Chapter 296: Breaking the Ambush
Su Qiubai was not as reckless as others saw in their eyes, as soon as he entered the ambush circle, he immediately used his divine sense to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and tried his best to hide from the grass, and soon found an ambush point, it seems that these pirates used heavy firepower to ambush, the purpose is to cause them to cause as many casualties as possible.
Su Qiubai didn't directly deal with them, because this was not the time for him to be a hero, those pirates who were ambushed were all carrying heavy firepower, his cultivation was certainly high, but there was no guarantee that he could kill all these people in one fell swoop, once he was counterattacked, he might not be able to retreat under the suppression of heavy firepower.
After carefully hiding and shuttling through various bunkers, Su Qiubai quickly figured out the location of all the ambushes, and after carefully remembering them in his mind, he returned to the landing site.
Since Su Qiubai left, Li Lianhai has been pacing back and forth nervously, at this time, seeing him come back safely, he can't wait to step forward and kick him twice, this kid is really scary, although he can come back safely every time, but Li Lianhai's heart has always been in his throat during the time he left.
"Battalion commander, the location of the ambush has been figured out, it is all heavy firepower, but it is beyond the range of the battleship's firepower." Su Qiubai reported to Li Lianhai.
Li Lianhai didn't care about reprimanding him when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Can you guarantee that the ambush location you have detected is accurate?" If you can, I will take you to the brigade commander, and you will personally direct the artillery company to locate it. ”
Su Qiubai nodded and said, "Guarantee accuracy, and the quantity will not be wrong." ”
Li Lianhai looked at him suspiciously, although he still didn't believe that he could do this alone, but considering what he did that night, this person's strength was probably far beyond that of a normal person.
"Okay, then you can come with me." Li Lianhai hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to gamble, so that it was not only Su Qiubai's fate that was bet, but also his own future.
"Wait a minute, battalion commander!" Zheng Haoran said suddenly.
Li Lianhai stopped when he heard the words and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zheng Haoran glanced at Su Qiubai with ill intentions and said, "He is alone, and he has found out the location of the enemy's ambush in such a short time, if he hadn't colluded with the pirates a long time ago, there would have been another conspiracy." Battalion commander, you can't trust him! ”
Before Li Lianhai could speak, Su Qiubai said first: "Collusion? If you were a pirate, would you collude with your enemy to disrupt your ambush? ”
Zheng Haoran sneered and said, "Maybe the direction you are pointing to is all wrong?" So that we can mistakenly think that the ambush has been lifted, and boldly step into the circle of pirates, and then we will suffer heavy casualties. ”
Li Lianhai hesitated again when he heard this, and he was also thinking about the possibility of this matter.
Su Qiubai said angrily: "Are you stupid? My father is the commander-in-chief of the military district, and I will collude with pirates to harm him? ”
Zheng Haoran naturally knew that Su Qiubai and the pirates were not in the same group, he was just worried that Su Qiubai had made a great contribution here, so it would be even more difficult for him to deal with him.
"You dare to scold me?" Zheng Haoran glared at Su Qiubai and said.
"That's it! Don't make any noise! Li Lianhai interrupted Zheng Haoran's words sharply, "Now is a critical juncture, not the time for you to settle your personal grievances!" Xiao Su, I believe in your loyalty to the military region and to your father, hurry up and follow me. ”
After staying away from the people in the camp, Li Lianhai said to Su Qiubai: "When I reported to Commander Wu before, I didn't say that you disobeyed the military order again, so remember not to show it later." ”
Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Battalion commander, why do you want to help me hide it?" ”
Li Lianhai smiled and said, "Actually, I also understand that blindly sticking to military discipline on the battlefield can easily limit the performance of soldiers. I believe in my heart that you can do what you say, but I am the battalion commander, and there are many things to consider to agree to this matter, so I insisted on stopping you at that time. But since you have gone away despite my obstruction, you must be sure of this matter. So I decided to take a gamble with myself, and if you succeed, it will be a good thing for me. ”
Su Qiubai was very grateful for his trust in him, and if he changed to someone else, I am afraid that he would not believe that he could find out the location of the enemy's ambush with just one person. Although he had a secret order in hand, he didn't really care about the charge of disobeying the military order, but Li Lianhai took such a risk to help him, and he also remembered this kindness.
Su Qiubai followed Li Lianhai to the location where Wu Yuanshan was, and when he saw the figures of the two, Wu Yuanshan also hurriedly stepped forward and asked Su Qiubai, "How is it?" Did you find out the results? ”
Su Qiubai nodded and asked, "Do you have a pen and paper?" I draw a map. ”
Wu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment and said, "You just went and walked around, and you can draw a map?" ”
Su Qiubai said modestly: "Actually, it's not a map, it's just a map to draw the location of the ambush point, which is convenient for the artillery company to break through remotely." ”
Wu Yuanshan ordered someone to take a pen and paper, handed it to Su Qiubai and said, "You draw first, and then you can assist when the artillery company is positioned, so as to ensure that every cannon can hit the target." ”
Su Qiubai didn't say much, and drew directly on the paper. Based on the position of the artillery company, and after calculating the approximate proportions, he accurately drew the directions of several ambush points, and the whole process took no more than 10 minutes.
