Chapter 490: Baggage Troops
The devil's alert detachment was quietly killed by Yang Ling and them, and thirteen cold and stiff corpses were thrown into the overgrown stone ditch, and all that awaited them was the fate of decay. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The scout panted and rushed back: "There are no devils in the first five miles. ”
The devil obviously didn't expect Yang Ling to go around their backs to beat their baggage troops when the battle was fierce at the front, so the vigilance on the transport mountain road was not strong.
Yang Ling didn't know when the devil's baggage troops would arrive, so he didn't delay and quickly arranged an ambush position.
The ambush position is chosen in the col where the devil's sentry detachment is stationed, and the S-shaped mountain road will limit the devil's vision and prevent the clues from being discovered in advance.
"Blacksmith, you take the machine gun platoon to ambush the opposite hillside, and be responsible for suppressing the devils when the fight starts."
The blacksmith looked in the direction of Yang Ling's finger, the hillside was facing the mountain road that stretched in the direction of Minshan, and the machine gun was placed there.
The blacksmith smiled sinisterly, and the brothers with the machine gun platoon climbed up the hill along the dead vines.
"Beard, you take a company to hide in the woods over there, responsible for sealing the devil's retreat, I want to wipe them all."
"Yes!" Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Huzi raised the shell gun in his hand and shouted: "Second company, follow me!" ”
Yang Ling personally took the remaining brothers to hide in the forest about a hundred meters away from the mountain road.
The mountain road was rugged, and the sides of the road were even denser woods, which provided Yang Ling with excellent cover, and now that the big net had been opened, they only had to wait for the prey to enter the trap.
The rustling of the mountain breeze through the treetops brought a cool breeze, and the brothers hidden in the forest endured the bite of mosquitoes and hibernate quietly like beasts of prey.
As the minutes ticked by, two hours passed, and there was no movement on the other side of the trail, which made the patience of many brothers almost wear out.
"Deputy of the regiment, the little devil won't pass from here, right?"
Chen Ming, the commander of the second battalion, slapped the mosquitoes that had bitten him on his neck, looked up at the empty mountain road, and looked a little impatient.
"There is only one way to Minshan, and the devil must have passed through here."
Yang Ling's tone was full of confidence, and he leaned on the trunk calmly, without the slightest impatience.
Yang Ling's confidence was not for nothing, but he checked the map of the vicinity before setting off, and if the devil wanted to transport a large number of weapons and ammunition, then he must pass through here.
Yang Ling's answer did not dispel the anxiety of the second battalion commander Chen Ming: "Could it be that the devil noticed our ambush?" ”
Looking at the anxious Chen Ming, Yang Ling soothed: "Camp Commander Chen, don't be impatient, we haven't alarmed any devils all the way, I'm sure the devils don't know that we have gone around behind them." ”
Chen Ming thought about it, they walked through the mountains and forests, and they did not show any traces, but looking up at the mountain road where there were no figures, he was still a little relieved.
"Here, little devil is here!"
Just as the brothers in ambush were waiting impatiently, a brother in disguise came running from a distance.
The brethren, who were suffering from mosquito bites, were shocked and looked to the mountain road in the distance.
"Deputy regiment, the devil is here." The brothers who went out to investigate excitedly reported to Yang Ling.
Before Yang Ling could speak, Chen Ming, the commander of the second battalion, couldn't wait to grab the scout's sleeve and asked, "How many devils are there?!" ”
"There are three or four hundred, and the mules and horses are not in sight."
Hearing the scout's answer, the joy on Chen Ming's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, he turned his head to look at Yang Ling, who was bowing his head and pondering, and asked, "Deputy of the regiment, do you want to fight?" ”
Although they came this time with the establishment of two battalions, they actually only had more than 500 guns.
Although it is facing the devil's baggage soldiers, the devil's baggage soldiers are also well-trained, and they are the supplementary soldiers of the main battle unit, and they can be supplemented with guns at any time, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
According to the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides, if they want to eat these three or four hundred devils' baggage soldiers, then their strength must be at least three times that of the devils to be sure.
But now they only have 500 brothers, although the enemy can attack in the dark, but if they can't quickly solve the other party and get entangled, once the devils in the direction of Minshan come to reinforce them, they will be finished.
Although Chen Ming, the commander of the second battalion, wanted to fight the devils very much, he was also hesitant now, if he did, he would definitely take a big risk, and if he didn't pay attention, they would be wiped out.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, fight!"
As a commander, Yang Ling knew that he could not hesitate at such a time, so he made a decisive decision.
"Do you really want to fight?" Chen Ming was afraid that Yang Ling would be carried away for a while, so he asked again uncertainly.
"The devils wouldn't expect us to fight them in ambush, this is our advantage, as long as the first wave of firepower gives them enough damage, this battle will be won!" Yang Ling's tone was extremely firm.
Yang Ling's decisive self-confidence undoubtedly affected the hesitant Chen Ming and them, dispelling their doubts.
"Okay, then fight!" Chen Ming also gritted his teeth and dispelled the thought of retreating.
"Huzi, you go and tell the blacksmith, don't spare the bullets, I want him to use up all the bullets three minutes after firing, and then charge!"
"Yes!" Huzi answered, and quickly ran towards the blacksmith's machine-gun platoon.
"Prepare for battle!"
Under Yang Ling's order, the brothers hidden in the forest lay down along the forest at the edge of the mountain road, pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, and the grenades also unscrewed the bottom cover of the safety and put it in a convenient position.
"Pass the word, after the start of the fight, use the bullets in the magazine as quickly as possible, and then charge with a bayonet!"
Yang Ling now knew very well that this battle must be resolved quickly, and he had to fight the devils before they could react.
If the fight is a stalemate, then their situation is dangerous, so he is not prepared to consume it with the devil, and he will charge after a wave of bullets swept down.
After Yang Ling and the others were ready, a devil soldier with a blood-red plaster flag on his bayonet had already crossed the mountain beam where his vision was blocked and appeared in his field of vision.
Immediately behind this devil soldier were more than 20 devil soldiers with guns looking around, and about 30 meters behind them, a mule and horse with two ammunition boxes strapped to their bodies also appeared over the mountain beam with great difficulty.
One mule after another, loaded with ammunition and supplies, came over, and there were more than a thousand mules and horses in the long procession.
The brothers salivated as they looked at the horses and mules loaded with ammunition and supplies, and they were eager to grab all the ammunition.
Yang Ling estimated that there were about 400 devils in the two devil squadrons, perhaps because of carelessness, half of the devils did not carry guns, but concentrated on leading mules and horses, snorting tiredly.
But thinking about it, Yang Ling was relieved, these devil soldiers were not soldiers of the combat army, their main task was to transport supplies and ammunition as coolies, and they rarely had the opportunity to participate in the battle.
And they have walked several times on this route in the past few days, and they have not encountered any danger, so it is inevitable that they will be careless.
