Chapter 14: Seizing the Nanwan Stronghold (Part 2) Today's Second Update

  "Yes, Lian Chang..." Soon, Zhang Hua and a guard soldier dragged the enemy regiment commander who had been drunk to the point of intoxication out of the courtyard, slowly walking towards the enemy's stronghold.

  It was already past 4 am, a time when the sentry at the gate would most want to sleep. Just as the sentry tilted his head, wanting to close his eyes for a moment, a group of soldiers emerged from the dark village entrance, and their battalion commander, drunk again, was carried by two orderlies, slowly walking towards the stronghold.

  "Hurry up and stand at attention, the battalion commander is back. Be careful or you'll get scolded." A sentry standing at the door immediately reminded the remaining soldiers.

  "Alas, the camp commander is drunk again. Everyone be careful and don't provoke him." Another sentinel said.

  At once, several machine gunners who were just drowsy immediately came to their senses and waited for the arrival of the regimental commander.

  "Report to the battalion commander, Company 1 is on high alert." Seeing that the battalion commander had already walked in front of him, the sentry sergeant hastily stepped forward and reported.

  "Get out of my way, I want to go back to sleep..." The enemy camp commander, who had been completely drunk, replied subconsciously.

  "Yes, Battalion Commander..." After being scolded by the Battalion Commander, the Sentry Sergeant had no choice but to sullenly return to his own position. He watched as the Battalion Commander slowly entered the command post with the support of two duty soldiers.

  "Wait a minute... when did the battalion commander's orderly change shifts? This isn't right, I remember that the orderly hadn't changed shifts yet when the battalion commander went out last night... something must be wrong with the troops, and how come none of the guards in the back are recognizable? Where is Sergeant Wang from the guard squad?" The enemy sentinel sergeant, who had been watching the battalion commander leave, suddenly discovered this subtle abnormality.

  "You, halt! Where is your squad leader Wang?" The enemy sentinel sergeant who had discovered the anomaly shouted at a squad leader soldier who was about to walk past him. But it was too late, just as he was about to take down his rifle from his shoulder, the soldier who had just walked by turned around and reached behind him. At the same time, a sharp bayonet had already stabbed into his chest. Even his mouth was covered tightly by a large hand, not allowing him to make a sound.

  "Ugh... Ahh..." A chill ran down the enemy sentinel sergeant's chest, immediately waking him up. As he looked down at his own chest, he saw a bayonet deeply inserted into his chest. He wanted to shout out, but it was too late. Looking around, he saw that the other sentinels and machine gunners had already fallen to the ground.

  Upon seeing this, the platoon leader of the sentry finally understood that he had been attacked and his position had also been attacked. Slowly, the desperate platoon leader closed his eyes.

  "Company commander, a total of six people, have all been taken care of." Wiping the blood off his bayonet with his uniform, reconnaissance squad leader Luo Huasheng ran to Zhang Hua's side and replied in a low voice.

  "Alright, send a signal to the instructor immediately. Also, based on the confession of our captured enemies, eliminate all enemy sentries and let the instructor lead the troops to occupy all high points. As for the remaining enemies, wait until they come out for morning exercise tomorrow and solve them together." Zhang Hua ordered. He turned around and dragged the enemy camp commander towards his camp department. Along the way, any patrolling soldiers who were seen by the soldiers were ruthlessly eliminated with bayonets without hesitation.

  "My god, this enemy camp commander can really eat, he's so fat, I'm exhausted." As Zhang Hua walked into Wang DeGui's command center, he threw the Shanxi army commander to the ground and panted, saying.

  "Commander, these white-haired ones are all eating the people's taxes and fat, it's no wonder they're not thin! Look at him wearing a whole body of fat, it's even fatter than the pigs we raise at home." The deputy captain of the guard squad who followed Zhang Hua in said to Shou Rong.

  "Well, that's true. To the class leader, quickly find a rope and tie him up. Also, find a piece of rag to stuff his mouth. In case he wakes up and ruins our big plan. After we're done, let's search his command center together. I think he's the highest commander of this stronghold, so he must have accumulated a lot of wealth. Let's see if there's anything good." Zhang Hua ordered.

  "Yes, Commander, I'll go take care of it..." As he spoke, he began to untie the leg bindings on his own legs, tightly binding the enemy army commander into a dumpling. Next, he found a shoe and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, the two of them started searching for treasure in the enemy's command center.

