Chapter 117: The Day of the Decisive Battle

Two days later.

"It's finally the day. ”

Four massive starships hovered in the sky, obscuring the city like dark clouds. Cai Hanwen stood in the command room of a starship, looking at the city below, his eyes deep and solemn.

The entire city has basically withdrawn, and those who remain are either rebels or rebels. With the forces deployed in Nanhu City by the 6th Fleet, as long as there are no constraints, it may not take half a day to recover the city. Starting from the new Third District, this will be an unprecedented victory.

However, Cai Hanwen was not calm.

Experience and feeling have taught him that this battle is not that simple.

First of all, there are changes in the rebels in various places, and the intention to contain the strength of the fleet is extremely obvious. This is a clear card played by the rebels, and no matter what the conspiracy is, the rebel attack is real. Even if it doesn't feel normal, you can only send troops to deal with it.

Then there's the weird earthquake a few days ago.

Data monitoring from the fleet's side showed that the epicenter was moving when the earthquake occurred. And the trajectory is very chaotic, and there is no pattern to speak of. This situation is not like an earthquake, but it is very similar to some cases of dangerous species intruding into the ground.

However, the Life Energy Detector does not have any warning, which means that there are no dangerous species nearby. And according to the habits of dangerous species, they will not easily approach the battlefield. There are very few such cases in the records.

Cai Hanwen wondered if the rebels had conducted some secret experiments in the city, which led to an explosion due to an accident. Or maybe the movements were deliberately created by the rebels to create the illusion that citizens were fleeing and lured his fleet into falling for it. I wanted to send someone to investigate, but because the problem of resettlement of citizens was already exhausted, I couldn't squeeze out manpower for a while.

In addition, there are other details that make Cai Hanwen very uneasy. So after the General Staff asked him to seize the opportunity to recover Nanhu City as soon as possible, Cai Hanwen once raised objections. and summarize the relevant information and submit it to the Planetary Staff for consideration.

However, the General Staff directly rejected him, saying that the Nanhu City earthquake was a godsend and that the fighter plane must not be missed. A special commissioner was even sent over to supervise the war on behalf of the General Staff.

The commander of the fleet did not go against the grain, especially for such a major event as a war, and Cai Hanwen wanted to directly submit another reconsideration to the military department, asking for further revisions to the battle plan. But when he knew the identity of the commissioner, Cai Hanwen dispelled this idea.

Here came the former deputy chief of staff of the General Staff, Wang Dongfang. In addition, Wang Dongfang also has an identity, that is, Cai Hanwen's teacher.

In his early years, Wang Dongfang served in the First Military Academy and was Cai Hanwen's class teacher. Later, he was transferred to the combat unit and happened to be Cai Hanwen's captain. In the end, Wang Dongfang retired from the position of deputy chief of general staff due to health reasons. But he did not leave his job, and hung up a casual job as a consultant to continue to exert his spare energy.

Because he was a teacher in a military school, many people in the army are now his students. In addition, his ability is also outstanding, although he has no real power, as long as his physical condition allows, he will be invited to attend the big and small meetings of the General Staff.

Wang Dongfang told Cai Hanwen that he was involved in formulating the battle plan. The situation in Nanhu City is somewhat abnormal, but the 6th Fleet has an absolute superiority in strength. If the rebels have a conspiracy, they can just plan and recover Nanhu City in one fell swoop.

In the face of his teacher's old superiors, that kind of awe is far greater than the military rank. and then Wang Dongfang's own grandson, who is also among the military cadets abducted by Li Mu. This made Cai Hanwen feel a little more guilty when facing the teacher, and naturally he was not too disobedient.

But at the same time, Cai Hanwen has his own thoughts in his heart. The oscillating squeeze between sensibility and rationality put Cai Hanwen under considerable pressure.

When Li Mu returned to the base before, the reason why Cai Hanwen was so out of shape. Half of them are really angry with Li Mu, and the other half is to find a punching bag to vent their pressure. Just the problems brought by the mother-in-law and wife are not enough to make Cai Hanwen look like that.

