146.Chapter 146
The use of high-powered weapons against fixed points of fire on the battlefield is a common tactic, but it does not mean that everyone knows about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so at this time, Zheng Yu and Luo Ge did not realize that they were in great danger. It could be devastating at any time, but instead it was able to control the machine gun and fight it well.
Originally, they were waiting to pick up Ding Chen as planned, and then suddenly found that gunshots rang out on the highway, and someone was rapidly approaching in their direction along the road.
They were able to detect this situation in time, mainly thanks to the intimidation of Ding Chen when he left. Zheng Yu was very worried about the enemy who might appear from "all directions", and at the same time, he was not sure whether "he could surrender at that time", so he had to be vigilant as much as possible.
When a large group of people suddenly appeared on the road, Zheng Yu almost started a fire, but it was Luo Gra who stopped him. Because she felt that this machine gun might not be able to handle so many people.
If a different person were here, he might not let the enemy pass through the front for this reason. But for Rogge, it was a natural thing to do. She doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to the apartment, and she won't put herself in for the sake of the apartment's allies. followed Li Xiang to rescue Ye Tianlong, in order to get contribution points, and she could live a better life in the apartment in the future, which does not mean that she is willing to sacrifice her life for this goal. And to be honest, if Ding Chen hadn't been sure to come, she would definitely not have signed up.
Zheng Yu's idea is relatively simple and he doesn't have such strong political sensitivity, so if Rogge doesn't let him fire, he won't fire.
It turned out that Rogge's decision saved the lives of most of Ye Tianlong's caravan.
Wait until the people in front of them are almost gone, and a group of people chase after them, and in the process, no mortars and bazookas are used, and the pursuers can only release their guns while running, and the accuracy of the iron tube gun is limited, so there is not much gain in addition to wasting bullets, so most people just bury their heads in pursuit. This is the reason why neither Ding Chen nor Xiao Cai noticed the sporadic gunshots.
The person running in front of him was Ye Tianlong and his caravan.
Because of his background, Ye Tianlong has a lot of bad habits of the second ancestor, but these do not affect his mind. Just in terms of command ability, he and Captain Fan are actually not much different, after all, they are both taught in the same school, except that they are not in the same class, maybe even the teacher is a person.
So what really determines the outcome of this battle is how many good cards there are in the hands of two people, and whether there is a chance to play them.
Originally, Captain Fan had more people in his hands than Ye Tianlong, and there were more targeted heavy weapons, and he was calculated or unintentional, and under the sneak attack, Ye Tianlong did not have much chance to turn the tables.
But it was clear that luck was on Ye Tianlong's side this time. Because the people of the old city lit a fire without any scruples, Ye Tianlong became alert. However, Captain Fan did not have many options, and he could not easily withdraw the attack order. This is partly because his forces have already begun to unfold. On the other hand, it was also because he couldn't stay in the wild for too long - in contrast, this trade route was Ye Tianlong's home turf, not his.
Within the control area of District 11, Captain Fan couldn't do anything, and after leaving District 11, there were several large and medium-sized control areas bordering each other. These control areas are all Ye Tianlong's old customers, and Captain Fan didn't dare to do it. The only safer section of the road is the 200 kilometres between the old city and Ben Thanh.
Two hundred kilometers is a long way to go, but in reality, if you bury your head and run wildly, it is a matter of day and night, considering that they have to attack in the middle of the road, the distance at which they can attack will have to be cut by half. In this way, Captain Fan can really use only today and tomorrow.
If Captain Fan couldn't seize this opportunity, he would have to wait for Ye Tianlong to return from Bincheng before he could attack. But his two hundred people are not like Ye Tianlong's caravan can be supplied along the way, a large amount of supplies can only be carried with him, and when that time comes, not only will he have to risk starvation, but there will be more variables after a long time.
That's why Captain Fan decided to maintain the decision to attack.
This proved to be a mistake, because Ye Tianlong's caravan was even more vigilant than he expected, and the enemy situation was discovered almost at the same time that Ye Tianlong raised the alert level.
