Chapter 37: Cracking Down on Tribal Forces (2)
When Li Junhao learned from the mouth of Luo Jiali, the commander of the Third Division, that the bandits who attacked his construction team were not the British, but those black tribesmen who did not know whether they were alive or dead, Li Junhao thought about it, and it was impossible for the British to attack him and kill those unarmed refugees. Only these tribal chiefs, who have never treated their own people as unacceptable, can do it.
Then Li Junhao looked into the distance with a fierce look in his eyes, and said viciously: "Originally, Lao Tzu planned to come back to clean you up after cleaning up those British cubs, but you jumped out of here without knowing whether you were alive or dead, then don't blame me for being rude." Lao Tzu also learned from Taizu to fight the local tyrants and divide the land. ”
Then Li Junhao picked up the phone and gave it to the four division commanders of the 1234th Division, three of the four division commanders at this time were resting, and when they heard the confidential officer next to him inform him that there was a commander's phone, he hurriedly got up to answer the phone.
As a result, they all received the same order after picking up the phone, that is, to eliminate those tribal forces at all costs, although at first they received Li Junhao's order to think that it was to launch a new attack on the British, and they heard that it was to encircle and suppress the tribal forces, although they were a little disappointed, but it was better than hiding in the barracks to train soldiers.
Soon these division commanders who received the order began to intensify the pre-war intelligence gathering work, and then gathered it to Lee Jun-ho. Li Junhao was really shocked when he got all kinds of information. There are more than 300 large and small tribes, with an armed force of 40,000 or 50,000 people. Li Junhao muttered secretly: "There is such a big bomb buried next to Lao Tzu, you don't make trouble, Lao Tzu doesn't know yet, since you are exposed, Lao Tzu will not dispose of you, I'm sorry for myself." ”
Soon the four divisions began to get busy nervously, and each team was divided into hundreds of small groups of large and small groups rushing towards their goal.
At this time, a battalion of a certain division and regiment of the African People's Army rushed towards a medium-sized tribe under the leadership of a tough battle, and the chief of this tribe was the one who ordered the attack on his own road to build a stronghold, how could Li Junhao's dark heart spare them.
Soon the battalion was in its own combat area, and the battalion commander held up the binoculars to observe, and the battalion commander observed that at this time the chieftain's tribal settlement had a three-meter-high wall, and the place where he lived was impassable. Only one gate was left to enter and exit. On the periphery of the walls of this tribal colony are large and small buildings. Apparently the tribesmen who depended on this tribal chief for their survival. But one of the characteristics of these houses is that they are in tatters.
Observing the situation on the city wall, the battalion commander found that the tribe was quite vigilant, and there were guards every five meters on the city wall. Three minutes past a patrol. Two British-made Maxim heavy machine guns and four Lewis light machine guns were also found, and the firepower was quite strong.
This is a company commander who walked up to the battalion commander and said: "Battalion commander, the opponent's vigilance is very high, and the firepower configuration is also quite fierce, and I have observed that the opponent's strength has almost reached 600 people. Our previous plan for a sneak attack is no longer working. It can only be attacked. ”
"Well, I didn't bother to leave the artillery platoon at home when I came out, otherwise we would have trouble today. The artillery platoon was informed to first get rid of the opponent's vitality points, and then blew up the city gate, and we swarmed up, and if the other party dared to block it, he directly greeted him with grenades. Suppress the enemy from the momentum first. The battalion commander said:
"Battalion commander, you can rest assured, as long as they dare to stop Lao Tzu, let them drink a pot. That little bit of isn't enough for us to clean up. Another company commander said:
"Okay, don't talk big, let the artillery platoon prepare." The battalion commander stopped the company commanders and said:
After receiving the order from the battalion commander, the artillery platoon hurriedly commanded its own artillery to set up the artillery. Soon the fighters set up a mortar, calculated the shooting and entered the standby state.
At this time, the platoon commander shouted, "Open the gun." Mortar shells flew out of the chamber with an end sound, followed by several violent explosions. The machine guns on the ramparts were suddenly turned into scrap metal. Then the soldiers hurriedly turned the muzzle of the cannon to the city gate, and the huge wooden door turned into sawdust with flames flying around under the bombardment of several cannonballs.
At this time, the soldiers of the three companies that had already been prepared on the side saw their rifles in the rear and shouted: "Kill! "Rush towards the wooden door. The armed men inside were ready to return fire, but were strafed and killed by the firefighters who were covering the sidelines. Under their cover, the soldiers quickly rushed to the gate, and the soldiers in the first row took out the grenades on their waists, pulled off the ignition rope with their teeth, and threw them into the park through the gate. Then the grenades exploded, and the shrapnel from each grenade explosion killed and injured more than a dozen people. The soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to rush through the gate, and entered the courtyard, and the weapons in their hands kept shooting at the armed men who appeared around them. The fighters' marksmanship was unusually accurate, and as long as they showed up, they were either killed or wounded.
The warriors quickly pressed in. The opposing militants were retreating. At this time, the chieftain Yu walked out of the room wearing a white coat, grabbed an armed soldier who ran past in a panic and asked, "What's the matter, who is shooting guns in the middle of the night?" ”
The armed soldier saw that it was his own chieftain and hurriedly said with a crying voice: "Back to my lord, we have been attacked by a group of armed men, and now they have broken down the door. The fire was fierce, and our brothers suffered heavy casualties. The other party is about to hit here. ”
After listening to the words of the armed soldier, the chief said: "Waste, what is the use of me raising you. Block me immediately, or you will all die, and your family will follow. ”
As the chief said this, the courtyard continued to see shells exploding. It turned out that the artillerymen who stayed outside the city were not idle, but under the guidance of a newspaper man, they opened the way for the soldiers with shells. As a result, the armed soldiers of the tribe who were holding back were unlucky and were blasted into the sky by one shell, and the chieftain saw this and knew that he was finished, and he knew who had hit him. The mouth said: "It's over, it's over, it's all over." If I had known this, why would I provoke you? ”
Subsequently, the remaining armed men had lost their fighting spirit and chose to surrender under the slogan of the fighters "surrender the guns and do not kill them, and give preferential treatment to the prisoners". The warriors then rushed to the chief and restrained him.
The battalion commander then ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the spoils counted. Clean up the mess and gather the captives. Soon the data was sent to the battalion commander. The battalion commander took the list and saw that it read: "218 Mauser 98 rifles and 255 Lee Enfield rifles seized,7. 7 mm bullets 15800 rounds, 7. 92 mm bullets 9850 rounds. 20 gold ingots, each weighing about 1 pound. 100,000 taels of silver, 200,000 pounds. More than 800 tons of grain. 20 silk and 25 horses. A box of gold and silver jewelry. There are 9 cows and more than 80 sheep. ”
The battalion commander looked at it and said, "I'm not afraid to break my belly." ”
