Capturing and rescuing
The animals around the jungle had already been frightened away by the scattered gunfire on both sides, and only a little insect chirp was left, which could always remind Sun Gan and everyone that this was originally a forest full of life.
Suddenly, the spearhead who was at the forefront made a gesture to stop advancing, and Sun Qian had improved his sign language during battle, and the new tactical sign language allowed everyone to convey all kinds of information about the battlefield without making a sound. At the same time as the sharp soldiers reminded them, everyone quickly spread out to both sides, and quickly formed a small pocket formation according to the previous drill. Sun Qian went forward to the position of the top soldier to inquire about the specific situation.
Sun Qian asked the soldiers in a very small voice, "What's the situation?" “
The sharp soldier's ears were very sharp, and his eyes did not leave the front and whispered to Sun Qian, "Sir, the sound of insects in front of me has disappeared, and I heard footsteps, this is not the sound of us walking, there are quite a few people, it can't be locals." “
Sun Qian thought about it and made a gesture behind him to pay attention to concealment, and then lurked on the spot, if it was really the German reconnaissance unit, the assault battalion's mission today would have been completed ahead of schedule.
Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed that the judgment of the top soldiers was a little wrong, and just when the top soldiers themselves were about to doubt their judgment, Sun Qian finally appeared in front of them the figure of the German army. Through the fog, the figure of the German army began to slowly be exposed in front of Sun Gan's eyes, and he counted a team of exactly 30 people.
The camouflage on Sun Gan and the top soldiers was very good, although the Germans were very cautious, but no one paid attention to the two small grass piles not far from the roadside, and when the German team of two people responsible for the finishing appeared in the sight of Sun Qian and the soldiers, Sun Qian and the top soldiers finally moved.
When the soldiers in charge of the German guard faced the two clumps of grass that suddenly appeared, they were startled by Sun Qian and the others at the first time, and before the two of them could exclaim, they were pushed to the ground by Sun Qian and the others. The action went surprisingly smoothly, and the downed Germans only then thought about raising the alarm, but it was too late, and a knife blow made the two of them faint instantly. Sun Qian, who had tied their hands and feet, temporarily threw down the two German soldiers and quietly touched the Germans in front.
At this time, the Germans did not know that they had entered the encirclement of the assault battalion, and a group of people were still cautiously touching the Allied defense line.
Suddenly, two distinctive-sounding insect chirpings remembered that the Germans were quickly put down by the assault battalion soldiers who suddenly appeared, looking at the assault battalion soldiers with dark oil paint on their faces and wearing camouflage clothes covered with branches covered with fishing nets, the Germans did more than resist, but exclaimed, as if they had seen a wild man.
The smooth operation made Sun Gan feel caught off guard, and Sun Gan, who was in a good mood, directly ordered to return to the camp. He was also not proud, he knew that if he had been trained by the devil and could not deal with a small German reconnaissance unit, the assault battalion would be the product of failure.
Leaving Sun Xing to lead people to bring the previous two unlucky eggs back to the battalion, Sun Qian took the main force of the battalion headquarters and walked directly to the 28th regiment station.
The good mood disappeared again when Sun Qian arrived at the 28th regiment, and Sun Xing, who came back from behind, looked surprised, and hurriedly asked Sun Gan, saying, "Young master, what's wrong, what's going on?" “
Sun Qian frowned and said, "Brother Xing, we are careless, just thinking about touching the German battalion, forgetting that others can also touch our battalion." The officer who had just handed over to us told me that the Germans had another reconnaissance team, which was about the same number as the one we had encountered, and that the men of our 28th Regiment had also been tongue-scratched by the Germans. “
Sun Xing also had a big head after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he said to Sun Gan, "Young master, chase it." Otherwise, it's very likely that our plans for tomorrow will be exposed. “
Sun Qian was not entangled, and said to the few officers who had gathered, "Okay, let's set off in the form of a squad and try to expand the search area." I must get the men back before the Germans return to the defensive line. “
The soldiers of the assault battalion quickly divided into several groups according to the previous drill and walked towards the woods again.
The soldiers of the assault battalion have all learned the skills of identifying tracks in the field, although the dark sky and fog make the pursuit difficult, but this is difficult for the specially trained soldiers, and soon Sun Qian saw the soldiers of the 28th Regiment who had been chased out according to the previous imprint. After learning about the situation with these soldiers, Sun Qian directly incorporated these American troops into the assault camp, otherwise Sun Qian was afraid that these soldiers would chase after them like headless flies and finally put himself in.
Although they do not yet have the concept of special operations, their words and deeds are tactical actions of special tactics, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for these American soldiers.
A broken branch, a patch of fallen grass, and even a stain on the side of the road that was so small that it shouldn't have appeared all pointed the assault battalion in the right direction. When half an hour had passed, Sun Gan and a group of people had been not far from the German defense line, and finally found the figure of the German army in front.
While Sun Gan asked a few of his team members to go to the other groups, he himself led people and began to quickly intersperse the two flanks of the German army, while the soldiers of the 28th Regiment were left behind.
It may be that they are going to return to their own side of the defensive line, the German soldiers are relaxed, plus they think that they have thrown off the pursuing American troops behind them, the pace of the German soldiers is not obviously fast, and the captured American soldiers seem to have been appointed not to resist, which makes the commander of this German squad also relaxed, and he does not continue to scold his soldiers to go quickly.
Taking advantage of the relaxation of the German army, Sun Qian made a quick detour to the flank of the German army, although the number was insufficient, but the soldiers of the assault battalion were not afraid, they only wanted to save their comrades now.
When the Germans were still a few hundred meters away from their own defensive line, soldiers from other directions of the assault battalion also rushed over, and there was no room for any more tactical arrangements, and the soldiers of the assault battalion, who were scattered in tactical formation, instinctively launched an attack on the German squad. As for Sun Gan's team, since they hadn't heard the gunshots before, they weren't worried.
Soon the assault battalion pressed up from the rear was discovered by the German squad, and the two sides quickly fought across a ridge of earth, and the direction of the German line sent out reinforcements as soon as the gunfire was heard.
The might of the assault battalion was on display at this time, and almost at the same time, all the German firepower points that were rising were suppressed by the accurate marksmanship of the assault battalion soldiers, and the artillery did not dare to open fire at will because it was dark and the two sides were too close. The German squad, which was overwhelmed by the assault battalion's precise and heavy firepower, was quickly beaten by the assault battalion and was powerless.
Sun Gan took advantage of the opportunity that the Germans had no time to take care of it for a while, and soon the captured comrades-in-arms were brought back by the commandos. And the direction of the German army did not dare to pursue easily, many people were frightened by the accurate fire of the assault battalion, looking at the remains of their comrades everywhere, the Germans knew that this time they had hit a hard stubble.
Soon Sun Qian returned to the US defense line with the assault battalion, looking at the rescued comrades and the unharmed commandos, all the US troops began to identify with this unit, and the strong combat power of the assault battalion allowed them to gain a foothold in the 28th regiment.
