Chapter 28: Reconnaissance (5)
The terrain outside the town is still too flat, and if there is no embankment of the Lian Qi River, this place is not suitable for ambush at all.
At this time, Xiao Linghu wanted to fight an ambush, but he was also a little powerless, and the distance of three hundred meters from the river embankment to the edge of the town was a little far. If you can push forward another hundred meters, that's a perfect distance.
Nowadays, it is obviously too late to dig a pit in the vegetable field to preset the position, so it can only be adapted to local conditions and local materials.
First of all, you have to consider where to mount the light machine gun.
Xiao Linghu's gaze retreated a hundred meters from the river embankment, there was a firewood stack, people here are used to burning cotton stalks, the firewood stacks are actually stacked with cotton stalks, more than two meters high, covered with straw, in case of rain.
When he saw those firewood, Xiao Linghu immediately came up with an idea and ordered Zhou Laoliu, who came over with a light machine gun: "Sixth, you go to the ditch in front and use firewood to build a bunker!" ”
Zhou Laoliu was stunned for a moment, looked at the terrain in front of him, the ridge that Xiao Linghu said was a shallow ditch dug between two vegetable fields, if a person was lying down in it, he should be able to hide his body, but he used Chai He as a cover, but it was a little casual!
"How can Chai He be a cover?" Zhou Lao Liu hesitated.
"There's no time, so let's make up for it if you can!" Xiao Linghu said.
"Okay!" Zhou Lao Liu had no choice but to agree, and quickly ran towards the vegetable field with a light machine gun.
"Old Yan!" Xiao Linghu called Yizhimei again: "You go to be the deputy of the sixth child!" As he spoke, he took the backpack that had been carried by him from Lin Jinghan's shoulder, and handed the box to Yizhimei. It was a wooden case, wrapped in canvas on the outside and carried on one's shoulder like a bamboo basket, with accessories such as bullets and barrels for machine guns inside.
Yizhimei wanted to lift the box with one hand, but she didn't lift it the first time, and couldn't help but scream: "Ouch, why is it so heavy?" ”
Lin Jinghan glanced at him and said, "It's not heavy, that is, more than eighty pounds, I've been carrying it for a long time today!" ”
Hearing Lin Jinghan say this, Yizhimei is not good to complain again.
Among these people, except for the young recruit Yang Gensheng, he is the only one who is the most useless, although he can also shoot, but most of the time he is wasting bullets. Now Xiao Linghu asked him to be Zhou Laoliu's deputy, just because when he was resting, he had asked Zhou Laoliu about the use of light machine guns, and Zhou Laoliu really taught him, so he knew how to operate a little simple, but he didn't really go to the battlefield at all.
When Yizhimei wanted to say something, Xiao Linghu was already arranging for others.
"Shunzi, you go and hide behind the firewood stack, your task is to protect Zhou Laoliu, don't let him be hit by the devil!" Xiao Linghu ordered.
"Yes!" Zhang Shun had always answered Xiao Linghu's orders so happily, and ran towards Chai Heduan.
The reason why Xiao Linghu arranged this way was because he also knew that if his machine gun sounded, then the machine gunner would definitely become the first target of the devil's shooting, and he was not afraid of anything else, after all, there was a cover to cover it, and the most afraid was that the devil would use mortars, grenadiers or grenades and the like, the devil squad did not have mortars, and that distance could not be reached by throwing grenades or grenades, so the grenadier was the biggest threat, Xiao Linghu wanted Zhang Shun to pay attention to the pitchers of those devils. As for Zhang Shun, who had already participated in several battles, he didn't need Xiao Linghu to explain more, he knew what his task was.
Xiao Linghu looked at Sha Wenhua again: "Brother Hua, you can find a place by yourself, the devil's machine gunner and their military cao will be handed over to you!" ”
"Good!" Sha Wenhua nodded, unhurriedly carrying his gun to find a target to cover up, he looked back at the tall willow tree, and said, "I'm right behind this tree!" ”
Xiao Linghu was stunned, from here to the edge of the town, but at a distance of three hundred meters, there was only a king of killers like Sha Wenhua, who dared to shoot at this distance.
He didn't say anything more, and greeted Lin Jinghan: "Brother Han, the two of us still have the old rules, as soon as the machine gun starts, we will go around to the side of the devil together, and the fire cannot be interrupted!" ”
"Understood!" Lin shuddered and nodded.
Yang Gensheng hurriedly asked, "What about me?" ”
Xiao Linghu smiled and said, "Your task is also very important, as soon as the fight starts here, you will run to the east of the town to meet those who have withdrawn, and take them to retreat south from the river embankment, don't let them go east or north!" ”
"Okay!" Yang Gensheng happily agreed, and quickly moved to the east entrance of the town, where there were also a few willow trees that could temporarily cover his figure.
"Watch out for bullets!" Lin Jinghan didn't forget to add a word of advice behind him. He understood Xiao Linghu's intention to arrange this, in fact, after the fight really started, those devils had no chance to intercept the ** that ran out of the town, and Yang Gensheng's task was originally dispensable, and those ** were not stupid, the river to the east could not run over, and the north was to hit the devils, so they could only come to the south.
Zhou Lao Liu and Yi Zhimei quickly moved down two bundles of cotton poles from a firewood stack, and they were afraid that they would not be able to block the bullets, Yi Zhimei moved twice, and held a total of eight large bundles and put them in a simple machine gun position for himself and Zhou Lao Liu, when Yi Zhimei was about to hug the third time, he heard Xiao Linghu's low warning voice: "It's coming!" He was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the pile of firewood.
Sure enough, a group of devil soldiers came around from the south of the town, and all of them silently counted the number of people who ran out, a total of thirteen people, and the vanguard in front was a short guy, but he looked very clever.
The vanguard casually glanced in the direction of the vegetable patch, perhaps sensing that something was not quite right, so he couldn't help but slow down.
Actually, this vanguard didn't see anything, he just felt that there were a few more piles of messy firewood in the originally flat vegetable field, and it was a little strange that they were not neatly stacked with the firewood.
But at this time, the ** troops who ran out of the town also arrived at the east entrance, and a ** soldier who ran in front saw the devils who came by, and hurriedly shouted, retreating to the wall, and the people behind stopped one after another, and the gun rang out quickly, and it was not Xiao Linghu who fired the first shot, but the vanguard of the devil.
On such occasions, whoever strikes first when the two armies meet will have a great advantage.
Xiao Linghu, who was hiding behind the firewood pile, had to admire the agility of the vanguard of the devil, and then take a look at the vanguard of **, although he was the first enemy to be discovered, his reaction was to hide, rather than attack first.
This may be the difference in the quality of the soldiers on both sides!
