Chapter 520: Becoming Honest
Although everyone is a company commander, the ranks look the same. But because Xu Yunsheng is the commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the regiment, and even his name is registered with the sixth young master, in comparison, the company commander of Chunyang's main company is half a cut shorter.
Because of this, Chunyang mostly speaks in a consultative tone. "Company Commander Xu, take a look at it, should we first control the East City Gate, and then capture the Jiaozhi General's Mansion in the city with a swift momentum?"
"I think so." After a little silence, Xu Yunsheng nodded, and then added, "The east city gate and the general's mansion in the city will be handed over to your company, and I will take the reconnaissance company to control the north, west, and south city gates, and strive to completely control the entire city in the shortest possible time." ”
Chunyang waited for this, and said to Xu Yunsheng with a grateful face: "Thank you Company Commander Xu so much." ”
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite, we're all on a mission." Xu Yunsheng smiled softly, and then said in a low voice, "The city gate is open." ”
The eastern gate of Yinglou City was indeed opened. After the commander rode to the city to tell the powerful relationship, the five thousand Lancang soldiers in the city finally decided to go out of the city to help. Speaking of which, they are all members of the old hearing clan, and many soldiers are related by blood, and they will never watch their relatives trapped and die without help.
The line of 5,000 men was a long slip in the dark. It took more than half an hour from the time they left the city until they all walked out of the city. When the last group of Lancang soldiers walked out of the city gate, more than a dozen Jiaozhi soldiers who were responsible for the security here were ready to close the city gate.
It's just that these people don't know that their lives have already begun to count down, and when they pushed the city gate hard to close, more than a dozen black shadows jumped out behind them, as if out of thin air, and then the cold light flashed, and a dozen voices slowly fell to the ground under the blood soaring.
The scouts took action, and with their early preparations, they quickly dealt with the cross-toes who closed the gates. Then, the elites of the two companies rushed from the east gate to the key positions in the city.
No one would have thought that the mercenaries would attack the city at night. Most of the 2,000 Cochin troops in the city have also taken off their uniforms in the barracks and are preparing to rest. But then there were several gunshots outside.
"There is a situation." The gunfire startled these Jiaozhi soldiers, who were in a hurry to get dressed one by one, and then each took a sword, gun, shield, halberd and other weapons and wanted to rush out of the barracks.
There are those who run fast and become the first soldiers to walk out of the barracks. There were many people in the darkness, and then torches were lit, but before the night could be illuminated, a very rapid sound of gunfire was heard.
This is exactly the sound of the squad strafing with machine guns. This kind of gun squad, which can shoot 600 rounds of ammunition in one minute, seems to be an artifact in this era. Once it is taken out, it will definitely be a big killing, and it is difficult to have an opponent.
A burst of gunfire rang out, and the first dozens of Jiaozhi soldiers who rushed out of the camp fell in a pool of blood. Even when they die, they don't understand what happened.
These dozens of Jiaozhi soldiers who died are like role models
The general fell there, which discouraged the Jiaozhi soldiers who wanted to rush out later. They were all frightened by the scene in front of them, and this fear made them lose the courage to rush out of the camp and not even the strength to light torches.
There were at least 1,500 Jiaozhi soldiers in the barracks. When they were scared out of the camp, things were much easier outside. In addition to the two cold front platoons that stayed outside the camp, a company of Changchun Yang rushed straight towards the general's mansion in the city with the remaining platoon of soldiers.
The gunfire outside made the gate of the General's Mansion close from the inside, and the sound of General Yinglou shouting against the gate was coming from the courtyard to the outside.
It's just that this closed door is not much different from the paper paste in Leng Feng's eyes, and he saw that a company of Changchun Yang reached out and carried the bazooka from the hand of a soldier, and then there was a loud "boom", and the closed door was completely blown open.
The cross-toe soldiers, who were holding their bodies against the gate, flew upside down, and several of them had closed their eyes and were not breathing as they flew back.
"Rush." After the door was blasted open, Chunyang's big hand pointed forward, and the heroic cold fronts rushed in, just a burst of gunshots that were not hurried, and in less than a cup of tea, the general's mansion was captured, and the general of Yinglou also fell to the ground as a corpse.
If the General's Mansion was opened by a brute force, then the Jiaozhi soldiers on the three towers of the west, south, and north were subdued by roll call.