But no matter what happened before, it is now ready to fly, and there is no room for looking ahead and backward. Cai Hanwen took all the distractions out of his mind and waited for the time for the general attack to come.

"Commander, there's still an hour left until the launch time. ”

Li Qing came behind Cai Hanwen and stood up: "All the troops are ready, but so far, my direct brigade has not received any orders. ”

"There is no order. Cai Hanwen didn't look back: "I'm just here to stabilize the morale of the army, and I don't need to be the commander to clear the rebels in Nanhu City." Your direct brigade naturally exists in the form of a reserve. ”

"Understood. Li Qing confessed, but did not leave, a little hesitant.

"Is there anything else?" Cai Hanwen turned around: "If you have something, just say it, don't talk about it." ”

"It's my brother's business. Li Qing whispered: "Minister Liu called just now and said that my brother suddenly fell unconscious. Upon examination, an unknown toxin was found in his body, possibly because the rebels had previously manipulated him. ”

"How did you do it?" Cai Hanwen was very annoyed: "It's been a few days, why haven't you found it before?"

"I don't know, Minister Liu didn't say it on the phone. Li Qing looked a little anxious.

"So be it. Cai Hanwen thought for a while: "It just so happens that you don't have a combat mission, help me go back and take a look." The doctor in charge of the treatment first put me in confinement, and then investigated and held me accountable after the battle. ”

"Thank you, Commander!" Li Qing saluted.

Of course, he knew that Cai Hanwen said this on purpose, giving him a chance to go back and see his brother. Now it's only an hour before the general attack time, and if it's something else, I won't be able to drive him away. But about the second brother, Li Qing really couldn't let go.

Li Qing asked for a small aircraft and rushed to the base, and in the medical tent at the base, Liu Ming, the minister of logistics, had just hung up the phone not long after.

"Well, I'm still reputable. Liu Ming smiled and said to Li Mu: "In less than ten minutes, Li Qing will come here." But it's up to you whether you can keep him or not. ”

"Are you going to leave?" asked Li Mu.

"Of course, my mission was accomplished. Liu Ming sighed: "Although I don't like it very much, but after this battle, I will definitely have to hide for a while." But don't worry, we'll see each other again soon. At that point, you'll understand everything. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Li Mu said: "But before you leave, can you do one more thing for me." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Ming looked at Li Mu with a smile. "Don't take an inch. ”

"Don't get me wrong, it's just a gesture. Li Mu gestured with his eyes: "Look, the quilt is a little crooked, and the feet are leaking out, which is a little cold." Please, you can do it, help me cover it. ”

Liu Ming turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that Li Mu's quilt had fallen off, and both legs were hanging outside, which was a little funny for a while.

"Okay, I'll help you. ”

Liu Ming and Li Mu have been getting along very happily these days, because he is enjoying the feeling now.

Previously, in the 6th Fleet, although the location was more important, it lacked a sense of accomplishment. Liu Ming doesn't like to be an unsung hero, he craves flowers and glory. This is also the reason why, in such an important position as the head of the fleet logistics, he is willing to be used by the rebels.

Li Mu's sudden return brought him some trouble, but more of a satisfaction. A guy who gives even the "vultures" a headache, but is at his mercy like a lamb. Chatting and talking to Li Mu and showing his sense of superiority is the most comfortable thing for him these days.

Including helping Li Mu cover the quilt now, it is also a condescending gesture, but the mercy and charity of the strong to the weak.

This feeling, very good.

Liu Ming walked to the foot of the bed and leaned down to pull the quilt. But just as he pinched the corners of the quilt, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The quilt was still fine just now, and no outsiders had ever come in, so how could it suddenly slip off?

As soon as he thought of this, he saw Li Mu's two legs bounce up like poisonous snakes, and suddenly clamped Liu Ming's neck.

"Made, let you pretend to be forced again, watch Lao Tzu kill ...... scissors and feet"
