Chapter 54: Ambush(1/2)
On the way to Bailuyuan Village, there are five mountain roads. From a distance, it looks like a long building-shaped hillside protruding from the plain. When you walk closer, you will find that the mountain road is very spacious and not steep.
Captain Yang and his more than 400 men followed the mountain road towards the Bailu Plain.
Everyone marched along the wide mountain road, twisting like a long dragon.
When he walked to a turn, Captain Yang in the crowd suddenly felt a little uneasy. This was his intuition that he had experienced many battles. He immediately grabbed the reins and shouted forward.
"Stop on the spot, guard company, go ahead and check!"
The soldiers of the guard company who received the order quickly trotted forward to investigate. After about ten minutes, there was no danger in the response ahead, and everything was safe!
After hearing about safety, Battalion Commander Yang put away his anxiety and ordered the soldiers to move forward again.
More than 400 people slowly passed the mountain road and went down the mountain. When they reached halfway, Captain Yang suddenly had a blue vein on his forehead, and subconsciously hid to the right.
At the same time, four gunshots rang out almost at the same time. Among the soldiers, three officers looked like bloody flowers appeared on their foreheads and fell to the ground.
Captain Yang quickly jumped off the horse, touched the blood stains on his cheeks, and screamed in his heart that he was afraid that he would be finished just a little bit!
After the gunfire sounded, the team of more than 400 people suddenly became panicked, but after all, it was a regular army. The infantry hurriedly fell down, and the cavalry began to disperse and counterattacked around.
Although they didn't know where the gunshot came from, they first shot around.
The gunshots of Pili Bar rang for half a minute. Captain Yang finally realized something was wrong and shouted quickly.
"Stop shooting, stop shooting!"
When the gunshots stopped gradually when they heard the order!
Captain Yang lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked around. At this moment, the sight outside was very wide, and there was no enemy there!
Captain Yang cursed in his heart.
"Damn it, where did the gun come from?"
After scanning left and right, he saw that there was almost no visible view within hundreds of meters around him, and there was no one in his sight. Although Captain Yang was a little panicked, he was more angry. He quickly waved and began to send soldiers to investigate around him.
More than 30 cavalrymen in the team carefully slapped their horses forward, raised their guns, and spread around them. After searching for them, everyone came back to report in disappointment.
Captain Yang was stunned. Is this a ghost? At first glance, he saw hundreds of meters at a glance, without trees. Apart from some yellow weeds on the roadside, there were almost no shadows of enemies. Where did the gunfire just now come from?
At this moment, the three officers who had already become cold were placed in front of him, and each of them was shot in the forehead and killed with one shot.
This gunshot technique is definitely a master. A chill suddenly popped up in Battalion Commander Yang's heart. He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a group of sharpshooters in Zhensong Army, who specialize in the work of shooting cold guns. Could it be that those people he met?
No, isn’t Wuzhishan a group of bandits with only one hundred people?
How could there be such a professional sharpshooter?
The sharpshooter is not scary. What is scary is that the other party’s hidden skills are more than a little more powerful than the group of sharpshooters in Zhensong Army.
Captain Yang half-squinted his eyes and glanced around. There was still an empty loess plain. He felt a vague feeling in his heart that the few people who fired the cold gun must be hidden in it, but what did the other party do?
Captain Yang looked at the sky, gritted his teeth, and decided not to hesitate anymore and had to speed up the march.
No matter how many he is, as long as he takes off the bandits' den in Wuzhishan, he will be able to force these people out sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Battalion Commander Yang immediately issued an order to speed up the marching speed and throw the body here without caring about it. More than 400 people accelerated their pace and trotted towards Bailuyuan.
The army walked seven or eight miles again, and there were several not-high hills ahead, winding like a dragon. Although it was a hillside, it was not high. The road was smooth. Looking left and right, you can see most of the views on the hillside.
More than 400 people soon arrived on the hillside. Captain Yang stopped riding a horse this time. He walked in the middle of the team and watched a curve appear in front of him again. The uneasiness in Captain Yang's heart began to appear in his mind again.
"Damn, there will be no more attacks here, right?"
Captain Yang subconsciously slowed down, asked the two guards to protect him and walked forward carefully.
Captain Yang was very nervous. When he reached the turn, his body was almost tense, and his body subconsciously bent and huddled in the team.
Until he completely passed this turn and saw another plain view ahead, Captain Yang breathed a sigh of relief this time.
But before the breath was completely exhaled, suddenly, several gunfires sounded around him.
In the team, several leading officers fell into the crowd before they could make any noise.
This time, without the need for Commander Yang to give orders, almost everyone subconsciously lay on the ground and began to fight back around.
Suddenly, someone shouted in the cavalry team.
"Four o'clock direction!"
This shout made Battalion Commander Yang turn around and look behind him, and saw a small hill at least five hundred meters away, several people wearing yellow-brown clothes running towards the bottom of the mountain. The clothes on these people were very confusing. From a distance, they seemed to be similar in color to the surrounding environment.
At this moment, Captain Yang finally understood why his people could not find this group of people before. He wore such clothes and lie on the lower-lying ground. Not to mention looking from a distance, even if he walked in front of him, it would probably be difficult to find it!
This is not the most surprising thing that surprised Captain Yang. What surprised him the most was that the ambush place of the other party was almost five hundred meters away from his team!
What does this mean? Ordinary guns, and this distance, let alone ambushing, even if they stand and hit the enemy, they will not be hit. However, the other few people just fired one shot.
