After a short exchange of fire, most of the airborne troops who arrived with Sun Wanli had fallen in pools of blood. The few remaining survivors were driven near the control tower. All transport planes and helicopters that landed on the ground were blown up, deprived of supplies and heavy weapons support, and only a dozen infantry fighting vehicles were needed to trap them alive.

New Guiyang is Su Hao's territory. He has set up extremely important and most rigorous protective measures in every corner. Airwave communications throughout the airport are blocked. The trapped troops could not call for help, let alone break out.

Sun Wanli stood on the top of the tower, and although he was far away, he could still see the armored fighting vehicles and soldiers surrounding outside. The front tank was firing all the time, and the large-caliber cannon was constantly pouring bullets. Many of their own personnel, who relied on the wreckage of the aircraft, had to abandon the positions they had occupied under the threat of strafing and had to retreat to the area around the tower. Obviously, the other side did not want to kill them all, but used bullets and shells to concentrate the remaining airborne personnel.

Sun Wanli only felt that his body was extremely stiff. A bone-chilling chill suddenly surged through his heart———— he had underestimated this mission from the beginning. No, it should be that Minister Sun didn't expect that even if the 505 Group Army left Su Hao, it still had a strong combat power that could not be ignored. They turned a blind eye to the orders of the military department and were not afraid of any form of punishment.

Minister Sun did not understand the true strength of the 505 Army at all. When looking down on the battlefield from the tower, Sun Wanli saw more than once: there were many soldiers in the besieging force who were extremely fast and reflexive. They work in tandem with each other and seem to be able to focus on two or three goals at the same time. The airborne troops counterattacked with the same intensity and strafing with the same intensity, but not a single bullet hit the target. The soldiers of the besieging troops can always detect danger in advance and hide in time for the side or back of the armored vehicle to dodge fatal bullets.

Even though Sun Wanli had just been promoted from the storekeeper to general, he could see the difference between the besieging troops and his own soldiers. He didn't understand, why were Su Hao's soldiers so strong? Could it be that all this is caused by frequent, high-intensity actual combat? Or is it something you can't detect?

If all the members of the entire 505 Army were like this, and if the dispatch center staff who were let go by themselves also had the same combat power, what would be the outcome?

The corners of Sun Wanli's eyes twitched.

He suddenly felt lucky.

If when the control center was occupied, the lieutenant colonel did not leave with everyone, and he did not verbally insult them, but clashed and fought on the spot...... As a result, it is simply unimaginable.

Just when Sun Wanli was turning countless complicated thoughts in his mind, he suddenly heard the surprised shouts of the communication soldiers behind him.

"General, communication has been restored."

Before Sun Wanli could turn around completely, the surprise in the soldier's voice had quickly turned into horror. He stared at the screen stunned for a few seconds, got up from his chair, sideways, and stammered to Sun Wanli, "Yes, I'm sorry that the communication has still not been restored." Be... It is a single guidance information contact under the state of radio wave shielding. The commander of the opposing party has asked to speak with you. We are still unable to communicate with the outside world. ”

Sun Wanli glanced at the young communications soldier lightly, and instead of reproaching, he smiled gently and took the microphone from his hand.

Gao Liquan soon appeared on the electronic screen.

Compared with when he first joined the 11th Independent Army at the end of the Hefei Campaign, he appeared more mature and more stable, and some men in this world were born suitable for joining the army. Gao Liquan belongs to this type. His complexion was darker than before, and his facial contours were as hard as granite. The tall and burly figure makes the whole person look rough, and the thick eyebrows reflect the shining eyes, exuding a special momentum of coldness and fierceness at any time. He is like a living benchmark, as long as people see it, they can clearly understand what is the cream man who is active on the movie screen? What is a predator who has experienced war?

Gao Liquan wore a brand-new brigadier uniform. His face was gloomy, but he maintained the necessary politeness: "General Sun, you seem to have come to the wrong place?" ”

Sun Wanli stared at the screen where the image had just been revealed, trying to hide his deep tsunami-like reaction.

Of course, he knew Gao Liquan. When he set off from the Xi'an base, Sun Zhan transmitted to him all the information of the new Guiyang base in the recent period. Naturally, it also includes the information of Gao Liquan and the main officers of the subordinate units.

Yes, I did come to the wrong place. I shouldn't have been here in the first place.

Sun Wanli's face did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, but his mind was full of shock and shock.

The task of controlling the 505 Army has been completely failed. Sun Wanli wondered how many times the word "shock" had appeared in his mind? From the beginning of the communication blocking, his brain has been subjected to unprecedented shocks. Every word the ears heard, every scene the eyes saw, was something that had never been thought of or expected before.

No one knows better than Sun Wanli the combat effectiveness of this airborne force under his command. All of them possess a third-order strengthened physique, and their weapons and equipment are extremely sophisticated. A few months ago, when Minister Sun transferred himself to this unit, he once said: I hope that I can make good use of this unit, win, defeat, and become stronger.

The idiom "sitting in a well and watching the sky" is well said. The winners and losers are compared.

