"Damn, Lao Tzu knows that there is no good fruit to eat when he walks from this side, damn, now it's okay, I don't dare to raise my head when I am beaten by others." In the sparse low woods, a Beiyang soldier wearing a gray military uniform, a turban, red epaulettes, and two red lines on his cuffs was crawling quickly on the ground, while his eyes widened and he looked out through the gap in the woods to check the location of the bandits opposite, and his mouth was still cursing.

The clothing of this person has clearly indicated that this person is an infantry subordinate, which is roughly equivalent to the deputy squad leader of later generations, and is the backbone soldier of the Beiyang New Army.

Although this person scolded and scolded, but the action was dissatisfied, I saw him use his hands and feet together, directly on the ground to the right direction quickly crawled over, because this person's position has been quite close to the periphery of the low woods, even if it is lying on his stomach, it is easy for the bandits in the distance to find, so soon there are bullets fired at him one after another, bullets fell one after another around him, hitting a little smoke and dust, and more hit the trees next to him, and the bullets still hit the tree chips after flying hundreds of meters. Faintly, he could even hear the sound of bullets flying overhead and piercing the air.

Faced with the threat of direct death when they were hit by concentrated fire from the enemy, ordinary soldiers who had just trained for a few months would probably have to pee their pants in fright, or even stand up and run away in panic, and in that case, if not 100 percent, 90 percent of them would have to hang up.

But that man is a veteran who has been in the army for many years, as the backbone of the soldiers, he did not panic like those rookies, but scolded on his lips: "Damn, bastard, your mother's ......" and the like, at the same time, his hands and feet are getting faster and faster, and he even ignores the sharp stones on the ground and crawls over directly.

He can't stay where he is, the place he is now is too close to the edge of the dwarf woods, without the dense dwarf forest to cover the enemy, he can see a lot at a glance, even if the enemy will not hit him for a while while lying on his stomach, but if he continues to stay, he will be hit sooner or later, and it is impossible to turn around and run, the best way is to cross the open area of five or six meters, and then enter the ditch, so as to be able to save his life.

The bullets are still flying, more bandits have already discovered him, the bullets are coming more intensively, the open area of five or six meters seems to have become a shooting range, the muzzles of countless bandits are aimed here, the short distance seems to have become extremely distant, and it takes a century to protect it without climbing a meter.

When Han Duotian finally climbed to the ditch, he didn't care about the mud and dirty water in the ditch at all, just leaned on the ditch and gasped for breath to calm his heart, which was beating hundreds of times a minute.

After a long time, he calmed down, and he was already in a cold sweat behind his back, and he began to shout to himself: "Haha, Lao Tzu is not dead, the bastard dares to beat Lao Tzu, see if I don't collapse you bandit scum one by one!" ”

Then he picked up the rifle in his hand, and once again cautiously poked his head out of the ditch, although it was not easy to find the enemy's position from the muzzle flame during the day, but the firepower of the group of bandits just now was so dense, there must be a lot of people, this did not he soon found a large number of people dangling behind a row of low walls, and at a cursory glance, at least eighty or ninety people!

"Good fellows, these bandits have the audacity to give up their horses and play foot combat!" Han Duotian continued to talk to himself, and then aimed at the head of a bandit and fired a shot.

After the gunshot, it missed! However, Han Duotian didn't care, he was not a sharpshooter, it was quite difficult to hit the enemy more than 300 meters away, but if he missed one shot, he would shoot two shots, so many enemies in front of him, he could always kill a few.

When Han Duotian climbed into the ditch in a panic in order to protect himself, the others were still in the low woods behind, they were not so close to Han Duotian at the beginning, most of them were still in the depths of the low woods, and after being hit by the bandits' firepower, they all hurriedly lay down according to the infantry drill to avoid being hit by people as targets while standing, and at the same time looking for the enemy's position.

However, before they dodged the fire and found cover, there were already many people who were hit, and among the more than ten people who started to walk in front with Han Duotian, at least five people were hit, and the remaining few could only lie on the ground one by one, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads when they were suppressed.

They could not directly cross the open area into the ditch like Han Duotian, but could only lie on the ground and then crawl to low-lying places or behind tree trunks to find cover, while also shooting back.

Although the soldiers behind them were not seen by the enemy, the bullets flew over, even if they did not hit the people in front, but they were a great threat to the soldiers behind, so they hurriedly lay down or looked for cover.

