Chapter 15: The End of the Bandits (Part II)

"Big boss, no, the officers and soldiers are here." A bandit hurried into the cottage and shouted to a pockmarked man sitting in the middle of the hall. This man is the leader of the bandits, Wang Hezi." What their officers and soldiers, how did the officers and soldiers come back here." Wang Haozi looked incredulous." It's like, isn't it your kid who is wrong?" The one who answered was the three masters of the bandits." The big boss, the three masters, I really read it right, there are 400 people at least, wearing military uniforms, you can see it clearly from a distance."" Big brother, it seems to be true, now that the second master has brought out all the power in the village, what should we do." The third master saw that little minion with a serious face, not like a fake." Have you noticed that it is the officers and soldiers of that county town" Wang Haozi did not answer the words of the three masters, but asked the little minions who came to report the news. When I go back to the big boss, I look like I am all fresh, not like the officers and soldiers in the county town." The three masters: "The big boss, I think if the county town comes to suppress the bandits, it will not only send a few hundred people, they all know that there are more than 1,000 people in our village."" Makes sense." After speaking, he asked the little minions: "What kind of equipment are those people, and do they have spray canisters or artillery?" When I went back to the big boss, I didn't see it, but one rifle per person."

As a rare mountain with a radius of tens of kilometers, coupled with its dense forests, it forms a natural barrier invisibly. There is a very important reason why the bandits have been able to hover in this area for so long, and that is the cautiousness shown by the boss Wang Hezi all the time. The development of more than ten years is because of his prudence again and again, so that the entire bandit den can easily escape the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and continue to grow and develop.

At this moment, although he has become the overlord of a party with more than 1,000 people, he has the strength to make the officers and soldiers around Tiger Mountain fearful. However, as the big boss, Wang Hezi still does not change his previous caution. According to the previous military habits, a large number of light and dark sentinels were deployed around the cottage day and night. At the same time, he also uses the contacts and intelligence network he has accumulated over the past ten years to constantly listen to the news and intelligence that may be dangerous to him within a radius of dozens of kilometers....

The long marching column of several hundred people in the first battalion of the security regiment could not hide the eyes and ears of the surrounding bandits. The soldiers of the first battalion have not yet arrived at the Tiger Mountain Pass, and Wang Hezi, as the big boss, knows it clearly.

After learning that the number of officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress was only a few hundred, and there were no heavy weapons, his heart was completely relaxed, and he looked at the dozen or so leaders in the Juyi Hall with a smile on his face and asked: "Everyone, a team of hundreds of officers and soldiers came to attack my Tiger Mountain, and now there are more than 500 people left in the village, and I don't know when the second child will come back. Let's talk about it, what should we do? ”

"Dog days, hundreds of people dare to come to our Tiger Mountain, I don't think they plan to go back alive. Great master, you give me three hundred brothers, and I promise to wipe out these hundreds of people in the mountain pass, and not let them step into my Tiger Mountain...."The third master stood up directly from his seat and assured with a confident face.

"Okay, the three masters really deserve to be a soldier, dare to be, and have domineering....I'll give you three hundred people, and transfer the only three earthen cannons in our cottage to you, and destroy all these officers and soldiers who dare to underestimate my Tiger Mountain." At the same time, through this battle of annihilation, let the officers and soldiers outside the mountain know that the bandits in our Tiger Mountain are not so easy to bully...."For the officers and soldiers who did not have heavy weapons, Wang Haozi did not hesitate at all, and directly nodded in agreement.

In his eyes, his three hundred battle-hardened bandits, plus three earthen cannons, are home again. Even against twice the size of his own officers and soldiers.

However, what he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers he encountered were all warlord troops with backward equipment, and now they are well-equipped security regiment soldiers.

The three hundred bandits, under the command of the three masters, directly took advantage of the favorable terrain around Tiger Mountain and quickly built a simple defense line. At the same time, the fighters of the security regiment, led by the captured bandits, appeared in front of them.

As soon as Chen Shao stood less than a kilometer away from the enemy's blocking position, a soldier rushed towards Chen Shao at a gallop, and then stopped steadily in front of Li Guosheng.

"Report to the regiment commander, the one kilometer ahead is the enemy's blocking position....After my preliminary reconnaissance, the enemy's total strength is about 300 men, each with a rifle, and the heavy equipment that can be seen includes a total of 5 light machine guns, a Makqin heavy machine gun, and 3 earthen cannons. In addition, the enemy's blocking position was built only on the basis of the terrain, and no trenches were dug...."One of the soldiers of a squad who had already arrived in advance around Tiger Mountain reported with a serious face when he saw the situation of the three hundred bandits arranging the position.

"Okay, good job, your class continues to disperse and investigate. In addition, a platoon of soldiers of a battalion and a company was ordered to act as scouts, responsible for chasing down the fish that might slip through the net during the entire encirclement and suppression battle. There are also orders that the artillerymen and machine gunners in the back can come and join us," Chen Shao nodded appreciatively. Immediately, a serious order was given. It turned out that Chen Shao ordered the machine gunners and artillery platoon to be left behind, so that they could be used as their own hole cards, and sure enough, the bandits were fooled. Otherwise, the king would not have divided his army.

"Yes, Captain..."

Looking at the communication soldiers who were leaving quickly, Chen Shao immediately set his eyes on Kong Wenhong beside him, and ordered: "Wenhong, let people notify all the company platoon commanders to come over quickly for a meeting, our security regiment is going to have a meat meeting..."

"Yes, Commander...."