But Sun Wanli never dreamed that the army that he thought was the strongest in his mind would collapse in front of the guardians of the new Guiyang base.

"High ...... General Gao, first of all, I want to make a statement: I have no intention of offending you or your troops. I also have great respect for General Su Hao himself. I'm just doing what I'm told. I have the approval of the military department. ”

After hesitating again and again, Sun Wanli still decided to make it clear in person. After a brief opening remarks, he took the briefcase from the adjutant next to him, opened it, and took out the Ren order stamped with the bright red seal of the military headquarters.

Sun Wanli held the document high, placed it parallel to the screen, and said seriously: "According to the order of the military department, I am now the chief of staff of the 505 Group Army. ”

"Chief of Staff? Hehe......"

Gao Liquan leaned back a little, he couldn't stop shaking his head, and a strange sneer appeared on his face: "Who issued the letter of appointment?" Minister of General Administration Sun Zhan? Or Zhao Zhikai, chairman of the military department? ”

His laughter was insolent, full of disdain and disdain.

It was the first time Sun Wanli had encountered such a situation. He was only a storekeeper before, and when Sun Zhan assigned the task, he only mentioned very vaguely: The control of the 505 Group Army was a little tricky. If you have a problem, you can take full responsibility for it. If it is a difficulty that cannot be solved, immediately contact the Beijing No. 1 headquarters and wait for follow-up reinforcements.

Communication is blocked, and communication is simply an empty word.

Sun Wanli didn't understand where Gao Liquan's contemptuous attitude towards the military department came from? He disagreed, but he was not disgusted. This may be because a high-ranking military officer was implicated in the death of his daughter, which made Sun Wanli suspicious, even potentially angry and hostile, to the upper echelons of society as a whole.

Sun Wanli didn't explain much. He turned directly to the end of the document and pointed to Zhao Zhikai's signature in the lower right corner. Even though the name was written in a messy and messy manner, it was barely possible to make out the basic outline of the text.

This sloppy way of signing is probably the common denominator of all those in power. They all like to write words that are not easy to read, in order to show their profundity and mystery. But it's funny, if the same thing happens to a small person, it will only be scolded for not being serious in writing, or Yu Crisp bluntly said "not educated enough". If you change to a big person, no matter how ugly the writing is, no matter how much it looks like a bubble of shit, it is still called "calligraphy", "wild grass", "individual, atmospheric, and personal expression of great understanding of Chinese characters".

Gao Liquan glanced at the document, directly skipped this kind of thing that seemed useless to him, still shook his head, and said coldly: "I will not recognize the legal effect of this document." I only recognize the appointment of the military officer in person. I'll give you five minutes to connect with the Beijing No. 1 headquarters. If the Military Commission proves that this is the case, then you can take over all the affairs of the new Guiyang base, including all the troops under my command. ”

These words were high-sounding and full of momentum.

The muscles on Sun Wanli's face twitched, and he finally understood the true meaning of the word "despicable".

The entire airport has been caught in the air waves. If the other party does not remove the electromagnetic shielding, no signal from the dispatch center can be sent, let alone any remote contact.

Resisting the urge to break the neck of the arrogant man on the screen, Sun Wanli took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Are you deliberately embarrassing me?" You know that we can't do this now. General Gao, if you really want to negotiate, then you should show enough sincerity. At the very least, communication shielding should be lifted. I assure you, in my capacity as the new Chief of Staff, will definitely not ......"

"That's your own business."

Gao Liquan's gaze became full of banter: "I didn't do anything. As for claims like communication barriers, that's just your baseless speculation. Even if the military department is held accountable, I will not change my current statement. ”

Sun Wanli's eyes began to be bloodshot sharply, and they instantly turned red. He clenched his fists hard and roared at the screen, "Are you kidding me? What exactly do you want? ”

"I don't have the time to play any games with you."

Gao Liquan put away the frivolity on his face, and the whole person suddenly became as cold and heavy as a rock. He stared at Sun Wanli firmly with a sharp gaze, and his volume was raised to a loud enough level: "The appointment of a chief of staff is a piece of paper. There was no signal issued in advance, and no liaison personnel were appointed, and the armed forces of up to 3,000 people were directly landed directly, and this is the practice of the so-called "new chief of staff"? What is the difference between this and an undeclared war? ”

The angry flame in Sun Wanli's chest was instantly extinguished by Gao Liquan's roar. He tensed the muscles on his face and defended unwillingly: "I, I'm just doing what I'm told." I didn't have ......"

"I am also acting on orders————"

Gao Liquan produced an overwhelming momentum with a huge volume: "I am the commander of the new Guiyang base garrison officially appointed by General Su Hao. General Su Hao was the commander of the 505 Group Army officially appointed by the Military Department. Our identities are unique and legitimate. And you? Directly carry out airborne landing to occupy the airfield, and send troops to the base side for tactical transfer. I want to ask you, and the master behind you: what do you think about? It's a time of war, and hundreds of millions of civilians have died since the outbreak of the virus. You never ask if those people live or die, but here you are busy fighting for power. If it were in peacetime, it would not be a pity for you human scum to die a thousand times. ”

A faint sadness suddenly spread in Sun Wanli's mind.

