Chapter 482: Season 2 Book 19 New China’s Participation in War – 5-4 Stand By
January 4th, 2024, 02:10 (New China ti: 01:10)
Outside the northeast end of Industrial Complex 15, Beichen District, Tianjin, New China
The sounds of gunshots and laser beams firing were constantly heard in the vicinity of Area 15 and occasionally, huge explosions occurred, brightening Tianjin’s night sky.
The less than 300 Red Barn Swallow mbers were defending the area outside the factory area, where rescue operations were in full swing, using their advantageous street fighting strategies and tactics.
On the other hand, the Tianjin Defense Command Departnt seed to gather all the troops of the mobilization division and they flocked to the factory area of District 15.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Kang Min-joon, who was receiving reports from the regional commanders of the 707 Special Brigade engaged in the street fight about the appearance of the New China army, gave the order to sortie the MV-100 Skybus to join in the fight as well.
If even one sky bus was to be shot down during the battle, a major problem could arise during the retreat, but that was a problem for the future. The top priority now was to ensure that the engineers could safely rescue the personnel who needed to be rescued.
As such, the 20 CMV-100 sky buses, excluding the command and dical sky buses, took off one at a ti, making loud whooshing sounds. They quickly activated TCS mode and flew over the city to join the fight.
The main mission of the CMV-100 Sky bus, which was outfitted with a hover system, was to transport personnel and various equipnt after infiltrating the enemy camp using TCS mode. However, it was also outfitted with several self-fighting weapons.
There were about 20 tube launchers ard with 50-milliter activated carbon bombs equipped on both sides, and an 8-milliter Vulcan laser at the front of the lower end.
With the CMV-100 sky buses being dispatched to assist in the street fight, the only forces left to defend the factory area were Foreign Intelligence agents and approximately 40 ard engineers, excluding the engineers operating the heavy equipnt.
They used the fence as a cover, it was their last line of defense.
A laser light flashed through the dense yellow dust, causing continuous explosions in the area where the CMV-100 sky buses flew.
The CMV-100 sky buses that flew along the road between the buildings seed to have launched a full-fledged support attack.
In the last hour, the Capital Heavy Armored Assault Squadron, which flew in the sky flashing from east to west in the front line, and the 707 Special Task Force were performing ambush attacks while in TCS mode. Besides that, the CMV-100 Skybus Squadron, which spewed out powerful firepower, gave it their all in the street fight. However, due to their nurical limitations, they were unable to completely obstruct the New Chinese Army, which was swarming the small alleys.
As a result, so of the New China soldiers were able to approach 50 ters from the fence, carrying AK-74 rifles.
“Many enemies have appeared at azimuth angle 0-8-5!” An engineer who identified the soldiers through his shield glasses reported through the communication network.
In response, the foreign intelligence agents and the ard engineers, who were waiting inside the fence, fired at once.
The red laser beams poured out from the fence and toward the New China soldiers who had just escaped from the alley and were looking for cover.
Each of them curled up on the floor, shrieking and covering their chest, abdon, and face, which had been pierced by the laser beam.
The New Korean infantry who were running in behind fired indiscriminately at the fence as they saw their colleagues in the lead rolling on the floor.
“Aha! There are a lot.”
Team Leader Youn Tae-jin, who was leaning under the partially ripped fence due to the gunshots, raised his face and looked through his shield glasses at the situation ahead.
There were clusters of brightly colored figures with various personal firearms coming from the various alleys connected to the main road in front of the fence.
Bullets hit the top of the fence, where team leader Youn Tae-jin had raised his head.
“Oh!”
Team Leader Yoon Tae-jin, who bowed his head at that mont, breathed a sigh of relief and spoke through the communication network.
“Everyone, be careful! They are at least at an interdiate level!”
“I think the team leader should be more careful. Haha!”
Assistant manager, Oh Hyuck-soo, who was shooting at a close distance, smiled and replied as if he had seen what had just happened.
“You! Instead of focusing on , just take care of what’s in front of you.”
“Yes, yes. Even without your advice, I’m still shooting.”
anwhile, the excavator, which had dug 40 ters deep inside the factory area, ca to a halt for a brief mont, and several rescue engineers rushed down. They had the impression that they had found sothing. And as such, the rescue work was nearing its completion.
“What is it? Did you find them?” Team Leader Park Gi-oong approached Captain Ahn Sang-hee and asked.
“Yes, it seems that they are just below the steel structure.”
“Are you sure?”
“Please take a look at the video.”
The engineer showed him the screen of the tablet he was holding. It was a video shot with a helt cara by an engineer deployed at the scene.
A doll-like shape was seen at the bottom of the tangled steel structure. Therefore, the rescue engineers began using plasma cutters to cut through the steel structures.
After a few minutes, all of the steel structures that were blocking the path were removed and the presence of the two managers was confird.
“They aren’t conscious, but they’re still alive. The issue now is that we must remove the building debris that is supporting the structure.” The engineer on the scene poked his head through the gap to assess the situation and reported what he saw via the communication network.
“How long will it take?”
“It will probably take about five minutes.”
“Five minutes…Please hurry up.”
“Yes, I will.”
They didn’t have much ti. The gunshots that had been heard from afar were already ringing vigorously near the fence.
After a while, all the remains of the building were removed and the two managers, covered with dirt and dust, appeared.
