The ninth chapter night raid on the arsenal,
Facing these Red Army soldiers with expectant gazes in their eyes, He Zhengdao, who was opening the door for them, smiled and said, "We are the Red Army! Please wake up other comrades in a low voice. We came in from behind and did not alarm the defenders in front. So, be sure to speak softly, otherwise it will be troublesome if they alarm the defenders."
‘Okay! OK! I know!’
When they learned that He Zhengdao and others were really here to rescue their comrades, the Red Army, who had originally felt hopeless to escape, seemed a little ecstatic. They whispered to wake up the comrades who were still sleeping in the same cell, and suppressed the surprise and said to them: "Brother, stop sleeping, our comrades are here to save us!"
These words immediately made the Red Army who woke up from their sleep completely sleepless. When all the doors in the prison were opened, they looked at themselves with anticipation at the nearly two hundred Red Army soldiers crowded in the aisle.
He Zhengdao, who knew every minute, was very important to them, looked at the Red Army, who was rejuvenated and said, "Comrades, I will tell you a long story short, and there is a defender of the Gui army outside the cell, and I brought only ten soldiers.
I urgently need to select the corresponding commanders from you to accept combat missions. Please raise your hands and report the positions you have held and the numbers of the old troops."
As I just learned, He Zhengdao was a company-level officer and a guard next to the leader. Soon, a few older Red Army soldiers walked out of the team and reported their positions and troops to He Zhengdao.
He learned that among these people, Wang Tianlin, who had served as battalion commander of the Red First Army, and several other grassroots officers who also served as platoon leader of the company. He Zhengdao quickly merged these officers into two temporary companies based on the positions of these officers, and quickly divided them into two companies with a little troop appearance according to the troops number where these soldiers were previously in.
Wang Tianlin was also appointed temporarily, and Jiang Shan, a company commander from the Red Fifth Army, to serve as company commanders of the two temporary companies. The two company commanders quickly appointed the company's squad platoon leader according to their respective ages and positions.
All of this was arranged in less than ten minutes. He Zhengdao handed over the ten rifles and bullets confiscated from the cell to the officers of the two temporary companies. He Zhengdao told them to wait at the door for a while, and quickly got out of the cell and came to the defensive position not far from the cell before conducting reconnaissance.
On this defensive position, there were heavy machine guns on both sides. In the machine gun positions built up by sandbags, four Gui Jun were huddled together to sleep. There was no sound of someone walking in the barracks next to the prison.
The entire prison looked very quiet. Except for the soldiers on duty just now, the rest of the guards were resting. They didn't realize that the Red Army in the cell had been rescued at this moment.
Knowing that this opportunity was rare, He Zhengdao immediately made gestures to the soldiers who were staring at his command. He asked the rescued Red Army to carefully line up in a row under the guidance of the ten soldiers brought in. He quickly built a wall and quickly pulled out the prison through the high wall that had just climbed into the wall.
Until the last rescued soldier successfully digged out of the prison, He Zhengdao knew that there would not be much time left for him next. Now he had to fight for a few seconds to capture the Gongcheng Arsenal, which was also guarded by the Gui army, and armed the Red Army, which was still extremely lacking in weapons and equipment.
Seeing that all the people were rescued, He Zhengdao was the last to climb out of the wall and led two companies of the Red Army to successfully connect with Zhao Erzai and others. In order to prevent the guards in the prison, he found that the prison was empty, He Zhengdao arranged four soldiers with accurate marksmanship in front of the position guarding the prison.
What they have to do later is that once the prison guards find that the people inside are empty and are ready to come out for hunting or report the news, they will shoot and block them as soon as possible, and attract Gui troops from other parts of the city to help them, and then take down the Gongcheng Arsenal for them next to buy valuable time!
Several Red Army soldiers who were injured and unable to participate in the operation were placed in a hidden place in the city for a temporary escape. He Zhengdao took these two Red Army companies, which had just been rescued from the prison, and came to the arms warehouse where there were also heavy troops defending in Gongcheng.
