Chapter 005: Showing Strength
In the eyes of those military and political leaders in Luzhou, the so-called Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in Fushun Town was just a matter of gathering the number of people, otherwise he would not have directly issued an order to reorganize, and Lu Yongqiang would not even want to spend some money on the bribes.
Similarly, in the heart of Lu Feng, who was very proud, he incorporated Wang Haoshan's appearance troops, which was an opportunity for their Lu family to give Wang Haoshan alms.
Wang Haoshan was a little impatient with Lu Feng's arrogant demeanor, and said casually: "Okay, you go back and tell your father, if you have time, I will go to Luzhou to visit him." ”
"So, did Wang Shibo agree to accept the reorganization of the Salt Patrol Battalion?" Lu Feng smiled smugly, not hearing the obvious perfunctory in Wang Haoshan's words at all.
Wang Haoshan's face sank, and he was about to go crazy, but Wang Mo preemptively interjected: "In this case, Brother Lu might as well return to Lu Shibo, our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army will definitely live up to Lu Shibo's expectations and show the strongest strength!" ”
Lu Feng nodded with satisfaction, with a look of acquaintance.
After sending Lu Feng away, Wang Haoshan asked with some dissatisfaction: "Mo'er, why did you say that just now, is it possible that you really think that you should accept Lu Yongqiang's co-optation?" If it weren't for the fact that Wang Mo's performance was quite good these days, he would have reprimanded him on the spot.
"Co-optation?" Wang Mo smiled coldly, "What kind of bullshit salt patrol battalion is also worthy of taking us in?" However, it is good for us to perfunctory them for the time being, father, have you forgotten that the target of our troops this time is the battalion of salt patrol troops stationed in the artesian well? Perfunctory them so that they are not easily wary and defensive of us. ”
"Okay, that way, we'll be able to catch them off guard." Wang Haoshan was immediately amazed, full of appreciation, "It seems that Mo'er has learned a lot of things at the Baoding Military Academy, how about it, do you want to go down to the army to lead the troops?" Now hone and hone well, and in the future, the entire army will be handed over to you after all. ”
Wang Mo shook his head: "Let's talk about it after the battle of the artesian well, I want to form a special operations team of dozens of people, training and equipment are quite troublesome, and now is not the time." ”
"Special operations brigade?" Wang Haoshan was a little unsure, but he still said cheerfully, "Okay, when you take the artesian well, you have no problem forming a special operations team and asking for money or people!" ”
At noon on the same day, Wang Haoshan worked out a specific plan for sending troops with a group of confidant officers, and then issued an order to the troops to be drawn out without stopping.
When the order to send troops was issued, the war machine of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army burst into action, boxes of ammunition were loaded onto mules and wagons, and groups of soldiers were ready to go.
The specific time of the dispatch was set three hours before dawn, so that the march would not be exposed at night, and it would be almost dawn when they arrived in the artesian well area. The dawn of dawn is conducive to launching a surprise attack, and it is also conducive to the operation of those recruits of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.
The artesian well area is divided into gongjing and liujing according to the brine water resources, which is an important salt-producing area in Yongning Province and an important source of fiscal revenue. Because of the attention of the previous local governments, as well as the hundreds of people and horses stationed in the salt patrol battalion all the year round, it has been peaceful here for many years, and neither bandits nor heroes dare to make trouble here.
Under the cover of night, a thousand-strong army quietly touched the artesian well area, occasionally encountering a few patrolling salts, all of which were taken down silently by the elite veterans of the troops.
Wang Mo followed the smear operation of the large army, and was also very satisfied with the performance of ninety percent of the recruits at the moment, fortunately, his father accepted his suggestion to train at night many times, otherwise those recruits would have to mess up at this time.
The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army had a clear goal, neither Gongjing nor Liujing, but went straight to the station of the Yanwu Patrol Battalion.
Along the way, there was finally no danger, and the troops of more than 1,000 people successfully touched the periphery of the garrison of the salt patrol battalion, and hibernated under the cover of the bushes.
"Hao Gang, you take a team of old brothers to solve the sentry at the gate and the patrol in the barracks." Wang Haoshan ordered that the first battalion had the most veterans, and it was the strongest battalion in his hand, so he naturally hoped that the first battalion would be the vanguard.
"Yes!" After Hao Gang saluted and received the order, he led a team of ten veterans to the camp of the salt patrol battalion, his movements were agile and sharp, and he was worthy of being the elite veterans for many years.
Dawn was approaching, the sky was a little bright, and Wang Mo could vaguely see the situation at the gate of the salt patrol camp. The two soldiers of the Salt Patrol Battalion who were in charge of the guard at the gate had already dozed off against the camp wall, and the veterans brought by Hao Gang were obviously experienced, and they were dealt with very smoothly and quietly.
Dragging the bodies of the two sentries to the corners on either side, Hao Gang led the veterans to open the camp gate lightly, and then rushed in. What happened after that, because the distance was too far, Wang Mo couldn't see it.
If the patrol soldiers are successfully dealt with, Hao Gang will give the signal to attack. However, about five minutes later, a sudden gunshot broke the silence of the night.
Don't think about it, obviously Hao Gang and others were exposed.
