Chapter 15: The Red River Water (II)

"Go up two squads and rescue the injured soldiers." Seeing the six people tragically die under the enemy's bullets, Tian Shi grabbed the iron frame along the side of the car. The obstacles in front of the car were only moved away for two pieces, and the truck could not move forward at all! What's more, there was a bridge deck thirty or forty meters ahead, and the bridge deck was covered with obstacles, and I don't know how much blood would be dyed red.

The two teams of soldiers behind also quickly passed through the gap, fell down several people, and finally ran over, one by one, one quickly fell down like the previous squad. Two people were carrying the injured young man quickly left, but when they were about to return to the back of the car, a soldier behind was shot and killed in the back of the head!

The conversation was divided into two ends. He heard the fierce gunshots of the bridge deck, and the assault battalion led by Guo Huai had begun to cross the river first. Five small boats carried three people and a heavy machine gun to the other side.

A small boat like leaves swaying on the floating river toward the other side, because the water flow rate is extremely slow.

"I'm afraid the opponent will be extremely easy to detect at this speed." Guo Huai looked at the bridge anxiously in his heart, and saw that only one armored truck on the bridge was advanced, and the distance was very short, and the progress was extremely unsuccessful. At this time, he knew that he would attack the enemy from the side as soon as possible and disrupt the enemy's defense could reduce casualties in frontal troops, but only five small boats made him unable to do so.

"Quickly build a blocking position. If the enemy comes before the second batch of people arrives, even if all the enemy is killed, I will hold it tightly." The leader of the first battalion of the Third Regiment was Han Qiankun. When he was on board the ship, he was instructed by Guo Huai that no matter how many enemies there were, he could not take a step back. He would either block it or be stepped on by the enemy's body.

"Yes..." The benefits of training are revealed at this time. The tedious and heavy machine guns were set up in less than three minutes with the efforts of the machine gunner and the loader. Several of the loaders also picked up shovels to slap the soil and built an 80-centimeter earth wall to be used as simple fortifications.

Ten minutes later, the second team of heavy machine guns was transported to the shore, but Han Qiankun also saw the opponent's troops. Sure enough, their actions were still discovered, because the enemy on the second-level defense line saw them.

"Road over and drive them down the river to feed the turtle." Sishui has now almost changed all the military commanders. All the battalion-level officers are revolutionary members, and these people are not afraid of life and death and are full of blood.

"The five newly arrived heavy machine guns are quickly built and cross-fire firepower is used to shoot." Although the heavy machine gun before World War I had a slow firing rate, the selection of magazines was unreasonable and only one hundred bullets was not reasonable, so it could not meet the permanent firepower point requirement. If the opponent rushed over in a gap, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, Han Qiankun used six heavy machine guns on the first layer of defense as a front-line blocking. The other four heavy machine guns crossed the first layer ten meters behind the first line of defense, so in order to place the opponent's breakthrough and carry out a second counterattack.

Just looking at the numbers, there are not many people who are six or seven hundred, but they are still densely gathered together. After being tempted by money and threatened by the supervising team, all the soldiers of Sishui grabbed their rifles and prepared to attack.

"Fight..." Han Qiankun, who was standing behind the machine gun squad, commanded his heavy machine gun to start firing. At this time, the enemy was forty or fifty meters away, and it completely reached the shooting range of the heavy machine gun.

"Ah..." A scream sounded, and the originally aggressive crowd hit a wall that could not be seen as the picture. The thirty or forty vanguard in front was swept down a large area, and there was no soldier from Sishui within forty meters.

"Retaliation..." The assault personnel were shot back. The dense sound of heavy machine guns shocked the revolutionary officers. They thought that the other party had just crossed the river and led their troops to attack the opponent, but now it seems that they have encountered a hard bone! And looking at the small boat floating on the river, he knew that it would be more difficult to eat the opponent after a while.

"Long live the Republic, the revolutionary patriots are not afraid of sacrifice, rush!" The flag bearer of the revolutionary party held the five-color flag and charged forward with more than a hundred people. Under the leadership of the five-color flag, he was determined to break through the iron-blooded army defense line composed of only dozens of people.

