Chapter 48 Response
At this time, the Tartar cavalry rushing from a distance had already entered their field of vision, they were carrying torches, and in the dark night, like a long fire dragon, the number of which was four or five hundred. He roughly estimated the distance, reloaded a grenade, and issued a command into the headset.
"Loading a grenade, target 400 meters, ready ...... Put!! ”
With Song Tao's order, eight 30mm grenades roared and smashed into the Tartar horse team galloping in the distance, "Boom...... Boom ......", and the horse team of hundreds of Tartars was in chaos at that time.
More than a dozen Tartars who rushed in front of the horse team were blown up on their backs, and the Tartar cavalry behind them couldn't react at all, and instantly stepped on more than a dozen fallen Tartars.
But the second wave of grenades smashed again, followed by a third. Although three rounds of grenades were fired, causing only a few dozen casualties, the speed of the Tartars slowed down.
"Crossfire, free fire, cross fire, free fire."
Hearing Song Tao's order, the eight special combat team members picked up their AN-94 automatic rifles and began to sprinkle bullets at the Tartars. Everyone used night vision devices to cooperate with long and short points, and killed and wounded more than 100 Tartar cavalry in an instant.
The rest of the Tartar cavalry, who were also old soldiers, saw that the firepower in front was too dense, and immediately divided the formation and drilled into the forests on both sides.
After a while, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the left, Song Tao and several team members immediately shot wildly at the forest on the left, and there was a scream in the forest, but the horse team still did not stop.
"Smoke grenade preparation, smoke grenade preparation, target left woods, throw ......"
Several smoke bombs were thrown into the forest, and in a few moments, the entire forest was enveloped in thick smoke. The Tartars' horse team plunged headlong into the forest that filled the front, and for a moment they could not see the situation in front of them.
They crashed into the trees in front of them, or squeezed together with their companions, and the tartars behind saw that they were not good, and immediately turned their horses and fled. But dozens of Tartars still broke out of the smoky forest.
Song Tao and the others threw off the AN-94 rifles, took out the Glock pistols, and fired at the Tartars who were lucky enough to rush out, until the last Tartar cavalry fell, and they carefully walked up to replenish the guns.
Holding the pistol in both hands, Song Tao carefully kicked away the corpses of the Tartars one by one, and shot them again when he saw that they were not dead. Suddenly, a tartar next to Song Tao suddenly turned over and bounced up from the ground, hugged Song Tao violently, and strangled Song Tao's neck with his right hand.
The team members next to them were immediately anxious, but Song Tao was entangled with this strong Tartar, and they didn't dare to shoot, and they also had to pay attention to whether there were Tartars around who were pretending to be dead like this. So I can't help it for a while.
Song Tao felt that the strength of the Tartar behind him was surprisingly strong, and he was almost out of breath. He pinned the back leg of the tartar with his right leg, kicked the ground with his left foot, and fell violently backwards, throwing the tartar to the ground in one fell swoop.
Before this tartar fell off the horse, he was also injured incomprehensibly, after he fell heavily to the ground, he was also pressed hard by Song Tao, and the hand holding Song Tao's neck was instantly released, taking advantage of this kung fu, Song Tao finally pulled out the dog's leg on his back and stabbed him several times in succession.
The tartar struggled a few times, but finally stopped breathing. Song Tao sat up, panting heavily, the body of the Tartar is really strong, and a modern mercenary like himself who has been training all year round is not as strong as that Tartar.
If the other party wasn't injured and wanted to kill him, it would have been a lot of effort. The Ming army in this era was short of food and clothing, not enough nutrition, and not enough training.
Song Tao got up from the ground, the other team members had already completed the replenishment of guns, and there were more than a dozen uninjured war horses around, all of which were gathered up by them, and then each rode a horse and chased after the team in front.
They used to be in the army, and they also went through simple horseback riding training, although their riding skills were very ordinary, that is, to ensure that they did not fall off when they were jogging, but this did improve their speed and save a lot of physical fitness.
They were no longer worried about the situation of the team in front of them now, because except for a burst of gunfire from the previous time, it had been calm now, and Hao Changfeng had also reported the situation to him through the headset, it was a group of dozens of horses.
It should be the flag-bearer who came to support nearby, but he encountered their team in a daze, and he has been wiped out by them. Therefore, Song Tao and a few special combat team members also chased the team unhurriedly.
