Due to the four time zone difference, when the combat erupted, it was already 8 a.m. here, and Zhou Yongtao had just finished breakfast.
Although he had long been mentally prepared and knew that the Western Continent would not wait until the ultimatum expired to take action, for once preparations for an attack were made, they would certainly choose an unexpected time to launch the assault to achieve a strategic or at least tactical element of surprise, receiving the message from the Northwest War Zone headquarter still took Zhou Yongtao by surprise, or he found it a bit hard to accept.

There were three main points of assault, from north to south in order: Ulyanovsk, Saratov, and Volgograd.
In addition, a large number of forces also launched feint attacks in the north at Perm and in the south at Rostov.
