under fire

Chapter 357 Back to the Carbine

The panicked security team quickly ran out of the village for more than two miles.

"Deputy Commander, something is wrong. There seems to be no one outside the village!" While running, a company commander listened carefully to the surrounding darkness, and there was nothing unusual about the calls of summer insects coming from all around in the darkness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly hit by someone coming up from behind, and fell down into the ditch by the side of the road with a thump, got up from the ditch angrily, and kicked the thing that hit him into the ditch.

Noticing that the team stopped in a mess, he hurried to the side of the deputy commander: "Commander, I think we are too careful, there may be no one outside the village!"

The deputy commander turned around, a little embarrassed, busy running all the time, and didn't even make arrangements for the vanguard. When he heard what the company commander said, he waved his hand with doubts: "What are you still doing in a daze? Arrange people to go outside the village to have a look. Don't hit it. Empty city plan!"

As soon as they heard that there was no one, the scouts immediately shrank their necks and spread their legs, turned around and searched for the familiar places outside the village where people could hide.

After a while, several scouting soldiers all ran back: "Commander, there is not even a ghost outside the village!"

The commander was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at the cottage from the side of the roadside ridge, only to find that the muzzle flash and gunshots on the cottage had long since disappeared.

The current situation is a bit embarrassing, and everyone understands that this time most of them are scaring themselves. The commander came back and ordered again: "Immediately send someone back to the village to see the situation."

At this time, no matter how timid people are, they will understand that the village should be fine, but they dare not say anything about the situation in the cottage.

Not long after, a few more came back from the village, and some of them were the security regiment soldiers sent to the foot of the mountain earlier, and squeezed to the commander's side: "Commander, after we passed by, we found that the brother on duty was killed. One, but don't worry, we brought down a person who occupied the sentry position, and the other ran up the mountain. We also rescued a brother. According to him, a group of unknown people came to the foot of the mountain after dark, okay There are more than 30 elephants, and they went directly to the cottage!"

The commander was shocked: "Ah? There are more than 30 people? They went to the cottage, where did they come from?"

"Hey, that person was killed. We didn't really understand it. We have arranged for two brothers to chase up the mountain to find out the situation. They will probably come back in a while."

The deputy commander hesitated for a moment: "Have you found anyone else at the foot of the mountain?"

"No, except for those mud-legged people in the village, I haven't even seen a ghost."

The deputy commander was determined: "It seems that someone is planning to attack our cottage. Hmph, see if I don't kill him, I have everything. Immediately go to the cottage and kill him back."

Hearing this, the crowd immediately became angry, full of confidence, and turned around and headed towards the cottage.

The commander ignored the good friend, raised his hand and pointed at the distant cottage, and said loudly to his subordinates who were marching: "I heard you clearly, there are only about thirty of them, listen to me, whoever builds the cottage first will be rewarded." Ten yuan for Dayang! Two yuan for each of the other brothers."

Boosting the morale of the security regiment is a simple matter. Just like fighting and charging, giving money is the best way.

Ten oceans?That's a lot of money. For the bandits who may not be able to get the military salary of two yuan a month, almost half a year's military salary, under the heavy reward, there will naturally be stunned and worthless goods rushing to fight for their lives .

Scouting terrain?Isn't that just my old den, and I'm still doing scouting. As for the situation of the other party's personnel and troops, the brother who just came back made it clear, so what are you waiting for?
The tense feeling of the team disappeared, the bold ones speeded up, the timid ones followed tremblingly, and ran back in a long and dark line. Finally, some smart people collected dead branches and hay, and lit torches.

The flashlight also came in handy again.

There were so many people and the crowd was chaotic. The deputy commander finally calmed down and began to analyze what happened that night.

As for how capable he is, he himself does not believe it. In the past, in the team, most capable brothers died for the country when they fought desperately with little devils. He, who can run faster than anyone else, never Survived on the battlefield by luck.

Just being a soldier, his quality is naturally much better than that of the trash under his command. At least he has seen big scenes. Compared with a single soldier, there are really few people who can match him, because he crawled out of the dead. , more ruthless and cruel than others.

As for commanding and fighting, I have seen it a lot on the battlefield. Isn't it just that the officials shout at the back, and the soldiers charge forward, and then set up an echelon, the reserve team or something, playing with two wings?

Bah, there are only two roads up the mountain in this cottage, and the latter road takes more than half an hour to run. It's so far away, and it's a fart to outflank it, just give up.

