Chapter 985 The fight was too fast.
Three people slept in one shack, and there were three squads in one combat group, so there were only nine shacks in total.
Nine snow piles were scattered on the edge of the forest, and they didn't look very noticeable, just like the snow that fell down when the pine trees couldn't bear the weight. Such snow piles were everywhere in the forest. Who would have thought that there were so many deadly enemies hidden in them?
Everyone worked until the evening, and finally finished all the shacks. Then they came back to have dinner together at the underground outpost, filled a pot of hot water with their own kettles, and then went back to their own shacks to sleep.
Before leaving, Youye and Lu Ping also told them to sleep well at night, and not to worry about the enemy coming. The temperature here is much colder at night than during the day. Even if the enemy comes, they will definitely come out at noon, so there is no need to worry at night.
Everyone understood and soon returned to their respective snow houses and fell asleep.
They spent a peaceful night like this. The next morning, the three positions around the river mouth were all quiet. At about eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Youye suddenly kicked Qubing, who was lying beside him.
"The enemy is coming." Seeing Qubing looking at him in confusion, Youye immediately lowered his voice and whispered.
Qubing was refreshed. He had been here for more than ten days, and finally saw the enemy? !
He looked in the direction of Youye's finger curiously, and found that a group of guys wearing animal skins and with disheveled hair came out of the forest in a group.
The animal skins on their bodies were very rough and dirty. Many people even exposed a section of their arms or thighs. The exposed skin was frozen red, and there were some white patterns painted on it, which must be the totems on their bodies.
These people, big and small, held some stone spears and stone axes in their hands, and ran quickly towards the whirlpool, which was the place where Lu Ping said before, where the enemy often went to fish.
Those ragged guys ran to the ice of Huishui Bay and began to chop the water with their stone spears and stone axes. Some people started to make a fire nearby, and some others brought large stones from the river bank and joined the ice-chopping. Looking around, there were seventy or eighty people in total.
"Uncle You, quickly tell the soldiers to take their weapons and come out. Keep quiet so as not to be discovered. I will contact the soldiers in the other two positions first." Qubing looked at the cannibals who were chopping ice below and whispered.
"Okay, but how do you contact the other two positions? Won't the enemy hear you if you shout like this?!" Youye nodded, and then asked in confusion.
Qubing didn't say anything, but he suddenly took out a hollow round cake made of bronze from his arms, pressed the buckle on the side, and the round cake suddenly split into two halves like a river clam, and a mirror appeared inside.
"Use this."
He adjusted the angle of the mirror and reflected the sunlight onto the faces of the sentries in the other two positions, shining the reflection in their eyes. The two sentries immediately understood that the main position was contacting them. This was the reflection of a mirror, and the enemy would not have such a thing.
The two looked in the direction of the main position and saw Qu Bing greeting them. Then he gestured to them to pack up. Qu Bing pointed to his ears and then to the gun in his hand. Everyone immediately understood and acted according to the gunshots.
So the two positions each called their own people and called out the three hidden squads. Everyone raised their guns, loaded the bullets, and looked for cover to aim at their targets.
The two platoon leaders were also explaining to their soldiers.
"Listen carefully, don't hit the chest and head if you can hit the legs, don't hit the young if you can hit the old. We are here to capture prisoners, not to kill people. Do you understand?"
"Understood." The soldiers also answered in a low voice.
At the main position, there was a rustling sound behind Qubing, and the soldiers of the three squads who stayed behind the main position all came out.
"Command."
Qubing looked back and said to the instructor of the third group, "Don't let everyone come up. Go to the two sides of the high ground and prepare to fight hand-to-hand when I order you to do so. Are your handcuffs ready?"
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away. Everyone follow me. Don't shoot. Prepare to charge. Take your handcuffs."
Youye and Lu Ping came to Qubing's side, lying on his left and right. Youye looked at the enemy below with a telescope, and Lu Ping looked at the rifle in Qubing's hand curiously.
