Chapter 167 Checkpoint

A lieutenant colonel officer of the Hanoi garrison looked at the person in front of him in astonishment. "What did you say?!"

"I don't have time to waste with you!" The Chinese commander stepped aside and shouted at the off-road vehicle behind him, "Smash it!!"

"What are you trying to do?!" the officer asked in disbelief. "I've already contacted the higher-ups...!"

"I don't need you anymore!" The Chinese commander urged, "Are you deaf? Smash it!"

"Weng!"

The engine of the off-road vehicle roared, and the commander's vehicle charged forward at top speed, smashing through the roadblock.

The Chinese chief of staff was also a little stunned at the sight, but he didn't stop it.

"You have two choices now. First, you let me pass, and we'll take responsibility. Second, we'll have a battle right here!" The Chinese commander pointed at the lieutenant colonel officer, then immediately yanked open his car door, got in, and shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Get through the post, quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty military vehicles behind him all moved and lined up to drive forward.

"Whirr!"

All the soldiers at the checkpoint raised their guns, but the Chinese commander ignored them, waving his hand and urging, "Drive faster, get through!"

The lieutenant colonel officer stepped forward with his gun, blocking the passenger side of the off-road vehicle, and roared, staring, "What do you want to do?!"

"Fucking your mother, what do you want to do?!" The Chinese commander angrily snatched the driver's gun and pointed it at the officer's head, roaring, "I'm telling you clearly!! I'm already prepared to face a military court, but are you prepared to fight a whole regiment?!"

The officer was stunned.

"Get lost if you know what's good for you!" The Chinese commander pushed the officer away with the gun pointed at his head, then immediately shouted to the chief of staff, "Bring in the helicopters too, quickly!"

Thirty seconds later, more than twenty military vehicles smashed through three checkpoint barriers in succession, and drove through under the gaze of more than sixty local soldiers.

In the car, the chief of staff looked at the commander and asked, "Are you crazy? This isn't a small matter!"

"Commander Xiang just called me personally! He told me to figure out a way myself, and to get through no matter what." The commander gritted his teeth and replied, "Isn't that hint obvious enough? What can I do?! They said they need an order from the headquarters to let us through, so I'll just lead the troops to storm the post! Fucking hell, which is worse, facing a military court or not fully understanding the orders from above?! I'm going all in! A man only dies once, so I'm betting that tonight is an opportunity!"

The chief of staff gritted his teeth. "You're right! No holding back! Let's just bring in the heavy firepower! If we're going to gamble, let's gamble big!"

...

Second floor of the Dongsheng Express Building.

Su Tianyu helped Jiang Zhou stop the bleeding. "It's okay, it's not a deep stab!"

Jiang Zhou wiped the sweat from his face and looked up at his assistant. "Did they get through the post?"

"They did, and the helicopters are on their way too!"

"...Damn it!" Jiang Zhou got up from the ground, supporting himself. "Don't let the helicopters show themselves first, or the people in the courtyard will know something's wrong and run away! Let the ground support arrive first, and the helicopters can clean up!"

"Understood!" the assistant nodded.

Jiang Zhou looked at Su Tianyu. "Call the men, get ready to charge out!"

"You got it!" Su Tianyu immediately responded.

About five minutes later, military vehicles lined up and stopped on the street less than a kilometer away from Dongsheng Express.

After getting out of the car, the commander immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Don't drive the vehicles any further, everyone run to the target location! First, second, and third battalions, block all exits of Dongsheng Express according to the plan! All commanders, remember, do not open fire on the streets, but in the courtyard, as long as you identify the other party as a bandit, shoot them!"

"Yes!"

"Second Battalion received!"

"..."

"Advance at a run, quickly!" The commander shouted into the walkie-talkie, and even personally took up a gun and led the guard company towards the main entrance of Dongsheng Express.

...

The soldiers of the three battalions arrived at the periphery of Dongsheng Express in less than two minutes.

"Signal flares, quickly!" The commander waved his hand and shouted.

"Bang!"

The guard company commander took out a signal gun and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

The brilliant light ascended into the sky, and Su Tianyu in the main building of Dongsheng Express immediately turned his head and asked, "Are they here?!"

"They're here!!" Jiang Zhou perked up, strode to the window, looked up at the crowd in the courtyard, and immediately roared, "Fucking hell, it's time for revenge! That guy in the white shirt is shouting the loudest in the courtyard! Get him!"

"Whirr!"

Hou Guoyu very perceptively opened the window, and Jiang Zhou took off his blood-covered helmet, the first to climb onto the windowsill and jump out.

Outside the window was the roof of the warehouse. Jiang Zhou ran clumsily in the front, and turned his head to see Li Tai Dong constantly shouting in the courtyard.

"Tap tap tap...!"

Su Tianyu and the others rushed out of the window, carrying various weapons, following behind Jiang Zhou.

"That one, block that one for me!" Jiang Zhou pointed at Li Tai Dong through gritted teeth, and in his eagerness, jumped from the roof of the two-story warehouse.

"Thump!"

With a muffled sound, Jiang Zhou fell on a pile of sacks, rolled to the ground, and pounced on Li Tai Dong with a gouged leg knife.

At the main entrance.

The regimental commander from Yan Island arrived with a guard company, and seeing the chaotic scene in the courtyard, the fire, and the arrogant rioters throwing Molotov cocktails at the main building, he immediately jumped and roared, "Set up the mortars, fire into the distance! Guard company, charge!!"

"Doo doo doo doo...!"

As the order was issued, the long-lost bugle call of the Chinese Legion rang out!!

Since 1943, this bugle call, except for performances, had never had the opportunity to resound in the East Asia region!

In the courtyard, Li Tai Dong and the others were stunned when they heard the bugle call, completely unaware of what was happening outside!

"Tap tap...!"

Rapid footsteps sounded, and dozens of soldiers rushed into the courtyard, firing in formation.

Li Tai Dong's eyes widened when he saw their military-style uniforms!

"Buzz buzz!"

The sound of helicopters circling in the sky reverberated, and five armed helicopters sealed off the surrounding area!

"Run, run!!"

Li Tai Dong turned around and ran towards the back door, shouting as he ran, "Stop fighting, retreat!"

"You want to run after hitting me!!"

Jiang Zhou, carrying the gouged leg knife, caught up with Li Tai Dong and the others in two steps, and slashed down two people!

On the side of the courtyard, the soldiers of the first battalion, who had just arrived at the outside of the fence, all raised their guns and shouted, "Chinese People's Army!! Surrender with your guns!!"

Li Tai Dong stopped in his tracks when he saw the crowd outside, wanting to change direction and continue running.

"Bang!"

Su Tianyu rushed over and smashed a pitchfork on the back of his head.

"Thump!"

Li Tai Dong fell to the ground. Before he could recover, Jiang Zhou stepped on his chest. "You're quite the big shot! The bugle call that hasn't been heard in the Chinese district for nearly thirty years, you made it ring!"
