(five hundred and eighty-six) assault on the castle
"The enemy was very confused by the tactics of our UFO machines, sometimes single and sometimes multi-plane. We will deliberately mix the Thunderbolt with the other two types of disc machines, the Lightning and the Hot Wheels, in order to confuse the enemy's intelligence agencies. Hot Wheels also often tow huge spherical metal bands to jam enemy radars. We also often flew swiftly and suddenly to the vicinity of enemy bombers in order to intimidate the pilots and gunners of enemy bombers, causing many enemy pilots to panic, lose their nerves, go crazy, and lose control of the planes, so as to achieve the goal of damaging enemy bombers. ”
"It's so much fun." Yang Jingyi laughed.
"Captain, we're here." The first mate reported.
Yang Jingyi and Captain Lu Xiang rushed to the command platform, raised their binoculars, and through the hazy fog, one castle after another was faintly visible in the distance.
"Send us down, Captain." Sunyana prepared her weapon and nodded to Lu Xiang.
"I'll go with you." Yang Jingyi said.
"This ......" Lu Xiang and Suniana glanced at each other, Sunyana was as quiet as usual, and Lu Xiang's face was embarrassed.
"What? Yanjing has an order not to allow me to participate in the battle? Yang Jingyi asked, "Because I am the president's daughter?" ”
"Oh...... No....... Lu Xiang said hesitantly.
"That's fine." Yang Jingyi smiled, "Please give me the necessary weapons and equipment, okay?" ”
"Second Lieutenant Yang and I will act together." Sunyana said, handing Yang Jingyi a "Tempest" assault rifle equipped with a grenade launcher. Yang Jingyi smiled happily at her and quickly carried the gun.
"Enemies are invading!"
A shrill siren sounded, and the anxious voices of the guards could be heard over the microphone, but soon there was no sound. A Soviet officer yelled at the microphone, but there was no answer.
Major General Pantelev, deputy commander of the base, turned his head to look at it, only to see that the officer's eyes were suddenly in a daze, his face was pale, and his body let out an irrepressible tremor.
"What happened?" Panteleev asked eagerly.
The other party didn't speak, just stretched out his finger and pointed to the image on the display.
Following the officer's finger, Panteleev moved his gaze to the image of the monitor, only to see a small red dot light up on the edge of the image. As the red dots continued to increase, the officer's face became whiter and paler, and the frequency of body shaking became more and more intense, until finally even his teeth rattled.
This is the enemy! Panteleev looked at the image, silently counted the number of enemies, and when the red dots were gathered and rushed towards him, he was surprised to find that the enemy's tanks had reached as many as fourteen!
"How could it be...... So much? Panteleev exclaimed.
"We ...... What to do? Amid the chattering of teeth, the officer's stammering voice was heard.
"Destroy them!" Panteleev shouted.
The enemy tanks continued to advance smoothly towards the base, and the red dot on the radar image was getting closer.
"Come on...... Finish. The officer's trembling voice rang out again.
"I know!" Panteleev pressed the button, and suddenly the alarm sounded.
"Over there...... And also. The officer pointed in the other direction of the monitor, and Panteleev saw a new red dot appear, but suddenly, as if the power had been cut off, all the images on the monitor disappeared at once.
Panteleev got up and ran to the window and looked out. In the distance, a black dot suddenly appeared, which was rapidly growing larger, and flew towards this direction.
The officer shivered even more, sweat pouring down his cheeks, and in a matter of moments it soaked the hem of his shirt. If it weren't for Panteleev's pistol, he would have run away without a trace.
"Tell all men to take up arms!" Panteleev commanded calmly.
As soon as Panteleev's words fell, a red light flashed in front of his eyes, and a "boom" exploded in the hall. Then a shrill gunshot rang out.
Panteleev frantically opened the iron cabinet on the wall and took out a "**Sha" submachine gun, and then another explosion was heard, and the screams of Soviet officers and soldiers were everywhere.
Panteleev took his gun, ran to a concrete pillar and lay down, he secretly poked his head out, looked out, but was surprised to find that there were only a few enemies!
A strong man dressed in black, almost more than three meters tall, rushed out first, holding a grenade launcher with a huge chain in his hand, and kept firing around, one grenade after another flew into the hiding place of the Soviet officers and soldiers with smoke and exploded, everywhere there were flames and smoke, as well as flying flesh and severed limbs.
Several Soviet soldiers roared and stood up from their hiding places, picked up the "**Sha" submachine gun and fired fiercely at the enemy, Panteleev saw the dense bullets fired at the other party, although the other party was tall and carried a huge and cumbersome grenade launcher in his hand, but his actions were extremely agile, like a ghost, the bullets shot by the Soviet soldiers fell short for a while, although the long flames spewed out from the muzzles of the "**Sha" were terrifying, and the surrounding walls were also smashed into pieces, but they never hurt the enemy at all!
