Chapter 72: Brave the Tiger's Den and Burn the Dragon House (3)
Xiao Xiong led the team to occupy the watchtower, and at this time, Xiao Xiong could carefully look at the famous and legendary watchtower at close range.
In addition to the tall and thick walls, the four corners of the walls are built with three-storey watchtowers, which are the insurmountable barriers of this Hakka house that has existed on the shore of Poyang Lake for more than half a century, and are an important guarantee for it to stand proudly. The square Wailong House, the watchtower building on the four corners, this is a typical Hakka architectural style in southern Gansu. But it's a pity that its owner sold himself for glory, took refuge in the devil, and became a traitor who tarnished the reputation of his ancestors and disgraced his family.
There is only one door on the first floor of the watchtower, it has no windows, and this door is built very strongly, not only with thick door panels, but also wrapped in iron sheets and inlaid with copper nails. There are four pile pits built inside the door, which can be secured with stout wooden stakes and held against the door panels. It's delusional to want to open the door from the outside.
On the second floor, there are windows on both sides of the inside and outside, the windows are so small that it is impossible for people to get in, and the railings are all made of steel thicker than a thumb, and there are thick window panels inside to cover. There are also two rows of high and low shooting holes on both sides of the windows.
The room on the third floor is more significant, except that the windows on all four sides of the wall are the same as those on the second floor, which is larger than the second floor, and the whole room is about a foot out, so that in times of crisis, the outside of the wall can be observed and shot.
This design can be said to be ingenious, if there is an attack by foreign enemies, the people in the dragon house only need to guard the watchtowers on the four corners, and then arrange some people on the wall, and use the shooting holes on the wall to block the enemy, basically can ensure the safety of the dragon house.
Xiao Xiong hurriedly left a few team members to set up machine guns on the wall and in the watchtower, ordered them to guard the watchtower, and asked them to prepare the existing ropes in the house. He took the rest of the team and left the watchtower immediately.
They returned to the kitchen, Jiang Yongming, Li Minghua, Liu Junshan and other members of the three-way team also returned, they all made a victory gesture to Xiao Xiong, and it seemed that everyone's actions were relatively smooth.
Then, under the leadership of Jiang Yongming, everyone divided into several roads and immediately began to act, and they quietly pounced on the house where the devils and the puppet soldiers were dining like tigers descending from the mountain.
Xiao Xiong: Their battle was the first to start. As soon as they arrived a short distance outside the hall, they were spotted by the devil sentry who was guarding the door. The sentry immediately raised his gun and asked. Li Minghua raised his gun, and the devil sentry immediately fell.
The gunfire was like a hornet's nest, and the whole Wailong House immediately burst into gunfire, grenades continued to explode, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
It was also Takasaki's fate to be like this, after the gunfire outside, he reacted very quickly, and immediately drew his sword to direct the devils in the house to resist. However, Xiao Xiong's first target was them in the hall. I saw gunfire from outside like a rain of gunfire. It didn't take long for the devils who were resisting by the door and window to fall down one after another.
Xiao Xiong ordered everyone to throw grenades into the house. Immediately, more than a dozen grenades exploded in the house, not to mention Gao Qi, Liu Shuming and a few mortals at this time, even the Da Luo Immortal should also return to the West Heaven, how can they stop this dense shrapnel flying everywhere like raindrops? After a rain of shrapnel, there was not a single living mouth in the house.
When the explosion stopped, and seeing that there was no shooting inside, Xiao Xiong ordered everyone to immediately enter the house to search. When the team members entered the house, they saw that none of the people inside had been blown up to the point that none of the bodies were intact, and the team members picked up the command knives on the ground, found the epaulettes of Takasaki's big rank, and quickly withdrew.
The devils and puppet soldiers in the house who were suddenly hit basically lost the ability to resist. However, there are at least two or three hundred devils and puppet soldiers in the Wailong House, and there are still many devil barracks in Gutang Town, not far from the Liu family's house, where there are more devils. This is not the place to stay.
Sure enough, the devils and puppet soldiers in the dragon house who were not attacked immediately rushed over when they heard the gunshots, and they opened fire on the rangers who were preparing to retreat. The rangers on the towers shot at the swarming enemies.
For a while, there was fighting everywhere in the dragon house, and the enemy desperately attacked the Einsatzgruppen, because their commanders were all attacked, and they had to fight to the death.
In particular, the housekeepers, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and avoiding the fierce fire of the watchtowers, quickly approached the hall from one room to another, and they hid in the shadows and suddenly opened fire on the Einsatzgruppen. In an instant, the attacked's rangers fell in large numbers, suffering heavy casualties.
Xiao Xiong saw that there were more and more enemies and the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, so he ordered his team members to concentrate their fire on the hidden places of the family members, threw grenades, and ordered the team members who were still fighting in the big house to quickly withdraw outside the gate.
In a few moments, the wooden house and its contents immediately burst into flames, and the enemies hiding in the house fled from the burning house. After the counterattack was met, the firepower immediately weakened considerably. But there are still a lot of family members and puppet soldiers of the security team who rushed over one after another.
