[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

In the middle of the year, a group of refugees came to Tianshui City. Zhang Xiu got a message from them that the Egg Yolk Country had occupied the neighboring province and was now heading towards Province F where Tianshui City was located.

Commander Tan reported to his superiors, hoping for a countermeasure, but the only response he received was to wait and see.

"Damn it, the Egg Yolk Country is about to attack, why should we just sit back and wait and see what happens?"

Commander Tan was furious at home and almost smashed everything in the study.

Tan's wife, Yao Huifang, felt sorry for her husband. After a moment's thought, she said, "Why don't you go talk to Miss Zhang? She might have some good ideas!"

Commander Tan sighed and sent someone to invite Zhang Xiu.

Since the start of Penicillin production, Zhang Xiu had lived and ate at the pharmaceutical factory, fearing any mistakes. Upon receiving Commander Tan's invitation, she changed her clothes and left without delay.

When they arrived at the Tan family, Chief Tan told Zhang Xiu what had happened, and Zhang Xiu knew that the Jiang government could no longer be relied upon.

"Fortunately, I was careful and did not report our new weapons, otherwise I would not even have anyone to resist!" Commander Tan patted his thigh and sighed.

Zhang Xiu smiled and complimented, "Commander Tan is wise."

Commander Tan shook his head and said, "Don't make fun of me. If you hadn't proposed national military training, I'd still be scratching my head!"

The year before, Zhang Xiu had talked to Commander Tan about developing new weapons and training troops. Commander Tan was a man who listened to advice. After listening to Zhang Xiu's opinion, he said that with the current strength of Tianshui City, it might not be able to fight against the main army of the Egg Yolk Country, but it could still fight against those side troops.

The two discussed for a whole night and tentatively decided on several plans. Commander Tan would then discuss them again with the leadership team of Tianshui City, and Zhang Xiu would also return to Qinglongzhai to make preparations.

Tianshui City's strategic position is not prominent, and it is not on the main invasion route of the main force, but if the Egg Yolk Country wants to occupy Province F, Tianshui City is one of the cities that must be captured.

Zhang Xiu received news that the Danhuang Kingdom's army had entered Province F and was currently locked in a stalemate with the Xia Kingdom's armies in Wuqing City, a strategic location in Province F. To provide timely support to the main force, a large battalion of Danhuang Kingdom troops would pass through Tianshui City.

Zhang Xiu guessed that this brigade should be the army that captured Tianshui City in the original plot.

This battalion consisted of four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, and one artillery unit, totaling approximately one thousand men. The Yolk Nation's army was well-equipped and had ample firepower, making them difficult to defeat.

Zhang Xiu had no intention of engaging them head-on. Tianshui City was surrounded by mountains and had steep terrain, making it ideal for ambushes.

At present, several important hilltops nearby have basically been taken down by Zhang Xiu and become branches of Qinglong Village. It is easy for Zhang Xiu to make deployments in advance.

After giving Commander Tan the drawings of the new rifle, Zhang Xiu also gave him drawings of several other weapons, including new cannons and new grenades. Commander Tan gritted his teeth and ordered the arsenal to work overtime for mass production. Now their weapons are barely enough.

Many wealthy families in the city who were well-informed proposed to leave. Commander Tan and Zhang Xiu did not force them to live and die with Tianshui City. They collected a small "separation fee" as a token of their gratitude and let them go.

Soon, half of the wealthy businessmen in Tianshui City left. Among the remaining half, some were reluctant to give up their ancestral business, some were hoping for a lucky break, and some had confidence in Zhang Xiu and Commander Tan.

The old man of the Xie family sat in his rocking chair, sipping his tea and saying to his eldest son, "To be able to create a miracle drug like penicillin, that Miss Zhang is definitely not an ordinary person. I think she will bring us more surprises!"

In such a tense atmosphere of preparation for war, the army of the Egg Yolk Country arrived.

"Sir, Tianshui City is just ahead."

While resting on the spot, Wang Mazi knelt on the ground and wiped the dust-stained military boots of Xiutian, the commander of the regiment, and introduced the situation of Tianshui City to Xiutian in a flattering tone.

"Yeah." Xiutian didn't look at Wang Mazi, but just lowered his head and fiddled with his pistol.

Wang Mazi's original name was Wang Liangcai. Because he was sick when he was a child and had pockmarks all over his face, he was given the nickname Wang Mazi by others.

Wang Mazi, a distant relative of the Jiang family, had previously served as a liaison between the Jiang family and the Danhuang Kingdom. Later, when the Jiang and Liu families fell, Wang Mazi went around doing dirty work for the Danhuang Kingdom. This time, when the Xiutian Squadron was coming to Tianshui City, Wang Mazi volunteered to lead the team, hoping to cling to the Danhuang Kingdom's influence.

The troops rested for fifteen minutes and then continued to march towards Tianshui City.

There are many roads leading to Tianshui City, but the shortest one requires passing through a canyon. Xiutian's team is here to support the troops in Wuqing City. Speed ​​is of the essence in war, so Xiutian considered for a long time and finally chose to go towards the canyon, but he asked everyone to cheer up and speed up.

Zhang Xiu and her men had set up an ambush nearby, planting mines and a row of anti-tank cones at the canyon's exit. She also had trenches dug and obstacles piled up to provide cover for her troops.

When the last few members of Xiutian's army entered the Grand Canyon, Zhang Xiu immediately waved his hand and asked people to push large rocks down, pour gasoline down, and then light torches and throw them down, which would definitely cut off the enemy's retreat.

"what!"

Screams were heard and Xiutian hurriedly turned around to check. Before he could react to what was happening, the soldiers and deminers who were walking in the front and handling the anti-tank cones were directly blown away by the mines.

Gunshots rang out, and Xiutian quickly hid behind the tank and fired outside: "Damn it!"

In order to prevent the tanks from suppressing the enemy, Zhang Xiu lived in the arsenal for half a month, working day and night with the arsenal's master craftsmen to make rocket launchers. When the battle started, before Xiu Tian could react and use the tanks, Zhang Xiu picked up the rocket launcher and directly destroyed the tanks.

The melee began, and Zhang Xiu spared no effort in firing, firing all kinds of explosives and bullets.

Zhang Xiu asked Commander Tan for many new weapons, and used firepower to push forward, leading the charge. With Lai Fu by his side, Zhang Xiu was always able to cleverly dodge the enemy's attacks and harvest a large number of heads.

The battle lasted for several hours. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Xiutian finally chose to surrender.

Zhang Xiu looked at the enemies' heads covered in red marks, and recalled the tragic massacre in the original plot. She shot Xiu Tian in the head and ordered Cao Gui: "Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Cao Gui hesitated: "They surrendered, why kill them?"

Zhang Xiu glanced at him and said, "What else? Keeping it and wasting the food?"

Cao Gui scratched his head and wanted to speak, but Mao Sanmei stopped him, shook her head and said, "Just listen to the boss!"

Soon, the canyon was filled with corpses. Zhang Xiu asked Cao Gui and Niu Da to stay and clean up the battlefield, and sent Wang Zao to inform Commander Tan of the result. He then took Mao Sanmei, Niu Er and others back to Qinglong Village.

"What?! Total annihilation?"

Commander Tan was standing on the Tianshui city wall with a telescope to observe the situation. When he heard Wang Zao's words, his voice broke.
