第四十三章 反攻山匪(1 / 1)

时间转眼就到了八月底。经过了一段时间的忙乱,山中各项事情都逐步走上了正轨。霹雳军在曹二狗的严苛训练下,隐隐有了强军的影子。特别是野战营,不仅军容严整纪律严明,对火炮和手雷的操作也颇为熟练。由于产能的原因,目前霹雳军装备的虎蹲炮和母子炮只有十余门,尚不能配备两个连。但眼看着这山中天气一天天开始转凉,山顶的树叶颜色也从翠绿色渐渐显出丝丝红色,欧阳轩决定不再等火炮配足,便准备对万家坪山匪动手了。

之所以急着对万家坪山匪动手,是因为欧阳轩要赶在秋粮收割之前打通山路,并尽可能地多屯粮食和必需生活物资,这样霹雳军及其治下的百姓,才能在即将到来的蒙古大军入侵中支撑过去。到邛州购盐之后,朱挑子也组织了几批小规模的商贸队伍外出,但隐秘小径实在难行,只能贩卖和购买轻便且贵重的货物,以致山中所需的生活用品仍很紧缺,而商贸队仓库中则积存了大量普通的山货和铁锭、农具等工矿业产品。

要攻打万家坪山匪消息,让霹雳军内部一片振奋。熊犇匪帮作恶多端,霹雳军士兵中许多人曾深受其害,而且这段时间野战营的士兵都被曹二狗操练得太狠,心中也憋着一口气,想要拿山匪练手出气。霹雳军的指挥官们都清楚,这山路狭窄,攻击面最宽也就几米,人数再多铺展不开,不能采取人海战术。故当欧阳轩决定只动用两个连时,众人都没有意见,但各连连长为了谁能承担任务开始暗暗较劲起来,纷纷私下向曹二狗请战。曹二狗不堪其扰的又左右为难,便将此难题推给欧阳轩,让他来作决断。欧阳轩见军心可用,便决定由曹二狗带领第一连负责主攻,其余四个连各抽三个班,临时组成一个加强连,由自己亲率着作为预备队使用。这样的结果,让一连长陈虎趾高气昂,其余四个连长虽然不太满意,但也能勉强接受。

知已知彼才能百战不殆。这段时间霹雳军一直未放松对万家坪的侦察,曹二狗派出了大量精干人员在其万家寨周边侦探。熊犇匪帮也在对琉璃坝进行渗透和刺探,双方的探子屡屡遭遇,也发生了多次小规模的战斗。总体来说,配备了手雷的霹雳军侦察兵占了极大的优势,成功地压制了山匪的刺探活动。但霹雳军的侦察也只能止步于山匪在丁字路口旁新筑石头堡垒,法抵近万家寨侦察,只能远远地观望。

在通往万家寨的山道旁,山匪原本有几个木制的瞭望塔,但在上次蒙古百人队进攻时被焚毁,此次又全部重建起来。山匪显然吸取了教训,将瞭望塔由木料改为条石修建,使之防御力大大提升。要说熊犇匪帮也不是草包,其在丁字路口的新筑石头堡垒,修筑得又快又坚固,而且选址也极为讲究。虽然面积仅有一亩见方,墙体也只有五米多高,但因位于通往万家坪和琉璃坝两条路的丁字路交汇处的山坡上,以居高临下之势俯瞰着下方两条道路,将进出山和通往万家寨的道路都紧紧扼住,颇有一夫当关万夫莫开的阵势。霹雳军也从其他渠道搜集了万家坪山匪的零星情报,但并未探知到有关军事防御的情况,只知道熊犇又强拉些人入伙,又将万家寨的大门和寨墙进行了加固。

要说山匪新筑的堡垒果然是硬骨头,甫一开战便展现了强大的防御力,差点让曹二狗带着的第一连崩掉了牙齿。山匪在这堡垒中安置了两台轻型投石机,在丁字路附近二百余米山道上形成了火力封锁线,让沿着狭窄山道鱼贯前行的霹雳军躲可躲,一轮飞石便砸中了好几名霹雳军士兵。其居高临下抛射的密集石块冲击力道极大,虽不能将霹雳军的铁皮木盾击碎,却也将持盾者砸得手臂骨折,甚至有飞石将持盾者砸得连连翻滚,连人带盾落入山道下方文井江的湍流之中。

曹二狗见势不妙,便急令全连到退到投石机射程之外,并用火炮轰击堡垒。只是由于道旁边的山体阻挡了射界,直瞄攻击的母子炮法使用。曲射的虎蹲炮虽能打到堡垒,但山道狭窄只能放置一门炮攻击,而且由于威力小,其发射出的弹丸只能在堡垒墙体上留下浅浅的弹痕。零星稀疏的炮击根本法影响投石机的继续发射,这让山匪的气焰更加嚣张。见火炮威力不彰,曹二狗又选了身手矫健士兵持盾冲过投石机封锁线,冒着密集的箭雨突进,准备向堡垒内投掷手雷,却在距堡垒前方数十米时被深壕所阻,不得不退了回来。

在接下来时间里,霹雳军又组织了几次进攻均功而返。眼看着天色渐晚,却被死死卡在山道之上前进不得,曹二狗心里焦躁却可奈何,决定等欧阳轩来了再作打算。他已派人将受阻消息报告了在琉璃坝的欧阳轩,现在轩哥儿正带着一个班,轻装疾行在前来的路上。欧阳轩只带一个班,除了因为赶时间外,还因为山道实在不宽敞,带去再多的人也济于事。

入暮时分,欧阳轩与第一连汇合了。在观察了战场情况,又听了曹二狗详细报告后,他下达了第一个命令:全员退后到五里之外,除警戒人员外,其余人员就地休息,并熄灭火把保持静默。对于保持静默和警戒的命令众人倒是觉得顺理成章,但将火把熄灭就有点奇怪了,要知道这山道下方便是咆哮奔腾的江水,火把的光亮虽然微弱,但能保证大家不至于失足掉入江中。对于众人的不解,一向倡导民主议事群策群力的欧阳轩也不多解释。等众人安顿好之后,他直接向曹二狗下达了作战计划,一方面在这夜间山路上实在不适合议事,另一方面也是因为要南宋时代的人商量出火炮攻坚的好办法也不现实,这不是因为欧阳轩更聪明更有智慧,而是他多了千年的经验积累。