"Ge Laozi!" Wang Haoshan scolded loudly, and immediately ordered: "The first and second battalions will follow me, and the third battalion will serve as a reserve outside the camp gate." Kill one and reward two oceans, all of which are his nnD and Lao Tzu! ”
Using silver bounties to motivate soldiers to charge is old-fashioned, but it is indeed a magic weapon for the army in the old era to exert its combat effectiveness. As soon as they heard that there were two oceans in the killing of one, they immediately became excited, which was equivalent to a month's salary for them. With the encouragement of the silver reward and the command and leadership of the veterans, the two battalions quickly poured into the camp of the salt patrol battalion, and then the gunfire like "bang, bang, bang" fried beans continued to sound.
Such a simple sneak attack can fail, Wang Mo is a little speechless, if he has a special combat team of even five people on hand now, he can ensure that all the sentry posts and patrols are knocked out silently and control the command headquarters, and then the large army can easily block the officers and soldiers of the entire salt patrol battalion in the barracks, and capture the officers and soldiers of the salt patrol battalion who have not woken up.
It seems that it is still necessary to set up a special operations brigade as soon as possible, and with a sharp knife unit in hand that far exceeds that of this era, it is easy to clean up the turtle warlords of this era.
"Da-da-da-da" The continuous and coherent sound of machine gun gunfire rang out.
Wang Mo suddenly screamed badly, and hurriedly carried the Mauser 98K sniper rifle purchased from the industrial mother machine, and rushed into the camp.
Not far from rushing into the camp, Wang Mo saw that behind the sandbag bunker in front, two machine guns violently spewed tongues of fire, harvesting the soldiers of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in patches.
"Knock out the machine gun, whoever knocks out the machine gun, Lao Tzu will reward 100 oceans!" Wang Haoshan felt sorry for the losses of the troops, shouted with red eyes, and offered a large reward.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the heavy reward of 100 oceans still made many soldiers muster up the courage to shoot and try to knock out the two machine guns. However, as soon as someone came forward, the two machine guns immediately swept over with a string of bullets, instantly beating the rising soldiers into a sieve.
If this delay continues, the salt patrol battalion will be completely organized, and the difficulty of taking them down will inevitably multiply, and this operation will fail completely.
Wang Mo did not hesitate, climbed the roof of a barracks with his hands and feet like a sensitive monkey, and took off the Mauser 98K sniper rifle he was carrying behind him.
"Click!"
Pull the bolt, load the bullet, and aim in a lying position.
Calculate the target distance, wind speed, and air humidity in your mind, and correct the aim.
Pull the trigger!
Bang -
The bullet detached from the chamber and accurately hit the machine gunner, who was only half of his head exposed behind the sandbag bunker, and the machine gunner fell down without even screaming, and one of the machine guns suddenly fell silent.
Wang Haoshan suddenly jumped up with joy: "Well done, that's it, kill a turtle son!" ”
Compared with the first shot, Wang Mo's second shot was much faster, and he pulled the trigger with only a slight adjustment, and the other machine gun immediately fired dumb.
There were apparently officers on the opposite side who were also in formation, and after a burst of shouting, the machine gunners came up again, and the two machine guns continued to fire.
Wang Mo was ruthless, the other party made up a machine gunner, and he killed one, without even using tactical transfers. The opponent only thinks that there are sharpshooters in the enemy team, and has no idea of dealing with snipers at all.
The machine gunners were killed one after another, and none of the soldiers of the Salt Patrol Battalion dared to step forward to take the machine guns and open fire, and the two machine guns were completely silent.
Wang Mo's magical marksmanship greatly boosted the morale of the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan, and they opened fire one after another to attack forward. The number of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was already large, and the preparation of the patrol battalion was insufficient, and it was able to rely on two machine guns to stabilize its position before, which made the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army rush suddenly, and the defense line suddenly collapsed.
After the temporary defensive line of the Yanwu Patrol Battalion collapsed, hundreds of officers and men were immediately disorganized, and the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army scattered and captured them like ducks. The fresh force of the 3rd Battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army then also entered the battle, collecting weapons and guarding prisoners, and in less than an hour, the battle was completely resolved.
After the salt patrol battalion was eliminated, there would be no military strength in the entire artesian well area that could compete with the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. There were still dozens of salts in Gongjing and Liujing, but in the face of the powerful Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, they did not dare to resist at all.
After the morning sun rose, the residents of Gongjing and Liujing found that the soldiers patrolling the streets were very unfamiliar, and they thought of the gunfire at the patrol camp at dawn, and they couldn't help but panic in their hearts, and they closed their doors one after another, for fear of being rushed into their homes and looted by those big-headed soldiers.
It's not just ordinary residents who are worried, it's the salt merchants, big and small, who are really anxious and panicked. It is clear that the artesian area has been taken over by a new military force, and the salt industry in Gongjing and Liujing will inevitably come to a temporary standstill, and the interests of salt merchants and salt merchants will inevitably suffer.
The news that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army brazenly dispatched troops to artesian wells and annihilated hundreds of soldiers and horses of the Yanwu Patrol Battalion stationed in artesian wells was transmitted back to Luzhou, which immediately shocked the military and political leaders in Luzhou.
No one thought that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, which was nothing more than a spectacle in their eyes, would be able to completely annihilate the well-equipped first battalion of soldiers and horses of the salt patrol battalion.
Among them, Lu Yongqiang, the commander of the salt patrol battalion, was the most shocked, and he was simply unbelievable, and after repeatedly confirming the news, he was furious and smashed several teacups at home that he usually couldn't put down.
