Before coming, the Chief of Staff read the information in his hand. There was indeed nothing valuable in it. He reported: "The three main battalions of the National Salvation Army rushed to Yangquan and set up camp on the spot. There was no other trend for the time being. The artillery troops were also operating in Yangquan, and there was nothing unusual."

"The cavalry battalion and mobile battalion are still operating on the battlefield where we encircle and annihilate our raid troops, and there is no other movement!"

"After statistics, there are less than 2,000 main troops of the National Salvation Army, more than half of the artillery troops have been lost, and more than half of the several garrison troops have been injured and half of them. The National Salvation Army has at most five or six thousand people, including one or two thousand new recruits who temporarily supplement the troops during the battle!"

"We probably estimated that the overall combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army was only 30% of the previous ones we had before we swept the country. Moreover, the troops were very tired because of continuous combat. If it weren't for us, it would be the best time for us to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the National Salvation Army!"

"Of course, even if we don't send troops to attack the National Salvation Army now, they will not be able to restore their combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

"So they will definitely not take the initiative to provoke the war now and further aggravate their losses."

"We can also take the opportunity to restore our strength, reorganize our troops, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army. After our strength is restored in the future, we will send troops to encircle and suppress the national rescue army, and a battle will determine the world!"

The intelligence introduced by the Chief of Staff is indeed of no value, so the commander did not spend too much effort on these issues. After listening to it, he thought of another question: "Have the intelligence department figured out how the main force of the National Salvation Army rushed from Pingding to Yangquan to participate in the war in just four or five hours!"

"If these troops hadn't suddenly appeared on the Yangquan battlefield, our raid troops would have definitely captured Yangquan, and they would not have been defeated so badly. The raid troops with more than 4,000 people finally escaped only more than 300 people, which is too embarrassing!"

The Chief of Staff quickly reported: "It has been found out!"

"Information shows that the mobile battalion directly under the National Salvation Army is different from other infantrymen. Zhou Cheng equipped each soldier with a war horse to the mobile battalion, and all the heavy weapons equipped by the mobile battalion are transported by war horses."

"After encountering an emergency, all the mobile battalions rode horses to reinforce the battlefield. Although the marching speed was not as fast as the real cavalry, it was several times faster than the infantry's marching. Therefore, the mobile battalion had the opportunity to escape our eyes and ears, and marched fifty or sixty kilometers to reinforce the battlefield for a few hours!"

"So that's how it is!" After hearing this, the commander suddenly realized it. He didn't know whether it was sincere or what. He looked at the front with admiration and emotion: "This Zhou Cheng is really amazing. He actually thought of using war horses to speed up the infantry marching. If you are defeated by such an opponent, we will lose without any wickedness."

"Getting one's mistakes and wisdom comes from one's own wisdom. Since we already know that the National Salvation Army has a force that can move quickly, we will definitely not be able to make the same mistake on the same issue in the future."

"Chief of Staff, you must remember this matter. When we encircle and suppress the national rescue army in the future, we must consider the impact of this mobile force on the situation in advance."

"As long as we keep improving our reality, I don't believe that Zhou Cheng can have new tricks to deal with us every time, and the final victory will still belong to us!",

"I ordered the intelligence department to keep an eye on the remnants of the National Salvation Army to report to me as soon as possible!"

"Let the troops blocking our defense zone strengthen their vigilance to prevent the national rescue troops from infiltrating our occupied areas in the chaos."

"The National Salvation Army likes to train troops by infiltration and small-scale raids. This time we must not let their conspiracy succeed!"

The Japanese and puppet army strongholds in Hedi Town, as the sky gradually darkened, the strongholds that had been lively for a day became quiet again.

The captain of the Grand Priest sat in his room on the third floor of the main artillery building, a pot of clear streams and a few side dishes, and drank a few cups of them on his own.

This period of time can be said to be the most leisurely and comfortable period since he joined the army.

In the past, although he could often go to the battlefield to make contributions, in order not to be killed by his opponent, he had to open his eyes when he went to bed at night and lived nervously every day. Finally, he climbed from the second lieutenant to the major step by step. Only he himself knew the difficulty in the middle.

After being transferred to the garrison, although he had fewer opportunities to make meritorious service, his life became more and more comfortable.

Not only do you not have to worry all day long like before, but you have to open your eyes when you sleep at night. Every time a troops at the stronghold go out to sweep the bus, they will more or less take out some good things to respect themselves.

People die for money and birds die for food. Faced with more and more benefits, he has been corrupted by money, and has gradually forgotten the blood and backbone that a soldier should have, and has begun to use his identity as a captain to find ways to gain benefits.