A group of security groups ran back in a mess, passed by the village, and some of them left something when they escaped, and went back again to pick up the things they thought were valuable, and went north out of the village, swarming into a formation of different thicknesses Fast forward to the cottage.

Eager for money, some people were squeezed into the roadside ditch from time to time, and when they reached the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, they glanced at the brother who died by the fire.

"County magistrate, captain, there are people coming up from the mountain." The scout remained vigilant and took the person who had escaped from the mountain to a room in the cottage.

"What's the situation?" Yang Deshi and Captain Liu went out and stood on the edge of the cliff together, looking at the long line of torches down the mountain.

"Could it be that the bandits who went to the enemy-occupied area are back?" Captain Liu was startled.

"Looking at the number of torches they lit, I'm afraid there may be hundreds of them?" The scout carefully counted the torches.

"Hundreds? No matter how many there are, they are bandits. What are you afraid of? Prepare to fight immediately!" Yang Deshi sternly said.

"But we don't have a mass base. Even if we take down the stronghold, we can't take over the mountain and become king, right?" Captain Liu finally said what was in his heart.

"As long as you have this point, you can start work, beat the local tyrants and divide the land, and you can look at me for mass work." County Magistrate Yang said proudly.

"But, what about those prisoners?" The deputy captain was a little helpless.

At this moment, Yang Deshi hesitated. He did not expect to catch more than 50 prisoners on the mountain. Too many prisoners is also a problem.

Fortunately, forty or fifty bandits jumped directly from the cliff and ran away!
"Let the soldiers be guarded first! Prepare to fight." County Magistrate Yang once again deprived Captain Liu of his command.

It is not easy to attack the cottage from the bottom up, but it is not a big problem to jump down from the cliff of the cottage. There will be no major incidents on the fallen branches, and it is even more impossible to roll directly down the mountain.

The bandits usually do nothing most of the time, and they have already familiarized themselves with the surrounding terrain. Not long after the battle started, half of the bandits jumped off the cliff and ran away under the eyes of everyone in the district team, and many were killed when they escaped. Sixteen, more than a dozen injured.

Many wounded who jumped off the cliff were still groaning and screaming in the dark, which disturbed the people in the village.

The soldiers ignored it, since they couldn't get up anyway, they started to move around horizontally to find a shooting position.

After a while, the soldiers lay on the edge of the cliff one by one, condescending to prepare for battle, and kept aiming at the false enemy position in the dark.

A fire was lit on the flat ground below, illuminating the whole flat ground brightly.

There are only more than 40 people in the district team in the cottage, and some people are assigned to guard the prisoners, which is obviously insufficient.

Everyone in the security team advanced extremely fast. For ten oceans, in less than half an hour, they rushed to Xiaoping underground under the cottage.

Seeing that a fire was lit on the flat ground, the two people at the front saw that the situation was not good, and they would be targets if they went any further, so they stopped quickly.

The unknown situation behind is still embracing forward.

The two stood unsteadily and stepped forward.

Gunshots rang out on the cliff at the right time, and the bullets whizzed past. One bullet penetrated into the chest, and the other pierced through the armpit of the person in front, and opened the head of the person behind, making the face of the person behind him muddy.

The person behind stuck out his tongue and licked it habitually, it was hot and salty.

The first thought in the surviving guy's mind was to hide, but he had nowhere to hide in the panic. He gritted his teeth and jumped off the cliff next to him. He already knew that there was a gentle slope below.

Greeted by countless shrubs, I felt as if nothing was wrong, and I was relieved that ten yuan was gone when it was gone. Only then did I feel that life was more important.

I don't bother to care if they can beat the cottage, the two oceans are definitely in hand.

The rest of them leaned aside and disappeared from the flames.

Yang Deshi was very excited. He was the one who shot the bullet that hit the chest.

A bandit is a bandit, as long as the trail up the mountain is blocked, they will be able to climb it.

The commander at the back watched the team stop, and ordered angrily to the front while leaning on the rocks on the cliff: "What are you doing stopping there? Go to another place and go to flat ground!"

The generals just remembered that it was not easy to go up to the mountain stronghold, but it was not difficult to climb to the flat ground below the mountain stronghold.

One boldly pulled out his rifle and shot it on the cottage, drawing a burst of bullets in retaliation.

The guy who retracted his head kicked the guy next to him who was leaning on the roadside mountain wall: "Hey, you are stupid, back up quickly and climb up from there."

Unexpectedly, the guy with a red and white paste on his face yelled, took a step forward, and jumped off the cliff.

Two screams came from under the cliff, and everyone was stunned.
