Chapter 32: Destroy a Company

Li Yong immediately ordered the troops to spread out in battle formation, dig fortifications on both sides of this east-west Dachuan Road, and then hide it to see if the situation can fight a battle.

Li Yong has no other way for the time being, fighting a war pays attention to knowing oneself and knowing the other in order to survive a hundred battles, the situation of the spy company is that I know the situation and the enemy situation is unknown, since the enemy situation is unknown, there is only a way to wait for the rabbit, although this is a stupid way, but it is better than no way, the blind cat still has to touch the dead mouse, a certain big man once said a sentence Li Yong still remembers very clearly: whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who can catch the mouse is a good cat.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde asked the soldiers to wait patiently, and the spy company was in the dark and the enemy was in the light, so there was a chance.

When it was nearly noon, the mobile post of the reconnaissance platoon ran back and reported that about a company or so of enemy cavalry was approaching, Li Yong thought to himself that if it was really cloudy, someone would send an umbrella, and if he wanted to sleep, someone would send a pillow, and Lao Tzu was just about to fight and someone would send him to the door, just to try his hand with the enemy of this company, this was the first time that the spy company fought independently, and he had to rely on himself for a problem, and this was the time to compete.

Li Yong thought that he could not fully expose the strength of the spy company, and that it would be enough for a company of more than 100 enemies to have two platoons, so he immediately ordered Li Jiangguo's first platoon, Ma Quanyou's second platoon, and Wei Gang's machine gun platoon to be pulled over to prepare for an ambush on the enemy.

He called Wei Gang over again and explained: "After the battle begins, if you find that there is stubborn resistance from the enemy, and the first and second platoons cannot solve it temporarily, your platoon will use heavy machine guns to suppress the enemy's firepower, and if the battle between the first platoon and the second platoon goes smoothly, you don't need to open fire." ”

The main reason why Li Yong thinks about it is mainly the problem of bullets, it is not easy to replenish the shells and heavy machine gun shells of the special service company, and it is possible to save some of them, and the ammunition of the special service company is no problem, and the ammunition they got back from Panlong Town is enough for them to squander for a while, the key is that there is no means of transportation, and the number of them carried by themselves is still limited.

Ten minutes after the soldiers entered the battle position, there was a burst of horses' hooves from a distance, and gradually the sound became louder and louder, and after another two minutes, I saw a group of enemy cavalry turning from the eastern corner of the Sichuan Road, the war horses trotted, the enemy cavalry on horseback were carrying rifles, wearing hats crookedly, and some of them were holding cigarettes in their mouths, and they looked very relaxed, it seemed that this was the comfortable life of the enemy cavalry, and they had not been attacked by our army, and they were not wary at all on the march.

This is the Kuomintang troops in the northwest, looking at this clothing and style is different from the Kuomintang Central Army, not only the discipline is lax, the weapons are not good, most of them carry old-fashioned rifles, but there are also different places with the Kuomintang Central Army, after all, they are cavalry, and some people wear sabers.

Li Yong silently observed the distance of this group of enemies from his position, and the speed of the war horse trotting was much faster than that of a human walk, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, and now it was not even fifty meters.

After all the enemies had entered the ambush circle and were only more than 30 meters away from the position of the spy company, Li Yong shouted: "Hit" and then fired a point shot at the enemy's leading officer with the Tom-style submachine gun in his hand.

As soon as Li Yong's guns rang out, the firepower of the first and second platoons suddenly broke out, sixteen Czech light machine guns and eighty-four submachine guns fired very fiercely at a close distance of more than 30 meters, and the strong firepower caught the unprepared enemy cavalry off guard, most of them were killed on their horses before they could take off their guns, the horses neighed and carried the enemy's corpses around, and a small number of enemy cavalry jumped down from their horses to resist stubbornly, but before the team could be launched, the horses and men were beaten like sieves by the dense firepower, The battle was over after five or six minutes, and only a few of the enemy rushed out and ran with the speed of their horses.

The battle that ended quickly made the soldiers of the other platoons stunned, not to mention the excitement, even the soldiers who participated in the battle in the first and second platoons did not expect it to end so quickly, and it was not over yet?

Especially those old soldiers, who have been soldiers for many years, have fought a lot of battles, but this kind of battle has never been done once, and the enemy cavalry of a whole company was reimbursed within a few minutes before they could react, and the boys in the first and second rows didn't even touch a single hair of their own, not to mention that they were seriously injured or even lightly injured, and this battle was really like what the company commander said, it was too advantageous.

The machine gun platoon platoon commander Wei Gang muttered: "This is too fast, we haven't fired a single shot, what's the use of asking us to go over?" The heavy machine guns are all in place. ”

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan are very experienced, and immediately commanded the soldiers to rush up to clean up the battlefield, and it didn't take much effort for Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan to come over to report, Li Jiangguo pulled his neck and shouted: "Company commander, these enemies can't help fighting, we haven't had enough time to get over them, and patted the submachine gun on his chest, this guy is really useful, a few people who want to resist have been beaten all over the body, none of us were injured, the enemy only rushed to a few, most of the war horses were killed, and only about 20 were alive and not injured." ”

The enemy's soldiers were all killed except for a few seriously wounded, the firepower of the special service company was too fierce, on average each enemy was hit by several bullets, the weapons only captured a few submachine guns and two shell guns, the rest were all old-fashioned rifles, with an average of only fifty rounds of ammunition per rifle, it seems that the enemy in the Great Northwest is poor enough, but it is very good that every enemy cavalry has a saber.

Li Yong thought nervously in his heart: The retaliation psychology of the Majia cavalry in the northwest is very strict, and the enemy who has suffered this loss will definitely not give up, and will definitely look for our army to retaliate.

A good commander should be good at taking advantage of the enemy's characteristics to strike at the enemy, and when he thought of this, he immediately shouted: "Li Yuming, your squad has tied all the captured weapons to the war horse, Zhang Jinsong, your platoon is searching and advancing along the Sichuan Road, paying attention to observing the terrain and features on both sides, and looking for a suitable ambush site." ”

Then he turned back to the instructor Wang Chengde and said: "Rush out a few enemy cavalry, our company only exposed two platoons, according to the normal idea the enemy will think that we are an infantry company ambushing them, the enemy will definitely come back to retaliate, I want to take advantage of the enemy's psychology, once again set up an ambush to destroy the enemy's follow-up troops."

Wang Chengde said: "Dayong, you are the company commander, you can rest assured that you can command boldly, and I will listen to you in military operations." “

Affirmation from Wang Chengde, Li Yong ordered the troops to follow the reconnaissance platoon to search and advance in front, and walked about 2,000 meters, Zhang Jinsong came back and reported: "There is a bend in the front 300 meters, and the war horse can't run, so it should be a good place for ambush." ”
