Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 610: Blood-stained Grand Canyon

The Han Tie Department of the Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps of the ** Division and the 3rd Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 4th Brigade suddenly received an order from the regiment headquarters in Jiazhuang, the hinterland of Yimeng Mountain, and urgently returned to rebuild. The troops concentrated in the direction of Pingyi County. In order to arrive on time, Battalion Commander Gu Dashan

To the finger

Determined the location, led the battalion of more than 1,200 officers and soldiers, and carried a large amount of gold and silver treasures seized from Sun Wanwan in Jizhuang. Under the leadership of two guides, they decided to climb over Guimengding and take a shortcut to Pingyi.

.(Baidu search,)

When the troops were resting in a canyon, two guides suddenly disappeared. The front and rear exits of the canyon were blocked, and the troops were surrounded by bandits. At this time, the troops were still concentrated and rushing forward, trying to open the gap. Gu Dashan shouted desperately to let them go.

All the personnel spread out, looking for terrain where they could hide. However, a large number of grenades were dropped from the cliffs on both sides.

The fire was shining, the smoke was filling, shrapnel was flying, and the indistinguishable explosions echoed dullly in the canyon. Gu Dashan watched helplessly as his soldiers fell in pieces under the roaring shrapnel.

It was so sudden that the soldiers had no concealment at all. The young body was torn apart by shrapnel and fell into a pool of blood.

The grenades continued to be thrown down indiscriminately. The bandits were condescending and played very skillfully. No one could be seen at all, and they did not poke their heads to shoot. There were only grenades flying all over the sky, carrying the smell of death, taking away the soldiers' lives.

Life, Gu Dashan's face was pale, his left shoulder was hit by a piece of shrapnel, and it was dripping with blood.

He knew very well that he had fallen into the encirclement of bandits. Under the extremely unfavorable terrain, there was no possibility for the troops to break out. If they rushed up, they would only be a living target for the bandits. Moreover, he had no chance of throwing grenades from the bandits.

Judging from the density, the number of bandits who ambushed them would not be less than 3,000.

At the critical moment, the combat quality of the old company was seen. The first company and the machine gun company did not panic when they encountered a sudden attack. They ran around with minimal casualties. They all found cover nearby when the first wave of grenades exploded.

They started to fight back, but the cliffs on both sides were too steep and the bandits could not be seen at all. They were in an extremely passive state and could not survive the beating.

The commander of the machine gun company was so furious that he ordered to set up mortars and shell the areas where grenades were densest. This worked. Dozens of bandits were blown up from the top of the cliff by the exploding shells. However,

Their counterattack was limited to this. After the bandits discovered the firepower that was very threatening to them, they immediately focused on mortars.

This time, the bandits used light and heavy machine guns, grenades and bundles of gunfire, and they hit like raindrops. There was a violent explosion, dark red firelight and gunpowder smoke rose, and the exploded gravel flew all over the sky, forming a

The most fatal damage to the soldiers was that eight of the ten mortars were blown up, and nearly a hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The company commander's right leg was blown off. He crawled towards a mortar with difficulty. Behind him was a trail of dark red blood. A seriously injured soldier barely leaned on the rock and stuffed the shell into the muzzle.

The two mortars roared angrily again, and the twenty or so surviving soldiers used these two mortars to continuously fire shells onto the cliff. From time to time, soldiers fell, but none of this affected them.

Others.

The bandits who originally thought they were in complete control of the situation were enraged. These two mortars, which could not be defeated or exploded, caused dozens of casualties to them. The more violent rain of bullets and grenades carried the bandits'

Cruelty and evil came at once, and the concealed area of ​​the machine gun battery was shrouded in fire and gunpowder smoke.

The gunpowder smoke was blown away by the cold wind, and there was no more gunfire. Gu Dashan was behind a stone not far away. Looking at this tragic scene, several deep wounds and a piece of shrapnel were added to his body.

, inserted diagonally into his abdomen, the guards were busy bandaging him, and the purple intestines slipped out of the body from the huge wound. Gu Dashan gasped with difficulty. The scene just now made his heart feel like it was torn apart.

Severe pain.

A machine gun battery is gone. What kind of battle is this? The bandits are still attacking like crazy, but the soldiers can't even find the bandits. The bandits are very cleverly hidden, and no one has exposed his head.

Come on, the canyon, which is no more than 200 meters wide and no more than 2,000 meters long, was blasted into a land of death by countless grenades and bundles of ammunition. Only two hours after the battle began, there were more than 700 soldiers.

, fell in a pool of blood.

The moment Gu Dashan encountered the ambush, he realized that these were no ordinary bandits. The tactics they adopted were very clever. The choice of ambush location and timing of attack were not something that untrained bandits could do, especially

This move of sealing the exits at both ends of the canyon is even more vicious. The bandits' intention is to wipe out all their troops here.

He immediately sent a telegram to the regiment headquarters, "Regiment Commander, on the way back to Pingyi, our battalion was suddenly ambushed by a large number of bandits in an unknown canyon about ten kilometers away from the western foot of Guimengding. The terrain here is extremely dangerous to me.

Unfavorable, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the exits at both ends of the valley were blocked.

