Chapter 1051 Pre-War Gathering
Four days later, Saint Paul, the southern district.
In these four days, Xin Xiaodong led the Third Division, the Blackwater Legion, and the troops of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau to launch continuous attacks on the southern district. They launched twelve consecutive attacks in one day, regardless of the time, day or night. Sometimes, they had to go out for a round of fighting right after finishing a meal.
Not only that, but Xin Xiaodong even pretended to launch three general offensives. The three troops, with more than 30,000 people combined, sounded the charge every time. Divided into combat units at the company level, they surged into the city like a tide. In a very short time, they could create an offensive momentum, really giving the impression of a final decisive battle.
Even relying on street fighting tactics, if Xin Xiaodong really risked everything and launched a general offensive, it would be very difficult for the other side. Relying solely on the soldiers hiding in the buildings would not be able to stop such an offensive. Those soldiers who were resting would also be forced to pick up their guns and hold the line together.
This irregular offensive method kept the defenders of Saint Paul mentally tense at all times. They dared not rotate, dared not rest, because they might have to face the Third Division's general offensive at any time. The main force had to be pinned on the line, otherwise it would be too late.
Many Saint Paul soldiers could only steal a nap in abandoned buildings in these few days. This defensive pressure made the Saint Paul defenders extremely mentally exhausted, and the Third Division was also very tired. This war was not only a physical battle, but also a mental confrontation.
Xin Xiaodong held his breath and continued to wear down the city defense army with this fatigue tactic.
…
Bana City, conference room.
After another whole day, everyone finally discussed all the tactical arrangements they could think of and formulated the final plan.
After the meeting, Su Tianyu called out to Yu Mingyuan, who was about to leave, "Mingyuan!"
Yu Mingyuan stopped and turned to look at Su Tianyu, "What's up?"
"We're going to take action tomorrow night," Su Tianyu suggested, "Shall we go see the garrison?"
"Sure." Yu Mingyuan agreed without even thinking, "It's time to take a look... I'll call Qi Qi and the others too."
"Okay, I'll call my brother and them." Su Tianyu laughed, "Let's have a good get-together tonight."
After speaking, the two set off to call people. Not only did they have this idea, but at the same time, in Jiangzhou, Wu Han, along with Wang Xiao, and more than a thousand elite armed men from the Wang family, also went to the temporary garrison for special operations.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening, at the temporary garrison for special operations.
Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, An Qi Qi, Da Bai, Su Tiannan, Su Tianbei, and others were about to walk inside when an An family officer happened to walk out of the garrison and ran into them head-on.
"Leaders are here!" The officer immediately saluted them.
Yu Mingyuan nodded to the officer, then turned and patted Su Tianyu's shoulder, "Xiaoyu, you guys talk first. Qi Qi and I are going to find our people for a separate get-together."
Su Tianyu thought for a moment, then said, "What's the point of a separate get-together? Our families and your families aren't strangers. I've arranged everything on my side, let's eat together."
"Yeah, let's be together, it'll be lively!" Da Bai said with his hands behind his back.
Yu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
After deciding, the two groups separated. Su Tianyu went into the garrison to call a few more people before taking them to the restaurant's private room.
In Jiangzhou, Wu Han, Wang Xiao, and Wang Zheng, along with some of the Wang family's private armed forces generals, had already gone to another place for a gathering. Su Tianyu thought about it and decided not to disturb them.
…
Special mission garrison.
The restaurant was near the Blackwater Legion headquarters, usually used to receive military VIPs. At this time, many Blackwater Legion soldiers were stationed at the entrance.
Su Tianyu and Da Bai and the others walked over, talking and laughing, heading to the banquet private room.
When everyone pushed open the door, several tables were already occupied. Hou Guoyu, Lao Hei, Jin Maohui, Sun Wei, Da Xiong, Bo Ang, and Lao Wei were all there, as well as some generals from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, the National United Bureau, and the Blackwater Legion.
Xin Xiaodong was not there, he still had to command the war on the front line.
Everyone was drinking and chatting, the atmosphere was very warm, as lively as the New Year.
Seeing Su Tianyu coming in, Lao Hei stopped bragging to Hou Guoyu and turned his head with a smile to tease, "The leader is here, what mission are you going to assign us?"
Su Tianyu laughed, "Don't talk nonsense, we won't talk about work today, everyone is just eating and chatting!"
Saying that, everyone sat at Hou Guoyu's table. Da Bai clapped his hands, and immediately a row of waiters walked over, each pushing a small cart filled with wine.
"I pried open my little darling's wine cabinet." Da Bai directly picked up a bottle of baijiu (white liquor) and placed it on the table, "Come on, cheers."
Su Tiannan, who had just arrived, jokingly said with a smile, "Empress Bai, you've moved your wife's private collection, isn't she going to be mad at you?"
"I'm so tired every day, can't I take some wages?"
"You are tired." Su Tianyu couldn't help but tease, "I guess when Da Bai goes back tonight, all ten of his fingers will spark."
"Damn! What do you know!" Da Bai's face flushed, and he had to argue for his family status.
After a few words of joking, Su Tianyu clapped his hands and interjected, "By the way, people from the An family will come over later. Tonight, it can be said that everyone is gathered."
Not long after, An Qi Qi, Yu Mingyuan, Liu Hongxu, Zhou Tonghui, plus several generals from the An family pushed the door open and walked in.
"Come, come, sit here!" Su Tianyu immediately greeted them, letting several familiar people sit at their table.
Seeing so many acquaintances, Yu Mingyuan said with a smile, "It's really lively today, everyone's really here."
"Isn't it!" Da Bai raised his glass, "It's just that Lao Kong is missing, and the five dragons of The Dragon City Rises (风起龙城) who dominated the world would be all here."
Everyone smiled. Su Tianyu looked at Yu Mingyuan and asked, "What's Lao Kong doing? Why haven't I seen him for so long?"
Yu Mingyuan casually replied, "His dad is sick, he went back to take care of him."
"Damn!" Da Bai curled his lips, "His dad gets sick at crucial moments, more accurate than a fortune teller."
"Hey, that's just his personality." Yu Mingyuan also raised his glass, "Brothers, let's start with one?"
"Let's start with one!"
Everyone raised their glasses together, took a sip of baijiu, and very smoothly avoided the topic of Lao Kong.
"By the way, there are a few more friends coming later." After putting down his glass, Su Tianyu said with a smile.
"Who?" Yu Mingyuan was asking when the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open and more than a dozen people walked in.
"Oh, they're here." Su Tianyu got up to greet them…
