Chapter 858: Blocking
"The men of the third platoon were responsible for escorting the brothers away, and the others, all of whom were on guard in front, saw the enemy and immediately opened fire. The people of the second shift, there are a few trucks in the prison, try to see if they can drive out. Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly at everyone.
The team got into action, quickly organized their formation, and began to prepare to leave the place.
The men of the second shift received the order, and they all rushed into the prison, and soon found several cars.
However, some of the vehicles were either hit by the engine or had their tires damaged in the previous firefight. Now I need to evacuate quickly, and I don't have that much time to repair myself, so only those vehicles that have escaped the disaster can be used.
The soldiers on guard outside stopped on the streets on the left and right, guarding all the roads leading to the place. Once an enemy comes, even if you can't fight it, you can at least get information in advance and won't be caught off guard.
Besides, there is still the cover of helicopter gunships in the sky, and in terms of reconnaissance, there should be no problems.
One by one, the trucks drove out and stopped on the road, and the prisoners of war who were helped to both sides stood up with the help of the soldiers, boarded the trucks one by one, and sat inside.
All of them breathed a sigh of relief. This truck, which will no longer send itself to an unknown place, is a vehicle to go home.
Three cars barely loaded the POW soldiers, and the rest of the people either chose to run on the road or got into the other two trucks. All the fighters also gathered around the truck. Spread out the formation and start walking towards the way back.
"Special team, the Falcon reconnaissance mission is complete, and we need to support other directions, good luck."
"Special Team Receive, Falcon, good luck."
The gunship circled in the sky, and then flew quickly towards the battlefield on the other side.
"We don't have an air alert for the time being, everyone pay attention to the surrounding situation and don't relax!" Zhang Tianhai shouted.
In fact, this time is for Zhang Tianhai and them. is the most dangerous. They came in as fast as they could. So on the road, it didn't attract too many people's attention. But now, he needs to drive the trucks himself, and in order not to leave the soldiers too far behind. The speed of the truck should not be too fast either. So. The speed of the procession was not as fast as it had been.
And now he is already exposed on a certain distance, on the way back. You may run into enemies who are specifically targeting you. As you can imagine, the way back will definitely not be very peaceful.
It didn't take long for Zhang Tianhai's idea to come true.
The convoy quickly passed through an intersection. Just as the middle of the convoy had just entered this intersection, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared on the road on the left, and when they saw themselves, they immediately chose to shoot.
The enemy also emerged from the crossroads. Since the town here is not large, the distance between the fork and the fork is not too far, and the enemy's position is about one or two hundred meters away from everyone, and this distance has already entered the range of rifle fire.
These enemies seemed to be prepared, so as soon as they saw themselves, they immediately opened fire. The bullets that suddenly flew over hit some soldiers next to the convoy at the first time, and the blood spilled on the trucks behind them, and the people fell directly to the ground. Part of the bullets directly penetrated the outer guardrail of the truck, hitting the captured soldiers inside, and also caused some damage.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldier immediately shouted, then quickly ducked in either direction and began to exchange fire.
The truck didn't dare to stop in the middle of the road like this, and drove over quickly, or went backwards, giving way to the dangerous place of the intersection, and then the soldiers on the truck jumped down, leaned on the surrounding concealment, and began to exchange fire.
"Speed to get rid of this group of enemies, we can't stay here for too long!" Zhang Tianhai shouted.
The enemy tried to get closer to the convoy, but the soldiers who formed a special team belonged to the elite troops, although the number was small, but all of them were good in the army, at least in the marksmanship, no one failed.
Even after a gap of one or two hundred meters, and it was a hasty response, everyone's cousins did not panic, found cover, and then launched a counterattack.
The firepower of this counterattack was naturally the most fierce at the beginning, and the Japanese troops who tried to approach were suppressed at the first time. Some soldiers who were unable to deploy due to the terrain also took this opportunity to enter the streets, and hid in the vehicles or shops on the road, forming a ladder formation to confront the Japanese army.
In the rear, several soldiers also jumped into the truck and began to count the casualties, and then it was time to deal with the wounded.
The first wave of attack firepower caused three deaths to the prisoners of war soldiers, and two others were injured at the same time, but the injuries were not severe, and after the bleeding stopped, the injuries would not be fatal, as long as they could return to the rear smoothly, this kind of injuries could naturally be treated.
