Chapter 107: The offensive and defensive battle between the two armies began

Xiangu Mountain, a mountain located in the city of orange and bordering Linzhou, is said to have been in the ancient period of Longhua. There is a Taoist aunt who lives in seclusion here, and becomes an immortal in this mountain, so the local people who get its favor name this mountain Xiangu Mountain.

As the official road junction mountain range connecting the two places of the state city, it was also known as the hinterland of the throat of Linzhou in ancient times, and if you want to enter the orange fragrance, you must pass through the Xiangu Mountain. Similarly, entering Linzhou from the direction of orange incense, you must also pass through Xiangu Mountain. It was only with the end of the Longhua Dynasty that this mountain was occupied by bandits surnamed Yibai. Since then, many local people have called Xiangu Mountain Baijia Mountain.

At a distance of about a kilometer from the mountain roads on both sides, Chen Mingyang, who led the command, gave the order to stop advancing in a timely manner. Because on the official road not far ahead, there is an unusually eye-catching sign. The words that say 'do not enter, do not enter at your own risk' are enough to prove that this place is not as safe as it seems now.

Chen Mingyang, who was born in the military, looked at the mountains on both sides of the official road and knew that he wanted to pass through this official road. Without taking these two hills, the march of the large army is just a joke. What's more, behind the two hills, the official road also turned a corner, and the bend was also a big mountain. This means that if you want to enter Orange City without breaking through this mountain, you are undoubtedly a fool's dream.

After seeing that this place is really steep, it occupies too much terrain advantage for the defending side. And the attacking side, if they want to rush up the mountain from the official road, I am afraid they will also pay a heavy price. This is another dangerous place like a meat mill!

If you don't test the reaction of the other party, you will inevitably lose the majesty of the revolutionary army. You must know that since the revolutionary army marched into Gannan, they have also gone through a bloody killing to come here. If you stop, you must not be able to explain to the commander-in-chief who is sitting in Nanbin.

However, Chen Mingyang did not rush to attack, but instead asked a very bold officer to carry the flag of the revolutionary army to the place where the notice board was located. Xu Bin, who was also standing on the top of the mountain, watching the movements of the revolutionary army under the mountain, knew that the other party wanted to tear down the sign to prove their determination.

Xu Bin, who sneered in his heart, beckoned Xu Jiacheng beside him and said, "Give me your rifle!" ”

Taking the rifle that was used as a sniper in his hand, Xu Bin directly aimed his gun at the military flag carried by the officer, and fired a 'snap' shot. The officers and men of the revolutionary army and the Xu family army saw that the flagpole of the military flag carried by the officer had been broken, and the military flag that was still floating just now had fallen to the ground. The startled officer, carrying the flagpole that had been broken in the middle, did not know whether he should continue to go up.

When he saw the sign, which was already a few meters away from him, he was about to step forward and remove the sign. Another bullet struck him with precision. At first, I thought that the person who fired the gun would miss it, but a bullet hit him in front of the head lying on the ground.

Realizing that the other party was warning, the officer had no choice but to retreat, and the person who fired the shot did not continue. The officer was allowed to retreat to the position where the army was, and as for the broken flag, he could only roll it up and bring it back.

Xu Bin's three-shot order The officers and soldiers of the Xu family who saw this scene also admired it. You know, breaking a flagpole with a single shot from a few hundred meters away is not something that anyone can do. By showing this hand in front of the officers and soldiers, this division commander undoubtedly told everyone. The division commander was beside them, and the Gannan Army was a disadvantaged revolutionary army under the mountain. When he met Xu Jiajun, he had to go back in embarrassment. The flag carried by the officer before is undoubtedly the most haode proof.

I also saw this scene very clearly, Chen Mingyang picked up the telescope and quickly saw Xu Bin, who was also holding a telescope and observing him. When he was in the telescope, he saw Xu Bin put down the telescope with a smile on his face and gestured to him with two middle fingers. Chen Mingyang also felt that this guy who should be an officer of the Xu Jiajun was too unqualified.

This kind of provocative action compared to the middle finger is something that everyone understands. Looking at the dejected officer who ran back with the flag rolled, Chen Mingyang said unhappily: "Shame, retreat to the back." Order a regiment, organize a battalion to conduct fire reconnaissance, and secondly, order the artillery battalion to prepare for shelling. If you don't teach them a lesson, they are really muddy when they are a revolutionary army. ”

As Chen Mingyang retreated from the forward offensive position to the rear to watch the battle, Wu Hao, the commander of the regiment who had been holding his breath for the past two days, carefully selected a battalion of soldiers. Divided into three roads and began to launch fire reconnaissance towards the mountains on both sides.

At the same time, a group of heavy machine guns began to frantically strafe the newly constructed trenches that could be seen outside the mountain. Cover fire for an attacking battalion!

