march to victory

"Shh~! Shhh~! Shhh..."

As a veteran, I am very familiar with the piercing sound of this kind of shell piercing the air.

Almost at the moment when he heard this voice, Qi Zixuan subconsciously shouted: "Bombardment! Get down!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The ground trembled, the sound of explosions was endless, and clouds of black smoke rose magically amidst the sound of explosions.The whole mountain was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, with bombed potholes everywhere, broken trees, thick smoke billowing, and a sultry atmosphere.There seemed to be no abnormal sound in the world except for the sound of passing through and exploding shells.

3 minutes!For a full 3 minutes, the enemy’s shells seemed to be inexhaustible, and they fell on this mountain non-stop for a moment-the interesting thing is here, the enemy seems to believe that there is no Red Army on the mountain next to it, or the enemy wants to concentrate their firepower to attack first Going down this hill, therefore, except for one or two shells occasionally falling on the next hill, there is no focus on 'care' at all.

Fortunately, the soldiers are all veterans and know how to avoid shells, and they have already dispersed, and they are behind the mountain, and in the forest. To be honest, if the enemy uses heavy artillery, it will still be effective, but the shells of this small steel cannon , It seems like a lot, but in fact the damage caused is really very small.According to statistics afterwards, only one of the three platoons of the Assault Company was injured in this bombardment: this unlucky guy was unlucky, and his butt was scratched by shrapnel, which made him very angry—not angry because of the injury, the point is, the butt was injured, This is so embarrassing.As for the guerrilla brigade, two people were killed and seven were injured—although Lao Guo gave thousands of instructions beforehand, and he personally inspected them one by one, most of the members of the guerrilla brigade were inexperienced recruits. Agreed, no matter how prepared each of them was in advance, it was the first time they had personally experienced the intensive artillery bombardment, and they were much more nervous than the veterans.Take the two sacrificed team members as an example. A shell exploded six or seven meters away from a guerrilla. He lay on his stomach and escaped the flying shrapnel, but this guy was so frightened by the explosion that his mind went blank. , In addition to fear or fear, people's survival instinct makes him feel that he must escape from this place immediately.He jumped up, bared his teeth and claws, yelled like crazy, and ran directly down the mountain.His running had a joint effect. The comrade beside him, who was also extremely nervous, was in a state of desperation but was extremely terrified. Seeing him shoot, he also subconsciously ran. As a result, a shell fell on both sides. Among the people... Among the injured people, two of them also wanted to run. Fortunately, the comrades beside them had quick eyesight and quick hands, so they rushed over and pinned them down tightly. Just like this, three of them People get hurt too.It is conceivable that without the timely rescue of these two comrades-in-arms, most of them would have died under the shells.

"Captain..."

The sound of the shells was too loud, and the eardrums hurt from the shock, and the shouts of the comrades around him could not be heard clearly.Qi Zixuan had no choice but to crawl over quickly, leaning into the other's ear and shouting: "What do you want to say?"

The other party rushed to Qi Zixuan's ear and shouted similarly: "Company commander, I mean, it's been so long, why are the enemy's shells increasing instead of decreasing? How many shells did these stupid enemies carry?" up the mountain?"

"I don't know, just wait, anyway, the enemy's shells will run out anyway." After shouting, Qi Zixuan was stunned, and a doubt in his heart was solved: I said that since I repelled the enemy's pathfinder , Why did I wait for so long without seeing a single hair from the enemy? Now I understand that the enemy must have transported a lot of shells, so there was a delay... Roughly judged, the enemy has more than six small steel cannons firing, and the bombardment is full 3 minutes, you know, this is a small steel gun, not a heavy gun that needs to be loaded, but just put the shells on the muzzle, the rate of fire is super fast, and the shells fired in 3 minutes have a base.Then, another question arises. The enemy's shells were originally prepared for Niulanba. Now, why are they being consumed here?Don't say mentally retarded things like the enemy's shells are sufficient.You know, this is flat land, but a mountain path, how much can be carried by manpower or mules and horses?Moreover, since it is a sneak attack, the key lies in the word 'steal', and a certain marching speed must be maintained.As soon as the fight started on the main road, the enemy's pathfinder stones would soon appear on the Sanchakou side. It can be imagined that the enemy's pre-war plan was very good.So, why are they spending these shells that were so hard to carry here now?

"Platoon leader, the enemy is coming up."

Just as Qi Zixuan was pondering this question, the sound of the explosion gradually died down.Hearing the shouts of the soldiers observing the enemy's situation in front of the mountain top, Qi Zixuan seemed to have just come back to his senses, and actually looked up and looked around. Seeing that the explosion sound was much less, he knew it was the turn of the enemy's infantry to attack.Immediately got up, shouted "comrades, prepare to fight", and was the first to rush to the front of the mountain.

