The group of people sneakily touched the edge of the forest, quietly raised their heads, and glanced towards the middle of the road. At this time, Xiong Pi, who was immersed in paving the way, felt a chill in the back of his head for no apparent reason.
"That thief lowers his head to clear the way. He must be easy to fight. The thief behind has not noticed us yet. Well, my lord told me to capture the spies, but I didn't say how many. Just capture the one behind. A Ze, A Jun, you wait.
"Stay here, I'll shoot down the thief in front with my bow and arrow, and you go catch the one in the back!"
Among the two regiments, Wei Ze is a native of Guangxi. His ancestors were transferred to Guangning by the Ming Dynasty to "prevent the Yao" and settled here. He is a local who makes a living by walking in the mountains, farming and hunting, and is good at
Shanlu is short and capable; another named Ajun, Li Junjun, is also a hunter. He has good strength and can also walk in the mountains and hunt, but he is simple-minded and not very smart.
Judging from the abilities of these two people, it should be effortless to suddenly rush out and capture an enemy soldier.
The two nodded silently to express their understanding.
Shao Laosan spat into the palm of his hand, took off a bow from behind, and signaled the other regiment members to prepare for shooting. He bent the bow and set an arrow, and steadily aimed at the unconscious Xiong Pi. Xiong Pi waved his machete.
After working on the bushes for a long time, the back of his neck was glistening with sweat in the sun. Within a distance of less than sixty steps, he was sure to shoot through both of them with one arrow, while two regiment members held knives and touched Li Luhu.
"Huh?" Deep in the forest, several branches suddenly swayed unnaturally. Li Luhu immediately paid attention. When he looked closely, an arrow had already shot through the air, heading straight towards Xiong Pi who didn't know that a disaster was coming. He didn't care.
Thinking too much, Li Luhu jumped at Xiong Pi and pushed him roughly down the mountain road. The two of them were hit by stones and hurt, and their hands and faces were suddenly scratched in several places by thorn branches. This move not only saved Xiong Pi
, also saved himself, a few feather arrows also flew past the position where he was standing just now, and missed the target.
"Ignore you..." Xiong Pi was confused for a moment and cursed.
"The enemy is attacking!" Li Luhu ignored the nonsense and threw away the machete in accordance with the order - "When attacked, lie down immediately, and then use your gun to fight back quickly! Don't count on the machete in your hand. The bayonet of the leading soldier must be good, and the bayonet must be good.
Much easier to use than a machete!" The instructor's roar back then has now become their instinct. The two of them leveled their rifles, fired two shots in the direction of the arrows, and then shot towards them without looking back.
He fled. Xiong Pi's shot missed. Li Luhu had been observing the dense forest just now. His roughly aimed shot seemed to have hit the chasing regiment. The clear gunshot echoed in the forest.
"Ah! Ah!" Li Junjun, who was hit in the torso, threw himself to the ground and screamed in pain. The Mini bullet tore his right arm, almost leaving the part below the elbow bloody. How could Shao Laosan care about a few?
Tuan Ding's life and death, he remembered to catch the thief, and did not stop to rescue him. He gritted his teeth and continued to chase with the waist knife. At his shout, several Tuan Yong also rushed out of the woods, trying to save these two
The alert spies caught them back. They were less than thirty meters away from Xiong Pi and the two, and Wei Ze, who was rushing at the front, was almost within reach of the two spies. He jumped up and slashed at Li Luhu with his knife.
.
Li Luhu felt a cool breeze coming from the back of his head. He had no time to turn around. He rolled to the left to avoid the powerful and heavy blow. However, he used too much force and his left foot was knocked off him.
It started to hurt. Wei Ze, who came later, saw the opportunity and raised his sword and struck again. Li Luhu tried to pull out the rifle underneath him to fight, but he couldn't. Beads of sweat as big as soybeans fell from his head.
He rolled down. The enemy was already very close to him. He clearly saw the ferocious face of the enemy who was wearing a torn jacket and a bamboo hat. He could smell the bad breath coming out of his mouth.
"Kill!" A bloody three-edged bayonet suddenly appeared from the enemy's chest. In a beautiful step and thrust, Xiong Pi's spear stabbed from behind and came out, Wei Ze's face showed surprise.
With a look of reluctance, Xiong Pi jerked the bayonet and pulled it out. A bloody arrow chased the weapon and spurted out, splashing all over Xiong Pi. The enemy's corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"What are you still waiting for? Run!" Xiong Pi stretched out his hand to pull up Li Luhu. At this time, Li Luhu couldn't care less about the pain. He picked up the rifle as a walking stick and limped back, but
With this delay, the enemy behind them pursued him more and more closely, and they were about to catch up. Shao Laosan's weird roar in vernacular filled the air.
Li Luhu gritted his teeth, threw the rifle behind him, and took out a grenade from his arms. At this time, although the grenade made by Lingao was still filled with black powder, it had been replaced by compressed black powder, which was several times more powerful and also equipped with
After pulling the fire tube, there was no need to light it anymore. Li Luhu poked open the moisture-proof layer made of oil paper, grabbed the cork and pulled hard, the fuse immediately sizzled, and he threw the grenade towards the pursuers behind him, and then
As soon as Xiong Pi was pulled, the two fell to the ground.
