Chapter 302: Betrayed by an Informant?

An accident is called an accident because it is always unexpected, not in your calculations. An Yanxin and his Navy SEALs were passing by a Qing army stronghold between Zones A and B when they encountered an accident that embarrassed them.

In the dome light curtain, they have undergone the most rigorous training, and they have also experienced various thrilling battle scenes. But the clones didn't teach them how to control their horses at night so that they didn't make a big noise.

The MI informant had provided An Yanxin with a thick coarse cloth to wrap the horses' hooves, but this still did not completely conceal the noise of the domestic horses in the dark night.

When they passed by a Qing stronghold by leading their horses in the darkness of the night, the Qing sentries fired warning shots in the direction of the suspicious sound, and then the civilian horses exploded. An Yanxin and his team members looked at each other, with a look of "not surprised, not surprised?" Expression.

“Shit! Is this exposed? This is the first stronghold! An Yanxin was also speechless about this sudden accident, and he was afraid that the sneaking that seemed good would not be possible.

This will be the Manchurian people have been using the telegraph to transmit information, the traditional post station has long been abolished, but the common people are still very taboo in the first Wu period of those erected in their field of the telephone poles, thinking that these things will suck away the earth's qi is not conducive to the growth of crops, and even think that some poles will destroy the feng shui to bring disaster to them, so the Manchu people had to abolish the original post station and add soldiers to guard the telegraph line.

The official road between Tianjin Wei and Beiping is also an important place in Gyeonggi, and along the way, there are green battalions led by the Eight Banners Infantry Military Battalion, and there are Eight Banners Xiao Cavalry Battalion led by the commanders and captains of various places, and there are also Yongying Liutun to become a defense army.

Therefore, after the Navy SEALs completed the task of providing ground guidance for the air raids, they would encounter various Qing army combat units that were not subordinate to each other on the road from the capital to Tianjinwei. Originally, An Yanxin thought that they would be able to calmly penetrate the defense lines of the Qing army with their own night vision equipment, but those untrained horses allowed them to reveal their whereabouts when they passed the first Qing stronghold they encountered tonight.

An Yanxin and they encountered a green battalion soldier with only a dozen or so people, although the battle happened suddenly, but the whole process can be fully described in four words at most - suddenly, suddenly.

An Yanxin didn't pay much attention to this accident, the Qing army in this vicinity was backward and chaotic, and the communication was basically based on roaring, and this swift green battalion had all been shot by the Navy SEALs, he felt that they could still sneak to the supply point in Area B under the cover of night.

However, another surprise happened that made An Yanxin jaw-dropping, and these non-subordinate Qing troops scattered along the retreat route of the Navy SEALs suddenly rushed in the direction of the gunshots.

Anyone with even a modicum of modern military common sense would think that at night, in the absence of night vision equipment and the blockage of communications, military personnel stationed at the stronghold should choose to stand by and respond to the gunfire that occurs outside their camp at night.

However, tonight, An Yanxin is facing these opponents who are not trained in the current military, well, let's no longer hack the word "army". These Qing troops stationed at various points between Tianjin Wei and the capital are simply a group of undisciplined people called Huazi!

In addition to the slightly better treatment of the flag soldiers of the Eight Banners Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the remaining green battalion soldiers and Liutun battalion warriors were deducted from the silver layer by layer, and they were only mixed up in normal times.

Compared with the miscellaneous soldiers of the Qing army stationed in various places, their situation is even worse, and the emperor on the other side's side of the mountain is high, and the emperor can still rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and he also eats Haiti and set up cards for blackmail to fill his stomach. And their station is on the edge of the imperial city, and any passing person on this road may easily strangle their officials, or have a relationship with the officials. Therefore, although they guarded the official road where merchants gathered every day, they could only live on that meager salary.

After hearing a brief battle in the distance during the night, the beggars did not choose to stay at their station, but instead rushed out of their nests under the leadership of their leaders and hurried in the direction where the gunfire came.

The tacit unity of these Qing army miscellaneous soldiers was not to spy on the enemy or support friendly forces, they had only one purpose - to take advantage of the fire to loot. They had been stationed around here for some time, and there could not be a large number of anti-Qing forces around Gyeonggi, but they knew very well in their hearts that the burst of gunfire just now could not have come from a friendly exchange of fire with a strong enemy.

Maybe it was a group of blind little thieves who bumped into the muzzle of the friendly army, or maybe it was a play directed and performed by the friendly army in order to rob the people, anyway, the Qing army who heard the gunfire would not have thought that there was already a swift green battalion soldier who had been slaughtered, and they all rushed over and waited for a big plunder. Who killed someone in the middle of the night and set fire to loot things, no one can say, it is a good time to take advantage of the fire to rob!

"I'm rubbing, why are so many people rushing here, we can't have stabbed a hornet's nest, right?" Looking in the distance as a line of torches moved towards him, a Navy SEAL scolded.

"Damn, we're not going to be sold, are we? When did the soldiers of the Manchurians have such efficiency? An Yanxin said.

An Yanxin's first reaction was that he had been betrayed by an informant from the Military Intelligence Department, otherwise the Qing army would not have reacted so quickly to the firefight just now. As for the possibility of going out to kill and rob people at night, it is difficult for any soldier with a sense of honor to guess.

"This is Daredevil One, call Big Lawn Mower One." If you are betrayed by an informant, then don't think about sneaking to the supply point in Area B while it is dark, or call the Air Force Dad to come to the town.

"This is Big Lawn Mower No. 1, please tell me." The AC-130U, which had just finished dismantling the old witch's stage, replied to the SEALs' call.

"We seem to have been sold, and many Qing troops are moving in our direction with torches. We are near Yellow 78 in Area A and are requesting air support. An Yanxin said.

“Copy,ETA15minutes.” The AC-130U crew replied.

Even at the end of the nineteenth century, when Tianjin Wei and the capital had not yet expanded their urban areas, the distance between the two cities in a straight line did not exceed 150 kilometers, and the speed of the big lawn mower of more than 400 kilometers per hour could fly above An Yanxin's head in a turn.

"Holy! So many people? Looks like he's been sold! Zhang Yu didn't need any observation equipment to see the fire dragon composed of torches on the ground from the window.

Overlooking the scene from a high altitude with a fully active low-light night vision camera, the crew members of the AC-130U knew the "gravity" of the situation better than An Yanxin, and in the screen in front of them, they found at least 15 to 2,000 Qing soldiers rushing in the direction of the Navy SEALs.
