Night had fallen on Luyuan Street, silent but for the lingering scent of blood around the noses of those present.
Stationed on this street were three hundred men from the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment, under the Sixth Infantry Division of the Chan Country Army.
Also present was the Seventh Tank Platoon from the First Armored Brigade, which consisted of four tanks and two armored infantry vehicles.
These soldiers had not relaxed their vigilance with the arrival of night; on the contrary, they became even more tense and serious.
This was because Luyuan Street had always been a key area of contention between Chan Country and the Jieke Group. Many fierce battles broke out on this street, and control of the area frequently changed hands.
