"Where is our support?" A telegram from the besieged stronghold was sent to the Qin State General Staff.

"Tell them that our support will arrive as soon as possible, and let them hold on." Wang Jian glanced at the telegram and said.

"Yes, sir." The staff officer saluted and let the rear exit.

"Tell them, be quick, I don't want any major effects, just be able to drop the bomb on their heads." Wang Jian took the phone and said to the other end of the phone.

And in the besieged stronghold. The commander of the Qin army was anxiously waiting for orders.

"Any news?" The field commander asked.

"No sir." An ensign replied.

"Oh. Got it. Let me know as soon as I have any news." The officer said.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant replied.

New changes are taking place all the time on the battlefield, and these changes are enough to lead to some new changes. The Qi army dug more and more earth pits.

"It's damn winter. These Qi troops are like rats. Do you want to hollow out all of this? "The field commander passed through an extremely secluded place. Observing the dynamics of the Qi army with a telescope said.

"Sir, the enemy's movements have become elusive, and they have been digging non-stop. There's nothing we can do about it. A sergeant of the Qin army said.

"I know, but what else can we do about it. Our machine guns can't fire at them, we don't have heavy artillery to keep shelling them, and we don't have many men. What can we do. The lieutenant colonel said.

The sergeant didn't say anything, this was the case, and the people of Qi began to become patient. They received orders from above, asking them to wipe out all the besieging Qin troops at all costs. It is best to be able to capture a group of Qin troops alive. As for the intentions above, that's something the generals think about. For those soldiers who dig pits, they don't need to think too much, they just dig the pits honestly.

The battle began to turn in favor of the Qi army. Although the Qin army had advanced weapons, their weapons and ammunition. There was no shortage of food, and the Qin army had hoarded a large amount of supplies before, coupled with the appearance of canned food, biscuits and other foods, so that the Qin state had sufficient food and ammunition to face a long-term siege. Even medicines, they are not lacking. As for the water source. The Qin State could use drilling technology to drill groundwater to deeper locations. Even without the use of groundwater, the snowfall in the winter ensures that they have enough water to use in the short term. The airfield has a large amount of fuel to provide them for heating. This fuel was originally used for the take-off of the plane, but now it has become the fuel for their heating.

However, the morale of the Qin army is not too high. Although they went through two fierce battles. As a result of the battle, they were all victorious. But they still couldn't be happy.

"Damn the Qi people. Let's stay in this place. Qin Guoren scolded loudly.

"They don't care about you, they're busy digging holes every day." A sergeant quipped.

"Dig a pit, do you want to bury yourself alive? If that were the case, we wouldn't have to stay here. The soldier cursed.

"If that were the case, we wouldn't be here." The sergeant said. As he spoke, he wrapped his coat tightly. It's getting a little colder.

"Beware of Qi army snipers. Don't stick your head out of the trenches. A Qin Army officer said repeatedly.

"Who will look for death." Some soldiers said.

The snipers of the Qi army became frequent. They kept shooting at the Qin army using all the methods that could hit it. For this reason, the Qin army could only hide in the trenches, and they could only observe with telescopes in extreme concealment. The machine gun does not fire continuously. After the shooting. will immediately shift positions. The snipers of the Qi State made the Qin soldiers very annoyed, but the Qin army had nothing to do about it. In this regard, the morale of the soldiers of the Qin army could only stay in the trenches with a depressed will, and nothing could be done.

When the war enters the stalemate phase. Little by little, the morale of the soldiers fell. Normally, the morale of the soldiers is highest during the first thirty days. In 100 days, their morale will gradually run out. At this time, there are usually new troops to replace them. And the current situation of the Qin army is. They had no new troops to take over, they were surrounded. They have been under siege for some time. Morale is weakening little by little.

"How's the communication going over there? Have we been back in touch? The lieutenant colonel asked.

"Not yet. The Qi army had set up a lot of trenches there, and we couldn't get in touch with them, and to make matters worse, our people couldn't get through there and inform each other about the means of communication we had made up. A second lieutenant said.

"Oh. Got it. We can only look at the actions on the other side and act accordingly. The lieutenant colonel said.

"Yes, sir, that's all there is to it for now. We can't do anything now. The lieutenant replied.

"Yes. That's it. The lieutenant colonel said.

"The Qi army is digging holes everywhere, and we're starting to dig holes on the cable side. I think our communications ・・・・・・," the lieutenant said hesitantly.

"Our communications are also about to be cut off. Right? The lieutenant colonel said calmly.

"Yes, sir, it won't be long, if you look at the progress of the Qi people themselves, it is estimated that it will ・・・・・ today, or tomorrow," the second lieutenant said.

"Who knew we could still send a kill telegram. The reinforcements mentioned above have not arrived for a long time. Koreans, Yan people. Zhao Guoren. Where are our people. When will we be able to get out of this damn place. The lieutenant colonel scolded.

