One of Li Yanping's regiments was approaching the defensive position of the militia at this time, and the Dian army did not attack immediately at this time, and set up only four mortars under the three slopes, which were all sold by Chen Shao.

Under the shouts of the commander of the Dian Army, four mortars flew towards the militia position one by one, but the accuracy was not good, and some of them deviated from the shelling target.

After seeing that the other party had a mortar, Da Niu immediately ordered the people below to pay attention to concealment.

After a burst of artillery bombardment, a battalion of Dian troops rushed upward.

After seeing that the other side had stopped shelling, Da Niu shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is about to start attacking, and when my guns are fired, they will be put close to me." ”

Looking at the Dian army getting closer and closer, Da Niu unconsciously clenched the handle of the gun, and at this time his palms were already sweating a lot because of nervousness. Seeing the Dian army in the distance getting closer and closer, his heart beat faster and faster.

Seeing that the position had not yet been reflected, the attacking Yunnan army camp was much bolder, and the speed of the charge became faster and faster.

When they could see each other's faces, Da Niu shouted "hit", and then shot a Dian army's head through a hole. At this time, Da Niu had forgotten his nervousness, and he felt that he suddenly became very calm when the gun rang out.

After the big guns rang out, the militia of a battalion in the front line also began to shoot, and the bullets of the 38 big cover flew towards the Dian army one by one. A heavy machine gun and two light machine guns also fired rows of bullets from the position.

The dozens of Dian troops who rushed to the front were torn apart by bullets at once, and some of the Dian troops behind who could not dodge also followed in their footsteps. At this time, the battalion commander of the Yunnan military camp shouted: "Get down, aim and hit." ”

In this way, the two armies began to shoot at each other, and the militia took advantage of the protection of the trenches, but the marksmanship of the Dian army was a little better, and the scene fell into a stalemate for a while, and the casualties on both sides were about the same.

The militia soldiers were very nervous at first, and many of them did not know where the bullets were fired, but as time went on, more and more militia began to master the rhythm of shooting, and the casualties of the militia gradually decreased.

But the Dian army was not so optimistic, and there were more and more casualties. The commander of the Dian Army below saw that the attack of one of his battalions was not going well, and immediately sent his second battalion up. And call the mortars to start shelling.

The reinforcements of the Dian army and a new round of artillery bombardment caused many casualties to the militia group at once, and a battalion in front of the position slowly moved up with the help of artillery fire. It may be that those few Dian troops are a little weak, and a shell falls in the Dian army, and the Dian troops around those bullet impact points are directly killed, and they have no trenches to dodge shrapnel. Seeing that the shells were so short-sighted, the commander of the Dian Army immediately ordered the artillery to stop the shelling.

As soon as the artillery stopped, a battalion on the uphill slope began to get up and rush upward, and at this time they were still less than thirty meters away from the militia position. Just as they were about to take out their grenades, the militia in the position had already begun to drop their grenades. One grenade after another exploded in the crowd, the merciless shrapnel penetrated the body of the Dian army, and the three machine guns that did not stop, the entire Dian army suddenly suffered heavy casualties. Before waiting for the order, the Dian army that ran in front retreated, and those behind saw the front retreating, and also retreated, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, with the help of the second battalion that came up behind, the battalion commander stabilized the troops. At this time, the forward battalion of the Yunnan army had already suffered one-third of the casualties, and the battalion commander had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

The Dian army suffered many casualties, but the militia did not have a good time, with nearly 100 casualties. Looking at the comrades-in-arms who were eating, drinking and joking together before, now they are separated by yin and yang, and many soldiers of the militia group have an indescribable sadness, and many tears have fallen.

After feeling the emotions of his subordinates, Da Niu stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, I am sorry for you, but you think about it, why did you come to be a soldier in the first place. It's not for the parents at home, it's for the villagers who are oppressed by the landlords and bullies. I also feel very sad about the death of these brothers, but we must turn our grief and anger into strength, and we must rely on ourselves to create a harmonious world, where there will be no landlords, no oppression, no lack of food, no lack of clothing. I, Da Niu, am here to assure you that as long as we hold out until the reinforcements of the Gui army arrive, the victory will be ours, and when the time comes, our family will live like the people of Liangguang, with little learning and old support. ”

In fact, at this time, Da Niu didn't know whether the Gui army would come to help him, but for these troops, as long as they were given a hope, they would have succeeded.

At this time, a soldier from a militia regiment ran over: "Report, regiment commander, Guijun calls, in an hour, a regiment of Gui will arrive here, and they will immediately send the air force to help us." ”

Da Niu suddenly grabbed the soldier who came to report and asked, "Really." ”

"It's true, and several regiment commanders in Fulin County know that they are organizing a lot of people to pave the road, and I heard that Guijun is going to come by truck."

