After training for a whole afternoon, Wang Sirui shouted at the soldiers after a short break in the evening.

In addition, there was another battle of not small scale the night before, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion at this moment were extremely tired, both mentally and physically.

With the current state of the troops, it is extremely unsuitable for continuing operations.

But Wang Sirui didn't have any more options, he didn't even have time for basic training, how could he have enough time to rest for the soldiers?

Although they can let this wave of enemies pass and wait for the next wave of enemies to come.

But war is so cruel, once you miss one opportunity, then you don't know when the next opportunity will wait?

There is no way, Wang Sirui can only train the combat skills of the soldiers in actual combat, as for the casualties, this Wang Sirui is really powerless, so he can only resign himself to fate.

In the silent night, with no fingers to be seen, and the sweltering heat made people feel a little irritable, a team of nearly forty people quietly marched forward, as little as possible to make any noise.

Although the fighters were already tired, they had to be careful at this time.

Because everybody knows, what are they going to be up against? If you are not careful, you may lose your own life.

There are only two kinds of people who are not afraid of death on the battlefield, one is the warrior with a spiritual backbone, who has the determination to die from the beginning. This kind of person, if they cooperate with a brave and resourceful commander on the battlefield, they will play a huge role.

The other kind of people are pure fools, and in the eyes of the world, the Boxers are definitely a patriotic group. Although the current Boxer Rebellion has lost its original essence, as its fame grew, the orange of the members who joined it was also uneven, making it difficult for the commander to control his troops.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly weakened, and the harm caused to the entire society by the uncontrolled troops will be enormous.

Although they fight very hard, they never even care about their personal life and death, as long as there is an enemy in front of them, they will rush forward without hesitation, even if there are many dead and wounded, they will not give up.

The Boxers are the second type of people in Wang Sirui's mouth. Although many people are not convinced, thinking that Wang Sirui is a bit unrighteous when he says that the Boxers are a bit unrighteous, but in the face of specific analysis, they can only be convinced by the truth one by one.

To the north of the railway line, about two kilometers or so, there is a babbling stream, which is matched by a river channel about 30 meters wide and about 5 or 6 meters deep.

Legend has it that in ancient times, it was once a large river, but as the upper reaches dried up, the river gradually began to fall into disuse.

The river is full of trees and weeds, both new plants and dry grass left over from previous years.

This place has long been recorded by Wang Sirui in his battle map, and when he decided to fight this battle, Wang Sirui subconsciously chose this piece of land.

It was about two kilometers away from the road, and even if the troops advanced lightly, it would take at least ten minutes to arrive. Besides, their reinforcements weren't here yet, which meant that if everything went well, they would have at least an hour or so to destroy the enemy here.

"The first squad is on standby, the second squad leader and the third squad leader are coming with me." After arriving at the river valley, Wang Sirui beckoned to the two squad leaders, and immediately climbed up to the top of the river at the other end.

"Second squad leader, your squad's task is to dig a pit here that is big enough for one person to get into. You don't have to dig too deep, five fingers deep, and at least as long as an arm from the front. Make a pit every two steps, and let two more people make torches. Wang Sirui spent two lines on the ground, which was regarded as an example for the second shift Chang Cheng.

Immediately, before Cheng Jin could speak, Wang Sirui instructed Wang Shuqi: "Uncle Wang, the task of your class is to go to the vicinity to collect some dry firewood and dry grass, the more the better, and then spread it into the river." ”

Wang Sirui pointed to a river in front of him.

"My lord, what is this for?" Han Jin didn't understand, and Wang Shuqi didn't understand either. The two looked at Wang Sirui with a confused expression, because in their opinion, these arrangements did not seem to be of any help to the battle, and they had never heard of any army fighting like this?

Could it be that Wang Sirui wanted to burn the coalition forces under this river? It seems unlikely, it's too unrealistic.

"Digging a pit is to make a cover, this thing can save your life at a critical moment, and looking for dry firewood is naturally to use an external force, in case the enemy comes too much, it's not easy for us to stop it, right?" Wang Sirui explained simply, counting the time, it is almost the same, so he did not elaborate.

"You have half an hour, the gunfire is the order, as long as you hear the gunshots, no matter what you do, immediately enter the position. In addition, send a man to the opposite side to hide, and once all the enemy troops have entered the valley, immediately light a torch and throw it into the valley, and then come back in a circle. Wang Sirui continued.

