"Why do I get the feeling that Stronghold 144 is being attacked too easily?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously, "Will there be any accidents? Let's be more careful."
More than half of the granary had been burned down, and the armored brigade was still rushing back from the north to provide reinforcements. By the time the armored brigade arrived, the Razor Sharp Company would probably be long gone.
There was not much resistance in the entire stronghold. Although the stronghold was in chaos, it was mostly due to the panic of the residents.
When the deputy commander heard Ren Xiaosu say that, he was speechless. You call this easy? You've already killed three regimental commanders, and even the deputy commander is in your hands, so you call this easy?
Are you even speaking like a human being?
But when the granary was burning down, Ren Xiaosu realized a third of the granary was empty. He asked the deputy commander, "Has all the food been transported to the front lines?"
"No." The deputy commander shook his head. "They were all bought by the various commanders before the war started."
"They still have to buy their own food for the war?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned.
"No, they're planning to sell the food to the residents at a higher price after the war starts. The higher-ups don't even know about this. The commanders said that if we sell the food to them now, they can just replenish the stocks when the price of the food drops. No one will find out about it. After all, the war didn't actually require a lot of food in the original plan." The deputy commander said, "At least not all of it will be used up."
But now, Ren Xiaosu had actually provided cover for the Soong Clan commanders who were secretly hoarding food. After the fire, no one knew that a third of the food had been lost.
But what made Ren Xiaosu unhappy was that although the burning of the granary had a huge impact on the war, it was definitely not fatal. That was because the Soong Clan would always have a way to find the food that had been scattered.
…
At this moment, all of the commanders in the Soong Clan's headquarters had dark expressions on their faces. Commander Zong Ying suddenly slammed the fountain pen in his hand onto the table. "What the hell is Zong Wu doing? We've already allowed him to lead the 131st Brigade to hunt down the enemy and even sent two supernatural beings, so why did he still let the enemy burn down Stronghold 144 right under his nose? And what are the garrison troops of Stronghold 144 doing? Can't they organize a defense at all? Are they just going to watch the enemy burn down the granary?! "
As he spoke, Zong Ying's anger was about to explode. "Kill their leader for me …"
Before he could finish, Zong Ying remembered that the 1237th Regiment did not have a regimental commander, and even the deputy regimental commander had run away.
When she was angry, she didn't even have a scapegoat to vent her anger on!
He did not even have a scapegoat to vent his anger on!
"Mobilize all of the strongholds' food reserves and seize all of them. Also, hand over whatever food you have in your hands. This matter concerns the success or failure of the consortium, so stop playing your own little tricks! Do you think I don't know what you did? "Zong Ying said coldly.
Zong that they are the troops. "The Soons had the" they "that. that they were the" that the "not". "
There was also a lot of food in the hands of the generals.
Not that they they they they they "not" that that that they "it. that. Many of the generals, they" Long "." "." "
Don't be fooled by the fact that a catty of rice was only worth a dollar or so. Many people felt that this thing could not be used to make money. However, if there was a war, the price of rice might go up to four, five, or even ten.
At that time, the stronghold's residents wouldn't starve to death, right? Therefore, the residents' money would eventually end up in the hands of these hoarding generals.
Who wouldn't covet ten times the profits? They were sucking the blood of the stronghold residents.
Suddenly, a general said, "The problem now is, what should we do with Fortress 178's troops? We can't possibly allow them to continue causing trouble in the rear, right? "
Zong Ying was also feeling bitter. Of course he knew that if the Razor Sharp Company continued to suffer like this, they might not even be able to fight this war.
But now that they knew what the Razor Sharp Company was relying on, what could they do to them?
The so-called blitzkrieg in war was to use aircraft, tanks, artillery, armored, and motorized infantry to form a dense armored assault group. With the coordination of tactical air forces, they would quickly break through the enemy's line of defense and quickly penetrate the enemy's deep targets. They would then divide and surround the enemy and annihilate the enemy.
Now that they did not have aircraft, they could only rely on tanks.
If a tank traveling at 60 kilometers per hour on the battlefield was called a blitzkrieg, then what the fuck was a tank traveling at 120 kilometers per hour?
Compared to a steam locomotive, their own tanks were like tractors. How were they supposed to catch up?!
"Activate the follow-up plan ahead of time." Zong Ying said coldly, "If Fortress 178 thinks they can win the war just like that, then they're underestimating our Soong Clan. I'm going to wipe out Fortress 178."
That night, several pontoon bridges on the Blackstone River remained motionless amid the waves. These were the supply lines and lifelines that Fortress 178 relied on to advance. As such, they were built to be extremely sturdy, and the Engineering Battalion would maintain and replace their components every day.
But on the dark surface of the night, hundreds of speedboats suddenly approached the pontoon bridges on the Blackstone River. At first, these speedboats were propelled by the soldiers on board using oars instead of manpower. This way, they could quietly approach the pontoon bridges by about ten kilometers.
But when they got within ten kilometers of the pontoon bridges, the speedboats suddenly revved their engines and roared towards them. These speedboats were armed with a large amount of TNT explosives.
By the time the garrison troops of Fortress 178 near the Blackstone River discovered them, it was already too late.
The heavy machine guns roared as they tried to intercept these speedboats. However, there were too many of them, and they were all determined to die. It was as though they did not care about their lives anymore.
A rumble of explosions rang out. Before the speedboats could hit the pontoon bridges, the Soong Clan soldiers on board ignited the detonators attached to the TNT explosives.
The moment the detonators exploded, the TNT explosives also detonated, and the huge pontoon bridge broke down from the middle.
As the Soong Clan soldiers desperately charged at the pontoon bridges and detonated the explosives, the pontoon bridge that Fortress 178 relied on to cross the river shattered and drifted downstream.
In an instant, the Blackstone River split the troops of Fortress 178 on both sides of the river into two again. The troops of Fortress 178 on the north bank no longer had a way out, and their supply lines were also cut off.
The commanders of the fortress on the north bank looked at Zhang Jinglin. "Commander, what should we do? We … "
In the military camp, Zhang Jinglin frowned as he looked at the raging flames on the river in the distance. "Prepare to fight with our backs to the wall!"
But the Soong Clan's plan was not over yet. A group of the Soong Clan's elite troops had already set off from the Alxa Alliance at the rear. They plunged into the Gobi and headed straight for Fortress 178 in the Northwest like a bayonet!
