Chapter 419: Anti-Infiltration Operations
Hearing Sogoro Ado talk about this situation, Lin Yiqing frowned.
"Bring me the map." Lin Yiqing said.
Sogoro Ado shouted back, and a samurai ran over, moved over a small table, and spread a map of the area on the table.
Lin Yiqing asked Sogoro Ado to roughly mark the location of the Beishan Heights and the stretcher team of the Gancheng team under shelling on the map, and then he took a ruler pen and calculated it.
"The enemy's main battery, it should be here." Lin Yiqing drew a circle in one spot and said, "Have you scouted here?" ”
"Scouting, there are Lucians defending there, it is very tight, we are not strong enough, so we did not go to attack." "Scouts who have been there say that there is a Cossack regiment, a war-tested unit that has just been transferred from Lucia. Truth be told, they're tenacious enough, they've been shelled by us, but they're still there. ”
"The town here is an important transportation artery for the Lu army to the rear, and the Lu army has been prepared for a long time." Eisuke Minamino, who was next to Lin Yiqing, said, "There was originally a fort built there, which was built by the government army a long time ago, but it was destroyed by our artillery fire, and now it is likely that the Lu army has set up an artillery position there again, or repaired the fort there." ”
"We're going to help you get rid of it." Lin Yiqing thought for a while and said.
"That's ...... Wouldn't it be too risky? Seeing that Lin Yiqing only brought a dozen or so members of the Odd Soldiers, Ado Sogoro asked with some concern.
Lin Yiqing smiled, turned to Minamino Eisuke and asked, "What do you think?" Do we need to pull troops from here to help us? ”
"No, you don't." Eisuke Minamino smiled confidently. "That's enough for us."
Didn't wait for Sogoro Ado to say anything. As the captain, Eisuke Minamino gave the team an order to fight.
Seeing Lin Yiqing, Minamino Eisuke and the others quickly disappear into the woods, Sogoro Ado's eyes were full of admiration.
"Only Lin Jun can lead us to such a victory!" He sighed.
Although he repelled many attacks by the Russian army, the casualties of the Satsuma army also began to increase, and some people had doubts about the prospects of this war. His faith was re-erected in this moment.
After a short time, Lin Yiqing and others approached the position of the Russian army.
Here, the Russian army set up a three-dimensional defensive position, which is mainly composed of a battery built by the former Japanese government army, surrounded by permanent trenches and fortifications, in addition to 4 107 mm cannons, there is also a large-caliber mortar gun, and the surrounding defensive positions are equipped with Gatling machine guns, flat-fire artillery and other heavy fire weapons against infantry. Unlike in the past, the Russians hid their artillery in tunnels and then rolled it out during battle.
After careful observation. Eisuke Minamino drew up a battle plan, and then the odd soldiers went into action.
The members of the Odd Soldier are led by Eisuke Minamino. First used explosives to put together several main tunnels of the Russian battery, and then used explosives and fire oil to blow up the fortifications that the Russians had spent a lot of effort to build, and then cleaned up the battlefield, and the strange soldiers found almost 500 corpses of Russian soldiers.
"Somebody is coming, it looks like government troops." Said one of the odd soldiers in charge of the lookout guard.
"There's still a cannon here that hasn't broken, and there are still a lot of shells left, so let's use this cannon to destroy them!" Eisuke Minamino looked at the only 107mm cannon left on the Russian artillery position, and said to Lin Yiqing with some excitement.
Today, he somehow thought about the addiction to cannons.
"Let's do it." Lin Yiqing smiled and nodded, and pulled out the combat knife pinned to his waist, "If you want to use the cannon, you can use it, if you are willing to use the knife to solve them, come with me." ”
Lin Yiqing said, jumped out of the fort and disappeared into the forest in an instant, and several members of the strange soldiers also jumped out of the fort and followed Lin Yiqing like ghosts.
"Come on! We hit them with artillery! Eisuke Minamino beckoned to the other team members and manipulated the Russians' cannons.
The fog lifted.
The sudden shelling also stopped. Iwasaki Eiya gently crawled out of the bushes, looking around for cover as he looked around. I don't know if the troops are advancing too fast, or if they are scattered, and now they can't see a single person of their own around them.
He must have been left alone, caught in the encirclement of the enemy. However, he thought that his own people must be nearby, but he did not dare to shout hello. He became scared.
Fortunately, although he was very scared at this moment, he still remembered how to deal with this situation during the jungle combat training, so he quickly crawled to a large rock next to him, and sneaked over, trying to rely on it as cover.
He crawled over a severed hand of a Russian soldier and got some blood stained on the front of his shirt. He didn't care so much, and when he got behind the boulder, he quickly turned around and pointed his gun at a possible searcher. There was a bush and grass next to the boulder that could be invisible.
He couldn't shoot yet, he felt that there were enemy troops everywhere, and the sound of gunfire would undoubtedly attract more enemies. The boulders and bushes did not provide him with ideal security.
