District 9

After the Shensha Corps lost the military support from the EU Zone 1, it meant that they were completely unable to gain a foothold in the Ninth Zone.

The coalition forces have more than 200,000 troops, while the Shensha Army has less than 140,000 troops at full strength. Now it has been engaged in a defensive war for another week. The number of combat casualties is huge, the loss of armaments, and the consumption of ammunition are also very serious. If you continue to hold on, Fengbeicheng will be lost sooner or later. Therefore, abandoning District 9 and retreating to District 7 is their only way out at present.

Meng Xi's guess about the Shensha Group's withdrawal route was also very correct. They really don't have the ability to break through the coalition forces outside Fengbei and then fight all the way to District 7. Therefore, the faster and more effective way to evacuate is to take the sea route and take the battleship of District 7 to Luhuai.

Lukou Port is currently one of the few options for the Shensha Corps. It is not far from Fengbei. Now that the large forces have begun to move, there is still a chance.

…

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the General Political Headquarters of the Northern Military Headquarters issued an order to all combat units in the Shensha Corps to withdraw to the south. Sha Zhongwei's division was specially sent to open the way as soon as possible and take the lead to Lukou Port. Move in the direction and occupy a favorable position.

As soon as the Shensha Corps prepared to retreat, chaos broke out in Fengbei City. The senior officers and junior officers of each army no longer have time to take care of the security in the city. They are all collecting their own gold and silver, preparing to run away with the army.

Incidents such as smashing and looting are happening all the time. Not only are the people making trouble, but even the soldiers are starting to snatch supplies, money and food.

Many group enterprises, companies, and shops were looted. Even many commercial institutions that were close to the Shensha Corps were killed. Now no one cares which side they are on. The only guarantee is to put money and food on their own military vehicles.

Shen Wanzhou was extremely angry at this chaos, but he had no ability to control it anymore. At this time, if the military and political headquarters continues to force the troops and give them reins, it is likely to lead to rebellion or defection.

History has proven countless times that in the face of wars and disasters, most human nature is ugly.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sand regiments on the north side of Fengbei retreated across the board and returned to Fengbei City.

About an hour later, Shen Wanzhou, Sha Zhongxing and other core generals led the 30,000 direct line defenders in the city, as well as some of the sand forces entering the city, to exit the customs on the west side of Fengbei, and then evacuated towards Lukou Port.

At this time, there were probably more than 10,000 defenders left in Fengbei City. The leading division commander was Liu Zheng. He was a veteran general of the Sand Clan and had high loyalty. Liu Zheng took over Fengbei and immediately followed the instructions of Bank of China to contact General Manager Xiang and asked him to evacuate together, but General Manager Xiang declined politely.

…

After the army began to evacuate, the more than 70,000 Shensha Corps defenders on the south side of Fengbei also began to fully evacuate to the southwest. However, because the withdrawal orders received by the troops were too sudden, these troops left in a very embarrassed manner, and many armaments in the frontline warehouses were not taken away in time.

From the time the Shen Corps decided to evacuate to the time it took action, it all happened within a few hours. This resulted in the coalition forces being less prepared. Many troops had just withdrawn when they were about to pounce.

And after the Shensha Department ran away, the military atmosphere within the coalition forces also became very subtle.

First of all, since the sand regiments stationed on the north side of Fengbei have withdrawn, the Lu faction can press hard on the northern pass of Fengbei without any scruples. During this period, Qin Yu, Commander Zhou, communicated with the Lu faction several times in an attempt to let them continue to pursue the Shensha Corps. However, their headquarters promised, but did not take action. Instead, they attacked Fengbei Beiguan. On the periphery, they were re-stationed and a large number of artillery units were mobilized, seemingly preparing to forcibly attack the city.

At the same time, Feng's 20,000 army troops outside Songjiang did not pursue the Shensha Corps. Instead, after the opponent's large forces evacuated, they suddenly returned to Songjiang City to garrison. In the end, the Feng clique only had 30,000 troops in Fengbeinan, who participated in the pursuit of the Shensha Corps.

As soon as Shen Wanzhou ran away, the military situation in District 9 became even more bizarre.

…

In Fengbei City.

Shen Fei followed the second batch of evacuating troops and was preparing to leave the city.

"Dip Lingling!"

The phone rang, and Shen Fei pressed the answer button in the car: "Hello?"

"Sir Shen, I am Xiao Huang from MI3."

"I know, what's wrong?" Shen Fei asked.

"I'm not going to go to District 7 with the army anymore. When I get out of the city, a friend will pick me up. I'm going to go to Zangyuan and stay for a while." Xiao Huang asked bluntly: "You have helped me a lot before, Chief Shen, what do you want?" Don’t you want to go with us?”

Shen Fei frowned and said with a sneer: "You can run, but can I run? Wherever the old man is, I have to be there."

"...Sir Shen, there is something I don't know whether I should say."

"you say."

"I heard that Chief Zhu has been secretly investigating you. It is said that he has some clues in his hand." Xiao Huang said in a low voice: "I don't know what this person is thinking. He actually suspects that Shen Yin is you." Killed."

Shen Fei was stunned when he heard this.

"Anyway, be careful. If he fails, he may accuse you in front of Commander Shen." Xiao Huang reminded kindly: "Now our Shen troops are in such a bad situation, and Commander Shen just died." If you give up your son... once he becomes irrational, you may not even have a chance to defend yourself."

"Who did you listen to?" Shen Fei asked.

"Don't worry about it. The news is absolutely true anyway." Xiao Huang paused and said, "Mr. Shen, please be careful. We are destined to meet again."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Fei nodded.

"Dudu!" The other party hung up the phone.

Shen Fei was sitting in the military vehicle with gloomy eyes. He lowered his head and immediately sent a text message to Bureau Wu.

…

Within the Military Intelligence Bureau, a large number of civilian personnel are packing up information and files.

Chief Zhu stood at the window, turned to look at Xiao Huang and asked, "Have you finished calling him?"

"Well, I have told him what you asked me to do." Xiao Huang nodded.

"Sir, what's your purpose for doing this?" the deputy asked.

Officer Zhu took a puff of cigarette and replied calmly: "After we leave the city, find someone to keep an eye on Shen Fei. If he runs away halfway, it can be basically confirmed that he killed Shen Yin."

The deputy's eyes lit up: "This way is awesome!"

Chief Zhu deliberately let someone leak the news to Shen Fei because he was not sure that Shen Fei was the one who killed Shen Yin, and he had no direct evidence.

Recently, Fengbei Foreign Affairs Bureau has been fighting, which has had a great impact on the Military Intelligence Bureau's investigation. Chief Zhu was stuck in the city and couldn't find any clues, so he thought of a way to deceive Shen Fei to see if he was guilty and whether he would run away.

…

at the same time.

Songjiang, inside the Feng family villa.

Feng Chengzhang went to the study and held a video conference with Lu Bosen, Xue Huaili, and He Chong.

"Our troops must capture Fengbei first." Feng Chengzhang said expressionlessly: "The Shensha Corps has no chance of making a comeback. We must seize the opportunity."
