Chapter 466: Night Attack on Tianjin Port
As for Bruce Lee and Liu Xiaogang, after receiving a call back from Commander Liu Hua, they immediately began to make final preparations before the war. The battalion directly under the guard brigade and the first squadron of the special operations brigade, under the personal command of the brigade leader Liu Xiaogang, quickly disappeared into the vast night, and detoured to the Tianjin Port, which was being illuminated by various searchlights at this moment.
The First Regiment of the Guard Brigade and the Second Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade, under the command of Huang Zhengqing, the commander of the First Regiment, moved towards Tianjin City, a few kilometers away. As for the remaining two main regiments, together with a large amount of heavy equipment, it was no surprise that, under the personal command of the brigade commander Bruce Lee, with their fastest marching speed, they rushed to the ambush battlefield that had already been selected dozens of miles away, ready to ambush all the troops who came to reinforce them... After several hours of covert marching, several hundred soldiers of the First Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade and its directly subordinate battalion finally rushed to the outskirts of Tianjin Port. At this moment, it is already the early hours of the morning in the dead of night. The whole Tianjin Port, after a busy day, has already returned to tranquility... A few snow-bright searchlights, on several commanding heights of Tianjin Port, are constantly shaking, searching for all the abnormalities that may appear around the port... As for the little devils in the port, in addition to almost two squads, there were nearly a hundred soldiers. In addition to patrolling back and forth in the port, the remaining soldiers had already burrowed into their barracks and fallen asleep. Similarly, the dozen or so gunboats moored at the berths in the harbor, with the exception of a few hapless naval soldiers, were ruthlessly left on the gunboats by the captain, blowing the cold sea breeze, and serving as patrols. The rest of the soldiers, led by their respective commanders, all the same, rested in the port barracks ... More than a dozen gunboats, under the blowing of the waves, constantly shaking their huge bodies... At this very moment, more than 500 commanders and fighters of the battalion directly under the Guard Brigade are under the leadership of more than a dozen members of the First Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade. With the help of the cover of the grass around the port, I slowly touched the barbed wire fence arranged by the Japanese army around the port... Looking at the barbed wire fences, more than 500 soldiers, except for a dozen special combat personnel who were responsible for opening the gap, the rest of the soldiers were all lying motionless on the ground... Under the cover of the thatch tied to the hat, from a distance, the meadow where hundreds of warriors were hidden, like an overgrown wilderness, there was nothing ... As for the dozen or so special combat personnel who were responsible for opening the passage, they were holding a few iron tongs, and through the gap between the flashing searchlights of the army, they quickly touched the side of the barbed wire... A few slight thumps rang out... The barbed wire fences that stood in front of the soldiers were quickly cut by the soldiers... Immediately, one by one, the passages were opened... More than 500 soldiers, along one passage after another, quickly drilled into the interior of Tianjin Port, quietly lurking less than 500 meters away from the barracks, waiting for the gunfire to sound.
At the same time, an anti-aircraft machine gun company assigned to the battalion directly under it, and nine anti-aircraft machine guns were erected at the first time. The long barrel and thick muzzle of the gun, facing all the commanding heights of the harbor a few hundred meters away, were responsible for providing the most basic fire support and cover to the fighters.
As for the more than 200 members of the 1st Squadron of the Special Operations Group. At this moment, under the personal leadership of the captain Liu Xiaogang, with his own weapons and ammunition on his head, he slowly touched the edge of the coastline of the port, from the coastline, to a quiet port. Finally, after two hours of continuous immersion in the seawater, the group finally quietly touched the side of the berths in the port, and quietly waited for the arrival of the attack time..."Lao Wang, after the battle started, you took the first team and was responsible for blowing up all the little devil gunboats moored in the port with the special explosives we brought... The second and third squads followed me and were responsible for eliminating the little devil patrols on the shore. Remember, during the operation, try not to shoot as much as possible. However, if the gunfire is heard, all the combat groups must destroy all the patrols at all costs and in the shortest possible time, and block the Japanese troops in their barracks... In addition, the reconnaissance team does not participate in the sneak attack, your task is to quietly give me the side of the army material warehouse after the battle starts, and cooperate with the soldiers of the guard brigade to take the warehouse in the shortest possible time, and you must not let the little devils blow up the warehouse..."Looking at the several squad leaders gathered around him, Liu Xiaogang ordered in a low voice... Seeing the captain's inquiring gaze, several squad leaders nodded one after another, and then made a clear gesture... After half an hour's rest, more than 200 special combat personnel once again regained their pre-departure vigor. With Liu Xiaogang's order, the entire first squadron immediately split into three and began to lurk towards their respective targets.
More than 60 members of the team, holding tight bags of explosives wrapped in oilcloths, slowly swam towards the berth where more than a dozen gunboats were parked. And these dozens of team members are the first combat team personally led by captain Wang Hong, and their task is to blow up all the gunboats in the port when the battle starts....