  However, Zhang Hua did discover a lot of good things. Under Wang De's bed, Zhang Hua found a cellar, where two boxes of silver coins were neatly placed. Another exciting discovery for Zhang Hua was the enemy's camp map, a detailed map of Shanxi Province. It is worth noting that at this time, maps were a precious treasure in the Red Army. More importantly, it was a military map with detailed content.

  "Xiang Shou Rong, remember this for me. You must keep this map safe and not let the captain find out. Otherwise, when we get back to the company, you'll see how I deal with you," Zhang Hua said, pointing at the map in front of him.

  "Company Commander, don't worry, I understand... I definitely won't let the Battalion Commander see it..." Xiang Shou Rong immediately understood the Company Commander's meaning and, with a sly smile, patted his chest to guarantee it.

  "Good, you stay here and keep an eye on Wang Yingchang. I'll go take a look at how the scouting party is doing." Seeing Xiang Shou Rong quickly roll up the map, Zhang Hua nodded in satisfaction and ordered.

  "Company Commander, you can rest assured!"

  As he walked out of the enemy's camp commander's headquarters, under the illumination of the spotlights at the strongpoint, the layout inside the strongpoint became clear at a glance. The barracks, warehouses... each room appeared clearly in Zhang Hua's eyes.

  "Company Commander, the enemy's patrol teams have all been taken care of. There are 50 minutes left before the enemy sounds the bugle call." Just as Zhang Hua was appreciating the scenery of the enemy's stronghold, Scout Squad Leader Luo Huasheng arrived in front of him to report.

  "Alright, what's the specific situation?" Zhang Hua nodded and asked with concern.

  "Annihilated 14 Shanxi troops, captured 10 Shanxi troops. One scout was seriously injured and three were lightly wounded," Luo Huasheng reported.

  "Alright, very well. First, carry the wounded to the enemy's command center, and immediately occupy the enemy's warehouse with the remaining men. Otherwise, some desperate enemy might blow up the warehouse of supplies we've worked so hard to capture." Zhang Hua ordered.

  "Yes, Commander..." As for what's next, that would be waiting for the arrival of dawn. Since the scouting party had already eliminated all four of the enemy's patrol teams. So, facing the empty courtyard, the instructor-led special forces company immediately occupied all the high points around the courtyard. All the soldiers were quietly lying on the high walls surrounding the strongpoints, rooftops... quietly waiting for the arrival of dawn.

  "Dong dong dong..." Finally, a ray of light shone into the enemy's command center. At the same time, a loud wake-up call sounded in the empty and spacious courtyard of the stronghold. Zhang Hua saw through the door crack that a soldier wearing Jinwei Army uniform was standing in the middle of the empty courtyard, blowing a loud bugle.

  "Damn it, the bugle has sounded, get up...""Don't be late, or you won't have breakfast to eat..."Immediately, the quiet barracks erupted into a chorus of shouts and curses. One by one, the Shanxi soldiers, already dressed and armed, rushed out of their quarters, gathering in the middle of the large courtyard, waiting for their comrades to arrive.

  "In less than five minutes, the empty yard was packed with nearly 300 Shanxi soldiers. Under the command of their respective officers, they began to form ranks."

  "Report to the battalion commander, the troops have finished lining up, please give a speech to the brothers..." Just then, a voice came from the entrance of the command post, "A duty company commander is here."

  "Tell him to let the troops rest in place, I'll be right there." Zhang Hua held his dagger tightly against the enemy general's neck, whispering menacingly.

  "Is that Commander Li? Tell the brothers to wait for me for five minutes, I'll be right out." Under the threat of Zhang Hua's sharp bayonet, the enemy regiment commander had no choice but to say.

  "Yes, Battalion Commander. ... The battalion commander ordered a five-minute rest in place, and everyone sat down..." Immediately, the voice of the duty company commander came from the courtyard.

  "Wang DeGui, I'm telling you, I've tied three hand grenades behind your back. If you have any other ideas at that time, don't blame me for being impolite, we'll just die together. Also, you already knew last night that all the high points of your stronghold have been occupied by my men. So, it's best not to have any crooked thoughts. However, I can guarantee that as long as you order your soldiers to surrender and disarm, I will let you go, allowing you to return and continue being a wealthy lord." Zhang Hua intimidated the enemy camp commander, whose face was full of panic.

  "Red Army grandpa, I beg of you, I guarantee to do exactly as you say. As long as you can let me go home, I'll do whatever you want?" Seeing the murderous look on Zhang Hua's face, the enemy regiment commander immediately replied.

  "Alright, let's go out together now." As he spoke, Zhang Hua had already lifted up the enemy army commander who was sitting on the ground. The two of them walked closely together, and with the help of Shou Rong, they exited the command center.
