The officers and soldiers killed the bandits and quickly retreated. This was what Han Baihang had already explained. Although an ambush could severely injure the bandits and make them lose their courage, once the bandits learned that there were only more than 200 officers and soldiers, they would definitely counterattack madly.
Therefore, we cannot be infatuated with fighting. To achieve the expected combat objectives, we must end the battle decisively.
The fiercest battle was at the entrance of Xiaodouzhuang Village. Due to the limited strength of the army, the pocket formation was originally prepared for more than a thousand bandits. Unexpectedly, the number of bandits more than doubled, so a large number of bandits were outside the ambush area.
As soon as the battle started, they fought frantically. As the vanguard, the third platoon had to block the pocket formation and stop the bandits. The strength was completely insufficient. Fortunately, Zhou Qing quickly sent over the reconnaissance squad and the special agent squad.
, with the support of these two pistol squads, the bandits were barely defeated.
Zhou Qing saw that the bandits in the ambush circle were dead and injured, and many bandits fled into Qingsha's tent. Knowing that the ambush had achieved the expected results, Zhou Qing immediately issued an order: "Inform all platoons to retreat to Gushan Town and bury more people along the way.
A few mines.”
…
Feng Guanglin was able to escape the disaster because he mediated the uneven division of accounts between the two groups of bandits at the back. When he heard the heavy rain of gunfire and the screams of his own people in front of him, his heart suddenly thumped and he gasped.
He said with a cold breath: "No, we were ambushed by the officers and soldiers." There was no one else with such firepower except the officers and soldiers. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He wondered in surprise whether the officers and soldiers had planned it in advance.
Otherwise, why would an ambush be set up here in advance? Will there be ambushes in other places as well?
But after all, Feng Guanglin was a habitual gangster who had been dealing with the army for many years. He quickly calmed down and calmly realized that the large-scale mobilization of the army could not be hidden from his eyes and ears. Moreover, although the ambushed army machine guns were powerful, they did not have artillery.
From this, he could judge that the ambushed officers and soldiers were not a large force, so he ordered the bandits to test and attack the officers and soldiers. As expected, he found that there were not many officers and soldiers blocking the attack. This time, he was completely relieved, and a feeling rose in his heart.
Out of anger, he was attacked by the officers and soldiers as soon as he gathered his pole and went down the mountain. If the officers and soldiers were still so arrogant, the face of Heifeng Village would be lost.
"Second in charge, it's your turn to take action."
Feng Guanglin showed his trump card. The second boss of Heifeng Village has always been mysterious. Only a few people know that the second boss of Heifeng Village is Song Jingang, the commander of the braided army who once burned, killed and looted in Xuzhou. At that time, Zhang
Xun's restoration failed and his braided soldiers were disbanded and reorganized. He turned from a soldier into a bandit and committed evil for a generation in Xuzhou. Later, he was chased by Feng Guozhang's troops, so he raised his camp and threw himself into Heifeng Stronghold. To this day, one of his battalions is brave and good at fighting.
The braided soldiers made great contributions to Heifeng Village when they attacked and plundered the city.
"Brother, don't worry!" Song Jingang whistled, and hundreds of bandits walked out uniformly. There were exactly one battalion in number. These bandits were not like the other bandits who wore colorful clothes. They wore the gray military uniforms of braided soldiers and rifles.
It was made in Hanyang, Yishui, and there were people carrying light and heavy machine guns. It was like an army.
Following Song Jingang's order, these bandit soldiers quickly formed their formation and attacked the official army, immediately causing the official army to feel tremendous pressure.
"Why hasn't the third platoon withdrawn yet?"
Zhou Qing withdrew halfway and found that the third platoon as the vanguard was still fighting fiercely. He hurried to the third platoon's position to find out what was going on. He was surprised to find that a group of bandit soldiers with good combat power were launching a fierce attack.
Led by the bandit soldiers, other bandits also took advantage of the situation to attack, and the battle situation was not optimistic.
"Are these really bandits?" Zhou Qing braved the hail of bullets and held up his binoculars to see the standard tactical actions of the bandits when they attacked. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded and shocked.
"Platoon Commander Zhou, the enemy's offensive is too fierce and the troops cannot withdraw." The third platoon leader bent down and ran over, saying anxiously.
