Chapter 1026 The Retreat Route

Eight ten in the morning, old Mo border, thousands of miles of retreat route.

Zhou Tonghui was sitting in the car, calling Kong Zhenghui: "I am at the border now, and I am about to enter the old Mo area."

Kong Zhenghui asked again: "Have you arrived there? Is it safe? The Xinlai area of ​​old Mo and the Guada area are all at war, a complete mess. Do you have to detour?"

Hearing the other party's question, Zhou Tonghui didn't think much about it and said casually, "This matter is not my responsibility. I don't know how the evacuation route is planned. I'll just follow the main force."

"Okay, then pay more attention to safety."

"Yeah..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tonghui was still very worried about the other party's safety, and couldn't help urging, "Old Kong, listen to me, leave quickly! The Dragon City is not safe now. Staying for another second is life-threatening. In case something really happens, and you're trapped inside, it'll be too late! Especially with spies everywhere, making people panic. For safety, we've started collecting mobile phones here."

Kong Zhenghui said, "I know, I'll leave as soon as I get in touch with the mercenaries. Let's meet in Bana City."

After saying what he needed to say, Zhou Tonghui had no choice but to say, "Okay, then that's it for now. My phone may not be reachable later, so you must be extra careful. I'll contact you after I get to Bana City."

"Okay, hang up."

The two then hung up the phone.

Zhou Tonghui sighed softly, suppressed the worry in his heart, and looked around.

There were many military vehicles parked by the edge of a mountain.

In addition to these military vehicles, many family members were also resting at this time. These people were better dressed, all family members of high-ranking officers in the army.

Protecting these family members was Su Tianbei's independent regiment. About an hour ago, this escort force was detouring on the march line and happened to meet Zhou Tonghui and the others.

Seeing that Su Tianbei was leading the team, and that they were protecting the family members of high-ranking officers, Zhou Tonghui felt safer, so he took the initiative to communicate.

Su Tianbei found that Zhou Tonghui was walking with Wen Xiaorou, and was also worried about their safety, so he used a little privilege to successfully incorporate them into his team.

After finishing the remaining food in a few bites, Zhou Tonghui turned off his phone, left the car, and walked forward.

In a military vehicle not far ahead, Su Tianbei, with chapped lips, was smoking a cigarette.

"Tianbei!"

Zhou Tonghui walked over, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to him, saying, "Here you go."

Su Tianbei smiled, didn't refuse, took the phone, and put it in the glove compartment.

This trip was to protect very important family members of high-ranking officials, so nothing could go wrong. Therefore, all accompanying personnel along the way were searched and checked.

No one was allowed to carry communication equipment privately, including all soldiers, who could only use the military's encrypted communicators to contact each other.

Not only that, there were separate reconnaissance sentries in the front, back, left, and right of this force to scout the way.

Su Tianbei gave Zhou Tonghui a cigarette and asked casually, "Who were you calling just now?"

Zhou Tonghui lit the cigarette and explained, "Old Kong, he's still in Dragon City, hasn't left yet."

Su Tianbei was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "His personality... shouldn't he leave first? Why is he still in Dragon City?"

Zhou Tonghui waved his hand: "He thinks there are too many people, and it's not safe to leave together. He insists on contacting a mercenary group to pick him up in Dragon City, and his family will take a helicopter to Bana City. Judging by the time, they should be leaving soon."

Hearing this, Su Tianbei didn't think much about it, just sighed, "This old Kong is always different from others."

"He's just too cautious." Zhou Tonghui said, suddenly sighing, "Alas, it's not easy for him... especially since Gu Baisun came out and became the deputy mayor again, it's even harder for him."

Su Tianbei smoked silently, without saying a word.

Zhou Tonghui reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you're busy, I'm going back."

Su Tianbei nodded, watching Zhou Tonghui walk back to his car.

...

After resting for about ten minutes, Su Tianbei returned to the command vehicle next to him, summoned the deputy commander, the regimental staff, and others, and began to formulate the next evacuation route.

Su Tianbei opened the combat instrument, pointed to the map and said, "The people we are escorting are too important. So, from now on, we can no longer continue to take the conventional route, we can only go from the side. Look, several large battlefields in the old Mo area... like here, here, and here. Especially Guado, they are all necessary routes to Bana City, but considering safety issues, we can only detour for now. I just studied it with Lao Lu, and decided to get closer to the coastline, start from here, and go around."

Regimental staff officer Lu Yan was also as steady as an old dog, and nodded: "Yes, although it's a bit of a detour, it's safer this way. I agree with taking this route."

"Okay, time is not an issue now, safety first."

"Let the reconnaissance second company go first to scout the way for us."

Everyone agreed and worked out some details at the same time.

The people here were basically senior officers who were transferred from Xin Xiaodong through Su Tianyu's introduction. Whether it was formulating tactics or planning strategies, they were all experts.

Especially Lu Yan, who was a shrewd person, had helped Su Tianbei a lot before and after the establishment of the independent regiment, and was deeply trusted by him.

After discussing with them, Su Tianbei waved his hand and said, "Okay, notify the accompanying troops to assemble, and quickly enter the rainforest area leading to the old Mo area, and rest here first. After nightfall, the entire army will set off and march according to the predetermined route!"

"Yes!"

The officers saluted and quickly went to carry out their tasks.

Because Su Tianbei's independent regiment had more than two thousand soldiers, plus a huge family force, the target was very large. Considering safety, they decided to hide first, and then continue to set off under the cover of night.

In short, everything was for safety.

The entire army, carrying their families, came to a rainforest at the foot of the mountain and temporarily hid.

...

The sun slowly set, and darkness gradually fell.

With Su Tianbei's order, the entire army set off, covering the high-ranking cadres and their families, and began to enter the old Mo area under the cover of night.

When approaching the border line, there was a burst of fierce gunfire all around.

Su Tianbei sat in the command vehicle, glanced at the direction of the gunfire, and couldn't help sighing, "The fighting is quite lively here in old Mo... Lao Lu, tell the reconnaissance second and third companies to pay attention, and don't let the main force get close to the war zone."

"Understood."

...

At the same time, on the other side of the rolling mountains, the sound of gunfire and artillery continued to ring, and the Blackwater Legion was launching an attack on the garrison forces in the Xinlai area.

In a military tent, Gilman looked at the map in front of him, turned his head and shouted to his adjutant, "Notify, launch a general attack on Highland 302 and quickly take it down!"
