Chapter 56: Great Meaning (2)

Han Ping finally saw clearly in the telescope. A roadblock was set up on the road. Three or four hundred Tibetan soldiers lined up and were waiting. Who were they waiting for? A thought suddenly appeared in Han Ping. Could it be that it was Liu Mingchuan and the others?

A horse team finally appeared in the distance, which was Liu Mingchuan and his guard company. After a brief rest, they set off again.

"Report, a large number of Tibetan soldiers were intercepting him in front." Two guards who were leading the way back came back to report. Liu Mingchuan immediately realized the crisis of the situation. Judging from the situation last night, there was an explosion shortly after they left the previous level. The pursuit should not be too far away. Now there was another obstacle in front. The situation was really bad. Should he really stay in Tibet?

"General Liu, let me talk to them. I believe they will not do anything to me." Danzhu Living Buddha had already woken up. Seeing that things were like this, he no longer insisted on staying. At this time of crisis, the old monk's problem of cutting flesh and feeding eagles came again.

"Living Buddha, it's useless, they are coming to you." After Liu Mingchuan refused, he shouted to the guards: "Brothers, even foreign devils asked us to beat us down back then. Do you still care about these hidden soldiers holding messile guns? Today we will let our minds see the majesty of Chinese soldiers. Now there is only one way in front of us, that is, to fight a bloody road and protect the living Buddha from danger safely. I still say the same thing, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road." As he said that, Liu Mingchuan also picked up his rifle and rode his horse forward.

Seeing Liu Mingchuan and the others getting closer, the Tibetan soldiers responsible for interception became more and more nervous. Seeing that the horses were about to enter the shooting range, Liu Mingchuan and the others suddenly stopped. The Tibetan soldiers did not expect that the Chinese army also had such good riding skills.

"Bang bang bang." Twenty rifles opened fire outside the range of the mezzanine, and caught the Tibetan soldiers at the intersection off guard. After more than a dozen Tibetan soldiers fell to the ground, the leader realized that waiting here was to be a target for people, and immediately ordered the Tibetan soldiers to rush forward.

"Fuck me, it's true that I'm intercepting Liu Shuai and the others." Han Ping also saw it clearly, immediately took out his short gun and said to the thirty brothers beside him: "Brothers, come on, slap them on the butt from behind, so that they can know how powerful we are."

The thirty soldiers immediately turned over and rushed towards the checkpoint. Two "bang" shots, two Tibetan soldiers who were trying to intercept were knocked down, and Han Ping and others rushed to the back of the Tibetan soldiers like whirlwinds.

In the blink of an eye, he approached the Tibetan army. At this time, the Tibetan army also noticed the movement behind him, but before he could react, Han Ping and his friends had already dismounted quickly and pulled out grenades and smashed them.

Liu Mingchuan rushed to the front and was about to pass the level, but he found that the Tibetan soldiers were thundering behind him. With his eyes closed, he knew that this was the explosion of grenades unique to the Chinese army. Then he found that the Tibetan soldiers were in chaos behind him.

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived." Liu Mingchuan roared excitedly and led his men to kill the Tibetan soldiers.

The Tibetan soldiers' confringe guns were far behind the Chinese soldiers' rifles in terms of range and shooting speed. Often, the Chinese soldiers fired ten shots, and the Tibetan soldiers were still loading gunpowder. With the intimidation effect caused by the explosion of the grenades, the Tibetan soldiers were attacked from front to back. Although the number of people was much larger, the Tibetan soldiers could not organize effective resistance.

Liu Mingchuan rushed to the front with two revolvers in both hands, constantly knocking over the Tibetan soldiers who were still trying to stop them from advancing to the ground. The guards followed suit and followed Liu Mingchuan, and for a moment the small team became an unstoppable iron stream.

Perhaps the Tibetan soldiers were brave, but their leaders might not have the courage to face death. The explosions one after another and the constant gunfire made them scare and run away. The leaders took the lead in running. How could the soldiers still have the courage to fight? The Tibetan soldiers scattered without longing. While Han Ping asked his brothers to chase the Tibetan soldiers who were not interested in fighting, he came to Liu Mingchuan and the others.

"The Grand Commander, Han Ping, the company commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the Southwest Military Region, was ordered to come to greet him." Liu Mingchuan, who was in the Jedi, received reinforcements at this time. To be honest, he still felt the surprise, but from this point he saw the impact of his departure on the entire Southwest Military Region.

"Thank you for your hard work, Company Commander Han, how many people have you come in total? You appeared too timely." After Liu Mingchuan returned the military salute, he went in and held Han Ping's hand. At this time, he felt a little bit like a desperate situation.

"Report to Liu Shuai, Lord Shi sent a total of ten teams to greet you from all directions. We are lucky and caught up."

