Chapter 256, Ambush on Shen Ji Battalion
The two sides parted ways after agreeing on a time to meet the next day, and some people on the private force barracks side actually didn’t even dare to go out of the door of their tents after the incident of the thorn cane killings.
They were not willing to go out to look for food even if they were starving.
At this time, the thick snow covered the entire ground, and they simply did not know where there were still thorns and vines buried in the snow, so if they took a wrong step, they would die without a burial place.
However, this was exactly what Ren Xiaosu expected, making it easier for him to act alone.
When Ren Xiaosu went to see Tang Zhou that night, as soon as the two sides met, Tang Zhou was ecstatic and said, “Boss Luo and Mr. Qing Zhen have succeeded in seizing power in the army, and now the army is under their control!”
Ren Xiaosu then wondered, “Didn’t you say they were under house arrest at 111 Barrier?”
“It’s like this,” Tang Zhou explained, “Boss Luo and the others were sent to the frontline as military advisors, then they directly killed Qing Yun and became the current military chief of Qing’s frontline.”
Ren Xiaosu was shocked, “This is okay? No one is minding them?”
“If we change them again at this time, I’m afraid that the Qing Clan’s battle will really be impossible to fight,” Tang Zhou analyzed, “If the Yang Clan and Li Clan take advantage of the situation, the entire Qing Clan will be in danger.”
“Okay,” Ren Xiaosu felt that Qing Zhen probably also saw this time, and only dared to act recklessly, but this Qing Zhen …… is also really ruthless ah.
Tang Zhou said, “Chief Qing Zhen’s side has agreed to cooperate with you, and their combat sequence has already entered the ambush site to wait for the Shen Ji Battalion, and Chief Qing Zhen said that he won’t beat the Shen Ji Battalion to death, and wished us a smooth …… cooperation.”
Ren Xiaosu nodded, this Qing Zhen is still reliable, at least it’s better than that Qing Yun that Tang Zhou talked about, but he said, “Don’t make this whole thing up, don’t you Qing’s give a little bit of bang for your buck?”
Tang Zhou froze for a moment, “This wasn’t mentioned, but I can talk to Officer Qing Zhen, he’s never been a stingy person.”
“That’s more like it,” Ren Xiaosu’s eyebrows widened into a smile.
However, Tang Zhou was suddenly puzzled, “Why don’t you let us finish the Divine Machine Battalion, after all, you don’t have much of a bond with them, do you, you were forcibly conscripted into the army yourself.”
Ren Xiaosu patiently explained, “I want to help Yang collect some specimens of Li’s nanobots.”
Tang Zhou looked like he suddenly figured something out, so he smiled ambiguously, “I see, when I left the 109 Barrier I felt that you and Yang Xiaoguan had an unusual relationship, at that time she was still behind your back, that said, how come you didn’t go to Yang’s side, before, although you were conscripted but you still had a chance to leave, right, we got the intel saying that Li wasn’t that tightly regulated in the beginning, ah. ”
Ren Xiaosu also did not explain too much, casually Tang Zhou how to guess it ……
Tang Zhou which knows he did not go because he did not know where the 88 barriers are ……
……
On the second day, which was the time when the Shen Ji Battalion was expected to launch a sneak attack blitzkrieg against the Qing Clan, the Shen Ji Battalion was still hoofing it’s way through the snowy conditions that had closed the roads.
In the view of the Divine Mechanism Battalion, they themselves had come for a sneak attack.
Outsiders didn’t know how tough the Divine Machine Battalion’s maneuverability was, nor did they know how physically strong the Divine Machine Battalion was with the nanobots.
So no one could guess that they could continue their journey in the snow, which was why this was the best time for them.
The major of the divine Machine Battalion glanced at the GPS while leading the team to break through the snow and said, “There’s still half a day left before we reach the Qing Clan’s supply wagon camp, everyone be incredibly careful, we’ll evacuate immediately after destroying the Qing Clan’s supply wagon granary and wait for it to recharge before launching a sneak attack on the rest of their combat units!”
However, as soon as the words fell, there was suddenly a roaring sound in the distance, and that major of the Divine Mechanism Battalion was stunned for a split second before he immediately yelled, “Retreat! Evade the artillery fire!”
It had to be said that this Major of the Divine Mechanism Battalion was extremely experienced in combat, and in a matter of moments, he reacted to the fact that they had already encountered an ambush by the Qing Clan, and that roaring sound was the sound of Qing Clan’s artillery fire!
Moreover, the first thing he shouted was to retreat, not to lie down, because the Shen Ji Battalion’s mobility was extremely high, if they immediately retreated they would still have a chance to run out of the artillery coverage, whereas if they lied down, they could only wait for death.
Qing had come prepared, how could they escape just by lying down?
But he was still too late.
Only to hear that the sound of distant artillery fire was like firecrackers, stirring in the mountains and fields one after another!
The snow around the Divine Mechanism Battalion soldiers kept cracking, one shell covered towards them as if they were plowing through the ground, Qing Zhen actually did not intend to give this group of Divine Mechanism Battalion soldiers a chance to get close to them.
The Shen Ji Battalion soldiers were as fast as flying between the mountains and fields, some of them were even fast enough to dodge the trajectory of the shells in advance, avoiding the maximum killing radius of the howitzers!
However, the number of howitzers was too much, and with just one round of artillery fire, more than half of the Shen Ji Battalion’s soldiers had already been killed or injured!
Having nanobots didn’t mean they could resist the shells!
The 3.5 kilograms of ladder black explosive, 120MM diameter howitzer blasted over, and in just a moment, it would be able to crush all the lives within a diameter of 8 meters!
Moreover, all the fighters of the Divine Mechanic Battalion within a radius of 25 meters of the howitzer’s point of impact would be hit by the huge explosive force and the broken shrapnel, resulting in an effective killing and wounding!
God had never given mankind weapons, but mankind had created a sword that could kill God.
Luckily, the major of the divine machine battalion is still alive, but his heart is only despair, even if he is well-trained, he can’t resist Qing’s early preparation.
The major of the Divine Mechanism Battalion just couldn’t understand, why would Qing’s ambush here early?
They had clearly been cautious enough, at first feigning to go in the direction of Yang’s position, then secretly rerouting later, and even switching clothes and vehicles with the private forces.
After changing their identities, they hadn’t even crossed paths with any friendly troops, but they still ended up having an accident.
Where on earth did the news leak out!
Seeing the soldiers alive around him getting fewer and fewer, the Major of the Divine Machine Battalion knew that he was done for, and even his identity as a son of the Li Clan would not be able to shelter him from this loss.
At this moment, Qing Zhen stood in front of the Qing Clan’s position calmly looking in the direction of the Divine Machine Battalion as he waved his hand, “Alright, stop.”
The soldiers next to him didn’t ask any more questions, at this time it was clearly the time to capitalize on the victory.
Moreover, Qing Zhen had specifically asked them to replace the 152MM caliber howitzers with 120MM caliber, which looked like a sign of mercy, but the soldiers who had followed Qing Zhen would not question his decision.
But we all do not understand, Qing Zhen how in the end know Shen Ji Battalion will come, is Qing Zhen’s eyes have penetrated Li? Even the most mysterious Shen Ji Battalion has been grasped by the whereabouts of the Li Clan, this is also too scary!
Suddenly, Qing Zhen laughed: “Li’s estimate is too many years have not fought a war, hand a sharp weapon but do not know how to use, really a good hand of cards played thin.”
