"Sir!"
"Have everyone been brought here?"
In the dark and old private house, Battalion Commander Zhang was tapping on the table, feeling a toothache as he looked at the city defense map in front of him.
This was Fengxiang's city defense map in the early years, but now there are many more circles and dots on it. These were all learned through painful lessons learned by tens of thousands of them in the past six months or so.
It can be seen how much effort this kidnapper bandit put in Fengxiang to build it like a fortress.
"We brought them all back. This Zhao Ming is quite honest and didn't ask any questions. Now I have asked someone to explain some basic knowledge to them." Adjutant Guo bowed and said with a smile.
"Um!"
Hearing this, Battalion Commander Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, did you take care of things before setting off? No one will find anything, right?"
"Hey, sir, don't worry, everything is taken care of. Besides, our camp is on the periphery and a very remote place.
When we first set off, we were also the last to arrive. No one knew that we had been living on free wages for so long.
If the superiors hadn't suddenly pulled us to the front line, we wouldn't have been in such a hurry. "Adjutant Guo shook his head helplessly.
After hearing this, Battalion Commander Zhang finally felt relieved.
In fact, he has been eating free wages for nearly a year here. There are 300 people, but he has been eating the full free wages of 500 people.
In the past, there was no need to worry about this kind of thing, because many local armies did this.
And he, Zhang Kai, was not the main battle force before, but was temporarily transferred to the army under the jurisdiction of Commander Song.
"Oh, forget it, since the number of people has been filled, it will be fine. Who told Mr. Song to be the top leader of our Shaanxi Province now?"
Battalion Commander Zhang shook his head helplessly. Because Master Song was still holding an important position, his power was boundless.
Eliminating banditry is also the current main task of this leader, and this Commander Song is a battlefield madman.
When Xi'an Prefecture was besieged before, this Commander Song was responsible for his contribution, and he also made great military exploits for the Northern Expedition.
In addition, Marshal Feng has now appointed a leader with the rank of lieutenant general, and he can mobilize tens of thousands of troops to besiege this mere bandit.
"Oh, but he won't be able to stay alive for long. In order to deal with such a bandit, he has spent so much manpower and material resources, and now more than half a year has passed but he has not made any progress.
In addition, there is a severe drought in the province. If he continues like this, the superiors will have to consider whether to replace him. "
Battalion Commander Zhang snorted coldly, he was very dissatisfied with Commander Song.
After all, he was living a good life near Xi'an Mansion, but suddenly he was pulled over to do this and was forced to go to the front line.
Naturally, I feel resentful in my heart when I have been comfortable for too long.
"Um...Sir, no matter what, we have to go up tomorrow. This..."
"What are you afraid of? There will be a regiment of troops tomorrow, not just our battalion. When the supervising team is pressed hard, you can let this boy Zhao Ming lead his people to the front and block the supervising team. Mouth!
If you dare to rob our supplies, since you are not afraid of death, let him die as soon as possible! "
Battalion Commander Zhang sneered again and again.
At the same time, in the temporary combat command center on the Fengxiang front line, several staff officers were constantly staring at the map in front of them, making various deductions, and all kinds of quarrels.
Their voices even overwhelmed the continuous sound of artillery fire on the front line.
A middle-aged man was wearing a general's uniform, holding a wooden stick in his hand and lying on the wooden chair next to him with his eyes closed, as if he was no longer surprised by the noise around him.
"Have you had enough noise?"
After a moment, a faint but majestic voice came from the mouth of the middle-aged general, and then all the staff members stopped.
His face was red from the quarrel just now, but now he quickly returned to his original state.
The middle-aged general opened his eyes and glanced at everyone with cold eyes.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. The next moment, there was a snap, and the table in front of him was overturned to the ground.
"A bunch of losers! Trash! Idiots! So stupid! What's the point of raising you?"
"Sir...sir...there is nothing we can do about this...this...Fengxiang City is not the Fengxiang it was before. The previous intelligence about Fengxiang has now been completely overturned.
so...."
"So you can only wait for me to pile up the lives of the brothers under my hands? You can only deduce the reason by using human lives to pile up, right?
So what's the use of you? "
The middle-aged general's face was as cold as ice at this moment, and his round tiger eyes seemed to tear all the people in front of him into pieces.
Whoops!
His chest rose and fell violently, and the breath came and went quickly.
"Sorry, I may have lost my temper just now."
He waved his hand and sat back down again.
"Tell me, how is the progress now? Do you have a plan for tomorrow's attack?"
After hearing what the teacher said, everyone felt relieved.
The siege had been fruitless for more than half a year, and the brothers fighting on the front line were under great pressure. They, the staff officers responsible for strategic deployment, were also under great pressure.
Fortunately, their commander was reasonable, otherwise if it had been another general, they would have been shot one by one.
"Sir...Sir, we can now roughly figure out an attack idea.
At present, Fengxiang City is difficult to break. This kidnapper bandit has carried out a major transformation of Fengxiang.
If you want to break the city, the first thing you need to solve is the turrets built every 100 meters next to the moat.
We have demolished many such turrets these days.
But there are still three more, and these three are located near the old city wall of Fengxiang City.
The city wall here is the weakest, and these three gun towers are at the angles of the city wall.
So recently we have been continuously attacking but have been unable to capture the last three turrets.
But if we can capture these three turrets, we can then dig tunnels or blast them as options.
so....."
"So we must capture these three gun towers?" Song Zhe answered calmly.
"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff nodded solemnly.
After hearing the exact answer, Song Zhe fell into deep thought. He gently stroked the armrest with his palms and his eyes were deep in thought.
He had been attacking these three gun towers for three days recently, but failed every time, which showed how difficult they were to deal with.
"Tell me, if I want to take down these three gun towers in one go tomorrow, which troops should I use?"
Song Zhe directly raised this problem to the staff.
Hearing this, the staff officers felt a little constipated on their faces.
Now that the main battle units are almost crippled, everyone is feeling war-weary and no longer wants to continue fighting at the front line with high intensity.
If we continue to request the main battle troops to fight, if this news reaches the ears of those brigade commanders, there is no telling how they will be dealt with in the future.
Besides, this is not authentic.
After thinking about it, the chief of staff just now came up with a reasonable countermeasure.
"It seems that Staff Qin has an idea? Please tell me!"
