Restarting life in Siheyuan

"Report, we have spotted a group of enemy aircraft ahead, six in total, heading towards us. Also, we have spotted an enemy fleet sixty miles away, twenty-three enemy ships."

The fleet sounded a shrill air defense alarm and all personnel took their positions urgently. Li Xiaojun made emergency arrangements. First, the armed helicopters quickly took off, and then the fleet quickly dispersed. The shipboard radar had already warned that the enemy was four fighters escorting two bombers.

The blue sea was rough, with the flagship "Hummingbird" pseudo-aircraft carrier in the center and other warships scattered nearby. All the warships' guns were pointing to the sky, waiting for the upcoming fierce battle. The air seemed to freeze at this moment, as it was the first time that the fleet faced an air raid.

There were roars in the sky, and six propeller biplane fighters were approaching the fleet like a dark cloud. Li Xiaojun stood in the command room of the Hummingbird, observing the battle calmly with a sharp gaze. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he quickly thought about whether his arrangements were appropriate.

"Enemy planes are coming, prepare for battle!" Li Xiaojun's steady voice echoed in the communicator, and the ships quickly entered combat mode. The gunners were already in position, their fingers tightly gripping the triggers of the turrets, their eyes fixed on the sky, their heartbeats speeding up, as if they could hear their blood rushing through their veins.

Four fighters were escorting, shuttling flexibly in the air, sometimes diving at low altitude, sometimes pulling up, constantly interfering with the fleet's firepower. The machine guns on the fighters sprayed dense bullets, like a net of death, trying to cover the fleet, and the deck was full of craters.

Perhaps the report from the reconnaissance plane in the morning made them too confident, but unfortunately they overestimated the speed of the biplane propeller fighters. Under the dense artillery fire and anti-aircraft machine guns of the fleet, one of the fighters that flew too close was hit and fell into the sea, dragging thick black smoke. The remaining three fighters then came to their senses and avoided them from a distance, leaving the attack route to the bombers.

The fighters were dispersing rapidly, and two bombers began to dive, with bombs hanging on their wings, flashing coldly, as if they were going to tear the sky apart. Li Xiaojun ordered again: "Target bombers, attack with all hands."

Just before entering the range of the anti-aircraft guns, the bombers suddenly changed their flight path and performed a difficult maneuver to avoid the gunfire. Then, they quickly adjusted their posture and dived towards the fleet again.

"Quick! Keep shooting!" Li Xiaojun shouted. The gunners quickly adjusted the muzzles and fired dense shells at the bombers again. Seeing the dense fire, the fighter planes in front were much faster and one was shot down. The bombers were a little nervous. One bomber started to drop bombs from a distance and then quickly pulled up, while the other continued to dive in order to drop bombs accurately.

The dense artillery fire from the eight warships was now all concentrated on the bombers. Just as the bombers finished dropping their bombs and were taking off, there was a loud bang, and the bombers were blown up in mid-air, and huge fireballs scattered around the fleet.

A 2,000-ton destroyer was hit, a raging fire broke out on the deck, and water was leaking into the hull. The soldiers were putting out the fire and draining the water while closely monitoring the four planes in the sky.

"Good job!" Li Xiaojun waved his fist fiercely and quickly ordered: "Armed helicopters return to support the fleet! Try using RPG."

Li Xiaojun was filled with hatred. RPG was too unreliable to attack fighter jets. The J-6s in the autonomous region were clearly equipped with captured air-to-air missiles, but they could not fly over because the area was beyond the J-6's range.

The only remaining bomber began to dive again, but faced with several RPG shells that appeared, it panicked again, dropped the bombs before reaching the dropping point, and quickly took off and left the battlefield.

"Report, report, the enemy has anti-aircraft missiles! We must evacuate!"

The commander's roar came from the intercom, "You must launch another attack, or I will kill you."

Watching the four fighter planes dive again, Li Xiaojun couldn't understand why they were still so tenacious even though they had lost two fighter planes.

Li Xiaojun knew that if he wanted to completely defeat the enemy aircraft, he had to be ruthless. He decisively ordered: "Ready rockets, target fighters! Mass fire!"

Dense rockets were fired from the fleet, like dragons of fire, heading straight for the fighter group. The fighter pilots were also shocked, "Report, report, the enemy does have a large number of anti-aircraft missiles!"

