Chapter 212 The Eight-Faced Buddha’s Countermeasures!

Could it be that Captain Wang didn't know why the Yuenanbei Regiment stationed here did this?

Isn't it that the Northern 1st Regiment is betting that they dare not directly attack residential areas with artillery fire?

Guessing this, Captain Wang showed a cold smile on his face.

"Notify the mortar company to aim at the armories and military camps in the city and start firing as soon as the time is up until all the shells are used up!"

When Zasa, who was standing by, heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face!

Damn, aren’t the troops in the north said to be very law-abiding?

Although the order was to bombard the arsenal and military camp, given the accuracy of the mortar... at least three out of ten shells would hit other places!

How is this different from an indiscriminate attack?

"Um...Captain Wang, if you do this, will it be difficult for Mr. Gao and Captain Li to report to their superiors?"

"After all, this is nominally the territory of the Emperor. If this place is subjected to indiscriminate bombardment, and the Eight-Faced Buddha asks the officials here to publicly condemn Mr. Gao..."

"Mr. Gao can't explain this to the outside world!"

When Captain Wang heard this, he looked at Zasa, who was half a head shorter than him, and smiled, patted his shoulder and said,

"General Zasa, look at what I'm wearing!"

Captain Wang's words made Zasa fall into confusion.

What clothes? Aren't they just normal northern infantry clothes?

After watching for ten seconds, Zasa didn't find anything different and smiled.

"Captain Wang, isn't this just an ordinary military uniform you're wearing?"

"What's the difference!"

Seeing that Zasa, who had been in the Golden Triangle for such a long time, was so simple, Captain Wang laughed and said,

"General Zasa, how can you prove that the uniform I'm wearing is the standard uniform of the North, and not the uniform of the local warlord in the Golden Triangle like the one you're wearing!"

Damn, aren't you obviously being a rogue here?

In the Golden Triangle, who doesn't know that you were brought here by Gao Ren to grab territory...

As soon as these words appeared in his mind, Zasa came back to his senses instantly!

Damn, this is really a vicious circle!

They were brought here by Gao Ren, and Gao Ren was not from the north on the surface. On the surface, Gao Ren was just a short mule from Hong Kong Island...

The short mule fought for territory and killed several people... Although it is against the law, what can you do to him...!

Seeing that Zasa had figured it out, Captain Wang then looked at the watch on his wrist!

As the time for the scheduled attack gets closer,

The atmosphere on everyone's face became more and more solemn, and the only people busy now were the mortar company.

The 80mm mortar may not be considered heavy artillery in other places, but it can still be considered heavy firepower in the Golden Triangle.

After all, with this high-explosive shell, any carbon-based creature within a diameter of 20 meters can also report to the King of Hell!

As boxes of ammunition were carried to the mortar position, all the gunners of the mortar company also aimed at Tang County one kilometer away!

Three, two, one!

As the time came to two o'clock in the morning, the commander of the mortar company immediately shouted loudly,

"fire!"

Bang bang bang…

The unique sound of a mortar firing instantly resounded throughout the entire position... and when all the gunners at the mortar position were preparing to fire the third shell,

Tang County has suffered the first round of artillery bombardment!

Boom boom boom…!

The violent explosion and strong shock wave instantly swept through the entire military camp and arsenal.

For a moment, the screams in the military camp and the panic in the city resounded throughout the night sky!

Inside the underground bunker in the city, the commander of the North 1st Regiment felt the sudden fierce artillery fire, and his face instantly turned gloomy!

It was he who ordered the troops outside the city to withdraw into the city, and it was also he who ordered the troops outside the city to set up camp in residential areas!

The purpose is to prevent those who attack from outside from launching large-scale bombardments due to pressure from public opinion.

After all, the Northern Army of this era loved to destroy all positions with fierce artillery fire!

"Captain, the attacking troops outside have no concerns at all!"

"Damn, the first round of artillery fire was high-explosive bombs, and now they are firing directly incendiary bombs!"

"These wooden buildings in the city will catch fire at any time...!"

Hearing this, the leader of the North 1st Regiment was also shocked by the opponent's offensive means. Such an indiscriminate attack,

How is the other side going to explain this to public opinion outside?

"Send a message to the country and tell them what's happening here!"

"Also, send a telegram to the Eight-Faced Buddha to ask him to bring reinforcements. Tell him that if the North First Regiment is gone, he will be the next to go!"

"Yes!"

The signalman began to send messages, and he walked out of the underground bunker to organize soldiers for defense!

If he can't even hold out until dawn, how can he even wait for reinforcements!

As the battle in Tang County entered a fierce stage,

The war that broke out here also spread throughout the Golden Triangle area.