"That's it?" When Su Qiubai handed the map to Wu Yuanshan, he still asked in disbelief.
"The situation is urgent, the drawing is rough, but the direction is no problem, while the other party has not reacted yet, it should be broken as much as possible." Su Qiubai replied.
Wu Yuanshan glanced at the map, there were a total of six ambush points on it, and the surrounding obstacles were marked, which was indeed very clear.
"Inform the artillery company to prepare to set up guns, use large-caliber mortars, and set up six guns at the same time, and clean them up at once, so that they don't notice that things have changed and change the ambush point!" Wu Yuanshan quickly gave the order.
Then Su Qiubai followed the artillery company to set up the artillery, and when calculating the range and direction, Su Qiubai directly provided them with the accurate number, so that there should be no deviation in the shooting point.
When all six mortars were ready, Wu Yuanshan and Su Qiubai glanced at each other, and after making sure that one was right, Wu Yuanshan gave the order to open fire.
A moment later, as six violent explosions sounded one after another, Wu Yuanshan ordered Su Qiubai to investigate again in order to make sure that the ambush had been successfully broken.
Su Qiubai was still very confident in his arrangement, so this time he didn't even look for cover, and directly ran back and forth as fast as he could, and found that the six shells all accurately hit the ambush point, and even detonated their ammunition, causing a bigger explosion, and those pirates who were ambushing were afraid that few of them would go back alive.
After Su Qiubai fed back this information to Wu Yuanshan, he finally gave the order for the whole army to attack.
The area in the center of the island is the most heavily defended place for the pirates, and they lost less than 200 people in this ambush, and they did not hurt their bones, and the remaining forces are still not to be underestimated, so the Wei Navy chose to camp three kilometers away from the pirate base camp, because those pirates did not have air attack means, so they even saved air defense.
Because this is not a big battle, the strategy of the Defending Navy District is to fight quickly and use the guide. Bombs raze their base camp to the ground, and the Marines will clean up the fish that have slipped through the net, which will also minimize their own casualties.
Su Qiubai knew that those pirates knew their battle plan early on, so naturally it was impossible for them to stay in the base camp stupidly and wait for them to bomb them, and they must not know where to withdraw early in the morning, but he had the heart to remind them, and he was afraid that in this way, the military region would really find the position of the pirates again and annihilate them in one fell swoop, and the game of chess played by Su Pojun would lose its greatest significance. Therefore, he concealed that the pirates knew about his plan, and let Wu Yuanshan command the artillery to carry out an indiscriminate bombardment of the pirate base camp.
When the smoke of the explosion cleared, Wu Yuanshan began to order people to be sent to the bombing area to investigate the casualties of the other side.
At this time, Su Qiubai couldn't sit idly by anymore, because he knew that those pirates had almost no casualties, and they were laying traps waiting for them to jump in, even for Su Pojun's plan, he wouldn't watch these soldiers go to death, so he went directly to Wu Yuanshan.
"Sir, I think it's very inappropriate to go in such a hurry, first, we don't know whether the bombing was carried out thoroughly, and if they still have the remnants of their forces, we can easily cause unnecessary casualties if we go in unprepared. Second...... I don't know if the brigade commander found out, but we were suddenly attacked at sea the night before yesterday, and the ambush we encountered when we landed today, these pirates obviously knew that we were coming, and if they did not stay in the base camp at all, but retreated to other places, wouldn't our bombardment just now come to naught? Su Qiubai tactfully told the truth.
Wu Yuanshan frowned when he heard this, he hadn't thought about this question before, because in his opinion, it was impossible for pirates to understand their plans, and they thought that the sneak attack that night was just a coincidence, otherwise those pirates should not only send a few death squads to deal with them, after all, it would be difficult to cause them big losses. As for the ambush on the shore, it is possible that the movement of their landing was too great, which caused the pirates to temporarily defend themselves, and the time between their destruction of the ambush and the bombardment of the base camp was only a little more than an hour, which was not enough for them to evacuate the base camp.
"I think you're overthinking, how can a pirate have such a great ability to know our battle plan?" Wu Yuanshan said unbelievingly.
Su Qiubai didn't dare to say anything about the ghosts in the army for the time being, but said: "This is also my guess, but I would rather believe it or not, just in case, I think it is better to send more troops, once you encounter any situation, you will not be suppressed by the other party, at least you can retreat." ”
He can only say that, I believe that as long as Wu Yuanshan is not stupid, he will accept his construction, because there is no harm in sending more troops except for the troublesome points of mobilization, and in case the troops in the belt are not enough, once he encounters the situation that Su Qiubai said, not to mention the big losses, he will also bear the unshirkable responsibility. Although the probability of this happening is small, it cannot be ignored.
"Okay, then, according to what he said, send all three regiments of the Marine Corps over, take the battalion level as the unit of activity, outflank the past, and once the situation is discovered, retreat first on the premise of ensuring safety, and then formulate a combat plan." Wu Yuanshan said to officers at all levels.
Su Qiubai's goal was achieved, and he hurried back to his camp.
