I heard a loud explosion next to me, and a wave of fire rushed towards my face. The surrounding trees, branches, leaves, and bushes were all lifted up. Sparks of all sizes invaded and fell. Several civilian soldiers had not yet
They had time to react, and were overturned by the impact of the grenade explosion. The two people closest to them were mangled with blood, and fell in a pool of blood, twitching. They couldn't even scream out of their throats, and their mouths had already been filled with blood, dirt, and teeth.
Fragment filling.
Gunshots were heard one after another in the forest, the bullets penetrated the tree trunks and bounced off bursts of dust. A thick smoke of gunpowder had risen on the entire hillside. Li Dian's troops did not advance one meter, many people would be shot and fell to the ground.
On the ground, no one of these civilian soldiers dared to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to charge forward.
At this time, among these civilian soldiers who had just surrendered, many of them would naturally have thoughts of regret. But now, how can we change this fact? Being a bandit has no way out, surrendering
After that, they could only be cannon fodder when they became officers and soldiers. But even so, the officers and soldiers gave them a seemingly small but real hope, that is, as long as they can survive it, they will never be like this again in the future.
He was no longer human inside and out like before.
Under a big tree in the middle of the hillside, Li Dian and several company commanders were squatting behind the trunk. The place where the exchange of fire occurred was about two hundred meters away. At this moment, Li Dian's face was ashen.
The hand holding the pistol was shaking constantly. Although he had been following Li Zuting for several years and had participated in some armed actions in the past, he had never been faced with a hail of bullets like today.
Before setting off, he had repeatedly warned that he was just a civilian officer and could not go to the front line to fight. But who could listen to these words? Now he could only complain and regret that he was killed more than ten days ago.
When the officers and soldiers called him for questioning, they did not say in front of Yuan Su that they were willing to "disband their troops and return to the fields." The other leaders were rough and had no other job besides handling gun barrels, but he had read books and knew how to do it.
Words, even if you go to be a private school teacher, you won't be unable to survive.
How could we have known that we would suffer such a catastrophe today!
"Master Li, Master Li... what should we do... Guan Yunzheng and Ge Xingyu together have more than 3,000 people, and we only have about 800 people, and we are still taking the lead. This is not
Are you going to die?" a company commander said in unspeakable misery.
"What else can we do? The officers and soldiers are below, and anyone who dares to retreat will be shot. If we escape now, we will still die." Li Dian said with a sigh.
"Otherwise, let's retreat to the west and go around from the other side. Damn it, these officers and soldiers are bastards. They dare not charge for fear of death, but they ask us surrendered brothers to charge in front. This is what the hell
Let us be cannon fodder."
"It would be different for other people. It is an ancient practice to send troops first. The man named Yuan was quite frank. He already said that he wanted to test our sincerity. Go to the west. There are dozens of miles of barren mountains in the west, and no one has left yet.
If you go there, you will be trapped inside. Come on, come on, tell the brothers to keep rushing." Li Dian said helplessly.
"How can we charge? There are several times as many enemies in front of us, and they are still at a condescending position. Even if we have to charge hard, we still have to kill enough people." Another officer said sadly.
At this moment, a team leader hurried back from the front. He was already covered in blood. When he came to Li Dian, he could hardly breathe. He finally recovered, and his voice was hoarse.
Said: "Sir, it's no longer possible. The brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and they can't even stand it anymore..."
Li Dian said sadly and angrily: "Can't stand it? Even if you can't stand it, you have to bear it!"
The squad leader then said: "The enemy has begun to move down below, and several enemy groups have already taken detours to attack our retreat. It may still be too late to retreat now, but if we don't retreat, even our retreat will be cut off, and we will all die."
It’s here.”
The previous company commander immediately panicked and hurriedly urged Li Dian: "Master Li, hurry up and give the order! Damn it, I quit, I don't want to die here. His surrendered officers and soldiers have no chance of survival, and they are still alive."
It’s better to just run away for your life.”
Li Dian gritted his teeth and said: "Even if we want to escape now, there is no place to escape. The officers and soldiers have said that we are luring the enemy. When the enemies come this way, the officers and soldiers will break through directly from Liu Wangshan and arrive at
It's time to attack Guan Yunzheng's lair from behind, and our side will be able to relieve the siege soon."
The company commander almost cried. In the combat briefing meeting before departure, the officers and soldiers indeed spoke in detail. Their unit pretended to attack frontally to attract the attention of the enemy's large forces. Then the officers and soldiers attacked several other militiamen.
Under the leadership of the guide, we detoured to Liuxun Mountain and made a sneak attack.
