    Chapter 321 Bloodshed in the Salt Pond (2)

    This is an ancient castle built by border guards at an unknown age. After years of erosion and carving by wind and sand, only the village wall that is more than ten feet high remains. Most of the lookout holes and arrow stacks on the wall remain intact.

    Perhaps in order to resist the plundering of cavalry from the Mongolian Plateau, Tuweizi occupies the only high ground in this area, and there are specially built anti-cavalry facilities outside the wall.

    After the joint exploration team withdrew into the earthen fence, they placed the expedition team members in a relatively safe place. More than 300 soldiers climbed up the fence and stood ready with arrow stacks and lookout holes.

    The horse bandit cavalry rushed to the wall of the village and found it insurmountable. They were so anxious that they turned their horses around. There was only one entrance due east of Tuweizi. Under the shout of a bandit leader, the horse bandits swarmed toward the village gate.  .

    Suddenly, bullets were fired from the wall, not densely. More than 300 soldiers were scattered on the four walls, and there was no dense firepower at all. Although the bullets fired were very sparse, the accuracy was very high. It was a precise shot.  After each shot, one of the horse bandits fell off his horse and fell to the ground.

    After a volley of guns, the horse bandits woke up and realized that the terrain was not favorable for the cavalry. They moved their horses out of the range of fire and concentrated them all at the entrance of the stockade. They wanted to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry and attack the wall in one fell swoop.

    Under the command of a bandit leader, about three hundred horse bandits, shouting wildly and beating the horses like flying, with the sabers in their hands raised high, launched an attack toward the gate of Tuweizi like a violent torrent, and the yellow dust kicked up by the horse hooves rolled  ,aggressive.

    The cavalry's charging speed was astonishing. They were only a few hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a dense rain of bullets shot out from the gate of Tuweizi. The firepower was fierce and concentrated, which was different from the sparse shooting on the wall of the village.

    The horse bandits who rushed at the front felt as if they had been swept by an iron broom, and they fell to the ground together with their horses.

    The two squad leaders had rich combat experience. They saw that the village gate was the only weakness. Time was tight and there was no time to set up roadblocks, so they transferred all eight light machine guns to the gate of the village and added shell guns to form a  As long as the village gate can be defended as the only fire attack point, the stalemate with the horse bandits can be continued, and then the division commander can be asked for reinforcements.

    The tactics they adopted were undoubtedly very correct. The horse bandits in the first shock wave were immediately disrupted from the charging rhythm. The horse bandits behind saw that something was not going well, reined in their horses hard, turned their horses' heads, and ran back.  .

    It was not so easy for the horse bandits in front. They could no longer hold back the momentum of the charge and could only continue to charge despite the rain of bullets. More than a hundred horse bandits were lying dead in the wilderness. Only a dozen of them rushed into the fence. Then,  The gate of the village was flooded by shrapnel from the grenade explosion.

    The horse bandits who rushed in had no follow-up troops and became a lone army. These horse bandits showed their ferocious nature, shouting wildly and waving their sabers, and rushed towards the unarmed Professor Ouyang and others.

    The soldiers of the special operations detachment flew down from the wall of the village, knocked the horse bandits under their horses, and rolled into a ball on the ground. They were fighting hand to hand. These horse bandits had no advantage at all. In the blink of an eye, more than ten horse bandits were there.  The corpses of various shapes were lying on the yellow sand, and the horses that had lost their owners stood there blankly.

    The smoke from the grenade explosion dissipated, and the corpses and dead horses at the gate of Tuweizi were exposed to the afternoon sun filled with yellow sand. The strong northwest wind of the Loess Plateau could not blow away the strong smell of blood.

    The horse bandits in the first shock wave retreated in a hurry after losing one-third of their troops. They did not expect that these scattered teams in civilian clothes would have such strong firepower. They suffered a big loss due to their carelessness.

    The horse bandits adjusted their tactics, using light and heavy machine guns to form suppressive firepower, and organized several consecutive charges, but were repulsed. Hundreds of horse bandits' bodies were left on the salt flats.

    After repelling several attacks by the horse bandits, the soldiers of the special operations detachment also suffered heavy casualties. More than 30 people were killed and more than 70 people were injured. The unit lost almost one-third of its combat effectiveness.

    The gate of Tuweizi was soaked in the blood of Yin Hong. It can be seen how fierce the battle for the gate of Tuweizi was just now. It was mainly the heavy machine guns of the horse bandits that caused the greatest damage to the soldiers.

    Later, the horse bandits organized several small-scale attacks, attacking from all four sides. Now, the horse bandits could not take advantage. Long-distance precision shooting was a specialty of the special operations detachment soldiers. As soon as the horse bandits showed up, they would be able to shoot accurately.  After eating a flying bullet, my head was blown.

    The two sides have temporarily reached a stalemate. However, the situation is extremely unfavorable to the joint exploration team. They are holding on to a desperate position. If there are no reinforcements, when their bullets run out, they will be at the mercy of the horse bandits.

    The horse bandits, who were no longer attacking, concentrated all their light and heavy machine guns and aimed them at a wall, fierce fire, dense bullets, like high-pressure water washing away the sand, peeling off the wall layer by layer.

    A large gap was quickly opened. The horse bandits divided into two directions and launched a fierce attack. The soldiers of the special operations team were under tremendous pressure. The battle entered a white-hot state. On several occasions, the horse bandits had already attacked.  Entering the soil enclosure, they were beaten out by soldiers who were more fierce than them.

