On 0/0/90, snow began to fall on the plateau. After a night of accumulation, the snow was already covered outside the Gassanka military station. Although the snow is not heavy, it does not have much impact on walking or even horseback riding. But if the snow doesn't stop and it gets heavier and heavier, it will definitely have a serious impact on the operation.

Wang Yuze stood on the tower next to the gate of the military station, looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky, feeling a little nervous. So far, there has been no news of horse bandits, but this cannot be careless. Now that it's snowing, the danger would be much less if there were no bandits attacking for the next two days. After all, heavy snow is not conducive to cavalry attacks, and what is the difference between attacking a military station in this environment and looking for death. However, now that the snow has just begun to fall, it seems that this is also the last chance for the horse bandits.

"Ah Wei, is there any news of the horse bandits?" Wang Yuze asked. This is the defense battle after he took over the army, and there must be no mistakes! If the horse bandits attack, they must fight this battle.

"Nope!" Wang Wei shook his head. "It's snowing now, and all the scouts who shot it have returned. However, the snow is not conducive to the cavalry attack, so the horse bandits should not come, right? Wang Wei said.

"It's hard to say. The snow is not thick enough to affect the cavalry too much, and this is also the last chance for the horse bandits. If the bandits attack us, it should be in the last day or two. Pass the order down and cheer everyone up! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, company commander!" Wang Wei commanded.

After Wang Wei left, Wang Yuze stayed on the tower, looking to the north, where the horse bandits would attack with confidence. Around the station, there were anti-horses, enough to resist the charge of the cavalry. In addition, the five Maxim heavy machine guns of the third company were also in place, and one was accompanied by one around the station, one on each tower. The remaining one is used as a backup. In addition, five mortars were prepared, and the positions were set up on the playground in the middle of the station, which could be advantageous to support the fighting of all sides. The fence of the station is not very high, only three meters of effect. On the perimeter wall, firing holes were opened, from which the soldiers could shoot outward. At the same time, the wall can provide good protection for the soldiers, which is conducive to reducing casualties.

"Horse bandits, are you coming?" Wang Yuze thought secretly. After all, attacking and defending a strong military station is simply looking for death for ordinary horse bandits. The rabble of horse bandits is okay to deal with the ordinary herdsmen on the steppe, but against the regular army, they can only be slaughtered. There is a world of difference between the combat power of the regular army and the horse bandits.

"Why did the bandits appear on the north side of the station and want to attack the station? Will there be other forces involved in this? For example, the Green Horse Army in the north? Wang Yuze thought secretly. He was almost certain that there must have been the instigation of the Green Horse Army, or even direct involvement. Otherwise, how could the horse bandits have such courage. However, if the Green Horse Army is really involved, the danger is much greater. After all, even if the Qingma Army can't catch up with the Western Sichuan Army, it can be regarded as a well-trained regular army.

Wang Yuze had a faint premonition that the attack of the horse bandits might be today.

"Come on, sturdy military station, it will definitely make your heads bleed!" Wang Yuze thought secretly. The horse bandits, who are not covered with blood on their hands, they came to attack the military station, which just gave the western Sichuan army a chance to eliminate harm for the people.

Soon, a few hours passed, and it was noon, and the sky was still gray. Snowflakes are falling from the sky, and although there is no tendency to get bigger and bigger, it seems that there is no sign of abating.

The soldiers in the cooking squad had already prepared their lunch, which was all white flour steamed buns and sauced meat, but there were no vegetables. At the military stations on the plateau, when winter comes, it is more difficult to supply vegetables. The herdsmen who had been taken to the barracks also began to eat. They all consciously stayed in their tents and did not cause trouble to the western Sichuan army. After all, the Western Sichuan Army was willing to let them enter the military station to avoid the robbery of the horse bandits, which had already saved their lives.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire from the north. The soldiers of the 3rd Company, who were eating, immediately realized that it was a horse bandit attack. They quickly put down their lunch, took two steamed buns and put them in their bags and rushed out.

"The horse bandits are coming, and all the departments are in place!" On the tower, Wang Yuze's command was heard. He stayed on the tower until the bandits attacked. In the grasslands to the north, a large black wave of people is sweeping south. In front of them, there were twelve figures, shooting back as they ran towards the station. They were the twelve officers and men of the seventh squad of the guard station on the north side.

After discovering that the horse bandits were coming, they abandoned the outpost and returned directly to the military station under the leadership of the squad leader Dai Yulong. After all, it is simply impossible to resist the attack of these thousands of horse bandits with a simple outpost. Only by withdrawing the military station can it be possible to preserve the strength.

In less than two minutes, the units of the third company were already in place. There were three platoons in the third company, of which the first platoon defended the main entrance of the northern station, and the other three sides only stopped one squad each. After all, the north is the focus of the bandits' attack. The third platoon was used as a reserve.

"Company commander, so many horse bandits?" When it came to that large area of black oppression, there were more than a thousand people, Wang Wei couldn't help but change his face.

"Humph! What's the use of coming more? If they can't attack the station, they have only a dead end! "For the defense of the station, Wang Yuze is very confident. Obviously, the horse bandits did not have artillery, and even the Green Horse Army did not have many artillery. It is impossible to rely on human lives alone to break through a well-defended military station.

"Company commander, should we ask the battalion headquarters for help? After all, there are only two hundred of us! Wang Wei said.

"Okay, send someone to inform the battalion headquarters!" Wang Yuze nodded and accepted the mention. Gasanka is so far away from Uzi that it takes hours to ride a horse, and now that it's snowing, it's even longer. Reinforcements won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. The main reason is the poor communication! Although in the major cities of the three western Sichuan provinces, every county in Sichuan Province, telegraph lines have been erected, which can achieve rapid communication. But like the military station on the plateau, the message can only be transmitted on horseback.

"It would be nice if radio communication could be realized sooner rather than later!" Wang Yuze said secretly. This point, it is said that Kawanishi has been studied. Marconi, who invented radio communication, is now only sixteen years old. However, the other person, the Russian ** husband, is already thirty-one years old. This person is now conducting research in this area at the Academy of Sciences in Chengdu. It is said that the clue has been found, and it should soon be able to be successfully invented. For scientific research, Wang Xiao also spared no effort to support. Both Chinese and foreign scientists were attracted to western Sichuan. The West Sichuan Academy of Sciences is one such institution. Every year, the government allocates a large amount of special funds for scientific research. The field covers a wide range of fields, including not only the military industry, but also other natural sciences. Wang Yuze even knew that even the famous Nikola Tesla, a Frankenstein, had been fooled by Wang Xiao. Obviously, in order to improve the energy of western Sichuan in scientific and technological innovation, Wang Xiao has made a bloody investment.

The charge of the cavalry, very fast. When the soldiers of the seventh squad had just arrived at the gate of the station, the horse bandits had already approached. The horse bandits raised their sabers, shouted loudly, and quickly rushed towards the station. Obviously, he planned to rush into the station while the soldiers of the seventh squad entered the station. Unfortunately, they don't have that opportunity.

"Fire!" Wang Yuze ordered loudly.

"Da Da Da!" The Maxim heavy machine gun mounted on the tower immediately spat out the fiery snake. Long cartridge belts made of canvas began to feed ammunition, and fiery bullets shot at the bandits, bringing up blood flowers one after another.
