Chapter 9: Night Raid on the Arsenal (Asking for Receipt, Asking for Recommendation)
In the face of these Red Army soldiers with expectant eyes in their eyes, He Zhengdao, who was opening the door for them, showed a smile and said: "We are the Red Army!" Trouble brother, wake up the other comrades in arms quietly. We came in from behind and did not alarm the defenders in front. Therefore, be sure to keep quiet, otherwise you will be in trouble if you alarm the defenders. ”
'Good! Good! I know! ’
When they learned that He Zhengdao and the others had really come to rescue their comrades-in-arms, these Red Armymen, who originally felt that there was no hope of escape, seemed a little ecstatic. quietly woke up his comrades-in-arms who were still sleeping in the same cell, and said to them with suppressed surprise: "Brother, don't sleep, our comrades have come to save us!" ”
When all the doors of the prison were opened, the nearly 200 Red Army soldiers crowded into the aisles looked at them expectantly.
He Zhengdao, who knew every minute and was very important to them, looked at the Red Army who were suddenly rejuvenated and said: "Comrades, I will make a long story short when time is pressing. Now outside the cell, there is a defender of the Gui Army Company, and there are only ten soldiers I have brought with me.
I urgently need to select the corresponding commanders from among you to accept the combat mission, and ask the comrades who have served as officers to raise their hands and report the positions you have held and the numbers of the old units. ”
I already knew just now that He Zhengdao was a company-level officer and was also a guard next to the chief, and soon there were a few older old Red Armymen. walked out of the team and reported to He Zhengdao the positions they had held before and the number of the unit to which they belonged.
I learned that there was one more among these people, Wang Tianlin, who had served as the battalion commander of the Red First Army, and several other grassroots officers who had also served as company and platoon commanders. He Zhengdao quickly merged these officers into two temporary companies according to their positions, and according to the number of the unit in which these soldiers were before, they were quickly divided into two companies that looked like troops.
and temporarily appointed Wang Tianlin and Jiang Shan, who was born as a company commander of the Red Fifth Army, to serve as the company commanders of these two temporary companies. Let these two company commanders quickly appoint the company's soldiers according to their respective ages and positions, and quickly appoint the company's squad and platoon commanders.
All this was arranged in less than ten minutes, and He Zhengdao handed over the ten rifles and ammunition collected from the cell to the officers of the two temporary companies. Telling them to wait at the door for the time being, He Zhengdao quickly got out of the cell and came to a defensive position not far from the cell to reconnoitre.
On this defensive position, a heavy machine gun was erected on the left and right, and in the machine gun position built up by sandbags, there were four Gui soldiers huddled together to warm up and sleep, and in the barracks next to the prison, there was no sound of people moving.
The whole prison seemed to be quiet, except for the soldiers on duty just now, the rest of the guards were resting. I didn't realize that the Red Army in the cell was all rescued at this moment.
Knowing that this opportunity was rare, He Zhengdao immediately gave the soldiers who were staring at his password a gesture that they could come out. Let these rescued Red Army, under the guidance of ten soldiers brought in, carefully line up in a line. Along the side of the wall, through the high wall that he had just climbed into, he quickly erected a human wall and quickly climbed out of the prison.
Until the last soldier who was rescued and successfully got out of prison, He Zhengdao knew that there would not be much time left for him in the future. Now he must race against time to take down the Gongcheng arsenal, which is also guarded by the Gui army, and arm these Red Army, which is still extremely short of weapons and equipment.
Seeing that all the people were rescued, He Zhengdao was the last to climb out of the wall, and led two companies of the Red Army to connect with Zhao Erzai and others smoothly. In order to prevent the guards in the prison from finding that the prison was empty, He Zhengdao arranged four soldiers with accurate marksmanship in front of the prison guards' position.
What they have to do next is when the prison guards find out that the building is empty and ready to come out to search for it or report it. Shoot at them as soon as possible, and attract Gui troops from other parts of the city to help as much as possible, so as to buy valuable time for them to take the Gongcheng arsenal next!
A few Red Army soldiers who were wounded and could not participate in the operation were placed in a hidden place in the city for temporary shelter. He Zhengdao took these two improvised Red Army companies that had just been rescued from prison to the munitions depot in Gongcheng, which was also heavily defended.
Looking at the munitions warehouse in front of him, it was completely different from the previous prison, the Gui Jun guarding here did not rest, on the contrary, there were patrols passing by from time to time in the warehouse. But the troops were all here, and there was no time for him to think about it more, He Zhengdao asked the two temporarily appointed company commanders to organize the troops and prepare to meet them at any time, and rushed into the military arsenal to grab the ordnance and arm the troops.
After explaining this, He Zhengdao carefully observed the time and number of people on the patrol and the number of Gui troops hidden in the sandbag defensive positions, and finally chose to take down the patrol team that passed by these defensive positions from time to time, and then waited for the opportunity to seize the arms warehouse.
The ten commandos who had just been acting with him were scattered along the road where the Gui army patrol passed, staring at the patrol that was coming towards them.
