Chapter 421: Airborne Operations (II)

After passing through the Taihedian Square, the soldiers immediately borrowed the surrounding buildings as shelters and alternately advanced towards the Wuying Palace, at this time the Wuying Hall had been lit up, and even if they did not use night vision goggles, they could see it more clearly.

It didn't take long for the crossing soldiers to break through to a range less than 150 meters away from the Wuying Palace, and the sound of footsteps had already alarmed the Japanese troops guarding the Wuying Palace, but by this time, the Japanese army had not yet realized that it was the enemy who was coming, so a Japanese soldier guarding the gate of the Wuying Hall said loudly: "Stop, don't move forward, who are you?"

Yu Maolin had studied Japanese, and was about to answer in Japanese to relax the enemy's troops, but at this time, someone changed to English and asked again, and it turned out that the commander of the Japanese army thought that if the armies of other countries would definitely not understand Japanese, he had learned a few words of English, so he switched to English to ask questions. And Yu Maolin's heart moved, and he immediately changed to English, and replied: "Don't shoot, it's your own people." ”

While speaking, Yu Maolin hung a grenade launcher under the Type 95 rifle, and took advantage of the Japanese soldiers' stunned efforts to launch it towards the gate of Wuying Palace. When the other crossing soldiers equipped with gun-mounted grenade launchers saw this, they also hung up their gun grenade launchers one after another, and fired 5 or 6 grenades at the door of the Wuying Hall in a row.

As a result, after a series of explosions, the resistance of the Japanese army suddenly collapsed. Without waiting for the smoke at the gate of the Wuying Hall to dissipate, the soldiers rushed towards the Wuying Hall one after another.

At this time, in the main hall of the Wuying Palace, there were only two adjutants and a few guards left by the side of the Japanese commander Lieutenant General Yamaguchi Suchen, a total of more than 10 people left, and the explosion at the gate of the hall just now also alarmed Yamaguchi Suchen, this is the enemy from where, and even brought grenadiers, could it be that the city of Beijing has been broken by the army of overseas Chinese?

But now I don't have time to think about these things, the door of the Wuying Hall will definitely not be able to be defended, and the enemy army is about to attack the Wuying Palace, at this time, the adjutant suggested that Yamaguchi Suchen escape from the back door of the Wuying Palace, but Yamaguchi Suchen refused, but decided to fight to the death with the enemy in the Wuying Palace. This is not that Yamaguchi Suchen is really brave and fearless, and he sees death as home, but that Yamaguchi Suchen's judgment is wrong, thinking that the People's Army has broken through the city of Beijing and has entered the palace, and the destruction of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army is spared, even if he escapes from the Wuying Palace, he can only survive for a while, and in the end he is not killed, and he is captured by the People's Army, so instead of being embarrassed and humiliated at that time, it is better to be in this Wuying Palace now, at least he will die like a soldier.

So Yamaguchi Suchen pulled out his pistol and shouted: "What to flee from, there are only generals in Great Japan who died in battle, and there are no generals who escaped, so we will stay here and fight to the death with overseas Chinese, and only seven lives will be repaid and loyal to the emperor." ”

As he spoke, Yamaguchi Suchen raised his pistol and shot at the outside of the Wuying Palace, and when the other Japanese soldiers saw it, they also cut off the idea of escaping and raised their guns to shoot. In fact, outside the hall is now also black, and I can't see anything clearly, it's just a random shot without a target.

But it didn't take long, a violent rain of bullets came in from outside the hall, and the two Japanese soldiers screamed miserably, and they didn't know how many shots they had been shot, and they fell to the ground, while the others looked for cover to hide, and even Yamaguchi Suchen hid behind a large cabinet, although he also held a pistol, but he fell to the ground, and did not dare to move. The Japanese soldiers in the house were almost completely suppressed and could not raise their heads.

And in the sound of a series of bullets hitting the wall and the wooden body, Yamaguchi Suchen suddenly heard a few soft sounds of "dong dong dong", and then the sound of "bone lulu", only to see several fist-sized, oval-shaped objects, rolling on the ground in the room, one of which rolled straight in front of Yamaguchi Suchen, and hit Yamaguchi Suchen's leather boots before stopping.

Yamaguchi Suchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and said loudly: "This is a bomb ......" The word "bomb" has not yet been spoken, only "boom, boom" A few loud explosions were heard, and then there was nothing.

It turned out that under the cover of fire, two crossing fighters approached Wuyingdian from the side, threw a few grenades from the window, and then quickly dodged, and immediately resolved the battle.

After the smoke cleared slightly, Yu Maolin led the soldiers into the Wuying Palace, at this time the hall was burning 6 or 7 fires caused by the explosion, and the furniture, ornaments, ornaments, etc. in the room were all unrecognizable, and there were more than 10 corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, several of which were completely different from ordinary Japanese soldiers, and they were obviously officers of the Japanese army. It's just that there's no way to identify them right now.

