Chapter 1386 Change
Under Zhang Peng's quiet attention, everything in the Mashoubao defenders was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Liu Jing's military order.
Zhang Peng finally knew why the main battalion under his command was so confident that he would continue to compete with the Black Hawk Army here. They actually had regiment-level firepower Sulutong machine guns, with a number of as high as six, and a number of mortars that were far more than the 52nd Regiment should have. Although the caliber of the mortar made by the Tianlan Kingdom was different from the 81mm imitated from the Zhouhui Kingdom, their ammunition reserves were enough to fight a medium-sized battle.
Although he was puzzled by the source of these heavy firepower weapons and equipment, Zhang Peng was very clever and did not ask. Perhaps this was specially sent by the war zone in order to last longer for this lonely army here? Perhaps, this also represents the expectations of some big shots?
As a division-level chief of staff, it is even more impossible for the Army Major General to be familiar with first-level officers in the platoon. In addition to Liu Jing and two other school officials, Zhang Peng may have a little impression of the entire Mashoubao defender, that is, Captain Chen Sheng, who has won the championship of fighting and stinging skills of the 88th Division for several years.
Although Chen Yunfa and the six soldiers under him had completely strange faces, they did not attract the attention of the Army Major General. In order to appease the fortress defenders, the Army Major General deliberately lowered his identity and took the initiative to find Captain Chen Sheng, who served as the cover of the entire army and the palace behind him, and gave a few words of encouragement.
The meaning revealed in his words is very simple. As long as he retreats to the territory smoothly, Captain Chen Sheng's promotion to major in the army is basically a foregone conclusion, which should be of great temptation to every soldier.
The promotion of military positions means that more troops can be commanded; the promotion of military positions, especially the ranks of school officials, also means that they, who are ordinary peasants, officially entered the ranks of "officials" and can become the existence of glorious family members and shining their lintels; the promotion of military positions means that military salaries are higher and they can earn more money to support their families.
The Army Major General also believed that no one could reject such temptation.
Indeed, the Army Major General was right. In the kingdom that had been prevalent for thousands of years in the official position, not many people could withstand this temptation.
But there are always some people in this world who are not participating in the war for promotion, and there are also some who are not trying to become this official for the sake of glorious family members. They came to the front line to strive for their own selfless intentions, but to protect their families. Because their home is in the rear, if they are defeated, their families will not only be lost, but their families will also be bullied by the Black Hawk Imperial Army. As soldiers, they are well aware of the heinous crimes committed by the Black Hawk Imperial Army in the occupied areas.
When the Army Major General left, he did not notice the slightest determination flashing in the eyes of the Army Captain.
At 2 a.m., when the flashlight on the other side flashed three times, it showed that the territory garrison was ready to take the defenders of Mashoubao to retreat to the territory across the Pingshanzhou River Bridge. In order to show their sincerity, the territory garrison fired three flares to each of the positions of the Black Hawk Army wings south of the Pingshanzhou River. The area between 300 and 700 meters on both wings was illuminated. This time, the Black Hawk Army abides by its promise and does not deploy any heavy machine guns.
In fact, what Li Cong, who was completely honest, is not the sneak attack on the kingdom defender who had already hit him, but hopes that they will get out of here and wait until they get to the territory to deal with them. As for now, with the lessons learned the night before, he has no intention of sneak attacks anyway, and the likely result is that one of the few heavy machine guns will be beaten up by the kingdom's mortars again, and the kingdom defender once again retreats into the fortress. So what should he do?
That was really embarrassing. With the lesson from Bai Tian, he did not dare to attack again. The major casualties in Bai Tian were not only scolded by the division commander, but also the majors and lieutenants under his command had a little bad look at him. That was extremely rare in the Imperial Army with strict hierarchy, unless the boss was so stupid that he was resisted by almost all subordinates.
Obviously, the failure in the past few days has brought him, Colonel Li Cong, to this point.
Therefore, even if the garrison in the territory fired the flares to their positions in a nearly provocative way, officers at all levels of the Black Hawk Army regarded it as if they had not seen it. At the meeting of the corps headquarters in the evening, they had learned that the kingdoms might be leaving tonight, but this time no one jumped out and shouted that for the honor of the Imperial Army and the corps, they had to wipe out the enemy army.
