Chapter Thirty-Six: Leading by Lead
At night, in the south of Changqing County, Wang Jundao lurked in the jungle and said to Tang Jian next to him: "How is the sniper rifle groping?" ”
"Within 500 meters, no one can escape my sniping." Tang Jian touched the sniper rifle in his hand and said in a low voice. He simply liked this gun so much, compared to a hard bow that could only shoot a hundred and fifty meters at most, this gun was simply the best weapon for sniping, and the effective range was directly more than seven hundred meters, which was incredible.
"Okay." Wang Jundao nodded, he knew that this sniper rifle was the best choice for Tang Jian. At present, there is only this one in the entire Tiger Army, and he asked Tao Yezi to make it himself, and Tao Yezi didn't know that what he wanted to make was a sniper rifle, because many things were just designed by Wang Jundao, and Tao Yezi was found to make parts with the best materials, and the final assembly was done by himself.
"Commander, you designed this gun?" Tang Jian asked in a low voice.
"Not only this gun, but also the rifles, pistols, grenades, mortars, explosives, etc., of the 'Piercing Sky' series that the special operations battalion is equipped with are all designed and manufactured under my guidance." Wang Jundao nodded and said.
"Then you must be the most familiar with this gun, how far can you shoot?" Tang Jian asked. In his heart, he was already surprised that Wang Jundao could design guns and weapons, because Wang Jundao had already shocked him not knowing how many times, in this regard, he had long been numb, in his heart, Wang Jundao was omnipotent.
"What is the effective range of this gun?" Wang Jundao asked with a smile.
"Seven hundred meters." Tang Jian replied accurately.
"Within 700 steps, there is no false incident." Wang Jundao smiled faintly.
"Hiss......" Tang Jian gasped, and only after half a sound did he whisper: "The army commander is the army commander, and he will always look up to him." ”
"Okay, don't slap me on the back, the city gate is open, hurry into the city and take control of the barracks." Wang Jundao looked at the light of the flashlight that appeared on the city tower to report the news, and patted Tang Jiandao.
"Yes." Tang Jian looked at the flashlight light on the upper floor of the city, and secretly said carelessly, if it wasn't for Wang Jundao's reminder, he missed the first time he saw the signal, which would sometimes be fatal.
After Tang Jian left, Wang Jundao asked Lei Ba to call a few battalion commanders, and directly ordered, "Huwei Battalion go to control the county government, don't let an official, a catcher, and a government official run away, and at the same time inspect the streets, and if you encounter a restless person, arrest him on the spot, and if the deeds are serious, warn him first, the warning is ineffective, and kill him on the spot, no matter who he is." The Tiger Roar Battalion went to control the various city gates, and gave me a heavy machine gun at each city gate, and without my order, no one was allowed to leave the city, and no one was allowed to enter the city, otherwise, they would be shot and killed. The Haw Par Battalion, the Communications Battalion Company, and the Logistics Battalion followed me into the city to take control of the barracks. The machine gun battalion, pistol battalion, and artillery battalion were on standby, and the Tiger Roar Battalion and the Baggage Engineering Battalion went to the bridgehead of the Dasha River to build fortifications and dig more cat ear holes. ”
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
This time, Wang Jundao brought out the Huwei Battalion, the Tiger Roar Battalion, the Tiger Roar Battalion, the Tiger Leopard Battalion, the Machine Gun Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Pistol Battalion, the Communications Battalion, and the Baggage Engineering Regiment, and the Fifth Regiment of the Tiger Ben Army was sent to Zhonggong Township.
There are 1,000 Tiger Fierce Battalion warriors who can sit in Tai'an, and 1,000 cavalry battalions can arrive at various counties at any time for reinforcements, coupled with the stability of the people's hearts, Tai'an Mansion seems to be empty, but in fact it is solid, and with the Taitai Mingyue to take on the big task and oversee the military and political affairs of the Tai'an region, Wang Jundao can rest assured that he can attack the city outside.
There was no great resistance, and only a short period of gunfire and earthen cannons sounded in the county town of Changqing, and before dawn the next day, the entire county town had completely fallen into the hands of Wang Jundao.
Just after noon, as soon as Changqing County stabilized, Tang Jian hurriedly found Wang Jundao under the leadership of Fan Zong, the commander of the communications battalion, and reported: "Army commander, Yuan Shikai's 3,000 new army has appeared fifteen miles away from the northeast. ”
"Oh, that's fast." Wang Jundao smiled faintly and asked, "Have you observed the situation of their team clearly?" Did you ever carry artillery? ”
"Nope." Tang Jian shook his head and said.
"Okay, Fan Zong, pass on my order to transfer the machine gun battalion and the Tiger Roar battalion to the Dasha River, if they dare to cross the river, they will beat me hard." Wang Jundao said.
"Yes." Fan Zong took the order and left.
"Tang Jian, where is the special operations battalion now?" Wang Jundao asked.
"Commander Hui, according to the time, it should be time to go to the Yufu River now." Tang Jian replied.
"Okay, you go in person, lead them to sneak into Jinan City in disguise in batches, and wait for my order." Wang Jundao said.
"Yes."
Half an hour later, at the head of the Dasha River bridge, there were three long trenches, and the soil was piled up in front one after another, forming three long backbones, and between each trench, there were trenches connected, and the three trenches were all open to the rear, and they could retreat quietly along the trenches, and in the trenches, dozens of cat ear holes had been dug.
Although Yuan Shikai's 3,000 new army has undergone nearly half a year of modern military training, they have not experienced much real militarized warfare, but because of the frequent extermination of the Boxers with new weapons in the past few months, their self-confidence has been unprecedentedly full, so they don't take the three raised backbones on the other side of the Dasha River seriously at all, even if the mud is fresh, even if there is an ambush behind the mud pile, they don't pay attention to it, because they can't see a single person at all.
