Chapter 142: Rushing to the Rescue and Fighting the Fire
When it was almost dark, the troops finally set off, and Li Hanzhi, with the help of the dart divisions of the Yixing Dart Bureau, quickly requisitioned and gathered more than 100 civilian transport ships, loaded with more than 4,000 soldiers and all kinds of logistics materials, and sailed away from the Fangchengjiang wharf.
Lin Xiao was concerned about the chaos, he thought that the transport ship was too slow, so he transferred two pirate speedboats, selected more than 20 people from Situ Zheng's special operations squadron, and then brought Wang Dong, he wanted to leave the main fleet and go straight to Nanning.
The special operations group has a total of more than 120 people in two squadrons, and each squadron is divided into three squadrons, and each squadron of more than 20 people is divided into three groups, including six in the assault group, six in the firepower group, and eight in the sniper group, plus one squad leader.
In terms of weapons, in addition to a pistol, a military spur, and various special tools such as iron claws and ropes, the assault team has an M4 carbine, the fire team has two machine guns, and the sniper team is more different, with the front shooter using a sniper rifle, and the observer being equipped with a carbine and a pair of binoculars.
This time, in addition to the equipment of conventional weapons, Lin Xiao finally took out the Barrett M82A1 anti-materiel sniper rifle at the bottom of the box to equip the sniper group, this gun is equipped with M3 super optical sight, using 12.7mm large-caliber bullets (called point 50 caliber in the West), which is huge, and the US military often uses it to attack the enemy's off-road vehicles and light armored vehicles.
Even with ordinary bullets, this gun can penetrate a steel plate nearly one centimeter thick at a distance of 500 meters, with an effective range of more than 1,800 meters and a maximum lethal range of up to 2,500 meters; Not only ordinary bullets were found in the container, but also some armor-piercing and armor-piercing incendiary bullets, using which a steel plate one centimeter thick can be penetrated at a distance of 1,000 meters, and the theoretical lethal range of this bullet is as high as a terrifying 6,000 meters.
Even with ordinary bullets, the range of this gun has far exceeded that of the red-coated cannon, so Lin Xiao used it as the second killer weapon to suppress the current space-breech cannon in addition to mortars.
The disadvantage is that the total weight of this cargo is 13 kilograms, which is really inconvenient to carry, so it is only issued to special combat teams, each team is equipped with one, and two shooters are needed to serve it, plus three "bird sniper" teams in the regular configuration, each special operations team has a total of four sniper rifles.
When he was about to get on the boat, Zhang Chenfeng rushed to the shore to say goodbye, these people were all trained by him, and he went into battle for the first time, but Lin Xiao only took such a few people to go first, he was a little uneasy, and some of the key points of the battle had to be emphasized to the soldiers in private.
As he was talking, he saw Duan Zhenghong hurrying over with several soldiers, who were carrying a mortar and several ammunition boxes on their shoulders.
As soon as he saw Lin Xiao, Duan Zhenghong hurriedly shouted, "Captain, I'm here to help in the battle." ”
"Why are you not going to lead the troops, what are you doing here?" Lin Xiao frowned.
"My soldiers were split into three parts by you, and there is only one company left under your command, just hand it over to the company commander to take it, and I will follow you and protect you." Duan Zhenghong said with a hippie smile.
"Uh......"
"Captain, let him follow...... There is a response to some of them. Before Lin Xiao could answer, Zhang Chenfeng beside him whispered.
Duan Zhenghong's thoughts, Zhang Chenfeng knows.
On the day when Lin Xiao was seriously injured and fell into a coma last time, Ding Shuai and Zhang Chenfeng saw that Duan Zhenghong's anger had not subsided, and the whole world was shouting that they wanted to enter the city to find Jinyiwei for revenge, for fear that he would be angry and cause trouble, so they accompanied him to drink bitter wine at the headquarters, intending to get him drunk and sleep well.
As a result, when he was about to get drunk, Duan Zhenghong talked a lot, and one of the words made Zhang Chenfeng also moved to tears.