To be honest, he was scared. His fears were well-founded and forgivable. As soon as he came out of school, he went to the battlefield in March as a soldier, and he has not yet completed the transformation from a young man to a soldier.
At this moment, in his mind, he inexplicably felt that he was at the critical juncture of his life, and after he hid himself, he subconsciously raised his rifle.
He was a little out of breath with nervousness. He lay on the ground, listening to the distant sound of gunfire. The sound of gunfire was very intense, especially the sound of cannons, which shook the earth. For a moment, however, he felt that the sound of the cannon was too far away, as if it were coming from heaven. The rumbling sound is like a kind of music, which is designed to lead people to the world of nothingness.
The fog was too big just now. No figure could be seen a few meters away. When the enemy suddenly launches an artillery attack. His team was in chaos in an instant. A shell landed five meters in front of him. The three men who walked in front of him all fell with the sound of the explosion, and they didn't snort much. At that moment, he didn't rejoice, let alone any superfluous thoughts, but immediately lay down and burrowed into the bush that he had just crawled out of, until the shelling stopped. The fog cleared before it crept out.
Now he looked at the ground next to him and in front of him, full of craters, kicked dirt, blown branches...... In particular, the corpses and stumps of both sides of the enemy and the enemy were scattered everywhere, and it was terrible to see. The smell of gunpowder has not completely dissipated, mixed with the smell of blood.
He didn't know how many enemies there were, and if he really caught fire, he would knock down at most two, and he would be killed. But he didn't want to die like this yet. At this moment, he suddenly felt homesick. He misses his family very much, and his relatives at home, including his parents, a younger brother, and a younger sister, all entered his mind at this time.
He was really reluctant to die like this, to die in the jungle battlefield like this, to leave them forever.
He raised the muzzle a little. He really hoped that the enemy wouldn't find him, and he would leave after a random search, in which case, he would also leave quickly and find his troops, so that everyone could live a little longer.
He knew in his heart that after being attacked by the heavy artillery fire of the Satsuma army just now, although the troops were disrupted, everyone remembered the direction of their target, and most of the men and horses would continue to attack and advance towards the mission heights. Now following the troops, is what he wants most in his heart,
The gunfire and artillery on the high ground in the distance were still ringing fiercely. It was a friendly unit attacking, perhaps his own company was taking a position. Although it was quiet around here for the time being, he didn't want such a calm, he couldn't bear it, if suddenly a gunshot rang out, the searching enemy would definitely be lured away, then he would be safe, he thought.
At this moment, it may be due to the excessive secretion of adrenaline in his hands, which caused his palms to be full of sweat now, and he was trembling a little as the enemy approached.
He remembered that his troops had advanced in a thick fog, and he was horrified when he saw the three men in front of him die in the sudden landing explosion of enemy shells. There was a Donghai soldier who was cut in two on the spot, and let out a muffled scream, which he felt was too terrifying. Yesterday they were all smoking together, talking about their ideals. The East China Sea soldier said that he would go home after the war and take the university entrance examination, but this would never be possible. He didn't fire a single shot on the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, he went to another world.
Now he was homesick, and all that flashed in his mind was his parents, his brother and sister, and he thought that they must be worried about him.
Originally, he wanted to stay away from this war forever, but when he remembered the humiliation he had suffered, his heart burned like coals, so he came back. And he did so, and he also had the support of his uncle Yataro Iwasaki.
Perhaps the mother will be sorrowful and sorrowful, and wash her face with tears all day long; My father couldn't be happy, he might say that it was okay, but in his heart he must be so worried; What about younger brothers and sisters? How worried and scared will they be? If they do get the news of his death again...... Eiya Iwasaki didn't dare to think about it anymore.
You have to leave this place alive and return triumphantly so that you don't bring pain to your loved ones.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The enemy's artillery fire continued to fire, and the explosion rang out loudly, shaking the heavens and the earth. I saw the smoke of gunpowder, mud and rocks flying indiscriminately, and the broken guns and bloody stumps rose into the air and scattered in all directions. The world seemed to be on the verge of destruction, and the sound of a loud explosion drowned out everything.
Just now, when he reached out to the ground to wipe his sweat, he found that the ground was wet and full of blood, and the sweat on his hands not only did not wipe it clean, but rattled the grass, and the vigilant enemy discovered the movement. But the enemy could not find out who was hiding in the bushes and grass behind the big rocks, and did not dare to shoot rashly, for fear of injuring his own people. So the man on the right shouted something at the loud sound of the shells exploding on the hill.
Soon, another person answered him.
Hearing this, Iwasaki Hideya breathed a sigh of relief.
The other party is his own people, and he also belongs to the infiltration force. What he just said is the code of contact identification.
Iwasaki Hideya quickly answered the code and jumped out of the hiding place.
Four men dressed in the black uniforms of the Satsuma Army approached.
"It's you, Iwasaki-kun." One recognized him, "I thought you weren't following." He laughs.
"Iwasaki-kun. Your face is very bad. Is it a return to the old place. Feeling a little sick? Someone made fun of him.
Iwasaki Eiya didn't care about the other party's teasing, he knew that he was safe for the time being.
