The Chinese armed forces' camp, outside the encirclement.

Wang Zhengjun, with over a dozen officers, had arrived at the outer defensive perimeter of the stationed town.

Various defensive fortifications had been constructed, and the soldiers, all wearing helmets, were dispersed throughout the town, setting up guns and cannons, preparing to engage the enemy.

Judging from the defense planning, the deployment of each battalion's formation, and the individual state of the soldiers facing war, it wasn't difficult to see that the Hua Gong Hui's armed forces were several levels below the Third Division, or even the Chi Army.

Although they numbered five thousand, they couldn't really be called an army; at best, they were armed personnel carrying guns.

But there was no helping it. Since its establishment, the Hua Gong Hui hadn't experienced many large-scale armed conflicts. Most of the people they recruited were laborers and poor people, with little military combat experience.

Therefore, even if the commanders leading the troops were highly qualified, it would take several actual battles to completely change the spirit and morale of this armed force.

...

Wang Zhengjun, wearing a military uniform, stood behind a trench, discussing something with several officers from the staff department around a military map. Just then, his adjutant, wearing a helmet, hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Report!" He approached Wang Zhengjun and handed him a letter: "News has come in from outside."

"How did it get in?" Wang Zhengjun asked as he took the letter.

"The other side sent it in with a drone," the adjutant replied. "But we don't know who sent it."

"Hmm..." Wang Zhengjun opened the letter and looked at it. After a while, he frowned and handed the letter to the other staff officers: "Take a look at this."

Everyone passed it around, and it simply said four words: "Hold the ground."

Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, one of the young staff officers couldn't help but ask with doubt, "Who issued this order? Could it be a trick sent by the other side to deceive us?"

"No," Wang Zhengjun waved his hand. "I recognize my second uncle's handwriting. This letter was indeed written by him."

This order was indeed a bit outrageous, because they didn't understand the intention of holding their ground.

Just as everyone was wondering, a loudspeaker suddenly blared outside.

"Wang Zhengjun! Come out! Let's talk!"

As soon as Wang Zhengjun heard this slightly leaky, croaking voice, he knew it was Dong Ke.

Dong Ke shouted again through the loudspeaker, "Wang Zhengjun! I'm here to talk to you with sincerity! Come out!"

Wang Zhengjun reached out, asked an officer below for a loudspeaker, and walked to the front of the trench.

Outside, Dong Ke was still yelling at the top of his lungs, "Wang Zhengjun, listen to me, we're all brothers! There have been changes at the top, but we don't have to fight with real knives and guns and cause casualties. As long as you surrender and hand over military power, I guarantee the safety of your Wang family. Things have come to this, it's meaningless for you to resist with so many brothers. You can't get out."

Seeing that Wang Zhengjun didn't say anything, Dong Ke shouted loudly again, "You've seen it too. We have so many people surrounding you here, and the government troops have also come. Can't you see the situation? Wang Zhengjun, does your Wang family want to take five thousand brothers and compatriots to die together? Once the artillery starts, it will be too late. Believe me, there is no deadly feud between us. As long as you leave the army and leave, we will never make things difficult for you!"

After listening, Wang Zhengjun directly cursed, "There's no deadly feud my ass! My third uncle was harmed by you, and he's still locked up in the Central Bureau!"

Dong Ke explained, "Listen to me, that was a misunderstanding!"

Wang Zhengjun continued to curse, "Misunderstanding your mother! Are your teeth better again?"

It's bad to hit someone in the face, and worse to expose their shortcomings. Wang Zhengjun's words directly broke Dong Ke's composure: "You little bastard, are you sure you don't want to talk?"

Wang Zhengjun also shouted back, "I can talk! You come in, you come in and we'll have a good talk. I'll fix your teeth for you!"

Dong Ke tried to grit his teeth, then gave up: "Okay, you little bastard, you just wait!"

After shouting, Dong Ke turned his head and said to the government army officer sitting inside, "Let's fight. They can't surrender."

The officer's deputy nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said expressionlessly, "Attack!"

An order was given!

Three seconds later, they heard a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound outside!

In the sky, a large number of rocket rounds, trailing flames, were fired towards the town!

"Rumble...!"

Large patches of fire erupted in the town, and many houses were blown to pieces by the rocket rounds. The ground was also blasted with many large craters, and dirt and flames flew everywhere.

Wang Zhengjun had retreated to the inner trenches in time. He pressed down his helmet.

"Follow the predetermined defense plan and hold the line within the defense area to counterattack," Wang Zhengjun said quickly. "Although the other side is also a rabble, we should not engage them at close range. The best way now is to delay time. Things are definitely turbulent outside as well, and many people are trying to接 us. We should not waste our strength in vain."

"Yes!" The officer next to him nodded.

"Put all our medium- and long-range firepower on them!! Don't let them get close." Wang Zhengjun knew the troops he commanded very well: "Once we can't hold the gaps, the five thousand men will disintegrate in minutes. There definitely aren't many people who are really willing to risk their lives." Da Feng Novel

"Understood!"

Two or three minutes later, the medium- and long-range firepower was pulled to the front and began to counterattack in layers.

Cannons roared, and before long, the opponent's attack area was also a sea of fire!

Having fought to this point, neither side had a way to retreat, and a large-scale armed conflict was still inevitable.

...

Panama City, war room.

Hou Guoyu received a phone call. He immediately turned around and said to Su Tianyu, who was sitting next to him, "Report! The Wang family's armed camp has already started fighting!"

Su Tianyu nodded with a solemn expression: "The Blackwater Legion is preparing to airdrop, landing on the periphery of the enemy government troops."

...

Saint Paul City, slum.

The war outside the city had already begun, and the slums here were also filled with fire.

A dozen grenades were thrown into the crowd, directly blowing these gang members into pieces.

"Boom, boom...!"

Corpses and body parts were scattered everywhere. The remaining gang members reacted and fled in all directions, because they didn't know how many people were ambushing them.

Taking the opportunity, Qiu Ge and the others, pressing down on Imre, rushed out of the encirclement and ran directly to the several armed pickup trucks parked at the street corner.

"Get in the car!!" Qiu Ge waved and shouted, "Use their car to push out!! Hang Imre up!! Hang him in the most conspicuous position! Hurry!"

Outside.

The pickup team, divided into four groups, had quickly approached the conflict zone.

Qiu Ge gritted his teeth and tightened the wound around his waist, squatted down, set up the machine gun on the pickup truck, and roared directly at Imre's cheek next to him, "Shout!! Shout to them! Tell them to retreat!!"
