Age of Rebirth

Chapter 610 Attack Frustrated

Han Tie concentrated all the heavy artillery and violently bombarded Baodugu's first line of defense. The bunkers and dark forts that the bandits had worked so hard to operate for many years were bombed to pieces and submerged in the steel storm.

This move chilled the courage of the bandit leader Liu Motou. Like all bandits, he believed in the credo of "keep the green hills there, and don't worry about no firewood". The central army can stay in Baodugu for a long time. This place is not in front of the village or behind the store, and it is useless for the central army to occupy it. When these soldiers withdraw, with the gold and silver buried a team?

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. Why did the central army risk their lives to beat him? , Connecting it with the matter in front of him, he didn't understand, Wang Junshi, that is, the Communist Party agent, was like a mirror in his heart.

Liu Motou looked at his military adviser with a calm face, which was somewhat admirable. He had lost his mind, and Wang Junshi accurately grasped Liu Motou's heart. At this time, he must not be discouraged. The bandit leader came to a dead end and fought desperately with the Independent Division. Even if the entire army was annihilated, it would consume a lot of the Independent Division's strength and reduce resistance for the Imperial Army in North China. [

Wang Junshi sneered and said: "The master, just started the war, and the winner has not yet been decided. Why is the master not sure?" Master, do you know whose army is attacking our Baodugu?" Wang Junshi asked, Liu Motou looked bewildered.

"North China Independent Division Tang Qiuli's troops," Wang Junshi said word by word, Liu Motou jumped in shock, even if he didn't know a single word, he had heard of Tang Qiuli's name, it was so easy Let tens of thousands of people see the master of Hades, how did he get on his head?Liu Motou thought to himself that he couldn't afford to offend this person, and he was even more at a loss.

"Master, the business we did in the Grand Canyon was his troops. Think about it, we killed more than 1000 of his people and robbed so much gold and silver. Even if we ran to the end of the world, we would not Let us go!" Wang Junshi revealed the truth, Liu Motou secretly groaned in his heart, and complained in his mouth: "Military division, you have caused me a lot of trouble. I knew it was a unit of the North China Independent Division, so I would do nothing. This deal!"

Wang Junshi's face became even colder. He saw through the bandit leader's heart, and he simply let it go and said, "The master, based on the dangerous terrain of our Baodugu, let alone so many troops, even the independent divisions are all mobilized." Come here, there is nothing you can do, you are willing to work so hard for so many years? What kind of life will the team you pull up live like being hunted down, fleeing to the end of the world, and living in a settlement?"

These few words hit Liu Motou's vitals, his eyes flashed fiercely again, I still have a lot of capital, such a big family business, I can't throw it away for nothing, I have done things anyway, there is no medicine for regret Eat, but he really didn't have an idea in his mind, how to fight this battle, how to resist those cannons, Liu Motou was confused.

He simply handed over the command to Wang Junshi, and went to the back mountain to listen to the movement. Seeing Liu Motou's hurried back, Wang Junshi's mouth raised a smirk, and when he pouted, two bandits chased after Liu Motou's figure. In the past, he was obviously going to monitor Liu Motou. After going up the mountain for a few months, he used various means to cultivate many confidantes, and basically mastered most of Baodu Gu's strength.

Commander Wang issued an order that all the brothers in the first line of defense immediately retreat to the second line of defense, and use the terrain to defend to the death. The bandits who were blasted to pieces by the artillery fire and survived by luck, after receiving the order, seemed to have heard the gospel , Sa Yazi ran up the mountain, regardless of the battle formation, they didn't know how to do it, they were crowded together in a pile, this situation was discovered by the artillery observation post, and they quickly instructed the shooting coordinates.

The cannons came whistling, and the bandits, who were secretly thankful, saw that the second line of defense was in front of them, a few steps away, but they could never return to the place they thought was safe. A three-dimensional wall of fire, the bandits are corpses, torn apart by the flying pieces, and the fragments are mixed with gravel and thrown high.

The road ahead was blocked, the dazed bandits turned around and ran back, and behind them was a place of death caused by the explosion of cannons. The bandits trapped between the two lines of defense had no chance of surviving, and neither would the artillerymen of the independent division. Let them go, this time the shelling lasted for more than two hours, more than 1000 bandits were eliminated, and the infantry cheered to relieve their hatred.

Watching all this, Wang Junshi was so angry that his face was livid. These bandits have no military quality at all. Even if they are retreating, they don't have such a way to run. After a few words of love, a few confidantes around him were taken aback, and the military commander who dared to love could also speak birds, but seeing his death-like face, no one dared to speak up, and they all kept their doubts in their stomachs.

The shelling stopped, Han Tie ordered the troops to attack, and the soldiers occupied the first line of defense without any effort. They were surprised to find that many bunkers transformed from natural caves, such fierce shelling did not cause too much damage, basically Stay put, bandits inside, with guns, in shooting position.

