Chapter 704: Blocked
There was a dull sound on the ground, obviously not the sound of hitting the ground, and the captain of the special operations brigade immediately gestured to the soldiers to be on alert, just in case, and the soldiers pointed their guns in a direction that they could not see.
"Who?"
In the darkness of the night, it was clear that the sound was coming from underground.
After some communication, a wooden board on the ground opened from the inside, revealing a little light from the dark hole, and the soldiers stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in, only to see four or five half-year-old children crowded around the hole.
"This is my home!" The old man turned to the warrior behind him.
"Put away all the guns, you go down with me, and the rest of the people are on guard outside!"
It's not a bomb shelter, it's just a cellar, and after the explosion, there's no way to notice that there's a cellar here. If a shell falls on top of the cellar, it is estimated that no one in the cellar will be able to leave alive. I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate that they're hiding here.
Descending from the ladder, the captain of the special operations brigade found that the entire cellar was very crowded, not because the cellar was not large enough, but because the cellar was crowded with people, including old people and children, as well as soldiers of the New 33rd Army, all of whom were wounded.
He watched all this in shock, he didn't expect this to become their Garden of Eden in Datong.
"How many people are there?" The captain of the special operations brigade couldn't help but ask the old man.
"I haven't counted the number of people, I can save one by one, as the number of people increases, I have run out of food and drink here, otherwise I wouldn't have risked going out to find you! Let him explain the rest to you, you should know each other! ”
After walking a few steps forward, a wounded soldier got up on crutches and saluted the captain of the special operations brigade: "The commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 771st Division of the New 33rd Army reports to the commander!" ”
The captain of the special operations brigade hurriedly returned the salute, but he did not identify himself to him: "How did you get here?" ”
"These things are a long story, you come with me, and I will take you to meet someone!"
The commander of the reconnaissance battalion limped and led them further into the cellar, and stretched out from the cellar and saw a simple bed, which was a bed built with a door panel. There was a man lying on the bed covered in bandages.
However, the captain of the special operations brigade recognized at a glance who this person was, because they were all too familiar with this person.
"Brigadier Commander! Brigadier, how are you? The captain of the special operations brigade lay on the edge of the bed and looked at Huang Changsheng who was lying motionless on the bed, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
"Don't shout, Brigade Commander Huang doesn't have any consciousness now!"
The captain of the special operations brigade got up and looked at the battalion commander: "How can this be?" ”
"I don't know about this, when I arrived here, Brigade Commander Huang was already like this, I heard a few wounded soldiers over there say that Brigade Commander Huang climbed here, and the old man found it when he went out to look for food, and when he brought it in, he had lost too much blood and was in a coma! We can't help it, there are all little devils outside, so we can only place Brigade Commander Huang like this. ”
The captain of the special operations brigade was at a loss, and the brigade commander they were looking for turned out to be like this at this time, and he lost any attention for a while.
The commander of the reconnaissance battalion stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's no longer suitable to hide here, the old man risked his life every night to go out and take pictures for the sake of us people and those children!" ”
A few days ago, they ate everything they were already able to eat, and they all relied on the old man to go out and bring them back to eat, and the old man's kindness to them was the grace of recreation, and they could not repay it. Neither of them could bear to see the old man die for their last life, so after discussing it, they decided to venture out to find their troops.
And a few days ago, they heard a dense gunfire ringing in the vicinity, guessing that there might be their troops nearby, no matter what, it was better than sitting here and waiting for death, so they decided to take a risk, but they didn't expect to really run into the soldiers of the special operations brigade to find Huang Changsheng.
Huang Changsheng's injuries are getting worse and worse due to the lack of medical treatment, and if he continues to stay here, I'm afraid Huang Changsheng won't live long, and there are so many children.
After thinking about it for a while, they decided to break through, but this is not a trivial matter, the wounded plus the elderly and children, this is a big burden for the special operations brigade, and the soldiers in the cellar are already out of combat capability, and to carry these wounded and transferred, it is inevitable that the soldiers of the special operations brigade will take care of them, which weakens the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade.
"We are at least seven streets away from the control area of Division Commander Liu, this distance is not close!" The captain of the special operations brigade suddenly had so many burdens, and his heart was very heavy, and he had no good plans at all.
The commander of the reconnaissance battalion did not speak, he knew that Qitiao Street looked very close in peacetime, but in this ruins were all Japanese soldiers, and there were even Japanese snipers lurking, if they were not found in time, a little devil was very likely to block them, and then the Japanese army took the opportunity to call for artillery support, if they wanted to get out alive, I am afraid that only the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva would bless them together.
