Chapter 173 Zhang Dabiao, what are you talking about? Bring your armored team and charge at me! 3-wo
"Damn it, how the hell are those monks doing things? Why haven't they destroyed the enemy's artillery yet? The armored team, speed up and charge forward. Rush into the enemy's position as quickly as possible!" Zhang Dabiao shouted at the top of his voice.
At this time, the armored team was less than 200 meters away from Zheng Dapao's position. If they rushed at full speed, they could reach it in one minute. However, in order to avoid the enemy's mortar shells, the armored team did not dare to move forward at full speed. Li Yunlong had already led his men to rush up. He cursed at Zhang Dabiao on the side: "Zhang Dabiao, what the hell do you have to complain about? Your armored team's attack was slow, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"It's only 500 meters away, and five minutes have passed. You haven't reached the enemy's position yet, and you're still so damn slow. This is the result of a month's training for the armored battalion. You're really embarrassing me!"
"Listen to me, brothers in the armored team. Ignore the enemy's mortar shells. Charge over as fast as you can. The enemy's shells can't destroy our armored vehicles. Charge straight ahead!"
Under Li Yunlong's command, the four armored vehicles of the armored team did not dodge left and right, but rushed forward frantically in the face of the artillery fire. It took less than a minute to reach the front of the position. Zheng Dapao was terrified at this time. He cursed: "Damn Xue Laosan, you misled me. The armored vehicles have already rushed up, but the mountain artillery has not even fired. Isn't this a damn thing, letting me be cannon fodder? I won't fight anymore. I'm going to retreat with my men!"
Just when Zheng Dapao was about to call for his soldiers to retreat, Xue Laosan had already hurried over with the Fourth Battalion. He ordered Zheng Dapao, "Zheng Dapao, this time I will lead the team with you, don't even think about retreating. If you really dare to leave your post without permission, I will kill you. This time the commander has issued a death order, we must capture Li Yunlong at all costs, otherwise there will be no place for the two of us in the whole of western Shanxi. I'm not kidding you, even if you don't care about your own life, please think about your family!"
The anger on Zheng Dapao's face disappeared, and he shouted at his brothers: "Get up, everyone! You know the consequences if we fail to catch Li Yunlong! Charge at me, I really don't believe that the four of us can't beat him alone. Even if we die today, we must kill all of Li Yunlong's men to give an explanation to the commander. At least your families will have no worries for the rest of their lives!"
Xie Baoqing also knew that it was time to fight to the death, so with the help of the Jade-faced Scholar, he forced several other bandit leaders to follow him in launching a counterattack.
This time, Xue Laosan and his men dispatched a total of nearly 3000 people, and started a close combat with the First Battalion. The troops of both sides were entangled together. The armored squad outflanked them from behind and ran directly into the crowd of bandits, starting to kill them. Just as the bandits were about to escape, the ammunition on the four armored vehicles was used up, forcing the armored squad to retreat.
As soon as Xie Baoqing saw the opportunity, he immediately mobilized two hundred bandits to attack the four armored vehicles, but to little avail. At this time, the Jade-faced Scholar stood up.
"Lao Yaozi, take your men to carry large rocks to form a circle to block these four armored vehicles. Er Gouzi, take your men to stop these four armored vehicles. Hit them hard and don't be stingy with your bullets. We must not let them meet up with Li Yunlong's large force!"
The move of the Jade-faced Scholar was indeed very insidious and vicious. The armored team was soon restricted to an area of 50 meters, and the encirclement was constantly shrinking. If it continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before the armored team was completely surrounded.
At this time, on the front battlefield, Li Yunlong was waving his sword and chopped down two enemies. He took out the mirror box in his hand and shot two of Xue Laosan's men to death with two shots, shouting: "Brothers, the brave will win when two meet on a narrow road. Today, let these bastards see how powerful our independent regiment is in bayonet fighting. Beat them hard and let these bastards remember it!"
Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the first battalion were not afraid of the enemy's three times strength advantage. The two sides fought with bayonets and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat. The soldiers of the first battalion of the independent regiment were fearless and soon offset the enemy's strength advantage.
Seeing his men suffering more and more casualties, Xue Laosan had already begun to consider retreating. However, when he thought of the warning from the Jade-faced Scholar, he knew that he had no way out. If he could not help the Jade Devil accomplish this, he would really have no way out. This forced him to take ruthless action. Any soldier who dared to retreat was shot on the spot, thus preventing the soldiers from fleeing.
Zheng Dapao came in front of Xue Laosan, his face was so ugly that water could drip out of it. He gritted his teeth and questioned: "Xue Laosan, what the hell is going on? I even suspect that you and Li Yunlong are in the same group. Why are the four mountain cannons of our two artillery companies not firing for a long time, and even the dozen mortars are silent. Didn't you say before that you went to the artillery position?"
