Chapter 127 Desperate Situation
Wang Wu was lying behind the bunker on the earth embankment. This camp was originally built according to the platoon-level camp in the military engineering standard manual compiled by the General Staff. Now he only has one squad responsible for guarding it. In fact, after excluding the corporal who was sent out and Liu Bin, who was left in the tent to take care of the patients, there were only 10 guards.
10 people can't resist the hundreds of thugs outside. Wang Wu looked at the few people scattered on the embankment. If the enemy attacked from multiple directions, only one person on one side could resist. If you persist for an hour or two at most, you will be unable to bear it. They can only place their hopes on the person who reported the news. As long as Danzhou sends one company, they will be saved.
"We have to defend here. The longer we defend, the greater the chance of survival." Wang Wu took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit it and started smoking, "We are having a lively fight here, and the greater the noise, the greater the chance of survival." The headquarters will notice the abnormality early and send people to reinforce us. We have rifles, what do the bandits outside have?"
The sergeant nodded, and then encouraged everyone: "I participated in the Lingao bandit suppression. The bandits are just a bunch of lazy and lazy people. They bully the common people the most. In a war, they will become soft when you cross them. Everyone just needs to hold on for one day."
The sergeant and Wang Wu climbed up to the observation tower together. In the woods and grass outside the open area around the camp, there are shadowy figures of swaying swords and guns. The village was filled with cries and commotion.
"There are actually not many enemies." The sergeant said, "We can rush out with all of us together."
But this will inevitably leave behind all the patients. Moreover, part of the way out is a rugged mountain road. If the bandits set up an ambush there, they would be in a tough fight.
Wang Wu shook his head: "We can't leave the patients behind, otherwise they will all die. And they may not be able to rush out."
In such a hasty breakout, at most three or four people could escape, and the whole army would be wiped out. As a result, neither the work team nor the sergeant could explain it to the "organization."
"The only thing we can do is defend."
They came down from the observation deck. At this time, Liu Bin came to Wang Wu crying. Three patients, including the health worker, have died, and the condition of others is not optimistic.
"I gave them antidiarrheal medicine and painkillers." Liu Bin burst into tears, "But it still didn't work."
Wang Wu said: "They have been poisoned. I don't know what kind of poison they were poisoned, but taking medicine will not help." At this time, the shooter on the observation deck loudly informed them: the bandits began to line up.
"Stand to your positions," the sergeant shouted, "don't be in a hurry and let the enemy get closer before fighting."
Liu Bin also wanted to go up the embankment, but Wang Wu refused: "You should take good care of the patients."
There are now 2 people on each side of the camp, and 2 people on the lookout. So there are 10 people in total, and there is no reserve team at all. Everyone knew that they would either have to fight off the enemy on their own, or they would all die here.
Wang Wu and a soldier with mild symptoms guarded the western section. Listening to the painful sounds coming from time to time, Wang Wu loaded five or six rifles one by one and put them at hand. Following the method in the military education films he had seen in the past, he placed a gun in several bunkers in this section.
The bandits on the east side of the camp approached cautiously. The sergeant climbed up the watchtower himself. He saw that only the enemy from the east was approaching, and the enemies elsewhere remained motionless. He knew that this was a tentative attack.
"Be aware that the enemy is coming from the east. There are 20 archers and 30 miscellaneous soldiers without firearms."
This group of bandits walked more than a hundred steps and saw that they had reached a place 200 steps away from the embankment. At this time, a gunshot sounded on the embankment.
The scream of bullets flying through the air made everyone dwarf. One of the bandits said "ah" and fell down.
Then, as if many people were shooting, wisps of white smoke kept rising from the embankment. The bandits couldn't bear the pressure, and immediately turned around and ran back in chaos.
Wang Wu was in the earth embankment bunker in the west. He always resisted looking at the situation in the east: knowing that the enemies in the east were slowly approaching, he was afraid that his attention would be attracted and the bandits would attack in disorder. .
Sure enough, after a while, the sergeant's voice rang again: "The enemy in the west charged 10 archers, 50 miscellaneous soldiers, and firearms."
In an instant, Wang Wu saw dozens of farmers in ragged clothes rushing out of the woods and grass, brandishing various weapons, and making strange screams. He immediately raised his rifle and opened fire on the crowd.
Before the feeling of recoil passed to his shoulders disappeared, he dropped the rifle and ran along the trench to the next bunker, picked up the rifle in the bunker, and fired another shot. Then comes the next bunker. Then he returned in the same rhythm, firing six shots in three bunkers in a matter of seconds.
The soldier who helped him load the gun quickly helped him load the gun. He smelled something bad about him.
