Chapter 1025: Stuck in the road

"Our goal is to go south, but we have been flying for so long. We haven't found many Zhao Jun. I really don't know how these Zhao Jun ran. They are everywhere." A Qin Guo pilot kept using his binoculars. Check the condition of the ground. But because of the fog, they didn't see too clearly.

"Did you find anything?" A lieutenant flying officer came over and asked at this moment.

"No, sir, I didn't find anything. There was a vast expanse of white everywhere, and we couldn't find those Zhao Guo cavalry at all." The pilot said. There are two bars on his shoulders, indicating that his military rank is a second-class soldier. Flying private. The bronze eagle badge on his left chest indicates that he is a pilot. Not the ground crew.

"I know". The lieutenant glanced outside and said.

"Sir," the second-class soldier asked.

"What's the matter?" the lieutenant asked.

"If we didn't find Zhao Jun, would we continue to fly?" the second class soldier asked.

"Yes." The lieutenant just nodded.

"Oh. Damn." The private complained.

"Listen, private. We have to complete our mission. Understand?" the lieutenant said.

"Understood. Sir," the second-class soldier said.

"That's good. Keep looking at the following situation." This time. Said the lieutenant.

"Yes, sir." The second class continued to pick up his binoculars to check the situation.

The airship is still heading south.

"What's the matter?" The lieutenant who returned to the cockpit just sat down. The captain on the side asked.

"No. Damn fog. It blocked everything. No one noticed," the lieutenant said.

"It seems that we have nothing to do today," the captain said.

"Should we fly a little bit south. Maybe, what can we find when we get there?" the lieutenant suggested at this time.

"Before, I don't know anything. If you continue...". The captain hesitated.

The lieutenant looked at the captain at this time.

"Well, we continue to the south. Maybe we can find something?" The captain said actively at this time.

"Record our current location, we need to improve our flight record." The captain said at this time.

"Okay." The lieutenant picked up the notebook on the side to record the current flight status. They will calculate their location based on their speed and flight time.

Qin sent four airships every day to search in a fan shape. But their results are not great. Because sometimes the weather is bad. Plus the distance they fly is limited. When some reached the air above the troops, it was already night, and they couldn't see whether it was their own troops or the Qi army. They can only record. But no measures can be taken to gather Zhao Jun.

However, Qin State still achieved certain results. Within a few days, they helped Zhao Jun gather about two battalions of Zhao Jun cavalry units. Because of the rapid advance of the cavalry, many infantrymen of the Qi army were beaten and scattered in order to pursue these deserters. The cavalry had to disperse the pursuit, and as a result, it led. The Zhao Jun cavalry troops became more and more scattered. The troops lacked communication tools, and in the end, they were dispersed into organizations.

The morning sun is slowly coming out. The mist is slowly dissipating. The airship in the sky slowly began to observe some conditions on the ground. They will carry out their tasks based on these circumstances.

"Damn it, my eyes hurt when I look at it," a flying sergeant complained.

"Did you find anything?" a sergeant on the side asked.

"No. Nothing," the sergeant said.

"Then continue, we need to find something." At this time, the flight sergeant said.

And in the Zhaojun bridgehead position. Zhao Jun is doing everything possible to restore their situation.

"We lost a bridgehead position?" The cavalry colonel said, looking at the map on the table.

"Sir. Our troops are limited. The cavalry that dismounted is not as good as the infantry. The Qi army's cavalry attacked fiercely." A major on the side said.

"This, I know, but it is an indisputable fact that we lost our bridgehead position." The colonel said at this time.

"Yes. Sir." The battalion commander admitted helplessly.

"So, we should think of a way now to take back the bridgehead position." At this time, the colonel said.

"Our strength is very limited. We can't even draw out a company's strength now. I only have the strength that I read for the platoon. If necessary, I think they went to die in the past." The battalion commander said pessimistically.

"There are weapons, sir. Our weapons are all weapons shot at close range, and the other side. Although they are all spears of cold weapons, they are offensive. And we...". The captain on the side said somewhat depressed.