"How are your casualties?" Liu Mingchuan asked with concern:

"Haha, the guy who hid the soldiers was too slow. Without any attack, no thirty brothers were injured or killed."

When Liu Mingchuan heard that there were only thirty people, he had just let go and raised his heart again. According to Boss Liu's information, the nearby territory should all belong to the same chieftain. He had to go forward thirty kilometers before entering the territory of Sanger chieftain, which fully supports Danzhu Living Buddha.

"Okay, Company Commander Han, time is tight now, and the pursuers will arrive soon. We must quickly evacuate the battlefield and rush to the next target, Suo County, before the local chieftain reacts. We will be safe when we arrive."

Before Liu Mingchuan finished speaking, a guard in charge of the rear was reported: "Sir, the enemy's pursuers are coming, less than two kilometers away from us."

"Brothers, let's go."

Facing the roadblock, the pursuers did not dare to move rashly this time, but they immediately dismounted, tied the old long rope to the roadblock, and then pulled the roadblock together. However, this time, there was no explosion, making the pursuers very angry. At this time, another pursuers also caught up. The two-system pursuers gathered together, and the number of people who had more than 600.

The local chieftains soon came to their senses. When they found that Liu Mingchuan and the others were less than a hundred people, they immediately gathered hundreds of people and launched a crazy pursuit of Liu Mingchuan and the others with the Tibetan soldiers who came to pursue them.

Suo County Tusi Sangge is a staunch supporter of Danzhu Living Buddha, and his territory is also closely connected with the Han people. As long as Danzhu Living Buddha enters his territory, there should be no danger.

Suo County is far away, but a river blocks the road ahead. The river water is composed of the snow-filled snow water from the snow mountains, which is waist-deep on weekdays. However, there was a heavy rain in this area last night, and the river water rose, ruthlessly blocking Liu Mingchuan and the others on the other side. It was safe after crossing the river, but the river was so sad. What should I do? At this time, I could faintly hear the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and the pursuers were not far away.

"Qiyuanguo." Liu Mingchuan called this name immediately.

"arrive."

"You have good water quality and swim over. No matter what method you use, you have to get something across the river." After Liu Mingchuan ordered, Danzhu Living Buddha took over and said, "Wait, bring my Buddhist beads and go find Sanger toast, he will help you."

After Qi Yuanguo solemnly put the Buddhist beads on, he stood attentively saluted: "Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed." Then Qi Yuanguo took off all the heavy guys on his body, threw himself into the turbulent river, and swam over the other side more than ten meters away.

"It's time for us now, everyone will tell me. Even if we stay here today, we must protect the safety of the living Buddha."

There were no bold words, only a neat shout: "Yes!"

It is really worthy of being a field force. Han Ping and his men actually carried small shovels with them. Afterwards, they realized that it was actually a habit for them to bring these guys. They dig trenches during wars and bury pots to cook when they rest.

In just fifteen minutes, a simple trench was dug on the high ground on the roadside, and the dug out of the soil had been piled into a shooting bunker. Liu Mingchuan's guards also laid a simple mine array with strings and grenades a hundred meters ahead. The guards around Liu Mingchuan were all specially trained, and these gadgets were really skilled.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the pursuers could be clearly seen through the telescope. Liu Mingchuan estimated that at least six hundred people would have to be there. Looking at the people around him, Liu Mingchuan felt a little nervous. It would be nothing if he died, but the loss of the living Buddha would have a great impact on the solution to the entire Tibet issue.

"Let me hear it all. They are all cavalrymen. You can't be careless. You can shoot me within 300 meters." Liu Mingchuan's most worried issue now is this. It's really difficult for these fifty brothers to shoot cavalry without machine guns or cannons. Looking at the Living Buddha, I saw that the Living Buddha seemed to feel nothing. He sat upright on the ground with his eyes closed, and the young people around him were sitting the same. Only Boss Liu was always among the soldiers, helping with this and that, looking nervously at the direction of the pursuers, and even holding a short gun in his hand.

The pursuers were approaching, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, and three hundred meters. Liu Mingchuan shouted: "Fight!"

After a volley, dozens of pursuers immediately fell off the horse. This was Liu Mingchuan's explanation. He was hitting the horse at a distance and had a big target. These fifty brothers were all good men in the army. They quickly retreated from the shell and loaded the fire. The movement was neat and fast. At most ten seconds, the second shot sounded again, and dozens of hidden soldiers fell off the horse. But the cavalry's speed was too fast. After two rounds of shooting, the pursuers had advanced more than 50 meters. Liu Mingchuan, who was observing the battle situation in the telescope, couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

It is not a good sign to go. These hidden soldiers are good players on horseback, and being approached by them is not a good thing. Soon Liu Mingchuan found a man like a leader from the pursuers, and he actually had a short gun in his hand. Liu Mingchuan immediately picked up a rifle, raised his gun, aimed, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the guy fell down immediately. The leader's appearance quickly got up from the ground. Liu Mingchuan was waiting for this moment. After loading quickly, aiming and locking it with a shot. The guy fell to the ground and never moved again.

