※Team Xing leaves after dark. [Read the latest chapter] Night of urgent march. After staying in hiding for a whole day in the Baopang Mountain area, we continued marching at night. With the help of complete maps and night vision equipment, we suddenly arrived at the Dangnamen stronghold in the morning.
The cottage stands on a small earth hill, surrounded by walls and watchtowers made of solid stone and wood. The level of fortification is pretty good and can withstand ordinary attacks.
The topography around the mountain village seen through the telescope is not steep but quite complex. It is good that the terrain of the mountain fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but once it is surrounded, it is difficult to break out. Therefore, bandit's cottages are generally not built on particularly dangerous and dangerous roads, so as to be able to escape quickly in adverse situations.
If they came in force, Dang Namen would have time to withdraw from the stronghold and use the terrain here to escape. But now, He Ming has commanded his troops to quickly seize the three main access channels near the mountain fortress before dawn and block the escape route. This is all thanks to the work of modern maps and night vision equipment.
"All troops have arrived at the scheduled location and are building fortifications!" the trainee staff report reported.
"Order all troops to pay attention to the enemy's movements." He Ming put down the telescope. Glanced at the map. Troops have been assigned to block the entrances and exits where people can escape.
"Everyone, please act quickly!" Panda urged his engineering soldiers and the education soldiers assigned to him. They lay on the ground. They are laboriously digging holes and laying simple anti-infantry mines. Others are using mud to build parapets for shooting.
In addition to the main road into the mountains, there were three roads that the bandits could escape from, with Dadai Slope being the most difficult to block. The other two were mountain paths. Twenty soldiers built temporary low walls of dirt and shrubs. Use a volley gun and grenades to stop the bandits.
But Dadaipo is not a road, it is a wide slope. If the bandits are allowed to rush through this place, they will have countless mountain roads to choose from.
Panda had no choice but to intercept the bandits in this open field.
His military strength is second only to the troops directly under the command post. There is an infantry platoon, an engineering class and thirty "educational soldiers" who have not yet been equipped with guns. Only bayonets and improvised spears. Waving the flag and shouting, the scene is enough.
Fortunately, he brought a common weapon used by engineers: the ground jig.
Of course, this mine is not any of the familiar ones. Although some people call it a thrown directional mine by its name, it is actually a primitive and crude anti-infantry directional mine. So simple that no mine shell is needed. As for the angle of orientation, only God knows.
All the equipment was a pack of black powder, a fuse, an iron plate and a pile of scrap copper and scrap iron. Dig one on the side of the road. In a shallow pit, put explosive packets on top, cover it with an iron plate for orientation, and then pile a layer of various fragments that can break people's heads and bleed. Of course, all metals are now strategic materials, so there are no iron plates in the mines that Panda carried, but hardwood boards. According to the test results, the scrap copper and iron used as shotguns were replaced by gravel. These gravels are carefully selected from the quarry and are basically the same size.
Every intersection where you can escape. Panda's engineers are laying such land mines. Originally, only fuses could be used to detonate landmines, and it was difficult to control the time of ignition. Laying fuses that were both concealed and reliable was a difficulty. Since the chemical industry department developed white phosphorus and red phosphorus, the technical problem of pulling fire tubes has finally been overcome. Although this technology mainly facilitates artillery firing, engineers have also enjoyed the benefits of this improvement.
The width of the entire large platform is about 100 meters, and each directional mine can cover a distance of about 30 meters. Panda set up three groups of five mines crisscrossed across the entire slope.
"Everyone listen to my command and set the scale at four meters." Yang Zeng laid out the battle plan for his soldiers. "We will use the second line and fire the volley according to the command. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the soldiers replied in unison.
"Okay, everyone, bayonets on!"
The soldiers pulled out their sharp bayonets from their leather sheaths and mounted them. Yang Zeng checked the soldiers' bayonets, guns and ammunition, and said a few words to the education soldiers in the back. The recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time were a little shaken and didn't know how to hold the spear.
Yang Zeng said a few words of encouragement. Although he had no military experience, he knew that they could not be counted on in an emergency. You have to rely on veterans. The so-called veterans are just a few more months of training. Combat experience is fighting a battle when pirates attack. Some people simply lined up once and didn't even get the chance to fire on the pirates.
