march to victory

The night is getting deeper and deeper, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the sight is getting blurred, but everyone's heart is getting more and more tense: everyone knows that an ambush will break out at any time-although they have fought many wars and vicious battles, they have never In such a flat terrain, thousands of cavalry were ambushed.

Relying on infantry alone, fighting against cavalry on the plains, under the same circumstances, there is almost no chance of winning, unless you have prepared sufficient cannons and machine guns: the Central Red Army has suffered a lot from the enemy cavalry on this plain... Fortunately, now They are at a high ambush point, although the terrain is not particularly high, just this makes everyone feel at ease.

In the rain, the sight is polar, the hearing is not good, and the enemy and the enemy do not know each other.To put it bluntly, at this time, as long as the enemy cavalry slowed down and kept quiet, even if they passed through the valley at Yanzikou, the Red Seventeenth Division would not be able to spot them.

However, just as later generations described Chiang’s Ministry of National Defense and its executors, a group of geniuses formulated a perfect combat deployment, but it was executed by a group of idiots.It has to be said that the enemy made one of the most basic fatal mistakes.

Seeing the rain, Master Liu Yongjiang frowned deeply, but when he was considering whether to send a few people to touch the valley quietly, so that when the enemy cavalry passed through the valley, they could get a signal notification, suddenly, at the mouth of the swallow Less than 50 meters ahead, more than a dozen torches suddenly lit up.Liu Yongjiang was both surprised and delighted: the happy one is that the enemy took the initiative to expose, and the one surprised is what the enemy intends to do?

Soon, the enemy revealed the answer for Liu Yongjiang.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

I saw these more than a dozen enemy cavalry holding torches slowly enter the swallow's mouth, and then, without rushing through, they walked slowly while looking around, and shot around from time to time.Occasionally, it also makes a strange cry of "Yo ~!".

How rich is Liu Yongjiang's combat command experience, seeing this situation, he actually grinned: the enemy is also very stupid, thinking that I can't see that this is their pathfinding stone, in order to check whether Yanzikou There is an ambush.Damn, this little trick has long been outdated, yet someone still uses it.However, this also shows a situation, the enemy's main force is not far away, and the main force will definitely pass by here... Thinking of this, Liu Yongjiang grinned.

Although there are thousands of people in ambush here, Liu Yongjiang is not worried at all that the soldiers will be exposed or take the initiative to shoot: First, under the rain, unless they are lighting torches in the dark like a bright light like the group of idiots below, otherwise, Even if you stand on it, they can't see you; secondly, the order has been ordered a long time ago, and everything is based on signal flares. I believe that the disciplined Red Army soldiers will not accidentally fire; thirdly, you can walk The commanders of the Red Army up to this point are basically promoted by veterans, that is to say, they are all experienced in combat. Then, who would not see these pathfinding stones of the enemy?

However, can the enemy's pathfinder really be stupid?

"Not good! There is an ambush, throw away the torch and retreat!"

Suddenly, someone among the enemy cavalry shouted in horror.Immediately, the torches were discarded one after another and extinguished quickly, while the sound of horseshoes sounded rapidly and gradually disappeared at the entrance of the swallow's mouth.

To be honest, when the enemy shouted, Liu Yongjiang's heart suddenly rose to his throat: he was worried that the enemy would really find the ambush, and he was also worried that the enemy was cheating.But no matter what the situation is, as long as one soldier is fooled and fires in a hurry, then the entire ambush plan will be in vain.

However, it turned out that the Red Army was very disciplined and no one shot.

Immediately, Liu Yongjiang immediately sent two soldiers with ropes down from the entrance of Yanzikou to ambush in the valley for observation—as soon as a large group of enemy cavalry was found, he immediately pulled the rope, and the person holding the other end of the rope would know the situation.At the same time, he sent additional scout cavalry here to expand the security range at both ends of the Yanzikou, fearing that the enemy would go around and he didn't know it.

In everyone's imagination, the enemy's main force has to be a mile or two away from here in order to prevent our infantry from rushing out of the swallow's mouth to attack.But what everyone didn't expect was that the enemy's main force stayed more than 100 meters away from the swallow's mouth.And, when the Pathfinder came back without a hitch, they jumped into action.

The two soldiers went down from the mouth of the valley to the bottom of the valley, and after waiting for less than a minute, they saw a group of cavalry passing by.They were taken aback, one of them was about to pull the rope tied to his body, but luckily the other had rich experience, and thought of the division commander's special explanation: Even if you two can't be sure whether it is the main force of the enemy cavalry, then I will give you two a hard fight. The way - count.After counting one hundred enemy cavalry, if you still can't see the tail of the enemy cavalry, pull the rope again.

So, they counted silently in their hearts: the enemy basically formed a row of three, letting the horses go forward, holding the rein in one hand, and holding the rifle in the other hand, vigilant, advancing silently.

"One hundred!" When the slightly experienced soldier counted to one hundred, he touched the person next to him and whispered in his ear: "I have counted to one hundred enemy cavalry, have you?" The man turned his head It seems that there is a solemn nod.Then, the two looked behind the enemy cavalry at the same time, but they couldn't see the tail.Immediately, the two of them tugged on the rope with great joy.