In a short period of time, the pursuers had advanced to less than two hundred meters. In the past time, seventy or eighty pursuers were defeated. The pursuers were obviously frightened by this long-range accurate shooting, and the formation was a little scattered. Then Sang Mu replied that the leader who led the troops here was killed. Some of the pursuers were already a little panicked after losing command, but they were still moving forward.

Han Ping also clearly realized that this would not work. The unique vision of the scouts made him quickly discover one small leader after another among the pursuers. After four rounds of shooting, the four leaders were shot dead, and all of them were exposed. The other soldiers who saw this gunfire applauded, and they were not idle, and these soldiers carefully selected from the army were not masters. Now the pursuers have entered the area of ​​150 meters, and the bullets of the big guys have called him to the head.

Tibetans who believe in Buddhism are difficult to accept this ugly way of death. Dead people have souls and a big hole in their heads. What should they do if their relatives don’t recognize themselves if they die? Before they even think about it, dozens of pursuers became ghosts under the gun. At this time, they were at most one hundred meters away from the trench. The crowded pursuers saw hope for victory.

"Boom, boom, boom." More than a dozen bombs exploded in a row, and the pursuers were blown up by people and horses. The splashing shrapnel injured hundreds of horses. The frightened horses began to run around aimlessly, and immediately disrupted the formation. The Tibetan soldiers' confidence was completely overwhelmed. On the plateau, they regarded many things they didn't understand as the power of ghosts and gods. Now they all agreed that the people in front had the power of ghosts and gods because they could not understand too many things.

Why can the opponent hit you so far, and the grenade gun in his hand cannot be accurately shot within a hundred steps, and why does it explode on the ground well? Even if it is buried gunpowder, why can't the opponent ignite? The only explanation is the power of ghosts and gods. The brave Tibetan soldiers may not be afraid of death, but they have a fear and respect for ghosts and gods, which are all innate instincts.

Hula, someone jumped to the horse and ran away. The local chieftain Haske ran away. Then the butler who temporarily rebuked Yangda also turned around and ran away. The pursuers finally wavered the front line and turned around and retreated one after another. Unfortunately, they rushed too far, and many Tibetan soldiers didn't have time to run out of the range of the rifle, and they all became ghosts under the gun.

Finally, the pursuers fled far away. The battle ended in just ten minutes. The injured war horses in front of the position were wailing, the blood of the deceased emitted intoxicating blood, and the pursuers who were headshot died with their eyes open and looked at the sky in fear. Maybe they really saw bullets at close range before they died. The battlefield has returned to silence, and only the war horses are still chirping, hoping that the master on the ground can get up.

Looking at the bloody battlefield, Danzhu Living Buddha's face became particularly severe. He folded his hands together and faced the east, silently muttering that this was to save these Buddha's people and prevent their souls from suffering from hell.

The battle came quickly and ended quickly. After leaving more than 100 corpses and more than 200 war horses, the pursuers returned in a mess. Liu Mingchuan knew clearly that this was just the beginning, and even more difficult things were still ahead.

The soldiers quickly cleaned the battlefield and checked the ammunition. Liu Mingchuan's biggest worry was that there was not much ammunition. After continuous battles, the 20 people on Liu Mingchuan's side basically exhausted the ammunition, and even pistol bullets, each of them had only two or three bullets. Han Ping and the others were better. Each one had more than a dozen bullets, and there were still one or two grenades. They didn't have time to use it just now. Only this ammunition could last for at most a half hour. The ambitious people behind would not admit defeat, and they would still be here. The river was still so turbulent that they could not pass. Qi Yuanguo, who crossed the river and asked for help, could no longer see it. The only hope now is Qi Yuanguo.

Waiting for the hardships of anxiety, Liu Mingchuan looked at his pocket watch again and again. Half an hour had passed, but the reinforcements had not arrived, but the pursuers must not be too far away. Maybe they would arrive in the next minute.

Many years later, when Liu Mingchuan mentioned this battle, he still broke out in cold sweat, saying that it was the most dangerous and tense moment in his life. At the same time, he kept saying that he was lucky and kept praising Shi Da for his flexibility in using troops.

Just when Liu Mingchuan was extremely anxious, a small army appeared on the other side of the river. When they arrived by the river, they got off their horses and shouted loudly, "Is it Marshal Liu?" After confirming that it was Liu Mingchuan, they rode their horses upstream. Ten minutes later, another thirty soldiers covered in water swam over. It turned out that they were also a small team sent by Shi Dakai. They heard the sound of gunfire on the other side just now, and immediately rushed here. On the way, they met Qi Yuanguo. After giving a horse to Qi Yuanguo, they rushed towards him desperately. It was quite timely that the pursuers had not yet appeared.