---------------------

"Order, mountain artillery platoon, immediately 5 minutes of firing at the bandits' front-line positions ... The second platoon and three platoons of the first company, during the artillery fire, immediately moved forward and directly advanced the offensive line to a distance of a hundred meters from the first-line positions of the bandits ... Gather all the grenades, and if you find a light and heavy machine gun fire point where the bandits have not been eliminated, they must be cleared... After the artillery was over, under the cover of heavy machine guns, the fighters of the second platoon and the third platoon immediately attacked the bandit line positions in platoons, crushing their resistance mentality, and completely annihilating the remaining two bandits..."

"Yes..."

"Boom....", set up on the artillery position not far away, six 75mm mountain guns let out a burst of roars.

The power generated by the explosion of the 75mm mountain artillery shell, in addition to the deafening explosion, almost every shell explosion can blow up a crater more than one meter deep in the bandit position. As for the crater, all living creatures within a radius of five meters, including soldiers, were either directly torn to pieces or shocked to death...

Large-caliber shells, as if they didn't need money, fell on the positions one after another. In less than a minute, the entire position was completely enveloped in gunsmoke, and the three earthen guns and several machine guns were directly covered in pieces of iron filings in front of 75-mm shells, like toys.

The 75mm mountain artillery directly blew up the bandits on the position. How could they have seen such a fierce shelling, and suddenly they lay on their positions with their ears covered, and more than half of the bandits who shelled 300 people in 5 minutes were killed.

The rain of bullets and the thick smoke that hung over the surface of the position after the shelling. There were more than 100 bandits left in the company, and when their vision was completely blocked by the smoke of gunpowder, they couldn't see the situation in front of them at all.

Listening to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer to him in front of the position, there was no way for the bandits. He could only shrink his head, raise the rifle in his hand, and release one empty gun after another at the outside of the position.

"Boom, boom...."

At the moment when the bandits' vision was completely obscured by the smoke of gunpowder, the two infantry platoons of the first battalion and one company had successfully assaulted forward at a distance of twenty meters. As for the thirty meters left in front of him, there was no surprise that he went directly into the optimal throwing range of the grenade.

Dozens of veterans who have been trained for half a year will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity in the face of such a good opportunity. Threw a second round of grenades directly at the nearby bandit positions ...

More than sixty grenades, with a whistling sound, directly crossed the distance of thirty meters and fell into the bandits' positions as accurately as raindrops. With a steady stream of grenade explosions, the sound began to sound on the bandit position, and the screams of the bandits one after another also reached everyone's ears.

The bandit position, which was baptized by more than 60 grenades, was directly blown up on their backs without digging any trenches, and they lost the ability to resist. Of course, even those bandits who were lucky enough not to be injured, at this moment, couldn't help but look at the tragic scene around them with a stunned face, and they forgot their mission for a moment, forgetting that they were on the battlefield, and the enemy's bullets could kill them at any time...

However, in a moment of their stunnedness, the soldiers of a battalion and two infantry platoons easily rushed in front of them....a few light machine guns, in front of the bandits who were close at hand, immediately exerted their powerful melee power.

A series of dense strafing sounds sounded on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, and the dense bullets rained down on the blocking positions held by the bandits. Suddenly, the bandits, who were still in shock, were completely beaten into a hornet's nest before they had time to make any reaction

"Ah....officers and soldiers rushed up... Run for your life, run away..."

"Run away, the officers and soldiers are killed...."

Seeing the unstoppable and murderous soldiers in front of him, and seeing the former colleagues who were blurred with flesh and blood around him. This group of bandits could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts. Running straight to the rear of the position, wanting to get out of this hellish battlefield as soon as possible.

"It's over... It's over, it's all over...."Looking at the hundred remnants of the army that broke out in the blink of an eye, the three masters muttered to themselves with a desperate face while being depressed.

"Three masters, we're not done yet. As long as the troops are in hand, we can mix everywhere we go....Judging from the combat effectiveness displayed by the officers and men, this time we can be regarded as hitting a hard bone. Now to go back, it's no different than to die... The three masters, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no material to burn, let's retreat with the troops immediately, run as far as we can...."A henchman standing beside the three masters hurriedly comforted.

"Yes, you're right. We can't go back to the cottage. Quick, gather the brothers immediately, gather as many as you can, we will break through from the flanks and prepare to retreat...."The three masters who reacted, for the sake of their own lives, hurriedly ordered.

"Yes, the three masters...."

When the three masters quickly moved to the flank with the dozens of bandits they had just gathered, they did not deviate or obliquely, and they happened to collide with a platoon of the first company in charge of the roundabout. Suddenly, a sudden encounter broke out.

Although the three masters have an absolute advantage in terms of troops. However, the morale of its troops, after the rout just now, has fallen to the lowest point, dozens of people, only the last bit of escape is left.

On the other hand, a platoon of more than 40 people in the security regiment is not only well-equipped, but more importantly, the morale of the troops is high. Especially after hearing the continuous gunfire on the battlefield, everyone screamed and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Now, he finally encountered an enemy, and more than 40 officers and soldiers were excited, without the slightest hesitation, and directly collided with the remnants of Sun Yifang with the most fierce firepower.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 bandits who rushed to the front fell in the barren mountains and mountains covered in blood under the harvest of such intensive firepower. As for the rest, once again they were frightened by the tragic battle situation in front of them, and they didn't even have the courage to resist. Without waiting for the greeting from the three masters, he turned around directly and fled in the other direction.

In the face of the security regiment's encirclement on all sides, the dozens of bandits who rushed left and right on the small battlefield only lasted less than 10 minutes, and the total strength was directly reduced to a few people. Even their three masters died on the way to the assault.

The final result was no surprise, several remnants of bandits who had lost their sharpness and morale, faced with the muzzles of the surrounding black holes, directly knelt down and surrendered, becoming prisoners of war of the security regiment....

As for the entire war of annihilation, it also ended with the complete victory of the security regiment with the surrender of the enemy ...