As He Zhengdao's two flying knives came out, they accurately pierced the foreheads of the two Gui soldiers who were walking in the front. The remaining ten commandos, according to the order just now, suddenly pounced from the shadows towards the patrol Gui Jun with a stunned face. Very quickly and cleanly, silently obliterating the eight-man patrol around a corner.
beckoned the Red Army who followed to dispose of the bodies and guns of the eight Gui soldiers, and He Zhengdao left three people at the forefront of the pretending patrol. Tell the remaining seven Red Army soldiers, and when they pass the machine-gun position in front of the warehouse, the four will be in charge of one. It is necessary to strive to take the heavy machine gun positions in front of these two arms depots without alarming the defenders inside.
Wang Tianlin and the others, who were hiding in the dark and watching, walked towards the opponent's machine gun position with torches in such a bright and bold manner, undoubtedly raised their hearts to their throats. I was afraid that the Gui troops in those machine-gun positions would find out that this patrol, which was the same number but completely replaced by the Red Army, was pretending to be and immediately opened fire. At that time, under the fire of two heavy machine guns, I am afraid that no one will survive!
It wasn't until the eight-person patrol team walked into the aisle between the two machine-gun positions that Gui Jun, who was about to greet them, suddenly realized that the patrol members under the torches were not the people he knew just now. The whole person is a little confused!
At this critical moment, He Zhengdao, who had already noticed the change in the face of the Gui soldier, gave him the first flying knife. At the same time, the seven assault fighters who followed behind him, like ghosts in the night, quickly rushed into the machine gun position a few steps away, and wiped out these stunned Gui soldiers in the position.
He Zhengdao, who successfully took a sentry post, was afraid that it would be too late, so he quickly beckoned to Wang Tianlin and others in the shadows, and asked his eight soldiers to take over the machine gun position. At the same time, he continued to lead the seven commandos, who had been panting in a thrilling melee battle just now, and walked to the second warehouse guard again.
Just as they successfully took Erdaogang, a piercing gunshot pierced the silent night sky of Gongcheng, followed by a fierce exchange of gunfire. After He Zhengdao realized that the prison was very likely to be exposed, looking at Sandaogang, who was still in a state of wait-and-see, he came up with a bold idea in his head.
Tell the soldier behind him, don't talk and rush directly into it with him, when he rushed to Sandaogang, He Zhengdao once again covered up his normal accent. As if he was shocked, he said: "It's a gun, it's terrible, there are red bandits in the city!" ”
Facing He Zhengdao, he was as frightened, and rushed over with a person dressed as a Guijun patrol, and the defenders at the last post really didn't shoot. Just when a Guijun officer who led the team was about to ask him what was going on outside. When He Zhengdao's eight people approached, when the officer just realized that something was wrong, he heard He Zhengdao's cold voice and said, "Kill!" ”
The Gui officer, who was still thinking about the patrol to report to him what was going on outside, fell a little dumbfounded under a knife that pierced his throat.
As for the other Gui soldiers who were aware of the attack, before they could react. These commandos who followed He Zhengdao tonight and had already killed some of them were agile and fierce like tigers descending from the mountain, and wiped out all these Gui troops who were close in front of them to the sentry posts.
Slowly pushing open the door of the arms warehouse, He Zhengdao didn't have time to take a closer look and ordered directly: "Order the first company and the second company to quickly come in and get equipment." Pick something that is easy to take, get the weapon and quickly follow me, and attack the headquarters of the Gongcheng Gui army. Today I'm going to make Gongcheng lively for a good night! ”
Wang Tianlin, who received the order, also heard the increasingly fierce gunfire in the city, and knew that the battle had reached the most critical moment, so he quickly organized his soldiers to rush into the military arsenal, took out boxes of neatly stacked guns and ammunition, and equipped them into the hands of the Red officers and soldiers who were holding these weapons and were smiling.
In the face of this warehouse full of guns and ammunition, it is rare to see such a good gun Red Army soldiers, and they are also a little dazzled. Until He Zhengdao emphasized that he would take what he would, a few people soon rushed to the places where the light machine guns were placed, and the excited people held a light machine gun in their hands.
When He Zhengdao saw that no one had taken the few mortars placed there, he knew that this thing was easy to use, and immediately said, "You guys wait to carry two mortars and carry a box of shells with me." I left three squads in a company to protect the arsenal, and before we came back, any Gui army who dared to attack here would give me a hard beating.
You can use the ammunition in this warehouse at your disposal, and if you really can't stop it, then I authorize you to blow up this warehouse for me before retreating. Do you understand everything? ”
After explaining these to the three squad leaders sent by Wang Tianlin, He Zhengdao quickly rushed to the headquarters of the security regiment in Gongcheng with the remaining troops. Along the way, they encountered the Gui army, but they were all beaten and fled in embarrassment by the Red Army, which was frantically strafing with light machine guns.
It wasn't until He Zhengdao led the large army to arrive at the location of the headquarters of the security regiment that he saw the Gui army inside in a panic. With regard to these officers and men of the Security Corps who took pleasure in killing the Red Army, He Zhengdao today will teach them the truth of 'killing everyone will also kill them' with a lesson in blood!
