Compared with the more than 50 bandits who had just been established less than two months ago, the bandits in Baohua Mountain, which are more than five kilometers in a straight line from the ** Camp station, are not that simple.
As a rare mountain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is a mountain with a radius of dozens of kilometers, and its dense forests invisibly form a natural barrier. Since the founding of the Republic of China, a group of bandits that can never be wiped out have gathered on Mount Baohua that have never been wiped out.
In addition to the warlords that followed China, the refugees and scattered soldiers everywhere. The scale of the bandits in Baohua Mountain, under the continuous encirclement of the surrounding government troops, not only did not shrink at all, but instead became larger and larger.
The Longtan Battle more than a month ago once again added a batch of fresh blood to the bandits of Baohua Mountain. Faced with the failure on the battlefield, a large number of Beiyang soldiers who did not want to surrender directly, directly brought guns to the bandits of Baohua Mountain. The scale of this bandit once reached an astonishing 600 people.
Because among the more than 600 bandits, at least half of them were from the Beiyang Army and had certain combat experience. In addition, the advantages of the terrain in Baohua Mountain, the advanced equipment of the troops, and even equipped three mortars that were rarely equipped by regular troops. The combat power of the entire Baohua Mountain bandits is not as powerful as the surface.
After a week of sporadic encirclement and suppression, small-scale bandits with less than 100 people in Nanjing have disappeared one after another due to the joint strangulation of the "Snow Leopard" and the guard platoon of the ** battalion.
The smallest price and the biggest small band of bandits have no choice but to fight. Li Guosheng, the battalion commander of the ** battalion who has already gained a lot of benefits from the bandit suppression, certainly would not give up this unscrupulous transaction and directly put his eyes on the only three bandits left in the territory. The strongest, oldest and perhaps richest bandits in Baohua Mountain, have become the first choice for the main forces of the ** battalion to encircle and suppress.
Except for each of the three infantry companies, each leaving a platoon to guard the house, all the remaining troops were dispatched to participate in the bandit suppression operation. In addition, an 82 mortar platoon, a guard platoon, and a cavalry reconnaissance platoon, responsible for transporting materials, a total of 500 troops, under the personal command of Li Guosheng, he rushed to Mount Baohua five kilometers away.
There is a very important reason why the bandits in Baohua Mountain can circle in the wealthy Jiangze area for so long, that is, the prudence that the boss Chen Dalong showed all the time. The decades of development are because of his repeated prudence that the entire bandit nest easily escaped the encirclement of officers and soldiers and continued to grow and grow.
At this moment, although he had become the overlord with 600 elite soldiers, he had the strength to make the officers and soldiers around Baohua Mountain fear it. However, as the leader, Chen Dalong still remained cautious in the past. According to his previous military habits, he deployed a large number of light and dark sentries around the parable regardless of day or night. At the same time, he also used the connections and intelligence network he had accumulated over decades to constantly explore information that might appear dangerous to him within a radius of dozens of kilometers...
The 500 elite troops of the First Division of the Northern Expedition Army were marching towards Baohua Mountain, and it was impossible to hide the surrounding bandits of Baohua Mountain. Before the 500 elite troops arrived at the entrance of Baohua Mountain, Chen Dalong, as the leader, clearly understood the specific forces and firepower configuration of the ** Battalion.
After learning that the ** battalion that came to encircle him was only a recruit who had been formed less than two months ago. Chen Dalong, who was already a little worried about the ** battalion's excellent equipment, immediately let go of his nervous heart. He asked with a relaxed look on his face to the small leaders in the Juyi Hall.
"Everyone, a battalion of the Northern Expedition Army is invading, everyone tells us, what should we do?"
"Damn it, even a new battalion dares to invade our Baohua Mountain. I don't think they will go back alive. The boss, give me three hundred elite troops, I promise to wipe out the five hundred ** battalions at the mountain pass, so that they will not step into my Baohua Mountain..." Sun Yifa, who had just surrendered to Baohua Mountain and was named the second chief of Baohua Mountain because of his rank of major, stood up directly from his seat and promised confidently.
"Okay, the second in command is indeed a soldier. He is brave and responsible, and has a domineering spirit... I will give you three hundred people, and also transfer the only three mortars in our copycat to you, and destroy all the officers and soldiers who dare to underestimate me. At the same time, through this annihilation battle, let the officials outside the mountain know that the bandits in our Baohua Mountain are not so easy to bully..." Chen Dalong, who did not look down on the combat effectiveness of the ** battalion, nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
In his eyes, he had been through the battlefield for a long time, plus three mortars, and it was no problem to face twice the elite of the official army. What's more, he is facing only a 500 new recruit who had just been in the army for less than two months.
However, what he did not expect was that the official troops he had encountered were all warlord troops with backward equipment. Now, the Northern Expedition Army stationed around Baohua Mountain, without exception, were all Northern Expedition Army with strong combat power and strict military discipline. As for the ** camp he was about to fight, they not only came from the Northern Expedition Army, but also the elite among the elite troops of the Northern Expedition Army...
Under the command of Sun Yifa, the former major officer of the Beiyang Army, the three hundred bandits, directly used the favorable terrain around Baohua Mountain to quickly build a simple defense line. At the same time, the five hundred elite soldiers of the ** battalion also appeared in front of them under the leadership of Li Guosheng.
Li Guosheng had just stood less than one kilometer away from the enemy's blocking position. A cavalry rushed towards Li Guosheng like lightning, and then stopped steadily in front of Li Guosheng.
"Report to the battalion commander, one kilometer ahead is the enemy's blocking position... After preliminary reconnaissance by our cavalry reconnaissance battalion, the total enemy's total force is about 300 people, each with a rifle. The heavy equipment that can be seen includes six light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and three mortars. In addition, the enemy's blocking position is built only based on the terrain and has not dug any trenches..." Zhao Xinting, the cavalry reconnaissance platoon leader who had already arrived in advance and saw the entire process of setting up positions of 300 bandits, reported with a serious face.
"Okay, it's a good job. Platoon Leader Zhao, the cavalry reconnaissance platoon mission remains unchanged, and continue to conduct dispersed reconnaissance. In addition, your reconnaissance platoon should also play the role of cavalry. During the reconnaissance process, you are responsible for chasing and suppressing the possible escape fish of the enemy during the entire encirclement and suppression battle. You must ensure that no entire Baohua Mountain bandits were left to be wiped out." Li Guosheng nodded in appreciation. Then, he ordered seriously.
"Yes, battalion commander..."
Looking at Zhao Xinting who was leaving quickly, Li Guosheng immediately looked at the guard platoon leader Zhang Huxiao beside him and ordered: "Xiao Huzi, please inform all the company platoon leaders to come over quickly for a meeting. Our ** battalion is about to have a meat meal..."
"Yes, battalion commander..."
