Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1652 The Battle Begins

9:50am.

The scouts in the direction of the pier found two speedboats rushing to the shore. After the warning was invalid, the drones began to shoot, knocking out the engine of one speedboat, and the other went ashore directly. A reconnaissance team of 14 people successfully landed.

10 o'clock in the morning.

The two sides officially fought, the enemy reconnaissance team occupied the pier at the cost of one person's death, and destroyed a drone. Our side had no casualties and withdrew from the pier defense line.

10:30 am.

Two speedboats landed, a total of 20 people, 10 people in each group, with the wharf as the command center, and stood still, probably planning how to go deep into the central area of ​​the inner island.

11 o'clock in the morning.

Initiate the first round of attack, a group of 3 people, march towards the central area from three directions.Except one group disappeared in the monitoring, the other two teams were all captured.

12 noon sharp.

The remaining 24 people set off in two teams and began to move closer to the central area, destroying all monitoring equipment along the way. At the second line of defense we set up, they exchanged fire with one of the 12-man teams.The enemy lost two people and three of us. Arthur didn't want to cause too many casualties, so he ordered the fighters to withdraw.

Arthur looked at the monitoring equipment and reported to me: "A total of 34 people from the enemy have landed, 3 people have been killed, 6 people have been captured, and 3 people are missing. A team of 12 people is heading to the central area, and another team of 10 people The establishment is moving from another direction, and there are currently 22 people plus 3 missing, and 25 people are on the island."

I hummed and said: "Before entering the central area, let the opponent's number be halved!"

13 p.m. exactly.

The enemy's 12-man team appeared at the border of the central area, and the two sides exchanged fire again. With the advantage of our fire suppression, they could not enter the central area, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

14:30pm.

The enemy's 10-man team appeared to outflank reinforcements. We lost the enemy and lost two people. The enemy lost two people.

15:50pm.

Another team has reached 3 kilometers away from the Du Mansion, only 3 blocks away.

Arthur looked at me and asked, "Do you still want to let them come over? If you let them go, they will be at the door!"

I smiled and said: "The street fighting starts, it's our advantage, let your soldiers cooperate with Liu Yidao's Hongmen disciples, and defeat them one by one!"

Arthur looked at me puzzled and said, "They are a group, and they are not scattered. It is difficult for us to break them one by one!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said, "You won't break them up! In this kind of alley, it's hard for 10 people to pass together!"

Arthur immediately nodded and arranged: "A team of 4 people, 3 soldiers and a Hongmen disciple, attack from different directions!"

The people were dispersed, the first group of 10 people captured 6 people, killed 4 people, and the whole army was wiped out.

17 p.m. exactly.

The enemy's second team never showed up. Since the rear monitors were all destroyed, their location could not be determined, which brought us many hidden dangers.

Arthur looked relaxed: "Is that all their strength is? Now the entrances and exits of the streets in the central area are all our people. They have no chance to come in. If they attack by force, they will die!"

I shook my head and said, "It's not that simple! They are not fools either. They should have known these problems before going to the island. They should also be very familiar with the island's topography, and they should be able to accurately track down every line. The street, even the underground... No, immediately look at the entrance of the Central District, if there is an underground passage!"

Arthur was shocked and said: "Yeah, how could I forget this!"

I called Gouzi and said: "Take a few people and search along the underground passage in the central area. Once you find the target, don't exchange fire and report it immediately!"

Gouzi took the lead.

19 pm.

Gouzi sent a message that all 13 people were underground, and 4 Gouzi were killed, and Gouzi was still following them underground. They didn't seem to be heading for Du's house.

Arthur immediately ordered: "The position of the team on the ground remains the same, guard every corner and end of the street, and send another 2 teams, each with 10 people, to search underground!"

I frowned and asked, "How many people can you use now?"

Arthur said confidently: "There are still two whole teams on standby!"

I thought for a while and said: "As for the original deployment, we must not mess it up. Find someone to restore all the damaged monitoring equipment as soon as possible. In addition, the seaside must strengthen security to prevent anyone from landing again!"

