Chapter 1014: Detonating America
"All the 'evidence' is in place?" The young officer who led the team lowered his voice and asked the white youth beside him, they have to do a very important and important thing tonight, but they can't go wrong, they can't go wrong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf things mess up this time, they can all be ready to pack up and go to prison to eat prison and be forced to work, and they don't want to have a better day in this life.
The rest of the people were silent, one was still wiping the plaster on his face, these people had just followed the white young man into the US military barracks, although the white young man came forward to deal with the talk, but the people behind also needed to put on a little makeup. As the top soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the brigade headquarters, they knew the importance of what they were doing tonight. That must not be done by the Americans.
"Then hide." The young officer at the head whispered, and then everyone fell to the ground, quietly waiting for the super fireworks to bloom. The camp in front of them was the camp of the Americans, which now housed one hundred and forty or fifty people, and the Americans urgently set up two large wooden warehouses to store gunpowder and a considerable amount of military supplies.
The previous U.S. military only had a platoon, and all the material and ammunition were hidden in a cellar, but with the arrival of that militia company, the cellar was no longer enough. The Americans simply built two wooden row houses. It seems that there is a hint from this, and the Americans do not have the idea of starting a fight with Chen Han now. Their response was too casual.
What the young officers did was to let the selected personnel wear Indian ornaments, quietly infiltrate the American camp, make regular explosion and fire devices on the two warehouses, and then throw the Indian ornaments at the crime scene and outside the site. The ornaments are made of stone and horn, so be careful where the 'put' is. And then there's St. Andrew's Cross!
St. Andrew's Cross is an 'X' shape, and because it was on this X-shaped cross that Andrew was eventually executed, the X-shaped cross later became his symbol, symbolizing difficult endurance and unwavering faith. The Scots like to use the X-shaped cross.
Their intention was to frame the British and the Indians, but the Americans would not all believe that the British would do it unless they were fools.
Although it is not unusual for the British to really do it, they also have the motive of 'doing it', but in that case, the 'evidence' left at the scene should be the stuff of the Chinese and Indians. But the Americans are not fools, what if they hide the ornaments of the Indians and only quarrel with the evidence of the Chinese? Guarding against that, isn't it?
The best way to prevent that is to leave them no evidence at all, and even if there is evidence, deny it.
Besides, they didn't wronged the British. It is really possible that the British have such a mental intention, and they absolutely hope that the Americans and the Chinese garrison will fight now. This not only dragged China back, but also weakened the strength of the United States.
And the Americans' defense is really lax, and those militiamen who came with subsequent reinforcements defecate in the station, walk around, drink, sing and dance, and are not here to prepare for war at all. On the contrary, it provided great convenience for their enemies.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, taking advantage of the whirring southeast wind, several successive explosions sounded, and some flames quickly rose with the help of the wind, and the entire US military station became a mess.
"Boss, if we take the opportunity to attack now, we can easily take them all down." A scout said beside the officer. By this time, the scout's voice had been released, because he would certainly not be heard in the noisy American camp.
The officer who took the lead smiled and waved his hand, "Withdraw!" ”
The fire had already burned, and it was no longer useful for him to lead people to stay here, but there was a danger of leakage. The officer led his men out of the dark hillside in turn, heading for the way they came. They still have a lot to do, but tonight is destined to be remembered by history! Thinking of this, the hearts of these people were rolling with a trace of excitement.
"Everyone is not allowed to walk around and shout, and they are all at their posts to guard against enemy attacks!" At this time, the officer in the regular unit of the US army showed the qualities of a veteran, and he first sent someone to quickly assemble the people in the dormitory and evacuate the people who planned to put out the fire. Two warehouses were on fire, and one of them was their arsenal. At this time, I went to fight the fire, which was actively seeking death.
Of course, this fire also burned his heart bitterly, and all the reserves of food in the station, which should have been only a small part of the kitchen, the forage for the horses, and the military supplies of their station, including clothes, bedding, canned food, cured meat, sugar, coffee, medicine, etc., and all the arms and ammunition, were all gone.
"What a blessing!" Seeing that the people who were going to fight the fire had already been evacuated, and the warehouse where gunpowder was stored came with a bang, a big explosion came, and the platoon commander of the military station and the company commander of the militia company wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Regardless of what they were going to do afterwards, at least no one was killed by the disaster. God forbid.
