Mengshan Army

"My lord, calm down." Seeing Cao Kun's fury, Ma Jianxun hastily dissuaded him, "Don't raise your troops when you are angry." Ma Jianxun also felt useless. The bandits' firepower is not strong, but they are well-organized and occupy a good location, especially when they advance and retreat well. , Reckless fighting is definitely not the answer, "There is a sharpshooter among the bandits, who specifically aimed at our officers. It is very tricky. I think it is better to capture the small high ground first, suppress the bandits with firepower, wait for the detour troops to get news, and then attack them." Let's attack."

Cao Kun scolded angrily, and felt sorry for the officer of the first team who died in battle. He was a good officer who came out of the small station, took the lead, and fell in this unknown Mengshan!Ma Jianxun's words made him calm down, "Well, you call the officers above the platoon leader, and we will make a total calculation."

Long Qian personally commanded Lu Shan's team to smash the first attack of the official army in the afternoon. The small team only injured one soldier, but it was still slightly injured. He was shot in the shoulder, which did not affect the movement.Lu Shan said excitedly, "Let the captain command you, the turtle sons are definitely still learning how to crawl under the building."

Long Qian looked up solemnly, and looked up at the sun hidden in the clouds in the west, "Don't be too happy. Cao Kun will change his tactics if he suffers a loss. Call Wang Mingyuan and Feng Guozhu. In addition, Lu Shan, you go and fight against him." Half of the people on that high ground have retreated, and the government army will definitely seize that high ground next time. You take two clever brothers to stay there, and when the government army launches an attack, retreat after a few shots."

"Don't want that highland anymore?" Lu Shan has seen the effect just now, and it's a pity to give up now.

"It is estimated that he will retreat after two more attacks at most. We don't have to fight them desperately. We are buying time, not fighting them desperately. Remember, you must understand the purpose of the battle! Go ahead."

Wang Mingyuan and Feng Guozhu soon arrived at the hidden staging area behind the hillside, "Guozhu, take your team to the west from Duduo Village," Long Qian made a gesture that Feng Guozhu could understand, " The officers and soldiers are not stupid. If it is difficult to break through the front, they may try to turn around. The only way to climb up is there. If you find officers and soldiers, drive them back with a volley of guns, but don't chase them! Hold until they retreat!"

Feng Guozhu agreed to go.Long Qian turned to Wang Mingyuan and said, "Leave your team under my direct command, and you organize the retreat of Tuudu village, and hide the immobile wounded number and the seven women in those vegetable cellars, and leave them Put down food and water, pile up excrement and urine on the cover of the vegetable cellar as much as possible, and make a good camouflage, understand? Taking them away is sending them to death! In addition, tell Song Jinguo not to be reluctant to give up everything, get rid of dry food and weapons, and burn everything that cannot be hidden Drop! Just say this is my order! Prepare to set fire to Dudu Village, so that Cao Kun would never think that there are still our people there! You should check the arrangement yourself, it may snow after dark, and we are ready to retreat at any time. Tell those women, take care of our wounded ones, we will be back soon, whoever dares to betray the wounded soldier to the officers and soldiers, I will chase him to the ends of the earth and wring his dog's head off!"

"Understood." Wang Mingyuan hurried away.

On the Tianmen battlefield, the officers and soldiers did not move, the shelling stopped, and there was an uneasy tranquility on the battlefield.The sun moved westward, and the light gradually dimmed. When Long Qian was thinking about why Cao Kun gave up today's attack so easily, fierce gunshots came from the direction of Dudu Village.

"Hey, that's it! Brothers, get ready to fight." Long Qian ordered.

The gunshots told both sides desperately needed information.Cao Kun's frontal attack was also formally launched. They first sent a platoon to occupy the small highland, killed one, injured two, and finally occupied the unnamed highland that made him feel very threatened.

After the occupation signal was issued on the small high ground, the artillery began to bombard the main position of Tianmen.As the cannons continued, Ma Jianxun led the fourth team to launch the most ferocious attack on the Tianmen position.

At the risk of being injured by his own artillery fire, Ma Jianxun led the fourth team to launch a frontal main attack.The faint gunshots from the south informed that the second attacking team had engaged the bandits, and what they needed now was to break through the front. According to the guide, after passing the Tianmen Gate, you will reach the Guangming Temple, which is a rare sight on the top of the mountain. A piece of flat land, "the road is wide enough to walk three or four carts side by side, and the piece of land in front of the temple can be used for singing opera." This is what the guide said.

Only then did Ma Jianxun realize that the bandits were very cunning. They actually knew how to hide behind the hillside during the shelling, and then went to the ground after the shelling stopped. They cleverly took advantage of the distance and occupied the ground first.This is the main reason for the failure of the first attack.So this time I made an appointment with the artillery, and decided to attack first at the risk of being accidentally injured by my own artillery fire.

Probably saw that the officers and soldiers launched an attack ahead of time, so Long Qian rushed to the position without waiting for the bombardment to end. Ma Jianxun really hoped that the artillery would shoot just right and use the powerful 75mm mountain cannon to tear up these hateful bandits, but the artillery The shooting stopped according to the agreed time, they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people.