Liuxu Yunshan is the nearest place to enter the mountain, and it is also the place closest to Guan Yunzheng's base camp. Normally, because Guan Yunzheng's large troops have set up an ambush here in a dangerous position, the officers and soldiers would not dare to come in rashly. This time
Using a trick to lure the enemy, Guan Yunzheng was asked to mobilize his troops to Shanyang, which just in time left Liu X and Yunshan free.
However, it would take several hours for the officers and soldiers to take a detour into the mountain. In addition, it was impossible for Guan Yunzheng to transfer everyone away from Liuxun Mountain. Once the officers and soldiers were held back on the mountain side, the mountain would be destroyed.
All the hundreds of people on Yang's side have to get in.
"The officers and soldiers are all greedy for life and afraid of death. I don't believe they can come here to rescue us so quickly. Mr. Li, if you don't leave, then don't blame your brother. I'm rude. If you don't leave, I will leave. No matter what,
Even if I die, I won't be dragged to death here." The company commander calmed down and said straightforwardly. After saying that, he immediately got up and ran down the mountain.
"Bang"!
There was a gunshot, and the company commander, who had just run out a few steps, groaned, fell to the ground, and became motionless.
Everyone under the big tree looked at Li Dian in surprise. They saw Li Dian's pistol facing the direction where the company commander fell, and there was a puff of smoke coming from the muzzle. After a long time, he mustered up the courage and bit
Ya said: "Who the hell dares to talk about running away? Don't blame me for turning against you. I will continue to resist."
Everyone was shocked. Li Dian, who usually had no strength to kill, suddenly became ferocious, which was really shocking. After being stunned for a long time, no one dared to say another word of complaint.
, not even daring to take a breath.
Li Dian was very determined on the surface, but his heart was already cold. He didn't want to shoot anyone, but at this critical moment, if he didn't stop the company commander from escaping, it would inevitably cause more trouble.
If they flee, the hundreds of people under them will be completely finished.
At this moment, he was also scolding the officers and soldiers in his heart. Being treated as artillery fire and thrown to death on the front line was a feeling that no one could easily accept. But there was no way to retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and persevere.
Go down. For now, he can only place all his hopes on Yuan Su to break through Liu Yunshan as soon as possible and rush over to meet him.
In any case, he could still believe that the officers and soldiers were determined to clear out the mountainous area in southern Henan. If the officers and soldiers really just wanted to frame them, they simply did not accept surrender at that time. It would be easier to gather them all together and execute them. Why bother to return the favor?
Do you need to arrange new clothes and provide logistical support in the past few days?
The gunshots around him were getting denser and closer.
The team that was in an offensive posture before has now lost its offensive spirit and is completely huddled in the depression on the hillside, carrying out a desperate defense. The enemy had already tested the strength of this "vanguard force" and is now outflanking it from both wings.
It is clear that the retreat route must be cut off.
In fact, Guan Yunzheng and Ge Xingyu's troops did not have good military literacy. How could people who started out as bandits know how to outflank them? The only thing they could do was to pretend that they planned to cut off the opponent's retreat and force the opponent to retreat on their own.
Because of this, from the beginning of the outflank until now, the teams on both wings have not been able to complete the combat mission quickly, and they are just pretending to be slow. This actually gave Li Dian some room to persevere.
Just as the battle in Shanyang was approaching an hour, the explosion of some grenades suddenly came from the top of the mountain in the distance. This was followed by a series of gunshots. Some people seemed to be shouting in panic, and some were even more desperate.
They were scurrying around. The advantageous position held by the civilian army was like a thousand-mile dike destroyed by an anthill. The collapse at one point suddenly spread to the collapse of the entire army. In less than ten minutes, on the top of the mountain,
Suddenly smoke billowed, and driven by a wave of flames, the civilian army was suddenly in chaos.
Someone had already hurriedly reported this sudden scene to Li Dian, who was still hiding behind the big tree. After listening to the report, Li Dian quickly plucked up the courage to stick his head out and look towards the top of the mountain. This place was about 30 meters away from the top of the mountain.
There are two or three miles of road, and there are some dense forests along the way. The view is not very good at first glance.
But even so, Li Dian could still vaguely see the firelight in the mountains and forests, and heard some chaotic shouts. It is not difficult to guess that the army must have come from behind and beat Guan Yunzheng in one fell swoop.
, Ge Xingyu was caught off guard. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time he admired the efficiency of the roundabout operation of the officers and soldiers, which was simply extraordinary.
"Brothers, the reinforcements are here, kill them." Li Dian lost no time in rising up and shouting, and personally led several officers who had been huddled behind the big tree to charge up the hillside. The situation was reversed in front of him. If he didn't rush to show his strength at this time,
Fan, how long do you want to stay?
"Kill to avenge the commander-in-chief!"
"Third team, follow me to the west and kill the few stragglers here first. Kill them."
The troops that had been trapped in a dilemma suddenly surged to a high level like a salted fish turning over.
