103: Native Officers and Wolf Soldiers

"It seems to be a little interesting, compared to playing big accounts, it's finally a bit like a decent opponent......

Standing outside the village, Deng Shifeng handed his telescope to Luo Dan, there is only one telescope for officers to borrow Deng Shifeng's telescope for every action, the lack of better observation equipment limits the information that can be obtained by battlefield observation, although now the mountain village has been able to produce glass, but those glasses have not been able to meet the quality requirements of optical glass, although such lenses can be better than the telescopic monocular lenses currently produced in Europe, but Deng Shifeng does not intend to use such inferior products to harm the eyes of his officers.

"Hehe, teacher, don't say it, these local officials are really ruthless compared to those big households, you see that the village has no defense facilities at all, and now after seeing us, they will pull people out to line up, it is completely a posture of wanting to die!"

The binoculars were handed to the next officer to observe, who, after discovering that his team had appeared, began to assemble his team outward, completely abandoning the defenses of his own village; More than 300 people are gradually gathering in front. Seeing the other party fighting an offensive and defensive battle with himself outside, Luo Dan was already a little eager to go up and show the army's bravery, and the limelight of the last battle was basically stolen by the artillery, which made Luo Dan, who had always wanted to try what it was like to be shot in a group.

"Hehe, we're not stupid, and people aren't stupid, it's been so many days, the news that the Li family's compound was beaten down has already reached them, and so many spies have been sent to investigate, and they haven't caught any news, and they don't understand anything, and they are still squatting inside and being bombarded by us in vain...... That saves us......"

As Deng Shifeng said, the other party did learn the news of the Li family's compound being beaten down from some villagers and guardians who ran away that day, although they don't know where these mountain people came from with such powerful forces and numbers, but considering that they are the next military fortress, the local officials of Shanhuang Village still sent a large number of scouts to investigate, and at the same time strengthened the security level of the village. As more and more information was collected, the other party became more and more frightened, especially after the information that the other party had artillery was confirmed by the two disappeared earth buildings, the local officials of Shanhuang Village understood that they were in big trouble......

"Line up! One platoon and two platoons are ready for lateral combat, three platoons cover the flanks, artillery is on alert !! ”

The other party pulled up a posture to open the film directly, Luo Dan naturally did not show weakness, and under his order, a decent battle formation was placed three hundred meters in front of the opponent's personnel. It was estimated that eighty percent of the artillery would not be needed in this battle, so Luo Dan temporarily turned the artillery into an infantry armed with a guard, responsible for guarding the rear of the team and making the last barrier. However, judging from the posture shown by the two sides, the Tuguan side is completely inferior to such a level in comparison, not only is it not neatly dressed, the formation of the standing team is also scattered and loose, and the team that forms a line with the mountain village is inferior in momentum.

Although the two sides put on a posture of opening the film as soon as they came up, they still have to say these two sentences about what should be said, which is a bit like singing before singing, there must be a process and prologue...... The local official quickly sent a person who resembled a liaison soldier to run fifty meters away from the formation, and asked where the team in the mountain village belonged in the common official language...... However, compared with Li Laocai, the other party also showed his identity, belonging to the local officials of the Ming Dynasty, if they attack them, they belong to the category of rebellion......

"Go back and tell your master, I'm not borrowing, I'm a demolition team who came to destroy the city!! If he demolishes the fort himself, I will spare him from dying!! ”

Deng Shifeng grinned, didn't look for the soldier who passed the message, he walked to the front of the queue and replied directly to the liaison soldier loudly, hearing Deng Shifeng's reply made the liaison soldier's expression turn back quite strangely......

"Teacher, what if he demolishes the fort himself?"

Seeing the other party's liaison soldier turn back, Luo Dan asked his teacher with some curiosity.

"Hehe, can he dismantle it? The meaning of the existence of their local officials is to guard all intersections for the imperial court, and the imperial court of each military fort has allocated money, food and materials to fund the construction, and the demolition of the military fort is a serious crime, and he dares to do this, and those officials of the imperial court can pinch this degraded and sent him to the officials, and the other local officials just have the intention to ensure that he has no excuse to make trouble!! Don't look at the local officials, although they have little knowledge, they are still very particular about reputation, compared to those officials who say one thing and do another, they are all honest people! ”

Sure enough, just as Deng Shifeng was explaining to Luo Dan, the words passed back by the other party's liaison soldiers made the middle-aged strong man led by the opposite side extremely angry, and after shouting loudly in an incomprehensible language, more than 300 people on the opposite side slowly began to move forward......

