Chapter 444, Zong’s Plan
“Why do I always feel that this 144th barrier is overly easy to hit,” Ren Xiaosu said strangely, “Will there be any accidents ah, let’s be careful.”
Seeing that most of the granaries have been burned, the armored brigade is still running back to the north to support them, and by the time the armored brigade arrives, I’m afraid that the sharp knife company will have long since run off to who-knows-where.
There was little resistance throughout the wall, and although there was chaos within the wall, most of it was due to the panic of the inhabitants.
And the deputy head of the side heard Ren Xiaosu say so, immediately speechless, this is still easy? You’ve already killed three leaders, and the deputy leader is in your hands, how can this be easy?
Are you talking like a human being?
Just burning the granary Ren Xiaosu realized that one-third of the granary is empty, he asked the deputy head: “These food have been transported to the front?”
“No,” the deputy regimental commander shook his head, “they were all bought away by various generals under various names before the war.”
“They still had to buy their own food for the war?” Ren Xiaosu froze.
“No, they were planning to sell it to the residents when the war started and the prices went up, this is something the higher-ups don’t even know about, the generals said that they would sell the grain to them now, and later when the price of the grain fell they would just replenish the stock, no one would find out, after all, the original plan for this war actually didn’t use much grain,” the deputy regimental commander said: “At least it won’t run out.”
But now it’s good, Ren Xiaosu actually disguised for those secretly hoarding Zong’s generals to play a cover, once the fire burns, no one knows that the food here is less than one-third.
Just Ren Xiaosu is not happy, it seems that this burning granary on the battle although the impact is big, but definitely not fatal, because the food scattered, Zong’s consortium always have a way to get those lost food back.
……
At this moment, all the generals in Zong’s command headquarters were as sullen as water, commander Zong Ying suddenly slammed the pen in his hand on the table: ”What is this Zong Wu doing for food, he has already been promised to take the 131st brigade to pursue the enemy, and even sent two Transcendents, why did he still let the other side burn the 144th Barrier under their noses? And what are the garrison of 144 Barrier doing, can’t they organize any defense force at all, watching the enemy burn down the granary!?”
Saying that, Zong Ying’s anger was already about to explode, “Shoot their leader for me ……”
The words have not finished, Zong Ying this just remembered 1237 regiment at this time there is no regimental commander, even the fucking deputy regimental commander has run away.
This angry time even a can be launched as a scapegoat to vent their anger are not ah!
“Commander, things have come to a head, we need to think of countermeasures,” said a general.
“Mobilize all the reserve food from all the barriers, collect all the reserves, and you guys also hold some food in your hands right, hand them all over to me, this matter involves the success or failure of the consortium, don’t play with your respective petty schemes anymore! Do you think I don’t know what you guys have done?” Zong Ying said in a cold voice.
This was to centralize all of the entire Zong Clan’s reserve food to the frontline, even including the food in the homes of the wall residents.
There was also a lot of food in the hands of the generals.
When they knew that there was going to be a war, many of the generals began to buy grain in large quantities and hoard it when they learned of the war in advance, and they knew very well that when this war was fought, the price of grain was bound to go up.
Don’t look at a catty of rice is only more than a dollar, many people always think that this thing can make money? But when the war started, that rice price might be four or five dollars, or even rise to ten dollars.
At that time the residents in the barriers will not starve themselves, so the money in the hands of those residents will eventually be collected in the hands of these hoarder generals.
A tenfold windfall, who wouldn’t miss it? This was sucking the blood of the wall residents.
Suddenly, a general said, ”Now the question is what about this 178th Fortress’s troops? We can’t continue to allow them to cause chaos in the rear, right?”
Zong Ying was also bitter in his heart, of course he knew that if he continued to let the sharp knife company toss and turn like this, I’m afraid that the battle wouldn’t be necessary.
But now they already know what this sharp knife company relies on, what can they do with this sharp knife company?
The war so-called blitzkrieg, is the use of aircraft and tanks tank units, artillery, armored and motorized infantry and other multi-troops form a dense armored assault group, in the tactical air force under the synergy of rapid breakthroughs in the enemy’s defenses, and to the enemy’s deep target rapid penetration maneuvering, the enemy to divide the encirclement, so as to annihilate the enemy mode of combat.
Now they don’t have airplanes, they can only rely on tanks.
In the battlefield speed of sixty tanks are called lightning, then the fucking people speed of one hundred and two what is it?
The speed of their own tanks compared to the steam train, just like a tractor, how to chase ah!
“Launch the follow-up plan in advance,” Zong Ying said in a cold voice, “If 178 Fortress thinks that it can win the war like this, then it’s too much of a underestimation of my Zong, I’m going to make 178 Fortress leave no chicken and dog behind.”
That night, several pontoon bridges on the Black Stone River were motionless in the waves, this was the supply line that 178 Fortress relied on to advance, and also the lifeline, it was bound to be constructed extremely sturdy, and there were daily repair and maintenance by the engineer battalion to replace the fittings.
However, the night black black surface, suddenly there are hundreds of speedboats crazy close to the black stone river pontoon bridge, at first these speedboats are actually to boat soldiers with oars to manpower propulsion, so that they can quietly close to the pontoon bridge about ten kilometers.
But when they entered the ten kilometers range, the speedboat suddenly pulled the engine, roaring to the direction of the pontoon bridge, and these speedboats are placed on a large number of TNT explosives.
When the 178th Fortress garrison near the Black Stone River discovered them, it was already too late.
Heavy machine guns roared as they tried to intercept these speedboats, but there were just too many of them, and all of them came with the determination to die, as if each one of them didn’t want to die.
Rumbling explosions were heard, and before the speedboats were about to hit the pontoon, the Zong soldiers on board ignited the detonators attached to the TNT explosives.
The moment the detonator burst, it also detonated the TNT, and the entire large pontoon bridge actually broke apart from the center.
As the Zong’s soldiers desperately attacked the pontoon bridge and detonated the explosives, the pontoon bridge that the 178th fortress relied on to cross the river was broken and drifted downstream.
In an instant, the Black Stone River once again cut the 178th Fortress troops on both sides of the river in two, and at this point, the 178th Fortress troops on the north bank no longer had a way to retreat, and they were also cut off from their supplies.
The fortress generals on the north bank looked at Zhang Jinglin: “Commander, what should we do? Let’s ……”
Zhang Jinglin was in his barracks, frowning at the monstrous flames on the river in the distance, “Prepare to fight with your back to the water!”
But Zong’s plan to here is still not finished, a Zong’s elite troops have long since departed from the rear of the Alashan League, actually headlong into the middle of the Gobi, such as a bayonet until it is rooted to the northwest 178 fortress!
