Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of Minato
The water ghost beckoned the brothers on the munitions ship to hide themselves, and the steamer slowly approached the shore under the guidance of two men on the dock.
"Brother Shui, there's a boat coming from behind."
The water ghost looked behind him and could see that several boats behind him had blocked the way to retreat.
The time to come finally came, and the water ghost was relieved to see the enemy appear.
The unknown is the most dangerous, this month Hanxing and the opponent's moves are only superficial, but Hanxing is the highest state of alert every day, the heartstrings of the brothers are really tight to the extreme, if the opponent does not make a move, Hanxing's people are only afraid that they will not be able to bear it mentally.
The boat docked, several people on the dock got on the boat, and under the command of the water ghost, they and the brothers on the boat were separated to find a good angle, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the dock.
The lights on the pier were dim, and the boat blocking the waterway behind it "swished" twice, and two signal flares, one red and one white, rose into the sky, shattering the quiet night.
After two gunshots, Xie Niancheng and the others immediately went to the top of the building, and their building would definitely be the target of the opponent's attack.
Mr. Wang ordered loudly: "Lao Wu, you take a squadron to Pier 45, Lao Liu, you take a squadron to take down the office building, and the rest of the people go to Pier 46 to seize the ship, quickly." ”
Lao Wu and Lao Liu were both squadron leaders of the Second Brigade of the Shang Group, and the two led people to the target in a fairly complete formation under the guidance of the people of the Pingbo Society, while Mr. Wang and Bo Ge led a squadron of more than 400 people from the First Brigade and the Second Brigade to the 46th Pier.
The people of Hanxing were scattered and hid in the dark, and when they heard the footsteps outside, they were all extremely nervous.
Decades later, in the best-selling book "Heroes of a Hundred Battles - Memoirs of a Veteran of the Republic Huang Shi", a veteran Huang Shi who experienced this night recorded his first battle in his life as follows:
"Before that night, I, like most of the other hundred or so brothers who went to war, had not even touched a gun. Hearing the dense footsteps outside, I hid in a container with three other brothers from the same group, and I didn't dare to come out. ”
"At that time, my mind was just recalling Fei Ge's order over and over again: you hide and don't move, and when you hear the gunshots outside, open the container door, lie on the ground, and then hit people when you see them, remember, don't go out, just hit them on your stomach."
"A few of us were standing by the door, all sweating profusely, when we heard a 'sudden' burst of gunfire outside (later we learned it was the sound of a heavy machine gun), and one of our brothers shouted in a low voice, 'There's a fight outside,' and we pulled the container door open."
"When I opened the door, shots rang out everywhere outside, and it seemed that our people were starting to do it. We quickly lay on the ground and shot out with submachine guns. The figures outside are in a mess, and I don't know how many, a few of us replaced them with new ones after hitting a magazine, and they exploded on the street, there were grenades, and there were ** explosions, and the screams outside, I will never forget them in my life. ”
"A few of us were lying there fighting, and the people from the merchant group didn't come to hit us, so I fired almost 500 rounds of ammunition alone, and we didn't stop shooting until we couldn't see anyone standing in our sight."
"According to Fei Ge's order, we still hid in the container, until we heard the people outside shouting 'Hanxing', and we replied 'mighty and domineering' before we walked out. Later, I learned that the four of us had killed more than 30 people from the merchant group, and one of us was given a second-class meritorious service. ”
William and Xie Niancheng, who were the commanders of the battle, saw the whole picture of the battle:
The formation of the people of the merchant group was well maintained, but the people of Hanxing were all ambushed in the dark, and the people of the merchant group rushed to the dock in a hurry, but they did not find it. By the time the top soldiers of the merchant group rushed to a place dozens of meters away from the ship, the main force of more than 300 people of the merchant group had already fallen into the firepower net arranged by William in advance.
At this time, a squadron of more than 100 people led by the squadron leader surnamed Liu of the merchant group was scattered in formation, and they were about to rush downstairs to the office building.
William, who was flying and jumping, seemed to be a different person, as if he was possessed by Mandrian, and pronounced a few German syllables sonorously and powerfully. The four heavy machine guns under the control of the German soldiers in civilian clothes opened fire at the maximum rate of fire, and Xie Niancheng and several people also began to rain bullets with submachine guns.
On a narrow frontage of less than ten meters, could a person dodge the strafing of four heavy machine guns and seven submachine guns?
The problem is easy to calculate: it is absolutely impossible.
Every second, someone was shot and fell, Captain Liu was in the middle of the team, and at the first time he lay down and shouted: "Get down, get down!" ”
Although the soldiers of the merchant group had undergone formal training, they had never been on a serious battlefield, and when they heard Captain Liu's order, most of them listened to the order and lay down, and a few began to turn around and run back.
The one lying on the ground began to raise his gun to shoot, but Xie Niancheng had already turned off all the lights in the area of the office building, and the diffuse shot of a single-shot rifle wanted to hit the people behind the sandbag fortifications, which was not much different from the probability of hitting a fly.
"Z-"
"Boom-"
As the high-explosive ** fell, one of them just killed Captain Liu, and the rest of the merchant soldiers immediately collapsed, most of them got up and ran back, most of them were bitten by bullets, and only a few were lucky enough to escape.
