Chapter 580 Sudden Artillery Fire
"If you dare kill me, my men will tear you to pieces! You won't leave here alive!" Cong Ran was terrified; his words were vicious, trying to intimidate Wen Ni. "Don't forget, this is my territory!"
"Your men? You mean those good-for-nothings guarding outside? Sorry, I didn't leave a single one alive." Wen Ni cupped Cong Ran's cheek with her other hand, her tone icy. "I blew up your supply depot. And your human shields, they ran away to save their own lives long ago! With a mere five thousand soldiers, what makes you think you can defeat our army?"
"Your army? The Fifth Brigade... Did Liang He send you?!" Cong Ran belatedly realized.
“Yes, the Fifth Brigade will soon take over Fuping. It’s just a pity you won’t see it.” Wen Ni’s eyes turned cold, and her slender fingers pulled the trigger!
With a thud, Cong Ran collapsed to the ground.
Wen Ni lifted her leg and stepped over Cong Ran's corpse.
Black boots trod on red blood as he walked step by step to the balcony and took out a signal flare.
A vibrant red shot into the sky, blazing and dazzling, like a red sun illuminating the entire night sky!
The desolate outskirts of the city
Liang He, who had been anxiously waiting, looked up.
The eyes reflected that blinding, dazzling red light!
A look of joy instantly appeared on his face!
"All troops, prepare to attack Fuping!"
"yes!!"
Before entering the city, Wen Ni made an agreement with Liang He that they could attack the city by using a signal flare!
The fire in Fuping City is still burning.
Meanwhile, the Chinese army advanced with unstoppable momentum!
The iron gate of the military camp was pushed down, and pairs of military boots stepped on it.
The Burmese soldiers were still completely bewildered.
They held their guns up, watching the approaching Fifth Brigade of the Chinese Army!
During the stalemate
A series of gunshots rang out from the roof of the main building!
They all turned their heads in unison.
What I saw was Wen Ni, a girl standing alone, holding a pistol high in one hand and firing several shots into the air!
She had taken off her Burmese military uniform and was only wearing a white shirt, with one leg bent and stepping on the railing.
Then slowly raise your left hand!
In her hand, she was clutching a bloodied head! The face was contorted in rage, the eyes wide open!
"Colonel Cong Ran of the Burmese barbarians has been executed! All Burmese soldiers, surrender your weapons and you will not be killed! Do not put up any more futile resistance!"
A cold, high-pitched voice echoed in the air.
The Burmese soldiers were stunned, and their guns fell to the ground.
"Go!" Liang He gave the order.
The soldiers behind him stepped forward and pinned down the Burmese soldiers.
Liang He's Fifth Brigade captured Fuping overnight without losing a single soldier, a truly miraculous victory!
"That woman is indeed formidable."
"What woman? Call her Miss Wen Ni!"
"What 'Miss'? She should be called Comrade Wen Ni!"
The officers who had previously been critical of Wen Ni completely changed their opinion of her after this battle and now held her in high esteem!
"Wen Ni! Come here!"
Liang He sat in front of the campfire and waved to Wen Ni.
As soon as Wen Ni went over, Qin Yuan shoved a large chicken leg into her hand.
"We haven't had a good meal these past few days of traveling, but now that we've captured Fuping, we can finally have some meat!" Liang He's tone was much kinder, and he had a smile on his face. "Eat up, it's specially grilled for you, don't be shy!"
"Thank you, Brigade Commander."
"If anyone should be thanking you, it should be us thanking you. If it weren't for you, countless people would have died in this battle!" Chief of Staff Liang He said sincerely.
Wen Ni sat down with them and handed the chicken leg to Bai Chong, who sat down next to her.
“I couldn’t have infiltrated so successfully by myself alone. I couldn’t have dealt with so many Burmese soldiers by myself. War is never a one-man battle, but a group of brave people supporting each other with their lives.” Wen Ni said calmly, “You, me, and him are all indispensable.”
"That's right! Absolutely right, hahaha!"
Liang He nodded in agreement, and when he recalled his previous doubts and threats against Wen Ni, he couldn't help but blush and gave an awkward smile.
"Come on, everyone, eat more! Don't be shy!" The chief of staff noticed the awkwardness in the air and quickly made arrangements to liven up the atmosphere again. "Well, Wen Ni, our brigade commander just said that when we get to Yancheng, he will definitely introduce you to our army commander. The army commander values talent, and there are only a few capable people in the army. He will definitely give you a position! Then, we will fight our way to the capital together!"
"Who is your army commander?" Qin Yuan asked curiously, her mouth full of grease. "Since the 85th Group Army is newly formed, your army commander is not someone who was temporarily appointed, is he?"
"Yes, he's newly appointed, and our army commander has never served in the military before! It's a complete career change!" The chief of staff perked up as he spoke. "However, although he's never been in the military, he's got a sharp mind! He's a genius when it comes to warfare. Take this recent Sino-Burmese conflict, for example. Neither side had gained an advantage in the long stalemate! But as soon as our army commander entered the fray, he not only drove out the Burmese barbarians who had invaded western Yunnan, but also captured three cities in one fell swoop, and is now heading straight for Yancheng!"
"From what you've said, they're really impressive." Qin Yuan was so engrossed in listening that she forgot to gnaw on the bone.
"When are we leaving for Yancheng?" Wen Ni was more concerned about this. "Also, have you settled in with Ge Gang and Ma Qi?"
“We can only set off for Yancheng after the other military commands take over Fuping. Roughly speaking, if all goes well, it will take about half a month. We should be there by now.” Liang He pondered for a moment. “As for Ge Gang and Ma Qi, don’t worry, I’ve already let them leave.”
You've left? That's good...
Given the current situation, staying by her side is truly unsafe.
“By the way, the army commander called earlier and said that Wenxiong would bring the Second Brigade to support us in Fuping. How come we haven’t seen any trace of the Second Brigade even though we’ve already captured Fuping?” Liang He suddenly remembered something important. “Chief of Staff, have the communications team try to contact Wenxiong and see what’s going on?”
"good."
Wen Ni frowned, a vague unease creeping into her heart.
The defense of Champa was handled by Liang He and his team.
After the other officers and soldiers finished their meal, they also went to work, without stopping for a moment!
Wen Ni lay on her cot, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Why hasn't the Second Brigade, which should have arrived in Fuping together, arrived yet, and why can't we contact them?
"Something's not right..."
Wen Ni rolled over and sat up.
As she put on her shoes and lifted the tent flap to look for Liang He, she felt a blinding light coming towards her from afar. The next second, sand and dust flew up all around her, and she herself was thrown into the air by the huge impact!
It landed heavily again!
A bloody scar appeared on her forehead from the impact, and severe tinnitus rendered her deaf!
In her dizziness and disorientation, her vision was blurred, but she still saw the shattered limbs and bodies nearby, the soldiers running around looking for cover, and... Qin Yuan running towards her in a panic.
[Wen Ni! Miss Wen Ni!]
Judging from the shape of his mouth, he was probably calling her name.
