Chapter 303 1 Wishful thinking
Butler Berdwin's ambush plan, in which he would use himself as bait, was immediately met with strong approval and support from everyone present.
The meeting quickly got to the point, with the remaining high-ranking leaders of the anti-Qian forces on the Sand Island continent spending more than an hour actively discussing, supplementing, and refining various details of the ambush plan.
Butler Berdwin and his anti-government faction are prepared for a desperate battle.
This time, they must make their deaths a "meaningful" sacrifice—as long as they can keep the special forces of the Daqian Zhenguo Army that they have lured in, they will have died a worthy death!
Seeing the well-developed ambush plan, Butler Berdwin was filled with unprecedented confidence in the final battle of their anti-Qian coalition in the Sandbar.
In Butler Berdwin's view—although he had no way to lead the remaining forces of the Sandbar Anti-Gansu Alliance to escape their eventual annihilation.
However, I still have no problem leading the last forces of the anti-Qian coalition in Shazhou to carry out a "last stand" against the Daqian Zhenguo army!
After all, the armed anti-Qian elements under his command were all desperate criminals who had been driven to the brink of despair by the Daqian Zhenguo Army.
They were also very clear that, no matter what, the Daqian Zhenguo Army would not let them go.
Even if they voluntarily lay down their weapons and beg for mercy on their knees, it won't work!
Therefore, in this final battle arranged by Butler Baldwin, these two hundred-plus desperados will certainly give their all to settle things with the Daqian Zhenguo army.
On this issue, these people are absolutely in complete agreement.
As the saying goes, "Desperate situations often unleash even greater fighting power."
With the meticulously planned scheme of using himself as bait, Butler Berdwin firmly believed that once the Daqian Zhenguo Army took the bait, they would definitely wipe out the enemy's special forces team!
-------------------------------------
a few days later.
Within the territory of the Beisha Protectorate.
"Is the intelligence accurate?"
"Is it really Butler Berdwin, the leader of the anti-Qian coalition in Shazhou?"
"It's basically confirmed now."
"Moreover, according to intelligence, it's not just Butler Berdwin."
Gu Zhengqing, special intelligence liaison officer of the Beisha Protectorate, added: "Several other key members of the anti-Qian coalition who escaped the net will also appear here."
As he spoke, Gu Zhengqing pointed to the coordinates on the map: "Moreover, Butler Baldwin and his men did not have many guards with them."
"Because, according to the intelligence we have received, Butler Baldwin and others deliberately chose this place to hold their core meeting in order to avoid suspicion."
"And the number of participants was strictly limited."
"After all, the more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure."
"Under the current circumstances, Butler Baldwin's arrangement fully demonstrates his cunning and prudence."
Pang Dazhi, commander of the 12th Rapid Reaction Division, looked in the direction Gu Zhengqing pointed and asked, "Intelligence Officer Gu, have you found out the exact time of Butler Baldwin's meeting?"
“Tomorrow,” Gu Zhengqing said with certainty, “If the intelligence is correct—Butler Berdwin will arrive in this area first thing tomorrow morning.”
"Good!" Pang Dazhi slammed his hand on the table: "We've been looking for this Butler Baldwin for almost three months!"
"We've finally locked onto him this time!"
"That bastard's skills in hiding and escaping are really something. After hiding for so long, he won't be able to get away this time..."
"Commander Pang, do you mean—you want to capture Butler Baldwin alive?"
"Capture him alive?" Pang Dazhi shook his head with a smile: "I don't think there's any need to capture him alive."
"Although Butler Baldwin is listed as our number one wanted criminal in the Sandbar region, there's no need to make a fuss about him."
"The old rule still applies—there's no need to capture anti-government elements alive."
"Anyway, the identification of the deceased afterward will be the responsibility of your secret intelligence agency."
"You guys are the most professional at doing this kind of thing."
"Capturing him alive would be too much trouble."
"Secondly, it may cause unnecessary casualties."
