If the National Salvation Army was blocked seven or eight kilometers away to fight against the blocking troops sent by the county town, it would be impossible for the National Salvation Army to appear outside the city, and there would be no exchange of fire to the command center.

The captain of the garrison team seemed to have found evidence that the team outside the city had encountered an unexpected situation. Although he had not received the report from the city defense force, he still spoke loudly about his judgment that had been hidden in his heart: "Sir, I think the troops we arranged outside the city must have encountered an unexpected situation. We must make the worst plan, otherwise the National Salvation Army would not appear outside the city."

Hearing that the garrison captain was still sticking to his opinion, he seemed very confident. When he thought of the sudden gunfire outside the city, the garrison captain almost believed it.

"Dingling..." At this moment, the phone in the war room finally rang.

The telephone soldier guarding next to him quickly grabbed the microphone and listened to the report for a minute: "Sir, the Dongmen City Defense Force reported that the fire exchange just now came from more than 600 meters outside the city..."

"It's a cavalry unit ambushed the Imperial Army who wanted to enter the city. The opponent had about two cavalry squads, but it was very well equipped. In addition to horse and rifles, they also equipped two submachine guns and two light machine guns. With just one round of fire attack, they wiped out all the Imperial Army who wanted to enter the city, and then quickly evacuated the battlefield. We didn't even have a chance to provide support to the troops returning to the city!"

Upon hearing this bad news, the captain not only did not get angry, but also did not scold people. Instead, his tense nerves sootheed.

If the troops operating outside the city are cavalry, the problems that may arise in the entire battle situation will not be that big.

Although he arranged more than 3,000 Imperial Army and nearly 1,000 Imperial Army outside the city, in order to prevent them from being defeated by the National Salvation Army, all the troops were concentrated in two positions and relying on complete fortifications to block the National Salvation Army head-on.

Due to the limited marching speed of ordinary infantry, it is difficult for them to bypass such a large battlefield in a short period of time and fight to the edge of the county town.

If they appeared outside the city, the problem would be big. The garrison captain's judgment just now was probably true.

Now that the enemy who is active outside the city is a cavalry, the results and judgments brought about will be completely opposite.

The cavalry marching fast and can bypass the battlefield from a position away from the battlefield in a very short time. Without knowing the gods, they will kill outside the city!

Even if the main force of the National Salvation Army is still blocked seven or eight kilometers away, they can appear outside the city as harassing troops and attack everywhere, affecting their judgment by creating chaos, and thus make decisions that are beneficial to the National Salvation Army.

So for the regiment captain, the opponent's cavalry identity is actually good news.

Changsun breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Notify all city defense troops that if there are cavalry troops outside the city, shoot them with heavy machine guns immediately and repel them. The troops must not leave the county town and take the initiative to attack..."

When the telephone soldier left, the corps captain turned his attention to the garrison captain and frowned and responded to his previous judgment: "I think you are too arrogant!"

"Although the National Salvation Army is very strong, we are not bad either. As a captain, if you don't even believe in the combat effectiveness of your own troops, then you will be defeated more than half of this battle before you can beat you!"

Speaking of this, the corps leader decided to teach the garrison captain well and stared at him and analyzed earnestly.

"In addition to the Imperial Army responsible for supervising the battle, we have more than 4,000 troops outside the city. They have very complete fortifications. Even if they can't stop the attack of the National Savior Army, they will drag them down for two or three hours and kill one or two thousand of them by the way. There will definitely be no problem!

"Now that the enemy active outside the city is cavalry, that's not a big problem: our troops stationed in Shouyang are all concentrated at several points, and the cavalry units of the National Salvation Army have a chance to bypass the battlefield and harass the county town to influence our judgment!"

The captain of the garrison was unmoved, but he was still stubborn and firmly believed in his own judgment and responded: "Sir, it's not that he is humble. Our opponent is indeed very powerful. He has fought with them more than once and is very familiar with their combat methods."

"On the battlefield, they often make unexpected decisions, and if they don't take action, they will have results when they take action. No matter whether the enemy outside the city is a cavalry or infantry, I think we must make the worst plan to prevent accidents...!"

The captain of the regiment gritted his teeth after hearing this.

The captain of the garrison could not convince himself, nor could he convince the captain of the garrison. Both sides had their own opinions.

But his rank is several levels higher than that of the garrison captain, and he is also the commander of all the garrison garrisons in Shouyang. Seeing that the garrison captain is so stubborn, he was very dissatisfied with the order: "Baga, you are hopeless. Since you are so stubborn, we won't discuss this matter!"

"But one thing I must remind you that before the exact evidence proves your judgment, all the garrisons in the county must remain unmoved and must attack the national rescue army according to the original combat plan."

The captain of the garrison was very anxious when he heard this conclusion, but he was a senior official and he had already angered the captain of the regiment. He continued to say that it would not only not overflow, but would also backfire and could only gain the right to compromise.

Five minutes after the discussion ended, the sound of the fire exchange was once again transmitted from outside the east gate to the command center.

Because the duration is very short and does not affect the safety of the county town, the team leader did not pay much attention.

After a series of firefights came from the South Gate and the North Gate, the captain of the garrison could no longer sit still and walked straight to the corps captain.

