Chapter 37: The Bandits' Attack (1)
(3rd Update)
"Acquito...... 10,000 ......"
Hu Zhen mentioned in the intelligence collected by Su Wenzhen and Chen Zichao that this person was a bandit leader who seemed to be quite ambitious, and other bandits only knew how to burn and kill, rob homes, and sell people, but in addition to doing these, he was also keen to annex other bandits with small forces and strive to expand his own power.
Acchaito's habit was to send people to persuade him to surrender first, and if he did not surrender, he would inevitably annex it by force.
"Oh, Acquito? Looks like we're going to have to meet him! "Hu Zhen is not worried about fighting with this bandit, the weapon in his hand is that the army of a European power is afraid of seven points, and now he is thinking about whether he can solve Acchaito's forces once and for all in a battle, and take over his territory to the Huaxia Army as a base.
"Do you want to get rid of these thieves now?" After Ouyang Yu went up to the wall, the first thing he did was to arrange for all snipers to be in place, and now they can shoot at any time, so he came to ask for instructions.
"Slow! I also have an intelligence report. Hu Zhen looked back and saw that it was Su Wenzhen who spoke.
"When's the information?" In order to avoid delaying the fighter in this troubled era, Hu Zhen has already stipulated that important information must be reported immediately, Su Wenzhen is definitely a dedicated chief of staff, but now he is reporting the information, Hu Zhen feels a little strange.
"I only received it this morning after five kilometers of armed cross-country, and I haven't had time to report it just now! The intelligence is about this Achai Tuo, all the bandits in the vicinity of Qingyan Village have been cleaned up by this person for a day, and the number of his subordinates is definitely not as many as 10,000 as a few bandits outside, but it must also exceed 4,000 people. At that time, I judged from the intelligence that Achaito's next target was probably us. But when I received the information, it was estimated that it would take seven or eight days for Achai to come to the idea of Qingyan Village, and I didn't expect that so soon, Achaito's people would appear today! ”
Su Wenzhen said the actual situation, as a traverser, Hu Zhen knew the importance of intelligence, and it took great efforts to establish a prototype of an intelligence work system.
The intelligence work system has only just been established and put into operation, and the Chinese people in Borneo have been hit hard by the Dutch, and their power is not as strong as before, so there are not many ways to obtain information by relying on the intelligence network established by the Chinese people, and the means of transmission are very primitive, the speed is not satisfactory, and it is inevitable that the intelligence will lag behind.
"Good! It's not too late for this information! Since you're here, leave some souvenirs for them! Snipers empty their guns too much, and many people have red eyes that they consume too many bullets, and it's time to give an internship. Keep all the horses, kill the four, and leave one to report the news! Do it! ”
Looking at the five bandits who were still shouting outside the wall, Hu Zhen thought for a while, and felt that this was a good opportunity to train with battle, although the soldiers inside the wall, although they could not complete the training plan on time, but through a face-to-face real battle with bayonets, they would grow up faster, so they decisively issued the order to fight.
The snipers fired together, and in less than a few seconds, five horses were cleanly hit and fell to the ground.
But shooting at the four bandits was not so smooth, although these snipers were selected with a very high shooting talent, and when they usually shoot at a stationary target, they almost hit every 100 shots, and now they are shooting at a big living person who is jumping around, although they know that this is a vicious bandit, they still can't help but be a little nervous, so their hearts beat faster, and their fingers tremble, causing the bullet to be either left or right when it is discharged, and even if it hits, it does not hit the vital point, and it is difficult to kill with one shot.
The bandits, who were not killed, immediately fired back indiscriminately, and the sound of gunfire from both sides resounded through the valley.
Seeing this, the sniper had to reload his bullets in a panic and shoot again, resulting in even worse shooting results.
After a while, a group of snipers used dozens of bullets to kill the four bandits, seeing this situation, Hu Zhen sighed slightly, it seems that he has not been tempered in actual combat, no matter how much training he has.
The last bandit left was one of Hu Zhen's circles, and he was the shortest one.
The bandit's horses were killed by bullets, and they were crushed to the ground by the dead horses, and when they saw that all their companions had been killed, they were so frightened that they desperately pushed away the dead horses and got up and ran.
Looking at the fleeing bandit, Hu Zhen felt that his speed was too fast, and he should be asked to slow down so as to gain more time to prepare for battle, so he took a sniper rifle and said, "Don't run too fast, go slowly!" While pushing the bomb to load, aiming, shooting.
A bullet was fired at high velocity at the bandit, passing through his thigh.
Sure enough, the bandit stretched out a hand to cover his thigh, limping deep and shallow, and his speed was greatly reduced. Shooting at a target in motion, both hitting and not incapacitating, is much more difficult than killing the target with a crisp and straight shot.
Hu Zhen has been desperately training sniper rifle shooting skills since the second day of crossing, which requires actual combat training and good psychological quality in addition to shooting talent and necessary special training. Now, after several actual battles, Hu Zhen now wants to snipe an active target, which is as simple as eating lettuce.
A group of snipers were impressed by Hu Zhen.
Seeing that the bandit slowly disappeared from view, Hu Zhen immediately issued an order, asking all the personnel to build trenches and communication ditches and other defensive positions on the hill opposite Qingyan Village.
Hu Zhen deliberately wanted to give these soldiers who did not have much actual combat experience more exercise, and ordered that the position on the hill should be built before dawn tomorrow anyway.
However, due to the fact that there were only a small number of iron tools such as pickaxes, hoes, shovels, etc., most of the people used primitive tools such as bamboo chips and wooden drills to dig soil and pry stones, and carried them on their shoulders.
After constructing the position, Hu Zhen not only arranged the necessary sentries to guard the position, but also asked all the personnel to rest on the spot after eating and drinking, and waiting for the order to enter the position.
Although Hu Zhen strictly ordered that they must have a good rest to recuperate, many recruits who had little actual combat experience were busy for a day and a night, and when they heard that the battle was about to take place, they didn't know whether they were nervous or excited, and most of them couldn't sleep with their eyes wide open.
Hu Zhen looked very calm, leaned against a tree and sat down, made a large leaf to cover his eyes, and let out a soft snoring sound after a few minutes.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief was so calm, the recruits seemed to have a backbone in their hearts, and many of them imitated Hu Zhen's appearance, either lying or sitting on the ground to rest, raising their energy to prepare for the big battle.
