A large amount of ether gas gushed out from the gas tank and rushed into the tunnel. In order to speed up the circulation, Hao Dapao even arranged a high-power fan at the entrance of the cave to blow air into the tunnel.

About two minutes later, team after team of soldiers wearing oxygen tanks and breathing masks entered one after another.

Observer Balatu walked up to Hao Dapao and asked in confusion,

"Captain Hao, didn't you just blow up the mountain before? Why are you going to all this trouble to get the soldiers in this time? What if the enemy detonates the ammunition? Won't those soldiers be gone forever?"

Hao Dapao squatted behind a bunker a few hundred meters away and replied calmly,

"If the mountain collapses, will we still have the artillery inside? We have very little money, so every bit of spoils is crucial."

Baratu couldn't understand and asked,

"Haven't we provided six more artillery regiments with heavy artillery? And the ammunition is being shipped in by the boatload. The Security Corps isn't lacking in heavy weapons at all, is it?"

"Precisely because of this, we must not disappoint the expectations of our international friends. Only by fighting well can we receive more aid. Moreover, just because we have no shortage of artillery now doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. After taking Paohengang, our frontier positions have advanced 15 kilometers. Taking Zengcheng is already part of our battle plan. As our territory expands, our demand for artillery is also increasing."

"Recently, there have been some questioning voices, saying that the victories won by the Security Corps were all exaggerated: you killed thousands of enemies, but in the end you didn't even take any prisoners. Isn't that nonsense?

Therefore, we must capture some prisoners this time!"

Balatu was speechless. Since when did soldiers have to fight for doubts!

There was a reason why no prisoners were captured in these battles. The first one was a defensive battle and the soldiers did not leave the bunker. How could they capture prisoners?

The second raid on the 37th Division headquarters used long-range artillery, so naturally there were no prisoners. Although the armored company attacked, you can't let the armored soldiers jump out of the tank to capture prisoners. That would be too dangerous.

As for the subsequent artillery battle, it involved long-range firepower, making it even more impossible to capture prisoners.

Besides, with the firepower density of your security group, it would be a blessing if you could leave the enemy with an intact body, let alone prisoners? If you could capture any prisoners, it would be a miracle!

As he was speaking, a buzzing sound came from the walkie-talkie, and then the soldier's voice rang out.

"We've caught a big fish! This is Qu Zhongqiu! The commander of the enemy's artillery regiment!"

Hao Dapao was overjoyed and shouted,

"Bring out the prisoners immediately, immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Artillery discovered! Two 155mm howitzers! They're American weapons! Damn that transport captain! How many weapons did he send to the enemy?"

"Okay, I'll send someone to support you immediately and pull out the cannon!"

In the tunnel, Wen Hai led a squad and shuttled quickly through the tunnel. Soon, he arrived at a spacious bunker where two heavy artillery pieces were placed. However, these two artillery pieces had been destroyed and the barrels were bent terribly.

Next to it was a pile of discarded shell casings and tons of high explosives!

Wen Hai picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted,

"I also found two here, also 155mm howitzers!"

A moment later, Hao Dapao's response came from the walkie-talkie.

"Tell me your location and I'll send someone to support you!"

Wen Hai immediately replied,

"I'm getting lost in the tunnel and have no idea where I am. We'll stay here until reinforcements arrive!"

"Alright, you guys stay put and guard the place! Tie up the enemy first!"

Wen Hai grabbed the phone and shouted,

"understand!"

After the call, Wen Hai counted the number of people and made sure that all 12 people in his squad were there. He took off his oxygen mask and took two breaths. The ether gas did not reach here, so he ordered everyone to throw away the oxygen tanks and then led the soldiers to move quickly through the tunnel.

The oxygen tank weighs more than 20 kilograms. It’s impossible to run fast with such a big thing!

What Hao Dapao said just now, "Tie up the enemy first", was a code word, asking him to quickly retreat to the "enemy" camp.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Hai arrived at a tunnel with a special mark. Without any hesitation, Wen Hai stopped and shouted,

"Friends from over the mountain!"

Soon, there was a response from the other side: "It turns out to be a relative from the city!"

The code is absolutely correct!

Wen Hai was overjoyed and hurried forward. At the corner, he met the comrade who came to meet him. The comrade looked at everyone and asked,

"Is everyone here?"

Wen Hai turned around and counted the number of people again and replied,

"There are 12 people in our class, all of them are here!"

"Well, welcome home, comrades! Time is running out, please follow me closely, we must evacuate quickly!"

"understand!"

Under the guidance of the comrades who were waiting for him, Wen Hai made many twists and turns and soon arrived at a straight passage.

"Everyone, run! Run as fast as you can! Until you get out of the tunnel!"

……

In front of the Fire Ridge, the soldiers' excited shouts were heard again from the walkie-talkie.

"Squad Six discovered two 155mm howitzers!"

Hao Dapao immediately said,

"Tie up the enemy first! Order your troops to stay where they are and wait for reinforcements!"

……

Wen Hai ran desperately, and he didn't stop even when his throat was about to smoke!

A few minutes later, he met another team. The two sides just exchanged glances and then rushed forward.

As time went by, more and more teams converged on this straight passage, and everyone ran tacitly!

In front of the Fire Ridge, Hao Dapao stared at the cave entrance, silently counting the captured prisoners in his mind.

The normal organization of an artillery regiment is between 1000 and 2000 people, but Qu Zhongqiu's regiment has 1500 people!

Deputy Company Chief Helian Cheng ran over and said breathlessly,

"Captain, I just counted 275 prisoners and discovered 12 artillery pieces! The two closest to us have already started towing and moving!"

Hao Dapao was very surprised and asked,

"Why is there so little? This is an artillery regiment!"

"The enemy is afraid that their artillery positions will be wiped out all at once, so they're spread out. I just took a rough look and found that each artillery position is at least 500 meters apart, and each position only has two guns!"

"I see!"

Suddenly, Hao Dapao saw a soldier holding a map coming out of the tunnel entrance. He was overjoyed because it meant that the big fish of capture had been found.

"Bring Qu Zhongqiu out to me! Now!"

After seeing Qu Zhongqiu's resolute face, Hao Dapao took out the photo for comparison and shouted after confirming that it was correct.

"Inform the battalion commander immediately! Also, send all the prisoners to regimental headquarters immediately! The commander might even hold a celebration tonight!"

"Yes!"

Observer Balatu picked up the camera and took a few photos of the unconscious Qu Zhongqiu!

After receiving the report, Battalion Commander Qiu Fu immediately reported the news to Xie Zhiyu at the Jitoushan Command Headquarters. Deafening cheers broke out in the entire command headquarters!

Capturing the enemy artillery regiment commander Qu Zhongqiu alive and seizing the artillery of an artillery battalion was an unprecedented victory!

With this record, there will be no problem in getting two more armored regiments.

Xie Zhiyu sat on a camp chair, his hands crossed, his thumbs crisscrossing in circles. The army had acquired a lot of equipment, and next, they should acquire some planes and warships! Especially planes, they determined air supremacy!

Xie Zhiyu suddenly stood up and walked to the map, ready to find a reason to ask for equipment.
