Chapter 668: Defection
Amid the roar of artillery, the Huai army's mountain siege troops temporarily stopped their upward march, but divided about 2,000 troops to move laterally to intercept the approaching 16th Army of the Democratic Alliance, and the two sides soon exchanged fire.
At the foot of the mountain, it can be seen very clearly, along a crooked line, both sides are constantly fire, accompanied by gunsmoke, explosions one after another, although the Democratic Alliance Army has the advantage in numbers, but the geographical advantage and height occupied are slightly worse than that of the Huai army, it is difficult to destroy the other side in large quantities, and it is also necessary to take care of the artillery of Liu Mingchuan's battalion, too close, will become a live target of the opponent's artillery, so the battle situation is temporarily stalemate.
On the periphery of the camp, the NLD forces destroyed large and conspicuous targets with artillery fire, and attacked small and hidden targets with infantry.
Liu Mingchuan and Zhou Shengbo were sweating and roaring in a hurry, and before the hope of capturing the mountain was shattered, they could only make their last efforts to fight to the death, and the scene should not be too ugly, otherwise the army's morale would fluctuate, and even the defection before the battle was possible.
The two men stared closely at the top of the hill, issuing orders one after another, hoping that the artillery fire would deal a major blow to the NLD troops on the top of the mountain.
After five rounds of shelling, the Huai army continued to march to the top of the mountain, but Liu Erren's heart instantly chilled, because the gunfire and explosions rang out again, and it was obvious that the Democratic Alliance forces would not stay in one place and not leave, but moved their positions before the shelling.
For such a large mountain, it is impossible to achieve full fire coverage with only a few dozen artillery pieces, not to mention that the preparations before firing the artillery cannot be concealed. The top of the hill is condescending, and it is easy to observe the gunner's operation. Transfer early.
Hitting the 200 NLD soldiers scattered on the top of Nuoda Mountain with dozens of artillery pieces can be roughly described as using anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes.
And what's even more frustrating is that. It was with the approach of the large army of the Democratic Alliance Army attacking the mountain, and the 5,000 Huai Army had to disperse its forces to block the attack, which weakened the intensity of the attack in a phase change, but it was not possible to divide the troops, once the main force of the Democratic Alliance Army and the mountain troops converged, even the gods could not save the defeat.
"What about reinforcements? Why haven't you come yet? Zhou Shengbo frequently looked in the direction of the city.
"Don't worry, reinforcements are out." Liu Mingchuan suddenly pointed in the direction of the West City Gate.
Seeing a group of soldiers rushing out quickly and rushing westward, Zhou Shengbo's heart was a little calmer. shouted: "The reinforcements are coming, the brothers hold on, take the mountain, everyone will be rewarded, and then the supervising team will put the tricks in the highlight, who the fuck dares to passively avoid the battle, and cut off his dog's head for Lao Tzu!" ”
"Yes!" Daodao slogans went up the mountain.
But if you don't experience the attack on the mountain, you can't experience the hardships, at first glance. The mountains are all over the field, densely packed with Huai troops, but the reality is that since the first shot was fired. The Huai army only advanced an average of about ten meters upwards and left hundreds of corpses behind.
What is this concept?
The Black Hawks did not stand on the top of the hill to block the attack, but squatted on the upper part of the hill. There are still more than a hundred meters from the summit, which means that the top of the mountain is completely occupied. At least a few thousand lives will have to be paid, not to mention that the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. In addition, the Black Hawks still mainly shoot for the time being, and will only use grenades and mortars if they get too close.
"Damn, it's all for Lao Tzu, who dares to grind, be careful that Lao Tzu cuts him!"
"Come on, give it to Lao Tzu, it's slower than a tortoise, do you want Lao Tzu to hack you to death a turtle king eight lambs?"
Seeing that the battle situation was in a stalemate, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers to attack the mountain was not too high, the last overseers shouted with machetes, and even hacked a few to death.
Perhaps it was the ferocity of the Warlords that suppressed the field, and everyone ignored the guns in their hands, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, so they could only speed up the attack and speed, and the casualties also increased.
Squatting behind a rock, Zhou Yanqi turned his head and asked, "Can you carry out a fixed-point elimination and defeat the arrogance of the supervising team?" ”
"No problem!" Several fighters manipulated the mortar, and after some positioning, put the shells into the barrels.
With a sound of "Knock~~", a black dot was vacated, drawing an arc in mid-air, and it landed in the Overseer team nearly a thousand meters away.
"Ahh With the screams, the Overseer team blew up five or six on the spot, and the rest immediately dispersed, vigilantly looking upward.
The soldiers of the Huai army all showed a look of relief, and the pace of the attack also stopped.
"What? Want to die, don't you? All for Lao Tzu to go up! "I have to say that the overseers are still very conscientious, and when they saw that the soldiers were no longer attacking the mountain, they hurriedly regrouped and waved their knives.
"Bang~~" As soon as the words fell, another cannonball smashed into the warlord's team, and the casualties rose to more than ten people.
"Damn, the short hair is for the old men, brothers, stick it up, and see if there will be any more cannons on it." The captain shouted angrily, commanding the overseers to stick closely behind the attacking troops, and sure enough, no more artillery was fired on the mountain.
