Some people were left near the fort to guard the daily supplies taken from the animals.
Most of the bandits rode horses and bicycles directly past the blockade and crossed the ditch.
The team spread out horizontally from west to east, divided into three groups again, and formed a crab formation, intending to crush them directly to the south.
To put it bluntly, it is a frontal attack and outflanking from both sides.
With heavy troops in the center, reinforcements can be sent to the two wings at any time. If the frontal attack in the center is blocked, the two wings can move closer to the center and launch attacks on the enemy's flanks.
Each side formed a column of varying widths and advanced slowly. The bandits in the middle were all over the wilderness. They couldn't even see the shadow of the other side. They were already lying on their horses and crouching forward slowly.
The bandits on the east wing set off first and quickly searched a village near the blockade ditch and blockhouses. The deserted village was completely empty. The bandits who had always set fire to houses were no longer interested. A small number of ordinary people's houses had flat roofs and wooden structures. The mud one also couldn't be burned, but it survived.
How could the bandits be willing to use grenades to blow up those sturdy bungalows...
The bandits rode out of the village and continued south.
The puppet troops who were swept away earlier had the same idea...
The messenger rode to the center to report the situation: "Reporting to the young commander, there is no one in the east village. The people have already run away, and the team is heading south."
Wang Sanzhu waved his hand while riding on his horse: "Continue to inquire!"
The two wings slowed down due to the search speed, and the large group of bandits in the middle also slowed down.
As expected, no one dared to move near the artillery tower. After all, the Japanese had set up a night attack team. In these days, people's lives are like dogs, and no one is a good person.
The bandits in the east are composed of four groups of bandits and the leaders of the Huidao clan. There are more than fifty people. There is no place in the village. Who can run ahead because they have to eat dust while walking.
Dirt roads crisscrossed the plain, and a village located on a hill in the south became the next target.
Looking at the large group of troops to the west, only two or three miles away from the turret behind, the bandit leaders were not worried at all.
As soon as the noisy team arrived at the entrance of the village, they habitually wandered to the side.
Hey, Liu Laoyou, aren't you crowded? Go to the village first and have a look. If you get rich, don't forget your brothers.
"This lousy place... I'd be surprised if I could make a fortune." Young Liu curled his lips. This time he supported Commander Wang and brought more than a hundred of his men with him. The salary Commander Wang gave him before departure made him rich. , half of which was put into his pocket.
With money, he naturally cherishes his life. At this time, he would not go into battle in person. Several of his bosses also carried a lot of money, chatting and laughing, and went to the village first.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they found that the road into the village was blocked. Several old bandit leaders were a little confused. Didn't they say that everyone was in the southern village, so there was no one here?
All of them still hunkered down, using the dead trees to drill into ditches and over ridges, and scurrying obscenely toward the village from among the dead trees and shrubs, occasionally rolling forward, as slippery as loaches.
He shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone in the village, please listen to me. We from the Huang County Security Brigade, if you know what you're doing, come out and let me search. If we wait for us to come in, we won't leave any chickens or dogs behind!"
Ma Liang half-knelt behind the roof bunker, holding a telescope to look left and right.
"Brother Ma Liang, what should we do now?" Mancang was a little excited. The muzzle of the machine gun hidden in the firewood on the roof pointed toward the sky. Just waiting for Ma Liang's order, he planned to get up and hit the bandits outside the village.
"Don't shoot yet!" Ma Liang lowered his voice and grabbed the old sleeve beside the deputy shooter next to Mancang: "First show the enemy weakness!"
The bandits outside the village have broken into the bushes under the leafless grove beside the village.
The nearest bandits were about fifty meters away, and they were all crawling on the ground. The bandits far away from the village were squatting or squatting on the ground, smoking, drinking water and eating dry food.
A bandit leader in front shouted to the people next to him: "Hey, you climb that tree to see what's going on in the village!"
The bandit next to him was unwilling: "Why don't you climb? If you climb that tree, if there is a gun inside, then it will become a living target?"
You coward as timid as a mouse, the bandit inserted his beloved pistol into his waist, took his sights on a big tree, took a few steps, and swooped up the tree.
With skillful movements, he climbed up a tree branch with flowing water.
