Chapter 529: Surprise Attack

watched Cui Changqing retreat from the black cave, and put the hanging heart of Captain Dong Hao, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, into his stomach.

"Changqing, what's going on inside? Why hasn't the chief of staff come out yet? Squadron Leader Dong Hao looked at Cui Changqing and asked anxiously.

"I will come out first to report your safety, so that you will not be anxious. The chief of staff and the two of them were inside to observe again. ”

"You came out in time, I'll rush in if it's too late." Hearing Changqing say this, Dong Hao let out a long breath and said.

Sure enough, Cui Changqing came out for half an hour, and Li Xiong and the three of them also retreated.

Out of the cave, several people sat around a large rock, eating dry food while studying the way to attack the mountain.

"Chief of Staff, I'll see what you say. There were two stones blocking the entrance of the cave, and I touched them, and I pondered that under these two big stones, on the left and right sides, three or four grenades would definitely blow it up. Liu Shusheng said.

"You have a point. What do you two think? After listening to Liu Shusheng's words, Li Xiong didn't say yes or no, just said that it was reasonable, and then turned his head to look at Cui Changqing and the company commander who entered the cave with him.

"I agree with what the regiment commander said, those two stones are the kind of stalactites, not as hard as the big bluestone, and they are easy to fry." The company commander under Liu Shusheng said.

"I also agree with Captain Liu's words. I also had the idea of sending a few men to climb to the top of the hill with some grenades, preferably two machine guns hoisted from the top of the hill with a rope. When blowing up the entrance of the cave, fight up and down together, so that the people below can't tell the explosion that is the explosion, so that even if the entrance of the cave is not blown up for the first time, there is cover on the top of the mountain, we can still come back. Cui Changqing added.

"Well, Cui Changqing is right, it's safer this way. Is it just that you can climb to the top of such a steep mountain? When Liu Shusheng heard this, he immediately praised happily.

"The brigade is definitely not good, but it is not a problem to go up ten or eight people. The person climbs up first, and the thing pulls up later. Cui Changqing replied.

"Okay, don't look into it anymore, since everyone agrees to do this, let's do it tonight. It's two o'clock in the afternoon, so Liu Shusheng, you are responsible for attacking from this cave, giving you a company, and the remaining three companies, I will take them to ambush in front, as long as you start here, we will attack up the mountain in front of you. Cui Changqing follows you, let's attack twice, align the time, start attacking the mountain at three o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and end the battle before dawn, how about it? Li Xiong looked at a few people and said seriously.

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, promise to complete the mission!" Several people said almost at the same time.

"Shusheng, Changqing, and you, the three of you will stay here, and the others will go back with me."

"Chief of Staff, I'll go back with you, and then bring the team up. No one took me with me, and I was afraid of taking a detour. Cui Changqing said.

Hearing Cui Changqing say this, Li Xiong thought for a while: "Okay, Shusheng, you two will sleep in the cave first." We'll start on time at three o'clock tomorrow morning. After Li Xiong finished speaking, he led the people to the ambush point.

It didn't look far away, but after all, it was up and down the mountain, and it wasn't until more than six o'clock in the evening that Cui Changqing returned to the cave with a company of volunteers. Liu Shusheng only slept for two hours, and he didn't dare to be careless. After waking up, with the company commander under his command, the two of them reconnoitred the back mountain again.

Behind Shihu Mountain, it is really like what Cui Changqing said, in addition to the bottomless mountain stream, it is a steep peak, if you want to come to the mouth of this cave, you can only pass through the woods directly opposite the cave entrance.

As soon as the team came over, Liu Shusheng lined up in a squad, under the command of Cui Changqing, and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Thirteen people (Cui Changqing is counted), more than two hours, fell and injured three team members, ten people went up, two machine guns, more than 50 grenades, eight "big eight grains", and it took a lot of effort to finally pull and pull these things up with ropes.

Cui Changqing scattered the ten people, forming a semi-circular position on the top of the mountain, two machine guns on the left and the right to guard both sides, the position did not need to be repaired, there were natural big stones as cover, even if the shells hit them, they could not be injured.

Everything was ready, and I glanced at my pocket watch, it was exactly eleven o'clock, and there were still four hours before the time to attack.

"Brothers, go to bed now, I'll keep a sentry and wake you up at three o'clock."

"Brother Changqing, you sleep, we don't have to be sleepy, when you were scouting, we slept for seven or eight hours, you ran back and forth a few times, you are tired enough, I will call you when the time comes, rest assured." The squad leader who came up with him said with concern.

"Okay, then I'll sleep first, and call me at half past two." After Cui Changqing finished speaking, his body leaned against the stone, his coat was wrapped tightly, and he fell asleep in less than a minute.

