Chapter 10 No matter how many people there are, it is useless
For Zhou Shuo, the ambitious snakes, they originally thought that everything was under their control, but they didn't know that they were caged birds, no matter how they jumped or jumped, they couldn't escape the cage that Hu Biao had made up for this.
On the surface, Qin Tianyou only had one company under his command, with a total of less than two hundred troops. And the weaponry, although better than the security regiment in the city, did not see any weapons with great lethality, such as the artillery that was raging at the moment.
In view of the limited defensive strength, Hu Biao did not want to play a cat-and-mouse game with the siege bandits. Since it has been decided to encircle and suppress these bandits who have gathered together, it is necessary to show the ability to destroy the withering and decaying, and give a serious warning to those who have bad intentions.
To win this battle, Hu Biao believes that in a short period of time, no one should dare to fight the idea of Shillong again. If you want to gain a foothold in Shillong, it is also necessary to show your strength. Only when people know what the outcome of confrontation will be, will others be in awe.
In today's world, many people are afraid of power and morality, and whoever has a harder gun can stand up and speak. Even if Hu Biao doesn't want to convince the people in this way, blindly practicing benevolent government may not work in such places.
The strategy of carrots and sticks can make Hu Biao control Shillong, so that more people with good intentions can be grateful for the good life that Hu Biao has brought them. Only then can those with ill-intentioned intentions know what the price of resistance will be.
Eight shells fanned into the charging bandits, and the loud explosions and flames startled the charging bandits. The many bandits who were injured and killed by the explosion also made the remaining bandits begin to become a little flustered in their hearts.
Among them, there are even big bandits, who said with a frightened face: "The surname Zhou, what's the matter?" Damn, how do those guys in the city have cannons? Didn't you say that those people only had machine guns? These cannons, where did they come from? What do you say? ”
Troops with artillery and troops without artillery are naturally the former and cannot be provoked. Characters who are qualified to become the big bandit leaders naturally know the power of artillery. Faced with these artillery units, they had no choice but to flee.
Zhou Shuo, who was also shocked by the shells, said with a frightened face: "Damn, they must have hidden the artillery!" Rush, there are many of us, only by rushing over, can we win. Otherwise, no one will want to have a peaceful birthday in the future! ”
Even if he was afraid in his heart, Zhou Shuo felt that it was almost impossible to miss such an opportunity tonight, and to control Shillong in his own hands in the future. If such a big thing happened, Qin Tianyou and Zhu Chengzong would definitely not let him go.
"The surname Zhou, double the money! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will not mix! ”
The so-called spending money, that is, the cost of employment. Many bandit leaders felt that they would pay a lot of money tonight. If you don't get some more money out, it's hard to account to the dead or wounded brothers.
Facing the fierce bandit bosses who wanted money, Zhou Shuo could only grit his teeth and say: "Okay! Lay down Shillong, double the money! ”
Zhou Shuo, who was dripping blood in his heart, didn't have much choice at all. Once these bandits let go, let alone regain control of Shillong, it will be difficult to save his life. In this case, he had no choice but to add money to let the bandits continue to work hard.
The five-speed shell smashed down, and the attacking bandits still put on a desperate posture, and Hu Biao, who was watching this scene, sneered: "Not bad! It seems that the bandits in the southwest are a little more bloody than I thought. Lao Qin, let's fight! ”
"Yes, General!"
From the moment Hu Biao put on the general's uniform issued by the Nationalist Government, the officers and men of the task force felt full of confidence. For these veteran team members, they all knew that more than a year ago, Hu Biao was just an ordinary sergeant.
As Hu Biao told them before, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. As an elite, in the hearts of the officers and men of the task force, how can they not have a dream of being a general? And at this moment, the clothes Hu Biao wears are their supreme pursuit!
The general is the courage of the army, and with the general Hu Biao here, the officers and men of the task force also feel very relieved. Compared with fighting the little devils behind enemy lines, the officers and soldiers felt that the bandits should be better cleaned up. This battle, they won!
Considering the limited number of troops defending the city, the soldiers arranged by Qin Tianyou on the front line were all equipped with light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns. Behind the machine gunners, there was a sniper team and a rifle team led by Hu Biao, shooting the fish that slipped through the net for Qin Tianyou.
Qin Tianyou, who came to the machine gun position, said with a cold expression: "Put these bandits close to fight!" ”
"Understood!"
Eight mortars behind him began to provide intermittent lighting and artillery fire. The fighters lying in the machine-gun position were ready to shoot. In the face of the large number of bandits scattered and attacking, the combat team members were extremely calm.
As far as the members of the task force are concerned, they all have strong combat experience. Even though the number of siege bandits was several times that of them, all the combat team members were calm in their hearts and did not feel afraid.
In the face of the bandits beginning to fire their guns indiscriminately, putting pressure on the defenders, the combat team members on the position remained calm. It wasn't until a bandit entered a distance of 100 meters from the machine gun position that Qin Tianyou shouted: "Fight!" ”
The heavy machine guns mounted on the sandbags began to spew flames, and the bullets that flew out at high speed were like a chain of fire, knocking the bandits who rushed to the front to the ground. The machine-gun fire caused the charging bandits to panic again.