"Interesting, Luo Dan, do you see anything from the other party's formation?"

Because the distance is a little far, as long as you are not a fool, you will not let your people run and sprint wildly at the beginning, and sprint down at a distance of more than 300 meters, that is not to fight but to send people's heads! Taking advantage of the stage when the other party was slowly moving forward, Deng Shifeng pointed to the opposite team and asked.

"Like...... The momentum is good, but it feels like something is missing...... And the people in the team seem to be different, the more than 50 people who walked in front are more ferocious, but the people in the back are obviously worse in momentum!! ”

"That's right, the villagers who walked behind were recruited from the local area, they didn't like to fight, and at best they only followed behind to help the number of scenes; And the one who walks in front is the Tuguan's own native soldiers, that is, the most effective troops of the Tuguan, that is, the so-called wolf soldiers!! ”

Wolf soldiers, in the history books of the Ming Dynasty refers to the indigenous soldiers of Guangxi, these soldiers are in small teams of several people, or five or seven, the former fights and kills the enemy followed by a person who specializes in harvesting heads, and the individual combat power is fierce, and the native soldiers in some places also tattoo their faces, so that they are very shocked from the visual point of view.

There are historical sources that say that the wolf soldiers are as fierce as tigers, but there are also historical records that the combat effectiveness is not very strong, the most representative is that Mrs. Washi led the wolf soldiers to the north to fight the Japanese, and they were defeated again and again but still able to defeat again and again.

For this point, Deng Shifeng personally said that in the case of small-scale operations in mountainous areas, the wolf soldiers in Guangxi have created a brave and aggressive individual strength because of the treacherous living environment, and in the case that they cannot carry out a queue cluster operation in the mountainous areas, they are strangled together by the wolf soldiers who fight in groups of three or five, which is basically equivalent to being eaten by the PLA in later operations; However, if the wolf soldiers are put into plain operations and group operations, because the commander's ability is limited, it can even be said that he has not commanded the battle in a formation at all, and completely relies on the strength of individuals and small groups of individuals who are brave and brave, and they are easily swallowed up by the power of the group, and the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers can be explained by the ups and downs.

Deng Shifeng's evaluation of the wolf soldiers Luo Dan naturally knew it, and in the state that the number of people fighting on both sides was not large, Luo Dan understood better what the consequences would be if the other party hit his own camp, in the face of the more than fifty brave wolf soldiers who were at the front, Luo Dan felt that his adrenaline was rapidly increasing the secretion, and pulled out his pistol and dog-legged machete, Luo Dan took a step forward slightly, ready to block the teacher behind him at a critical moment.

Luo Dan's intentions Deng Shifeng couldn't understand, and gently patted Luo Dan to express his gratitude, Deng Shifeng was very confident and shouted to the infantry around him:

"All listen to the order, get on the bayonet! The front row is ready to kneel, three rapid fire is ready, reloaded, everyone raises their guns! Aim!! ”

Under Deng Shifeng's order, the two rows of soldiers quickly adjusted the height difference between the front and rear rows, the palms and mouths of the guns bit the next two spare rounds, the two rows of summer-style rifles, one high and one short, pointed forward, and the mechanical notch-type aiming door appeared in the figure of the opposing personnel gradually accelerating.

"Front row, fire!!"

Deng Shifeng's firing order was reached, and more than 30 soldiers in the front row concentrated their fire and fired the first wave of bullets, which quickly crossed a distance of more than 100 meters and hit the bodies of more than a dozen people in front of the opponent.

"Second platoon, fire!!"

When the front platoon was almost finished, the second platoon's order to fire again caused a dense burst of gunfire and screams; Two consecutive rounds of dense platoon guns caught the opponent off guard, although they probably knew that the opponent's firearms were sharp, but before they saw it with their own eyes, who could have imagined that it would be sharp to this extent, after the two rows of firearms fired, twenty or thirty people had fallen on their side, and all of them were put on the ground either wailing or being silent......

"Front row! Fire!! ”

"Rear row, fire!!"

"Fire!!"

"Fire!!"

Deng Shifeng didn't care what the other party thought, after the two rows of soldiers fired six consecutive rounds of guns under his order, the position was already covered with a thin layer of gunsmoke, and in front of them, there were corpses and wounded people who fell to the ground, and the six rounds fired more than 200 rounds of ammunition to make the other party lie down directly on the ground.

At this time, the other party had already rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from the team, but at this time, the remaining men and horses of the other party did not choose to continue to attack, but lost the courage to attack under the last round of fire-gathering platoons, and began to run backwards...... If there is no one to supervise the formation, you won't run!!
