Chapter 111: Chopping the Tail

Since Lao Maozi entered Pine Ridge a few days ago, although the Liaodong Army has been fighting with Lao Maozi for several days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, as a newly formed combat battalion, Zhang Shanlin didn't even see the shadow of an old man, either dealing with the mountain road under his feet or the trenches on the battlefield.

Therefore, at this moment, not only Zhang Shanlin, but all the soldiers in the battalion are holding back their grievances and have no place to vent.

And at this moment, the commander's order to go to battle finally came.

Although it was only a raid and harassment operation, for Zhang Shanlin, if the raid and harassment operation was well done, the battle he could achieve would never be less than a frontal battle.

As the former company commander of the reconnaissance company, Zhang Shanlin participated in raiding operations more than once. For raiding operations, the entire Liaodong Army, except for the commander Yang Xingguo, is what he is best at.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Lin finished introducing the situation about Lao Maozi, a very bold idea appeared in Zhang Shanlin's mind.

"Lao Maozi killed Yangjiatun regardless of it, and the small attack not only did not affect them, but also caused a lot of casualties to ourselves......" Facing Wang Lin, Zhang Shanlin did not hesitate to say his thoughts.

"In that case, then I'll change the small fight into an ambush battle against Lao Maozi......"

"Isn't Lao Maozi bent on attacking Yangjiatun...... Well, I won't stop them, they can do whatever they want. ā€

"And I, specializing in ambushing his tails, cut them off one company at a time. With Lao Maozi's current situation, they will definitely ignore it and continue to march towards Yangjiatun. ā€

"And that's exactly what I want to see. On the surface, the loss of the strength of one company at a time is not large, but cutting down so many more companies will make them break their muscles and bones...... By the time they reacted, we had already fled with the capture......"

Nearly 2,000 old Maozi marched in a hurry while building roads.

Although it was very slow, after two hours had passed, it still advanced seven or eight miles.

At this moment, these old Maozi gathered in Yangjiatun, and there were only ten miles left.

According to the speed of the march in front of them, in two hours at most, they can see the foundation of the Liaodong Army, Yangjiatun.

Just when there was a rare smile on Major General Marni's face, a dense burst of gunfire mixed with heavy machine gun fire suddenly sounded in the direction of the guard company.

Subsequently, the report of slight alarm reached the ears of Major General Marni.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the rear guard company has been attacked, the enemy is armed with at least three heavy machine guns, the rear guard company has suffered heavy losses, request for reinforcements ......"

Major General Marni, who seems to have seen hope of victory, is certainly not going to stop here because of a company of defenders.

frowned, and decisively ordered: "Order, heavy machine gun cover, the rear guard company will break through in the direction of the main force on its own, and it will stand out as much as it can...... Other troops, keep moving forward......"

With Major General Marni ignoring it, the rearguard company lasted only five minutes before it was wiped out.

Because, in addition to the three heavy machine guns that ambushed the guard company, there were also six light machine guns brought by the reconnaissance company.

Looking at the corpses left by Lao Maozi on the mountain road, Zhang Shanlin ordered decisively with only a sneer flashing at the corner of his mouth.

"Bring the captured heavy machine guns, leave the other weapons alone, take the path, rush to the front of Lao Maozi, and cut down one of their companies......

Half an hour later, Major General Marni gathered in Yangjiatun for the last seven miles.

From the direction of the rearguard there was again a more intensive burst of machine-gun fire.

This time, Marni, who was getting closer and closer to victory, also made the decision to ignore it.

Because the fourth battalion added a heavy machine gun that captured Lao Maozi, this ambush lasted only four minutes, and Lao Maozi's company disappeared.

This time, the ranks of the fourth battalion of the Liaodong Army once again had an extra heavy machine gun that had been captured.

Looking at the subordinates in front of him who were stimulated by the victory and became more and more courageous, Zhang Shanlin did not lose his cool and continued to order.

"Brothers, there is Yangjiatun ahead, and we still have one last chance...... Hold on a little longer, and strive to kill Lao Maozi again.

Three miles, Major General Marni is still the last three miles away from Yangjiatun, and even the outline of Yangjiatun can be seen clearly.

Zhang Shanlin's third round of ambush against Lao Maozi began.

The year is already close at hand in Yangjiatun, and Major General Malni did not ignore it this time.

A heavy machine-gun company, two infantry companies, immediately launched a counterattack against the four battalions.

Soon, the four battalions that launched the attack retreated.

However, the final result surprised Major General Marni.

Although one company ambushed by the fourth battalion still had one platoon left, the two companies that launched a counterattack against the fourth battalion lost more than one platoon of troops.

Of course, Malni's counterattack was not for nothing.

Under Lao Maozi's clever counterattack, the four battalions, which had almost no casualties, also had to leave at least fifty corpses behind when retreating.

Although the results and losses surprised Major General Malni, it only took a short time for Major General Malni to shift his attention to the direction of Yangjiatun.

A few hundred meters away from Yangjiatun, a trench was directly in front of Major General Marni.

The trench was full of dense soldiers of the Liaodong Army.

Seeing this, Major General Marni has affirmed that his goal of directly killing Yang Jiatun has been achieved.

In order to keep Yang Jiatun, the cunning Yang Jiatun had to stand up and fight a decisive battle with himself.

At the same time, Yang Xingguo also held a telescope to observe Lao Maozi's every move.

"Zhang Shanlin is worthy of being a veteran of raids, and in more than two hours, he killed Lao Maozi in a battalion...... It was unexpected......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shanlin, who bypassed Lao Maozi, had already stood beside Yang Xingguo and reported excitedly.

"Commander, the fourth battalion successfully completed the task, eliminated one battalion of Lao Maozi, and lost two platoons for himself......"

Yang Xingguo asked with a satisfied face: "What about the troops...... Next is the decisive battle with Lao Maozi, and your four battalions will also participate in the battle......"

"Commander, all the troops are hidden behind Lao Maozi...... I see that there are not many old Maozi people left, and I wonder if when Lao Maozi attacks us, he can suddenly launch an attack on their artillery and take their artillery positions......"
