The panicked security team quickly ran out of the village for more than two miles.
"Deputy Commander, something is wrong. There seems to be no one outside the village!" While running, a company commander listened carefully to the darkness around him. There was nothing unusual about the screams of summer insects coming from far away in the darkness.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly bumped into by someone coming up from behind. He fell into the ditch on the side of the road with a thud. He got up from the ditch angrily and kicked the guy who hit him into the ditch.
When he noticed that the team had stopped in a mess, he hurriedly came to the side of the deputy commander: "Commander, I think we are too careful. There may be no one outside the village!"
The deputy commander turned around, a little embarrassed. He had been busy running away and didn't even make arrangements for the leading soldiers to retreat. Hearing what the company commander said, he waved his hand with confusion: "Why are you still standing there? Immediately arrange for someone to go outside the village to take a look. Don’t fall for...the empty city plan!”
As soon as they heard that no one was there, the several scouts in charge immediately hunched their necks and spread their legs, turning around and searching for places where people could hide outside the very familiar village.
After a while, the scouts all ran back: "Commander, there isn't even a ghost outside the village!"
The commander was a little surprised. He turned around and poked his head out from the edge of the roadside bumper to look at the cottage, only to find that the muzzle flash and gunshots on the cottage had long since disappeared.
The current situation was a bit embarrassing, and everyone knew that this time he was probably scaring himself. The commander boldly came back and ordered again: "Send someone back to the village immediately to check the situation."
At this time, no matter how timid the person is, they understand that everything should be fine in the village, but they dare not say anything about the situation in the village.
Not long after, a few more people came back from the village. Several of them were the security regiment soldiers sent to the foot of the mountain earlier. They crowded next to the commander: "Commander, after we passed by, we found that the brother on guard duty was killed. We killed one, but don’t worry, we knocked down one of the people who occupied the sentry post, and the other ran up the mountain. We also rescued a brother. According to him, a group of unidentified people came to the foot of the mountain after dark. Okay. There were more than thirty elephants, and they went directly to the mountain stronghold!"
The commander was shocked: "Huh? More than thirty people? They went to the stronghold. Where did they come from?"
"Hey, that man was beaten to death. We didn't understand it at all. We have arranged for two brothers to chase him up the mountain to find out the situation. It is estimated that they will be back in a while."
The deputy commander hesitated for a moment: "Have you found anyone else at the foot of the mountain?"
"No, except for those mud-legged people in the village, I didn't even see a ghost."
The deputy commander was determined: "It seems that someone is planning to attack our copycat. Hmm, if I don't kill him, I will have them all. I will head towards the copycat immediately and kill him."
After hearing this, the crowd was immediately indignant and full of confidence. They turned around and headed for the mountain stronghold.
The commander stopped paying attention to his sweetheart, raised his hand and pointed at the distant mountain stronghold, and said loudly to his subordinates who were setting off: "Listen clearly, there are only about thirty of them, so listen carefully. Whoever attacks the stronghold first will be rewarded." The ocean is ten yuan! The other brothers are two yuan each."
Boosting the morale of the security team is a simple matter. Just like combat charges, giving money is the best way.
Ten dollars? That's a lot of money. For bandits who may not be able to get even two yuan of military pay a month, almost half a year's military pay, and a heavy reward, there will naturally be stupid people who are fighting for it. .
Scouting the terrain? Isn't that my home base? It's just a piece of reconnaissance. As for the strength of the opponent's personnel, the brother who just came back made it clear, so what are you waiting for?
The tension in the team disappeared, the bold ones sped up, the timid ones followed tremblingly, and a long black line ran back. Finally, a smart person collected dead branches and hay and lit a torch.
The flashlight also came in handy again.
There was chaos due to the large number of people. The deputy commander had been crawling and wallowing in the hail of bullets for many years. He finally calmed down and began to analyze what happened that night.
To say how capable he is, he himself doesn't believe it. In the past, most of the capable brothers in the team died for their country when they fought against the little devils. Only a guy like him who can run faster than anyone else has come from He was lucky enough to survive on the battlefield.
Just as a soldier, his quality is naturally much better than that of the losers under his command. At least he has seen big scenes. Compared with the ability of an individual soldier, there are really few people who can match him, because he crawled out from the pile of dead people. , more ruthless and cruel than others.
As for commanding in battles, we have seen it a lot on the battlefield. Isn't it just that the officers shout from behind, while the soldiers charge forward, and then create a echelon, a reserve team or something, to play a two-wing outflank?
Bah, there are only two roads up the mountain in this village, and the trail at the back takes more than half an hour to run. It's so far, and it's so outflanked that I just give up.
A group of security guards ran back in disorder, passing by the village. Some of them left something behind while fleeing for their lives. They went back again to pick up their valuable things and headed north out of the village. They swarmed into a formation of varying thicknesses. Go quickly to the village.
