Chapter 210: Swallow's Mouth Ambush
readx;?“ Platoon Commander: The enemy's cavalry is passing through the valley mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Qi Zixuan hurriedly ran to the edge of the ridge, and before he could take a closer look, he was sure that there were indeed a large number of enemy cavalry below: although the entire valley was full of people turning over on their backs, and all kinds of screams were endless, but at the exit of the valley where he was, there was the constant neighing of horses, and occasionally someone could hear the angry reprimand of someone deliberately lowering his voice, and even, the palm of the hand supported on the ground, he could feel the slight tremor of the ground, which was definitely the result of a large number of enemy cavalry roaring over.
Interestingly, if the enemy cavalry were all warriors, then at least their horses would not be stimulated by the sounds of the battlefield. However, the commander of the enemy's cavalry regiment probably wanted to use the horse bandits and the like collected all the way as cannon fodder, so two-thirds of the enemy's forward troops in Yanzikou were horse bandits. These horse bandits can fight with the wind, but they are finished when they encounter resistance. And some of the horses they rode were snatched from the herdsmen not long ago, and they had never experienced the baptism of war, let alone compared to war horses. Therefore, when all kinds of gunshots, screams, and roars sounded on the battlefield at the same time, these horses instinctively panicked. Their chaos directly brought the originally calm war horses to panic, aggravating the chaos, and even, the forward troops who could have been able to sneak away from the valley exit in one breath were also in a mess because of the panic of the horses under them, and some horses even ran directly to the battlefield in a panic...... In this way, even if the Red Army soldiers had not discovered them before, there was no need to say much now.
In terms of encirclement: the machine gun company directly under the regiment is responsible for the frontal fire blockade, while the reinforced company, which originally served as the guard of the machine gun company, is responsible for rear defense, the first platoon of the assault company is responsible for blocking from the flank of the machine gun company (the left side of the machine gun company), and the third platoon is responsible for blocking the line of fire and fireballs. As for the second platoon, it served as a second blockade, ambushing on the right side outside the exit. On the other side, the 50th Regiment was in charge.
No one expected that the enemy's forward troops would touch their side so quietly, and at this time, it was obvious that they could not stop them from escaping with fireballs. Fortunately, Qi Zixuan is also an old soldier, his eyes rolled, and he shouted while taking out a grenade: "Use a grenade first!"
The fighters pulled out their grenades, twisted the lids, pulled off the leads, and threw them at the exit without hesitation.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The earth shook, the light flickered, and the men neighed...... In a crowd of people turning over on their backs, not to mention people, some horses were directly blown into blocks, and some fell on the ridge......
At this time, the enemy cavalry at the exit was not panicked: the enemy cavalry that had already broken out of the encirclement naturally fled without thinking of turning their heads to attack the Red Army; those who did not rush out immediately turned their horses and ran back, not only because the survival instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil forced them to think that it was safe in the valley, but more importantly, the second wave of grenade attacks had come.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as the second wave of attacks passed, it was quiet down there - those who did not die in the first wave of attacks went on in the second wave, and it was almost over. There were only a few big ones left, and they were stunned without being killed, but occasionally a few horses could be faintly heard.
In fact, when the rain curtain obstructs the line of sight, no one can see the other, and with their advantageous terrain and numerical superiority, it is naturally impossible to stupidly launch a charge to fight the enemy hand-to-hand - it is pitch black, you really want to mix with the enemy, and the side with the largest number of people will not take advantage, and the possibility of killing your own people by mistake is even higher. Therefore, you can only shoot from a distance, anyway, the sky is about to dawn, don't be afraid. In this way, one can only judge by the sound, or by the fleeting flash of fire from the occasional grenade explosion. Therefore, no one can witness the specific casualties on the battlefield with their own eyes, and can only hear all kinds of voices. To put it bluntly, everyone is about to kill more enemies than others, and they can only judge according to the commander's battlefield command experience.
Qi Zixuan quickly ran to the edge of the ridge and immediately ordered: "Don't throw grenades, change the fireball!"
As a result, the soldiers grabbed the weeds that had been prepared on the ridge one after another and threw them directly down, while the soldiers of the third platoon and the third squad who had been ordered in advance jumped off the ridge, picked up the haystack and ran to the middle.
Fortunately, the enemy was afraid of the might of the Red Army's condescending and still retaining Dan, and did not dare to charge directly at all, so that the soldiers of the third squad successfully concentrated the haystack in the middle, and when it was piled up about one meter high, they immediately retreated to the rear.
And the warriors above continued to throw until they were about halfway through, Qi Zixuan struck a match and lit a bundle of hay, and several fighters next to him used the hay in their hands to catch the fire, and then threw it to the haystack below.
