Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

"When our local soldiers from Dongzhou fought against them, it was like being attacked from a lower dimension."

"The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was shot down by them minutes earlier, and the monitoring system was practically useless—by the time the equipment reacted, the encirclement had already been formed. This time, the enemy came prepared and acted extremely quickly. From the time we discovered the anomaly to the time we were surrounded, the whole process took no more than two minutes."

Even Jiang Chen was shocked upon hearing this report.

This time, the enemy clearly came with a "decapitation strike" mission, and their target was themselves.

The squadron leader's judgment was correct, and Jiang Chen himself realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although the command post had over four thousand personnel, the majority were local troops from Dongzhou. Their training level and military prowess were several levels below those of UN special forces. Moreover, it's highly likely that US special forces were mixed in with these enemy troops.

Jiang Chen believed that the enemy must have deployed their most elite special forces, which were extremely experienced in evading reconnaissance and surveillance. Being surrounded now wasn't entirely unexpected.

To Jiang Chen's surprise, the enemy had deployed such a large-scale special forces force this time, almost equivalent to a small legion, and composed of elite soldiers in a special combat unit. In comparison, his own defending troops were indeed inadequate.

"Bring me the binoculars, I want to see the situation for myself."

Jiang Chen gave the order sternly. Huang Long quickly handed over the prepared binoculars.

After observing for only a short while, Jiang Chen was shocked—the number of enemy special forces far exceeded expectations, with over a thousand personnel, including those from the United States and the United Nations. Their combat skills and individual combat abilities were absolutely not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, the enemy's target was clear: a decapitation strike. Their tactical intent was crystal clear. At this moment, a large number of personnel had already flooded into the command post area, making it difficult even for Jiang Chen to distinguish friend from foe—special forces are masters of disguise and infiltration.

This means that Jiang Chen is currently in an extremely dangerous situation.

"We really miscalculated this time; it turns out the enemy's trump card was hidden here."

"Their main force is not at the front line at all; those are just decoys used to tie down our main force."

"My ultimate goal has always been me."

"These people are truly incorrigible."

Even Jiang Chen felt somewhat helpless at this moment. The assembly of thousands of top special forces was no easy feat, but the United Nations had actually accomplished it, right under Jiang Chen's nose.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was the most dangerous moment Jiang Chen faced. The enemy had adopted a rapid encirclement tactic, completing their deployment ten kilometers from the command post. When the general offensive began, they used chemical weapons—weapons that are indeed extremely insidious, capable of rendering the defending troops incapable of fighting and turning them into sitting ducks without them even realizing it.

Its power is comparable to that of heavy artillery shells, and it can also unexpectedly distract the enemy. Although international conventions explicitly prohibit the use of chemical weapons, it is clear that the enemy has disregarded these rules.

Unfortunately, in real war, when a country is driven to the brink, any weapon capable of inflicting damage on the enemy will be used. Those so-called international conventions are nothing but empty words in the face of life and death.

Under the overwhelming force of a powerful enemy, conventions have no binding effect. Whatever weapons are used, the enemy will use them anyway. In a life-or-death struggle, who cares about convention clauses? The principle of using any means necessary to achieve victory is not just empty rhetoric, but a reality that every country may face in extreme circumstances.

Of course, the Dragon Kingdom would never do such a thing. And for Jiang Chen, there was no need to resort to such methods.

"Battalion Commander Jiang, we need to evacuate immediately!"

"With so many of us, we can definitely fight our way out for you."

"Where there is life, there is hope."

"We can split into several small teams and break out separately, taking advantage of the chaos to slip through the gaps in the enemy lines."

"With our current strength, it is indeed difficult to contend with these well-trained special forces."

Huang Long anxiously tried to persuade him from the side.

He knew perfectly well that the enemy's swift encirclement of the command post indicated they were well-prepared. Their determination to carry out a decapitation strike should not be underestimated. Right now, as long as Jiang Chen could safely evacuate, the battle would be won. The loss or gain of a single command post was insignificant.

"These people really went to great lengths this time."

"The fact that they've gone to such lengths to surround our command post shows that the United Nations is not to be underestimated."

"It has indeed put a lot of pressure on me."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, his eyes showing no panic or helplessness, as if everything was already within his expectations, and even this step was calculated by him.

