Chapter Forty-Four: Heavy Troops Attack

Seeing the puzzled expression on Zhao Zhigang's face, Yang Xingguo did not hesitate, and directly explained: "The eldest prince of the Zhou family who fled to the county town does not know our true strength, which is very beneficial to us......

"Secondly, the Lao Maozi garrison in the county town has only one regiment of more than 1,000 people, and excluding the one company that has been lost in our hands, he may use less than two battalions of troops......"

"As long as Lao Maozi sends less than one battalion, I am confident that I can defeat them......"

"Don't forget, we now have not only hundreds of brothers in our hands, but also a heavy machine gun, a light machine gun......"

"As long as it is used well, it will inflict heavy losses on Lao Maozi's troops attacking us, and there will be no problem at all......

After speaking, Yang Xingguo's dignified face showed a determined expression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Facing Zhang Shanlin on the side, he decisively ordered: "Squad Leader Zhang, you work harder, stay a few brothers, touch the county seat in the shortest possible time, and see if the old Maozi in the county will send troops, if so, how many people will they dispatch, and how will the equipment be......"

"After departure, regardless of whether there is any movement in the county, you must return to ...... after four hours."

"Also, in order to speed things up, go to the convoy and bring out a few horses, although these horses are horses, but, in any case, four legs are faster than two......

"As for the remaining brothers, hurry up and rest and have lunch...... If Lao Maozi really dares to come, we will beat them hard in this Zhou family compound...... If it's possible, kill them right here......"

Twenty miles away in the county seat, after layers of dotting, the eldest son of the Zhou family finally met the best officer of Lao Maozi stationed in the county...... Colonel Regimental ......

After sending a few gold bars that he carried with him, the eldest son of the Zhou family directly proposed that the Zhou family was attacked by bandits, hoping that the Russian garrison could help send troops to defeat the bandits.

At first, Colonel Lao Maozi did not agree, even though he accepted a few gold bars given to him by the Zhou family.

However, when he heard that the bandits who attacked the Zhou family were not impartial or unfortunate, and it happened that Zhao Zhigang, who had been carefully planned by himself and should have been wiped out by the whole army at this moment, he had a very bad premonition and quickly hit the heart of Colonel Lao Maozi.

According to his own plan, last night, Zhao Zhigang should have died at the hands of a company sent out by himself.

However, this Zhao Zhigang is not only alive and well now, but also attacked a Han Chinese landlord who supported the Russian imperial army.

Could it be that a company sent out by himself didn't eliminate Zhao Zhigang, or Zhao Zhigang, who got the news in advance, didn't attack the level at all......

Faced with this series of questions, the colonel immediately called the adjutant and asked: "Lieutenant Hastan, I want to know if there is no news from the company that left the city the day before yesterday......

"Yes, Your Excellency...... According to the order, they should send someone back at noon today to report the situation...... However, until now, we have not waited for a company of heralds ......."

"I am about to ask Your Excellency the regiment commander for instructions, whether to send a herald from the regiment headquarters to the checkpoint to inquire about the situation......

Hearing this, the bad premonition in the heart of Colonel Lao Maozi became even stronger......

Even if Zhao Zhigang didn't attack the level, the company that set the trap in the level shouldn't have sent people back, could it be that something happened in the company......

Thinking of this, the colonel's head with a gloomy face decisively ordered: "Then what else can you do, don't you send someone immediately......

"In addition, inform the second battalion stationed in the city to assemble immediately and prepare for departure...... A heavy machine gun and all the ammunition that the Arthur Command had just equipped us with were also equipped with the 2nd Battalion...... Regardless of whether there is an accident in the company or not, as long as Zhao Zhigang appears, we will send troops to destroy them......"

In the face of the order, the lieutenant adjutant had a visibly shocked expression on his face.

Then, with an incredulous expression, he asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency Regiment Commander, is it too much of a fuss to dispatch a battalion of troops and a heavy machine gun to deal with a group of bandits......

"You're confused...... Now life and death are unknown...... If there is an accident in the first company, it means that Zhao Zhigang has the combat power to destroy one of our companies...... At this time, if another company of troops is dispatched, isn't that a death sentence...... Immediately went to give the order, and half an hour later, the second battalion set off...... When the time comes, I will let the eldest prince of the Zhou family, who supports the imperial army, lead the way for the second battalion......"

Nearly 400 old Maozi troops, carrying heavy machine guns, were touched by Zhang Shanlin as soon as they left the city.

Zhang Shanlin, who had never fought with so many old Maozi, subconsciously gasped and immediately made the decision to go back and report in person, leaving the two brothers to continue to monitor Lao Maozi.

The horse, which was originally only used to transport supplies, actually ran out of the speed of the war horse under Zhang Shanlin's desperate whipping.

After walking more than 20 miles in just an hour, he met Yang Xingguo, and told all the information about Lao Maozi he saw......

"A battalion of old Maozi troops, and also a heavy machine gun...... The old Maozi in the county really looks down on us......" Yang Xingguo, whose face was solemn and his brows were tightened, couldn't help but open his mouth and muttered to himself......

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhigang beside him said with a firm face: "Big boss, Lao Maozi is powerful, we are not opponents at all...... I hope that the big boss can agree to my previous request, give me twenty brothers and enough ammunition, drag the main force of Lao Maozi, and buy time for the big boss to retreat......"

What moved Zhao Zhigang was that as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xingguo refused......

"Even if it really gets to that point, I, Yang Xingguo, will not let my brothers die for me. If you want to retreat, you will also retreat together, and no one will have to stay......"

"Besides, with a battalion of old hairy men and a heavy machine gun, it's not impossible for us to repel them......"

"Lao Maozi has a heavy machine gun, and we have a ...... On the battlefield, if we can knock out Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun first, then our heavy machine gun firepower can dominate the entire battlefield......"

"Plus we have plenty of ammunition and a Madsen light machine gun to provide fire support at all times...... I am sure that when the time comes, as many of Lao Maozi's attacking troops will be wiped out by us......"

Yang Xingguo's idea is very good, but it is very difficult to really do it.

Zhao Zhigang on the side only after a short period of contemplation, he saw the shortcomings in Yang Xingguo's thoughts.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he asked rhetorically: "The big boss, Lao Maozi only has a heavy machine gun, we treat the heavy machine gun as a treasure, and they also treat it as a treasure." When the battle comes, Lao Maozi will definitely send heavy troops to protect the heavy machine gun. It is almost impossible to knock out their heavy machine guns at the beginning of the battle......"

"No, we have a chance...... "As long as we can hold on to Lao Maozi's two attacks, I have a way to knock out their heavy machine guns......"

After speaking, a very bold idea came to Yang Xingguo's mind.