He felt as if he had done something wrong.

He remembered his dead daughter. That beautiful and lovely face is getting farther and farther away from me. Although she had been dead for a long time, the memories in her mind were clear. Now, it's blurrier than ever.

Sun Wanli did not know the lofty ideals and ambitions of Sun Zhan. He also never had the idea of becoming a "man on the top". The blood revenge has been avenged, and it has been earned by being able to live until now. He's just helping his benefactor with things, that's all.

Gao Liquan on the screen spoke again: "For the sake of our comrades, you immediately lay down your arms and surrender." I promise you that you will be well accommodated, that the wounded will be treated, and that no one will die from it. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Sun Wanli nodded calmly: "I accept." ”

As he spoke, he turned around, put the letter of appointment and other important documents into his briefcase, and handed them to the lieutenant who had been waiting beside him.

The adjutant's lips trembled slightly. This agitation quickly spreads throughout the body. He grabbed the briefcase, his heart seemed to be struggling, his eyes were full of disappointment and unwillingness, and his mouth kept emphasizing: "General, you can't do this. Minister Sun has high hopes for you, you should stick to it, and we will definitely be able to wait until the follow-up reinforcements arrive. ”

Sun Wanli smiled, narrowed his eyes and asked, "I know that you were sent by Minister Sun to spy on me, right?"

The adjutant's face suddenly changed very strangely, red and white, mixed with a strange and indescribable expression. He wanted to deny it, but he knew that the Dao had no effect at all. After a few seconds of intense thought in his head, he finally nodded heavily and slowly.

After all, Sun Wanli is not a henchman who can be compared with Hou Jingzhan and others. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, Sun Zhan would not have temporarily promoted him to the high position of general. Despite this, Sun Zhan was not at ease with the man he had helped. The adjutant will report on Sun Wanli's performance at any time, and Sun Zhan will use this as a basis to decide whether he will continue to reuse him? Or just kill?

"He doesn't really have to do it at all."

Sun Wanli smiled faintly. This gentle change of mood, in stark contrast to the anger of a few minutes ago, is all the more disturbing. He raised his hand, patted the adjutant's arm, and said seriously: "You are still young, and there are those soldiers outside. You all deserve to live well. While it is commendable to give one's life for the sake of lofty ideals, the price is too heavy. You may not be able to understand what I'm saying right now, but if you can live to my age, get married, and have children, you'll understand. ”

Without waiting for the adjutant to answer, Sun Wanli had already taken out a pistol from his waist, raised it high, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at his temple.

Gao Liquan on the screen put away the disdain and indifference in his eyes.

The adjutant standing next to him changed his face suddenly, like a blank piece of paper. He shouted in a lost voice: "No, general, you can't ...... like this"

As he spoke, he risked his life and rushed over, wanting to snatch the gun from Sun Wanli's hand.

They are also third-order strengtheners, but the adjutant's experience in martial arts is far inferior to Sun Wanli. This is not a difference in physical strength or speed, but Sun Wanli's desire to assassinate those who caused his daughter's death with his personal strength. He had undergone the most brutal training and was no less than the best fighters.

He sideways out of the way and knocked the lieutenant out with another punch. Then quickly get out of the way and retreat to a corner that no one can reach for a short time, still holding the gun up and aiming it at his head.

Sun Wanli tilted his head and stared at Gao Liquan on the screen, his eyes full of incomparably complex ingredients: "General Gao, I envy you. You have a very good boss, and General Su's military exploits are unmatched. He may well be the best soldier of this dark age. I'm not a person who is fit for a power struggle. It was so before and still is. Since my task was not completed, there was a price to pay. I hope that what you have just said is not empty words: Are you sure that every soldier who surrenders will be safe and treated? ”

The muscles on Gao Liquan's face tensed again. He frowned and said seriously, "Actually, you don't have to do this. You don't have to go to the funeral for the filthy desires of those people. They simply don't deserve such a high price you pay. ”

"Someone has to be held accountable for this."

Sun Wanli smiled kindly, but the questioning tone in his words refused to relax at all: "I want to listen to your promise again, is it okay?" ”

Gao Liquan nodded helplessly, and his tone was extremely serious: "If they are still alive now, they will never die." ”

Sun Wanli turned around reassuringly.

The adjutant had already stood up against the wall. He covered the sore spot in his chest hard, bared his teeth, and cried out in a trembling voice: "General, don't do this. ”

He already understood Sun Wanli's thoughts———— someone had to be responsible for this. The Supreme Commander was dead, and Sun Zhan naturally wouldn't vent his anger on others. All those involved in the operation, including themselves, will not be punished.

Sun Wanli glanced at the adjutant calmly, did not speak, and pulled the trigger sharply with his index finger.

No matter how much Sun Zhan helped and favored him, at this moment, it was settled.
