Chapter 151: Level Speed
The special combat team members left on the roof unloaded the two large packages they carried, and there were six soft rope ladders in them, all of which were mixed with cow tendons and ropes, which were both solid and light, and they also immediately fixed one end of the soft rope ladder on the building column, which was of course unique to the swallow gate, at this time, there was a sharp whistle from the window of the prison under the roof, this is Captain Shen, they have succeeded, and they want the people on the roof to report the direction and angle, they want to blow up the wall below, and the special combat team members on the roof immediately responded to the whistle, Bearing angles are reported. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The outer wall of the prison immediately sounded the sound of explosions, blowing up three holes, and the special combat team members on the roof immediately threw down the soft rope ladder according to the position of the hole, and at the same time, several soldiers went down from the ladder and drilled into the hole, and they wanted to go in to cover it, this was the first set of action plans they implemented, if Shen Shenjun and Wang Xianliang did not succeed in going directly into the concentration camp, they would also implement the second set of action plans, that is, forcibly blowing up the windows of the prison cells, entering through the windows and then blowing up the holes in the walls. As a matter of fact, all these actions were set in advance by the chief of staff, and the special combat personnel only needed to complete their own tasks in the order of layers, so the entire operation was almost all at the same time, orderly, fast and smooth.
Coming out of the hole in the wall of the prison and climbing the ladder and then climbing down, the prisoners of war escaped death, the desire to survive is naturally very strong, and most of them are soldiers, and have a certain military quality, so from such a high cliff on the ladder to climb down the dark ravine jungle below, they are not panicked at all, after climbing down a distance, they saw from afar that someone at the bottom of the ladder was stabilizing for them, and waved to them, and the prisoners of war suddenly came to their senses.
The Japanese army's Yokohama brigade artillery position also fired back at the position of the national army, the two sides fought very lively, Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, the soldiers of their second battalion and Pei Qingrui's reinforced battalion soldiers of the national army together from the ladder to catch the prisoners of war who climbed down, some of the wounded prisoners of war were tied to the unwounded prisoners of war with ropes by the special combat team members above and climbed down, the people below caught them and sent them to the big truck, everything was tense and orderly, loaded with a truck of prisoners of war, the truck drove straight away, A second truck reversed up and waited to load the prisoners.
The rumbling sound of artillery naturally also alarmed the cavalry squadron of the Japanese army under the Tiejialing Mountain, and the squadron leader also looked out of the cavalry barracks with a telescope for a while, and it was also a very common thing for the Nationalist Army and the Japanese Army to shell each other's positions, especially after the howitzer heavy artillery on the main artillery position of the Yokohama Brigade was blown up by the Nationalist Army, the two sides often used conventional artillery to attack each other, but it was a bit surprising that it was suddenly in the middle of the night like today, and the shelling took such a long time.
Hidetaro Taki also came out of the barracks and observed with a telescope, he is not actually a member of the cavalry squadron, he is a relative of the royal family, he loves horses all his life, and his riding skills are also superb, after coming to Jiangnan to inspect, he saw that the grass and water here in Fangma River are fertile and clear, and the endless flat wilderness is very suitable for horse training and riding, so he took more than ten people to stay in the barracks, he is a relative of the royal family, and the people of the cavalry squadron naturally praised the handle as a guest.
When the squadron leader saw that Eitaro Takihito also came out to watch, he put down his binoculars and flattered Eitaro Takihito; "This is the artillery of my empire fighting the remnants of the national army, they are the defeated men of my Yokohama brigade, we can destroy them at any time."
Eitaro Takihito watched for a while and said to the squadron leader; "Something is wrong, why is there a faint sound of shelling on the opposite mountain, it seems that there is a fire somewhere, and the fire should still be quite big?"
The squadron leader raised his telescope again and watched for a while, and said; "Not good, that mountain ridge should be the Iron Armor Ridge, on which there is a concentration camp for prisoners of war held by our Yokohama brigade, could it be that the concentration camp was hit by enemy shelling? I'll have to call and ask. After saying that, he turned back to the barracks and went to make a phone call.
After a while, the squadron leader came to the gate of the barracks again and said to Eitaro Takihito; "Your Excellency Takihito-kun, the phone can't get through, maybe the electric pole along the way was hit by a shell, I think it's better to send a few people to take a look." He immediately went back to the barracks and arranged for his men to go out and have a look.
In a moment, more than a dozen war horses galloped out, all of them were heavily armed cavalry, and they galloped towards the direction of Tiejia Ridge.
The soldiers of the third battalion of the independent column were ambushed in the bushes and grass under the ironclad ridge, and they saw more than a dozen war horses rushing out of the Japanese cavalry barracks, and they were immediately fully armed cavalry, and they immediately prepared and set up tripping ropes in the bushes and grass.
More than a dozen Japanese cavalry gradually entered the ambush of the third battalion, because it was night, the speed of these cavalry was very slow, suddenly, more than a dozen cavalry and horses fell to the ground at once, and more than a dozen tiger-like people came out of the bushes and grass to break the necks of all the cavalry who fell to the ground.
