Chapter 337: Into the Mountain
"Poof!" There was a muffled sound, like the sound of a rag being torn, not loud, and it did not attract attention in the slightest, because there were too many things to keep the Japanese troops near Shenyang busy tonight. [Reading Network] (Reading Network, the fastest text update wonderful novel!) **Biqu Pavilion updated the fastest**The garrison camp outside the city was bombed, the prisoner of war camp was set on fire, the prisoners of war did not know where to go, and the reinforced troops were intercepted by American bombers and fighters, and suffered heavy casualties. The defenders around the airfield were attacked by planes, and then they were hit hard by ground forces, and the airfield was lost! The plane of the US military landed at the airport and took off again! All this was tossed so that the unsuspecting Japanese troops ran in all directions, but there was no goal.
Because of these events, and the fear that American planes would bomb the moving trains, all the trains had already entered the station near the railroad and were waiting for further orders.
A Japanese soldier standing on the edge of the railroad stood with his pen tǐng, his eyes looking around, and the searchlight swept here from time to time, shining in front of him. The muffled sound of tearing made him subconsciously turn his head, and then he felt that something had bitten his neck. I stretched out my hand and stretched out my hand, and I was sure of the warm liquid of one hand.
"Mouth!" He wanted to scream, but the gas he spewed out of Xiong's cavity could only make red bubbles at the ruptured throat, and then there was a "hehe" sound, his consciousness began to blur, and then he heard more "poof" tearing sounds, his body was soft, and when he fell, like a mollusk, his head hit the ground, and he saw a hazy figure running towards him as fast as he could, and constantly passing over his body. It was the last scene he saw.
One after another, the Japanese sentries fell, and sniper rifles equipped with mufflers continued to send these people to hell. There was a barracks next to the railway, where the camp of the railway garrison was located. Two Japanese sentries were already lying on the ground, his head pierced. More than a dozen figures penetrated in, the mortars on the periphery had already been set up, and with the command of "start", the artillery ran to attack first, and the sound of continuous explosions of "boom-" alarmed the entire barracks. As if it had exploded, the Japanese woke up in a hurry, and they rushed out and tried to grab their weapons from the mén mouth, but they were quickly swept away by the machine guns in ambush on both sides. So the task of seizing the train is very easy. The battle was over in less than ten minutes.
In fact, such tactics have been trained for a long time for the brothers in the company, and before that, they had practiced in actual combat in the prisoner of war camp, and now the courage comes more handy. Remove the sentry post and encircle and annihilate it. Finally, the train locomotive was seized, and until the train began to "rumble" out of the start, and smoke came out, the rescued soldiers had not fully reacted. Originally, they were ready to make a big move, and they were even very dissatisfied with Major Parks letting them wait on the sidelines, and they desperately needed to vent their hatred to the Japanese army, and they had to slaughter a few Japanese with their own hands to calm their minds.
"Oh my God, they're a bunch of killing machines." Gagliano sat in an open-top carriage with a Japanese rifle on a train that was supposed to transport munitions produced in the camp. It's their trophy now, "perfect attack." If our army were like this, we wouldn't be here for more than two years! He said, looking a little frustrated, compared to the company led by Major Parks, their combat effectiveness was nothing.
"They are jīng rui in the U.S. military!" Colonel Langer said with some emotion. ##笔趣阁看xiao说必去##很显然, the whole process of the company led by Parks from the sneak attack on the prisoner of war camp to the occupation of the station and the snatching of the train seems to be very perfect, and the tactical literacy of each soldier is very high, which is incomparable to ordinary American soldiers. It shook him. Although he did not see the battle to seize the airfield, the fact that the two platoons of soldiers rushed back intact to converge is enough to explain everything.
Parks wasn't as idle, and he was in the cab discussing his next move with the Captain Wales. The train was driven by soldiers in the company, and there was no technical content, and Parks knew the driving of this kind of train very well, and a simple teaching could make those Xiao guys from the factory master the tricks of driving.
"If we take advantage of the night time and do our best, the train may reach the Liaoyuan area, but we obviously don't have enough time to find the prisoner of war camp and rescue people." Wales took advantage of the dim light in the cab to look at the map that was pounced on the lid of a box, frowned, and said: "Lacey, if the Japanese are not fools, they will definitely set up pursuers along the way to intercept us." As soon as the day dawns, we will fall into a passive situation, and the train will no longer be our cover! ”
Parks nodded, the two had reached an agreement on this, now it was about how to avoid the Japanese and then rescue General Wainwright from the prisoner of war camp. The Japanese prisoner of war camp in Shenyang was destroyed, and after the prisoners of war escaped, they would definitely take strict care of the prisoner of war camp in the Liaoyuan area, of course, one thing is for sure, the Japanese would not easily kill those prisoners of war in the Liaoyuan area, because they were all high-ranking generals of the Allied forces, either major generals or lieutenant generals. The Japanese did not have the guts yet, especially in a war that was already close to defeat, and they would have some scruples. This can already be seen, General Wainwright and the others in the prisoner of war camp are getting better day by day, they can eat well, and they can have time to move freely, although the space is strictly limited, but it is much better than the torture they received before.