……

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Moska Dink, our rear infiltration team has reported that they have successfully completed the encirclement of the Dongzhou Command Post and have routed over a thousand of the defenders. The remaining guards are now in complete disarray and are no match for us. We expect to capture the command post soon, and Jiang Chen will have no chance of escape."

"Their air vehicles are all concentrated on the front lines, with no air support from the rear."

Meanwhile, inside the UN headquarters, a reconnaissance officer was reporting the battle situation to Commander-in-Chief Moska Dink. Other high-ranking UN officials were also gathered there—after all, this was the last major counterattack, and failure was not an option; therefore, everyone was taking it very seriously.

They had devised meticulous plans before the battle to prevent another defeat. Now, it appears everything is proceeding as expected. This decapitation operation was lengthy, with each step carefully designed.

For example, Jiang Chen's likely escape route would primarily be via airships. Once the enemy uses airships to escape, the encirclement would become meaningless, and the decapitation strike would become a laughing stock. Secondly, reinforcements would be crucial, which is also a key area of ​​focus for them.

However, before the operation began, they had already obtained all the intelligence on Dongzhou through the satellite radar system of the US Space City. All information was verified by real-time imaging, which was key to the smooth progress of the operation.

Reconnaissance revealed that all three hovercraft were present on the main battlefield, and apart from the more than four thousand local Dongzhou garrison troops behind Jiang Chen, there were no other reinforcements. These soldiers were relatively weak in combat skills and overall capabilities. Only after thorough evaluation was the decapitation strike plan finally determined.

In retrospect, this plan has proven remarkably effective.

"Hehe, you all did a great job. This time we can finally give an account to our superiors."

"To say something arrogant that I wouldn't normally dare to say—I really don't know how I could have lost this battle today."

Moska Dink rarely showed a relaxed expression. In previous battles, he had seemingly secured victory, only to be overturned at the last moment, which was incredibly frustrating. While luck played a part, this time, no matter how much luck Jiang Chen had, he couldn't escape this inescapable trap.

Breaking through the encirclement of over a thousand special forces soldiers is no easy task. Even if Jiang Chen concentrates his forces to break out, there is absolutely no chance of success—the outer perimeter troops have already laid minefields and laid snipers in ambush, ready to open fire as soon as a target is spotted.

They had initially intended to capture Jiang Chen alive, but after their previous encounters, they realized this was no longer feasible. Since they couldn't obtain his mind, their only option was to eliminate him completely. Otherwise, this man's influence on the global landscape was simply too great.

"Haha, Commander-in-Chief, you're too modest." "To be honest, Jiang Chen has absolutely no chance of winning against us."

"We have assembled all the elite branches of the United Nations military."

"That's right, so what if he's good? It's really hard for him to lose this time. We just need to wait for good news."

Suddenly remembering something, Moska Dink looked at the virtual map of the real-time battle situation with slight annoyance.

Although the rear infiltration plan was executed smoothly, the situation on the front lines was not optimistic.

The opponent's 131 offensive and defensive formation made it very difficult for the UN forces to fight.

The UN's current tactic is to break through at single points and wear down the firepower on the Eastern Front—after all, the previous "bomb armor" had left a deep impression on them, making them famous overnight, as if they had an inexhaustible supply of explosives. Even with the UN's numerical advantage, they cannot withstand such relentless bombardment.

However, it appears that the commander on the Eastern Front is highly experienced in combat and can deploy troops in a flexible and adaptable manner, leading to a continuous reduction in UN frontline forces from 150,000 to 110,000. If this continues, the frontline will soon be unable to hold out.

Therefore, the decapitation operation must be completed as soon as possible. Once the rear is secured, Dongzhou will inevitably fall into disarray without command, and the enemy will retreat on its own without even a strong attack.

"Now we just hope the decapitation operation can end as soon as possible, otherwise our losses on the front lines will be too great."

Moska Dink sighed softly. These battles, in total, have resulted in the United Nations losing over 200,000 troops in the Eastern Continent—an extremely large number, one that no country could sustain for long.

From a historical perspective, losing 200,000 soldiers may not be the most, but the United Nations suffered so many casualties in just half a month, and each large-scale battle resulted in heavy losses, which it simply could not afford to continue.