“Oh! There they are!”
Team Leader Park Gi-oong couldn’t help himself and dashed down to the rescue site as soon as he saw the two managers on the screen.
“Team Leader Park! It’s dangerous. Please wait here!”
Despite Captain Ahn Sang-hee’s objections, he dashed to the site and burst into tears as soon as he saw the two pitiful managers.
“Manager Lee! Manager Namgoong!”
While one engineer, who appeared to be in charge of the dical care, was checking the two managers with various equipnt, Team Leader Park Gi-oong wiped their faces with the wet tissues he had brought.
“Team Leader Park!” Manager Lee Ja-sung slightly opened his eyes and said at that mont.
Surprised, Team Leader Park Gi-oong widened his eyes at the sound of a voice and asked, “Oh, manager! Are you awake?”
“Why did you take so long? I almost died because I had to pee.”
“What? Is this the ti to make such a joke…”
Team Leader Park Gi-oong had no choice but to shake his head at the strong ntal power of Manager Lee Ja-sung, who was joking in such a situation.
“So! We have to move, please step back.”
Their conversation ca to an end with the words of the rescue engineer, and the two managers were placed on a mobile cot equipped with a hover system and imdiately loaded onto a dical sky bus.

Underground bunker of the Blue House National Crisis Center, Jongno-gu, Seoul
“You did a great job.”
President Choo Un-hee, who had been watching the Red Barn Swallow unit’s rescue operation in the underground bunker for the past four hours, stood up from her seat and applauded her hands.
In response, Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong and General Kang Jung-hyun, who appeared on the screen, replied with a salute.
“Both of them are in good health, right?”
“Yes, that’s right, Mdm. President! The local dical staff confird that they have no health issues.”
“Okay. Send them to the Central dical Center as soon as they return ho. Top-notch dical staff are waiting for them there.”
“Yes, okay.”
“Okay. Once again, thank you for your hard work. Oh! Is the second stage of the unlimited retaliation attack against New China going well?”
“Yes, it is. We are currently preparing according to our plans.”
“Well, even though I have given my approval, I hope there is as little damage to civilians as possible. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes, I am fully aware of the President’s concerns. We will inform you of the details before proceeding with the second stage of the operation.
“All right. I’ll trust you and wait for you.”
“Yes, all right. Salute!”
“Yes, thank you.”
President Choo Un-hee, who sat down after the video communication ended, told Director Lee Young-jin, head of the National Intelligence Service, who was sitting next to her. “They’ve done a lot for their country. So, please give them a vacation after treatnt so that they can rest.”
“Yes, Mdm. President. Thank you for your care.”
“No, of course, I have to pay attention. It’s not sothing they should be grateful for. It’s sothing we should be grateful for,” she replied in the most honorific manner possible, even though they were only public officers, to show how much she respected and appreciated Manager Namgoong-won and Manager Lee Ja-sung.
“Haha, is that so?”
“Of course.”
At that mont, Chief Secretary Lim Jong-won intervened in the conversation. “Mdm. President! You have a press conference tomorrow morning, so please take a rest. It’s already four o’clock.”
“It’s already that late. Okay, then, everyone go ho and rest.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

X-15 bunkers, Beijing, New China (President’s Room)
President Wang Jing wi smirked and looked at Chief of Staff Yuan Xiaoqiao, who was standing in front of him, after throwing the orchid from his desk. Then he spat out swear words.
He had received a report stating that four hours ago, Korean special forces appeared in the Tianjin factory area. As a result, they had lost a large number of troops and among them were the engineers and regintal guards who were working to locate the servers containing the plasma core technology, as well as the 35th Motorized Infantry Brigade and the Mobilization Division who had been dispatched to stop them.
However, the real reason for his rage was not the losses among the troops, but the fact that the server containing the core technology of the plasma bomb had been completely destroyed.
The Red Barn Swallow unit who rescued the two managers had dropped an amplified plasma bomb onto the factory area before retreating. It wasn’t the most powerful plasma-amplified bomb, but it was enough to turn the entire factory area into a fiery hell.
Currently, at Area 15, where the factory was located, everything on the ground was devoured as if a tectonic shift had occurred, and red flas gushed out from the cracks in the ground.
“Are you saying this is a report? What were you doing from the beginning to the end? Do you believe it is sufficient to have stars on your shoulders? What? Please tell ! You’re no better than a cockroach!”
The term cockroach was a very big insult, but Chief of Staff Yuan Xiaoqiao, who bowed his head, silently accepted it without saying anything.
“I’m sorry. I have nothing to say…”
“Of course, you don’t! Didn’t you realize how important that location was to us…How could we have been subjected to such a surprise attack on our territory? We couldn’t even protect the plasma core technology—our only hope during our war with them…Damn!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca. As a result, he muddled his words and drank the whiskey straight from the bottle.
He drank about half of the bottle and then he threw it on the floor as he had done with the orchid earlier.
As the whiskey bottle broke, small pieces of glass flew everywhere.
President Wang Jing wi then glared with his bloodshot eyes and began to walk until he approached the Chief of Staff Yuan Xiaoqiao and said with a an smile, “Right now! Use all the plasma bombs that we have on those freaking b*stards!”
“Mr. President! We must employ them as strategically as possible!”
“What are you talking about? Right now! Use them right now!”
