Sun Li put down the phone and immediately informed the troops of the first, second and second battalions to prepare for the attack; Order the 1st Battalion Machine Gun Company on the small high ground to indicate the target direction for the mortars of the 2nd Battalion down the hill. At 6:30 a.m., the shelling began, and the chief of staff took command of the mortars of the 1st, 2nd, and 2nd battalions on the small plateau.

The bandits in Zengjiazhai have suffered a lot in the past few months, and although they have a constant supply of rice, white flour, wine, and meat, they say that their normal life is much better than when they were bandits before, but Liu Yuru not only completely organized them according to the regular army, but also trained them completely according to the standards of the regular army, and they are still working three times a day. These bandits have long been used to idleness, especially the former bandit leaders and some big and small leaders, where have they ever suffered such hardships. complained to Liu Yuru, and was scolded by Liu Yuru for splitting his head and covering his face. Every time she trains, Liu Yuru runs around with a horse whip, and if she doesn't train seriously, it is a horse whip; If it's heavy, pull it out and it's a military stick. There are also a few former bandit leaders who did not want to suffer this crime, and they wanted to secretly drag people down the mountain to go back to work alone without Liu Yuru's knowledge, but they were all killed after Liu Yuru found out.

Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the bandits ate meat, drank wine, and played cards until midnight, thinking that they would not have a trip today. But I didn't expect it to come out early. These bandits cursed in their hearts, but no one dared to disobey.

The bandits, who were coming out, suddenly heard many sharp whistling sounds from far and near, and came straight towards them. The bandits from the Ying Department of the former Sun Dian, who followed Liu Yuru, heard the screaming sound and immediately fell on the spot, and some rushed to the nearby shelter to hide. Only those bandits who were later incorporated were still stunned and looked at the people hiding in embarrassment, at a loss.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Nearly 100 mortar shells blew up the smoke and dust, and in an instant covered the bandits who were working in the first wall of the wall, and before the smoke dissipated, there were two consecutive rounds of salvo fire, all the shells were pierced into the smoke and exploded, and the huge smoke and dust rose high, and the mountains and rocks that were blown up in the smoke and dust fell one after another, and some even flew into the second wall.

Liu Yuru, who was standing on the second wall to check the situation, was startled during the first round of shelling, such a dense artillery fire, he only saw it during the Second Northern Expedition, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army in the exchange of fire with the Northeast Army, but it was a big battle between several divisions! He believed that against his small cottage, no one would send a few divisions, even if they sent a division, it would also favor him. However, if it is a division, who will have such a powerful artillery fire? Liu Yuru thinks, if you say who has? It could only be the artillery regiment of the Jin Sui Army. But his Zengjiazhai is in Hebei! Could it be that the Jin Suijun came for that batch of treasures? But how did Jin Suijun know?

Liu Yuru is Sun Dianying's confidant, and Sun Dianying was his subordinate when he was a bandit in his early years. Due to the tight rumors of tracking down the tomb robbery, Sun Dianying did not dare to carry the treasure of the tomb robbery with the army, but he did not dare to bury it, unless he could guarantee that the people involved in the burial would never speak again. After thinking about it, he decided to pat his trusted henchman and secretly take this batch of treasures back to continue to be a bandit, no one would have thought that a large amount of treasure was in the bandits' den.

Liu Yuru is Sun Dianying's hardcore confidant, according to Sun Dianying's order, he secretly escorted this batch of treasures to Zengjiazhai, and almost no one knew about the old business and the grass as bandits, except for a few of his henchmen and Sun Dianying. Shi Yousan should know something, because the two had a relationship before, and Sun Dianying once helped Shi Yousan during his difficult times. This time, at Sun Dianying's request, the 26th Brigade was sent to southern Henan, and Sun Dianying promised to give him 200,000 oceans per month; Moreover, in the past six months, foreigners have often come to Zengjiazhai, and the 26th Brigade will also notice it. Sun Dianying has a rule for selling this batch of treasures: only buy foreigners, never sell them to Chinese. It is afraid that the treasure of tomb robbery will appear in the country and attract criticism. Sun Dianying is not worried about Shi Yousan's intention to see wealth, if it is something else, he will not be at ease, this wealth and gem Yousan will definitely not have bad intentions. Because, now Beiping is being tried by the military court with Shang Zhen as the chief judge on the order of Nanjing, and it is only because he has given away a large amount of treasures obtained from tomb robbery, and those people are unwilling to hand over the national treasures in their hands, so no one has touched him. Another reason is that he is now in the Central First Group Army, and the Nanjing side is sharpening its knives and wants to make a move against the Gui Department and others, so naturally he does not want to fight within himself, and Sun Dianying's new 10th Division has nearly 20,000 people. If Shi Yousan dares to snatch this treasure, it will immediately make the bigwigs in Nanjing, who have been attacked by public opinion, smile, and use Shi Yousan's guilt to prevaricate public opinion from all sides, which is very good.