At this time, the other soldiers immediately divided into small groups and searched the various rooms of the Wuying Hall one by one, and occasionally heard a few gunshots. But soon all the rooms of the Wuying Hall were searched, and basically no remnants of Japanese soldiers were found. And Yu Maolin also seized the time to check the whole team, and there were no casualties in the whole team during the entire battle.

The other two squadrons also completed their tasks very smoothly, the 2nd Squadron had already conquered the Fengxian Palace, and at this time had already launched an attack on the garrison of the Imperial Teahouse, and the 3rd Squadron had also basically conquered the Yangxin Palace, and was in the process of a short period of rectification. So Yu Maolin didn't delay much in Wuying Palace, and immediately led the whole team to the next target, the Internal Affairs Office.

The second target of the 1st squadron is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which turned out to be the headquarters of the Italian army, and Italy was originally in the Eight-Nation Alliance, which was the role of playing soy sauce, and when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army set out from Tianjin and attacked Beijing, the Italian Army participated in the war with only 53 flag bearers, purely to make up the number, and after the attack on Beijing, the Italian Army transferred some naval supplements from the warships participating in the war in its own country, and now all the officers and soldiers add up to only 85 people. After sending some personnel to guard the walls of the imperial city, the current command is only more than 30 people.

Although the command of the Italian army was also ready to defend after hearing the gunshots, after all, the number was too small, and the combat effectiveness of the Italian soldiers was really not on the table, so he couldn't resist the attack of the crossing soldiers, and after a few grenades fell on the position of the Italian army and exploded, the Italian army's will to resist was completely destroyed.

However, the Italians are not as brainless as the Japanese, and they will break jade or serve the country with seven lives, and the Italians who are full of romantic temperament believe that there is hope as long as they live, so no matter what the current war situation is, whether he will be killed or taken prisoner in the future, he can live for a while, so they have fled from the headquarters, and there are many houses in the Internal Affairs Office, which also gave the Italians the convenience of escaping, as a result, the Italian army only lost 10 soldiers, but most of them fled, including the commander of the Italian army, Garioni, also successfully escaped from the command and temporarily saved his life。

Although the time to capture the Internal Affairs Office was shorter than the attack on the Wuying Palace, the results achieved were far inferior to the Wuying Palace, and only more than 10 Italian soldiers were killed, and judging from the clothing of the fallen soldiers, they were basically ordinary soldiers, and no one who looked like an officer was found.

But in any case, the 1st Squadron basically completed its mission, and the whole squadron did not die a single bite, only 3 soldiers were injured by the flying shrapnel, so it seems that the results achieved are not bad, so Yu Maolin sent a team to search various rooms of the Internal Affairs Office, and reported the battle situation to the command headquarters on the other hand, and asked for instructions on the next battle plan.

Although Yu Maolin is the captain of the special forces, after all, he is only responsible for the battle of a local battlefield, at this time the palace is almost everywhere with gunfire, everywhere is the fire, although through the walkie-talkie, the other two squadrons can be understood the combat situation, but can not control the situation of the whole field, so only by the command of the comprehensive monitoring of the palace through drones, can know the general trend of the entire battlefield.

While Yu Maolin was waiting for the reply from the headquarters, a soldier suddenly came to report to him that a team had found a large number of Chinese in a building in the Internal Affairs Office, and after inquiry, it turned out to be some eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, numbering hundreds of people, crowded into five or six rooms.

It turned out that when the Empress Dowager Cixi, Guangxu and the harem concubines, princes and ministers fled Beijing, they only brought a small number of personal palace maids and eunuchs, and the vast majority of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace stayed in the palace, and before the Empress Dowager Cixi left the palace, she also told the eunuchs and palace maids who stayed behind, so that none of them were allowed to be narrow-minded and waited for her to come back. If this sentence is not a perfunctory remark of the Empress Dowager Cixi, then it means that the Empress Dowager Cixi has already begun to consider the matter of peace with other countries at this time.

Later, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing and the Imperial Palace, although some palace maids and eunuchs died in the chaos, but on the whole, the palace was much safer than the outside, after all, this was the Imperial Palace, and the countries also knew that they could not destroy the Qing Court, and eventually they had to negotiate peace with the Qing Court and reap more benefits, so the Imperial Palace could not be too damaged. However, most of the palace maids and eunuchs who stayed in the palace were preserved, and later the Eight-Nation Alliance troops were stationed in the palace, and many palace maids and eunuchs were also used to do some miscellaneous and waiting things. The Internal Affairs Office is a place where palace maids and eunuchs live in the palace.

Yu Maolin was stunned, although before the war, he received an order not to leave prisoners and eliminate the various headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance as soon as possible, but this was for the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were obviously not among them. Therefore, Yu Maolin hurriedly reported to the headquarters again.

It didn't take long for Yu Maolin to receive an order from the headquarters to immediately go to reinforce the Jiaotai Palace, and for the eunuchs and palace maids of the Internal Affairs Office, he asked them to stay in the room and not come out, so as not to lose their lives by mistake, and then resettle them after the traverser occupied Beijing.
