At this time, the army did not have a series of equipment such as light machine guns, mortars, and flamethrowers, nor did they have the grenadiers and chemical grenades that they relied on to become famous, and even grenades were very rare, at least in the last encounter, Song Biao did not find that the army was equipped with grenades.

During the Russo-Russian War, grenades just began to be revived, at this time, in addition to the standard grenades of Britain and Germany, the grenades used in the battlefield of other countries were made on the spot, and the same was true for Russia, but they also imported some of them from Britain and Germany for key battles.

It was not until the Battle of Mukden in March next year that the army was equipped with British-style grenades on a large scale, and the imitation project was launched after the war.

The current army does not have the advantage of equipment, their advantage lies in the well-trained and well-organized surname, as well as the crazy will of non-commissioned officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, purely in terms of equipment, the Song family horse gang still occupies a great advantage, the problem is that it may not be able to play well, this is very similar to the Qing army, only has the advantage of equipment but can not be played.

After leaving from the mountains, Song Biao and Li Dahan took the first step to avoid the Yue army, and kept monitoring the troops of the Yue army and Liu Tongpao between the mountains.

The rabbit tail ditch is a three-pronged ditch, there are three forks, the west rabbit tail ditch is also called the front hole ditch, at the junction of the front hole ditch and the Gaoli ditch is a vertical 90 degrees of the mountain bend, enter the Gaoli ditch to face a front cave ridge, this ridge will squeeze the whole ravine only two hundred steps wide.

Zhao Tingzhu and Lao Jintou chose to face the enemy in front of Qiandongling, and when Song Biao caught up with them, they had already dragged the horse team to the back mountain to hide, the horse's eyes and ears were covered, and the mouth was tied, which was not easy to be discovered by the enemy.

On the eastern slope of Qiandongling, according to Song Biao's instructions in advance, the brothers of the Ma Gang dug a ring trench with a depth of one meter and two meters, and the soil at the slope was rammed very solidly, and then they dug a dodge and a second-line trench ten meters deep to the west to prevent the first trench from being lost.

Considering that the opponent had a Hatch Kais machine gun, Song Biao readjusted the position of the machine gun of the horse gang, and they used all four Makqin, two in the front and one in the south, and kept one for backup, so as to solve the problem that there were only a few people defending in the back and in the south.

Fewer people and more guns, this is the most obvious feature of the caravan nowadays, just in case, everyone is equipped with a Mosin Nagant rifle, plus a Winchester M1897 shotgun, at least half of them also have a Nagant revolver, and ten selected people are allocated four grenades each.

In order to make up for the lack of combat numbers, Zhao Tingzhu also communicated with the six wounded Russians and persuaded them to participate in the battle, and the second lieutenant named Tonokov was responsible for leading the team, making a frontal machine gun and a spare machine gun.

The four machine guns are very strong, the problem is that there is not enough ammunition, so they can only save a little.

When it was getting late and the sun was shining, Yang Tiesheng and the others also came back to join together, and the enemy army was only more than a mile away from them, Song Biao called everyone over, continued to draw a map of the surrounding terrain on the snow, and instructed everyone: "Our large team is guarding here, don't use machine guns too early, hide part of your strength, and lure the Yue army to rush up, once the army and the bandits' troops rush up, you can use machine guns at a position of about two hundred meters, and when you reach seventy-five meters in front of you, you will all be replaced with shotgun salvos, They are running from the bottom up, the speed will not be very fast, seventy-five meters also takes five or six seconds, which is enough for us to hit two shotguns in a row, or even three times, as long as the opponent is not hundreds of people rushing up together, even if it is thirty people against two hundred, the power of the shotgun can also defeat the opponent, the grenade should be within fifty meters, according to your own practice, but I personally feel that everyone's use of grenades is still unstable, so be cautious in use. ”

Everyone nodded silently.

Song Biao continued: "Don't panic, everyone, although the enemy has more than 400 people, we have an absolute advantage in firepower, and this point is likely to be underestimated by the enemy. Tiezi, you take four men around the north slope, you have to shoot in advance, induce them to misjudge, if they rush towards the north slope, they will arrange the wrong formation, completely exposing the left flank to our range. You have to take the brothers to find a suitable cover, absolutely do not fall in love, your task is to distract the opponent, in addition to making the opponent arrange the wrong formation as much as possible, be sure to drag out part of the opponent's strength, drag it into the mountains to fight guerrillas, run as you fight, go around in a circle and then come to our side. ”

Yang Tiesheng nodded and said, "I know." ”

Seeing that the time is almost up, standing on the hillside, you can already see the combined force composed of the army and the bandits, Song Biao asked everyone to prepare, the horse gang is still three teams, he and Zhao Tingzhu are in charge of the frontal battlefield, and Zhang Yahu is in charge of the south and west, and there are only six people in their hands.

In the vast snowy mountains, the dark blue military uniforms of the Yue army were easy to identify, which surprised Song Biao a little, they were in the front, and Liu Tongcang's bandit team was responsible for scattering on both sides, searching the mountains and fields on both sides.

The woods and snowfields had a very good concealment effect on the soldiers, and several sentinels and bandit troops sent by the army did not find the ambush point, until their large force was less than two hundred meters away from Qiandongling, and one of the caravan brothers was too nervous to shoot in advance, which slightly exposed the line a little early. Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Tiesheng was also forced to shoot in advance, luring the opponent with more and more urgent gunshots.