Just while the lieutenant colonel was cursing. Their telegraphers were responding to a problem that needed to be solved urgently.

"Near our telegraph cables, the Qi army is digging, and there is a high probability that our communications will be interrupted." The telegram is being sent. And in the Qi army. The young man was venting his resentment.

The war has cost him a lot of his little friends, and they have little to do with the war. but died at the hands of the Qin army.

"Bang." The soldiers dug with all their might.

"Save some effort, you won't have the strength to take food for a while." The veteran persuaded. The reason why the veteran cared about this young man was because he didn't want to see more people die in this war. A lot of people died because of this war, and those young people don't know what war is, they don't fear death at all, they think war is fun. But they simply didn't realize it.

War is dangerous, and the most terrible thing is that they don't realize it until they lose their lives. Many officers put young men in front when they charged. And those veterans are put in the back. Veterans use the habit. They know. And, they know, the first in line is the victim. It won't be long before you're dead. No one has to worry.

And young people, don't know anything. I don't go back to listen to it if I know it. It is in this way that the veterans have seen more people. Most of them died. Many young people have not been here for many days, and they are gone in one battle. Maybe I've seen a lot. The conscience is not happy. The veterans began to pull some young people back, and when they charged, they tried to drag them back, and even so, there were many young people who rushed forward desperately.

It is precisely because of this that the veteran is a little reluctant to go. So, there is no way. Veterans can only look at young people who are pleasing to the eye. Sarcasm in words. Then try to keep them as much as possible.

"Poof." The young man struggled to plunge his hoe into the earth. It just so happens that this mound of soil contains the cable that the Qin military first buried. With a struggling thrust of the hoe, the ignition line was broken.

Young people also feel that war has become unconscious and uninteresting. Cruelty, indifference, the most destructive side of human nature is revealed. People only know about killing. Non-stop killing.

This is war, and only after experiencing the baptism of war do young people know that war is not fun at all.

"Sir. Come and see if our telegram can't be printed. A communications soldier asked.

"Yes. I'll see, what's going on. The second lieutenant walked over to check the telegraph transceiver.

"Smack." The second lieutenant then sent a telegram. The light is not on.

"Damn, I guess the telegraph is out of order, or it's a line problem. How much was the telegram sent. The lieutenant asked.

"There are still three yards left to shoot." Said the communications officer.

"Oh. The problem is not very big. I'll have to send someone to take a look. The second lieutenant said.

The second lieutenant then sent two soldiers to check the line. And he had to go and tell the lieutenant colonel about the latest situation.

"Sir, our telegram ・・・・・・・," said the lieutenant with some hesitation.

"Oh. What a problem. The lieutenant colonel asked, putting down the binoculars.

"There seems to be something wrong with our telegram. Or our line. Something went wrong. The lieutenant said cautiously.

"Something went wrong with our telegram?" The lieutenant colonel asked rhetorically.

"Yes, that's what went wrong when we sent a telegram just now." The second lieutenant said.

"Have you found out why?" The lieutenant colonel asked. "The reason is in the process of being investigated. I'm sure it won't be long before we have results. The second lieutenant said.

"Sir." The sergeant next to him said.

"What's the matter?" The lieutenant colonel asked, looking at the second lieutenant.

"I don't think we need to look at anything. Look there and we'll find out. The sergeant said.

"Yes, give me the binoculars." As he spoke, the sergeant handed the binoculars to the lieutenant colonel. And the lieutenant colonel finally saw through the telescope what he least wanted to see.

"Damn, they cut our cables." The lieutenant colonel saw that there was a section of Qin army's cable line in the soil excavated by the Qi army.

"These damn Qi troops broke our last cable line." The lieutenant colonel scolded loudly in annoyance.

The lieutenant colonel couldn't do anything other than lose his temper. There is no way. That's how the Qi army digs, digs, digs. cut off all the communications of the Qin army. The lieutenant colonel really doesn't know what to say about these damn Qi people.

The people of Qi don't know about the cable at all. Even Tian Heng, who is a civil official, has only seen this thing in the Qin State from the newspaper. As for what it looked like, what the situation was, he didn't know at all. The worst thing is that the newspapers of the Qin State did not report the principle, that is to say the cable to which the telegraph needed to be connected. He didn't know anything about it.

As a civil official, Tian Heng doesn't know, let alone a subordinate. They didn't know what it was, they thought it was the roots of a tree, and some soldiers even used the dug cables as their belts. Not to mention, in addition to being a little thin, the cable is also very strong, that is. It is wrapped with copper wire, and it is a mixture of multiple strands of copper wire.

If the people of the Qin State saw the people of the Qi State holding their cable as a belt, they would definitely be angry. But it's happening. The people of the Qin State are about to face the situation of being completely cut off from communications.

