Chapter 610: Bloodstained Grand Canyon

In order to arrive at the designated place on time, the battalion commander Gu Dashan led more than 1,200 officers and soldiers of the battalion to carry a large amount of gold and silver treasures seized in the trampling village of Sun Million in the Yimeng Mountain, and under the leadership of two guides, he decided to climb over the top of the turtle and take a shortcut to Pingyi.

When the troops were resting in a canyon, two guides suddenly disappeared, the front and rear exits of the canyon were blocked, and the troops fell into the encirclement of bandits.

The fire flashed, the smoke was filled, the shrapnel flew sideways, the explosion sound that could not be distinguished, the dull echo in the canyon, Gu Dashan watched his soldiers, falling under the whistling shrapnel in pieces, the attack came too suddenly, the soldiers did not hide at all, the young body, torn apart by shrapnel, fell in a pool of blood.

The grenades continued to fall down in no number, the bandits were condescending, they fought very skillfully, they couldn't see the figure at all, and they didn't shoot at all, only the grenades flying in the sky, with the breath of death, took the lives of the soldiers, Gu Dashan's face was pale, and his left shoulder was hit by a piece of shrapnel, and he was drenched in blood.

He knew very well in his heart that he had fallen into the encirclement of the bandits, and in the case of extremely unfavorable terrain, the troops had no possibility of breaking through at all, and rushing forward could only be a live target for the bandits, and judging from the density of grenades thrown by the bandits, the number of the bandits who ambushed them would not be less than three thousand.

At the critical moment, it was seen that the old company's fighting suzhì, the first company and the machine gun company, in the case of a sudden attack, did not panic, ran around, suffered the least casualties, and when the first wave of grenades exploded, they found the nearest concealment and began to return fire, but the cliffs on both sides were too steep to see the shadow of the bandits, and they were in an extremely passive state of being unable to be beaten.

The commander of the machine gun company was so angry that he ordered to set up mortars and shell the most dense places of grenades, and this worked, dozens of bandits, who were blown up from the top of the cliff by the exploding shells, but their return fire was limited to this, and the bandits immediately took mortars as the focus of their attacks after discovering the fire that was very threatening to them.

This time, the bandits used light and heavy machine guns, grenades and bundles of explosives, raining down, a violent explosion, dark red fire with gunpowder smoke rising, the explosion of rubble, flying all over the sky, constituting the most lethal damage to the soldiers, ten mortars, eight were blown up, nearly a hundred fighters, fell in a pool of blood.

The company commander's right leg was blown off, he crawled towards a mortar with difficulty, behind him was a dark red blood stain, a seriously wounded soldier, barely leaning on the rock, stuffing the shell into the muzzle, the only two mortars, and let out an angry roar, more than 20 surviving fighters, with these two mortars, kept firing shells on the cliff, from time to time fighters fell, this qiē, did not affect the others.

The bandits, who originally thought that they had completely controlled the situation, were enraged, and it was these two mortars that could not be defeated or blown up caused dozens of casualties to them, and the more violent rain of bullets and grenades carried the cruelty and evil of the bandits, and the hidden places of the machine gun company were shrouded in fire and gunsmoke.

The smoke was blown away by the cold wind, and there was no more cannon sound to fight back, Gu Dashan was behind a stone not far away, looking at this tragic scene, there were several deep wounds on his body, a piece of shrapnel, obliquely inserted in his abdomen, the guards were hurriedly bandaging him, the blue and purple intestines slipped out of the body from the huge wound, Gu Dashan gasped with difficulty, the scene just now made his heart tear like a sharp pain.

A machine gun company, if you say no, it's gone, what kind of battle is this? The bandits were still attacking like crazy, but the soldiers couldn't even find the bandits desperately, the bandits were very cleverly hidden, none of them showed their heads, the canyon was no more than 200 meters wide and no more than 2,000 meters long, and was blown into a dead place by countless grenades and bundles of explosives, and only two hours after the battle began, more than 700 fighters fell in a pool of blood.

The moment Gu Dashan encountered the ambush, he realized that this was by no means an ordinary bandit, the tactics they adopted were very ingenious, the choice of ambush location and the timing of the attack were not something that untrained bandits could do, especially the trick of closing the exits at both ends of the canyon, which was even more vicious, and the bandits' intention was to wipe out all their troops here.

