I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

The army was divided into two routes. Du Chenyu led Peng Huiyu up the river. The terrain was flat and there were many checkpoints, many of which required strong attacks, so they led a large force; He Chaowu led the special intelligence team and the reconnaissance team from Heitugou to cross the Heilong Mountain and go straight to Fu'an and Wanjia areas. There were high mountains, dense forests, and steep cliffs along the way, so a special service team was sent out to launch a surprise attack and drive the Red Lantern bandits northward.

There are two sides to this story, and I will only talk about one of them.

He divided the guards into two and asked Lei Jianqin to select an elite team as the vanguard to open the way. Since the Red Lantern Cult's deployment in this area was basically unknown in the past two days, the most strictly guarded area was Zhujiagou, which was the bridgehead for the Red Lantern Cult to attack the Liziba area, and was guarded by more than 1 people. Facing their nearly 150 people, five times the force, the equipment was not comparable to the enemy's fire control, shotguns, and old sleeves.

"Da Da... Da Da..." Without shouting or warning, they rushed to seize the firepower positions on both sides of the mountain ridges at the valley entrance. Lei Jianqin led the team to attack the left slope, and Peng Huiyu attacked the right slope. He originally didn't want Peng Huiyu to go, but seeing his expression that he was about to cry, he let him go. Peng Huiyu was born as a regular military talent, and he rarely opposed his superiors, nor would he argue with reason. If Lei Jianqin didn't let him go, he would just be unhappy.

"Brothers, charge, let's take it down in one go." Lei Jianqin is always in front of the team, looking like a tiger rushing out of the mountains to kill any Buddha that stands in his way.

Peng Huiyu is different. The team he leads has strict discipline. They advance and retreat in a planned manner, dodge and sidestep, and kill one enemy with one shot. Their attack speed is no slower than Lei Jianqin's. This also shows the different combat styles of the two.

"Boom... Boom...", mines began to explode in the enemy's position. It seemed that the enemy was about to retreat. The enemy began to fight back with all their strength and threw out several explosive packs to block the attack. This wave of counterattack thwarted their first wave of attack, and they had to retreat to find cover.

"Provide fire cover and continue the attack," Peng Huiyu ordered.

"Luo Feng, lead the team to attack from the bottom of the valley, advance from three directions at the same time, and try to take it down in one fell swoop. Don't let the enemy escape," Du Chenyu ordered.

"Yes, Master Chenyu," Luo Feng led 50 people to launch a general attack.

As expected, after the powerful counterattack, the enemy saw that their fighting power was too strong and they could not resist, so they began to retreat. However, since they began to attack on all fronts, it was not so easy to escape. They could only send people to cover them. More than a dozen people could only hold out for less than 10 minutes before they occupied the enemy's position. The three groups of troops began to pursue them, and it took less than an hour to take Zhujiagou.

Du Chenyu could only order the logistics team to clean up the battlefield, and he continued to move forward on his donkey. At the end of the battle, they counted the number of people and found that 21 bandits were killed, 7 were captured, some escaped, and 8 of them were sacrificed.

The army stopped and started along the way, clearing out the remaining religious bandits in each village and community. They were basically scattered, with each community having no more than 10 guns at most. As they cleared the area along the way, no large-scale battles occurred.

On the fifth day, he sent Lei Jianqin with 50 people to Fu'an area to assist He Chaowu in wiping out the remaining bandits in the area east of Yanjing River as soon as possible.

As several teams moved northward, the compression and encirclement of the enemy became smaller and smaller.

South of the Qinling Mountains, the Daba Mountains, and the southern foot of the Mi Cang Mountains, there are many mountains, one after another, stretching endlessly, like young people dancing hand in hand. Among the stretches of mountains, there is an independent and towering peak, located on the north bank of the Yanjing River beach, which is the famous "Qishan" in the local area. Qi, the same as "Qi", means fork in the road. From the foot of the mountain to the top, there are many forks in the road, and it is easy to get lost, so it is named Qishan.

This is also the end point of their battle. The Red Lantern Cult's lair is here, and Ma Dasao's Holy Maiden Palace and Zhang Zhenxian's Lotus Palace are built halfway up the mountain.

On June 6, the two armies joined together and set up camp at the foot of the mountain. The Red Lantern bandits in the surrounding areas had been basically wiped out. In the past ten days, more than 28 people were killed, more than 150 people were captured, and more than 60 guns of various types were collected. According to the prisoners, they still had about 100 people and 100 guns in the Qishan base camp, including more than 50 red priests, so this general offensive was still somewhat difficult.

