169 Suddenly besieged

(There are too many things for the New Year, so the update is late, I hope you will be more considerate)

The three platoon commanders gathered around Qi Lei, and Qi Lei pointed at a few sleepy sentries with his hand, and whispered: "See the sentry?" There were five of them from east to west, and they were the few awake people in the clearing, and the first step of our attack was to kill them, and then quietly kill all the people in the clearing, and then touch the high ground. ”

"When attacking the sentry, I personally led a platoon to attack the easternmost sentry, and the second and third platoons attacked the rest of the sentry respectively, do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, and Qi Lei stretched out his hand and pulled out the bayonet, and said, "Okay, let's start acting." ”

After Qi Lei finished speaking, everyone dispersed and went in their own direction, Qi Lei personally went to kill the easternmost sentry, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the sentry, the stone fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of "pop".

The sentry was alarmed by the sound and took a few steps towards the place where Qi Lei was hiding, Qi Lei thought that he could walk into the woods in person, but he didn't expect the sentry to stop when he walked to the edge of the woods, looked into the woods for a while and then turned around, Qi Lei saw that the method of throwing stones could not lead him into the woods, so he decided to go out and kill him.

Qi Lei slowly pushed aside the bushes, quietly walked out, and suddenly sped up his pace when he was still more than ten meters away from the sentry, and came behind the sentry in an instant, the sentry subconsciously turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Qi Lei appear in front of him with a sharp knife in his hand, and he opened his mouth to shout.

Qi Lei stretched out his hand to block his mouth, raised his right hand, and stabbed the sharp knife deep into the sentry's heart, and the sentry screamed twice, and struggled a few times with his hands and feet, and after a while, he stopped moving.

Qi Lei gently put the body on the ground, and then saw that the soldiers of the other two platoons also killed the sentry, waved his hand into the woods, and the soldiers hidden in the woods came out one after another, each holding a sharp knife in his hand, and walked to the sleeping Spaniard, first stretched out his hand to gag his mouth, and then raised his knife to stab his heart, and killed dozens of Spaniards under the mountain in a short time.

As soon as Qi Lei raised his hand on the hillside, everyone approached the Spaniards who were resting on the hillside, the road up the mountain was very wide, the slope was not large, and the ground was pressed out by the gun carriage one after another, and the gun carriage was parked next to the rut prints, and the exhausted Spaniards leaned on the gun carriage and fell asleep, as well as horses and cows, who were more tired than people.

The Spaniards didn't notice that Qi Lei came up with people, but the horses noticed it, and several horses heard the footsteps of everyone, woke up from their sleep, and neighed softly, the horse's cry woke up several grooms, and the grooms raised their eyes, only to see a group of people wearing green striped military uniforms and holding sharp knives walking over, "soldiers of the Chinese Empire", a terrifying word jumped into the minds of the grooms, and the grooms suddenly screamed.

The screams woke up the surrounding Spanish soldiers, they woke up from their sleep, and when they saw Qi Lei, they went to touch the guns, in fact, this artillery had infantry guarding units, but the guard troops were mixed in the artillery, so Qi Lei and Xu Deping didn't find out, a soldier fired, and the gunfire made Qi Lei's whole body tremble.

Qi Lei instantly realized that it was impossible to sneak attack silently, and now he could only shoot, Qi Lei threw out the knife and stabbed a Spanish soldier to death, then took off the gun, aimed it at the Spaniards and fired, some of the bullets shot into the body of the Spanish soldier, and some of the bullets bounced off the cannon body to form a ricochet and hit the Spanish soldier.

Others also shot one after another, seeing that they were about to wipe out the Spaniards on the hillside, but at this time an accident happened, some bullets hit horses and cows, they ran down the mountain in panic, Qi Lei and everyone had to avoid, and they couldn't shoot for a while, the Spaniards took advantage of this time to wake up, hiding behind the artillery carriage to shoot back, Qi Lei hurriedly let everyone hide, and then glanced at the battlefield, and shouted: "Grenadier, action..."

A platoon commander hurriedly shouted: "Company commander, you can't use grenadiers, if the shell is detonated, we will be finished." ”

Qi Lei said: "The Spanish shells are piled up at the bottom of the mountain, and there are no shells in this place, so you can throw grenades with confidence." ”

The grenadier then threw out the grenades, one by one the grenades crossed the gun carriage and exploded next to the Spanish soldiers, who originally thought that they would not be hit if they hid behind the gun truck, but they did not expect that the grenades on the opposite side actually flew over the gun truck, and they were extremely frightened for a while, and their fighting spirit was completely lost, and they ran to the top of the mountain in a hurry.

Qi Lei waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush..."

The trumpeter blew a loud trumpet, and the sound of the trumpet reached the ears of the Spanish soldiers like a terrible cry, and the Spanish soldiers were immediately frightened and ran to the top of the hill.