Within two kilometers, if nothing else, the gunfire will certainly not be heard. But their purpose in this battle is to lure the enemy into the trap, so they will inevitably shoot as they retreat along the way, and when they can hear the gunshots, they will enter the position, and the time is just right.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Sirui led his team to the ambush site on the side of the road. Because he was not an ambush here, after arriving at the battlefield, Wang Sirui did not ask the soldiers to find any cover, but directly ordered to rest.

While resting, Wang Sirui began to order: "Later, with the sound of my gun, after the gunshot, each person will fire three shots as fast as possible, and then retreat according to the way I taught you today." The people covering wait for me to give the order to shoot, and without my order, they are not allowed to shoot, and they must not accidentally injure their own people. ”

The retreat for a while must be his own palace, Wang Sirui didn't want to die under the bullets of the Japanese, but he was killed by his own people first.

Although these situations had been talked about in the afternoon, Wang Sirui still felt that he needed to talk about them again.

"Don't worry, my lord, we won't let our guns go anywhere." One soldier spoke cautiously, but words could not hide his nervousness.

After all, this was the first time he had touched a gun, and he hadn't actually fired a shot yet. And the practice of marksmanship has also been practiced since this morning, but I heard Wang Sirui say that the recoil is very strong, you must control the rifle when shooting, and you must not use your head and neck to push the butt of the gun, etc.

Although they knew a lot, they had no experience in actual combat, and the mystery they faced in front of them made them nervous.

Wang Sirui smiled and patted the soldier's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be nervous, what are the Japanese like?" You all saw this last night. We're just going to lead them over now, and as long as you can follow the points I made that afternoon, I guarantee that each and every one of you will make it back alive. ”

"Besides, when you become a soldier for a few years, you have earned enough money, and I still expect you to bring your mother-in-law and dolls to see Lao Tzu at that time."

"Haha......"

Wang Sirui's joke made many people laugh instantly, and the tension in their hearts also decreased a lot.

Once again, there was silence, save for the chirping of insects. The atmosphere was a little oppressive.

Time was passing minute by minute, and the atmosphere had just eased a lot, and once again the tension began to appear. In this regard, Wang Sirui did not do any more measures, after all, everything he can do has been done, and whether he can survive this hurdle depends on the soldiers themselves.

At the same time, about three miles away from Wang Sirui's ambush site, a huge convoy was slowly moving forward.

The team of nearly 200 people yawned one by one, and if they were not walking, I am afraid that one by one would have fallen asleep by now.

Not to mention the marching soldiers, that is, the mules and horses pulling ammunition and materials, the war horses, at this time are also a little unbearable, walking slowly and leisurely, there is no strength at all, if it is not for the constant whipping of the body, these mules and horses, war horses may be difficult to continue to persevere.

Originally, the Japanese planned to rest in Langfang for a night and continue walking, but the commander above said that the other party was very likely to be active at night, so they had to cheer up and continue to walk.

As soon as the order came out, many Japanese began to scold their mothers underneath. It's really moving your mouth from above and breaking your legs from below. From the beginning of the morning to the present, they even eat while eating along the way, and they have to trot all the way to the toilet to keep up with the team, and they still have to move forward in the evening?

Although the commander of the unit also objected, hoping to rest for the night, or to be escorted by other troops to continue the advance. But they were rejected by the above, on the grounds that there were no extra troops to replace them.

Although they refused, they were allowed to rush to Anding to repair, so these Japanese soldiers could only force themselves to cheer up and continue to move forward.

"Baga, why is stability so far away? Why hasn't it arrived yet? A Japanese soldier scolded, very dissatisfied and complaining.

"The people above only know that these two places on the map are not far away, so they will only move their mouths." Another Japanese soldier chimed in.

"In our current state, where do we have the energy and stamina to fight? Seriously, if the enemy comes to sneak up at this time, I don't even know if we'll be able to hold them back? A Japanese soldier also vented his frustration.

There is no doubt that discontent had begun to spread among the Japanese troops, but only because the higher echelons had rejected their requests for recuperation.

Not to mention a high-vigilance march with a weapon on his back, just a normal person, with no weight on his body, and no need to be vigilant or anything, you let him walk from the morning to one or two o'clock in the morning the next day, you try? Will he be able to keep moving?

"Okay, everyone cheer up, we are about to get to the place where we were attacked yesterday, and we will be able to arrive at Anding in an hour at most." The Japanese squadron leader interrupted the soldiers' venting and comforted.

'Smack......'