Each person shot one shot, five people, and they will be shot to death!
This is a damn, they are all sharpshooters!
Such sharpshooters are self-evident in danger. You must kill these people!
Captain Yang gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and shouted at a cavalry team of more than 30 people in the crowd.
"Catch up with me! No one left!"
When the cavalry heard the orders of Battalion Commander Yang, everyone rushed out of the army and charged down the mountain along the mountain road!
Although it is a mountain road, it is very wide enough to accommodate five or six horses to charge at the same time. More than 30 people rushed down the hillside and rushed towards the five people who had already reached the foot of the mountain!
The rolling yellow sand quickly filled everyone's sight, and everyone was excited to watch the cavalry team rushing towards the five people.
Captain Yang also showed a cruel smile on his lips. Although he didn't know why there were so many sharpshooters in a small Five Finger Mountain, these cold guns were vulnerable to the real large army.
Just as he was thinking, he saw that the cavalry was less than three hundred meters away from the group of people. Many cavalry had raised their guns and prepared to aim. Some people directly drew out their long swords and prepared to kill them with a wave of heads.
In short, the fate of the five people was already destined, and even Battalion Commander Yang did not even plan to keep a living. In his opinion, the bandit nest of about 100 people in Wuzhishan did not need any prisoners to ask about it. After these people were solved, he would do his best to kill Wuzhishan directly!
As the show was about to happen, everyone on the mountain road was excited and excited. Seeing that the cavalry had rushed to the bottom of the mountain, there was a bloody massacre immediately, and everyone looked full of expectations.
Among the cavalry team, the first cavalry was a bald man. His face was flushed at this moment, and he raised the machete in his hand. Looking at the enemy getting closer and closer, his heart filled his brain with excitement, two hundred meters, one hundred and eighty meters, one hundred and sixty meters, hahaha, it was getting closer and closer!
One hundred and fifty meters!
Soon! Soon!
The bald man laughed loudly, his face full of excitement. At this moment, a deafening explosion sounded in his ears. Before the excitement on the bald man could restrain his face, he felt that his body was pushed into the sky with a strong force, and the heat wave under him quickly covered his body!
The bald man looked down at him with a last trace of consciousness and saw that he was only half of his body, and there was a bloody large intestine hanging under his head. His horse and legs had completely disappeared.
The smile on the face of Captain Yang on the mountain road froze in an instant. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the mountain in disbelief, and the series of explosions were everywhere.
The crowd on the mountain road also turned pale at this moment. The more than thirty cavalry screamed and neighed in the fire. The scene of flesh and blood flying shocked everyone!
Captain Yang's mind was completely blank. After the explosion stopped completely, he squeezed into the crowd surrounded by the guards.
Half an hour later, there was no trace of blood on the face of Captain Yang. He looked at the seven cavalrymen who were injured in front of him. Thirty-three cavalrymen who could still come back without missing arms and lameness. Only seven people were left. Eleven of the others were seriously injured, and all the remaining people were dead.
The seriously injured people have basically no possibility of rescue. They are all missing and lame, and are broken. This cavalry team is completely useless!
Battalion Commander Yang is facing a difficult choice at this moment, should he continue walking forward or return on the spot?
Captain Yang looked at the team, everyone was frustrated and fearful, and they had no morale. They could only sigh silently in their hearts. It seemed that the Five Fingers Mountain was far from as simple as it appeared!
Captain Yang had no choice but to withdraw his troops and ended this bandit suppression operation!
After Captain Yang's men left, on the hillside behind them, seven figures slowly climbed up on the sludge that was dug by man, and one person lifted up a yellowish concealment cloth, revealing two dark machine guns.
A burly man wiped the camouflage on his face and shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"It's all a group of soft eggs, and they ran away in the second level! It's really a shame for the Zhensong Army!"
The man smiled and said authentically.
"Okay, Dapeng, go back. This is just a test. With Liu Xiaozi's personality, if you know the result of today's battle, you will definitely not give up. The good show is still coming!"
The man nodded in a muffled voice, then cleaned up, and bent down with the other person to leave the place.
This burly man is Zhang Xiaopeng's eldest brother Zhang Dapeng, the brother who has a completely opposite personality to Zhang Xiaopeng. This time, Zhang Xiaopeng also sent him to Wuzhishan.
Zhang Dapeng has a bold personality. He was originally in charge of Wuzhishan as he is now, but he couldn't help but be curious and came to this ambush site in person to see it.
After he left, there were still five people here to hold on. These five people were a machine gun combat team. Every twelve hours, there were five other people rotating with them, day and night.
There are five other blocking teams along the way. The main task of these machine gun teams is not to attack immediately.
Their daily tasks are to explore and cover brothers who are ambushing along the way.
Their real task is to wait for the Zhensong Army troops to attack Wuzhishan, and when they retreat, they will ambush them, attack on both sides, and carry out the task of hitting the dogs in pain when they retreat.
And the teams that were really ambushing this way were those sharpshooters who fired cold guns, and the blasting team!
There are more than 50 miles of mountain roads from Zishui County to Bailuyuan. Along the way, there are seven or eight ambush teams. They will use the terrain to set up ambush and cause the greatest damage to the enemy at the least cost.
Since they learned that there was a cavalry of more than 30 people in the opponent's team, they carefully set up two ambush points for the opponent.
And here is just the first place.
Unexpectedly, the opponent was fooled and the cavalry directly chose to charge without any defense!
This is just an appetizer!
