"The subordinates are incompetent, the second position has fallen, and two heavy machine guns and a large number of cans have been captured by the other side." At this moment, at the third line of defense, Zhang Ying, the commander of the second line of defense, confessed.

"You are just carrying out my orders, not only innocent but meritorious! Go down and rest, you will be able to bring back all the bullets and spirit explosive shells as soon as possible, this is the best result, the opponent's empty machine gun is useless without bullets. Xu Le naturally couldn't blame Zhang Ying, and encouraged him a few words and let him go down to rest.

"The subordinates retired." Zhang Ying didn't say anything, just said goodbye, and then turned to leave.

Compared with Liu Bei and them, the food on Xu Le's side is much better. After all, this place is close to Chen County, so someone has already sent a lot of vegetables and meat, and of course, there is enough flour, and tonight's dinner is destined to be very rich.

Tomorrow their task is to hold their ground until the Zhou Cangbu arrives. Xu Le was also thinking about whether he could directly wrap Liu Bei's department down. With the strength of the third line of defense, this is not a difficult task.

At least he could be sure that if they really wanted to cause mass casualties, they could still leave Liu Bei and Xiahoudun behind. It's just that the other enemy forces will scatter at that time, and it will not be easy to pursue.

The key is Zhou Cang, he is Fang Yun's junior brother, and Huaxia itself is a country full of favors. If he didn't let him behave, it would anger others, as a general of the old qualification faction, it would be very easy for Zhou Cang to put on small shoes for him. is at stake in his career, and Xu Le can't afford to ignore it.

Thinking about it, the guard reminded him again, and he realized that the dinner on his table had cooled down.

"Commander, do you want to take the food to the heat?" The guard asked tentatively.

"How can a soldier be so particular, it's already very good to have to eat without eating dry food. How can you pick and choose? Xu Le shook his head, picked up the cold steamed bun and nibbled on it.

gnawing and gnawing, he suddenly figured out that he was a soldier, and the responsibility of a soldier was to obey orders. It is his task to hold the position, but there is a big task in this premise, that is, to eliminate Liu Bei's department. Then he went to the front line to support Fang Yunbu.

Between favor and military law, he chose military law. In fact, he also felt a little ridiculous, after becoming a division commander, he didn't expect to become an official. Stand up. Although many people can't avoid this kind of change, this year is only in their thirties to have this kind of change and ideas, this officialdom is really a place to hone people.

"Contact General Zhou Cang and tell him that he must arrive around midnight tomorrow, otherwise we will eat Liu Bei's department!" After making up his mind, Xu Le immediately sent someone to inform General Zhou Cang.

In the dark parts of Chen County and Ruyang, pigeon coop liaison stations have been established. The guards immediately sent out a carrier pigeon. Three hours later, the pigeon came to the Ruyang liaison station, and the people in the dark department immediately collected the information, and quickly went out of the city to hand over the information to the next contact, and finally sent it to the Zhoucang military camp an hour later.

It was already three o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Cang had already gone to bed, but he didn't expect a soldier outside to report that he had received an urgent military report. In desperation, he got up and met with the people in the shadows. Only then did he see the information Xu Le gave him.

"TMD, don't let people rest? Tell me about it. Raise the troops in an hour, get up for me in half an hour, and go out immediately after breakfast! Zhou Cang scolded, and then immediately arranged it.

"Whoa!" The two lieutenants, Shi Jian and Han Hao, received the order and immediately arranged it.

"This kid has stiff wings, right?" looked at the eight words on the note, 'When the time comes, the war expires, and the time is not waiting'. Zhou Cang threw the note into the brazier and burned it, and said in a somewhat mocking tone.

Half an hour later, the wake-up call sounded quickly, and the soldiers instinctively got up to rest. Seeing that the sky was dark, I thought that the soldiers on duty had misremembered the time. Fortunately, the order from above was given quickly. Only then did I know that I had to march in advance.

In desperation, I could only simply eat cold and hard dry food, and then quickly gathered and set off. As for the problem of the camp, it will be handed over to the baggage troops and the firehead army to deal with, and today's task is to rush, so they don't need to follow the army to go out together, pack up the camp in the rear, and then slowly go over to prepare for cooking.

If you want to say that you are unwilling, then there must be. The non-commissioned officers of the baggage battalion and the firehead battalion can be said to be non-commissioned soldiers, but in the annual military competition, the weakest army will be demoted to a logistics force, while the original logistics force will be promoted to a regular army. It was about the glory of the soldiers, and almost all the troops were out of the way at the time of the big competition.

Don't look at them as logistics troops, they are also real elite soldiers when they really fight, and self-protection is naturally not a problem. If it weren't for that, Zhou Cang wouldn't have let them work slowly in the rear.

The sky had already brightened, and after a night's rest, Liu Beibu quickly began to rest.

After a simple breakfast, Liu Bei can be regarded as a bloody meal, as long as the soldiers are willing to eat, they can eat until they are full. In fact, everyone knows that this battle may be the last battle for some people, so they eat very hard.

Perhaps, at this moment, everyone has the idea of 'being a full ghost when you die', right?

