Following the order from Jiang Yan Hai, a piercing alarm sounded immediately throughout the base. The commander of the artillery regiment, Yi Wei, who had already come over, shouted loudly, "Quickly move! Let the armored regiment people come and pull things!"

"Captain, we haven't played with this thing in years, is this still possible?" Political Commissar Wang Long said with a wry smile.

"What's okay? It must be done! Move quickly! Where are the armored regiments? Where are Zhang Ronghua!" Yi Wei shouted.

Wang Long was a little dumbfounded, but he had no choice, because what their armored regiment was playing now was not a 155mm self-propelled howitzer, nor a 122mm self-propelled howitzer, nor a 300mm large-caliber long-range rocket launcher.

Because of the current size problem of Teleportation Gate, they only have a bunch of old guys on hand!

There are only 12 old-fashioned Type 60 122mm towed cannons and Type 63 12-barreled 107mm Rocket Launcher. They were pulled from the sealed inventory, and the ammunition is enough!

For a modern artillery regiment like theirs, there are really not many old-fashioned artillery guns. For example, the Type 60 122mm cannon requires 8 people to operate one gun, and the shells are loaded manually.

They have taken the time to practice in the past few days, but their own cannons can't get through now.

Type 63 12-tube 107mm Rocket Launcher, this thing is simple and powerful. The maximum shooting distance is 8.5 kilometers. Although the accuracy is not high, what accuracy is needed?

No need, at least there is Reconnaissance Drone in the sky to help assist with reconnaissance and positioning.

"Okay, okay, Lao Yi, stop complaining! You're so stupid and you still have cannons to use. Look at my armored regiment. Where are the tanks? I just have a few trucks now." Zhang Ronghua drove a light truck over and said a little depressed after jumping out of the car.

"Hahaha, let you armored regiments be infantry for a while! Didn't the brigade commander say that? You are aggrieved for the time being!"

Yi Wei smiled proudly. Compared to the armored regiment which only had light trucks and Lynx assault vehicle, their artillery regiment still had cannons.

Although they said they hadn't played it for a long time, all the artillery regiment soldiers mounted all the towed artillery as quickly as possible, and the convoy set off directly. The soldiers of the armored regiment did temporarily act as infantry. Everyone rode in the bed of the truck with firearms and ammunition.

Special Operations Regiment didn't have many people dispatched. Only two special operations teams were dispatched, and it didn't require too many people. A total of 12 Lynx assault vehicle vehicles were dispatched, and each vehicle was loaded with Type 12 Gatling gun.

In less than 10 minutes, everyone set off directly.

At this moment, located about 28 kilometers southeast of the base, on the city wall of this small town, several men in their forties stood here with pale faces.

"The town... What should the mayor do? We only have so many guns in hand! There are 50 guns and 300 bows and arrows in total, but... there are at least thousands of these Red Mad Wolf... This is a large-scale wolf disaster, and we need people to ask for help." A middle-aged man in his forties said with a trembling tone.

The middle-aged man next to him, whose face was covered with wrinkles and looked to be in his sixties, but was actually only in his forties, was holding the city wall tightly with both hands.

"Ask for help? Where can we go to ask for help? If the Commander Lu closest to us knows about such a thing, he will not send troops. He will strictly guard against the appearance of a larger Red Mad Wolf group within his jurisdiction!"

"We can only rely on ourselves! Because people like us are worthless." There was a trace of self-mockery on the middle-aged man's face.

"Send the order and tell all the men, women, and children in the town who are able to move. Except for young children and the elderly, all children over the age of 13 who can move should go up to the city wall. They need to help us transport arrows or carry some stones up!"

"Also tell the people below to block the city gate!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man next to the mayor nodded immediately, pulled a young man over and gave the order.

The young man quickly rushed down the city wall, then rode on a group of old horses, picked up the gong hanging on the side of the old horse, and struck the gong directly.

"Attention everyone, Red Mad Wolf disaster! Red Mad Wolf disaster! All those over the age of 13 who are able to move, go up to the city wall and bring whatever weapons you can!"

As he shouted over and over again, the people in the city who heard the sound, whether they were men or women, although they looked frightened, ran towards the nearest city wall one by one.

Because they all know that they can't run away. They can't run away from the Red Mad Wolf pack in the wild, and if the city is broken, all of them will be eaten by these wolves.

Children from 13 years old to 13 years old rushed up to the city wall one by one. On the edge of the dry woods in the distance, there were already wolves grinning and restless, but they did not rush up.

It seems that they are waiting for more wolves to gather.

This is just a small town, and the city wall is only more than three meters and less than 4 meters high. With such a city wall, as long as Red Mad Wolf is rushed under the city wall, it won't take long for the accumulated height of the corpses to exceed two meters, and other Red Mad Wolf can jump directly up!

"Attention all militiamen! Don't waste the bullets in your hands. Make sure every bullet hits a wolf! The same goes for archers! People with spears, when they see wolves trying to jump up, just poke them down! Don't put them on the city wall!" the middle-aged mayor shouted loudly.

"Fellows! Today is a life-or-death moment for our town! I know you are all scared, and I am scared too! But we have nowhere to escape! We have no choice but to fight to the death!"

"Behind us is our home! Below are your young children and your elderly parents! Beside you are your children, wives and children! Not for others, but for yourself and your relatives."

The mayor roared loudly, but his voice could only be heard by the people around him, but the city wall they were standing on was the main city wall.

"Report! Brigadier, most of the residents of this town have now climbed onto the city wall. Red Mad Wolf's wolf pack has exceeded 3,000, and their number is still increasing." The voice of the command headquarters came to Jiang Yan Hai's ears.

I don't know who called the title "Brigadier Commander", but it seems to have come from Fan Tian Lei and the others. Anyway, someone called it, and others followed suit. There was no objection from above, so it was probably considered acquiescence.

After all, if Jiang Yan Hai is now the commander-in-chief here, he will always need a formal position.

"Understood, let the drone search to see if there is a wolf king, alpha wolf or the like." Jiang Yan Hai said.

"Yes!"