Panteleev could hardly believe his eyes, he jerked out from behind the cement pillar, picked up his submachine gun, and opened fire on the enemy.
As if sensing his shot, several of the enemies who had already rushed in jumped in different directions like lightning, and Panteleev's bullet did not hit a single shot, but wounded several of his own men who were fighting!
Panteleev hurriedly stopped firing, and then he suddenly felt a chill, as if someone was staring at him with cold eyes.
Panteleev turned his head to look and suddenly saw a Chinese girl in a blue and white short skirt standing in a corner opposite.
The girl's face was beautiful and beautiful, and at first glance, she looked like a cute rag doll, but in her hand, she held something that did not match the sweet smell she exuded.
That's a six-barreled "Gatling" revolver!
The girl stood in the cloister above, condescendingly facing the Soviet soldiers resisting below, with a quiet and relaxed expression on her face, as if she was concentrating on a grand performance.
Panteleev realized that the position where the Chinese girl was standing was the commanding height of the hall, he just raised the submachine gun in his hand, and wanted to fire at the girl, the girl seemed to have known what he was going to do, her wrist shook slightly, and the "Gatling" machine gun in her hand immediately turned around, facing Panteleev, and at the moment of aiming, the girl pulled the trigger.
Before Panteleev could finish shooting, a long tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle of the "Gatling" machine gun, and Panteleev saw a bullet flying like a meteor in his lower abdomen.
A strong force lifted Panteleev's body up, Panteleev fell heavily to the ground, several bullets passed by, hit the cement wall behind him, the cement wall immediately cracked, flying debris hit Panteleev's body, raw pain.
"Damn it!" Panteleev cursed and tried to straighten up, but his body no longer seemed to belong to him, and he could only lean motionless, staring blankly at the terrible scene below, foaming blood from his mouth.
It only took a short shot from the girl to knock out all the Soviet officers and soldiers on the other side of the corridor, her eyes scanned the place, quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, and began to strafe downward.
Once the extremely fast "Gatling" machine gun opened fire with all its might, its power was extremely amazing, and the rain of bullets and fire swept through the entire hall, spreading death in every corner of the hall, and for a time there were painful wails of Soviet soldiers everywhere.
After a while, the girl stopped shooting, and Panteleev saw the girl's cold gaze sweeping over him, and his breathing stopped again.
The girl dodged and jumped down, rushing forward with a few other companions.
Yang Jingyi looked at Sunyana who jumped from such a high place in surprise, and could hardly believe her eyes.
Just when Yang Jingyi was stunned, two seriously injured Russian soldiers suddenly stood up, holding submachine guns and just about to fire, a thin black shadow flashed past them, Yang Jingyi couldn't see his figure and movements clearly, only to see blood flying, the two Russian soldiers froze there all of a sudden, and then fell backwards together.
"Come with me, I've found a fun place." The man named "Mole" grinned at her, tilted his head, and said.
"It looks like it's very lively inside!"
Chinese Army Captain Gu Devin held a telescope and looked at the Soviet base in the distance with black smoke rising into the sky.
"We have to start attacking right away and move fast." Sergeant Wang Han said. Behind him were heavily armed Chinese Army soldiers.
This unit belonged to the 502nd Regiment of the 22nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Chinese Army, and after receiving a "special order", they came here after two days and two nights of rapid marching.
They were told to come here to assist a special forces unit in destroying the secret military base of the Soviets, but what the Chinese officers and soldiers did not expect was that before they arrived, the place was already full of fighting.
"Attack! Destroy the enemy in front of you first! "Goodwin decisively gave the order to fight.
The Chinese soldiers immediately rushed forward, formed a line attack formation behind the hill occupied by the Soviet soldiers, and then launched an attack. After a fierce exchange of fire, the Soviets suffered many casualties, and the lightly wounded tried to break through and retreat westward. When the Chinese army surrounded them, they hid behind rocks and trees and put up stubborn resistance. Since most of them were wounded, resistance was not very effective. The stumps and severed legs on the battlefield were mixed with the blown branches and wooden blocks, and the smell of blood was filled.
Based on the situation reported by the scouts, Sergeant Lin Yusen ordered the artillery fire to be transferred to both sides of the hill to cut off the retreat of the Soviet troops in these two directions. On the front of the hill, a company of Chinese soldiers had launched an attack on the Soviets before the support troops arrived.
Several Soviet soldiers jumped out from behind the trees.
"Those guys are mine!" Sergeant Wang Deli, who had just caught up from behind, shouted loudly, and he rushed to sweep out a shuttle of bullets with the assault rifle in his hand, and the Soviet soldiers fell as if cutting rice, "Well done!" Someone behind him said.
At this moment, the Soviet troops, who were shooting at them, suddenly stopped shooting.
"Our men have outflanked them." I don't know who said it, but the soldiers of this company, whether they were deployed on the flanks, or further behind, or somewhere else, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Chinese artillery had begun to bombard the hill, the bullets fired by the Soviet soldiers rained down on the infantry, making it difficult for the rifle squad to move forward. Up front, Soldier Weinsch spotted a machine gun firing head-on.
