In the western sky, the last faint purple glow had vanished, and the whole land had sunk into darkness. In the darkness, the Model Army commandos, wearing dogskin hats, sheepskin jackets, and skis on their feet, had already entered a state of imminent battle. The muzzles of the sled dogs are also covered so that their barks do not alarm the enemy.

"As we just observed, the whole village is surrounded by a wall, and there is only one gate in the wall." Yang Wannian is once again explaining the tactics to the commandos, "The first and second squads are responsible for blocking the gate, and no one can be released." Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Don't worry, the battalion commander, a Tartar ran from me, and I'll come to see you!" Another fighter, presumably the squad leader, also replied.

"Second squad leader, you don't have to be like this, a Tartar is not worth this, but if you really let the Tartar run away here in your class, the second pot head you ration will be distributed to the other classes, what do you think?" Yang Wannian made a joke when he heard it. As an experimental unit fighting in the cold region, Yang Wannian's troops have a special supply material, that is, Erguotou liquor. In addition to being used to warm up the body, this item can also be used for medical treatment and as a fire starter, so it is also used as a military material for troops fighting in cold areas. One of the side effects was that almost all the soldiers in the cold region became drunkards. For them, the mortgage of the second pot head of the entire class is no worse than what "comes to see" in terms of deterrence.

"Oh battalion commander, that's a good idea! So do it! The other soldier laughed as well.

"Squad leader, if you run away from you, you too?" The second squad leader's eyes widened.

"Of course! If you don't run, go back to the battalion commander and please drink! "The first squad leader wisely shifted the target.

"Less nonsense. We then set up combat missions. Yang Wannian said in a low voice, "The third and fourth shifts are responsible for vigilance, and the firepower is even ready for arson, right?" ”

"No problem!" Everyone responded with a bang.

In fact, there were only eight people in the firepower company, but each of their members was a non-commissioned officer, and they all received military salaries with the rank of platoon commander. Their main weapon is a relatively small trebuchet. This thing is usually disassembled into parts, mounted on a sleigh, and reassembled when it is needed. It can throw an oil tank used for arson more than two hundred paces away. This distance is not even comparable to that of some heavy crossbows mounted on the walls, and considering that if the tank is to be thrown over the wall, it must be deployed closer to the enemy's wall, and generally speaking, it must be deployed about 150 paces away from the enemy's wall to launch an effective attack. Therefore, when it comes to tactical use, commandos carrying this weapon are generally required to use it under the cover of night to avoid the attack of the enemy's long-range weapons.

But it is not easy to use such a weapon in the dark of night. First, you'll have to reassemble the disassembled stone thrower in total darkness, which is much more difficult than assembling a gun in the dark. If it weren't for very hard training, they wouldn't be able to master this skill, so their platoon commander's salary was definitely not taken for nothing - this skill was worth the price.

Several sleds silently approached the village of Kengchen in the darkness, and there was no sound in the village. A few soldiers disembarked from the sleigh and began to dig holes for the catapults with the help of a faint starlight. Catapults cannot be used directly on the snow, because the snow is too soft, and even frozen snow cannot withstand the recoil of the catapult. If the catapult is placed directly on the snow surface, when used, the catapult will not only be inaccurate, but may even overturn. When digging through the snow, it is inevitable that there will be a little sound, but the howling north wind at night will drown these sounds, at least, ordinary people cannot hear such sounds from a hundred paces away and through the wall.

However, if people can't hear it, it doesn't mean that other things can't be heard, for example, dogs can hear it, so there are a few dog barks faintly in the village.

Wang Changrong, the commander of the fire company, made a gesture, everyone stopped, Wang Changrong made a gesture to Batu Zazhigree, and Batu Zazhigree untied the muzzle of a sled dog lying beside him, and then patted it lightly on the neck, and whispered: "Buck!" ”

Buck, who was lying on his stomach on the snow and pretending to be dead, stood up at once, stretched his neck towards the sky, and let out a long wolf howl. Yes, this sled dog has a heavy wolf bloodline and often barks in a wolf howl as well.

The dogs in the village barked more vigorously, but the people of the village were relieved - it was just some wolves outside. If it was daytime, the Jianyan in the village might be interested in coming out to see if they could catch a few wolves, but now it's night, and if they go out to fight wolves at night, I'm afraid that they will be beaten by wolves. And anyway, the wolf can't get past the wall. As for the enemy, they simply could not imagine that an enemy could travel hundreds of miles in this heavy snow and come here to attack them. So, the village didn't pay much attention to it.

