Chapter 461: City Welcome
While he was thinking, he heard a series of violent explosions from behind.
Hu Zi and others were so frightened that they stopped and looked back suddenly.
"Don't look! Our people blew up the road! This is another road leading to Pingpan City. If this road is blown up, the Japanese tanks behind us won't be able to get through. Without the Japanese tanks, the defense pressure on Pingpan City will be much greater!"
The fat man's explanation made Hu Zi give Yuan Shuai a thumbs up and praise him.
The fat man continued to explain with a smile.
"In fact, we also bombed another road, so we had the opportunity to get so many tanks and artillery!"
Hu Zi's eyes widened even more.
Damn, it seems that the Black Wolf Army’s General Yuan’s fighting skills are really worthy of his reputation!
Along the way, the brothers talked and laughed, and were very happy.
Because the road was bombed, even if the Japanese wanted to chase them, their tanks couldn't get through. It would take a lot of time for the 75mm field guns and 105mm guns to get through.
Therefore, the Japs will not catch up with them for a while.
Therefore, they can talk and chat on the road with confidence.
By the time daybreak, Yuan Shuai's troops had arrived at the hillside outside the south gate of Pingpan City.
This was previously the defensive position outside the city held by Tan Guohao, a soldier of the National Army.
However, Tan Guohao felt that he had few men, poor weapons and equipment, and not enough troops. If he put all his troops in the outer positions, he would not be able to effectively intercept the Japanese.
Therefore, he had concentrated all the people in the county town, and used the streets, houses, tunnels and various bunkers to deal with the Japanese.
Therefore, his talents have been retained until now.
But this time it's different.
The army and the people in the city knew that they had returned victorious, so the welcoming team came directly here. On both sides of the road, people were waiting for them with lanterns, horse lanterns, and torches.
"Here they come, here they come, I see their car lights, holy shit, they really are coming in a lot of cars, they really are..."
The county magistrate was standing on the hillside, looking at Yuan Shuai's motorcade approaching from a distance, tears already streaming down his face.
He wiped his tears and ran down the mountain quickly.
Seeing the tank in the front, the county magistrate shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.
"Welcome home our heroes!"
"Welcome home our heroes!"
All the soldiers and civilians shouted loudly.
Among the team, there were old men, women, students and children.
Many people were carrying guns, and some were even standing on the roadside holding babies.
Tears were streaming down everyone's face.
Because they all know that these are the people who protect their homes.
They protected their home with their blood and lives.
In their hearts, all the members of this army are heroes in their hearts, heroes of their entire county, heroes of Hunan, and heroes of China.
When Hu Zi listened to these voices, his blood boiled and he was deeply touched.
When the county magistrate saw Tan Guohao coming, he hurried over to greet him, saluted him, then shook Tan Guohao's hand tightly, trembling and choking with tears.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brigade Commander Tan. Thank you to all the brothers for your hard work!"
"It's not hard. We are soldiers, and we are also Xiangxi men. Defending Hunan and the country is what we soldiers should do!"
Brigade Commander Tan still smiled and nodded modestly.
He didn't expect that so many people would come to greet him.
The efforts of him and all his brothers are worth it.
"Who is this……"
"Ahem! We are from the 74th Brigade of the 174th Army!"
Tan Guohao wanted to introduce Yuan Shuai, but Yuan Shuai coughed a few times and did not reveal his identity.
Because this is also a protection for their county.
"Yes, they are all brothers from the 74th Brigade of the 174th Army. The 74th Army is an iron army against the Japanese! If it weren't for their help this time, we wouldn't have been able to kill so many devils!"
"Iron Army, fellow villagers, welcome the Iron Army brothers!"
"Welcome Iron Army brothers!"
Everyone shouted again in unison.
Tan Guohao leaned close to Yuan Shuai's ear and spoke in a low voice.
"Will your brothers have any ideas if you do this?"
"What do you think? My thoughts are their thoughts. My brothers are very careful about their lives!"
"Hahahaha!"
Tan Guohao laughed immediately.
At this moment, he seemed to understand that when the Black Wolf Army fought the Japanese, they never cared about any false reputation, but only cared about whether they could kill the Japanese and whether they could kill more Japanese.
In addition, the Black Wolf Army still cares about the common people.
They did not reveal their identities because they did not want the Japanese to regard their county as a thorn in their side and send a large number of troops to encircle and suppress it.
This is actually also to protect the people in their county.
Looking at the team marching along the road, all the soldiers and civilians in the county were extremely happy.
"There are so many tanks. They really stole the Japanese tanks!"
"Twelve tanks, that's amazing, they stole twelve tanks!"
"There are also twelve 75mm field guns and twelve 105mm howitzers!"
"Oh my god, they really stole so many artillery pieces from the Japs!"
Looking at the tanks and artillery in the convoy, many soldiers jumped up excitedly.
Here on the city wall, guerrillas including Xiao Liangcai and Dou Jiande had also run over.
However, they were resting before and did not get the news in time.
By the time they got the news, the streets outside the city gate were filled with people on both sides.
The city walls were also filled with people.
They had to squeeze in a few spots to see what was happening outside the city.
Under the light of the fire on both sides of the road, Xiao Liangcai, Dou Jiande and others saw the situation clearly and opened their eyes and mouths wide.
"Damn it, how come they stole so many tanks and artillery pieces!"
"Twelve 75mm field guns and twelve 12mm howitzers!"
"This, this, this is incredible!"
When the National Army received the news, they did not inform them in time, so they had no idea that Yuan Shuai and others had defeated the Tiangu Detachment.
So, when they saw these trophies, neither of them could believe their eyes.
After all, that was the Tiangu Detachment.
"Did they wipe out the Tiangu Detachment?"
The National Army brothers around him laughed happily.
"You just found out, we knew it a long time ago!"
"Damn it, why didn't you notify us in time!"
"You are not our troops, we have no obligation to inform you!"
"I……"
Dou Jiande was so angry that his face turned red and his teeth were grinding.
Yuan Shuai and his men had already obtained twelve 75mm field guns, which already seemed like a miracle to them.
But unexpectedly, just a few days later, they brought back twelve field guns, and even 12 105 field guns.
There are now twenty-four 75mm field guns in the county town.
Seeing so many artillery pieces, his eyes sparkled and he quickly pulled Xiao Liangcai to a deserted place.
"Captain, there are so many artillery pieces. We have to think of a way! We have to get at least a few! These are not just 75mm field guns, but also 105mm guns!"
