Chapter 14: The Brief Battle
Zhao Zhi's guess was right, the gunshots coming from the valley were indeed the movement of Zhang Jinquan and the snipers who were exchanging fire with the mountain bandits, but Zhang Jinquan and the others had just fired a few shots, and the swarming mountain bandits began to retreat. "There are masters among the mountain bandits, and they still want to deceive us and set a trap for us" Ye Kong shouted at Zhang Jinquan loudly, preventing him from taking the snipers to pursue the defeated mountain bandits. The sniper rifle is a long-range firepower, so naturally, the farther away it is from the bandits, the safer it will be, and there is no way to step on the trap of the bandits stupidly.
When the deceitful mountain bandits saw that the plan had not worked, they rushed down the slopes on both sides with a shout, and saw that there were about a hundred people. There are only 20 snipers under Zhao Zhi, and it is indeed a little difficult to deal with hundreds of mountain bandits in such terrain. "Fire, fire at will" Ye Kong didn't care about what to hide, and shouted directly at the top of his throat, as long as the mountain bandits entered a range of 300 meters, it was the range of the sniper rifle, but Ye Kong didn't know what the marksmanship of these snipers under his command was, so he waited for the mountain bandits to rush into a distance of 200 meters before shouting and giving the order to fire.
On both sides of the mountain road are gentle slopes overgrown with shrubs and thatch, Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan each hid on both sides with 10 snipers, and when they heard Ye Kong's shout, they crackled and opened fire. There are also people among the mountain bandits who heard Ye Kong's shouting, but they will still be shot even if they lie in the grass, the reason is very simple, the snipers led by Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan use crossfire, and their target is the mountain bandit on the slope opposite them, not the mountain bandit hidden on the hillside on their side.
After the snipers opened fire, the bandits began to stop, and a few bold guys rushed quickly, already within 150. 150 meters is still a bit far for Hanyangzao in their hands, and even throwing grenades is not close enough, so after Ye Kong's few gunshots, those bold mountain bandits were shot and fell to the ground. 150 meters is a line of death, the mountain bandits are firmly blocked by the snipers in the middle of the hill, the snipers are also more and more comfortable, do not fight the turtle and retreat, focus on the fast and the guy who falls behind, the mountain bandits are suppressed in the range of 150 meters to 250 meters from the mountain road and dare not move.
The immobile bandits provided a great opportunity for snipers to practice their design, and the dense gunfire began to become sparse, and some snipers simply stopped following the rule of changing places once they fired a shot, but stopped moving after finding a perfect position. Zhang Jinquan, who was bent on showing his face, even leaned on a big rock and refused to move half a step, Huang Chengcheng's bullet casings had already rolled to the ground beside him, and more than 15 mountain bandits had died under his gun.
Zhang Xiushan can't say what he is suffering now, and he heard that the little minions watching the wind under the mountain reported that a team of carriages came from outside the valley, and Zhang Xiushan, who had gained nothing in the past few days, moved his mind. There are more than 100 mountain bandits on Wild Bear Ridge, these people follow Zhang Xiushan to live on the mountain road under the mountain, some days ago after receiving the flying pigeon from the eyeliner of Yuanshan Town, after the news of the flying pigeon, the mountain has never walked through the caravan again, today suddenly came to the caravan, after a few thoughts, Zhang Xiushan decided to take the small people down the mountain to do a vote.
The news from the eyeliner is very clear, a team of people came to Yuanshan Town, it seems that they came for the batch of tobacco and soil that Zhang Xiushan robbed a while ago, and the origin of this group of people is not small, even the garrison of Yuanshan Town was alarmed. Originally, according to Zhang Xiushan's meaning, he wanted to hide in the cottage and close his door for a while, and then make plans after this gust of wind was over. But several of his leaders couldn't hold on, these guys who were originally homeless people, since they followed Zhang Xiushan to Wild Bear Ridge, they have become a little ruthless, and they regard robbing the road as a matter of course.
Now the mountain is down, but he and his subordinates were suppressed in the middle of the mountain by the other party's firepower, Zhang Xiushan is really bitter now, he knew that this was the result, even if he was killed, he couldn't go down the mountain. "Raise the flag, we have lowered, and if we carry it any longer, the brothers will die" Zhang Xiushan turned his head and shouted, asking Yu Xiucai, the military advisor who was following him, to hang the flag of Wild Bear Ridge upside down, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, this means that his side has surrendered.
Zhang Xiushan did it according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, but what he didn't know was that there were no people who mixed the rivers and lakes among the people who were shooting at them, except for Zhang Jinquan, who came back from abroad, and Ye Kong, who came back from abroad, were Chinese, and the rest were a group of blue-eyed and yellow-haired big-nosed foreigners, and people didn't understand this at all. Seeing that Zhang Xiushan raised the flag here, Ye Kong was still a little puzzled here, and said that this group of mountain bandits was so difficult that they still wanted to raise the flag and charge?
The flag was raised, but the bullets that flew were also a lot denser, and several mountain bandits around Zhang Xiushan were knocked down by bullets in a row and lay in a pool of blood, and the anxious Zhang Xiushan and the military advisor Yu Xiucai circled like donkeys tied to a millstone. "Put down the flag, put it down quickly" Seeing that the flag was indicating the target to the other party, Zhang Xiushan raised the short gun in his hand and snapped two shots to break the string that tied the flag. Speaking of which, Zhang Xiushan's marksmanship is indeed good, but unfortunately his movements are still slower, and a muzzle sticking out of the grass on the opposite hillside has been aimed at Zhang Xiushan.
Zhang Xiushan didn't expect that one of his actions would actually put him in a dangerous situation, and he originally planned to raise the flag and surrender, but he didn't expect it to become a beacon to guide the opponent's gunners. "Strategist, shout, just say that we surrender, don't fight" Zhang Xiushan rushed at the military advisor Yu Xiucai just raised his head, and a bullet hit his head, with hot brain plasma and plasma splashed everywhere, the frightened military advisor Yu Xiucai screamed repeatedly.
"Don't fight, we surrendered, surrendered" Yu Xiucai didn't know where the courage came from, a spirit stood up, kept waving his hands and shouted on the hillside, but the gunman on the opposite side didn't listen to him at all, just a few gunshots, Yu Xiucai was crushed in the head by the bullets that flew from the air. The military advisors in charge were all killed, and the remaining minions, led by several small leaders, threw away their guns one after another and began to flee all over the hillside, but they didn't know that the opponent's guns could cover a radius of 300 meters, and they couldn't escape at all.
When Eugene with the submachine gun squad arrived at Zhang Jinquan's side, the snipers were already cleaning the battlefield, and the battle, which lasted only ten minutes, ended in a complete victory for the snipers. And this skirmish at Wild Bear Ridge was not known because of Eugene's burial, and it was not until many years later, when the local political axe development tourism project broke ground in Wild Bear Ridge, that the bones of Eugene and their bandits buried in the mountains were discovered, and this history re-entered people's attention.