Therefore, 1,000 people of the vanguard of the 3,000 new army stepped on the bridge of the Dasha River in an orderly manner, and Wang Jundao lay in the trenches, observing all this through the observation glass, and said in a low voice: "The army is in a strict formation, and the momentum is like a rainbow, it is indeed an elite soldier." ”
"The elite soldiers are also here to feed the guns." Lei Ba lay beside Wang Jundao and said disdainfully.
"They're so proud." Han Muxia looked through the observation glass handed to him by Wang Jundao, looked at the new army who was about to cross the bridge, and said.
"They are a new army, equipped with new weapons and equipment, trained in new methods, and they have repeatedly defeated the Boxers in the past few months, and they are naturally satisfied." Wang Jundao said with a smile.
"Commander, they're only two hundred meters away." Han Muxia nodded and said.
"Well, wait until they get closer." Wang Jundao said calmly.
"Commander, they advanced more than a hundred meters." Half a ring, Han Muxia said again.
"Wait until they get closer." Wang Jundao said quietly.
"Commander, they have advanced another fifty meters, and they are only fifty meters away from our first trench." After a pause, Han Muxia continued.
"Brothers, copy me guys, hit." Wang Jundao roared, tore off the yellow-colored tarpaulin covering the Makqin heavy machine gun, took control of the heavy machine gun, and opened fire on the new army, which was only more than 40 meters away from the trench.
Dada......
Under Wang Jundao's strafing fire, more than a dozen people fell to the new army in an instant, and the brothers of the machine gun battalion of the Huben army saw that their commander was so violent, they all forgot the tension of going to the battlefield, tore off the tarpaulin covering the heavy machine gun, and shot fiercely at the new army.
Dada......
Twenty heavy machine guns and two hundred pistols on the first trench opened fire almost simultaneously, and the dense bullets gathered and rained down on the vanguard of the new army.
The new troops in the back finally reacted, and they all raised their guns to load and shoot at the trenches of the Tiger Army, but the guns in their hands were not automatic rifles, and they had to be loaded once to shoot a shot, which was extremely troublesome, and in the panic, they shot indiscriminately at all, so they didn't shoot the Tiger Army on the trench, and they fell down frequently.
The battle turned into a carnage!
After a while, there were only four or five hundred people left in the 1,000 new troops who crossed the river, and they realized that what they had to do now was not to fight back, but to lie down or find a bunker, but in front of the Tiger Ben Army trench was an empty open space, not to mention finding a bunker, even if they were looking for a mound, they had no choice but to lie on the ground, but the Tiger Ben Army's trench was in a high position, condescending, and even if the New Army soldiers lay on the ground, they could not change the nightmare of being shot by bullets.
Wang Jundao quickly finished the bullets in a chain of bullets, because no one loaded for him, he dropped the heavy machine gun, pulled out two twenty-shot Mauser pistols, and rushed out of the trench, which frightened Lei Ba and Han Muxia, the two hurriedly jumped out of the trench with two guns in hand, stood beside him, and said loudly while shooting: "Commander, it's dangerous here, you better go behind the trench." ”
"It's okay, those guns can't hurt me, so many brothers are looking at me in the back, I'm going to retreat, won't they laugh at me? Today I will show you all that on the battlefield, the less afraid you are of death, the less you will be able to die, and put two more twenty-shot Mauser pistols in my gun case. Wang Jundao yelled. At this time, the ten 'divine soldiers' next to them jumped out of the trench, stood on both sides of Wang Jundao, and held twenty Mauser pistols in both hands, shooting at the new army point not far away.
"Yes." Lei Ba and Han Muxia had no choice but to insert the pistols they prepared into the gun boxes on the left and right sides of Wang Jundao.
"Brothers of the 1st Company of the Assault Battalion and the 1st Company of the Pistol Battalion, charge with me!" Wang Jundao smiled at the corner of his mouth and roared. Then he rushed towards the New Army, and the bullets of two twenty Mauser pistols flew towards the New Army without a fatal move, each of which could take the life of a New Army soldier, but at the same time, his feet were stepping on the mysterious Nine Palace Steps, swaying left and right, and those bullets flying towards him seemed to be afraid of him, and did not dare to hurt him at all.
At this time, the ten divine soldiers had already rushed out with Wang Jundao, and Lei Ba roared violently: "Rush." ”
"Rush." In the trenches, the soldiers of the first company of the pistol battalion and the first company of the assault battalion shouted in unison, jumped out of the trench with their guns in hand, and followed Wang Jundao to charge towards the new troops who were already beginning to desperately retreat to the bridgehead and escape.
The 200-strong charging procession, with Wang Jundao as an arrow, shot towards the new army like an arrow.
In the end, less than 100 of the vanguard of the 1,000 New Army fled back to the north bank of the Dasha River.
The 2,000 new troops on the north shore were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground, and in such a short time, a thousand people were gone, and they were really afraid.
"Haha, the new army is all a bad seed!" Wang Jundao stopped at the bridge, looked at the new army on the other side of the river, and laughed loudly.
"Bad seeds!" All the stormtroopers burst out laughing.
"Brothers, go back to the trenches, we are waiting for the new army to come and send us to our deaths." Wang Jundao said loudly.
"Roar!" After all the stormtroopers let out a loud roar, they followed Wang Jundao back into the trench.
In just this battle, the image of Wang Jundao, who is not afraid of sacrifice, has completely penetrated into the hearts of every Tiger Ben Army soldier.