Under the personal leadership of Captain Liu Xiaogang, the main force of the first squadron, two or three squads, and more than 100 members, quickly crawled out of the water like ghosts, and quickly disappeared on the dock with the combat group as a unit, rushing towards the combat targets they had already selected.
As for the reconnaissance team responsible for the sneak attack on the port warehouse, dozens of team members. Immediately following behind the two or three squads, they disappeared on the dock, and from different directions, they quickly detoured towards the doors of several large warehouses... Because every soldier's body, after going ashore, in the shortest possible time, changed into the little devil military uniform that had been prepared a long time ago. Therefore, the soldiers of the special operations brigade who walked back and forth in the port did not attract the attention of the little devils, and only regarded them as unlucky patrols like themselves... Under the influence of such a mind, a patrol of the army, when they patrol to the searchlight outside, can not reach the dead end. One by one, the soldiers wearing the same military uniform of their own, to their surprise, quickly stabbed a dagger into the chest of the little devil next to them when the two patrols were staggered... Under such an assassination, in less than half an hour, the entire port, the patrol of dozens of little devils, were all replaced by members of the special combat team... Without the disturbance of the patrols, these special combat members, who were like entering a no-man's land, no longer had any scruples and began to occupy one commanding heights after another..."Captain, we have occupied all the commanding heights, all the searchlights, and we have all controlled them. At the same time, the machine gun position at the entrance of the barracks was also occupied by us, ensuring that even a little devil could not rush out. In addition, the reconnaissance team sent a message that dozens of little devil sentries at the gates of the six large warehouses had also been cleared. Now all the doors of the warehouse have been completely controlled by us. "A squad leader of a special operations brigade came to the captain of a squad that had just finished killing a military squad and reported.
"Good job... Signal the surrounding battalions to rush into the harbor immediately, take over from the team, and occupy all the commanding heights. At the same time, in the shortest possible time, eliminate hundreds of devil soldiers in the barracks of the port... In addition, inform Captain Wang to start bombing the ship..."Then wipe the blood in the dagger's blood tank on the corpse of the little devil. Liu Xiaogang nodded approvingly, and ordered..."Yes, Captain..."Immediately, the entire port, which was still a brightly lit searchlight just now, immediately opened and closed rhythmically, flashing three times around... Suddenly, more than 500 fighters of the battalion directly under the command of the special combat team immediately divided into several units under the leadership of the special combat team members and ran towards their respective targets without any scruples. As for the heavy machine guns of the anti-aircraft machine gun company, they were directly regarded as heavy weapons and anti-aircraft weapons, and were erected on all the commanding heights of the port... At the same time, the explosives had already exploded, and the team members quietly lurked around the gunboats. Immediately, the explosive packets with magnets were attached to the gunboat's hull. ignited the fuse of the explosive pack, and then, quickly dived into the water, leaving the water that could become a sea of fire at any time..."Yaga, there is someone in the water......yours, take a look at what's under the boat, hurry..."The soldiers fled quickly, without accident, alarming the devil soldiers patrolling the gunboat. Listen to the sound of plopping and falling water from under the boat. A second lieutenant officer hurriedly exclaimed at the two soldiers who were on patrol.
"Hey, Your Excellency, Sir...", the two soldiers, quickly loaded their bullets, ran towards the bow of the ship... When the two soldiers, leaning out their bodies and heads, looked at the water where a noise came from under the boat. In the entire sea, only waves remained, and not even a single shadow of the team members could be seen. Of course, the bags of explosives that were sticking to the hull of the ship and were sparkling were not surprising to meet the eyes of the two little devils.