"How do we fight?" Youye asked concisely.
"First kill a few old ones to scare them, then we charge and drive them back, and then the other two positions will block them." Qubing said without turning his head.
"Oh, is it that simple?" Youye turned his head and asked again.
"Yes, it's about to start." Qubing replied again, and then began to hold his breath and aim carefully.
At the river whirlpool two hundred meters away, an old man with bare arms was working hard to chisel the ice with a stone. There were many people beside him, as if they had been assigned in advance, and several people were responsible for opening an ice hole.
However, at this moment, Qubing on the high ground not far away suddenly opened fire.
Bang————
a huge gunshot rang out, and the old man who was holding a stone to chisel the ice had just straightened up when the bullet hit the guy's head with huge kinetic energy. The man's head was shot halfway off on the spot, and bright red blood was scattered all over the ice and snow, splashing the blood of several people around him. The man fell to the ground on the spot, twitched a few times and died.
Youye looked at the scene in the telescope and couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was the first time he saw a gun shooting a living person. He didn't expect the power to be so huge!
Lu Ping beside him was also stunned. For two days, he still didn't know what this rifle was used for. Now he suddenly saw the actual combat effect of the rifle, which made him secretly smack his lips. However, he still didn't understand what kind of artifact this thing called a rifle was?
Why did it only make a loud noise, and no arrows or anything like that were shot out, but the enemy more than 200 meters away died on the spot? The head was as horrible as if it was smashed by a strong man with a giant hammer.
The cannibals around the old man who was beaten to death were also dumbfounded. In broad daylight, there was a loud noise in the distance, and then one of them died. The death was extremely horrible. The key point was that there was nothing left at the scene. Arrows? They didn't exist.
Enemy attack? But there was no enemy.
What was going on?
Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
Qubing suddenly felt that lying on the top of the mountain and shooting from behind didn't seem to deter the enemy, so he took the initiative to stand up and expose his position. Anyway, the enemy couldn't hurt him at this distance.
"Everyone, move forward slowly and force the enemy to retreat." Qubing stood up and shouted, asking the three groups on his side to start the assault, while he stood in place, pulled the bolt and loaded the gun, aiming.
At this time, due to Qubing's active exposure, the enemy finally discovered them. This time, they finally confirmed that there was an enemy attack, and the weapons used by the enemy were very strange, but the number of people didn't seem to be many, only more than 20 people, while they had 70 or 80 people, so they didn't run away, but gathered together, holding weapons and looking at Qubing's side vigilantly, as if they wanted to have a head-on confrontation?
Because each of the soldiers on Qubing's side only had a "short wooden stick" in his hand, without even a shield, it seemed that they were easy to bully? !
Or maybe they haven't connected the loud noise just now with the group of people in front of them?
"Aim at the open space beside them and fire." Qubing suddenly shouted again, suddenly raised his gun and aimed at an old man's thigh and fired again.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——
In the formation of the cannibals, an old man holding a shield was suddenly shot in the leg and fell to the ground, howling on the spot. The next moment, other soldiers also opened fire.
The soldiers of the three squads pulled away from the enemy in an assault formation, forming an arc and circling towards the enemy, shooting at the enemy as they walked, but they didn't shoot at them, but at the open space beside them.
Although no one was killed, the bullets shot on the ice, and a lot of broken ice pieces splashed out, hitting the enemy continuously.
What was even more terrifying was the loud bang, bang, bang. They finally knew where the sound just now came from. It turned out to be the short stick in the hands of the group of green-clothed people. At this moment, the cannibals began to fear this mysterious weapon.
"Charge forward, and bring your guns to me when you have used up five bullets." Qubing shouted again, and immediately led the way down from the high ground.
When everyone heard Qubing's words, they immediately pulled the bolts and pulled the triggers. The continuous sound of gunfire put a lot of pressure on the cannibals. Broken ice splashed around them from time to time, and a few unlucky guys were accidentally hit in the legs and feet by stray bullets, and they screamed in pain on the ground.