"Master General, Lu Dayou, the commander of the reconnaissance company of the Third Army of the Southwest Military Region, reported to you." Although not many people came, the ammunition on Liu Mingchuan's side was replenished, and the number of people reached more than 80. What's even more gratifying is that according to Lu Dayou, there should be two identical teams in this radius of five kilometers. If they hear the sound of gunfire, they will definitely come here.

Less than five minutes after the first group of support troops arrived, the soldiers in charge of the alert soon discovered a small team of people appeared in the direction of their arrival. Liu Mingchuan looked at them with a telescope and the guys on their hands. This was another team, which should be Shi Dakai's masterpiece.

Sure enough, this time, Shi Dakai's own guard company was simply Shi Dakai's own guard company. As soon as they met, they broke the company commander Shi Yougang Coke. In fact, they were the first to come out, but they were not lucky and took the wrong path several times. The day before yesterday, they actually went to Liangqu near Suo County. This was not the right way to change. Unexpectedly, they were still having breakfast not far away nearby, but were alarmed by the sound of gunfire. They simply judged the direction and rushed here. However, the grassland after the rain was really hard to walk, and they walked for almost an hour less than five kilometers away.

Being able to meet with Liu Mingchuan, these company commanders have put down a big stone in their hearts. Now that the troops have exceeded 100, the front of the defense is wide enough. With the excellent weapons in hand, even if the pursuers seem to have more than a thousand people, they can withstand for half a day.

Time is tight, Liu Mingchuan briefly explained the task. After everyone distributed the ammunition evenly, they immediately prepared before the battle and dug trenches. Unfortunately, there were too few trees on the plateau and there was no way to set up simple obstacles to delay the speed of the cavalry. Fortunately, with the experience of fighting just now, Liu Mingchuan explained that each team picked out one or two of the best marksmanship and specialized in fighting against Tibetan soldiers. These Tibetan soldiers were not a regular army. If they were killed in the head, they would easily cause chaos.

Even Liu Mingchuan did not expect that it would take an hour and a half before the pursuers appeared again. The fleeing pursuers ran all the way, but after running for a long time, they could not see Liu Mingchuan and the others chasing him. At this time, a large number of pursuers appeared on the opposite side. It turned out that Sang Mu was really worried about his answer. After discussing with Junbo Yangda, considering that Liu Mingchuan and his team were really strong in combat, more than 100 people rushed over easily, this time he simply sent a large group of more than 1,500 people to reinforce. After a meeting of the two pursuers, there were as many as 2,000 people.

The high ground is not very high, the distance from low to top is at most 200 meters, and the high ground is not steep, and it has no effect on the cavalry's high-speed advance. The soldiers who dug the trench saw that the pursuers had not come for a long time, had already started digging holes everywhere at fifty meters in front of the trench. Within an hour, three pits with a depth of one meter were dug, and the soil dug was piled in front of the pit. Although these pits could not affect the roads at the front of the position, how could they

It also plays a little blocking role, at least reducing the front width of the cavalry's charge, which also increases the time for shooting for defense. Of course, these experienced veterans did not waste grenades and arranged more than 30 simple landmines at the front of the position. The way to drop bombs is basically killing the high-speed cavalry, and it will be much better to make it into landmines. Without machine gun mortars, it is really tiring to fight cavalry. This may be the thing these soldiers want to say the most.

More than a hundred soldiers were exhausted by this crazy civil engineering work. After sitting down and resting for less than two minutes, they saw a brigade of cavalry chasing over from a distance. The soldiers were constantly glad that they were moving fast enough, and all their fatigue was thrown behind in an instant, and they entered the position one after another to make final preparations before the war.

The pursuers stopped six hundred meters away. It was obvious that there must be masters in the command. The war horses had a 300-meter run-up space and a 300-meter sprint distance. The opponent's commander grasped the 600-meter distance, and even the best rifle at present, could not hurt the opponent's hair. Liu Mingchuan sighed, but he didn't know that his opponent's British Captain Barang was also sighing that in a short time, the Chinese soldiers built such an effective defensive position, which made Barang admire him. He suffered the loss of trenches and barbed wire on the Chinese battlefield. Now this positional war has become the focus of European army research and learning.

Six hundred cavalry formed three columns, lined up in one row, the saber in their hands had been unsheathed, and the standard cavalry charge formation. Seeing that the opponent did not attack immediately, but lined up in a calm manner, Liu Mingchuan's heart suddenly raised, two thousand people, this time I really don't know if I can escape.