After pulling the rope a few times, there was a pause, and sure enough, the top was also pulling the rope back.Knowing that the signal was received from above, the two quickly untied the ropes on their bodies, and then slowly climbed backwards until they reached the edge of the valley. Then they lay on the ground with their heads in their arms, waiting for the signal flare to appear.

But after waiting for more than a minute, there was still no signal flare. Both of them were anxious, but there was nothing they could do: they wanted to remind the comrades above loudly, but they were afraid that they would alarm the enemy;

The soldiers above had received the signal a long time ago, but they were in a hurry, and Liu Yongjiang was even more anxious than all of them.It's just that Liu Yongjiang, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, didn't show this anxiety, but he counted silently in his heart-he asked the two soldiers to count a hundred enemy cavalry, not for the purpose of fighting immediately, but as a A kind of reminder, because he knew that if he wanted to hurt the enemy, the enemy cavalry would not dare to be watched by the Red Army. At least, half of the enemy's strength should be wiped out in this battle.If this effect is not achieved, it will be tantamount to scaring the snake. The enemy will not only continue to follow, but also be more cautious. At that time, it will be the biggest trouble, not to mention that the enemy cavalry division will arrive soon.

The east and west ends of Yanzikou are about 320 meters long, and the widest part on the left and right sides is about 60 meters. At the entrance to the east (front) of Yanzikou, the width is about 30 meters. The regiment's men and horses are placed here, not only because it can close the door and beat dogs, but more importantly, it prevents the enemies from outside from rushing in to meet the enemies in the valley. The valley is so big that it can't accommodate thousands of cavalry.There is no response from the front and back, so the middle cannot be broken, only the front can be hit.

But at the west exit of Yanzikou, the width is only more than ten meters.The reason why only more than 200 people including the machine gun company and the assault company were placed here is not only because the machine gun company has powerful firepower, but also because a lot of hay has been piled up on both sides.At that time, you only need to throw the ignited hay down, use the line of fire to prevent the cavalry from breaking through, and you can also condescendingly use shells and heavy machine guns to give heavy blows to the enemy cavalry in the valley.Moreover, even if the rain is heavy and the fire line is poured out, everyone can still sit on the high places at both ends, just throw the grenade down, and ensure that as many enemy cavalry come as they come, they can easily kill as many as possible.

The reason for deploying a regiment on each side is that although the firepower of the [-]th Division is considered strong in the Second Front Army, it is nothing compared to the enemy's firepower, especially the lack of machine guns and artillery, which are so lethal. weapons.In addition, the terrain at these two ends is just a slope, which has nothing to do with steepness at all. The lack of firepower of heavy weapons can only be made up for by the number of guns: if the deployed firepower is weak, the enemy can charge up the slope with the speed of the horses. , don't say that the enemy can sneak away, it's not bad if he doesn't get killed by the enemy's backlash.

From the moment Liu Yongjiang received the report that the enemy cavalry had entered the valley, he counted silently in his heart with a sullen face.When counting to a hundred, it is estimated that at least half of the enemy cavalry entered the valley.Pick up the flare gun yourself and pull the trigger against the sky.

"Snapped!"

A gunshot rang out, and a signal flare shot into the sky, drawing a shining arc in the sky, and then disappeared into the darkness.But with its appearance, the ambush at Yanzikou officially started.

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Da da da……"

"Boom! Boo! Boo..."

Box cannons, rifles, light and heavy machine guns sounded one after another.

"Not good! I'm ambushing..."

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly..."

"what!"

"Help……"

Almost at the same moment as the gunfire sounded, the enemy also screamed in horror.

However, with the sound of the gunshot, the bullets shuttled through the space like a shuttle in the rainy night, and the silver-white luster drew bullet marks in the air, weaving a messy net, and the enemies who hit them were stunned. The horse neighed endlessly, and all kinds of shrill screams and hoarse roars mixed together, making the already panicked scene even more chaotic.

The bullets are eating meat, flying around like a devil's sickle. Wherever they pass, they leave pieces of donated blood and take away a life that was originally fresh; the shrill screams show that one enemy after another Falling, or being injured, or dying, or frightened; whether it is the enemy's screams, screams, or the commander's roar, what attracts is not sympathy and pity, but more bullets hitting him—— — On such a rainy night, no one can see anyone, and everyone just follows the sound: the louder you bark, the more "care" you will naturally get.

To be honest, in this rainy night, if it is only the regular cavalry of the enemy cavalry, it may be possible to organize a counterattack. After all, they are well-trained and have been used for a long time. In addition, no one can see anyone in the rainy night, even if there are casualties But the place is not small, and you can call your subordinates to gather here.But they shouldn't, they shouldn't gather all those horse bandits and bandits and temporarily incorporate them into their own team. In this way, it seems that the team has grown stronger, but in fact it is like a mob. When it comes to blocking, it can only add chaos to them.

Therefore, from the moment the gunshots sounded to the final annihilation, not to mention organizing a temporary counterattack, even if the subordinates wanted to protect the chief, they were smashed by these mobs.

And when the guns of the machine gun company sounded, everything was a foregone conclusion...
