No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
In the woods, a middle-aged man with a big beard leaned back in a chair, smoking a cigarette that was almost burnt out.
Lao Cui.
One of Duan Weijun's most capable subordinates.
Lao Cui also fought for more than ten years, but his official position was never high.
The reason is simple: he has a stubborn temper and speaks harshly.
Things like talking back to your boss are commonplace.
Once, the son of his direct superior complained that the food in the barracks was not tasty and clamored to change the cook.
Lao Cui heard it and shouted at the top of his voice...
"Your mother's milk is delicious. Why do you come here if you want to eat something delicious?"
Because of this sentence, he was almost killed.
Later, for some unknown reason, his superiors did not make things too difficult for him. Instead, they threw him into a squad of the Third Army of the City Guard.
When he heard that the captain of this team was only eighteen years old, Lao Cui knew that he must be another rich boy from some family who came here to gild his reputation.
That was the first time he met Duan Weijun.
Duan Weijun was eighteen years old at the time.
Lao Cui is forty years old.
However, when they met for the first time, Lao Cui almost called Duan Weijun "brother".
This child looks too old.
But old doesn't mean mature.
Lao Cui looked down on these children of officials anyway, so naturally he had no respect for them.
However, after spending half a year in the team, Lao Cui changed his opinion of Duan Weijun.
This old guy really has something.
Duan Weijun knew that Lao Cui looked down on him, but he didn't get angry. Even when Lao Cui occasionally said a few insults to him, he would just smile and let it go.
It was the first time that Lao Cui had met such a humble young man.
It was not until an internal military exercise that Duan Weijun assigned Lao Cui a very inconspicuous task.
Lao Cui didn't take it seriously.
It was because of his negligence that their team was defeated in the exercise.
That time, Duan Weijun finally lost his good temper.
In front of the other teams, he pointed at Lao Cui's nose and scolded him for more than an hour.
Duan Weijun's mouth is even more vulgar than Lao Cui's when he curses people.
It was at that time that Lao Cui realized that he almost lost his life because of scolding his superior's son.
It is too easy to charge a man like him with a crime punishable by death, since he has no background and no official position.
Duan Weijun thought that he was a bit arrogant and had some ability, so he saved him and brought him under his command.
All in all, Lao Cui owed Duan Weijun a life.
And since then, Lao Cui has indeed changed.
On the one hand, it is gratitude to Duan Weijun.
On the other hand, he also truly recognized Duan Weijun's abilities.
This old guy is different from those young masters who are still nursing their babies.
In four years, Lao Cui also became one of Duan Weijun's most capable generals.
At this time, Lao Cui threw the cigarette butt out of the car and then picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Team One, go say hello to the other team."
…
On the side of the Regional Patrol Army, the leader is called Chen Yang, who is in his thirties. Like Zhang Dongwei who died before, he is also a deputy regiment commander.
Chen Yang had already heard gunshots coming from the first exit.
He knew the battle had begun.
Just a minute ago, he received a call.
Meng Di ordered him not to rest and to lead his men directly to attack the enemy's flank.
Chen Yang had no objection to Meng Di's order.
But at this moment he was thinking about one thing.
Guan Shanyue has discovered that Meng Di left the team without permission.
Moreover, word had spread in the camp that Mengdi might be stripped of his clothes.
Although he didn't know that Zhang Dongwei was dead, he knew that Zhang Dongwei had left the camp with Meng Di, and now only Meng Di had returned...
Chen Yang judged that Zhang Dongwei was most likely defeated outside.
In the seventh camp, there are only two deputy commanders, him and Zhang Dongwei.
If Zhang Dongwei is really dead and Meng Di is dismissed...
Will the position of regimental commander be filled by someone else, or will it fall on my own head?
If I can perform well in this battle, will my chances of promotion be greater?
Thinking of this, Chen Yang became a little interested.
Following Mengdi's instructions, harassing the flanks would be effective, but it would only give the main force a chance to attack.
The contribution is not great.
But if I could get behind the enemy and deliver a fatal blow...
That would be the first credit!
Chen Yang was a little hesitant.
"Deputy Captain Chen, do we need to slow down?"
A non-commissioned officer next to him asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang frowned.
Deputy Head Chen...
The word "deputy" sounds really unpleasant.
If a regimental commander really comes by airdrop, this word will still be behind my name.
Got to take it off!
"Turn."
Chen Yang suddenly ordered: "Notify them, we will change direction and go directly behind the enemy."
"ah?"
The sergeant was a little puzzled: "But the order from Meng Tuan is..."
Chen Yang glared and said, "Going around to the back will be more effective!"
The sergeant hesitated.
But Chen Yang said coldly: "I am the boss of this team now! If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility! You just need to follow my orders, understand?"
Although the sergeant was somewhat reluctant, he gritted his teeth and gave orders according to Chen Yang's instructions.
"They're just a bunch of trash. What could possibly go wrong if we beat them up?"
