Chapter Ninety-Two: The Bandits Depart
Still fighting Taiping Town?
The surrounding adjutants looked at each other.
There is no need for this Taiping town to die, they have more than enough defense, insufficient offense, and it is not at all a climate, and the top priority is to transport away the wealth looted from Shicheng County as soon as possible.
The wealth of a county is enough for them to expand their army and replenish their armaments.
As for Taiping Town, in fact, the wealth in it is not worth coveting.
No matter how rich it is, it's just a small town.
But the adjutants can only think about it in their hearts.
It has not been a day or two since they followed Zhou Tianmin, and Zhou Tianmin's anxious mood at this time, if he dares to say a word, he is afraid that he will be shot immediately.
The adjutants could only bow their heads and go to inform the commanders of each battalion and company to assemble.
The militia bandits were also correcting all afternoon, so the overall state was not bad.
It's just that all the bandits who participated in the battle in the morning had a strong war-weariness in their hearts.
Thinking of the rain of bullets and an invulnerable zombie chasing after them, they didn't want to go to that bird Taiping Town again!
But the military order is like a mountain, and Zhou Tianmin's tyranny has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if you resist, you can only be shot.
If you fight, you may still be alive.
Coupled with the intervention and persuasion of the commanders of each battalion and company, the entire militia and bandit army finally assembled.
Even the five-man team guarding the main road has been recalled.
After losing more than a hundred people during the day.
The number of people who can still participate in the war is about 800 people.
It has three small field guns, which need to be towed in a horse-drawn cart.
Five heavy machine guns, lined up in the front row.
There were also thirty or forty light machine guns.
Each of the militia bandits was fully armed, carrying ammunition belts and wooden grenades.
Obviously, this time, Zhou Tianmin used all the belongings of the entire militia to prepare for a desperate fight against Taiping Town.
You can also see that Zhou Tianmin is a tenacious and resolute person, and he chose to die for the sake of a Taiping Town.
"Report to the county magistrate, all the fighters have assembled!"
The adjutant in charge of counting the number of people stepped forward to salute and said very formally.
"In the future, don't call me the county magistrate, let's call me the regiment chief!"
Zhou Tianmin did not answer, but changed the title question first, and after a toss, he had lost interest in being the county magistrate.
"Yes, Captain!"
"Now, the target is Taiping Town, the light infantry is in front, the heavy firepower is behind, the sappers carry their sacks and sapper shovels, set off, and build a temporary position 500 meters outside Taiping Town, this time we will not fight a charge battle, but a positional battle!"
Zhou Tianmin loudly deployed to all the bandits.
Last time, he suffered the loss of no defensive position, and the stubborn charge, coupled with the zombies who didn't know where to enter, made the entire attacking bandit sequence appear a large-scale rout.
There are no superfluous slogans, with encouragement.
All the bandits, led by their respective battalion and company commanders, set off towards the outside of the county seat.
The atmosphere was a bit dreary.
And Zhou Tianmin didn't care about it, he was already in a bad mood, let alone paying attention to morale.
This time carrying all the heavy firepower.
Even if a zombie appears again, five heavy machine guns can tear it to shreds.
Moreover, this time, the three field guns were also dragged over synchronously, and in the face of the fortifications built in Taiping Town, as long as the field artillery was bombarded for a while, I believe that the attack would be much easier.
Zhou Tianmin sat in a sedan chair with a grim face.
Normally, there is no need to worry too much about the outcome.
But everything worked out as expected.
But the uneasiness in Zhou Tianmin's heart continued unabated.
"Damn, is there something wrong?"
The more Zhou Tianmin thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
"It can't be the commander of Hunan Province who sent troops, right?"
He thought of a possibility, and immediately rejected it.
He occupied Shicheng County for only two days, and then blocked the road of carriage and horses.
It is more than 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital of Hunan Province!
There are no horse-drawn carriages, cars, bicycles, and a series of other means of transportation, and you cannot pass through the main road.
If you want to get to the provincial capital with only those rugged mountain roads, it will take three or five days at the earliest, so it is impossible, even if there is a rumor that has entered the provincial capital, you will have enough time to evacuate Hunan Province.
At the junction of Hubei Province and Hunan Province, the commander of Hubei Province had already deployed a surprise army as a response.
Thinking of this, under the effect of autosuggestion, Zhou Tianmin's heart felt a lot better.
"It's going to be fine..."
Zhou Tianmin's eyes were closed, and he muttered to himself, letting the militia bandits advance, no longer worrying about the small fortifications on the way.
On the other side, Uncle Nine and the general soldiers were still maintaining a marching posture.
There were also several short breaks on the way.
After more than 10 hours of advance, they had already left the provincial capital for more than 80 kilometers, and because they could take the main road, they were more than a step faster than using the mountain road to advance.
But even so, such a high-intensity rapid march was a test of the physical fitness of all warriors.
"Half an hour further, then camp in the same place and rest for three hours!"
The general army quickly made arrangements, rested for three hours, and then recuperated when they advanced to a distance of fifty kilometers from Shicheng County, and recuperated as much as possible, after all, after arriving in Shicheng County, there would be a battle.
With the determination to fight, the warriors continued to advance.
Uncle Nine also silently followed the general soldiers, although he was anxious, but he didn't urge anything, these soldiers have done their best, they are just ordinary people, most of the day to march dozens of kilometers, it can be called very desperate.
At this moment, in Taiping Town.
The outposts at the forefront were the first to discover the movements of the bandits in the city.
The entire bandit was almost out of the nest.
The method of passing through the run-by-level run.
In just over twenty minutes, the news penetrated the town.
"Knock knock!"
The villagers in charge of the vigilance beat gongs and drums as a signal to wake up all the sleeping people.
Zong Shen and Meat Tu Zheng slept in their clothes, and almost as soon as the sound of gongs and drums came, the two of them immediately woke up, took their respective guns, and ran to the defensive position in front of the town.
At this time, most of the villagers had already assembled.
Among them was Shi Chen, who was limping.
Zong Shen and Meat Tu Zheng glanced at each other.
"Wencai, you don't have to participate in tonight's battle!"
Zong Shen looked at Shi Chen, with a resolute attitude in his words.
It is impossible to get a wounded to come back to war.
Today, Shi Chen had five light machine gun bullets, which made him unusual, but it was impossible for him to recover immediately.
If you are reluctant to fight, you will die even a little more.
"Yes, captain, you go back and rest, we are here, we all repel once during the day, this time we must be able to hold it!"
The members of the first team also persuaded one after another.