It's not that they don't have confidence in Liu Bei...... Of course, there is no way to deny this statement, but the battlefield is ever-changing and full of all kinds of unknowns, so no one can guarantee that they can survive safely.

"Where did you go?" Before leaving, Liu Bei asked Xiahoudun, who was belated.

"There's something buried behind us, and while it may not be used, I'm expecting someone to get it." Xiahoudun pointed to the rear of the position and said.

"I hope so, too." Liu Bei smiled and said, if you want to say who will be hit in the future, it will naturally be the ambush of the Fang army. As an enemy army, the more enemies die, the happier they are.

All of them are dead, then they will also have the final victory! However, this situation has hardly appeared in the history of Chinese wars......

Two quarters of an hour later, they came to the third line of defense that Xu Le had prepared for them. On the plain, five pillboxes appeared, which were small enough to accommodate two people stationed inside. Behind the bunkers is a trench, and it is obvious that the bunkers can be connected to each other with trenches, and even to supply supplies.

The layout of the position has become complicated, the wire is dense, and some reflections on the grass can be faintly seen. That's tribulus terrestris all over the subway. What is speechless is that such an arrangement obviously has a certain depth, connecting the other two positions. It directly encompasses the 300-meter lateral range in front of it.

"I think we'd better take a detour!" Xiahoudun said with a wry smile.

"The question is, how to get around!?" Liu Bei said in distress.

Admittedly, they can get around this line of defense. But the big army will inevitably pass through here. When the time comes, the other side will directly leave the position and attack the rear or the Chinese army, so in what way should they resist?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, this is just a field battle, and it is already on this scale, so what kind of difficulty will the siege war be in the future? If you can't even break through this kind of position, then you don't have to fight for dominance in the world, just hang on to the southeast branch!

What really needs to be worried is the defenders on the side of Chen County, if they bypass this army at this moment, no one can guarantee whether the defenders of Chen County will go out of the city directly to meet the battle. If they are pinned down in the front, and the enemy troops in this position are the first to follow and flank from the rear, then the situation will not be optimistic.

At least, Liu Bei doesn't think that these troops are the kind of troops that only know how to defend and don't understand offense. Not to mention that from a distance, in the center of the position, there were more than a dozen armored vehicles eyeing them. The speed of these armored vehicles is not slow!

"How many shells are left?" Liu Bei asked.

"And five hundred rounds, enough for ten salvos!" Cao Xiu replied.

"Divide the artillery into two strands. Attack the first pillbox on both sides. At the same time, General Xiahou and Lao led the cavalry to attack, throwing grenades into the enemy's positions and pillboxes on both sides, further destroying the first line of defense. But don't be in a fight, come quickly. We can't afford to be greedy for this attack, we need to push forward step by step. Liu Bei gritted his teeth. Arrangements are made.

"The last general commands!" When Xiahoudun heard this, he immediately agreed, and in his opinion, this was also the safest way.

"General, the opponent's artillery is beginning to be arranged, and at the same time, the opponent's cavalry units are also preparing to move. It seems that the intention was to use artillery as cover and cavalry to throw grenades to attack. "The lookout quickly reported the situation of the enemy.

Xu Le looked at the time, and now half of the hour had passed, which was equivalent to about ten o'clock in the morning, and there was still an hour before the agreed time.

"Disturb the opponent with a point shot, and order to pay attention to lightning and anti-artillery! Don't use Spiritual Explosive Bombs for the time being, attract the opponent's large forces, and abandon the outer defense line if necessary! Xu Le thought about it and gave an order.

There are less than 5,000 cavalry, and the main force of the other side has not yet attacked, so it is meaningless to eat these 5,000 cavalry at this moment. If the other party is afraid to turn around and retreat, it will not be good.

Pursuing means leaving a defensive position, and weapons such as heavy machine guns will also cause the speed to not increase, even if you are equipped with some repeaters or something, it is useless to increase the power.

"Whoa!" The soldiers quickly went down to report, but it was difficult to say whether the soldiers on the periphery were happy or not.

Fortunately, the tradition of the Fang army is obedience, and even if you don't want to, you will obey the military order. It's just that the soldiers can't understand why they don't start when they can eat this cavalry unit?

The enemy suddenly attacked, and the artillery began its first test firing, but it was not aimed well enough and shot in front of the position. However, under the cover of artillery, the cavalry came to a distance of fifty meters without danger and quickly threw grenades at the positions and pillboxes.

Fortunately, Xu Lebu's defensive measures were very good, and although it was fierce this time, it did not cause much damage.

"Knock out the other party's bunker for me! The cavalry quickly returned to the defense and beware of the enemy's burst weapons! Liu Bei immediately ordered.

The artillery immediately began to prepare, and the second round proceeded quickly, this time accurately falling on the pillboxes on both sides. With the bombardment, the cement on the outside of the pillboxes on both sides was also blown off a lot, but fortunately, steel bars were used during construction, so it did not cause much damage.

"This turtle shell is very hard, but look how I smash him!" Xiahoudun sneered and led his troops to kill them. (To be continued.) )

PS: This is the prelude to the final battle of Liu Bei's department......
