Chapter 560 Night Attack (1)
The night sky is so pure that there is no trace of clouds. Large areas of stars are as dazzling as gems inlaid on brocade. A bright moon hangs on the top of the treetops, sprinkling its glory, covering the mountains, rivers, land, villages and fields with a layer of silver.
Wang Sheng climbed the tower in the corner of the courtyard wall. Looking around, today's night was a rare good weather, and the moonlight was shining, with high visibility, and the visual distance could reach at least 10 meters. It seems that the landlords alliance chose to attack Menbu Village tonight, and it was indeed a good day. At this time, the village was silent, and every family had closed their doors and closed their doors, and the lights were turned off to put out the fire.
It turned out that at about 8 o'clock tonight, the Land Reform Command received a report from the reconnaissance and surveillance personnel in Daxinzhuang and Beigoukou Village. The township warriors from the two villages were successively installed and heading towards Menbu Village. On the road, several township warriors who were unknown to come from. This also made it clear that the landlords alliance was preparing to attack Menbu Village tonight. However, considering the walking degree of the villagers and the difficulty of moving at night, it was estimated that the soldiers of the landlords alliance would take at least 3 hours to arrive at Menbu Village. The People's Army had already made preparations, so Liu Qinglin ordered the soldiers to hurry up and rest and prepare for the battle. At the same time, he ordered the scouts to closely monitor the enemy's actions and report the enemy's progress at any time.
Wang Sheng, Gao Jun and other time travelers were also excited and nervous. Although the time travel group had almost been in battle for more than half a year, neither the time travel group's original base, Tianjin or the Qingdao occupied later, had been under military threats. Therefore, ordinary rushers basically live in a relatively safe environment, and most of them have never experienced real battle formations. This time, it can be regarded as the closest distance to the war. Although the rusher is not too afraid of the result of the battle, after all, he is still quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, but it is impossible to keep a normal mind.
Since there was still time, Wang Sheng wanted to sleep for a while and to raise his energy to wait until the enemy approached and then get up to fight, but he couldn't sleep no matter how hard he lay on the bed. After tossing and turning for almost an hour, he simply stopped sleeping. In fact, it was not only Wang Sheng who couldn't sleep, but also the other time travelers, but also local cadres. Therefore, almost everyone did not sleep at this time. They gathered together to chat, play cards, watch movies and play games on their mobile phones, tablets, and the whole Liu's house was bright and very conspicuous at night.
Although it is the middle of July, there are no reinforced concrete jungles with high-rise buildings, no large-scale chimney factories, no exhaust emissions from cars, and no heat island effect. Therefore, the actual temperature is much lower than that of the old time and space. Because it is not hot at night, it is very cool. Time passes by minute by minute, and it is really boring to sit in the house, so it is active in the yard. Although Liu Qinglin prohibits people from leaving Liu's house, he also moves in the yard.
Wang Sheng walked around the yard for a few times, then climbed to the tower at the corner of the yard to see the surrounding scenery. At this moment, people swayed on the avenue in front of Liu's house. It turned out that Liu Qinglin, who was inspecting other villages, had already returned.
Wang Sheng also came down from the tower, met him, and said, "Captain Liu, how are you?"
Liu Qinglin said: "The enemy has gathered in the threshing grounds outside the village, and it is estimated that it will take not long to attack. Let everyone go back to the room. If there is nothing to do, don't come out. Turn off all the lights that can be turned off. If the lights cannot be turned off, cover the windows with cloth."
The threshing farm was just between the fields, less than 2 kilometers away from Menbu Village. Wang Sheng nodded and immediately called on others to hurry back to the room and prepare, but there was no order, so he didn't come out. Gao Jun also gathered all the women in the land reform team and gathered with the medical staff. The time was not long, and the hospital was empty.
Then the People's Army soldiers stationed in Liu's house also came out of the rest room, climbed up the courtyard wall, set up weapons according to their designated locations, and waited for the army of the landlord alliance to attack.
Not long after, gunfire came from the direction of Zuo Village. At first, it was just one or two, but it soon became dense. It was obvious that the enemy had attacked Zuo Village, and the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire. Immediately in the direction of You Village, there were also dense gunfires. It seemed that the enemy was divided into two groups and attacking the left and right villages at the same time.
This is somewhat beyond Liu Qinglin's expectations. It seems that there are still a few smart people among the enemy who know how to divide the troops to attack. Because it is night combat, even well-trained troops will not easily organize combat operations, let alone bandits and robbers. Zhuang Dingxiang Yong, if he concentrates his troops to attack a village, it will not only easily cause chaos caused by improper cooperation, but also provide support to the battlefield here. Therefore, it is better to make changes separately. Although this will disperse his own strength, it will also simplify command and reduce the chance of chaos. At the same time, it can also restrain the other three villages so that they cannot make any moves to reinforce this side. It can be said that this is the best tactic that the landlord alliance army can choose.
