When they arrived at the courtyard house and the celestial bridal chamber, they discovered it was a

Soon, upon learning the news, the soldiers of the elite Volunteer Army were greatly encouraged. Their expressions turned fierce, and they all volunteered to serve as the assault force, to annihilate Han Han's elite division, severely punish the murderers, defend the dignity of the motherland, and avenge their wounded comrades.

In a single day, the Zhisi Army assembled the superior forces of three armies, equipped with ample weapons, ammunition, artillery, and tanks, and rapidly advanced towards the three elite divisions of Hanhan's forces.

Zhou Zheng'an volunteered for the mission, but was refused.

Everyone felt that at this time, Zhou Zheng'an needed to stay in the negotiation area to ensure the safety of Deputy Director Long and other negotiators.

Zhou Zheng'an had no choice but to agree.

At this time, the 235th Division of the Long Live Army, as the vanguard, took the lead and marched rapidly toward the elite division's garrison in Hanhan.

The three elite divisions of Hanhan originally thought that with the support of the United States, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army would not dare to easily attack them. Therefore, while preparing for battle, they began to report to their superiors.

The superiors, and even the president, had no choice but to contact the US's representative on the island.

Clara stated that she was negotiating with the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and that it was not advisable to start a war at this time.

So Hanhan's side is completely stuck; without the US, they're useless.

Panic immediately gripped them; everyone was disoriented and filled with anxiety, with absolutely no confidence in fighting.

However, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army clearly wanted to annihilate them, so no matter what Hanhan's side did, they were definitely going to attack.

At this time, Zhou Zheng'an, in his capacity as a combat staff officer of the Volunteer Army Headquarters, suggested to the headquarters that under the current circumstances, it would be easy to eliminate Han Han's elite troops, but caution was needed because some members of the Volunteer Army might develop a fear of difficulty, be afraid of sacrifice, and be unwilling to fight again. He said that ideological education work needed to be done.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs did not quite understand Zhou Zheng'an's suggestion.

However, they trusted Zhou Zheng'an's judgment. Not to mention that Zhou Zheng'an had single-handedly rescued his captured comrades, blown up the US artillery base, successfully escorted Deputy Director Long, and thwarted a spy attack, his previous sniper campaign was also a factor, as was his statement that the US would end the sniper campaign and escalate the war.

Therefore, everyone in the company admired his bravery and meticulousness, and unconditionally trusted his judgment.

Therefore, a similar notice was immediately issued.

In truth, Zhou Zheng'an had no choice. In another timeline, a traitor had appeared here, betraying the Volunteer Army's specific combat plans, leading to heavy losses for the Long Live Army. But he couldn't say it outright; he could only offer similar suggestions.

Meanwhile, the Long Live Army, upon receiving a similar notification,

Ideological education work was quickly initiated, and security forces were strengthened. This prevented the traitor Gu Yuanyong from having the opportunity to defect. Ultimately, the Long Live Army achieved a great victory in this battle.

The person in charge looked puzzled. Like the directors and staff of the headquarters, he couldn't quite understand the headquarters' intentions, let alone why they would suddenly ask for ideological education work and increase security forces.

In his view, the soldiers of the Long Live Army were all warriors who had been tested on the battlefield. They were brave, fearless, and unafraid of sacrifice. It was impossible for them to have any fear of difficulties. Moreover, the internal secrecy of the army had always been done very well, and there had never been any problems.

"Commander, isn't this notification from the Volunteer Army Headquarters a bit redundant?" A staff officer walked up to the commander and said softly, his tone tinged with doubt.

"What kind of tough battles haven't our Long Live Army soldiers fought? We survived the brutal Battle of Shangganling. Now, facing the desolate remnants of the enemy, every soldier is eager to charge into battle. How could they possibly be afraid of difficulties? We've also been keeping a tight grip on secrecy, so there shouldn't be any problems."

The newly appointed Huang Anyang remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, his tone steady: "That's not how it works. Since the headquarters issued such a notice, they must have their reasons. Moreover, it was a suggestion made by Staff Officer Zhou Zheng'an. Staff Officer Zhou Zheng'an's judgment is very accurate."

"Since he made such a suggestion, he must have his concerns. We cannot take it lightly and must strictly follow the requirements of the General Headquarters to implement all tasks."

"Pass down the order: all units, while preparing for the battle, should also carry out ideological education. Each battalion commander and company commander should personally give speeches to soothe the soldiers' emotions, explain the importance of this battle, boost morale, and ensure that every soldier is determined to fight."

Huang Anyang spoke firmly, with an unquestionable commanding tone.

"At the same time, the guard battalion is ordered to increase its vigilance, expand its perimeter, and rigorously investigate suspicious personnel within the unit, especially those responsible for transmitting operational plans and having contact with core deployments; each of them must be investigated one by one..."

"Yes, Commander!" The staff officer immediately stood at attention and saluted, his tone firm, then turned and quickly relayed Huang Anyang's orders.

Soon, the battalions and companies of the Long Live Army assembled their troops and began ideological education work.

The soldiers stood neatly on the parade ground, their posture upright and their expressions solemn, listening attentively to the speeches of the battalion commander and company commander. The expressions on their faces gradually changed from initial doubt to determination.

"Comrades, the headquarters has issued a notice instructing us to carry out ideological education work. Some comrades may feel that this is unnecessary, thinking that our Long Live Army soldiers will never have any fear of difficulties or sacrifice."

A battalion commander stood in front of the troops, his tone serious and earnest, "I know that you are all outstanding. In the island war, we fought bloody battles, were not afraid of sacrifice, won honor for the Long Live Army, and made outstanding contributions to the motherland and the people."

"But we must also understand that war is cruel, and every battle may result in sacrifices... Everyone feels bad, and it's inevitable that we feel tired and sad. Now, we are about to embark on a new battle, and it's understandable that some comrades will think of their fallen comrades and feel a little apprehensive."

"Our Long Live Army won't do that! We will annihilate the enemy and achieve even more victories!"

As the battalion commander finished speaking, the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices loud and deafening, echoing throughout the entire camp: "Fight bravely against the enemy! Annihilate the enemy! Avenge our comrades! Defend our motherland!"

Amidst the shouts, there was no fear of difficulty, no retreat, only unwavering faith, high morale, hatred for the enemy, and a thirst for victory.

The ideological education work in each battalion and company is being carried out in an orderly manner. Battalion commanders and company commanders are using sincere words to soothe the soldiers' emotions and using impassioned speeches to boost their morale.

Every soldier was deeply moved, their beliefs grew stronger, and their expressions became more resolute.

They all expressed that they would definitely throw themselves into the battle without hesitation, fight bravely against the enemy, and annihilate Hanhan's elite division.

At the same time, the guard battalion of the Long Live Army also increased its vigilance and expanded its vigilance range.

They rigorously screened suspicious personnel within the unit, verifying the identity of each soldier one by one, especially those responsible for transmitting operational plans and having access to core deployments, whom they investigated with extra care.

All of this made one person anxious and uneasy. This person was Gu Yuanyong, a traitor within the Long Live Army.
