Chapter 114: Concentrate Firepower to Kill the Monkey and Respect the Chicken
"Kaka..." There was a sound of footsteps, and several people dressed as ordinary people appeared on the path. Two of them had sticks on their shoulders. "Captain, these might be bandit scouts. They walk briskly and keep looking around. I guess they are carrying guns on their shoulders," whispered a member of the recruited team next to Liu Heng. He used to be a bandit scout and was kept by his side because he was very smart.
"How do bandits usually avoid being ambushed?" Liu Heng asked.
"Captain, in order to reduce ambushes, they usually divide the team into several parts, and each part is not far away from each other, so they can take care of each other. They also send several intelligence personnel to the surrounding areas to ensure the safety of the journey before they can pass with confidence. Of course, there are also ways to split the team into small pieces and meet at an agreed gathering point, but in this way, some bandits who are unwilling to follow can easily take the opportunity to leave," the team member replied.
"It seems that it is very difficult to completely lure the bandits into the encirclement. Ma Yaozi (a guard team member's nickname), you go and report the situation to Captain Song and Captain He. Don't stay at the ambush point. We will be flexible and surround and eliminate the bandits during the movement," Liu Heng ordered.
Judging from the cautious look of the bandits, it was almost impossible to lead them into an ambush. Those who could survive in the chaotic times and become a small overlord were definitely not fools and had their own way of survival. When Liu Heng was thinking about the countermeasures, more than a dozen vanguard teams appeared.
"Shoot, don't leave any alive," Liu Heng gave the order. Those who came out to scout the way were either cannon fodder or elite troops. From the first gunshot, the bandits immediately lay down, rolled away, and looked for cover. Judging from their movements, they were elite troops. The enemy was not panicked at all and instinctively made the best counterattack.
"Grenade, quick decision, delay three seconds 3...2...1", "Boom...Boom...", four grenades exploded in the air, shrapnel flew everywhere, followed by a volley of rifle fire.
"Charge down, leave no one alive." After the bandits lost their resistance, Liu Heng led the team to charge, "No killings if you surrender your guns." Several bandits hid behind rocks and were captured, and the rest were either injured or killed.
"Beep, beep..." The sentry standing on the high ground began to warn. "Clean up the battlefield immediately, the bandit group is coming, retreat." In less than 5 minutes, Liu Heng left with the prisoners and the captured guns, and had no time to clean up the rest.
"Who dares to attack my brother at my door?" A man wearing a monkey mask and with long hair tied at the back of his head asked while holding a wounded minion. This man was indeed the famous "Forest Monkey".
"Brother, they were a group of people dressed as ordinary people, about a dozen of them, but they were well-equipped. The grenades exploded in the air, killing half of our brothers instantly, and several others were captured," the minion replied.
"Chase them! If you dare to touch Tai Sui, you must pay with blood." A group of people began to run forward.
Liu Heng led his team to retreat all the way. Half an hour later, he met Song Qingmei and his team in ambush on a ridge. The two teams joined forces to block the "Chuanlinhou" team.
Ten minutes later, the bandits' outer reconnaissance scouts exchanged fire with the sniping team. This time they did not hide, but fired openly to buy time for an ambush for the rear support 4th Squadron.
Liu Heng commanded the sniping team to quickly kill all the bandits who were scattered in front to explore the way, and immediately stopped the "Monkeys in the Forest" from marching quickly. He did not attack hastily before finding out their strength.
"Commander, we have lost three groups of scouts, but according to the feedback, the enemy is not numerous. We should attack quickly, open up the road, and go straight to Huangmaoya," said an old man wearing a long gown, a long braid on his back, and a pair of glasses next to the "Forest Monkey". He propped up his glasses with his left hand and said slowly. This should be the famous "Long-tailed Fox" next to the "Forest Monkey". When he was young, his family was not bad, but when the government suppressed the rebels in the late Qing Dynasty, his house was burned down. None of his parents and more than a dozen relatives escaped, and were either shot or burned to death. From then on, he became very insidious and vicious. Four years ago, he followed Peng Dongliang, who was in his twenties. With his assistance, he gathered nearly 500 people in more than three years, and created the reputation of "Forest Monkey", burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil along the way.
"Military advisor, what you said makes sense. Let's send a small team to launch a tentative attack first." "Monkey in the Forest" did not completely follow the advice of the old man next to him. He was reserved and adopted a conservative tactic. It seemed correct, but in fact it was exactly what they wanted to do to delay time.
"Commander, this will delay our capture of Huangmaoya, and we won't be able to arrive on time as agreed with Jiutolong," the old man added.
"It's okay. We just need to make his nine dragons arrive first. Our pressure will be much lighter this time. The forces that you think can easily break through the Huangmaoya Pass will be paper weak. We can definitely make them both lose. There's a saying: when fish and shrimps fight, who benefits? Haha, I will definitely become the only boss in Gaohuang area this time", Peng Dongliang laughed self-righteously.
One of the biggest secrets to success in life: be receptive to good advice and be good at listening to other people's opinions. By observing various aspects of society, you will find that the more stubborn people are, the more likely they are to be the poorest in life. They often speak in a loud voice and use their voice to show their confidence. The more successful a person is, the more he pays attention to listening. He will listen attentively to everyone's words and speak slowly and clearly.
A bandit who was a king in the mountains, after gaining a certain amount of strength, began to become complacent and forgot about the days when he had to wander around and live in fear of his own future.
The old man stopped talking and retreated to the back of the team. The "Forest Monkey" sent out a team of 50 people and began to attack the trace position of Liu Heng and his men.
In order not to confuse the enemy, Liu Heng's team did not use machine guns. They relied on the more accurate rifle shooting of the guards and the cover of rocks and trees. The two sides fired at each other in the mountains.
For half an hour, the two sides fired at each other. The bandits' marksmanship was also worrying. No one was trying their best. "Monkey Climbing the Forest" also saw that the Du family army intended to delay, so he randomly ordered, "Second Brother, you take your men and take over the opposite ridge for me."
As more than 100 enemies rushed in from three directions, the pressure on Liu Heng and his men increased instantly. "Brother Song, we must hold out for at least one hour before we can retreat in batches." This way we can buy some time.
"No problem. It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon now, and it will be dark in 4 hours. If we stay here for 1 hour, it will take about hours to return and join the main force," said Song Qingmei.
"Brothers, aim and shoot," Liu Heng led his team to block the attack.
