After more than 10 days of hard work, a regiment of bandit suppression troops finally saw the shadow of bandits in the desert, and the soldiers were very happy.

Spotted by the warriors were a group of armed bandits led by Habuli Bari, the nephew of the bandit leader Usman, who numbered in the hundreds.

A bandit of a few hundred people is not a big force, the pursuit force of the People's Liberation Army is a whole regiment, there should be no problem in eliminating them, plus the bandits' weapons are only simple rifles, not even a decent light machine gun, no one among the fighters thinks that the battle will be difficult, and it is a natural thing to take down these hundreds of bandits.

Finally, I was able to achieve some results, and when I went back this time, I could still brag to the chief and my comrades, and it was not in vain to run around in the big sand dunes, and the soldiers were very excited, riding on horses and chasing after them.

Habuli Bari is a well-known bandit in the Usman gang, and he has a lot of combat experience in the Great Gobi Dunes, and this guy did not panic when he saw the PLA bandit suppression unit, but commanded his subordinates to shoot at the PLA soldiers who rushed over with rifles on horseback

Popping and bullets flying, Habuli Bari himself picked up a rifle, kept pushing the bullet to load, and then shot at the PLA horse team.

The cavalry charge was fast, the bandit rifles were slow, and the fire of Habuli Bari posed a limited threat to the PLA troops.

However, no matter how limited the bandits' firepower was, the weapons in the hands of the bandits could kill people, and under the constant shooting of the bandits, the attacking PLA troops still suffered casualties, and soldiers and horses were constantly hit and fell.

The troops were furious, and so far, not a single bandit of this regiment has been caught, and they have suffered casualties first, and such a thing is simply intolerable. The warriors swept over the sky overwhelmingly, no longer caring whether or not there were many blood blisters that had been ground out of their buttocks.

But the efforts of the soldiers still did not have an effect, hundreds of bandits shot indiscriminately, and after causing certain casualties to the PLA troops, they withdrew with a whistle, Habuli Bari sneered and snorted: "Hmph, want to catch up with us? It's not that easy. ”

The bandits ran away, and after inflicting some casualties on the incoming troops, the soldiers were furious and chased after the bandits' horses.

The bandits of Xinjiāng grew up on horseback and were skilled in riding. Far from being comparable to the soldiers of the troops who have just been assigned war horses, long-distance riding, the rider and the war horse pay attention to a cooperation, and if the cooperation is good, both people and horses are labor-saving. If the coordination is not good, it is not only laborious. Even the speed suffers. The warrior watched as the bandits, who were not too far away from him, ran faster and faster, and then slowly disappeared without a trace.

It's not okay to be angry, it's not okay to get angry, it's just that you can't catch up, and the work on the horse can't be practiced in a day and a half, so the fighters have to stop. Walking back along the same path, it was already dark, and it was dark, and the warriors were running with all their minds as they chased the bandits. You can still remember the way you came.

The trouble was big, not only did the bandits not chase them, but they couldn't even find the way they came.

If you can't find the way, you can't find the place where you camped, and you can't find the tent and the cold items, so you can only walk back in the general direction.

Half an hour passed, an hour passed, a sand dune passed, another sand dune appeared in front of me, the endless sand dunes seemed to never end, it was completely dark, the camp was still nowhere to be seen, everyone understood that this was in the desert to walk in a daze, and if you ran again, you might get even more lost, the soldiers had no choice but to find a leeward place to camp in situ, a qiē problem wait for the next day.

I didn't eat anything, I nibbled on some dry food, drank a few sips of water, and the troops fell asleep in the sand nest.

The soldiers were extremely tired, sweating profusely when chasing the bandits, and their rusty riding skills made the bone joints almost fall apart, and soon after lying down, they began to snore.

The climate in the desert is different from the outside world, not to mention the huge temperature difference between day and night, and it will change from time to time, and it is as hot as a stove at noon, and it can wake people up in the middle of the night.

The troops were all young men in their twenties, and they slept well after a tiring day, and they did not notice any changes in temperature in time, and when they woke up the next day, the soldiers were taken aback, and it was snowing in the desert all night, and the people's bodies were covered with a thick layer.

The temperature was very low, the body was about to freeze, the soldiers who woke up felt that their arms and legs would not move, and after a long time, they were finally able to move, and after a careful count, the whole regiment was two or three thousand people, and most of the soldiers were frostbitten, and some of their ears were frozen.

This is by no means nonsense, the human ear is in the position of nerve endings, with capillaries as the way of blood supply, it is very easy to be frostbitten when encountering cold, and the sweat of the first day is even more aggravated by frostbite, and the effect of keeping out the cold after the clothes are soaked with sweat is extremely poor, and the troops who do not know how to survive in the desert have paid the price for their recklessness, and the lesson is extremely profound.