At this time, Song Biao had already seen very clearly that the squadron leader of the infantry squadron of the Yue Army had the rank of lieutenant of the Yue Army, and he was very young, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with an arrogant demeanor and a very powerful murderous aura. The moment he heard the gunshots, the squadron leader of the army showed a hideous sneer, showing an unusually excited state.

Zhukov once said that the characteristics of the army are that soldiers and non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level are brave and fanatical in combat, while middle and high-level generals, especially those who shout golden keys, are very stupid.

Looking at the fanatical expression of the squadron leader in the face of this battle, Song Biao realized that this nation had been completely distorted, just like a martial arts master who practiced evil skills, and there was no way to save it.

He didn't kill this man with his marksmanship, because the battle had just begun, and the loss of a squadron leader would not immediately lead to the rout of the army, and maybe it would also have some bizarre oolong effect, but for the bandits, it was a different matter.

Liu Tongcang's bandit troops were divided into three groups, Liu Tongcang, Yang Sandiao, and Niu Sihuzi each led a team, and Yang Sandiao was very excited to lead the team directly to the direction of Yang Tiesheng's northern slope, which was the opposite of Eryang.

Yang Tiesheng only brought four people, and his troops were extremely weak.

Song Biao was confident in his marksmanship, although he was two hundred and thirty meters away from Yang Sandiao, he did not change to a more confident SVD rifle, and directly used the zero three rifle to lock Yang Sandiao, who was directing his brother upward, in the scope, and fired two shots in a row to result in this person.

In other words, even snipers on the battlefield are mostly aimed at targets within 200 meters, the key is to improve the hit rate, to ensure that a shot is deadly, and a distance of 300 meters may not be true for professional snipers.

The battlefield has not yet entered the white heat, Yang Tiesheng's shooting attracted more than forty bandits to the past, the guns on both sides rang out indiscriminately, the Yue army was not attracted to the past, they began to set up positions in an orderly manner, by carrying stones and digging earth and snow to try to build a simple fortification, but in the wrong direction.

After feeling that the army was unlikely to be fooled, Song Biao quietly turned over to Zhao Tingzhu's position, signaled him and the machine gunners of the Mabang team to get out of the way, and personally made a Makqin machine gun to aim at the Yue army about 200 meters.

Song Biao aimed at this defensive line and directly gave the opponent a fierce firepower first.

The trigger hooked down in a split second.

Dada-da.

The continuous sound of machine guns was like the most piercing noise in an instant, and suddenly burst out on the battlefield, as if it was the wolf howl of death, and the improvised fortifications about 60 meters long that the soldiers were building became Song Biao's aiming line, sweeping all the way from beginning to end.

War is like this, there will always be strange things you don't expect, and Song Biao can't figure out how the squadron leader's fortification tutorial was learned.

Song Biao is a killer, not a teacher, he doesn't care how his opponent learned at the Yueben Army Non-commissioned Officer School, his machine gun bullets suddenly burst out, hundreds of high-speed warheads swept vertically across a line, just like a fighter jet's dive ray, more than a dozen soldiers were shot in an instant, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

The squadron leader was also almost hit, and in panic he hurriedly ordered the machine gunner to turn the muzzle of the gun and aim at the front of Qiandongling, and asked more than 100 soldiers of the two squads to quickly adjust the direction of attack, disperse into a fan against Qiandongling, deploy separately according to squads and squads, and cross fire at each other to cover the advance.

A cluster of machine gun fire opened the formal battle, and the battle was quickly pushed to the ground, and all the brethren on the caravan line began to shoot at the target, although it took a while for everyone to aim before they could fire a shot, and the rate and accuracy of the fire were not as good as the uncovered soldiers, but those bullets still had a deterrent effect on the human psyche, crackling in the woods and on the rocky beach, stimulating people's fear of death.

Once the battle officially began, the gap between Song Biao's caravan team and the regular army was immediately reflected, even if the caravan occupied a good geographical advantage and perfect fortifications, it had also experienced a period of shooting training, and there was also a heavy machine gun intermittent strafing, and the army could still suppress the caravan by relying on the cover fire of two squads.

The soldiers of the army not only shot more accurately, but also faster and more skillfully, and the dense bullets shuttled in the air, crackling around the fortifications, and bursts of snow waves shot out one after another, and dozens of brothers in the horse gang did not dare to raise their heads.

Song Biao thought for a while, but still decided to keep only one machine gun shooting intermittently, he quickly handed the machine gun back to others, and deliberately patted Zhao Tingzhu's shoulder to signal him to continue to refuel, and then found a new position to lie down, and found a new target in the scope for accurate shooting.

The machine gunners of the Yue army had dug an improvised single pit to set up their Hatch Kais machine guns and fired back at the exposed caravan line, and Song Biao also locked on to them almost at the same time, firing three shots in succession, killing both the machine gunner and the ammunition supplier.

At the same time that the army was responsible for attacking the front, Liu Tongcang also outflanked from the outside with more than 100 bandits, and the level of the two sides could be seen clearly at once, Liu Tongcang's side was blindly pressed up, and he hurriedly found a tree to hide as soon as the gunfire rang out, and then refused to show his head, and the army was under the orders of the grassroots non-commissioned officers and the army commander to continue to cross forward, and continued to suppress the fire of the horse gang.
