Chapter 1265 Where did the "relatives" go?
More than 30 independent soldiers were basically in groups of two, one was responsible for issuing numbers and the other was responsible for recording on the notebook.
This identification speed is undoubtedly much faster than Fei Xi’s one by one, but it still took more than fifty minutes to distribute more than 5,000 cloth strips.
This time, no one was kicked out of the queue. But a lot of them were recorded in the dozen or so records.
Of course, this has something to do with the broken words of the more than a dozen soldiers in charge of recording. A piece of paper would like to write more than a dozen words, and some even just draw an illustration, but it was just a big head and arms and legs. I'm afraid only they themselves knew what was drawn in the pure stream of consciousness comics.
Commander Liu can turn a group of farmers into iron-blooded warriors in a few years, but it is really difficult to turn a group of illiterate people into cultural people.
After all the identification and distribution of numbers were completed, the second-hand man formed more than 5,000 people into five teams, each team of about 1,000 people in four rows, and led by the Black Hawk Army to the field position they built.
According to the agreement between the two sides, when both sides were ready and fired signal flares, the kingdom prisoners set out from three places of the Black Hawk Army to return to the kingdom position, and the same was true for the Black Hawk Army prisoners.
Except for the personnel sent in advance, both sides shall not send one more soldier or another, otherwise it will be deemed to be a breach of contract.
As for what would happen if the contract was breached, the generals of both sides knew very well that the opponent would not let the opponent's prisoners run back to the opponent's position five miles away. The positions of the two sides were very far apart, separated by several hills, and the distance was as high as 2,500 meters. Without sending troops, it was impossible to break from the position with guns. If you want to attack these prisoners of war, you can only guns.
Only artillery is the simplest way to do it. In this unblocked hilly area, with a few rounds of artillery fire covering all these unarmed and weak prisoners of war can be killed.
Not only was the independent mixed brigade led by Sun Jian who set up a mountain artillery squadron and two field artillery squadrons with more than a dozen cannons, Fei Xi saw that at least fifteen mortars were erected on the kingdom's positions.
Mortars may have a slightly less lethality than mountain cannons, but they are very deadly for Black Hawk prisoners of war.
Because there are not many prisoners of war in the Kingdom who are injured and unable to act. Most of the injured have died in prison camps. More than 10,000 people who can reach here are basically healthy. Even if a few have leg problems, two companions can walk with them. However, more than 80% of the Black Hawk Army are wounded, and many people cannot walk and can only be carried on stretchers. Those technical soldiers who want to return to the Black Hawk Empire plus the 100 people who come here, including Major Fei Xi, are not enough. In the end, the wounded soldiers with their arms hanging on their backs act as stretchers to barely carry the wounded soldiers away.
However, what Fei Xi saw was the cannon located on the Kingdom's position.
Captain Lang has never been a hidden person, especially when he wants to send off his friends in the Black Hawk Empire to leave immediately.
"Col. Liu, can you send a signal? Time is almost here." Fei Xi really wanted to leave the territory of the kingdom early. Every second he was here, his heart was trembling.
"No hurry." Liu Lang looked at his pocket watch, smiled faintly, and pointed to the front: "The mound in front is very annoying. It not only blocked the sight of both our army and our army, but also hindered the friendly exchanges between the two armies, but also hindered the prisoners of war's way home. Please ask General Shen Zhi and Major General Sun Jian to wait for a moment and let our army kill the mound first."
Fei Xi was speechless. There were too many mounds blocking the view, so you sent someone to dig it out? Is there a pit in your head and you need soil to fill it?
At the same time, Shen Zhi, who had not shown up, held the telegram that suddenly came to him, and his face changed slightly. He no longer cared about hiding the cat, and personally led Sun Jian and Gong Xiaoran into the field command post on the hills and picked up the telescope.
Although I don’t quite understand what the kingdom’s letter meant by trying to kill the earth mound, the obvious name made the No. 1 leader of the Northern Army of the Black Hawk Army give me a bad premonition.
Sure enough, with Liu Lang's order on the kingdom's position there.
In the center of the positions of both sides, one of them shook.
Although the mound Liu Lang refers to is 1,500 meters away from the Kingdom position and about 1,000 meters away from the Black Hawk Empire position, the rumbling artillery fire is still deafening, and the soldiers in the scorching air waves cannot help but lower their heads.
Ten 105 howitzers roared at the same time, and the small mound was bombarded by more than 150 shells in five minutes. The bushes on the mound were not only instantly destroyed, but each soldier who was stinging his eyes without a telescope was also believed that the floating soil on the mound could bury people's ankles.
Even if it did not hit the level as Liu Lang said, it would have lowered the height by at least a dozen centimeters.
Sun Jian and Gong Xiaoran's faces were a little pale.
Shen Zhi's face turned pale.
They finally understood the meaning of the Kingdom people's telegram, and they were demonstrating.
However, this demonstration is really useful.
