Chapter Seventy-Six: Guard Platoon Raid
Since taking advantage of the corruption of the officers and soldiers of the last dynasty of the country, the bandits surnamed Zhao Qiansun and Li, who were originally entrenched near the training mountain, joined forces to capture the training mountain where the Linzhou Road garrison was located at that time. With the captured weapons and ammunition, he became the actual owner of the training mountain. Relying on the fortifications built by the officials and soldiers over the years, the four families are still living freely here.
Over the years, the officers and soldiers of Linzhou Mansion have also launched several attacks here, but most of them have been defeated by the four families. It can even be said that the official army that fought was defeated, and over time, the official army in the state capital also died of this heart. It's not that the officials and the army really don't have a problem with them, but it takes too much cost to take here.
After all, the fortifications built by the garrisons of the past dynasties were not only to drag artillery or bombard attacks from the sky. Otherwise, if you want to break through that first-line sky defense position, the difficulty is not ordinary.
Perhaps it was these years of comfortable life that made the four originally united families begin to fight for the land in the mountains. If it weren't for the early years, the four surnames liked to strengthen trust in the form of marriage, and it is estimated that the four families would have been fighting each other in order to monopolize the training mountain.
According to the reconnaissance by Xu Bin and his team, among the four surnamed families, the Zhao family and the Li family are the most powerful. They respectively occupied the most Haode plots in the training mountains, among which the Li family was familiar with water, so much so that the freshwater lake in the mountains was also under their jurisdiction.
As for the Qian and Sun families, in order to prevent the annexation of the Zhao and Li families, the two villages have strengthened their marriage over the years, so that the current Lianbing Mountain seems to be stable, but it is actually the same as the Three Kingdoms period. Everyone gets along in harmony on the surface, but in fact, there are often disputes over land and property in private, and the trouble is more serious than a dispute between the villages.
Although there were no fatalities every time, the private relationship was still very tense. However, if you think that this will be able to smoothly divide the four families, it will be a little whimsical. After all, the four bosses of the year were still alive at this time.
It is their existence that makes the descendants below afraid of being angry, and they do not dare to violate the oath made by the four families back then, that is, one family is in trouble and three families support. In order to keep the feng shui treasure of the training mountain, they can fight in private, as long as they don't cause death, no one will say anything.
Once encountering an invasion by a foreign enemy, then the young and strong of the four families must unite to join forces with the outside world. Whoever dares to collude with outsiders or lure wolves into the house, the other three can join forces to punish him.
The four families thrived in the training mountain, and they had the fertile land cultivated by the officials and soldiers of the past dynasties, and they did not have to pay taxes to anything. So that the four families are here, and they are a little rich. In addition, they own a freshwater lake of more than 100 hectares, and rely on the fish harvested from the lake every day, and they can also exchange for supplies that the village cannot produce itself.
According to Xu Bin's reconnaissance, the four old men who laid down the training mountain back then seemed to be very far-sighted. Unlike bandit villages in other places, they live more of a half-peasant life. Every time I go out to rob, it is more to sharpen the youth of the generation, so that they can learn how to rely on guns to protect themselves.
More often than not, they stay in the mountains and work. Even the schools that are now only opened in some large villages, under the unanimous request of these four family heads, there is also a school jointly run by four families in Lianbing Mountain. Outstanding children will even be sent by the village to study in public universities outside the Linzhou capital.
Outside, although these students who came out of the training mountain, although they all belong to different surnames, outside these people are still required to help each other, and they must not lose the tradition of the training mountain. After this information was collected, Xu Bin felt that the four heads of the four families who had lived in seclusion seemed to be people of insight. Know what education means to a family!
If it weren't for the future development of Xu Jiajun, Xu Bin would also be willing to destroy the quiet mountain life of these four families. It's just that he knows very well that a comfortable life will wear out the blood of the four older generations sooner or later.
After the death of the four old men, these conflicts that have accumulated over the years will inevitably burst out and make the four families break up. And the day they broke up was the day when the training mountain changed hands. Xu Bin saw this very clearly, and he also believed that the old men of the four families would not fail to understand.
Two veteran companies, three recruit companies, a guard platoon and an artillery detachment, and an army of nearly 800 men have all moved to the periphery of the training mountain. This time he attacked the training mountain, and finally had Xu Bin, who had thousands of soldiers who could fight, and he didn't even notify Baijiazhai. In his opinion, with nearly 800 trained elite soldiers, he felt that he would definitely win against the four cottages with four faces and discordant hearts.
