"I only need to add a machine gun to the entrance of the cave, and I can't do anything if I send a regiment of troops. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shouting out such arrogant words, it can be seen that Zhao Wu has confidence in defending the Tiger Cave, but in terms of the terrain around the Tiger Cave, it can no longer be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it should be said that it cannot be attacked normally.

Tiger Cave is located halfway up the cliff on the east side, about thirty meters above the ground and forty or fifty meters from the top. On its left side (from the direction of the cave entrance) there is a sheep intestine path, which has long been dug up by Zhao Wu and cannot pass from here, even if it is passed with the help of tools, there is a large stone erected at the entrance of the cave, and a row of eye-catching is artificially carved out in the middle, which can be blocked by fire.

The entrance of the cave is built with bunkers, rock gates, and trenches, and the most depressing thing is that there is a rock of several square meters extending outward at the top of the cave, like the brim of a duckbill hat, and the angle is slightly downward to cover the hole, so that you can't put explosives from above. According to the common people, there is a sky hole inside this big stone, which can hide two or three people, and there is a sky eye in the hole, which can be shot outward with a machine gun...... This is the terrain, and it makes people desperate to look at.

"Qi Zixuan!"

"Here!"

"Take your men, feint from the front, reconnoiter the enemy's fire deployment and then retreat, don't get too close. Huang Debao also had no choice, everyone discussed for a long time, but did not come up with a feasible plan, as if dealing with a hedgehog had no way to speak, so he had to send someone to reconnoiter the enemy's firepower first to see if there were any loopholes to be found.

"Yes!"

Everyone stood under a ridge a few hundred meters away, watching Qi Zixuan and the soldiers of the third class scatter, and the cat's waist touched the bottom of the tiger cave.

It is certain that the bandits were condescending, and they had definitely seen the soldiers of the third class a long time ago, but the soldiers ran until they were a hundred meters below the tiger cave, and they still didn't shoot, which made Huang Debao frown and muttered: "These damn bandits are so calm." ”

Zhang Qingshan put down the binoculars and said to Huang Debao: "Platoon commander, you can't get any closer, otherwise, as soon as the bandits open fire, I am afraid that there will be casualties when the comrades of the third squad withdraw." ”

"Bang, bang!" Huang Debao drew his pistol and shot twice into the sky.

The fighters of the third squad, who received the signal, immediately opened fire on the Tiger Cave.

What is surprising is that the soldiers of the third squad crackled for half a minute, and the bandits in the tiger cave did not fight back.

"Platoon commander, I think this is a trap set by the bandits, deliberately letting the comrades of the third squad approach. In my opinion, it is better to let the comrades of the third class withdraw first, and then we will think of other ways. ”

"Bang! bang!"

Qi Zixuan was about to take the machine gunner forward in a roundabout way, received the signal, looked back, and saw Huang Debao beckoning to him, and then looked at the tiger hole, Qi Zixuan gritted his teeth and turned around to come back, but at this moment, the bandits actually fought back.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da! da! da......"

The enemy is condescending, the distance is close, and if you shoot at each other, our side will definitely suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, Qi Zixuan was calm and strictly ordered the soldiers to use the ridge ditch to evade and retreat while fighting. As luck would have it, only one comrade had a bullet scratching his left arm. It is conceivable that if they advance a few dozen meters further, the bandits will absolutely open firepower, and the fighters of the third squad will be lucky if they can withdraw half of them.

"It's really hard to talk about the tiger cave built by these damn bandits, there are no dead ends at all, plus two light machine guns...... Shooting at them from the bottom up is definitely going to be a big loss...... Platoon commander, it seems that he has to think of something else. ”

Huang Debao nodded, looking at the Tiger Cave with a solemn gaze, there, Zhao Wuzheng crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed to this side shouting something, although he couldn't hear what he was shouting, but it was certain that it was definitely not a good word. When many comrades saw this scene, their hearts burned with anger and they secretly made up their minds: they must capture the Tiger Cave.

A simple map of the situation inside the cave has been drawn according to the dictates of the captives and civilians, and the situation outside the cave is clear at a glance, but the question is, it is just a kick away: how can we attack the entrance of the cave?

Seeing that everyone was gathered together, each with a sad face, but no one spoke--everyone did not think of a feasible solution at all, and there was no way to say anything, so they could only meditate hard. Tian Wannian, the head of Luoxi Township, who had been standing aside without speaking, said with a smile: "Platoon Commander Huang, why did you forget, I specially brought two earthen cannons here." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed, and they all looked up at him.

"Look at my memory!" Huang Debao patted his thigh and stood up, and smiled at Tian Wannian: "Township Chief Tian, I'm sorry, you see that I'm so anxious, I actually forgot all the good things you brought, damn it, it's really damn, I'm really sorry." ”

"It's okay! Everyone is doing something for the revolution. ”

After Huang Debao nodded, he suddenly thought of something, and said happily: "Township Chief Tian, since you can prepare the earth cannon in advance, it means that you have a way to deal with this tiger cave, teach everyone quickly, lest we have to fight such a hole next time, and we will not be as sad as now." ”

Tian Wannian immediately stepped forward and told his plan, and when everyone heard it, they all felt that it was feasible: use those two earthen cannons to bombard the entrance of the cave, and when the enemy was panicking, send a team of elite soldiers to attack the path on the left side of the cave entrance -- the broken gap of this path is only three or four meters, as long as the three soldiers in front of each carry a log four or five meters long and stand on the broken hole, they can rush through. Just rush to the mouth of the cave and you'll be good to go.

