Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

At night, Zhang Dabao took three people to pick out weapons. Of course, they had to bring more grenades, a heavy machine gun, and the rest were submachine guns. They had to bring more bullets, and Zhang Dabao specially brought a Type 8 rifle to snipe the enemy from a distance. The army also prepared helmets for the four people. Zhang Dabao asked the factory to prepare eight steel plates. After Zhang Dabao knocked them for a while, they became simple bulletproof vests with small holes in the middle and on the top, which were connected to the body with ropes.

After everything was done, the four of us got in the car and set off.

"Brother, are there many enemies?" Huang Xinsheng asked.

"We are facing a small number of troops. They are the vanguard. We must fight them off instead of killing them all. It won't work if they don't have anyone to report the situation. At the beginning, we cannot use heavy machine guns. We can only use submachine guns and grenades. This time we are facing cavalry. We must not let them charge," Zhang Dabao instructed.

"Chief Zhang, will they retaliate against many people?" You Chunhui asked.

"To be honest, I really don't know how many people they have, but it's definitely not a small number. If you were the enemy's commander, how many people do you think would be needed to capture four soldiers with automatic weapons?" Zhang Dabao asked You Chunhui.

"If we want to minimize casualties, we need at least one platoon," You Chunxiao said after thinking for a while.

"Then we will at least face a platoon. We are different from the soldiers in ambush. We have no cover and can only rely on vehicles for protection. So as soon as the enemy's large group appears and enters the firing range, the machine guns must start shooting. We have to hurt the enemy first so that they will fight us to the death. Only then can our comrades in ambush behind us wipe them out completely." Zhang Dabao made some arrangements.

It's dawn and we've arrived in Zhangjiakou.

Zhang Dabao brought three people to the supply and marketing cooperative for supplies, chatted with his old friend Director Wei for a long time, replenished a lot of water and food, and conducted a careful and detailed inspection of the vehicle. This work lasted until nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, Huang Xinsheng got out of the car and nodded to Zhang Dabao. Zhang Dabao knew that the large force had arrived at the ambush site, so he stopped repairing the car and got in and set off.

The grassland is very vast, and the scenery is completely different from the last time I came. At that time, the grassland was all withered and yellow, but now it is green and endless, which looks refreshing.

"Brother, it's so nice to ride a horse on the prairie." Huang Xinsheng was also attracted by the scenery in front of him.

"After we complete the task, we'll let you ride as much as you want. If not, we can ask our fellow villagers to buy two horses when we go back. When you've ridden enough, you can ask Sixth Brother and the others to use them to deliver goods when you go back," said Zhang Dabao.

"There's no need to buy it, it's a bit of a waste." Huang Xinsheng had a good mental state and was not as nervous as before a big battle.

The sky gradually darkened and the wind on the grassland became a little cooler.

"Brothers, let's take a rest first. Once we get in the car, we won't have time to rest. Xinsheng, take a look at the map and estimate how far we are from our destination?" Zhang Dabia stopped the car.

The four got off the car to relieve themselves, had dinner, closed their eyes and rested for twenty minutes. At Zhang Dabao's command, the car started again. At this time, Huang Xinsheng and Qu Qiangsheng had already got into the car, and the submachine guns in the hands of the four were loaded.

"Something's happening," Zhang Dabao said to You Chunhui who was driving next to him, then knocked on the fender with the butt of his gun, alerting Huang Xinsheng and the other person in the car.

At this time, a group of people and horses appeared in front of the car, with about seven or eight horses. The car did not stop, and neither did the horses. Zhang Dabao gave the order "Open fire", and the car stopped. Four submachine guns fired, knocking down four horses at once. The other three saw that the situation was not good, so they ran into the grassland, turned their horses around and went back.

"Don't pack up, let's go quickly, we have to reach our destination. If they surround us here, we'll be finished." Zhang Dabao saw that You Chunhui wanted to get out of the car, so he quickly stopped him, started the car, and drove forward quickly.

Finally seeing the sign set up by his comrades, Zhang Dabao led the car to the side, took out the heavy machine gun, used the car as a cover, and prepared for battle.

Ten minutes later, the noisy sound of horse hooves was heard, and the enemy was coming.

"We have at least a hundred horses, get ready for battle." Zhang Dabao took a breath. The number of enemies was twice what he expected. He was in trouble now. He didn't know how many comrades he had ambushed and what their weapons and equipment were.

"Open fire!" Zhang Dabao saw the enemy getting closer and closer, so he started firing the heavy machine gun. The heavy machine gun is the nemesis of the cavalry. If they are in a dangerous place, a heavy machine gun can wipe out an entire cavalry company. But this is not a dangerous place, it is a grassland, and for the cavalry, the grassland is full of roads.

"Start shooting." The two submachine guns also started shooting. The enemy was less than 50 meters away from the car. There were at least sixty people who broke through the blockade of machine guns and submachine guns.

At this moment, the comrades in ambush finally opened fire. Dozens or even hundreds of submachine guns fired at the same time. The dense firepower left the enemy nowhere to hide and they fell off their horses one after another. The enemies behind knew they were ambushed and turned their horses around to run. At this time, Zhang Dabao's Type 38 rifle began to fire in bursts, killing every enemy with one shot. No enemy escaped.

The comrades who were lying in ambush for "surrendering your weapons will not lead to death" have come out and started to clean up the battlefield and capture prisoners.

"Xinsheng, how are you and Qiangsheng?" Zhang Dabao came into the carriage. The heavy machine gun must have been the enemy's special focus. The battle was over, and he didn't know if the two were injured.

"Brother, I was shot twice. Fortunately, you gave me a steel plate to protect me, otherwise I would be finished this time. I was only hit in the left shoulder, but it's not a big problem," said Huang Xinsheng.

"Qiangsheng, what about you?" Zhang Dabao asked Qu Qiangsheng who was sitting on the ground.

"Chief Zhang, I was scared to death. I was hit by five or six bullets in the chest. The impact knocked me down. Fortunately, I was protected by a steel plate. Look, my clothes are full of holes, and a bullet is embedded in the steel plate." Qu Qiangsheng couldn't stand up. He was scared and tired. He was exhausted.

"What about other places?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"You don't feel any pain, so you should be fine. How about you and Brother You?" Qu Qiangsheng asked.

"We two are fine. We are protected by the car, and they didn't focus their attack on us. Xinsheng, is the bullet still inside?" Zhang Dabao asked Huang Xinsheng in reply.

"Inside, brother, we two are safe thanks to this clothes," Huang Xinsheng smiled.

"Zhang Ke, what's going on?" A comrade from the army came over.

"One comrade has a shoulder injury, the others are fine, how about you?" Zhang Dabao asked his comrades in the army.

"Two of our comrades died and five were injured. This time we killed 102 enemies, captured 17 prisoners, and seized a batch of war horses and guns. Let the injured comrades go for treatment. There are doctors with them." The leaders of the army and Zhang Dabao helped Huang Xinsheng out of the car.

Huang Xinsheng performed surgery in a tent on the side.
