349 To the west, to the west, to the west!
"Boom...... "Boom!"
After the terrible sound of breaking the air, "I only saw a flame rising into the sky next to the canyon opposite", and the three or four rebels next to it were overturned high, and their limbs and bodies were scattered everywhere. 【 I want: super fast update 】
"Fuck it, it's exciting!" "Come again!" Han Luo wiped the corners of his chapped mouth, "Taking advantage of the moment when the loader withdrew the shell and loaded the shell, he grabbed a handful of white snow from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, rushed to the cannon again, and aimed at another stronghold."
Under the smoke of gunfire, hundreds of soldiers bent down and rushed forward along the narrow and winding mountain road, under artillery fire.
Behind the rammed earth mound outside the mountain pass, Jiang Cheng held his rifle tightly, lying on the mound of earth and watching a few cannons that could not be pulled here with a terrifying roar, and it was also a rammed mound that was frozen stiffly, and applauded loudly.
However, his heart is still hanging, especially when he sees his comrades who are rushing forward under the rain of bullets and constantly falling, his eyes are on fire!
Although the artillery began to exert its might, the mortars in the regiment were also organized, the smoke of gunfire rumbled in the narrow Star Gorge, and countless rebels were wiped out in the fire regiments, but what worried everyone was that "the terrain here is too unfavorable for attack!"
Xingxing Gorge, walk into the Hexi Corridor into Xinjiang must pass through, known as the first throat of eastern Xinjiang, peaks and peaks on all sides, only a curved mountain road winds in the meantime, on both sides is the dangerous rock cliff "Dou Shi is rugged, it is the kind of generation to generation, everyone is afraid of the typical "one husband is a pass, ten thousand people do not open", the place.
So the rebels were well aware of the importance of this place, and not only did they garrison more than 2,000 people here, but they were all armed with Russian rifles.
Judging from the previous waves of attacks, it doesn't matter if it's a rebel or a Russian soldier, it's not very powerful, but the terrain here is too narrow, "the rebels have taken the lead and occupied a good position", condescending, there is no need to aim at all, and then fight, "just close your eyes and shoot down."
And the road inside the canyon is narrow, "and there is a big S-shaped deep bend, and the mortar can't cover it, so I haven't gnawed it down after several waves in a row."
If it is on flat ground, or even if the road is wider, not to mention that the second division and the first regiment are here, even if his three companies are pulled up, they can completely annihilate this group of bastards who recorded human skins, but the road is too narrow, and there are three more horses in parallel, and it is a back attack, so the troops can't open at all" can only rely on the artillery to smash them point by point, and then the infantry will go up to solve the problem.
And it can't rush up battalion by battalion, otherwise it will really become a target, and only one company can be thrown into it at a time.
Now the second company that went up, with the help of artillery, had already penetrated nearly half of the canyon, and it was no longer possible to see the comrades who had gone in from the mound, which made everyone's hearts hang.
Suddenly, there was a burst of machine gun sound in the canyon "Da ......" Jiang Cheng and everyone stood up suddenly, and the sudden sound of dense machine gun fire made everyone's eyes red!
Maxim machine gun!
Everyone was too familiar with this unique sound, because they were equipped with several machine guns that were "familiar with the power of this machine gun that can fire hundreds of rounds per minute", but no one expected that the rebels also had this thing, and they placed it in a place where the crooked shells couldn't cover it!
Sure enough, the second company, which was constrained by the terrain, was caught off guard, and suddenly more than a dozen soldiers were torn apart by the dense bullets, and finally had to retreat from the corner again.
"Wang Bapo ......"
Han Luo, who deliberately brought five cannons to support, was about to grit his teeth, but the firing angle of the cannon was too low to aim at all, so he hurriedly rushed to the mortar position, grabbed a mortar and aimed it with his thumb for a long time, and then filled the shell himself.
The mortar, whose trajectory is curved, is a natural king of the mountains, and after seeing the shell draw a wonderful arc, it "actually drills into the curved mountain road", but it is blocked by the line of sight, and can only see the smoke of gunpowder but cannot see whether it hits or not.