He immediately sent a telegram to the regiment headquarters, "Regiment commander, on the way back to Pingyi, our battalion was suddenly ambushed by a large number of bandits in an unknown canyon about ten kilometers away from the western foot of Guimengding, the terrain here is extremely unfavorable to me, the troops suffered heavy casualties, the exit at both ends of the valley mouth is blocked by the bandits' preset explosives, there is no possibility of breaking through, our unit intends to hold on to the same place, waiting for reinforcements, in addition, this group of bandits is by no means ordinary bandits, very military, well-commanded, well-trained, I reinforce the troops, should be vigilant, the commander of the first battalion Gu Dashan. ”

Soon after the telegram was sent, the battalion commander Gu Dashan was killed because of his injuries, and the radio station was also blown up by the grenade that followed, and the superiors could no longer get a little news from the battalion, Gu Dashan couldn't close his eyes, and when he was dying, he was full of unwillingness, and the little devil fought many times, without hurting a single hair, but he didn't expect that today he was planted here, and more than 1,200 brave soldiers were involved, he was remorseful, unwilling, and left with hatred.

The battle lasted all night, the sound of gunfire and explosions also rang all night, the fire of the explosion, the dark and secluded canyon, from time to time, in the firelight, the figure of the soldier covered in blood, solidified like a rock, how many comrades and good brothers fell around him, the distressed has been numb, only mechanical movements, the bullet in the chamber of the gun, shot at the enemy on the opposite side, even if it missed, it was the roar of a soldier, the independent division is such a force, even if the last soldier remains, as long as it can still pull the trigger, it will not put down the gun and fight to the enduntil the last breath of life.

Every time a burst of gunpowder smoke cleared, the canyon fell silent, the bandits howled and rushed over, they thought that there were no living people in the canyon, and they would shoot bullets, knocking down the bandits who got carried away, leaving dozens of corpses behind, retreating like a low tide, and another crazy burst of grenades and explosives.

So many times, the bandits almost doubt their eyes, are they still facing people? So many grenades and explosives, just a pile of iron, should be blown into several petals, in the canyon, has been turned over a few times, how can there still be living people, these soldiers, how can they not be killed endlessly? An instinctive awe crept in the hearts of the bandits.

The morning sun quietly climbed up the sky in southwest Lu, the brilliant glow reflected the green pines and cypresses all over the mountain, with a dying warrior, pulled the cluster grenade on his body, and the dozen bandits who surrounded him died together, the huge explosion sound, echoed in the canyon and the pine forest for a long time, and passed into the distance like thunder, and the battle was over.

There was a deep crater on the ground, a military cap, with bullet holes, half-hidden in the dirt, and there were more than a dozen bandit corpses scattered around, and the thousands of bandits who surrounded them were all frightened and lay on the ground, not daring to move for a long time, until the smoke cleared, and there was no sound in the canyon.

These bandits were frightened and touched into the canyon, without shouting, each bandit was afraid, for fear that behind the stone, a fatal bullet would be fired, until the entire canyon was searched and found that there was no one alive, these bandits really put their hearts at ease, and the corpses of the soldiers paved the canyon on the land that had been soaked in blood.

Liu Motou proudly stroked his bald head, showed a smug smile on his hideous face, stretched out his hand and patted a short middle-aged man with a fair face, gold wire glasses, and a wild laugh and said: "Mr. Wang, you are my Liu Motou's Zhuge Liang, clever and clever, Liu admires that without you, we can't take advantage of it, these central troops are also hard enough, I have more than 8,000 people, I just gnawed all night, go down and see"

Mr. Wang smiled modestly, Liu Motou, who had already strode off the cliff, did not see it, the moment he turned around, the modesty on Mr. Wang's face suddenly retracted, and the corners of his mouth hung a mocking and contemptuous sneer, he looked down on this bandit leader, with 8,000 people, taking advantage of the geographical advantages, adopting ambushes, dense grenade and explosives attacks, blocking the front and rear exits, dealing with more than 1,000 people, and even fighting for a whole night, and losing the lives of more than 800 people, so it can also be regarded as a victory?

Mr. Wang thought about it, or followed Liu Motou down the mountain, he knew that with this battle, he had gained a firm foothold in this bandit's den and gained a place, Liu Motou was not as much as Mr. Wang thought, in his opinion, what is the death of a few hundred people, what he wants is the result, as long as these central troops are killed, no matter how many people die, it is worth it.

Gu Dashan's troops, when they broke through the Sun family's compound, stomped on Liu Motou's eyeliner in Zhuang Town, and passed this information to the pigeon to Liu Motou's nest holding the calf.

For so many years, he has reaped no less benefits from Sun Million's hands, the two have been in close contact, and Sun Million has become Liu Motou's secret agent at the foot of the mountain, what is going on near Linyi, Liu Motou knows that the two rely on each other, based on this, and the relationship with Sun Million's head to the ground, although Liu Motou is greedy for Sun Million's family wealth, he can't move.

Now the situation has changed, and all the family wealth has fallen into the hands of the Central Army, which makes Liu Motou feel uncomfortable like a cat's claw, but it was a battalion of regular troops, and there were artillery, he didn't dare to act rashly, and he was even anxious with greed, and the donkey was pulling and grinding all over the ground, and he couldn't make up his mind.