"Harry, it looks like we're going to split into two groups again." Parks pondered for a moment, then he turned to Captain Wales, "The company must be separated from these rescued soldiers. The company's task was to rescue the generals, and this team of more than 1,000 people was responsible for attracting the attention of the Japanese army. Let's expand at the same time! ”
Major Parks had clearly taken into account the daunting nature of the task. He already had a plan in mind, but it was a bit difficult, and the difficulty was the question of where the more than 1,500 liberated Allied troops would go. The target is too big, and although they have weapons in their hands, their physical fitness is seriously damaged, their combat effectiveness is not large, and they have no supplies, so they can't play much role, and these people themselves can't leave it alone, so how to safely send these captives out of China is the biggest problem. And after the capture of the prisoner camps, how did the rescued generals send them out of the Japanese occupation zone?
The night sè in the sky gradually faded, and the sky began to light up. The train smoked through the woods, through the wilderness, and made a loud noise, and the monotonous sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails was clear in the early morning wilderness, and could be heard far away.
A Japanese soldier raised a flag at the station, signaling the train to stop, but although the train was already slowing down, it was obvious that it did not stop immediately, and still pushed forward with a bang. **Bi Qu Pavilion is the fastest update**The Japanese soldiers on both sides who were about to intercept suddenly hurriedly moved out of the way to both sides!
"Yaga!" A Japanese commander waved his command knife, and the Japanese troops in ambush on both sides immediately attacked the moving train, and two tanks followed the train to shell.
"Boom!" With a bang, a train of cars was deflected off the tracks by a cannonball, and then drove the front and back carriages to roll over continuously, and then the entire section of the train was like a dead snake, swinging its tail on the ground next to the tracks, dragging the whole train alive. Then there was a "boom", there was an explosion, and a fire ignited.
"Surround them!" The commander of the Japanese army gave the order, and his command knife was pointed at the train car that had fallen on its side on the side of the tracks, and the soldiers who were in ambush on both sides of the track jumped up and charged towards the car. But the whole carriage was silent, and there was no movement, except for the sound of a fire burning and the occasional explosion.
"Sir, it's empty inside!" A lieutenant officer reported loudly to the commander, "All the carriages have been inspected, not a single prisoner is inside, this is an empty train!" ”
Empty! The commander was stunned for a moment, he received an order from his superiors that there were more than 1,500 Allied prisoners of war in this train, and they were much stronger, and the train tried to escape, and now it seems that the train was captured, but the prisoners were gone.
While the Japanese commander was scolding and scolding in annoyance, Parks had already gone far with his people. They did not dare to appear on the main road, but chose the xiao road and the woods. Although this may slow down the march, it will help to get rid of the Japanese manhunt and encirclement of them.
"I can't walk!" Colonel Langer was a little out of breath, his thin body looked a little shaky in the early morning wind, he supported the trunk of the tree beside him with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and said to Captain Gagliano, who was also panting, "Captain, go and suggest to Major Parks that we need to rest!" In fact, the situation of these prisoners of war was similar to that of the two of them, each of them seemed very tired, and their emaciated bodies seemed a little overwhelmed.
"I agree, sir!" Captain Gagliano nodded, took a few breaths, stabilized his mind, and then walked quickly to Parks in front of him and said, "Major Parks, please!" ”
Parks stopped, turned to look at Captain Gagliano, who was talking to him, and said, "Captain, is there something wrong?" ”
"I think we need to rest now!" Captain Gagliano nodded at Parks, then turned sideways and pointed at the soldiers behind him, "Look at what they look like now, they are tired, after yesterday's battle and today's march, I think their bodies have not recovered, if they don't get rest, they will collapse." ”
Parks nodded, this is true, but if you rest now, the situation will definitely get worse, and the Japanese manhunt will soon be in full swing. When the time comes, once they fight, they will be surrounded or intercepted by the Japanese army.