After losing the suddenness, the two sides can only fight for strength. The mortars deployed one step ahead allowed Captain Fan to take advantage of them, but then the caravan's vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns returned to color, and in the absence of fortifications, the 12.7mm heavy ammunition was almost indestructible. Captain Fan had to muster firepower to knock out the heavy machine gun. By the time the heavy machine gun was knocked out by the combination of 40 fire and mortars, he had lost all of his bazookas and most of his shells.
Then the two sides fought each other with a round of grenades, and in a short time a staggered front was formed.
The Fan brigade suffered a loss because he was going to fight a war of annihilation, so it scattered all the people, and it seemed to occupy the periphery, but in fact, it was not a local superiority in troops. This was quickly discovered by Ye Tianlong.
At this time, although Ye Tianlong didn't know why there was a sudden smoke behind him, since the smoke exposed the existence of the ambusher, it meant that it was not the enemy, so he immediately decided to break through backwards. Although he himself understood that it was safer to go to Bincheng than to go back to the old city, considering the losses on the way, Ye Tianlong still chose to go back to the old city, and it was a big deal to fight another battle to defend the old city.
Fan's brigade had five infantry squadrons, a reconnaissance company, and a machine gun platoon, plus half of the guard squad around him, numbering more than 200 people. Now the first to fourth infantry teams and reconnaissance companies have been dispersed, and the fifth team, as a reserve, has also divided half of its people to support Xiao Cai, and there are not many people in his headquarters, and Ye Tianlong concentrated his forces to counterattack, and he was crushed immediately, so he had to retreat from the road, and watched Ye Tianlong discard his baggage without hesitation and break out in front of him.
Although Ye Tianlong didn't know who the person who commanded the siege was yet, he had already guessed the general idea from the composition of the firepower, so he decisively discarded all the supplies. At this time, since the gap had been opened, of course he did not dare to stop, and immediately ran along the road with his own people. However, he had an extra mind, since there were unknown forces in front of him, he did not run in the front, but fell a little behind, letting his subordinates take the lead. These are the same people that Li Xiang and the Duke met.
Although the people of the caravan have also received formal military training, and they will also practice field attack and defense when they are fine, this kind of breakthrough and escape is still a new thing after all, so they ran all the way, and the formation had long been dispersed.
Ye Tianlong ran for a while, and gradually came back to his senses, and found that if he continued to run like this, he would not have to encounter the enemy, but he would be afraid to disperse. And the originally dense gunfire has been left behind, because of the mountainous situation, the enemy's mortars have no way to pursue, temporarily safe, so they immediately began to gather the team, thinking that it is a little bit of people to catch a little people.
Gathering troops while running is a difficult job, so Ye Tianlong saw that there was a bend in the road, and immediately decided to set up a blocking position here and gather the troops at the same time.
He didn't notice that the position he chose was actually under the guns of Zheng Yu and Rogge, just a little behind.
Under the sudden attack of Captain Fan, the caravan suffered great losses, only seventy or eighty people broke through, and about one-third of them were killed or wounded and scattered. Fortunately, a few of his backbones were still there, so soon the crowd stopped in a chaotic manner.
Before he had time to complete the reorganization, Captain Fan had already led people to catch up. In addition to the machine gun platoon, each of his combat squads had a machine gun, and the light firepower was much stronger than Ye Tianlong's. Just now, when Ye Tianlong relied on the heavy machine gun in the car to fight back, he could still divide it equally, but after losing the heavy machine gun at this time, it was a bit insufficient to rely on the two general-purpose machine guns around him, and he could hardly suppress the offensive of Captain Fan.
Captain Fan knew that success or failure lay in this move, and Ye Tianlong must not be allowed to organize a defensive line, so while directing the machine gun cover, he organized a group of backbones to rush over and throw grenades in the rain of bullets. Originally, this work was the best to do with four fires, but unfortunately it was lost when the heavy machine gun was fired just now.
Originally, this plan was infinitely close to success, as long as the grenade destroyed Ye Tianlong's machine gun, Captain Fan could use the advantage of being outnumbered to catch the ducks. But at this time, Zheng Yu had already recognized Ye Tianlong, and then guessed who was fighting with Ye Tianlong.
So when Zheng Yu's machine gun fired, the grenadiers who were unsuspecting from the opposite side fire suddenly fell, and the grenades that had already pulled off the firing rope, but had not had time to shoot exploded one after another in the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, this death squad was wiped out.