The Spanish soldiers on the top of the high ground have just run to the top of the high ground, and the Spanish soldiers on the top of the high ground have dug a lot of artillery fortifications, this kind of artillery fortification is a semicircular shallow pit, because the Spanish field artillery does not have a recoiling machine, so the recoil when the shell is fired should be completely borne by the gun car, and the gun car will rush back for a distance, dig a shallow pit in the ground, and then put the gun in, which can reduce the backlash distance of the artillery.

The Spanish soldiers used these shallow pits as cover, and they all went in and shot at Qi Lei's people, and the great feats led by Qi Lei were caught off guard, and more than a dozen soldiers were knocked down, Qi Lei hurriedly retreated to the mountain road under the top of the mountain, and the bullets were still "whizzing" over the heads of Qi Lei.

Since its establishment, Dagong Yilian has participated in the Battle of Kotabato and the Battle of Liberation of Hele Island, the Battle of Liberation of Hele Island is the battle in which Lin Fei sent troops into Hele Island to expel the Spaniards after subduing the Sultan of Sulu Sultanate Yagurul.

Qi Lei was so angry in his heart, thinking that we were the company that Lin Fei personally awarded the honorary title, and we were crushed by a group of artillery under the hillside, and we lost our lives...

Qi Lei turned around and yelled at his subordinates: "What about the grenade group? Give it to Lao Tzu. ”

The soldiers of the grenade group rushed to the top of the hill with the grenade when they heard the order, and threw the grenade at the shallow pit of the Spaniards.

When the grenade crew saw the shallow pit of the cannon, they had the idea and threw the grenade very low so that the grenade could roll on the ground and roll into the shallow pit of the cannon, and then exploded inside, killing many Spaniards.

Seeing that it didn't work for the Spanish soldiers to hide in the shallow pit for artillery, the Spanish soldiers hurriedly escaped from the shallow pit and ran away from the mountain road on the other side.

This time, there was no need to blow the trumpet, the soldiers swarmed up and occupied the No. 1 high ground, Qi Lei pointed to the cannons with his hand, and said: "Your Majesty said, these cannons don't need to be kept, just blow them up, and after a while, everyone will open the tail door of the cannon and stuff a grenade into the medicine room, which is enough to blow it up." ”

Although the Spaniards' field artillery was very powerful, its mobility was too poor, so Lin Fei didn't plan to keep them, so he let Dagong blow them up directly.

When the Dagong Company blew up the artillery, Xu Deping began to lead his subordinates to reconnoiter the terrain, and found that the terrain here was completely capable of HP-2 howitzers.

Xu Deping asked people to report the reconnaissance results to Lin Fei, and at this time, the five field guns on the top of the mountain had all been stuffed with grenades that had opened the fuses, and the explosions of "boom, boom, boom" came and went.

The chamber is the place where the gun is loaded with propellant, and this place has to bear a lot of pressure of propellant, so the body tube is very thick, and the grenade may not be able to blow it up, but the shrapnel formed after the grenade explodes can explode countless cracks in the wall of the chamber, and the shell will definitely explode if it is fired again.

After blowing up the five howitzers, Qi Lei began to think about how to get rid of the five field guns that were blocked on the mountain road, the wheels of these five field guns were all sunk into the ground, and the horses and cattle of the Spaniards were scattered again, and it was impossible to push them down or up the mountain by manpower.

Qi Lei and Xu Deping were thinking hard about countermeasures, and suddenly there were neat footsteps in the distance, Xu Deping was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Where did the footsteps come from?" ”

Qi Lei's brows tightened, his face changed drastically, and he said: "The footsteps are coming from the east, and the Spaniards are in the east..."

At this moment, a warrior rushed up from the bottom of the hill and said breathlessly, "Report ...... Report...... Report Company Commander, East ...... A large number of Spanish troops appeared in the east..."

Qi Lei hurriedly asked, "How many are there?" ”

The soldier said: "At least five or six hundred, and two Maxim heavy machine guns. ”

Qi Lei thought for a moment and asked again, "How much time do they have left to get to us?" ”

The warrior replied, "At the speed of their march, it will take them ten minutes at most to get here." ”

Qi Lei exclaimed: "Ten minutes? How can it be so fast? ”

The warrior replied: "The enemy is coming on a run, and they seem to be in a hurry. ”

Qi Lei said in a deep voice: "We can't retreat in ten minutes, and it seems that we can only hold on to the top of the mountain." ”

Xu Deping was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You can't stick here, there are several ways up the mountain on this mountain, our number is already small, and if we divide our troops even less, if the enemy concentrates its forces to attack at a certain point, we can't stop it at all." ”

Qi Lei sighed and said: "We can't help it, the enemy army is coming too fast, we will encounter them as soon as we get off the mountain, and the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated is extremely high." ”

When Xu Deping heard this, a cloud of sadness floated on his face, and then Qi Lei said: "Staff Officer Xu, maybe there is another way now." ”