"Fight... and pay attention to coordination and support of the machine guns behind." Han Qiankun knew that the other party's commander was preparing to break through with human life. If ten heavy machine guns were usually the other party's nightmare, they were in danger of being broken through. The number of people was too small, the speed of bullets of the machine gun and the number of bullets in a single row of bullets were all fatal weaknesses of heavy machine guns in this era. Although the bullet sequential roster can only take place for a few seconds, it is easy to be used by the other party in a few seconds. If the other party is not strong in mind or the number of people is fixed at the current number, he is completely sure to stop the other party, but one or two miles away, he clearly saw the other party's new reinforcements moving forward quickly, and the target was his.

"Dadada..." The heavy machine guns of the Iron Blood Army used indirect point shooting to extend the continuity of their own firepower. Although the first team of enemy soldiers was repelled after losing dozens of people, nearly ten of their own people were hit by stray bullets. Some heavy machine guns and even loaders became shooters, while some heavy machine guns were loaders and backup machine gunners loading platoons for the machine gunners.

"Captain Qian, our troops come to support him at the order of County Magistrate Cheng." The people from Sishui finally arrived, and the people led the team were the members of the Zhao family in Si Town. Behind them, the people were all militias in Sishui. By the way, the Zhao family's influence was indeed quite strong. Even when they arrived in Sishui, they were still as good as fish in water. Moreover, the gentry in Sishui did not dare to provoke him. Relying on their own people and County Magistrate Cheng's support, they annexed a lot of land.

"Very good! With so many people, their blocking positions will definitely not last long." Seeing that the sudden increase of more than a thousand people on our side, while the number of the other side gradually decreased, the commander here was sure to win.

"Support it to me. Just hold the opponent for three minutes, and the heavy machine gun we just arrived can be set up." Han Qiankun looked at the reorganized opponent's charge, and sweat broke out from his forehead. This time the opponent gathered more than 500 people to attack. Even if so many people couldn't rush, random shooting could break through his simple defense.

"We must never let them rush through. As long as I fail, the assault mission will not be completed." Compared with ordinary local armed forces, even the revolutionary party and even the Beiyang army of the Beiyang government, the only difference between the Iron Blood Army is that it has long-term infused faith and satisfaction with its own life. In this era when refugees are not as good as dogs and warlords and bandits are walking around, death can benefit their relatives, and many people will not hesitate.

"Dadadada..." The heavy machine gun no longer fired at this time, but was shooting continuously. The enemy rushing forward was constantly swept down, and occasionally a bullet would take away the lives of soldiers from the Iron Blood Army.

"Go up!" The heavy machine gunner in the front row was hit. Han Qiankun looked at the front position without looking back, roaring and ordering the soldiers around him, asking the new machine gunner to enter the position to operate the heavy machine gun.

"The battalion commander, it's gone, there are no spare machine gunners, even the loader, and now there are two heavy machine guns in front of them that have no one to operate." There is no answer from the previous "Is the commander" and only the adjutant's cry of sadness like a roar.

"It's gone? Isn't it a human? Listen to me, even if all of them are dead, you must hold on for me! There is still one minute, and there are only one minute later, and there are five other heavy machine guns that can be fired!" Han Qiankun, who was furious, shouted angrily at the deputy camp beside him, and took the lead in running to the frontier's position that had no operation.

"The other party is about to be crippled by us. If we go further, we can drive them all down the river and rush! All the personnel will rush!" The revolutionary commander saw that nearly half of the opponent's heavy machine gun had not started again, and knew that the other party had ended their end. Although they were enemies, he still admired the other party's fighting courage.

"Fight..." Han Qiankun himself was carrying a heavy machine gun alone, and the deputy battalion was also next to another heavy machine gun beside him. The heavy machine gun behind him was about to be set up and moved forward quickly, but now they have no time to build simple defense.

"Dadadada... fight... go to death for me!" Seeing that the other party was getting closer, Han Qiankun didn't care that he was in the front-line bomb rain. He suddenly put the heavy machine gun on the simple defense wall in front, stood up and shot hard at the other party.

