The soldiers of the third squad who had repelled the bandits 'attack at the village entrance were resting against the stone wall. The soldiers with injuries on their shoulders had also been bandaged temporarily. As for the bandits who were lying at the village entrance, who cared if they were dead or alive?
Outside the village, Horse Face was counting the remaining people with a dark face. There were only about 80 people left from the 130 people he brought down the mountain.
He had underestimated the combat strength of the village guards, causing him to suffer heavy losses. If everyone had pressed on together during the attack just now, the outcome might have been different now.
"There are not many government troops in the village. Later, we will attack from four directions at the same time. Ma Zi, take 15 men and attack from the east. Li San Er, take 15 men and attack from the west. Flea, take 15 men and attack from the north. The rest of you follow me! This time, let's see what they can do to stop us!”
Horse-Face Yin ordered the bandits around him.
"Squad leader, the bandits have split up!"
At this moment, Li Jiaming's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. The thing he was most worried about had still happened. Facing the attack of so many bandits, a squad's strength was not enough. Now, the enemy had split their forces to attack from four directions. The troops that were originally holding their shoulders were now divided into four directions to resist the bandits 'attacks at the same time.
The situation in Nanke Village took a turn for the worse.
"Quick, quick, hurry up and reinforce Nanke Village!"
Zhong Yu, who could already hear the sounds of intense gunfire coming from the direction of Nanke Village, had no other choice but to constantly urge the soldiers to speed up their march. This was the first time Zhong Yu had experienced the importance of mechanized and motorised troops. Even warhorses could run faster than two legs.
"Bang bang bang…"
At this moment, the soldiers of Nanke Village's 3rd squad had already given up on the outer perimeter and retreated into the village to deal with the bandits. The moment the bandits entered the village, they immediately caused a commotion in the village. However, due to the continuous attacks from the soldiers, they did not have the time to pillage the villagers.
Li Jiaming still had six soldiers with him, and all of them were injured. They were relying on the buildings in the village to resist.
He got up and shot down an approaching bandit. Looking at the approaching bandits, Li Jiaming already had the determination to die in battle.
" Da da, da…"
"Kill them!"
Suddenly, the crisp and rhythmic sounds of gunfire and the shouts of the soldiers came from behind the bandits. Zhong Yu's reinforcements had arrived, and the soldiers of Second Company, Third Squad were saved.
"Second Leader, bad news! Government troops! There are so many government troops, we are surrounded!”
Seeing a large group of government troops suddenly charging up from behind with machine guns, the bandits immediately started to panic. Seeing that there were only about 50 people left on their side, Horse Face knew that he was no match for them. He immediately had the intention to retreat. He kicked away the bandits who were shouting beside him and shouted,
"Damn it! I'm not blind, I know how to look. If you disturb the morale of the army again, I'll kill you right now. Retreat to the northeast quickly. The government army is powerful. A wise man doesn't eat the loss in front of him. Retreat!”
It was up to the bandits to decide when to attack Nanke Village, but it was not so easy to retreat from this place.
"Beat them up ruthlessly. Don't let a single bandit off.”
Zhong Yu raised his gun to kill a fleeing bandit and shouted at the surrounding soldiers.
The bandits had already suffered heavy losses when they attacked the soldiers of Class 3. Now that Zhong Yu and his men had suddenly attacked them from behind, they were all scared out of their wits. They could only run forward for their lives. They hated that their parents had given them two less legs. Their guns and ammunition, which were in the way, were thrown on the ground.
As the soldiers chased after the bandits, they fired at them. The bandits were continuously knocked down, which stimulated the remaining bandits to run forward with all their might. As the soldiers had rushed over to reinforce them and then directly entered the battlefield, their stamina had decreased greatly. In addition, the bandits had lost their weight when they were escaping, so they ran faster and faster. Gradually, the distance between the two sides widened. In the end, more than ten bandits managed to escape.
At this time, Zhong Yu was leaning against the wall and vomiting. He did not feel anything when he shot a bandit from a distance. Now that he walked into the village and saw the corpses of bandits everywhere, how could a young man in the 21st century withstand such an impact? He almost vomited his guts and only recovered after a while.