"Haha,..." Da Niu let go of his hand and laughed a few times, and then shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, move all the heavy guys to the front, I want to give the Dian army an unforgettable lesson, tell them that our militia also has goods." ”

This news was a timely rain for the militia group, which made the morale of the soldiers who were still lost suddenly high. He had heard a lot about how powerful and awesome the regiment commander was about Gui Jun, and now that he could finally fight with Gui Jun, how could he not excite them!

The two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns that had been placed in the back were moved to the front, and a large number of grenades and bullets were also carried out in boxes. Da mobilized another battalion and replaced the battalion that had fought before.

At this time, the commander of the Dian Legion was training the three battalion commanders under him, but before he could get over the addiction of the commander, Li Yanping arrived, and as soon as they met, he split his head and asked: "What about you, why haven't you taken the militia position yet?" ”

"Division, it's not that I don't work hard, more than half of the battalion that attacked me just now was killed or wounded, and it didn't rush into the opponent's position." The head of the regiment pretended to be very aggrieved and said.

"I don't care, I'll give you another chance, this time I will call the artillery battalion to support you, if you can't take the opposite position again, don't come to see me in the future." Li Yanping said with some unhappiness.

"Yes, you are optimistic about the master." The head of the regiment said with some excitement.

"Let me see how you perform."

The so-called artillery battalion consisted of only six 75mm field guns and eight mortars. The field artillery is old, and I don't know how long it has been used, but the mortar is better, and it was just recently bought from the Gui family.

At this moment, a signal soldier ran over: "Report to the division, the overseer has called and said that this battle must be resolved as soon as possible, and the Gui family has declared war on us, telling us to be ready to meet the Gui army at any time." ”

Li Yanping immediately snatched the telegram from the signal corps' hand and read it, and after reading it, he directly said to the regiment commander beside him: "When the artillery finishes building the position, attack immediately, press all your regiments up, and you must give me the shortest possible time to take Fulin." ”

"Yes, Master, I'll go and prepare right away." After speaking, the regiment commander hurriedly ran to his troops.

Li Yanping read the telegram in his hand again and cursed secretly. The last thing he wants to meet now is the Gui family, look at the soldiers under his command, which soldier's weapon was not bought from the Gui family, if he really touches the other party, then he still has a chance to win? At this time, he didn't dare to think about the wealth of the Gui family, let alone himself, even the overseer Tang Jiyao didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke the Gui family, not to mention himself, his life was gone, and no matter how much money he had, it would be useless.

Li Yanping remembered that when he was a bandit in Guangxi, he was surrounded and suppressed by Chen Shao's security regiment, and the sound of cannons and machine guns still appeared in his mind from time to time. Fortunately, he ran fast at the time, otherwise his life would have been lost. A few years ago, the security regiment was so powerful, and the bandits in the entire Guangxi were all killed by the security regiment, and he didn't believe that the other party would become weaker after a long time. At this time, he can only hope that he will not meet Gui Jun here, if he really does, then... Thinking of this, Li Yanping felt a cool breeze blowing on his back, and couldn't help but shiver.

A cannon sound came from behind him, interrupting Li Yanping's train of thought, picking up the binoculars and looking at the opposite position, the countless dust kicked up by the shells, leaving craters on the ground. Such a picture calmed Li Yanping's heart a lot, and his troops were still very powerful, at least in his opinion.

The shelling lasted only two minutes, and this was not Li Yanping's order, but there were not many shells, so it was necessary to save a little. At that time, it will also attack Fulin County, and the help of artillery will be indispensable.

After the shelling, the Dian Corps, under the leadership of the regiment commander, rushed directly to the position of the militia.

The fighters of the militia group hid in the trenches to avoid the shelling, and as soon as the shelling stopped, under the command of the big bull, they all got up, prepared weapons and ammunition, and placed grenades around them, ready to be thrown out at any time. The eight light and heavy machine guns that had been hidden during the shelling were also brought out, the machine gunners were all preparing for firing in earnest, and the ammunition men were also holding the chains and preparing to reload.

I had seen how the comrades-in-arms of one battalion fought before, and at this time, the soldiers of another militia battalion who were replaced by them imitated them in a similar way.

When the Dian army ran to fifty meters, Da Niu directly killed one of the officers of the Dian army with one shot, and the rest of the militia soldiers also began to shoot. A militia soldier lay in the trench and aimed at a Dian army, and when a gun rang out, the person who was targeted was fine, but the other next to him fell straight to the ground. The militia soldier was not reconciled, and aimed at a Dian soldier who had just been targeted by him next to the man, and another gunshot rang out, and in the eyes of the militia soldier, the Dian soldier who had been targeted by himself before fell. At this time, a comrade-in-arms next to him stabbed him and said good marksmanship, for which he could only reluctantly accept this praise.