However, despite this, Liu Qinglin was still full of confidence in this battle, because the correct tactics required good soldiers to execute. The other party obviously did not have this condition, and he had several aces in his hands, which was enough to turn defeat into victory at Guan Jian's moment.
So Liu Qinglin used a walkie-talkie to contact the left and right villages. As he expected, the enemy's attack was completely disorganized, and it was completely a chaotic battle. Moreover, the weapons were very behind. The number of rifles was very small. Most people used cold weapons, so they were completely a group of mobs.
After hearing this, Liu Qinglin was relieved. The battalion he led was established for only more than three months, with most of the recruits. One squad basically had only squad leader. The deputy squad leader had practical experience. The rest of the soldiers were basically new recruits, and the weapons they were equipped with were only Russian-made Mosinnagan m1891 rifles seized on the battlefield. In the People's Army, the self-made Mauser 98 rifles were equipped with the main force, and the Hanyang-made 88 rifles purchased from Zhang Zhidong were equipped with secondary troops; the newly-organized troops used the seized weapons at the first level. After fighting a few battles, they accumulated a certain amount of practical experience and then replaced them. The eliminated rifles were transferred to the newly-organized troops for use. In the current situation of insufficient production capacity of the Crossing Group, this is the most reasonable arrangement.
However, due to the brilliant achievements of the People's Army, although it is a new army, the soldiers are very energetic. In addition, the battle this time is composed of bandits and robbers and Zhuang Dingxiangyong. Both the strength and equipment are very limited, so they are not afraid. Of course, it is inevitable that the new recruits will be nervous when they first go to the battlefield. In fact, for these new recruits, it is a good thing to encounter such a weak opponent when they first go to the battlefield. It is beneficial for the army to quickly adapt to the atmosphere of war when they are not very casualties and play a step-by-step role.
After a short while, a burst of rapid and complicated footsteps came from the distance. In the darkness, you could vaguely see countless figures shaking in front of you and coming towards Liu's house.
At this time, I heard the continuous "crack" sounds coming from the courtyard wall. Many soldiers were pushing the bullets and loading them, preparing to shoot. Liu Qinglin immediately said: "Everyone should be calm, don't panic, wait for orders."
Although the weather and moonlight tonight are good, they cannot be compared with the daytime. The visual distance generally does not exceed 20 meters. Therefore, Liu Qinglin is not in a hurry to open fire and wait until the enemy gets closer. This way the hit rate can be improved. After hearing Liu Qinglin's words, the soldiers loaded with bullets just now were a little embarrassed and relaxed their fingers that were pulling the trigger.
But at this moment, gunfire sounds were heard in the dark night, and dense gunfires were shot from the opposite side. The People's Army guarding the wall was caught off guard, and several screams and "thump, plop" sounds of human body falling to the ground. It turned out that due to lack of experience and underestimating the enemy, most of the soldiers did not pay attention to concealing themselves, and almost the entire head was exposed outside the courtyard wall. Many people even exposed their shoulders and half of their chests. As a result, the other party suddenly moved and attacked, causing considerable casualties to the People's Army.
Liu Qinglin was also shocked, because he heard the sound of the sound, the other party had at least 10 rifles, which was more than the number of soldiers stationed in Liu's house. Moreover, he used not ordinary bird guns and earthen muskets. It should be the same level of bolt-pull-type rifles used by the People's Army. It was composed of bandits, robbers and Zhuang Ding Xiangyong. Can there be so many mainstream rifles of this era? Even ordinary local troops cannot have such powerful firepower.
However, now is not the time to consider these things, but to suppress the opponent's firepower as soon as possible. In fact, after encountering a sudden attack from the enemy, there is no need for Liu Qinglin to order. The soldiers also knew that they would fire and counterattack, but the opponent's firepower was too strong and they were taking the lead. Therefore, they were firmly suppressed by the opponent, and there were very few gunfires to counterattack.
Liu Qinglin also knew that he could no longer hide his private life at this time, so he immediately ordered machine gun shooting. The two Maxim machine guns set on the left and right towers immediately opened fire violently, and the entrance of the machine sprayed an orange tongue and fired at the enemy.
The power of the machine gun is indeed not to be underestimated, not to mention that the two machine guns fired across the left and right, and the enemy suddenly heard a series of screams, and the firepower was reduced by half. Then the soldiers of the People's Army emerged from the courtyard wall, set up their rifles again, and fired at the enemy. The situation on the entire battlefield suddenly turned around.