Han Luo didn't stop, "After adjusting the firing angle, he handed over the mortar to the side and looked at him" The mortar with envious and admiring eyes patted his ass and walked to the next gun position, calibrated it, tested it, and then handed it over to the mortar squad to bombard itself.
Under the leadership of his experienced gunner, the mortars became more and more accurate, and countless shells crossed the crooked mountain road and burrowed into the middle of the canyon. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※
"Boom ........."
The roar in his ears did not disturb Jiang Cheng, "He knew that it would definitely be his company's turn in a while, so he hurriedly pulled the soldiers who could climb the mountain in the company to his side." "Erwa, that place, can you climb up......"
Erwa is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old thin guy, who has grown up in the mountains since he was a child, so he is the first in every climbing competition in the company, and when he saw the company commander pointing to a small groove on a sentry wall, he immediately understood what he meant, and nodded vigorously: "Okay......"
"Well, you climb up with the rope in a moment, and then use the rope to pull the machine gun crew up as well. Also, you have to remember that I only give you three minutes of cover! Got it? The machine gun must be fired in three minutes! "Yes......" Erwa nodded vigorously, picked up the rifle and went to prepare.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly pulled several squad leaders over: "One squad, it is equivalent to going up and holding up our flag" to divert the enemy's firepower, remember to use grenades to open the way! "Second class, cover up not the first class......"
"The machine gun squad followed Erwa, and after occupying the high ground, I was beaten to death, and I couldn't let them raise their heads......"
"Yes......"
As soon as he finished assigning the task, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Jiang Cheng, come out to the old man!" The battalion commander scolded and rushed to the temporary bunker, and when he heard the sound of ping, Jiang Cheng hurriedly climbed down from the rammed earth pile, rushed to the battalion commander and saluted and shouted: "Report to the battalion commander, Jiang Cheng of the third company is ordered to come." ”
"Fuck off, give the old man less of this article." It seems that the machine gun that just appeared suddenly made the battalion commander's face very bad, and the spittle stars flew to his face" But he also knew that his subordinate generals had a way of fighting, and immediately shouted: "It's your turn, take out your usual fancy intestines, don't embarrass the old man!" ”
"Yes!" Jiang Chengxing's face turned red with excitement, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Follow me for the third company." As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the third company, who had been on standby for a long time, rushed out of the covering rammed earth mound like cheetahs.
The squad leader took the lead, and immediately held up the double-headed eagle flag after rushing out of the pile, and the double-headed eagle flag fluttering high suddenly shocked everyone's morale, and the mortar company went crazy and poured shells into the canyon, and suddenly the entire canyon seemed to be covered by thick smoke.
"Rush!"
Seeing that the commanding heights on both sides were suppressed, Jiang Cheng roared without saying a word, and led his troops to drill into the canyon like lightning.
Bullets passed through the ears and crackled against the stone walls, and the explosions were wave after wave, carrying countless stones down from the cliffs.
Rush Rush!
There is no second way!
Every soldier of the third company knows this truth, and can only grit his teeth and rush forward with bullets, especially the squad holding high the flag has become a magnet for attracting bullets, and has been subjected to fierce fire from the enemy.
The smoke from the grenade explosion blinded the eyes of the rebels, blocking their vision, and preventing the rebels from seeing Erwa, who was hiding behind.
Erwa knew that the opportunity was coming, and the situation was tense and saw that the first class was about to rush into the corner, so she hurriedly rushed to the bottom of the cliff and climbed up like a dexterous ape.
After reaching the top, he didn't bother to look at the corner in front of him, and immediately lowered the rope and began to pull the comrades of the machine gun squad up one by one. Since the groove is not large, "only three people can stand, so the few remaining fighters of the machine gun squad can only work below, in a hurry."
After the machine gunner climbed up the groove, the scene in front of him suddenly made his whole body hot, and he saw that his beloved double-headed eagle banner was almost suppressed around the corner, and he couldn't move and hurriedly shouted.
"Bounce, bounce!"
"When the loader shouted, the machine gunner pulled the trigger suddenly", only to see a long tongue of fire suddenly erupt from the muzzle of the light machine gun.
