Chapter 426: The War Against Iran (4)

The tribesmen of the Konartahetai tribe were intercepted at Kazeron and were not allowed to continue their migration, and they had to stay behind to defend themselves against the invasion of the Xia Empire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the chieftain of the Konartakhtai tribe arrived at Kazelon, he first visited the chief chieftain, exaggerated the fierce artillery fire of the Xia Empire's army, and emphasized that the army of the Xia Empire was not something that his small tribe could resist.

Grand Chief Cazeron will be skeptical of these justifications, he has heard of the strength of the Xia Empire before, is it really irresistible? If they move away from their homeland, it will be difficult to find such a land with abundant water and grass; If the Konartakhtai tribe had not had to do so, they would not have left their homeland for no reason.

The great chief of the Cazeron tribe did not dare to gamble with the entire life of the tribe, and after careful consideration, he also decided to arrange for his people to move to Shiraz for the time being, and then move back after the difficulties; Only a small number of infantry were left to defend the local fortresses.

When the 9th Brigade arrived at the original site of the Konar Takhtai tribe, it was found that the local natives had fled, which saved them the trouble, leaving a squadron of officers and men to search the villages of the tribe to see if there was anything of value and to gather useful goods; The large forces continued to advance.

The chief of staff suggested: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it seems that they will not be away for too long, do you send cavalry to pursue them?" At least recover the belongings they have taken away, they will definitely not be able to go fast with their baggage. ”

"Our cavalry troops are too few, and their property must be heavily guarded, even if they catch up, they can't help it, and sacrifice the cavalry troops in vain, which is very unfavorable to us, or pursue slowly, they will definitely go to Shiraz City, and as long as Shiraz is occupied, those goods will still be ours." The brigade commander was very confident.

The chief of staff nodded, agreeing with the brigade commander's opinion.

The mercenaries successfully occupied the unmanned positions on the North Hill and continued their advance in the direction of Kazelon.

The collapsed cliffs did not affect the mercenary advances much, and a road several meters wide was quickly cleared.

The fortress of Dekhkochne in Kazelen was built on a treacherous position between two mountains and a valley, but less than 200 men were left to garrison the area, and their artillery fire was not sufficient, and it was quickly occupied under a burst of heavy artillery fire from the mercenaries, allowing the mercenaries to open a smooth passage to Shiraz.

The brigade commander did not care about this, but ordered the troops to camp in Kalunze and rest for 2 days before advancing, the reason why he chose to advance slowly was to hope that they would bring the news to Shiraz, under the fear, they would definitely move all the tribes around Shiraz and their wealth to Shiraz, as long as Shiraz was successfully occupied, it would be the spoils of mercenary warfare.

For the smooth arrival of Cazelen this time, there was almost no battle damage, which made the brigade commander very emotional; Passing through so many dangerous places along the way, if the commander knew to order the troops to charge, as in the Russo-Japanese War, how many lives would be lost? It seems that the gradual rise of the Xia Empire is not unreasonable, cherishing the lives of every officer and soldier, after several wars, all of them are veterans with rich combat experience, so that they will become stronger and stronger; Moreover, there are an unlimited number of Chinese who continue to join the army, and the army will become stronger and stronger the more wars, and it will be difficult for any country to match; At the beginning, Japan still wanted to conquer the Chinese, which seems really ridiculous, and the Chinese can kill Japan even if they use people.

At this time, the chief of staff quietly came to the brigade commander and reported: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, the soldier found a secret warehouse buried deep underground in the chief's residence, and the soldier did not dare to open it without permission, so please ask the brigade commander to go over and make a decision. ”

"You can go to the scene and be in charge of the command!" The brigade commander waved his hand and said disapprehantly.

"Yes, Your Excellency Brigade Commander!" The Chief of Staff responded, and turned to leave.

How much oil and water can the secret warehouses of these small tribes have? The current brigade commander has long coveted the wealth of Shiraz City, which is the place where wealth gathers, and compared to Shiraz City, this is a poor and remote mountain.

Half an hour later, the chief of staff hurriedly returned to report: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we are very happy, our harvest this time is not small, there are hundreds of kilograms of gold in the conspiracy warehouse alone, and there are more silver ingots, silver dollars, jewelry, etc., we have made a fortune." “

The brigade commander said angrily: "Calm, calm, what kind of wealth has our brigade never seen, is it worth making such a fuss?" Let's go, let's see! Although the brigade commander said angrily, he was still smiling, and he was very happy in his heart, and he was also curious about the treasure that the chief of staff said.

Coming to the treasure together, in fact, there is a passage to the underground in the mezzanine of a wall, and together they reach the underground warehouse along the stairs, and the guards have already been guarding the door with torches.

After arriving at the warehouse, the brigade commander was also stunned by the scene in front of him, the gold bars on the shelves were easy to judge, the boxes of silver ingots and silver dollars were not easy to measure for the time being, and there were a large number of gold and silver products on the shelves, etc., which filled a warehouse of several tens of square meters.

"This, this, this must be all the wealth of the Cazeron tribe for hundreds of years." After half an hour, the brigade commander came to his senses and stammered.

The chief of staff asked, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what should we do?" ”

"Seal it up first, send a squadron of officers and soldiers to be responsible for guarding, prohibit anyone from approaching within 100 meters of the house, and at the same time telegraph to Commander Song, let the war zone send someone to receive it as soon as possible!" The brigade commander said very cautiously.

Although they coveted these riches, they did not dare to touch them, and after a few more glances, the brigade commander reluctantly left the warehouse.

At the brigade headquarters, the chief of staff took the telegram and said: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, Commander Song coordinated with the Wehrmacht stationed at Bushehr Port to send 1 battalion of officers and soldiers to receive the warehouse, and ordered us to guard the treasure. ”

The brigade commander asked: "Chief of Staff, how long will it take for their men to arrive here?" “

"It will take about 2 days to march in a hurry!"

"When will the artillery battalion be able to keep up with the big forces?" The brigade commander asked again.

The chief of staff replied: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, they have crossed the Daraki River and are expected to be able to catch up with the large forces tomorrow afternoon. ”

The brigade commander stared at the map, measured the distance to Shiraz, and ordered: "Order the 2nd Wing, the cavalry battalion and artillery company directly under the brigade to set up camp on the west bank of the Karihaja River as soon as possible, and ensure the safety of the road to this place." The brigade headquarters and the remaining units awaited the arrival of the Wehrmacht. ”

From Kazelen to Shiraz, there was a high mountain to climb, which had to be occupied in advance in order to ensure that the large army could reach Shiraz without any problems.

"Yes, Your Excellency Brigade Commander!" The chief of staff drafts the order, which then waits for the brigade commander to sign it.

The chief of staff felt that the brigade commander had made such an arrangement.