It's enough to be scared when you think about it, if you encounter a bandit attack in the middle of the night, how can this frostbitten regiment be able to resist, let alone eliminate the bandits, and even yourself is very likely to get in.

Relying on tenacious perseverance, they finally came out of the desert, but the troops of this regiment had lost their combat effectiveness.

A whole regiment, in the pursuit and suppression operation for nearly a month, not only failed to eliminate the bandits, but on the contrary, a large number of soldiers in the desert were frostbitten, and then the gray face was pulled to the rear to rest, up to the regiment commander and down to the soldiers, they all felt extremely embarrassed, but there was no way, the big desert has its own way of behaving, and if you don't understand it, you will pay the price, and the news was reported to the front and rear headquarters in time.

Dihua, Headquarters of the First Corps of the People's Liberation Army

Judging from the situation summed up by many troops, the bandits are playing a game of cat and mouse with the pursuit and suppression units of the People's Liberation Army, and the bandits cannot defeat the PLA, but the PLA's anti-bandit units have no way to catch up with the bandits, and the two sides are going back and forth in circles over the vast land.

Unable to catch up with the bandits has become the most urgent problem for the current anti-bandit forces. If the difficulties of the troops are not resolved, the morale will also suffer.

Commander Wang, who had been pondering in the headquarters for a while, said to several chiefs: "You see if this will work, first, order the troops to use one qiē time to practice the work on horseback, and be sure to learn the skills. Second, to request support from the rear, it is best to mobilize a number of vehicles and tanks. Third, inform the whole army of the news of the complete annihilation of bandits by the Duli Brigade in Yiwu to boost the morale of the troops. ”

Several chiefs agreed, and one of them added: "Huzi, how can you forget your old subordinates, let the Fifth Army's Lesken and Lao Chen think of a way, it is said that when the Duli Brigade went to Yiwu, the Fifth Army sent a cavalry battalion to accompany it, and the table was very good." ”

A sentence reminded the dreamer, Commander Wang patted his brain: "Oh, yes, how did I forget these two guys, they are real snakes, how can we suppress bandits without them, order the Fifth Army, draw capable forces, cooperate with the large army to suppress bandits, the sooner the better." ”

When the Duli Brigade went to Yiwu to relieve the siege of Hu Qingshan, Commander Lesken and Political Commissar Chen of the Fifth Army wanted to participate in the operation together in order to get some credit for the newly numbered troops, but the request was rejected by the superiors, because their Fifth Army still had great use, and they could not be transferred lightly, and the use was here.

According to the information fed back from various quarters, the progress of the troops accompanied by the local soldiers of the Fifth Army was relatively smooth, while the troops without the local soldiers followed were a mess, and it was common for the troops to get lost.

With an order from the bandit suppression headquarters, the soldiers of the Fifth Army were divided into countless tactical detachments, and then sent to all levels of the bandit suppression units, and the Duli Brigade was no exception, but they themselves had a cavalry battalion of the Fifth Army and a platoon of Ma and Muti, so there was no need to send additional troops.

At the same time, the battle situation of Yiwu was also forwarded by troops at all levels, and the entire corps became a sensation, and everyone knew that the Duli Brigade, which was baked in cowhide on weekdays, had made meritorious service again, which was still a great achievement.

Eliminated more than 6,000 bandits, and captured Usman's daughter Iriel alive, of course, it was a great big event, a few families were happy and a few were sad, with the victory of the Duli Brigade, the morale of the People's Liberation Army's bandit suppression troops was greatly shaken, but the base camp of the bandit leader Usman was gloomy and miserable.

This is a remote grassland pasture, because of its remote location, it is sparsely populated, usually only during the grazing season in this area, and at other times only the herds of wild wolves are active here.

Recently, this area has gradually become lively, with figures swaying from time to time among the dry weeds, and earth-gray yurts are one after another, and there are some grass-green military tents in between, which shows by all signs that this is a camping area different from that of ordinary herdsmen.

The scale of the felt bag is very large, and it is conservatively estimated that there is no problem for seven or eight thousand people, and the bandit base camp that the PLA has been looking for for a long time is stationed in this ranch.

In the largest yurt in the middle, a guy with a full face was yelling at a group of people: "You all listen, Iriel is my daughter, don't look at him as a woman, he is also a hero of our prairie, I am going to save him, I want to save her from the hands of the communist army, damn Ai Baigula, it was he who made my daughter fall into the hands of the devil." ”

The one who roared and screamed was none other than Xinjiāng's biggest bandit leader, Usman, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of appeasement by Chiang Kai-shek. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
