Chapter 41: The Nineteenth Army

Ruan Jingtian's heart was full of doubts: when he and Li Shinan and others installed ** on the side of the road, they did not find the shadow of the Tongxin Society and the ambush team. He returned to the gendarmerie and fabricated a false message to lure the 5th Patrol into the ambush. But what the War Department's phone call said was conclusive, and it seemed that there were really a large number of people from the Harmony Society and the ambush team, what was going on?

Ruan Jingtian knew that the armed forces led by the Harmony Society were called the Nineteenth Route Army, referred to as the Nineteenth Army, which was a name given to the Harmony Society by the Assassin government. Although the 19th Army of the Harmony Society was recognized by the Assassin Government, the Assassin Government never sent military supplies to the Nineteenth Army, and almost all of the equipment of the Nineteenth Army came from the battlefield capture and the production of the Harmony Society's own arsenal, so although the number of the Nineteenth Army was quite large, the weapons and equipment were messy and outdated, and the regular army of Zheguo rarely looked at these local armed forces. In the War Department's telephone call, it emphasized that the "firepower and strong configuration" of the Tongxin Society were "fiercely firepowered, and the deployment was strong." This kind of wording is rarely used on the Tongxin Society. Could it be that the main force of the Nineteenth Army came to Dongshan City?

Ruan Jingtian had a headache, and he didn't come up with a reason, so he had to close his eyes.

Fierce gunfire, cannon fire, and grenade explosions came, and Ruan Jingtian immediately lifted his spirits, looked out the window, and ordered the driver to slow down.

It was seven o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was starting to darken, and there was no one in front of the road, but there were many winding mountain roads here, and it was normal for the view to be blocked. The sound of the weapons was getting louder and louder, and the patrol car passed a bend and found a large number of Zheguo devil soldiers in front of them slowly advancing towards a nearby hillside, grenades constantly flying from behind the cover of the hillside, and the fire of rifles and the tongues of fire from machine guns continued to be revealed.

Ruan Jingtian and the 4th Patrol Team got out of the car, and after exchanging briefings with Ling Yunmu, the commander of the Zheguo troops, they learned a few things:

In the afternoon, the 796th Division of Zheguo heard a violent explosion near this place and immediately sent scouts to check on it, and the result was that a large number of 19th Army troops were found to be active here, and a patrol car of the gendarmerie was blown into the sky. The scouts hurriedly informed the 796th Division, which did not dare to delay and sent a battalion of troops to meet and encircle and suppress the 19th Army.

A battalion of the 796th Division had a strength of more than 400 troops, and a battalion of the 19th Army on the hillside had about 500 troops.

After listening to the battle situation, Ruan Jingtian shouted in his heart: "It seems that the power of the bomb I got in the afternoon was too great, attracting the 19th Route Army. There are really troops from the Concentric Society hidden here, and I knew that I would plant a bomb in another place. ”

Ruan Jingtian looked at the firepower configuration of the enemy and us, and was very speechless in his heart, this battalion of the 796th Division of Zheguo is equipped with heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, mortars, and 94-style mountain artillery, while the strongest firepower of the 19th Army is light machine guns, and there are only four, this is obviously an asymmetrical battle.

After meeting and negotiating, Ruan Jingtian, executive deputy captain Zheng Kaidi, and Ling Yunmu, the battalion commander of the 796th Division, decided as follows:

Zheng Kaidi led three patrol teams to assist the 796th Division, and Ruan Jingtian led the fourth patrol team to form an assault team, which made a detour from the side hillside into the position of the 19th Army.

Zheng Kaidi looked at Ruan Jingtian, and said with disdain in his heart: "This Gong Xiaomu is really a second, and he actually took the lead as a commando to send him to death."

Ling Yunmu was ashamed in his heart, he was a regular army and the main force, but let the gendarmerie be a commando, which made the 796th Division, which is known for its bravery, confused in the future. He originally wanted to refuse this mention yì and let his soldiers form a commando team, but when he saw his deputy battalion commander winking at him, he understood that the deputy battalion commander agreed very much with this ti yì, and sighed in his heart: "Since this young deputy captain wants to be a hero, let him go."

Ling Yunmu knew in his heart that if a commando team of less than ten people went to meet a regular army of four or five hundred people, it would directly hit a stone with an egg, and a hundred people would die. Finally, Ling Yunmu equipped Ruan Jingtian's assault team with a military-standard Type 49 rifle and a light machine gun.

After Ruan Jingtian took the initiative to successfully ask Ying, he showed excitement, and immediately summoned all the personnel of the fourth patrol team and made a simple arrangement. The fourth patrol team was first stunned, then desperate, and one of the gendarmes openly disobeyed, Nguyen Jing Tien pulled out a pistol, aimed it at his head, pulled the trigger, and the gendarme fell to the ground with a bang. Ling Yunmu and Zheng Kaidi of the 796th Division rushed over when they heard the sound, and when they saw this scene, they were taken aback, Zheng Kaidi trembled and asked, "Xiaomujun, what's going on?"

"Those who disobey military orders will be punished on the spot!" Ruan Jingtian's tone was full of blood and coldness.

Ling Yunmu secretly praised in his heart: "This deputy captain is a good leader of the troops, he is decisive in killing, admire!"

Ruan Jingtian said to Zheng Kaidi and Ling Yunmu: "Two commanders, you have recorded this matter and reported it to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of the Army."

Soon, the two documents were drafted, and after Nguyen Ching Tien signed the name "Gong Xiaomu" on the text, he led the remaining six gendarmerie to climb the side hillside.

The time pointed to half past seven in the evening, and darkness filled the entire mountain forest.

