Chapter 0096 See the Smoke Again
However, what happened this night was not subject to Nie Shicheng's will. The sound of gunfire and cannons www.biquge.info the pen and the fun pavilion continued throughout the night. Either the east side was gunfired, or the west side was shot. The sound of gunfire is not dense and scattered, but it is worrying to listen to it, this night, I can't sleep.
"Damn, it's too much of a bully!" A general who couldn't sleep came to ask Nie Shicheng to attack the attacking bandits, Nie Shicheng thought about it, and also felt that although the threat of this gunfire was not big, it was really annoying, so he agreed to send a small force to fight back, and at the same time strengthened the night guard force.
"Dashuai, no, the force we sent out to fight back was bombed!" After a while, his generals came to report with almost a sad face.
The so-called bomb attack was actually all kinds of tricks and mines arranged by the Mengshan Army. Although the thunder technique taught by Xu Lie is still relatively rough, it seems to be just right for this era, especially on this night, just making a simple tripping thunder, Wu Yijun can't find it at all in the middle of the night.
In fact, every time the Mengshan army attacked and harassed, it was a whole set of tactics that were coordinated. Shooting guns and artillery, with the purpose of deterring, intimidating, disturbing/harassing, and exhausting the enemy, annihilating the enemy is secondary; But if Wu Yijun dares to send troops to pursue, the mines arranged along the way can play a role in destroying the enemy.
Xu Lie's extensive use of mines was not aimed at destroying the enemy, but at exhausting and trapping the enemy, so that Wu Yijun could form an impression that he could not chase after him in the face of the attack of the Mengshan army, and as long as he chased it, he would step on the mines.
At the same time, Xu Lie adopted this tireless attack and harassment method all night, and its purpose was also to exhaust and trap the enemy. Let it be exhausted at night and exhausted by entering the day.
However, is this the ultimate goal of Xu Lie's battle? Obviously, this one doesn't seem to be yet.
The next morning, Dong Fuxiang led the army to the place where Nie Shichengtun was armed. Dong Fuxiang was born in 1840, four years younger than Nie Shicheng, but he was also fifty-eight years old. However, when Dong Fuxiang saw Nie Shicheng with a pair of monkey ass eyes open, he was taken aback: "Dashuai, are you unwell?" ”
"Xingwu, if it's just that you're not feeling well, you'll burn high incense! I'm afraid it's much more difficult to suppress bandits this time than I thought before! Nie Shicheng sighed.
"Dashuai, you and I have fought all our lives, are you still afraid of mountain bandits?" Dong Fuxiang is also a capable fighter, and when he marched into Xinjiang with Zuo Zongtang, he could be regarded as making great contributions to the unification of the Dragon Kingdom.
Perhaps, because of the factors of these two guys, Xu Lie was unable to kill the few guys who were encircled and suppressed this time, except for Yuan Shikai, Nie Shicheng and Dong Fuxiang and their subordinates were all meritorious to Sheji.
"Xingwu, you must not despise this mountain bandit in front of you!" Nie Shicheng then showed Dong Fuxiang the experience of his Wu Yi Army from the annihilation of the forward battalion from last night to today.
Last night, Wu Yijun sent four counterattack squads before and after, each team had about a few hundred people, and they were all death squads. However, whether these squads went out to the sound of gunfire or quietly went out from a quiet place, they were all attacked by bombs, and although the squads that went out were not completely annihilated, each squad suffered several or dozens of casualties, and the four squads lost nearly 100 men before and after.
Let's not talk about the things at night, even if it's the world of mountain bandits at night. When it was dawn, Nie Shicheng decided to teach the Mengyin bandits who had been harassing all night a hard lesson.
He sent three battalion-level troops at once, and attacked in three directions at the same time, in Nie Shicheng's heart, he had to fight the enemy no matter what, and it was best to catch two mountain bandit prisoners. As for whether these three battalion-level troops will encounter mountain bandits, Nie Shicheng also thought about it, in his opinion, it is certain to encounter mountain bandits, but according to last night's experience, the number of these mountain bandits is not too much, and he sent three troops at the same time, and he also has the intention of being caught off guard by the mountain bandits.
From a strategic point of view, Nie Shicheng sent a reconnaissance unit, and the intention was good. In fact, after the three battalion-level troops of the Wu Yi Army left the main camp, they were extremely normal along the road, and they did not encounter resistance from the mountain bandits at all, not to mention resistance, but they did not even have a personal flower.
One of the teams encountered a village less than five miles away from the camp, and the battalion officer who led the team decided to go into the village to have a look, but, not to mention that there were people in the village, that is, there was not even a chicken, including the iron pots, small pieces of furniture, clothes, grain, etc., which were commonly used by the villagers, all of them were gone, if it were not for the footprints of people on the ground, and even the scattered grain particles on the ground, Wu Yijun might have thought that they had entered the "ghost village"!
Just when the battalion commander of this Wuyi army found that there was nothing and was about to evacuate, he suddenly heard a popping sound from the village, and everyone followed the sound and saw a cloud of smoke filling the whole village.
"All attention, enemy attack-" The battalion commander reacted quickly, immediately pulling a few soldiers, jumping into a house, closing the gate, and looking out of the window.
The other soldiers followed suit, quickly seizing positions to defend themselves against the attackers as they burst out of the smoke.
However, instead of rushing out of the smoke, the assailants slowly obscured the soldiers. Needless to say, everyone also knows that this is Xu Lie using R-P gas again.
As a very effective chemical weapon that causes a coma, R-P gas, like all gas-based chemical weapons, is used with a certain degree of attention to the terrain, the best being the kind of cave where Chen Harrier is hidden, and secondly, this kind of village with the shape of a street, and at the same time requiring a state of calm wind.
Street-like villages, which must be entered and exited from both ends of the village; The static air state can make the gas effect more condensed and long-lasting.
Wu Yijun's battalion, naturally, not all of them were captured alive, and its battalion commander also set up some sentry posts outside, but when the large army in the village was ambushed and saw hundreds of Mengshan soldiers wearing peculiar clothing (chemical protection suits), dozens of people in the village outside the village entrance, not to mention that they had the courage to resist, even if they had the courage to stand in place for a few more minutes, those Mengyin giant bandits, all of them were monsters!
Of course, three battalions went out to reconnoitre, and this battalion ended the worst, almost all of them were wiped out without firing a shot; The other two battalions fared better, one of them encountered small bandits and engaged in battles, with the Wu Yi army losing several men; And the luck of the other battalion is a joke, they did not encounter anything while searching forward, and it can be said that the journey was safe, but on the way back, they stepped on a bomb, killing and wounding more than two dozen people.