I don't know how long I slept, Cui Changqing only felt that his eyes lit up, like a dazzling light flashing after a grenade exploded, he opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and got up from the stone, stretched out his right hand, grabbed his big eight grains, and with a "bang", the bullet went to the hall.

"Brother Evergreen, you ...... What are you doing here? Fast....... Get down on your stomach, and don't let the sentry below find out. The squad leader was quick with his hands, grabbed Cui Changqing's gun, and whispered.

The squad leader was lying next to Cui Changqing, staring at the sentries walking back and forth with a big gun under a few torches below, Cui Changqing's sudden action really startled him, but fortunately, the squad leader reacted quickly and held the gun down, so there was no big movement.

"What's the situation? Isn't it a fight? Cui Changqing looked at the little squad leader in a daze and said.

"It's not going to start, it's only two o'clock, and there's still an hour, hehe, you're dazed. Don't worry, we're staring down there with wide eyes. As soon as the squad leader saw it, he knew that Cui Changqing was too nervous, and he didn't sleep honestly.

"I'm stunned? TMD, it's so much of a big deal, I thought I overslept. Okay, it's okay, you guys squint for a while, I'll call you in advance when the time comes. Cui Changqing wiped his face twice and said after making himself fully sober.

"You can rest assured that you can sleep for a while, we are not sleepy, and we will sleep together after this battle." One of the team members whispered.

"I've slept too, then let's not sleep, when it's cold, you can move your legs and feet, don't freeze." Nothing is going on below, is there? ”

"There is no situation, everything is normal, these people below have gone to sleep in the house, and there are only two standing guard outside. By the way, the front of the hill seems to be guarded by people, and five people go down every two hours to change the guard. The squad leader said to Cui Changqing.

"Well, you observed very carefully, yes, at the main gate at the bottom of the mountain, there was a sentry, and when we were on the mountain, there were three people guarding there, alas, if I hadn't been too careless, I wouldn't have fallen for the bandits. It seems that these bandits have learned my lesson, and the number of guards at the mountain gate has increased by two, and they have been changed every two hours. Be careful. Cui Changqing said with remorse.

"Brother Changqing, when you were on the mountain, how long did you change the guard?"

"When I was in the mountains, there were three people in one post, and I changed them every six hours. Three people slept in turns, and one stood for two hours. Alas, if I had done this like a bandit, I wouldn't have done such a big thing and lost Shihu Mountain. Cui Changqing said guiltily.

"Don't regret it, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, Brother Changqing, you don't have to blame yourself too much, as soon as the morning dawns, this Shihu Mountain is still ours."

"You're right, God is not thin on our brothers, if it weren't for the chief of staff...... Maybe our brothers don't even have a place to stand now. Cui Changqing said with emotion.

I couldn't sleep anyway, and a few of them were lying behind the rocks, talking softly while observing the situation below.

"Brothers, it's three o'clock in ten minutes, cheer up, five grenades each, open the back cover for me, and take the sound of my gun as a signal, and as soon as my gun goes off, you will drop the grenade, do you understand? Do you see the two machine gun positions under the two torches, this first wave of grenades, you are going to kill these two fire points, you all remember your respective tasks clearly, and find your own target. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, Brother Evergreen, we're all ready."

As soon as he heard the sound of the team's promise, Cui Changqing didn't say anything, just subconsciously looked at the time, there was still a minute to three o'clock, he let out a sigh of relief, and gently picked up his "big eight", the barrel of the gun was loaded on the rock, "bang", the bullet came to the hall, and instantly held this breath, the right half of his face was attached to the butt of the gun, his eyes narrowed slightly, three points and one line, and the final point happened to be a sentry in front of him who was carrying a spear under a torch, and he was weak and walking back and forth.

"Pop ......" two crisp gunshots instantly pierced the silent night sky. The gunfire came too suddenly, and before the two sentries with spears could understand what was going on, they felt their heads shake and "poof", and they fell to the ground, whimpering for their lives.

Before participating in the "Zhenbei Army", Cui Changqing was definitely a good hunter in the village, so his marksmanship was comparable to that of Mengzi, almost a distance of nearly a thousand meters, and the two people's heads bloomed instantly.

This is the capital, without these two hits, how could the hundred or so brothers under his command willingly listen to his command?

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Cui Changqing shouted: "Brothers, hit me, beat me hard, and avenge the more than 100 brothers who died of me!" Then as soon as he put the gun down, as soon as he stretched out his right hand, he picked up a grenade, and with a sharp slash, he heard a "yo" sound, and a line of fire smashed down to a machine gun position below.

At three o'clock in the second half of the night, when it was the most affordable time to sleep, these bandits on Shihu Mountain would never have dreamed that someone would suddenly attack from the cliff of their back mountain.