While jogging on a horse, while carefully looking around, Song Tao had a bad feeling, that is, the horse team of the Tartars just now, at least more than a hundred people could escape. These people are veterans of a hundred battles at a glance, so Song Tao will definitely not give up on analyzing these guys.
These Tartars should be gathering reinforcements everywhere and hanging them from afar, not necessarily at any time to give them a fatal blow at the critical moment. The surrounding area is full of Zhuangzi with Tartars for more than 100 miles, and the Houjin armed forces pay attention to the fact that all the people are soldiers, and even half-grown children can fight on horseback.
Thinking of this, Song Tao began to urge everyone to speed up, they knew the terrain of this area, once they came to an ambush somewhere in front, it would be over. The more Song Tao thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Song Tao immediately used the earphone to contact the platoon commander in front of him, and asked them to send a few special combat team members to the two wings to conduct reconnaissance before passing through the complex area, and then going to Guò. Even so, Song Tao still felt that he had no bottom in his heart, and he also sped up, wanting to catch up with the team in front.
Finally, Song Tao finally saw the torches of the team in front of him, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, urging everyone to continue to speed up, and try to keep a distance of about 500 meters from the team in front, so that they can take into account both front and back, no matter which direction is attacked by the Tartars, they can support as quickly as possible.
At this time, it is almost three or four kilometers away from the sea, and the road to the sea is a plain area, and you can faintly see the lights parked on the landing ship on the seaside. Song Tao also relaxed a lot, thinking that he might be worried about the sky, and in the middle of the night, it was not easy for the Tartars to gather people.
Just when Song Tao was just breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Song Tao secretly scolded badly, and immediately used the headset to get in touch with Hao Changfeng, the leader of the platoon in front, and asked him to stop the team, form a defensive formation, and set up a machine gun position.
For the sound of horses' hooves was definitely not one, but came from all directions, and it seemed that the Tartars had gathered enough men and horses to encircle them here, and then, with the help of this undefended plain, they launched a cavalry charge against them from all directions.
And these Tartars may have learned the previous lesson, the distance between each horse is very long, and there are Tartar cavalry rushing towards a platoon of troops everywhere in the plain, and by the time Song Tao and them arrived at the team, the platoon leader had already used the carriage as a cover, formed several fixed fire points, and set up four machine gun positions.
Two jeeps and armored vehicles were also ready to strike. A platoon of fighters were hidden in the gaps between the carriages, holding AK-74 automatic rifles, looking nervously into the distance.
Song Tao and the others rushed to the team, and also entered a simple machine-gun position, and Hao Changfeng lay on the grain in the carriage, observing the surrounding situation with binoculars. Song Tao observed for a while, then put down the low-light night vision telescope.
Puzzled: "It's really strange, what are these Tartars doing, making a big movement, but I haven't seen anyone rushing over, what is the idea of fighting." ”
Hao Changfeng also saw that something was wrong, and while observing with his glasses, he said: "No, there must be a conspiracy in the Tartars, it is too abnormal to thunder and rain like this." ”
Suddenly, Song Tao stood up from the grain stack, picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the seaside, but this look was good, and he suddenly gasped. These Tartars really have a conspiracy, and in the distance on their way to the sea, there is a group of people who are busy on the road.
You don't have to guess to know that it's the Tartars who are destroying the road, and maybe a fortification there. They knew that the night was not advantageous to them, so they wanted to trap them here, and when it was dawn the morrow, a large number of their men would be able to feel it, which was a desperate idea.
Hao Changfeng also picked up the binoculars, looked in that direction, and then said with a wry smile: "These Tartars are really a good idea, even if we want to rush there with armored vehicles now, it will be too late." If the road is damaged, then our convoy will not have to figure out the road to the beach tonight. ”
Song Tao put down the binoculars, stretched out his right hand, gave a thumbs up, opened and closed his two eyes continuously, took out the compass and looked at it for a while, and then used the headset to contact the landing ship.
"Lao Gao, I'm Song Tao, and now we are surrounded by the Tatars, who are destroying the road in front, I hope artillery support, I hope artillery support."
After a while, Lao Gao's anxious voice came: "Song Tao, the artillery fire has been prepared, you can directly provide the artillery squad with firing Zhu Yuan, try to ensure safety, if the situation is dangerous, immediately abandon the grain truck, and rush back to the coast as much as possible, I have set up a blocking position by the sea." ”