The cartridge belts were swept out of the ammunition box and devoured, and the shells continued to burst out of the chamber like popping beans, scattering patches of white smoke on the nearby snow. The machine gunner desperately pulled the trigger, constantly whirling the muzzle and increasing the strafing fire, the shrunken cooling tank did not even have time to circulate the cooling barrel, and in just a few minutes, bubbles bubbled.
Erwa temporarily acted as a lifter, "constantly pulling up the ammunition box below to replenish, and the rebels and Russian soldiers in the distance did not expect that there was a light machine gun that could be installed on the cliff, and was suddenly beaten to the point that her body was torn and she couldn't raise her head."
Jiang Cheng had been observing the enemy's firepower "Seeing that the machine gun went off, and the enemy was suppressed and couldn't even raise his head, he immediately shouted: "Rush, rush, rush, don't stop!" ”
Hundreds of soldiers of the second company who were suppressed around the corner lowered their heads and ran under the cover of machine guns.
"Rush out". ”
But before Jiang Cheng could sigh, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him, only to see nearly a thousand rebel cavalry holding knives and running viciously towards the three companies that had just come out of the canyon.
"it, I knew you would have this hand!"
"Second shift, left!"
"Class 3, right."
"After four shifts, watch out for the enemies coming out of the canyon."
"Everyone, be careful, hit the horse first, then the adults! Machine guns, machine guns ready! ”
In Jiang Cheng's rapid roar, the war horses in the distance had already begun to sprint, and the saber was raised high, "mixed with the snow, from time to time emitting a cold and dazzling light."
The flying iron hooves smashed down on the frozen ground, making a sound like a symphony of gold and iron, and the thud hit the hearts of the soldiers of the Third Company like a war drum.
Looking at the rushing cavalry, a hint of banter flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes, "This group of bastards really thought that they could replicate and extend that scene, but they didn't know that the headquarters had already expected that they might be attacked by a large force of cavalry when they left the canyon, so they specially equipped each vanguard company with four light machine guns" Although one was left on the cliff to suppress the enemy in the canyon, there were three more of them!"
"Hit!"
When the cavalry roared and shouted closer and closer, Jiang Cheng waved his arm suddenly, and suddenly three long tongues of fire rose from the left and right sides at the same time, and the dense bullets swept across the cavalry team like a torrential rain, and the cavalry formation was scattered at once, and the sudden sound different from the heavy Makqin sounded in the ears of every soldier.
As the machine guns took the lead in firing, the soldiers also raised their guns one after another to dig trenches in this frozen soil, not to mention that it was only a few seconds from drilling out to Anxian Qibing, and there was no time to react at all, so everyone could only scatter and find cover.
This time the rebels clearly miscalculated, they were no longer faced with an unsuspecting company, but a whole reinforced company with three more machine guns, "more than 400 people!"
The rainstorm-like barrage caused countless war horses to be torn apart by falling in the wailing, and each war horse fell, but it disrupted the formation behind it, making the speed slower and unable to dodge.
At this time, the power of the Type 97 semi-automatic rifle was finally revealed, and the crying seed did not need to pull the bolt, as long as the buckle machine could shoot the rifle speed, the soldiers either knelt, or lay down, hiding behind the rocks and knocking down every guy who tried to approach.
After the cavalry finally drew closer under the rain of bullets, they were greeted by a rain of grenades, and a series of explosions made it impossible to maintain the formation anymore, and finally these cavalry had to fight on their own.
Although some cavalry finally rushed in front of them, it only caused partial confusion and did not break up the formation of the three companies, not to mention that as long as the machine guns were sounding, the cavalry had to slow down.
But after a few minutes, the follow-up companies also drilled out of the canyon under the cover of machine guns, "The cavalry of the former king of the army finally succumbed to the machine guns and bullets.
"Well done!"
Ten minutes later, let the battalion commander step on the corpse and walk out of the canyon" immediately gave Jiang Cheng a hug and shouted: "Plant the flag for me high!" Let the dogs know that this is our place now! ”
The wide city gate suddenly opened, and horses and teams of warriors stepped out of the majestic Jiayu Pass behind them with neat steps, and they will embark on the road of the westward expedition from here.
On the side of the city wall, "countless people who had never known each other spontaneously walked to the foot of the wall, picked up stones and struck the earthen wall hard", making a burst of knocking sounds.
