Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 367 Troops dispatched
The sudden sound of gunfire directly alarmed the entire artillery battalion.

Before the soldier who went to find Li Erhu had time to tell Li Erhu what happened, Li Erhu heard gunshots outside.

This time, in the attack on Zhangzhuang stronghold, the artillery battalion of their vanguard regiment was the protagonist, and the equipment they used was very special.

In order to ensure that no unexpected situations occur and no information leaks occur, Li Erhu carries out all security work in accordance with the strictest standards.

At the same time, because this matter is really too important, Li Erhu's heart has been tense.

The sudden sound of gunfire at this moment made Li Erhu instantly excited like a frightened bird.

"Where are you shooting!"

Li Erhu immediately drew out his pistol and rushed out of the tent that served as the battalion headquarters.

"Battalion Commander, a security officer from the independent regiment requested to inspect the security work of our artillery battalion and barged in!"

Li Erhu had just rushed out of the tent when the young soldier who came to report briefly told Li Erhu what had happened.

Although the young soldier did not see Zhu Ziming's attempt to break into the artillery battalion, the gunshot just now was enough to make it clear that Zhu Ziming must have forced his way into the artillery battalion.

If the enemy was coming, there would not be only one gunshot, and it would not have come from the front.

What's more, the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment was under the protection of the remaining two infantry battalions of the independent regiment. Even if some enemies reached the garrison, the guards of the other two infantry battalions of the independent regiment would have to fire warning shots first.

Instead of issuing a warning from the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion.

"Security officer of the independent regiment?"

Li Erhu frowned as he listened to the young soldier's report. He immediately followed the young soldier with his pistol to the front trench, intending to see what was going on.

"What is the security officer of the independent regiment doing here in our artillery battalion?
Don’t I remember that Captain Li gave the order?
Did the other party come here on their own, or did Deputy Head of the Group Xing Zhiguo give the order?"

Li Erhu felt something was wrong.

He remembered that when Li Yunlong led the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment away, he specifically gathered several battalion commanders and issued a tough order.

No one is allowed to go to the vanguard regiment's artillery camp unless they obtain permission from Li Yunlong or Qin Yangming.

No cadre of the independent regiment, including the deputy commander Xing Zhiguo, could interfere in the work of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

Li Erhu was in charge of all affairs of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

Only when attacking the Japanese's artillery towers and strongholds on the banks of the Dongzhang River would the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion mobilize some artillery to provide support.

In other situations, the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion does not need to worry about anything.

If the remaining troops of the independent regiment were attacked by the Japanese, the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment would have to withdraw to Fu'an County as soon as possible, or destroy the special batch of artillery shells as quickly as possible to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Japanese.

The order was very clear, it is impossible that someone did not understand it.

So at this moment, Li Erhu felt very strange about what the young soldier said about Zhu Ziming, the security officer of the independent regiment, coming to the artillery battalion to inspect the security work.

Logically speaking, even if the security work of the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion needed to be inspected, it should be Xing Zhiguo who came, not Zhu Ziming, the security officer.

Although Zhu Ziming was responsible for the security of the independent regiment headquarters, that was limited to only a part of the security work.

The most important job is still counter-espionage and intelligence gathering.

Inspecting the security and protection of the troops...is not the main job of Zhu Ziming, the security officer.

Moreover, Zhu Ziming was just a security officer, at most a company-level cadre.

Not to mention checking how the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion's security work was done, he wasn't even qualified to know the detailed equipment situation of the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion.

That's why Li Erhu asked the young soldier whether Xing Zhiguo had brought people here.

If Xing Zhiguo had come, the situation would have been different.

Xing Zhiguo came here, most likely because the troops were preparing to set off, so he came to inform us.

But in Li Erhu's opinion, this possibility is very small.

Because the Vanguard Regiment's Artillery Battalion has its own radio station, if the Vanguard Regiment's Artillery Battalion needs to be dispatched, or if the remaining troops of the Independent Regiment need to be mobilized, the Vanguard Regiment's Artillery Battalion needs to follow.

Then Li Yunlong should have sent a telegram directly to the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment instead of asking Xing Zhiguo to pass it on.

"No, only the security officer Zhu Ziming came with two guards. I didn't see Deputy Head Xing Zhiguo."

Listening to Li Erhu's questions, the young soldier quickly answered Li Erhu's doubts and told Li Erhu who the people who came were.

