Chapter Ninety-Seven: Don't Underestimate Your Opponent

"Whew~!Whew~!Whew......"
As a veteran, he is naturally very familiar with the screeching sound produced by this kind of shell piercing the air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Almost as soon as he heard this voice, Qi Zixuan subconsciously shouted: "Shelling! Lie down!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The earth trembled, the sound of explosions was incessant, and clouds of black smoke magically rose from the explosion. The whole hill was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and everywhere there were potholes and potholes, broken branches, thick smoke, and a sultry heat. There seemed to be no unusual sound in the heavens and the earth, except for the passing of cannonballs and the sound of explosions.
For three minutes, the enemy's shells kept falling on this hill as if they were running out of shells -- it is interesting that the enemy seemed to believe that there were no Red Army on the nearby hill, or that the enemy wanted to concentrate his fire on the hill first, so he did not 'take care' of this at all, except for the occasional shell or two.
Fortunately, the soldiers are all veterans, they know how to dodge the shells, and they have long been scattered, and they are behind the mountains, plus they are in the forest, to be honest, if the enemy uses heavy artillery bombardment, it will still be effective, but the shells of this small steel cannon seem to be many, but in fact, the damage caused is really small. According to later statistics, only one of the three platoons of the assault company was injured in this shelling: this unlucky guy was lucky to get home, and he was grazed by shrapnel, which made him extremely angry - not angry about being injured, the point is, the buttocks were injured, which was too shameless. The guerrilla brigade suffered two deaths and seven wounded -- although Lao Guo gave him thousands of instructions in advance and personally inspected them one by one, most of the members of the guerrilla brigade were inexperienced recruits, and no matter what Lao Guo ordered in advance, no matter how much they agreed in advance, and no matter how much they were prepared in advance, after all, this was the first time they had personally experienced this intensive artillery bombardment, and they were much more nervous than the veterans. Take the two members of the team who died as an example, there was an artillery shell that exploded six or seven meters away from a guerrilla, he lay on his stomach, dodging the shrapnel sideways, but this guy was frightened by the explosion, his mind was blank, except for fear or fear, the human survival instinct made him feel that he had to flee from this place immediately. Jumping up, baring his teeth and dancing claws, he yelled like crazy, and ran directly down the mountain. His running played a joint role, and the comrade-in-arms beside him, who was also extremely nervous, was in the midst of the six gods without a master but was extremely frightened at this time, and when he saw him shoot, he also subconsciously ran along, and as a result, a cannonball fell right in the middle of the two...... Among the several injured people, two of them also had to run along, but fortunately, the comrades-in-arms around them were quick and rushed over, crushing them under them, and just like that, three of them were also injured. It is conceivable that if it were not for the timely rescue of these two comrades, most of them would have to die under the shells.
"Company Commander ......"
The sound of the shells was too loud, and the eardrums that shook hurt so much that I couldn't hear the shouts of my comrades around me. Qi Zixuan had no choice but to quickly crawl over and shout in the other party's ear, "What are you going to say?"
The other party hurried to Qi Zixuan's ear and shouted the same: "Company commander, I mean, it's been so long, why hasn't the enemy's shells decreased, but increased?
"I don't know, just wait, anyway, the enemy shells will run out of shells. After shouting, Qi Zixuan slammed suddenly, and a doubt in his heart was solved: I said that since I repelled the enemy's pathfinder stone, why did I wait for so long without seeing a single hair of the enemy, and now I understand that the enemy must have carried a lot of shells before it was delayed...... Roughly speaking, the enemy has more than six small steel cannons firing, and it has been bombing for three minutes, you know, this is a small steel cannon, not a heavy artillery that needs to be loaded, but only need to put the shell on the muzzle, the rate of fire is super fast, and the shells fired in three minutes have a base number. So, another question arises, these shells of the enemy were originally prepared for the bullpen dam, and now, why are they consumed here? Not to mention the weak words that the enemy has enough shells. You know, this is a flat land, but a mountain path, just by manpower or mules and horses to carry how much? Moreover, since it is a sneak attack, the key lies in the word 'stealing', and it is necessary to maintain a certain marching speed. Just from the fact that the battle started on the main road, the enemy's pathfinder stone appeared soon on the side of the three forks, and it can be imagined that the enemy's plan before the battle was very good. So, why are they now consuming all these shells that they have managed to carry here?
"Platoon commander, the enemy is coming. ”
Just as Qi Zixuan pondered this question, the explosion gradually became quieter. Hearing the shouts of the soldiers who were observing the enemy situation in the front section of the mountaintop, Qi Zixuan seemed to have just come back to his senses, and actually looked up and looked around, and saw that the explosion was much less, and knew that it was the turn of the enemy's infantry to attack. Immediately got up, shouted "Comrades, prepare for battle", and was the first to rush to the front of the mountain.
