The sudden explosion caused the Confederate commandos to temporarily stop attacking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThey took a moment to think about what was happening, and then some of the people began to cheer and celebrate the victory; Although there were those who were frustrated that they had not been able to personally avenge the sacrifice of their comrades and, above all, the Commandos, the obstacles to the commandos had disappeared in any case.

These young revolutionaries did not think deeply about the causes of the explosion. In their opinion, the answer was obvious, either the enemy was stupid enough to detonate a bomb and send himself into the sky, or a comrade from another commando team launched a successful surprise attack. Of course, the second speculation is more realistic and logical in comparison.

More in line with their personal feelings.

Mercenary-trained recruits would not be so stupid - just thinking that they had received the same military training would involuntarily dismiss the first hypothesis by the commandos who were studying at the Canton Bay campus.

Although there is no difference in the final results of the two speculations.

Now, they can move on, capture the gates, and enter the Arrow Tower to complete the mission.

The commandos reacted quickly, the cheers lasted only a few moments before they ended, and the assault resumed.

Only Huang Xing didn't make any moves. Unlike his comrades, he found the whole thing suspicious and immediately realized that the fierce fighting that had been going on a moment before was in fact nothing more than fratricidal fighting between revolutionary comrades.

Not "probably". He was convinced of his own judgment. Although it is difficult to accept, all the clues point to this conclusion, it is the only one, and there is no second possibility other than that.

After all, in order to make the assassination plan successful, the members of the League of the Guangzhou Bay Branch used their alumni status to gather a lot of information, so he was not ignorant of his enemies: according to the establishment, the new army did not have submachine guns, there were few carbines, and no soldiers were willing to carry bombs, except for combat sappers, which were useless and, on the contrary, dangerous.

But Zhang Shao was not going to let the combat sappers guard his headquarters. And the soldier will use bombs against the enemy, and will not detonate bombs when there is still an advantage.

The explosion was not an accident, or an attack carried out by comrades of another detachment. It was so large that it had to be detonated by several bombs at the same time to have that effect, and it looked more like a suicide attack, but the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles would not do that. These Umbrella mercenaries trained "professional soldiers" had limited loyalty to their emperor and general, and could fight, but would not die generously.

Only the comrades of the League would do this. If they think they are surrounded by the enemy, unable to complete their mission or retreat, they will bravely sacrifice themselves and do everything they can to die with the enemy - but today, the only meaning of such a heroic feat is to make the tragedy worse.

Just because he made a mistake.

Huang Xing began to regret that it was his suggestion to have everyone remove the white towel used for identification, and he had thought it was a good idea to confuse the soldiers of the New Army, who might have known that their headquarters had been attacked, but the trick did not confuse the enemy, but it worked for his own comrades.

It's a terrible mistake.

Now, with the addition of the five comrades at the gates, nine of them are dead or dying, and the enemy is clearly aware of the battle here and taking measures to fill the holes in the defenses, the chances of the plan succeeding are rapidly dwindling.

It's all because of his idea.

Huang Xing was so caught up in self-reproach that his mind was still in disarray, and he forgot his duty completely, and forgot to tell his comrades what he had discovered, and to alert them to the real enemy.

And it's already too late.

A four-man battle team with a much faster reaction and speed than the others has reached the city gates. They saw the scene they had envisioned, sprayed with flesh and blood, scattered stumps and fragments of weapons, several soldiers who were or were about to die, and some who were alive, also wearing the uniforms of the Praetorian Division, but only rifles, some of them were busy examining the corpses, while others were looking at them with the same curious gaze, as if confused by the mixed team of soldiers and police.

In the next second, the commandos and their enemies reacted at the same time and began to point their guns at each other.

A soldier tried to warn: "Be careful, they are ......"

That last word was drowned out by gunfire. It was as if a switch had been flipped and both the commandos and the guards were firing at their enemies, but in this small and close battlefield, no one could escape, no one would miss, and the battle stopped for only a few seconds, and then, the last man still standing, fell.

The combat qualities of the guards were reflected in the speed with which the vacancies were filled. More soldiers rushed out of the turret and engaged in a scuffle with bayonets, rifle butts and fists with the commandos who followed. And in such a face-to-face battle, the firepower advantage of automatic weapons is gone, and not everyone is like Fang Shengdong, when there are still many comrades around, they can decisively detonate the bomb on their body. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of the outnumbered side.

The commandos had to go all out and throw all their forces into the battle, which was becoming more and more difficult. They weren't paying more attention to movement in other directions, so no one noticed the approaching sound coming in the distance.

Except for Huang Xing, who was still in a daze behind. He heard it, but it took a long time to realize what it was.

Only when many horses' hooves hit the ground at the same time can that sound be produced.

Cavalry!

The mission failed.

Disappointment and panic became the last straw that overwhelmed Huang Xing's spirit. Without warning his comrades, who were caught in a bitter battle and therefore had no chance to retreat, he threw down his weapon and fled as fast as he could.

And at this moment, inside the arrow tower, Zhao Sheng and seven other commandos were preparing to attack the last line of defense of Zhang Shaozeng's guard troops. Despite being only one step away from the destination, there was not a single smile on his face: the entire assault team had only one bomb and the same few bullets left, most of them had only one magazine or drum left, and there were at least twenty enemies behind the line who had already taken up a good position, and he did not have much chance.

It's just that he had to break through the last line of defense; After paying so many losses, there was no choice but to go on the offensive.