At first glance, Qi Zixuan was really shocked, angry and a little dumbfounded: the commander who can be sent to lead a sneak attack is not only bold and careful, but also impossible to be a fool.Because of the role of the pathfinding stone, the enemy commander obviously saw the deployment on these two mountains at a glance, and immediately made adjustments—Qi Zixuan guessed that the enemy hadn't attacked for a long time, and concentrated firepower on him as soon as he came up. The reason for this mountain is that the enemy is concentrating shells for use.But he only guessed half right. More importantly, the enemy needs to adjust the direction of attack during this period of time.Therefore, the first thing Qi Zixuan saw was that on the halfway up the mountain facing him, there was a group of figures flickering by the boss, and a few shells were fired from time to time, shooting towards the defense of the guerrilla brigade on the left side of the mountain where he was.At the same time, a company of enemies is rushing towards the hill from the left - in this way, the enemy only needs to face the guerrilla brigade on the left, thereby avoiding the risk of being flanked by two sides, which can be said to reduce losses. to the bottom.And this is exactly the reason why Qi Zixuan was shocked and angry. He felt that the enemy commander was too clever, and he made a judgment almost instantly, as if he had found the weakest point in the Red Army's defense line all at once, and made bold adjustments. The offensive route turned Qi Zixuan's deployment into a decoration instead.

And what made Qi Zixuan a little dumbfounded was: the left side of the hill was originally a flank, which was relatively safe.I originally came here to seize the main position, and the guerrilla brigade just came to experience the baptism of war.As a result, until now, the main position is our own, but because the enemy changed the main attack direction to our flank, our primary and secondary positions were reversed, and the main position became the flank.There is really a sense of absurdity that wherever the guerrilla brigade is destined to go, there will be the main battlefield.

However, now is not the time to express his emotions, Qi Zixuan immediately turned around and told a soldier beside him: "Tell the company commander about the situation immediately, and ask him to lead everyone to support the comrades of the guerrilla brigade defending on the left. Here we are Three rows of men are enough to defend."

As soon as Zhang Qingshan heard the gunshot due to a fire accident, he was startled. He felt that something unexpected must have happened, so he began to assemble the team.Then, he led the team to the halfway up the mountain, and saw that the top of the mountain was so quiet that not even a bird was flying, and whether Qi Zixuan had sent someone to report, he felt a little strange, thought about it, and led the team to rest on the spot.

Soon, dense explosions were heard.Fortunately, they were still some distance away from the top of the mountain, and the enemy's gunners were not for nothing. Under normal circumstances, the shooting range would not deviate so far, making Zhang Qingshan and the others become spectators, but they were faintly worried.

As soon as the shelling ended, Zhang Qingshan immediately led his men to sprint to the top of the mountain with all their strength.Before reaching the top of the mountain, he met the person Qi Zixuan sent to report.After hearing this situation, Zhang Qingshan didn't say anything, but after being silent for a while, he led the team to reinforce the guerrilla brigade.

……

"Don't shoot, don't shoot at all, obey my orders, bring the enemy closer before hitting!"

"Later, aim and shoot, save bullets..."

"All the grenades are ready, the cover is opened, and the enemy rushes to the vicinity before blowing them up with the grenade..."

Lao Guo kept giving orders, almost yelling out everything he could think of.Because he knows that the more he yells, not only can these novices learn more, but more importantly, they can increase their confidence.

For the time being, he completely replaced Niu Yingwu and became the interim supreme commander of the guerrilla brigade.Fortunately, he has rich experience, leads people with enthusiasm and sincerity, and previously carefully instructed the soldiers one by one to avoid the shelling. Therefore, seeing that Niu Yingwu did not speak, the team members naturally obeyed the order.

And because of the previous "fire escape" incident, this time, the team members were all concerned. Under the guidance of Lao Guo, they all knew to put the right index finger that was going to pull the trigger on the gun god outside the trigger. It can avoid accidentally pulling the trigger and misfire.

Old Guo opened his eyes wide, thinking silently, and waited until the enemy was less than 50 meters away from this line of defense before shouting: "Fight!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

As soon as the voice fell, the gunshots rose.

Seven or eight of the enemies fell down immediately, and the other enemies also fell down immediately, and began to fight back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

"Da da da……"

"Boom! Boo! Boo..."

The enemy has hundreds of people, and the guerrilla brigade has only about seventy people; no matter how the enemy is, it is a regular army, and its training and weapons are definitely better than that of the guerrilla brigade; Therefore, from the comparison of various factors on both sides, it is impossible for the enemy to break through the defense of the guerrilla brigade at once.

But the thing is, the enemy's weaponry greatly increases their victory factor.Not only are they covered by artillery fire, but more importantly, they have machine guns, one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns. Even the rifles of the guerrilla brigade were fired by the main force just now. Being suppressed by the enemy's firepower... It can be imagined that the enemy's equipment was originally used to sneak attack the main force of the Red Army in Niulanba. If there is a sudden attack, this kind of equipment, and the fact that Niulanba is not big, is really possible It caused great trouble to the Red Army.But now, why are they using it here?Moreover, judging from his posture, it seems that he desperately wants to go down the mountain, why is this?