At first glance, Qi Zixuan was really shocked, angry, and a little crying and laughing: the commander who could be sent to lead the sneak attack was not only bold and careful, but also impossible to be a fool. Because of the effect of the pathfinder stone, the enemy's commander obviously saw the deployment on these two mountains at a glance, and immediately made adjustments - Qi Zixuan guessed that the reason why the enemy did not attack for a long time, and concentrated fire on the hill where he was located as soon as he came up, was because the enemy was concentrating the artillery shells and using them. But he was only half right, and more importantly, the enemy needed to adjust the direction of the attack during this time. Therefore, the first thing Qi Zixuan saw was that halfway up the mountainside facing each other, there was a group of figures of the boss flashing, and from time to time a few shells shot out, shooting towards the defense of the guerrilla brigade on the left side of the hill where he was. At the same time, a company of the enemy was rapidly rushing towards the hill from the left - in this way, the enemy only had to face the guerrilla brigade on the left, thus avoiding the risk of being flanked from both sides, and the losses were minimized. And this is also the reason why Qi Zixuan was shocked and angry, feeling that the enemy's commander was too clever, and made a judgment almost instantly, as if he had found the weakest place on the Red Army's defense line at once, and resolutely adjusted the offensive line, so that Qi Zixuan's deployment became a decoration.
And what made Qi Zixuan a little crying and laughing was that the left side of the hill was originally a flank and was relatively safe. Originally, they came to seize this main position, and the guerrilla brigade only came to feel the baptism of war. As a result, up to now, the main position is its own, but because the enemy has changed the direction of the main attack to our flank, our main position has been reversed, and the main position has become a flank. There is really a sense of absurdity that wherever the guerrilla brigade is destined to go, there is the main battlefield.
However, now was not the time to express his feelings, Qi Zixuan immediately turned back to a soldier beside him and ordered: "You immediately tell the company commander about the situation, and ask him to immediately lead everyone to support the comrades of the guerrilla brigade defending on the left." It's enough for us to have three rows of people here to defend. ”
As soon as Zhang Qingshan heard the gunshots that rang out because of the misfire, he was shocked, and felt that something must have happened, so he began to assemble the team. Then, he led the team to the halfway point of the mountain, and saw that the top of the mountain was silent and not even the birds were flying, and whether Qi Zixuan had sent someone to report, he felt that something was abnormal, thought about it, and took the team to rest in place.
Soon, dense explosions were heard. Fortunately, they are still some distance from the top of the mountain, and the enemy's gunners are not dry, under normal circumstances, the range of shooting will not deviate so outrageously, so that Zhang Qingshan and them are spectators, but they are faintly worried.
As soon as the shelling was over, Zhang Qingshan immediately led people to sprint to the top of the mountain with all his strength. Before he could rush to the top of the mountain, he met with the person sent by Qi Zixuan to report. After hearing this, Zhang Qingshan didn't say anything, but after being silent for a while, he led the team to reinforce the guerrilla brigade.
......
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, follow my orders, put the enemy close before fighting!"
"Wait a minute, aim and fight, save bullets......"
"Prepare the grenades, open the lids, and kill the enemies with the grenades when they rush close......"
Lao Guo kept giving orders, and almost took the trouble to shout out what he could take into account. Because he knows that the more he shouts, the more these novices can not only learn, but more importantly, increase their confidence.
He temporarily completely replaced Niu Yingwu and became the temporary supreme commander of this guerrilla brigade. Fortunately, he was experienced, enthusiastic and sincere, and had carefully instructed the soldiers one by one to avoid the shelling, so seeing that Niu Yingwu did not speak, the team members naturally obeyed the order.
Under the guidance of Lao Guo, they all know that the index finger of the right hand to pull the trigger is placed on the gun god outside the trigger, so that they can avoid accidentally pulling the trigger and going off.
Lao Guo's eyes widened, and he kept silently calculating in his heart, until the enemy was less than fifty meters away from this defense line, and then shouted: "Fight!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
As soon as the words fell, the gunshots rang out.
Seven or eight of the enemy immediately fell, and the others immediately lay down and began to return fire on this side.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da! da! da......"
"Wow!Wow!Wow......"
The enemy has more than 100 men, but the guerrilla brigade has only about 70 men; the enemy is still a regular army, and it is definitely stronger than the guerrilla brigade in terms of training and weapons; the enemy suddenly concentrates his forces and makes a surprise attack under the cover of artillery fire, but the guerrilla brigade occupies a favorable position, and therefore, judging from the comparison of various factors between the two sides, it is impossible for the enemy to break through the guerrilla brigade's defense at once.
But the problem is that the enemy's weaponry greatly enhances their victory factor. Not only did they have the cover of artillery fire, but more importantly, they had a machine gun, but also a heavy machine gun and three light machine guns, and the guerrilla brigade even had rifles that had just been issued by the main forces, and where did the machine guns come from, so they were suppressed by enemy fire at once...... It is conceivable that these equipment of the enemy was originally intended to be used when attacking the main force of the Red Army in the Niulanba, and in the event of a sudden attack, this equipment, coupled with the fact that the Niulanba is not large, may really cause great trouble to the Red Army. But now, why are they using it here? And, judging by its stance, it is completely a desperate desire to go down this mountain, why is that?