"Therefore, whether from the perspective of efficiency or reducing casualties, this approach is unnecessary."
“I knew it…” Gu Zhengqing smiled and said, “Judging from Commander Pang’s tone just now, I thought he was going to give this Butler Berdwin special treatment.”
"Special treatment?" Pang Dazhi waved his hand: "Does he even deserve it?"
As he spoke, Pang Dazhi immediately instructed the communications officer beside him: "Pass on my order to have the missile units complete their maneuvers before dawn tomorrow and launch a comprehensive long-range strike on the target area based on the intelligence coordinates."
"Then notify the Air Force units to proceed with the 'secondary ground-washing' operation after the missile coverage is complete..."
"Commander Pang, your fighting style has indeed improved efficiency."
Gu Zhengqing smiled: "But it's not so easy for us when we're doing the screening..."
"Fortunately, it was only a screening of key figures like Butler Baldwin; otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to get this job done!"
"After you 'whitewashed' the scene, we often had to rely on small items left at the scene to trace the people's identities..."
"That's why I say you guys are professionals!" Pang Dazhi laughed. "Even when people are blown up, you still have a way to identify them. Regardless of the accuracy, your skills are absolutely top-notch!"
"........................"
"Alright! If we really manage to wipe out Butler Baldwin and his gang this time, our major cleanup operation on the sandbar will be basically complete."
Pang Dazhi rubbed his hands together: "In that case, our progress will be much faster than the other continents!"
"If we clean up this mess on the sandbar ahead of time, maybe we can go to other continents and find some new missions..."
-------------------------------------
the other side.
"Commander-in-Chief, the message has been sent out."
"By now, the Daqian Zhenguo Army should already know."
“Hmm!” Butler Berdwin nodded silently upon hearing this: “If nothing unexpected happens, the Daqian Zhenguo Army will definitely be present tomorrow.”
"Give the order to proceed according to plan."
With that, Butler Berdwin, the commander-in-chief of the anti-Qian coalition in Shazhou, looked around at his men and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow will be the last battle for our anti-Qian coalition in Shazhou."
"There are some things I don't need to say, and everyone should already know very well—after this battle, the Shazhou Anti-Qian Allied Army will be completely a thing of the past."
"Tens of thousands of anti-Qian warriors were wiped out without even killing a single Qian soldier. This is a great disgrace to our Shazhou Anti-Qian Allied Army!"
"However, this does not mean that our Shazhou Anti-Drought Alliance is a rabble, nor does it mean that this result is due to the incompetence of our Shazhou Anti-Drought Alliance!"
"On the contrary—our Sandbar Anti-Dragon Alliance is undoubtedly one of the strongest anti-Dragon organizations in the world!"
Butler Baldwin sighed with utter helplessness, "We were just born at the wrong time..."
"We are not a rabble, it's just that—the Great Qian Zhenguo Army we are facing is simply too powerful!"
"What's more, the despicable and shameless people of Qian State also used indiscriminate attacks."
"They're even more shameless than scoundrels!"
"Especially that Shen Moshen!"
"The Qian Kingdom under Shen Moshen's rule is a complete rogue state!"
"Faced with an incredibly powerful and ruthless armed force, the fate of our Shazhou Anti-Qian United Army has already been sealed."
"However, what I want to say is that although the enemy is incredibly powerful and shameless, our Shazhou Anti-Qian Allied Army will still use our actions to defend our last dignity and our determination to fight the Qian people to the death!"
"Tomorrow, we will lure the arrogant and conceited people of Qian Kingdom into our ambush."
"This time, we must make the Daqian Zhenguo Army taste the bitter fruit of defeat!"
"We will use our lives and the courage to fight to the bitter end to tell the people of Qian Kingdom that even if they try to exterminate us, they will not be able to stop our fighting spirit and determination!"
"Tomorrow, I will personally lead you in the final battle against the Qian people."
"If things go wrong, I will not hesitate to press the remote detonator in my hand."
