Chapter 53: Surprise
"You two stay here honestly, don't move, be careful of being killed by stray bullets, I'll go up and have a look." Seeing the fierce fight in front, Zhang Xiaobao, who was left behind by Hou San, couldn't bear it, and then ran forward with his rifle cat's waist. When Li Dafu really saw Zhang Xiaobao's figure clearly, he found that the national army that finally hit up was actually just a child, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about Zhang Xiaobao, and Li Dafu, who was lying on his stomach, stared closely at the figure running in front of him.
After more than a month of rigorous training in Tang Cheng, although Zhang Xiaobao is still a child of only fifteen or sixteen years old, his skills are no longer weaker than ordinary soldiers, especially in Li Dafu's opinion, this child-like soldier is obviously much stronger than those bandits. First went straight and then went left and right for a while, Zhang Xiaobao, who was already extremely nervous in his heart, finally touched the side of the light machine gun, after all, this was the first time Zhang Xiaobao was really in the rain of bullets, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered when he pulled the bolt.
Biting his lip, Zhang Xiaobao pressed the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and then pressed the butt of the rifle with his shoulder socket and began to look for the target he had designed. Xu is Hou San rushed too fiercely with people, and Xu is the power of the machine gun is too strong, when Zhang Xiaobao raised the gun and was about to shoot, he couldn't find a suitable target in his sight. The target that he could see was too far away, and the bandits who were within range had already been shot and fell, and Zhang Xiaobao, who was a little disappointed, could only hold his rifle and prepare to continue to rush forward, but was held down by the deputy shooter.
"Be honest, boy, move forward with us, and be careful not to get hurt by stray bullets." Zhang Xiaobao was about to struggle hard, but saw that the light machine gun next to him had stopped firing, and the main and auxiliary shooters had already picked up the machine gun and ammunition box and were ready to get up and rush forward. In fact, there was no need for light machine guns to move forward, the two groups of bandits in the valley had already begun to retreat to the other side of the valley, not only could they not withstand the impact of Hou San and the others, but they also didn't even care to take those injured companions away.
"Run, the bandits are going to run, let's catch up quickly." Seeing that the bandits in the valley began to disperse, Zhang Xiaobao, who was still lagging behind, began to noisily speed up, but was pulled by the deputy shooter who was carrying the ammunition box. In order to clear out the bandits here, Tang Cheng sent out two light machine guns, one on their side, and the other on the other side of the valley.
"Put on the bayonet and go to mend the knives of those wounded bandits, you are not small, you should really see blood." Hou Sanfen assigned Zhang Xiaobao only one task, asking him to load his rifle with bayonets to replenish the knives of those who were injured but not dead, of course, including those who had been killed by them. Before cleaning up the battlefield, it is the practice of Tang Cheng to mend all the dead and undead enemies, Zhang Xiaobao has long seen Hou San and them do this, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn today.
If he just shoots from a distance, or turns over corpses on a battlefield full of blood to find trophies, Zhang Xiaobao will not be afraid. But when he really carried a rifle equipped with a bayonet to face the bandits who were injured and not dead, Zhang Xiaobao was a little panicked, after all, he was now facing a living life. "What? Grass chicken? How does Chief Tang usually train you? When the stone was as big as you, he was already following Chief Tang to fight the little devils, but it was just a few bandits, could it be that you were afraid? ”
The words of the deputy shooter made Zhang Xiaobao very annoyed, so he simply gritted his teeth and stabbed the rifle in his hand at the bandit on the ground. "Hahaha" The deputy shooter suddenly laughed, Zhang Xiaobao's first stab was actually off, and the blade was attached to the bandit's neck and stabbed into the dirt. "It's better for Lao Tzu to help you" The deputy shooter reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiaobao's hand and pushed it hard, "poof" A stream of dirty blood flew out from the side of the blood groove of the bayonet, and the bandit who was pierced in the chest by the bayonet no longer had the strength to scream, just glared at his leg a few times, and then convulsed and was silent.
"Boy, do you see it, killing people is that simple. On the battlefield, either you kill people, or people kill you, you must not be soft-hearted, otherwise you will die. The deputy shooter, who spoke a little viciously, grabbed Zhang Xiaobao's hand and stabbed two bandits in a row, and then let go of Zhang Xiaobao, who was already pale. Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that these things were all done by Tang Cheng to this deputy shooter, since he put on a military uniform and carried a gun, Zhang Xiaobao was destined not to live carefree like other teenagers, and learning how to protect himself on the battlefield was the first priority.
The bandits in the valley were driven to the other end of the valley by Hou San and his people, and after being hit head-on by the light machine guns on the side of the dice, the remaining 20 bandits could only kneel and beg for mercy, because they could no longer see the hope of leaving alive, and kneeling and surrendering became their only means of saving their lives. "Ask carefully, we have few people, and we can't draw it if we fold it." Gathered the bandits who had already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Hou San, whose face was rubbed with a bloody stain by a stray bullet, went to see Zhang Xiaobao, and saw that Zhang Xiaobao was not as unbearable as he feared, so Hou San began to interrogate these bandits who surrendered to him.
