The ugly hour was approaching, and the night was already very deep. I don’t know when a thin mist rose quietly, and soon spread to the entire Tianhuang Mountain, and soon spread to the desert at the foot of the mountain. Although it was not too thick, but here
At night when the moon is waning, it greatly affects the vision. Even if you open your eyes wide, it is difficult to see clearly what is happening more than ten feet away. This kind of weather is undoubtedly a good opportunity to launch a night attack. This is true for both sides. This is
The patrols on both sides did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
At three o'clock in the ugly hour, the waning moon set over the mountain, and the fog became thicker and thicker. It gradually became so dense that it was difficult to see clearly within five feet. Even a few large bonfires lit on the mountainside could not disperse this dense atmosphere.
The haziness made the mist steam a little thicker. As his vision gradually blurred, Zhang Ge's hand that had already gripped the gun couldn't help but tighten a little tighter. His heart beat so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
.
Zhang Ge is a new soldier. Although he has been in the army for a year, he has only been joining the First Division for three months. He had been practicing at the rear base until the first division was replenished not long ago, and he came with the supplementary team.
The First Division, not to mention the earlier battle in the Surhan Valley, was unable to make it. Yesterday's fierce battle was so fierce, but he was in the reserve team. He could only watch helplessly as a bystander, without even a bullet.
Shooting one shot made Zhang Ge feel very uncomfortable. He was ordered to take turns tonight, and he had to hold back his energy to perform well. However, when it was really such a foggy weather, he couldn't help but feel extremely nervous, and also
I don't know whether I should expect the enemy to come and attack at night, or whether I should not come at all.
When Zhang Ge was nervous, his hands began to shake slightly involuntarily. When the squad leader who was standing guard with him saw this, he smiled gently and comforted him.
"Um."
There are several arrangements ahead. Logically speaking, there are no dead ends. If the food army is not to touch the front of the position, Zhang Ge, who personally participated in the arrangements, knows this in his heart. However, he knows it all, but his nervous mood is not the same.
This did not diminish him. Even though the squad leader had spoken, Zhang Ge still had trouble controlling his nervousness, and his answering voice was obviously trembling.
"Ah……"
Seeing that Zhang Ge still couldn't calm down, the squad leader couldn't help laughing. Just when he was thinking of finding a few more words to comfort Zhang Ge, something happened suddenly!
"Boom, boom!"
Two loud noises suddenly exploded in the silent night. At the same time, two huge fireballs suddenly rose into the sky, accompanied by a shrill howl.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
As soon as he heard the explosion, Zhang Ge immediately shouted out of reflex, so nervous that the veins on his forehead popped up.
"I'm so panicked, gather together, prepare for war, prepare for war!"
Seeing that Zhang Ge was so panicked, the squad leader had no time to comfort him. He flew up, kicked him hard, and roared a battle alarm. In an instant, the sentries of the Tang Army who were originally scattered around retreated one after another.
, assembled into formations to prepare for the enemy's attack. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were sleeping soundly in the two trenches on the mountainside suddenly woke up and rushed to their fighting positions to prepare for the enemy.
.
"Come on, charge forward for me!"
The man who led the night attack was Aziz Ibn Abdul, who was defeated miserably by the Tang army during the day. In order to make up for his mistakes during the day, he begged Yazid Ibn Abu for a long time before he got it.
This was an opportunity to make a difference. Everything was going smoothly at first. They had already begun to sneak up the mountain. They were only ten steps away at most before they could launch a surprise attack. However, they didn't expect that they would actually make such a big move.
The momentum of the attack made me feel angry and angry, but also puzzled. I really didn't understand what kind of arrangement the Tang army had set up, and how their sneak attack was exposed so easily. I just couldn't understand it.
When the time came, he had no choice but to order the more than a thousand soldiers who participated in the night attack to rush towards the mountainside.
"The true God is above, the true God is above!"
Now that the commander-in-chief had given the order, the large group of suicide squads naturally did not dare to delay for a moment, and jumped up one after another, shouting religious slogans, and ran forward desperately.
"Boom, boom..."
The reason why the Tang Army dared to send only a small number of security troops was that it was well prepared. To put it bluntly, it was very simple. It was to lay landmines - pressure mines. The latest product of the Hexi Military Factory was delivered when the supplies were replenished.
Some, not many, only more than a hundred, are just experimental products and have not been officially put into production. It is precisely because of the small number that the Tang Army did not put the mines to use during the day, but used them for vigilance. Is this effective?
, of course it is excellent, no, the Big Eater Death Squadron had just charged, but they were in bad luck. Mines exploded everywhere, the fire was dazzling, and the flying shrapnel hit more than a hundred big guns rushing at the front.
All the suicide squad members were blown to the ground, and the rest were in a mess without knowing why.
"shooting!"
