Chapter 14 Ding Wei in Danger
The person being chased by the puppet troops was none other than Ding Wei, who was ordered by the organization to go to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study.
However, because Li Yunlong disobeyed orders in the battle of Cangyunling, he was demoted to the lowest position by the deputy general manager and sent directly to the clothing factory to be the factory director.
Therefore, the headquarters temporarily changed its mind and ordered Ding Wei to stop going to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and take over Li Yunlong's position as the commander of the New 1st Regiment.
The Iron Triangle of Northwest Shanxi all have outstanding abilities in leading troops in battle, but they also have their own characteristics. Li Yunlong is known for his bravery, which can be simply summarized in one word: "reckless". Of course, he does not mean mindless recklessness.
Kong Jie's most outstanding characteristic is his ability to "endure" and consider the overall situation. He is also the only one in the iron triangle who has a good ending.
Ding Wei is a wise general with a very good tactical mind and a sharp eye, which can be seen from his graduation thesis.
He guessed the inner thoughts of the puppet cavalry, so he behaved quite cautiously.
At the moment the terrain was open, and Ding Wei did not fire a shot to anger the puppet troops chasing him from behind.
The two sides rode on their war horses and chased each other for several hundred meters.
When we reached the foot of Liujiapo, the terrain of the mountain road gradually became winding and complex.
It's now!
Ding Wei felt that the time was almost ripe. He stood up suddenly, turned around, raised his pistol and pulled the trigger at the puppet soldiers behind him.
“Pah, pah, pah…”
Ding Wei's shooting skills are very accurate, and almost every shot hits the target.
As soon as the gunshots fell, several puppet soldiers fell off their horses screaming.
The other puppet soldiers were so frightened that their anuses tightened and they quickly lowered their bodies and lay tightly on the horse's back.
"Damn it, you dare to fight back!"
The second lieutenant of the puppet army adjusted his hat, which had tilted a little in panic, and shouted, "Brothers, fire!"
"Watch out, hit the horses, don't kill those Eighth Route Army soldiers, especially the officer!"
Upon receiving the order, the puppet cavalrymen raised their cavalry rifles and decisively pulled the triggers.
A burst of gunfire rang out.
Although most of the bullets missed the target, either flying into the sky or drilling into the ground, there was still one bullet that hit the butt of the warhorse under Ding Wei's crotch accurately.
"Ah!——"
The injured warhorse neighed loudly and jumped around uncontrollably.
Although Ding Wei tried his best to control himself, he still fell heavily from the horse.
Seeing this, the other two Eighth Route Army soldiers immediately dismounted and rushed over to rescue.
"Quick! Protect the leader!"
Two Eighth Route Army soldiers supported Ding Wei and retreated towards the Liujiaopo woods while fighting.
However, how can two legs outrun four legs?
The puppet cavalry dispersed and surrounded Ding Wei and his two companions from several directions.
"You can't run away. If you know what's best for you, just put down your weapons and surrender. I can spare your life!"
The puppet army second lieutenant who led the team reined in his horse and stood 20 to 30 meters in front of Ding Wei and his two companions, trying to persuade them to surrender.
"Bah, surrender to you traitors? Dream on! Come on if you are not afraid of death!" Ding Wei raised the Mauser pistol and glared at the second lieutenant of the puppet army without fear.
"You are so shameless!" The second lieutenant of the puppet army couldn't help but feel a little angry.
A cavalryman nearby said, "Platoon leader, since these Eighth Route Army soldiers are unwilling to surrender, just kill them. After all, we can bring their bodies back to ask the Grand Master for the reward."
“That makes sense!”
The puppet army second lieutenant who led the team nodded in agreement and was about to give an order.
Suddenly, a dull gunshot was heard not far away.
“Bang!”
As the gunshot rang out, a rifle bullet seemed to have eyes and hit the puppet army second lieutenant's left temple, and then shot out from his right temple, bringing out a stream of blood with a "puff".
The second lieutenant of the puppet army didn't even have time to utter a scream before he fell heavily from his horse with a thump.
The surrounding puppet cavalry were startled, and before they could react, two more gunshots rang out.
In response, two puppet soldiers fell off their horses with screams.
"Oh no! There's an ambush. These Eighth Route Army soldiers are really cunning. We've fallen into their trap!"
"withdraw!"
"Retreat quickly!"
The puppet cavalrymen were all in a panic. They did not even bother to collect the lieutenant's body. They grabbed the reins, turned their horses around, and fled like dogs that had lost their homes.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!—"
The gunshots from the Mauser 98k sniper rifle rang out continuously, and the flying bullets seemed to have eyes, chasing after these puppet cavalrymen and knocking them off their horses one after another.
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host , you have killed an enemy second lieutenant, merit points +50, experience points +50."
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host, you have killed 1 enemy soldier, your merit value +0.5, your experience value +0.5."
"Ding! System prompt..."
"Damn! The puppet army's income is not as high as the devil's!"
Yang Lin complained secretly, watching the puppet soldiers fleeing on horseback out of sight, so he ordered Ma Gan beside him: "Ma Gan, this is the first battle of my independent brigade since its establishment , we must do it well!"
"Don't let any of these puppet soldiers go!"
"Also, tell my brothers to be careful not to hurt my horse, or I'll use his military pay to offset it!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Ma Gan had originally been thinking about whether he should take advantage of the chaos to kill two war horses and eat the horse meat, but after hearing this, he had to give up the idea. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would never see military pay in his life.
"Go ahead!"
"yes!"
Ma Gan responded and left.
Before arriving, Yang Lin had ordered more than 20 soldiers from the 1st and 2nd squads of the 3rd platoon to encircle the puppet troops from behind and set up numerous ambushes, so he was not worried at all that these puppet troops could escape.
Yang Lin, holding the Mauser 98k sniper rifle in his pistol, strode towards Ding Wei.
"Captain, it seems like more puppet troops are coming..."
Two Eighth Route Army soldiers held guns and stared at Yang Lin and others with vigilance.
"Don't act rashly. They were the ones who saved us just now. Let's see the situation first." Ding Wei stared at Yang Lin and the others for a while. Seeing that they seemed to have no hostility, he asked the two guards to put down their guns and led them to meet them.
What puzzled him was why these puppet soldiers would kill each other, was it a dog-eat-dog fight?
