On 8 July, because the City of Hope withheld a batch of materials that should have been given to Qingzhou for no reason, the Qingzhou military sent people to make strong representations, but the meaning of the words was condemnation and naked greed, not only demanding that the City of Hope immediately return the withheld materials double, and compensate a certain amount of evolution fluid as compensation, otherwise the Qingzhou military would not hesitate to use force to protect its dignity and interests from loss.

Xiahou Xin and Quan Baisong were the mainstays, supplemented by Zhang Zhiheng, Miao Xiaosheng, Zeng Lijun, and Zhou Ming, and categorically rejected the domineering and unreasonable request of the Qingzhou side.

After some discussion, the City of Hope fortunately also prepared, all war mobilization was also launched immediately, the City of Hope was armed with 20,000 people, including the garrison army and the colleges and instructors of major schools, and the City of Hope was not afraid of war.

On 9 July, Hua Shaojin urgently reported back the military situation, and six infantry regiments and one artillery regiment on the Qingzhou side were ready to be deployed, totaling 20,000 people, all of whom were fully armed and sophisticated troops.

On 11 July, the more urgent news was that Fenglin Base City had also sent 10,000 troops, and Zhao Bingzhi of Yangcheng received support from Qingzhou, and also gathered 10,000 men, a total of 40,000 people, to advance to the City of Hope in an oval from the north, northeast, and east.

The City of Hope also responded immediately, in order not to affect the crops near the City of Hope, the entire Army of Hope pulled out a defense line thirty kilometers away, and three field regiments also entered the position, Zeng Lijun against Qingzhou, Zhang Zhiheng against Fenglin, and Miao Xiaosheng against Yangcheng.

On 13 July, the two sides formally confronted each other 30 kilometers east of the City of Hope, digging deep trenches, barbed wire, pillboxes, machine-gun positions, mines, and so on.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

On 15 July, at the headquarters of the outer position of Little Rock, a group of people were busy around a sand table comparing the electronic map on the temporary large screen, and a man in a cloak lifted the army-green curtain blocking the big tent, and as soon as he entered the room, he said: "Correspondent, has the telephone line been connected?" ”

A second lieutenant with a headset stood up and saluted and reported, "It's connected to the temporary headquarters and heavy artillery battalion in Little Rock, but the City of Hope hasn't been connected yet, and the phone squad is working overtime to lay the wires." ”

Zhang Zhiheng picked up a kettle on the table who didn't know who it was, checked it, and felt that there were still a lot, so he unscrewed it and drank it directly.

"Fuck, or juice, who's?" After taking a big sip of comfortably, he returned the kettle to the owner, walked to the command map and said: "Then hurry up, this posture, both sides are working overtime to prepare, when will it start, you have to hurry up, tell the telephone class, the telephone line is buried solid, this damn world, how can good wireless and electronic communication not be used!" ”

The sand table approached several staff officers in front of him and said, "Regiment commander, have you returned from inspecting the camp?" How's the camp outside? ”

"With the help of the people, the reinforced concrete here is also a strong use, I am not worried about the construction of the position, Xiao Zhenwu of the straight thief, what kind of troubled water is his Fenglin base city, according to the intelligence of the reconnaissance battalion, although there are only more than 10,000 people in his Fenglin base city, but there is a standing army of 30,000 people, our regiment is not facing more than 10,000 people, but nearly 50,000 people, a steady stream of soldiers to replenish ah, this battle is not easy to fight. I went to the position and walked around, the opposite side was densely packed with people, even if we finished playing in the City of Hope this time, what could he Xiao Zhenwu get? What kind of strength is it to sell? ”

"Alas~ Commander, we just have to fight, kill it, this dog's world, these human beings with crooked thoughts are more hateful than zombies, and they will be stabbed in the back, if Lord Zongxian is here, who of them dares to come? Don't you all do business honestly, only the City of Hope is my home in these years, a lot, die early and cross early! A captain and staff officer said with an open posture.

"It's also crossed, you can be reincarnated directly to be a pig." Zhang Zhiheng scolded with a smile: "But what Xiao Qi said is right, this City of Hope is the belongings of our Hope Army, it is our root, and we must save it desperately, no matter how ferocious the enemy is, we will do it now, when will we die, when will it be over." ”

After talking a lot of nonsense (Baidu search book title + Dream Thief to see the fastest update) for a long time, Zhang Zhiheng started the military exercise, and until the evening, there was still no movement on the other side.

"This day seems to have stopped again, let's go, let's go and see what good things the logistics department has sent us, the Fan Fat Northeast dishes in the cooking class are delicious enough." Zhang Zhiheng took the adjutant and the chief of staff to take the lead out of the camp tent, and walked to a place with few people, and the chief of staff said in a low voice: "What to do with the envoy from Qingzhou." ”

"I've been here several times, I mean they are also Menqing, send them back, although I, Zhang Zhiheng, am not a foolish and loyal person, but I also have some integrity, tell Qingzhou, don't fucking fool me, Chu Heng will not die for a day, even if I Zhang Zhiheng is tied up in the City of Hope, it will be you."

Zhang Zhiheng said with some melancholy: "Let go of the fight, don't keep your hands, the harder you fight, the more you will be used when you surrender." ”

"Captain! What do you say, am I Tong Xiang that kind of person, once the matter is irreparable, I will just die. The chief of staff patted his chest and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, do your best, if Chu Heng still doesn't show up when the sky falls, you will take the remaining group of brothers, run out if you can, surrender if you can, tie up my body to make a vote, how can Qingzhou not be difficult for these brothers, they are all dead for the rest of their lives, and they can't fall together with the City of Hope."

"Captain!"

"Don't be a little daughter, born in this troubled world, you must have your own persistence!" Zhang Zhiheng patted the shoulder of Chief of Staff Tong Xiang (Baidu search "Dream Thief" to see the latest chapter) and said: "Lao Tong, there are not a few classmates left between you and me in the same period, and I can't remove the imprint of Chu Heng's lineage, but you are different, listen to me, at the last moment, it will be lowered, save the lives of these brothers who get along day and night." ”

I, Zhang Zhiheng, am not like Zhou Ming's brotherly mentality towards Chu Heng, nor is it Xiahou Xin's deep mind like a pool of water, nor is it like Zeng Lijun's foolish and loyal man, but as a person, what do you insist on in general.

As for Miao Xiaosheng, hmph, when people with clear eyes are blind, if you want to be a second or fifth boy, with Xiahou Xin's means, how can you get benefits!