The exchange of fire between the two sides began to heat up at the first moment, and the gunfire was incessant. But the exchange of fire was confined to one street, and neither side had much room to dodge and move, so from time to time someone would be shot and fall to the ground.
The number of casualties on both sides has also been increasing, but this situation is even more unfavorable to Zhang Tianhai and them. The reason is also very simple, their number is not as large as that of the other party.
The formation that the opponent is now deploying is stronger than his own firepower, and there are obviously soldiers behind him who have not been able to get the space to fire, and with them, the number of troops will be even more.
There was no way, Zhang Tianhai immediately began to call: "This is a special team, ask for air fire support!" β
Almost as soon as Zhang Tianhai's voice fell, someone on the radio answered: "Flying Eagle received it, and it will enter the battlefield in twenty seconds." β
"Resist it!" Zhang Tianhai shouted as he raised his head and began to fire.
Yang Hao was lying behind a pile of sandbags at this time. A bullet hit the sandbag, and the sand inside kept flying out, but it failed to penetrate the sandbag, so Yang Hao hid in this place, which was relatively safe.
It's just that there are more bullets flying towards his place, and the sound of the bullets hitting the sandbag has not been broken at all, so Yang Hao doesn't dare to raise his head to fight back, so he can only hide here with the gun to ensure that he is not hit by the bullet.
There were also some other shops that were attacked in front of the pΓΉ by this kind of fire, and the people who enjoyed this kind of fire were either soldiers with excellent marksmanship or machine gunners. Both types of soldiers were capable of greatly suppressing the firepower of the Japanese troops, thus attracting more firepower.
At this time, many people were suppressed and did not dare to move at all, and even two soldiers were directly killed and lay on the street.
"Nourish...... The Eagle arrives on the battlefield and prepares to join the battle. β
There was a burst of reports over the radio. In the next second, a loud noise from the propeller appeared over the street.
A helicopter gunship flew sideways from the side of the street and stopped in the middle of the street. Glancing downward, the next moment, the gungun's mounted cannon opened fire.
This is not the firepower of ordinary firearms, the bullets of the guns did not penetrate the concrete buildings and the vehicles in the middle of the streets, under the cannon bullets, these things seemed to turn into paper paste, swept by the bullets, and immediately turned into fragments.
Some of the vehicles were swept away, the glass around them shattered instantly, and then the bullets hit the engine and fuel tank, and in an instant, the cars exploded and turned into a pile of burning scrap metal. Sandbags, walls, etc., could not stop this fire, and were completely smashed to pieces.
Not even iron can block cannon bullets, let alone people. There were a lot of soldiers hidden in the sandbags below, behind the brick walls, and in some shops, but these bunkers in front of them had no defense at all at this time, and they were directly penetrated by bullets and hit their bodies.
A barrage of screams emerged from the place. What followed was a massacre.
This group of soldiers was specially designed to target the special team, but they did not carry anti-aircraft weapons, so under the fire of the helicopters, they could do nothing but escape.
Helicopters are known as the natural enemies of the infantry, and this claim is not unfounded. In the absence of anti-aircraft weapons, helicopters move very fast, even if the infantry wants to escape, it is very difficult, and helicopters are more flexible than fixed-wing fighters in a small area of the battlefield, firepower can cover all nearby places, and the helicopter is also armored, although this armor is not as thick as a tank, but it is not a rifle level of weapons can penetrate it.
What's more, what is now appearing is a helicopter gunship, with thicker armor, stronger firepower, and more suppressive power, needless to say.
And the helicopter pilot did not show the slightest mercy, the cannon swept for a while, and then began to use missiles. Helicopters have a nest of bombs, and the missiles in them carry more, and this powerful weapon is more effective than a cannon. Within a minute, the approaching Japanese troops began to break up, and they had no choice but to retreat and leave the battlefield.
"Don't chase, speed gather, we're gone!"
Solving these current enemies, Zhang Tianhai did not directly pursue the past. His mission is not to clean up this place, but to rescue prisoners of war, which Zhang Tianhai has never forgotten. Now that he is operating with more than 50 Chinese prisoners of war, it is particularly dangerous to be in this chaotic battlefield, and if he still wants to fight like a regular army, he will be annihilated here sooner or later.
