Chapter 347: Life is better than death and death is worse than life
The Marine Corps of the Far East Group is a new battle order. Although it is affiliated with the Navy, the Marine Corps has less than one division and basically fights under the personal command of Li Ningyu.
In addition, many members of the Marine Corps were mainly soldiers of the former Northeast Field Army. They first followed Li Ningyu into the country, then sent troops to Beijing, and finally went to Southeast Asia, fought in the Netherlands, and traveled to the Middle East.
Wang Erxiao is one of this team, a veteran with a low military rank but three years of military strength. This time the troops are sent to the built-in area. Wang Erxiao is responsible for leading the reconnaissance squad as a pioneer.
But it seemed that God was deliberately causing trouble for him. After setting out in the morning, something went wrong. First, the road collapsed, and then he was ambushed shortly afterwards. However, there were not many enemies on both sides of the road. It was just in the process of opening the road that three people
Two of the military off-road vehicles serving as the vanguard hit mines and exploded, killing three soldiers on the spot.
Through the walkie-talkie, Wang Erxiao reported the attack he encountered on the mountainside to the Yangtze River and began to fight back. However, this group of enemies did not seem to be ready to fight. After firing a few shots, they began to flee. Now Wang Erxiao
Erxiao was anxious. If he let the enemy run away unscathed, he would not be able to hold his head high in the Marine Corps in the future.
When the ambush enemy attempted to retreat, Wang Erxiao immediately ordered five injured soldiers to rely on hiding spots to wait for reinforcements. He himself led more than a dozen comrades to pursue the enemy in two parts.
But just when Wang Erxiao led the pursuit to a certain place on the mountainside, gunshots rang out continuously.
"Pah!...Pah!...Pah!..." Three crisp sounds echoed on the mountainside.
But these three gunshots were not from Wang Erxiao in pursuit, nor were they fleeing enemies, because the three gunshots came from different directions. Just after the three gunshots, there were two people beside Wang Erxiao.
People fell down, and one of them was hit in the shoulder. Obviously the shot was also a fatal blow, but it missed a little.
From hearing the gunshot to his comrades being shot and falling to the ground, everything happened in just a few seconds with lightning and thunder, but Wang Erxiao, who had been in the army for three years, immediately realized something.
"No! There are snipers! Everyone, lie down and take cover!" Wang Xiaoer shouted, and the rest of the people around him quickly lowered their bodies and looked for hiding places nearby.
"Pah! Pah!" Just as everyone was looking for cover, two gunshots rang out from around them.
The second child of Fu Di Wang was extremely anxious at this time, because the enemy who ambushed them was running away, but if they got up, they would probably be shot by the opponent's snipers, but sitting still and waiting for death was not an option. Then the second child of Wang immediately issued an order
Said: "The first class covers and shoots, the second class finds the sniper's lurking point!".
All the soldiers of the two squads of the Warrior No. 1 Pioneer Regiment commanded by Wang Erxiao who were chasing the enemy took the order and replied: "Yes!".
Then gunshots continued to be heard throughout the valley. Among them, light machine guns were firing blindly at the surrounding locations where snipers might be hiding. The flames of the light machine guns were spraying in all directions, and every place where snipers might be hiding was attacked.
Come to suppress fire.
Wang Erxiao, who was lying on the ground observing, saw the light machine gun blindly firing in all directions, and also searched for possible hiding places around the sniper. However, after a minute of blind firing by the machine gunner, the sniper's hiding place was still not found.
.
Wang Erxiao was not surprised at all when such a situation occurred. At the same time, he already knew in his heart that the opponent was not a group of stragglers. Otherwise, after being attacked by a light machine gun, he would definitely fight back. And in front of the powerful opponent,
At this moment, Wang Erxiao felt a fighting spirit in his heart. Then he directly put his hands on the ground, lowered his body, and began to rush around on the hillside.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Three gunshots came from three places, and white smoke suddenly flew around Wang Erxiao, who was running around. It was Wang Erxiao who personally lured the enemy this time, and the hidden sniper was completely exposed.
own position.
Wang Erxiao's attempt to lure the enemy worked. When three snipers shot at Wang Erxiao, the soldiers from the two squads found their lurking point, and then naturally began to cooperate with fire suppression and individual soldiers' advance.
The three cunning snipers, after realizing that they had been exposed, immediately began to move to the ground in an attempt to escape.
However, snipers are just snipers after all. In the face of numbers and firepower, one person was eventually killed, one was captured, and the other escaped. In this confrontation, the team led by Wang Erxiao suffered three casualties, including personally
Wang Erxiao, who had lured the enemy, was also shot in the calf.
This sudden ambush ended in less than an hour. It can be said that the Far East Group suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Warrior No. 1 Pioneer Corps, two off-road vehicles were damaged, five soldiers were killed, eight were injured, but only three enemies were killed, one was captured, and no other useful things were found.
But this time Li Ningyu did not make any criticism. Instead, he praised Wang Erxiao and told him that under the circumstances, Wang Erxiao did the right thing, because if he continued to pursue the deserters, it was very likely that the Marines would be killed.
The sacrifice was even greater, and this battle was well planned by the enemy, so the Far East was not defeated, but just careless.
For the next few things, Li Ningyu began to redeploy.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, on the top of Serat Mountain in the area controlled by the Kingdom of Hejaz in Saudi Arabia, a convoy of the Far East Army was stationed here. Except for one battalion of soldiers who stayed on guard, the other two battalions began to search the mountain.
The smoke also floated up at the same time, and it seemed that the Far East Army was preparing to spend the night on Mount Serat tonight.
Regarding being ambushed this time, Li Ningyu actually wanted to curse loudly, but his opponent was obviously fighting guerrilla warfare against him, so as a man who made his fortune through guerrilla warfare, Li Ningyu would not be stupid enough to curse himself.
Looking at the prisoners in front of him, Li Ningyu looked cold. Although he knew that there must be sacrifices in the war, every one of the marines he led to the Middle East this time was personally selected by him, so his heart dropped.
Blood, if these soldiers died in the confrontation, Li Ningyu would not be like this, but three of them died in the explosion of landmines, which made him very annoyed. You must know that this has not yet entered the Najd area?
So before that, Li Ningyu personally sent a telegram to King Dule Aziz of Hijaz, asking him to give an explanation.
The interrogation of this sniper was also carried out by Li Ningyu himself. This man looked short and capable. Li Ningyu went straight to the topic and asked through gritted teeth: "Tell me the power behind you, otherwise I will make you alive."
It’s better to die, and it’s better to die than to live!”.