"Report! The pursuit team did not catch up with the bandits. In this battle, a total of 108 bandits were killed, of which 96 were killed and 12 were captured. They seized 52 Hanyang rifles, 13 Zhongzheng rifles, 7 Guangdong-made 79 rifles, 7 Guangdong-made 68 rifles, 5 British-made martinis, 3 shell guns, and the rest were shotgun guns. 7.92 There were 700 rounds of 7.92mm round bullets, 200 rounds of 7.92mm pointed bullets, 100 rounds of 6.8mm bullets, 100 rounds of 11mm bullets, and 100 rounds of 7.63mm handgun bullets.”
At this moment, the results of the battle were also tabulated. They had killed 108 bandits and obtained a total of 1,800 military points. On average, each bandit was only worth a little over 10 military points. This was even after the double military points of the 12 prisoners. They were really a mob.
However, Zhong Yu was shocked by the long list of loot. It wasn't because the loot was too rich. No! It was because the loot was too rich, but it was just the variety of weapons that were seized. A total of more than 100 bandits were equipped with five different caliber rifles and used five different types of bullets! However, thinking about it, it was understandable. In order to continuously expand their own strength, the warlords during the Republic of China either made their own rifles or purchased them. As long as they could get their hands on a gun, they didn't care what model it was.
As a result, all kinds of firearms appeared. Even the regular army was like this, let alone the bandits!
"What about our own casualties? Where are the soldiers of the 2nd Company, 3rd Squad?"
"2nd Company, 3rd Squad, 7 casualties, 2 seriously injured, 3 lightly injured, 5 reinforcements lightly injured.”
"Alright, I got it. Send the dead soldiers and the injured back to the base first. Also, inform the villagers that the bandits have been eliminated and they can come out.”
Zhong Yu did not have much to say about the people hiding at home during the entire battle. Years of being robbed had long left a shadow in their hearts. It was understandable for them to hide when a battle broke out.
"Listen, the gunshots have stopped! Those soldiers must have been killed. I saw a lot of bandits just now. There were at least 100 of them. There were only 12 of them. What a pity! What a pity! Sigh! These bandits are going to suffer again!”
"I don't think so. I heard the sound of machine guns just now, but those bandits didn't. I think the reinforcements should have arrived. Let's wait and see.”
The intense gunshots had frightened the villagers. Now that the gunshots had stopped, many villagers hid in their houses and guessed what was going on outside.
" Clang, clang, clang, come out, villagers. The bandits have been eliminated…"
A soldier's shout came from the alley. Some confused villagers quietly opened the door slightly to observe the situation outside.
He saw many soldiers walking back and forth to clean up the battlefield, moving the corpses of the bandits and washing away the blood on the ground. Only then did he relax. It seemed that the bandits had really been eliminated.
"Villagers, the bandits have all been eliminated. Everyone has come to the village entrance to interrogate the bandits!”
Seeing that someone had opened the door and come out to check on the situation, the soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs.
At the entrance of Nanke Village, the soldiers were escorting 12 bandits who were tied up and kneeling in a row.
Seeing that there were already hundreds of villagers gathered, Zhong Yu felt that it was about time. He directly climbed up the stone wall.
"Villagers, we are from Sha County's security regiment. I am the regiment commander, Zhong Yu. These people kneeling here are the bandits from the Hairy Pig Ridge. I know that the villagers have been bullied by these bandits all year round, so today, everyone will take revenge!”
Although the official document of the Sha County Security Corps had not been issued yet, it did not affect Zhong Yu from taking it out and using it now.
After hearing Zhong Yu's words, the enraged villagers immediately rushed forward and tore, bit, hit, and kicked the bandits!
"Give me back my daughter!"
"Give me back my big brother!"
"Who told you to rob my family's food, who told you to rob my family's old hen!”
……
"Sigh! Sigh! Put down the stone, put it down. If you kill him directly, the people behind him won't be able to vent their anger."
Zhong Yu saw someone picking up a rock and was about to smash it, so he hurriedly shouted. However, no one in the angry crowd paid attention to him...
。
When everyone was done venting, the crowd dispersed, leaving only 12 humanoid creatures in the open space…they should be dead.
