Chapter 92: The Intelligence Is Wrong
Fang Xiaomao took a few steps back, then accelerated violently, stepped on the backs of the two comrades, jumped slightly, and easily grabbed the three-meter-high wall with both hands.
After that, Fang Xiaomao quietly poked his head out for most of the time, carefully observed the situation in the barracks, and found that the place they chose happened to be the kitchen of the barracks.
Below, where they settled, there were bundles of dry firewood, which were covered only by a huge tarpaulin to protect them from moisture.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaomao ripped off the corner of the oilcloth, and then quickly handed out the bundles of dry firewood.
The soldiers who were still waiting for news outside obviously didn't expect Fang Xiaomao to hand things out, and after seeing clearly that it was dry firewood, Xu Zhiyou immediately understood what Fang Xiaomao meant.
Immediately, under the command of Xu Zhiyou, several soldiers quickly used the dry firewood handed by Fang Xiaomao to build a trapezoid, until the soldiers could easily cross over.
Although it wasted some time to build the trapezoid, it saved more time in the rear troops to climb over the wall.
You know, not everyone can climb over a three-meter-high wall.
After the soldiers of the whole company entered the camp and identified the direction, everyone began to sneak along the corner of the wall in the direction of the main entrance.
Fang Xiaomao's original name was Fang Xiaopu, he didn't have a big name, and his family gave him this cheap life when he was born, which means that it is easy to feed.
The name Fang Xiaomao was given to him by the commander of the unit after he came to the army. Of course, on the roster of the army, there is a parenthesis after the three words Fang Xiaomao, which is written Fang Xiaomao's nickname, that is, Fang Xiaopu.
Name is the foundation of respect for a person. But all soldiers who do not have a big name, according to Wang Sirui's regulations, when recruiting soldiers, they must give each of them a big name.
The remarks on the nickname are to prevent the soldiers from going to the soldier's hometown with the daimyo to find no one after they are killed. After all, their nicknames have been called there for a decade or two, who will know them if they change their big names?
The poverty of the family makes Fang Xiaomao thin, but most of the thin people have one characteristic, that is, their body is particularly sensitive.
In addition to this characteristic, Fang Xiaomao also has another characteristic, that is, his observation is particularly strong.
Even at night, in a pitch black environment, Fang Xiaomao could even see if there was anyone fifty meters away. This is still under the premise that there is no light, if it is daytime, a target of 200 meters, he can clearly see how many rings have been hit on it, and how many bullets have hit the target.
Therefore, the task of front-row reconnaissance naturally fell on Fang Xiaomao's shoulders.
The troops were slowly sneaking, not only to pay attention to the enemies that might appear at any time around them, but also to pay attention to the movements of their feet to prevent the movement from going too far and attracting the attention of the enemy.
Suddenly, Fang Xiaomao stopped, and then fell to the ground.
The soldiers behind had long been accustomed to such movements, so they also followed and lay on the ground.
Xu Zhiyou, who was in the middle of the team, began to creep forward quietly after lying on the ground, and about a minute later, Xu Zhiyou came to Fang Xiaomao's side.
"What's going on?" Because he couldn't see the situation nearby, Xu Zhiyou could only lie on the ground and ask Fang Xiaomao in a low voice.
"Company commander, I think there's a good chance that our intelligence is wrong." Fang Xiaomao said in a low voice.
As for the title of company commander, it was always called wrong at first, but after a few months, I got used to it, anyway, it was a title, and I could call it whatever I wanted.
"What's the situation?" Xu Zhiyou frowned tightly and hurriedly asked. Intelligence mistakes, this will kill people, and he can't help but be nervous.
"There were at least 200 people there laying out the defensive line, and I could see through the firelight, and there were dozens of people near the corners." Fang Xiaomao said.
"Huh?" Xu Zhiyou was a little incredulous, but when he thought that Fang Xiaomao's investigation had never been wrong, he continued to ask, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure, I'll promise you the head." Fang Xiaomao affirmed.
He saw some shadows of the more than 200 people in the dark, and the number of people in the hundreds was certain.
In the corner of the wall, by the light of the torches, he saw people, not sure how many, but there must have been dozens.
Xu Zhiyou complained for a while in his heart, please report that there is a company of enemy troops here, so they have deployed two companies of absolute superior forces here to destroy them.
But if the enemy has two companies here, then the final outcome is uncertain.
After all, they have only been in the army for a short time, and the cooperation between the troops is not very skillful. What's more, they have very few people who have been on the battlefield, and in the absence of absolute superiority in troops, the consequences are difficult to predict.
After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, Xu Zhiyou called a soldier next to him to come over, whispered a word in his ear, and then the soldier quietly retreated, passing the road they had come in before, and ran out quickly.
…………
"What? Two companies? After hearing that there were two companies of enemies in the barracks, Li Chao was also taken aback.
Two companies, how can this be so easy to solve? And now the enemy is already on guard, and is building a defensive line, although this is only a simple defensive line, but no matter how simple it is, it is also a defensive line, and it will also cause them trouble.
Our superiority in strength disappeared in an instant, which made Li Chao also depressed, but more importantly, we still had to find a way to take this barracks.
Applying for reinforcements? This is obviously not realistic, because each ministry has its own tasks, and they have not yet fought to apply for reinforcements, and to be honest, they can't afford to lose this person.
"Go back and tell Lao Xu that two minutes after the machine gun fired, my side launched an attack." After thinking for more than ten seconds, Li Chao finally made a decision.
Retreat is impossible, and since they have entered the city, they must kill the enemy troops in the barracks tonight.
But since the matter has come to this, it can only be solved by finding a way. As for the enemies hidden on both sides of the wall, they can only resign themselves to fate, hoping that Lao Xu's side can attract them away, and then enter the barracks smoothly by himself.
The problem at the moment is that as long as you can enter the barracks, then the rest of the matter is much easier to say.
In fact, what was more depressed than Li Chao was the US troops in the barracks, who were originally going to change their guard tomorrow.
After all, there is still a big gap between the inner and outer cities, and the soldiers are not willing to stay in the outer city all the time, so they change their guards once a week.
Today, a company of troops was transferred from the inner city and temporarily stationed in the barracks with the blue flag, and then early tomorrow morning, they will go to replace the American troops stationed at Xibianmen, and then before noon, another company will come over.
Then, after the handover, the two companies will leave for the inner city.
Originally, I could have left a company today, but I was very helpless, this company was delayed because of some things, so I could only stay for one more day before leaving, but I didn't expect the barracks to be attacked.