Hanging on a tree branch and carefully observing the situation in the village.
There seems to be nothing unusual... No, there is some firewood piled on the roof. Is there someone hiding there?
Thinking of this, he directly hung his legs on the tree branch and used an upside-down golden hook.
The pistol slipped from his waist, he reached out to catch it skillfully, and quickly pulled the trigger.
Bang, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the firewood, and the guy hanging on the tree shook and fell down before he could fire.
"Fuck, did this guy shoot himself down?" The audience watching the excitement from a distance couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"No, it sounds like the sound of an old muff..." An experienced bandit immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Isn't it the sound of a pistol? I heard... it's about the same?"
The bolt of the gun was pulled by Ma Liang, and with a clatter, another bullet was loaded.
Aiming at the other bandit who was standing up, he planned to see the other bandit who was calling out the bandit's situation.
boom.
Another gunshot.
A bullet casing jumped out of the gun chamber, and Ma Liang lowered his voice and shouted: "Fire with a group of rifles to clear out the enemies in front, and let the target die for the bandits behind to see!"
Another bullet casing jumped out of the gun, and Ma Liang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Who are these friends outside the village? Don't hurt the harmony of your family..."
The bandit outside the village was stunned for a moment: "Your mother shot and wounded our people, and you are still screaming here? Hurry up, put down the gun and surrender!"
We are the Black Tiger Army. We are here to seek bad luck from the Three Kings and have nothing to do with you brothers...
Liu Laoyao said with a dark face: "Where did you get this bastard cake? I don't care if you are from the Black Tiger Army or the White Tiger Army. If you dare to shoot and injure my brother, that is not a mortal enemy... If you don't come out and surrender, I will catch you." Cut it into pieces!"
Another bandit leader shouted at the top of his voice: "Come out now, for the sake of my ancestor, I will leave you a way to survive!"
Another bandit said harsh words directly: "I'm so impatient... How dare you make trouble for Commander Wang? Why don't you show off your bad behavior by soaking in the urine? To tell you the truth, we are here this time." He killed more than 2,000 people, so those who know better should kill it themselves, don’t dirty grandpa’s hands..."
The bandits continued to curse, but they did not forget the basic tactics. They immediately dispersed, preparing to surround the village first.
Ma Liang ordered to the correspondent behind him: "The enemy does not have heavy weapons. Please remind all parties to pay attention. If a small group of bandits enters the village, let them in. We will kill them in the village. Most of the enemy will enter a range of 100 meters. After the machine gun fires, all units will Fire! We're going to put the bandits in a dilemma..."
The battalion commander's request is to hold on until dark. Once the attacking bandits' left wing is blocked, the bandits in the center will slow down their attack and send reinforcements as expected!
The key goal is to pull the bandit into an open area on the plain, and wait for Tian Sanqi to stab him from behind after dark!
Cold guns appeared sparsely in the villages to the east.
Perhaps because the gunfire was not intensive, Wang Sanzhu in the middle did not pay attention. After all, no one was a fool. It was normal to place a few sentries in the village outside the station.
Seeing that the village to the south was no longer four miles away, the team continued to move forward. The bandits were also experienced in fighting. In the wider wilderness outside, the bandits responsible for reconnaissance rode horses and ran around on the paths between the scattered villages.
The farthest ones have reached the south of Wang Pengnian's village.
This village is the main reconnaissance target of bandits!
The two cavalry were turning upside down to reconnoiter the village. When they were about 200 meters away from the village, two shots were fired in the village.
The bandits were not timid, so one of them got on the horse and continued to approach the village.
This time, the people in the village were not so polite, and more than a dozen people rushed out of the village.
"Who are you?"
"Want to ask grandpa's name? Hey, you're not qualified yet!" The bandit on horseback shouted from afar, taking advantage of his long jump.
This time the person on the other side didn't bother to shout any more and shot directly at the bandit on horseback.
The bandit on horseback had seen clearly that there were people everywhere on the rooftops and in the alleys of the village, so he quickly turned his horse's head.
Ignoring the whizzing bullets, he whipped the horse behind him twice and ran south.
He simply didn't believe that the bullet could have eyes at such a distance.
I have to go back quickly to report the news.