"Wars don't necessarily depend on weapons." The colonel said with a glance at the captain at this time.

"It depends more on people," the colonel said.

"Yes, sir, but our weapons and ammunition reserves are running low." At this time, the captain said.

"Lack of manpower and insufficient ammunition. I'm afraid we can't launch a counterattack," the captain said.

"You, the one with you." At this moment, the colonel said immediately after hearing what the captain said.

"Start a night attack on me and recover the bridgehead position. If you can't take the position, you don't have to come back." The cavalry colonel said fiercely. He pointed his finger at the captain's face and shouted loudly.

"This." The captain was at a loss.

"Go away," the colonel roared loudly at this time.

And the major on the side waved continuously at this time. Signaled to leave as soon as possible. The captain left helplessly.

"Damn, timid, cowardly. Deserter." The colonel cursed loudly at this time.

The major on the side said nothing. he knows. The current situation is not suitable for launching an offense. Zhao Jun lacks many things. They were unable to launch an offense.

Qi Jun on the opposite side. They are also worried.

"When will these ice cubes be over?" asked a commander of the Qi army on the other side of the river.

"I heard from the locals that ice cubes take about fifteen days a year." An officer of the Qi army on the side replied.

"It's too long," the commander said.

"Our people need to cross the river immediately, so that we can rely on the river water to establish a line of defense in time." said the commander.

"Is there any other way. Let these ice cubes disappear quickly." The commander then asked.

"It shouldn't be." An officer behind said.

"These ice cubes move during the day. The ice cubes recombine at night. It's hard to get rid of it. We thought about burning with fire, but there was no way. The night was too cold. It was frozen again." Said the officer.

"And during the day, these ice cubes keep moving back and forth. We can't get close at all. This is too passive for us." At this time. The officer said.

"Is there no other way?" The commander looked at the ice cubes and said.

"Nothing. We really have no choice." An officer said at this time.

"If the army cannot cross the river in time, then our people will be too dangerous." The commander said at this time.

And Zhao Jun on the other side said the same.

"Sir. We still have some time. The river is now in the freezing flood period. This process usually takes about fifteen days. We need these fifteen days to rapidly increase our current military strength and other material reserves. Only this way, Only then can we have the opportunity to regain the bridgehead position, and then re-block the opponent's retreat." The major said at this time.

"En." The colonel nodded and said.

"The most important thing is that we currently need to gather the forces we can gather, as well as all kinds of weapons and equipment. We need to defend the current positions. If these positions are lost, then our situation will not be optimistic as a whole." Said.

"En. I have sent people to look for the troops that arrived nearby. Regardless of that part of the people, we need to re-assemble them. There are also some supplies. I have sent people out to get in touch with the troops behind. They The evacuation of supplies should be strengthened," the colonel said.

"The question is, where are our people?" the colonel said, looking at the map.

"The most important thing is the infantry, where are they the infantry following us?" the colonel said loudly at this time.

The major could only watch the colonel go crazy. But nothing can be done.

And when the colonel went mad. The infantry of the Zhao Jun are advancing slowly.

"Damn it, let the prisoners step aside." At this time, a Captain Zhao Jun shouted loudly.

"Hurry up and get them to the side." The captain shouted at this moment.

The Qi Jun prisoners stared at Zhao Jun blankly. They stood on the side of the road and watched Zhao Jun's actions.

"Damn it. These broken swallow country roads." The captain kicked annoyedly on the big tree aside. And his subordinates took a rare run. They sat in groups under the big tree, and they began to rest on the spot, without any commands. They did it spontaneously.

The road on the side was crowded with all kinds of vehicles, people, and materials.

Logistic vehicles cannot move forward. The personnel who followed up were also unable to move forward. They have combat troops, specialized engineers, artillery and various arms.

"Damn it, where did the military police die." The captain shouted angrily as he watched the crowded army.

There are still a large number of Qi army prisoners beside the road. This situation has made the originally limited roads more chaotic. At this time, the multi-armed arms without the guidance of the military police can easily get stuck in the road.