Xiao Xiong led the Einsatzgruppen to fight and walk, and the members in the watchtower shot desperately at the pursuing enemy. Everyone finally retreated to the gate of the Wai Long House.
Xiao Xiong ordered everyone to quickly retreat to the lake, and then withdraw from there.
Hu Maoxian, who was near the wharf, heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Liujiawei's dragon house, and knew that Xiao Xiong and the others had begun to act, so they ordered the guerrillas, who had changed into pseudo-police uniforms, to come out of their hiding places and walk briskly towards the wharf.
"Stop, pass!"
Far away, two security guards who were guarding the pier raised their guns and asked.
"My own people, the police patrol."
Hu Maosheng replied.
The sentries guarding the dock were relieved to see dozens of dark shadows approaching, and they were relieved to see that they were all policemen.
"Why didn't you answer the password?"
The two puppet soldiers were in doubt, and before they could react, several team members immediately pounced and seized their guns.
"Don't move! We are the Star Guerrillas. ”
The two puppet soldiers were tied up by the team members and thrown among the grass on the side of the road, and everyone immediately rushed to the dock.
Before the guerrillas could reach the dock, the sentries hiding in the shadows spotted them and immediately opened fire on them. The guerrillas immediately returned fire. While firing, they attacked and advanced, continuing to attack the docks.
As soon as the devils docked at the dock saw that the enemy was attacking, they hurriedly started the motorboats and transports at once, and they prepared to leave the dock and go to the lake, because it was much safer there.
However, they had just started the boat and were about to leave the dock and turn the bow of the boat towards the lake, when the explosives and grenade detonation tied to the rudder were detonated. The rudders of several ships were blown up in an instant, and the ships were temporarily immobile, and the badly injured boats were already flooded and began to sink.
The devils on patrol boats and transport boats, some of them were busy extinguishing the fires on the ships, and some of them hurried to block the bombed planks of the boats, and they did not bother to launch a counterattack against the guerrillas.
Most of the devils dismounted, and they opened fire very ferociously at the guerrillas who rushed to the docks.
The guerrillas immediately stopped advancing and fought on the spot. Hu Maosheng knew that the purpose of attacking the dock was to prevent the devils from reinforcing the Liu family's mansion and attract the attention of the nearby devils, without having to make a desperate attack.
Sure enough, soon fierce gunfire was heard from the north and south directions, and the troops on the left and right flanks were frantically attacked by the reinforced enemy.
After a while, thick smoke billowed above the Liu family's mansion, and the night sky had been burned red by the fire that had ignited in the mansion.
As soon as Hu Maosheng saw that the combat mission on his side was almost complete, he ordered the troops to quickly break away from the battle and retreat to the lake.
Xiao Xiong led most of the people to leave the Liu family's mansion quickly, and Jiang Yongming led more than a dozen team members to guard the gate of the mansion. Li Minghua and Liu Junshan entered the two watchtowers on the north side, and he instructed the watchtowers to evacuate along the wall to the south after ten minutes.
Then the two of them went along the fence to the south watchtower, and went down to the outside along the rope that had been tied to meet Jiang Yongming.
A few machine guns firmly guarded the gate, and the fire inside became more and more intense, and the enemy near the fire was really like ants on a hot pot at this time. Although the walls of the Wai Long House are mixed with brick and stone or mud and are not afraid of fire, the houses inside are basically wooden, and the lower half of some houses built after the Great Wai Long House are made of brick and stone, and the houses are connected together, so once a fire starts, the result is that the fire is generally difficult to stop.
At this moment, the entire Liujia Wailong House is fighting everywhere, I don't know how many places are on fire, and when the two sides are fighting for their lives, it is impossible to put out the fire. Therefore, the wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind, and the rows of houses in the dragon house have become fire walls, and the dragon house has become a fire dragon house.
The devils and puppet soldiers who were blocked in the Wailong House couldn't rush out because the fire of several machine guns at the gate was too fierce, and they were all blocked inside the wall by Xiao Xiong's special forces. In the end, hundreds of enemies had to retreat into the courtyard inside the dragon house, hiding from the skyrocketing fire.
The team members on the watchtower have all climbed down the rope and joined Jiang Yongming and Li Minghua, who were left at the end. In the end, they planted explosives on the drawbridge, lit a fuse, and evacuated.
Only a loud bang was heard, and the drawbridge was blown into several sections and fell into the water.
When the enemy inside rushed out of the house and saw the drawbridge that had fallen into the water, they could only look at the water and sigh. At this time, Xiao Xiong and the others had already disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Xiong came to Gushan Lake, and they were the first to arrive. Soon after, however, several other detachments arrived.
Everyone hugged each other very happily and talked about their combat experience.
Although there were many casualties in this battle, it was enough to eliminate Gao Qi, the captain of the devil brigade, Liu Shuming, the pseudo county magistrate, and a large number of enemies, especially to eliminate a cancer on the edge of Poyang Lake -- the burning of Liujiawei Dragon House, which was a truly remarkable miracle.
Suddenly, one of the ship's crew members shouted:
"Commander, Captain, it's not good. Cao Jimin is gone. ”
