Chapter 30: Ambush

County Magistrate Shen and Camp Commander Han were riding on horses, admiring the beautiful scenery around them, and County Magistrate Shen said, "Camp Commander Han hasn't been here for a long time. ”

Battalion Commander Han squinted and said: "Indeed, since the Red Army began to make trouble, Han has rarely come to such a zone, basically fighting guerrilla warfare with the enemy between the mountains and forests, the enemy is very cunning, we must always be on guard against the enemy's sneak attack, naturally we are not in the mood to enjoy the surrounding scenery." ”

County Magistrate Shen said with a smile: "After this mission is completed, how about letting the contemptible people take Camp Commander Han here for a walk around and have the right to take a vacation?" ”

Camp Commander Han showed a smile on his face and did not shirk it, "Then I will thank County Magistrate Shen for his kindness." ”

"Minor problem." County Magistrate Shen squinted, he was in a good mood, and he had a good relationship with Camp Commander Han, which undoubtedly gave him an extra path in the future.

It's one more friend, one more way.

Battalion Commander Han looked around, took another map from the accompanying guards, and said: "Ahead is the Western Mountain, after the Western Mountain, walk for another three or four hours, cross the Sanpingdu and Shiban Bridge, and we will arrive at Nianping Village." ”

County Magistrate Shen said: "There is still a way to go." ”

Battalion Commander Han nodded, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Speed up!" Strive to arrive at Nianping Village at 1 p.m.! ”

He turned his head to look at County Magistrate Shen and said, "County Magistrate Shen, let's speed up too, the enemy will have the strength of one company, and strive to destroy this group of enemies in the afternoon, and try not to fight the enemy at night, because at night our combat advantage will be completely gone, which will be very unfavorable to us." ”

County Magistrate Shen said: "Battalion Commander Han is right, our advantage will be gone at night. ”

He also shouted at the top of his voice: "Speed up!" ”

County.

In a dense forest outside the city, the four battalions and one company have all been ambushed in a forest outside the county seat, their team only has more than 30 guns, but they carry a large number of earth thunderbolts and firecrackers, their purpose is to feint the county seat, only need to attract the enemy's team back.

After their short rest, the commander of the first company of the fourth battalion looked at the county town in the distance, aimed at the minions of the county magistrate Shen and pulled the trigger.

Bang, a gunshot.

A county magistrate who was standing guard was lying on the ground with his clutches clutched to his chest.

Suddenly, the gunfire made the few minions of the county magistrate panic, they didn't even have the courage to resist, leaving behind the people who had become a big chaos, and after rushing into the county seat, they locked the county gate, and in just one minute, the county became empty, only a mess left by the people when they retreated in a panic.

The few defenders in the city were all shocked when they heard the gunfire outside the city, they did not expect that someone would attack the county seat at this time.

Outside the city, it was even more hot, a long firecracker was thrown into the iron bucket, the sound after the explosion was deafening, like a gunshot, plus the thunder cannon was constantly thrown out, it sounded like the explosion of a grenade, such a ferocious firepower made the defenders in the city like ants on a hot pot, and like a swarm of headless flies, only to hear the deafening sound of gunshots, its firepower was at least twice as much as theirs.

There is only one platoon of defenders left in the county seat, and the others have already gone out to encircle and suppress, they want to resist the enemy's attack, how is it possible.

The platoon commander of the defenders ordered in a panic: "Quick, ride forward to inform the county magistrate, our county has been fiercely attacked by the enemy, the defenders have failed to resist, and the enemy is afraid that the county seat will be broken." ”

A defender soldier quickly rode out of another city gate with the message, chased after County Magistrate Shen's ass.

At the same time, two soldiers at each of the other gates of the county town lay in the woods, staring at the gate of the county seat, and when the soldiers on horseback saw the soldiers on horseback leaving the county, they immediately went to the north gate where they were attacking, and reported the matter to the company commander.

When the company commander learned that the enemy had gone to inform the county lord, a smile appeared on his face: "The company commander is really like a god, and the enemy really didn't even dare to show his head, and he didn't even resist, so he sent someone to tell the county lord." ”

He shouted again: "Continue to harass, and after ten minutes, we will retreat!" ”

About ten minutes later, the commander of the first company saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately ordered the first company to stop the attack, leaving one squad of soldiers outside the county town, while the other troops retreated to Sanpingdu and Shibanqiao to support the other troops.