Bayandro grew up in the Mongolian steppes and was a good cavalry archer, although he changed to a foreign gun, "but he still relied on his excellent horsemanship and became the commander of the cavalry battalion."
But he had never seen such a strange thing, so he quickly turned his head and asked the instructor who had just come to the camp next to him: "Instructor, what is going on?" His voice was very loud, and it was Mongolian, so the Mongolian warriors around him understood the meaning and withdrew their eyes to look at the instructor.
The instructor smiled slightly, after a long time, he also liked these straightforward men, and also said in Mongolia: "According to legend, in ancient times, there was a pair of swallows nesting in Jiayuguan Rouyuan Gate. Early one morning, the two swallows flew out of the customs, at dusk, the female swallow flew back first, and waited until the male swallow flew back, the door was closed, could not enter the customs, and then the sorrow touched the wall and died, for which the female swallow was grief-stricken, and from time to time made a "chirp" swallow chirp "has been screaming until death. After death, its spirit does not disperse", every time someone hits the wall with a stone, it will make a "chirping" swallow chirping sound and confide in people.
"So!" The instructor looked around at the Mongolian warriors who were listening, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Everyone regards the sound of swallows in Jiayu Pass as an auspicious sound, and after a long time, this has become the tradition of our Chinese nation. ”
"Out of Jiayuguan, it is the desert land of the Western Regions, where is it! The wind is flying, the sound is whimpering, under that land, tens of thousands of Chinese sons and daughters of all ethnic groups have spilled their blood on the battlefield, and the horses and grass shrouded in corpses, "Their souls are still guarding here, and they don't want to come back until they die!" ”
"They don't regret it!"
"Because they are fighting for the country, which is our homeland in China!"
"Today, we have the Han brothers, the Meng brothers, and the Miao Tibetan brothers!"
"We are a big family, all of whom are sons and daughters of China, so today we set off! They're here to see us off again! ”
"To the west! There are some people who want to split the country and want to establish themselves as kings! ”
"There" the Russians are also sharpening their knives, wanting to continue to slaughter us as cattle and sheep, to occupy our steppes, to rob our cattle and sheep, to kidnap our women! ”
"So here they are!" The instructor's eyes shimmered, pointing to the people who had hit the wall to pray for the blessings of the soldiers, and shouted: "They are praying for us, waiting for us to recover the mountains and rivers!" Waiting for the triumphant return! ”
"Are you afraid?!"
"Not quietly!"
The instructor's words made the blood of the Mongolian warriors around them boil, and they shouted one after another, and not only who took the lead, and suddenly a majestic and ancient marching song sounded in the ranks.
The warriors echoed one after another, and the majestic song suddenly resounded through the wasteland!
"Let's go!"
When the double-headed eagle flag fluttering high suddenly leaned forward, "tens of thousands of cavalrymen galloped out of the city pass, and the violent war horses stepped into the Gobi Desert with a neigh.
Behind them, there were countless infantry soldiers, walking in unison steps, singing the same songs, in the tearful eyes of the people who hit the wall, following the hoof prints left by the cavalry brothers, and walked out of this Xiongguan.
"Strictly close the hundred-foot boundary Tianxi, and recruit people to station in the horseshoe. Feiyao even Qin Shu straight, see the wall oblique pressure Longyun low. The Tianshan Mountains stand cowardly, and the vast sea is in the daze. Who said that the letter was dangerous through the ages, and when I saw it back, I saw only a pill of mud. ”
With ancient poems, the people crowded at the foot of the city wall, where they sent off 60,000 Hunan soldiers a few decades ago, and also prayed for them and wished for victory!
But a few years later, "less than 20,000 people came back!"
Now, they are here again to see off a group of soldiers, they don't know how many people will come back this time, but they believe that that land will go out with these soldiers and return to the embrace of the Chinese nation!
Looking at these faces engraved with vicissitudes, every warrior had a firm gaze, and they choked back tears, but they did not look back, because they all knew that the land was waiting for them to recover!
To the west, to the west, to the west!
All fighters, remembered the slogan of the Army!
The place where I step on is my soil!!
