The other party just wanted to use this information to exchange for a place to live, and this transaction would not be a loss to Zhou Jiping.

The envoy's affairs were left unresolved, but Zhou Jiping and others could not rest anymore. If the situation Zola provided was true, then he would start preparing now.

Zhou Jiping first contacted Sfinson through the radio station and informed him that the envoy sent by Songbo had sneaked into the assassin. He told him that Songbo's affairs might have known about Masu Ali, and he was probably prepared for a long time. Therefore, Zhou Jiping asked him to pay attention to the cooperation with Songbo, not too close, otherwise it would be affected. In addition, Zhou Jiping also asked Sfinson to borrow Songbo's affairs and quickly make some moves within the Northern Army. It would be best that Masu Ali could not even save a piece of grain, and of course, Zhou Jiping also had to communicate with Huang Pihu in these matters.

However, in formulating a combat plan to fight Masu Ali's counterattack the next day, Zhou Jiping still encountered some minor troubles - there were not enough military staff members

Zhou Jiping's men were already nervous. Anka, Zubei, Zhong Wei and Xiang Hui each performed their duties. Huang Pihu was in charge of Soyo, except for that, there was only one Ferro who had just been voted in Soyo. Soyo was also an announcer of the Battlefield Star Zorick, but he followed Elder Muba to Soyo. But after all, he was a "friendly army". Zhou Jiping really couldn't treat it as his family to use military talents that could be used now, and Zhou Jiping himself was left. This made Zhou Jiping very distressed. After all, these things were too complicated. He did everything himself, and it was inevitable that he would miss it.

Helplessly, Zhou Jiping still had the old way, and called a few prisoners he had just obtained: Duffy, Xijie and others to the scene of the combat meeting, hoping that they could help him. In addition, the lieutenant Uribe, under Ferro, was considered an "old man" at this time, and was even called by Zhou Jiping to him, as if he was a confidant.

Faced with two counterattack teams from more than two regiments of the enemy, the Free Army had to divide its troops to fight one of the main forces to fight the opponent and took it away from the main battlefield; the other one copied Masu Ali's supply-keeping convoy, and if you can grab it, you can burn it if you can't grab it.

Dividing troops means that at least two commanders Zhou Jiping's vision of finding his deputy was necessary, and he had to fall on the former arms expert and later anti-war figure, Mr. François.

"François (the nickname of François), you have to take on more important tasks. You cannot refuse. If we want to win this war, you must go on the court!" Zhou Jiping did not give François a chance to speak, and his tone was unquestionable, like a merchant who forced to buy and sell. "And, only when you start to gain military power can you better supervise me to fulfill the gentleman agreement between us."

François naturally understood the current situation, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

Then, Zhou Jiping appointed Duffy and Xijie as his staff, and was responsible for the specific formulation of the combat plan with Uribe. Duffy and Uribe are brothers, so naturally they would not refuse Xijie. He also agreed to Zhou Jiping's appointment on the premise that his name would not be published and could ensure the safety of his family.

Until dawn, Zhou Jiping, François and others were studying specific combat plans. After dawn, the Free Army was ordered to divide the troops.

Along the supply line of the Northern Army, scouts from all tribes were sent out to monitor the movements of the Northern Army. Although the Northern Army had extremely strict defenses on the remaining supply line, the mobilization of thousands of troops and the actions of a supply convoy could not be concealed.

The news came soon, around 8 o'clock in the morning, the Northern Army's supply convoy crossed the Natney River...

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the Northern Army facing the northern defense line of the Free Army began to move abnormally, and large troops were gathering...

At 11:00 a.m., the Northern Army had its first meal of the day, and the atmosphere on the battlefield became tense...

At 11:30 in the morning, Sfinson called: Speaker Songbo was shot dead in front of the parliamentary gate. At the same time, fierce fighting occurred in many places in the capital Sanga City. The guards loyal to Masuali had a fierce exchange of fire with unidentified armed forces. As the news was sent, the fire exchange had been transferred outside Sanga City. Masuali's army had basically controlled the situation in the capital...

Although Sfinson's underground intelligence network and armed forces also suffered some losses, because Sfinson had maintained a certain distance from Songbo and withdrawn from some locations in time at critical moments, his overall loss of power was not large, and only about a quarter of the force promoted the contact.

At 130 p.m., the Northern Army began shelling the Free Army on the front, and the battle began.

This was a real and formal ground battle, and it was also the most numerous and most intense firefighting between the two sides after the Civil War began.

After more than twenty minutes of fire attacks with mortars and howitzers, the Northern Army launched a rush to attack the positions stationed by the Southern Union with some light tanks and armored vehicles.

The war was caught in the beginning of the fierce battle between the Free Army's defenders' large-caliber mortars, automatic howitzers launched fierce battles with the attacking Northern Army for more than 40 minutes. After launching several attacks and losing a number of tanks and armored vehicles, the Northern Army still failed to move forward half a step forward.

Seeing that the frontal defense of the Free Army was extremely tough, the commander of the Northern Army suddenly adjusted the combat plan. Two small units of company-level size took infantry fighting vehicles and trucks, bypassed the frontal Free Army positions, and launched a roundabout attack behind the defenders.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the defenders of the Free Army quickly gave up the front line position that they had been holding for a long time, and also took the truck to retreat south voluntarily.

Seeing this, the commander of the Northern Army was overjoyed and hurriedly led his army to chase after him. However, after more than ten minutes of chasing, the vanguard was suddenly attacked by the defenders of the second line of defense laid down by the Free Army. Some slackened pursuing troops suffered heavy casualties.

As the subsequent troops arrived, the two sides fell into fierce battles for several rounds. The commander of the Northern Army used his old tricks again and sent mobile forces to detour behind the defenders.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the tribal armed forces quickly collapsed, and most of them retreated to the south and westward direction. The Northern Army once again chased after him. Soon after, they encountered an ambush again.

Helplessly, the Northern Army once again fought fiercely with the defenders. However, at this time, the vanguard gradually discovered that the defenders' weapons and equipment, as well as the quality of soldiers and fighting will, were much worse than the previous two lines of defense, and seemed not to be the main force.