This is the Empire's 105 howitzer, and the three Black Hawk generals are extremely familiar with it. Because they are very familiar, they all know that once the Kingdom people's artillery fire extends, the range of the 105 howitzer is as high as 10,000 meters, and the positions of the entire independent mixed brigade are within their range.
With the field fortifications they temporarily built, under the bombardment of howitzers with a power of 75 caliber mountain cannons, those who say they are paper-based are still highly estimated with their soldiers' civil engineering capabilities.
It seems that the idiots of the 20th Division were not only finished themselves, but also gave all the powerful weapons of the Empire to the enemy.
How can Shen Zhi not be angry?
But, no matter how angry he is, what can he do? The kingdoms clearly told him that if there were no more than 10,000 prisoners of war, they could fire at the mixed brigade now.
Moreover, the beginning of the telegram from the kingdom people, he had already made it clear that he, the first person in the northern part of the Black Hawk Empire, was here.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind!" "Where is the kingdom's howitzer group?" Shen Zhi is worthy of being the commander, and he calmed down first after a brief shock.
"It should be in the mountains 7,000 meters away." Gong Xiaoran held the cannon-distance observation mirror and looked at it for a while and finally confirmed.
"7000 meters!" Shen Zhi's face became even more ugly.
The range of mountain cannons in the Mixed Brigade is only 6,000 meters. Although the range of field cannons can reach 10,000 meters, it is mainly for fixed fortifications. It is undoubtedly a dream to hit the cannon group hidden in the valley through the mountain peaks. Moreover, he dared to conclude that as long as he dared to order the firing of the cannon, the opponent's howitzer group would first cover the artillery positions.
The kingdoms, what they just demonstrated was not only saying that they had artillery. What’s more important is that they had artillery accuracy, they had extremely professional artillery soldiers.
Except for more than a dozen cannons falling on the hills, almost all the other 100 cannons landed on the hills. Even the imperial artillery that Shen Zhi was proud of was nothing more than that!
The 14th Division, which was about to annihilate the kingdoms in one fell swoop, was still 20 miles away in order to arouse the kingdoms' alertness, and hoped that they would use the 105 howitzer group to suppress it. It would be more practical to push the mountain cannons of the mixed brigade forward for 1,000 meters.
But what's so bad is that even if you don't even have time to push the mountain cannon forward, will the kingdom people give them that time?
Looking at the vast mountains in the distance, I still don’t know how many main forces of the kingdom are hidden inside. Shen Zhi knew that his fantasy of fighting against the kingdom when he wanted to fight prisoners of war was dashed.
The 38th Air Wing's fighter jets were still available to fight. In order to prevent the kingdoms from counterattacking Haigu, they could no longer be dispatched. Without the help of fighter jets, tens of thousands of kingdom troops with large caliber howitzers and mortars were in danger in the mountains, and they could not be captured by a division and a mixed brigade in a short time.
Now, we can only exchange the prisoners of war for honesty first. Moreover, we can't do anything else. He knew very well that, like him, the cunning commander of the Kingdom people would definitely send a vanguard between the battlefields of the two armies. Once we found that the prisoners of war were incorrect, we would immediately notify the position. Then, he would not even have the capital to cover the shame of the entire army.
But what he had to do now was not to safely take back his prisoners of war, but to retreat, leave here, and leave the range of the Kingdom howitzers.
"Gong Xiaoran, fired and exchanged prisoners of war signals and sent back the kingdoms' prisoners. At the same time, he ordered the entire army to retreat and retreat 3,000 meters away." Shen Zhi issued a military order very decisively. "Also, he ordered the mountain artillery troops to be stationed in place. If the kingdoms dared to bombard our prisoners of war, fire immediately."
"Sun Jian called Wang Guofang back for me. If you ruin your promise, don't forget that the north is still in my hands." The frivolous brutality in Shen Zhi's eyes, who left the temporary command post, made Sun Jian feel a little scared.
"Major Fei, you can take your people out and look forward to seeing you next time." Liu Lang looked at the two signal flares rising in the sky and said with a smile on Fei Xi.
See you next time? It would be better not to see you again. Fei Xi shivered involuntarily, but nodded at Liu Lang and ignored the basic etiquette. With a wave of her hand, she slipped away without looking back.
Although most of the Black Hawk prisoners and wounded, the legs carrying stretchers were short, but the speed was really not slow.
The power of howitzers on the Kingdom not only scared their generals, but also scared the Black Hawk Army prisoners of war, with their little faces white.
Don’t go home for the more than 2,000-meter road, it’s a way to hell.
Of course, it was a little better than they thought. On the way back, the kingdom people stood up and stopped their guns without firing. The way home was a little far away. Major Fei Xi was so tired that he was panting and running back to his position was surprised to find that the bastard was empty, and there was a whole brigade of thousands of people, and Grandma Quante ran away.
My whole family, after staying in the kingdom for many years and learning a lot of swearing, Fei Xi almost cursed in public. There was no way, so she could only lead the wounded soldiers to continue running wildly. It was 3,000 meters before she saw the "relatives".