Shooting the bandits is not their ultimate goal, clearing the bandit cottage is the most important thing, and they can't waste so much manpower and ammunition and get nothing. After briefly questioning the remaining bandits, Hou San and his people hurriedly left the Shuangfeng Valley, leaving only Liu Shishi and Zhang Xiaobao and the two members of the Dian army to stay here and continue to clean up the battlefield. "You two will also come over to help, and you will be indispensable for a while." Zhang Xiaobao didn't forget that Li Dafu and the two were forced to lie in the grass in the distance, and then shouted loudly to the two of them to go into the valley to help clean up the battlefield.
Li Dafu was no longer just curious, he was even more surprised that when the soldiers had left, only these two young men who didn't look very big were left to clean the battlefield. Liu Shishi was naturally dissatisfied with Hou San leaving him behind, and Liu Shishi, who only fired three shots, would certainly not be satisfied with what he had just said, but he did not dare to disobey Hou San's order, if he went back and was known by Tang Cheng, he would be offended in the future.
Leaving Liu Shishi and them mainly for the tobacco in those carts, knowing that the bandits came to intercept the tobacco, Hou San and the others were naturally very happy, and the tobacco, which is now the same hard currency as the ocean. Following Tang Cheng's example, Liu Shishi, who was carrying a short gun, commanded the bandits who had surrendered to pick out a large cart that was still in good condition, loaded the tobacco and soil into the car, and then forced them to work in pairs with ropes to tie their legs and make a circle with their feet back to back. These bandits, who had no weapons and their legs and feet tied with ropes, were completely lambs to the slaughter, and Liu Shishi could watch them with only a short gun.
Li Dafu and the young man surnamed Zhang, who were called out by Zhang Xiaobao, didn't dare to say much, but just gathered the bandits' weapons together according to Zhang Xiaobao's instructions, and asked them to follow Zhang Xiaobao's example to examine the corpses, but they didn't dare. Waiting for Zhang Xiaobao and them to clean up all the weapons left by the bandits, Liu Shishi let the bandits who were pointed at him at gun loosen the ropes on their legs and feet, and then instructed these bandits who had surrendered to move the corpses on the ground to the dirt pit on the side of the road.
"What are these two people?" Liu Shishi followed the dice to the other side of the valley just now, and he didn't know the origin of Li Dafu and the young man surnamed Zhang. Hearing Zhang Xiaobao say that Li Dafu and the two were just passing by, Liu Shishi didn't pay attention to the two anymore, but the shell gun in his hand always pointed at Li Dafu and the young man surnamed Zhang, intentionally or unintentionally.
It has been confirmed that these people are all Yunnan soldiers, Li Dafu immediately put his mind at ease, and whispered to the young man surnamed Zhang to reassure, saying that these are all Yunnan troops, and they will not do anything to ordinary people like them. Liu Shi and they guarded the battlefield, and Hou San took people to the bandits' lair, originally thinking that they could take the nest of these two groups of bandits, but who knew that just a gourd rock consumed Hou San and them for almost 3 hours, seeing that the sky had darkened, Hou San, who hurried back to the valley, planned to let go of the bandit nest in the Mill Cone Mountain first.
"Come back, these bandits are poorer than us, there is not even a decent shack in the bandit den in Huluyan, there is nothing in the cave of the dog day, if it weren't for the discovery of some oceans and bullets, we would have lost money to accompany us home." The ocean that Hou San said was only 100 yuan, and there were less than 500 bullets, and these bullets were all bullets from old-fashioned Hanyang-made rifles, and they couldn't use them in Tangcheng at all.
"I didn't expect you to be able to move back to Jinshan Yinhai" When he returned to the village where the rear team lived temporarily, Tang Cheng's answer was very puzzled by Hou San and the others. "It's about to enter the border of Yunnan, and it doesn't matter much to us if there are bandits, that's the responsibility of the local militia and the garrison, and if we stretch our hands too long, we will cause trouble. I thought that this time you could take a few little guys to see what it is like to fight and die, lest these guys think that they are the second one. ”
Tang Cheng's subsequent words made Hou San and the others react, daring to love this time just to let Zhang Xiaobao and them have a long experience, they knew that this was the case, they should have saved some bullets at that time, those are all things that can be sold for money. "That's fine, at least we got a batch of tobacco, and when we get to Kunming, we will sell it when we find the black market, and if we get money, we can change a few good clothes for you, don't wear tattered people like they are now."
Hou San and the others were dismissive of Tang Cheng's words, and the first one among them to be the most broken was Tang Cheng himself. If it weren't for Lin Ying and the two female students who helped to mend Tang Cheng's military uniform, and changed into Tang Cheng before and walked to the street, I'm afraid it would not be much better than those beggars begging for food.
