Chapter 148 The Second Bombing Plan

It was a little after seven in the evening, at the frontline suppression base of the First Army Corps on the outskirts of Dragon City.

Lu Zhen, dressed in a suit and holding a confidential document, led four men as he hurried down the hallway.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the door of the temporary office set up for Kang Dinghuang. Lu Zhen reached out and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in!"

A familiar voice came from inside. Lu Zhen opened the door and saw Kang Dinghuang sitting inside, dealing with work.

Seeing his old friend, Kang Dinghuang looked up and said with a smile, "You're here. Sit down."

"Yeah." Lu Zhen left the others outside and came in alone, sitting down opposite Kang Dinghuang. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, you've been promoted again!"

Kang Dinghuang waved his hand. "It's not necessarily a good thing. Getting promoted at a time like this, it's fine if you do well, but if you don't, you might lose your head."

According to the notice of appointment from the Chinese Army Corps and the First District Supreme Military and Political Council, Kang Dinghuang was officially appointed as the Chief of General Staff of the Chinese Army Corps. This order had just been issued, mainly to have him responsible for the strategic layout against Dragon City.

"You just think too much."

Lu Zhen smiled, took out the confidential document, and pushed it in front of Kang Dinghuang. "This is the bombing plan for tonight. Take a look. The commander-in-chief has already approved it."

"Okay." Kang Dinghuang reached out, took the document, and began to read it.

The name on the document was: "Dragon City Second Bombing Plan."

The main bombing targets were the Dragon City administrative building and several important military supply storage warehouses in the city.

After reading it carefully, Kang Dinghuang put down the document, turned to Lu Zhen and asked, "Have your people already gone?"

"They've gone." Lu Zhen nodded. "Actually, the benefits of this bombing will be relatively small. The other side isn't stupid. The war has been going on for so long, and there has already been a large-scale bombing. The relevant military supplies should have been transferred long ago. The main purpose of this is still to force those people in Dragon City to move, creating opportunities for our people."

Kang Dinghuang thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with the plan, so he picked up a pen and signed his name at the bottom of the document with a few strokes. He handed the document to Lu Zhen and said, "This time, we've placed a heavy bet. I not only agreed to this bombing plan, but also used the last few trump cards I planted in Dragon City on your team. If they are used well, the end of this war in Dragon City will be in the next two days!"

"Of course!" Lu Zhen said very solemnly, "In order to allow these people to successfully complete the mission, I paid a bloody price!"

Kang Dinghuang didn't know what bloody price his old friend had paid, but seeing how serious the other party was, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "I hope everything goes well!"

After the two finished speaking, Lu Zhen took the document and got up to leave the office.

A dozen minutes later, at the air force base of the First Army Corps in the First District.

A large number of bombers began to quickly fill ammunition, and then, under command, entered the runway in groups, ready to carry out the mission.

...

Meanwhile, in the Old Mo region.

The situation on this battlefield remained deadlocked. The 100,000 troops led by Mod'ermeng were constantly being nibbled away and beaten, so they had to continue to shrink inward.

Many warlord forces, because of excessive personnel losses, began to generate a lot of negative emotions. They felt that they were losing too much in this matter. If they continued to fight like this, they would lose everything they had!

After weighing the pros and cons, many peripheral warlord generals began to choose to desert, leaving the main force and fleeing towards their own territory.

However, Mod'ermeng's troops were still persevering, because they couldn't move. Issuing a retreat order at this time would be pure foolishness. Once the troops collapsed, they would be completely annihilated in minutes.

Therefore, they could only wholeheartedly hope that the rebels could quickly advance into the inland areas and complete their rendezvous with them.

In this process, Xing Yao, who led his troops to push back the local logistics supply troops, finally arrived at Mod'ermeng's base camp—Xinlai area—after a rapid insertion.

...

In a deep mountain in the Xinlai area.

Because of the long-distance raid, Xing Yao's troops were a little tired and were now hiding in the mountain gully to rest.

A total of more than six hundred people, all with camouflage covering their bodies. Some were lying in the gully sleeping, and some were eating military rations to replenish their strength.

Although everyone was physically tired, their eyes were bright and full of energy!

Xing Yao sat in a dirt pit, holding a self-heating lean meat and rice meal in his hand, eating. This kind of self-heating food tasted really average, but at this time, being able to eat something hot to fill his stomach was better than anything else.

After stuffing a few mouthfuls of rice, Xing Yao picked up a metal wine pot, poured himself a mouthful of white wine, and then kicked Lao Qian, who was lying next to him, and ordered, "Lao Qian, find a team of scouts, with sensitive noses, and catch me a few big fish, otherwise there's no point in coming here!"

"Okay." Lao Qian patted his butt, bent over, and left the dirt pit.

A few minutes later, Xing Yao finished his meal and buried the can in the ground.

"Everything is arranged." At this time, Lao Qian ran back in a hurry, plopped down next to him, turned his head and said to Xing Yao, "Xiao Xing, I feel like you're very excited this time!"

Xing Yao clapped his hands and said in a low voice, "Damn it, being a soldier, it's all about martial prowess in troubled times. Especially for us ordinary soldiers without any background, we can only risk our lives to fight for a chance."

Lao Qian sighed and couldn't help but said, "I didn't think about being promoted four or five levels in a row. Whether we win or lose, I'll be happy if I can get a regular regiment position when it's over!"

Xing Yao took a sip of wine and glanced at him, "Is that all you aspire to?"

Lao Qian thought for a while and grinned, "A deputy division commander would be good too!"

Xing Yao smiled and said, "You've been with me for so long, and you still can't keep up with my pace!"

Lao Qian also took out his own wine pot, took a sip and said, "I don't have as much ambition as you! I'm already this old, and my prostate isn't excited anymore. Isn't that good enough?"

The two looked at each other, smiled, bumped their wine pots together, and took a sip of wine.

At this time, the sound of gunfire around them rose and fell, surging endlessly. Only in this remote mountain gully, a large number of soldiers lay on the ground, resting or eating, rarely having such a moment of tranquility on the battlefield.

...

Dragon City, at an unknown location.

In the basement, Gu Baisun and Yu Mingyuan talked for about twenty minutes.

Finally, the two left separately. Yu Mingyuan left the basement alone, but soon disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he went.

Gu Baisun then went to the administrative building and secretly met with Li Mingsheng for about half an hour before he turned and left.

In the car, Gu Baisun took out his cell phone and dialed Su Tianbei's number, "Are you in position?"

Su Tianbei nodded, "Already in position."

Gu Baisun immediately said, "I'll be there right away. Get ready to move!"

Su Tianbei replied without hesitation, "Okay."
