Chapter 242: Surprise Attack on Haizhou Wei
The cavalry brigade had not yet arrived, and Song Tao and the others were not idle, taking advantage of the darkness they picked out several villages and Zhuangzi around Haizhou City. As soon as they returned to their hidden location, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and several special combat team members immediately came to the official road with glow sticks and shook them. After a while, a fire dragon composed of countless torches appeared in the distance, rushing towards this place.
The cavalry brigade galloped for most of the night in the starry night, and although they arrived here in time, they were exhausted one by one. Song Tao raised his hand to look at the time, and let the cavalry brigade rest for an hour next to the official road.
Haizhou Wei and Gaizhou Wei are about the same size, but because they are close to Liaoyang, the eastern capital of the Tartars, the Houjin Eight Banners stationed here have a lot more personnel than Gaizhou City, but there are only more than 200 armor soldiers.
At this time, the snipers Zhang Yufei and Li Fan, who had rushed to Haizhou City to reconnoiter in advance, came back. Song Tao hurriedly walked over and asked anxiously, "How is the situation over there in Haizhou?" ”
Zhang Yufei took a sip of water from the kettle, then wiped his mouth, and said solemnly: "When Li Zi and I rushed to Haizhouwei, it was already afternoon, but we still found some situations. Many of the nearby bannermen were converging here in Haizhou City, and in order to understand the situation, we captured a Tartar who had left the city.
We interrogated him for a long time to find out that the guards of Haizhou Wei and Liaoyang had already known that Gaizhou had been attacked, but the Tartars thought that it was just the Ming army in Dongjiang Town occasionally coming ashore to harass them, so they didn't take it seriously.
Therefore, Liaoyang only symbolically sent a horse team of several hundred people, plus Haizhou Wei mobilized a thousand flag horse teams, they converged here in Haizhou City, and set off tomorrow morning to Gaizhou to clear the Ming army in Dongjiang Town.
Liaoyang's team of hundreds of horses will arrive tomorrow morning. So a lot of Tartars who are far away from Haizhou City are here tonight. Every time the Ming army in Dongjiang Town was cleared, it was in vain, and before their brigade arrived, the Ming army in Dongjiang Town had already withdrawn. Therefore, the mobilization of soldiers and horses on the Liaoyang side was relatively slow. No one wants to come on a cold day.
The bannermen who came from the surrounding area today are now stationed in the west of the city, and the horses and other things are also there. We also asked the number of Tartar soldiers in Haizhou Wei, and according to the Tartar, there are now more than 200 Tartar soldiers in Haizhou City. ”
Song Tao listened to Zhang Yufei's words, and his heart was also relieved. But suddenly there were hundreds more flags in the city. It's also a nuisance. Although they are all bannermen with their own armor and armor, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Tartars' white-armored guards, but they can't stand up to the crowd.
However, the arrow has already had to be fired, and it seems that this time the special combat team and the officers and men of the War Department will be the main force. It's not a big problem to deal with a few hundred tartars. Moreover, the number of veteran ruffians this time is close to 3,000, which is not much more than when he fought against Gai Zhouwei.
At four o'clock in the morning. Song Tao called everyone up, although they only made up for more than an hour, but they were much stronger than when they first arrived, at least they were in a lot of energy.
Song Tao asked them to put away the war horses, let the troops each swallow a compressed biscuit, replenish their energy, and then led the troops to carefully touch Haizhouwei. There is a Haicheng River next to Haizhou City, which was diverted from Haicheng River when the city was first built. made a moat, Song Tao asked the troops to hide around.
Song Tao sent a special combat team member to find Ding Weiguo and Luan Shuping, who were dozing off in the distance. In order to strengthen the reconnaissance capabilities of this winter operation. specially asked Ding Weiguo and Luan Shuping, who were accompanied by the Air Force, to follow.
Their mission was to test the use of the dismantled horse-carrying equipment of the delta-wing aircraft on the march and, if necessary, to take off as an air support force for the troops. There are also two people responsible for operating a MAV unmanned aerial system to conduct tactical reconnaissance for the troops.
Since the Ministry of the Air Force came to Vladivostok, it has taken over all the drones purchased by the company. Now this is a set of Honeywell micro-unmanned aerial systems specially equipped for special combat teams, and it can be said that it cost a lot of money to buy it at that time, and the Air Department is familiar with it. It also took a lot of effort. This micro-drone is small, weighing only 7.26 kilograms. It has a diameter of 33 cm and can be loaded with a video camera.
The camera can transmit information to the infantry portable handheld terminal. The system includes 2 UAVs. It can usually fly at an altitude of 3-152 meters above the ground. It also includes a portable ground control station that controls the aircraft and receives images from the cameras.
The ground-controlled zhì station can be used to program the flight path of the micro-drone, or manually control the zhì. The drone can also be equipped with an optoelectronic camera for daytime flight, or an infrared camera for night missions. Because this time the troops went deep into the hinterland of the Tartars, this exquisite unmanned aerial system was used for the first time.
