Chapter 40: The Capture

Liang Hong thought that there were no guards in the building, but when he rushed in, he realized that he had made a mistake, and a dozen guys with rifles ran down the stairs, who were white mine policemen from a South African company.

There were no more bullets left in the chamber, and the people behind them were still some distance away. Raise your hand to knock down the first two, and before the other party comes to his senses and fights back, he dodges and turns into the first floor of the corridor. The door of the next room was hidden, and there was no one inside, so he rushed into the house and pushed the door, leaning against the wall and quickly reloading the bullets. The C96 standard model is the second box commonly known as the latter, and the trouble is that the Mauser pistol at this time uses not a magazine but a magazine, and it is necessary to load bullets into it like a rifle.

Ping Pong, the people coming down the stairs and the special forces who rushed in from the outside exchanged fire. In the room, Liang Hong was anxious, although his subordinates were all excellent shooters, but the terrain was unfavorable. Attacking from below would be a disadvantage, and if the other side reacted and sent someone to shoot down from the upstairs window, the brothers who remained outside would suffer a great loss.

Liang Hong was a little confused, why there was such a group of people in the South African company building, in fact, this was a mistake by Bond during reconnaissance. Downstairs in the building is a vault where mined diamonds are temporarily stored, and the building is always guarded.

The gang had to get in the way first, and he slipped out of the room again. There was no one in the entire corridor on the first floor, only the middle upstairs and outside the door were shooting at each other. The people upstairs hid on the landing at the turn of the staircase, relying on the staircase as cover. Liang Hong looked at his subordinates at the door of the building, someone had already been shot and wounded, and the situation of the others was also very dangerous, and the dense gunfire tightly sealed the door of the building.

Hiding behind the corridor wall, he tucked his pistol back into his waist and pulled out a grenade with a wooden handle from his bosom. Pulled the string and waited for a while, quietly threw it towards the landing of the staircase, and then quickly flashed back to the staircase. It's throwing instead of throwing, I'm afraid that if I use too much force, the grenade will hit the wall and bounce back.

Boom, the grenade exploded on the staircase, the new Dana with a charge of fifty grams, semi-handmade non-standard goods, even Liang Hong himself couldn't say how big the killing radius was. Although it was not as earth-shattering as the mine dormitory building that collapsed just now, it exploded in the building and shook the entire building.

Hearing the messy screams and angry scolding above, Liang Hong knew that the effect was good. The current army is not equipped with grenades, and if it were in the future, experienced veterans would have kicked the grenades away long ago. He took out the last grenade from his bosom, concocted it as he did, and threw it onto the platform.

As soon as I threw it this time, I heard an exclamation on the stairs, and the sound of chickens and dogs jumping behind me was full of chaotic running sounds. It is estimated that they have seen the power of the previous one, and this time the soldiers who defended all chose to escape.

Boom, another explosion.

"Rush!"

Before the smoke cleared, Liang Hong shouted outside the building, and jumped upstairs against the root of the wall.

The staircase landing had been blown to pieces by two grenades, and seven or eight white soldiers had fallen in pools of blood, some lying on the previous flight of stairs, apparently slow to flee and knocked down from behind.

No matter who you are, as long as you can still move or have a gun by your side, you will always have a shot in the head. Now that Liang Hong is immune to close-range replenishment guns, he will become numb if he kills too much.

Walking through the second-floor corridor, he raised his hands flat on his chest and fired alternately, and before the enemy could raise his spear, the pistol had already fired bullets. A strange scene appeared in the corridor, a person was running with a group of soldiers, running fast up to the third and even fourth floors, and some people hid in the next room, most of the slow legs and feet were knocked down by bullets, and they were even more frightened to throw down their guns and surrender.

The organized resistance has been crushed, and all that remains is room by room. Those who dare to hold a gun alive will be held with a bullet on the spot, and those who kneel down and beg for mercy will be taken to a place and detained. Liang Hong planned to interrogate the prisoners after cleaning up, and successfully blew up the mine police dormitory building, so he didn't plan to leave immediately. There isn't much defense left in the city, and now is a great time to rob.

The whole battle was well planned, and the beginning was still very smooth, but when entering the company building, he accidentally ran into trouble, and two people were shot and wounded. Fortunately, the Lee Enfield rifle was a penetrating wound at close range, and the shooter was sensitive to bullets and avoided the vital point in time.

After blasting and gunfighting, the city was suddenly awakened from its slumber of night, standing on the top floor of the South African company building and looking around the city, the stars were lit up everywhere, and I wondered how many sleepless people would be there this night. Suddenly, Liang Hong saw a beautiful courtyard not far downstairs, which was brightly lit, with people coming and going, and many soldiers with rifles were scattered in the courtyard wall to guard the outside.

"Bond, where is that courtyard, how can there be so many soldiers?"

Liang Hong was taken aback, and hurriedly beckoned Bond next to him to come over.

"That's Rhodes' residence, and my God, he's got some guards left." Bond was also taken aback, he was just a junior spy and not experienced enough.

In Rhodes's villa, there were nearly twenty soldiers in the courtyard alone, and I don't know how many there were in the house, and Liang Hong's scalp was a little swollen.

"Call all the people quickly," he commanded.

Fortunately, I don't know which steward in Rhodes's house is stupid, and the lights are as bright as day, isn't this a live target for the gunman upstairs.

The lights on the fourth floor were all extinguished, and twenty rifles stuck out from the windowsill and pointed towards the courtyard more than a hundred meters away.

"Hit!"

With an order, the guns and bullets were fired in unison. Including Liang Hong, most of them are excellent marksmen, and they use the most advanced rifles today. In particular, the Mauser 96, which was produced by the Mauser company specifically for the Transvaal army, has an accuracy of close to 1MOA. Everyone has a clear division of labor, and each aims at the goal assigned to him.

The gunshots rang out, and the soldiers in the courtyard were shot almost at the same time, and in an instant, the courtyard was almost swept across, and when the second round of firing was over, there was no one left in the courtyard who could stand alive, not even the swaying gas lamps in the wind.

Fortunately, Liang Hong felt that he was lucky sometimes, otherwise these elite guards of Rhodes would not know how many casualties might be brought to his detachment.

Robbery is pleasant, especially the leisurely robbery of huge sums of wealth.

Boom, there was an explosion in the basement, and the whole building shook violently.

Two hundred grams of new Dana were detonated, the large iron door of the underground vault was blown out of shape, and the door shaft was somewhat loose. Liang Hong didn't dare to increase the amount of medicine anymore, for fear of blowing up the building and burying himself alive.

"Go and bring in all the captives and take turns smashing them with hammers."

To do this kind of manual work, there is no need for his people to do it, and since there are captives, let's be coolies first.

There are really a lot of good things in the coffers of South African companies. In addition to more than 10,000 pounds of gold coins, the more valuable thing is two kilograms of diamonds. In particular, there are several quite large diamonds, estimated to be more than tens of grams. Diamonds are measured by carat weight, only 0.2 grams per carat. After interrogating the captives, it was revealed that the diamonds had been mined for 20 days in several mines around the Kimberley, and that they had been transported to Cape Town by rail in a few days.

After being busy with these, Liang Hong remembered the courtyard of Rhodes's residence again. This is also an enemy, he doesn't plan to let it go, even if it's something of no value, it's a relief to smash it. A dozen of the captured captives were tied up and locked in the basement, and a few people were placed on guard on the building, while others pounced on Rhodes' private house.
