Chapter 1497 Under the Overall Situation, All Living Things are Pawns

  Dongma Road, inside an abandoned building.

  Yuan Biao walked quickly through the corridor on the first floor, shouting loudly into the rooms, "When will they arrive? We can't hold on much longer!"

  The door of a room opened with a crash, and Yu Mingyuan walked out expressionlessly, followed by Qiu Ge. Inside, Kong ZhengHui's body lay there, looking exceptionally lonely and desolate.

  Qiu Ge turned his head and said to Yuan Biao, "We just received news that Xin Xiaodong's troops are advancing towards Dongma Road, and the second reinforcement team is also on its way."

  Yuan Biao nodded and turned to his deputy, shouting, "Xiao Xu!"

  "Here!"

  Xiao Xu quickly ran over from the left corridor, stopped in front of Yuan Biao, and saluted, "I've checked the surroundings, and only the building structure on the left is more complex, suitable for us to evacuate to the outside."

  Yuan Biao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, bring the Foreign Minister and the Garrison Brigade Commander over. We must move quickly and rush to the reinforcement point."

  Everyone agreed with this idea and began to take action.

  ...

  A minute later, at the window on the left side of the building.

  Five squad soldiers squatted on the ground, holding guns and forcing the District One Foreign Minister, Garrison Brigade Commander, and Chief of Staff to stand at the window.

  Yuan Biao bent over, squatted behind them, and shouted loudly in English to the outside, "See? Your Foreign Minister is in my hands. I think your approach is very unfriendly! If you approach us again, I might cut off one of his hands or dig out one of his eyes as revenge."

  The surrounding Garrison Brigade soldiers looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Their highest commander was in that building, being held hostage.

  At this moment, the Foreign Minister shouted tremblingly, "Open your eyes and see clearly! I am your Foreign Minister! Don't be impulsive, be rational!"

  The Garrison Brigade Commander clenched his fists, but still said firmly, "Mr. Foreign Minister, we are soldiers and must never compromise with the enemy!"

  The Foreign Minister's forehead was full of veins, he turned his head and glared at him, roaring, "Shut up, you idiot! You are a soldier who has been losing battles all day!"

  The Garrison Brigade Commander clenched his fists and remained silent.

  The surrounding soldiers had no choice but to retreat quickly.

  At the same time, in an alley one hundred meters away from the building, an officer hid in a military vehicle and asked into the communicator, "Our Foreign Minister, Garrison Brigade Commander, and Chief of Staff have all been captured by them. I don't know how to command now, please give us accurate orders from headquarters!"

  The other party immediately responded, "Received! You... must try your best to ensure the safety of the Foreign Minister."

  Inside the building, Yuan Biao continued to shout to the outside, "Immediately clear the area on the left and let us out! I don't want to see anyone there! Now, immediately!"

  "Bang!"

  As he spoke, Yuan Biao took out his pistol and fired a shot past the Garrison Brigade Commander's ear.

  "Ah!"

  Blood splattered, and the Garrison Brigade Commander screamed in pain, his head buzzing. He covered his bleeding right face, trembling, but still didn't say a word of begging for mercy.

  Inside the military vehicle, the officer saw the situation and immediately switched communication channels, shouting to the soldiers, "Before clear orders are issued, we must cooperate with them. Quickly clear the area on the left, hurry!"

  "Roger!"

  The soldiers did as they were told, and the area on the left was quickly cleared.

  Yuan Biao sent someone to look at the exit on the left, assessed the situation, and immediately waved his hand, shouting, "Smoke grenades!"

  "Swish, swish!"

  A large number of his soldiers rushed out and quickly threw smoke grenades around.

  "Tss, tss!"

  Soon, smoke spread around, almost covering the sky and streets. Everyone immediately crouched down and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly escape from the left exit!

  ...

  At the same time, at the forward base of the First Army Corps.

  Lieutenant General Mules, the commander-in-chief of the base, stood nervously in the command room, holding the phone in his hand, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, and softly asked, "What should we do now? Good, yes... I understand, I understand what you mean... That's it..."

  After speaking, Mules hung up the phone, his face returned to calm, and he turned to look at the dozen or so generals around him.

  These generals looked at him with some bewildered expressions. One of them tentatively asked, "Commander, they are coercing the Foreign Minister and fleeing towards the non-occupied area... What should we do?"

  Mules glanced at him and said meaningfully, "The Foreign Minister of our District One Military and Political Council will never be captured..."

  Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then dispersed.

  ...

  Near Dongma Road, at the mouth of a deep alley.

