Chapter 41: Ambush Sad Chinese New Year's Eve

Xiao Xiong never dreamed that the night attack on the warehouse of the Devil's Station Freight Yard was actually ambushed by the devil. And the devil's reinforcements arrived in a blink of an eye, which really caught him and the Einsatzgruppen off guard. There is no doubt that the devil's gas bombs were definitely not placed here. The devil has already taken precautions, set up a trick, and waits here for himself and the Einsatzgruppen to throw themselves into the net.

The gunfire on the periphery became more and more intense, and Xiong Qiang and the Hunters, who were on guard duty outside, were definitely holding back the reinforcing enemy.

Suddenly, a devil's armored car drove out of the warehouse gate, and the dense machine-gun bullets on the car kept strafing the rangers hidden outside the gate, and rushed towards their hiding place. Behind the armored car, there are also a large number of devils.

The situation is urgent. At this time, Hong Zifa, the leader of the 5th Squadron, who was blocking the enemy in front, led his team members to continuously throw grenades at the devils. A large number of grenades exploded on and around the Devil's armored car, and the Devil who was following the car was immediately blown down in a large area. However, the armored car only stopped for a while, and the devils inside waited for the devils behind to catch up, and then continued to rush towards the outside of the courtyard.

A member of the fifth squadron, strapped several grenades together, ran towards the armored vehicle. However, he had only run a few steps before he was knocked to the ground by the devil's machine gun. Immediately afterwards, several more team members rushed over, but they all died before they could run to the car.

The devils behind the armored car also kept firing, and the dense fire pressed the members of the Einsatzgruppen to raise their heads, and there were constant casualties among the fighters.

Seeing that the armored car was about to drive to the gate of the warehouse, if the devils rushed out of the gate of the warehouse yard, the entire Einsatzgruppen would be exposed to the enemy, and they would be surrounded by devils on their backs, facing the danger of annihilation.

Hong Zifa led the remaining members of the 5th Squadron to stubbornly resist the enemy's attack by the gate. In the blink of an eye, the armored car was almost in front of the gate, and a team member picked up a bundle of grenades and threw himself on the devil's armored car. With a loud "boom", the grenade exploded on the devil's car. But the armored car was only shaken a few times, and then continued to drive outside.

It turned out that the explosion point just now was only on the armor of the car, and the armor was only a small piece downward, and the car was almost undamaged.

Hong Zifa and another soldier who were closest to the devil's armored car saw this situation and knew that there was no other way to stop the attack of the armored vehicle. They each picked up a bundle of grenades and rushed over. The team member threw himself on the armored car from the side, while Hong Zifa met the armored car that was coming, flipped over a few times and rolled under the car.

After two huge explosions, the devil's armored car was finally blown to pieces, and the devils who followed behind were also killed and injured a lot. The enemy's offensive also eased for the time being. However, due to the fact that there were too many devils, and they had already advanced to the wall of the gate, the situation faced by the Einsatzgruppen team, although it had eased slightly, was also not optimistic, and it was in danger.

Xiong Qiang led the hunter team to set up many obstacles on the way to the warehouse gate, blocking layer by layer, so that the reinforced devils could not let go of their hands and feet to attack, and the advance was relatively slow. Li Minghua led more than 100 members of the hunter team, and according to the terrain such as houses and ditches on both sides of the road, they specially selected the machine guns of the devils and the commanders to open fire, and they tried their best to suppress the firepower of the devils' attacks.

Ma Changyong, who was leading his police officers to stand guard near the station, was happy at first, but when he heard the gunshots so intense, he felt that the situation was a little bad. When he saw a large number of devils driving towards the freight yard, he panicked. He definitely didn't expect such an attack battle, but it turned into an ambush battle for the Einsatzgruppen by the devils.

Ma Changyong was very anxious, and he was worried about the Einsatzgruppen who were in a desperate situation. We have to find a way to rescue the desperate Einsatzgruppen.

Since he was familiar with the terrain in this area, he took advantage of the current chaos and ran quickly in the direction of the freight yard. This area is the security area that Ma Changyong is responsible for. Because it is close to the station, and the end point of the north end of the Nanxun Railway is here, the guests from the south to the north are concentrated here, and there are many buildings around, small restaurants, small hotels, tea houses, shops, etc. are also everywhere, and a large number of residents live around, so this area is the same as the wharf, has always been the prosperous center of Jiujiang.

Ma Changyong quickly approached the freight yard with his familiarity with the terrain. He saw that the devils had pressed the Einsatzgruppen in a very small space, and the reinforced devils were heading towards the freight yard attack. The Einsatzgruppen are attacking under the pressure of enemies from two directions, and the devil's intention is clearly to annihilate them.

The Einsatzgruppen casualties are already heavy. Ma Changyong searched carefully in the fighting Einsatzgruppen, and he finally saw Xiong Qiang, the chief of staff, who was firing at the enemy with a gun.

