Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

"Captain, are we really going to let Mr. Xu take command?" Xing Zhiguo was very worried.

"Damn it, I've already said something harsh. Whoever goes back on his word is a bastard. What can I do now? Xing Zhiguo, why didn't you stop me back then?"

"......" Xing Zhiguo looked aggrieved. "I wanted to stop you, but you two were arguing, who could stop you? You even made a bet that whoever lost would call the other 'big brother'. Oh! Zhiguo felt miserable!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Xu Zhenhua asked for 40 men. This battle is not going to be easy. Tell the soldiers to be smart when the battle begins. If the front attack is blocked, the follow-up troops will immediately follow up and support. Don't let me lose money!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, Xu Zhenhua was making intensive preparations.

"Zhu Zi, are there any problems with these people handling the artillery?"

"Mr. Xu, these twenty heads of mine are all backbones, and each of them can fire!" Zhuzi answered naively.

Deputy Battalion Commander Xing had just issued an order, requiring all actions to be under Xu Zhenhua's command. Zhuzi was worried, but obeying orders was a soldier's duty, so without hesitation, he decisively carried out Xu Zhenhua's order and established the artillery position...

"Okay, wait a moment, listen to my gunshot as a signal, you do this..."

After arranging the artillery positions, Xu Zhenhua ran to the attacking team. Twenty brave men were squatting neatly in the woods, with Mauser pistols slung over their bodies!

"Shunzi, have everyone assemble their holsters!"

"Yes!"

At the command, the soldiers installed the holsters on the back of the Mauser pistols. This holster can be used as a buttstock. After a while, twenty submachine guns were assembled!

"Shunzi, when the cannon sounds, we..."

---------------------------

After arranging everything, Xu Zhenhua returned to the front line, while Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo were still observing the movements at the pass.

I raised my wrist and it was 2: in the morning.

When he saw Xu Zhenhua, Li Yunlong put on a sincere look.

"Xu Zhenhua, I think we should just forget it! I just counted and there are at least ten people at the pass. According to the troop deployment, the attackers need at least 30 people, and you only prepared a 20-man assault team. It's very risky!"

Xing Zhiguo was also worried and echoed.

"Yes! Mr. Xu, the enemy has the advantageous terrain. The open area in front of the pass is two hundred meters wide and there are many obstacles. It will take at least a minute for the soldiers to rush through. Many people will not be able to make it through this section! I think we should just touch the sentry!"

What Xing Zhiguo said made sense. The moon was very bright tonight, and if they sneaked over quietly, the chances of being exposed would be very high. But if Xu Zhenhua were to get ready and charge directly, the attack would lose its suddenness, which would be like playing an open game with others!

"Li Yunlong, stop being so sarcastic. You've already called me Big Brother. And Xing Zhiguo, you're more pleasing to the eye than that guy. Let me tell you something today! When you're poor, you should use tactics to infiltrate. When you're rich, you should use firepower to cover the ground!"

After saying this, without waiting for the two to react, Xu Zhenhua stood up, pointed his flare gun at the sky, and with a "bang", the flare shot into the sky, and the sky and the earth were instantly bright...

Li Yunlong jumped up suddenly, wishing he could beat Xu Zhenhua to death.

"Are you fucking crazy?"

In this kind of battle, the only way to win is to approach quietly and kill the guards at the pass silently to reduce the losses. But what did you do, Xu Zhenhua? You just fired a flare. Didn't that tell the enemy that I was going to start the attack?

I knew this landlord was messing around! No, we can't fight this battle anymore!

"Everyone, retreat..."

Before he could utter the word "retreat", Zhuzi's cry came from afar.

"Attention all gun positions, three rounds of rapid-fire covering fire above the target pass, ready! Fire!"

A series of crisp "bang" and "bang" sounds rang out. Li Yunlong knew that it was the sound of mortar shells rushing out of the barrel, and it was also the sound of his heart breaking...

----------------------------

There were several sheds built above the pass, and a dozen bandits were drowsy. According to the rules of the stronghold, everyone had to take turns to be on duty at night. It was not because they were afraid of the government troops coming, but because they were on guard against other strongholds.

Suddenly, a "sun" rose in the distance. The strong light startled everyone. The bandits stretched their necks to look curiously, not knowing what was going on.

Immediately afterwards, a row of flames suddenly flashed in the distance, and a sharp whistle came from overhead. Experienced people reacted immediately.

"Oh no! Someone stole the camp..."