In the face of these revolutionary soldiers who began to climb up the mountain, the soldiers of the Xu Jiajun who were hiding in the trenches began to listen to the reports of the observers from time to time "two hundred meters" and "one hundred meters", and when they reached fifty meters.

The officer in charge of defense said calmly: "Fight!" ”

As these soldiers of the Xu family army hiding in the trenches set up their rifles and aimed and shot, the revolutionary soldiers who had just climbed all the way and looked a little out of breath. was hit by the first round, looking at the soldiers who rolled down the hill screaming from time to time. The attacking troops, who had come for reconnaissance fire, began to flee quickly down the hill.

At the moment when they turned around and fled, these soldiers of the Xu Family's army, who rarely had a good time, were under the orders of the officer. As calm as possible, he pulled the trigger unsteadily, and shot the revolutionary soldiers fleeing down the mountain in sight.

When the strength of a battalion of reconnaissance firepower retreated, Wu Hao, the commander of the first regiment, once again blackened his face, and this battalion was killed by more than half of the other party in the round of fire reconnaissance just now.

There is less than a company of soldiers who can return to the team now. What made him even more chilling was that among the soldiers who came back from less than a company, except for a few squad leaders. The rest of the officers who led the team were not left left, and all of them were left on the way to attack and retreat just now. The marksmanship of this group of Xu Jiajun also really shocked Wu Hao, the head of the first regiment.

While Wu Hao's containment troops were waiting for the next order, the ambulance team that walked through the trenches quickly carried the soldiers who had just been wounded or killed in battle to the rear hospital for rescue. As for the soldiers who died in battle, they will also be transported back to the training mountain, and after the battle, they will be buried in a unified manner, and according to Xu Bin's promise in advance, their families and funeral affairs will be arranged accordingly and a memorial ceremony.

Some officers who know the movements of the Xu family army know that a martyr's cemetery is being built on the training mountain at this time. In the future, the soldiers of the Xu family army who died in the war will be buried in the martyr's cemetery, and the Xu family army and the local people will always be worshipped. It can be regarded as a loyal affirmation of their loyalty after they died in battle.

In the first round of attack just now, Chen Mingyang, who had been observing from the rear, was very surprised to find out. These soldiers of the Xu family army lurking in the trenches were much more accurate in marksmanship than those of the revolutionary army. What surprised him even more was that when the opponent counterattacked just now, all the rifles were used, and it can be judged from the sound of gunfire that this should be the more common Debang Mao Four rifle in China now.

This kind of Debang Mao-made four rifle is undoubtedly much better in performance and accuracy than the unified rifle they are now equipped with, the Murata rifle made by the Sun Country.

But what made Chen Mingyang very curious was that it was not easy to purchase this kind of unified Debang-made rifle in Longhuaguo. And as far as he knows, the supporters behind the Gannan Army are the people of the United States, and the standard rifles used by the Gannan Army also purchase meme-made weapons. Where did this Xu Jiajun come from, and equip so many troops with this kind of Debang-made weapons?

A round of tentative attacks made him abandon his previous illusions about this so-called bandit-born Xu Jiajun. He could clearly feel from this attack that the defending soldiers were counterattacking.

The timing was very well prepared, and the soldiers counterattacked in an orderly manner, and once the revolutionary army exceeded the attack distance, those who were defending would not shoot and waste bullets. This kind of quality, not to mention a bandit-started army, even if it is a unit trained by him, it is not easy to do this!

What particularly worried him was that he didn't see a single heavy machine gun in the test of fire just now, which was completely abnormal. If these heavy machine guns are not found, the next attack will undoubtedly be a heavy loss. The base of artillery shells he helped with was not much, and if he consumed it, he would not be able to replenish it for the time being, and then he would lose the firepower of these fortified positions, so how would he fight in the next battle?

In any case, it was necessary to reconnoiter the points of heavy machine-gun fire on these defensive positions. Replace the general attack in the next round and create chances. understands that at this time, as a division commander, he must be ruthless. Soon the regiment that had just retreated was ordered to attack again with the whole army. Moreover, in this offensive, the strength of the whole regiment was directly changed from a battalion just now to an attack by the whole regiment.

All a group has to do is to rush up the hill and try to find out the firepower on the mountain as much as possible. Of course, if they can take these defensive positions with all their might, then Chen Mingyang will undoubtedly not even have to fight the next battle. But with the combat level that these Xu Jiajun are showing now, is it possible?

Wu Hao, the leader of the regiment who personally led the team to organize this attack, is also a bloody man, and the big knife on his back undoubtedly proves that he is a guy who likes hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, after receiving the order, his first reaction was to lead the whole regiment to take these positions. Just rush up the hill into the opponent's trenches and use the white-knuckle combat ability of their soldiers. Those who can only sneak around and flee in embarrassment!