At the same time, they also shot at the enemy's approximate position to counterattack, for a time, the low woods were also gunfired, but to be honest, the second platoon of the left team counterattack effect is relatively limited, due to the haste of the incident, and at the same time the distance is relatively long, it is difficult for them to shoot accurately for the time being, can only be suppressed with dense firepower first, in order to get rid of the current situation of being pressed and beaten.

After the second platoon of Han Duotian's left team was suppressed, he immediately exchanged fire with the bandits behind the low wall on the opposite side in the low woods, and for a while there was a lot of gunfire in the small Hongjiatun.

Outside the temporary command post of the first battalion of the infantry team in the distance, Liu Fu stood behind the bunker and kept observing that this time the second platoon of the left team was blocked so quickly, and he was not even able to reach the predetermined ditch, which surprised him.

It seems that the bandits on the other side are not mixed up and waiting for death, and there are still some knowledgeable people in them, at least they know how to arrange fire to intercept the open area between the low forest and the ditch.

However, if they wanted to intercept their own attack more than 300 meters away just by splicing this bit of firepower, it would be impossible, but this was a bandit, not a hard fight with foreign foreigners, so there was no need to risk increasing casualties to force an attack, so he did not order the second platoon of the left team to forcibly attack.

Anyway, the bandits inside have been surrounded, annihilating them is a matter of time, and they can't fight hard, since they have defense over there in the dwarf woods, then they will choose other directions as the main direction of attack, I don't believe that those hundreds of bandits can still hold all the places, and they don't have so many people with this ability.

This time, the strength of the northward detachment of the bandits who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Hongjiatun was as high as more than 1,300 people, and there were only 300 bandits in Hongjiatun, even if they added the old and weak young people and men and women, the number of people available would not exceed 500, so this time to suppress the bandits, Meng Enyuan and others occupied an absolute advantage in strength.

Suppressing bandits is also a war, and the first priority of war is to always maintain the superiority of troops to fight the enemy's inferior forces, the so-called victory with less will never be admired by military scientists, and what real military scientists advocate is that it will always be me who will do you alone.

The reason why outstanding military strategists are praised is that they are always able to create a superiority in troops and weapons, even if their overall superiority is inferior to that of their opponents, but they can also create a local superiority in troops and weapons.

Meng Enyuan is not an outstanding military strategist, and he Liu Fu is not a famous general, but as a professional background, one of the few modern military officers in China in these years, they know what to do even if they read from the script.

Maybe being a famous general requires talent, but being a qualified officer only requires you to copy Xuanke, it doesn't matter if you have no talent? As long as you use the things you learn in the military academy, then you can generally be regarded as a qualified officer, otherwise there are millions of officers from all over the world in World War I and World War II, how can there be so many officers with war talent, basically all of them are officers who follow the script.

Meng Enyuan is such a person, he doesn't need to understand why he wants to concentrate his forces to fight other people's inferior forces, let alone what kind of victory is not martial, killing chickens with knives and so on, he just needs to concentrate the superior forces and then fight the inferior forces of the bandits, so he will concentrate nearly 1,300 troops in order to encircle and suppress Lu Shuanggun, not to mention ten to one, but he can also achieve four to one.

Not to mention that Meng Enyuan's troops still have a weapon advantage!

Just as the main attack from the south, there are at least 800 people, with such superior troops, naturally Liu Fufu, who is in charge of the southern attack, will not be impatient, let alone exchange unnecessary casualties for a few hours of progress.

So after Liu Fu saw that the second platoon of the left team was suppressed in the low woods, he did not order them to continue the strong attack, but maintained the suppression of firepower, and at the same time he ordered the first platoon of the left team to continue the attack.

This battle has just begun, although the beginning is not too good, but it has not affected the optimistic attitude of the officers of the northward detachment of the bandits, not to mention Liu Fufu, who commanded the battle on the front line, even a group of officers watching the battle on the mountain in the rear are still relaxed.

"I think the second platoon of the left team is about to be suppressed, and the bandits on the opposite side have at least hundreds of guns, but judging from their firing speed, there are not many new rifles, most of them are old guns!" A young officer lowered his binoculars and said to another officer beside him.

The other person replied: "Brother Fang is right, judging from their rate of fire, their new guns should only be about twenty, but the people on the other side are also a little discerning, and they have chosen a good position to suppress them, and now they have hundreds of people to defend, if they want to attack from the low forest through the northern ditch, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult!" ”

The officer surnamed Fang, who was called Brother Fang, said: "Although the difficulty has increased, the opportunity is not impossible!" ”