The bandits have assumed that the base is blocked and there is no possibility of a breakout. Our troops plan to stay in place and wait for reinforcements. In addition, this group of bandits is by no means an ordinary bandit. They are very military-savvy, well-commanded and well-trained. I will reinforce the troops.

We should be vigilant, the commander of the first battalion, Gu Dashan."

Not long after the telegram was sent, Battalion Commander Gu Dashan was seriously injured and died in action. The radio station was also blown up by the ensuing grenade. His superiors could no longer get any news from the battalion. Gu Dashan could not close his eyes. As he lay dying,

, he was full of reluctance, and fought against the little devils many times without hurting a single hair. Unexpectedly, he would be defeated here today, and more than 1,200 brave soldiers were implicated. He was regretful and unwilling,

Leaving with regret.

The battle raged all night long, with gunshots and explosions ringing all night long. The flames of the explosions illuminated the dark canyon from time to time. In the firelight, the figures of the soldiers covered in blood were as solid as rocks. How many comrades and soldiers fell around them?

Good brother, my heart is numb and I can only move mechanically.

Operate, shoot the bullets in the gun barrel at the enemy on the opposite side, even if it misses, it is still the roar of a soldier. The *** division is such a force, even if there is the last soldier left, as long as he can still buckle

If you pull the trigger, you won't put down the gun and fight to the end until your last breath.

Whenever a burst of gunpowder smoke dissipates and the canyon falls into silence, the bandits howl and rush over. They think there are no more living people in the canyon, and bullets will be fired, knocking down the smug bandits, leaving dozens of bandits behind.

A corpse was withdrawn like an ebbing tide, followed by another burst of crazy grenades and gunshots.

After going back and forth so many times, the bandits almost doubted their own eyes. Are they facing people? So many grenades and guns, even a pile of iron blocks, should be blown into several pieces. The canyon has been turned upside down.

How come there are still people alive after killing a few of them? Why can't they fight and kill all these soldiers? An instinctive awe quietly spreads in the hearts of the bandits.

The morning sun quietly climbed up into the sky in southwest Shandong, its brilliant rays of light reflected the green pines and cypresses all over the mountain. As a dying soldier pulled off the cluster grenade on his body, he died together with the dozen bandits who surrounded him. A huge explosion

The sound echoed for a long time in the canyon and pine forest, and spread to the distance like rolling thunder. The battle was over.

There was a deep crater on the ground, and a military cap with bullet holes was half-hidden in the mud. There were more than a dozen corpses of bandits scattered around. Thousands of bandits who surrounded them were so frightened that they lay on the ground.

I didn't dare to move for a long time, until the smoke cleared and there was no more sound in the canyon.

These bandits walked into the canyon fearfully without shouting. Every bandit was on tenterhooks, fearing that fatal bullets would be fired from behind the rock. It was not until they searched the entire canyon and found no one alive that the bandits finally

I felt truly relieved when the corpses of the soldiers paved the canyon's land soaked in blood.

Liu Motou proudly stroked his bald head, with a proud smile on his ferocious face. He stretched out his hand and patted the face next to him. He was a short middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and laughing wildly.

Said: "Mr. Wang

Sir, you are Zhuge Liang, my Liu Motou. You are a master of clever calculations. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to take advantage of us. These Central Army troops are very tough. I have more than 8,000 people and have been chewing them all night.

, go down and have a look.”

Mr. Wang smiled modestly. Liu Motou, who had already strode off the cliff, did not see it. The moment he turned around, the modesty on Mr. Wang's face suddenly disappeared, and a sarcastic and contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked down on this person.

Bandit leader, with eight

Thousands of people took advantage of the location and adopted tactics such as ambushes, intensive grenade and gunfire attacks, and blocking the front and rear exits. They fought against more than a thousand people and fought for a whole night, losing more than 800 lives.

Can this be considered a victory?

Mr. Wang thought for a while and then followed Liu Motou down the mountain. He knew that with this battle, he had a firm foothold and a place in this bandit den. Liu Motou did not have as much success as Mr. Wang thought.

, in his opinion, the death of hundreds of people is nothing. What he wants is the result. As long as these Central Army troops are killed, no matter how many people die, it will be worth it.

When Gu Dashan's troops broke into the Sun family compound, Liu Motou's informant in Qizhuang Town sent this information to Liu Motou's lair in Baodugu. Liu Motou took this information

, stroking his bald head and kept chattering, he and Sun Wanwan were brothers. Knowing this old guy's family background, he could buy the entire Linyi City.

Over the years, he has benefited a lot from Sun Wanwan. The two have close contact, and Sun Wanwan has become Liu Motou's spy at the foot of the mountain. If there is any trouble near Linyi, Liu Motou knows about it.

People rely on each other. Based on this and the relationship with Sun Wanwan, Liu Motou was unable to touch Sun Wanwan's huge wealth even though he was coveting it.

Now the situation has changed, and all the wealth has fallen into the hands of the central army. This makes Liu Motou feel very uncomfortable. However, it is a battalion of regular troops and cannons. He does not dare to act rashly, even with greedy eyes.

In a hurry, he was running around like a donkey, unable to make up his mind.
