Night falls.
The atmosphere in Paris became unusually tense.
One military truck after another sped up the transport of supplies outwards.
The once bustling squares and streets are now filled with armored vehicles and troop carriers painted in camouflage.
Squads of heavily armed soldiers took over every street corner and important buildings in the city.
The usually laid-back Gauls finally felt a sense of panic, realizing that this presidential martial law order was no joke.
Gunfire and explosions in District 13 accelerated the spread of this fear.
What happened in Chinatown wasn't the expected fireworks and firecrackers, but a real, deadly terrorist attack...
At the intersection of Aaron Street in District 13, the 600 members of the Grey Wolf Gang and the Fuqing Gang dispersed into 20 small teams.
Their main weapons were AK-47s, grenades, RPG rocket launchers, and Browning M2 heavy machine guns...
For tonight's operation, Cheng Ye spared no expense, fully arming what was originally a ragtag group of Chinatown gangsters.
The combined number of members of the Qingtian Gang and the Barber Gang on Ivery Street was nearly a thousand.
Because the street they were to defend was one of the three lines that formed the core triangle of District 13, Cheng Ye equipped this group with the most light and heavy weapons.
In addition to automatic rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, they were even equipped with anti-tank mines and Barrett sniper rifles.
Urban warfare, anti-tank mines, and sniper rifles are the nightmare of armored vehicles and infantry...
It was nearly 7 p.m., and night had fallen.
Apart from a few scattered lights, the buildings in District 13 are almost devoid of the lively atmosphere of daily life.
The residents here all know that light only increases their own danger, and that finishing their New Year's Eve dinner quickly and hiding in the dark is the safest option.
....................................
Cheng Ye felt safer hiding in the darkness.
Standing on the rooftop, he raised his binoculars and observed the northwest direction for a moment.
Gunfire erupted in the area, with bursts of red flames shooting up from the explosions.
"Captain, we've been attacked at the intersection of Aaron Street. About half a battalion of the enemy has bypassed the center of the street and is attacking us from both flanks. Their firepower is very strong."
Cheng Ye recognized the voice as that of Liaison Officer No. 3:
"The Gray Wolf Gang and the Fuqing Gang were caught off guard, resulting in more than a hundred deaths and injuries."
"Didn't the enemy give any warning before attacking?" Cheng Ye frowned. This situation was not right. Did the Gauls send out special forces right away?
"Boss, this unit appeared very suddenly. Based on the intensity of their firepower and weaponry, it's highly likely to be the elite special forces unit of France: GIGN!"
“GIGN?” Cheng Ye asked with a hint of surprise. “No wonder it’s so powerful. I doubt it can hold out for long at Aaron Street.”
"Number 3, notify the people defending Aaron Street to hold out until nightfall, as reinforcements will arrive."
"clear!"
......
Cheng Ye frowned and pondered for a moment before connecting to the dedicated channel for Communicator No. 1:
"Number 1, how much longer until Chief Lanso's men arrive?"
Correspondent No. 1: "Reporting to the captain, they are on their way and should arrive in about 20 minutes."
"Alright, once the leader's troops arrive, immediately inform him of the situation on Aaron Street, and let the leader's men go up there and have some fun."
“I know that if I don’t leave some battles for the leader to fight, he will definitely come after me.”
"receive!"
......
After the order was given, Cheng Ye shifted his obese body to make himself more comfortable.
Through the hazy darkness of the night, he could see a group of flashing navigation lights flying towards the northeast of the city.
Judging from this, it seems that the French military has deployed armed helicopters.
Cheng Ye curled his lip in disdain and muttered, "The sun has already set, and the birds still dare to fly out in the wild?"
He picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed another button:
"Number 2, are the anti-aircraft weapons on the north roof ready?"
"Report to the captain, RPGs and portable missiles are deployed and ready to attack at any time."
"Good. Watch the northeast direction. A group of night owls is flying over."
"Captain, rest assured, the air defense team has received information that if any enemy aircraft dare to enter our firing range, we'll give them a blast of fire..."
"Well done."
Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The black cloak he wore fluttered without wind, and his pupils, hidden in the night, seemed to flash with a few glints of light.
He turned around and instructed his trusted confidant, Ah Hai, who was also wearing a black cloak:
"Ah Hai, give the signal, the fireworks for New Year's Eve can be lit."
Ah Hai understood, pulled out a signal gun, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.
Two red signal flares soared into the night sky, turning the surrounding clouds blood red.
A few seconds later.
In Piazza Italia, located in the center of the 13th arrondissement, bursts of fireworks, trailing afterimages, shot into the dark sky.
With the whooshing sound of rocket fireworks streaking through the sky, the night sky within a one-kilometer radius was instantly deafened.
Dozens of fireworks, as beautiful as chrysanthemums and orchids, bloomed in the night sky.
Red, purple, gold, green, blue...
Like countless fiery flowers, blooming in the night sky.
On the ground, flames rose and fell in the streets of the 13th arrondissement.
The fierce gunfire in the streets, mingled with the fireworks in the sky, created a strange and beautiful scene.