"Ah, Yaga, what is that..."Looking at the jet-black explosive bag that was sticking to the hull of the ship and was steaming from sparks, a little devil soldier quickly exclaimed..."Yaga, it's an explosive bag, how can there be an explosive bag here." Eight grid tooth road, we have been attacked by the enemy, hurry, immediately go into the water, get rid of the explosives bag, otherwise, we will all die, die..." As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the voice of the second lieutenant officer sounded behind him. I saw that the second lieutenant officer, holding a telescope, was motionless looking at the front of him, and was constantly spitting sparks of explosives. Then, at the two soldiers in front of him, he exclaimed loudly
"Hey, Sir..." When they heard the words explosives pack, the two soldiers were immediately startled... Because they knew what was left of the gunboat under their feet after the explosion of the explosives package under the ship... Thinking of this, the two soldiers did not hesitate, and immediately jumped into the sea with a lifelong leap for life..."Plop... Plop..."The two soldiers who jumped into the sea quickly swam towards the bow of the ship, which was braving the sparkling explosives pack. However, when they were less than two meters away from the explosives pack, a dazzling burst of fire suddenly flashed in front of their eyes, and then an earth-shattering explosion reached their ears... The gunboat, which weighed only a few tens of tons, was thrown high from the sea directly from the sea under the action of the huge impetus generated by the explosion of the explosive pack. Then, it fell heavily into the water. However, at this moment, the entire bow of the gunboat was almost blown to pieces, revealing gloomy gaps. Suddenly, streams of seawater quickly flowed into the cabin from one gap after another. In less than half a minute, the gunboat, with a displacement of almost 100 tons, disappeared into the sea ... As for the two little devils who were close by, at the first moment of the explosives, their entire bodies were torn to pieces, and not even a single intact corpse was left... Immediately after the explosion of the first gunboat, a dozen gunboats followed by a sound of explosions from a distance ... With a series of explosions sounded in the harbor. Huge fireballs began to rise in the place where a dozen gunboats were... The gunboats that didn't have time to sink were engulfed in the fireballs from the explosion of the explosive packets in just a split second... In just an instant, the fleet of Tianjin Port, except for four gunboats and one warship, patrolled the open sea, and the remaining gunboats and warships all turned into fireballs, or directly buried at the bottom of the sea... The entire fleet lost most of its combat effectiveness under the night attack of the special operations group..."Woo woo woo..."As the explosion sounded in the port, the entire port also sounded a series of sharp sirens for the first time... A little devil who is in his own barracks, falling asleep. After hearing the sharp siren, he immediately got up from the bed, and before he even had time to put on his clothes, he quickly rushed out of the barracks with his weapons and rushed towards the port, which had become a sea of fire at this moment... However, just when the little devils, disheveled with weapons, had just rushed to less than thirty meters away from the gate of the barracks, a crisp machine-gun fire suddenly reached the ears of these little devils who had not yet fully woken up from their sleep... The sound of the gunfire was followed by the screams of the soldiers... The dozens of little devils who rushed to the front were shot and fell in a pool of blood under the frantic strafing of the two heavy machine guns blocking the entrance of the barracks... And it was under this bloody stimulation that the little devils who followed immediately behind suddenly woke up, and they all stared at the two heavy machine guns that were constantly spitting tongues of fire.
"Baga, cease fire immediately, otherwise you will die, die. We are the Imperial Marines... Immediately cease fire..."Looking at his comrades who were lying in a pool of blood, wailing in bursts of voices. The rest of the soldiers immediately lay on the ground, dodging the flying bullets. At the same time, a lieutenant officer, pulling his throat, shouted at the soldiers at the gate of the barracks.
Their shouts didn't help, though. With the fire of two heavy machine guns at the entrance of the barracks, an infantry company that came to reinforce, more than a hundred fighters, immediately occupied a favorable terrain and, under the illumination of several searchlights, began to snipe the little devil soldiers who were lying on the ground... In particular, on the three commanding heights less than 500 meters away from the barracks, three anti-aircraft machine guns, followed by the light of searchlights, fired arm-thick antiaircraft machine gun bullets into the barracks of the Japanese army... The little devil lying on the ground, the little devil who was touched by a tenfold anti-aircraft machine gun bullet, broke his arm and leg in the lightest, and in the worst case, his body was directly interrupted by a bullet... The more than 200 devil soldiers who rushed out of the barracks could barely lift their heads under the frenzied strafing blows of more than 100 soldiers and three anti-aircraft machine guns, and they did not even have the slightest chance to counterattack.
"Baga, the entrance to the barracks has been occupied by the enemy. Quick, immediately retreat and retreat to the barracks. Everyone, immediately retreat to the barracks and wait for reinforcements..."Looking at the side, one by one the soldiers were cut off by the terrifying bullets. A lieutenant officer was also shocked by the terrible scene in front of him. Feeling the impenetrable rain of bullets overhead, the lieutenant officer no longer had any hesitation and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.
With the order of the captain and the officer, these little devils, who were suffering in the dense rain of bullets, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Without any hesitation, he bent over, carried his weapon, and ran back to the barracks dozens of meters behind him... In less than a few minutes of firefighting, more than two hundred little devils, after leaving behind more than a hundred mutilated corpses of soldiers. The rest of the soldiers quickly returned to their barracks, ready to hold on and wait for reinforcements. With the retreat of the army, the soldiers who hurriedly reinforced, with the addition of the original infantry company, immediately completely blocked all the exits of the military camp and began to prepare for a strong attack, completely annihilating the remaining devil soldiers in the military camp... Just when a huge explosion occurred in the harbor and the entire sky was illuminated by a raging fireball, the four gunboats and one warship patrolling the open sea also discovered the attack on the harbor at the first time.
"Your Excellency, according to observations, all our gunboats anchored in the harbor have now been buried in the flames. It's just not known if all the Navy personnel still survived ... In addition, the entire port, at this moment, is in the midst of a fierce shootout. A second lieutenant officer quickly came to the fleet commander who was standing in the command room, holding a telescope, looking at the burning harbor a few miles away, and reported loudly.
