Chapter 783 The Road Out of the City
Both trucks were marked with the number of the Tan-affiliated garrison corps, and their appearance was no different from the garrison's military vehicles.
Su Tianyu and the others in the cab, as well as the riot squad warriors disguised as soldiers in the truck bed, were all wearing the garrison headquarters' military uniforms. They looked imposing, their expressions solemn.
Inside the vehicle, Su Tianyu's right hand kept rubbing his thigh, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Without mentioning Gou Liuzi's experiences before joining the army, just considering his involvement in the Dragon City political arena, he had experienced several major events. Logically, his mental fortitude should be very strong, but at this moment, as he was on his way out, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He felt that with every turn of the wheels, he and his brothers in the vehicle were one step closer to death.
With so many forces involved and such a chaotic Dragon City, there were too many uncontrollable events that couldn't be judged by pre-designed plans. Even if Zhuge Liang were resurrected at this moment, he certainly wouldn't dare guarantee that the development of all events would proceed in the direction he had planned.
Su Tianyu adjusted his breathing, slowly took out his phone, and dialed a number.
Three minutes later, Su Tianyu said to the Yao Doudou brothers who were driving, "Head towards Nancheng Street. Don't take the small roads, take the main road."
"Understood!" the driver nodded.
At the same time, Jin Maohui held the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Withdraw, move to the outer perimeter."
"Roger!"
Each squadron immediately responded.
...
At the mountain pass outside the 55th Army's defense zone, after Guo Zhengdao led the team to draw away most of the firepower, Su Tianbei led his men to hard-fight three waves towards the mountain, finally breaking through the Tan-affiliated forces' blockade. He went straight in to meet Fei Pingsheng and the others.
"Defend along the downhill road!"
Su Tianbei shouted, holding his gun, his voice extremely fast, "Spread out a bit, just delay them from entering."
Gu Baishun's men scattered upon hearing this and ran in all directions. Su Tianbei fired several shots into the sky to remind Fei Pingsheng to come over.
About two minutes later, Fei Pingsheng came over with only four people, shouting at Su Tianbei, "Can we get down?!"
"Yes, yes!" Su Tianbei waved his hand and shouted, "Quick, let them run forward along the woods. Get in the cars when you get down the mountain. The boats are waiting."
"Come here, come here!" Fei Pingsheng shouted back.
A dozen seconds later, a large number of family members of the involved military officers ran downhill one after another. The selfishness of human nature was fully displayed at this moment. Many adults led only their children and families, running forward, while along the way, no one cared about the elderly and children who were knocked down or tripped. Many people were separated and couldn't find their relatives.
Cries and calls for help rose and fell. Su Tianbei's men were trying their best to rescue people, but they couldn't protect everyone. Now, it was a matter of saving as many as possible.
A large number of people had passed through the protected area and were heading down the mountain. At this time, Su Tianbei noticed the number of people on his side and turned to look at Fei Pingsheng, asking, "Where are my brothers?"
"Go back!" Fei Pingsheng said without hesitation, "They are blocking the investigation team behind us. Without them, we wouldn't be able to get here."
As soon as Su Tianbei heard this, he immediately held up his gun and shouted, "Tongji Society members, follow me up! Our brothers are inside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Baishun rushed up and grabbed Su Tianbei, "You and Lao Fei can't go in! We've already wasted a lot of time going up the mountain. If we go any further, the other side will close the door and no one will be able to escape!"
"Bullshit! If you're afraid of death, you take your men to send the involved military families away first!" Su Tianbei shook off his arm with red eyes, "Zhang Hao and Tianzhan are my younger brothers, how the hell can I not go back?!"
After speaking, Su Tianbei, Fei Pingsheng, and a group of Tongji Society members immediately rushed up the mountain.
Gu Baishun looked at their backs and, seeing that he couldn't stop them, followed them without much hesitation, and even called out to his brothers, "Move forward, give me cover."
Inside, the gunfire was intense.
Su Tianzhan was shot in the arm and lay behind a large tree, covered in blood.
"Drag Xiaozhan to the back, drag him to the back!" Zhang Hao was still shouting.
"There's no one left! Everyone on the left is dead... all dead...!" A military officer sent by Chief of Staff Wu shouted, mentally collapsing.
...
Dragon City, Nancheng Street.
More than eighty soldiers from the Fourth Division of the garrison had controlled all the passable road sections in the vicinity. There were roadblocks everywhere, and soldiers in formation were patrolling and checking.
However, with such serious gunfire in Dragon City, the people were not fools. They all knew that something big had happened in the city, so they hid in their homes and dared not show their faces. There were almost no civilian vehicles on the road.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Two military trucks drove from the direction of the headquarters. Su Tianyu sat in the driver's seat, looking at the checkpoint in front of him and the dense enemy soldiers. His heart was pounding.
"Should we drive through?" the driver asked.
"Drive through," Su Tianyu replied.
"Clatter!"
Yao Doudou sat in the back seat, lowered his head and cocked his gun, immediately saying into the headset, "Everyone pay attention! If there's gunfire in a while, at least several hundred enemy soldiers will gather here within thirty seconds. We definitely can't beat them. At that time, protect my brother and Lao Xin and leave first, and the others find their own escape routes."
"Roger!"
"Roger!"
"……!"
Yao Doudou's brothers responded one after another.
"Gulp!"
Su Tianyu swallowed and said to Yao Doudou in a hoarse voice, "To be honest, I wasn't this nervous even when we were on the independent battlefield..."
"That's for sure. When we were on the independent battlefield, we were all just grunts, and our actions only determined our own life and death." Yao Doudou replied very classically, "But now... you are deciding the life and death of many people. The psychological pressure is different."
At this point, Su Tianyu fell silent, and the car arrived in front of the哨卡.
"Whoosh!"
The soldiers in the哨卡 raised their guns when they saw the car approaching.
Su Tianyu lowered the window and shouted, "We are from the Third Company of the Guard Regiment, ordered by Chief of Staff Zhang of the headquarters to go out of the city to接引 our troops into the city to maintain stability."
An officer walked over and looked at Su Tianyu in the car. The latter had a fake beard on his face and stared at him sharply.
The two looked at each other.
"What's the name of the Third Company Commander of the Guard Regiment?" the officer below asked in a cold voice.
Su Tianyu looked at him and said, word by word, "I am the Third Company Commander, don't you recognize me?!"
The Fourth Division officer stood under the car, his right hand pressing on his waist, his eyes cold.
The two stared at each other. Yao Doudou in the back seat had already raised his gun and aimed at the machine gunner's head through the windshield.