"Explain to me what's going on. You could have launched a heavy artillery attack before Li Yunlong launched the charge, but I didn't see a single shell. You're even missing a guard company. You must give me an explanation, or I won't fight anymore. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish. I don't want to be cannon fodder for you, Xue Laosan!"
Not to mention Zheng Dapao, even Xue Laosan was no exception. He assured Zheng Dapao with a gloomy face: "Zheng Dapao, you should know what kind of person I, Xue Laosan, am. When have I ever done anything to harm my brothers? Not to mention that this time it was the order from the regiment commander. Even if I have the guts to do something, I wouldn't dare to mess around with this matter. A few days ago, I sent the guard company to help the artillery unit carry artillery shells and guard their safety. Later, more than a dozen mortars opened fire at the same time. You saw it, but there was no sound of artillery fire. I suspect something may have gone wrong with the artillery position!"
"Now is not the time to worry about this. We have already killed half of Li Yunlong's men. We just need to hold on for a while longer and kill the remaining half. Then we can capture Li Yunlong. Now we can say that victory is just around the corner. Let the brothers hold on for a while longer. This time you and I will personally lead the charge. Do you think this will work?"
Since Xue Laosan had said so, Zheng Dapao had nothing to say. The two of them joined forces with Xie Baoqing, organized nearly two battalions of troops, and launched another attack on Li Yunlong.
The reason why Li Yunlong can hold on until now is really thanks to Wei Dayong and Lin Zhenhua. Back to half an hour ago, Wei Dayong suddenly remembered the box of mortar shells that Lin Zhenhua gave him. He brought it with him when he came here just now.
"Platoon Leader Wen, I just thought about it and realized that it is really difficult for our platoon to complete the mission. Fortunately, the college student may have anticipated this and asked me to bring a box of rotten egg fruit shells. We can take advantage of the gap between the enemy artillery fire and fire these six stinky shells. Then we can go up and clean up the mess. This will prevent the enemy artillery from firing, which is a win-win situation!"
Platoon Leader Wen had long heard of the reputation of the smelly shells. Even the Japanese Yamamoto special forces had fallen victim to them. With the help of Wei Dayong, a mortar was quickly set up. Wei Dayong had been trained by Lin Zhenhua for a period of time and was very good at basic aiming and firing.
Wei Dayong did not waste time. He used half a minute to fire all six shells. When Captains Li and Wang of the artillery company were planning to arrange people to counterattack, the rotten egg smell produced by the explosion of the rotten egg fruit shells immediately spread around. The smell was too strong. The artillerymen nearby could not help coughing. Some of them retched due to the stench. Some of them could not stand the smell and began to run away.
Wei Dayong smelled the faint smell of rotten eggs in the air, and he also felt very addicted. He had smelled it several times before, but still found it difficult to get used to the smell. He really didn't know where the college students got this fruit. It was really weird. What was even more shocking was that according to the college students, the smell of canned herrings was even worse and more addictive than this.
Wei Dayong certainly would not let go of such a good opportunity. He called out to Platoon Leader Wen to start shooting at the fleeing soldiers immediately. He thought he could scare them back, but he didn't expect that these soldiers would rather die than smell the stench in the air again. In order to run faster, they even threw away their guns and ammunition, and ran very fast. Wei Dayong was stunned and admired the college students even more.
It was precisely because of Wei Dayong's great assist that Li Yunlong had no worries. However, this bayonet fight also exposed many problems. The independent regiment expanded its troops too quickly, resulting in too little training time for the soldiers under his command. In the hand-to-hand combat just now, the exchange ratio between the two sides was close to 1 to 2. This record made Li Yunlong very dissatisfied.
What surprised Li Yunlong was the group of people in front of him. They were determined to be enemies with the independent regiment and showed no weakness in fighting to the death. This made Li Yunlong stop underestimating them and began to take the opponent in front of him seriously. He shouted to Zhang Dabiao in the distance: "Dabiao, attack from the right wing and outflanking from the left wing. Since the enemy wants to fight us to the death, we can't be cowardly. The brave will win when they meet in a narrow road. The bugler blows the charge, brothers, follow me!"
Under the charge led by Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao, the soldiers of the first battalion rushed up like little tigers coming down the mountain, howling. Xue Laosan and his three men were not to be outdone, and they rushed up with their men, and the two sides once again engaged in hand-to-hand combat! Wei Dayong had also rushed over at this time and joined the battle. With his flexible skills, he rushed left and right, scaring the bandits within a three-meter radius back one by one, not daring to touch his edge!