Nguyen Ching Tien hid behind a rock, and not far from him were six gendarmes from the Fourth Patrol. Ruan Jingtian considered what kind of weapons to use to kill these six gendarmes: use guns, it is not appropriate, the sound of gunfire reveals his position, and he is vulnerable to the attack of the 19th Army; it is not appropriate to use long knives and shurikens, these weapons are obviously the exclusive use of Zheguo warriors, and when someone examines the corpse in the future, it will definitely reveal suspicious points; because the dagger has been suspected by the Hu family, Ruan Jingtian has never brought a dagger; and using a black belly needle seems to be a bit wasteful and unworthy.

He touched the short sword in his arms and thought: This sword is a little blunt, but it can be used in a good way, it is somewhat suitable for the quality of the weapons and equipment of the Nineteenth Army.

Ruan Jingtian drew his short sword, secretly used Xuangang's trick, and prepared to attack the nearest gendarme. The short sword suddenly emitted a light that was not very bright, and although the light was weak, it was still a little striking in the darkness. He was a little curious, and he ran the Xuangang Technique with all his might, and the brightness of the light emitted by the short sword increased, making the short sword full of mystery.

Ruan Jingtian swung his short sword and slashed at a big stone beside him, and the big stone silently split into two halves, where is this blunt, it is simply extremely sharp, and it is like clay in pursuit. He was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said: "Take the blood of these six gendarmes to give this sword today." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Nguyen Jingtian stroked his short sword, and the last gendarme fell at his feet. He looked at the corpses of the rest of the gendarmes lying next to the rocks not far away, and said secretly to Lu Tingwen in his heart: Old Master Lu, the gendarmes who killed your whole family were all killed by me, and when I killed Zuo Tengxiong, you can rest in peace.

The rumbling sound of artillery and continuous gunfire came from the hillside, and Ling Yunmu strengthened the force of the frontal attack. In fact, this time period is a good time for the besieged side to break through, and Ling Yunmu is obviously aware of this, and his goal is to completely annihilate this battalion of the Nineteenth Army.

Ruan Jingtian was very impressed by the tenacious fighting spirit of the 19th Army. In the case of the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, the 19th Army still fought to the death with perseverance, repelling the attacks of the devils again and again, which made Ruan Jingtian extremely admired the 19th Army.

He picked up the 49-type rifle and light machine gun of the dead gendarme, and fired a few shots at the position of the 19th Army, which attracted continuous counterattack from the 19th Army.

The 796th Division's strongest firepower was the 94-type mountain artillery, which had a long range and great power, which was the main weapon to suppress the firepower of the 19th Army, and could also control the retreat route of the 19th Army.

Ruan Jing Tiantong guò shells landed at the location of the 94-style mountain cannon. He studied fluids in physics, including aerodynamics. The trajectory of the artillery shell in the air is the basis of aerodynamics, and Ruan Jingtian quickly calculated the location of the Type 94 mountain artillery.

He used stealth and took advantage of the night to touch his speculation. Sure enough, he found twenty Type 94 mountain guns neatly arranged, constantly firing shells at the positions of the Nineteenth Army. There was not much vigilance around the position, it may be that Ling Yunmu thought that it was impossible for the Nineteenth Army to sneak attack here, after all, the front of the artillery was the main force of Zheguo.

Ruan Jingtian used the Type 49 rifle as a sniper rifle, and with the extraordinary vision supported by Xuan Gangjue, he began to harvest the lives of the devils who were in charge of guarding the periphery of the position.

Soon, the artillery position panicked, and the artillery captain sent a telegram to Ling Yunmu asking for help. Ruan Jingtian did not dare to delay time, holding a machine gun, running stealth techniques, and constantly changing directions to strafe at the artillerymen. The artillery has a poor ability to fight alone, and their ability is reflected in the skillful operation of the 94-type mountain artillery.

It didn't take long for only the cold Type 94 mountain artillery to remain on the position. Ruan Jingtian was not familiar with the operation of artillery, so he had to give up the idea of using the 94-style mountain artillery to bombard the 796th Division. He threw a few grenades at the storage place for the Type 94 mountain gun and shells, only to see that the shells were detonated and the Type 94 mountain gun also flew into the sky.

Ruan Jingtian felt that the reinforcements of the 796th Division to the artillery were approaching, so he quietly jumped among the rocks and fled in the opposite direction of the reinforcements of the 796th Division.

Ling Yunmu jumped like thunder, he did everything he could, but he didn't take into account that the artillery position would be sneak attacked and destroyed. If it were not for the powerful firepower of the 94-type mountain artillery, the 19th Army on the opposite hillside would soon flee to the depths of the mountains and forests, and it was already dark night, and there was basically no hope for the total annihilation of the 19th Army.

Ling Yunmu waved his command knife and ordered the troops to attack on all fronts and try to bite the 19th Army as much as possible. For a time, the devils all over the mountains rushed to the position of the Nineteenth Army like crazy.

Seeing that the devils were no longer firing shells, the 19th Army knew that the opportunity to break through was coming, so they drew out a reinforced company to block the devil's attack, and the rest of the people retreated separately to the mountains and forests behind them.

Ruan Jingtian happened to run to the middle of the warring sides, and he saw the intentions of the warring sides clearly. A group of devils rushed towards the position of the Nineteenth Army in an arc, and less than forty people remained of the Nineteenth Army on the position.

Ruan Jingtian saw that no one in charge of the 19th Army retreated, and its number became smaller and smaller, and a sense of tragedy rose in his heart. He took off his gendarmerie uniform, hid his clothes, and saw an opportunity to jump over a position that was already unguarded, and the position was full of corpses, on which he set up a light machine gun and fired at the devils on the opposite side.
