This is the most important county town at the junction of the two provinces. As long as you occupy this place, you will control the throat of the junction of the two provinces. Therefore, General Cai has stationed 8,000 soldiers here. Many soldiers have already received the news. They are not far away.
The light everywhere also showed that the information they received was correct. The southern anti-insurgent army had come to kill them. The light that appeared at night was their car lights.
Many soldiers were too frightened to hold their weapons. There were so many cars. They had never seen such a team before. There were also foreign concessions in their territory, but those foreigners did not have so many cars. Instead, the suppressing army had them in advance.
Now, many people say that the Suppression Army is extremely powerful. They didn't believe it at first, but now they believe it just by seeing the lights of so many cars.
There are three lines of defense outside Ping'an County, which they worked hard to build. Ever since Gao Shaoyi occupied the three southern provinces, General Cai felt that his territory was not so stable, so he spent 1.2 million silver coins to build one.
The ready-made defense system can be regarded as a precedent. However, although the defense system was established, General Cai had one loophole that was not plugged, that is, his soldiers were neglected in training and did not know how to fight at all.
There are more than 70 bandits in this province where General Cai is stationed. They usually do anything. General Cai also wants to wipe out them, but the combat effectiveness of his soldiers is too poor. In the end, he can only fight with these bandits.
Coexistence, this is also where the major warlords in the country laugh at him. You can't even control the bandits within the territory, but you still have the nerve to say that you are a tyrant.
With such soldiers, even if you spend 12 million silver coins, you may not be able to defend this county. Wang Wuyao is also preparing to fight a tough battle to give his soldiers a good training. Who knows what we have here?
Not a single shot was fired, and only two of the three lines of defense outside the city were empty.
"You fucking say this is the second line of defense?"
Commander Wang looked at the leader of the advance group in front of him with some surprise. Just now, he only knew that his soldiers were speeding up. He thought they were about to reach the opponent's first line of defense. Who knew that what he was stepping on now was the second line of defense. Although
A trench one and a half meters wide was dug, but there was no soldier. Our people had placed steel plates on top of the trench and cars could drive directly through it.
"Report to the division commander, I'm not lying. We caught a few deserters just now. This is their second line of defense. The big locust tree just now was their first line of defense. We didn't feel it when we came over.
I thought I was digging that smelly ditch."
The leader of the advance group had a bitter look on his face. If he hadn't caught these deserters, I'm afraid he wouldn't have believed it was true. The intelligence department had already sent them news about the value of the peripheral defenses in Ping'an County.
With 1.2 million silver coins, they were thinking about what kind of defense they would have. Even if it wasn't a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, they would never be able to get past it easily. But when they came over, they found that it was not the case at all. Looking for
Even if a few ordinary people build fortifications, they probably won't be able to build them like this.
"These corrupt officials have really helped us a lot. If it weren't for these corrupt officials, we might have to fight here for a while. According to my estimate, 120,000 of the 1.2 million silver coins can be used for defense.
In terms of fortifications, I consider them to have accumulated great virtues."
Wang Wuyao said with a smile. His soldiers were holding back their energy and were preparing to practice in Ping'an County. They were even ready with 150mm heavy artillery. If we encounter a bunker that cannot be attacked for a long time, we will
Just use artillery shells to demonstrate to them, especially those artillerymen who fired so many artillery shells on the training ground and were waiting to go to the battlefield to test whether they were qualified. Who knew that they broke through two lines of defense in succession without firing a single artillery shell?
.
"Reporting to the commander, our army broke through the third line of defense, captured 132 prisoners, and killed 175 people."
While the two were talking, a messenger came back from the front line on a three-wheeled motorcycle. They had already arrived at the foot of Ping'an County.
"Are there many defense soldiers in the county?"
Commander Wang said with a wry smile. The soldiers under his command were holding back their energy and wanted to practice at the three fortifications on the outside. Many officers also wanted to see their abilities, and they had already gone straight to the county seat.
"Although the city gate is closed, there are no soldiers on the wall. Do we want to go in?"
The messenger brought first-hand information from the front line. Many officers on the front line, including him, were wondering what kind of battle this was. We set off overnight and traveled nearly 200 kilometers. Everyone was gearing up.
In the end, this happened. If it weren't for the third line of defense and there were some people resisting, then they really thought they were just out for fun.
"We will not enter the city for the time being. We will order the army to surround the entire county. We will wait until dawn tomorrow."
Wang Wuyao issued the order. It is already dark at this time. If the enemy has an ambush in the county, our people may suffer casualties after entering. In this case, we can just take action tomorrow morning.
"Inform the reporters accompanying the army and ask them to take pictures next to the county seat immediately. They all know how to write. Please write better for me."
Commander Wang suddenly thought of another order from above, which is to show off his style, to make news, and to let warlords all over the country know that even if we only use the security team, we can achieve our strategic goals and give them
Cause a certain amount of pressure.
A jeep rushed over quickly from behind, carrying two reporters accompanying the army. Since it was determined that there was no danger from here to the county seat, their role came into play. At dawn tomorrow, the newspaper must publish it.
There will be another change underneath.
It is estimated that General Cai would not have thought that the three lines of defense built at a cost of 1.2 million silver coins would be breached within an hour.
Of course, there are disadvantages to advancing too fast. For example, their artillery positions cannot keep up at this moment. The artillery positions originally set up were used to attack these three lines of defense. Who knew that not a single shell was fired, but the cannon
They have already settled in the local area. It will take at least two or three hours to continue to pull them forward. Who knows that these are all heavy artillery...