  Under the forced release by the District One Garrison Brigade, Yu Mingyuan and fifty others were escorting the Foreign Minister and others, scouting the way ahead. Yuan Biao led the remaining thirty or so people, providing cover in the rear.

  Both sides were moving extremely quickly, heading towards the non-occupied area. At this time, they were not too far from the pick-up unit.

  Just as everything was developing in a positive direction, a District One sniper on a distant building slowly aimed at the alley with his scope.

  "Bang!"

  With a loud gunshot, a soldier running in the front was instantly shot and killed, his body collapsing into a pool of blood.

  Yu Mingyuan looked at the comrade who fell beside him, a chill ran down his spine, and he quickly shouted to the surroundings, "Ambush! Take cover! They've made their move!"

  "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

  At this moment, a tide-like sound of footsteps rang out outside the alley! Garrison Brigade soldiers quickly poured out from a corner, holding machine guns and firing wildly at the enemies inside!

  "Da da da!"

  Dense bullets raged, soldiers in the front row kept falling, rubble flew, and blood and flesh splattered!

  The Foreign Minister squatted on the ground, trembling, shouting almost at the top of his lungs, "Damn it, who told you to shoot! Retreat, all of you retreat!"

  He roared hysterically, even the gunshots couldn't drown out his voice, which echoed around. But no one paid attention, and the only response he got was the increasingly intense gunfire.

  "Watch out for grenades!"

  Qiu Ge guarded the front of the alley and suddenly saw a row of grenades being thrown in the distance. He immediately shouted, then grabbed Yu Mingyuan and shielded him!

  "Clang, clang, clang!"

  Immediately afterward, a series of impacts sounded, and a dozen grenades collided with the walls of the alley, landing near everyone.

  "Boom, boom, boom!"

  In the narrow alley, a series of explosions erupted! Several soldiers had their legs blown off and were desperately dragged behind by their comrades.

  Yu Mingyuan shook his head, got up, patted the dust off his body, and pushed Qiu Ge, who was also unharmed, hard, "Never mind me, go protect the Foreign Minister!"

  At this time, the Foreign Minister's chest was also hit by several shrapnel pieces, but fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and was not seriously injured. He felt as if he had been punched hard several times, his throat was sweet, and he collapsed on the ground, his eyes vacant, and said, "These damn guys have abandoned their Foreign Minister..."

  The Garrison Brigade Commander covered his ears and said through gritted teeth, "These shameless politicians... it must be those guys from the Minjin Dang who issued the order!"

  "That's right, it must be those bastards, they've wanted to kill me for a long time..."

  "Slap!"

  Qiu Ge, covered in dirt, went up and slapped the Foreign Minister in the face, cursing, "Stop your blathering! You'll lose your head in a moment! Get up and follow me!"

  As he spoke, Qiu Ge personally protected the Foreign Minister, dodging the enemy's attacks.

  Although the other side quickly adopted the tactic of abandoning the Foreign Minister, as long as this old man was still alive, it would have extremely important political and military significance for Su Tianyu and the others. District One would be restrained in certain matters, so they had to ensure his safety, otherwise everything would be in vain!

  In the front, Yu Mingyuan turned his head and shouted, "Give me two assault teams! We have to break out!"

  "Yes!"

  The group that came with Yu Mingyuan turned to look at the surrounding soldiers, then quickly threw out smoke grenades. While creating smoke, they held machine guns and suppressed the enemy's firepower in both directions, desperately pushing the enemy back for the moment.

  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Mingyuan led the Foreign Minister and the others to quickly run out of the alley.

  At the same time, in the rear of the squad, Yuan Biao, who was responsible for covering, kept shouting loudly, "Don't panic! Watch your formation! Maintain your positions, don't be too concentrated, avoid enemy area attacks!"

  Hearing Yuan Biao's shouts, everyone maintained their formation and orderly retreated towards Yu Mingyuan and the others.

  "Da da da!"

  Yuan Biao accurately shot down two enemies with his automatic rifle, then turned his head and shouted, "Go, to the middle, move closer to the front!"

  "Yes!"

  While shouting, he suddenly felt a few shadows flash across the buildings opposite! He looked closely and found that several enemies had entered the building on the left at some point!

  "Nine o'clock direction! Enemies!"

  "Da da da!"

  Yuan Biao quickly raised his automatic rifle and fired a burst at the left!

  "Crash!"

  The window shattered, and Yuan Biao shot down two people with three shots, their bodies falling down.

