After the task was issued, Chen Jizu, the commander of the second battalion, immediately organized the soldiers who were familiar with the water to form a platoon and take a small boat from the lake to slowly approach the water village in the dark night.

Now it is the middle of October, and the water temperature at night is a little cool, these soldiers endured the biting water of the lake and swam to the edge of the water village, and then under the command of the platoon commander, they each swam to a battlefield, and at this time the bandits in the water village were almost all moving things, and no one noticed that anyone was approaching from under the water.

These soldiers swam under the water of the target ship and began to chisel the bottom of the ship with the tools they brought, these warships on the Taihu Lake are not large, and they are all many years old, they are all made of wood, due to the long relationship between time, the wood has begun to decay, which is a good thing for these underwater soldiers.

"Hey, brother, how do I feel like this ship is sinking a bit?" Liu Ergou said to his fellow bandit Huang Si.

The two of them had just finished moving their things and were walking on the shore outside, Huang Si turned his head to look at Liu Ergou as if he was looking at an idiot, "What's so strange about this, the ship is loaded with so many things, it must sink a little!" Walk quickly, walk slowly, and when you are seen by the masters, you will be scolded again! ”

"That's right!"

The soldiers under the water dug three big holes in the bottom of each warship, and the position was still very scattered, when the three holes were dug up, these soldiers began to swim back, the process was very smooth, the bandits' vigilance was too low, he didn't expect that Xiao Zhenlei and others would send people to scuttle the boat when they were ready to retreat, and when the platoon commander counted the number of people again, all the soldiers who went to scuttle the boat came back. A lot of them, and immediately let the soldiers who rocked the oars row back. The soldiers began to change out of their drenched clothes and put on clean clothes to keep out the cold.

When they come back. The four large fishing boats, which had been waiting for the shore for a long time, could not wait to set off, and there were many soldiers lying on their stomachs on these four large fishing boats, two of which were equipped with heavy machine guns, and the rest of the soldiers were holding rifles on both sides of the machine guns and aimed at the direction of the water village.

However, at this time, the soldiers of the first battalion and one platoon had already marched to the mountain under the order of Wu Shiyou, and the remaining two platoons of the first company and the men and horses of the second company were at the foot of the mountain ready to attack the mountain at any time, and the third company was waiting for orders as a reserve.

The fortifications halfway up the hill had already been occupied by the men of the three companies and nine rows this afternoon, so when the men and horses of the company and the nine rows arrived here, the road was very smooth, after greeting the men and horses of the three companies and nine rows. The platoon continued to march up the hill, but at this time they were much more careful, the higher they went, the more vulnerable they were to the attacks from the bandits from the mountains, but at this time the night provided them with the best cover, and unlike the daytime attack, there was now a machine gun squad at the back of the platoon, this machine gun squad carried a heavy machine gun and two boxes of ammunition.

The bandits also did not expect that the officers and soldiers under the mountain would attack in the dark at this time, and there had never been a precedent for attacking at night before, so the bandits were a little negligent in their precautions at night. The people in the first row did not shout to kill, which could only attract the bullets of the bandits, and just as the people in the first row were gradually approaching the gate of the Shanding cottage, the bandits on the wall of the cottage did not have the heart to observe the situation on the mountain road at all. Because the bandits in the cottage were moving things and preparing to retreat, and these bandits who were arranged to defend didn't know how the big boss Yang Fei would arrange them, watching them clean up. Pack up, these bandits on the walled wall have long been on defense.

A sleeping bandit is awakened by a soak of urine. He got up from the wall, walked to the edge of the wall, and began to pee in the direction of the mountain, and inadvertently opened his eyes. I found that there were several black shadows moving quickly on the mountain road, moving to the left and to the right.

The bandit wiped his eyes with one free hand, looked down again, and made sure that he didn't see the dazzled eyes, and he immediately understood that it was the officers and soldiers under the mountain who took advantage of the dark night to touch it, and he immediately lifted his pants and let out a terrible cry: "Officers and soldiers are on the mountain!" ”

This shout, suddenly like a calm pool of water thrown into a big stone, the wall and the cottage immediately exploded, the bandits who were still asleep just now were woken up, they got up and picked up weapons to prepare to fire down the mountain, and just now the bandits who were still moving things in the cottage did not drop the things in their hands and ran to the wall to help defend with weapons, but carried things to the direction of the water village faster.

Seeing this, the bandit leader Yang Fei was in a hurry, if the officers and soldiers were not repelled at this time, once the officers and soldiers attacked the top of the mountain, the officers and soldiers would definitely follow and kill, and the losses would be immeasurable, so he immediately pulled out his pistol and fired three shots in the sky in a row, which made the bandits who were still speeding up their pace and walking in the direction of the water village just now stopped.

