176 Scarlet Road

Shortly after the 17th Army, the 18th Army and the First Regiment of Belancher, who was responsible for luring the enemy, Elena's large troops arrived at their scheduled ammunition supply point. Because the First Regiment of the Guerrilla Brigade attracted almost all the enemy's troops, after leaving late that night, Gastenth and his team encountered no obstacles along the way. Occasionally, they encountered some local farmers and had no malice towards them. In addition, before the Republic of Niglu had time to complete the occupation of the west side of Enspan Province, Elena's team successfully completed the second half of the retreat.

Recharge ammunition, food, fill kettles, and rest. After a long retreat, both soldiers and officers were left with deep fatigue. Many soldiers even fell asleep as soon as they arrived at the supply point, without having time to untied their steam backpacks. In this case, although Gastenth and Ivan were still thinking about the life and death of Belancher, they had to let everyone rest in this safe hidden area for more than half a day before re-suming the team.

"My comrades", without amplification equipment, Gastenth chose to speak to the company commanders, and then indirectly conveyed it to the soldiers, "Our battle was very hard and the results were significant. We destroyed the enemy's steam cannons and destroyed their most powerful killer weapon. Although we had more than 2,000 soldiers killed and injured in this battle, it was the heaviest loss Elena suffered since military independence. But I, Gastenth, here I assure every comrade that the death of each of our soldiers and brothers is valuable! They have dedicated everything they can to our revolutionary cause, we will never forget them, and the people will never forget them!"

The officers who listened to Gastenth's speech responded with warm applause, and many people had tears in their eyes. Among the dead comrades were their brothers, compatriots, and even sons and fathers. However, as Gastenth said, dying for the cause of revolution is more valuable and worth remembering than dying in the fields in mediocre fields.

"Dear brothers, we can get rid of the enemy's pursuers and rest here entirely because of the brothers of the 1st Guerrilla Brigade and the 1st Guerrilla Brigade Regiment, who helped us lead the enemy away. Now, when we are safe, they are still being pursued by the enemy, and may even be fighting with the enemy. We love Lena's army, I, our communist army, and will never abandon teammates as long as possible. Now, I order that all the troops will complete the assembly in an hour, and we set out to greet our hero, Brigade Commanderrilla and all the soldiers of the 1st Guerrilla Brigade Regiment, okay?"

"good!!!!"

The officers' conversations were deafening. They got a rest, their weapons were regained ammunition, they filled their kettles, and they also regained their spirits. Thinking of the tragic battle before, everyone felt angry. Now, they wanted to vent this angry!

"Okay, please tell me to each of our soldiers and brothers after you go back. In an hour, we will set off!"

————————————

After completing the speech, the soldiers entered the state of preparation, and Gastenth and Ivan returned to their own rest area, a shed made of several branches. Here, they will make a final discussion on Elena's next strategy.

"Head, although our ammunition has been replenished, the total amount is still not sufficient. If we fight a few more battles, we may fall into the dilemma of insufficient ammunition. We must consider this factor."

Ivan's expression was not as relaxed as when he just listened to Gastenth's speech. "Also, the reduction in personnel this battle was too great. The ambush lost more than 2,000 people, and Belancher took away one thousand people. The rest of our hands is based on the full composition, and only one brigade is left. One brigade is really a bit... "

"I won't make the same mistake a second time," Gastenth's attitude was much stronger than Belancheer. "You should also understand where our advantages lies and where our disadvantages lies. When fighting Nigru, I will never send the soldiers out to fight the enemy. We must give full play to the essence of guerrilla warfare, fight if you have the opportunity, and run if you fight. If the enemy pursues, we will fight against each other, mobilize the enemy in the movement, eliminate the enemy in the movement, and give us space in the movement."

"I understand, boss," Ivan understood what Gastenth means, "I will understand the lessons of this battle well. After the soldiers gather, we will set off!"

Gastenth nodded. Although he had learned war knowledge for a long time on Earth, he also knew the growth and war history of the red country on Earth. But he had not personally participated in the battle of the Heat Weapon Age. Just from the literals and historical materials, it was difficult for Gastenth to completely restore the scene at that time, and it was even more impossible to know the blood, life and the details and experiences behind the short lines of the history books. Take the supply point as an example. At the beginning, Belancheer went

When fighting guerrilla, they didn't even think about the supply issue, which once resulted in the lack of ammunition in Belanche's troops. If it weren't for the Western Theater Command and Prince Eliot's blockade of Elena, Belanche's guerrilla tactics might not have even been able to continue. Now, much of the war experience accumulated by Elena's guerrillas was learned with real human lives. In these continuous battles, everyone was growing, and so was Gastenth.

"Boss", Ivan just went out and turned back, "The enemy is marching towards Elena quickly. If we, the main forces, don't go back, what if Elena's defense fails?"

"Don't worry," Gastenth also considered this. "Although our previous battle suffered heavy losses, it also destroyed the enemy's steam cannons. Without the steam cannon, our first militia division and the second militia division could naturally defend the Luoshan intersection. After all, there are many Luoshan type steam machine guns at home. This weapon can play a huge role when there is sufficient ammunition for positional warfare, so don't worry."

"Understood."

Ivan felt that Gastenth was right. After all, the enemy had no steam cannons, and the situation Elena faced was similar to when she was surrounded by the Western Theater Command and Prince Eliot. What is even more reassuring is that now Elena and Prince Eliot have reached an alliance, and the all-round blockade has become a positional war with rear support. The supply of materials will be much easier, and there is no reason to lose.

"Very good," Gastenth began to clean up the simple map on the table, "When it's time, we'll set off. I hope Belanche and the others are fine."

