Chapter 50: Engaging the Enemy
Climbing up the mountain, there were only 6 Tuanding left around Tang Cheng, and the other Tuanding either ran out of strength or deserted, and Tang Cheng had no intention of taking care of those guys who deliberately deserted at this time, because he saw a puff of cooking smoke in his telescope. The presence of smoke means the existence of people, and the only people who can appear in this barren mountain and wilderness are bandits, and all the fatigue has been replaced by the joy at this time.
Carefully moving the telescope in his hand, Tang Cheng began to carefully search the top of the mountain he was in, and only after making sure that there was no danger, Tang Cheng who was lying on the ground could move his body and change his position. The flashing point that Lao Zhao said was not discovered by Tang Cheng, and after spending more than ten minutes to confirm it repeatedly, Tang Cheng made a safe gesture to the group members lying on their stomachs behind him. "Bang" just got up and wanted to move towards the lun, and the group fell down heavily, not giving Tang Cheng a chance to make a move, and the unconscious body slid down the hillside.
"Damn it, damn it." Tang Cheng, who was lying back on his stomach on the ground, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction where the gunshots rang out, but he still found nothing, and he saw nothing but the hillside in the binoculars. "Bang" was another gunshot, a group of people who wanted to move their bodies was shot and shot out a stream of bloody arrows, and a scream rang out, and the group who was not hit by the bullet in the vital part opened his mouth wide and screamed with all his strength on the weedy slope.
"Tell him to shut up, he won't die." The distraught Tang Cheng was even more confused by the screams of the group of Ding, and then turned around and scolded, and Lao Zhao next to him grabbed a handful of weeds and plugged the big mouth of the group of Ding. The wounded Tuan Ding, who was gagged by weeds, finally couldn't scream, but he twisted his body as hard as he could, and after breaking free from Lao Zhao's control, he slid down the hillside despite the fact that his wounds were still bleeding.
"Bang" accompanied by a gunshot was Liu Goat's shout, "If the hell is seen as a deserter by Lao Tzu, he will be your fate." The wounded Tuanding, who had been killed by Liu Goat, slowly slid down the hillside in front of the Tuanding, and this companion, who was still convulsing his body, made the guys who tried to desert hang their heads in unison, they really had no confidence that they could escape the bullets fired by Liu Goat. After so many casualties, Liu Goat no longer had to worry about being informed by the bandits of the arrival of his group, so he simply prepared to have a face-to-face confrontation with the bandits.
"There's smoke going up there, but I haven't noticed anyone there, so I've put a few people on the left, and if there's a situation on the left, those guys should shoot and call the police." was asked about the situation by Liu Goat, who had just climbed the mountain, and Tang Cheng, who had no clue, could only state to Liu Goat what he had encountered and what he could do. Liu Goat did not express his dissatisfaction with Tang Cheng's apprehension, he himself was just a recruit in the garrison regiment when he was Tang Cheng's age, and even Liu Goat had not even fired a gun at that time.
"You take someone to stay here to be on guard, and I'll take some people over to take a look." Without giving Tang Cheng a chance to stop it, Liu Goat personally led 40 regiments down the hillside to the direction of the smoke. Liu Goat didn't take this crackdown on bandits seriously at first, but after approaching Qinglongling, he was ambushed one after another, coupled with the appearance of the Japanese, so that everything that Liu Goat had originally planned to do well was deviated, and the anti-bandit operation that was originally just for the purpose of training became a real battle.
The anger in Liu Goat's heart has accumulated to the point where he is about to break out, and if he can't find this gang of bandits, Liu Goat can only choose to retreat and return to the county seat. The militia is the foundation of Ge Kunshan's foothold in Mengcheng, if he can't find the whereabouts of the bandits and return to the county seat, the casualties of more than a dozen people will definitely make Ge Kunshan change his face, Liu Goat is not afraid of offending Ge Kunshan, but he is not willing to lose to a group of bandits, so he decided to personally lead the team as a forward.
"The machine gun followed, and the rest of the men put their bullets on fire, keeping an eye out for movement." Tang Cheng, who has no command experience at all, is now just reading from the book, and when he was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army outside Guanghua Gate, Mazi commanded the people in his squad like this. Seeing Liu Goat walking farther and farther, Tang Cheng clenched the rifle in his hand very tightly, Tang Cheng knew what the Dao forward represented, especially Liu Goat's national army uniform was particularly conspicuous in a group of regiments, Tang Cheng could only pray for Liu Goat secretly, he couldn't persuade Liu Goat to change his mind at all.
The fierce battle came too suddenly, just as suddenly as the ambushes they had encountered a few times before, and when Liu Goat and the others were unguarded, the gunshots suddenly rang out. A dozen bandits with short guns seemed to have suddenly emerged from the dirt, and swept the regiment led by Liu Goat to a dozen with a dense rain of bullets, and then these bandits who had run out of bullets disappeared into the dirt without a trace. "There are tunnels, they have tunnels, blow up with grenades, blow up." Liu Goat's shuttle of bullets swept out with a barge gun all hit the air, and the hole found immediately allowed Liu Goat to find a place to vent.
