Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2163

A round of volleys from the riflemen in the front stunned the bandits down the mountain, and no one expected that a team would come out from behind.When the crowd was in a mess, a round of grenades flew into the crowd, thick smoke billowed up, and the bandit team that had just arrived to reinforce the village entrance was bombed to pieces.

The right detachment rushing down from the mountain took advantage of the power of this thunderbolt to penetrate the bandit's position in an instant, and the follow-up troops swept the bandit team like a wave.The sound of killing, yelling, and wailing, accompanied by the clashing of knives and guns, filled the entire valley.

Li Dong didn't care to pay attention to the integrity of the team anymore, he knew that at this moment only by setting an example can the recruits' courage be aroused, he roared and waved his command knife to be the first to charge towards the defeated enemy.

The enemies behind the artillery barracks were in a mess, some turned their heads and ran away, and some waved their knives and guns and shouted wildly. Li Dong rushed to a bandit—this man was holding a big knife, and seemed to be stupefied. Li Dong rushed in front of him and seemed to remember something, raised his knife and was about to stab him.

Li Dong swung his head at an angle and slashed down with his knife—although the command knife is for etiquette, the machine-made knife made of tool steel is comparable to the best war knife in this time and space in terms of toughness, strength, and wear resistance.The little bandit was instantly cut open with a long cut between his shoulder and neck, and the blood in the artery spurted out.

"Grandma..." The little bandit uttered a miserable scream, and fell down at his feet. The voice was sharp and clear, like a woman, and Li Dong shivered in fright.

However, at this moment, he had no time to care about who the other party was. He waved the knife and raised his arms backwards: "Come on, brothers!"

When he roared with the knife, the morale of the soldiers behind him increased greatly, and they rushed forward with roars.

Yang Erdong was born as a family member and had experience in hand-to-hand combat. He was calmer than the "first brother" who was trembling with a spear by his side. With the spear in his hand, he dashed forward and stabbed randomly all the way. When he was invincible, he rushed into the artillery barracks in an instant. A firearmsman inside had already picked up the bird gun and aimed towards this side. He quickly roared and put the spear It was thrown violently, piercing the enemy to the ground.

At this moment, he had already pulled out his machete and chopped up a big bandit who was fighting with his comrades with his back facing him. Then he saw that there were already piles of corpses in the artillery barracks, and the gunpowder smoke came straight into his nostrils along with the smell of blood.There were a few recruits poked in the corpse, each of them pale and dazed.

"Don't stand still, rush out and kill the enemy!" Yang Erdong yelled, turned over and jumped out of the artillery barracks, but he never thought that there was a pile of rocks underneath, and he couldn't stand upright when he jumped down. Su, tried to get up again, but found that his left foot was in severe pain, and he couldn't use any strength.

"X your old mother..." Yang Erdong Biao uttered a local swear word, and quickly dragged his body to crawl under the wall where the base ran, and sat against the wall - lying on the ground would most likely be trampled by rebels, and his skin would peel off if he didn't die.

Commanding a small team, Luo Mao did not lead people into the artillery barracks, but directly rushed to the bandit team that had already formed a mess on the road to reinforce the village entrance.He lost his spear in the first thrust, and charged forward with a machete.

The bandits fell into chaos, but a few valiant fighters still fought to the death. Luo Mao saw a bandit with superb sword skills, hacking and killing two National Army soldiers in a row.Unexpectedly, the bandit was wearing armor, and Luo Mao's knife was bounced away.Luo Mao was quick-witted, and followed the rugby movement with his momentum unabated. He overturned his opponent with a shoulder bump like a cow, rolled over and pressed down on the opponent, and ended him with a knife in the neck.

With a surprise thunder strike from the right detachment, the defense of the village entrance was destroyed in a few minutes, and the bandits turned around and fled to the village entrance in the north of the village.

Seeing that the battlefield was under control, Li Dong hurried to the edge of the base run and blew the whistle that he had agreed with the left detachment.Within a few minutes, Zhu Si rushed in with the team.

"How about it?"

"The enemy fled towards the village entrance in the north!" Li Dong was still in awe, "We will chase them there and wipe them all out!"

"Okay! You immediately lead the team to wipe out the whole village, and I will lead the troops to pursue!"

Now that the enemy has fled to the north, Lieutenant Mi's plan has been largely completed. As long as the fleeing bandits escape from the village, they will fall into the encirclement of the Fubo Army led by Mi Longtao, with no way out.At this critical moment, it is natural to show some "heroism" in front of Mi Longtao and others.

"Yes!" Li Dong didn't have the twists and turns in his stomach. It happened that he had been marching and fighting all day today, and his flat feet hurt badly. If he didn't chase him, he was taking care of him. He immediately took orders to clear out the remaining bandits in the village.

Li Dong turned back to the artillery barracks, the soldiers of the right detachment had stopped fighting, and they were all out of breath—not so much tiredness, but a sense of release after extreme tension.