Qin Erhammer, the commander and deputy commander of the third battalion, Qin Sanhammer was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to lead more than ten war horses to a hidden place and hide them.
Li Nanfeng, Li Nanzhu and the two brothers and sisters were also catching the prisoners of war who came down from the ladder at the bottom of the cliff and ravine with the soldiers of the second battalion, and then sent them to the truck, Li Nanfeng finally recognized an old man with a full beard and sunken cheeks from the crowd who came down from the ladder, stepped forward and hugged the old man, and shouted excitedly; "Teacher, do you still recognize me? I'm Xiao Nanfeng! ”
The light was not obvious in the dark, and the old man looked dazed, until Pei Qingrui reminded; "Now is not the time to speak, let's go!" Li Nanfeng let go of his hand.
The three full trucks of prisoners of war have been transported, the fourth car of prisoners of war has also been crowded with most of the carts, six ladders have been empty and hanging in the air, it seems that the prisoners of war have been delivered, after a while, the ladders hang down, the soldiers below quickly rolled up the six ladders and threw them on the truck, the last truck is still waiting for the wounded special combat personnel, sure enough, the special combat personnel began to evacuate, they tied the wounded comrades to their bodies and slid directly down from the thick rope, the speed was faster.
There were 11 or 2 wounded people coming down, and at the same time, there were also some heavy machine guns, mortars, bullet and shell boxes, and the soldiers who came down told the captain to tell them to drive the truck away, not to wait for them, they would withdraw to the position of the national army according to the established route, according to the regulations before the operation, the 123rd battalion retreated back to the camp of the general in the mountains, and the special combat team retreated to the position of the national army, because the special combat team was responsible for the main attack task, there must have been sacrifices and wounds, if they returned to the camp of the general ao, the road would be too far, and they would directly retreat to the position of the new 6th Division of the national army, the distance is close, which is convenient for the wounded to be treated in time.
Lu Caiting said to Ning Chenlong; "Chief of Staff, you get in the car and go to the headquarters of the new Sixth Division with the prisoners of war, I'll wait for the people of the special combat team, and we will follow soon."
Ning Chenlong knew the endurance and speed of Lu Caiting and the soldiers of the special combat team, and he would only be a burden if he stayed, so he advised; "Captain, be careful!" With that, he ran towards the cab of the truck.
After Lu Caiting watched the truck leave, he and Lu Xiaohu patiently waited for the special combat team to evacuate, and after a while, the four thick ropes on the cliff wall slid down many soldiers of the special combat team, most of them carried captured light machine guns, or tied heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition boxes with ropes, after they came down, Lu Caiting saw at a glance that Liang Bao and his subordinates from the Leopard Leijian Cottage were busy packing up light and heavy weapons, so he asked with concern; "How is it, Comrade Liang Bao, Are there any difficulties? "This is the first time they have participated in combat since they joined the special combat team.
Liang Bao and his men were carrying a few light machine guns and bullet boxes on their bodies, and when they saw the captain asking him, they replied with great enthusiasm; "Back to the captain's words, happy, couldn't be happier! Killing devils like this should have followed the captain a long time ago. "A batch of light and heavy machine guns and mortars has been captured in front of them, which were captured by those behind them.
Lu Caiting couldn't help but nodded happily; "Okay, then hurry up and evacuate with the team." After seeing them leave, Lu Caiting turned around and saw Shen Shenjun again, and hurriedly asked; "Captain Shen, have all the people evacuated?"
Shen Shenjun also untied the rope from his body, put down a captured mortar, and replied; "I'm at the back of my walk, and all the fighters are coming down."
Lu Caiting immediately said to the last soldiers of the special combat team who had withdrawn; "Comrades, evacuate with me!" After finishing speaking, he instructed Long Congfeng, the commander of the second battalion, who was still on guard; "Battalion Commander Long, your second battalion should also quickly withdraw to General Ao, remember, tomorrow inform the people of the fifth battalion to send the political commissar to the headquarters of the new Sixth Division of the National Army."
Li Nanfeng, Hao Zhenyu and twenty or thirty soldiers came over and pleaded; "Captain, we want to stay and go to the new Sixth Division of the National Army with your special combat team, and we want to see the teacher and some other comrades-in-arms."
Lu Caiting nodded in understanding; "Alright, you can stay with us."
Long Congfeng led the soldiers of the second battalion to evacuate quickly, and Lu Caiting also quickly evacuated the scene with Li Nanfeng, Hao Zhenyu and others and the special combat team, and Pei Qingrui's soldiers from the reinforced battalion of the national army.
The soldiers of the special combat team seized a lot of light and heavy weapons and ammunition boxes, and the whole operation and combat process was simple and compact, and the Japanese army was overwhelmed with lightning speed, and their hearts were happy and their emotions were high, and they followed the national army's trucks to transport a batch of them, although they were still carrying a lot of weapons and ammunition on their backs, but their foot strength and endurance were still extraordinary, and they gradually left the soldiers of the national army behind.