"Someone has to get rid of that machine gun!" Sergeant Lin Yusen shouted.
"I'll go!" With that, Weinsch rushed forward. He rushed to the nearest tree and hid himself. Soviet machine gunners saw him running. Before he could run behind the tree, a bullet whizzed and nearly struck the tip of his nose. He immediately fell to the ground, saw an opportunity, and opened fire with the grenade launcher on his assault rifle, and with a bang, the machine gun was finished, along with the machine gun.
Chinese soldiers occupied the forward positions of the Soviet troops. On the far left, they could see the main Soviet position. Directly in front of them was a bush about 10 meters square. Bullets were constantly coming out of the woods, and the soldiers, feeling that their bullets could not hit the people he was going to hit in the dense bush, kept firing with grenadiers and mortars. After a while, the gunfire in the woods stopped. He said to himself in his heart that he had wasted a lot of bullets.
Despite knowing that the firing at the front of the Soviet positions had stopped, Goodvin ordered his troops to stay put. The support forces behind Xiaoshan had the advantage of sudden surname and geographical location, and if his troops entered the unsheltered open ground in front of the Soviet bunker group, if they ran into a Soviet survivor armed with automatic weapons and fought to the death, it would inflict heavy casualties on his men and horses, and would not turn the victory that had already been achieved into a tragedy! Goodwin decides that now that the battle has been won, the rest must be done without losing anyone.
As a result, the task of cleaning up the battlefield fell to the support troops. Captain Liu Hanliang commanded the unit to search the mountains, but encountered stubborn resistance from the Soviet troops, who had not had time to withdraw due to wounds or other reasons. Captain Liu Hanliang's troops, after crushing the desperate resistance of the Soviet soldiers, finally climbed to the top of the hill and occupied the bombed-out Soviet bunker group. Fortunately, there were no casualties among his troops.
On the positions of the Soviet troops, they found a large number of corpses. It is impossible to estimate how many bodies are buried beneath the collapsed bunkers at the top of the mountain.
"Damn! The hair here is more stubborn than other places! This was the first thing Liu Hanliang and Gu Dewen said when they met.
In the days after receiving the "special order", their troops continued to search westward towards this no-man's land in the heart of the Soviet Union, and on the way they encountered small remnants of the Soviet army, most of which they easily ate. They marched all the way along the blood of the Soviet troops, but not a single Soviet soldier was found. The places they travel these days are at a lower elevation and are flatter and more empty. It wasn't too cold, but they were visibly exhausted. They had been searching in the field for days without eating a single hot meal or sleeping a single night. Their clothes were stained with mud, tattered by the twigs and thorns, dirty and damp; Many had their shoes pierced by thorny rattans and sharp bushes. They were exhausted and exhausted by the continuous search, and if it had not been for the mirage-like attraction of the destruction of the secret Soviet military bases, they would probably have stopped searching and returned to the camp.
"Keep attacking! Don't stop, or the troops who have already broken into the castle will not be able to hold on. Sergeant Lin Yusen suggested.
"How to attack?" Wang Deli asked violently, he, like many comrades-in-arms, looked at the strange Soviet army castle shrouded in smoke, and actually had a feeling of nowhere to start.
Goodwin ordered the Signal Corps to get in touch with his superiors, and the reply from his superiors was surprisingly simple:
"You can do whatever you want. If you exchange fire with the enemy and want to fight to the end, keep fighting; Call me when you need help and I'll send aviation to support you. If you don't want to fight, join up with the artillery and infantry companies in the valley and the operatives to form a task force, and you bring them out with you. ”
"They're already in, and there's no way we're going to leave them in the war zone." Goodwin thought for a moment and said, "First ask Yin Huilun's artillery company to carry out a fire strike." Destroy the firing points on the periphery of the Soviets, and we will go in again. ”
Soon, after contacting the artillerymen, shells fell one after another on the Soviet fire points in the castle, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed and grass and trees flew sideways. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Lin Yusen led him forward to inspect the effect of the strike. When they reached the bomb impact zone, the Soviet troops in the ruins around them opened fire on them, and they quickly fell to the ground. At the same time, the troops led by Captain Liu Hanliang in the rear were also subjected to heavy fire from rifles and machine guns, but they had been deployed in a ring defensive formation with good cover. After two hours of gunfighting, both Liu Hanliang and Captain Goodwin realized that they were so easily separated from the friendly forces fighting inside the castle that they could not take care of each other. Having consumed a lot of ammunition, they again began to call for help from the artillery. Goodman asked Yin Huilun to divide the artillery into two parts and provide fire support to him and Liu Hanliang at the same time. He gave Yoon two different azimuths. The artillery fire was so accurate that all the shells supporting them fell into the right place, and after another hour of fierce fighting, all the Soviet troops at the fire points around the castle were wiped out.
