It was getting dark.
As judged by the northern latitudes, after dark, the cavalry did not dare to ride their horses on the mountain road, no matter how bold they were, unless they wanted to break their necks. However, now it is the turn of the northern latitude to refuse to give up, and the night has always been the stage where the scouts can give full play to their strengths, and since they have already made a move, they simply play bigger.
After a simple meal in a hidden place, the group and the six members of the group set off for a night raid. The relieved group did not participate in this operation, they had to walk in the field for most of the night to reach the new observation point, rest for a few hours before dawn, and then observe the movement of the Ming army in the field of vision from a distance throughout the day, and report it to Tang Jian and others in the north latitude and rear, and wait for the Ming army to leave the field of vision before going to the next observation point...... To put it simply, the group acts as a human radar, which is safer but also boring, far less exciting than the brothers in the group.
Beiwei originally only planned to "play" a little: touch a few sentries to shoot a few rockets, and let those Ming soldiers not sleep too much. However, halfway through, he received a call from the camp, which was from Tang Jian, Pang Yu, Lin Hanlong and others.
"What's the matter?"
After putting down the walkie-talkie, someone next to him asked, Beiwei seemed to have a smile on his face, and Wang Haiyang, who also had a walkie-talkie next to him, laughed:
"We're going to have a big game, and it's just raining over there at the ambush point."
"Huh?"
The stupid brain here hasn't turned the corner yet, and Beiwei has to explain clearly:
"It didn't rain for long, but it rained a lot, and the freshly dug explosion site was flooded. The engineering team is currently busy draining the soil and they need an extra day or two to wait for the ground to dry completely before they can plant the explosives, so we are asked to delay as much time as possible. ”
"My day, why are you so unlucky......"
In the midst of the whispered cursing, the original harassment automatically escalated into a blocking war. Ground explosive packs, which were not intended to be used, were also taken out, such as mine grenades. Anyway, the camp has been prepared to send people to transport supplies, and the explosives are very sufficient.
The unlucky Ming army, because of a shower, didn't want to sleep all night.
At about one o'clock in the morning, the detachment quietly touched the camp of the Ming army, the camp of 35,000 people, and even at night, the bright fire could be seen from afar. It's easy to identify.
The Ming army was quite well guarded this time. There are open and dark sentry posts, and there are many mobile patrols patrolling back and forth around the camp tents, which seem to have learned the painful lesson of being continuously touched during the Chinese New Year, and also to prevent the recurrence of sneak attacks during the day.
By the standards of this era, the defenses are very tight. However, it could not compete with the telescope in the possession of the Travelers, far beyond the technological superiority and new tactics of this era: the German-made Visionary Nighthawk XP5221, with night vision, found in the trunk of the Humvee, apparently belonging to the large man who had not been able to cross over.
In front of night vision goggles. The sentinels who thought they were well hidden were all exposed. However, Beiwei did not intend to deal with them, but carefully bypassed the patrol range of those sentinels, and led the team to a place more than 100 meters away from the Ming army camp.
The Ming army must have cut down all the surrounding vegetation when they camped, but the range of sight they cleared was only about fifty meters, and this was only a temporary camp after all, so it didn't take much effort. Fifty meters away, there are still weeds and bushes, enough to cover some sneaky activity......
That's what Beiwei is doing right now: he carefully digs the ground with a shovel. Dig a dustpan-shaped pit with a certain inclination slope. At the bottom of the pit was dug a slope pit with the same slope, and then two packets of explosives were put into the pit one after another. Place on an inclined plane with sloped angles. A detonator is inserted into a large explosive pack, and a pull-up fire device and a fuse of precisely calculated length are attached......
"Demolition?"
Wang Haiyang looked at the operation of Beiwei with interest, and the two young men who had been soldiers next to him also showed knowing smiles on their faces, while Zhang Xiaoshan and another member of the military team of the civilian area were inexplicable, and they didn't know what these guys were doing.
"Now the military school probably doesn't teach this, after all, it's too primitive. However, in the past, it was also specially taught in militia training. ”
Beiwei seems to be in a good mood, and has the patience to explain a few words to the rookies: "Light the explosives in the detonating crater, use the powerful shock wave generated by its explosion to push the target explosive package out and pull the fuse, forming a lethality similar to that of a cannonball." Generally, the push and throw distance can reach 10,050 meters, but here it is necessary to calculate the slope and angle of the detonation crater seat, as well as the weight of the two explosive packets and the target distance...... It's troublesome, and it's hard for a layman to use it well. ”
This is the prototype of our army's so-called unconscionable artillery. It is not accurate, and can only roughly determine the direction and distance of its projectile, which caused many accidental injuries to many of its own people during the Vietnam War, and was rarely used later. ”
Wang Haiyang added two sentences next to him, and at the same time helped pull the fuse...... But it's not over yet, scouts have always set traps, and Beiwei has pulled a few grenades up triplines and hung them in the grass, and whoever approaches them is unlucky.
