Chapter 149: Ambush with Twists and Turns (Part 1)
A few minutes later, Li Lianshan returned to his original command position, and was just about to take out the telescope on his waist when there was a dense sound of horses' hooves and footsteps from the north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Lianshan instantly entered a state of imminent battle, and soon saw more than 30 cavalrymen wearing gray-blue military uniforms riding across the small stone bridge, and the dust stirred up covered the infantry trotting forward in the rear.
"The commander of the Yunnan army is really fucking face-saving, he didn't even send sharp soldiers to explore the way, Lao Tzu is finally relieved, Lao Yan, see how many infantry are following behind?"
Li Lianshan felt very lucky, and asked Yan Pin who was lying beside him in a low voice.
Yan Pin moved away from the binoculars, rubbed his astringent eyes and continued to observe: "It's hazy and can't see clearly...... The flag was faintly seen with three poles, but the approximate number of people could not be seen clearly. ”
Li Lianshan immediately took out his binoculars: "Three-pole flag? It's not going to be just three companies, is it? ”
"More than that! I saw it, four columns, more than 300 meters in formation, at least 700 people, yes! It's two battalions! ”
Yan Pin was excited, and the enemy dispatched two battalions at once, which meant that there was only one battalion of defenders left in Yongxin City, plus more than 300 rabble of the so-called security regiment, it was absolutely impossible to stop a charge from Zhao Jingting's second regiment.
Li Lianshan was overjoyed, turned a blind eye to the enemy vanguard cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and stared at the enemy infantry who began to step on the small stone bridge, until most of the enemy infantry of the two battalions ran across the small stone bridge, and then he turned his head and gave the order to the herald lying in the rear:
"Tell all companies to calm down, and don't shoot without my orders!"
The herald slid down the mountain bag with agility and quickly conveyed Li Lianshan's order, Li Lianshan turned his head again, and was just about to climb back to the observation position, when he was startled by a sudden crisp gunshot from the west: "Who is the dog saying that let go of the gun?" ”
"The position on the opposite side is probably gone off, alas! Leave them alone and give the order to attack. ”
Yan Pin saw that the enemy cavalry who was about to enter the encirclement stopped advancing, and the infantry behind were also frightened into confusion and no longer advanced, he felt very annoyed, but he had no choice but to suggest that Li Lianshan give an attack order, use the firepower advantage of five companies, shoot the enemy as much as possible, even if he could not leave all the enemy behind, he could still inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
Who knew that Li Lianshan not only did not give the order to attack, but climbed to the edge of the mountain bag and roared in a deep voice at the brothers of the third company who were waiting for the battle below:
"Pass them one by one, don't shoot! If you don't fire the first shot, no one is allowed to move! ”
……
……
Yan Pin's speculation was completely correct, a recruit on the ambush position in the west was nervous and accidentally misfired, and the sudden sound of gunfire not only made the enemy cavalry who had just entered the ambush circle chaotic, but also made the soldiers on the ambush position mistakenly think that the attack had begun.
So, after a short silence, more than 600 soldiers on the western position opened fire one after another, and the dense rain of bullets hit more than 10 cavalry of the enemy, and the rest all turned their horses and quickly escaped from the ambush circle.
The regiment commander Chen Hao was so angry that he scolded his mother, but the sudden change in the battlefield caused by the mistake was irreparable, so he could only order all of them to shoot.
A scene that shocked Chen Hao but surprised Li Lianshan appeared:
The more than 10 enemy cavalry that escaped from the encirclement were very strong and experienced, and when they ran to the small stone bridgehead outside the firing range, they immediately stopped, turned their horses to look at the blocking position in front of the right, and quickly judged the opponent's equipment and approximate strength from the intensity of the gunfire, and after a few minutes they put on a posture of mobilizing their troops to rise up to meet the battle.
What made Chen Hao even more stunned was that this group of enemy troops was not only extremely arrogant, but also well-trained, and the enemy troops of about two battalions quickly controlled the panic, and amid the shouts of the officers, they assembled in company and platoon units, braving the sound of "crackling" gunfire and the whistling sound of stray bullets, slowly approaching, and the four heavy machine guns were also carried to the dirt slope about 600 meters away from their position.
The more than 600 officers and men under Chen Hao's command seemed to have lost their unified command, some were still shooting at the enemy outside the range, trying to prevent the counterattack from continuing to approach, and some stopped and waited for the next order.
The regiment commander Chen Hao and staff officer Han Zhuangjian no longer bothered to give orders at this moment, seeing that the enemy was advancing into place step by step, four heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns quickly established a fire point, and were about to start a counterattack, and the instructor group who coordinated the ambush in the east did not react at all from beginning to end, Chen Hao couldn't help but be shocked and anxious.
Han Zhuangjian, chief of staff of the 1st Division and 1st Regiment, had never seen the shadow of Li Lianshan's department from beginning to end, so he said the bastard words of "Is the 1st Battalion of the Instructor already running away?"
Chen Hao knew that this was Yuan Wencai's second regiment and the special service company directly under the former committee in order to create conditions for the ambush war here, and they were still implementing the established strategy of "encircling but not fighting, encircling and sending reinforcements", so he could only grit his teeth and issue an order to "hold his position and fight up", hoping that after Yuan Wencai heard the sound of the battle on his side, he would immediately launch a powerful attack, quickly solve the rabble in Longyuankou, and rush to fight side by side with him. Common against the enemy.
In the northwest, less than 10 kilometers from the ambush point, more than 430 officers and men of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment led by Commissar Mao and more than 300 Red Guards were already outflanked and preparations were underway for the siege.
Twelve kilometers to the northeast of the ambush site, Zheng Yi and the 2nd Regiment of the Instructor and the 1,600 soldiers of the Baggage Battalion were also making final preparations before the siege. Zheng Yi, like Commissar Mao, heard from the echoes of the mountains that there was a difference in the battle at the ambush point, but he couldn't care so much about it, and only by acting according to the established plan and taking down Yongxincheng in one go was the best choice at present.
Li Lianshan didn't let Chen Hao and Han Zhuangjian wait too long, and he didn't disappoint the boss Zheng Yi.
Just when the two battalions of the Yunnan Army had completed the fire test and were about to launch a full-scale attack on Chen Hao's ambush position, Li Lianshan raised his Colt 1911 pistol and fired three shots in succession.
The three company officers and soldiers and 28 light and heavy machine guns that quietly moved into position roared in unison, and hundreds of enemy troops were knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye by a dense rain of bullets fired more than 200 meters from the flank.
The commander of the Yunnan army, who was the first to wake up, opened his voice and shouted "retreat", but before he could finish speaking, he was put on a war horse by a group of loyal guards, and took the lead in rushing out of the position of screaming and shaking, and broke through in the direction of the small bridge.
However, it was too late to escape.
Yan Pin, political commissar of the first regiment of the instructor, and two elite platoons led by two veteran company commanders were already lying on the edge of the ditch on both sides of the small stone bridge, holding more than 50 Czech rifles and two Czech light machine guns and aiming steadily, and launching precise strikes against the enemy officers and men who had escaped from the combat area and rushed to the small stone bridge.
"Bang Bang Bang
As the dense gunfire rang out, the commander of the Yunnan army, who was in the lead, was hit in the body and head by four bullets flying from two directions at the same time, and fell directly from his horse to the ground, and more than ten cavalry guards and officers behind him were all shot and fell to the ground.
In less than half a minute, there was no enemy on the entire battlefield on a running horse, and the dozens of Yunnan soldiers who escaped were all dead at the head of the bridge without exception under the accurate marksmanship of the officers of the police communication company, and none of them could step on the small stone bridge alive.
