The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and because of the rain, the temperature in this mountain forest drops suddenly, and the rain dripping on the face has a cold and biting feeling. Under such harsh conditions, Weiss continued to chase the main force of the guerrilla advance with his rearguard troops, but his fighters not only had to carry weapons and ammunition, but also carried a hundred Norman prisoners of war and dozens of wounded, and the speed of the march was certainly not as fast as that of the enemy troops who arrived here on transport ships. After marching a certain distance, Weiss decisively adjusted his strategy and split the rearguard troops, some of the soldiers continued to escort the Norman prisoners of war and protect their own wounded, and the rest of the combat forces quickly circled in front of the enemy under his direct leadership, preparing to take advantage of this rainy night to ambush them!

Weiss counted less than 300 soldiers and horses, while the other side had more than 1,200 men, a fourfold difference in numbers. Judging from the ambush battles that Weiss has experienced in the past, this difference in numbers does not prevent the ambush side from winning, and the key lies in the clever deployment and precise surprise attack. Although the arrival of this enemy made him feel inexplicable palpitations, he did not hesitate or hesitate from the time he made the decision to the time he led his troops to hurry. Even if it is really his brother who comes, the two of them are their own masters on the battlefield, only you live and die, and there is no family affection at all.

Without catching the exact trace of the opponent, the Norman army formed a battle reconnaissance formation, and did not advance quickly in a straight line. While keeping an eye on the enemy's whereabouts, while leading his soldiers to run wildly in the woods, it didn't take long for Weiss to find a suitable place for ambush, he easily laid out a crescent-shaped ambush position, more than 200 soldiers were divided into four groups, three groups were on the left, center, and right, and one group served as a reserve. It was not yet the frozen season, this rain, the land in the forest soon became soft and muddy, and the power of mortar shells was weakened, considering that the enemy cruiser never withdrew, Weiss had to save enough mortar ammunition to deal with this guy, so this ambush battle was dominated by gun firepower, under his direct command, the machine gun crews occupied the best positions, the riflemen were also told not to spare bullets, and those fighters with strong bomb throwing ability were arranged in a slightly forward position, So that you can smash the jack bullet at the enemy at the right time.

The ambush forces were already in position, and the enemy was slowly approaching. As the distance closer, Weisshorn discovered a new problem: the cunning enemy, in addition to sending scattered scouts around the route, was leading the line with a detachment of two hundred. It is not difficult to deal with the scattered scouts of the enemy in ambush warfare, and it is impossible to kill the enemy's detachment of 100 people quietly or hide in front of their eyes. If the battle is started according to the existing deployment, it can kill the enemy's vanguard without blood, and give the enemy's main force a head-on attack, but it is far from the expected ambush effect - in the case of the enemy's significant superiority, if the enemy cannot repel the enemy with one blow, it is very likely to be bitten by the enemy, bringing endless trouble to the subsequent action.

In the face of the enemy's anti-ambush strategy, Weiss is not without a solution, he can quickly adjust the ambush formation, let the middle troops move to the right road, and the reserve team to the left road, forming an inverted "eight" ambush formation, letting go of the enemy's vanguard troops, and focusing on striking the enemy's main force. Compared to the previous crescent moon formation, this deployment is much more difficult to fight, and if you encounter an enemy who reacts quickly enough, you may even incur defeat under the enemy's flank and back, or win a crushing victory.

Weighing the pros and cons, Weiss quickly made a decision: while the enemy was still close, all the men retreated and looked for a new opportunity.

The soldiers of the guerrilla advance detachment, who had not been under Weiss's command for a long time, had heard of his illustrious deeds, followed him through Lorraine, on a long journey, jumped out of the encirclement of the Norman army, and successfully defeated the Normans in this dense foggy mountain forest, and before suffering a major setback, they were still very convinced of his command. Everyone quickly withdrew from their positions, and at first they didn't have time to assemble and count, and only after crossing a hill did they regroup, only to find that three fighters were missing!

It was dark and the road was slippery, and the three missing fighters could have been separated during the transfer, or they could have hid too well in the ambush position, did not receive orders from their companions, and did not find out in time that the troops had withdrawn, either way, the situation could become very troublesome. At first, Weiss felt that he should focus on the overall situation and continue to lead his troops forward, but some officers immediately objected, saying that they could not leave their soldiers to the enemy, and that they should either continue to move forward and they would wait here for a while, or they would deploy on the spot and fight the enemy fiercely here.

