Chapter Seventy: The Unlucky Old American

  The rule of war is to be square and not to underestimate any enemy, but the Americans made this mistake at this time. They put all their troops in front, and threw the artillery alone on one side, thinking that no one would come. It was this idea that allowed Yingzi to easily capture an artillery unit, and the guns and ammunition were intact.

  As the volunteers took over, the Americans were in trouble. Yang Wei led his comrades and dozens of volunteer soldiers to arrive soon after, and they quickly made use of these big guns.

  "Boom, boom, boom..." "Wah, why are our artillery firing at us?" The old American in front was really frustrated. They were enthusiastic about bombing others before, but now they were being bombed themselves, which was a tragic situation. Not only the infantry suffered from the bombing, but also those tanks were bombed simultaneously.

  The tank was fine, it was a grenade, and the tank was a Patton, which was one of the heaviest tanks in the US at that time. It wouldn't be destroyed by these grenades, but the shockwave was unbearable. Some tank crew members were directly stunned inside the tank, and some even died from the shock inside the tank.

  "Report to the team leader, the US military in front of us was bombed, it seems that their own artillery mistakenly bombed them." "What mistaken bombing? Haven't you noticed that dozens of our reserve troops are missing? It's possible that our men have taken control of their artillery positions. Get the whole regiment ready, as soon as the cannons on that side stop firing, I'll launch a full-scale attack."

  "Yes, Captain." This was also an officer, who excitedly ran out. In front of them, their own side had been suppressed by the Americans, and now it was the Americans' turn to be suppressed. Let them taste their own cannonballs too. It's just that this wasn't even them mistakenly bombing themselves, or else that would have been even more interesting.

  The company commander knew that his soldiers were missing because he saw them, otherwise he would have found out that dozens of people were missing on the battlefield, and he wouldn't be an ordinary person, but a god. When Yang Wei led his companions and dozens of soldiers to the edge, the company commander was watching from the side, and just as he thought of calling them back, they flashed away and disappeared into the woods. The next time he saw them, they had appeared on a mountain over there, and then came the artillery fire from this side. Judging from the direction, these soldiers were heading towards the artillery position, but he didn't know who would take down the artillery position. If it was these soldiers who did it, the company commander wouldn't believe it, as the time was too short, and from the start of the artillery fire, these soldiers had just arrived at that place.

  "Little devils, little devils, our position is ready to launch a counterattack." "Alright, cease fire, everyone get ready, don't make the same mistake as those American troops, let them capture these big guns again."

  At Yang Wei's order, whether it was the little partners or the soldiers, they all stopped firing and stood guard with their guns, and some soldiers even picked up the guns of the American military artillerymen to perform sentry duties at the outer perimeter of the big guns.

  But will they really come back? They won't be able to, at this time the volunteer army has launched a comprehensive attack. If it were the volunteer army that received such artillery fire, they wouldn't have been so flustered and panicked. But the American military is different, since they arrived on the battlefield, everything has gone smoothly for them, when have they ever suffered such a blow? Even before the volunteer army opened fire, they had already begun to raise their hands in surrender.

  "Captain, tank, tank, but it hasn't been blown up, don't let the uncles blow it up themselves." Li Da, acting as the artillery commander, shouted into the walkie-talkie.

  "Let's go and take a look." Yang Wei heard that the tank was not destroyed, so he brought some little buddies and some soldiers to walk over. In fact, this artillery position is only a few miles away from the front charging position, but it's just like this, the old American didn't arrange any guards, which allowed Yingzi to take two wolves and capture an entire artillery battalion.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, there were several tanks parked on the position, all of which were intact, except for one that was emitting smoke, apparently having just been blown up by the volunteer army, while soldiers were placing explosive packs on the sides of the other tanks.

  "Stop it, all of you! This is all spoils of war. Why are you still trying to blow it up?" "What's the point of not blowing it up? It'll be blown up sooner or later anyway, and we can't use it."

  "Li Da, call Xu Tuanzhang over and tell him to send his tank troops here. If you don't want them, I'll give them to Xu Tuanzhang's men instead." The last sentence was directed at the anti-tank soldiers behind him.

  "Go ahead, even if it's not Captain Xu, the regimental commander himself can't make them budge." These soldiers surprisingly didn't know that Captain Xu and his men had tank troops.

  "Shelter." "What's going on, what's going on, don't fight!" At this time, a commotion came from behind.

  "What's going on, why are they fighting?" Yang Wei turned his head to look, and it was actually those artillerymen who were being escorted over. As a result, the captives on this side started beating up those artillery captives.

  "I don't know, they just met and that's it, maybe these people are not reconciled to being shelled, will they think that the shelling is done by their own artillery?"

  When the volunteer army soldiers separated these prisoners of war, at this time those artillerymen were all beaten into pigs' heads, it can be seen how angry those infantrymen were with those artillerymen.

  "Haha, haha, Little Yang, why the urgent call? Is there something good?" The vehicle hadn't even stopped yet, but Xu Tuanzhang's voice arrived first. It turned out that when Li Dajiang called them, Xu Tuanzhang led two vehicles and had all the tank crew rush over in an emergency drive.

  "Haha, Commander Xu, what do you think of these tanks?" "That won't do, our brother units will be unhappy." "It's okay, they're going to blow them up anyway. Besides, we captured these tanks ourselves." "Good, then there won't be any conflict. Are there only a few tanks like this?"

  "Commander Xu, you're really greedy. There are still some big cannons over there, and they'll be yours too." Before Commander Xu could give the order, several tank crew members had already run to the side of the tanks. "Comrades, do you know that this is a crime?" While scolding the soldiers who were blowing up the tanks, they threw their explosive packs far away, then started banging on the tanks until the mountains echoed. The American soldiers inside, who had been stunned by the explosion, slowly came to and opened the hatch, only to be pulled out by these soldiers and taken prisoner.

  In this way, five heavy tanks fell into their hands.

  "Old Li, thank you!" As he spoke, Xu Team Leader led the convoy away. "Old Xu, Old Xu, leave a few vehicles for us!" "Leave a few vehicles for you to blow up?" Li Team Leader was speechless as he watched Xu Team Leader lead the convoy away into the distance. Indeed, he didn't have the ability to keep these vehicles and tanks safe here, and it would be waiting for the American military to come and bomb them anyway. But where did Old Xu get so many drivers from? Not only could they drive cars, but also tanks?