Seeing that the soldiers got into the bunker without any reaction, the soldiers pulled it carefully. These bandits fell to the ground, bleeding from their orifices. It turned out that they were shocked to death. It can be seen that the shelling just now carried out a high density of firepower strikes , almost flattened the top of the mountain.

After occupying the first line of defense, the troops did not stop, and directly attacked the second line of defense. This time, they encountered fierce counterattacks, and all the light and heavy machine guns of the same color shot over like raindrops. On the narrow mountain road, the attack The troops huddled together and were attacking at the fastest speed.

The oncoming rain knocked down the soldiers. Han Tie, who was concentrating on observing the situation on the battlefield, immediately gave the order to stop the attack and retreat to the original place when he saw something was wrong. Even if he stopped the attack immediately, it would take only ten minutes. More than 300 soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and their bodies were scattered all over the mountain road.

The troops retreated like a tide, Han Tie's eyes were blazing, and he ordered the artillery to fire, and smashed the second line of defense of Baodugu with steel. As soon as they stopped, the troops rushed up again. This time, the effect was not achieved. The rain of counterattacks did not decrease at all, and the smoking grenades rolled down the ramp and exploded among the crowd.

In this attack, the troops suffered more casualties, followed by another burst of shelling. This time, Han Tie became cautious and only ordered a company of troops to make a tentative attack. As expected, after dozens of casualties in this company, he was killed. Forced to retreat, the smoke gradually dissipated, and Han Tie carefully observed the bandit positions in front with a telescope.

He finally saw clearly that Baodugu's second line of defense was on a cliff that was tens of meters high, with many shooting holes and an unknown number of stone steps along a gap between the cliffs. , stretching in a winding way, if you want to enter the mountain, you must walk this stone step, and you will be hit by firepower from both sides.The stone gap is extremely narrow, and only two people can pass sideways, which is really a deadly gate.

Han Tie was anxious. Liu Motou, the bandit leader, had worked hard in Baodugu, hollowed out the mountain and made it into a bunker. There is no way to threaten the bandits hiding in the artificially excavated caves. A strong attack will definitely not work. Even if more than 4 people are filled in, there is no way to advance half a step. The bandits can repel the troops with only stones attack.

The sun sets, and the evening glow reflects the main peak of Baodugu, where the gunpowder smoke has not cleared. Behind the dense pine forest, the main peak is shrouded in a mist. I don’t know what dangers are hidden behind the mist. Han Tie ordered the entire line to stop attacking. The troops must not relax, to prevent the bandits from breaking through, even though he knew that this was wishful thinking, he hoped that the bandits would break through, and the big net outside would be hit right. [

The choking smell of smoke is still lingering in the Hantie headquarters. At the just-concluded brigade-level military meeting, everyone was also concerned about this situation.After meeting for more than two hours, Han Tie was very restless after gaining nothing. Could it be that he is stuck here?Using more than [-] troops, one artillery brigade and several artillery regiments, they can't take down a bandit den Baodugu.

He walked out of the tent, and on the main peak of Baodugu in the distance, the lights were shining, and the faint laughter from the mountain stimulated his nerves even more, as if they were laughing at his failure. The bandits must be celebrating their victory and attacked One day, more than 1000 soldiers were killed or injured, tens of thousands of cannon shots were spent, and only one line of defense was taken down. As a result, Han Tie felt very useless, and his heart was filled with anger.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Han Tie turned his head, and saw that it was Chu Tian, ​​the captain of the Sixth Division of the Special Warfare Detachment, and he only got to know this young man during this battle. After Chu Tian saluted, he explained the purpose of his visit. It was a request for a combat mission. Regarding the fact that his unit did not open a channel for the main force to attack, Chu Tian felt very depressed and felt that he had not completed the mission.

He asked Commander Han's approval that his Sixth Squadron would dispatch overnight to avoid the front of Baodugu and find a way into the mountain from other directions. If possible, the Sixth Squadron would go deep into the bandit's nest, disrupt the bandit's position, and cooperate with the large army. , Take down the main peak of Baodugu.

Han Tie approved Chutian's request to let the special warfare unit six find another attack route for the troops. However, he disagreed with Chutian's suggestion to go deep into the bandit's nest and fight thousands of bandits with less than 200 troops. Moreover, the topography of the main peak was unfamiliar and the situation was unknown, so he couldn't let Chu Tian take this risk.

Han Tie knew that Qiuquan treated each of his soldiers like a treasure, and losing one was as painful as digging his flesh. Therefore, he sternly ordered Chutian to only be responsible for finding another way for the troops. , Never go deep into the main peak. This is an order that cannot be violated. Chu Tian knew what Commander Han wanted, so he reluctantly agreed.

Seeing Chutian's vigorous back disappearing into the darkness, Han Tie sighed, turned around and returned to the headquarters, but he still had no good solution to the problem in front of him.