Listening to what the young soldier said, a hint of doubt flashed in Li Erhu's eyes, and then he quickened his pace and walked towards the direction where the gunshots came from.

……

In front of the front position of the vanguard regiment’s artillery battalion.

At this moment, Zhu Ziming looked at the vanguard soldiers who were surrounding him and the bomb craters on the ground in front of him, feeling a little incredible.

He never expected that the soldiers of the vanguard regiment would actually dare to open fire.

After the gunshots rang out, Zhu Ziming's restless mind calmed down a little under the shock of the gunshots.

However, when they saw the guard soldiers in the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion begin to assemble and each enter their positions, it was obvious that they were preparing for combat.

Moreover, Zhu Ziming also heard the emergency assembly call coming from the bases of the other two infantry battalions of the independent regiment.

No matter how stupid Zhu Ziming was, he knew that this time the matter had become a big deal.

Because he trespassed into the artillery position of the Vanguard Regiment, the entire Independent Regiment was placed under martial law, and chaos broke out in the troops just before the attack was about to be launched.

This time Zhu Ziming is in real big trouble.

Although Li Yunlong did not tell all the soldiers in the independent regiment the detailed combat mission.

However, the soldiers of the independent regiment were still able to infer the approximate combat objectives from some trajectories.

At this critical juncture, everyone is preparing for battle and the entire army is on high alert, allowing the troops to launch an attack on the target at any time.

In this highly tense military atmosphere, sudden gunshots can easily lead to misunderstandings among the soldiers.

Especially the gunshots inside the troop base.

After all, some time ago, Qin Yangming led the special forces of the Vanguard Regiment to give the Independent Regiment a severe kick.

Let everyone see the combat effectiveness of a small elite force.

The sudden sound of gunfire from inside could easily lead the soldiers to mistakenly believe that a new elite Japanese force had sneaked into the vicinity of the regiment headquarters and was planning to launch an attack on their regiment headquarters.

Therefore, when faced with this situation, the soldiers of the independent regiment will gather quickly and prepare according to the response plan formulated by Li Yunlong, Qin Yangming, Ding Wei and Kong Jie. If it is true, then there is nothing to say, just start fighting.

But if this was a blunder caused by someone's mistake or someone's personal reasons... then the situation would be hard to say.

If it was just a misunderstanding caused by an accidental discharge of a weapon by a small soldier, then there would be nothing to say. At most, a few scoldings and verbal criticism would be enough.

After all, the opponent is just a small soldier. It is normal to make mistakes under such high pressure and there is no need to blame him too much.

But it’s different if you replace them with cadres like Zhu Ziming.

As a veteran and a cadre, moreover a security officer at that, Zhu Ziming would never allow such low-level mistakes to occur.

It's like a kindergarten kid saying one plus one equals three. Everyone just smiled, said a few words, corrected it, and the matter was over.

But if a junior high school student says that one plus one equals two, the situation is different.

So after Zhu Ziming calmed down, he instantly realized that he was in big trouble this time.

He ignored the warnings of the soldiers of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion and trespassed into the enemy's position, causing the enemy to open fire and prompting all troops to prepare for battle.

Zhu Ziming cannot avoid this responsibility.

Thinking that the troops were about to launch an attack on Ping'an County and that he would be able to go to the battlefield to gain military merits, if he failed at this critical moment, he would most likely be unable to join the battle and gain military merits.

Zhu Ziming felt a little regretful.

"Zhu Ziming, ah Zhu Ziming, why did you have to come to the artillery camp of the Vanguard Regiment for no reason?!"

Thinking that he might be punished later, Zhu Ziming began to regret his impulsiveness.

After regretting it, Zhu Ziming’s mind worked quickly, trying to see if he could minimize the impact of the incident and avoid punishment as much as possible.

……

"What's going on? Where is the shooting?!"

Lijiazhuang, headquarters of the second battalion of the independent regiment.

Xing Zhiguo, who was patrolling the Second Battalion, heard the gunshots outside and immediately put down the Czech light machine gun he was checking and stood up.

The second battalion commander Shen Quan next to him turned his head to look in the direction where the gunshots came from, and the garrison locations of various troops quickly emerged in his mind.

"Oh no, that direction is the artillery battalion of the Vanguard Regiment!"