"Everyone listen to Lao Tzu, at this time, we must not ignore the wall and go to the water village, we must withdraw first to repel the attack of the officers and soldiers and then retreat, let's withdraw now, the defensive force on the wall is likely to be attacked by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers will definitely follow and kill us at that time, how many can escape? Therefore, now they all listen to Lao Tzu's orders, everyone puts down what they are doing, and hurried to get weapons and gather here, so who, second, you go and inform those injured brothers to withdraw to the water village to board the boat first, and wait for us to repel the attack of the officers and soldiers before we pass! ”

The second master of the cottage immediately agreed, and then called a few minions to organize the transfer of the wounded.

A platoon of soldiers who were approaching the gate of the cottage saw that they and others had been discovered by the bandits, and the platoon leader immediately decided to launch a strong attack, and now the distance from the gate of the cottage was only more than 40 meters in a straight line, and the vertical distance was only 30 meters, he immediately ordered: "The first group of grenades is ready, the second group is fired, and the machine gun squad is covered by fire."

On his orders, the second group in the middle began to shoot at the bandits who had just emerged from the wall, "bang, bang, bang".

The three soldiers of the first group each took out a grenade, pulled the fuse and threw it at the wall of the mountain, "Boom, boom, boom!" "A grenade was thrown under the wall, after the explosion made the wall shake a few times, the second grenade fell behind the wall and did not blow up anyone, the third grenade just fell on the top of the gate of the wall, seven or eight bandits huddled together all knocked down, which weakened the defensive firepower on the wall a lot.

With the help of his companions, one of the machine gunners climbed to the slope of the nearby hill with his back against a large tree, and attached the heavy machine gun to the slope of the mountain wall, so that the soldiers in front would not block the range of the machine guns, and the machine guns could completely hit the wall.

The heavy machine gun finally fired, and the bandits on the wall of the wall suddenly fell in a row, and a blood mist was set off in the air.

With the suppression of the machine guns, the threat of the platoon on the wall of the cottage against the attacking soldiers on the mountain road was greatly reduced, and the platoon commander spotted the fighter and immediately ordered, "Brothers, open fire for cover, and the demolition team will rush up for me."

"Bang bang?" Gunfire erupted again on the mountain road.

A two-person demolition team rushed to the gate of the cottage under the cover of others under the cover of the rain of bullets and tied an explosive bag to the wooden door, and when the two demolition team members ran back, the platoon leader immediately shouted: "Everyone lie down!" ”

There was a loud bang, the ground shook, the gravel, sawdust, and wood flew everywhere, the gate of the cottage was blown up, the entire cottage portal was opened, and the bandits on the wall were all spared.

The platoon leader shook his head and looked up, only to see that the gate on the top of the mountain was gone, and the wall was also tilted and fell, and he immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush up with me, rush!"

"Rush!"

With this explosion, the morale of a platoon of soldiers on the mountain road was greatly boosted, and all rushed up the hill with rifles, and the third company and nine platoons halfway up the mountain heard the movement and immediately rushed up to support under the leadership of the platoon commander.

And the bandits on the top of the mountain who were carrying things had just taken their weapons and gathered in front of Yang Fei, when they were startled by a sudden violent explosion behind them and the subsequent shouting of killing, Yang Fei's heart suddenly chuckled, and secretly screamed bad!

Sure enough, before Yang Fei could give an order, a bandit covered in blood ran from the direction of the gate and shouted: "Big boss, it's not good, the cottage has been broken by officers and soldiers, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and now the officers and soldiers have rushed over here, hurry up, it's too late if you don't run!" ”

"Ah, the officers and soldiers have been killed? It's over, it's over! The bandits were immediately shocked, and one by one they immediately turned around and fled in the direction of the water village.

At this time, Yang Fei shouted: "Give Lao Tzu quiet, quiet, at this time, the unguarded escape can only be slaughtered by the officers and soldiers, listen to Lao Tzu, let's fight and retreat, the third, you take your people with me in the back hall, the fourth, you take the others to the water village first, we will come later, let the boatmen raise the sails for Lao Tzu, and leave as soon as we get on the boat!" ”

"Yes, Boss!" The fourth child agreed, and immediately waved to the others: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

I have to say that Yang Fei is a very capable and experienced bandit, he didn't panic at this time, but thought that he couldn't leave his back to the officers and soldiers, someone had to block the officers and soldiers, and the others could leave along the way, but unfortunately he didn't know that their retreat had been broken at this time.