He hurriedly turned his cotton hat over and put it on, and put the cotton coat back on, he was afraid that the Einsatzgruppen would accidentally hurt himself. He bent down and approached Xiong Qiang, who was shooting at the enemy, took off the hat on his head and waved it, shouting desperately:

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Xiong, I'm Ma Changyong."

Xiong Qiang put down his gun, turned his head to follow the sound to look for the past, and saw Ma Changyong waving his hat towards him. He immediately ordered one of his team members to hurriedly bring Ma Changyong over.

"It's so dangerous, what are you doing here?" Xiong Qiang blamed.

Listening to Xiong Qiang's concerned words, Ma Changyong's heart was hot, and his eyes moistened. He wiped his eyes and saw many fallen soldiers lying on the ground, most of whom were wounded. He hurriedly said:

"Quick! Hurry up and retreat. Chief of Staff, follow me, and I'll take you out of the encirclement. ”

"Do you have a way?"

"Yes, I know of a secret passage that leads all the way to the river." Ma Changyong hurriedly said.

"Quick! Inform Commander Xiao to retreat to this side quickly. Xiong Qiang ordered to the orderly. The orderlies hurried to the freight yard.

"Minghua, you lead the hunter team to block the enemy, and after everyone has retreated, don't fall in love with the battle, and withdraw quickly." Xiong Qiang ordered Li Minghua. He looked at Minghua and patted him on the shoulder:

"You must come back alive, I'll wait for you!"

"Yes!" After Li Minghua finished speaking, he immediately organized a team to launch a counterattack against the enemy, and pushed back the frantically attacking enemy by dozens of meters.

Xiao Xiong received Xiong Qiang's news, leaving Liming's Sixth Squadron as a blocker, although the Fifth Squadron suffered heavy casualties, and there were only less than 20 people left in the team of more than 100 people, but the heroic sacrifice of Squadron Leader Hong Zifa inspired the team members to have greater fighting spirit, they resolutely refused to retreat, and vowed to fight to the death with the comrades of the Fifth Squadron to block the enemy and cover the retreat of the large army. Xiao Xiong instructed Liming not to fight, to retreat while fighting, and to lead everyone to evacuate as soon as the large army withdrew.

Looking at the warriors under his command who regarded death as home, Xiao Xiong saluted them, turned around and led the other team members to run in the direction of Xiong Qiang.

When Xiao Xiong led everyone to arrive, Xiong Qiang had already begun to organize the troops to retreat. Everyone silently followed Ma Changyong from the freight yard through several nearby alleys to a road, although there were police guards along the road, they were all Ma Changyong's men. When they saw Ma Changyong leading the way in front, they all hid in the house or under the eaves on the side of the road, turned their backs and pretended not to see.

Ma Changyong led everyone to the vicinity of his police station, and he led everyone into a courtyard. It seems to be a sake brewery, and there are many wine jars in it, and the smell of wine is constantly wafting out of the jars. Ma Changyong walked to the back of the winery, opened the back door, and everyone followed him out.

Behind it is a deep ditch. Ma Changyong pointed to the ditch and said to Xiong Qiang:

"From this ditch, you can walk two miles all the way to the Longkai River, and from there, you can walk a short distance along the Longkai River to the Yangtze River. You'll be able to do it when you get there, Captain Yantai's boat should still be parked there......"

Xiao Xiong stepped forward and shook Ma Changyong's hand, and said, "Brother Ma, thank you." ”

Xiong Qiang hurriedly stepped forward and introduced:

"Brother Ma, this is our Commander Xiao."

Ma Changyong was very excited and held Xiao Xiong's hands tightly and said:

"Commander, you're so polite, I'm also a member of the Einsatzgruppen. Hurry up, I have to rush back, and I have to go and bring out the brothers who are blocking the devil behind. ”

With that, he turned and ran, heading towards the place where the gun had fired.

Xiao Xiong and Xiong Qiang led everyone down to the ditch in turn. The ditch is only about two meters wide and more than one meter deep. Since it was winter, there wasn't much water in the gutter. This ditch is located behind the houses where the residents lived, and the houses of the residents were built against the ditch, so they are very hidden. At this time, coupled with the sound of gunfire outside and firecrackers in the distance, even if the sound of walking in the ditch is made, the people next to it can't hear it at home.

Along the ditch, they managed to avoid the devil's patrols and the sentry along the road. Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to come to Longkai River safely.

The water of the Longkai River comes from the Lianxi Spring under the Lotus Peak of Lushan, the Shili River flowing from the Scissors Gorge of Lushan, and the turbulent water of Ruichang from west to east. The estuary of the Longkai River is a wetland beach, where the vast lake and the mighty Yangtze River are connected with Gantang Lake and Nanmen Lake. The river flows all year round, and the water is clear, hitting the large pebbles in the water, and constantly roaring. Xiao Xiong led everyone to run cautiously along the riverbank towards the river.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the night is as dark as ink. Xiao Xiong and the Einsatzgruppen moved forward in concealment, and after a while, they came out of the mouth of the Longkai River, and they finally came to the riverside.
