Chapter 1417: The Snake Swallows the Elephant

Guo Zhuocheng looked at the sky, and estimated that the time was about 1 to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, that is to say, the main force defending Xinwei still received an order from the higher authorities in the early morning to go to the two regiments of the Red Fifth Division to reinforce the head of the Jie, and the 18th Regiment of the Red Sixth Division, which took over to defend here, had not yet arrived because of the distance and the enemy's blockade.

The remnants of the Red Army in front of them either belonged to the 14th Regiment or the 15th Regiment of the 5th Red Division. It is estimated that in the original history, they were completely annihilated by the Gui army, and if it wasn't for a few of them who happened to appear here just now, these forty or so people who were still alive were either killed or captured, and it was impossible to escape so many Gui troops.

Guo Zhuocheng did not ask the other party's number, not only because the other party obviously did not fully trust them, but also because Guo Zhuocheng did not want to cause the other party's rhetorical question because of his inquiry.

He walked up to a cowardly-looking captive and asked aloud, "Are you from the 44th Division or the 45th Division of the 15th Army?" ”

The soldier shuddered and replied, "Report to the sir, I'...... I am from the 217th Battalion of the 134th Regiment of the 45th Division. ”

Guo Zhuocheng frowned, snorted coldly, and asked, "Isn't the 134th Regiment of the 45th Division a reserve?" How did you rush to the front? ”

The soldier shuddered with fright and replied, "We...... We're not in front, we're already behind us. Our main forces are attacking the Red Bandits...... Attack your army's Pingtouling and Jianbeiling positions, where I heard that it is your army's division headquarters. ”

Obviously, this guy is not lying, because Guo Zhuocheng knows that the headquarters of the Red Fifth Division in history is in Yangliujing, surrounded by Pingtouling and Jianbeiling. He asked, "How far is this from Xinwei?" ”

The captive's eyes rolled. said: "It is about eight kilometers away from the county seat of Guanyang. ...... from Xinwei It is at least 22 kilometers away from Xinwei. ”

I saw that this guy was fluent in answers. Guo Shucheng asked, "Have you ever read a book?" Familiar with the terrain of the area? ”

Hearing Guo Zhuocheng ask about reading, the captive was a lot proud, and dared to raise his head, and said, "I have read, I graduated from normal school." My home is in Guanyang County. ”

Guo Shucheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, you will be a Red Army from now on." ”

"Me? Red-Army? The guy was stunned and said hurriedly. I don't want to be a dirt ......."

Before the word "bandit" could be uttered, Guo Shucheng pinched his neck and lifted him up, and asked with a smile: "Are you a red-soldier or would you like to be a dead corpse?" ”

The poor guy was pinched by the neck, the man hung in the air, his limbs scratched and kicked, his eyes bulged, and his tongue spit out, where could he make a syllable? The other captives trembled with fear.

Guo Shucheng threw the other party to the ground, ignoring the fact that the guy was lying on the ground scratching his neck and panting, but said loudly to the other captives: "You are all the same, either join our Red Army." Or just get some rest. Rest assured, we will not shoot you. Because we ......"

All the captives breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the captives couldn't help but say loudly: "Yes, yes, your army treats the captives preferentially." ”

Guo Shucheng shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, it's not that I treat the prisoners preferentially, it's because we lack bullets and don't want to waste them." We're just going to cut off your heads. Let you rest forever, and you will not have to worry about suffering in this world. ”

"Ahh

Guo Zhuocheng kicked the guy who fell to the ground and asked, "Have you figured it out?" Is it to behead or to join the Red Army? ”

"Join the Red Army, join the Red Army, I join the Red Army......" This guy is already timid, and he was pinched by Guo Zhuocheng like this, and he was already scared away, where did he dare to be tough? The pride he had just now disappeared without a trace, but he saw their company commander being thrown to the ground by Sun Xingguo and smashed to death with the butt of a gun.

A few of the captives were so frightened that they knelt down and said that they were going to surrender to join the Red Army.

The instructor of the Red Army Company next to him was anxious, and hurriedly whispered to Guo Zhuocheng: "Comrade, this is not in line with our discipline, we can't force prisoners." ”

Guo Shucheng said loudly: "I didn't force them, I just let them choose, whether to choose to cut off their heads or choose to be a red-army." If someone is willing to choose to cut off his head, I will not force him to be a red-soldier. Regardless of whether someone despises him or not, Guo Zhuocheng said loudly again, "Of course, we will make a bet before you agree, if I win the bet, you will honestly follow me, go to the Red Army, and I will not regret it in the future." If I lose the bet and don't want to be a red-soldier, I can go back happily and regret it in the future.

What to bet on? It's a bet that I will lead more than 20 people to fight your 217th Battalion next, and if I can eliminate the 217th Battalion and eliminate the militia group that follows, I will win. If I am defeated by your 217th Battalion, then you will win, and you can go. What do you think? ”

The captives all looked at Guo Zhuocheng with disbelief, and one of the captives said loudly: "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

Guo Zhuocheng ignored him, turned his head and said loudly to those red-soldiers: "Now I want to reflexively fight the white dog, who can still move, who can still fight, raise your hand!" ”

Those Red soldiers looked at each other, their eyes full of horror: My good man, there are at least two companies in the back, how many of us can go and fight them? It's good enough to be able to run away.