Taking advantage of the panic among the officers and soldiers of Dashi, the already shrinking security platoon began firing randomly. Under a hail of bullets, more than a dozen unlucky Dashi death squad members rolled to the ground.
"One after another……"
Zhang Ge was originally very nervous, so nervous that the hand holding the gun was trembling, but after the first shot was fired, his heart slowly calmed down, and he murmured softly in his mouth, but his hand was not slow at all.
Loading, shooting, reloading, and shooting again, the marksmanship that I had practiced so hard on weekdays gradually came into play, and one after another Dashi officers and soldiers were shot to the ground.
"Crossbowman, cover!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Aziz Ibn Abdul couldn't help but become anxious. He yelled and ordered the two hundred crossbowmen who were sneaking in the middle of the team to release arrows to cover his charge.
"Whizzing……"
The officers and soldiers of Dashi who participated in the night attack were all brave men selected from the army. They were all good at martial arts, especially the crossbowmen, who were the strongest in archery in the army. These two hundred crossbows
As soon as he opened his bow, a shower of arrows rushed up from the Great Food Army formation like locusts, piercing the sky at high speed and heading towards the Tang Army's guard row.
"Monitor..."
The distance between the two sides is really too close, only less than forty steps. Although each other's sight is blocked, they can only barely see the blurry shadow of the other party through the firelight, but this is not enough for the large eclipse crossbowmen.
In terms of shooting, it did not have much impact. Under such a dense rain of arrows, the guard platoon of the Tang Army inevitably suffered losses. More than ten people were killed, and nearly ten officers and soldiers fell. Among them, Zhang Zhang was standing there.
The squad leader next to Ge, Zhang Ge, who was shooting, saw that the squad leader who had always cared about him fell down with an arrow, his eyes instantly turned red, he yelled and reached out to help him.
"Shoot, shoot..."
The squad leader is already in a dying state, but what he can't forget is the blocking mission-the Tang Army's mines are limited, and if they want to be foolproof, they can't land them at the foot of the open mountain and can only set them up near a relatively narrow cordon.
Come on, we are only about sixty steps away from our own forward position. If you want to avoid being rushed into the trenches by the death squads, the blocking of the security platoon is extremely critical. If you can delay it for a little longer, you can help your comrades in the forward trenches.
Gain valuable preparation time!
"Shoot, shoot!"
Seeing that the squad leader had not forgotten the mission of blocking before he died, Zhang Ge burst into tears uncontrollably. He roared and fired continuously, killing several of the Hungry Death Squad members who rushed forward one by one on the spot.
"Rush, for the glory of the true God, rush!"
The security platoon of the Tang Army had only a small number of troops. After being looted by the large army of archers and crossbowmen, only about twenty people were left who could still shoot back. The sound of gunfire became sparse obviously.
Seeing this, Z. Ibn Abdul refused to waste any more time. He roared, jumped up, and led the personal guards to launch a charge. With him taking the lead, the soldiers who were still in shock were
The morale of the food officers and soldiers was immediately boosted, and they started running wildly with shouts.
"Follow me and stop the thieves. I am invincible!"
According to the order, the security platoon was only responsible for blocking the enemy for a moment and then retreating. However, the enemy troops were rushing too fast at this time. When the platoon leader in charge saw this, he was afraid that the enemy troops would follow his troops and rush into the forward position.
Instead, he shouted loudly and led the remaining twenty soldiers to attack the surging enemy troops.
Lunge, block, lunge!
Zhang Ge was completely red-eyed. No matter how many enemy troops were rushing up, he shouted and ran into the enemy army. The spear in his hand was flying like flying. According to his usual training habits, he fought with all his strength and crazy.
And forgetting himself, he saw blood when his gun came out, and took the enemy's life with every move. In a blink of an eye, he stabbed down several ferocious Dashi soldiers. However, his bravery soon attracted the siege of several Dashi soldiers.
The sharp scimitar was slashing in all directions. Even though Zhang Ge took advantage of the situation and assassinated another enemy in front of him, he could no longer avoid the swords.
"Boom!"
Blood spurted out wildly, and all the strength he had used in the past quickly passed away. Zhang Ge, who knew he was inevitable, did not hesitate at all, and tugged the "glory bomb" tied to his chest with all his strength.
With the last bit of strength, he jumped forward, rolled and smashed into the swarming enemy troops, dragging the two frightened Dashi soldiers to death. No matter how the enemies slashed and punched them, they would not relax.
Suddenly, after a wisp of green smoke, a violent explosion finally sounded, and Zhang Ge's time was frozen at the ugly hour of February 18, the first year of Tiaolu!
"Come on, God is above, kill, kill, kill!"
Although the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon of the Tang Army were brave and fearless, and everyone fought to the last breath of their lives, their strength was too small. They only blocked the food army for a little more than a cup of tea, and the whole army was so heroic that it was gone.
The blocking army of food shouted wildly and swept with all its strength towards the Tang army's forward position, which was less than fifty steps away...