Seeing Pan Chang commanding the soldiers with shovels to dig holes everywhere, Yang Zeng couldn't help but feel guilty. Although he had learned about "landmines" when he was an officer in training, he had no idea how powerful they were. It would be nice to have a cannon here, he thought.
Panda himself didn’t have much confidence. He looked at the fuses, fuses and ropes of the directional mines everywhere. I also tried to pull it in the air several times experimentally to ensure that there were no obstacles when pulling it. Whether the effective fire could reach the ten bandits' rush depends on how powerful this "Tiannu Scattered Flowers" is.
If the bandits are really brave and brave enough to use their flesh and blood to step on landmines to open a path, then Panda has one last trick: a grenade launcher. Engineers are setting up this simple little cannon.”
This is a cheap and simple weapon developed by the weapons design team of the Ministry of Machinery. Since the invention of the "hand-held shotgun", the weapons team has set off a wave of enthusiasm for designing disposable simple support weapons. This grenade is The product of this revolution.
A cast iron pipe with a gunpowder bag inside and a cast iron No. 4 bomb once frightened the New Army soldiers. The hammer grenade that created the first martyr of the Sixth Army has removed the throwing rope and can be propelled by black powder. It was thrown out of the concave meter at an angle of ten degrees, but the accuracy can only be said to be that the direction of the throw was generally correct.
The detonating fuse on the No. 4 bomb will be ignited at the same time when the propellant explodes, similar to the ignition method of a grenade fired by a smoothbore gun. However, the problem of grenades also exists here - about one-third of the No. 4 bombs will not be fired. will be detonated. The detonation rate is much lower than throwing it out after the fire.
"Even if it doesn't explode, it will explode if it hits someone's head. Even if it is a solid bullet." Panda is not very picky about this kind of weapon. Brought twenty. Come out as a test.
All ammunition is preloaded, and the nozzle is sealed with wax paper. When shooting from the wax-sealed ignition port at the tail, you only need to insert the plug and tip of the ignition tube into the male grenade. The grenade barrel is equipped with a simple bracket and base plate. . If you are not afraid of the danger of exploding the barrel, you can also hold it in hand.
This kind of grenade can theoretically be reloaded on the battlefield, but for safety reasons, the military industry department recommends that troops recover it after firing and return it to the factory for reloading.
If the last resort fails to stop the enemy, you will have to rely on rifle fire and hand-to-hand combat. Although Panda had absolute confidence that the highly organized and disciplined infantry bayonet fighting trained by humble soldiers could completely defeat the bandits, he still felt a little trepidatious in his heart.
.
The anti-bandit troops suddenly came to the city. This surprised Dang Namen who had just woken up in the morning. He has his own source of intelligence: he knows that this group of pirates from Australia are going to clear out the Green Forest recently. At first he didn't take it seriously. After all, the mountains and the sea were all matters of water, and the "Thirteen Villages" area under his control also expressed surrender to this group of Australians. They should be given the same amount, and there was no reason. Come and fight
.
He climbed up the wall and looked out. On the hillside a mile away, there were densely packed Australian troops wearing tight-fitting gray trumpet jackets. Some of them were equipped with bird ribbons, and some were equipped with spears, all of which were shining brightly in the sun. It was hard to see how many people there were at the moment.
Such a group of people actually marched in the mountains at night and came to his mountain fortress silently. Thinking of this, he suddenly became frightened. "The Australians suddenly arrived in full force. They must have bad intentions. He had heard about the Australians before. The firearms of the people of the state are very powerful, and the cannons are even more invincible. The defense of the mountain fortress will definitely be finished. Immediately, all the leaders under the command were called:
"Everyone, don't mess up!" He glanced at the panicked leaders. The sudden and stealthy arrival of the other party's troops shocked the gangsters. "The thieves have powerful firearms. We can't fight them head-on. Prepare to "flow water, okay" ! "
"Liu Shui" means to disperse and flee to various secret camps in the mountains to hide, wait for the wind to pass and then come out to regroup. This is a common tactic of bandits.
