Chapter 903 (1/2)

The war Lu Ziming tried to avoid inevitably broke out. Although this was the end he didn't want to see, it was a reality he had to accept. It was cruel and helpless. Being forced to this step was also an inevitable result.

In the early morning, there was a sudden rumble of gunfire in the direction of jiutun. One roaring shell landed on the nearby position, raising huge smoke and dust. The defense network was torn and thrown high. The mines buried under the position were detonated. The dust covered the sunrise in the morning, shrouded in a gray, the earth under my feet trembled slightly, and the fire beat in the smoke and dust, There was a dance of death.

The shelling lasted more than ten minutes and then stopped abruptly. The landlord's house had no food. Obviously, it was almost lack of shells like Xincheng. It was the limit to maintain it for a period of time.

Just after the shelling, a dark shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance. The dark shadow accompanied by dust shot out slender steel cables. The ”crackling” electric flowers jumped on the steel cables and quickly detonated the mines on the soil surface. Soon, those shadows threw out a cylindrical weight, rolled back and forth on the ground under the traction of the steel cable, and the mines buried deeper were detonated one by one under the heavy pressure.

Xincheng and jiutun laid a large number of mines in front of the positions of both sides under the long-term confrontation, and the act of clearing each other's mines was also regarded as a prelude signal of the attack.

Xincheng surprisingly did not obstruct the mine clearance operation of jiutun. He watched the refitted heavy demining vehicles drive out of jiutun and roll back and forth on the mine position of Xincheng, opening up a safe passage for the follow-up troops to attack.

The unilateral mine action in jiutun heralded the beginning of the war. More than an hour later, the first shell landed on the Xincheng position, and the Xincheng battle officially started.

At the same time, the enemy deployed in the north and south directions of Xincheng also slowly approached the suburbs of Xincheng. Different from the west of Xincheng, Lu Ziming did not arrange mine areas in other directions, and the fierce exchange of fire occurred first in the north and south directions.

”The enemy in the north and south of Xincheng has begun to attack, and the enemy in the West has not attacked, which is different from our expectations?”

”What is the combat effectiveness of the enemy in the north-south direction of Xincheng?”

As the commander in chief of Xincheng defense war, Lao he opened his red eyes: ”the combat effectiveness of the enemy in the north and south of Xincheng is not strong, and has been blocked outside the city by Xincheng's reserve army, but beware of the enemy's deliberate weakness!”

”Well, let the enemy bullets fly for a while and see the combat effectiveness of the enemy in the west?”

The bear put forward his own suggestion: ”Lu Shuai, it's time to fight back. First defeat the enemy in the north and south, and then concentrate the superior forces to attack the enemy's Western army. The battle will end earlier?”

Koala's suggestion was immediately refuted by Lao he: ”no! The enemy's intention is unknown. Now is not the time to take the initiative? At this time, we defeated the enemy on the north and South routes, exposed our follow-up plan in advance, and we can't judge whether the enemy has other backers...”.

Lu Ziming can't figure out what action jiutun will take next. Similarly, jiutun doesn't know how he will react. He can only speculate after the other party makes a move.

”Fat cat, what do you see?”

The fat cat forced to the meeting room by Lu Ziming had a deep resentment on his face and pouted his mouth outside the door. Lu Ziming turned around and saw a guard come in: ”report! Zhao zhuobiao asked for a call?”