  But at this moment, gunfire also rang out from the opposite side. While Yuan Biao was in action, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his right leg! He hurriedly looked down and realized that he had been shot three times in the thigh at some point. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, the surrounding flesh was rotten, and blood was flowing out.

  A burst of pain and weakness suddenly hit him, Yuan Biao's right leg weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

  "Boss!"

  Xiao Xu quickly approached, while holding a gun and continuously suppressing the firepower on the roof, he reached out his right leg to Yuan Biao.

  The two were extremely tacit, Yuan Biao grabbed his right leg, forced himself to stand up, leaned on his body, and threw two grenades upstairs!

  "Boom!"

  Two explosions came from upstairs, flames burst out, and then there was no more sound.

  "Swish!"

  A medic quickly rushed over, quickly knelt beside Yuan Biao, and wrapped a tourniquet around his leg.

  Xiao Xu hurriedly asked him, "Boss, are you okay?"

  Yuan Biao gritted his teeth, "I'm fine, keep moving!"

  Everyone quickly passed through the alley and ran towards the street at the exit. At this time, the distance between Yuan Biao and Yu Mingyuan's formation had widened.

  Xiao Xu looked around and couldn't help but say to him, "Boss, should we go from the side?"

  The shrewd Yuan Biao naturally knew what he meant. He was telling him to break away from Yu Mingyuan's formation and there might be a chance to break out from the weakly defended area, otherwise, if they continued to cover, they would most likely all die here.

  Yuan Biao glared his eyes and said without hesitation, "Ni Huan and Zheng Long are still in their hands! If we run, who will take care of them? We promised to cover, so we will cover! Everyone, quickly move towards the rear!"

  "Yes!" Xiao Xu nodded hard, saying nothing more.

  While shooting, everyone gradually approached the exit of the alley.

  Just then, Yuan Biao, who was aiming and shooting, suddenly heard a burst of footsteps behind him! He turned his head and saw Yu Mingyuan running over with a few people.

  "Yuan Biao!" Yu Mingyuan asked him anxiously, "How are you?"

  Yuan Biao subconsciously asked, "Why are you back?"

  Yu Mingyuan said without hesitation, "You guys are still here, how could I not come back to support you?"

  Yuan Biao was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

  Yu Mingyuan saw Yuan Biao's bloody right leg and immediately ordered the people next to him, "You're injured? You guys hurry up and carry him!"

  Yuan Biao had already come back to his senses and waved his hand, "Don't bother with that! You can't command my troops! If you command, they'll all die! We'll continue to cover, you guys leave quickly!"

  Yu Mingyuan frowned and asked, "If I leave, can you guys handle it?"

  Yuan Biao said impatiently, "Just leave already! Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape!"

  Yu Mingyuan hesitated, listening to the increasingly close gunshots, gritted his teeth and said, "Then be careful!"

  After speaking, he took a few people next to him and backed away, about to run out.

  Just then, Yuan Biao, who was shooting at the distance, suddenly turned his head and shouted at him, "Yu Mingyuan!"

  Yu Mingyuan stopped and looked back at him.

  Yuan Biao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't forget what you promised me!"

  Yu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and responded warmly, "Let's talk about it when you get back!"

  "Damn! Always saying useless things..."

  Yuan Biao cursed, held his gun, and continued to shoot and cover.

  At this time, while running, Yu Mingyuan shouted into the communicator, "Da Xiong, Xin Xiaodong, where are you guys?"

  Da Xiong took the lead in replying, "I can already hear the gunshots on your side, we're very close!"

  Soon, Xin Xiaodong also replied, "Three minutes, three minutes at most! Our troops will be right there!"

  Yu Mingyuan wiped his sweat and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up, we're encountering very fierce firepower! We can't hold on much longer!"

  ...

  In the rear, Yuan Biao led the remaining twenty or so people, fighting and staggering backward.

  "Da da da!"

  A row of bullets swept over, and several brothers fell into the pool of blood one after another!

  Yuan Biao gritted his teeth and turned his head to shout, "Xiao Xu, quick..."

  "Bang!"

  As soon as Xiao Xu turned his head, a bullet flew over, his head exploded with a bang, and he fell to the ground with blood spurting from his neck.

  "Xiao Xu!"

  Yuan Biao was stunned for a moment, his eyes bloodshot, and he rushed over to pull Xiao Xu. A soldier next to him grabbed his arm tightly and shouted at him, "Boss, let's go! He's already dead!"

  "Da da da!"

  Just as they were fighting hard, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly came from the left! Yuan Biao turned his head and glanced over there, and saw a familiar figure running over from a distance.
