Chapter 15: Red Sleeves
Vincent stood on a hillside and looked at the building in front of him with a telescope.
It's a big prison, and it's where gunpowder was almost captured, and there is no electricity in the prison, but it's lit with torches everywhere. The ten-meter-high fence is covered with barbed wire, which is why the prison has survived with more than 3,000 people.
Just last night, the people inside secretly went out of the city to carry out a sneak attack, but they were beaten back by the scorpion's elite soldiers, and neither side took any advantage. However, judging from last night's battle, although the troops inside are small, they are all professional soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not much worse than the elite under the Scorpion. This is also the reason why gunpowder will be defeated, the comparison of forces on both sides itself suffers, and the other side defends according to the danger, and the quality of the soldiers is about the same, no wonder the gunpowder that is a little light on the enemy has failed miserably.
Vincent handed the telescope to the scorpion and said, "Rest well tonight, and attack the city early tomorrow morning." ”
At this moment, the gunpowder behind him suddenly jumped up like a cheetah that was predatoring, and pressed Vincent to the ground. It wasn't until Vincent fell to the ground that he heard a muffled "bang", which was the sound of a sniper rifle.
"Phew." Vincent spat out a mouthful of dirt splashed in his mouth, and slowly crawled down the hill, at this time, the SS snipers who followed Vinson also fired back, and the frightened Vinson scolded angrily: "Don't fight, what to fight, they will suffer when the day dawns." With that, he slowly got up, patted Gunpowder's shoulder and said, "Thanks, buddy, I owe you once." ”
Gunpowder's mood was clearly not yet recovered, he just smiled at Vincent and stopped talking.
There was no word all night, and with the sound of the loud military trumpet, groups of soldiers drove out of the barracks.
At the front were the positions of the artillery regiments, and in the fortifications dug yesterday at night were placed large-caliber howitzers, and on both sides of the artillery camp were tank positions, and at the rear were infantry positions. In order to prevent possible artillery shelling from the other side, the positions were scattered, and although there were only 5,000 people, a semicircular line 1 kilometer long and 500 meters wide was formed, enclosing half of the prison.
Since the troops led by Vincent arrived at night, although the other party knew that gunpowder and they were coming to reinforce the army, they did not expect that the scale of the reinforcements would be so huge, especially such a huge front, and from a distance, there were at least tens of thousands of troops. Through the binoculars, Vincent could clearly see the commotion on the walls of the prison.
"Hmph," Vincent sneered and put down the binoculars, and coldly ordered, "Open the gun." ”
"Boom-boom-boom." 80 howitzer carriers fired high-explosive shells at the same time, and each shell blew a large hole in the outer wall, bricks and tiles flew and smoke billowed from the gunpowder. The soldiers on the wall quickly withdrew under the wall in fear, but where could their legs compare to the speed of the shells? Each shell that landed on the wall killed four or five people, and many more were blown to pieces, holding the wounded who were screaming at the top of the wall with severed limbs.
The shelling lasted for five minutes, and when the shelling stopped, half of the outer walls of the prison collapsed, like a girl stripped of her coat, naked and waiting for a group of bandits to ravage.
Suddenly, the gate on the other side of the prison opened, and a group of more than 500 refugees ran out of it, ready to escape from the unsurrounded side. However, at this time, more than a dozen helicopter gunships slowly stretched out from behind the hill completely dispelled their attempt to escape, and they turned around and went into the prison again.
Vincent picked up a megaphone and shouted, "Who's the leader inside?" When they came out to talk to me, my patience was limited, and I couldn't see anyone for 3 minutes, so I let the helicopter launch the missile. ”
In less than a minute, a woman came out of the ruins of the wall that had been blown up by artillery fire, although it was a cold day, but she was wearing a bright red dress and pants made of silk, and a face towel around her face.
I saw her carrying a megaphone and putting it on her lips, and her crisp and pleasant voice like a yellow warbler floated faintly from a distance of hundreds of meters: "I am the leader of this settlement, Red Sleeves, who are you?" Why do you invade my homeland and kill my people? ”
Vincent turned around and walked into the battle tent, sat on a chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and after taking a sip of hot black tea, he picked up the megaphone and said casually: "Red sleeves? You come to me and say, I'm tired of standing so far away. Of course, you can refuse, but if I can't see you in 5 minutes, I'll launch an airstrike. ”
Vincent sat there, not at all worried that she would not come, and from the tone in which she spoke, he could feel that she was a woman who cherished her people very much, and that she would not be willful with the lives of her own people.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the woman who claimed to be called Red Sleeves stood in front of Vincent. She was followed by a woman with a delicate face with a hint of charm and a tall and muscular man, obviously worried that she would go deep into the enemy camp alone.
Vincent ignored the two henchmen behind her, looked at the face of the red sleeves that was completely covered by the face towel, frowned, and said, "Take off the face towel." ”
Listening to Vincent's unreasonable demand, the woman and the muscular man behind Red Sleeves were immediately angry and wanted to teach Vincent a lesson, but the black muzzles raised by more than a dozen SS soldiers in the tent made them quickly calm down.
Red Sleeves looked at the dozen or so muzzles of their guns with a "bang", and calmly said to the two attendants behind him: "Don't get excited, we are here to negotiate." ”
Hearing her voice up close made Vincent's heart, which had gradually become cold, couldn't help but pound, this voice could be said to be the best sound Vincent had ever heard, very sweet, sweet and greasy, very crisp, like the chirping of a yellow warbler in the mountains.
She slowly took off the face towel on her face, and a pure and refined face was reflected in Vincent's eyes, this is a peerless face that is completely comparable to He Yuqian and Bailey at the beginning, different from He Yuqian's innocence and Bailey's delicacy, this is a very sweet, very cute baby face, just like a doll with makeup.
She frowned slightly, and her cute little face was flushed, showing that she was not shy, but angry. Of course, this way of getting angry may be liked by all men. She huffed and said, "Why are you bringing so many troops to invade my homeland? Just because one of my men defeated one of your generals? But we didn't kill any of you, at most we wounded them, it was just a warning, we don't want to start a war, but why do you want to kill my people? ”
As she spoke, she raised her little fist to fully express her anger.