Daqili, the largest city in the Golden Triangle, is the lair of the Eight-Faced Buddha. It is thanks to the fertile land here that the Eight-Faced Buddha can support more than 20,000 troops and well-equipped mercenaries!

"Miss, this is the news from the Northern First Regiment stationed in Tang County!"

"They said that the army brought by Gao Ren has launched an attack on Tang County. We request the general to send reinforcements!"

After reading the telegram in her hand, Mena knew the situation was urgent, so she immediately took the telegram and walked towards the bedroom of the Eight-Faced Buddha!

After passing through layers of guards, when she arrived at the bedroom, she saw the Eight-Faced Buddha sitting behind the desk.

"Father, have you received the news?"

When the Eight-Faced Buddha saw Mena rushing over, he nodded and said,

"As soon as Tang County was bombarded, the county chief called me!"

Seeing that the Eight-Faced Buddha had received the message, Mena's expression improved a little and she asked,

"Father, who should we send to reinforce them?"

The Eight-Faced Buddha was silent for a moment and then said,

"Tell your eldest brother to go with a brigade!"

"Yes!"

When Mena was about to turn around and leave, the Eight-Faced Buddha stopped her and asked,

"What news has been sent back from Black Mamba?"

Hearing this question, Mena showed a helpless expression on her fair face and said,

"Black Mamba sent back news that the Emperor has gone crazy and imposed martial law in the entire city, especially around Hu Jing's manor!"

Mena's words were very tactful, but Eight-Faced Buddha was not a child, how could he not understand what this meant!

"Tell Black Mamba I don't care what troubles he has!"

"I must hear the news of Gao Ren's attack before nine o'clock this morning!"

"Yes!"

Mena turned and left, and the Eight-Faced Buddha began to think while rubbing his temples!

Of course he knew why the emperor did this.

Gao Ren was a person secretly supported by the North. If he was attacked and died in the Emperor's territory, wouldn't it mean that the Emperor didn't give face to the North?

The people in the North nowadays will do whatever they want when they are unhappy!

As for whether they dare to take action...

You can ask your cousins ​​from Yonan about this, they now have a deep understanding of this!

Stopping thinking, the Eight-Faced Buddha picked up the phone and called County Magistrate Tang!

"You immediately organize a press conference to publicly condemn the northern troops' invasion of Tang County and accuse them of indiscriminate shelling that caused the deaths of a large number of civilians!"

"Remember, find more reporters to take photos of the tragic deaths of civilians!"

Chapter 213 Oh! Don’t you know I’ve been crowned king?

"Understood, General!"

Because Captain Wang's mission was to destroy the arsenal, not to capture Tang County, so when daybreak came, there was no direct fighting between the two sides!

Inside the city, the leader of the North 1st Regiment watched the county chief and a large group of reporters taking pictures of the damaged houses and the dead.

Just as he was about to ask him what he was doing, the county magistrate came up to him and said,

"Captain Ruan, ask your soldiers to cooperate with me to take a few photos, and also ask your wounded soldiers to act out a scene,"

"Tell the camera that it is the army from the north that is shelling residential areas!"

After the county magistrate's advice, Captain Ruan instantly understood what the county magistrate was going to do!

After secretly admiring the fact that none of the county magistrates were easy to deal with, Captain Ruan immediately said to the guards behind him,

"Do as the county magistrate tells you!"

"Remember, tell the brothers to act more realistically!"

"Yes!"

The county magistrate watched the guards leave with a satisfied expression on his face, then he pulled Captain Ruan aside and said,

"The general's eldest son has brought a brigade of soldiers to reinforce us. As long as you accompany me to perform the trick in a while,

"I guarantee that no one outside will dare to attack Tang County again!"

The country has sent him a message. As long as he can ensure that Tang County, the transfer point for weapons and equipment, is not lost, he will have done a great job.

So now he wants more than anyone else to see the northern troops that attacked here retreat.

"Mr. County Governor, I will cooperate with whatever you say!"

The county magistrate smiled knowingly, and then shouted to the people behind him,

"Power on!"

As the camera turned on, the county magistrate began to perform with the burning wooden house as the background, looking at the camera with endless anger.

"As the county magistrate appointed by the Emperor, I feel ashamed of the hundreds of thousands of residents in Tang County!"

"It was my incompetence as the county magistrate that caused them to suffer such a brutal attack!"

"I am ashamed of......!"

Before the county magistrate finished speaking, a burst of urgent shouting came from behind him.

"County Governor, County Governor, the casualty statistics are out!"

"Say!"

The informant saw the genuine grief on the county magistrate's face and admired him in his heart. No wonder he was the county magistrate and he became his younger brother.

He also showed a painful expression and said,

"County Governor, a total of 342 people died and more than 2,000 were injured in last night's shelling!"