While he was nimbly dodging the rocket attacks, he was also continuously firing bullets at the fleet, and looking in surprise at the "missiles" passing by him. As he was surprised, the fuselage shook violently, and a loud bang took away his doubts. Being distracted on the battlefield is fatal.

Li Xiaojun wiped his sweat, he was lucky. Two intensive rocket launches happened to shoot down a fighter jet. The other two fighter jets had already avoided it far away on the left and right. The bomber behind him was even more terrified. Another fighter jet was blown up in mid-air in front of him. This air force said it would not do this anymore and the right thing to do was to go back to work in civil aviation.

"Report, we have lost three fighter planes and are no longer able to fight. Please return."

The fighter pilot tiredly put down the walkie-talkie and circled far away. The two dense missile attacks just now were too scary. The range was extremely long, but for some reason the accuracy was not very good. Fortunately, he managed to save his life. This fleet was too insidious. They waited until the fleet was so close before launching missiles. He didn't even have time to think. He relied on instinct and good luck to escape.

Finally, a weak command came from the headset, "Return."

The battlefield finally quieted down. The deck of the frigate was covered with bullet holes. A destroyer was under emergency repair. The turret of another destroyer was also hit and was emitting black smoke. Fortunately, the enemy did not seem to care about the flagship. After all, it was unheard of that two bombers could seriously damage an aircraft carrier, especially since there was nothing on the deck. It would be useless to bomb it.

The enemy was probably targeting frigates and destroyers, and several Type 62 small gunboats miraculously remained intact.

Although the main warships were damaged, Li Xiaojun was still very excited. This was the first naval battle, and they actually defeated the air force. Although the enemy's fighter planes were not very good, flying slowly and with poor firepower, it was still the air force after all.

"Comrades!" Li Xiaojun's voice echoed in the communicator. "Just now, we used our firm belief and will to teach the arrogant air force a lesson. You are all great. This is a great victory. I am proud of you!"

The officers and soldiers of the fleet cheered and jumped to celebrate this hard-won victory. Li Xiaojun stood in the command room, his face also filled with the joy of victory.

"There is still a tough battle waiting for us. I believe you will repel the invading enemy once again. Now everyone should take the time to rest. The battle is expected to start in an hour."

"What? You took out the enemy fighter planes with rockets!"

Zhu Xuefeng was greatly surprised. He had never seen such a magical operation. No matter how slow the plane was, it was still a good plane.

"It's their fault for spreading them too close together. We fired twice in rapid succession and shot down one. The anti-aircraft guns killed two more. They all ran away." In the intercom, Li Xiaojun seemed somewhat proud of his stroke of genius.

"How are our casualties?"

"Six soldiers were killed, more than thirty were injured, and three battleships were damaged. They are still capable of fighting. One ship was seriously damaged and needs to go back to rest for repairs."

Zhu Xuefeng on the other end of the intercom was silent for a while before he gritted his teeth and issued the order.

"Blood debts must be repaid with blood! Every one of our soldiers is priceless. I order you to defeat the enemy fleet and destroy the enemy's military port! Can you do it?" Li Xiaojun on the other end of the intercom shuddered and subconsciously straightened his chest. "I guarantee that the mission will be completed! Please rest assured, commander!"

Zhu Xuefeng was not worried about the enemy's ships. A pseudo-aircraft carrier was still an aircraft carrier. Its defense was poor, but with countless rockets, its attack power was extremely strong. The enemy's fleet was children's play, without even a big one. This time, the damage had to be retaliated.

"Helicopter formation assemble!"

General Su had not yet figured out how to clean up the mess, as the other side actually had a large number of "missiles", causing the air force to return empty-handed. As he was walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, there was a loud bang, and thick smoke rose from the Parliament building in front of him.

"Damn it, they actually had the guts to attack a country's capital!"

Before he finished speaking, explosions rang out one after another around him. The guards quickly carried the general and rushed to the underground command post. A group of officers looked at each other in bewilderment. Only then did they realize that revenge was coming! They covered their heads and fled underground.

"How hateful! How hateful! When my army comes back, I will skin them alive." General Su was still cursing when the officer who was observing the situation outside came over to report.

"General, the enemy's armed helicopters entered the city, and the air force base outside the city was attacked fiercely, causing heavy losses. The specific data is still being counted, so it is not clear at the moment. The garrison camp was also attacked fiercely, and the casualties are also being counted."

