Chapter Sixteen: Total Annihilation
The arrival of Gaoquan and Zhangjiashan's Tuan Ding brought smiles to the faces of these big and small old men, after all, they were just militia who practiced a little during their spare time. But Zhangjiashan's Tuan Ding had even fought against Fan Zhongxiu! Moreover, Zhang Juren had invited a coach from his younger brother in the provincial city, who had given special military training to Zhangjiashan's team of over 400 people! Even if we don't mention this for now, just look at Zhangjiashan's Tuan Ding's brand new rifles and machine guns! They even have heavy machine guns that they had only seen in Li Shuai's troops from Nanyang! Those thick pipes, as soon as you open them, you know they're good stuff!
Although Wang Lao Ye was usually on good terms with Zhang Juren, he felt quite unfamiliar with the young man in front of him who had an arrogant look on his face but didn't seem to be very old. However, from his high horse and the respectful attitude of the people around him, it could be seen that he would likely be the leader of this alliance. So Wang Lao Ye, standing at the forefront of the welcoming party, smiled respectfully with a hint of doubt and asked: "You are...?"
However, Gao Quan jumped off his horse with a disdainful face to show off, and then ignored the awkwardness of Wang Lao Ye's face, striding away. The thirty or so guards behind him followed closely into the large tent. The officials from other villages couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh secretly. "Who told you to flatter them so enthusiastically every day? They just treat you like a dog! A little kid can ignore you! You've been flattering all the way to the horse's hooves!" Someone in the dark said this, but it was all heard by Wang Lao Ye. His face turned gloomy and he gave a vicious glance at the crowd that was mocking him, his face full of venom.
King Wang was secretly planning to teach this young punk a lesson, but as soon as he walked into the tent, he discovered that something was off! It turned out that Gao Quan had brought more than 30 people, and except for the eight people standing guard at the door, everyone else was standing on either side of their seats with serious faces! One hand was pressed on the gun! The sharp eyes flashed with intense killing intent! And Gao Quan, sitting in the chief seat, was coldly sizing up this group of stout old and young men! The sharp eyes made it so that no one dared to face this teenager who was only in his teens! Even King Wang, who had just spoken wildly, quietly found a seat in a corner and sat down.
The majestic Gaoquan sat upright with his head held high, his eyes scanning the various leaders below him. However, Gaoquan's intimidating aura made everyone too afraid to stand up to him, and they all lowered their heads in submission.
"Everyone present is supposedly my senior, and you've all been around for decades on Mount Funiu," he said. "Although you may not be able to stomp your feet and make the mountain shake, you're still renowned figures. But what's with all of you having smaller guts than a mouse?"
Before Gao Quan could finish speaking, a cold hum rose from below. The faint sound was particularly jarring in the quiet tent! Gao Quan couldn't help but gaze at Wang Lao Ye, who was hiding behind the crowd and making the humming noise, with a cold smile. A flying dagger hidden in his sleeve shot out with a "whoosh" and pinned Wang Lao Ye's hat string to the wooden beam supporting the tent, producing a clear and melodious "ding". "I hate it most when people fart while I'm speaking! And you're hiding behind the crowd to do so! But even in this small tent, even if you dug a hole and buried yourself, the sound would still be so loud!"
"Hmph" Gao Daquan's words suddenly amused everyone! A few people who were still drinking tea suddenly spat out the water in their mouths! However, they immediately felt a cold and murderous aura behind them! They couldn't help but shiver. Then they became even more respectful to Gao Daquan!
"You guys are really something! A team of over 2,000 people and not one person dares to launch a probing attack on this group of bandits! If your stronghold were attacked, and your allies treated you like this, wouldn't you feel disheartened?!" Gao Quan shouted sternly. Those experienced old men all lowered their heads in unison. Isn't it obvious that Gao Quan is looking for a scapegoat?! Once they lose the battle, he'll use them as a sacrifice! Who dares to be the fall guy now?! Even if they have a belly full of discontent and grievances, no one dares to utter a word!
"Strong General" Wang and his over 200 troops will be the vanguard for a probing attack on the well-prepared Red Bandits! Everyone knows this is just a case of using someone else's knife to kill, but no one dares to say anything out loud. After all, it wasn't their own men who were driven to the front lines! Moreover, the elite guards and brand-new rifles surrounding them made them deeply understand that their lives were not in their own hands at this moment, but rather decided by the young killing god before their eyes!
