Catastrophe

The speed of the Hedong bandit gang's advance was very slow. There was a distance of several hundred kilometers between the main force and the vanguard. Because they also did not have sufficient transport vehicles, the large force was still marching in the desert in the Hedong area at this time.

Hu Yihan didn't know this point. In his opinion, since the Bodhisattva Gang appeared as the vanguard unit, and it was still the vanguard unit on a battalion scale, the large unit would definitely not be too far away from the vanguard unit.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that Hu Yihan decided to launch an attack on the Bodhisattva Gang in the shortest possible time by means of a blitzkrieg, and grab the water source behind him. Otherwise, once the war of attrition starts, I don't know how long it will last. Sufficient supplies are a very important condition.

The Starlight Guard's artillery bombardment lasted for about thirty seconds without interruption. Such a large-scale artillery bombardment was already quite terrifying when used in a battle between bandits.

After the shelling, the hillsides on both sides of the road were filled with gunpowder smoke, and the ground was covered with bullet craters. The bandit in charge of the on-site command tore off his trouser legs, covered the wound on his abdomen pierced by shrapnel with a rag, and watched the ground covered with shrapnel. The stump and the broken arm shouted to the surrounding: "Anyone who is panting, gather to me! Prepare to block!"

"Whoa!"

Below the floating soil in the distance, a bandit got out and shook the soil on his body: "Their firepower is too fierce, we can't bear it at all! Let's retreat!"

"Remove what the fuck! Let's not move, the people behind are the second line of defense. If we retreat back, this line of defense will become the supervising team that forces us to rush forward! This is not the first time you have fought, Don't you understand this logic!" The bandit shook the soil on the gun: "If you can breathe, let me get up!"

"Tom tom tom!"

At this moment, the second round of shelling by the Starlight Guards followed. The bandits, who had not waited for order to be restored, were once again enveloped by artillery fire. heaven.

Hu Yihan stood on the high ground in the distance, his ears roared by the shelling, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "The Pioneer Battalion is ready, after this round of shelling, directly press me up and clean the high ground ahead! Be sure to do it in the shortest possible time. Occupy this high ground within the time limit!"

The second round of shelling lasted only about ten seconds.

After two consecutive rounds of artillery shelling, the bandits on the hillside had been bombed to pieces. In the trenches, a bandit raised his head and shouted at his partner next to him: "The leader of the team is dead, who will listen to the command next? ?"

"Listen to your uncle's command! Just do it!" Another bandit was blinded in one eye. Seeing that his rifle had been blown up, he began to look for weapons next to the surrounding corpses.

The bandit who shouted had his ears deafened, with blood dripping from his ears on both sides of his temples. He stared at him and asked, "What did you say? Who are you listening to?"

Another bandit picked up a rifle and saw that there were already troops rushing towards them in the valley, turned around and started shooting down the mountain: "Listen to what the fuck! The enemy is pressing up!"

The deaf bandit saw the movements of his companions, and looked down the hillside subconsciously, and found that the Starlight Armed people had pulled away the skirmish line, and began to charge the hillsides on both sides, holding up their rifles.

"Bang!"

The next second, the bandit was shot in the head, and his body fell to the side.

A bandit in the trench behind saw this and shouted hoarsely: "The other side has snipers! Hidden!"

"Tom tom tom!"

While charging, the vanguard battalion also began to use grenade launchers to continue to suppress the hillside. Under the coverage of strong firepower, the bandits were unable to lift their heads at all. They were quickly armed by the guards to break through the heights and started hand-to-hand combat.

"Boom!"

Just as the two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the front position was shelled again. Seeing this scene, Hu Yihan picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "This group of bandits are all crazy, and they actually launched shelling on their own people! Tanks press me forward! Destroy the enemy. artillery positions!"

The firepower of the Bodhisattva Gang was very weak. There were only four grenade launchers and two small mountain guns. Under the strong firepower of the guards, they quickly fell into the lower winds. The so-called artillery positions did not do anything to the tanks at all. The damage was taken away by the armored troops.

The battle ended quickly. In less than half an hour, the Starlight Armed Forces occupied Yaowang Valley, annihilated more than 200 bandits, and captured dozens of prisoners. Under the huge gap, the Starlight Armed Forces only had six. People were killed in shelling and gun battles, and a dozen others were injured in varying degrees.

After the guards occupied the water source, they began to supply supplies quickly, and at the same time began to build defensive positions.

After a brief interrogation of the captives, Lin Xun quickly found Hu Yihan: "The interrogation has been completed, the troop that we eliminated was the Bodhisattva Gang from Hedong, they were not the Hedong Allied Forces, even the miscellaneous troop. It’s not really, it’s just cannon fodder pushed out to explore the way, according to the explanation of the bandits of the Bodhisattva Gang, the large force of the Hedong Gang has not yet entered the Kujiao Canyon, and the person in charge of the Bodhisattva Gang just threw them down and ran away!”

Hu Yihan nodded: "I just contacted Jiao Baldzi. He was in the Xingge Desert and found no trace of the bandits. It seems that our guess is correct. The bandits just want to occupy the Kujiao Canyon and use this place as a Send troops and drive us into the Xingge Desert!"

"According to the confessions of the bandits~www.readwn.com~ We continue to move forward for 20 kilometers, and we will arrive at a place called Wanfo Cave, which should be an old world relic. There are many Buddhist caves in the valley, and There are lush vegetation, because there is no sunlight and there are many water sources, so many mosquitoes breed, also known as the valley of insects, there are countless swarms of insects and flies that can kill them. At present, there are already insects. signs of proliferation."

After Lin Xun finished talking about the situation of the Wanfo Gang, he immediately put forward his own suggestion: "I think we can push the front line to 15 kilometers away. In this way, after the troops of the Hedong Gang enter the Kujiao Gorge, they can only move in The Ten Thousand Buddhas Grottoes are stationed in the area, if the worm tide attacks them, we can save a lot of energy!"

"No!" Hu Yihan thought for a while and rejected Lin Xun's proposal: "Using the insect tide is indeed a good way, but we have already penetrated 40 kilometers into the canyon, and if we continue to move forward, we will advance too deep. It will take many days for the follow-up troops to arrive. If the Hedong Gang chooses to take a detour to the Xingge Desert and attack in the Kujiao Canyon, we will also be in danger. My suggestion is to camp here and protect the water source. , and set up multiple fronts behind to ensure that you can retreat at any time and avoid being surrounded by enemy forces."

"Listen to you." Lin Xun nodded and continued to ask, "What should we do with the group of prisoners we just caught?"