General Su was stunned. "How did they manage to attack so many places at the same time when they only have about 200 people?"

The officer's face was also very ugly. "They launched a large number of missiles, and also launched a large number of missiles from the sea. We have no way to deal with it."

"Shut up, what's the problem? Are you still attacking now?"

The officer stood up straight after being scolded. "The attack has stopped, but the armed helicopters have entered the city and are hovering in the city. They will open fire if they see any soldiers resisting."

"Report to the general." Another officer came hurriedly to report.

"Tell me, has there been another attack?"

"Report to the general, our fleet, our fleet was attacked at sea."

"What's the situation?" General Su became alert. His fleet was almost twice the size of the enemy's, and the enemy only had a few helicopters. If he could destroy this fleet, all troubles would be solved.

The officer's face was very ugly. "The enemy's firepower is fierce, and their fleet is real! Our fleet was defeated by the enemy and withdrew to the naval port. Unexpectedly, the enemy openly entered our territorial waters and attacked the naval port with fierce missile attacks..."

General Su could imagine the tragic situation of the naval base under the baptism of missile rain. His eyes went dark and the continuous attacks made General Su unable to stand up anymore. He sat down. Is this the wrath of God? In just a few hours, just a few hours, the city's sea, land and air all suffered a devastating blow.

General Su was a little uneasy. The main force was out dealing with the rebels, leaving the city's defenses unattended. The garrison also seemed to have lost its combat effectiveness. Things seemed out of control. He tried hard to conceal his inner uneasiness and gave orders with a gloomy face.

"Su Mang, go talk to them. What exactly are they trying to do? We are a country with 85 million people. They only have 200 people. Do you think they can destroy our country? They didn't suffer any loss, but we suffered countless casualties!"

General Armand's face turned dark. This damn task fell on him again and he couldn't refuse it. The leader even started calling him by his name, which meant that he was extremely angry.

Being stared at by General Su, General Armand felt like a thorn in his back. He could only ride the jeep to the port in fear. Fortunately, the helicopter in the sky did not fire at him. When he saw the various compensation treaties, General Armand was dumbfounded.

"This is impossible, sir. This is blatant blackmail and an insult to a sovereign country. We cannot accept this."

General Armand's impotent anger only made the young man in front of him smile.

"General Armand, these are the bottom lines. I think you also understand that before you launched the attack, you did not suffer any losses, and not even one person was injured. All of this was caused by your active provocation, whether it was in the port or on the sea. This is undeniable, isn't it?"

Zhu Xuefeng sat calmly, looking at the anxious "general" in front of him. Now the armed helicopter was right under the enemy's nose, and the city seemed undefended. It was such a good opportunity, he must get the compensation he deserved. It was an eternal truth that he had to pay compensation after being defeated. Zhu Xuefeng decided to do things according to the rules.

"But all this happened since you invaded our harbor. We were only defending ourselves."

General Armand mustered up the courage to speak. This young man could actually put forward such harsh conditions on behalf of this inexplicable force. For the sake of face and to report back, General Armand had to let people know that he had tried his best.

"Oh, is that so? Our fleet was attacked on the high seas. Even if we go to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, your excuse does not seem to hold water."

"Of course, if you disagree, we don't mind making God's wrath even more violent."

This is a naked threat. General Su Mang's lips are trembling, but there is nothing he can do. Now General Su is helpless against the opponent's armed helicopters and endless missiles. What else can he do?

"That's right. I have long reminded Your Excellency the General that the wrath of God is not so easy to bear!" Colonel Alessandro added, his hand on the pistol at his waist.

"Losers don't have the right to bargain." Lieutenant Colonel Wayne said with a smile.

Looking at the dilapidated Parliament Building and the armed helicopters hovering unscrupulously in the air, General Su felt for the first time that he was just a paper tiger. The losses of the fleet were reported, half of the ships had lost their combat effectiveness, and the base was almost razed to the ground.

The Air Force also suffered heavy losses, with more than one-third of its fighter jets destroyed. Even worse, countless large holes were blown out on the runway, and no fighter jets could take off.

The situation of the garrison troops was better. Except for the bombing of the barracks and the explosives depot, there were not many casualties. However, the remaining several thousand people had no will to fight at all in the face of the missile rain that came and went without a trace and the armed helicopters that were armed to the teeth.
