Chapter 105: Ambush
"Leader Ludong Gampo, you are too careful, our battalion commander has already opened the way for us in front, if there is any danger, he will send someone back to inform us a long time ago."
For Lu Dong Ganbu's carefulness, Lieutenant William couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, but he comforted with an indifferent look on his mouth.
"Oh! That's true, I was overcareful. I don't know if Chief Horay has chased down that group of rebels? ”
Seeing Lieutenant William like this, although Lu Dong Ganbu was still a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more.
"I think I'm almost catching up! With the speed of those brothers in front, maybe they have already exchanged fire with the rebels at this moment! ”
Lieutenant William seemed to answer Ludong Ganbu very casually, and then turned his head and frowned, looking at the pack horse behind him transporting supplies.
"Damn it! With such a thick layer of snow, the speed of pack horses is too slow. By the time they caught up with the battalion commander, it was estimated that the rebels had already been slaughtered. ”
Lieutenant William pretended to be disappointed and muttered a grumbling.
The speaker was "unintentional", the listener had a heart, and Lieutenant William's words made Ludong Ganbu on the side feel a sigh in his heart.
The reason why he gathered so many people and braved the cold to burrow into this ravine where birds don't was to personally cut off the heads of those revolutionary soldiers and avenge his brother. But if, as Lieutenant William said, at this speed, when they catch up, it is estimated that everyone has been killed, and what revenge can he have.
"That...... Sir William, do you think so? My men and I are fast, or let's go ahead and see if we can catch up and help Chief Horay. ”
Thinking of this, Lu Dong Ganbu, who was anxious in his heart, couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Lieutenant William tentatively.
"This ...... Well, although you can't help much if you go up, the lieutenant colonel has an explanation when he leaves, and the actions of your team are free to you. ”
Hearing Ludong Gampo's request, Lieutenant William was overjoyed and was worried about how to implement his plan, when Ludong Gampo took the bait, Lieutenant William pretended to think about it for a while, and then agreed not very "reluctantly".
"Thank you, Sir William, then I'll go first."
Ludong Ganbu knew the secret joy in William's heart, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Lieutenant William, and began to shout loudly to his subordinates to speed up.
In the march of one side deliberately delaying and the other side speeding up, the two teams quickly opened up a considerable distance, and at this time, the Ludong Gampo Department had slowly walked into a valley with hillsides on both sides.
"It's coming! Be prepared, hide it all for me, don't expose it. ”
"Lieutenant Terry, when all the enemy is in the valley, we'll get moving."
In the valley, who was marching with difficulty but anxiety, how did the Ludong Gampo know that on the slope above them, in a trench made of ice and snow, the soldiers of the Iron Wolf Pioneer Battalion wearing white cloaks were quietly crawling at this moment.
And they didn't expect that at both ends of this valley, there were several death scythes ready to harvest life, quietly waiting for them to enter the net.
"Bang!"
After all the more than 800 people entered the ambush circle, with the sound of a gunshot from the Miller rifle in Lieutenant Colonel Hooley's hand, the silent valley immediately resounded like fried beans.
"Dada-da..."
And just as the enemies were fleeing from the sudden rifle volley, a steady stream of strange gunfire rang out in front of the valley.
The bullets rubbing the air kept flying into the ranks, and many of Ludong Gampo's subordinates were shot before they even found out where the enemy was.
Although some of the people who reacted quickly quickly lay down and unloaded their rifles to return fire, it was only a waste of bullets, because the entire hillside was filled with gunsmoke, especially the reflection of the noon sun on the snow, so that they could not see the specific location of the enemy at all.
"Chirp... Chirp... Tweet ......"
The 7.9 mm bullets of the Miller rifle and the 7.92 mm machine gun bullets of the MG08 heavy machine gun crossed a distance of several hundred meters one by one, passing past these people.
"Poof... Puff... Puff... Puff..."
The sound of bullets piercing through the body or crashing into the snow echoed in my ears.
"Ahh
"Oops!"
There was a scream or a muffled grunt, the desperate sound of a companion's body after being hit by a bullet.
The white valley was soon stained dark red with scarlet blood splattering everywhere, and fewer and fewer people were running around, while more and more corpses with severed limbs and severed arms on the ground increased.
The tragic situation in front of him, Lu Dong Ganbu, who had never experienced war, was dumbfounded all of a sudden, if it weren't for those loyal subordinates who surrounded him at this time and blocked bullets from all directions for him, it is estimated that he would have become a pile of rotten meat like those corpses on the ground.
"Lord Chief, we have been ambushed, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, the brothers can't withstand it at all, let's withdraw quickly!"
It was the captain of the personal guard of Ludong Gampo who spoke, the captain of the personal guard who had participated in the imperial cavalry, and knew very well that there was only a dead end to stay here, so he hurriedly pulled the ashen face of Ludong Gampo in the direction where he was coming.
"Run... Come on... Run..."
Seeing that their leader had fled, those who had not yet been hit dared to fight, and they all fled in the direction they had been fought.
"Chirp... Chirp tweet... Tweet tweet..."
The bullets fired from both sides were like whips to drive away the flock, constantly squeezing these fleeing people.
People push people, people squeeze people, although everyone knows that huddle together can make the enemy concentrate firepower, but no one wants to be a shield on the perimeter.
There is no one to command, and the bad roots of human nature are vividly manifested at this time, and the people who are squeezed outside desperately want to squeeze in, but the people inside don't want people to squeeze in anyway.
The group of people who were desperately trying to flee were scolding, shoving, and crying as they gathered more and more, but they also slowly moved in the direction of Taniguchi.
The bullets behind him never stopped, and the people who were squeezed behind kept howling, and then stumbled and fell, but they still stared at a pair of unwilling and resentful eyes, looking at those partners who used to drink and eat meat with them.
It's a pity that at this time, those partners didn't leave anyone to leave their footsteps, and they didn't even bother to look back, but just ran forward desperately until their backs were mercilessly pierced by bullets.
"Lord Chief, hurry up, we are about to reach the valley mouth, as long as we escape, we will definitely have a chance."
The captain of the personal guard tried his best to pull Ludong Ganbu to escape, because they had thick "human shields" behind them on their left and right, so although the two of them were very embarrassed at the moment, they were both unscathed.
Seeing that he had come to the mouth of the valley, looking at the calm valley mouth without any gunsmoke, a feeling of escaping made the captain of the guard seem to see the hope of life.