The grenades dropped by the "boom", "boom" and "boom" regiments widened the swarthy holes into a large pit, where the bandits dug more than one tunnel, and when the grenades knocked down the rough wood used as support, the place where the support was lost collapsed into a large pit. "Da Da" Liu Goat's doom does not seem to be over, the appearance of the big pit makes the group full of surprise, but before they can see the big pit, several group members on the side were hit by a string of bullets and fell to the ground.
The embarrassed Liu Goat dragged the machine gunner who followed him into the big pit, at this time he really felt the low combat power of the regiments, if the original second company was here, after throwing the grenade, the soldiers on the side had to do just to be careful to guard the surrounding movements. "Da Da" Liu Goat fell into a pool of blood one after another with the regiment that went down the mountain, and the opponent's machine gun fire was very accurate, and Liu Goat, who threw himself into the pit, could not find a chance to fight back.
Tang Cheng on the hillside had the heart to go down to help, but this gang of bandits had been operating here for a long time, and the bandits had cleaned up the entire hillside near the old nest, not to mention the cover suitable for hiding their bodies, even if there were not many grass branches of more than ten centimeters on the ground at a high place. Liu Goat, who was suppressed in the big pit by the other party's gunfire, obviously also thought of this, and did not wave at Tang Cheng on the hillside for help, because he knew that no matter how many people came down, it would be useless.
"Nine pounds, bring all the grenades." Tang Cheng on the hillside was red-eyed by the tragic situation down the mountain, and he had no long-range firepower, so he had to pin his hopes on Jiujin. Pulling over the nine catties that came over in a hurry, Tang Cheng pointed in the direction of their left flank and shouted, "Do you see those few of your own people over there?" After a while, you touch the grenade with you, and when you hear that we are shooting, you rush down the hillside, and then throw all the grenades on your body at me, and throw them wherever the gun sounds, and when you are done throwing the grenades, you find a place to hide yourself. ”
Jiujin, who was vigorously dragged to his chest, looked at Tang Cheng a little blankly, this was the first time Tang Cheng had spoken to Jiujin in this tone, and he was still roaring loudly. "Did you fucking hear it?" Jiujin, who looked at Tang Cheng blankly, suddenly received a slap, and Tang Cheng, who was full of hideousness, put his forehead on Jiujin's head, "It's up to you whether the people below and Uncle Liu can survive or not, remember to throw grenades before you see them, don't blow up our own people." ”
Some of the confused Jiujin went to the left flank with his grenade, and Tang Cheng ordered the regiments around him to prepare to open fire immediately. There was an explosion of "boom", and seeing a cloud of smoke rising from the big pit below, Tang Cheng, whose eyes were red, was anxious. "Shoot, shoot me." Under Tang Cheng's roar, the regiments on the hill pulled the trigger in a panic, although it was difficult to hit the bandits below at such a distance, Tang Cheng still ordered all of them to shoot, not for anything else, just to attract the attention of the bandits below and win the opportunity and time for the nine catties of approaching bombs.
In the deafening sound of gunfire, Jiujin, who had moved to the left flank, began to move down the mountain, although no bandits noticed him, but Jiujin was carrying too many grenades, so that he could not speed up at all. The sudden fire on Tang Cheng's side still successfully attracted the attention of the bandits, and Liu Goat in the pit seized the opportunity to use light machine guns to fight back, and those who were still alive immediately threw themselves into the big pit.
There was no target, and they were restricted by the range and accuracy of the rifle in Tangcheng on the mountain, and the bandits hiding at the bottom of the mountain began to shout and curse loudly, and the arrogance in their words made Liu Goat, who was hiding in the pit, very annoyed. Outside the pit, those who were shot and fell to the ground became the objects of the bandits' pastime, whether they were injured or dead, or those who had become corpses, they could not escape the bandits' new round of shooting, and as the smell of blood in the air gradually thickened, the willpower of the group members was on the verge of collapse.
"Boom" "Boom" Liu Goat had already emptied two machine gun magazines one after another, and just when he was busy changing the magazines, the nine catties that had been quietly touched finally shot. Jiujin's arm strength may not be the strongest one in the militia group, but his ability and accuracy in throwing grenades are the only ones in the militia group, Liu Goat once joked that Jiujin's bomb throwing ability is one of the best in the 88th Division.
Large clouds of smoke rolled up with the explosion, and the crumbling earth was mixed with shrapnel and human fragments scattered everywhere, and the throwing distance of more than 50 meters made the broad Jiujin more like a bomb throwing machine. The continuous explosions caught the hidden bandits off guard, and also gave Liu Goat in the big pit a chance to breathe, and Tang Cheng on the hill even pressed down with more than a dozen bold regiments.