The sound of heavy machine gun fire in the office building is like the first firecracker that is almost 12 o'clock during the Chinese New Year every year, and the Hanxing brothers scattered in dozens of hidden places also fired the guns in their hands, and the fire of hundreds of submachine guns harvested their lives back and forth in Mr. Wang's brigade, and the people of the merchant group could only scatter and dodge.
In such an environment of close combat, the firepower of one submachine gun can be used as ten rifles, and the people of the merchant group are simply powerless to fight back.
Except for the squadron that attacked the office building, the worst thing was the squadron that rushed to the vicinity of the ship, that section was empty, there were lights, dozens of submachine guns on the ship opened fire together, and the people of this squadron completely became live targets, and most of them were lost in a single shot.
Mr. Wang has seen the world, and when he saw the "flower mechanism" used by the other party, he knew that something was wrong, and then heard the sound of heavy machine guns and mortars from the office building, Mr. Wang shouted: "Resist, resist!" "Command your men to prepare to find cover and resist.
The people of the merchant group were scurrying around, the heavy machine guns and mortar fire on the side of the office building came to this side, plus the people of Hanxing began to throw grenades, the people of the merchant group lost control, and in extreme fear, many people dropped their weapons, stood up and ran back in a daze, such people were quickly knocked down, and those who did not die began to scream loudly.
Fear soon began to spread, and almost all of the merchant soldiers fled back.
In this case, Mr. Wang's experience helped him, and he searched for a dead spot all the way and escaped from the fire ambush net around the pier.
There are now more than 100 soldiers from the merchant group, all shooting indiscriminately at the office building and the dock.
The heavy machine gun and mortar fire soon turned around from the area around the pier, and the people of the merchant group here were all hiding, and the heavy machine gun bullets were everywhere, but they didn't hit anyone, but the mortars were terrible, and as soon as the grenade of the 100-millimeter heavy mortar exploded, people around dozens of meters could be hit by shrapnel.
More than a dozen shells fell, and the soldiers on this side began to flee.
Mr. Wang saw that the general trend on the dock side had gone, and the firepower of the other party could be said to be dozens of times that of his side, and the location was advantageous, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, withdraw, withdraw." ”
As soon as this order was issued, the soldiers of the merchant group scattered in all directions, and many of them lost their guns, spread their legs and ran outside the port area.
Lao Wu's squadron, which had already occupied Pier 45, saw that this side was not good, and under the leadership of Lao Wu, they escaped from the port area in a structured manner.
Most of the soldiers of the merchant group are natives of Guangzhou, and they run home at night, who knows?
The Hanxing brothers who were hiding in the shadows went into battle for the first time, and when they saw that there were no standing people in their sight and no guns to shoot back, they all hid in the shadows and strictly implemented the military order.
William, who was on the roof of the office building, was slightly dissatisfied when he saw this: "Xie, if there is a force that can pursue at this time, those enemies will definitely surrender." ”
Xie Niancheng said: "It's useless for us to capture prisoners, and we waste food. ”
William shrugged, saw Lolita also go to the roof, and hurriedly went over: "My little princess, it's not safe here, what are you doing here." ”
Lolita chuckled and poked her little head out to look out, which made William nervous, so to put her in a position of absolute safety.
According to the agreement, the outermost reckless and water ghosts began to lead people to clean up the battlefield, shouting orders all the way.
"Hanxing!"
"Mighty and domineering"
Voices rang back and forth throughout the combat area.
The brothers gathered the bodies of the slain merchant soldiers into several large containers, and the wounded and the frightened and stunned.
After counting the numbers, the water ghost ran over and reported.
"Brother Cheng, there are two hundred and seventy-seven corpses and two hundred and forty-two captives."
Xie Niancheng nodded: "Let the prisoners who are not injured or lightly injured take away the seriously injured, and we will not leave anyone here." ”
The water ghost took the order and went.
Xie Niancheng called Zhang Chengyue and Lao Hei again: "You two, bring some people to search all the office buildings in the port area, and search carefully to see if there are any smuggled items." ”
The two glanced at each other and understood what Xie Niancheng meant, they can't fight all night in vain, right? Bringing the cash and valuable goods from the various dock office buildings should be able to give money for the ammunition consumed tonight, right?
Xie Niancheng reminded them: "You remember, we are the special anti-smuggling team of the Guangzhou Marine Police, tonight, the bandits ransacked the port area, and we are chasing the stolen goods of the bandits, understand?" ”
Zhang Chengyue said loudly: "Yes." "Give Xie Niancheng a military salute.
Lao Hei didn't know how to salute, but when he saw Zhang Chengyue saluting, he also learned to come to one.
"Okay, you guys go!"
Xie Niancheng ordered the ransacking of the port area because the faint sound of gunfire came from the distant city of Guangzhou, and the light of the fire illuminated half of the sky, and it seemed that there was also a fight in the city of Guangzhou.
According to Xie Niancheng's estimate, how could those businessmen in the merchant group be able to calculate the treacherous and cunning politicians of the Socialist Party? The collapse of the merchant group is inevitable, and if you don't take the money and goods at the wharf now, I'm sorry for myself!
In the next few hours, the people of Hanxing were even busier, and finally at dawn, the "munitions ship" was full, and the smiling water ghost took the helm with his own hands, and went away with these gains.