"If you can't withdraw, you have to withdraw. I will lead the reconnaissance squad and the special agent squad to break up the rear." Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and said: "If I don't withdraw, you will take over the command. You know the company commander's order. Incorporate the militia in Gushan Town.
Get up and stop the bandits from attacking the city."
"No, Platoon Commander Zhou, I'll cut off the rear and you take command." The third platoon leader said urgently.
"Stop fucking Moji, no one can withdraw if you wait any longer. I am the commander, you just obey the order." Zhou Qing shouted with red eyes.
"yes!"
The leader of the Third Platoon shouted: "Third Platoon retreat with me!"
…
Song Jingang saw the retreating figures of the officers and soldiers through the telescope, and couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face. Why are the officers and soldiers so powerful? They still have to give in when they encounter my soldiers. There is no way to run away. He shouted sternly.
: "First company, chase the enemy in a roundabout way and stick to them."
The bandits quickly divided their forces, bypassing the place where Zhou Qingduan was blocking his attack, and followed the retreating three rows, cutting off his retreat path at the same time.
"Let's withdraw too!"
Zhou Qing had no choice but to find another direction and fight while retreating. Fortunately, he led a well-equipped pistol squad. The bandits couldn't catch up with them when the guns were fired. However, after a battle, the losses of the troops were not small.
There were only a dozen people left in the two classes, and under the cover of Qingsha Zhang, they finally escaped the bandits' pursuit.
After retreating for more than ten miles, Zhou Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief until there were no gunshots from the bandits behind him. He sat down on the grass, panting. Looking at the soldiers around him, their uniforms were all broken.
They were unbearable, stained with blood, and looked a little depressed. What was originally a good ambush was forced to be chased all the way by bandits, and the entire army was almost annihilated. They all sighed in frustration.
"Platoon leader, what should we do now?" the reconnaissance squad leader wiped the blood on his face and asked with a grin.
"We are walking in the opposite direction to Gushan Town, so we won't be able to reunite with the troops for the time being. Let's find out where we are now and then make long-term plans." Zhou Qing said in a low voice.
The officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion and didn't have any good ideas at the moment. The group of people walked around the green gauze tent for a long time before they found a small road. They walked along the road for more than an hour before they got onto the main road and walked westward for two miles.
Three miles away, I saw a town surrounded by a fence. Just as I was about to step forward to inquire, a gunshot was heard from the fence, and a bullet hit Zhou Qing's feet. Then I heard someone shouting: "
Whoever comes is not allowed to come forward."
The soldiers pointed their guns at each other and cursed angrily: "Damn it, you dare to attack the officers and soldiers, do you want to rebel?"
Zhou Qing stopped the soldiers from yelling and shouted: "Where is this place? We are officers and soldiers suppressing bandits. We got lost and came here. We are not bandits."
Someone on Tuweizi shouted: "This is Chenjiabao. You are the officers and soldiers fighting the bandits. How did you end up in our village?"
Zhou Qing was stunned. Chenjiabao is a town in the southwest corner of Yongcheng, more than thirty miles away from the county seat. How did it end up here? He hurriedly said: "Yes, our army ambushed the bandits in Xiaodouzhuang Village, but we didn't expect the bandits to gather."
There are thousands of people. We were careless and were chased by bandits. We asked the villagers to let us take a rest in the fort and replenish some ammunition."
The people in Tuweizi were very cautious and said: "You are talking nonsense, how can you prove that you are officers and soldiers, not bandits pretending to be you?"
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and said: "If it's fake, the military uniform I'm wearing can prove that it has a unit number on it."
"Then come closer and let me take a look." The man on the fence shouted.
"Okay." Zhou Qing put the gun back into the holster and walked under the fence. Someone stuck his head out and looked at him for a while, and then said: "Yes, they are officers and soldiers."
"Then open the door and let us in." Zhou Qing shouted.
After a while, the door opened, and Zhou Qing led his troops into the walled area. He found that there were hundreds of people with guns glaring around him. He knew that these people were militiamen.
"Who is the mayor?" Zhou Qing asked.
"If you want to see the mayor, come with me." A burly man with a black belt around his waist came out and said.
Zhou Qing walked with him and couldn't help but ask on the way: "There are many militias in your town. Is there a militia from the county seat here?"
The burly man said: "No, this is our town's own militia, with more than two hundred people."
Zhou Qing couldn't help but blink, and he suddenly had an idea.