Zhao Sheng checked the weapons that had been checked many times, and then gestured to the other commandos. When the last person also indicated readiness, he threw the bomb, hoping that the smoke from the explosion would interfere with the enemy's vision, and then after waiting a little longer, he rushed into the corridor with everyone.

Their actions received an enthusiastic response from the defenders. Nothing could be seen clearly, but the tactics employed by the soldiers were simple, they simply fired at any shadow that looked like a target, created a barrage of crossfire, and left the rest to luck - but they apparently forgot that the rifle's magazine could only hold five rounds.

The barrage didn't last long. The defenders' tactics were only partially successful, with four commandos falling, while Zhao Sheng and the remaining three took advantage of the gap in fire to pass through the defensive line. The ensuing close-quarters firefights were nothing more than a rehash of an earlier series of battles, with the assault team's onslaught that soon incapacitated half of the soldiers, and the rest being driven out of their fortifications.

Zhao Sheng ignored the soldiers and left them to his comrades, and rushed straight to Zhang Shaozeng's headquarters. Now, there was only a closed door blocking him, but it was very thin and useless, Zhao Sheng knocked it open without much effort, and he rushed into the door.

The room was empty. It was only for a moment that he could see what was going on inside. Liangbi and Zhang Shaozeng were not here, no one wore the general's uniform, or looked like a general, and there were no military advisers or staff officers. The only ones left in command were two junior officers and three soldiers, all standing behind a table that had been toppled down as cover, looking completely stunned, holding their guns but just staring at him blankly, not immediately shooting at him.

Zhao Sheng didn't fire, but lowered the muzzle of the gun. He had never been more disappointed, the goal was gone, the mission was not successful, the effort and sacrifices made were meaningless, and this led to a depression, which in turn led to the collapse of the will to fight.

As if sensing his psychological changes, an officer tentatively shouted: "Lay down your arms, you have no way out, our reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

Zhao Sheng remained silent, giving the impression that he was thinking about it. In fact, he did not consider the officer's proposal at all, and simply did not want to do anything.

The officer did not rush him, but waited quietly, appearing patient. After another moment, the gunfire outside died down, and then two soldiers rushed in, blocking Zhao Sheng's retreat. So the officer did not wait any longer and shouted: "You are surrounded, surrender ......"

"Dreaming." Zhao Sheng's voice was not high, but his tone was very resolute. Before any officer or soldier could react, he turned the muzzle of his gun and pressed it to his chin, then pulled the trigger.

He ended his life with a heroic death.

Zhang Shaozeng saluted with a solemn expression; After a moment's hesitation, the rest did the same; Noticing their faces and fearing that some of them were neither revolutionaries nor inclined to revolution, Zhang Shao felt that he should say something.

"He and his comrades are warriors, and I think it's necessary to show respect......" he stopped. comrade", he should not use this word, it may cause unnecessary trouble; However, he had no other solution than to distract those present, hoping that they would not have time to remember it.

He made a gesture. "Check the situation outside, I want to know how many people are still alive."

The officer who demanded Zhao Sheng's surrender immediately left with all the soldiers, and another officer, Zhang Shaozeng's comrade, stayed.

His expression was ugly. Zhang Shao had thought that his attitude was due to the reckless actions of the League that had caused too many losses - those of the revolutionaries and the guards; Actually, it's for other reasons.

"I know this guy, I've met him a few times." He told Zhang Shaozeng that his voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him, "He was a student at the Guangzhou Bay branch and was very close to many first-year students. ”

"You mean ......"

"I fear that there may be more than one Guangzhou Bay student involved in this operation." The officer said worriedly, "In the worst-case scenario, perhaps the entire graduates of the Guangzhou Bay branch of the New Army will be suspected and investigated." ”

"Then we have to take steps to cover up their identities......"

Suddenly, for the first time after the outbreak of the battle, the arrow tower began to shake, although the amplitude was small and the duration was short, but the two people who remained in the command knew that there were not many reasons that could cause this phenomenon.

"How many bombs did the Confederacy bring?" The officer called, but it was more like talking to himself.

"It doesn't matter. What we should be concerned about is what targets are worthy of the Confederacy's people detonating so many bombs. Zhang Shao had rushed to another door, the one from which Liangbi had evacuated. He began to worry that only the people of the Alliance who were worthy of Liangbi had detonated so many bombs, and they were so conspicuous that anyone who saw them would not miss them.

Realizing that it was better not to waste time, the officer hurriedly followed.

When they reached the exit of the Arrow Tower, they found that the place had been destroyed beyond recognition by the explosion, and that many advisers and staff officers had been wounded; But Liangbi was unscathed, just disgraced.

Zhang Shaozeng breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. "Your Excellency Zhengdu, it's okay to see you......"

"Are you alright?" Liangbi turned his head mechanically, "Yes, General Zhang, I'm fine, but my guards are all gone, and they were all blown up." Those Canton Bay students are crazy...... Each one is! ”

His words surprised Zhang Shaozeng. "Students at the Guangzhou Bay Branch?"

He didn't expect that Liangbi already knew the identity of the attacker.

But how is that possible?

Liangbi misunderstood his reaction - thinking that he was hearing the news for the first time. "That's right, the commander of my guard platoon recognized some people." He explained, then snorted, "Classmate! I treat them like classmates, and they just want my life! ”

No matter what he wanted to say, Zhang Shao knew that the problem had become more serious. (To be continued.) )
