Chapter 662: Istanbul Crisis (4)
Second Lieutenant Seidson turned his face and said suspiciously: "They have fought so bravely, they have fulfilled their duty, and it is not shameful to surrender, after all, when the battle situation is irreparable, saving life is the most important thing." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Rand shook his head and said, "That's just our thoughts, for the Chinese, faith and honor are above all else, and life is only secondary." In order to maintain the honor of the soldiers, they can choose death without hesitation, and I think this is also the fundamental reason why we can't defeat the Chinese Imperial Army. ”
Wu Jun walked over and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Rand knows us very well, have you lived in the Chinese Empire?" ”
Lieutenant Colonel Rand nodded: "I have lived in the Chinese Empire for a while, and I know you well. ”
Wu Jun smiled: "Yes, but there is one more thing you didn't say." That is, we have absolute confidence in our brothers, and since they said that reinforcements will come, they will definitely come, and we will hold out to the last man. ”
As soon as Wu Jun's words fell, the dense gunfire accompanied by the explosion of grenades and mortar shells rang out in the streets, and there was a little confusion in the charging Nantes army. Wu Jun listened to the explosion outside and smiled: "Listen, our reinforcements should have arrived, and when Lieutenant Colonel Rand arrives at the headquarters of our army, I hope you will cooperate." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Rand looked at Wu Jun coldly and said, "I won't say anything, you guys should die." ”
Wu Junzong said: "I don't care about this, our army headquarters has special torture personnel, this is something they should worry about, but I think before questioning, they will definitely ask you to squat in the water prison for two days." ”
"What is the water dungeon?" Ensign Seidson, who had never heard of such a penal code, asked strangely.
Wu Jun pretended to be relaxed and said, "Water prison? It's a small, dark and claustrophobic space, it's so low that you can't stand up straight, and the water in it will flood your chin, so you can't sit down, because then you'll be drowned, so you can only stay in a half-crouching position. ”
Hearing Wu Jun's description of the water prison, Lieutenant Colonel Rand and the two shivered together, they had really never seen such a terrible criminal law.
Second Lieutenant Seidson said in a slightly trembling voice: "I protest, you are abusing the prisoners. ”
Wu Jun smiled: "Until you explain the problem clearly, you don't have any rights, and we won't recognize you as prisoners." ”
Qian Shuhong walked over and said, "Old Wu, it looks like the friendly army is coming, what should we do?" ”
Wu Jun said: "Tell the soldiers to prepare to rush out, you take someone to take charge of the prisoners personally, and you can't throw them away." Qian Shuhong nodded and went to arrange manpower.
After occupying that commanding height, the soldiers of the 1019th Division condescendingly shot at the Axis soldiers, killing them in large numbers, and finally killing the Axis soldiers so that they did not dare to stand on the streets.
Seeing the opposing reinforcements approaching, the Axis forces immediately divided some of their forces to stop the attack, and also sent troops to recapture the high ground, but they were quickly killed by superior firepower. In defensive warfare, the Chinese Empire was equipped with fierce automatic rifles, each of which was like a machine gun, which was not at all comparable to the German-made Garand semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the Axis forces, and in the engagement, the Axis soldiers suffered greatly in small arms firepower.
Just when the Axis army tried its best to reach the reinforcements of the 1019 Division, the Wu army launched a counterattack with the remaining more than 100 soldiers, and the Axis troops who were attacked on both sides were suddenly a little panicked, seeing that the east had gradually turned white, the commander of the 1019 Division knew that it could not be delayed for too long, and when the opposing air force was dispatched at dawn, they would suffer heavy losses, so he immediately threw all his troops into the attack with all his might.
Under the fierce onslaught of the Wehrmacht, the Axis forces had to choose to retreat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu's army rushed out of the compound and joined the 1019th Division. By this time it was dawn, and they immediately retreated towards their positions.
Marshal de Gaulle was furious when he learned of the robbery of Lieutenant Colonel Rand, and he immediately ordered the air force to attack, even if Lieutenant Colonel Rand was killed, he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of NATO allies. A large number of air force planes roared up, and more than 30 B25 bombers entered the city at a low altitude and pursued in the direction of the retreat of the 1019th Division.
"Yes, the enemy is going to die." Wu Jun's face changed greatly when he saw the roaring bombers, and he knew that this was because the Axis military saw that there was no hope of retrieving Lieutenant Colonel Rand, and planned to kill it to prevent the battle plan from being leaked.
"Radar locks, fire." A powerful order came, and in the ruins in front of them suddenly appeared some infantrymen, each of them carrying a large tube similar to a bazooka, and a large bulge at the front end of the tube near the head, and these people were holding a small number of Red Star 1 individual anti-aircraft missiles equipped with troops.
Facing the oncoming enemy bombers, these fighters quickly locked onto the target, and directly behind the tubes, a puff of white smoke erupted, and one after another anti-aircraft missiles rose into the air and swooped down on the Axis bombers.
"What are those things?" The bomber pilot who was piloting the plane exclaimed, and before he could make the necessary reaction, a missile flying at high subsonic speed had already hit his plane. A violent explosion sounded from the middle of the plane, and the small amount of high explosive in the missile exploded in the bomber's bomb bay, detonating a nearby aerial bomb. The massive B25 bomber was blown to pieces directly in the volley, and the pilot was burned to char before he could parachute.
With the response of the anti-aircraft missile unit, the soldiers of the 1019th Division, together with the battalion where Wu Jun was located and the prisoners, quickly returned to their own defense line, and the Axis troops were helpless.
"Seven blocks were recaptured overnight, and with a few more of them, we would be able to drive the Axis forces out of the city completely." Kemal looked at the combat report and said excitedly.
Li Guojun shook his head and said: "With yesterday's lesson, De Gaulle will be prepared, and it is impossible to have such a big result." I have called you here today, not to discuss with you the next plan of attack, but rather to ask you to persuade Abdul II to withdraw immediately across the strait. ”
"Why? Didn't we play well? "There's something strange about Kemal.
Li Guojun sighed and said: "We have captured an important figure on the Axis side, he is the executive staff officer of the Axis Group Joint Command, and he knows all the next battle plans of the other side. Although their plans may have changed due to the capture of this staff officer, the large army and supplies are already in place, and too much change is impossible, and even if they do not change the plan, we will not be able to resist it with our current strength. ”