"Captain, we can use signal flares to ask for support from Senior Commander Liu! If Master Liu can see the signal, at least we can fight for two streets, so that our pressure will be reduced a lot! Said the soldier of the special operations brigade.
"Can Master Liu determine the direction of progress?" The commander of the reconnaissance battalion asked.
Even if Liu Chundao found the signal flare, but the battle line is so long, where should he pick them up? If the direction of the connection goes wrong, it can be the difference between life and death.
Hearing the question of the reconnaissance battalion commander, the cellar instantly fell silent. When they came out, they didn't greet Liu Chundao, and they didn't expect that so many people would evacuate with them, and Liu Chundao didn't know which direction to pick them up.
"I'm old, so I won't follow you, this place is my home even if it changes!" The old man came over to pour water for the two, and when he heard them discussing the plan to break out, he understood that there was a lot of pressure to break through, so he chose resources to stay.
The two people raised their heads and looked at the old man, and the old man continued: "If it's really inconvenient, the old man and the children should stay, send the wounded out first, they still have to save their lives to fight the little devils, our old bones can not help except for the destruction of food!" ”
"No! Everyone must go, and no one can be left behind! The captain of the special operations brigade said firmly.
Just the wounded put a lot of pressure on them, plus these children and old people are nothing anymore, breaking through is imperative, and they can only go together. And this cellar can't withstand the shells of the little devils at all, and they are lucky to have survived until now.
The old man didn't speak, and went to take care of the others with the kettle.
"If we break through the siege, we must act tonight, and as soon as the morning dawns, the Japanese army can observe our actions clearly!"
"There is no other way but to attack! Xiao Xue, go out and inform the troops to fire three green signal flares, and we will break through now! ”
"But ......"
"Not so much...... The people in the cellar take their things and go right away! "The captain of the special operations brigade doesn't want to risk this cellar, if a shell comes down, they all have to die.
The people in the cellar didn't seem to be prepared for anything, but they were ready to leave when they entered the cellar.
One by one, everyone climbed out of the cellar mouth, but it was the turn of the old man at the end, and the old man stood motionless at the cellar entrance.
"Let's go, come and pick me up when you call back!" The old man didn't say a word, and blocked the hole with a plank.
The captain of the special operations brigade was helpless, now they had to hurry up, the old man insisted on not leaving, and they couldn't help it.
"A few of you leave everything you eat and drink at the entrance of the cave, and then carry the brigade commander, remember, no matter what happens, you can't leave the brigade commander half a step!"
Passing through the ruins, they soon joined the large army. The soldiers who stayed behind were very excited when they learned that they had found the brigade commander, and if it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of the little devil, they would have cheered at this moment.
"You two squads take the lead, I take the second squadron to protect them, and the remaining two squads are in charge of the rear of the palace! You know what to do! ”
It was already late at night, and the Japanese army did not care at all about the three signal flares fired by the fighters of the special operations brigade. The main thing is that they don't know what these three flares are for.
However, the soldiers under Liu Chundao discovered the abnormality and hurriedly reported the situation. Liu Chundao frowned, he couldn't figure out what the three signal flares meant, but he knew that this must be a signal from the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade.
"Division Commander, did they find Brigade Commander Huang?"
"I don't rule it out!"
Liu Chundao didn't dare to jump to conclusions, even if Huang Changsheng was found, what was the purpose of them sending this kind of signal flare, asking for help? However, with the combat capability of the special operations brigade and the current situation of the little devils, they do not need to ask for help at all.
"Let the guard company be on standby, and support at any time if there is a situation!"
Now that they can't take care of so much, Liu Chundao can only arrange the troops first, and if something really goes wrong, they can also do a good job of rescue work in time.
Assassination in the dark was a subject that the soldiers of the special operations brigade had to train, and the two fighters quickly touched the Japanese sentry posts, and after making sure that there were no enemies around, the captain of the special operations brigade followed up with a large force.
The night was as quiet as ever, but this silence caused a lot of stress on the stealthy marching team. Killing little devils can be said to be a matter of hand-to-hand capture for these soldiers, and it is easy to solve the sentry posts of several little devils.
Just as they were successfully passing through a street intersection, one of the children in the group suddenly stepped on the ground and did not know something, and the slightest sound in the quiet night could arouse the alarm of the little devil.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire, and the two fighters at the front were shot and fell before they could shoot.
