Bandits from several places had gathered together. Starting in the morning, small groups of bandits tried to enter Molin. However, seeing that the officers and soldiers were already heavily guarded, they gave up the idea.
With the arrival of the "main force" of bandits, the battle is about to break out.
The soldiers of the new army were obviously nervous, and the dark area on the opposite side was full of bandits. For the recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time, this kind of mental pressure was undoubtedly huge.
Dozens of bandits appeared. Xie Shuixiang knew very well that this was a probing attack. They said that the big bandit leader Lu Baoyin had eaten military rations, and his fighting style was very different from other bandits who had no rules.
It turned out to be the case at first sight.
"Reload!"
Bulk black powder was filled in.
"Aim...ignite!"
When Xie Shuixiang issued such an order, he felt a little ridiculous. How long has it been since? New armies across the country have been equipped with new weapons, such as Martini guns, sharp guns, and Norden flying multi-barreled machine guns.
Yes, but what about the troops under command now? What kind of weapon is this? It actually fires it with a match rope?
There was a row of loud "boom, boom" sounds, huge and lively. After the smoke passed, a row of bandits fell to the ground.
As soon as the New Army soldiers cheered, they saw the bandits who had fallen on the ground getting up one by one. None of them were dead or injured, and they turned around and ran away.
Xie Shuixiang was furious. After such a loud volley of guns, the bandits didn't even get any skin damage.
But there is really no way. The time from aiming to ignition to launching is too long. I could have prepared for the opponent earlier. In addition, the shooting accuracy of raising the gun is really poor. This is the first time for the soldiers to fight in actual combat.
It is inevitable to be nervous, and it is understandable that the first shot was not successful.
"Get on the second row!"
Seeing that although the first burst of gunfire did not kill the bandits, they "beat them away", the soldiers also gained confidence, and the second platoon quickly pulled up.
The bandits on the other side were not having a good time either.
The firing of the officers and soldiers was truly "earth-shaking". Although the bandits were not killed or injured, they were really frightened.
"That's an old-fashioned gun, it can only be used to scare people!" Lu Baoyin said with a livid face: "Ding Huzi, Jiao Sanpao, bring your people up!"
Seeing that Ding Huzi and Jiao Sanpao were somewhat shrinking, Lu Baoyin raised his voice: "The first one to rush in, I will reward him with a hundred taels of silver!"
"Brothers, follow me!" Ding Huzi plucked up the courage: "Come in and chop off their heads!"
The bandits cheered up and charged forward again in a chaotic manner.
There was loud gunfire from both sides for a while. In comparison, the bandits' weapons had the upper hand. Fortunately, although the new army did not train for a long time, they were slightly stronger than the bandits after all. In addition, the bandits had the advantage of the terrain.
After a while, the gap couldn't be opened.
On the other side, eight people including Wang Hengyue were waiting quietly.
"Ding Huzi's men have been shot down." Liu Sihai, who was responsible for the observation, stared at the battlefield: "Jiao Sanpao has also been shot down... Okay, a bandit has been killed! The brothers are cheering.
.....”
"Finally, we've started killing people." Wang Hengyue muttered. He was probably the first person killed after the formation of the first team: "Remember to report the person's name after the beating, I will give him credit!"
"Old Mrs. Hou's people are here... No, one of us died and another was injured... Good, one of the bandits was also injured!"
"Where are Lu Baoyin's people?"
"It hasn't moved yet...wait, wait...Lu Baoyin is up, up!"
Wang Hengyue pulled out two guns with a shout: "Get ready!"
Behind him, Martinis, Senais, and sharp guns were all raised. Old Kleiman carefully checked the revolver in his hand, with an expression of eagerness to try.
"All the bandits are on the move. Platoon Commander Xie led his men to withdraw to the second line of defense! The bandits are pressing up."
"It's my turn to do it!"
Wang Hengyue stood up suddenly: "Come on!"
Eight people came out of the hiding place, holding guns, and quietly pressed forward.
Lu Baoyin had made a desperate move, and most of the troops in his hand had been sent out, leaving only about twenty people around him.
Wang Hengyue licked his lips, held the two guns in his hands tightly, and glanced back. His brothers were all ready.
"beat!"
Wang Hengyue roared, stood up first, and fired two guns at the same time!
"Fight!"
The seven brothers beside him stood up together, their weapons roaring at the same time.
The bandits who were caught off guard were killed in a few seconds, causing chaos.
Never expecting that an enemy would suddenly appear behind him, Lu Baoyin was shocked and fell down with the remaining bandits.
Lu Baoyin knew that he was ambushed and that his life and death were at stake. His gangster instincts came out: "Brothers, let's fight. Kill one of them. I'll give you two hundred taels of silver. I'll give you all you have!"
With that said, he fired the first shot.
Stimulated by the money, the gangsters cheered up and fired more than a dozen guns at once with great fanfare.
"Hold it! Hold it!" Wang Hengyue yelled repeatedly, and the two guns roared again.
But at this time, the shortcomings of using two Colt revolvers at the same time were exposed. When the Colt revolver is fired, the hammer needs to be moved to the standby position, and then the trigger can be pulled to achieve firing.
It was inconvenient for Wang Hengyue to use it, so he simply put away one gun and emptied all the bullets in the other gun in one go.
Taking advantage of the time to reload, Wang Hengyue gasped a few times: "Li Yifeng, Xu Mu, Deng Xia, hold down the front! Liu Sihai, Ma Xiao, hold down the left! Peter, Kleiman, and I will pass from the right together! Hold down, definitely
Suppress it!"
The Martini and Schneider guns fired at the same time, and bullets continued to spray from the muzzles. The bandits were unable to raise their heads for a while.
Pete put down the sharp gun in his hand and took the Colt revolver thrown by Wang Hengyue, his confidence greatly increased.
"Hold it, you must hold it!" Wang Hengyue yelled again, leading Peter and Clayman to quickly move to the right side while the bandits were being suppressed.
Lu Baoyin and his men were unable to raise their heads after being hit by bullets fired one after another. They were anxious and angry. They only thought about how to escape and join the large army. They did not notice the enemy appearing on their right.
The three revolvers were fully loaded with bullets. Wang Hengyue glanced at Peter and Clayman, and they both nodded to him at the same time.
Wang Hengyue took a deep breath, raised his left hand, waited for a moment, and suddenly waved it downward:
"Lu Baoyin, you bitch, your Lord Wang Hengyue is here!"
