"We should let the 2nd Division, the 12th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the Yan State, retreat twenty miles from this direction. The 13 Infantry Regiment covered the retreat of its 12 Infantry Regiment. "A staff officer simulated the retreat plan of the Yan army formulated by the staff on the sand table of the eastern front, and the staff officers of the Qin State Staff Department were quite diligent, and they had already formulated the march route for the retreat of the Yan army. The plan was detailed to the point where that infantry regiment acted as cover and that infantry regiment retreated. Then this plan will be sent out by telegram, although it is a bit long, but the Qin State Military Observer Group can do so. In fact, the Qin Military Observation Corps served as the military commander of more than two-thirds of the Yan army. In addition to a frontal massive offensive, transfer. They were responsible for the distribution of supplies to the Yan army. This is the military supplies and weapons that Qin assisted Yan State, and the training of soldiers was all done by the Qin Army Military Observation Group.

On top of that, Qin Jun also supported an air umbrella for Yan Jun, although this umbrella didn't play much role now. But it still existed before. Qin was busy cutting military spending. The statements of the two factions were chattering and arguing in the newspapers. These controversies made Qin's work less efficient. Because fighting for the past, fighting for the past, nothing can be solved. This left the Qin government without time to sort out the bad situation in the Qin state. In particular, the military has issued an additional air force. But the government has not done anything about this. The king of Qin had to weigh the pros and cons of the rapid increase in military spending.

In the "Report on Strengthening the Military Air Force of the Eastern Front", the General Staff of the Qin Army clearly told the Shangwen cabinet government. It is necessary to dispatch air power in a timely manner. Because Wang Jian had a premonition that things were not good. Especially the attitude of Yan Guo's withdrawal. Ju Xin came in a hurry, but after getting the order from Qin State to retreat. began to prevaricate, or did not give any reply, and simply ignored Shang Wen's summons. This attitude made Wang Jian feel bad. Because the retreat can only be ordered by the King of Yan. Obviously, King Yan was blinded by the immediate interests. The country of Yan can be regarded as expanding its territory. There can be no retreat under any circumstances.

But this felt very passive for Qin State. This is because we will be in an extremely passive military and diplomatic environment. For this reason, Wang Jian reminded Shang Wen several times that since he could not increase his troops. Then withdraw the army. Either take the initiative to retreat to the border of Yan State, or it is from the No. 3 Highway of Zhao State. A direct highway to the Yandu of Yanguo. The highway was started and stopped, and it was slowly built because of the continuous opposition of Yan Guo.

It would be better for the Qin army to withdraw from Highway 3 to the territory of Zhao. Then divert into South Korea and return to the mainland. For such a suggestion. Shang Wen thinks it is feasible. He asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the King of Qin. The King of Qin directly issued an order to the State Governor's Mansion. Let it retreat.

The order was soon transferred to the airfield on the eastern front of the Qin army. The Qin army began to retreat rapidly. Because that's what the telegram says.

"Your troops must retreat to the border of Yan within three days. Materials are distributed, destroyed, and quickly withdrawn. ”

Received the contents of such a telegram. The Qin army quickly retreated, and their personnel were not many. But there are a lot of material reserves.

"Report sir. Our ammunition, fuel reserves, what to do? A major logistics supply officer came running and asked. When the order is given. The supply officer thought it was too difficult. Because the Qin army hoarded a large amount of military supplies and aircraft fuel on the Eastern Front, which was originally used for combat aircraft, but now it is no longer needed. Moreover, the Qin army did not supply tracked vehicles on the Eastern Front. In particular, large traction equipment such as tractors is used to haul material trucks. It is not possible to transfer this fuel away in a short period of time.

"To be specific, what do we have?" The base commander asked.

"We also have tens of thousands of boxes of ammunition, which include more than seven thousand boxes of rifle, pistol and machine gun cartridges. More than nine hundred boxes contained various aerial bombs. The rest were some shells, grenades. We can't move these supplies overnight. And there is. None of these supplies were on the list that could be given to the Yan army. The above means that the Yan army cannot be allowed to change hands and fall into the hands of the Qi army. If this is the case, the collapse of the entire front line will be accelerated. The major supply officer said anxiously.

"Yes. I get that. The base commander said.

"Since we can't take it. Nor can it stay. Then destroy them. As for those who are served, food or something. Give it all to Yan Jun. All those weapons and ammunition were blown up in a concentrated manner. The oil too, blow him up, destroy him, burn him. In short, be fast. The base commander ordered.

"Yes, sir." The major supply officer saluted and left.

"Quick, put the detonator in place and connect the wires." A Marine Corps engineer sergeant loudly directs a corporal to plant a detonator on a safety yellow explosive.

The corporal quickly ran back with the wire in tow.

"Picked up? Corporal. The sergeant asked.

