Malan Valley.
At this moment, Malan Valley was completely under martial law by Sun Dianying's troops.
Every intersection and pass was guarded by a large number of soldiers. Each of them was armed with live ammunition. As long as someone dared to enter, they would shoot and kill without any explanation.
All the residents of Malan Valley were forced to flee the village.
Blockade! Clear the village! Plunder!
Although Sun Dianying's troops were regular soldiers, they were never merciful to the people when it came to carrying out specific orders.
In the past few days, several villages in Malan Valley had been wiped out.
The old, weak, women, and children in the village were all driven out of Malan Valley by the bandits. In one village, hundreds of people were massacred.
The sounds of explosions rose and fell within the Eastern Tomb, resounding through the sky.
Zhang Qishan and the others had already led their troops to the entrance of Malan Valley.
The intersection was guarded by two hundred people.
The intersection was sandwiched between two small mounds. On the two mounds were deep trenches, with one light machine gun and one Maxim heavy machine gun each.
There were more than fifty people guarding the intersection, all of them equipped with Hanyang equipment, hiding behind a defensive belt made of sandbags.
"Ha! That bastard Sun has also invested a lot!"
"Second brother, take a hundred men to the left side and finish him off!”
"Sixth Brother, take 100 men and destroy the right side!”
"As soon as my gun is fired, you guys take action immediately! Understand?"
"Lord Zeng, just wait and see!"
Red in February and Black Back Sixth received the order and each led a hundred elite soldiers to sneak into the two positions.
Both of them were the strongest martial artists in the Nine Gates. Er Yuehong's lightness skill was excellent and she was good at using iron sheets.
Black-backed Sixth Brother was even more proficient with his saber.
Zhang Qishan saw that the two of them were in ambush. He took the Mauser 98K and aimed it at a Machine Gunner on the opposite side.
After his right hand was wet, he continued to place it on the trigger. He adjusted his breathing and was about to pull the trigger.
Qi Tiezui asked curiously,"
"Lord Zeng, why didn't you beat up that official? Wouldn't they be leaderless if you beat him up?”
Zhang Qishan smiled lightly and did not say anything.
Bang!
A bullet pierced through the air and shot out with a whoosh.
A machine gunner in the opposite trench shot out a stream of red and white liquid from the back of his head, one of which hit the machine gun.
The other soldiers around him were still playing cards and drinking. One of them had his back wet from the mud and instantly hid in the trench with his head in his hands.
After a long while, he raised the muzzle of his gun out of the battlements and started firing randomly.
However, after knocking for a long time, there was no sound. In his desperation, he actually forgot to turn off the safety.
The others also crazily shot towards Zhang Qishan. With a wave of frenzied shooting, the leaves and vegetation were smashed into pieces, and dust flew everywhere.
At this moment, a group of soldiers appeared at the intersection and fired at them. Moreover, the firepower was so fierce that it was not something that their Hanyang soldiers could match.
At this moment, the officer took the lead and mounted his horse to run in the direction of Dongling.
When the other soldiers saw that their commander had run away, they also ran for their lives and continued to counterattack.
The battlefield was in chaos.
The high positions on the left and right had long been occupied by the Nine Gates.
The machine guns were aimed at the soldiers below.
At this moment, no one dared to resist anymore. All the soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy.
The battle hadn't even reached its climax, and it was already over!
At this moment, Qi Tiezui finally understood why Zhang Qishan didn't kill the officer. He cupped his hands and praised,
"Lord Zeng, I admire you. You really know how to fight!”
Zhang Qishan smiled and didn't say anything. He drove straight to Dongling.
It turned out that the reason why Zhang Qishan didn't shoot the officer was to scare him into running away.
If a commander had fled, would the other soldiers still have the courage to fight?
They were immediately defeated!
Sun Dianying's soldiers were just like the other unranked warlords. They were undisciplined and did not have much combat strength.
Under such circumstances, it was much more effective than shooting the officer.
The car drove out and disappeared in a cloud of yellow dust.
Explosions were heard from the battlefield behind him, and the weapons and ammunition at the checkpoint were all blown to pieces.
Before the officer could run far, Zhang Qishan and the others caught up to him.
The red horses were whipped by the officers on them, but they couldn't speed up.
Seeing that the whip was useless, the officer took out his pistol and aimed it at the horse's butt. Bang! One shot.
The horse was in so much pain that it suddenly lunged forward. Even the officer was thrown into the air in an arc.
Blood gushed out from the horse's butt, and it fell to the ground after a few jumps.
The officer was also pinned under the horse.
The officer watched as Zhang Qishan's convoy sped past him, but he did not dare to make a sound.
Within the Eastern Tomb.
Sun Dianying had already killed all the tomb guards in the Eastern Tomb.
He was resting in his tent when he heard the sound of a cannon not far away. He suddenly shook the tea in his hand and dropped it on the ground.
"What's going on? Hurry up and take a look!"
Sun Dianying shouted loudly. His adjutant immediately rode in the direction of the cannon.
On the other side, the mound of soil was still densely covered with gray soldiers.
They were using a military shovel to dig up the soil inch by inch.
Below him was an old man holding a compass. The old man was wearing a mandarin jacket and had a particularly large forehead.
He had a lock of long hair on the back of his head. This person was the craftsman who built Cixiang Mausoleum during the Qing Dynasty. He was infected with an infectious disease during the construction and was thrown into the wilderness.
The heavens had blessed him and spared his life, but he had started the business of digging graves.
The old man held the compass and searched for a long time, but there was no result.
At this moment, a black ball suddenly flew over from the sky. Seeing this, Sun Dianying hurriedly fled.
Before the soldiers on the mound could run, they were hit by the shell.
In an instant, countless gray soldiers were dismembered into pieces and flew in all directions. A huge pit was blasted open in the earth.
Sun Dianying had already taken out the command post outside Dongling and jumped into the military vehicle.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Sun Dianying shouted loudly, although he was also caught off guard by the sudden cannonball.
However!
He had also been through storms and had seen all kinds of big scenes. He immediately stabilized the army.
Immediately, they organized their troops to counterattack, firing rows of cannons at the enemy.
In an instant, the sky was filled with smoke, and the surrounding trees were destroyed one by one. Other than the sounds of explosions and gunshots, nothing else could be heard.
"Where did this enemy come from?" Sun Dianying asked anxiously.
"Damn it! Who has such powerful firepower!"
"Hurry up and call Han Deqiang for backup!”
Sun Dianying shouted at the soldier beside him.
Sun Dianying could not hold on any longer. He retreated while waiting for Han Deqiang, who was guarding the periphery, to come and support him.
After retreating, Sun Dianying returned to the Eastern Tomb. Tan Wenjiang, who was digging a grave, also rushed over with his troops when he heard the cannon fire.
Within the Eastern Tomb, a group of people rushed out from behind the stone stele. The leader was a burly man.
The burly man held a Browning in his hand and ran over hurriedly. His black military boots were still stained with mud.
"Big brother, where did the enemy come from?"
"I didn't know that there were warlords stronger than us in Malan Valley. That's impossible!"
Sun Dianying said as he looked into the distance with his binoculars.
"General, this subordinate thinks that they won't be rampant for long. As long as we hold on for a while, Brigade Commander Han will be here soon!”
"When the time comes, we'll pincer attack them from both inside and outside. We'll definitely make them unable to return!”
Sun Dianying's advisor Liang Xianlang suggested.
The battle was in chaos, and there were more gunshots not far away.
A group of people appeared amidst the gunshots.
