Ordinary hours will pass inadvertently, but tonight, for Ruan Chengjiang, these hours are no less than a century, he wants to sleep for a while, but he can't sleep, the slightest movement can touch his extremely sensitive nerves, his brain is much clearer than usual.

At half past two o'clock in the morning, Nguyen Thanh Giang's operational command room was reopened as scheduled, the radio silence was lifted, and the command posts and commanders of the subordinate units were re-contacted to ensure that the communication between the command headquarters and the commanders at all levels was unimpeded, that the positions of the units at all levels of the troops were accurate, that the logistical supply lines were not hindered, and that all preparations were in place.

But the tranquility is full of solemnity and depression, from Ruan Chengjiang down, all the people hold their breath, listening to the hour hand swinging minute by minute, the precise and heavy pendulum sound, beating on everyone's heart, as if galloping like a thousand horses, the heart is like a drum, making people sweat and dare not come out, holding their breath, the atmosphere is tense, everything is just waiting for the person sitting in the middle, their supreme commander to issue the final order.

At 2:58 a.m., Ruan Chengjiang dressed neatly, walked out of the room, came to the center of the combat command room, stretched out his hand to pick up the microphone of the main engine, his face was expressionless, his eyes were stagnant, and with a "drip" sound, the pendulum hit 3:00:00.

Ruan Chengjiang's voice was low, facing the microphone, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he said word by word: "The attack begins." ”

The order to attack is transmitted by radio waves to the hands of the commander of each combat unit, one by one, and finally to every soldier, every combat unit.

After receiving the order to attack, all the units participating in the battle quickly moved into action, and the army aviation flight group loaded with special operations groups began to take off from various flight bases, and more than 100 helicopters flew in the direction of Hafu; In the Quang Binh direction, the Lang Son Division and the Quang Binh Brigade all dispatched to Hai Duong City and launched a fierce attack on Hai Duong, and sent a capable division to insert An Nhon diagonally and build a blocking position at the An Nhin Railway Station, on the one hand, to cut off the back road of the Hai Duong Brigade and prevent it from returning to Ha Phu, on the other hand, to peep into Ha Phu and wait for the Lang Son Division and the Quang Binh Brigade to defeat the Hai Duong Brigade, and then merge into one and attack Ha Phu along the railway; In the direction of Taiyuan, after the Taiyuan Brigade took control of the Taiyuan Station, it advanced along the railway to attack Hefu, and the Gaoping Brigade launched a fierce attack in the direction of Yongan in the southwest.

Within half an hour after the attack order was issued, good news was frequently reported in the combat command room of the Northern Military Region, and on the Hai Duong side, the attack progressed exceptionally smoothly, and the Lang Son Division broke through the city defense of Hai Duong within half an hour and successfully controlled the Hai Duong station, but the Hai Duong Brigade suffered heavy casualties in the case of a sudden attack, and the Hai Duong Brigade immediately withdrew from the Hai Duong city, but quickly built a blocking position on a high ground in the suburbs and began to resist on the spot; In the direction of Yong'an, the Yongfu Brigade was also caught off guard, and suffered heavy losses, they resisted while retreating, before withdrawing from Yong'an City, the commander of the Yongfu Brigade did a very commendable thing, that is, he sent people to blow up six or seven kilometers of railway trunk lines along the line, and then also to the Haiyang Brigade, launched a resistance one by one, while reporting to Hefu, asking for reinforcements, and launching a blocking battle in the dangerous terrain. This casual move of his does not seem to be much of an obstacle now, but it has caused a great obstacle to Nguyen Thanh Giang in the near future.

According to Fang Pingrong's report, the number of troops was about one regiment, and what surprised Fang Pingrong the most was that this unit was similar to the one that had been ambushed along the railway line in advance, and this unit was well-equipped, had a tough style, and would not retreat, and they even carried anti-tank rocket launchers and arranged a minefield on the main communication road, which caused a lot of trouble to the attacking troops.

This abnormal situation immediately attracted Ruan Chengjiang's attention, he was suspicious, suspicious in his heart, and secretly said that this was Huang Wentao or Li Changping, they had laid an ambush in advance, but in this way, the strength of a regiment could play a big role in the face of their own powerful offensive, but if it was not for them to be ambushed in advance, where did this army come from?

He was restless, sometimes turning to the electronic screen to watch the progress of the troops above, sometimes stunned, but the constant good news from the front made him both excited and dazed, because he now did not know whether the current victory was a good thing or a bad thing, whether it was a trap they had set to lead him to a more dangerous abyss.

But the moment the dense helicopter group flew over his head, his heart hardened, in his eyes, he had such a strong strength, so why worry about these details, the war relied on the strength in his hands, not on conspiracy.

The torrent of steel in the air roared by, and the sky was quiet again, looking up at the dark sky, and he could no longer see anything clearly, before he slowly lowered his head, and a rush of footsteps sounded behind him.

"General," it was his chief of staff who came, he stood behind Nguyen Cheng Giang and said: "General, now that Vinh An and Hai Duong are in our hands, and they have completed the encirclement of the Vinh Phu Brigade and Hai Duong Brigade, the Army Aviation Brigade has also dispatched several helicopters to cooperate with the Lang Son Division and the Gao Binh Brigade to fight, now we have absolute superiority, we must take advantage of this great opportunity to annihilate them completely, once we wait for the Ha Phu side to react and send bombers and fighters, then our air superiority will be lost, And I suggest that we should now immediately launch a strong attack in the direction of the Bac River, quickly occupy the Bac Giang Bridge and the Red River Bridge, complete the encirclement of Ha Fu on all sides, and smash the Yellow Dragon. ”

Ruan Chengjiang's face was gloomy, he nodded and said: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, order the Gaoping Brigade and the Lang Son Division, as well as the Army Aviation Brigade participating in the battle, to completely annihilate the Yongfu Brigade and the Haiyang Brigade as soon as possible in the shortest possible time, as for the Beijiang side, wait a little longer, and wait for the news of the Army Aviation Brigade and the Special Operations Brigade before making a decision." ”

"General, by all means, this will delay the fighter" The chief of staff was shocked, he didn't expect Ruan Chengjiang to make such a decision, and couldn't help but remind loudly.

Ruan Chengjiang waved his hand gently, his eyebrows were knotted into two knots, and the chief of staff did not dare to say any more, so he had to bow his head and turn around and return to the combat command room.

In fact, Ruan Chengjiang didn't know that this would delay the fighter, but he was faintly worried, worried that ahead, his sworn enemies had dug a big hole for him, waiting for him to jump, and he didn't dare to make this decision easily before the current situation was unclear.
