Chapter 61: Bandit Provocation

The moment a series of shots were fired, the deputy battalion commander of Major Lao Maozi knew that he had been fooled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As a battle-hardened veteran, Major Lao Maozi, the deputy battalion commander, reacted immediately, and shouted loudly at his subordinates who were stunned beside him: "What are you still doing, order the attacking troops to retreat immediately, we are fooled, there are not dozens of bandits at the top of the mountain, but more than a hundred, and the main forces of the bandits are all concentrated here......

The Major's order was transmitted to the eyes of the remaining old hairy people on the battlefield through the order flag as soon as possible, but no matter how fast they were, they could not move faster than the speed of bullets.

Two platoons of more than eighty old maozi were wiped out under the watchful eye of the major and deputy battalion commander, and not even a single one was alive.

The loss of a company without even seeing the shadow of the bandits was an unprecedented blow to the deputy battalion commander of Major Lao Maozi.

The dense gunfire on the battlefield stopped for a minute, and the battalion commander of Major Lao Maozi reacted from his stunnedness.

Then, without thinking about it, he shouted: "I will kill all the bandits on the top of the mountain, kill them all......"

"What about heavy machine guns? Immediately set up positions, this time, we must not underestimate the enemy. Covered by heavy machine gun fire, the second company continued to attack on the hilltop, took it down, and eliminated the bandits on the hill......"

Soon, Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun was escorted by more than a dozen machine gunners and was set up less than 200 meters from the mountain.

Just when the old Maozi heavy machine gunner was about to take his position and began to carry out suppressive strafing fire on the mountain bandits.

Yang Xingguo was already standing beside Zhong Hu, the commander of the heavy machine gun platoon.

After a sneer quickly flashed at the corner of his mouth, Yang Xingguo said directly to Zhong Hu: "Platoon Commander Zhong, do you see Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun...... Whether your heavy machine gun platoon can have more heavy machine guns depends on the next battle of your heavy machine gun platoon......"

"You two heavy machine guns, suppress one heavy machine gun together, and don't let one old man get close to the heavy machine gun......"

"Of course, if you are sure, you can also draw a heavy machine gun in the middle of the battle and provide fire cover for a company and a sniper platoon......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xingguo saw that an old Maozi heavy machine gunner was already squatting in the heavy machine gun firing position, holding the gun in both hands, waiting for the order to shoot......

As for the other machine gunners, they may have thought that their heavy machine gun positions were very safe, and they all gathered around the heavy machine guns in a posture of schadenfreude......

Such a good opportunity is in front of Yang Xingguo, of course Yang Xingguo will not let him slip out of his hands.

After patting Zhong Hu, who was personally controlling the machine gun, on the shoulder, Yang Xingguo ordered very decisively: "Shoot at the heavy machine gun position of Lao Maozi and shoot ...... immediately."

When the order was given, the gunshots rang out, and two thick tongues of fire quickly erupted the barrels of the heavy machine guns, like two death sickles that harvested lives, sweeping directly towards the heavy machine gun position of Lao Maozi.

Yang Xingguo clearly saw that wherever the two heavy machine guns flared up, whether it was Lao Maozi soldiers or anything else, they were all beaten to the ground. Especially the old Maozi heavy machine gunners gathered next to the heavy machine guns, each soldier was punched with several fist-sized blood holes. In the blink of an eye, a living person becomes a corpse.

The more than a dozen heavy machine gunners next to Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun didn't even have a chance to react, and they were all wiped out under the sweep of the two heavy machine guns.

In the face of this sudden change, Lao Maozi and the others were once again taken aback by the combat effectiveness shown by the bandits on the mountain.

However, as a qualified commander, Major Lao Maozi still reacted immediately.

Order a platoon's subordinates to attack immediately and snatch back the heavy machine guns under the strafing and suppression of the bandits' two heavy machine guns.

Otherwise, under the suppression of the bandits' two heavy machine guns, he would not have had any support firepower, and he would not be the opponent of the mountain bandits at all.

However, he still far underestimated the power of two heavy machine guns to strafe together.

More than thirty elites in a platoon of their own, although they rushed to the heavy machine guns one after another.

However, no matter how hard they tried, there was no way to break through the fire interception of two heavy machine guns.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 elites in a platoon were lost.

As for the remaining less than five old hairy people, looking at the corpses in front of them that had been beaten into a hornet's nest, no matter what the officer ordered, they did not dare to continue to rush to the heavy machine gun position because of fear.

At this time, his face was complicated, there was despair, shock, helplessness, and puzzlement, and Major Maozi did not embarrass these subordinates.

After waving his hand, he motioned for everyone to stop this pointless attack.

Major Lao Maozi had to face a very difficult decision.

Whether to continue the pointless attack on the hill, or to retreat immediately and retreat to the city with the rest of the men.

Just when Major Mao Zi was hesitant and engaged in a complicated struggle in his heart, Yang Xingguo's decision directly angered him, and made him lose the reason that the commander should have little by little.

The more than 100 bandits occupying the top of the hill suddenly all stood up from their hiding places, as if they were showing off their might. Then, with his rifle in both hands, he pressed down the hill while releasing the gun in his direction, completely defiant......

How could Lao Maozi, who didn't even look at the regular army of the Qing Dynasty, be so insulted by a bandit who was inferior to the army.

A company of more than 100 brothers, under the cover of a sniper platoon and two heavy machine guns, had just flaunted their might and rushed to the foot of the mountain less than 30 meters.

Lao Maozi's company of troops went into battle amid the major's aggrieved and angry orders.

Of course, anger is anger, and Major Maozi is not stupid enough to directly order more than a hundred subordinates to rush to the battlefield to die.

When a company launched a counter-charge against the bandits from the front, a platoon of soldiers followed and lurked around the heavy machine-gun position.

When the bandits' heavy machine gun fire is transferred to the attacking troops, they immediately recapture the heavy machine guns, let the heavy machine guns rejoin the battlefield, and cover the attacking troops of a company on the battlefield.

Major Maozi's idea is good, but Yang Xingguo is not so easy to fool.

Besides, Yang Xingguo, who has enough troops in his hands, will not order the recruits of one of his companies to fight hard with the veterans of Lao Maozi's company.

Therefore, the attacking troops of Lao Maozi's company had just entered Yang Xingguo's field of vision, and the company that rushed out of the position was under Yang Xingguo's order, lying on the spot and preparing to block the enemy.

On the heavy machine gun position, Zhong Hu, who was full of confidence, after getting Yang Xingguo's affirmation, left a heavy machine gun to continue to strafe Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun position, and at the same time, he personally manipulated another heavy machine gun, quickly turned the muzzle, and aimed at the Lao Maozi attack unit of a company 200 meters away.

Then, as if taking a stimulant, he began to pull the trigger of the heavy machine gun with a frantic face.