The artillery fire on the positions of the Nationalist and Japanese troops had ceased to bombard, the silence of the earth and night had slowly returned, and the other two battalions of the Nationalist Army, which had been in charge of preventing the deployment of troops by the Japanese Yokohama Brigade and Regiment in the area from Huluyu to Kitazawa Mountain, had also quietly and rapidly withdrawn from the positions of the Nationalist Army.
The members of the special combat team withdrew to the division headquarters of the national army, Xiao Yunguang and Ning Chenlong greeted everyone, and arranged everyone into a barracks, where light and heavy machine guns, mortars and ammunition boxes were already stacked in the corners of the room, which were brought back with the previous trophies by truck, and everyone also unloaded the captured weapons and ammunition and stacked them together.
Xiao Yunguang took everyone to the cafeteria again, chose a few tables to sit down, and instructed the people in the cooking class to serve wine and food for everyone.
Li Nanfeng's brothers and sisters, Hao Zhenyu and the Sichuan Army, and the brothers of the Northeast Army had no appetite, and they all looked at Lu Caiting in a daze, Lu Caiting understood what they meant, and was busy with Xiao Yunguang; "Section Chief Xiao, they eat first, please take us to visit those prisoners of war."
Xiao Yunguang picked up a bowl of wine and explained to Lu Caiting and those who refused to drink and eat; "Everyone is eating and drinking in peace, those prisoners of war are now bathing and changing clothes, and they will come here in a while."
When Li Nanfeng's brothers and sisters, Hao Zhenyu and all the Sichuan Army and Northeast Army brothers heard this, they all calmed down, and they also picked up the wine bowl and picked up chopsticks to drink and eat.
Lu Caiting picked up a bowl of wine and said to everyone; "Everyone's worked hard! You eat and drink first, and I, the chief of staff, and Captain Shen will go to see our wounded first. With that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and stood up.
Ning Chenlong and Shen Shenjun also finished drinking the wine in the bowl, and accompanied Lu Caiting to visit the wounded.
In the divisional medical room, doctors and nurses were busy nervously, operating on members of the New Fourth Army Special Combat Team who were wounded in the rescue operation, and some other doctors and nurses were also changing dressings for the wounded prisoners of war who had already been scrubbed and changed.
Lu Caiting and the three of them waited for a while, the wounded of the special combat team had undergone surgery, took out the bullets, bandaged them, and the three of them rushed forward to comfort the wounded, in this battle, six people in the special combat team were injured to varying degrees, five people died, two of them were from Qinglongtang in Shuangji Town, two people were from Fengleimen, and one was from Jiangjunao Village, and the three of them were very sad after hearing this, especially Lu Caiting, the people from Qinglongtang and Fengleimen were encouraged by him to defect to him, and the three of them went to the morgue to visit the remains of the sacrificed soldiers, Take off your military hat and bow to mourn the dead.
The three of them returned to the cafeteria, where the tables were already full of people, and the soldiers of the cooking squad were serving drinks and food to the tables.
A table was full of people, a regiment commander Pei Qingrui and division commander Fang Zhiwei were also in the crowd, Fang Zhiwei was holding a pair of black and shiny combat boots in his hands, and when he saw Lu Caiting and them at a glance, he hurriedly beckoned the three of them over.
The three of them walked over and saw Li Nanfeng's brother and sister and some soldiers from the second battalion surrounding an old man, talking affectionately, Hao Zhenyu, Wei Chu and other soldiers of the Northeast Army were also talking to each other, and they were all very emotional, those people should be prisoners of war of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army.
Fang Zhiwei saw that Lu Caiting and the three of them had approached the crowd, so he said to the crowd; "Brothers, please get out of the way." When the crowd separated, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Caiting, pointing to an old man sitting in the middle of the crowd and introduced; "This is what I often tell you, the captain of the Sichuan Army, who traveled thousands of miles to sell his property and led the children of the Zong clan to come to us to fight against Japan, a truly amazing hero."
Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Shen Shenjun had all heard about the deeds of this anti-Japanese hero, and the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to give a military salute to the old man to show respect.
When the old man saw that the three of them were wearing the uniforms of the New Fourth Army, he also stood up excitedly and returned a military salute to them.
Fang Zhiwei continued; "Our teacher from Shanxi to our Jiangnan, in the Songhu Campaign, he took off his military boots, and the soldiers wore straw shoes together, until the Nanjing Defense Campaign and so far, the Japanese army nicknamed the straw shoes division commander, in the concentration camp, the Japanese Yokohama Brigade Brigade Commander Ghost Pozi once gave him a pair of combat boots, but our teacher did not accept, however, today we want to send him a pair of combat boots, this is our own army combat boots, I want to put on for our heroes!" With that, he sat the old man down on the bench, squatted down, took off the new cloth shoes that the old man had just put on his feet, and let him put on the new black and shiny combat boots in his hand.