"Clear the battlefield! Pay attention to collecting weapons and treating the wounded!"

On the narrow road and beside the artillery barracks, there were more than 40 casualties of bandits scattered all over the place. Some of them were dead and some were still humming. The soldiers began to clean up the corpses.Some were so badly wounded that it was obvious that there was no way to save them, so they used daggers to make up for it.

After walking to the artillery barracks, he saw the small bandit he cut down first. He was lying prone on the ground. At this moment, Lipton and another soldier had turned the body over and were fumbling in the skirts of his clothes.

Because the raiders this time were bandits, they often carried looted property with them, so Mi Longtao ordered that no matter whether it was a prisoner or an abandoned corpse of the enemy, as long as time was not urgent, they should be searched, and their belongings would be confiscated and handed over to the public.

Like the other bandits, this bandit's face was smeared with pot ash or oil paint, making it black and blue—to scare people.At this moment, blood was sprayed on it again, making it look even more hideous.

The two soldiers tore open their skirts, and an extremely thin body was instantly exposed in the setting sun. Li Dong's heart moved, the bandit's arms were too thin!The hands are even more pitiful.

"Slow!" He called to the soldier who was about to lift the corpse, walked over quickly, looked at the body carefully, poured water from the kettle on the face of the corpse, wiped it with a rag, The stucco comes off instantly.A childish face was revealed below.

Li Dong's heart skipped a beat, the pale face distorted by fear in front of him really belonged to a boy, the oldest was no more than eleven or twelve years old.

Li Dong was born in a humble background. Before he came to Hainan, seven or eight-year-old children herded cattle, teenagers came out to do work, and five or six-year-old children stole things on the pier... He had seen them all, but he was in his teens. It was the first time I saw a child come out to be a bandit.

The two soldiers also sighed, and one said: "It's a crime for a person who hasn't grown any hair yet to become the Great Heavenly Second!"

"I don't know what happened to his parents..."

"It can still be like this, I'm dead. No one is in charge of the family, so why don't you go on evil paths? Who would come to do this from a good family!"

"Is there anything on you?"

"There's a string of money, five denarii, and in the bundle are two changes of clothes," said Lipton, "and a hair-pin—wooden."

Li Dong looked at the child who died under his hands, and felt panicked in his heart—not guilt.He is not as sentimental as the elders, pity the old and the poor.He was born in poverty, and he had seen all kinds of ugly and cruel things when he was struggling to survive at the bottom.What's more, on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and there is no room for mercy in the matter of life and death.

Picking up the hairpin, he remembered the "Grandma" he said when he was about to die. He probably thought of his mother at the moment when he was about to die. This worthless wooden hairpin is a memory.What kind of calamity did his family encounter, and how far did life force him, that he would paint his face with pot ash, pick up a sword not much shorter than his body, and run around everywhere, eating and drinking. Sleeping in the open, risking your life to become a bandit?

"Being a bandit at such a young age is definitely not a good person!" Another soldier said, "Probably he has also harmed many people! It can be regarded as more than worthy of death."

Li Dong shook his head: "He probably harmed the people, maybe even killed people. But it's not his fault..." At this point, he couldn't go on. He remembered when he was fleeing famine when he was a child, he saw it with his own eyes outside the porridge shed. Seeing the situation where a seven or eight-year-old child strangled a younger child to death for a bowl of porridge, "If I'm wrong, his parents shouldn't have born him in this hell on earth...give him the wooden hairpin and clothes Bury it with you - let him go to the underworld so he can find his mother."

After the corpses were cleaned up, the casualties of the national army also came out. Although the right detachment was in full swing, two people were killed and seven were injured in the scuffle.When the left team entered the village entrance, three people were killed and more than ten people were injured.

"Hurry up! The seriously wounded who have been bandaged should be transferred to Xu Gang first," Li Dong urged. Several of the wounded were seriously injured. If they couldn't be transferred to the field hospital in Fengchuan County as quickly as possible, they probably wouldn't survive. down.

More than a dozen captured bandits knelt on the ground, not daring to move.Some people inside were slightly injured. Li Dong told the health soldiers to bandage them up and wait for them to be evacuated together.

Yang Erdong was a little surprised, and asked: "It's polite enough not to kill them, and give them treatment?"

"What's the use of killing it? Can it be used as fertilizer?" The health soldier smiled. "After healed, he will work for the Senate! You're talking about others. Didn't you also serve as a member of the Ming army?"

Yang Erdong blushed, and argued forcefully, "I'm an officer... Ming army, this group of people are bandits!"

"Fart!" Someone scolded unceremoniously from behind, "Officers and soldiers are worse than fucking bandits!"

Yang Erdong was angry in his heart—it is a fact that the military discipline of the officers and soldiers is not very good, but he used to be a servant, he had enough food, paid for killing people, and never did things like raping prostitutes. How could he be willing to suffer this loss for nothing? .