Because of Song Tao's surprise attack on Haizhou Wei this time, Li Ming was not at ease, so he deliberately asked the two of them to follow with drones to provide reconnaissance support tasks for the troops.
Ding Weiguo rubbed his eyes, walked over and squatted beside Song Tao in a daze, and Luan Shuping behind him was struggling to carry a big box and follow behind, muttering and scolding.
Song Tao pointed to the city wall of Haizhou Wei in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Lao Ding, you and Lao Luan use drones to find several breakthroughs on the city wall for the special combat team. After the battle in the city starts, you will control the drones to patrol the area around Haizhou City for the troops, and report to me as soon as you find Tartars outside the city. ”
Ding Weiguo nodded and said: "No problem, our system has two drones, which is enough for the troops to monitor the situation near Haizhou Wei, and if necessary, we can also carry out reconnaissance and early warning missions in Haizhou Acropolis for you." ”
After he finished speaking, he and Luan Shuping unpacked the box, and took out two very small MAV drones, and with a simple operation, the two drones had all been lifted into the air. Song Tao stood behind Ding Weiguo and Luan Shuping, and the two screens on the two portable handheld terminals clearly presented the images of the Haizhou Guardhouse and the city.
Song Tao asked the special combat team to take out a self-inflatable raft and row across the moat. Song Tao held thermal imaging night vision binoculars and used headphones to constantly contact the special combat team members to indicate the specific location of the Tartar sentries on the city wall.
A group of professionally trained special combat personnel, wearing night vision devices, holding Glock pistols with silencers, and equipped with a large amount of special operations equipment, still chose to carry out infiltration operations in the dark early morning, at least in this era, there is almost no place to stop them.
After a while, there was a "crunch" in the darkness in the distance...... Crunch......" The sound of the noose turning, the drawbridge of the moat began to slowly lower, and more than a dozen special combat team members ran out of the city gate, shaking glow sticks.
Song Tao turned around and ordered loudly: "Everyone try to be careful when entering the city, don't alarm them." We first destroyed the Tartars in the barracks west of the city, and then the troops began to wash the city. The first and second battalions followed me, and the others were platoons to occupy all the key points in the city first, and then attack after my order. Okay, let's go into town ......."
After he finished speaking, he took the first battalion and the second battalion to enter Haizhou City, and a platoon of the War Department still went up to the city wall as usual and established several machine-gun positions in the direction of the four city gates. Zhang Yufei and Li Fan also climbed to the top of the city gate tower and used an M40 sniper rifle equipped with a thermal imaging scope to observe the Tartar military camp in the west of the city.
Song Tao led the special combat team and nearly 1,000 elite soldiers of the first and second battalions, and when they entered the city, they rushed directly to the Tartar military camp in the west of the city, where hundreds of bannermen around Haizhou Wei were gathered. They must be eliminated before the troops entering the city can attack.
To the west of the city there was a military camp of the Tartars, where hundreds of Tartars were settled. Song Tao had already learned about the situation of the military camp outside the city through the images transmitted by the drone, and he contacted Zhang Yufei and Li Fan through the headphones.
"This military camp in the west of the city, can you control the location of the two of you?"
Zhang Yufei observed the Tartar barracks with a scope, and said into the earphones: "I have a good location here, I can observe 80% of the barracks, and the northwest is a dead end." There are a total of four sentry posts in the barracks, all of which are within my control range. ”
Li Fan smiled bitterly: "My position is not good, and there are less than half of the places where I can control zhì, but the northwest corner is no problem." I can control two sentry posts. ”
Song Tao had a bottom in his heart when he heard it, so he didn't need Ding Weiguo's drone to fly to support.
He said coldly: "It's about to attack, you knock out all the sentries here for me first." Keep an eye on the situation in the barracks, and report any anomalies to me. ”
After he finished speaking, he made a few gestures, and more than a dozen special combat soldiers jumped into the barracks on a human ladder. Zhang Yufei said with a smile: "Lizi, two and one are added to five, and the southeast two are mine." ”
Li Fan replied with a smile: "No problem, let's start work......"
"Poof...... ......After a few muffled sounds, the two of them pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, knocking out the four dozing sentries in the barracks.
Hundreds of Tartars were sleeping in a surrounding house, and it was past four o'clock in the morning, when people were most sleepy. Song Tao and more than a dozen special combat team members cautiously walked into the Tartar barracks, and there was still silence all around.
They shook off their AK74 automatic rifles, pulled out their Glock pistols, pressed the silencer, and touched the houses around the barracks. More than 1,000 soldiers and ruffians also cautiously walked into the Tartar barracks under the leadership of their respective squad and platoon commanders, and they ran to the doors of each house, ready to answer at any time.
Suddenly, Zhang Yufei, who was observing the barracks, noticed a figure walking out of the house with a thermal imaging scope, and the soldiers had not yet arranged outside the door of this room.
He hurriedly shouted into the earphones: "Song Tao, a tartar from the northeast has come out." ”
Zhang Yufei pulled the trigger after speaking, although he shot the Tartar as soon as he could, but the Tartar still shouted loudly before he died. (To be continued)
