Chapter 19: The Imperial Guard (I)
Outside Jeseong.
The officers and men of the 9th Battalion of the Anti-Terrorist Special Operations Brigade confronted each other with the Grass Emperors, and in the middle of the confrontation were more than 500 hostages.
The Anti-Terrorist Special Operations Brigade of the Imperial Guard is an old friend of the Grass Emperor, and the trick of taking hostages has always been the weakness of this force, how can the Grass Emperor not know the rule that a few dozen hostages are enough to oust the boss of the brigade?
Less than a hundred grass emperor elements are so fearless and arrogant, and the angry gaze of the anti-terrorist special operations brigade is their greatest achievement.
"Battalion, the front commander ordered, order my department to be ready to assault at any time!" The report brought by the signal corps made the battalion commander Xiao Liang stunned - what kind of order is this?
Seeing that the battalion commander was puzzled, the signal soldier added: "The staff officer of the former command has already come, and he will arrive in about 5 minutes." β
Xiao nodded his head to show that he understood, but he did not order the whole battalion to prepare for a surprise attack, this is an anti-terrorist special operations brigade, it is the first unit in the empire born for anti-terrorism, and the protection of hostages has always been their first criterion, how could Xiao Liang accept such a chaotic fate?
Although Xiao Liang also thinks that it is the best choice to attack now while the damn Grass Emperor has not yet controlled the situation! But the Imperial Guard can't do that!
The staff officer of the front command came quickly, and in less than five minutes he came in a car at a speed, and he was an operational staff officer of the brigade headquarters.
"Battalion Commander Xiao, what's going on, the commander in the city has already issued an order to forcibly rescue the two hostage placement sites, and the headquarters has been kidnapped by this dog's day, so he can only cooperate with the battle! Brigade commanded that as soon as there was an operation in the city, your troops would quickly break through the front line and go straight to the farmer's market, where there were at least 20,000 hostages! The market must be controlled! The staff officer did not greet him, but directly explained his intentions, and told the ugly story of the headquarters being kidnapped.
Xiao Liang's first reaction was disbelief, and the second reaction was that the headquarters was crazy!
What are you kidding, since the founding of the Empire, it is not that there has been such a military operation of the nature of kidnapping, but the habit of the Empire has always been to dare to do this, even if it is to cut the meat, the Military Affairs Yuan will grit its teeth and cut off the rotten meat - the will of the military has always been the will of the FΓΌhrer, because the military has no will of its own! If there is, then extinguish it!
But Xiao Liang was born into a royal family after all, and he didn't understand politics since he was a child, not to mention that he served in the Imperial Guard for 9 years and 8 years as an anti-terrorist veteran, and soon guessed part of the truth or possibility.
Terrorists always act with a purpose, and political and economic demands are inevitably the fundamental factors. The problem of money is much simpler, if force does not work, then pay for it, and then spend more military spending to kill the bastard who collects money, if it is a political demand? Then rescue by force.
This time, the damn grass emperor elements organized such a large-scale action, and there may not be any economic demands, that is, political demands - from the time he rushed to Jecheng, Xiao Liang was guessing what the grass emperor elements were crazy for this time!
Xiao Liang obviously understands the urine nature of the imperial bigwigs, and it is absolutely impossible for the generals to compromise for the sake of the political demands of the grass emperors, so he has been thinking about what means to solve the problem......
Regardless of Xiao Liang's desire to break his head, he only came up with one possibility, a strong attack, and then a river of blood - or the generals had a better way, but Xiao Lang only saw this one result.
And at what cost? Countless hot-blooded soldiers have been killed because of rat throwers, and countless civilians have died because of the crossfire.
So Xiao Liang has been worried, there is no solution to what happened in Jicheng this time!
But the news brought by the staff officer allowed Xiao Liang to find a solution with the least bloodshed - there is no doubt that it is the most correct time to solve the damned grass emperor by force now.
The bloodshed and sacrifice will definitely be a lot because of this - but this is definitely the last chance for politicians to make trouble, but the bold man will carry this black pot on his back, and even the military will be wronged because of this, and we are forced to do it for the safety of the hostages......
"That's a madman......" Xiao Liang gasped.
"I've got to see how that bastard gets judged!" The staff officer said with hatred.
Xiao Liang glanced at the staff officer coldly, and didn't make a sound, that's not a bastard, that's a fucking saint - the entire military owes this bastard a favor, and then wants to watch this madman be killed by a military court.
"!!"
Xiao Liang rarely burst out foul language, others thought he was angry at that daring man, only he knew that he was cursing those bastard politicians.
"Tell the miscellaneous on the other side, ten minutes warning, if you don't release the hostages immediately, our department will attack in ten minutes!" Xiao Liang ordered.
"Huh?" The communications corps was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the battalion commander to give such an order.
"What are you doing? Let Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao shout! By the way, call the company commanders over! β
"Yes!"
Soon, someone on the side of the Imperial Guard warned through the loudspeaker: "The grass emperor on the other side, the last warning!" Release all the hostages in ten minutes, or our troops will launch a surprise attack in ten minutes! β
"Hahahaha......" The grass emperor elements laughed wildly, such a warning seemed to them to be pure fantasy - what a joke, if the Imperial Guard really dares to attack, these more than 500 hostages will be buried with them, and then these officers of the Imperial Guard will be removed from their posts and sent to prison by those hypocrites!
No matter how the grass emperor ridiculed, Xiao Liang had already held an offensive combat meeting: "Distribute all the anesthetic bombs to the whole battalion, and everyone is equipped with special anesthetic bullets with two magazines!" After the offensive order was launched, fire was immediately opened, all the hostages were anesthetized, and the rest of the departments strengthened anti-terrorist special firepower, and after receiving the order, the opposite position was directly flooded by Lao Tzu! β
"Once the assault begins, the 2nd Company, as the lead, must decisively and quickly attack the farmers' market! If we are too late and cause the civilians in the market to be slaughtered by the grass emperors, we are the sinners of the Empire! β
"Camp, what should we do if the Grass Emperor threatens our troops with hostages during the assault?" The 2nd company commander questioned, the entire Jicheng was hijacked by the Grass Emperor, you can imagine how many hostages the Grass Emperor has in their hands!
"What are the narcotic bombs for?"
The commander of the 2nd company had a bitter face: "Camp, but if there are hostage casualties, it will be troublesome!" "The nature of the anti-terrorist force is such that several of them care about hostages, and if there is no hostage, where are the terrorists their opponents? A single assault can trample them into pulp!
"If there's a problem at the farmer's market, it's going to be even more troublesome." Xiao Liang said coldly: "There are more than 20,000 hostages there, if it is your fault that the grass emperor elements reoccupy it, our entire battalion officers will collectively drink bullets!" β
"Yes!" The officers breathed a sigh of relief, although the battalion commander said it seriously, the meaning was obvious, in order to protect the big, the small can be harmed!
The same scene took place at the same time on the various Imperial Guard positions, and the entire anti-terrorist special operations brigade was ready for a surprise attack - they could only grit their teeth and sacrifice a small number of hostages for the safety of the "hostages", because the culprit was the madman-like commander in the city.
