112: Gradual retraction

Brother Mao went back and told his cousin that we don't need to say much, Deng Shifeng didn't expect them to make much trouble, to use a not very nice word to describe it, that is, they should be dispensable existence, so Brother Mao, it is not strange that they have no movement, it is really an unexpected surprise to help the mountain village take the Gutian Institute, Deng Shifeng and the attack team of the mountain village have long been prepared for this.

Just after noon the next day, the last group of reinforcements from the mountain village and the bridgehead appeared on the temporary attack camp, Qin Er with this group of nearly 300 people has almost evacuated all the men in the mountain village, and even the senior group of students in the school also pulled over to make up the number, considering that the mountain village has been almost undefended, Qin Eryi did not stop pulling the last few artillery pieces over, plus the artillery brought in front, The artillery used in this attack reached eleven guns, and the arrival of these people and weapons and equipment not only greatly increased the confidence of the mountain village's attack, but also greatly damaged the morale of the resistance on the opposite side......

As long as he is not blind, anyone can see the soldiers in a row on the mountain, in order to increase the psychological pressure on the people inside, Deng Shifeng let the large and small eleven artillery pieces bombard several military watchtower posts, tulou bunkers and city walls in such a round, this can not only increase the pressure of the opponent's civil strife, but also kill these military points to facilitate the flight of many people tonight......

"Shi Feng, are you sure you can take the Gutian Institute?"

Although he had already known the battle plan and Deng Shifeng's determination, seeing the relatively complete military defense system of Gutian Institute and the chaos of so many people, Qin Er still felt a little hairy in his heart. However, as a high-level person in the mountain village, he naturally knows very well what kind of benefits and benefits will be brought to the mountain village after taking the Gutian Institute, and he also knows what kind of consequences will be brought to the mountain village in case of failure.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle Qin, have you seen that I have done something that I am not sure of?"

Deng Shifeng used his signature smile to inject such a trace of confidence into Qin Er, Deng Shifeng didn't explain much, now that the people have pulled out, the cannons have been set up, and they belong to the state of having to send arrows on the string, no matter what, anything that affects morale Deng Shifeng will not allow it, he can only eat Gutian with a hard head, in the words of a great man in later generations, that is, this battle is a pot of raw rice, fewer people beat more people, but no matter how many sandwiched lives, the mountain village must also eat with a hard neck!

One afternoon, Deng Shifeng and Luo Dan didn't let all the militiamen and young men from the mountain village be idle, since the people have been pulled out, let them feel the atmosphere of the war on the spot, and the learning effect in actual combat is much better than the training in the training ground in Pingyueli, those military households in Gutian can quickly learn to bow their heads and lie down to avoid bullets, are these militia guards who have received a certain amount of primary education even more stupid than those military households? !

With this intention, Deng Shifeng and they let all the militia and guards form a team, under the cover of the infantry, repeatedly train formation changes and live ammunition shooting, the venue is not a training ground but directly to the periphery of the Gutian Institute, and the real sword and gun are facing those city walls and the defenders who shoot out sporadic arrows from time to time for training, at first the soldiers of the Gutian Institute were extremely nervous, but when they found out that the other party was just using their own training, they only continued to fire outside the city wall and did not pay attention to it...... It's not lazy, but who wants to bother to stick their heads out and experience the luck of being shot by a row of guns!

As soon as it was dark that night, when the prisoners and villagers who followed over began to continue the psychological shouting war, they found a lot of people from the Gutian Institute, these people were the people who were said to be tempted by Deng Shifeng, considering that these people were likely to be mixed with fine work, Luo Dan sent a platoon of soldiers to guard it, but as time went by, as Deng Shifeng said, there were more and more people coming out of the Gutian Institute, so many that Luo Dan had to continuously send more people to ensure safety, During the peak period at ten o'clock in the evening, even groups of fleeing people began to appear from inside!

Among these people, Brother Mao's cousin is not among them, but there is a cousin's family, which is what Deng Shifeng and Brother Mao said yesterday, if the other party agrees to do internal response in it, then you can send your family out first, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, you will take care of her family; This practice is actually a disguised hostage mortgage, and the other party understands this. And in addition to his cousin's family, there are about more than ten families in it, and Brother Mao, as the liaison between the two sides, was sent to Deng Shifeng for the first time after bringing people here to tell the situation inside.

