Chapter 101: Night Attack
Northeast of Huilai County, Chaozhou Prefecture, the Ming army, which had been pursuing the People's Army of Hu Zhuang all the way for a day, had already camped and rested in an open field, and the exhausted Ming soldiers almost fell asleep after dinner, they were too tired.
Compared with the People's Army, which is better at long-distance attacks, the Ming Army has very little training in related aspects, and the recruitment is better, and the Weisuo Army is really too poor.
In order to prevent being attacked by the People's Army at night, the Ming army camped and rested also sent personnel to guard around the camp, but because the road was too tired, there were many Ming soldiers who were in charge of vigilance, and they could fall asleep on the side.
"Damn, these rioters are too capable of running."
"After walking for a day during the day, my tired legs trembled."
"It's better to be adults, there are horses to ride, we little soldiers can only walk on our own feet, and our feet are going to be worn out."
"I feel that if I continue to chase like this, sooner or later I will die of exhaustion."
……
At first, the object of conversation between the Ming soldiers and soldiers was still the People's Army, but not long after, the object of conversation turned to their superiors.
"Alas, when is this day a head, those ordinary people are afraid when they look at us, but what is the difference between us and the tenants under the landlord."
"Heh, who let us just be an ordinary soldier, the adults treat us as cattle and horses, when chasing and killing the rebels, we chase with our feet in front, and the adults are riding horses to stay behind, we don't know how to live after we die, the brothers fight and kill and exterminate the chaotic people, and the credit goes to the adults."
"Be quiet, these words can't be heard by adults."
……
From the words of the Ming soldiers, it can be easily seen that the low-level soldiers hate the officers and generals, the officers and generals live a luxurious life, and the low-level soldiers can only barely eat enough.
Of course, the officers and generals are constantly squeezing the low-level soldiers, but the officers and generals do not dare to be like those landlords who squeeze the tenants fiercely, and the tenants who can't survive rebel are just chaotic people who don't have much power.
For the soldiers, it is not enough to have enough to eat, they are soldiers, not tenants, if they really can't eat, the soldiers really dare to rebel.
However, now the soldiers can eat enough, for the oppression, exploitation and slavery from the officers and generals, they can only remember in their hearts, abuse in their hearts, and dare not rebel, the soldiers know the power of the court better than ordinary people.
Soon late at night, the entire Ming army camp quieted down, if the Ming soldiers in charge of vigilance were sleepy, they sat directly on the spot and lay down to sleep, leaving only a few Ming soldiers to open their eyes to observe the surrounding movements, if there is an enemy attack, they can be found as soon as possible, and send a warning to their colleagues in the barracks.
"Quick! Fast! ”
With a few loud passwords, Hu Zhuang's People's Army touched the woods on the right rear of the Ming army camp under the cover of night.
"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase."
The essence of guerrilla warfare was kept in mind by Hu Zhuang, and from time to time it was used in this Ming army that pursued Hu Zhuang all the way to the People's Army.
More than 2,500 Ming troops pursued Hu Zhuang, a 1,000-strong people's army, with a company of firearms troops, Hu Zhuang was able to hit the Ming army head-on, but Hu Zhuang did not do so, the gap in strength was large and it was easy to have accidents, Hu Zhuang chose to retreat, attracting the Ming army to pursue.
When the Ming army divided its troops to pursue Hu Zhuang's people's army, Hu Zhuang found an opportunity to concentrate his forces to attack the Ming army all the way, easily eliminating more than 400 Ming troops, and led the army to retreat before the other two roads of the Ming army came, and the number of casualties of the people's army itself was less than ten.
All the way the Ming army was defeated, the Ming army no longer divided the troops, Hu Zhuang chose to take this Ming army around, the Ming army that ran was physically and mentally exhausted, and turned around to attack the Ming army.
The generals of this Ming army also knew that they might be attacked by the enemy, so they sent many Ming soldiers to patrol and guard after camping, as long as the People's Army was found before the enemy attacked the camp, so that the Ming Army had some time to prepare, and they were not afraid of the People's Army attacking the camp.
However, the KPA's attack on the camp was not what the Ming generals thought.
Hu Zhuang all the way to the People's Army into the woods, and then keep approaching the Ming army camp, when out of the woods, the People's Army is more than 100 meters away from the edge of the Ming army camp, the Ming army is also worried that the People's Army will sneak attack the camp from the woods, so it will be stationed at some distance from the woods, and arrange a lot of people to guard this side.
"Tiger head gun ready!" Hu Zhuang's order was quickly conveyed to the ears of all firearms soldiers by the heralds.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the firearms unit loaded the tiger head guns in the dark, and soon, the ammunition was loaded, and all the tiger head guns were aimed at the Ming army camp.
"Fire!"
Suddenly, with the light of fire and the roar, more than 120 tiger head guns fired devouring lead bullets at the Ming army camp in unison.
At the moment when the tiger head gun fired, other KPA fighters shouted one after another: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Before the sound came, the lead bullet arrived first, and many Ming soldiers in the barracks who were asleep were hit by the lead bullet, some people were woken up by pain, and then kept wailing, and some people opened their eyes, they couldn't say a word, and the blood continued to flow out of their bodies, and they were not far from death.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
In the dark night, more than 120 lead bullets were shot at a distance of 100 meters, and the casualties to the Ming army were actually not much, and it was expected that no more than 30 people would be shot, but because it was dark now, the sudden attack made the entire Ming army camp chaotic.
"Where is the enemy?"
"I'm hurt, save me!"
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! ”
……
In the dark night, the tired Ming soldiers, the enemy who didn't know where, the Ming soldiers were constantly shot and fell, and the officers and generals of the Ming army were powerless to restore calm to the chaotic barracks, which eventually led to a phenomenon - bombing the camp!
"Run! The enemy is coming! ”
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! They all stand in place, and those who violate it will be killed! ”
Burst!
There were Ming army officers who kept calm, and directly raised their knives to kill several Ming soldiers who caused chaos in the barracks, hoping to calm down the other soldiers.
But for the Ming army camp that has been completely chaotic, the killing is no longer of any use, the chaos can no longer be stopped, and even the Ming soldiers and soldiers are fighting each other with knives, and in the dark, they can no longer distinguish who is the enemy and who is the colleague.
In the dark, the frequency of tiger head gun firing was greatly reduced, and the soldiers of the cold weapon unit were still shouting loudly, but none of them rushed to the chaotic Ming army camp.
If the People's Army rushes to the camp of the Ming army, it is very likely to defeat the Ming army, but its own casualties will also be very large, and the dark night will also cause chaos on its own side, and there is no distinction between friend and foe.