    After the fierce battle, both sides were exhausted. The horse bandits lost four to five hundred people, and the soldiers of the special operations unit also suffered a total of about 200 casualties, including 123 killed in battle, and two-thirds of the troop casualties.  .

    The two special forces captains witnessed the heroic sacrifice of their soldiers, and their hearts were numb with pain. These soldiers are all carefully selected and good soldiers. They can play a greater role in the anti-Japanese battlefield.  However, he died in battle on an unknown salt-alkali flat on the Loess Plateau.

    They witnessed with their own eyes that a soldier was stabbed more than a dozen times. Before he fell, he pulled a grenade and died together with six or seven horse bandits.

    What a good soldier, with just such a "boom", the person disappeared, and only his name was remembered. Since the formation of the special operations detachment, when has it ever suffered such a big loss? In the Northeast, hundreds of thousands of Guandong  In an environment where the army's soldiers were pressing down on the situation, the special operations detachment had never suffered such heavy casualties.

    The two detachment captains felt their hearts tearing in pain. The soldiers followed the division commander and detachment captain from the distant White Mountains and Black Waters to the land of North China. They did not sacrifice themselves in the hands of the Japanese, but were robbed of their youth by these heartless horse bandits.  How to explain to the detachment leader when he meets his life?

    The telegram asking for reinforcements has been sent out. The division commander has sent troops to get here. It will take a certain amount of time. We can only grit our teeth and wait hard. Before the reinforcements arrive, we will never let the horse bandits step into Tuwei, even if it is a special battle.  All the detachments died in the battle, and they had to support them until reinforcements arrived.

    Strictly speaking, the horse bandits who surrounded the joint exploration team were not professional horse bandits in the pure sense. The leader was called Ma Chaozong, who was the cousin of Ma Hongkui, the Ningxia warlord among the five horses in the northwest, and a brigade commander.

    The full name of the troops he leads is the Ningdong Security Brigade. They are stationed along the Great Wall outside Ningxia, in the Andingbao and Liuyangbao areas, guarding the east gate of Ningxia for his uncle.

    Because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Ma Hongkui seldom pays attention to this area. Ma Chaozong has become the local emperor in this area. From time to time, he takes off his military uniform and plays the role of a horse bandit. He robs homes and houses, attacks passing merchants, and secretly makes money.

    Then, he suddenly transformed and became a regular army of the Ningdong Security Brigade. Under the guise of suppressing bandits, he sent bandits everywhere to donate money, reap benefits from inside and outside, and suppress himself. Isn't that a big joke?

    ????????????? After going back and forth, the business travel in this area of ??Yanchi was gradually cut off. Everyone would rather take other routes away from here than pass by here. Ma Chaozong had lost his way of making money. He hadn¡¯t slaughtered a fat sheep for a long time, and his eyes were burning with anxiety.

    When the joint exploration team of about 500 people entered the Yanchi area, they were spotted by Ma Chaozong's spies. Judging from the clothes of these people, it was obvious that they were city dwellers, who were much better off than the poor people in the countryside.  .

    Especially the dozen or so young and beautiful girls, with fair and tender faces, and a foreign flavor all over their bodies. They are much more pleasant than the local country girls. Several spies followed the joint exploration team for several days.  , figured out their patterns of action.

    Flying to report to Ma Chaozong, Ma Chaozong was overjoyed after hearing this. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and his hands were itching. There were about 500 people. If each person counted as 500 yuan, how much would that be?

    In front of Ma Chaozong's eyes, the white ocean danced wildly. He immediately ordered a strong group of more than 1,800 troops, and under the leadership of the secret agent, they rushed to the exploration team's outdoor camp overnight.

    Ma Chaozong was very skilled in this kind of work. During the Red Army's Western Expedition the year before last, he had participated in the Five Northwest Horses, gathering all their strength to besiege the main force of the Red Army in Gaotai and Xichang Yingzi.

    After breaking up the Red Army West Route Army, Ma Chaozong led his troops to search for lost Red Army soldiers along the way. He captured many of them, including many female Red Army soldiers, who met tragic ends.

    In addition to being occupied by Ma Jiajun officers at all levels, some were sold to other places, and some were rewarded to Ma Jiajun soldiers who had made meritorious service against the Red Army. Many of Ma Chaozong's servants and servants in the mansion were also used as slaves.  Captured Red Army soldiers.

    If Professor Ouyang and the others return to Dingbian according to their original plan, Ma Chaozong will miss the mark. Even if he is brave, he will not dare to attack Dingbian County.

    "According to Ma Chaozong's estimation, when these unarmed city people came to his territory, it was a great gift from Allah to him, but he was disrespectful. As soon as the gunshots were fired, they were waiting to kidnap them. He also specifically told his men?Bring more hemp rope.

    Who would have known that the war would end like this when the war started, with more than 500 brothers killed, and not even a single siege broken down? Did they encounter a tough enemy?

    He cursed several spies, but didn¡¯t realize that these people were armed guards?  If it continues like this, not to mention the white flowers appearing in the ocean, the tender and tender city girls will not be able to get their hands on it. If the other side comes with reinforcements, I am afraid that not many of my more than a thousand troops can run back. This place is far away from the communist bandits.  It¡¯s not too far, we can ride on horseback and march in half a day.

    Ma Chaozong ordered the entire army to attack. This time, Tuweizi must be captured. When Tang Qiuli and the others arrived, it was the moment when the horse bandits' attack was most intense and Tuweizi's situation was most critical.
