Chapter 101: The War of Southern Expedition (Part 2)

  Yang Dong and others who were entrenched in the second battalion headquarters could only continuously intimidate the soldiers outside, threatening them that if they dared to come in, they would kill their superiors! At the same time, they prayed that the Sixth Division could quickly rush in to rescue them.

  Zhang Xinghai originally only acted on impulse, but unexpectedly succeeded so smoothly! Now that he has calmed down, he still feels a lingering sense of fear. However, this is clearly not the time to think about such things. He tightly grips the gun in his hand. "Either live or die!"

  The front line of the Fujian Army's position has been completely destroyed by the intense bombardment. The Fujian Army had not been stationed here for long and had not built any solid fortifications.

  This was still just the division's artillery support in the bombardment, and the Sixth Division's heavy artillery units were still drifting at sea. The Fujian Army on the front line, which had been slow to receive support, finally couldn't hold on after the Sixth Division's skirmishers rushed into the position!

  The officers of the Sixth Division, holding MP18s, crouched and jumped into the trenches first. The submachine guns in their hands poured down the remaining Fujian troops who were still resisting in the trenches like a rain of bullets.

  The officers' bravery greatly inspired the soldiers, and the soldiers who rushed into the trenches and the Fujian army officers engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat!

  This is a real test of the soldiers' courage and bravery! Bayonets and rifle butts clashed, hand grenades and steel helmets danced together, and the soldiers fought frantically with everything they could use. The shouting and screaming stimulated the soldiers' eyes to turn red, and this battle instantly entered **!

  The Second Division of the Army is indeed an elite force, in this case, having lost contact with friendly forces and without any support. Having endured a baptism by fire from cruel artillery, when the enemy rushed into the position with absolute superiority, they still held their ground!

  After a brief and intense hand-to-hand combat, the Fujian army troops guarding the position were almost all killed! The Gaoyang army, which had been victorious since its uprising in Fengzhou, encountered such a tough opponent for the first time.

  The casualty ratio of both sides is nearly 1:1! Although it was the attacking side, but this was under the circumstances of having an advantage and absolute artillery support! The officers and men of the Sixth Division, who were somewhat elated by a string of victories, were suddenly doused with a basin of cold water!

  But it's not time for a summary yet, the reserve team is coming up and the attack continues. In a very short period of time, the attacking troops of the Sixth Division poured into the Fen Shui Pass.

  In the dark of night, two equally powerful troops collided in the fine rain, a fusion of blood and fire! Brave lives were fleeting away rapidly.

  Inside the command post of the Second Division's Second Regiment at Fen Shui Guan, Yang Dong and others also heard the sounds of fierce fighting getting closer and closer. Accompanied by the occasional falling shells, the burning buildings' flames shooting into the sky, the hearts of several people became more and more excited.

  On the contrary, the guard soldiers outside the house have become more and more irritable. Now both sides are racing against time!

  A few minutes later, a battalion commander arrived outside the command post. Looking at the dimly lit house, he turned his head to look at the increasingly close flames and the falling shells that were getting closer and closer. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Charge in!"

  Yang Dong and others' greatest test has arrived.

  The soldiers of the second group did not use hand grenades, but instead used human wave tactics to rush into the house. Yang Dong and others also knew that the final moment had arrived, held their breath, found cover, and waited for the soldiers to rush in before pulling the trigger!

  In the dark room, a dense crowd of people rushing in was knocked down by a sudden burst of gunfire! The remaining soldiers immediately lay on the ground and fired back. At this time, they couldn't care about the lives or deaths of their superiors anymore!

  The house is not small, but the door is not big! The walls are all thick and solid bricks, and even if you rush to blow them up, you won't be able to open them in time. You can only risk your life and charge inside.

  The Fujian soldiers concentrated their firepower on the place with gun smoke in front of them, and within a short period of time, two warriors were shot down. Yang Dong was also hit by a jumping bullet in his thigh, and the severe pain made him bite his mouth corner!

  The brave Fujian soldiers rushed into the house frantically, while Yang Dong and others had limited ammunition. Moreover, they still needed to change magazines, and it seemed that they were about to be overwhelmed. After Zhang Xinghai loaded his last magazine, he was already prepared to touch the photos of his wife and children in his pocket.

  Just then a sharp whistling sound came from afar, and Yang Dong and others were shocked. They were very familiar with this sound!

  One side fell to the ground. Immediately, a huge explosion sounded! The surging massive flames, the shockwave sweeping across all directions, and the flying shrapnel instantly turned the command center into an earthly hell! This was the firepower propulsion's advancing cannon fire!

  His ears were still ringing. Zhang Xinghai, who was shocked by the shockwave and felt dizzy and nauseous, struggled to lean against a pillar and sat up.

  The surroundings were filled with burning flames everywhere. The roof of the house was also blown open, and a fine rain fell down on my face. A cool feeling. The surviving wounded soldiers were all screaming frantically.

  Zhang Xinghai took a big mouthful of the damp air, listening to the shouts and screams of the Sixth Division's officers and soldiers getting closer and closer outside. He couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly! The louder he laughed, the more unrestrained it became, shaking the heavens, even drowning out the cacophony of gunfire. Finally, they had turned the tables!