21:30pm.

Gouzi came up and reported to me: "It turns out that there is no direct underground passage to the Du Mansion. They have to go around a long circle to reach the nearest block from here. When they were tracking, they found out that they left 3 people to stop us. They were arrested by us, and their destination was known only after being interrogated! The other 10 people can appear on a certain street in the Central District at any time, and they can only reach the Du Mansion from above!"

I hummed, looked at my watch and said, "They don't have much time. If only these 10 people want to rush to Du's mansion, I think the possibility is almost zero!"

Then I thought about it again, felt that there was a problem, and asked Arthur again: "Are you sure they only logged in this multiplayer?"

Arthur said with certainty: "Yes! Their speedboat is still on the shore! No one else has landed!"

I was very confused and said: "It shouldn't be! If they only have this fighting power, they should have expected that they would not succeed!"

Arthur said confidently: "Maybe they think our strength can't resist their team of 34 people?"

I shook my head and said, "If they really think so, do you think they'll make any bet with us? They're gone in the morning!"

22:30pm.

Liu Yidao ran in in a panic and said, "Outer island...they actually landed on the outer island!"

My face changed, and I scolded: "Speak slowly, why are you panicking?"

Liu Yidao gasped and said: "In the past, the Outer Island was sealed off. Isn't it open now? As long as the residents on the island can shuttle back and forth, someone told me in the afternoon that today the Outer Island There were a lot of people coming over there. I thought at the time that the station was about to open, the outer island was not safe, and people had all entered the inner island. This was normal, so I didn’t pay much attention! After the battle started, I kept thinking All the people have landed from outside the island, forgetting that they may have already landed on the island!"

I patted my forehead, and suddenly remembered that there may have been people from them on this island, no wonder Essen is so confident.

Then asked: "How many people were found in total, and where are they now?"

Liu Yidao pointed to the sand table and said: "I don't know the exact number of people. They killed the guards on the outer island, and three speedboats landed! As soon as my people approached, they were repelled. It was too late to see the number of people. Only One ran out desperately and reported to me!"

My heart sank and I said: "This is not to gamble with us, this is to catch us all!"

Arthur quickly issued an order: "The third team, after 20 minutes, must reach the boundary line between the outer island and the inner island, set up the first line of defense, destroy three speedboats at the same time, stick to the seaside, and no more ships can be allowed to land! The fourth team, set up a second line of defense at the only entrance from the central area. They must stick to it and decide not to let anyone enter the central area! The fifth team, directly enter the central area, in the fortified area on the first three streets of Du Mansion, at all costs The price is that the enemy cannot be allowed to enter the three blocks of Du Mansion!"

I sighed and said, "It may be too late. If I guessed right, their people have already entered the central area. I don't know how many people!?"

Liu Yidao said very resolutely: "No matter how many people they come, I will tell them whether to come or not!"

I waved my hand and said, "Don't kill everyone. It's not the time to be desperate. The people who called you and the dog are hiding in the dark. When they confront each other head-on, you go to make up the knife. , You are at a disadvantage! You must find out, how many of them are there in total?"

Liu Yidao and Gouzi took orders to go down.

I called Lao Zai again and said, "The battle situation in the back is more tense. You have to keep an eye on the front first. The 10 people who came in before are still underground and may come back at any time, and they may cause damage. You must be sure about these 10 people." Find a way to catch them, even kill them, they are the biggest hidden danger!"

23 pm.

The battle has reached a fever pitch, and battle reports are constantly coming in. The people who came ashore from the outer island of Houtan, plus those who were already on the island, totaled 40 people, and the first team of 10 people has arrived 3 blocks away from the Du Mansion. The distance to the Du Mansion is less than 1 kilometer, and it only takes 10 minutes to rush over. The 20 members of the second team encountered the second team of the Arthur Corps near the central area. The two sides exchanged fire and lost each other. Look, our firepower was suppressed, and soon broke through the defense line to fight with their first team. The remaining 10 of them returned to the beach and exchanged fire with Arthur's first team, fighting for control of the beach and retaking the speedboat. !
Sister Han finally went downstairs, looked at her watch and said, "It's less than an hour, they can't win, if they want to enter the Du Mansion, they have no chance!"