He communicated with his father in advance and asked him to transfer 50 more people. After all, they had lost more than 20 people during this period. They should prepare sufficient ammunition and send the logistics team to attack. A total of 250 people were prepared for the full-line attack. Even their logistics team had a combat effectiveness higher than that of ordinary red bandits.

Qishan is about 1500 meters high, with giant trees and jagged rocks on the mountain, giving it a rugged and confusing feeling. But the only advantage is that it is not particularly steep, and there are not many cliffs. The Red Lantern Cult base camp is located in a flat area halfway up the mountain, where there are several caves and people, and behind them are steep peaks.

In order to prevent the army from getting lost, he implemented three columns marching simultaneously, sent out scouts in the surrounding areas to prevent ambushes, and the main force both opened up and repaired the road to ensure a steady and solid advance. It was under the unified command of Peng Huiyu, and Du Chenyu was waiting at the foot of the mountain.

All the strongholds at the foot of the mountain have been cleared, and the army began to attack the mountain. In order to end the final battle as soon as possible, he also spent a lot of money and let everyone use guns and ammunition freely.

"Boom...boom...boom". This was the first time their only mortar was used in combat by him. Three shells were fired in succession, all hitting the enemy's machine gun fire point guarding the stone fortifications.

"Charge, our artillery is showing its power," the offensive charge sounded. Of course, this was only a partial attack, and more of it was testing the firepower points.

The morale effect brought by the mortar was visible to the naked eye. The six teams took turns covering the attack and soon rushed to within 6 meters of the enemy's blocking position.

"Zizi...", the other party ignited the tung oil fire barrier to block their advance.

"Inform Zhang Yang that every bullet hit the target in the first bombardment. Give him a commendation, commend him, and save ammunition," Du Chenyu asked the messenger to communicate.

After several attacks, the enemy also used various means of blocking. In order to find out the firepower points as much as possible and reduce casualties, no general offensive has been launched yet. The troops are allowed to take turns to accumulate experience and hone their combat effectiveness.

It was almost noon, and the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius. It had not rained for 6 or 7 days, and the temperature rose suddenly. The river valley reached 34 or 35 degrees Celsius in the past few days. There were sometimes rapid and fierce gunshots, and sometimes sporadic gunshots. The ground was full of smoke and flames. The temperature in the place where the fighting took place was over 40 degrees Celsius. There were no birds singing or cicadas chirping around, only thick smoke billowing out of the woods.

It seems that today's half-day attack was very effective. At present, all the firepower points outside the enemy's positions have been cleared. They have also established firepower points and bunker positions 200 meters ahead. Just one charge will be enough to capture the enemy's first line of defense.

At 12 o'clock sharp, the logistics team had prepared the food and delivered it to the position, and prepared a pot of spring water for each person. He set the total working time at 1:30. According to the current situation, people usually have two meals a day and eat at 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon, so the time close to 2 o'clock is when people's physical strength is the worst and their hunger is the strongest.

In order to make the other side feel hungry, he asked the logistics team to stew several pots of bacon at the wind vent of the hill. The aroma of the meat floated in the woods, and it was very obvious even if it was mixed with the smell of thick smoke.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the general attack horn sounded. The silence lasted only half an hour, and the army began to attack the southern half of the hillside of Qishan in a fan-shaped formation of more than 200 meters wide. Of course, the mortars also had a few shells, ready to provide support at any time.

Intensive gunfire echoed through the forest, and several fires that were about to go out continued to ignite. "Da Da... Da Da..." When the central commando attacked within less than 50 meters, the opponent's light machine gun suddenly burst into flames, instantly causing several elite commandos to scream "fire suppression, get cover", and Lei Jianqin, a front-line team member, had to temporarily avoid the assault. The three machine guns concentrated their output, but they were unable to quickly eliminate the opponent's machine gun fire points hidden in the stone wall.

"Aim and shoot," Zhang Yang calmly operated the mortar. The last few shells exploded near the enemy's machine gun bunker, instantly clearing away some obstacles to the attack.

"If you surrender your weapons, you will not be killed. If you surrender, you will be fed with meat." The army shouted the new slogan he taught them and began to charge.

After several attacks, the enemy lost their courage to resist, and all raised their hands in surrender under the persuasion of eating meat. This battle was the most intense since the formation of the army. No clever attacks were used, but only strong attacks were used to take down the pass. This was also his intention to train a strong army and dare to fight tough battles.

The commandos in the front continued to advance and pursue, while the team behind cleared out more than 30 prisoners from the trenches, cleaned up the battlefield and put out the fire.