"As soon as I press the remote detonator, this place will be reduced to ruins."
"Tomorrow—please enjoy the fun of the hunt to the fullest."
"The detonator in my hand is just our last trump card."
"If we are lucky enough, after eliminating the vanguard of the Qian Kingdom, we might be able to lure a second enemy force into the ambush."
"If we detonate the bomb at that time, we will inflict a second devastating blow on the people of Qian!"
"I believe that in tomorrow's battle, we will let the arrogant Qian people experience what despair truly means!"
"Tomorrow—we only have one task."
"That is—to kill every enemy we can see!"
Butler Baldwin raised his arms and gave a pre-battle pep talk to his men.
Butler Berdwin's words fully stirred the fervor of the more than two hundred anti-Gansu armed forces.
They raised their weapons and responded enthusiastically to Butler Berdwin.
If they weren't worried about being exposed by firing shots, these people would definitely not hesitate to vent their fanaticism and hatred-filled fighting spirit by firing shots!
Butler Berdwin looked at his men with great satisfaction—now, these two hundred-plus anti-government militants were like two hundred bloodthirsty beasts.
He knew that he had ignited the incredibly fervent fighting spirit within his own ranks.
Butler Berdwin was absolutely certain that under these circumstances, as long as the special forces of the Daqian Zhenguo Army dared to come, no matter how elite the enemy's special forces were, they would all perish here!
"Have the bombs been planted?"
After completing his pre-battle mobilization, Butler Baldwin once again checked with his adjutant on the bomb placement.
"Absolutely no problem, I've checked it several times."
The adjutant replied affirmatively, "All the bombs have been placed in place."
"Once detonated, the area within a radius of dozens of miles will be reduced to ruins!"
"Good!" Butler Baldwin shouted again, raising his arms. "Brothers, let's have a good drink today!"
"Consider this a farewell toast!"
"However, in order to ensure that tomorrow's operation is not affected, everyone should still control their alcohol intake according to their own capacity and not get drunk!"
"After all, we need to be in top form for the ambush tomorrow morning."
"If you lose your aim because you're drunk, it would be a huge loss."
"I won't say much else—everyone, eat and drink well today, and take care of yourselves."
"Tomorrow morning, let's fight the Qian people to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end..."
The fanatical anti-government militants chanted in unison the slogans of Butler Berdwin.
"Bring out all the canned food and drinks. Let the brothers eat their fill and have a good meal today, our last meal together!"
Butler Berdwin then gave instructions to his adjutant.
"Yes!"
After saying that, Butler Berdwin turned to look at the other key figures of the Sandbar Anti-Gansu Alliance and smiled: "We can drink a lot today."
"I know none of you are bad drinkers!"
"Commander-in-Chief, with the brothers' fighting spirit so high, I think we will definitely surprise the Qian people in tomorrow's battle."
"It's time to teach the Qian people a lesson. The Great Qian Zhenguo Army is a bunch of complete scoundrels—the reason they are so powerful is entirely because they have an absolute advantage in long-range weapons."
"Once they get close, who knows what kind of ridiculous things these scoundrels who only know how to bully people by relying on their weapon advantage will do!"
"That's right—as long as the Qian people don't cheat, their so-called special forces might not be a match for us!"
"You're wrong—you should change 'not necessarily' to 'certainly'!"
"Without suppressive fire, they are no match for us!"
"Do you think the people of Qian Kingdom might not dare to come at all?"
"Won't they, out of fear of increasing casualties, resort to long-range firepower as they always have?"
Just as others were boasting about their own fighting strength and belittling the Daqian Zhenguo Army, someone suddenly brought this up.
...........................
After a brief silence, someone immediately expressed disdain for such concerns: "Impossible, the Qian people will definitely not let this opportunity pass them by."
"Our commander-in-chief and all of us—aren't we high-value targets that the Daqian Zhenguo Army dreams of capturing?"
"This time we're giving it to them as a package deal; they can't possibly resist!"