"Do you want to set up more? Bury the mines too? ”
Wang Haiyang, this young man is really fierce enough, but Beiwei is relatively calm:
"No, one or two grenades are enough. What are the mines that will be buried along the road tomorrow, so that the other side will feel that although our explosives are powerful, they are not numerous, and they can only play a harassing role, so that they will have the confidence to continue the attack. ”
After the arrangement was completed, Beiwei led everyone far away from the blasting crater, and it was really hard to say where this thing would fall after sending the explosive bag to the sky. After all, it was a self-made explosive through the ground, and it had never been tested in this area before, so it was possible that the explosive package that should have been thrown out exploded directly in the pit.
For this reason, Wang Haiyang pulled a fuse more than 30 meters long, lit it and escaped forty or fifty meters away, so that they were 100 meters away from the earthen pit. It's basically safe.
Originally, Beiwei was required to walk directly after lighting the fuse, but several other people wanted to see the effect, so they had to stay in place for a while. The fuse provided by the chemical team always burned longer than they claimed, and after waiting for a long time, a blast was heard from the other side of the pit.
Because the explosives pack was buried in the dirt, the sound was a bit muffled. However, soon, a huge fire broke out in the camp of the Ming army, accompanied by an incomparably violent loud noise, and even the earth was faintly shaking.
"These two kicks work well...... Let's go. ”
At the urging of the northern latitude, the group embarked on the way home, and at this time, the Ming army camp behind them was completely agitated like a watered ant nest, and a large number of Ming troops were scurrying around like headless flies, and after the chaos, it seemed that more patrols were sent around.
Then the explosion of a grenade was heard here again. The trap of the northern latitudes is really not wasted.
It is not clear whether the Ming army was able to sleep again that night. However, from this day on, this Ming army has always been in a certain state of high tension......
During the daytime march, there would occasionally be inexplicable explosions on the road, the number of explosions was not many, and not many people were killed or injured each time, at most five or six, except for the unlucky ones who stepped on the mines, most of the people next to them were only injured in the legs and feet. But there is no pattern in the places where these mines are laid. Sometimes in the middle of the road; Sometimes on the side of the road; Sometimes a leg will be blown away with a slight trip, and sometimes a whole team of people will be fine when they step on it, until the baggage truck behind it is pressed up; Sometimes there are no mines at intervals of ten or twenty miles; Sometimes it can blow two or three ...... in a row
The reason for this situation is that the harassment team planted mines relatively casually, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the quality of these mines themselves is also uneven, so they are originally test products.
Later, these Ming soldiers also learned to behave. They sent a small force to drag a few thick logs at the front of the group. This will not make a difference, but at least psychologically, the people in the rear will feel safer and avoid causing the mental weakness of all personnel due to high tension.
As for the pathfinder ahead? Anyway, every once in a while, a new group of people will go up, and whoever touches it will be unlucky.
At night, it's even worse, and no one can say when a huge and terrible thunderbolt will suddenly fly in from outside. All are powder" This is the report written by the military Chinese to the above. It's actually more powerful than that. That thing can blow up a large crater in the ground four or five feet at a time, and there will be no survivors within the explosion range. People in the vicinity are also often shocked to death. There were no external injuries to the body, but there was heavy bleeding from the internal organs.
Of course, the Ming army also tried to search and chase the attackers, but at night their only means of lighting was torches, and they couldn't find anything when they chased them out with torches, and they had to watch out for tripping thunder.
During the day, they were pursued only once: the commander of the Ming army organized an elite assault force of more than 100 people, including more than 20 cavalrymen...... As a result, the sound of ping-pong was heard in the distance, and by the time their large army arrived, there was only one corpse left on the ground, and seven or eight seriously wounded...... Even the horses were taken away.
"The bandits' firearms are extremely sharp, ah......"
The frightened survivors all said this, and after asking in detail, it was similar to what the officers and soldiers of the Qianhu Institute in Lanzhou had said, but the number of people who asked about the other party was really small, and it seemed that there were only about a dozen people.
Combined with the information sent by the previous spies that those shorthairs intended to escape, the commander of the Ming army naturally made the following judgment: these shorthairs have very powerful firearm power, and they can even defeat one against ten!
It is not uncommon for a dozen people to defeat one or two hundred Ming troops, and both the Japanese and the red-haired people on the sea can do it. But their numbers were too small after all, and they were not enough to fight against the thousands of troops of the imperial court. So they tried to thwart their own march along this route, probably to buy more time for those who came behind to escape.
The generals of the Ming army, who thought that they had grasped the movement of the other side, became more and more anxious, and determined to urge the whole army to move forward as quickly as possible at any cost, and be sure to defeat those short-haired bandits in one fell swoop.
