Chapter 67: The Company is ambushed
After Wang Xueding returned to the city, he was furious when he found that a platoon stationed in the county town had been wiped out, and the money and food in his garrison had been looted. Crazy to find this mountain bandit and break them into pieces.
Later, it was learned from the people at the police station that the other party was a mountain bandit from the eastern Sichuan region, and he had now evacuated to the east.
Wang Xueding informed the troops in the east and north, as well as the militia in Toast, that they would immediately report to the group of bandits and launch an attack on them.
Wang Xueding also spread this information to the Sichuan troops in the north and east, hoping that they would help exterminate it if it was discovered.
At the Sichuan Army station, in the regiment headquarters office, the regiment commander Wang Wenxi was looking at the information sent by Wang Xueding, and felt very strange.
At this moment, Lan Ling walked in from outside the door. Since she left Yunnan, she came directly to Sichuan. She wanted to eliminate Shao Fei and them in Sichuan to avenge Yunnan's revenge.
"Miss, it's a little interesting for you to look at this information."
After Wang Wenxi finished speaking, he gave the telegram in his hand to Lan Ling.
Lan Ling took the information and looked at it, and laughed: "Bandit Luffy, I haven't heard of this person. I've heard of Shao Fei before, but I've been thinking about him in my dreams. ”
"Then you say, will it be the person you are waiting for?"
"It's supposed to be them in time."
Lan Ling put down the information in his hand, and then analyzed: "The bandits will not take the initiative to attack the county seat, and the layout is exquisite and the combat effectiveness is strong. It should be the person I thought of waiting. ”
"Intelligence indicates that they are evacuating eastward. Miss, what do you want me to do? Wang Wenxi asked.
"How could they go east, that is to confuse Wang Xueding's idiot. They are heading north. ”
After thinking about it, Lan said to Wang Wenxi: "Don't worry now, the situation in the Zhongdian region is complicated, and the local forces are intertwined, after all, it still belongs to the sphere of influence of Yunnan." You drive your troops to the middle area between Zhongdian and Ganzi and wait for them. ”
"I know, it just so happens that my superiors want to send someone to that area. According to intelligence, small groups of guerrillas were operating in that area. ”
Lan Ling smiled happily: "That's the best, this time we want to completely eliminate this gang of bandits." ”
Wang Wenxi's Sichuan Corps was responsible for the defense of western Sichuan, with three battalions and ten companies, with a number of about 1,500 people.
Because of Lan Ling's special identity, Wang Wenxi obeyed her.
Unlike the Yunnan army, the Sichuan army has been completely controlled by the central government and obeys the arrangements and dispatches of the central government.
All the main forces of the Red Army passed through western Sichuan and crossed the grasslands of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo. General Xue Yue threw 200,000 troops into Sichuan to encircle and suppress, and took control of Sichuan affairs, laying the foundation for the future entry of the Nationalist Government into Sichuan.
After a three-day journey, Zhao Fei and his troops arrived at Shangqiaotou Village on the morning of the 16th.
Shangqiaotou Village is greatly influenced by the surrounding Tibetan villages, and some of the houses are built in a style that is very similar to that of Tibetans. And the bowls they use are also very special, they are all made of wood.
The troops took a short break in the village. Qiangzi led the logistics team and bought some grain and wooden bowls from the villagers.
Shao Fei and Zhao Fei led the march with a characteristic, they did not enter the village if they could, and when they encountered Tibetan villages, they took a detour for fear of causing unnecessary disputes, and they did not have an interpreter and could not understand Tibetan.
After a three-hour rest, the troops had lunch and continued their departure. Cross the small bridge at the edge of the village and set off towards Zinara Mountain.
After more than an hour of marching, the road became rough, surrounded by high mountains and dangerous roads, and the slopes were covered with shrubs.
Shao Fei and Zhao Fei walked in front with a platoon of vanguard troops. Shao Fei constantly observes his surroundings, which is his habit. He didn't know why, but the terrain always gave him a sense of oppression.
"Bang! Bang! ……”
On the hillside above the troops, gunfire ruffled, and the company was suddenly ambushed. Bullets kept falling from above. Some of the fighters were hit by bullets and fell one after another.
"Retreat!" Shao Fei ordered loudly.
The fighters of the unit hurriedly withdrew back and took the wounded fighters with them.
After retreating to 200 meters, Shao Fei ordered his troops to hide. The ambush soldiers on the hillside chased down from the mountain and chased after Shao Fei and them.
Shao Fei saw from afar that those people were all wearing Tibetan costumes, and Shao Fei knew that they were Tusi's militia group. Perhaps it was because the troops were resting in Shangqiaotou Village and were informed of the Tibetan regiment that they were ambushed.
At this time, the troops were already in a position and could completely counterattack.
