Chapter Ninety-Six: The Difference Between a Rookie and a Veteran
readx;
From the telescope, I saw that two or three hundred meters away on the mountainside, a man in patched clothes was headed, presumably he was a guide, followed by ten soldiers of the national army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The group walked briskly, and when they reached a hundred meters away from the three forks, the speed began to slow down, and after walking more than ten meters, the guide who took the lead stopped, looked at this side, turned his head and said a few words to a national soldier beside him, the national soldier handed him the binoculars on his body, he picked it up, and looked carefully at the two mountains on this side of the three forks.
I have to say that Zhang Qingshan sent Qi Zixuan over, originally to make a bad and angry, but now that it looks like a crooked attack. As soon as he saw that only eleven enemies had appeared, but there were no follow-up troops to follow, Qi Zixuan hurriedly said: "Spread the word quickly, this is the enemy's 'pathfinder', don't shoot." ”
In the dark, the guide of the enemy picked up the telescope and looked at it for less than three seconds, when an accident appeared.
"Bang!"
A gunshot broke the scene.
The guide looked down at the wound on his right chest, and when he saw the blood pouring out, he touched it, and then looked up at the mountain not far away, and fell headlong.
As if the freeze-frame was broken, everyone was stunned, and the scene that had just been peaceful was shattered in an instant with the fall of this enemy guide.
"Damn, which shot it?" Qi Zixuan immediately scolded. And Niu Yingwu on the side shouted: "Call me!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Bullets rained down on those ten enemies.
At the same time, the enemy's reaction was not slow, and they reacted at the moment when Niu Yingwu opened fire. The leader yelled "There is an enemy, get out!" and he and his men either fired at the hill in a panic or rolled straight to both sides of the trail, dodging the numerous bullets through the woods.
And at this time, I saw the difference between a rookie and a veteran. Qi Zixuan's side immediately opened fire, but the soldiers of the third company on the hill on the right did not fire a single shot.
But more than 80 guns were fired almost at the same time, and there were so many bullets that someone could not dodge being shot. Suddenly, screams and insults erupted. But that's just it, although I don't know how many were killed or wounded, there are definitely reports that the enemy fled back.
"Don't fight, don't fight, save bullets and prepare for the next battle. After firing a few bullets, seeing that the enemy had disappeared into the forest, and if he continued to fight, it would be meaningless except for wasting bullets, Qi Zixuan immediately shouted to stop everyone from continuing to shoot.
"Fuck, which bastard fired the gun just now?" As soon as the gunshots were heard, Qi Zixuan was furious and looked for the initiator.
It is indeed irritating, and even the enemy can't see such a simple temptation, and as soon as he comes, he will be fooled and destroy the entire ambush plan: generally speaking, any army in the process of advancing, will send a small force to the front to investigate, which is also a kind of temptation to the enemy, to put it bluntly, this small force is gambling with their lives, betting on whether the enemy will be fooled and shoot at them along the way, so such people are also called pathfinders. As long as the slightest baptism of war, even the most basic soldiers, know this most simple and primitive method of temptation, so it will not be of great effect on both sides of the enemy, and it is only a deceptive way of self-comfort. But he never expected that today, he actually succeeded, which made Qi Zixuan not only angry at the destruction of the ambush plan and lose face, but more importantly, he had already been startled, and he was worried about facing the enemy's attack next - ambush warfare, as long as the enemy came in, no matter whether the final success or not, Fu Zixuan could achieve the greatest loss to the enemy at the minimum cost.
Now, the ambush plan has been aborted and will turn into a brutal confrontation. However, the weapons of the Red Army were inferior to those of the National Army, and they were all close combat on weekdays, so that the enemy's heavy weapons could not play a role, and now it will become a defensive war, so that once the enemy has a small steel cannon, his side will be at a disadvantage.
With Qi Zixuan's roar, more than ten meters away, a young man of eighteen or nineteen raised his hand, although he lowered his head, he could still see his red and ashamed face: "Report, yes...... It's my gun...... Gun misfire...... up"
By the end, his voice was so weak that only he could hear it.
Qi Zixuan was about to roar and scold this guy who made the whole plan abort, but when he saw the young man's ashamed face, he seemed to remember something, opened his mouth, sighed, and said, "Forget it, you should take it as a lesson, just pay attention to it next time." ”
I can imagine it with my ass, this young man must be the first time to touch a gun, and he has not even been on the battlefield yet, and this is the first time he has been on the battlefield, so he is naturally very excited. Then, when he saw the enemy, he was excited, nervous, and other emotions came up, and his fingers were bent on the trigger, and it was strange that his gun would not go off...... And this is also the reason why Niu Yingwu had to let the guerrillas experience a baptism of war in the first place.
"Yes!" The young man also knew that he was wrong, but the mistake had happened and could not be recovered, which made him scared and nervous to the extreme, but Qi Zixuan forgave him so lightly that he immediately looked at Qi Zixuan with great gratitude, saluted with his head held high, and assured loudly...... It is conceivable that if Qi Zixuan insulted him in public once, this young man would live in self-blame and guilt for a long time in the future, and even his life would be ruined by this blow.