Regardless of whether he would incite the corps captain again if he said that he would irritate the commander of the regiment again, he reported: "Sir, the cavalry troops of the National Salvation Army in the four directions of Shouyang City are active. With them blocking the city gate, the troops we arranged outside the city cannot enter the city. Now our telephone and radio contact with the garrison outside the city have been interrupted. If they are still there, they will definitely send people to contact us after they find that the radio and telephone are broken. Now these people cannot enter Shouyang City at all, so we cannot know the situation outside the city!"

The garrison leader also thought of this problem. As soon as the garrison leader finished speaking, he stared at him and asked, "Then what are your solutions?"

"Send troops to fight out to pick up the troops who want to enter the city, even if you only receive one soldier back, we can also get some real battle situations outside the city from them!"

The corps leader believed in his judgment on the blocking troops outside the city, and they must have blocked the National Rescue Army on the battlefield.

But the captain of the garrison team didn't believe it. No matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't convince him. In order to prove to him that his judgment was correct, the captain of the garrison team also wanted to obtain some real evidence to prove his judgment so that the captain of the garrison team would be completely convinced.

So he also wanted to know the real situation outside the city.

However, he did not agree with the proposal of the captain of the garrison and immediately rejected: "We cannot send troops out of the city..."

"The National Salvation Army that is active outside the city is a cavalry unit with very strong assault capabilities, amazing speed, and faster escape. If there are fewer troops we send out, they will be killed after leaving the city and will be killed in vain."

"If there are too many people sent out, they may be blocked outside the city and unable to come back. They will be eaten by them little by little, and finally they will lose their wife and soldiers."

After hearing this answer, the captain of the garrison was very disappointed and wanted to refute it, saying that the captain of the garrison agreed to his proposal, but could not think of a reason.

Seeing that the captain of the regiment looked firm and could only ask with reluctance, he asked helplessly: "Then we will watch the troops who want to enter the city be blocked by the National Rescue Army. We will stay in the city and continue to be blind and deaf."

The garrison captain's words were particularly depressing, and he was asking himself the meaning of questioning himself.

If it were normal, the team leader would curse after hearing this, and he would teach him a lesson as an official.

But today he didn't scold people. Although he was angry, he finally endured it.

The National Salvation Army can reach the outside of Shouyang City at any time. The defending troops must unite in order to fight back the National Salvation Army's attack, severely damage them, and create conditions for the next major counterattack.

The wing captain does not want to do stupid things that affect the unity of the troops at a critical moment when the decisive battle is approaching.

Another hour passed, and there were no less than ten exchanges of fire outside the city.

The result was exactly the same as the garrison captain's judgment. Since the cavalry of the National Rescue Army appeared at the city gate, no one outside the city entered Shouyang.

The telephone operator and the radio operator Mou had enough effort to call outside the city and send telegrams, but neither responded.

This means that the command center has indeed been blind and deaf for more than an hour just past, and has not received any news about the blocking forces outside the city.

The more the captain of the garrison was more anxious, while the attitude of the corps captain was completely opposite. The more he waited, the more he looked, the more relaxed he looked, and he was completely sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and was not in a hurry at all.

He had his own ideas and analysis: the later the National Salvation Army arrived at the county town, the more it showed that the National Salvation Army was indeed blocked seven or eight kilometers away, and had fought a lot of wars, which was exactly consistent with his judgment on the situation of the war, and it was also the ending he wanted to see the most.

If the blocking troops sent by the county town were defeated by the National Rescue Army when the contact between the two sides was interrupted and the normal march was marching, the National Rescue Army should have reached the outside of the city half an hour ago.

But except for the cavalry troops that have been operating outside the city, the city defense troops did not find a single infantry.

According to this idea, if the National Salvation Army appears outside the city now, it means that the blocking troops sent by the county town have blocked the National Salvation Army for at least half an hour.

If they appeared outside the city half an hour later, it means that the blocking troops had stopped the National Rescue Army for at least an hour.

What the captain of the regiment most looked forward to was that the National Salvation Army would go out of the city one and a half hours later, which meant that the blocking troops blocked the National Salvation Army for more than two hours, and the blocking troops successfully completed the combat mission they gave them.

God seemed to hear the voice of the team leader in his heart.

The National Salvation Army really appeared outside the city at the time he was looking forward to, and even the troops and equipment that appeared were similar to the combat plan he had planned.

An hour and a half later, the phone rang again in the war room.

The telephone soldier listened to this time for two minutes before putting down the microphone. He was excited and nervous. He said: "Sir, the National Salvation Army has appeared, just outside the east gate. There are more than 1,000 people in total, but no more than 1,500 people!"

"They also equipped a large number of artillery, with more than twenty mountain artillery and mortars in total, of which direct artillery accounts for half!"

"The National Salvation Army is setting up artillery positions outside the city and may launch an attack at any time!"

The captain of the regiment was excited when he heard this!

If the situation reported by the East Gate is true, the military will achieve its goal of using the Imperial Army to consume a large amount of national rescue troops.

After a while, killing hundreds of them in the siege, the national-savior army attacking Shouyang will be reduced to less than one thousand.

At that time, the counterattack troops suddenly appeared behind them and attacked them with the city guards. Even if they fought their lives, they could fight them all.
