Chapter 220: Chasing the Deserters
Li Xi led a platoon of volunteers, chasing behind hundreds of deserters, a platoon of only 30 people, but dared to chase hundreds of people, according to the normal phenomenon, hundreds of people dared to turn back, Li Si's only 30 people are definitely not opponents, but now 30 people are chasing more than 100 people to chase ducks, this is the result of courage.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Li Sisi exhaled, the deserters not far in front were more tired than them, thanks to the usual training, although they were panting and shouting, it was not a problem to persevere, why should they insist on chasing the deserters, the reason is very simple, because those deserters are not deserters, they are a pile of silver that can move, who doesn't want to earn silver, they usually practice hard, isn't it just to have the strength to pursue the deserters now!
Li Si stood still, quickly took down the Minnie gun on his back, and after loading the bullet, he "snapped" in the sky towards the fleeing person, it doesn't matter whether the bullet can hit the deserter, the role of the gunfire is to consume the remaining courage of the deserter, and he will soon be able to catch up with them, isn't it unlucky to be injured by a counterattack!
Sure enough, hearing the gunshots from behind, the body of the deserter who heard it was a spirit, and he didn't look back and dragged his tired body to escape with difficulty, usually these people have not trained long-distance running, and they were chased by the volunteers for half an hour, almost exhausted, and they couldn't breathe, and the later generations were well nourished, and people who didn't train much let him run a thousand meters suddenly, maybe he couldn't finish running, not to mention that the deserter was yellow and thin, and his life was in danger in front, so he insisted for half an hour and used his life to escape. If you don't run, your life may be lost, and who dares to stop.
But when manpower is poor, sometimes it is not something that can be done by thinking about it, and after running for so long, some deserters are physically exhausted, and one of them falls to the ground, his chest rises and falls, breathing like a windmill, and he looks like he has no love with his mouth open.
Compared with the "imperial army" that fled in front, the volunteers had a great advantage, that is, physical strength.
After all the volunteers entered the barracks, they began to regulate their bodies, eat and drink well, and such a good treatment of the volunteers was, of course, not to raise pigs, but to improve their training preparations.
The current volunteer army can maintain a long and rapid march, which is slowly improving, and then look at the fleeing miscellaneous army, because they are afraid of the Hongyi cannon, they can break out and escape for a while, and after a long time, they can only be tired and paralyzed.
Li Si panted forward and stepped on the stomach of the deserter, who wanted to break his foot, but unfortunately the physical strength consumed was exhausted and he was unable to struggle.
"Get up and keep running, grandson turtle."
Li Si was so angry that he didn't let go, causing their brothers to be so tired, just wait for them to be captured.
While scolding and scolding, while letting people find a rope to tie people up, a few deserters were tied together, someone will come to take over later, they just need to catch people, it is a war turning point for the volunteers, there may be a lack of logistics transport team, the deserters have just been greatly consumed, just let them run away, don't worry about running away again, fatigue is not easy to buffer.
On the other side of the battlefield, most of the deserters left without looking back, and the few officers and soldiers who did not have horses saw that the number of volunteers chasing them was small, and they knew that if they did not kill the pursuers behind, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Pursued by the volunteers and forced to have no way out, and do not want to become prisoners, counterattack is inevitable, people are forced to hurry, maybe like an ostrich burying its head, or a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers, probably the elite of the army this time, did not lose their weapons when they fled.
Zhang Shu's body squatted slightly, ready to face the battle, he was only the squad leader of the Volunteer Army, and he was not qualified to use the Mini gun, but his kung fu was not bad, and he trained to stab every day when he was free, for the current encounter.
There are many scattered officers and soldiers who escape, and the platoon commander pursues the deserters on a larger scale, and there are only 300 people in front of him, so naturally there is no need for the platoon commander to lead the team, as long as there is a squad leader level.
All the volunteers, the posture is also slightly squatting, the Mitsubishi gun in their hands, raised diagonally, this is the silent victory of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers suddenly became angry and shouted: "Kill them all!" ”
The 80 officers and men in front of them immediately quickened their pace and rushed forward. It is necessary to break the camp of the volunteers.
"Ready!"
Zhang Shu issued an order in a low voice, there was no platoon commander in the queue, and he led the volunteers to solve the problem, and the volunteers immediately took a diagonal step back, and the Mitsubishi gun shrank backwards.
The purpose of the contraction is to better thrust out, just like a retracted fist to hit someone.
Soon, the officers and soldiers with spears in their hands came to Zhang Shu and the others. Their formation was quite scattered, much worse than the three-person group of the volunteers, the formation was not really important, the important thing was to kill and wound the enemy, the officers and soldiers raised their spears, and did not form a strict step-by-step procession, so they rushed up directly.
The distance between the two sides quickly closed.
The sound of a heartbeat is faintly audible.
Erzhang ......
One Zhang......
"Forward stab!"
At this moment, Zhang Shu broke off.
"Snort!"