The failures over several days have made officers at all levels of the Black Hawk Army clearly know that the Kingdom army, which relies on a strong fortress, is a porcupine covered with thorns. Not only will it be impossible to swallow the blood that bites it, but the cold arrows shot from time to time can also shoot them all over their bodies.
The honor of the empire is a bird, and life is yours. Let them leave quickly! The plan to solve this battle without bloodshed by the corps captain is very wonderful!
This is the characteristic of the Black Hawk Empire nation. It is strong when it encounters weak and weak when it encounters strong. This has been the case for thousands of years, and it is a very normal psychological reaction.
The Black Hawk Empire's people were deserted, and the territorial authorities also showed enough sincerity. In addition, the Major General and Chief of Staff of the 88th Division were personally in charge. No matter how unhappy the defenders of Mashoubao had to prepare to retreat under the command of Liu Jing.
A brief mobilization ceremony was held in the fortress. According to Liu Jing's military order, the Second Company took the lead and with the help of the night, he took the lead out of the fortress building and crossed the Pingshanzhou River with his equipment. Wang Yifan and Wang Yaoyu led the team personally.
After all the Second Company entered the territory, the Third Company carried the bodies of soldiers who died in battle during the day and the injured soldiers to cover the machine gun company carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, and quickly ran across the Pingshanzhou River. Because of Zhang Peng's arrival, Liu Jing cautiously did not use the tunnel. He also knew that the underground emperor of Haicheng did not provide him with support from those big figures but came here to give him this little figure in person. I'm afraid that these weapons and equipment could not see the light and could take huge risks to help him and his brothers. How could he make things difficult for that person? Fortunately, there were enough medicines in the fortress, and it was okay for the seriously injured to support him for one night.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Peng and Liu Jing, the two highest ranks of the entire defender, did not follow the large army to enter the territory first, but chose to stay until the end, which also reflects the unique temperament of the Imperial Guard Commander. Although the Black Hawk Army did not deploy heavy machine guns, the crisis still exists. They may use artillery to block the bridge deck? Or maybe, when the main force of the defender enters the territory, when the fortress guards are too few to be fewer, suddenly block the Pingshanzhou River, leaving a very small force to vent their anger?
The defensive strength of Mashou Fort, which has hundreds of defenders and Mashou Fort, which has only more than one hundred defenders, is completely different concepts. Staying at the end is bound to be the most risky.
But the major general of the army and the lieutenant colonel still chose the most risky one. Based on this alone, the lonely army left behind in Mashou Castle was extremely admired from top to bottom. This is also one of the characteristics of the most elite imperial guards under the king's command that far exceeds other ordinary divisions, not just relying on equipment and training as military consultants of the Zhouhui Kingdom.
"Let's go! Company Commander Chen, leave an infantry platoon to continue monitoring the Blackhawk Empire people, and the rest, set out with us." Zhang Peng watched as the two infantry companies and the machine gun company had all arrived in the territory safely, and Yue Duo Dai Bai ordered Liu Jing.
It’s not that he was afraid of death, but that as long as the last infantry company crossed the Pingshanzhou River Bridge, he was completed by the military order entrusted by the War Zone Command. The soldiers took obeying orders as their duty, and this was true for Liu Jing and the army major general.
"Yes!" A trace of weirdness that the Army Major General in the dark flashed across Chen Sheng's face that could not be discovered by the major general of the army. "Squad 1, the safety alert of the two commanders, send them across the river first!"
Zhang Peng didn't think much about it. He, a dignified major general of the army, had been holding on until the last infantry company evacuated. Even if he left first, no one could criticize him.
The two, with their respective personal guards and the unlucky military investigation committee agent who was beaten by a blow, hugged and ran quickly across the Pingshanzhou River Bridge, which was thirty meters wide, into the fortifications of the territory under the cover of ten infantry squads.
However, before the breath of a completely relaxed breath could be released, the infantry squad escorted them to the territory gave a solemn salute to him and Liu Jing. Without waiting for the two of them to return the salute, the ten infantry squad members quickly turned around and ran towards the fortress under the leadership of the squad leader of the leading sergeant.
