The 188th Palm Advance and Retreat (Text)
The mountain village surrounded by hills soon loomed in sight, and after receiving the report of the patrol guerrilla's reconnaissance again, they began to set up the first attack starting point and gathering point in the open land cleared in advance.
The spear team and the white soldiers naturally formed a protective circle, and the gun team took the weapons and spare parts from the backpacks and began to check the chambers and sub-medicines.
The auxiliaries also began to work on civil engineering and organize their baggage, and the contents of the carts were carried down and sorted and stacked in the camp besieged by vehicles. Then the non-commissioned officer and the flag head blew the trumpet,
The first line of attack began to line up in a simple echelon of white soldiers in front, gunmen in the back, and spearmen in simple echelons on both flanks, slowly advancing with the beat of the drums.
The sentry position above the entrance of the village probed the brain, became the first target to be hit, and then the gate of the rattan at the entrance of the village was opened from the inside.
With the opening of the gate, a large crowd suddenly poured out, standing together in a disorderly manner, making some kind of roar and roar, most of them were vegetable-faced, skinny and ragged, and only the most advanced part of the people had decent weapons.
In the face of the slowly advancing military formation, under the loud reprimand of the leader, a certain fear and panic of the crowd was suppressed, so that no one would immediately turn around and run inside.
I looked through the binoculars and felt a little surprised, when did these rebels, who were not superior in equipment and morale, have the courage to give up the sense of security they have to defend and take the initiative to run out to fight in the field?
After entering the corresponding distance, the auxiliaries who followed behind began to speed up, bypassing the brigade from both sides, and then forming two groups of three horizontal lines, facing the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village, and began to wind up their arrows and carry out the first round of cover.
The first to attack was from the woodland on the side of the mountain village, and suddenly a series of shining swords and spear tips suddenly appeared, and these ambush soldiers were like silent beasts, with the rustle of rubbing against the branches and leaves, and the sound of heavy running footsteps.
"Is this a trap?" ,
I was surprised and shook my head, but it didn't matter. ”
The first to sound the sound of the hammer were the hunters set up on the high place, and they used the sound of guns and small flags to guide the direction of the brigade.
The attacking echelon's already loaded gunners, also under the cover of the spearmen who were crouching and raised, quickly turned around and released the first row of lead rain at the ambush.
As the sound of the firebolt rang out in pieces, as if a strong wind was blowing, these sparse figures were blown to the ground and drowned in the flying dust.
And the bows and arrows in their hands had not yet had time to fire, only some sparse drops were scattered, and the hand-to-hand combat troops who were crouching on the ground were a few steps away. These spearmen didn't even bother with their eyes.
As the rows of gunners finished loading and joined the platoon sequence, the onslaught of the ambushed rebels was blocked within a few steps of the spearmen.
It is the last distance that can be pierced by stretching out a spear, and it becomes an insurmountable barrier for them.
When their corpses quickly piled up on this irregular invisible boundary, the rest of the people finally reached a certain tipping point, and they screamed and scattered in a hurry, trying to flee back into the woods where they were hiding.
But where was there such a cheap thing, and the sound of swords and guns at the edge of the woodland drove them back like panicked sheep.
At this time, I discharged another white soldier who made a detour, and climbed over the low fences and wooden fences along the woods, and went straight into the mountain village, and lit one fire after another.
As a result, the rebels gathered at the entrance of the village quickly collapsed out of control amid the cries behind them.
Just two hours later,
In the burning and collapsing mountain village, only the corpses lying in the streets or intersections are left, looking at the auxiliary soldiers who are leaning up with knives, those who have not yet lost their breath, and even show some kind of relieved expression and expectation.
Outside of the mountain villages, people who are still alive are divided into categories according to their gender and age, as well as their health status.
Prisoners who were worthless or could not be taken away were dragged to the edge of the woods in droves, shot in a row, and then decapitated as proof.