"boom!"
Two hundred meters away, Li Gangsheng's 3rd platoon had stopped advancing. Whether it was gunshots or shouts of killing, it had already indicated that the leading soldiers dispatched had been attacked by the enemy. Now, what should be done is to prepare for battle immediately. Li Gangsheng's brain was spinning rapidly.
.
For marching troops, it is very important to send out how many vanguards and in which direction. For the Ming Army, they will only send out patrols if they have more than 100 troops. The Fubo Army stipulates that the minimum organization for sending out vanguards is an infantryman.
To be precise, when the squad is in a marching state where the enemy's situation is unknown, even a ten-man infantry squad will send out leading soldiers to move in front of the team, and when searching and attacking, they are even more particular. He still remembers when he
The company commander, an experienced veteran officer who had participated in the Qiongbei security war many times, told them:
"Whenever troops are ambushed, most of them take the road down the mountain to save effort. In the final analysis, they are beaten because of laziness; but my officers and soldiers walked along the ridge, always maintaining a condescending posture.
There are sharp soldiers patrolling, and battalions, companies, and squads are lined up step by step, just like a huge position is being set in motion. No matter how complex the terrain is or how urgent the situation is, the formation is always stable and ready to fight at any time, and it is to find the enemy to fight.
Is there any reason for being ambushed? During the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Di was defeated at Jieting Mountain. It was because there was no water in the mountains in Hanzhong, while the springs in the mountains in Hainan were tinkling and the scenery was so beautiful!"
There were no ridges to walk on in this small hilly area. If they simply wanted to march quickly, they could have taken the flat road in the valley. However, he stubbornly chose to take the mountain road. Sure enough, there was really an enemy waiting for him in front. He won the prize! He
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone is here, bayonets on!" he gave the first order.
Thirty-four soldiers, together with himself, took out a triangular bayonet from their waist and put it under the muzzle of the rifle. At present, the steel produced in Lingao was not able to mass-produce high-quality dagger-type bayonets.
At the same time, compared with the spears and various armors commonly used by the Ming army and Jiannu, the short sword bayonet is unsatisfactory in terms of lethality and length. Therefore, the standard bayonet of the Fubo Army refers to the British army in the 18th century.
The French army has a sleeve-type triangular spear bayonet with a bayonet length of 500 mm. It can easily penetrate even the cotton armor of the Jiannu slaves and the thick leather armor of the Ming army.
Ye Canming, a soldier of the Fubo Army, took out the bayonet from the bayonet sheath on his waist, put the sleeve under the muzzle of the gun, and shook it left and right - the sleeve was very strong. The robes on the left and right were all doing the same movement, looking at the scene.
The cold light of the bayonet made him feel refreshed, and a murderous aura rose in the formation. He had a premonition that today's bayonet would not be in vain, and his bayonet would definitely be stained with the blood of the enemy.
Ye Canming is a precious "local". A few years ago, his hometown was hit by a disaster, the harvest was not good, and his family had trouble and he borrowed money. The creditor took over the house at a compound interest rate, and even his sister had to be dragged away to pay off the debt.
Seeing that his family was about to be destroyed, he fled with his whole family to Lingao. Zhaoqing Prefecture is located in a mountainous area, and the land is much poorer than that in the Pearl River Basin. There are already many locals who have joined the army to feed themselves.
He went to a foreign country - not to mention he was trying to avoid debts.
Before the Guangdong attack, soldiers with Guangdong origin were treated as treasures and evenly dispersed into various combat units after some training. In addition to infantry skills, they generally also had to learn some battlefield rescue, and were also given some medicine, alcohol,
Bandages and other things can serve as assistants to army health workers, and can also be used to fight at the grassroots level to win people's hearts. Australians call this "doing mass work."
The two men stumbling in front were running towards them. Ye Canming could see clearly that they were the two top soldiers they sent out in the morning. One was running in front, and the other was limping slightly behind. He didn't know whether he injured his leg or sprained his foot.
The leading soldier running in front - he must be Lao Li from Nanzhili - threw a grenade with his backhand, and there was a bang. The pursuers on the opposite side were unable to dodge and injured several of them. One of them was lying on his back on the ground.
Ye Can shouted loudly, as if he were killing a pig, and he must have been seriously injured. Ye Canming secretly praised this beautiful move, but there was another shout in the distance, and a large number of enemy soldiers suddenly emerged from the depths of the jungle and rushed toward them.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, Mr. Yang Qian knew that something bad was going on. Shao Laosan had missed! The Kun thief brigade must have known that there was an ambush ahead. Fortunately, the Kun thief didn't know how many of them there were, so it was still too late to rush out now -
At least you can catch him off guard.
"Uncle, the thief Kun has noticed it. If we miss the opportunity, we won't come again. Let's go up! Please lead the rear team and follow my nephew!" Mr. Yang Qian made a decision immediately and shouted: "Brothers, come up here!"
With two hundred people, he rushed out of the forest and carried the precious squatting tiger cannon. The gunners set up the squatting tiger cannon. Yang Jiao took a rough aim and then stretched the match rope to twist the cannon.