If it was just a machine gun, it would have been fine, but the bandits who were charging suddenly found that there were countless more machine guns at the city gate. The officers and soldiers defending the city tonight poured out bullets as if they were not equipped with rifles at all.
With such a dense network of firepower, it is simply an instant death. Even if the bandits are outnumbered, they are also flesh and blood. Far away, to withstand mortar hits. Close, those machine gun bullets tasted equally unpleasant.
"M's! This time it's a big loss! Damn, the surname Zhou didn't tell the truth at all. And a few machine guns, these are at least dozens of light and heavy machine guns. With such firepower, as long as the bullets are enough, no matter how many of us are, it will be in vain! ”
"What should I do? Or, withdraw? ”
"How to withdraw! If you can't get anything, how can you explain to your brothers when you return to the mountain? ”
On the one hand, there are the benefits that can be reaped after the city is broken, and on the other hand, there is the deadly machine-gun threat. Several rounds of machine gun fire fell, and the bandits' offensive came to a halt. Looking at the corpses of the bandits lying at the gate of the city, the combat team members were very calm.
In the past, when they fought behind enemy lines, they were the main attackers. Now that they're here, they're on the defensive side. But that doesn't mean they can't defensively. On the contrary, in terms of defensive combat capabilities, they are just as strong!
In the face of the blockade of powerful machine-gun fire, even the desperate bandits did not dare to continue to charge, and lay at the gate of the city one by one, for fear of being hit by bullets. But even if they lie down, the bandits still have to worry about the shells falling.
Seeing that the bandits were lying on the front of the position and did not dare to move at will, and felt that the time was about the same, Hu Biao said: "Hit the signal flare and let the pillar attack from behind." Attack back and forth, and force these bandits down as soon as possible! ”
"Yes, General!"
The guard standing next to him took out the flare gun he was carrying, pulled the trigger and fired a flare. Looking at the signal flares that rose into the air, the many bandits who were suppressed at the city gate became more worried.
Many bandits lying on the ground were even more frightened: "Signal flares? What are the conspiracy of the officers and soldiers? Have we been fooled? ”
This concern was quickly confirmed, and listening to the gunshots coming from behind him, the bandits who were blocked at the city gate were even more panicked: "We are surrounded!" Damn, we're fooled! This is a conspiracy of the officials and soldiers, and we are doomed! ”
If you talk about the machine guns at the city gates, these bandits do not dare to continue the attack. The sound of gunfire from behind them realized that they were being copied from behind. Now let alone break through Shillong City, even if you want to escape, you can only take chances!
Tian Tiezhu, who had already pulled up the blockade net behind the bandit army, said very sternly: "When attacking, don't be too anxious, advance steadily, and drive all the bandits hiding behind to the city gate." It's like herding sheep, you know? ”
"Understood!"
Even if some bandits left some men behind the team, in the face of the sneak attack of Tian Tiezhu and others, these bandits were powerless to resist. After retreating, the bandits could only run to the city gate, hoping to join the team in front of them.
Listening to the gunshots coming from behind the bandits, Hu Biao knew that Tian Tiezhu and his party had completed the outflanking, and then said: "Old Qin, shout to persuade him to surrender!" Give them a quarter of an hour to think about it, and the bandits who refuse to surrender will be killed! ”
"Yes, General!"
"Pull the troops of the security regiment over, give them weapons, don't give them ammunition, let them come and hold the prisoners in the scene. By the way, let them see, our results tonight. It's easier to subdue that way! ”
Thinking that the current manpower is limited, and the detention of prisoners will also occupy a lot of manpower, Hu Biao immediately thought of the hundreds of people currently staying in the security group. Although those people don't do anything, they can be regarded as officers and soldiers. Keeping bandits in custody shouldn't be a problem.
If the guns are not fired, there is no fear of the officers and men of these security regiments rebelling in front of the formation. As for the battle scene in front of the position at this moment, Hu Biao felt that letting those officers and soldiers see it could also form an effective deterrent and let them know how serious the consequences of the confrontation were.
Although the security regiments in various places have the responsibility of eliminating bandits. But Hu Biao knew in his heart that for most of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment, being a soldier carrying a gun was just for food. If you really want to let them go into the mountains to suppress bandits, I'm afraid that many times it will be a formality.
Tian Tiezhu, who was in charge of outflanking, led the task force to advance smoothly. At the city gate, Hu Biao asked the mortar detachment and the grenadier detachment to continue to exert pressure on the bandits at the city gate. Faced with a situation of being flanked from both sides, the surrounded bandits were like pins and needles.
The attack was frustrated, and now I can't withdraw even if I want to. Like ants falling into a hot pot, many of the surviving bandits also began to think about how to survive. If they keep staying, they're afraid they're really going to die!