Compared with some of the officers and soldiers who had bad habits and bad traditions, we were quite good, and we would not use the captives for some kind of playful way to kill for fun, nor would we use them as a way for recruits to kill people.
At most, they were sold to other states to work as coolies, and the dead at least had a place to be buried with their whole bodies, although for the sake of health and epidemic prevention.
Then it took me a lot of effort to identify the rebel clan leader who was hiding in it, the younger brother and eldest prince of the Xiang family, and as for the scolding and curses they were dragged out of the crowd, I was already numb enough to be immune.
In the midst of the cries and pleadings, I suddenly raised my head,
The clouds gathering in the sky and the faint rolling thunder heralded the arrival of the tropical monsoon season, which is unique to the peninsula, and the firearms units would be weakened and affected by the excessive rain. This is not good news for us.
Braving the continuous rain, it took two days, holding these harvests, and returned to the main camp in the state city, but heard the call of the Chinese army.
Compared with the officers and soldiers outside who are filled with a certain high-spirited victory, the generals and colonels of the Chinese army have a somewhat gloomy atmosphere, which makes people scratch their heads.
It wasn't until I saw the other people who were found that it was clear that the dozen or so people present were obviously small groups of vested interests who were very powerful and benefited during the period when Gao Favored was in power.
"The imperial court has issued an edict, and a certain family will be transferred to the Anlu Road Placement Envoy ...... in the near future"
A tall pet draped on his body, straight to the point
"Thank you for your long-term support......"
"The successor is you, and you must support it with all your might"
"How can this be good?"
There is a large number of rumors below, and all kinds of lamentations and feelings are overflowing. To tell the truth, although Gao Pet is quite selfish, but the rewards and punishments are clear, and he is very generous.
I also sincerely comforted a few voices, but I knew how much,
In the current situation, the general situation has been decided, and there is only one possibility for the sudden decision to change the main general, which is obviously the need to pick peaches in the DPRK, or rather, there are already people who can't wait to come and accept the fruits of victory.
Having said that, with the full support and assistance of the imperial court, there is really no such thing as an easy thing to take, which is probably the product of the compromise between the elders of the DPRK and China.
There may not be no one behind Gao Pet, but he can't bear the pressure and decision of the DPRK, from the original Danxi Jinglu, he can be transferred to the position of Gao Sheng's foreign envoy, which is estimated to be some kind of compensation and compromise.
After some statement and catharsis, compared to other people who had their own placements and promotions, I went outside and was left behind by another message.
"I can only say sorry......"
Gao Pet's spirit is still good, and there is no loss, but there is some apology
"I promise that I still have some hands left in your business, but I can't fulfill it......"
Then he handed me something.
"This is Tiannan's order to return the order"
"Return?"
I sighed, I still came, otherwise why didn't I come to play earlier, I have been in Tanjung for more than half a year, and the Tiannan Aftermath Aftermath Division seemed to think of me and issued an official document to return it.
It seems that in essence, the main general is gone, and even our troops who have no foundation will have to move out of a suitable position for others.
"Of course, I'll ask the secretary to help you press this official document,"
"During this time, you take the opportunity to pack up the rest of your hands and tails......"
"Whatever you need, just open your mouth......"
"Dignitaries or materials, armaments...... It's all right......"
"Anyway, these won't last long in my hands......."
He said with some self-deprecation
"It's better to be cheaper than you ......"
Obviously, he is not as unresentful as I thought, and can only use such means as guò to leave a foreshadowing for his successor or something
"It's also a little compensation and a little heartfelt ......"
"The merits and gains are also fulfilled to the ......"
"I can't help you with anything in ministry."
"But there are still some ways to trust in your job and honors."
"I've sent out the list of dropouts urgently......"
"Proposed to be transferred to a cavalry lieutenant, and scattered to the guerrilla general......"
"At least until I leave office, the imperial court will not refute it lightly......"