"Captain, I know you're right. But we can't rest yet! Parks looked at the soldiers who were looking at him longingly, and he couldn't help but shake his head, "If you must rest, maybe you don't mind entering a Japanese prisoner of war camp a second time." I'm sure they wouldn't mind another death march or something like that! ”
Parks' words instantly overturned the longing of the soldiers who were slumped on the ground. They reluctantly stood up. At this time, Colonel Ranny also came over, and he frowned at Parks and said, "Mr. Major, I know you have a point, but if we continue on the march, we will have people fall on the road, and they will lose their combat effectiveness before they even have time to fight the Japanese!" ”
Parks glanced at Major Langer and frowned: "Mr. Colonel, I respect your opinion, but falling on the march and being captured by the Japanese, I will choose the former." I hope you understand! ”
Colonel Langer looked at Parks' determined eyes, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, Mr. Major, although you did not convince me, I still keep my promise, I am under your command, and I will obey your orders!" ”
"Very good!" Parks nodded, "I hope you don't mind, we're not out of danger yet, and we're going to do our best to get rid of the Japanese before we can rest and move on to the next mission." Ignoring the two of them, he said to Wales, "Harry, let the brothers help those who can't walk." We can't leave any of them behind! ”
"Well, you're always right!" Wales gave Parks 1ù a helpless smile, and then began to beckon the company's brothers to lay down the order.
"Hell, I can't walk. Why do you want me to go? A soldier, barely supporting his body, couldn't help but complain to his companion, "Gast, is this guy Japanese?" He can't do that to us! ”
"Shut up, man, he got you out of the Japanese, you're a soldier now, not a prisoner of war. Be sober, we have to obey orders! The man named Gast glanced at his grumbling companion, "Consider that we've left that damned prisoner of war camp, what's the point of being tortured like this?" Neil, don't complain! All right? ”
"Are you speaking for that ignorant major? Prendergast! Neil was obviously a little dissatisfied, but he still carried the Japanese 38 rifle, which seemed heavy at this time, and marched forward step by step, and he had to move, because the whole team was moving again, whether they wanted it or not.
"If you're going to think so, then I'm telling you, yes!" Gast nodded.
Yes, complaints like Neil's are indispensable. The quality of these prisoners of war is already uneven, the whole is a ragtag army of the multinational force, Americans, British, Australians, etc., it is inevitable to complain one way or another, and the people of these three countries can speak English, which makes the complaints more resonant, but there are also people who scoff at these complaints.
"Hey, man, do you need me to help you?" Neil was about to say a few more words about his complaints, when a voice came from the front, and a soldier from the American commando team walked over, and he frowned at Neil and said, "You look weak." Come on, give me your rifle and the bullet bag! Without saying anything, he took the rifle and other equipment, and then took the kettle beside him and said, "Come on, you look tired, although the food of the Japanese is unpalatable, it will not affect our good appetite, don't spend it!" As he spoke, he kicked over a Japanese soldier's military can.
"Thank you, brother!" Neil looked at the soldier in surprise and said, "Thank you very much." As he spoke, he opened the can, and suddenly scolded: "Damn, it's rice balls and pickles!" "This is the usual practice of the Japanese army, and now with the continuous loss of the war, the supply of supplies for the Japanese army is becoming more and more difficult, they put rice balls and pickles in boxes and make temporary cans, so that they can be stored for a few days, but soon these will be consumed, and there is no need to worry about the expiration date. Actually, it's not called canned food at all, it's just rice balls in cans.
"Very nice and delicious!" At this time, Gast stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of rice balls from the can, put it in his mouth, and nodded, "It's much better than our prisoner of war camp!" He was right, since May, the food of the prisoners of war in the camp has been very poor, their breakfast: four days a week to drink long-handled ladle green tea; Drink one ounce of porridge three days a week. Lunch was a long ladle of boiled cabbage and a little belly foam, an ounce of potatoes and 2 ounces of beetroot. Dinner was two ounces of porridge. It doesn't add up to about 3oo calories. And they also have to participate in the labor of the factory, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Gast is delicious. And even when Neil complained, he didn't stop stuffing rice balls and pickles into his mouth.
"What's your name, brother!" Gast grabbed another handful of rice balls and stuffed them into his mouth, and asked the commando vaguely.
"Just call me White!" The commando looked at the two of them and felt a little sad. Obviously, from this, you can see what the torture of these people is like, "Those Japanese are really damned!" ”
"Yes, I agree with that!" Neil nodded as he walked, "They should have died a long time ago." Especially the emperor of Japan, if one day we can get on Japanese soil, I want that guy to commit suicide, this is what they demand from the loser. ”
"There will be a day!" White nodded. He walked side by side with the two men, a group of people from different countries, but from the moment they were rescued, they had a strong desire to fight the Japanese army, which came from the inhuman torture they had suffered in the prisoner of war camp.
Parks walked ahead of the group, and in front of them was a xiao road, which led to a verdant mountain, and Parks could see from the map that by bypassing this mountain, they could reach the vicinity of the prisoner of war camp. Although it may take longer to walk the mountains than the main road, it is also safer than the main road.
In the early morning sun, a group of ragged Western troops was heading towards the mountains.