At this time, the smoke and dust in the school yard at the foot of the mountain had dissipated. More than 1,000 people were bombarded by nearly 300 shells in the school yard, which was less than 300 meters long and only about 60 meters wide. At the moment, this place is simply Shura hell. There are more than 200 shells accurately landed in the school field, each shell can kill people near the landing site, especially the power of the 82 mortar is huge, almost all the people near its landing point are blown up, the stumps are all over the school yard, and even a severed hand flies straight to the second wall. A regiment of more than 1,000 people, now there are only about 400 people left, and almost all of them are wounded, like headless flies, crying wolves and ghosts scurrying around, looking for a place to hide. Among the bandits who were stunned by the shelling tragedy, it was not only someone who shouted, but the bandits immediately ran madly along the mountain road towards the second gate.

At this time, the 92 heavy machine guns on the small high ground began to shoot at the fleeing bandits. Although the firing range of the 92 heavy machine gun far exceeded 1,000 meters, after all, the distance was too far for accurate shooting at all, and the scattering area of the projectile impact point was thirty or forty meters at such a long distance. But even so, the rain of bullets that devoured the lives of the 8 92 heavy machine guns continued to sweep the bandits who fled like crazy on the way up the mountain. The mortars under the mountain have stopped firing, and it is indeed too wasteful to bombard three or four hundred bandits with hundreds of shells, and they themselves feel blushing without being said. Only 12 82 mortars on the small high ground were still unhurriedly chasing the fleeing crowd of bandits. In the end, there were less than 100 bandits who were able to escape into the second gate on their own, and there were more than 300 corpses of bandits lying on the long mountain road.

When the bandits fled to the mountain, Liu Yuru shouted to the remaining two regiment commanders, that is, the two battalion commanders he brought, and ordered them to immediately organize the bandits to enter the fortifications to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation to attack the mountain. There was a guard company that ordered him, and he arranged a team of supervisors behind the wall: "Take a step back and kill!" ”

Then, Liu Yuru ran back to the mountain with the guards herself. He wasn't cowardly or afraid of death, he asked for help, he knew that his thousands of bandits alone would not be enough to blow up the shells.

After a period of confusion on the mountain, the bandits gradually stabilized their positions, and more than a dozen 60mm mortars began to return fire on the small heights. Just a few shots, they were covered by dozens of shells whistling down the hill and on the small high ground, more than a dozen mortars were blown up, most of the shooters were killed, and the rest were far away, and no one dared to open fire.

By this time, the 1st and 2nd battalions had already occupied the first wall. The 82 mortars on the small high ground no longer bombarded at will, but accurately bombarded the bandit gathering area, pillboxes, and bunkers behind the second wall. Maximize the destruction of the bandits' living forces, destroy the fortifications, and prepare for the general offensive.

Huang Dafu, the commander of the first company hiding behind the first wall, looked at the battalion machine gun company that was still firing artillery on the small high ground with a jealous face, and said unwillingly: "Fuck, these rabbit cubs in the machine gun company are like shells don't need money, and if they continue to blow up like this, where will we still fight, and we can only collect the corpses of the bandits." The deputy company commander said with a smile: "The shells still cost money, but they didn't come out, they were all commanders." If you don't spend their money and don't blow up your fun, they won't stop. ”

The words of the deputy company commander drew laughter from the surrounding soldiers.
