There were too many people on the way, and there were also many elderly and children, so their speed was very slow.
However, everyone was in high spirits. According to the villagers of Shapo Village, there was a regular army of several thousand soldiers stationed at Erdaogou. Moreover, there were tanks, which were powerful weapons of war. They could protect them.
In addition, the army would provide sufficient food and accommodation.
Most importantly, once they fought, they could all retreat to the Clear Breeze Ridge. The terrain there was dangerous and there were many caves. They did not have to worry about losses at all.
These people were willing to follow not only because of the introduction, but also because of the squire of Shapo Village, Du Qiyong.
Du Qiyong was a famous person in Chao Yang County. He was once the top scorer in martial arts in the Qing Dynasty. He was also well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He had been a private teacher in Chao Yang County and educated countless people. After the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Du Qiyong returned to Shapo Village to retire until now.
Du Qiyong was personally leading the team today. This was also an important reason why so many people were willing to follow him.
Zhang Chaoqun did not expect that he actually trained such a character.
However, when this group of people was about ten miles away from the base, Zhang Chaoqun happened to be so lucky that he could observe the situation through the radar station. In the end, he saw a small team of only a dozen Japanese coming towards the direction of the civilians!
The transportation of these devils was a three-wheeled motorcycle and a dozen bicycles.
Although they were still very far away, the 1,000 civilians were too slow. They would be discovered by the Japanese before they reached the base.
Zhang Chaoqun knew that once they exchanged fire with the Japanese, the base would be exposed.
This was something that could not be helped. It was only a matter of time.
Of course, Zhang Chaoqun didn't care about a dozen Japanese at all. He had sent out 500 soldiers!
Among them were two elite soldiers!
However, Zhang Chaoqun didn't want to scare the civilians. With so many people, it wouldn't be good if a stampede happened.
Zhang Chaoqun immediately ordered two Silver Fox armored vehicles to set off from the base to stop the Japanese.
……
The armored vehicle whizzed past.
The civilians were all shocked by these " big " steel tanks. They could not help but stop and watch until the two armored vehicles disappeared from their sight.
Immediately after, people started discussing fervently.
"Brother, that must be our army's tank!”A young man asked the soldier carrying the Mauser excitedly.
"That's right, it's ours!"
" That's not a tank," another soldier corrected." That's an armored vehicle. Bullets can't penetrate it. No matter how many Japanese come, it won't do any good!"”
"You guys didn't see the machine guns on the armored vehicles. How thick are the muzzles? If they hit a person, they can be split into two!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and joy, their eyes shining.
"Lao Cai, tell us, when did you join the army? Also, it seems that many people in your Shapo Village have joined the army.”
"It's a military secret. I can't tell you. I can't tell you."”
"We're all fellow villagers. My second cousin is also from your Shapo Village! Why aren't you telling me?"
"Can military secrets be spoken carelessly?" Lao Cai's face darkened.
As they were talking, light trucks drove over from afar.
Someone from the car in the lead leaned out and shouted,""Everyone, pay attention. The elderly and children are riding! Everyone, obey the order!"
……
The dense gunfire came from behind the commoners. Although it was far away, it still gave the commoners a fright and their expressions changed.
However, although the gunshots were intense, they soon stopped.
While the civilians were still moving forward, the two armored vehicles had already returned.
The smell of smoke, accompanied by murderous intent, actually seemed to have substance.
The commoners could not help but shut their mouths as they watched the two armored vehicles drive away in awe.
At this moment, Zhang Chaoqun was already quickly mobilizing his troops to eliminate the gunshots of the dozens of ghosts. There was no doubt that it would alarm the ghosts stationed in the county.
Zhang Chaoqun had to make preparations immediately.
The platoon was the basic combat unit. Each platoon had an elite soldier as the platoon leader. Each platoon had 50 people, including four Silver Fox armored vehicles, five jeeps, and five trucks.
These teams would receive their weapons, ammunition, and food as soon as possible and enter the various positions to wait for orders.
Zhang Chaoqun was a little excited. Although this was not his first time commanding a battle, it would definitely be more exciting than Lugou Bridge!
Every position was personally designed by Zhang Chaoqun.
Coupled with the radar station's large-scale monitoring function, Zhang Chaoqun believed that he would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese!
However, Zhang Chaoqun was very clear that his biggest shortcoming now was the lack of long-range artillery and aircraft that could obtain air superiority.
And the Japanese had an airport in Chengde!
Chengde was too close to this place. Once the Japanese used their bomber planes, this place would not be safe!
Therefore, Zhang Chaoqun set his sights on the Clear Breeze Ridge.
He didn't plan to wait for Zhao Laoga of the Clear Breeze Ridge to come to him. Time waited for no one. He had to find a safe place for the people he had " kidnapped ".