The soldiers of the first company were a little puzzled, and some asked: "Company commander, let's fight for so long?" The enemy didn't even have his head on the head. ”

The first company commander smiled and said, "Ten minutes, that's enough, we just need to lure out the enemy's communications troops." ”

The platoon commander of the first platoon asked: "Then aren't you afraid that the enemy will find out that we have retreated halfway, and they will not return to the county seat?" ”

A company commander said: "This has to talk about the psychological tactics that our company commander plays with the enemy, you think, from here to Nianping Village dozens of miles, it takes an hour to ride a horse, the enemy's time to come and go is two hours, we retreat, the enemy found that we retreated, even if it is sending a man on horseback to chase the one in front, but the one in front has been running out for fifteen minutes, can he catch up?" ”

After a pause, he said: "Besides, let's not leave a squad outside the city, every once in a while, let them harass once, twice in a row, the enemy will think that we can't attack the county for the time being, and then attack after resting, so that they will not send another person to chase another person, but wait for the county lord to come back in the county seat with peace of mind." ”

After listening to this, the platoon leader suddenly realized: "This is the strategy that our regiment leader came up with?" ”

The commander of the first company laughed and said: "That's not it, our regiment commander is like a god, and the soldiers are like a god, as soon as the enemy hears that the county town is attacked, he must be in a hurry to return to help, no matter how many people come back to help, even if it is a company, our front line can also reduce the pressure of a company, everyone said yes." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted happily, and their hearts were extremely excited about the use of their regimental commander, so that the enemy was completely swept away by them.

A company commander shouted: "Speed up the pace, let's strive to reach Sanpingdu in the shortest possible time!" ”

The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions planted a large number of mines on the enemy's path, and these mines were donated by each village to the Red Army with their own gunpowder, and with a little processing, a rough and rotten mine was ready, not very powerful, but it was enough to blow people up half to death.

Sun Zhiyong, the commander of the second battalion, and Hu Xianxian, the commander of the third battalion, were observing the terrain, Sun Zhiyong said: "After this battle, many soldiers in our team can have guns, don't look at our current crowds, but many of them don't have guns yet." ”

Hu Xianfeng said: "That's simple, let the soldiers who don't have guns collect more stones, and when the war starts, they will use stones to smash them, and smashing one or two can also reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield." ”

"It's a good idea." Sun Zhiyong showed a smile on his face, and said: "Then wait for the meeting, you have a platoon, I have a platoon, each with ten guns, take the lead in shooting, so that the enemy thinks that there are not many people in ambush, and when the enemy begins to attack the mountain with confidence, see who cleans up the enemy here first, and when the time comes, the loser will have to take out a few guns to the brother troops." ”

Hu Xianfeng laughed: "Lao Sun, I have earned your gun!" ”

Sun Zhiyong smiled: "That's really not necessarily, a platoon on my side has followed the regiment commander to fight mountain bandits, how can you compare a group of recruits on your side." ”

Hu Xianfeng said 'hey' and said: "What's wrong with the recruits, it's the so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master, the more you can't, the more ruthless the battle will be." ”

Sun Zhiyong said: "Then I have to look forward to it." ”

Hu Xianfeng said: "Then you can look forward to it." ”

On the other side, County Magistrate Shen and Battalion Commander Han led the team to pass through the west and were heading towards Sanpingdu, and when they were about to arrive at Sanpingdu, a soldier on a horse chased after him from behind, and Battalion Commander Han heard the sound and turned around and said, "County Magistrate Shen, is that your soldier?" ”

County Magistrate Shen looked back, but saw that the soldier looked anxious, and quickly passed through the soldiers who were marching in line on one side with his war horse, County Magistrate Shen's heart jumped slightly, and he pretended to be calm and said: "It's my soldier, I am in a hurry, I guess there is something to tell." ”

The soldier ran over, grabbed the reins, turned over and jumped off his horse, and hurriedly said: "County magistrate, it's not good, the county town has encountered an onslaught from the enemy. ”

When County Magistrate Shen, who could still pretend to be calm, heard the news, he was immediately shocked, "What, what's going on, tell me quickly!" ”

After the soldiers hurriedly left the county town to suppress the bandits, the enemy attacked the county seat, and one person had already died, and the enemy's firepower was too fierce for them to resist at all, so they could only tell the county magistrate Shen about the matter of cowering in the city, and the county magistrate Shen almost fell off his horse after hearing the news.