"Sir, I want to ask if I need to add guard posts and patrol soldiers tonight?" When the master was happily eating, a squadron leader suddenly appeared at the door.

"Why should I add guard posts and patrol soldiers?" The master didn't understand the reason for this for a while. After killing the sake from the cup in one sip, he frowned and looked puzzled.

The squadron leader quickly explained: "Didn't there be a batch of oil and chariot-equipped ammunition at the stronghold? In case of an accident, the military will definitely punish us!"

The master did not agree with his subordinates' analysis, his brows frowned deeper than before, and cursed with dissatisfaction: "You are confused. The National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army do not have chariot troops, and even cars are rarely equipped. What's the use of those oil and ammunition?"

"I can say with certainty that even if our stronghold is really attacked by the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, their real purpose is not the oil material. Maybe we will not even ask for it if we put the oil material in front of them."

"Order the troops to be alert as usual. If you are not at ease, you can draw a company of the Imperial Army to cooperate with the Imperial Army to watch out for the evening!"

At two o'clock in the morning, the Hedi Town stronghold was completely shrouded in the night. Several huge searchlights swaying back and forth on the roof of the artillery tower and dozens of soldiers patrolling back and forth were lost, without any movement.

"Boom..." A faint roar suddenly came to the stronghold.

The Japanese on duty patrol immediately became alert, and the second lieutenant in charge of the on-duty unit immediately raised his telescope and looked in the direction where the sound came.

It was too dark. Although the roar was getting louder and louder, it kept approaching the stronghold. The end of the official road was still dark and nothing could be seen.

"It's a chariot, and there's a chariot coming towards our stronghold!" A knowledgeable Chang suddenly shouted, expressing his judgment on the roar.

"It is indeed a chariot, and there are several more, which are quickly approaching the stronghold!" Another Cao Chang agreed.

Most of the Japanese here have dealt with tanks and armored vehicles. After the two Caos said their judgment one after another, the other Japanese all showed a consent expression, and then looked forward to staring at the end of the official road.

In their eyes, the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army could not equip the war chariots, and the chariots that drove towards the stronghold must have been sent by their superiors.

Although the stronghold did not receive any relevant information, this did not affect the analysis and judgment of the alert troops.

"Sir, do we want to report to the captain!" a Chief Cao reminded.

Although he also felt that the chariot that suddenly appeared on the pipe could not be an enemy, outsiders came to the stronghold, as the captain of the master, they should know it in terms of emotion and reason.

"I'll report now. You are here to continue to be alert. If there is any situation, call the Central Artillery Tower immediately!" The team leader on duty thought for a while and answered!

When the chariot troops came to the base, the major's sleepiness disappeared instantly.

In the entire army, the chariot troops can definitely be regarded as the pride of all arms.

He is just a captain of the garrison troops, the one with the worst combat effectiveness and the lowest status in the army.

Even if the chariot troops coming to the stronghold were led by a squadron leader and their rank was one level lower than theirs, the Major dared not offend the other party casually.

Although the stronghold did not receive news that there would be a chariot troops tonight, his thoughts were exactly the same as those of his subordinates, and they all felt that the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army could not have a chariot troops.

The reason why I didn't get the news in advance was that there was an accident and the chariot troops suddenly decided to come to me.

After all, among the dozen or so strongholds around, only the Hedi Town stronghold where he is located has reserved oil and ammunition essential for combat vehicles.

After putting on his clothes and climbing onto the roof of the cannon tower, a total of six chariots had appeared at the end of the official road, turning on the headlights, and quickly heading towards the stronghold.

When the chariot was less than two hundred meters away from the stronghold, the captain could already see the appearance of the chariot.

Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, they are the most equipped weapons in the army. The captain is very familiar with it and is more sure that they are their own identity.

There were six chariots on the official road, which indicated that the other party was at least a squadron leader of the chariot squadron. With the status of the chariot troops in the army, the captain of the Grand Priest did not dare to be arrogant at all. He immediately rushed to the door of the stronghold with several subordinates, preparing to welcome them into the stronghold in person.

When the master arrived at the door, six chariots rushed to the distance of seventy or eighty meters from the stronghold, but they had no intention of slowing down at all, and continued to rush towards the stronghold gate.

"Dadada..." Suddenly, the on-board machine gun of a tank in the front sprayed a tongue of flames into the alert position outside the stronghold. Four soldiers were standing behind the bunker waiting for the chariot to arrive with a respectful look on their faces. Unexpectedly, the other party actually opened fire at him.

