Chapter 217 The Rebellion

Seeing the soldiers at the intersection setting up machine guns, Gu Baisun's scalp went numb. He immediately shouted into the intercom, "Retreat! This garrison has rebelled!"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of machine guns erupted in his ears.

"Da da da!"

A massive barrage of bullets sprayed towards the Quan Tong Bureau convoy, sending golden sparks flying from the armored vehicles!

At the same time, several armored vehicles rushed out from the street entrance, crushing the roadside flowerbeds and aggressively clearing the way.

Behind the armored vehicles, a force of four or five hundred soldiers, riding armed pickups or on foot, followed closely, launching an attack on them.

The armed forces on the Quan Tong Bureau side immediately returned fire, retreating as they fought!

Gu Baisun, sitting in the military vehicle, listened to the gunfire outside. Without a second thought, he pulled out his phone and called Su Tianbei, quickly warning, "Watch your back! Enemies are coming!"

"Bang bang!"

"Boom!"

Just as he finished speaking, two loud explosions came through the phone.

After a moment, Su Tianbei's voice finally rang out, cursing, "Damn it, I'm under attack from the side too! A garrison force has popped up out of nowhere. They've rebelled!"

Gu Baisun gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and said, "Report your situation to Xin Xiaodong immediately!"

"Okay, I got it! Be careful on your end!"

"Okay!"

The two hung up. Gu Baisun, looking at the rebel army that had suddenly opened fire, picked up the intercom and said, "Everyone, avoid direct conflict. Immediately move closer to Su Tianbei's direction!"

"Yes!"

…

At the same time, near the military dependents' gathering place.

Su Tianbei's troops had already blocked the entrance, but just as they finished their deployment, a force suddenly rushed out from the side and attacked them!

This force numbered about four or five thousand, all wearing garrison uniforms and using garrison equipment and weapons.

They seemed to have come prepared. After launching a siege without a word, their firepower was extremely fierce, and their advance was rapid, catching Su Tianbei's forces completely off guard.

Although Su Tianbei's troops had launched a counterattack, they were unable to mount an effective resistance for the time being, and the troops were retreating steadily!

"Boom boom!"

Another round of intense artillery fire sounded, the explosions not far from Su Tianbei's command post! His expression was grave as he immediately connected to Xin Xiaodong's phone.

…

On the south side of Anhe Street, the First Division's troops were pushing fiercely into the city.

In the command vehicle, Xin Xiaodong listened to Su Tianbei's report, his face pale, his lips purple, his fingers gripping the phone tightly, and the anger in his eyes was hard to conceal!

Along with this anger, a deep sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

Since the start of the war, the First Army of the People's Army had been the mainstay of Longcheng's defense, resisting the fierce attacks from the First Corps.

After several battles, the First Army had suffered heavy losses but had not yielded an inch. But not only did they have to defend against the First Corps' armored divisions and the combined attacks of the air force, but now they also had to divide their forces and delve deep into the city to quell internal rebellions, leaving the soldiers of the First Army almost exhausted!

Xin Xiaodong clenched his fist. He didn't know what was going on with the garrison, why problems were occurring so frequently!

These frequent incidents fueled the anger in his heart, making it increasingly unbearable! But at the same time, there was a sense of helplessness, an inability to change the situation!

This battle was just too damn frustrating!! There were too many weathervanes, rebels everywhere!

Under intense pressure, Xin Xiaodong could only force himself to adjust his emotions, pick up the phone again, and say to Su Tianbei, "Tianbei, hold on there, I will send reinforcements to you as soon as possible!"

"Okay!"

Su Tianbei agreed without thinking. The two quickly hung up.

"Damn it, this battle has to be quick!" Xin Xiaodong thought for a moment, turned to Wu, the chief of staff beside him, and said, "Notify the Guard Regiment, get ready for me, I'm going up too! There's no time left, if we can't take it down, Longcheng will collapse!"

"Yes!" Chief of Staff Wu hesitated slightly, but immediately agreed and began to deploy the mission downwards.

Soon, in order to speed up the offensive, Xin Xiaodong's forces were forced to push his entire Guard Regiment forward, launching a fierce attack on Anhe Street.

…

At 10:50 PM, the Longcheng Frontline Garrison Headquarters.

Several military vehicles stopped in front of the headquarters. An Zecheng, with his guards, hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards the operations command center.

He had received Gu Baisun's report and, almost without hesitation, had come here as quickly as possible.

Two minutes later, the door of the operations command center was pushed open. An Zecheng saw Tan Hengqiang, who was in a meeting with the officers, and said bluntly, "Commander, a garrison in the city has rebelled!"

The generals in the room were surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.

Tan Hengqiang was also stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Is the news accurate?"

An Zecheng nodded emphatically, "Absolutely true, it's near the military dependents' gathering place!"

Tan Hengqiang's expression quickly became serious, and he asked again, "Has it been verified which unit it is?"

An Zecheng shook his head, "Not yet."

Tan Hengqiang turned his head and shouted, "Staff, investigate for me! Which unit is causing trouble!"

"Yes!"

Just as the staff was about to investigate, a communications soldier answered a phone call, then walked over and saluted Tan Hengqiang, "Report, Commander, a call from the city's intelligence department!"

Tan Hengqiang frowned and reached out to take the microphone, putting it to his ear, "Speak!"

The intelligence officer's voice came from the microphone, "Report, Commander, my department received a report from the internal patrol regiment! The first logistics support regiment, the second logistics support regiment, and the second patrol regiment have rebelled under the direction of Chief of General Staff Zhang Xunchen! They also contacted the commander of the first patrol regiment midway, but the other party did not agree and quickly withdrew, while conveying the intelligence to my department!"

"Bang!"

Hearing this, Tan Hengqiang couldn't help but fly into a rage, slamming the microphone heavily on the ground! He supported himself on the sand table, his face full of disbelief, his head buzzing!

Tan Hengqiang never expected that even Zhang Xunchen had betrayed him!

The voice from the microphone was loud, and the officers in the entire operations command center heard it clearly, and couldn't help but fall silent, their faces complex, not knowing what to say.

The huge command room was silent, quiet as a tomb.

After a long while, Tan Hengqiang suddenly realized something and immediately roared, "Where's Ming Chao?! Quick, ask where Ming Chao is!!"

…

At the same time, in a safe house.

"I can't kill him!" Zhang Xunchen sat on the sofa, holding the phone, and said to Kang Dinghuang with a troubled expression, "He's surrounded by his own people, I have no way to arrange an assassination plan!"
