Chapter 261 Jiang Qiu (Update 1)

Zhang Hong looked at the returning Black Blade Mech and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the return time was a little late, at least nothing happened, which was a blessing in disguise.

Soon Su Bai drove the Black Blade Mech and landed in front of Zhang Hong.

The cockpit opened, and Su Bai and Han Qi jumped down.

"Why did you go for so long? How is the situation?" Zhang Hong asked impatiently.

"How should I put it? It's bad, but it's not terrible." Su Bai thought for a while and replied.

"Just tell me what the situation is now." Zhang Hong almost vomited blood when he heard Su Bai's words. If other scouts said this, he would have slapped him to death.

"Jiangdu City was attacked by a large number of alien species, and more than half of the area fell. The situation is not optimistic." Han Qi explained.

Hearing Han Qi's words, Zhang Hong's face immediately sank.

The most worried thing happened.

"But it's not too bad, because we haven't seen the intelligent brain machine yet. In addition, the troops in Jiangdu City have not given up resistance. Although the resistance is very reluctant, they can still hold on for the time being. Of course, I can't guarantee it for a long time. I deliberately risked my life to confirm this." Su Bai explained.

Shen Chen on the side asked: "What should we do now? If Jiangdu City falls completely, we will be in trouble."

"Su Bai, let me ask you a question. Can our troops fight their way in and join them, and then fight together?" Zhang Hong turned his head to look at Su Bai and asked for his advice. After all, he was the only one who knew the specific situation best. This guy might not be good in other aspects, but he was still first-class in combat.

"If there is no change, it is possible!" Su Bai did not dare to guarantee it, and replied conservatively.

After listening to Su Bai's words, Zhang Hong gave orders to all the non-commissioned officers around him without any hesitation.

"Everyone rush forward! Target Jiangdu City!"

"Yes!" Shen Chen and other officers saluted.

After giving the order, Zhang Hong turned his head and said to Su Bai.

"Take a short break and prepare for the battle."

After hearing Zhang Hong's words, Su Bai slapped his face and replied unhappily.

"I don't trust you, it's just reconnaissance!"

Zhang Hong patted Su Bai on the shoulder and said, "I won't say anything else, even if it's my brother's debt to you, please work harder!"

"I know." Su Bai replied helplessly.

Han Qi asked Zhang Hong hesitantly.

"What about these refugees following us?"

"Send someone to inform them that Jiangdu City is on the verge of falling. They can either change their route or follow us. As for life and death, it depends on their own luck." Zhang Hong gritted his teeth and said, he couldn't care less at this time.

"I understand." Han Qi nodded, she naturally understood Zhang Hong's decision.

Soon, the Dragon Fang troops began to advance at full speed, with one Brutal Spider tank after another clearing the way. They crushed any alien species that blocked their way. The refugees fleeing around them also split up, with more than half choosing to change their routes, and the rest desperately trying to keep up with the speed of the Dragon Fang troops.

In the temporary defense line established by Jiangdu City, heavy tanks were knocked out by Type III ramming beetles, tearing open one hole after another, and countless black-toothed rats rushed in frantically. The defense troops of Jiangdu City desperately pushed forward.

The battle was very fierce, with artillery fire all over the area, and corpses of alien species and soldiers everywhere. The sticky blood soaked the entire area, emitting strong radiation and poisonous gas. Even so, the defense troops of Jiangdu City, in the absence of protective clothing, still desperately defended, each holding their own positions with the determination to die, and not retreating, because behind them were their families and friends.

In the rear, all the high-level officials of Jiangdu City gathered together and anxiously asked a short-haired middle-aged woman wearing a colonel's uniform.

"Jiang Qiu, what should we do now? There seem to be more and more gaps. Are we going to collapse soon?"

Jiang Qiu said with a pale face: "We are almost at the limit. After five consecutive days of fighting, half of the casualties have been reached, and the remaining people are also wounded."

"No, we must hold on, otherwise Jiangdu City will be finished! Now all the people in Jiangdu City are concentrated here, and we can't retreat!"

When the entire Jiangdu City was attacked, it did not choose to abandon the city as Kaiming City did in the first time, resulting in the rear road being surrounded by aliens from both sides.

Jiang Qiu gritted his teeth and replied: "I know very well that it is because the people of Jiangdu City retreated here, and the families of the soldiers are also here, so they are willing to fight at all costs, even if half of them died, they did not retreat! But it has really reached the limit, we must consider the worst case scenario."

"Do you mean to give up on them and break out alone?" A white-haired old man asked tremblingly.

"We can only do this when necessary, otherwise we will all die here. Even if we break out alone, we may not be able to get out. Don't dream of any miracles. All communications have been cut off. Every area is under attack. There is no reinforcement and nowhere to escape." Jiang Qiu took a deep breath and revealed the naked reality.

Then Jiang Qiu continued, "This is the last chance. I will stay and cover your retreat. No one should say anything more."

All the high-level officials in Jiangdu City fell silent. They certainly understood that Jiang Qiu was telling the truth, but they dared not imagine what the consequences would be if they really did so.

At this time, an old woman with a cane said hoarsely.

"Sometimes, even though we know that there is a dead end ahead, we cannot retreat, because once we retreat, everything will change. Although life may be continued, our faith will completely cease to exist. Don't worry so much, we will be with you."

Jiang Qiu said sluggishly, "Grandma Tang Jia? This won't work. You can't stay here!"

"As the mayor of Jiangdu City, I have no face after losing Jiangdu City. If I lose all the people in Jiangdu City, how can I face the people of Jiangdu City and see Lord Han Wei?" Tang Jia replied calmly.

Jiang Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma Tang Jia, you don't need to say more. I have made up my mind. You should leave quickly. I will send someone to take you away."

"No need. I am old and will die sooner or later. Just listen to me. Either we die here or we go together!" Tang Jia said without question.

Jiang Qiu stamped his feet fiercely, turned his head and said to the adjutant next to him, "Protect Master Tang Jia and the others."

After saying that, he drew his gun and personally went to the front line to command.