This strategy seems perfect, but if you think about it a little, you will know that this strategy is full of fatal holes.

Lao Xu, the captain of the Self-Defense Forces, first raised the biggest loophole: "Township Chief Tian, as far as I know, this earthen cannon is not accurate, I don't know how you can guarantee that the earthen cannon will not hurt your comrades at that time?"

The earth cannon is made of pine trees, reinforced with wire or steel rings on the outside, not only there is no rifling, but also, if you can't hit many cannons, the cannon chamber will explode, so that you just want to find a familiar earth cannon can't find it, and it is extremely unstable in all aspects.

Tian Wannian pulled his two sons over and said with a smile: "These two stinky boys love to play with earth cannons when they have nothing to do, and they have some experience, playing tiger holes, within two or three hundred meters, at least sixty percent of them can be hit accurately." ”

Tian Wannian is not a soldier and doesn't understand what this sixty percent grasp means, but all the Red Army commanders and fighters gasped together: It is indeed very remarkable to be able to play sixty percent of the earth artillery, but the problem is that what is required now is an accurate job, not to mention sixty percent, even ninety percent is not good. In case your comrades start charging down the trail, and your remaining forty percent happen to come, even if you don't hurt your own comrades, but blow up the wood you just added, do you let the comrades who just rushed over choose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff or be killed by bandits?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Debao groaned for a while and said, "Otherwise, let Da Yong and Xiao Yong shoot a few shots first, and let's see the specific situation." ”

Everyone knew that this was a tactful refusal, and they all agreed.

Tian Wannian also understood this, and when the soldiers went to carry cannons and shells, he whispered to his two sons: "Da Yong, Xiao Yong, they obviously don't believe in your ability, this is falling on Lao Tzu's face, now, whether Abba's old face can be kept, it depends on your brothers' skills." ”

"Abba, don't worry, my brother and I will definitely fight for you. ”

The brothers want to compete very much, but the problem is that fighting artillery is a technical job, and the accuracy of earth artillery is greater than technology, so it depends on the will of God.

When the earthen cannon was lifted to a place about 280 meters away from the Tiger Cave, the angle and height were adjusted, the gunpowder was loaded, and then the cannonballs were fired, and the brothers looked at each other and confidently lit the fuse themselves.

"Knock! knock!"

"Boom! boom!"

One shell fell seven or eight meters to the right of the Tiger Cave, and one fell six or seven meters above the Tiger Cave, and there was nothing to say except the dust from the explosion.

The first shell is a test cannon, it can have this effect, Huang Debao saw a little confidence, stepped forward and encouraged: "The test cannon can have this effect, yes, fight hard, work hard, if you can kill those enemies at the entrance of the cave with one shot, I will give you the first credit." ”

Da Yong and Xiao Yong smiled and hurried to debug ...... Others don't know, but they know very well, the shot just now, they really want to fight for their father, but who knows that it has become like this, which is a bit shocking.

This time, the two were more cautious, and after a long time, they lit the fuse again.

"Knock! knock!"

"Boom! boom!"

A shell landed three or four meters below the entrance of the Tiger Cave, a little better than the previous one, at least, and in the dust, a small tree growing on the cliff was blown off. And another cannonball made all the audience stunned: Lao Xu is a crow's mouth, and this cannonball just hit the trail break twenty or thirty meters to the left of the hole, which reminded everyone of Lao Xu's words: When the attack reaches a critical moment, give such a shot, do you let the soldiers who rushed over choose to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff, or should they be beaten into a sieve by the enemy?

Tian Wannian's face was pale, he rushed up, and scolded his two sons while punching and kicking: "Dog things that can't get on the table, I usually see that you practice well, but when you get to a formal occasion, you will be strained, I ......"

The crowd hurriedly stepped forward to convince them.

Zhang Qingshan also wanted to step forward to dissuade him, glaring at the Tiger Cave as he walked, but after just a few steps, he stopped abruptly and stared blankly.

A few seconds later, Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and shouted, "Good fight!"

Everyone glared at them almost at the same time: they are all their own comrades, unity first, who is so blind?

Under the persuasion of everyone, Tian Wannian had just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and when he heard this, his old face suddenly became a little hot, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that it was a Red Army comrade. He could only endure his anger and asked in a deep voice: "This comrade of the Red Army, my two sons are dog meat and can't get on the table, but their revolutionary enthusiasm is still good, why are you always sarcastic." ”

Zhang Qingshan saw the anger in Tian Wannian's eyes, and knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he hurriedly pointed to the entrance of the Tiger Cave and explained with a smile: "Township Chief Tian, you misunderstood, I don't mean to be sarcastic, don't believe it, you take a closer look at the entrance of the Tiger Cave." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance of the Tiger Cave in unison......
