Liu Yan's 100 men from the 3rd Company beat up Boss Ma's hundreds of men without any resistance.
The first was due to the difference in equipment, the second was due to the difference in the physical fitness of the combatants, and the third was due to the fact that this battle was mainly a sneak attack, which was why they could achieve such a brilliant result.
"Check the supplies and check on the injured brothers.”
Liu Yan was secretly delighted. He was very lucky that this was a fruitful battle, especially since there were quite a number of small yellow croakers in Boss Ma's cave. To Chu Tianyun, this was quite a fortune.
The night was dark, and it was destined to be a sleepless night. Even the villages near Shuiping Weir heard the gunshots from the top of the mountain. The dense Hanyang buildings were like crazy slaughtering machines, and the entire place was like a flood of metal.
The three infantry companies of the 1st Battalion finished their battles in the wee hours of the morning. The 2nd Company had even taken down five mountains.
The First Battalion had cleared more than eleven mountain peaks from all the bandit factions. After surrendering, the bandits who usually bullied the civilians were like fat pigs waiting for the First Battalion to harvest.
Of course, this was just an exaggeration. The single-shot nature of the Hanyang machine gun had already determined its firing speed, and it was destined to be inferior to a machine gun like Maxim's.
Countless bandits had been pierced by 7.92mm round bullets or had their heads blown off. The three infantry companies of the 1st Battalion had achieved great results. For example, Boss Ma of Mount Ma Dong had died from stray bullets.
The next morning, Chu Tianyun stood in the front row of the crowd gathered at the entrance of Shuiping Weir. The newly established 2nd Infantry Battalion had undergone the same training as the 1st Battalion, which was why the 2nd Battalion was developing at a rapid pace. Through the Lin Clan Chamber of Commerce, Chu Tianyun spent tens of thousands of dollars to purchase a set of weapons and equipment, allowing the 2nd Battalion to quickly become a fighting force.
First Company, Third Company, and Second Company returned to the village one after another. A large number of bird guns had been seized. There were also some old-fashioned rifles made in Hanyang. They were just bandits, so you couldn't expect to have any machine guns or advanced equipment. Anyway, Chu Tianyun didn't expect these bandits to have any decent equipment. After the extermination of the bandits, it was time to ask the two Americans out. After all, if they couldn't produce their own rifles, everything would be controlled by others.
In the 1st Battalion's headquarters, Chu Tianyun called for an emergency military meeting right after the battle ended.
Song Feijian, Chen Luo, Zhu Zhiwen, and Liu Yan were the core figures of Chu Tianyun's forces.
"Battalion Commander, the detailed battle damage report has been tabulated. Last night's sneak attack, the 1st Battalion's 3 infantry companies suffered light injuries on 68 of our brothers. 32 brothers were heavily injured. No one died. At the same time, we killed about 300 bandits, seized 300 different kinds of shotgun, and 100 Hanyang rifles with worn rifling.”
Zhu Zhiwen was a little arrogant. After all, it was a great thing that no one died. However, the weapons of these bandits were really not interesting. If they had a few Maxim's, they would be rich.
"They're all f * cking poor bastards. They don't know what's so good about being bandits.”
Zhu Zhiwen sighed. However, he had obviously forgotten that not all infantry battalions were like Chu Tianyun, who provided such great benefits.
"Battalion Commander, when I exterminated Ma Dong Mountain, I seized 20 gold bars and some jewelry. They should be worth a lot of money.”
When he said this, the eyes of the people in the room lit up. They knew that Chu Tianyun was short of money.
"Boss Ma is my savior. At least this money can help me settle my salary for this month.”
After that, Chu Tianyun led the newly appointed company commanders, who were basically the company level soldiers of the 2nd Battalion. Although they had achieved a great victory in this battle, they had also exposed some shortcomings.
For example, some of the hand grenades made by the indigenous method exploded in advance. In addition, the performance of the rifles made by Hanyang really needed to be improved. There was also the mentality of the soldiers. Compared to the accurate shooting during target practice, it was completely incomparable when attacking bandits. Therefore, this needed to be improved.
"Let's end today's military meeting here. Chen Luo, the training progress of the 2nd Battalion must be kept up. In addition, the training ground for the 3rd Battalion will be arranged at Madong Mountain. If there is an emergency at Shuiping Weir, the 3rd Battalion will be able to provide assistance.”
"We need to prepare well in the next few days. There are still two large bandit forces that we need to pay a price to deal with.”
This sudden battle was like a sharp dagger that stabbed the heads of the bandits near the horizontal weir, especially the two bandit nests led by Dragon Snake Mountain and Earth Turtle Mountain. Chu Tianyun's first battalion seized the nearby mountains with lightning speed, completely exposing the combat strength of the three hundred men.
At the very least, there were quite a few bandits on Madong Mountain. However, in this situation where they were completely wiped out, the fighting strength of the 1st Battalion shocked Boss Fan.
Dragon Snake Mountain was located northwest of the horizontal weir. Because it looked like a flying dragon and a ground snake, it was named Dragon Snake Mountain.
"That kid surnamed Chu is really bold enough to even defeat Ma Heipao.”
"Joining hands with Earth Turtle Mountain, no matter what, we can't let this Chu Tianyun become a force to be reckoned with. This time, I'm going to eat your Shuiping Weir in one bite. Those machinery and equipment departments will all belong to me, Boss Fan.”
Boss Fan seemed to see many benefits in the future waving at him, and his entire person grinned.