The soldiers were angry and aggrieved, they were taken hostage, but they were forced to supervise the obscenity of the team, so they could only cower and continue to march.
Suddenly, three or four hundred meters overhead, a loud Black Hawk member took the microphone and shouted: "Brothers of the Huai Army, you can't attack this mountain, and our troops are gradually breaking through your defense line, and will soon break through Liu Mingchuan's camp, you don't have any chance of winning, do you still want to continue to send them to death?" It's still too late to surrender, and there are only two or three hundred Overseers, but there are several thousand of you, turn your guns and kill the Overseers, and there will be no one to threaten you.
Now that the Qing court is in the twilight of the sunset, and our Democratic Alliance is thriving, this autumn, we will be founded in Nanjing, do you still want to bury the Manchu Tartars? Our Democratic League has always paid attention to fairness and justice, and if there is merit, it will be promoted, and if it is wrong, it will be punished. The choices you make today, I can guarantee that you will never regret them in the future!
You should know that before you, hundreds of thousands of green battalions have joined our Democratic Alliance Army, and even the foundation of the Democratic Alliance Army is the Nanjing Green Battalion, what do you have to worry about? As long as we take this step, we will usher in a broader world."
The above shouts are chattering and persuading, which is very inflammatory, and many people can't help but think of the bowl of dumplings sent by the Democratic Alliance Army, in stark contrast, it is the lack of food and clothing in the Twist Army, and the discrimination and scolding after joining the Huai Army.
In fact, it is not a secret that the Democratic Alliance Army has won successive victories, and today's situation is also very clear, and it is very difficult to capture the mountain, and if it cannot be captured, Xinyang will not be protected.
Many people are hesitating, because taking the last step requires great courage and courage, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
The team looked bad, and someone shouted: "Don't listen to the nonsense above, go up, give it to Lao Tzu, attack the mountain, the commander will never treat you badly, who dares to take half a step back, be careful that the machete in Lao Tzu's hand is not long-sighted!" ”
"Fuck, you still dare to threaten us, really when we were raised by rabbits? Kill these dog thieves and go to the Democratic Alliance! Bang! I don't know who it was, so I couldn't bear to fire the first shot and kill one of the Overseers.
"Kill!" Someone took the lead, and the latter was easy to do, and suddenly the gunfire was loud, and bullets were fired into the bodies of the overseers, and in less than a minute, the hillside was already full of corpses, and then the whole army threw down the guns and walked towards the top of the mountain.
"Not good!" Seeing this scene, Zhou Shengbo's face changed color, he was really afraid of something, due to the instability of the army, in order to prevent the combat troops from defecting in front of the battle, he also specially sent a supervision team to monitor, but he forgot that thousands of people only rely on the supervision team of three hundred people to monitor, can they really be monitored? Besides, sending the Governor team to monitor is an act that attracts resentment.
"Provincial third brother, how should this be?" Zhou Shengbo was completely gone, and pulled Liu Mingchuan to ask urgently.
At this time, even if Zhuge Wuhou is reincarnated, he is powerless, because it is very easy to cause a chain reaction when thousands of people defect before the battle, and talk about Liu Mingchuan?
Liu Mingchuan stared blankly, staring blankly at the top of the mountain, and he could clearly see in the telescope that more than 2,000 people who had surrendered waved their hands and shouted in unison to the Huai army troops blocking another Democratic Alliance army.
Sure enough, that part of the Huai army also laid down their arms one after another and walked towards the Democratic Alliance army, which was still an opponent a few minutes ago.
The 5,000 people who attacked the mountain died in a few hundred, and the rest all surrendered, if there was a choice, Liu Mingchuan would rather all these 5,000 people die in battle, even if they can't attack the mountain, it doesn't matter, because they can use their spirit to inspire the whole army to fight to the death.
But nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and all the Huai troops on the mountain have surrendered, and there is no other role except to bring a bad head.
"Third brother of the province, you are talking!" Zhou Shengbo, Liu Mingchuan and Zhang Shusheng are equal on the surface, but Zhou Shengbo is stationed in Xinyang, and Liu Mingchuan and Zhang Shusheng are stationed outside the city, so in fact, his status is slightly higher.
However, among the three people, Liu Mingchuan was the most scheming, and at this time, Zhou Shengbo shook Liu Mingchuan's shoulders violently.
"Alas~~" Liu Mingchuan let out a long sigh and said with difficulty: "It seems that you and I can only have high hopes for the handsome." ”
"You mean surrender to Shorthair?" Zhou Shunbo asked in disbelief as if he couldn't accept it.
"If you don't surrender, will you be loyal to the emperor?" Liu Mingchuan said bitterly: "The Short People's Alliance on the top of the mountain has 15,000 people after the defection of 5,000 people in our army, do you have a way to take it down?"
If we can't find a way, the whole army will surrender one after another, and you and I can be tied up and sent to the camp of the Democratic Alliance Army, which is already considered lucky, and it is more likely that we will be killed on the spot, and take our heads to ask Commander Wang for a reward. ”
Zhou Shengbo asked urgently: "Our family members are all in Bozhou, what should we do if we drop them?" How could the handsome not kill him to vent his anger? (To be continued......)