Under such cover, the men of the fire company quickly cleared the firing positions and began to assemble the catapults. This is a complex job, especially when operating with gloves. It took eight men about half an hour to assemble a trebuchet. Hang the throwing arm, place a tank of oil in the throwing basket, tie the rope that pulls the hydrant, and press the counterweight up piece by piece.

"Okay?" Wang Changrong asked.

"Alright, all right!" A soldier loaded the last piece of counterweight lead onto it, then replied.

"Alright, get out of the way, I'm going to launch!" Wang Changrong said.

The people next to the catapult all retreated - when the catapult was launched, it was not uncommon for accidents to occur, such as a broken throwing arm or something. (The long throwing arm is made of tough yew wood, but consistency is problematic regardless of the wood, and the need for this type of throwing machine to be as light as possible makes the throwing arm prone to such failures.) Once such an accident occurs, it is easy to cause casualties. So at the time of launch, everyone should be dispersed.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Wang Changrong stepped on the launch pedal. The noose on which the throwing arm hung loosened, and under the pull of the falling counterweight, the long throwing arm jerked upwards with a "woo" sound, and then threw a ten-pound oil tank towards the village of Jianxin. The speed of the oil tank was not fast, so Wang Changrong could still see the sparks flashing on it—the fire that had been lit by pulling the hydrant was burning.

The spark disappeared behind the dark walls of the village, and then the sound of something shattering was heard, and then a burst of fire rose at once.

"Good job, a few more shots!" Wang Changrong said.

Several fighters immediately came up, removed the counterweight, reset the throwing arm and loaded it into the tank...... Two minutes later, however, another oil tank flew towards Keng's village again.

When a local oil tank smashed on the wall of a house and lit a fire, the flag people in the village did not fully understand, and some people thought that someone had accidentally caused the water to go, and they ran over to put out the fire, but soon, the second and third oil canisters fell from the sky, and several fires suddenly ignited in the village. What's worse is that these fires are very difficult to extinguish, and the snow thrown by the big shovel not only did not extinguish the fire, but also flowed down the melted snow. And outside the village, there were constantly oil fire canisters being thrown in, one of which smashed directly next to a few flag men who were busy fighting the fire, and the fire oil with flames suddenly splashed all over their bodies, these people rolled all over the ground to try to extinguish the fire, but it was useless, but in the blink of an eye, these people were burned into fire people. They writhed around in pain, igniting more things, and even bumping into other people who tried to save them. Those who tried to save them immediately discovered the viciousness of the flames on them. The fire oil they are wearing is different from ordinary fire oil, this fire oil is very sticky, as long as it touches it, it can be stained on clothes or skin, and it is difficult to get rid of it. (Some raw rubber is added to these light crude oils, so it is very sticky) Some people who went to save people were seriously burned themselves.

The fire soon became uncontrollable, the temperature in the village rose rapidly, the snow on the ground quickly melted, and the flames flowed around with the melted snow. But soon, the snow was burned dry, and everything in the village was on fire, and the orange-red flames rose five or six feet high, and the people of the village could no longer stay in the village, and the air around them was hot enough to scorch them. So these people gave up putting out the fire and other things, and turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village, and they opened the gate to run out of here. However, as soon as they opened the gate, they were hit by a salvo of shotguns, and the twenty soldiers of the first and second squads had already touched the place where they were only ten steps outside the gate, and lined up in formation, and this round of volleys immediately knocked over the seven or eight Jianqi running in the front. More Jianshen rushed over, but they immediately received another volley, and were knocked over by more than a ten.

The soldiers of these two squads were divided into two groups, relying on two double-barreled shotguns, and fired four salvos in succession, killing the forty or fifty sturdy jianzhi who rushed to the front, this village had only a few hundred people, and the young and strong men among them were only a hundred, and many of them had been burned to death in the fire, and now these four volleys almost killed the rest. After the four volleys were over, the soldiers quickly loaded their shotguns with bayonets and lunged at the rest. These Jiang, who escaped from the fire, took almost nothing with them, all of them were unarmed and defenseless, and in the face of twenty bayonets, they had no ability to resist at all, and they were quickly killed.

"Hurry up and unpack the things, it's still a long night and we still have time to burn down the next village."

The killing over there was not over yet, but Yang Wannian had already begun to urge the people of the Fire Company to pack up the trebuchet. It's going to be a long night tonight. ()