The wounded company instructor hurriedly said: "Comrade, we have too few manpower, now ......"

Guo Shucheng sneered: "What? You were scared by Gui Jun? Don't even dare to fight? ”

Being provoked by Guo Zhuocheng like this, several Red Army soldiers didn't care about the opinions of the instructors, raised their hands high, and said loudly:

"I'll go!"

"I'm afraid of **!"

"Death is death! I'll go too! ”

……

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and selected thirteen soldiers who looked in better spirits and were not injured from among them, and lined them up. Then he turned to the rest of the Red Army, including the wounded, and said: "You just sit here and wait for us, don't let the prisoners escape, whoever runs, you will kill whoever I want." Don't worry about being exposed, and don't be afraid of killing and wounding prisoners, violating discipline, and I'm responsible for what goes wrong. ”

Saying this, he straightened the tattered uniform of a clearly young Red Army soldier in the queue, handed him a rifle he had just captured, and said: "You are very brave, very good. Please tell me, how many battalions and companies are we? ”

The Red Army soldier replied excitedly: "Report! We are the second company of the 263rd Battalion! ”

Guo Shucheng patted him on the shoulder, and then said to the other twelve Red Army soldiers who were selected: "Hello comrades, today I will take you to kill the white dog, avenge the comrades who died in the second company of the 263rd Battalion, and avenge the company commander!" We want to show the majesty of our second company, and we want to make the white dog scared when he hears the name of our second company. I believe that you are not a bad seed, I believe that you are all men with eggs, I ask you now, do you have eggs? ”

"Yes!" Twelve soldiers shouted.

Guo Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay!" Each person is allowed to carry only one gun, three grenades, bullets are voluntary, and excess ones are thrown away. One! Two! Three! ......Let's go! ”

Because these Red Army soldiers are veterans of war, just now in a short period of time they have found their weapons from the ground or from the hands of prisoners, their pockets are full of bullets, they are afraid that their ammunition is not enough, some of them also carry two guns, but when Guo Zhuocheng shouted one, two, three, they all threw the excess to the companions who stayed, and then followed Guo Zhuocheng to chase in the direction of Gui Jun's escape just now.

Most of the people in the team were carrying rifles, but there were also two people carrying machine guns, and one big man carried not only a machine gun but also a large box of ammunition.

When Guo Zhuocheng left, he made a few gestures towards the hillside where he was staying, and Chen Peng, Sheng Guozhen, and the five of them quickly rushed down from above to join this small team. Liu Xiangyang and Luo Xi also got their own weapons, Liu Xiangyang carried a heavy machine gun, and Luo Xi helped him carry a box of bullets.

In fact, Guo Zhuocheng did not go far, because Sun Xingguo, who was a pioneer soldier in the front, came with news that the Gui army turned back, and in front of him was a squad of scouts, less than three hundred meters away from them.

Soon, Guo ordered the thirteen Red Army soldiers to immediately climb the slopes on both sides of the hill, each find a place to hide, and at the same time demanded that no one shoot without him firing.

As for Sun Xingguo, Chen Peng and others, they didn't need Guo Shucheng's orders at all, they disappeared from everyone's sight almost immediately, and those Red Army soldiers couldn't find them even if they looked everywhere with their eyes wide open. This made them very admirable, and it also led some people to muttered in their hearts, where did they come from, and why was their military quality so high.

To be honest, they were not optimistic about this pursuit at all before, because they were too few, and even a platoon of men was a third of the men, how could they go after and kill two companies of enemy troops? Not to mention the fact that there are militia groups behind the enemy army. Don't underestimate those militia groups, although those guys are not as good as the regular army, although their training is not as good as the regular troops, but those guys' weapons are better than the current Red Army, and there are plenty of bullets, the most important thing is that these militia groups are locals, very familiar with the terrain, and the Red Army, who are not familiar with the place, cannot defend themselves at all, and they will rush out of that place or hide somewhere to give you a shot.

Besides, the tiger is difficult to defeat the wolves, no matter how powerful the Red Army is, it can't stop the many people, one person or two people can't beat you, four people and five people can't do it, right? If not, nine or ten people should have the upper hand.

Because of this, the Red Army soldiers, who were not rookies on the battlefield, beat drums in their hearts, believing that this pursuit was similar to sending them to death. It's just that people have already saved their lives, and now they are the first to dare to fight the enemy, are they still afraid? The man at the head just now also said that everyone is a person with eggs, and they should be killed, and they should not be driven away by the enemy like a wild dog.

Before, he didn't have any bullets in his hand, so he had to retreat in order to save his strength. Now that he has a gun and a bullet, Lao Tzu can bite a piece of meat even if he dies, afraid of hair? Killing one is enough, killing two is earning!