Battalion Commander Han hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Shen, don't be in a hurry first, you have to go back to defend when you are delayed." ”

County Magistrate Shen took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Battalion Commander Han, the information that we came out to encircle and suppress this time must be known by the Red Army, the so-called siege of Wei to save Zhao is the case, they want to attack the county seat to rescue the soon-to-besieged Nianping Village, which shows a problem, that is, they can't beat us, and they can only rescue their base in this way." ”

After a pause, he added: "So I propose to continue advancing, they only have one company of troops, if they really divide a force to fight the county town, then their base area must not have many troops." ”

Battalion Commander Han thought for a while and said: "But the direction of the county town can't be ignored, County Magistrate Shen, I propose that we can divide the troops into two routes, you go to the county seat, and I will go to the base of the Red Army, if the enemy soldiers are divided into two roads, then we will also divide the troops into two roads, how about it?" ”

County Magistrate Shen thought about it, this is indeed a way, but considering that the enemy's troops to attack the county town may not be too much, and thinking about how to climb the relationship between the Han battalion commander and then the white army, the county magistrate Shen said: "Han battalion commander, then I will leave a company of troops to assist you in encircling and suppressing the enemy." ”

Battalion Commander Han smiled and said, "That's fine." ”

As a matter of fact, he had already won the task of going to the Red Army base area this time, and it did not matter whether there was a company of Han Battalion Commander or not, the victory would eventually belong to them, and the Red Army of one company was not at all a basis.

The county magistrate Shen and the battalion commander Han were separated in Sanpingdu, which was about to arrive, and the county magistrate Shen quickly rushed towards the county seat with two companies of troops, leaving the battalion commander Han, his whole person had begun to panic, the county town could not be broken by the Red Army, what the Red Army looked like, he knew best, according to what he did in the county seat, raiding the house was a trivial matter, and it was serious that it might not even be able to protect the lives of their family.

County Magistrate Shen's face was a little gloomy: "This Red Army of the special code actually attacked the county seat when we left the county seat, if I catch them, Lao Tzu will definitely kill them!" ”

As everyone knows, their dream has just begun.

Half an hour later, the enemy reached Sanpingdu, and between Sanpingdu and the slate bridge, a battalion was busy repairing trenches.

An hour later, the scouts of the first battalion in charge of the pocket saw the enemy lined up in a long line from a distance, and quickly told Yang Chenglin about the incident.

In more than ten minutes, the enemy arrived at the blocking position of the first battalion, and the soldiers quickly hid themselves, with all kinds of leaves and weeds on their hats as camouflage, and looked at the menacing enemy in the distance from a distance, all the soldiers held their weapons tightly, this group of enemies rushed towards their happy life, and they could not let them destroy their happy life.

Every warrior swore a secret oath in his heart.

Yang Chenglin saw the enemy go away and quickly ordered his troops to plant mines and explosives on the road.

At this time, the enemy ran into their pockets.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

After another few dozen minutes, the enemy's vanguard appeared at the front of the ambush position of the second and third battalions, everyone waited with bated breath, and soon a long line of enemies appeared, and the Red Army soldiers lying in the trench clung to the rope in their hands, staring at the enemy in the distance, and the other end of the rope was connected to a mine, this kind of pull line mine was pondered by some people in the Red Army who often played with gunpowder, and the time of detonation could be controlled, which was very convenient.

The news that the enemy had entered the front end of the encirclement reached the ears of Xia Yuan, who was one kilometer away from the front line, and his hand slapped heavily on the map and ordered: "Fight!" ”

Dasha ran outside and shouted, "Quick, light the wolf smoke!" ”

A few warriors who had been prepared for a long time lit a fire in a pile of dried leaves, spread fresh branches and leaves on it, and the fire burst into smoke.

The smoke of the headquarters here rose from the dense forest, and the soldiers at all nodes in the forest lit the wolf smoke one after another, and only a minute passed when the front line received the news, and the enemy's long queue had arrived at the center of the encirclement, and the second battalion commander Sun Zhiyong picked up the gun in his hand and shot at the enemy: "Fight!" ”

The second battalion opened fire on the enemy with a row of ten gun-wielding soldiers, and the ten soldiers of the third battalion on the other side of the mountain also shot at the enemy.