Zhao Fei ordered loudly: "Don't shoot, shoot back!" ”
Shao Fei turned his head and asked loudly, "Why!?" ”
Zhao Fei explained loudly: "They are Tibetans, and we can't kill them." Influencing national unity, this was the policy of the Red Army. ”
But in an emergency, the troops could not withdraw without returning fire.
"Pillar, give me the gun!"
Shao Fei stretched out his hand and took the gun handed to him by the pillar.
"What are you going to do!?"
Zhao Fei put his hand on Shao Fei's arm and asked excitedly.
"I know how to do it, let go!"
Shao Fei looked at Zhao Fei with serious eyes.
Zhao Fei let go of his hand, Shao Fei raised his gun, and a shot of "bang~" knocked away the tall hat of the person who took the lead.
The man stopped, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Shao Fei put down his gun and ordered the troops loudly: "Grenades, throw them ten meters in front of them!" ”
The fighters in the platoon took out the grenade and, according to Shao Fei's order, threw the grenade. The front of the Tibetan group suddenly burst into flames.
"Withdraw!"
The troops quickly withdrew eastward. After completely breaking away from the Tibetan group, he dared to rest in the open area in the forest.
Zhao Fei ordered the platoon commanders: "Check the casualties." ”
At this time, Xu Feiyan hurriedly ran over and said anxiously to this Shao Fei: "Brother Shao Fei, Sister Liu Ying has been shot!" ”
Shao Fei didn't say a word, and rushed to the place where the medical team was not far away. Liu Ying was seen lying on a stretcher, her right lower abdomen was shot, and blood seeped into her clothes.
Shao Fei hurriedly went over, squatted down, and pulled open the clothes underneath to check the wound. After the examination, Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, his nervous mood was completely relaxed, and he smiled.
"You have no conscience, you still laugh when I'm hurt."
Liu Ying pouted angrily, and then became affectionate again: "Shao Fei, my stomach hurts so much." ”
"Feiyan, bring tweezers, white medicine, and gauze."
Xu Feiyan hurriedly took the things Shao Fei wanted. Shao Fei used tweezers to clip out a round bullet, then put white medicine to stop the bleeding, and hugged it with gauze.
Liu Ying knew that her injury was not serious, but she just wanted to take the opportunity to see Shao Fei's expression of concern, so she didn't ask others to help her heal.
At this time, Zhao Fei came over and said to Shao Fei: "Fortunately, no one died, only 23 people were injured. Most of the guns used by the Tibetan group are earthen guns, which are far away and have little killing power. ”
"Why are they attacking us?"
Shao Fei stood up and asked.
"Maybe it's because we attacked the county seat. I inquired, and the toast in this area is all from Wang Xueding. ”
After Zhao Fei analyzed, he began to worry, and said to Shao Fei: "I don't know if those fellows who were saved by us are in trouble." ”
"It should be fine. That bastard still has time to catch them one by one. Shao Fei replied.
In fact, Shao Fei wasn't sure, but he felt better when he said this. In fact, Wang Xueding really didn't arrest the people anymore, he put all his energy on Shao Fei, a team that he hated to the core. He ordered all the troops around, the Tusi militia, and found suspicious troops to eliminate them directly.
"Hey~ I have no conscience, you don't care about me." Liu Ying raised her head slightly and complained.
"You continue to take care of her, and I'll go see the other wounded."
Zhao Fei patted Shao Fei and walked away.
Shao Fei turned around and squatted in front of Liu Ying and looked at Liu Ying.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"How do you want me to take care of you?"
Shao Fei was not very worried about Liu Ying's injury. The bullet just pressed down on the meat, not even the internal organs, and after a day it stuttered and it was fine.
"It's good that you're here with me, so I can see you."
"Okay then."
Shao Fei sat next to Liu Ying, and asked Zhao Fei to deal with other matters. I am accompanied by beautiful women, and I am also idle.
An hour later, all the wounded were treated, and some were on stretchers. Shao Fei called a pillar and a knife to carry Liu Ying, because he was not at ease when he asked others to carry him.
After Shao Fei and Zhao Fei discussed, they decided to march northeast, avoiding Tibetan areas and entering Sichuan directly.
After the direction was determined, the troops avoided the villages as much as possible and marched towards sparsely populated areas. Because of the small number of troops, the ship is small and easy to turn around, and the maneuver is very arbitrary.
After the lessons of the last Zaozo ambush, Shao Fei and Zhao Fei unanimously decided to put the health team and logistics team at the end, with four platoons of soldiers responsible for protection.
The troops marched for five days unimpeded. It has nothing to do with the way they march. After they captured the county seat, the logistics were guaranteed, and there was no need to go to the village or the county seat to buy anything.
Shao Fei thought that in this way, he could reach his destination Ganzi safely. But he never expected that a life-and-death battle for the troops was waiting for them.