  The Battle of Fen-shui Pass continued until dawn. The Second Division, Second Brigade of the Army was cut off and surrounded after losing command, and were annihilated one by one! However, these officers and soldiers of the Second Division fought to the death in extremely adverse conditions, with many units fighting until the last man!

  The strength of the Second Division gave a great shock to the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division! If there was no artillery support, sufficient logistical security and an absolute advantage in military strength ratio, the Sixth Division might not be able to defeat the opponent.

  The next afternoon, Gao Yang and the Sixth Division headquarters arrived in Wenzhou. At the same time, a fleet of cargo ships loaded with heavy artillery units and large quantities of supplies docked at Wenzhou Port. The navy escorted the landing troops to continue heading towards Xiamen, preparing to cut off Sun Commander's rear route.

  Gao Yang met with Yang Dong and Zhang Xinghai who came to report at the forward command post in Wenzhou.

  Sat down on the chair, propped up his legs and gently tapped his fingers. Gaoyang looked at the two people standing in military posture with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and asked lightly "What's going on? Tell me."

  Yang Dong and Zhang Xinghai exchanged a glance, then detailedly reported the events that occurred at the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment last night.

  "You're here for negotiations, why resort to violence?" Gao Yang asked Zhang Xinghai in a low voice.

  He gritted his teeth. Zhang Xinghai said loudly, "Because they were rude to the inspector! I will not tolerate it!"

  The moving fingers stopped, and Gao Yang looked at Zhang Xinghai seriously. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said softly, "You can all go busy now."

  Yang Dong and Zhang Xinghai stood at attention and saluted. They turned around and left.

  Gao Yang let out a long sigh and got up to the combat room. He walked to Wei Ke's side and said faintly, "Restore Zhang Xinghai's original military rank."

  "Yes! Sir!"

  That night, the endless stream of car lights outside Wenzhou City was like a long dragon, continuously heading south!

  After dinner, Gao Yang ordered the guards that no one was allowed to disturb him. After returning to his room, he activated the time-space shuttle and returned to modern times.

  Inside the apartment, Gao Yang glanced at the time, it was past 7 o'clock in the evening. Lying on the sofa, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zheng Xiujing's number. No one answered, she should be rushing to a commercial shoot.

  After hanging up the phone, I sent a text message to Zheng Xiujing, telling her that I had to go to Hong Kong tonight and couldn't accompany her. However, I will be back soon, don't worry. Take good care of yourself and don't get sick. A considerate comfort.

  When I woke up in the morning, Stock's housekeeper called to report that the villa in Hong Kong had been arranged. Gaoyang's parents had already packed their luggage and were preparing to board a plane to Hong Kong today.

  This is something that must be welcomed, Gaoyang had already booked the ticket to Hong Kong for tonight. When arriving in Hong Kong, there was no need to leave the airport, and after waiting for more than an hour at the airport, parents' flight arrived.

  After a simple shower in the bathroom, he changed into a black formal shirt, casual long pants, and shiny leather shoes. He put on an overcoat and left the apartment to drive to Incheon Airport. His bodyguards and assistants were already waiting at the airport.

  After more than two hours of flight, the plane that Gao Yang was on arrived at Hong Kong International Airport.

  When getting off the plane, Gao Yang looked at the rows of planes illuminated by the lights and couldn't help but complain when he could sit on his own plane.

  Walked out of the passageway and sat down in a coffee shop near the arrival hall. After ordering an iced coffee, I took out my phone and turned it on to find several text messages. They were all from Zheng Xiujing.

  All were caring, comforting and missing messages.

  Gao Yang smiled and sent a safe text message back to Zheng Xiujing.

  "OPPA, we got another one today!"

  "Ah ah, great! Congratulations to you all!"

  "Hmph, no sincerity at all."

  "What counts as being sincere?"

  "Ice cream! Ice cream! My sisters all say it's delicious!"

  "Eating too much will hurt your stomach."

  "No way! OPPA! I want to eat ice cream!"

  "Okay, wait till I get back and I'll buy you an ice cream."

  "OPPA is the best!"

  "Has ice cream bought you off?"

  The pleasant time always passes quickly. Until the assistant came to his side and whispered that the plane where his parents were on had arrived. Gao Yang only then realized that more than an hour had passed without him noticing!

  Helplessly shaking her head slightly, she sent a goodnight message to Zheng Xiujing, ending this round of messaging.

  He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then stood up to head to the arrival hall. Just as he was about to leave the cafe, Gao Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at the TV hanging on the wall.

  On the screen is a group of black armed men holding AKs exchanging fire in the city, with occasional explosions. Several burning armored vehicles are parked alone on the road, burning fiercely, with thick smoke rolling up to the sky, obviously an RPG's handiwork.

  "A military coup has occurred in a certain African country, with fierce fighting between the anti-government armed forces and the army in the capital. The international community has reacted differently to this, with the French government being the first to say that it will..."

  Gao Yang quietly watched the news, a faint smile on his face. "It's started."

  PS: The holiday is over, and I'm preparing to return to the company. Another whole day spent on the train, what a pain! To all my friends, thank you for your support, I'm deeply grateful. Once again, please vote for me with your monthly ticket, thank you so much!