The situation in the Gutian military fort is very bad now, it is now divided into several factions, a group of people are determined to follow the official, these people will undoubtedly fight to the end with the ranks of the mountain village, from the perspective of personnel composition, most of them are officers and cronies who follow them, and those with vested interests are certainly unwilling to change anything to endanger their interests, which is the same in this era and in future generations; There is also a group of people who plan to take refuge in the mountain villages, most of them are military household personnel living at the bottom, and the military households are living a very hard life, even more bitter than ordinary people, and now that there is a glimmer of new hope, these people will naturally not let go. However, a large part of these people belong to the kind of wavering elements who are indecisive, and it is better to say that they have not made up their minds...... That is, I am going to wait and see what happens and which side can win...... Deng Shifeng didn't ask much for this kind of irresolute element, this kind of intermediate force is often the target of the two sides at the same time, but now everyone is chaotic and has no time to pay attention to them, and these people will not pay any price after they really take it, but the benefits and benefits they can get...... That's naturally much less than Brother Mao's people......

As for Brother Mao's cousin, there are not many people who are willing to contribute and plan to take advantage of the chaos, and so far they have found more than ten families, that is, those opportunists who sent their families out. This is indeed a little less, but this kind of thing can't be publicized everywhere with great fanfare, and it is necessary to work quietly, and more than a dozen people can be pulled out in a day...... In fact, Brother Mao's cousin is already a bit capable......

However, as for what weapons and equipment Brother Mao wanted, Deng Shifeng refused the other party, not because he was afraid that the other party would attack him with these weapons, but because he was afraid that these people would be bold and reckless in what kind of moth they would come out to destroy their overall plan; Besides, guns and weapons are not used by the other party without training, and grenades are explosives, not to mention that ordinary people are afraid, even their own soldiers need a certain amount of training and psychological adjustment to adapt......

For Deng Shifeng's refusal, Brother Mao didn't show too much emotion, those things are really good, if you beat someone, you will be killed, and if you blow someone up, you will be disabled, and it is normal for such a powerful weapon not to be given to yourself who has not yet surrendered your name, with Deng Shifeng's instructions and promises, Brother Mao sneaked back to the military station.

The next day, that is, the fourth day of the attack on Gutian, Deng Shifeng began to shell the main military facilities of Gutian according to the predetermined plan, because he had already "informed" the other party and those military households and civilians by shouting in advance, the shelling did not cause any casualties, but the damage to the building was extremely huge, and eleven artillery solid shells, flowering shells and even shotguns and various shells took turns to go into battle, under the guidance of Huang Shicheng, the chief artillery instructor, The militia, guards, and artillerymen who were used as artillery guns used this day to carry out a rare actual combat exercise, and the eleven artillery pieces bombarded more than 200 shells in one day, which was one-third of the amount of ammunition prepared for the expedition!

The result of the consumption of so many shells was the destruction of a section of the city wall built by the opponent out of earthen embryos, most of the military lookout posts, and military fixed buildings that could be reached by the naked eye; Through this day's shelling, the artillery team's artillery skills were not only greatly improved, but the student team and the technicians in the iron factory who followed also had an intuitive understanding of some deficiencies in the artillery.

At present, the seven-centimeter caliber small mountain gun equipped in the mountain village belongs to the second generation of products after weight reduction, and the entire seat wheel and frame are only 140 kilograms; Although the entire artillery mount can be directly towed or even added to the horse, it can also be disassembled and transported on the mountain road with manpower or animal power, but due to the recoil and the length of the frame, the small mountain cannon can not be erected in a narrow place to use, like the last battle in the chabao, the city wall and walled wall with insufficient thickness can not be erected and used and cannot give full play to the power of the artillery, which is a great waste of resources in the battle; Based on the opinions of the artillerymen, as well as the conditions and power performance in actual combat, the technicians of the ironworks had to find a way to improve the practicality and adaptability of the artillery, so that it could be used in all kinds of environments.

The shock brought by the one-day shelling to the people inside was greater than that of the previous two days, after all, the sporadic shelling in the first two days did not last long, and today's all-day shelling made everyone suffer under the roar of artillery, the whistling sound of shells flying by, and all kinds of explosions, piercing, collapsing, etc., although those flowery soldiers said that they would only hit military targets, but who knows if it will be crooked or something will go wrong......

By the end of the night, more people had escaped from the station, and the shelling of the day had made many hesitant people understand in the face of reality that they could only wait for death if they stayed here!

And Brother Mao and his cousin also took advantage of the opportunity of this day's shelling to quietly contact a new batch of risk-taking speculators, which were wrapped in the trap of Gutian Institute, and with the progress of Deng Shifeng's plan, they were tightening little by little......