"I'm sorry, I can't bear it." The soldier grimaced and handed him a Mini with an unknown yellow substance on the butt of the gun.
Wang Wu ignored all these and continued to fire with his shoulder.
The bandits quickly retreated, and then they attacked on two other sides, both of which were repulsed. The soldiers on the observation deck fired at the fastest speed, which also gave the bandits the illusion that the "enemy firepower" was dense.
At the end of the first round of fighting, seventeen or eight bodies were left in the open space, and many bandits were injured. This result is quite satisfactory.
Wang Wu thought: If the bandits attack at this pace, it will not be a problem to defend for a day.
Now the bandit leaders can no longer maintain their original complacency.
"Didn't you say that they were all poisoned? It looks like they were poisoned." Hu Lanyan folded the hands, very dissatisfied. There are already more than 300 bandits arriving one after another. But if we continue fighting like this, what else can we achieve besides losing our lives in vain?
"D, is Liu Dazhu telling the truth?" Gou Xunli couldn't think of any need for Liu Dazhu to lie. But in the situation just now, there seemed to be a lot of enemies.
Xin Nari said: "Let's just withdraw." He was frightened by the Australians, and when he saw them, he just wanted to stay away. Xin Nari has one thing better than others - he is very aware of the huge gap between himself and the Australians.
"This is a small and easy-to-eat team. We may not have such an opportunity in the future."
"If we can't withdraw, how will we survive in the future? We must kill the thief Kun's spirit."
"We should attack from all sides at the same time, so that they can ignore the head and tail."
While they were talking, someone came to report that a thief was caught on the mountain road.
"That's great." Gou Xunli perked up, "Quick, escort me here."
Wang Wu was on the lookout - he asked the patient who was loading the bullet to quickly change into a pair of pants and rest. There will be fighting for a while. At this time, the sergeant came over with a soldier: "Someone is coming from the east of the captain."
He asked a soldier to temporarily replace Wang Wu, and the two of them trotted up the east embankment. Looking out from the bunker, I saw several bandits pushing a tied-up man over.
Their hearts immediately sank. Although this man was covered in blood and was wearing a Fubo Army uniform.
"We have captured your messenger for help. There are not many of you left," a bandit hiding behind shouted, "surrender quickly, no one will come to save you."
The person who asked for help was captured, which meant that the headquarters would only notice something strange when no one attended the regular reporting meeting held every seven days two days later.
"If you don't surrender, this is what will happen," the bandit shouted, raising a spear.
On the pointed gun head was Liu Dazhu's head. His eyes were slightly open and his mouth was wide open, looking unwilling.
Wang Wu trembled, and a chill rose from his feet: he felt that his death was approaching. He replied loudly and hoarsely: "We will not surrender to you bunch of barbarians and bumpkins."
The bandits on the opposite side yelled in unison and chopped off the corporal's head with a knife. The rifles on the observation deck rang out at the same time, and half of the knife-wielding bandit's head was shot off. The others were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, not even taking Liu Dazhu's head. At this time, three or four gunshots were fired in succession, knocking down the two bandits.
Half an hour later, with a shout, the bandits started a new round of charge carrying their things. They were carrying door panels dismantled from the village, improvised ladders, and many bundles of firewood - this was a formal attack.
The attack was launched from all sides at the same time, but the sergeant on the observation deck quickly identified that the main attack was from the south and east.
"Concentrate fire on the south and east sides," the sergeant ordered loudly, "pay attention to the sight gauge."
The bandits quickly entered the shooting range, and the leaders shouted desperately to drive them away. The gunshots rang out intensively, and the crackling smoke immediately enveloped the embankment. At this time, the soldiers no longer aimed, but just blindly Fire, and the reloader loads the bullet as fast as possible.
The sergeant was shooting from the lookout while observing the surrounding situation. Since there were so many people in this charge, the few who died were not noticeable. The bandits became emboldened and quickly reached the trench and threw bundles of firewood and earth bags into the trench. Taking advantage of this moment of delay, the sergeant shouted: "Quick, reinforcements to the east."
Two of the four people on the west and north sides were immediately picked out and ran to the east together. Several people, including the people on the observation deck, fired one after another.
"Pay attention to concealment" the sergeant noticed that many of the bandits suddenly raised their heads at the same time.
A burst of arrows fell like raindrops on the embankment and the camp, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound. One of the reloading soldiers had no time to hide and was shot through by an arrow. He snorted and ran out of breath.
Wang Wu had no time to feel sorry for the loss. The sergeant's whistle sounded again: "Hurry, west face".
