The panicked bandits rolled up their trousers, then stepped directly into the still cold stream and began to flow through it.
What's interesting is that when Zhou Changfeng saw these stubborn gangsters through the telescope, they actually cooperated?
Half of them waded across the stream, while the other half stayed on the beach nearby to watch.
Tsk tsk tsk, you are really experienced.
Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Changfeng pointed the signal gun in his hand into the air and pulled the trigger.
"Pah! Phew——"
As the red signal flare took off, the impatient soldiers who had been hiding for a long time immediately opened fire.
In an instant, four trial-produced Type 37 heavy machine guns roared. Even though they were equipped with trumpet-shaped flash suppressors, the orange muzzle flash was still quite dazzling.
Round after round, strings of 7.36 mm rifled bullets were poured into the crowd of stubborn bandits who were crossing the stream. In an instant, there was a splash of blood, just like throwing a handful of pebbles into the lake.
Screams and roars came from hundreds of meters away, but they were too weak compared to the gunshots.
In just ten seconds, at least thirty people were knocked down, and the clear stream was quickly stained red with blood.
And because the stream is relatively fast, the conspicuous red color "spreads" downstream at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although this group of stubborn bandits are remarkable in terms of organization and experience, they still cannot be compared with the regular army. At least now they are faced with the situation of half-crossing and attacking, and they are suddenly at a loss.
Turn back? No, there are troops chasing you!
So most of the people were shooting randomly while running as fast as they could to the other side of the stream, stepping into the stream with their feet and making high splashes.
Some people feel that the target of conformity is too big and difficult to escape, so they choose to run westward along the stream.
However, at this moment, the roar of the aircraft engine came from the sky.
Everyone could see the huge shadow of the plane on the ground without looking up. Immediately, the buzzing sound passed over the heads of the officers and soldiers.
Several blue smoke cans were placed nearby, billowing blue smoke rising to prevent accidental injury.
Since the opponent did not have anti-aircraft weapons, the pilot flew the plane extremely low. Zhou Changfeng estimated that it was not even fifty meters high.
The Mountain Eagle No. 1 did not launch a circling side attack as soon as it came up. Instead, it flew parallel to the stream and passed straight over the heads of the bandits.
The twin 7.36mm machine guns on the nose were operated by the navigator during the war. He pulled the trigger, and the vengeful bullets flew out of the muzzle at high speed.
"Da da da da——"
After passing over them, it was the tail machine gun tower's turn to show off its power.
After serving for all these years, he has never killed an enemy. The machine gunner who is gearing up especially cherishes this hard-won opportunity.
Amidst the loud gunshots of "哓哃僃", a series of 12.8㎜ bullets were poured on the bandits, and the entire river beach was covered with blood and flesh in an instant!
After the flyby attack, the pilot pulled up the aircraft and began a formal circling attack.
Although one artillery and one machine gun were installed, the crew members did not change. The two machine gunners on the left and right sides of the fuselage and the machine gunner in the back machine gun tower came directly to "part-time".
The three people who were eager to try checked the weapons. After the aircraft entered a stable hovering state, they slightly adjusted the direction of the muzzle, and then directly pulled the firing rope.
"boom!"
An 80mm anti-explosive bomb roared out from the muzzle of this Type 12 mountain cannon, which had its barrel shortened by half. Because the barrel is much shorter, the time the shell remains in the chamber is shortened, and the propellant is not fully burned, so the muzzle flame is much larger than normal.
The cannonball exploded by the stream, sending sand, soil and water spraying everywhere. Four or five bandits were knocked down on the spot. From the telescope, Zhou Changfeng could even see a severed arm being lifted up into the sky by the shock wave.
The Type 32 12.8mm aviation machine gun sprayed bullets one after another on the ground at a high rate of fire. The tracer bullets mixed in made its firepower like a fire whip. The person who was hit fell to death on the spot, bloody and bloody.
If a 7.36mm rifle bullet hits the torso, it may be possible to hang on for a while, but if it is hit by a big thing with more than 10,000 joules, there is almost no room for a death struggle.
Since there were friendly aircraft flying at low altitude, in accordance with field regulations, the mortars were not fired to prevent the small probability of an unfortunate incident.
Circle once, twice, three times...
The officers and soldiers present were all shocked by the gunship's exaggerated firepower...and durability.
Such a big thing fired while spinning in circles above its head, and it carried two hundred rounds of 80mm artillery shells and more than ten thousand rounds of 12.8mm machine gun bullets.
It's really a weapon to torture people. How can the bandits who lack anti-air firepower survive it?
The fleeing gangsters seemed to be all over the mountains and plains, and the beach by the stream was strewn with corpses.
The frightened bandits were so frightened that they wished they had more legs and even threw away their guns in order to run faster.
Surrounded by several cronies, Wan Tianhu and his group of more than a dozen people were lucky enough to cross the stream alive.
Is this how to escape?
However, before they had time to rejoice, they had just rolled and crawled away for more than a dozen steps when they felt a strange movement.
The sound of engines came from diagonally ahead, and soon a few tanks were seen...and then more and more, at least ten, accompanied by hundreds of people.
Grass? !
The group of people were immediately stunned.
The confidence and pride in the eyes of the tall and powerful Wan Tianhu suddenly disappeared, because this was the first time in more than twenty years that he had seen such outrageous methods of suppressing bandits.
When he was seventeen, he robbed people of money, and later joined forces to rob merchants and goods. Eventually, he committed murder and was wanted by the government, so he chose to become a bandit.
Over the years, he has encountered Ming troops who came to suppress bandits dozens of times. What kind of storms and waves has he not experienced?
But this time, it was really the first time for me to encounter someone who was chasing after me with my ass, setting up an ambush on the ground, using a big plane in the sky, and having a chariot! It was really outrageous!
However, even so, the vast majority of these stubborn bandits are still unwilling to be captured without mercy.
If you are caught by the government, you will definitely die. It is also death, so why not try to escape? No matter how low the odds are, you still have to try.
However, there were also a few weaklings who chose to kneel down and ask for surrender. They felt that even if they were captured, they could live a few more days before being shot, which was better than being beaten to death on the spot.
Amidst the "click-click" and "boom" sounds of gunfire, several amphibious tanks projected blazing firepower on the bandits who were running wildly. This scene of a unilateral massacre left many officers and soldiers stunned.
The short battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour. Nearly two hundred corpses in various forms of death were strewn across both sides of the stream, but most of them were incomplete.
Even though the deployment was in place, about seven or eight bandits still managed to escape into the mountains and forests.
"I won't let anyone go, and the military dogs will lead the way. I'll catch them all!"
Zhou Changfeng was determined to kill them all, and the eager soldiers set off happily instead of getting bored.
