Through the words and deeds of Miaohua and Chen Wanli, Zhao Qinghu and Li Fu have a deep understanding of the mercenary group's combat methods, and they also know the value of every soldier's life.
What impressed them even more was how much training he and his brothers had endured in the past six months, how much sweat they had put in, and how much ammunition and logistical supplies they had consumed to look like what they are today. It can be said that these warriors under his command were piled up by the chief scholar with money, and all of them will be of great use in the future. It's not worth it if you get stuck in a battle with a few bandits.
So although he came for revenge this time, Zhao Qinghu followed a sound strategy and had the mentality of a lion fighting a rabbit. When the situation was unclear, he would never take the risk of attacking.
Moreover, although they only numbered 100 this time, they had about fifty mules and horses carrying ammunition and supplies, which could be said to be sufficient food and ammunition. Moreover, this time it happened to be a time to test the training results in actual combat, and by the way, it was also a time to practice squadron tactics.
Therefore, the forward and rear rows and machine gun positions arranged by Skywarp Leopard are all for the blind to see, and are completely useless.
why?
Because after Zhao Qinghu surrounded the cottage, he deployed heavy machine gun and mortar positions in the front, and then started bombarding with mortars.
As mentioned earlier, most of the technical arms of the Jiang Defense Brigade are composed of backbones drawn from the same regiment. They are not new recruits. The main shooter and gunner of the heavy machine gun are veterans who have fought hard against the Japanese, and have gone through mercenaries. The Corps has been training at all costs for more than a year, and hitting fixed targets is just like playing.
"Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom..."
The deafening explosion sounded in the peaceful Wuyi Mountains, frightening the birds in the mountains and forests within a few miles, and also sounded the battle horn of the Jiang Defense Brigade's revenge battle.
This time, Chen Wanli specifically told Zhao Qinghu that annihilating the Skywarp Leopards was a tough battle. The long-range light projectiles carried by the mortars were of little use, so Zhao Qinghu was asked to carry all heavy explosives weighing 6.9 kilograms.
The two mortars only fired 6 heavy bombs, completely blowing down the gate of the mountain village that Tianfanbao thought was solid. By the way, a large section of the wall made of adobe bricks was also blown down. Those who were arranged according to the old routine were The bandits on the wall either took a plane or ran back in turmoil.
The buildings and defensive positions inside the cottage have been completely exposed to the artillery observers' telescopes.
The next step was easy. Under the command of the observer, the two mortars fired one after another at the building house inside. Once the shot hit, a house collapsed, and the inside squatted with a gun and took aim at the window. All the bandits turned into lumps of dirt or screaming firemen.
The two Maxim heavy machine guns specially equipped for the Jiang Defense Brigade sprinkled bullets like splashing water along several gaps.
Suddenly, the cries and howls in the village resounded throughout the sky. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, flames rose, and smoke filled the air. In less than a minute, the bandits felt as if a century had passed. Who could endure it?
These bandits are just a mob, with no discipline at all, and no knowledge or strong will. They have never dreamed of such a hell-like situation, as well as such ferocious artillery fire and intensive firepower. People's spirits almost collapsed instantly.
And the head of the family, Skywarp Leopard, wasn't much better. His face was sullen and his eyes were full of fear. How can everyone still have the courage to hold on to any position at this time?
Soon someone jumped up and ran back. One person took the lead and others followed. In an instant, the bandits in the village were like ants that exploded in a pot. They ran away crying for their fathers and mothers. Some even thought they were lucky. He thought that as long as he could run out of the village and head into the mountains, he might be able to come back alive.
But now the village is surrounded by people, and the roads are blocked by automatic firepower such as semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns. There is no way out.
When various gunshots rang out all around, this one-sided battle was coming to an end.
What kind of fighting ability can the bandits have? Once they are dispersed, no one will have the courage to resist.
Nearly 200 bandits were shelled and beaten by the Jiang Defense Brigade. In just a few minutes, hundreds of them fell. Most of them were knocked down by various weapons on the way out. Most of the remaining bandits were kneeling on the ground and crying. Please forgive me grandpa.
Of course, there were also a few people who followed Skywarp Leopard and ran into a small cave behind the village, preparing to fight tooth and nail.
Because Skywarp Leopard knew that since he was the one flying the tiger flag, he had no chance of surviving and could only fight one by one.
However, what made him despair again was that Zhao Qinghu didn't give him a chance to fight. He just threw countless dead branches and weeds into the cave and set it on fire. The thick smoke filled the cave and choked the bandits in just a few minutes. Unable to stay in the hole, he could only grit his teeth and fire a few shots before rushing out.
Of course they were greeted by a barrage of bullets.
Skywarp Leopard was very lucky, and he was only injured but not killed, but his ending was really not as happy as being directly beaten to death.
Including Sky-turning Leopard, there were about ninety bandits, whether injured or kneeling and surrendering, and they were all executed on the order of Zhao Qinghu that day. Including those who had been beaten to death before, all their heads were chopped off and hung on wooden stakes. Several rows of human heads were erected at the entrance of the bandit's village.
However, Skywarp Leopard was tortured to death by the survivors of the Panjia'ao Massacre. It is said that the changed tone of the screams made those veterans who turned around didn't realize they were farther away. In the end, Skywarp Leopard was still in good condition except for his head, and the entire body was almost unrecognizable as a human being, which shows how tragic his death was.
A few days later, the news that the Tiger Banner entered the Wuyi Mountains and wiped out the Sky-turning Leopard spread throughout hundreds of miles. The bandits in the Wuyi Mountains were all in danger, fearing that these people who were even more vicious than the Tigers would come to their door. .
On this day, on Fangtou Mountain, which is only a hundred miles away from Leopard Ridge, Ma Laoer was pacing back and forth anxiously in the so-called Juyi Hall of the village. On a cold day, there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead. Emerge.
Not long after, I heard someone yelling and running over.
"Master, master, Skywarp Leopard is gone. It's really gone. I saw it with my own eyes. Bloody heads were hanging on the top of Leopard Ridge. Skywarp Leopard's village was also burned to ashes. I guess I'm afraid No one was left alive!"
A man with a crooked mouth ran in panting heavily to report, but this man was Waizui Qi, Ma Laoer's confidant sent out to find out the news.
I saw Waizui Qi. I don't know whether he was tired from riding a horse for hundreds of miles on the mountain road or was frightened, but his originally dark face turned frighteningly white.