However, he could not relax, the warehouse was bombed and burned, this must have been done by the enemy, most of them were Chinese not far away. The two of them must find the 'evidence' as soon as possible, investigate the guards of the warehouse, and give an account when the boss is held accountable. At least that's an expression of their attitude.
When the explosion was over, the entire station was completely illuminated by the raging flames, and everyone surrounded the fire, and the ordinary soldiers looked at each other from the beginning, and then quickly became filled with righteous indignation. It was really fortunate that no one was injured at the barracks, except for three soldiers in the squad guarding the warehouse, who were slightly burned. But they lost all their supplies, and the bread and potatoes and vegetables left in the kitchen were only enough for their breakfast to-morrow.
All the supplies were burned, and the entire military station was already in a critical situation of lack of food and clothing. They were three days away from the nearest U.S. military station, and some of the soldiers were already looking at the horses in the camp.
After the last open flames were extinguished, the sky was completely bright, and the gloomy American officers and militia company commanders walked into the ruins of the warehouse, which had become a pile of ashes, despite the dissuasion of everyone. Everywhere you look, there are grains and cured meats that have been charred by the heat, as well as some buckshot that has melted into lumps, and even some iron bullets and gun barrels that have burned red.
The militia company commander was also a veteran, his eyes were very bright, and after a few circles in the ruins, he picked out a string of stone necklaces from the ruins with his saber. Although the thing was burned black and mutilated, some American soldiers recognized it at a glance - a stone necklace of the Hindus. They let out a low exclamation, and then immediately exchanged ears.
"Could this really be the work of the Bertawatomi?" The second lieutenant officer of the U.S. Army did not believe that the Indians could not be convicted by a string of stones found at the scene.
But in the process of cleaning up the ruins, the U.S. military soon found other evidence. Including the X-shaped cross, which the Scots loved.
The second lieutenant officer of the American army still did not believe it, but the militia company commander did. As a veteran of the year, Britain was the country that militia company commanders hated the most. Then the second fast horse of the American army quickly ran towards the nearest American military station.
Not only that, but the militia company commander also gritted his teeth and proposed to the second lieutenant officer, "The British must have instructed the Indians to do it, it was a Scottish X-shaped cross, and there was nothing wrong with it." I've seen it from the captive British, and I can't be wrong. Mr. Shaowei, it is likely that they have not gone far, and I suggest that a search be conducted immediately. "Hatred confuses even a veteran.
The second lieutenant officer didn't argue with the militia company commander whether the British had done this, he just spread his hands out, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request." We don't have food. ”
We had no food, and the six simple words made the militia company commander who had just been angry stunted on his chair like a deflated ball.
……
"I don't understand, why did you leave the British and Indians on the scene. If you want to stay, you should keep us. Or let's burn a warehouse ourselves, leave some American things, and let's go up and end up with the American military station opposite. That's what provokes trouble. Jiang Kui said to Shen Shiying in a hundred ways that he didn't understand.
Is it so much effort to make Americans dare to be angry and not dare to speak? That's not enough.
"Dare to be angry and dare not speak? Yes, the Americans at Fort Dearborn dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. But what about Washington's? Shen Shiying said with a smile.
The atmosphere between China and the United States is already very tense, and the bilateral situation is completely imminent. It's like a warehouse full of gunpowder, all it takes is a hint of open flame to fly into the sky in no time.
And when this fire is sent to Washington, it will become a trace of open flame, and even if it is not a 'fire', someone will make it a fire. Many high-level U.S. officials in Washington are reluctant to go to war with China, but there are also many more who regard China as America's mortal enemy.
This fire was the straw that broke the camel's back.
……
Two or three miles away from the U.S. military station, behind the side of a small hill, a brand-new barracks was being rapidly built. The flags in the barracks were flying with dazzling red flags.
This is the second step of the garrison's plan.
has to inch in, and deceive people too much.
Taking advantage of the fact that the people in the old US military station were facing a hunger crisis, and taking advantage of the opportunity of the explosion of the old American military station, they took the opportunity to advance the military station.
The new military station is very close to the US military station, and this distance is completely under the cover of artillery, but can the US artillery still fight?
The garrison does not need to 'make a big move' at all, it can add fuel to the fire in the hearts of the United States and make the staunch anti-China US hardliners even more angry. If nothing else, this should be a crucial bit of open fire that will detonate the whole of America!
