Chapter 22: The Flying Tiger Battalion Goes to Battle
The battle to attack the palace began. Lin Xincheng commanded the various units of the Flying Tiger Battalion to launch a fierce attack on the banner soldiers of the Duerbert Palace! For a time, the sound of gunfire was like bursting beans, shrapnel flew all over the sky, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world. Everywhere there are the figures of our soldiers charging, and everywhere there are scenes of fierce battles between the two sides.
Prince Durbot originally had 3,000 banner soldiers under his command, and when Ren Laifeng led 500 elite soldiers to attack, although Ren Laifeng himself was seriously injured and nearly half of the 500 elite soldiers were lost, the Durbot banner soldiers suffered thousands of casualties! Now the total number of banner soldiers left in the palace is less than 2,000.
This time, Lin Xincheng brought over 2,000 reinforcements! Among the two thousand people, there is an artillery detachment, an elite Flying Tiger battalion, plus Feng Wenying's sixth detachment, Zhou Lin's fourth detachment, and the remaining less than three hundred people after the last battle. Bringing all these people together, our army has an advantage in terms of troops.
In terms of firepower and the quality of the soldiers, our army has an absolute advantage, and the outcome of this battle is decided before the battle begins! The outcome of the big side has been decided, and it is inevitable that individual positions will encounter slight difficulties. Yao Wenlong led the newly established Flying Tiger Battalion to encounter a hard bone during the attack, and he hit the largest artillery tower in the south!
The turret in the south was built by Gushan Beizi, and the soldiers in the turret were all private soldiers of the Beizi family, and they had no affiliation with the royal soldiers. Prince Durbert paid them military salaries, but did not participate in military command and management, which is probably the prototype of mercenaries, right?
There were not many enemies in the running building, only one or two hundred people. Relying on the tall turrets, the wide field of vision, and the not weak firepower, these people have successfully blocked the strong attacks of our army again and again. After several strong attacks, the number of officers and men killed and wounded in the Flying Tiger Battalion is absolutely staggering.
After another attack, Yao Wenlong ordered his troops to temporarily halt the attack. He had to hurry up and think of a way to reduce casualties, otherwise, if he attacked like this a few more times, I was afraid that the Flying Tiger Battalion would not exist for the second time!
It seems that I heard the friendly troops cheering for victory, but the turret on my side blocked the way, and so many people died and didn't get it down. Yao Wenlong originally planned to wait until after dark at night before leading the troops to launch a sneak attack, but now looking at the situation, I am afraid that someone should take over the task on his side before it gets dark!
For a troop, it is a shame in itself to hand over a task that cannot be completed by oneself to someone else! Yao Wenlong will never allow this kind of shame to happen to himself. Therefore, he had to find a way to get the turret before it got dark!
Send someone to change into civilian clothes and sneak up in front of the turret to install explosives. Before the knot bomb could be detonated, the machine gun above the turret rang out, "Da Da Da!" Da-da-da-da! "The crisp sound of gunfire resounded through the sky, and the plainclothes demomen of our army were again knocked down several times.
"Bastard!" Yao Wenlong scolded, his eyes were red. As soon as he raised his hand, he called a signal soldier, "You go to the artillery detachment to find the Cai detachment, and say that I, Yao Wenlong, ask him to provide artillery support to our department and shell the enemy pillbox at 15 degrees 15 minutes and 36 seconds south-west of the palace!" ”
Yao Wenlong and Cai Gaofeng are both academics, they both joined the guerrillas at the same time, and they are also the same age, and they usually have a good personal relationship. Now let Cai Gaofeng do me a favor, I guess he shouldn't refuse, right? Yao Wenlong and the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion waited quietly.
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" The soldiers stood one after another, and one of them, a tall young soldier, strode forward. Wherever he went, soldiers approached him to tell him about the latest developments on the battlefield. Yao Wenlong nodded slowly as he listened, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
"Brethren, I have asked for support from the artillery detachment. After a while of the shelling, the big guys paid attention to the order. No matter what time it is, as soon as you give the order, you will start fighting immediately! Yao Wenlong is not afraid to tell anyone about his friendship with Cai Gaofeng, they came together.
The artillery detachment really gave face, as soon as Yao Wenlong's words fell here, the shelling over there began!
"Boom! Bang! Bang! Explosions followed, and the earth trembled, as if the end of the world had come. When there is also the sound of cannonballs flying through the air, "Squeak-boom!" ”
Finally waited for the shelling to end, Yao Wenlong raised his head and looked, okay, the artillery tower doesn't need to be hit, our artillery will finish it with artillery! At least three floors of the five-storey turret collapsed, leaving only the few half-blocks hidden in the pile of bricks. I don't know if there are any living people in it.
"Rush, kill the devil! - Yao Wenlong raised his pistol and gave the order to attack, and the soldiers shouted to kill, jumped up and rushed to the collapsed turret.
Half of the turret had collapsed, and the entrance and exit below had been completely buried by broken bricks, and if you wanted to get in, you had to go through the blasted opening in the roof. No one knows whether there are living people in it, Yao Wenlong was a little hesitant, he hesitated to send someone in to find out. At this moment, the signal corpsman came running over with a wireless phone, and the commander had a telephone.
"Wenlong, how is the situation over there? Did the South Turret come down? Lin Xincheng's voice came from the microphone. Although the microphone caused the sound to be a little distorted, and there was noise in the microphone, it was always possible to tell that it was Cai Gaofeng who was speaking.
"The turret has been knocked down. But there is still a slight problem. Yao Wenlong was also guarding against Cai Gaofeng, neither of them was the kind of person who had nothing to do. There's nothing I can't say about my work.
"What's the problem with the turrets being knocked down?" Cai Gaofeng is quite strange, why is there still a problem after the battle is over?
Yao Wenlong pointed to the remaining half of the turret with his hand and expressed his concerns. In case there are still enemies in the room who are not finished, let's go, they re-organize their equipment below, and after resting, who can stand it while people don't jump out and do it? But if someone is sent down to search for it, in case no living people can be found inside, and all the corpses that are brought out are dead bodies, will the guerrilla officers and soldiers say that he Yao Wen is as cowardly as a rat in the future?
"So what do you mean? Do you want me to blow up the remaining half of the turret? I can't! I don't have too many shells on my side to make up the turret, I helped you blow up the turret, and you asked me to help you blow up the remaining third? You must know that the unit you are leading now is the Flying Tiger Battalion, the predecessor of our guerrillas! I can't do this little work, what is the Flying Tiger Camp called, just call it the Sleeping Cat Camp, forget it, the Flying Tiger Camp, give it to me! ”