I shook my head and said, "Have you not seen it yet? This is no longer a matter of betting. They are serious. They are going to kill us! It has nothing to do with time. I should have thought of it a long time ago." That's it!"

Sister Han's complexion changed: "You mean they are serious?"

I hummed and said: "So far, they have lost more than 20 people. If it is a general gamble just to let me withdraw, do you think it is worth it for them? They have used almost 74 professional soldiers. , Such a loss is something they can bear, unless their purpose is not to win this bet, and to capture us alive!"

Sister Han cut her head and said, "Then they underestimated our strength too much!"

23 points.

The enemy team closest to the Du Mansion has broken out of the siege, and set up a defense line in front of the Du Mansion, and started a fight with 6 members of Arthur's personal regiment. I stood on the balcony and looked not far from the door. Suddenly, the opponent's firepower increased, and many people came up.

Seeing that this side couldn't stand it anymore, Arthur said with some despair: "Why are they getting more and more people? It shouldn't be, I heard from the report ahead that their people have been divided, and those who can get here There should be less than 10 people! If this continues, they will really enter the Du Mansion!"

I said helplessly: "Now it's not a matter of winning or losing the game, and they may die at any time. Do you think they will stop fighting when they enter the Du Mansion. As long as we admit defeat, they will withdraw?"

Arthur snorted, took out his gun and said, "I'll stop them, you guys retreat first!"

I smiled and said: "Let them occupy the Du Mansion, and we will declare that we have completely failed. I can't leave, and I can't leave, and you don't have to go down either!"

Arthur looked at me dumbfounded.

Then, the two of us saw 7 or 8 white-clothed figures appearing behind the enemy and started the massacre. I didn't even see where the people came from. One to one minute later, the gunfire disappeared. Suddenly, the battlefield fell into a dead silence, and then, the man in white suddenly disappeared again.

Arthur was stunned: "Is this the heavenly soldiers and generals? Where did they come from? Did you arrange it?"

I shrugged and said, "How can I have that ability!?"

The 24 o'clock bell rang.

The battle came to an end, and the counterattack began.

The battle lasted until 4 o'clock in the morning, and the sky began to show its fish belly. Arthur received the battle report: "All the enemy soldiers on the island were wiped out, a total of 34 people were captured, and 40 enemies were killed. Among them, 7 original residents on the island were all spies. ! Our side lost 26 people and injured 13 people."

In the early morning, I began to clean up the battlefield. I stood on the balcony and looked at the deserted streets. I couldn’t help but feel the cruelty of war. This is just a small-scale conflict. If it happens again, I think we will only have to surrender. , can never fight like this again.

I asked everyone else to rest as soon as possible, except for the alert, because I don't know if this battle is really over, or just started!

At noon, I squinted sleepily, someone knocked on the door of my room, and Shiyou standing outside said, "Liu Yidao sent someone to say that a speedboat has arrived at the pier and wants to see you! "

I hummed and said, "Let them in!"

Then he called Shiyou again and said, "Have you rested yet?"

Shiyou nodded and said, "Take a break, don't worry, I'm fine!"

I groaned and asked, "Did you see who the last men in white clothes were yesterday?"

Shiyou nodded, looked at Sister Han's room in a low voice, I understood what he meant, smiled and said: "This woman is really unfathomable, she always keeps her back!"

Shiyou nodded and said: "I think she is hiding her own strength, she is definitely a peerless master! She is not inferior to me!"

I was a little surprised and said: "So powerful? It shouldn't be!"

Shiyou hummed and said, "I didn't pay much attention to her that day, but thinking about it later, she subdued Yingzi and the mirror with only one move, and you can see how scary she is!"