Fighting the enemy to the death sounds like a pure will, this is a downhill terrain, if a battle starts here, directly let the enemy occupy a high place, it is to hand over the "geographical advantage" factor to the opponent. However, Weiss had an idea, since this group of enemies has a high level of tactical literacy, he will definitely be able to judge where the opponent is suitable for ambush, and when he passes through here, he will more or less relax his vigilance. In addition, the conventional ambush is a head-on attack, but this is not absolutely constant, if the enemy is allowed to pass through this downhill area and then start from behind their flank, the location is still in the hand, and it can also improve the effect of "surprise the enemy".

Convinced by the morale and the situation, Weiss decided to take a risk, and he gathered several leading officers and non-commissioned officers and spent two minutes teaching them face-to-face. As soon as he finished explaining, there were gunshots on the other side of the mountain, which were sporadic at first, but for a moment, the gunshots were mixed with the sound of explosions, and the rhythm of the battle suddenly rose. Weiss decisively ordered the officers and non-commissioned officers to take everyone to carry out the new plan, at this time, some people were hesitant, Weiss did not have time to talk to them, shouted "carry out the order", and personally threw himself into the ranks of the troops.

A few minutes later, more than 200 fighters set up a large bottomless pocket formation, separated by two thousand feet between the left and right positions - at this distance, two soldiers fired a shot face to face, if they used an old Grumman rifle bullet, even if they could hit each other, the kinetic energy would not be enough to penetrate the torso, and if it was a pointed bullet from a new semi-automatic rifle, as long as it was not in a lethal position, take out the bullet and treat it, and it would soon recover.

The gunfire on the other side of the hill was getting tighter and closer. After a while, Weiss caught a glimpse of a green void in his special vision, a straggler of a guerrilla advance team, wounded, who, after crossing the hill, stumbled down the hill and rolled into the bushes.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Norman soldiers appeared on the top of the hill, and the night and rain affected their vision, and they fired indiscriminately down the hillside, shouting "he ran down" and "try to catch it alive".

Unlike the soldiers beside him, Weiss saw more than just "liveliness", and he knew the location of the stragglers. Worried that the warriors would not be able to resist their actions, he reminded everyone to obey the order, and left the temporary position with his waist bent, and quickly touched the warrior under the cover of bushes and bushes. As he approached, he saw that the warrior had already raised his rifle and was ready to open fire on the Norman soldiers who were chasing him. He hurriedly lunged forward and whispered "his own people", stopping the soldier from firing at the last moment. A few Norman soldiers ran a dozen feet ahead, and after a few moments, when there was no enemy nearby, Weiss dragged him cautiously to the sides.

This thrilling process took only a few minutes, and the guerrilla advance fighters who were lying in ambush on both sides did not even know what was going on, and saw their commander leading their lost companions back, and they really couldn't find a more suitable word to describe their mood except "magical".

The medics rushed over to help the soldier with his wounds, and he grabbed Weiss's sleeve and said with a crying voice, "You are gone, and you have pulled us down...... We saw that the enemy was approaching, so we had to shoot, and we ...... We ......"

Weiss squatted down and patted him on the shoulder, it was not surprising that such an oolong incident occurred in such an environment, and it could even be said that this kind of unintentional accident could disturb the enemy's judgment to a large extent. He briefly reassured him and quickly returned to his place. After the scattered pursuers descended the slope, the two detachments of 100 led by the Normans also crossed the hill and descended at a relatively fast pace, they deliberately dispersed the formation, but did not conduct a large reconnaissance of the woods on both sides of the slope. After a while, a large force of Norman troops finally appeared on the hill. Among the many red frames, Weiss wasn't sure which one was his brother—or maybe he wasn't here, but was in the back. There were a lot of people in front of them, and the slope was already muddy, and the Norman soldiers inevitably slipped and fell when they went downhill, and some even rolled for a long distance. Watching the enemy move forward with difficulty, Weiss raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sneer, and when the Norman army passed straight ahead, he commanded the soldiers beside him: "Signal soldiers, light the flare!" ”

The Signal Soldier immediately fired flares diagonally upwards with flare guns - flares were perfect for use in such environments due to their limited flare coverage and short duration. As the dazzling light bloomed on the rainy night, Weiss roared "fire" and threw a pineapple bullet at the Norman soldiers hundreds of feet away, lying below the slope.

The sound of gunfire resounded through the mountains and forests, but this time, behind the gunfire was the anger of the soldiers of the Union guerrilla task force, and the ensuing explosions made the Normans shudder in surprise. Under the light of the flares, they looked extremely embarrassed, one by one sliding on the slope, one by one twitching in the rain of bullets. Before the soldiers finished the magazines and the bullets in the magazines and reloaded, the Normans were almost passively beaten, until there was a gap in fire on the battlefield, they barely organized counterattack fire, but when the bullets and grenades were smashed down again, their momentum was completely suppressed, and the number of casualties increased at a rate of ten or twenty per second......