Eager to seek wealth, people were squeezed into ditches by the roadside from time to time. When they arrived at the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, they looked at the dead brother next to the fire. Everyone felt calm and did not stop. One by one, they began to climb up the mountain.
"County magistrate, captain, someone is coming up from the bottom of the mountain." The scout remained vigilant and took the people who had escaped from the bottom of the mountain to a room in the cottage.
"What's going on?" Yang Deshi and Captain Liu went out and stood on the edge of the cliff together, looking at the long line of torches at the bottom of the mountain.
"Could it be that the bandits who went to enemy-occupied areas have returned?" Captain Liu was shocked. He had not yet figured out the situation of the firefight at the foot of the mountain.
"Looking at the number of people lighting torches, there might be hundreds?" the scout counted the torches carefully.
"Hundreds? No matter how many more, they are just bandits and a rabble. What are you afraid of? Prepare to fight immediately!" Yang Deshi said sternly.
"But we don't have a mass base. Even if we build a copycat, we can't take over the mountain and become the king, right?" Captain Liu finally said what was in his heart.
"As long as we have this point, we can start work and allocate land to the local tyrants. It is up to me to do mass work." County Magistrate Yang said proudly.
"But what to do with those prisoners?" The vice-captain was helpless.
At this time, Yang Deshi hesitated. He did not expect to capture more than fifty prisoners on the mountain. Too many prisoners was also a problem.
Fortunately, forty or fifty bandits jumped directly from the cliff and ran away!
"Let the soldiers be under guard first! Prepare to fight..." County Magistrate Yang once again deprived Captain Liu of his command authority.
It's not easy to attack the cottage from the bottom up, but it's not a big problem to jump down from the cliff of the cottage. After all, the cliff is not high in the first place, and there are small flats and shrubs on each level. As long as you don't fall directly onto the cliff, It won't be a big deal if it falls on a fallen branch, let alone rolls directly down the mountain.
The bandits usually spend most of their time doing nothing, and have long been familiar with the surrounding terrain. Not long after the battle began, half of the bandits jumped off the cliff and ran away under the eyes of the district team. Many of them were killed while escaping. Sixteen of them, a dozen wounded.
Many of the injured who jumped off the cliff were still moaning and shouting in the dark, which made the people on the mountain village upset and resisted the urge to shoot two more times.
The soldiers stopped paying attention. They couldn't get up anyway, and began to move horizontally around to find a shooting position.
For a while, the soldiers lay down on the edge of the cliff one after another, preparing for battle from a high position, constantly taking aim at the position of the false enemy in the dark.
A fire was lit on the ground below, illuminating the entire ground.
There were only more than forty people in the district team at the mountain stronghold, and some of them were assigned to guard the prisoners, so the strength was obviously insufficient.
The security team advanced extremely fast. For ten yuan, in less than half an hour, they rushed to Xiaoping underground under the mountain village.
The first two people saw that a fire was lit on the ground. The situation was not good, and they would be targets if they stepped forward, so they quickly stopped.
The unknown situation behind is still rushing forward.
The two stood unsteadily and popped forward.
Gunshots rang out at the right time on the cliff, and bullets whizzed past. One bullet penetrated the chest, and another bullet passed through the armpit of the person in front of him, opening the head of the person behind him and covering the face of the person behind him with paste.
The person behind him stuck out his tongue and licked it out of habit, it was hot and salty.
The first thought in the mind of the surviving guy was to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the panic. He gritted his teeth and jumped off the cliff next to him. He had already known that there was a gentle slope below.
Being greeted by countless shrubs, I felt as if nothing was wrong. I was relieved. The ten dollars were gone, and only then did I feel that my life was more important.
I don't care whether they can build a copycat or not, I will definitely get two pieces of ocean.
The rest clattered aside and disappeared from the light of the fire.
Yang Deshi was very excited. He was the one who fired the bullet that hit his chest.
Bandits are bandits, and as long as the trail up the mountain is blocked, they can get there.
The commander at the back watched the team stop, held on to the rocks on the cliff, and angrily ordered to the front: "Why are you stopping there? Move to a flat ground!"
The generals then remembered that it was not easy to get up to the mountain stronghold, but it was not difficult to climb to the flat ground below the stronghold.
A bold man pulled out his rifle and fired a shot at the mountain stronghold, which triggered a barrage of bullets in retaliation.
The guy who retracted his head kicked the guy next to him who was leaning against the mountain wall on the side of the road: "Hey, you are stupid. Hurry back and climb up from over there."
Unexpectedly, the guy with his face covered in red and white paste screamed, took a step forward, and jumped off the cliff.
Two screams came from the bottom of the cliff, which stunned everyone.
