Chapter 25, First Command
"Probably not, the bandits don't have clairvoyance, how could they come so soon!" Although Zhao Jisheng said this, anyone could hear that there was no confidence in his words.
It is to numb oneself with words of comfort.
How did the people in the village in front of them get robbed by bandits, is it because they were unlucky?
Generally speaking, bandits will send two people to guard the main traffic routes, and the scouts sent out for the battle are a kind of role.
At this time, maybe the bandits have already received the news and are rushing here.
After thinking about it, Li Ping'an's face changed color and became even more sad.
The gun didn't reach his head, but Yuan Chenming was still calm. He said calmly: "We don't have a choice, we have to show our muscles and let the bandits know that we are not easy to mess with." “
"What do you say, as long as it works, we can try." Xu Xiaoyong was a little sick and rushed to the doctor.
These people in the meeting are also the role of being commanded when they are fighting, and how to direct the war is a little difficult for them.
Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.
Fighting this battle is not so mysterious, but it also determines the fate of their thousands of people. It's easy to say if you win, but if you lose, the consequences are unimaginable.
Yuan Chenming stood up and observed the terrain here. The mountain road passes from the foot of the mountain, there is a depression more than ten meters deep on the left, and the mountain is relatively gentle on the right, and it is an unnamed mountain more than 100 meters higher than the road.
With this kind of terrain, it couldn't be better for an ambush.
"Captain Li, the regiment commander has given you thirty grenades, and the militia should have more than fifty grenades now, right?"
"Yes, grenades are a good thing to kill enemies, and it's enough for one of the bandits to reward them with one. But people are not stupid, they will be shot from afar. They only have a few guns, and they can't fight. ”
Doesn't it mean that the militia are all ghosts and goblins, and they play the little devils around, which you don't understand?
Yuan Chenming could only patiently explain: "You take the militia team, pick a dozen reliable people, and immediately go to the mountain on the right to ambush." As soon as the guns rang out, one grenade per person, all of them were smashed into the middle of the bandits. ”
He smiled and gestured: "More than 20 grenades, enough for the bandits to drink a pot." The militia rushed up and killed with bayonets, which was easier than cutting corn. ”
Li Ping'an looked at Da Xiucai's appearance of scolding Fang Xuan, and felt that it was that smell. When he used to be a soldier in the 772nd Regiment, the regiment commander gave an order, which is what it looked like.
But he couldn't agree immediately, but set his eyes on Xu Xiaoyong and asked for advice.
Xu Xiaoyong imagined in his mind that the blueprint designed by Yuan Chenming for him did have a certain feasibility. But there were some places where he didn't understand why the bandits obediently entered the preset position and were beaten.
If you want Yuan Chenming to look at it, this question is very untechnical. Since ancient times, if you want to lure the enemy into your ambush circle and be beaten, you have to do targeted seduction, so that the enemy will fall into the trap without realizing it.
To seduce bandits, give a way in one sentence - people die for money, and birds die for food.
Xu Xiaoyong thought thoughtfully, "What do you mean ......?"
"yes, that's it." Yuan Chenming smiled and gave an affirmative answer, if there was a beard for him to brush, then the teachable appearance of the child would be more vivid.
As soon as a consensus was reached here, the guard post sent by Li Ping'an brought the news that the bandits were about to arrive.
The crowd hurriedly acted according to the arrangement.
It's okay to give advice, but it's not okay to go into battle in person. is talking about Yuan Chenming.
Xu Xiaoyong went to get busy, and the second fool climbed up the mountain to follow the team to prepare for an ambush, and no one cared about him.
For safety reasons, he pulled the two female soldiers back more than 100 meters, and found a mountain rock to hide behind.
Along the mountain path, the people who were in a hurry were dressed in a variety of clothes, carrying knives and guns, and they looked like heroes in Liangshan.
The one who walked forward at the head had one eye covered by a black cloth, and was dressed in satin clothes, with two twenty rings pinned to his waist.
Obviously, the bandit leader with one eye is talking about him.
In this area of Xiaoyin Mountain, not only does everyone know about it, but it is also the character that can make children cry.
At night, if a child keeps crying, the parents will say, "Cry, cry again, be careful if you hear the sound with one eye, and kill you and take you away." ”
The crying stopped abruptly, and the effect was immediate.
Basically, this twenty-mile radius is their sphere of influence. The village has to pay grain and money on a quarterly basis, and pay taxes. Merchants passing through this place also had to pay money and collect taxes.
If you are not convinced, you don't need to say much about the end.
It makes this twenty-mile radius look like an independent kingdom, and it's simply lawless.
No government wants to see this kind of thing in China, in the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1934 AD.
A new county magistrate came to Anding County, which had been plagued by mountain bandits, and invited a regiment of the Jin Sui Army from the Shanxi Emperor Yan Gaoguan to come and suppress the bandits.
At that time, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses drove over, and the whole county shook. It was gongs, drums, firecrackers, flags, crowds, and welcoming crowds of people lined up three miles outside the county.
Everyone is saying that they are all over with one eye, and these thousand people can drown them with a single spit, let alone a thousand guns.
In fact, at that time, the mountain bandits, who had developed to more than 100 guns and a team of more than 200 people, saw that the Jin Sui army was powerful, and directly gave up their nest and hid in the mountains.
Playing hide and seek in the mountains, the Japanese who had undergone rigorous training later could not catch their opponents, let alone the Jin Sui army.
One eye circled with the Jin Suijun army in the mountains for a month, and hid for another month, and the loss was not big.
When the army that surrounded him was gone, he stood up again and declared himself victorious. became famous for a while, and became a well-known figure on the road.
He was also smart, and he never invaded the county again.
The old-style army had to pay for the promotion, and to fight a battle, it had to have money to pay the military salary and feed the officers and soldiers before they could act.
As soon as the officials and squires in the county town settle the accounts, come on, instead of pooling money to invite the army, it is better to let this guy rob it!
After three or four years of chic, the scale of the development of the team under one eye is getting bigger and bigger. Before the Japanese, there were already more than 200 guns, and they were so famous that they all knew about them in Taiyuan.
Some officials also suggested: Fighting bandits is too costly, time-consuming and laborious, so it is better to recruit peace. Give the position of the head of the security regiment and pull it into the system and slowly adapt.
Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to be able to get a powerful armed force and solve a serious problem for a confidant.
Coincidentally, in the third or seventh year, the Japanese came, and the person who made this suggestion took refuge in the Japanese and became the magistrate of the puppet government.
One eye got two letters of appointment, one was the head of the anti-Japanese militia group, and the other was the captain of the Anding County Garrison.
Before he had time to decide which side to take refuge in, the Eighth Route Army came.
This time, they were hit by hard stubble, and there were only a few dozen people left in a battle with a team of more than 200 people. Without strength, both positions were also lost.
The Eighth Route Army, this beam is over.
But at the moment, he really didn't dare to touch the Eighth Route Army, so he bullied and bullied the people.
"Lao Jiu, what about the person you are talking about?"
"The big boss is just ahead, not far away."
