Chapter 1285: Chapter 45: Dawn (End)
The nearest to the combat area is a Jiepeng Armored Division coming out of Beiguan City!
In the Northern Mountain Region, thirty percent of Jiepeng’s forces were concentrated, while the 13th Armored Division was less than eighty kilometers south of Beiguan City, right in the center of a heavy encirclement by dozens of Jiepeng divisions... Everyone looked at each other, and in shock, saw the answer to the previous question in each other’s eyes!
It wasn’t a Jiepeng trap, but rather a miracle created by this unit still fighting in front of them! They held up thirty percent of Jiepeng’s forces; their existence forced Jiepeng into a massive mistake!
No need for further simulation, just recall the escape route of this unit, and every analyst can sketch out a shocking fact.
"Have you sent the recognition signal?" Admiral Briggs, the second commander of the Army Group, inquired of Li Hongwu’s deputy.
"It has been sent..." The staff officer replied, "Waiting for a response."
As soon as the staff officer finished speaking, the communication liaison officer’s excited voice impatiently rang out: "Connected, it’s our troops, it’s our troops, the communication signal immediately returned. Electronic rights are in their hands; this is them proactively connecting the signal to us! Eight... Seven... Six..."
Amidst the liaison officer’s tense countdown, everyone’s hearts were already in their throats...
"Three... Two... One..." With the end of the countdown, the communication signal light suddenly changed from red to green.
After a brief distortion on the screen, a face that everyone present was extremely familiar with appeared on the screen.
"You little brat..." Li Cunxin looked angrily at Li Hongwu: "If you come any later, I’ll be reporting here."
The entire analysis room was silent.
Looking at the familiar face and hearing his familiar voice, a sour and warm stream surged from everyone’s heart to their nasal cavity.
No one cared about the elder calling the nearly fifty-year-old Admiral Li Hongwu a little brat, nor did anyone find it amusing coming from a father’s mouth.
Everyone looked at Admiral Li Hongwu, watching tears welling up in the eyes of this man who never showed emotions to anyone.
"Father!"
Li Cunxin frowned slightly and said: "Here, I am the Marshal!"
"Yes!" Li Hongwu stood at attention and saluted.
"Hurry up, we’ve already held up thirty Jiepeng divisions here and taken out two of their armored divisions. Just waiting for you now. Move quickly!" Li Cunxin finished speaking, cleanly ending the communication, passing the signal to Pei Litong next to him.
Although from beginning to end, Li Cunxin appeared very calm, everyone could see that the elder, famous for his toughness and bravery, fighting hard battles all his life, had a slight glisten in his eye when he heard the word ’father’.
"This is a miracle," Felix turned his head; he didn’t want Su Fei to see his reddened eyes. "Our prayers have been answered."
Su Fei nodded vigorously but couldn’t say a word. Tears flowed uncontrollably. She suddenly realized that joy beyond enduring capacity also makes one cry with heartache.
The Chuckna Military Department, under enormous pressure, finally saw dawn, and all the worries along the way had vanished. From today on, Chuckna’s soldiers could stand straight before their people and proudly pat their chests, telling everyone this army never abandoned its pride and dignity.
We have always been fighting! Even on fallen planets or amidst hundreds of enemy divisions, still fighting!
The Marshal is still alive!
"Lieutenant Colonel!" Felix walked up to Wang Hao: "Please arrange for me to go to the front line. At such a moment, facing such a miracle, please allow me to do something for this proud army. Allow me to use my camera to bring some hope, some confidence, to all Chuckna citizens!"
"And me!" Su Fei wiped away her tears and exclaimed.
Wang Hao did not refuse. He looked at Felix’s reddened eyes and Su Fei’s tear-streaked face, firmly nodding!
********************************************************************************
Felix’s talk show had reached airtime.
But to the disappointment of Chuckna citizens, on the TV screen, aside from repeated apologies, there wasn’t any sign of it starting.
This program, ever since before the Alliance forces set off, had already become every Chuckna person’s first choice daily. They loved Felix, loved this gray-haired, sharp-spoken old man with a righteous and passionate heart.
In this war, he was more of a warrior than many others!
Everyone was anticipating the signal he would relay from the front lines. To ensure the authenticity of the program, the TV station even publicly announced the signal frequency for public monitoring. Only signals transmitted from Felix’s exclusive cameras, only the signal transmitted by civilian transmission equipment, were genuine. Anyone with a little knowledge of this could monitor the signal and distinguish real from fake.
This time, the Military Department had evidently gone all out.
They needed to use this method to prove they are still the nation’s guardians, to prove they are still trustworthy!
However, almost all comments were pessimistic about the Military Department’s action. Many industry insiders shook their heads when discussing this program. Felix is known for being uncompromising, notorious for it. He cannot be bought; he is like a stone in a latrine, both foul and hard. The Military Department this time, is shooting themselves in the foot!