A team of over 200 people lined up in a sparse formation, standing in a wide open space in front of Lijiazhuang. This was a rare good land that symbolized identity within the Funiu Mountains, and perhaps today would be their burial ground! However, they did not dare to resist! Behind them, seven machine guns with black muzzles were exposed, and the robust and sturdy men holding big knives and shotguns were not joking around! If they dared not to advance, their fate would be to be swept away by a row of machine guns!
Wang Lao San, standing in the team, was trembling with fear and regretting that he had trusted something evil today. He didn't listen to his wife's advice and came here to risk his life for just two dollars! According to the old people in the village, fighting bandits is like shooting birds with a shotgun - with one command, a group of people would charge forward! As long as they drank the fairy maiden's talisman water beforehand, knives and guns wouldn't be able to harm them. But now he was experiencing firsthand that things weren't so simple on the battlefield! The extremely tense and quiet atmosphere before the battle made his head spin, and the steel gun in his hand was soaked with sweat. The moving shadows in front of him were clearly telling them that they didn't fear their attack at all!
Suddenly, the signal cannon set up on the left wing hill was fired with a loud "boom"! A group of people shouted slogans such as "Three Auntie bless us! Knives and guns won't get in!" under the leadership of several "Fairy Aunties" wearing yellow clothes, and rushed frantically towards Li's village! Everyone was shouting hoarsely to dispel their own fears! The earth cannons behind them continuously fired huge iron cannonballs! The round objects whizzed through the air towards the distant enemy, then heavily pounded a cloud of dust on the enemy's position! Wang Lao San was so excited that he could even feel his own heartbeat! He charged forward frantically! Shouted frantically! In the team, some people kept shooting fire guns at the deep trenches on the opposite side! The "bang bang" sound and white smoke continued to envelop the advancing troops!
Just as they felt victory was within their grasp, a group of agile figures suddenly emerged from the opposing trenches, and three or four fierce fire snakes instantly engulfed their troops! Wang Lao San's advancing figure froze in place, his eyes wide open as he stared at those guys who were still spewing out flames. He felt his body becoming heavier and heavier, and himself leaning backwards. When he looked down at his lower body with a dazed consciousness, blood gushed out like a burst dam, violently spraying onto his severed upper body, feeling so painful, the red blood filling his vision, on his hands, pants, clothes, and even the shoes his wife had carefully made for him that morning...
Two hundred people were nailed alive to the front of Lijiazhuang in less than three minutes, on that good land they had all been coveting for a long time. At this moment, those old masters who had seen a lot in Fowei Mountain were stunned! This shock was no less than that of African natives seeing 3,000 strong and robust warriors being annihilated by only 30 or 40 colonial police with machine guns! Nor was it inferior to the shock of the British being killed by the Germans with machine guns on the Somme River battlefield, with 30,000 to 40,000 casualties in one day!
After experiencing the lethality of modern weapons for the first time, they were all stunned for a long time! Even Wang Lao Ye, who was severely injured, was no exception! What he felt first was not sadness or heartache, but a shocking feeling between the rapid contractions of his heart! However, only Gao Quan looked on coldly, because this was part of his plan, the political commissar's plan to use him as an insider, and the night raid plan had long been abandoned in his mind! He just wanted to give these aborigines who lived in Funiu Mountain an impression! The Red Army is invincible!
After everyone was terrified and shirking responsibility, Gao Quanwan could only comfort the wounded Wang Lao Ye and follow the will of the people, deciding to fight again tomorrow! Moreover, the more than 2,000 troops retreated over 40 miles under Gao's suggestion, almost back to Wang Lao Ye's stronghold, where they could defend themselves if anything happened. The Red Army's display of firepower during the day made them feel that any outdoor location was unsafe. If not for Wang Lao Ye being afraid that his men would be uncontrollable after entering the stronghold due to their heavy casualties today, they probably would have entered the stronghold already! However, Gao Quanwan took more than 30 guards and moved into Wang Lao Ye's home instead!
The document of office is so shameless! Because I didn't register, the draft I wrote today was actually locked up! It forced me to download another domestic WPS document! Domestic ones are still good!
