Chapter 59: Against the Main Battalion
Soon, a high ground marked on the map came into Yang Xingguo's field of vision. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This highland is not impartial or unfortunate, and it happens to be on the official road that Lao Maozi must pass through.
"This is it......" Yang Xingguo said decisively after slamming his clenched fist on the map.
Then, ignoring the incomprehensible gazes of his subordinates, he directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Pass my order, the guard platoon will stay to guard the mine and seize the ...... The others, immediately start to rest and replenish their strength, and in three hours we will set off and go to this position to eliminate Lao Maozi's reinforcements......"
"Also, this battle feels that it is impossible to end in a short time, and when you leave, don't forget to bring ten boxes of 20,000 rounds of ammunition from the capture, just in case you need ...... emergency"
In Anshan County, the traitor who escaped from the mine was telling the best commander of the Lao Maozi garrison in Anshan County, a lieutenant colonel battalion commander, with a face full of panic and fear.
For Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi, the mine was attacked, and it must be taken back.
It's just that how to recapture the mine in the case of insufficient troops is a problem that Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi needs to think about.
There is no doubt that the bandits attacking the mine could not have occupied the mine all the time. According to the usual style of the bandits, they must have grabbed the mine and retreated.
And if you want to recapture the mine at the lowest cost, after the bandits retreat, it is undoubtedly the best fighter.
However, when he heard that the commander of the original mine garrison company had accumulated more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver in the mine, Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi's face, which was still calm just now, immediately became hot, and a pair of eyes also shot out two fine lights.
Subsequently, without thinking about it, he decided to immediately send troops to recapture more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver that had not yet been robbed by the bandits, and take them for himself.
Especially when he heard that there were only more than a hundred bandits attacking the iron mines, this determination became even stronger.
It turned out that the traitor who escaped from the pursuit of the reconnaissance platoon did not see the main force of Yangjiazhai led by Yang Xingguo.
Therefore, in his mouth, the strength of Yangjiazhai to attack the iron mine has directly changed from more than 500 people to more than 100 people.
And at this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi, who was only thinking about how to keep more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver for himself, directly ignored a very big problem......
If there are really only more than 100 bandits attacking the iron mine, then how can the more than 100 bandits eliminate the more than 100 elites of the iron mine garrison company?
What he didn't expect was that it was because of his greed, neglect, and carelessness that he almost lost his life in a series of battles launched by Yang Xingguo......
Combined with the traitor's report, Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi immediately made a decision: "With his major deputy as the commander, lead three rifle companies and the only heavy machine gun, and immediately send troops to recapture the iron ore and more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver from Yang Jiazhai."
In order to give confidence to the reinforcements sent out, Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi also made a special promise that as long as everyone recaptured the iron ore, gold and silver from the bandits, each of the officers and men of the army could get a reward ranging from 22 taels to 1,000 taels.
Stimulated by heavy rewards. More than 400 old Maozi, like a clockwork war machine, only took half an hour to prepare and drove out of Anshan County.
As soon as more than 400 old Maozi left the city, the cavalry platoon soldiers lurking outside Anshan City sent the news to Yang Xingguo as soon as possible.
"More than 400 old Maozi, a heavy machine gun, is still within our tolerance range......" After reading the information, Yang Xingguo directly made a statement on the enemy situation and the battle that was about to break out in front of him.
Zhao Zhigang, who had already admired Yang Xingguo, although he did not object, still reminded with a worried face.
"Commander, if there are only more than four hundred old Maozi riflemen, there is no problem at all in eating them...... The key is a heavy machine gun brought by Lao Maozi, I have seen the power of the heavy machine gun, the veteran is okay, he knows how to hide. As for the recruits, I can't guarantee it. So, we have to find a way to knock out the old Maozi heavy machine gun first......"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhigang said with a look of embarrassment: "How can it be so easy......"
"It is impossible for Lao Maozi not to know the importance of heavy machine guns to them. During the battle, Lao Maozi will definitely send heavy troops to protect their heavy machine guns. In this way, it is almost impossible to send someone to knock it out......"
At this time, Yang Xingguo, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
"Who said that heavy machine guns must be knocked out to not threaten us......."
"We have two heavy machine guns, Lao Maozi only has one, two against one, I don't believe I can't suppress them!"
"Also, don't forget our terrain advantage...... No matter how tricky Lao Maozi is in arranging the heavy machine gun position, he can't escape the strafing of our two heavy machine guns......"
"So, we don't have to worry about Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun at all...... What you need to do is to eliminate more than 400 riflemen from Lao Maozi at the lowest cost......"
Now that he has decided to make a name for himself through this battle, there is no need for Yang Xingguo to continue to hide his strength.
Therefore, from the moment he knew that Lao Maozi had a heavy machine gun, Yang Xingguo decided to have a hard-fought battle with Lao Maozi.
Under the watchful eyes of several subordinates, Yang Xingguo only hesitated for a short time before opening his mouth to order.
"A company, a heavy machine gun platoon, a sniper platoon, defending the hill, I personally commanded it, and the head-on resistance Lao Maozi ......"
"The second company, armed with light machine guns, lurked in the woods on the left side of the hill. After receiving my order to attack, immediately launch an attack from Lao Maozi's left flank......"
"The third company, lurking in the forest on the right, after receiving the order, launched an attack from the right flank of Lao Maozi......"
"The reconnaissance platoon, the cavalry platoon, give me to set up defenses on the official road where Lao Maozi retreated to the county seat, and eliminate all the fish that may slip through the net on the battlefield...... This time, I'm going to wipe out all the old hairy people in the city......"
On the official road, which is still five miles away from the mountain where Yang Xingguo is located, hundreds of old Maozi are advancing towards the battlefield little by little with a tired face.
Although all the old Maozi, including the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, were confident in this offensive. However, the cautious deputy battalion commander of the major, still arranged a platoon of troops as a forward to avoid an ambush of the troops.
