Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Ambush of Mopanzhai is in progress

readx;

It is almost impossible to attack the enemy's camp to achieve total annihilation, and not a single one is missed, just like the current Xiaomaotou. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Don't look at Qian Jin is only seventeen years old this year, but he is clever and short, but he has black and shiny black hair, so he has earned the nickname 'Little Maotou'.

It was also his life that he should not have been a prisoner, and when Zhang Qingshan and others touched the enemy's company, this guy just got up to go to the toilet with a stomachache, which can be regarded as escaping. Then, he was so frightened that he slipped out of the barracks with a few people who he knew him on weekdays, and as a result, the few people who ran with him were all killed or captured alive by the outermost guerrillas, but because he ran last, he took advantage of the night to hide in the weeds on the side of the path, shrunk into a ball, shivered, and was so frightened that he had no strength or courage to run away for a while. And it was precisely because of this that he escaped another catastrophe: towards the end of the whole battle, the guerrillas began to disperse, slowly narrowing the encirclement and surrounding the barracks. Because everyone's attention was focused on the barracks, they ignored him in the grass on the side of the road.

Subsequently, this guy thought that the battalion commander Li Yuda was good to him on weekdays, and if he reported to Li Yuda, he would definitely get a heavy reward. I want to go the shortest distance at the fastest speed, and I want to run to Niulan Town...... The balance of history will not always take care of a person, and it is also a blessing that he has not been rewarded, or Li Yuda should have this experience in his life, if Xiao Maotou takes the big road, he will definitely succeed in reporting the news, but he chose the small road.

When he ran to the town out of breath and learned that Li Yuda had already set off with his people for a long time, he could only look up to the sky and sigh with tears.

Mopanzhai is located in the northwest of Niulanba, about five miles away from Niulanba, and about fifteen miles away from Niulanba. The mill village is about 150 meters high, and it can occupy a huge area, but because its waist is like being cut off by a sword, it looks like a millstone from a distance. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was also a bandit cottage composed of hundreds of people, and in the early days of the Republic of China, this group of bandits was absorbed. Although the people are gone, the name of Mopanzhai has been handed down.

At the foot of the mountain to its left, a large road runs like a serpent. The 100 meters on the left side of the main road are covered with water meadows, which connect to the river. It can be said that as long as you hold the Mopan Village, it is equivalent to holding the throat of this road. If you want to pass, you definitely have to pay a huge price. The most important thing is that at this time, this place can be described as both offensive and defensive for the assault company: it is not far from the bullpen dam, and if something happens, as long as the gunfire is heard, it can return to the aid in time. In the same way, if reinforcements are needed, they can send a signal for reinforcements from the guerrillas. It's the freedom to advance and retreat.

"It's strange that there are so many mosquitoes at this time!" Although it is already November, late autumn and early winter, it is said that there should be nothing left of mosquitoes. But probably because of the abundance of aquatic plants, there are still many mosquitoes raging here. Everyone else is better, and they can cover their bodies with weeds to shield themselves from mosquito bites - this is also the experience of long-term guerrilla warfare in the mountains. But Zhang Qingshan, as the company commander, had to check the situation of the soldiers one by one, and also observe whether the enemy was coming, etc., how could he lie on the ground and cover his whole body with weeds, so he was bitten several times by the raging mosquitoes, but he couldn't fight because he couldn't make a sound, so he could only use his hand to drive away the mosquitoes, and the itch was really bad, so he couldn't help but scratch a few times and muttered a few words as if complaining.

Seeing that there were more and more mosquitoes, Zhang Qingshan waved his hand in the same posture as drawing ghost talismans, and Wang Wu, the leader of the platoon, was a little unbearable to get up and exchange places with Zhang Qingshan and said, "Company commander, you lie here for me, I'll help you watch ......"

"No, you get on your stomach. Without waiting for him to finish, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly stopped him from getting up and said with a smile: "Don't look at the mosquito bite now, but I'll be comfortable later." ”

Seeing Wang Wu lying down, Zhang Qingshan explained with a smile: "I'm your company commander anyway, wait for the fight to start, I won't go into battle in person, at most I just command you how to fight." So, I'm being bitten by mosquitoes right now, but wait, and I'll be able to watch you fight the enemy in comfort, and that's a good deal. You kid wants to change with me, but there is no door. ”

Knowing that Zhang Qingshan was joking with everyone in order to appease everyone, Wang Wu was still a little unbearable, and said: "Company commander, if we change now, we will change back after the fight starts." ”

"Get out!" Zhang Qingshan said while waving his hand to catch away mosquitoes: "I don't fall for you, lest you kid wait for me to be cheap and not admit it." ”

After speaking, Zhang Qingshan really couldn't stand the harassment of these mosquitoes, so he simply went to inspect again and reminded everyone: No smoking, who dares to fart, military law will serve. made everyone laugh, which greatly relieved the tension before the battle.

I waited quietly for another two or three hours.

"Company commander, the enemy won't stop coming, right?"

"It's good if they don't come. ”

"Huh?"