"I am a rural soldier from northern Shaanxi, and my family lives very hard...... Originally, after two years of service, he would go back to farming...... It was the captain who recruited me into the special combat team, taught me how to be a man, taught me all kinds of skills, and took care of me everywhere...... I received a non-commissioned officer's salary in the first month of joining the team, my mother is so happy...... Talk to people everywhere...... My boy, there's a chance to ......."
"Now, my home is gone, and my mother is gone...... The captain is mine...... Parents, ...... I'm not going to let him out and risk him alone...... I really can't stop him, so I'll follow him, as long as I, Duan Zhenghong, am there...... I'll give him a bullet block, a hidden blocker...... No one wants to kill him......"
……
Duan Zhenghong and the others still squeezed into the speedboat, and galloped all the way from Zuojiang to Yongjiang, and when they reached Nanning, the east was already slightly white.
Looking from afar, he found that Nanning City was in flames, Lin Xiao chuckled in his heart, and a bad feeling rose from his heart.
Could it be that Sun Kewang had already attacked Nanning City so soon?
After landing, Lin Xiao didn't go to the barracks anymore, and a group of twenty-eight people rushed all the way to the east city gate, but when they approached, they found that the city gate was closed, and there were soldiers on duty on the city tower, not like a large army entering.
Lin Xiao estimated that he would not be able to open the city gate at this time, and in order to test the ability of his group of special combat members, he led everyone all the way along the city wall to a secluded place, and asked them to quietly climb the wall one by one.
It didn't take long for the group to go up one after another, and the first to go up was to knock down a few Ming soldiers who were patrolling, so that they were silent, except for a few mortars who were a little slower, Lin Xiao was very satisfied with the performance of the others.
Looking into the city at a glance, there are places where fires break out in the four corners of Nanning City, there are always more than a dozen places, the shadows of people in the firelight, those who fight fires, those who flee, the sound of gongs, shouts, and screams are noisy.
"Someone is taking advantage of the chaos to set fires, right?"
Duan Zhenghong said first, how could it be such a coincidence, and there were fires everywhere at the same time?
Lin Xiao summoned the Ming army patrol posts, briefly asked about the situation in the city, and learned that Li Yuanyin's forbidden army had all gone to the front line, and the defenders of the city were Zhang Tongchang's new army, and they had not yet seen the shadow of the rebels, so they were a little calm.
"Let's go, go first, put out the fire."
Lin Xiao gave an order, and everyone went down the city wall and rushed straight to a nearby fire.
When they got closer, they saw that several wooden houses were almost burned to the ground, and many soldiers and civilians were rushing over with buckets and wooden basins to pour water on the surrounding area to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding area.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao casually took the wooden bucket in the hand of a nearby person, ran to the fire and poured the water out, and when he was about to retreat, he only heard a call: "My lord, it turned out to be you." ”
Lin Xiao looked back and looked at the person standing in the dark, dressed in a coarse cloth, but it was the old man named Tang Ping.
"Uncle, are you there too? Don't come, okay? Lin Xiao replied with a happy face, the bucket he took just now was this soup.
"Back to my lord, can't I wait to live around here, and when I see a fire, I will run over to take a look." Tang Ping responded.
"Oh, you guys...... Is it still in this shantytown? Didn't go out to find odd jobs? ”
"I'm ashamed to say that I can't find any work, I have nowhere to go, so I have been stranded here...... However, thanks to the blessings of adults, everyone can almost eat half full now. Tang Ping waved his hand and said.
"Oh, that's good, that's called ...... Shuang'er, but went to Qinzhou, to help in the school, or the old man also went to Qinzhou to see, there are a few factories waiting to open, maybe there is a shortage of manpower. ”
"Then thank you, little old man, I must go over and have a look." Tang Ping shook his head again when he heard this.
Lin Xiao didn't care to talk to him much, and then took the wooden basin in the other person's hand and rushed straight to the fire.
(Question: What is the name of the weapon used by the Guanning Iron Cavalry?) )