——————————

Belancher is on the run.

With his soldiers and brothers, when they left the final decisive position, there were about thirty soldiers with him to pretend to be Gastens and his guards. In Belancher's plan, as long as they leave the war zone, find a village, take off their military uniforms and put on their shirts, they are all serfs. At that time, no matter how the enemy looks, it is impossible to find him.

However, things were different from what Belancher imagined. After leaving the war zone, they found two villages, but both villages were empty. Whether it was the landlords, serfs, or the new farmers, they had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the empty village, silent in the summer sun. They found some clothes in the village to put on, but could not place them as serfs as planned. After all, if all the people in the village were exposed, those who had not left would become new flaws.

After that, not long after they continued to flee, the enemy's cavalry and infantry approached them again. Many of the cavalry were extremely experienced scouts and were very skilled in tracking such things. Belancheer and his escape team even fought with an enemy's search team, and had to divide the troops again to ensure their safety and delay the enemy's search progress. At this time, Belancheer still remembered his mission.

Use all means to waste the enemy's time and create more space and time for Gastens and Elena.

"Brig Commander, there is no one in this village."

Kenya Latifah, who had just discovered the village to investigate, was one of the few soldiers with surnames in Belancher's team. He came from Roswell University and was a college student who believed in communism. Gulakos originally wanted to take him to the factory, but the young man insisted on fighting and had to go to the most dangerous front line. Belancher took him with him. From the eastern part of Ensten Province to the western part of Ensten Province, after such a long battle, Kenya Latifah had actually become Belancher's correspondent and staff officer. And until now, only three soldiers who could be with Belancher's side were left.

"These people ran away, we continued to run, we couldn't stay here for too long."

As the person who fought Elena's guerrilla warfare for the longest time, Belancheer knew very well that time was life at this time. He and his three comrades were about to leave when they saw the cavalrymen running at high speed in the distance. They obviously discovered something, threw off the infantry who was searching with them, and were racing towards the village.

"Go away!"

Belancheer knew that if the enemy really regarded him as Gastens, then the one who followed him would definitely be the best scout that the Niglu army could find. They lacked bullets and medicine, and even the heavy steam backpacks and weapons had been buried during the escape in order to ensure speed. In this case, they were found by the enemy, and they had no other choice but to die. Therefore, there was actually only one way to choose for them.

Continue to escape, the longer you run, the safer Gastens will be.

When he thought of it, Belanche and three soldiers left their place where they observed the situation in the village, lowered their bodies and moved through the fields. In summer, the fields were planted with rye, and the wheat fields that were half-height were unattended and were overgrown with weeds. When the bent fugitives ran in these yellow and green fields, it was indeed difficult to find if they did not observe carefully.

However, the retreat of the Belancheers stopped. In front of them, the enemy had begun to build a loose blockade line, which was obviously determined that there were people fleeing near the village. The four people did not hesitate. They turned their heads and changed directions as soon as they saw the enemy blockade line. They must use the fastest speed to get rid of the enemy blockade before the enemy blockade was closed.

——————————————

There is no airtight wall in this world, let alone such a fierce battle. The Gastens army, who had completed the supply and turned back, soon restored the incident from the captives and the peasants hiding in the mountains. Although the sacrifice of the entire First Regiment was not very certain, it was also close to the truth. When this news spread among the troops, the anger of the soldiers approached the peak.

"Everyone is asking for a counterattack, and I also think that the brothers in the guerrilla brigade cannot be killed in vain. Boss, what do you think?"

Ivan said this with his fists clenched, and Gastens naturally understood his thoughts. But what he knew better was that the soldiers were in high spirits, but they must not let their emotions dominate decisions. Gastens combined with existing intelligence and surrounding terrain and decided to have another ambush. This time, his goal was to massacre the enemy 17th Army and 18th Army of the Production Brigade.

"We ambush here," Gastenth circled a place on the map. "All use Luoshan type, and the enemy will definitely relax after annihilation of Belangel's troops. We are caught off guard here, and use Luoshan type, all of them. Don't be stingy with ammunition, fight for ten minutes. When the enemy reports that they are ready to pursue, we will run away immediately and never fight, do you understand?"

The terrain chosen by Gastens is very suitable for escaping, and Ivan has no other opinions. However, before going out to convey the order, Ivan couldn't help asking a question.

"Head, do you say, is Belancheel still alive?"

"He won't die," Gastens's reply was firm, "He is the one who knows guerrilla warfare the best among us. He will never die."

——————————————

"Hey, do you say this person is Gastens?"

Jada Livinoah, the scout captain of the 17th Army of the Eastern Front Command of the Niglu Republic, rode on a horse, raised the head in his hand and asked his companion. The head that had just been cut was still bleeding, dripping and wet his military uniform.

"I don't know." Livinoah's companion, deputy, Quinn Hull also had seven or eight heads hanging on his horse's butt. As the horse progressed, he waved, "Anyway, everyone we met was killed, and everyone who looked like soldiers also killed, right? You won't know if you go back?"

"Yes," Livinoah nodded. He was a senior scout of the 17th Army and was once a hunter in the mountains. After joining the army, he quickly emerged with his own abilities and also won the position of captain of the scout team of the entire army. This time he was the remnants of Gastens, and the scout commander was also the same.

"And, didn't this person find the badge?" Quinn Hull was still speaking. They were in a relaxed mood after winning the battle. "The above notice said that the person with badges is probably Gastens. Boss, I think you are going to win the first prize."

"It's not that easy," Livinoya laughed a few times, "If you really win, I'll treat you to wine."