"Ah, what? I can't figure out this point?" Zhang Qingshan looked at the bright moon, his voice was a little low, and he was also a little unwilling: "The main task of our assault company this time is to capture the Niulanba and hold it, so that the main force can cross the river. The main purpose of setting up an ambush here is to think about the current safety of the Niulanba...... If there were only two or three hundred people from Li Yuda, with the current manpower and equipment of our assault company, we would still be able to eat him. But if Li Yuda was followed by more enemies, it would be troublesome...... Besides, it is better for us to set up an ambush here than to be directly attacked by the enemy and the main force to cross the river. Therefore, it is better for him not to come, in that way, after the main force crosses the river safely, we will have a chance to kill Li Yuda. ”

Anyway, being idle is also idle, Zhang Qingshan is naturally willing to share his experience with others, so he is a little verbose when he speaks. However, Wang Wu is still a good listener, with various expressions and praise, and from time to time he asks for advice on what he doesn't understand, so that Zhang Qingshan's conversation is more sufficient, and sometimes he forgets to catch mosquitoes.

In the midst of this pleasant conversation, time flies.

"Company commander, there's a bright light coming over there, it must be the enemy. A soldier quickly ran to Zhang Qingshan's side, pointed ahead, and reminded excitedly and quietly.

Because they were in the sparse forest on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, only about thirty meters away from the road, and the height of the mill station, there was no possibility of climbing the height and looking far away, so they could only send someone to observe at the top of the mountainβ€”the soldier who reminded him was one of the observation posts.

Zhang Qingshan subconsciously grabbed the binoculars and looked at it, and immediately put it down: the observers on the top of the mountain can see the enemy's torch team from a high place, but the place where he ambushed can only be seen when the enemy turns this big bend.

By the bright moonlight, I looked at my watch, and vaguely saw that the time was already 5:27 in the morning, which was the darkest time before dawn.

was about to speak, but he felt that the soldiers around him were a little nervous, in order to relieve the tension of everyone, Zhang Qingshan asked people to pass on the words one by one: "Tell comrades, get ready, take my gunfire as a signal...... Whoever dares to speak, go back to military law. Whoever dares to fart and run away from the enemy, Lao Tzu will personally crown him as the fart king of the whole company, and it will be recorded in the history of our assault company. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, several soldiers around him laughed happily, and the tension that had just risen immediately disappeared without a trace.

After waiting for twenty minutes, they saw the enemy's vanguard show up - in fact, it could not be said that it was the vanguard force, because the enemy was simply huddled together to keep warm, or they did not expect that the assault company had already captured the Niulanba camp, and at this time, not to mention the vanguard troops, they did not even send a pathfinder. It's completely a pair of walking on their own turf, loose, very relieved - this is a choke point, they can do this, it can be seen, how relaxed they are.

Under normal circumstances: the team goes first, and the supplies are last. But at this time, the enemy put the supplies consigned by horse-drawn carts in the middle of the team, and sent nearly 200 people in front, but left dozens of people behind, which was completely a long line, and there was not even a little interval in the middle. Zhang Qingshan, who watched it, was greatly surprised, but also extremely contemptuous of the enemy's way of marching: Looking at your desperate posture for money and food, are you a regular army? I am afraid that the bandits are stronger than you.

Seeing the enemy's men and horses passing by in the first half, and waiting for the enemy's transport team in the middle to pass by little by little, Zhang Qingshan quietly opened the safety of the box gun, was about to aim, thought about it, touched the sharpshooter next to him, pointed to the side of the road, the enemy who stopped on horseback, and whispered: "This guy is riding a horse, and there are people riding horses to light him with torches, and at first glance he is a big official in the enemy army." Little camel, wait a minute, I'll tell you to fight, you can kill him for me first, understand?"

"Company commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission. ”

Li Yuda's mood at this time is not good or bad: although he got some money and food, he saved his face, but after all, the little wife he just grabbed eloped with someone, and this private face fell to the ground.

With a gloomy face, he rode his horse and walked slowly down the road, not even thinking about the possibility of being ambushed. When he arrived, an officer beside him kindly ran to remind him that this place was dangerous and conducive to an enemy ambush. He grabbed the reins, stopped his horse, looked left and right, shook his head, and said, "Don't think about that, just move forward." ”...... At this moment, Zhang Qingshan was pointing at him and asked the little camel to wait and kill him first.

Think about it: under normal circumstances, if the Red Army wants to cross the river, it first has to pass the Niulanba, since there is no gunfire from the Niulanba, and no one comes to report the abnormal situation, it means that the Red Army has not yet killed, and this is still its own territory, and it is very safe...... When the assault company captured Niulanba, he was still blackmailing the mayor in Niulan Town, more than 10 kilometers away, and he didn't hear any gunshots at all. And Xiao Maotou, who finally escaped, took the small road, and missed it, so he naturally didn't know the specific situation of the bullpen dam at this time.

His interest was not high, and he didn't bother to explain, but after saying this, he clamped the horse's belly and continued to move forward.

But at this moment!

"Bang!"

A gunshot broke the quiet night sky, and bullets whistled......