Seeing the people of the Han tribe approaching them while fighting, the cannibals' small formation finally collapsed. Some children threw down their shields and ran back. Once one ran away, the others could no longer hold on, and all ran towards the forest.
Seeing that the other party finally collapsed and turned around, Qubing and his men also accelerated to catch up, and from time to time they fired a few shots behind the enemy to drive them away.
However, at this time, the two combat teams of the No. 1 and No. 2 positions also appeared and ran out. They pulled away and completely blocked the enemy's retreat. At the same time, they raised their rifles and shot at the enemy, but they still did not aim at the vital points. They either shot at the open space in front of them or shot at the enemy's legs.
The three combat teams rushed forward and surrounded the enemy before they could react. At this time, the cannibals were already scared. They looked at the rifles in the hands of the Shen Ce Wei soldiers in fear and hugged each other, thinking that they would be massacred. Fortunately, the facts did not go as they expected.
The Shen Ce Wei soldiers rushed forward, picked up the rifles that had been emptied, and beat them up. The soldiers were in groups of three. One person held a short-barreled shotgun and kept watching the enemy vigilantly, one person used a rifle to knock down the enemy, and the last person handcuffed the person skillfully.
At this stage of capturing prisoners, an old cannibal who looked quite fierce did not want to be caught. He was so frightened that he was no longer afraid. When a soldier hit him with the butt of a gun, he blocked it with his arm, knocked away the Shen Ce Wei soldiers around him and wanted to break out of the siege.
He should not have been able to escape, but the Shen Ce Wei soldiers also had some concerns. After all, they were already prisoners who were surrounded. If they killed him, they might not only fail to achieve any merit but also be at fault. Therefore, no one shot for a while.
"Why are you all standing there? The man has run away. Kill him!" Qu Bing shouted at the old man who was running away. The soldiers came to their senses and shot at the old man with their guns.
However, this time they used short-barreled shotguns for self-defense. The old man had not yet run out of the range. He was only a dozen meters away and was immediately hit by more than 20 shotguns.
Boom boom boom boom——————
The huge gunshots from the shotgun rang out in a group. The old cannibal man who was more than ten meters away had already been beaten into a pool of minced meat, and the pieces were scattered all over the ground.
There were seven soybean-sized lead bullets in a shotgun shell. This was the concentrated fire of more than twenty shots. One round directly killed the man. Even the soldiers who fired the guns were shocked.
My God, this thing is so powerful?
In the past, when shooting targets, I only knew that one shot could make a hole in a wooden board, but it was the first time to shoot a living thing at such a close distance. No one expected that this thing would have such a result after hitting the human body.
No wonder the leader said that the shotgun was a magic weapon specially used to deal with monsters. If a round of concentrated fire was also used on the cannibal giant apes, I wonder what those giant apes would be like.
"Quick, don't just stand there, capture all the prisoners first!"
Qubing's shouting reminded everyone, and the dazed soldiers and cannibal captives all came back to their senses. Adrenaline caused saliva to be secreted rapidly, and everyone actually swallowed their saliva together, all of them were scared.
The soldiers handcuffed people while secretly looking at the place where the old cannibal died not far away, and the captives did the same thing. The captives who wanted to struggle at first did not run away after seeing the way the old man died. Some people saw that their companions were not killed, but their hands were locked, and they even raised their hands to surrender before the soldiers hit them with the butts of their guns.
The power of the concentrated fire from the spray guns really scared many people.
When Youye and Lu Ping ran from behind, all the cannibal captives present were handcuffed. The whole battle lasted less than five minutes and ended with all the enemies being captured.
"Good fellow, you guys are so fast, and that shotgun you mentioned, good fellow, this thing is really powerful, no wonder the leader dared to send only two thousand of you here." Youye looked at the scene on the battlefield and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and sighed.