In an instant, the volunteers in the front row immediately stepped forward and stabbed the Mitsubishi gun forward at the same time.
The thrust that is trained every day, and now the Mitsubishi gun is stabbed, and the sound that seems to be heard breaking the sky is unusually sharp, tearing the sky in an instant.
The officers and men did not show weakness and dared to turn back to counterattack the volunteers, so they did not cowardly the bag, and compared with the volunteers, the stabbing of officers and soldiers was different, and the officers and men basically fought alone, and one person used a spear to stab. It was a small-scale-for-tat confrontation.
The three Volunteers together, one of them blocked the spear to prevent it from hurting his own people, and the other two attacked the enemy's weak points, with a set of tactics, the Volunteers had little way to survive the enemy.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
In an instant, the sound of Mitsubishi stabbing into the human body continued, Zhang Shu's group of three volunteers, blocked by others to block the spear, he and another volunteer in a breathing time, six consecutive stabs, the enemy's body instantly had twelve more holes, the enemy was still alive, looking at the body still can't believe it, and then fell to the ground completely without movement.
From the speed of the gun, you can see how hard the volunteers usually train, otherwise why do they stab five or six times in a breathing time, this frequency is trained with a lot of food, otherwise, a person who can't eat enough can stab twice with one breath, and the stab is not just a casual stab twice, but with all his strength.
There were more than forty corpses on the ground, and on each corpse's body, there were twelve more holes, and as few as six or seven, and after falling to the ground, a large amount of blood flowed out in a very short time, and the ground was suddenly bloody. More than 40 corpses, like children's toys, were paralyzed on the ground crookedly, and they didn't even have time to scream.
The officers and soldiers behind had not yet seen that the companions who rushed in front were all lying on the ground, and there seemed to be no casualties on the side of the thieves. They stood there with their spears clenched, their eyes cold and fierce. Each spear was dripping blood, drop by drop, string by string. Blood beads fall to the ground.
All the officers and soldiers were stunned and died like this?
More than forty people, just gone? Can't believe what you're seeing. The officers and soldiers of the second wave of charging felt their scalps tingling, and their hearts were completely cold, and the idea that they had been able to fight looked ridiculous, and the officers and soldiers were momentarily stunned
"Onward!"
"Kill!"
Before the officers and soldiers could react, Zhang Shu had already stopped drinking again. The Volunteers immediately flattened the Mitsubishi gun and steadily advanced.
The result of the first stab made the officers and soldiers stunned for a short time, and the battlefield was stunned, this is an act of looking for death, the volunteers will not let the enemy, and when they come back to their senses, they will play a fair battle, and the volunteers will not play this set, it is best that the enemy will be stunned for a lifetime, so that they can take the opportunity to kill the enemy.
The second wave of thrusts, within a breath of time, struck the enemy again, more than twenty corpses.
"Ah, please, uncle, don't! Don't kill me! ”
The first officer and soldier couldn't bear the pressure, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, just thought that the chasing volunteers were soft persimmons, and wanted to kill the few people with more people, who knew that the turn was too fast, and so many people died in two rounds of confrontation on their side, is it necessary to continue later.
Before being bombarded by artillery, the courage was almost exhausted, and then it was pursued by dozens of volunteers, and the little courage that was finally mustered up was easily solved by the spear, and the battle relied on courage, and the courage of the officers and soldiers was hit twice and there was nothing left. You can't escape if you run away, and in order to survive, you have to surrender one leg.
With the officers and soldiers who took the lead in kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, under the chain reaction, the remaining more than 200 people had no choice but to beg for mercy, if they had the ability to escape, or if they could kill the anti-thieves in front of them, who wanted to surrender, wouldn't the officers and soldiers want to kill the anti-thieves and get credit! It's a pity that they don't have the ability, the only option to surrender, of course, suicide is okay, the volunteers will never prevent suicide.
A skirmish ended with the surrender of officers and soldiers.
This was a skirmish, and the platoon commanders formed a team to deal with a large number of deserters, deterring the deserters with mini guns, and shooting the officers and soldiers who dared to resist among the deserters.
In addition to a small number of officers and soldiers on horseback, and those who were more fortunate escaped, more than 50,000 people organized by the government were easily captured, and in addition to the officers and soldiers who were killed and wounded, the captured prisoners could be used for more than 45,000 people.
The result of the battle was far-reaching, and there was no force in eastern Guangdong Province to oppose the volunteers, and the government wanted to suppress the volunteers, unless they were transferred from other provinces, they had a chance to defeat the volunteers.
The volunteers had Mini guns and Hongyi cannons in their hands, and the fighting spirit of the volunteers themselves who were not afraid of death, so the government had no ability to eliminate the volunteers. Even if troops can be transferred from other provinces, who will pay for the money and food for the troops, the imperial court? No way! The Southern Ming court was too busy to take care of itself, so it had time to manage things so far away in eastern Guangdong.
Send the news to Nanjing, and then send the Nanjing processing results back, the daylily is cold!
