Chapter 404: Strange Gunshots
After breakfast, Company Commander Li was worried that life in the camp would be boring and boring, which would make Commissioner Li feel unpleasant, so he warmly invited Li Xiaodong, Shi Jie, Leng Ranbing, and Li Guanxi to play on the mountain behind the camp.
Although the scenery in this area is good, it is far from a tourist attraction, and there is nothing to do.
However, Company Commander Li has a way. He knew quite well that young men and women like Li Xiaodong, Shi Jie, Leng Ranbing, and Li Guanxi must be interested in playing with guns, so he arranged for a squad of soldiers to bring out all kinds of guns from the company and let the four of them shoot targets on the mountain.
Among the four Li Xiaodong, Leng Ranbing's marksmanship is the best, no matter whether the gun is long or short, she skillfully picks up the firearm, and fires a few shots with a bang, and it is guaranteed to be ten rings.
Seeing that this cold goddess was not only strong, but also so cold and handsome when she even shot, Li Guanxi next to her was even more curious about her, and she was even more in love, wanting to give up Shijie and pursue her instead.
After all, Shijie has said many times that she only has feelings for Li Xiaodong, and there is no possibility between her and him, and Li Guanxi's thoughts are slowly cooling.
Although Li Xiaodong has never played with military firearms, he used to use high-pressure air guns to fight birds with Ah Quan in the Yangjia ravines all the year round, and he can also be regarded as growing up while playing with guns.
And he is very talented in shooting, his hands are very stable, and his eyesight and mental strength level far exceed ordinary people.
Company Commander Li watched from his side, and was really taken aback when he saw that he was getting more and more proficient and playing more rings, and felt that this young royal commissioner was definitely a very talented and good seedling who could become a super sniper.
Leng Ranbing saw it in his eyes, and his eyes lit up.
"Xiaodong, you are very talented, in the first year of my enlistment, I practiced marksmanship for a year, and it is only your current level. ”
"Miss Leng, aren't you a faculty member of the University of Tokyo, and you have also served as a soldier?" Li Guanxi took the opportunity to come up.
On the way to the boat, he heard Li Xiaodong occasionally call her "Teacher Leng", so he specially asked Li Xiaodong euphemistically.
Company Commander Li next to him smiled: "As soon as Miss Leng picked up the gun, I knew that Miss Leng must be a master of playing with guns." I just don't know where Miss Leng used to be a soldier, what kind of soldier it is?"
"Armed police, women's special forces. ”
Leng Ranbing didn't say more, picked up the pistol, and ran out of bullets with a bang, and it didn't take long for someone in the distance to announce the target: "No. 2 target! It's all in the middle again, fifty rings!"
Li Guanxi smacked his tongue secretly, looking at her fair and cold side face, as well as her calm and confident expression, he was even more moved.
After a few people had a lot of fun and shot a lot of guns, Li Xiaodong was about to take the sniper rifle in Leng Ranbing's hand over and get over a sniper rifle, but at this time, in the direction of the market town ten miles away, there was also a staccato gunshot.
A few people thought it was strange, why did this mountain put guns, and there were also people in the direction of the market town far away?
When a few people came to the commanding heights of the hill, Company Commander Li took up the binoculars and looked at them for a while, then slowly put them down, and said with a puzzled expression: "What is going on in the town? Why is there a house smoking?"
Leng Ranbing listened carefully for a while, and said: "It's gunshots, absolutely yes, just like our guns, they are all AK rifles of the Soviet and Russian standards, as well as squad machine guns." ”
She asked Company Commander Li again: "Are there any other troops stationed in the market town?" Are they also shooting targets?"
Company Commander Li shook his head and said, "No." There were only a few local police officers in the town, but they were issued with pistols, no rifles, and no squad machine guns. ”
"Who is that putting guns?" The few soldiers brought by Company Commander Li were also puzzled.
Shi Jie asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that the Red Turban Army, which is hostile to you, has come over?"
Company Commander Li said categorically: "No way. He also explained to several people: "The Red Turban Army is far away in Hekou Town, a hundred miles away, and is facing our army head-on, if they want to fight to Shuanghe Town, they must first defeat our troops in front. ”
"However, none of our troops have come down, and the day before yesterday I received a report from the military that in a battle in Hekou Town, our army won a small victory. ”
Leng Ranbing thought for a while and asked, "Is it possible that the combat troops of the Red Turban Army bypassed the forward position and adopted roundabout tactics to occupy Hekou Town and copy the back road of the Bangfu Army?"
Company Commander Li pondered for a while and said, "There is a possibility, but it is not very likely. ”
"The enemy has no planes and cannot come from the air, and if they want to make a detour, the best way is to transport troops by ship and bypass our positions on land. ”
"But there are a lot of mines laid on the main channel of the Mae River, and there are shore guns of our army on the shore, and another shallow fork in the water is difficult for boats, I really can't think of it, how can they make a detour?"
Several people were a little puzzled after hearing this, and they all felt that this matter was strange.
Before they could enter the camp, they saw a group of ordinary people running over the path leading to the market town.
Li Xiaodong could see clearly that the person running in front happened to be Uncle Chen, so he greeted him and said, "What's the matter, Uncle Chen, why are you here, what happened?"
Chen Bo pointed in the direction of the market town and said breathlessly: "No, it's not good, the Red Turban Army is coming!"
"What!?
This is indeed the case.
Just last night, the shore artillery position of the Bangfu Army in front was blasted by the Red Turban Army agents, damaging several shore guns, causing a certain amount of chaos, that is, at the same time as the blasting, several ships of the Red Turban Army went up the main channel of the Mae River, quietly passed through this section of the water area with shore guns under the cover of night, and arrived at the boundary of Shuanghe Town, where Mayor Wu was located, in the early morning.
Although the main channel of the Mae River is blocked by mines, those mines were originally laid by the Red Turban Army, and they know the specific location of the mines, and the ships can easily avoid them, which is equivalent to the main channel of the Mae River is only a one-way blockade of the state army.
It is also a coincidence that several boats of Red Turban soldiers had just come ashore and sneaked into a reed, secretly rejoicing that the road had been smooth and had not been discovered by the enemy, but they immediately heard dense gunfire in the distance, not only short guns and long guns, but even machine guns.
The leader of the Red Turban Army was taken aback, believing that such a dense and varied number of gunshots could only indicate that the operation had been exposed and that the enemy had begun to react.
So this Red Turban Army didn't care about not resting all night, canceled the plan of going out day and night, and seized Shuanghe Town first, using the market town as a stronghold, and then acted with the camera.
At that time, Chen Bo happened to be discussing with several blacksmiths in the town how to repair the damaged fishing boats, when he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire, and saw the fierce Red Turban Army shooting and killing people while rushing towards the market town from the direction of the riverbank, so he turned around and ran away, and fled the market town with a group of fleeing residents.
