Chapter 211: The Beginning of the Edge
After the sniper killed the two bandit leaders, the rest of the bandits still hadn't reacted to what was going on, and almost all of them were still waiting for the beautiful little lady to open the door to welcome them in.
The sound of the gun was the order to attack, and in the next moment, many large-brimmed hats appeared on the wall, and the muzzle of the black hole in the hand opened fire at the bandit who was still confused.
At this time, the first squad of people and horses who were ambushed on the back road of the bandits also rushed out of the dense forest, and blocked the small bridge in time when the back road of the bandits noticed that something was wrong and wanted to rush across the small bridge.
The dense firepower killed all the bandits who dared to rush to the small bridge, and some of the bandits began to jump into the water in panic.
Although it is a nameless river, after a summer of replenishment, the current is still very fast. The bandits who jumped into the water were all unsteady on their feet due to the impact of the current, and the officers and soldiers on the shore had long expected this.
The team was divided into three parts, one to block the bridge, and the other two to shoot the bandits who jumped into the sides of the bridge to drink.
This kind of close-range shooting, and the bandits have no resistance, for the soldiers of the new army, it is simply a training to shoot moving targets, and it is simply not too accurate.
This section of the river was gradually stained red with blood, and the corpses of bandits floated on the river.
In the face of the sharp fire blockade of the officers and soldiers, the bandits no longer dared to try to rush across the small bridge, and ran towards the side of the brigade in a chaotic manner.
And the leader of the bandit guard, Ma Monkey, was killed in the first round of fire from the official army, because his treatment as a third-master riding a horse was too eye-catching.
The number of snipers in the new army can be said to be the largest, especially the reconnaissance brigade, each squad has at least one sniper.
The first target of a sniper on the battlefield is the enemy's commanders and officers.
Obviously, in this battle against bandits, the snipers showed this very well.
The three leaders were killed at the first time, and the remaining bandits became a real rabble, completely out of order.
Under the fire of the officers and soldiers from several directions, the bandits ran in all directions, causing the targets to be too scattered, and the effectiveness of the soldiers' shooting began to be greatly reduced.
The lieutenant decisively ordered the whole squad to attack and pursue the bandits.
The retreat was blocked, even the road to the back mountain was blocked, the bandits had no way up the mountain, no way to enter the ground, and after an hour or so of pursuit, basically the bandits were wiped out.
It cannot be ruled out that there are a few bandits who are lucky to hide, but it doesn't matter, there are villagers from Chenjiazhuang who continue to search with a patrol team.
In the end, after counting, the bandits dispatched a total of nearly 400 people this time, and almost all of the rest were taken prisoner, except for the 237 who were killed.
The disarmed bandits squatted on a threshing floor in Chenjiazhuang with their heads in their hands down, guarded by murderous soldiers of the New First Army.
Wei Dayong, the squad leader of the spearhead squad who was in charge of interrogating the prisoners, saw the lieutenant coming, walked over quickly, saluted, and said, "Captain, I have asked, these are basically all the bandits who came today." There were less than fifty or sixty of them, the sick, the sick, and the sick left in their lair, and dozens of women who had been taken captive by them. ”
The lieutenant nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then follow the rules of last time." ”
This means that the corpses and prisoners of these bandits are disposed of in the same way as last time.
Wei Dayong naturally understood, and saluted to make arrangements.
Soon, the captives dug several large pits under the threat of gunfire and threw the bodies of their slain accomplices into them.
After a fire was burned, it was completely buried.
I believe that in the coming year, this land will be abundant.
As for the remaining bandit captives, they were taken into the col again.
Although the farmers did not know what was going on inside, they could faintly hear the howls coming from inside, as weak as a dying beast.
When the soldiers came out of the col again, many of them had blood on their faces and uniforms, but they had a satisfied smile on their faces.
That smile made those villagers shudder a little, but they also felt a kind of peace of mind inexplicably, and looked at the officers and soldiers who walked past them in a line with respectful eyes.
Feeling the gaze of the villagers next to them, the soldiers' chests rose even higher, and even the blood stained on their uniforms seemed to be as dazzling as their medals.
At this time, the sky was already a little dark, but the troops had already regrouped and assembled into a neat queue in the open space in front of Chenjiazhuang.
The lieutenant stood at the front, his gaze swept over the young soldiers, and he nodded with a satisfied expression.
After the bloody baptism of the two anti-bandit battles, the soldiers obviously have a fierce temperament.
This temperament is like the edge and cold light of a knife, and those who can stab dare not look directly.
Although the light in front of him is still very weak, it has already begun to show the temperament of a peerless divine weapon.
Over time, after continuous tempering, it will surely become a shining weapon.
At that time, a sword light will be cold in nineteen states, and the sword qi will be 30,000 miles long, and no one will be able to stop it!
And this is exactly what the lieutenant wants to see, and it is also what Bai Mu, and Jiang Chuan, the founder of the new army, wants to see.
Retracting his gaze, the lieutenant only said: "Soldiers, you have not insulted the name of the new army. However, this is only the beginning, and there are many more enemies waiting for you in the future journey. Now, let's start again! ”
After finishing speaking, he turned to Chen Jiaying, who came to see off the villagers and villagers: "Miss Chen, the two bandits have been exterminated, you can rest assured in the future." What I promised you, I will definitely do. As soon as there is news, someone will come to you. ”
Chen Jiaying held a burden and handed it to the lieutenant and said: "My lord, this is a little heart, thank you and all the warriors for killing the thief and keeping us safe, and please accept it." ”
The lieutenant said in a deep voice: "It is the duty of our army to kill thieves, and the girl does not have to be like this. If you are killed or injured in battle, you will have a court pension. If it is a meritorious service, there are also court awards. The people of the world, since you pay grain and taxes, the court has the obligation to protect you to live and work in peace and contentment. If he accepted the girl's money, it would be an insult to this military uniform and a disloyalty to His Royal Highness the Regent. ”
Chen Jiaying was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Although she realized that the army in front of her was different from all the armies she had ever heard of, she was still shocked by the lieutenant's words.
"If the girl really has a grateful heart, then she might as well teach the villagers to know that this is all the grace of His Royal Highness the Regent. None of this would have happened if His Highness hadn't brought troops into the Guan'an world. ”
After finishing speaking, he saluted Chen Jiaying, turned around and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”