In order to prevent the four families from fleeing and spreading the news of the fall of Lianbing Mountain as soon as possible, Xu Bin led nearly 500 people to attack from the front. The remaining nearly 300 people, Li Chengbing was responsible for blocking the escape of the four families along the waterway with the help of bamboo rafts built in advance.
As for Wang Erscar, who is indispensable for every battle, this time he drew the paper ball that stayed in Heifeng Village, and took his company and a recruit company to sit in Heifeng Village to prevent the enemy from attacking the mountain.
The key to understanding this battle is how to take down the defenders stationed at the entrance of the first line of heaven. Although there were not many guards on it, once they found that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, with the help of the Haode fortifications built in the early years, they could completely control the situation in one fell swoop. And try to stop the attack of the foreign enemy as much as possible, until the four young bandits with the surname who quickly rushed to support when they heard the gunshots.
It's a pity that they met Xu Bin this time, an elite with special operations experience in his previous life, this kind of cliff that seems to be impossible for anyone to climb, but he can't reach Xu Bin's climbing. Once he reached the top of the roof, he lowered the rope. The defenders, who were defending halfway up the mountain, became a lone army with no way out.
Looking at the towering cliff under the night, Chen Zhengdao, who accompanied Xu Bin as the main attacker, also said worriedly: "Battalion commander, do you see if it is a different person." On this big night, you are climbing with your bare hands, if something goes wrong, how can you let me go back and explain to the second master and others? ”
Xu Bin knew that the other party cared about him, but said with a smile: "Except for me who has climbed here, which of you has this ability?" Don't worry, I've already been up once a few days ago, and I know if it's dangerous. Remember, before the signal is given, so the troops must not act rashly.
When I lead the guard platoon and clean up the defenders above, I will naturally open the mountain gate and let you in. As long as you pass through this line of sky, this training mountain will be at your fingertips. Do you remember it all? ”
It is very clear that Xu Bin's words are a bit arrogant, but they are real. This cliff is close to 100 meters high, not to mention them bandits, even the medicine farmers who often go up the mountain to collect medicine, they are estimated to be scared in the face of this big night climbing. It is also clear that it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to attack the training mountain if they carefully deal with the defenders above. Even if they rely on the number of people to cooperate with the artillery, and finally they take the training mountain, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy losses.
After telling Xu Jiacheng to lead the guard platoon and prepare for mountaineering, Xu Bin carried a bundle of hemp rope on his back, like an ape, and quickly climbed to the top of the cliff under the gaze of everyone. The people who stayed below looked at Xu Bin, who was moving his direction from time to time, and they didn't dare to make a sound in a nervous atmosphere. Only the members of the guard platoon, who I met once last time, seemed relatively calm this time.
Until Xu Bin's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, and he didn't see anything falling, he felt that this short few minutes had passed so long. Just when they thought that Xu Bin would encounter an emergency when he reached the top of the mountain, a string of ropes had already appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Looking at the hemp rope that went down vertically, Xu Jiacheng, who had an experience, said to the team members around him: "I'll go up first, you should pay attention when you climb down, don't make a sound." Did you hear it all? ”
'Clear, platoon commander! ’
As Xu Jiacheng quickly climbed to the top of the rock with the help of a rope and threw off the second rope, two soldiers from the guard platoon also quickly climbed to the top of the mountain with a roll of hemp rope on their backs. Until eight ropes were dropped, a platoon of thirty guards appeared at the top of the hill in full gear.
With the exception of a few soldiers with excellent marksmanship and rifles that served as sniper rifles, the rest of the guard platoon was armed with a submachine gun and a pistol. Faced with the fact that these were all soldiers of the guard platoon carefully selected from various companies, the people of Xu Jiajun would laugh and call them 'double spearmen' when they saw them.
When all the thirty elite guard platoon soldiers arrived, Xu Bin, who had already led people to touch the front post to reconnoiter and return, quickly assigned tasks to several guard platoon leaders according to the distribution of the defenders on the top of the mountain.
Considering that tonight would take the training mountain by surprise attack as much as possible, Xu Bin deliberately equipped the individual crossbow that he had paid a high price to build to the elites of the guard platoon when he went up the mountain. At night, they will use these assassination agents at close range, and they will probably be able to deal with the nearly thirty defenders on the halfway post on the mountainside without firing.
Although Xu Bin didn't want to kill too many of the four families, he knew it very well. These thirty defenders are not dead, and once their whereabouts are exposed, then he may need to kill more people in order to pacify the training mountain.
When the team leaders received their respective tasks, Xu Bin waved his hand, and these thirty reserve special forces who had been trained by him for nearly two months also used the battle of Training Mountain for the first time to announce their arrival to the world!