"Alright." The corporal replied.

"Wire up, we're going to blow up." The sergeant commanded.

"The wires are connected." One of the sappers shouted.

"Fried." The sergeant gave the order.

"Boom. Rumble. A huge explosion was heard, and the Qin army blew up all the ammunition in their base. The earth trembled with a loud explosion.

And on the other side. The rest of the Qin army was also destroying everything they could.

"Open it all and pour it out. Hurry up. Hurry up," a ground staff lieutenant nervously instructed the ground crew to open all the gasoline drums in the fuel depot and then push them down. Qin soldiers cannot use swords and axes to destroy, as sparks will be generated.

"So, that, can you give us some gas?" The two Marine Corps privates asked cautiously.

"Polite fellows, don't you see that there is a person wearing epaulettes here?" The second lieutenant scolded angrily. In the ranks of the Qin army, the second lieutenant does not wear any badge as a symbol. That is, only epaulettes and nothing. So, in general, with epaulettes in particular refers to the rank of second lieutenant.

"I'm sorry, sir. We didn't see it. The two privates immediately saluted.

"Well, time is running out. I'm too lazy to lecture you. There's a lot of gasoline here, so if you want to burn it, take it away. The lieutenant said angrily.

"Yes, sir, thank you, sir." The two privates quickly pushed away with two gasoline drums.

"Keep working." The second lieutenant ordered.

Then the sabotage continued to begin, and by the time of the evening. A fire began to burn inside the base. The fire lit up the entire base. And the rest of the Qin army. Such as tower whistles, bunkers. Inside the bunker. There were fires everywhere. These fires engulfed the entire Qin army base.

"Look. Blaze. What's going on over there at the Qin Army base? A Yan soldier looked in amazement at the direction of the Qin army base.

"Qin Gou is going to get out." A veteran stared blankly at the fire.

"Goodbye. Good bye. I'm going to miss you. Hahahaha. "At this time, the retreating team of the Qin army passed by the Yan army camp. To show the excitement of the retreat. Qin Jun took the initiative to greet him.

"Get out. . Coward. Yan Jun shouted and scolded.

"Get out." As he spoke, a Yan soldier spilled out with a basin of water.

"Hahaha." Qin Jun laughed out loud.

"Here's for you." As he spoke, the Qin army kindly handed over the supplies they had distributed. Can. Sausages, bread and other foods were thrown to the Yan soldiers.

"Fuck it." The Yan soldiers cursed as they bent down to pick up the supplies. And the supplies that the Qin army had transferred to them had already been hoarded by the supply officers of the Yan army. These supplies can be sold to locals for a small amount of money.

And these supplies will not be given to these soldiers, who can only eat all day and do nothing.

The Qin army soon withdrew from the front line. Only the burning airfield remains. The soldiers of the Yan Army watched the Qin army disappear in a daze. They themselves don't know when they'll be able to go home.

If you run away, you will be hung alive and beaten to death. The Yan army dealt with deserters more and more harshly, because the phenomenon of desertion happened every day. Even if you can escape from the barracks, you can't escape the guerrillas outside. Only a few people returned home. But even so, the phenomenon of escape still occurs.

The morale of the Yan army fell extremely. On the contrary is the Qi army. The Qi army is already actively preparing for a major counteroffensive. In order to make up for the lack of artillery, the Qi army prepared a large number of iron barrel guns, which were less accurate but more powerful. Although the range was short, the Qi army soon invented a digging tactic.

The front line was full of Qi soldiers digging trenches with shovels. These soldiers from the peasants were no strangers to digging ditches. They were able to travel ten miles in a day. But they just have to dig a distance. Because, the rest is a matter of the iron barrel cannon of the Qi army.

Barrel cannons require large quantities of black powder. This led to a drastic reduction in the amount of black powder available on the market. But this still could not meet the needs of the Qi army. And at this time. In the name of providing black powder, the state of Chu asked their military observation group to come to the Qi army to visit the battle. For such a proposal, Qi Jun naturally agreed, but Qi Jun himself also had a heart. They began to develop their own black powder. in order to produce their own black powder.

In this way, the state of Chu continued to sell black powder to the Qi army. The Qi army continued to manufacture a large number of barrel cannons to be deployed to the front line for fire preparation. In order to reduce the amount of gold used. Black powder purchased at the expense of the State of Qi. Qi Jun also sold his own signature product, the imitation Qin State Type 17 pistol. This pistol soon spread in the state of Chu. Moreover, the military observer group of the state of Chu also suggested that its own country should establish a small-scale commando combat method such as the state of Qi.

With the completion of the excavation of the communication ditch, a large number of barrel guns began to enter their own gun positions, everything was ready, the gunpowder on the front line had been distributed, and everything was waiting for a counteroffensive.