And in the distant Qin State General Staff. The staff officers are reporting this to Wang Jian as an important situation.

"We just got this telegram." As he spoke, a lieutenant colonel staff officer handed the telegram to Wang Qian.

"What is this?" Wang Jian looked at the telegram that had only been sent in half and asked.

"The telegram was not finished, and it was taken?" Wang Jian asked.

"Sir, as a matter of fact, we have only received half a cent of such telegrams." The staff officer replied.

"Oh. What's with. Wang Jian asked.

"We look at it from what was on Telegram and from our own experience. Most likely, our cables. It was destroyed by the Qi people. The staff officer looked at Wang Jian and said.

"Yes. Go on. Wang Jian said.

"Our communications have been disrupted. Other words. We have completely lost contact with more than 300 Qin troops. The staff officer said.

Wang Jian just took a deep breath.

"Okay, I got it. I will report this situation to King Qin. This matter is to be kept strictly confidential. Bring me the communications technology personnel and ask them to figure out how to solve this problem. Wang Jian said.

"Yes, sir." The staff officer saluted and left. Subsequently. Wang Jian informed King Qin of the news by phone. At the same time, this news was also informed to Shang Wen and other cadres.

Shang Wen was surprised to hear the news. Because of the cable, the people of Qi don't know. Could it be that the people of Qi have already mastered the secret of the telegram. Shang Wen then dispelled his doubts. It was inadvertently dug up by the Qi people themselves.

After Wang Jian consulted the technicians on how to restore communication. Then he ordered a plan to be made accordingly.

There are two options given by the technicians. The first is to send technicians to repair the telegraph lines. Or it can be reconnected to the original cable. Rearrange a portion of the cable. But it takes a lot of courage. And it does not meet the current requirements. The advice given by Wang Jian is: Because, the Qin army is currently facing the siege of the Qi army, think about the tens of thousands of Qi troops, and there are ditches that can dig ditches to cut cables, which already shows that the Qi army has surrounded the Qin army. Fortunately, the Qin army has a good reserve of logistics and materials, and if it doesn't have these, then the Qin army is really doomed.

The second is to use new technology to replace this old-fashioned cabling cable. This new technology is radio technology. But. A question arises. The Qin State needed to quickly transport some technical equipment to the front line. There was also the construction of a new radio receiving device there. Then the radio signal is picked up. Then convert it into cable code and send it over again. Moreover, it also needs someone to transport this set of equipment in. This set of equipment is huge. How to get it in is still a problem.

"Take the airlift and let the airship enter the encirclement." Wang Jian directly gave a plan.

"But sir, there are a lot of Qi cannons around us. These cannons pose a big threat to our airship enough, and we are not considering other methods. Or wait for the Yan army to launch an attack on the Qi army. "The staff officer presented his opinion.

"Well, we need to complete this task as soon as possible, and only by restoring unimpeded communication can we solve more people. That's all we have to do. However, we can provide some fire support or some material supplies. Wang Jian said.

"Yes." All of them think that this can be done. Then Wang Jian began to mobilize and deploy. Only a small number of troops of the Qin army's air force entered the Yan Kingdom, which is bad news at the moment.

But there is also two pieces of good news. That's a large number of flying machines on their way closer. Furthermore. Locally, the Qin army had a certain number of armed airships converted from commercial airships. These airships had enough range to reach the skies above the besieged Qin army. Their large load capacity allows them to fit more machine guns and provide strong fire support.

Commercial airships do not value ruggedness as much as military airships. As well as particularly large weapon performance. Commercial airships are important for cargo volume, as well as speed. So, there are two categories of commercial airships, one is lightweight. The main thing is speed, but this aspect gives way to airplanes. However, there are also those that are mainly used for special purposes because light airships are cheaper. It's acceptable.

Heavy airships, mainly cargo. Their carrying capacity turned out to be more than that of military bombing airships. This has to be said to be a miracle, because of the lack of railways in the north. Some large items are difficult to carry and transport by road. The level of machinery in the north is much lower than in the Guanzhong region. So, in order to transport something special. The people of Qin chose to use airships. So, these heavy airships are used to transport something special. Their load capacity has suddenly climbed a lot.

However, it is also because the load capacity has climbed a lot. So, they also have a large load of weapons. This gives them unexpected space to shoot with more weapons.

This is a very beneficial thing for the Qin State. It was a small accident. And on the Qin army airfield in Yan State, the Qin State Heavenly Army received a telegram from the General Staff. But in the face of this telegram. The air commander was in some trouble.

"Recently, there will be a cold air going south, which is very unfavorable for flying. However, the above gave us the opportunity to support the besieged Qin army in an extreme time. This order is a headache. The commander said with conflicting results and orders.

"What should we do. Don't care about the life or death of the pilot. Still is. Wait and see. The commander said hesitantly.