After Shen Quan thought of the troops in that direction, he immediately spoke to Xing Zhiguo.

Shen Quan thought of it, and Xing Zhiguo also thought of it.

"Why is there shooting from the Pioneer Regiment's artillery battalion?
Quick, call the Pioneer Regiment Artillery Battalion and ask what's going on? !
Shen Quan, immediately mobilize the 4th and 5th companies to move closer to the Vanguard Regiment Artillery Battalion’s base. Make sure to protect the Vanguard Regiment Artillery Battalion!

If the Pioneer Regiment Artillery Battalion’s base is attacked by the Japanese, immediately cover the transfer of the Pioneer Regiment Artillery Battalion!

Notify Wang Huaibao and have him mobilize the troops to move closer to the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion! Let our artillery battalion prepare for battle and set up the mortars! "

After Xing Zhiguo realized that the direction from which the gunshots came was the location of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion, he immediately gave the order.

Before Li Yunlong left, he specifically told him to protect the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment. Even if the artillery battalion of their independent regiment was bombed by the Japanese, he still had to protect the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment.

The Independent Regiment should not interfere in the affairs of the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion, let the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion handle it themselves. The Independent Regiment must meet any needs of the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion.

Thinking of Li Yunlong's instructions and what Li Yunlong said about the independent regiment's attack on Zhangzhuang stronghold, whether it could capture Zhangzhuang stronghold in a short time depended on the situation of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

Xing Zhiguo became anxious.

Xing Zhiguo is quite capable as he is able to partner with Li Yunlong and cooperate with him in commanding the independent regiment. He also understands how risky it is for their four regiments to attack Ping'an County this time.

We also know how important it is for the independent regiment to quickly capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold and the four regiments to attack Ping'an County this time.

Therefore, they naturally attached great importance to what Li Yunlong said, fearing that some problems might have occurred in the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment.

Therefore, Xing Zhiguo directly gave the only high ground near Lijiazhuang to the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion for garrison, so that the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion could discover anything wrong as quickly as possible and respond.

At the same time, the rest of the areas outside the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion are protected by troops from the independent regiment.

But at this moment, gunshots were heard at the location of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

This made Xing Zhiguo anxious.

"Deputy Captain, Deputy Captain, Captain, urgent call!"

Before Xing Zhiguo could figure out what was going on at the artillery battalion of the Pioneer Regiment, a messenger came to him on horseback with a telegram.

"An urgent call from the head of the group? What's going on?"

Xing Zhiguo looked at the communicator rushing towards him on horseback, and quickly stepped forward to grab the other's horse, then took the telegram from the communicator soldier.

"Deputy Captain, are we going to start the fight?"

Shen Quan, who was standing next to him, had just given the order when he saw this situation and quickly asked Xing Zhiguo.

Xing Zhiguo took a quick look at the telegram and saw that Li Yunlong had issued an order to launch an attack in advance, so he quickly turned around and gave instructions to Shen Quan.

"Quick, Shen Quan, have someone notify the other troops. All troops should move out immediately to attack the strongholds and artillery towers that the Japanese have set up along the Dongzhang River.

Notify our artillery battalion and tell them to blow up the Japanese stronghold on the other side of the Dongzhang River Bridge as quickly as possible.

Try to preserve the Dongzhang River Bridge as much as possible.

What's the situation at the Pioneer Regiment's artillery battalion? Have you asked clearly?!"

After receiving the attack order from Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo immediately began to arrange the attack tasks according to Li Yunlong's requirements, and at the same time inquired about the situation of the artillery battalion of the Shenquan Pioneer Regiment.

"Deputy Commander, the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion reported that our regiment's security officer, Zhu Ziming, ignored the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion's warning and trespassed into the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion's station.

The gunshots just now were warning shots fired by the soldiers of the Pioneer Regiment's artillery battalion.

Now the commander of the Pioneer Regiment’s artillery battalion, Li Erhu, has gone to deal with it.”

The young soldier who called to inquire about the situation of the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment as requested by Xing Zhiguo immediately told Xing Zhiguo what he had just learned.

Listening to what the young soldier said, Xing Zhiguo suddenly felt annoyed.

"The commander has given the order, so why didn't Zhu Ziming listen?! What was he doing at the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment?!

Notify the security department to put Zhu Ziming under guard and hand him over to the regiment commander later!"