"Ah...ah..." Before, the rotation of the heavy machine gun was greatly restricted within the defense wall and could not be fired on a large scale. But now, the power of sweeping away from the defense wall was revealed. Han Qiankun's own crazy strafing alone reimbursed dozens of people on the opponent, and for a moment, the attack team of thousands of people was blocked by him.

"Kill..." The rest of the personnel followed suit and placed heavy machine guns on the defensive wall to strafuse. For a moment, the Si Shui soldiers in front were swept down like a sickle and cut wheat.

"Battle their machine gunners..." The revolutionary officer was shocked by the group of madmen on the opposite side. He was not afraid of life and death at all, and did not care about dangerous shooting, which made him, an old party member who participated in the Revolution of 1911, a little shocked and feared. What kind of army is this?

"Come on, grandsons! Let you taste the taste of heavy machine guns." Just as he changed the row of bullets, Han Qiankun's blackened face showed a cold smile, and he began to shoot again.

"Hahaha...well...I'm worth it!" While shooting excitedly, Han Qiankun suddenly felt his heart silence, and then there were bursts of heart-wrenching pain. It turned out that a bullet had penetrated his military uniform and tore his liver and gallbladder.

"I'm dead and it's worth it!" Han Qiankun smiled slightly before falling down. He's worth it! Military achievements are enough for his children and his parents to live a good life for the rest of their lives, but he can't let go of his wife.

"Juan'er! Let's get married when you meet a good man!" Han Qiankun murmured, then fell to the ground. The blood from the wound gathered together with the blood from both sides along the surface, like a stream slowly flowing to the floating river.

"Battery Commander..." The deputy battalion commander turned his head and shouted heart-wrenchingly when he saw Han Qiankun falling down! But he did not go to Han Qiankun's side because he had to continue to block the enemy and assume the responsibility of his current supreme commander.

"Mengge, we are squatting and squatting on heavy machine guns, you just shoot like this." The situation in front was urgent, and the five newly arrived heavy machine guns came hurriedly, but the position in front was not very dry, and now there was blood everywhere, unlike the previous heavy machine guns that had simple fortifications. If the heavy machine guns were placed on the ground now, because the land was too soft, it would affect the height and the shooting, so a group of heavy machine guns suddenly had an idea. Two people used their shoulders and hands to hold heavy machine guns in front, so that the machine gunners behind could shoot smoothly.

"Dadadada..." The heavy machine guns of three people were fired unreasonably. The huge recoil force caused the two soldiers dragging the seats to hurt their mouths. Some even wrinkled the clothes on their shoulders, and a trace of blood oozed out of their skin. Like them, many soldiers wearing machine guns were hit by stray bullets.

"Retreat..." Victory was already in front of him, but when the third group of five heavy machine guns arrived, the fierce shooting completely blocked the hope of attack. Seeing another team of troops crossing the river and looking at the only three or four hundred people left by his side, he knew that his side no longer had the courage to launch another attack. The bodies of nearly a thousand soldiers in front of him were deterred by everyone. If there were no enemy in front and his own troops, these people would have dispersed.

"Battery Commander..." When the enemy retreated, all the surviving machine gunners and loaders fell to the ground weakly. The short twenty or thirty minutes of battle had exhausted all their strength. The deputy battalion commander also rushed to the battalion commander at this time. Han Qiankun covered the eagle badge on his chest with one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. He knew that this was an action he had discussed with the battalion commander. Putting the other hand on his chest was a sign of loyalty to the Iron Blood Party and the Head of State, and cherishing the glory of the Eagle Medal. The other hand was in his pocket. It was a letter from home and a suicide note! They had made this decision many days ago. If anyone died, the other person would send his body back.

"Boom..." It seemed that God was also infected by the battle in this place, and thunder broke out in the sky, indicating the arrival of heavy rain.

"Fuck it's damn..." Whether it was the Iron Blood Army or the Sishui side, it started to curse, heavy rain indicates the surge of the river. For the floating bridge and the ferry, it is very dangerous for Sishui County, which is a defensive side, heavy rain will block their sight and affect shooting.