The bullets flew towards them, and the four Japanese didn't even have the chance to squat down and hide, and were beaten into sieve on the spot.

The scene was clearly seen by the Major, his eyes quickly widened and he shouted: "Bageyalu, we have been fooled. The chariot troops outside are enemies, not their own people!"

"The light and heavy machine guns in the castle fired immediately, blocking the chariots at all costs, and absolutely not letting them get close to the stronghold!"

"The artillery quickly set up the mortar and cover the enemy's chariot troops with artillery fire!"

When the six chariots were fifty meters away from the stronghold, they were fighting with the two closest machine gun castles.

Two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns were shooting wildly, and bullets flew towards the chariot like money, causing the chariot to be protected by armor, which made the chariot protective armor and look particularly scary from afar. At the same time, the six chariots lined up also unfolded in combat formations at this moment.

Three tanks were walking in front of the finished font, and about a platoon of infantry hid among the three combat vehicles, holding guns in their hands, observing the surroundings while advancing. Each soldier was very alert.

Three armored vehicles followed closely, and they were also distributed in finished shapes, with at least two platoons of infantry hiding among them.

As time passed, more and more castles were put into battle. There were almost ten machine guns shooting at them directly in front of the three tanks. However, these bullets had no power in front of the tank's protective armor and could not reach the table at all.

The heavy machine gun bullet is slightly better, at least it can make a dent on the body of the car. It would be nice if the machine gun bullet could leave a white spot after it was shot.

The three chariots were like three shields, mounted directly in front of the infantry platoon and on the left and right wings, blocking all the bullets flying towards them.

Seeing this scene, the major was anxious.

The opponent even had equipment for the tanks and used tanks to attack the strongholds when they came up, which showed that they were very strong and had a great determination to attack the strongholds.

If they are allowed to rush into the stronghold, they will definitely lose this battle.

The good days of being a captain have just begun. If the stronghold is lost, my life will definitely be gone.

He didn't want to give up the good days in front of him, nor did he want to lose his life. Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead without realizing it, and he was anxious and panicked with an order: "Where is the artillery, why don't you fire the artillery?"

"The chariot can use the body of the vehicle to block the bullets fired from the stronghold, and cannot block the shells falling from the sky!"

"The artillery fires immediately and kills the enemies hiding behind the chariot."

"No infantry protection, just a few chariots, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you can't even capture our stronghold!"

"Boom..."

The artillery fired, and six shells fell from the sky because this was the first round of Japanese shootings. Only one shell hit the target, and the remaining five shells were all deviated.

Even so, the Grandpa was still very surprised because the shell that hit the target just now killed at least five infantry platoons.

"Boom..."

The artillery fire coverage continued, and shells continued to hit the infantry platoon.

However, because the attacking speed of the offensive troops was too fast and they were moving, the hit rate of the shells did not increase.

When the three tanks rushed to the middle of the two castles, nearly ten soldiers in the infantry platoon survived.

The shooting holes on the castle were all opened in front of it, and there were no shooting holes on the flanks, which were dead ends for machine guns. As long as the infantry avoided the bullets fired from the artillery tower not far away, they could easily touch the next to the castle with explosive bags.

The three tanks once again served as shields for the infantry.

A tank remained motionless, using vehicle-mounted machine guns to suppress and attract machine gun fire in the building.

The two tanks turned quickly and rushed towards the castle on the left and right wings.

A dozen soldiers divided into three, hid on the flank of the chariot with explosives, followed the chariot and rushed towards the castle...

"Boom..."

The explosive pack was quickly detonated, and the two castles were instantly submerged in smoke and fire, and finally turned into a pile of ruins.

The Japanese hiding in the castle did not even see the shadow of the attacking troops and were buried directly in the ruins.

After blowing up the castle, the three tanks gathered together again and covered the infantry and continued to assault forward.

The armored vehicles followed closely with more infantrymen and expanded their results.

The master had retreated to the central artillery tower of the stronghold. He saw the enemy easily breaking through 50% of the ring defense line of the castle under the cover of the chariot, and also exploded his two castles. His nervous heart suddenly reached his throat, and at the same time he realized that the stronghold under his feet was about to be unable to defend.

The Grandpa was particularly afraid of death, but as death really came, he could not avoid it. Instead, he became calmer, and the murderous aura and fighting spirit that soldiers should have also returned.

He decided not to sit still and wait for death. Even if he really died here tonight, he would bite a piece of meat from the enemy and make the other party pay the price.