"Party boss!" Zhao Haiqing, one of the four major gold nets, said, "It is easy to flow water, but the women, gold, silver and food in the plug,"
"Why do you care about this?" Although the Dang family was reluctant to give up, they had a big idea after all. "Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. You can always have money and women. It's a waste of your life. Damn it! Let's go quickly. Bar."
The leaders heard what was right and dispersed, telling the bandits to prepare for "flowing water". Suddenly there was chaos in the village, and the bandits were unwilling to leave their money. They all stuffed their bodies with large amounts of silver, foreign money and jewelry, and everyone was stuffed to the brim. The whole body is bulging. The party member knew something was wrong, but the bandits, who were already in chaos, ignored his orders. The party sect had no choice but to take seven or eight of its cronies and "run the show" on its own.
"Light a fire! Burn the stronghold!" Dang Namen ordered.
"Boss!" Although they knew that these things were definitely not theirs, they still couldn't bring themselves to burn down the lair where they had been kneeling for many years.
"Don't be reluctant to part with it!" Dang Namen spat fiercely, "If you don't burn it, you will be advantageous to these thieves. If it is burned down, everyone will be clean!"
In fact, the party members still have a calculation in their hearts. When the fire breaks out, the Australians will rush to put out the fire for the sake of wealth and food, and will not be able to care about chasing them, and everyone will easily escape from the sky.
"Fire! Fire!" someone shouted at the command post.
"The enemy is starting to run away." He Ming said, raising the telescope
In an instant, I saw a few doors wide open. Through the telescope, I could see the bandits carrying large and small bags, armed with knives, axes, guns and spears, dividing into groups and fleeing in all directions.
He Ming paid attention to their direction and made sure that there was no missed path.
After a while, gunfire rang out in the distance, and puffs of white smoke rose among the green mountains and waters, which was quite beautiful.
"The fighting started on the mountain pass on the left!"
He Ming adjusted the focus of the telescope to see the battle situation, but could not see anything clearly. A large amount of smoke when the rifle was fired obscured the battlefield.
He frowned and turned the camera to another mountain road where the bandits had broken through. The terrain here was slightly more open, and the smoke would soon be taken away by the wind. Only forty or fifty bandits were seen, wearing bulging clothes and carrying packages on their backs. They were rushing towards the slopes on both sides of the mountain pass. White smoke was sprayed from time to time from the positions above. The bandits who were shot rolled down the hillside. Some were injured and fell to the ground, struggling desperately on the ground.
"Strange, are they wearing any armor?" He Ming felt strange. He had never heard of bandits wearing armor.
In the dying struggle of a hit man, a few keys of white silver rolled down from his torn clothes.
It turns out that all the bulging stuff is packed with belongings.
Everyone suddenly realized. Someone said: "It's really a waste of money. It's hard to escape with all these burdens. If you don't bring them, you might still be able to escape."
Someone on the "Not necessarily" website refuted. An explosion was heard in the distance. A cloud of white smoke rose from the mountain pass, gravel and soil were flying everywhere, and someone could faintly be heard screaming. This is when the Tuxu mine was detonated.
"It exploded! It exploded!" Following the excited voices of the staff behind him,
Directional mines were detonated one after another, and nothing could be seen in the telescope. He Ming put down the telescope and asked, "Is there any new trend in the village?"
"Not yet. The fire was very big. People probably ran out."
"Command the platoon to move towards the gate of the mountain stronghold. Wait for an opportunity to occupy the stronghold. Don't rush to put out the fire." He Ming ordered, "Give them the artillery." The top priority is to annihilate all the bandits. It doesn't matter if there is any property in the mountain fortress. Okay, it’s no big deal to the overall situation.
The bandits who were preparing to pour water were driven back from various intersections. They did not expect that the enemy would actually set up ambushes in these places, waiting for them to rush. Several groups of bandits who attempted to "lose water" were beaten to death at the intersection, and most of them were killed or injured. Many people went back
.
The party's brain was very quick, and knowing that hesitation now would be a dead end, he quickly greeted everyone:
"Don't be messy, throw away all the money you have, life and money, let's all stand out from Dadaipo!"
under his repeated shouting. More than a hundred people gathered around him, all of them anxious all day long, staring at the door of the party, asking him to come up with an idea quickly.