A soldier who can become a scout is not only of high quality, but also of first-class observation. The training has taught them what it means to defend themselves and fight the enemy at the same time, so they understand the preciousness of life even more.
When Company Commander Xu Yunsheng gave the order to the platoon commanders of the three platoons below to attack freely, they actually chose the same way, that is, not to attack the city tower, but to occupy the city gate.
If you don't attack the tower, you don't want to risk yourself, or you don't need to take risks. All they were given was to take control of the three gates, and even if that was the case, they only needed to prevent the Jiaozhi soldiers on the tower from going down. So when they came to the bottom of the tower, the cochin soldiers with torches became their targets.
Often, a gunshot is accompanied by a figure falling to the ground.
After more than a dozen cochin soldiers with torches were killed in a row, the other cochin soldiers also learned to behave, they extinguished the torches in their hands one after another, and found a corner to hide.
The mercenaries are so powerful that they have completely frightened them. At this moment, Mo said that he rushed down the city tower, but he didn't have the courage to stand up and inspect the situation. The three gates simply fell into the hands of the reconnaissance company.
With the four city gates, the general's mansion and the military camp under control, Leng Feng's first company and reconnaissance company basically completed the control of the entire Yinglou City. And the 5,000 Lancang reinforcements, who were completely unaware of all this, were still desperately hurrying.
As they got farther away from Win Lou City, and as they got closer and closer to the place where General Lati was ambushed, the sporadic and crisp sound of gunfire finally reached their ears.
"Quick, it's just ahead." The commander who reported the news pointed to the battlefield two or three miles away and shouted loudly.
"Enemy reinforcements are coming." In the dense forest, Chen Bo, the commander of the second battalion, saw this scene in his eyes with the help of night vision binoculars, and said to the messenger beside him: "Inform the second company to let go of an opening and let these people in." Tell them that they are allowed to enter but not to go out, and if they escape, I will turn around and punish him. ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander." The correspondent said yes, then turned and ran out. After a while, after the second company cooperated with the opening of the opening, five thousand Lancang soldiers rushed into the encirclement, and at the same time stepped into the ghost gate.
"Why is it so quiet?" As soon as they entered the place, the five thousand reinforcements felt a sense of horror spread throughout their bodies. It is said that there are nearly 100,000 Lancang troops here, and even 100,000 pigs cannot be killed in such a short period of time, not to mention the thoughtful, young and strong soldiers?
Such thoughts just flashed through their minds, and reality told them the answer. Behind him, a dense burst of gunfire rang out on the left and right, respectively, and the five thousand reinforcements that became the target became the center of the battlefield at this moment, becoming the dumping point of bullets.
The original Lancang soldiers already had experience after many people died, that is, they could sit and never stand, and if they could lie on their stomachs, they would never sit. Therefore, when suddenly there is a fire on the battlefield with five thousand targets, it is already obvious what will happen.
There was no need to aim too much, after all, the target of the five thousand people standing there was too obvious, and the gunfire was already in one piece.
"Put out the torch and get on the ground." The captain who was already lying on the ground and dressed as an ostrich saw that his brother had died in at least hundreds of people in a short period of time, and he finally couldn't help but cry out loudly while regretting in his heart.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately after getting up and shouting, he immediately fell back on the ground, and a bullet whistled over his head. Frightened, he was already lying on the ground, his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he took a step slower.
This shout still has an effect in the end. Some of the soldiers heard it anyway, and then threw away the torches and lay on the ground, although the bullets were still whistling overhead, but they were no longer threatening his life.
Five thousand reinforcements, quiet after hundreds of dead. The battlefield was silent again. By this time, no one wanted to challenge or test anything, and they all fell to the ground honestly, letting the rain wet their whole bodies.
Fortunately, it's only August weather, and even at night it's not very cold, otherwise I can't imagine what it would be like to lie on my stomach all night like this.
"Battalion commander, they've all become honest." A cold front soldier who was very close to Chen Bo looked at the scene in front of him and said with excitement and excitement.
Before, when I learned that I had to deal with these 100,000 Lancang soldiers alone, it was impossible to say that the soldiers of the second battalion did not play drums in their hearts. Although it is true that they have the most advanced musket in the world, after all, the gap in numbers is still too large. Even with 10,000 Cochin mercenaries coming to help, most of the warriors still did not have the confidence to leave the enemy behind.
