Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Butaikou is more than 80 miles north of Zhonghai County and is also the only way to Tongshan City.

Feng Dingshan planned to rush to Chishui County, located between Zhonghai County and Tongshan City, today to rest there for a while and then return to Tongshan with the guard battalion tomorrow. Moreover, Chishui County was originally where the 28th Regiment was stationed. Feng Dingshan had temporarily transferred the 28th Regiment away in order to swallow up the security regiment's ammunition.

Feng Dingshan was riding on a tall horse, looking at the Butaikou in front of him and the low hills on both sides, and said to the guard battalion commander Liu Changshui beside him: "Old Liu, this Butaikou was called the Ghost Gate by the local people in the past."

"Because local bandits often ambush passing caravans and civilians here, stealing money and killing people, it was only after our 102nd Brigade came to Tongshan that we took our soldiers to wipe out all the bandits nearby. These unruly people not only did not appreciate our contributions to the local area, but also looked at us as if we were the murderers of their fathers when we just asked them for some food."

Liu Changshui immediately flattered him, saying, "Under the wise and powerful decision of the brigade commander, our brigade has made an indelible contribution to the local area. In the future, you will be remembered in history."

Feng Dingshan nodded with satisfaction. The guard battalion, together with the soldiers of the 28th Regiment behind them, more than people formed a long line and began to enter Butaikou in an orderly manner.

Su Zhengyang was holding a rifle and lying in the grass on the left side of the low hill.

"Old Liu, send a signal to Cheng Xu on the other side, and wait until they have all entered the bag before taking action."

Liu Kangding nodded and sent a signal to Liu Chengxu on the opposite hill.

Twenty minutes later, all of Feng Dingshan's troops finally entered Budaikou. Su Zhengyang waved his hand and gave an order: "Fight!"

The soldiers of the security regiment immediately pulled the trigger. On the low hills on both sides, ten Maxim heavy machine guns and twenty Czech light machine guns opened fire together, mixed with the crisp sound of 98K rifles. Bullets flew from high above towards Feng Dingshan's troops below.

In less than two minutes, the soldiers of the 28th Regiment and Feng Dingshan's Guard Battalion fell down one after another like wheat being cut. In the bare Budai Valley, it was difficult to even find cover.

Liu Changshui was the first to react. He hurriedly pulled Feng Dingshan off his horse and shouted, "Protect the commander! Fight back!"

The army of more than 2,000 people was in chaos. Many of them were shot to pieces by the security soldiers before they could even get their hands on the guns on their backs.

Liu Changshui dragged Feng Dingshan to hide in a trench on the side of the road in a very embarrassed manner. This was a rare blind spot for shooting. The two of them lay in the ditch without even daring to raise their heads. Feng Dingshan never dreamed that someone would dare to ambush him here.

The narrow Budai Valley was littered with corpses of soldiers from the 28th Regiment and the Guard Battalion. The corpses had piled up into a small hill, and blood kept overflowing and gathering into streams.

Hundreds of soldiers from the 28th Regiment completely collapsed, threw away their weapons, and knelt on the ground with their hands raised. The regiment commander Zhuo Wenqing was shot down by Liu Kangding in the first moment and had already become a corpse.

There were only a few soldiers from the guard battalion where Feng Dingshan was, and they continued to fight back under the cover of the roadside trenches.

"Brothers of the First Reinforced Battalion, follow me!"

"kill!"

When the charge sounded, Liu Chengxu took the lead and rushed down the mountain with his soldiers. He immediately eliminated the soldiers of the 28th Regiment who were still resisting. After leaving half of the troops to guard the prisoners, Liu Chengxu rushed towards Feng Dingshan's position with a rifle.

The trench where Feng Dingshan was located was about one meter deep and was close to a low hill on one side, making it an excellent shelter.

Soldiers from the No. 30 or 40 Guard Battalion hid in the trenches, occasionally poking their heads out and shooting at the security regiment soldiers who were rushing over.

Two security guards following Liu Chengxu fell to the ground amid the gunfire.

Liu Chengxu took a wooden-handled grenade from his waist, pulled the fuse, and threw it towards the trench not far away.

The soldiers followed suit and threw grenades into the trench. More than a dozen grenades emitting smoke rolled into the trench, almost blowing up the trench within a dozen meters. More than a dozen soldiers from the guard battalion were killed on the spot. The few soldiers who survived the explosion were also missing limbs and lay on the ground wailing.

A bloody rain with pieces of flesh and corpses flew down from the sky.

Feng Dingshan was extremely cunning and hid in the corner of the trench, and was not affected by the explosion. However, the guard battalion commander Liu Changshan was hit in the calf by a sharp piece of gravel, and was bleeding profusely.

"Keep throwing grenades at me until they are blown out. Second Company, get your submachine guns!"

Ten minutes later, most of the remaining soldiers in the guard battalion were killed, and the rest all surrendered.

Feng Dingshan climbed out of the trench with his hands raised high under the gunpoint of the security soldiers. His head and face were covered with dust. He shouted in panic and trepidation: "I am Feng Dingshan, the commander of the 102nd Brigade of the Zhao Clan. We can discuss this. Please don't kill me."

In less than half an hour, the three battalions under the security regiment completely ended the battle. After occupying the advantageous terrain and setting up an ambush in advance, the light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the security regiment were like the scythe of the god of death, causing fear and continuously reaping the lives of the enemy.

Under the fierce fire suppression, more than half of Feng Dingshan's people didn't understand what was going on and met the King of Hell in a daze.

"Feng Dingshan, right? Take him away and take him to see the head of the group."

"Who is your leader? Let's discuss this. Don't shoot."

Liu Chengxu glanced at Liu Changshan, who had just climbed out of the trench with his leg still bleeding. He decisively pulled out the pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger. With a bang, a gunshot rang out. Liu Changshan didn't even have time to beg for mercy. With a look of fear on his face, he was shot in the chest and fell in a pool of blood.

In order to prevent Liu Changshan from being dead yet, Liu Chengxu fired three more shots in succession. The sound of the gunshots hit Feng Dingshan's heart like a huge hammer, and the arrogant commander of the 102nd Brigade, who had seen a lot of battles, almost wet his pants with fright.

Five minutes later, Feng Dingshan was brought in front of Su Zhengyang. Looking at Liu Kangding beside Su Zhengyang, Feng Dingshan showed an incredible look.

Originally, he thought that it was the ace troops of the Guo warlord who sneaked into Ganzhou to ambush him. Such fierce firepower and equipment configuration were simply despairing and he had no intention of resisting at all.

However, he didn't expect that the ones who ambushed him were the Sanjiang County Security Corps, whom he looked down upon.

"Captain Feng, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. I've said it before, mountains and rivers will meet each other, and our security team will get back at this place sooner or later."

Feng Dingshan forced a smile and said to Liu Kangding, "Brother, don't be impulsive. I just stole a batch of guns from you before. It doesn't have to be this serious. I have money. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to give you any amount of money."