"Jiang Chen, what happened? Why does it sound like a fight is going on around us? And it sounds really intense."

At this moment, Meng Tianshi rushed out of the office, found Jiang Chen, and spoke nervously.

"The enemy has launched a decapitation strike, and I am their target."

"But don't worry, go back to work and try not to go out during this time."

"I can control the situation. If we really encounter the enemy, do not resist. They will not make things difficult for you."

Jiang Chen looked at Meng Tianshi and said calmly. He still harbored special feelings for this woman and naturally did not want to see her suffer any misfortune.

"Are you in danger? I want to be with you."

"I've been through dangerous situations before, so I'm not afraid."

"I'll say it again—if I'm captured by the enemy, they'll only get my corpse."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and gently hugged her. In the past, he might have dismissed her words, but after everything that had happened, he knew she was serious.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright. Go back to your office and get back to work. Once this crisis is over, I'll take you back to Space City."

"Since you are my woman, that place can be considered your second home."

Meng Tianshi was slightly taken aback, then smiled. Although Jiang Chen had acknowledged her identity before, this time his tone was exceptionally sincere, clearly moved by her, no longer minding past grievances, and truly regarding her as someone close to him.

"Okay, I will be good and stay in the office. I won't go anywhere."

Jiang Chen gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Good girl, that's right. Go back now."

The sounds of gunfire grew closer, and the enemy gradually tightened their encirclement. Huang Long grew increasingly tense—he never worried about his own safety, but Jiang Chen absolutely could not fall into enemy hands, or everything would be lost.

"Battalion Commander Jiang, what should we do now? The enemy is surrounding us from all sides, and we can't break through at all!"

Jiang Chen looked at him with some surprise: "Who said I was going to leave? This is my territory."

Just then, a squad leader rushed in to report:

"Something's wrong! The enemy has stormed the command post, and Minister Nong Huiyun is still inside!"

Jiang Chen frowned—the enemy was moving faster than expected. Nong Huiyun absolutely could not be harmed; she was a crucial core member.

"Huang Long, you immediately organize the remaining troops to launch a counterattack. I'm going to rescue Nong Huiyun, and then we'll fight together."

"This time, we must annihilate the invading enemy."

"Understood! Since the battalion commander has made a decision, I will resolutely carry it out!"

At this moment, inside the headquarters, Nong Huiyun's location was not far from Jiang Chen's floor.

However, Jiang Chen dared not act rashly, because he could not distinguish which of his surroundings were enemies and which were friendly forces. This special forces unit was indeed well-trained; they had already changed into the same uniforms as the garrison.

Jiang Chen had already spotted two imposters, but since he himself wasn't wearing a battalion commander's uniform and was instead dressed as an ordinary soldier, they didn't attack him. Clearly, their core objective remained the decapitation strike—eliminating Jiang Chen was the only goal. Their strategy was very clear.

Jiang Chen deduced that the enemy had likely already completely surrounded the headquarters. If he were to rashly go to rescue Nong Huiyun at this moment, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
-
"Who exactly are you people? What do you want?"

Nong Huiyun was completely panicked at this moment. She was originally in the command center carrying out her work according to Jiang Chen's arrangements, maintaining real-time contact with the space city, transmitting important intelligence in a timely manner, and reporting the latest developments of the space city to Jiang Chen.

But as she turned around, she saw a group of people dressed in Dongzhou military uniforms barging in. However, Nong Huiyun quickly noticed something was amiss—these soldiers didn't look like locals from Dongzhou, and more importantly, their eyes were icy cold and filled with murderous intent, as if they didn't exist. They stormed into the command post and began searching around.

If they were truly soldiers from Dongzhou, they would never be so audacious as to trespass into Jiang Chen's command post and ransack his property. Nong Huiyun knew in her heart that these people must be enemies, and they were after Jiang Chen.

As the Minister of Information, Nong Huiyun possessed keen judgment and almost instantly discerned the other party's true intentions.

"Where is Battalion Commander Jiang Chen? We have urgent military information to report to him."

"The outside world is full of enemies, and the situation is critical. This is the only way we can get in."

"It's too dangerous here; we must escort him to safety." (End of Chapter)
