Chapter 2585: Night of war

Conan nodded, "Isn't that what we want? If they stick to it, we will definitely pay more casualties if we want to capture Alkane. And they take the initiative to counterattack. We didn't just use this opportunity to consume their vital power. Huh?"
The Red Baron groaned and stood up suddenly and said, "No! It won't be that simple. Let's go to the front line. You must see the situation there for yourself to determine what the other party wants to do." He strode out. At the command post, the other armed chiefs of the secret society hurriedly followed behind him.
In the southern area, a large number of Anmore troops have been assembled. Lin Rui watched the fierce exchange of fire on the distant front and whispered in a low voice, "The counterattack has begun, and it's time for us to act. Let's go, target the Eastern Zone."
The O2 team members nodded and got into the car. This force, which was led by Black Island mercenaries as the assault forward, followed the relatively calm south and headed straight to the eastern area of ​​Alkahn controlled by the secret society. The eastern zone was originally occupied by the secret society and was relatively calm, and the defenders here have also penetrated into the middle of Alkane, resulting in a relatively weak defense zone. The defenders of the secret society here did not expect to be attacked suddenly and immediately asked for help from the headquarters of the secret society.
"This is the second line of defense in the Eastern Zone. The enemy forces suddenly attacked. We are short of manpower and can no longer withstand their offensive." The small leader of the secret society defending army kept calling the secret society command post.
"Now the enemy has stepped up its offensive everywhere, not just where you are. The pressure on the central and western areas is heavier than you, and it is temporarily impossible to mobilize reinforcements. You can only rely on yourself for now." The command post responded.
"But we are in a critical situation here!" shouted the little leader of the secret society defender. But the sound of gunfire and explosions completely covered his voice. At this time, the secret agency command post was receiving information from various battle reports, and there was fierce fighting everywhere, not just in the eastern zone. As an occupied area, this is not the main point of attack for the secret society armed forces, so there is no timely response to the request for help here.
But this inadvertent delay caused the defense of the Eastern Zone to be penetrated in a short time. The O2 team led by Lin Rui quickly assaulted several key road nodes that had already been occupied before most of the defenders of the Eastern District could react.
After firing and killing several secret agency defenders, Lin Rui stood in the car and turned around and shouted, "Separate operations, according to the previous plan, to take over the enemy's communications, control the eastern main road, and guide the subsequent evacuation of the convoy. "
The armed trucks of the mercenaries quickly occupied the outpost nodes along the way and reported the fighting situation to the secret agency headquarters with false information. Claiming that the fighting situation is already under control and no support is needed. In fact, the fighting in the entire Eastern District did not attract much attention in the raging fighting in other regions at this moment.
The battle in the eastern zone started and ended the same, quickly and suddenly. After clearing out a small number of defenders, the mercenaries immediately occupied the main intersection and were responsible for commanding the subsequent convoy to retreat along the road.
One side of Alkahn city was fighting hard, but the other side was quietly evacuating. All the vehicles turned off their lights, quickly and quietly withdrew to the outside of the city along the road at the edge of the east, and then went east along the road outside the city. A large number of soldiers and equipment from the Fifth Army and the Second Army evacuated through this road to the east border.
During the period, the secret agency command post also inquired about the situation of the Eastern District several times, and they were all blocked by mercenaries who had already occupied the Eastern District. Coupled with the fierce fighting in other locations, Alkahn East has become a corner temporarily forgotten.
The Red Baron rushed to the front, and after witnessing several suicidal counter-attacks by the Anmore Army, the serious anxiety began to make him restless. There must be a reason why the Anmore Army suddenly did this! No single force would launch such a desperate suicide charge for no reason. They must have a purpose in doing this, but what is the purpose?
The Red Baron turned and looked at the map, and there were reports of firefights throughout the city of Alkahn. The Middle Road and West District are even more intense, except in the East District, which seems to be quieter than other locations. Although I have received warnings of attacks in the Eastern District before, it seems that the situation has been brought under control.
"Is it the sound of the east hitting the west?" Red Baron muttered, "Through the fierce firefight between the west and the middle road, we divert our sight from the east? But what is special about the east? It has been occupied by our side, except for the power generation that has been destroyed. The factory, there is no more important strategic goal. It is necessary to fight desperately in other positions to cover the action to seize the Eastern District? What if they take the Eastern District? This is totally meaningless. ."
"Baron!" Someone hurried over and grabbed the Red Baron's arm. "There is a problem with the enemy's strategic deployment! They must be trying to hide their true purpose!"
The Red Baron looked back and saw that it was Marklovsky, the strategist of the secret society. He came from the Orumi Federation and just arrived on the battlefield. He didn't expect to have come to the front so soon.
"It's you?" The Red Baron frowned. "Then tell me, what is their real purpose?"
"So far, all the enemy's actions seem to prove one thing, that is, they have an attempt to the Eastern Zone. Their counterattack is more like a cover for making a big splash." Makovsky said solemnly.
The Red Baron walked on the trail, "I have considered this, but what is the point of their seizure of the Eastern District at the moment? A position that does not have any strategic significance, why did they spend such a large amount of money? This time the main counterattack, but the first Kassan’s two trusted troops of the Fifth Army. Kassan highly valued the two troops. Even in order to preserve these two troops, he fled on the battlefield many times and became a famous fleeing general. He would value himself most. Are the two troops of the country sacrificed?"
"Anything has a price. His willingness to sacrifice his two confidant troops also shows that he is attempting to be bigger." Maqlovsky said with a grim expression.
The Red Baron looked at the map and suddenly turned around and said, "How long ago was the time when the enemy appeared and exchanged fire in the Eastern District?"
"Two hours ago, but it lasted for a short time, the situation was under control." A secret agency leader replied.
"Crap!" The Red Baron's face changed suddenly, "We made a mistake. The Anmore Army's occupation of the Eastern Zone really has no strategic significance, but what if they didn't want to occupy the Eastern Zone in the first place?"
"What does the baron mean?" Conan was taken aback.
"Break through! They're going to give up Alkane and break through eastward!" The Red Baron sternly shouted, "Take someone and follow me to the Eastern District! Right away!"