Soon, a line of fire with flames as high as three or four meters appeared in the night rain, blocking the entire exit.
In order to prevent the line of fire from being extinguished, from time to time someone threw a haystack down, which was picked up by the soldiers of the third squad and placed on the line of fire to maintain the flame height of the line of fire, which was regarded as completely blocking the enemy's escape route.
The enemy is not stupid, since they can't rush out directly from here, then they can only feint and attack the dirt slopes at both ends of the exit.
Unfortunately, their first main target was actually placed on the dirt slope on the right side of the exit, just because the guns on this side were taunted, but on the left dirt slope was the sound of gunfire, and only from the flickering tongue of fire you could see which was stronger and which was weaker, and this doomed them to defeat, just because this was the position of the machine gun company.
Before, it was dark in front of them, and no one could see anyone, but thanks to the flame that rose into the sky, now, everyone can see some situation. Although it still did not help in the distance, it was a great help to the Red Army soldiers at the exit. Because the Red Army at the exit was at a high place, and the light of the flames could not shine on them, but on the contrary, it illuminated a lot in the valley, so that they could almost clearly charge the enemy cavalry, and even the Red Army could even faintly see the figure of the enemy cavalry charging dozens of meters away. For the enemy cavalry here, it was absolutely depressing, because they were under the light of the light, not only were they exposed, but more importantly, because looking at the darkness from the light, they naturally could not see the situation of the Red Army in the dark, and could only judge by the tongue of fire.
However, it turned out that they preferred not to see the tongues of fire from the guns of the Red Army soldiers here, because, without seeing it, they still had a certain hope of breaking out of the encirclement from here, and when they did, they were desperate.
They feint on horseback and are simply unable to exert the speed of their horses' impact. At first, there was only a few flickering tongues of fire on the mountain. However, when they entered the firelight, the front was less than twenty meters from the top of the hillside.
"Hit!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da! da! da......"
"Wow!Wow!Wow......"
With Zhang Qingshan's roar, the box cannon and the light and heavy machine guns exploded almost simultaneously.
The enemy cavalry, whose eyes were full of joy just now, were immediately stunned by the rain of bullets.
The bullets from the box guns were better, at least, some of the most skilled riders, grasping the reins and using the height, forced the horses to lift their forelimbs off the ground in the neighing, and they stuck to the horses, and more or less dodged. Even if the horse under him is hit by a bullet from the box cannon, the bullet from the box cannon cannot penetrate the horse's body, so even if the horse under him dies, he can still use the horse's corpse to dodge the bullet from the box gun.
But if you are hit by a machine gun, especially a heavy machine gun, it is doomed: the bullet penetration of a heavy machine gun is already strong, and with such a close distance, not to mention the body of one horse, even the body of two horses can pierce you, so that you have no way to dodge. God forbid, the opposing machine gunners should not pay attention to themselves.
At this time, a small episode occurred.
The enemy on the dirt slope where the attack machine gun company was located was frightened by this light and heavy weapon as soon as Zhang Qingshan and the others opened fire, and they didn't even dare to shoot back. Except for a few people who were left behind and could turn their horses' heads, most of them jumped off their horses as soon as possible, screaming and running down the hill with their lives.
After throwing a barrage of blood and corpses, they finally ran back down the hill. Because of the long distance, the Red Army soldiers had a wider area of firepower, and the intensity of the fire blockade was naturally smaller, and in addition they were caught in the dark and rainy night, as long as they did not shout, it was still difficult to be "taken care of," so many enemies still avoided them.
At a time when everyone was worried and frightened, a dozen or so gendarmes jumped out of nowhere and actually scolded them, telling them to hurry up and continue to rush.
For the first time, there was a guy who was probably the boss of the horse bandits, and he was used to bullying people on weekdays, and his eyes were above the top, so he was naturally not convinced - compared to fighting alone, Lao Tzu jumped to pick a group of you, what is there to be proud of. So, he jumped out and said, "Sir, let's wait...... but before he could finish speaking, he was greeted by a gunshot.
Then the dozen or so gendarmes threatened people with guns.
The second time, there were three or four people who jumped out, and the one who took the lead knew at a glance that it was a veteran oil, and he was probably used to being powerful in the team, so he wanted to pull the relationship, "A few brothers, everyone is chewing in a pot, give the brothers a face, and when their firepower is smaller, everyone will rush up and kill them all, how about it?"
Not to mention, the other party saw his military uniform, and he really gave face, and he didn't implement the family law and military regulations at the first time, but just shook his head with a cold face, and replied while shaking his head, "This is an order from above, there is no room for negotiation." ”
"Grass! bullshit......"
This time, it was the person next to him who spoke, but unfortunately, before the words were finished, all he got was a shuttle of bullets to serve.
Here's the interesting part......
