Catastrophe

At 8:30, the sun had risen very high, Ning Zhe took a short rest for a few hours, got up and washed his face with cold water, then left the tent and met Hu Yihan.

The six battalions preparing to attack the Dongshan Mountains have been assembled. Although the 1,800 soldiers are not in a neat line, the fighting over the past few days has left them with a lingering murderous aura.

Seeing Ning Zhe's appearance, Hu Yihan said to him, "I've just finished the lecture, we can start now, Dongshanling is 40 kilometers away from our side, and the troops marched quickly, they should be able to reach Dongshanling at noon. They will attack Dongshanling from the west, south and north respectively. That is to say, during the early march, we can start together. When we reach the Dongshanling area, it will be too late to separate. I have already let Lin Bao Take people to set off first, and go to Dongshan Ridge for investigation."

"In that case, let's go straight."

What Ning Zhe is most worried about now is Li Lin, who is defending the Xingge Desert. They have only 600 people at full capacity, and the support troops will not be able to arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest. be able to reach the close combat line.

Although Hu Yihan had dispatched two regiments to outflank the bandit gang from the rear, the progress was still slow and it was difficult to catch up with the bandit gang.

For this purpose, Ning Zhe wanted to ensure Li Lin's safety. Only by launching an attack on the old nest of the Hedong Bandit Gang as soon as possible was the only way to force the large army of the Bandit Gang to return to the defense and relieve the pressure on Li Lin's side.

...

On the other side, after Qu Ding ended the call with Xiangkuan, he led a dozen of his confidants to return to Dongshanling immediately and met with Xiangkuan.

In the Juyi Hall, Xiang Kuan saw that Qu Ding's right arm was wrapped in a bandage and hung in front of his chest, with blood oozing out. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"It's no big deal. I came back on a motorcycle. I met quicksand on the road and the car overturned." Qu Ding explained the reason for his injury and continued: "Brother, I received news from the spies on the way back. After the Starlight Armed Forces passed through the Kujiao Canyon, they have already started to march towards the Dongshan Ridge. For the sake of safety, I suggest that you retreat first, and I will hurry back to protect you from leaving here."

Xiangkuan is a person who has experienced major battles. Even though the front line has been defeated, he is still not very nervous: "This is not urgent, the traffic in the Kujiao Canyon is inconvenient, and it is difficult for their mechanical troops to drive over. Only through infantry, It is also difficult to get here in a short period of time.”

His actions made Qu Ding's emotions more complicated. From Qu Ding's point of view, Xiang Kuan's attitude at this time was interesting.

First, he chose to resist the Starlight Armament at all costs, and now he is so indifferent to the defeat of the front line. The various performances of Xiangkuan make Qu Ding feel that his heart is no longer on the Hedong Gang.

Xiangkuan didn't know what Qu Ding was thinking, so he said, "I talked to Yunxi on the phone in the morning. If there is no accident, she can go back to Dongshanling in the afternoon."

Qu Ding raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression became a little serious: "Yunxi is coming back?"

"Yeah!" Xiang Kuan sighed: "Yunxi left the Hedong Gang this time to find food for the brothers in the gang, but he didn't expect that in just ten days, the Hedong Gang had undergone great changes. One question I've been thinking about lately is our relationship with the chaebols.

The Hedong Gang has developed for many years and has become the largest bandit gang in the Hedong area. In its heyday, there were thousands of bandits. In this place in Hedong, we responded a hundred times and had no rivals. I was also in high spirits back then, but this time a famine, But it made me see myself and the Hedong Gang clearly.

I found that no matter how hard we try to develop, we cannot control our own destiny. As long as the chaebols tighten their hands a little bit, we will become a lonely army, and the fate of thousands of people is in their hands. "

"Brother, hasn't this place in Lingnan always been like this?" Qu Ding didn't understand why Xiang Kuan suddenly became so melancholy, and then responded, "This place in Lingnan doesn't have the ability to engage in production and planting. If the bandits want to survive, they can We can only choose to cooperate with the chaebols. This is how everyone came here. Tougher than us."

"Yeah, this place has always been like this." Xiang Kuan showed a wry smile, and then took out an envelope in his arms and handed it to Qu Ding: "I know, for my whole gang to fight against the Starlight Armed this time, You all don't understand, since I have this opportunity, I can just chat with you."

Qu Ding took the envelope handed by Xiang Kuan and asked curiously, "Brother, what is this?"

"This is..."

"boom!"

After waiting for Xiangkuan to finish speaking, there was a sudden gunshot outside, followed by the sound of dense gunfire, and then a bandit rushed into the Juyi Hall: "The big boss, the second boss, it's not good! The Starlight Armed team has hit the mountain!"

"What did you say?!" Qu Ding abruptly got up from his chair: "The spies on our side~www.readwn.com~ didn't say that their army was only halfway gone?"

The bandit responded with a short breath: "It's not the large gang of gangs who came up the mountain, but a small group of reconnaissance troops. After they were discovered by our sentinels, the two sides fought. There were not many people on the other side, but the equipment was very good. Advanced, and I don’t know when it infiltrated, occupying a lot of favorable positions, and is currently launching a fierce attack on this side!”

"Notify the troops and prepare to go to the back mountain!" Qu Ding finished speaking and said to Xiang Kuan: "Brother, this group of attackers can touch the front mountain, and they have avoided the organs and secret posts we set up, and the Juyi Hall This is an open area, and the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so we have to go to the back mountain immediately, in this case, whether it is counterattack or defense, there are more options!"

"Listen to you!" Xiang Kuan picked up the two pistols on the table, walked quickly to the door, and waved to his personal guard: "The enemy's troops have attacked the mountain, let the brothers move to the back mountain. , set up an ambush at the mountain pass and lead these people to swallow it!"

"clear!"

When a group of bandits heard the words, they all surrounded Xiang Kuan and began to protect him moving towards the back mountain. Qu Ding also took his men and began to protect him on the periphery.