Since being released by Lin Yiqing, he concealed that he had signed a "pledge never to participate in the war", told his uncle Yataro Iwasaki and the War Department that he had escaped, and both Yataro Iwasaki and the War Department affirmed his "heroic behavior" and commended him.
After escaping, Iwasaki Eiya didn't want to return to the battlefield, but Yataro Iwasaki wanted to show his loyalty to the government. Asking him to go back, the War Department also wanted him to serve as a guide for the Russian army, and his own hatred for Lin Yiqing and Iwasaki Yuka prompted him to return to the army.
Now, as a member of the infiltration force, he has come to this battlefield again.
These men were also members of the infiltration force, and like Iwasaki Hideya, they were all dressed in Satsuma Army clothing, and their mission was to infiltrate enemy positions and spy on them. By the way, some sabotage - this hand was actually learned from the Satsuma, but they didn't learn it well.
Eiya Iwasaki was about to answer. At that moment, a bullet whizzed in, like a cannonball flying overhead, and burrowed into the chest of the interrogator. This guy also let out a painful "vomit" like the Tokai samurai who died in front of Iwasaki Hideya just now, and the gun was thrown aside, and he fell backwards into the sky.
The moment he fell, Eiya Iwasaki saw the enemy, and he quickly raised his gun and opened fire on the man.
The two fired at each other almost at the same time, and Iwasaki Eiya only felt a bullet fly past his forehead, and with a whoosh it burrowed into the grass under his right armpit. The enemy in front of him had a very high combat quality, and his reaction could be said to be very fast.
Iwasaki Eiya's bullet didn't hit the other party, and the other party stopped fighting, and disappeared into the grass with a dodge, and then Iwasaki Eiya realized that several of his companions who were talking to him just now had fallen in an instant.
He's only one left!
Iwasaki Eiya was about to run away, but he was surprised to find that a person was standing behind him at some point.
Iwasaki Hideya was shocked, he didn't look carefully at who this person was, he instinctively aimed the barrel of the gun at him, and was about to pull the trigger, when a force came from nowhere, causing the rifle to come out of his hand at once!
The finger guard of the rifle broke his fingers, and he realized that the rifle had been taken away by the enemy, and he didn't know how the rifle could be taken off, so he immediately went to pull out the bayonet, but as soon as he held the bayonet in his hand, his wrist was tightly held by the other party.
Iwasaki Hideya felt as if the bowl was caught in an iron tong, and instantly lost consciousness, and he watched as the bayonet in his hand fell to the ground and landed at the opponent's feet, who raised his foot and lifted it to the side, and the bayonet flew into the grass.
"Long time no see, Second Lieutenant Iwasaki." A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and when Iwasaki Hideya heard this voice, his mind immediately went blank with fright.
Lin Yiqing!
"These guys in our uniforms are hateful! I thought that Captain Minamino had fired the wrong person, but I didn't expect them to be the enemy! A young member of the Odd Soldier said.
"You idiot! Have you returned all the tips that the teacher gave you to identify friend and foe? Another of the older Odd Soldiers reprimanded him.
"No......" the young team member blushed, "I mean, Captain Minamino is too far away to tell the difference......"
"Then you will ask Captain Nanno in a moment, how he judged, and did not hesitate to kill them with a cannon!" The older team member said with some disdain, "This is the difference between the captain and you!" The captain uses cannons like sniper rifles, and you can't! ”
"I'm sorry! It was me who was wrong! I'll ask the captain for advice! The young player said.
Lin Yiqing didn't listen to the two subordinates, he just looked at Iwasaki Hideya with a cold gaze.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Second Lieutenant Iwasaki." Lin Yiqing said coldly, "I remember that you signed a pledge that you will never participate in the war, why did you come here?" ”
"I ......" Iwasaki Hideya's heart shrank, "I was forced to ......"
"As a last resort?" Lin Yiqing looked at the Satsuma military uniform on Iwasaki Hideya and sneered.
At this time, Lin Yiqing had already let go of his wrist, and Iwasaki Eimi hung his unconscious hand, just looking at Lin Yiqing with a frightened gaze. Although Lin Yiqing didn't have a gun in his hand, and the combat knife with a cold light like an axe was pinned to his waist and was not pulled out, he still didn't dare to move.
Those thoughts that once wanted to find Lin Yiqing and Iwasaki Yujia to take revenge have been thrown out of the clouds by him, and all he thinks about now is how to save his life.
At this moment, how he hoped that Iwasaki Yuka could be here! Then he can use her kindness and let her save herself one more time.
"Second Lieutenant Iwasaki, you should know what will happen if you break your promise." Lin Yiqing stared at Hideya Iwasaki, "This time, I'm afraid no one will pay the ransom for you anymore." ”
"You...... You can't kill me! We...... It's a relative! You Jia is my cousin and I am your relative! You can't kill me! You Jia won't agree to you killing me! Iwasaki Hideya knew what Lin Yiqing was going to do to him, and couldn't help but howl loudly. (To be continued......)