Qi Zixuan did this, although he restrained the anger in his heart, but let a young man get a new life, because he almost made the same mistake back then, at that time, although the old squad leader criticized him fiercely afterwards, he did not criticize him in public, which made him extremely grateful. Therefore, he also deeply understands that at this moment, the fragility of this young man's heart is not to criticize in public, but to consider from the perspective of the other party's future.
"Old Niu, hurry up and take your people down the back mountain. ”
"No, I don't. Niu Yingwu's face was solemn, his eyes were firm, and he replied: "Although our travelogue brigade is not as good as the main force, we will never escape from the battle, and let the main force replace us." Besides, if they don't go through a baptism of war, they will only be children who will never grow up. ”
Qi Zixuan pondered for a while, probably feeling that what he said just now was a bit unkind, and he looked down on people and attacked the guerrilla brigade. Moreover, he also felt that what Niu Yingwu said later made sense, at least, the assault company had not yet experienced positional warfare, and now, taking advantage of this opportunity, the number of enemies is not large, and there are many weapons on his side, and it is time to test. He nodded and said, "Old Niu, now the ambush battle is about to turn into a positional battle, and the enemy may come at any time...... So, then, take the guerrilla brigade to the left of this hill and defend it. ”
Niu Yingwu nodded very knowingly in agreement.
"I'll send you another correspondent to facilitate our contact. As he spoke, without waiting for Niu Yingwu to answer, he said to a soldier not far away: "Lao Guo, come over here." ”
"Lao Niu, this is Lao Guo, he used to be an artilleryman. ”
Niu Yingwu is not stupid, as soon as he heard this introduction, he knew what Qi Zixuan meant: this old Guo was born as an artilleryman, and combined with the current situation, Qi Zixuan sent him to the guerrilla brigade, definitely to instruct the comrades of the guerrilla brigade how to dodge the shells.
Sure enough, Qi Zixuan instructed Lao Guo again: "Lao Guo, if one of the comrades in the guerrilla brigade is injured by a shell, I will settle accounts with you when I go back." Got it?"
"Understood. ”
After Niu Yingwu and Lao Guo joined forces with the guerrilla brigade to defend on the left side of the mountain, Qi Zixuan immediately asked everyone to disperse to the back mountain, preparing to dodge the shells, leaving only three people as observation posts to observe the enemy situation after the shells. When everything was ready, a comrade beside him asked in a low voice: "Platoon commander, do you want to take this opportunity to pull up the assault company?"
"Pull it up?" Qi Zixuan glared at him angrily, and said, "What are you doing pulling it up? Are you going to eat shells when you are huddled together?" Send someone to tell the company commander about the situation here, he naturally knows what to do. ”
"Then should we notify the three companies on the opposite hill?"
"No!" Qi Zixuan subconsciously glanced at the opposite hill and said, "If Lao Li can't even see this way, he doesn't have to be the company commander." ”
Company commander Zhang Qingshan dared to contradict a deputy regiment commander, and then listened to the tone of Qi Zixuan, the platoon commander, obviously did not look at the company commander of the brother company, it can be seen that the assault company is proud to the core.
In fact, from a geographical point of view alone, Sanlian's side has a big advantage: on the side of the hill facing the three forks, there is a cliff about forty or fifty meters long and six to ten meters high, and it is difficult for the enemy to attack from the front. In the direction of the three-way junction faced by the assault company, there was a slope and a lot of low woods -- this was also the reason why division commander Wu Zhengqing asked the assault company to back up the guerrilla brigade.
"Platoon commander, have you been waiting for a little too long, why hasn't the enemy shown up yet? What kind of crooked idea are they trying to fight?" After waiting for a while, not to mention seeing the enemy's shells, there was not even a shadow of the enemy. Qi Zixuan's side, who thought that he was more short-tempered, frowned and asked.
"It's fine. Qi Zixuan, who was leaning against the trunk of a tree, said confidently: "This is the only path leading to the Niulanba, unless the enemy wants to change the route and take the big road, otherwise, don't want to slip under Lao Tzu's nose." ”
"But they're going to open a new trail, platoon commander, then you're ...... Hey, hey!"
Obviously, this is definitely a prick, because when he heard this, he was teasing the platoon leader. Of course, everyone is a veteran and knows that in order to relieve tension at this time, joking is the best way.
Qi Zixuan rolled his eyes, took out a pack of cigarettes, and replied while taking one out and holding it in his mouth: "If you kid take a knife and open a new road in this place full of bushes and thorns, when you open the road well, it is estimated that the revolution will be victorious, and there will be a fart." ”
"Hey, hey!" he laughed dryly and said, "Platoon commander, I'll just talk about it...... Platoon leader, eat alone, pull cow, give one. ”
Qi Zixuan was about to scatter cigarettes for him and the other two fighters beside him......
"Whew~!Whew~!Whew......"