Before he could finish his words, 'boom'...

The last scene before my eyes was several balls of fire exploding at the same time...

----------------------------

When the rumbling explosion sounded, Li Yunlong felt as if someone had stabbed his heart. Damn, how many shells were used?

Li Yunlong asked the assault troops to bring mortars and ammunition, fearing that Xu Zhenhua would change his mind. These treasures had to be kept under his nose at all times, but...

Damn, this is such a waste!

Xu Zhenhua on the other side jumped up.

"Commando, follow me! Maintain suppressive fire. Once we reach the pass, alternate fire and attack in a stair-step formation!"

"rush!"

Shunzi led the soldiers and followed Xu Zhenhua to rush towards the pass. Every 20 meters, a group of three would stop and fire continuously in the direction of the pass until they had used up a magazine of bullets and continued to move forward...

Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo listened to the "tat-tat" sounds of gunfire, their hearts aching as tears welled up in their eyes. A Mauser pistol is a pistol! A pistol! You bastards are using it like a machine gun. Why don't you save some ammunition?

The enemy didn't even see it, and a burst of gunfire went by. Well, the barrage on the pass was continuous, who would dare to show up?

At this moment, Zhuzi's shouting suddenly came from a distance.

"Attention, all gun positions, extend the artillery fire, slowly advance the barrage, three bursts, ready, fire!"

Li Yunlong was no longer able to care about the heartache. He counted on his fingers, "There are six mortars in total. We fired three rounds before, and now there are three more rounds. Six times six is..."

"It's 36, Commander!" Xing Zhiguo's voice was filled with tears. In the blink of an eye, 36 shells were gone.

The 60 mortar is not a grenade launcher. Its effective range reaches 1500 meters and its explosion radius is 15 meters. For the Red Army, it is impossible to find such a weapon even with a lantern.

"Damn it, damn it, Zhuzi, you bastard! Xing Zhiguo, go and tell Zhuzi to stop firing. There's nothing left on the pass, and you're still firing! You personally take care of all the remaining shells, don't lose a single one!"

"Yes!"

It was such a waste. No wonder the two of them felt bad. In this era, heavy weapons like mortars were used to attack when the attack was blocked. Even with this, they could only fire a few rounds to cover the troops.

Xu Zhenhua commanded the attack on a small pass, and so many shells were used up in one go. Li Yunlong was heartbroken and regretful!

Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, why are you so impulsive! I finally got the wealth, but I haven't even warmed it up yet, ah...

-------------------------

At the pass, the shed had long since collapsed, and the ground was littered with broken wood still blazing with flames...

Shunzi led his team to clean up the battlefield and check if there were any survivors. After searching for a long time, they didn't find a single intact person.

This battle was completely different from Shunzi's previous combat experiences. It was exhilarating! To be honest, when the shelling started, all the commandos were shocked.

Artillery coverage, wow! Those flames connected into a piece. The soldiers had seen such concentrated use of artillery before, but at that time it was the Red Army that was bearing the fire, and it was not so intensive.

Shunzi even felt that when they charged just now, there was no need for fire suppression, as there were no living forces on the pass, and they could easily occupy the position by just going up.

Mr. Xu, who commanded the battle, is so awesome!

......

Li Yunlong rushed forward with a gloomy face and the follow-up troops.

Shunzi immediately ran over happily and saluted.

"Report to the regiment commander. The commandos have captured the enemy's front-line position in five minutes, and none of the commandos have suffered any casualties!"

Li Yunlong stared at Shunzi for a long time without returning the greeting, and his teeth were about to break!

"You son of a bitch, what the hell are you so proud of? You captured the pass in five minutes, what the hell are you so proud of? Let me ask you, how much ammunition did the commando team use up!"

When Shunzi saw Li Yunlong glaring at him, he shrank his neck and stammered.

"Captain, the commandos have used up a total of sixty magazines!"

What? Sixty magazines, that's 600 rounds of ammunition, and only five minutes, damn it, damn it! Li Yunlong was so angry that he was spinning in circles, his lungs about to explode!

"Shunzi, I'll shoot you!"

"Stop it! Li Yunlong, what are you talking about? Shunzi is following my orders, come at me if you have anything to say!"

"Xu Zhenhua, you're here just in time! You're bragging about zero casualties, bullshit! Why is Shunzi's leg limping?"

Li Yunlong noticed from the beginning that Shunzi was limping.

Xu Zhenhua: “…”