Ma Jianxun saw that there were many people rushing up from the bandit army, at least one team.A big man in the lead raised his gun and shot while running, and actually hit a platoon leader rushing to the front!Ma Jianxun stared at the bandit in surprise, seeing him pull the bolt to withdraw the shell quickly, and fired again, another soldier who was running ahead was shot and fell to the ground.The big man shot again with incredible speed, and another soldier was hit in the head!Ma Jianxun believed that this person was the sharpshooter who caused heavy casualties to a group of officers. "Brothers," Ma Jianxun shouted hoarsely, "shoot that guy and kill him!" mean.Ma Jianxun saw that the big man had already thrown away his rifle, drew out his saber, jumped over the dilapidated parapet and rushed into the attacking team of the officers and soldiers. He cut off the head of one of his soldiers with the first strike!The gangsters were encouraged by the ferocity of the bandit leader, Na shouted and killed them, and the two sides soon fought hand to hand.

The initial collision was fierce and cruel, with the sound of metal clashing, the sound of knives and guns piercing into flesh, and the screams of wounded or dying people intertwined.

The viciousness of the gangsters suppressed the officers and soldiers, and the casualties caused by the brutal hand-to-hand combat soared. The scene of blood flying and screaming made the officers and soldiers who believed in their well-equipped weapons began to shake.Ma Jianxun yelled loudly, trying to stop the panic that had started to spread, but as the brave officers and soldiers at the front were all casualties, the team finally collapsed, and the fleeing team wrapped him back, and quickly turned into fleeing, many soldiers threw Dropping the weapon in his hand, he jumped down the mountain road to hide in a deep ditch, or collided with the officers and soldiers who came up with reinforcements. Ma Jianxun painfully admitted that the attack failed again.

The big man in Ma Jianxun's eyes was Long Qian.

Long Qian could see clearly from the hillside.Lu Shan had already retreated to the main position. Apart from Lu Shan's small team in the Tianmen defensive position, there was Wang Mingyuan's second team in Long Qian's hands. Long Qian saw that the army had already launched an attack, so he couldn't wait for the artillery fire to stop. Move, then Tianmen will definitely fall.We must not let the official army occupy Tianmen now, so that hundreds of people of our own will not be able to withdraw safely. Even if we escape by ourselves, this armed force that has completely trusted itself will be finished.

Long Qian ordered his subordinates to prepare swords and spears, "Brothers, kill me later, and use a big sword to chop back the bastards. Their cannons will be useless if they fight together. I will leave my words here If anyone pretends to be my grandson, be careful that my saber will not recognize you." Long Qian glanced fiercely at his subordinates, "This is the last time, fight back those who fight back, today's battle is over."

Long Qian seized the time and prepared to crush this attack with a fierce counterattack.Seeing the gray figures of the officers and soldiers approaching the Tianmen position, it is estimated that their cannons will not fire again.Long Qian yelled, and rushed down the hillside with his rifle in his hand, followed by more than a hundred screaming soldiers. The distance of 50 meters quickly approached. Qian's brigade fought together, Long Qian fired repeatedly, killed four officers and soldiers with five bullets, threw away his rifles, drew his sword and fought hand to hand with the officers and soldiers, Long Qian's actions boosted morale, and soon overwhelmed the officers and soldiers.

Long Qian cut down three enemy troops in a row, and was protected by Lu Shan and Jiang Yun, but the enemy had already started to disperse. Long Qian shouted loudly to boost morale, and the scene of blood and flesh aroused his latent hostility. It was also the first time for Long Qian to fight fiercely. He suddenly saw blood dripping from his left arm. He didn't know whether he had been hit by a stray bullet or failed in the hand-to-hand fight, but he felt no pain. The glaring blood calmed him down, "Stop, stop!" Get down!" He wanted the troops to withdraw, but the troops had rushed up irresistibly, chasing the officers and soldiers back like ducks. The reinforcements couldn't use their strength, so he pushed Jiang Yun away, picked up a rifle and checked the magazine, "Come on, drive the bastards down the mountain." Long Qian yelled and rushed up.

At this moment, Cao Kun wanted to cry but had no tears.Ma Jianxun's incompetence made him realize that there was a big problem. Now the reserve team that was going up was thrown into chaos by the three teams that were retreating. Hundreds of people crowded on the mountain road in a mess, and there were bandits chasing fiercely behind. Live in defeat, everything is over.Cao Kun, who inspired the fierce surname, decisively ordered his guards to shoot at the retreating troops, and used the most severe means to stop the trend of collapse, and finally stabilized, preventing the bandits from rushing in front of the cannon.

Taking stock of this attack, the four teams actually lost 56 people, not including the injured numbers who retreated.The officers and soldiers who had stabilized their footsteps had lost their attacking vigor. Cao Kun waited for the second team that had failed in the roundabout to come back, and decided to stop the attack, and dragged the other two cannons from the foot of the mountain up.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will tear up these bandits!" Cao Kun's ferocious surname was also aroused, his eyes were red, and he kept cursing.Unfamiliar with the terrain and suffering from night blindness, attacking at night is not considered.
