Chapter 1388 Just One Step Away!
Twenty minutes later, near the No. 2 Water Plant in Dragon City.
The battle was over. The entire area was a mess, with ruins and corpses everywhere. The huge reservoirs were either blown open or burning fiercely, a terrifying sight.
Unfortunately, Yuan Biao was not captured at the scene.
Under Kang Dinghuang's instructions, the air support fighter jets came a total of five times, conducting nearly ground-level air strikes, while releasing a large number of jamming bullets and incendiary bombs, using powerful firepower to open a passage for Yuan Biao and his men to escape.
Yuan Biao's command squad, under the desperate protection of many soldiers from several sides, and with the strong support of air power, fled the battlefield in a disheveled state.
But after they had completely escaped, Yuan Biao counted the number of people and found that there were only ninety-seven team members left, a small number of whom were wounded. The other two hundred or so were either captured or killed, forever left on that battlefield...
Such a huge loss almost made Yuan Biao unable to stand. Each of the three hundred soldiers he brought this time was an elite force cultivated with a lot of manpower and material resources!
Thinking of this, Yuan Biao's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth, endured the anger and grief in his heart, and continued to flee with the remaining people.
...
10:30 p.m., Anhe District, Dragon City.
Because of the sudden attack and encirclement from Su Tianbei and the encirclement and suppression by Xin Xiaodong's troops, the main force of the five regiments of the Wang family were blocked in the Anhe District, caught in a dilemma.
The sound of gunfire was constant and continuous on the streets.
With wolves in front and tigers in the back, and having to protect a huge family, the morale of the Wang family's armed forces was extremely low, and the situation was precarious.
At the same time, Su Tianbei, wearing a neat military uniform, was standing in the temporary command post behind the battlefield, discussing the next strategy with Gu Baishun.
While the two were discussing, a communications soldier quickly ran to Su Tianbei, gave a crisp military salute, and said, "Report! Commander Xin Xiaodong is calling!"
Su Tianbei took the satellite phone and asked, "Hello? Xiaodong?"
Xin Xiaodong said concisely, "Tianbei, don't let your people push forward anymore! You have fewer people there, and pushing forward won't do much. Listen to me, let your troops avoid direct conflict. Just block the gap and don't let them continue to drill into the city. My Second Division will crash into them immediately and crush them in one go!"
"Understood, I'll do it now!" Su Tianbei agreed without hesitation.
"That's it then, my troops will be there soon!"
"Okay!"
The two hung up the phone. Su Tianbei explained the situation to Gu Baishun, then called a few core generals under his command and began to deploy tactics.
After the order was issued, the regiment led by Su Tianbei immediately began to move, gradually blocking all the surrounding traffic arteries, like a tightening pocket.
...
At the same time, on the south side of Anhe District, Dragon City.
The Second Division under Xin Xiaodong's command, a full eight thousand troops, all lightly armed, launched a pursuit along the streets towards the fleeing Wang family's armed forces.
The entire Second Division was an elite force, and the obstacles in the entire block had been destroyed by the artillery regiment, causing the Wang family's armed forces to be unable to form an effective resistance, and could only retreat again and again, suffering heavy casualties.
"Da da da!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The streets were filled with fire, and the Second Division's attack was like a hot knife through butter, advancing all the way!
In the rear of the troops, in a command vehicle, Xin Xiaodong was sitting in the car. After just hanging up the phone with Su Tianbei, he immediately arranged the next tactics with several core generals, preparing to completely wipe out this rebel army of the Wang family.
At this moment, Wu, the chief of staff next to him, answered a phone call, his expression changing slightly.
Xin Xiaodong noticed his expression and immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
Chief of Staff Wu turned his head and said with some concern, "It's the First Division. I received intelligence that they can't hold on any longer. Some areas have been breached, and the First Army's troops have begun to enter the city."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals in the command vehicle became complicated.
"The First Army's offensive rhythm is too fierce. Do we have enough time?"
"Lao Wang has been fighting until now with one division against the First Army's more than 50,000 people. It's already not easy."
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Xin Xiaodong was silent for a moment, and said to Chief of Staff Wu, "Wang Dacheng is a blockhead. If I don't give him an order, he won't retreat. Tell him to retreat further into the city's defense zone, regroup his troops, and rely on the rear defense zone to buy me some more time."
"Okay." Chief of Staff Wu nodded.
Xin Xiaodong looked at the other officers again and said loudly, "At the same time, notify the entire Second Division to speed up, advance at full speed, finish this work for me as soon as possible, and return to support the First Division!"
"Yes!"
Everyone saluted in unison and immediately began to arrange the next task.
...
Just as Xin Xiaodong's troops accelerated their pace again, in Dragon City, a group of armed forces wearing garrison uniforms, driving armored vehicles and a large number of armed pickups, divided into more than a dozen teams, secretly entered the battlefield where Su Tianbei was located along the streets.
On the other side, Su Tianbei was still continuing to deploy defense missions, and the troops gradually dispersed, blocking all the important roads.
In the temporary command post, Gu Baishun looked at his watch, looked up at Su Tianbei and said, "The situation is about the same here. I'll go first. I have other things to deal with."
"Okay!" Su Tianbei immediately got up and said, "We'll contact you in time if there's any situation!"
"Okay."
After saying goodbye, Gu Baishun left the驻地 and took a military vehicle, under the protection of the Quan Tong Bureau guards, slowly drove out along the street.
Sitting in the car, he ignored the constant gunfire around him and was thinking about the next steps.
The Wang family's rebel forces will be destroyed soon. Next, we must continue to race against time to complete the remaining plan and reduce the pressure on Dragon City's defense...
At this moment, the guard responsible for driving suddenly said, "Mayor Gu, there's a situation ahead."
Gu Baishun opened his eyes and looked out the car window.
He saw on the opposite street that a group of soldiers had blocked the road with military vehicles at some point.
Gu Baishun took a look and found that the soldiers were wearing garrison uniforms. He couldn't help frowning, picked up the walkie-talkie, and instructed the military vehicle in front, "Go and ask what's going on ahead, why are the garrison troops here?"
"Yes!"
The guard in front responded.
But at this moment, Gu Baishun suddenly saw that the garrison soldiers blocking the intersection had set up machine guns very neatly. He immediately became alert, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Something's wrong! Retreat immediately!"