Looking at the arms warehouse in front of him, it was completely different from the previous prison. The Gui army guarding here did not rest. On the contrary, there were patrol teams passing by in the warehouse from time to time. But the troops had arrived here and there was no time for him to think more. He Zhengdao asked the two temporarily appointed company commanders to organize the troops and prepare to respond to them at any time, rush into the arms warehouse to grab the ordnance and arm the troops.
After explaining this, He Zhengdao carefully observed the time of patrol, the number of people and the number of Gui troops hidden in the sandbag defense positions. He finally chose to take down the patrol team that passed by these defensive positions from time to time, and then waited for an opportunity to seize the arms warehouse.
He ordered the ten commandos who had just acted with him to scatter on the way the Gui Army patrol passed by, staring at the patrol team coming towards them.
As He Zhengdao took his two flying knives out of his life, he accurately pierced the foreheads of the two Gui soldiers who were walking in the front. The other ten commandos suddenly rushed from the darkness according to the order just now, and rushed to the patrol team Gui army with a surprised look on their faces. They were very quickly and neatly, silently erasing the eight-person patrol team at a corner.
He waved to let the following Red Army deal with the bodies of the eight Gui army with guns. He Zhengdao left three people behind and walked in front of the patrol team. He told the other seven Red Army soldiers that when they passed by the machine gun position in front of the warehouse, four of them were responsible for one. He must strive to take down the heavy machine gun position in front of the arms warehouse without disturbing the defenders inside.
In this way, Wang Tianlin and others were hiding in secret and watching, and were undoubtedly raising their hearts to their throats. They were afraid that the Gui army in those machine gun positions would find that the number of people was the same, but the patrol team completely replaced by the Red Army was pretending to be a stylus and immediately fired. At that time, under the strafing of two heavy machine guns, no one would survive!
Until this eight-person patrol team walked into the aisle between the two machine gun positions very smoothly, Gui Jun, who was about to say hello to them, suddenly realized that the patrol team under the torch was not the few people he knew just now. He was confused!
At this critical moment, He Zhengdao, who had noticed the change in his face of the Gui army soldier, gave him the first flying knife. At the same time, the seven assault soldiers following him quickly rushed into the machine gun position a few steps away like ghosts at night, and wiped the Gui army, who were still stunned, into the position.
He Zhengdao, who successfully took down a post, was afraid that there would be too late, so he quickly waved to Wang Tianlin and others in the dark, and asked his eight soldiers to take over the machine gun position. At the same time, he continued to lead these seven commandos, who seemed to be breathless in the past thrilling melee battle, walked towards the second warehouse post again.
Just as they successfully took down the Second Daogang, a harsh gunfire broke through the quiet night sky of Gongcheng, and followed by the fierce sound of gunfire. When He Zhengdao realized that the prison was likely to be exposed, he looked at the Sandaogang who was still in a wait-and-see state and came up with a bold idea.
He told the soldiers behind him not to speak and rushed into the inside directly. When he rushed to Sandaogang, He Zhengdao once again concealed his normal accent. He said as if he was shocked: "It's a gun, it's amazing, the Red Bandits have entered the city!"
Facing He Zhengdao, he was as if frightened, rushed over with a man dressed in a Gui army patrol. The last guard did not fire. Just when a Gui army officer leading the team was about to ask him what was going on outside. When He Zhengdao and the eight people approached, the officer just realized something was wrong, he heard He Zhengdao's cold voice saying, "Kill!"
The officer Gui Jun, who was still thinking about the patrol team reporting to him what was going on outside, fell to a flying knife that was pierced with his eyes open.
As for the other Gui soldiers who realized the attack, before they reacted, these commandos who had already killed a little excitedly following He Zhengdao tonight were as quick and fierce as tigers going down the mountain, and wiped out all the Gui soldiers who were close to them and on the post.
He slowly pushed open the door of the arms warehouse, and He Zhengdao ordered without having time to look closely: "Order the first company, the second company will come in quickly to get the equipment. Pick things that you can use, and quickly follow me when you get the weapons and attack the Gui Army Command of Gongcheng. Today I want to make Gongcheng lively for a night!"
Wang Tianlin, who received the order, also heard the gunshots in the city becoming more and more intense. He knew that the battle had reached its most critical moment. He quickly organized his soldiers to rush into the arsenal, took out boxes of neatly packed guns and ammunition, and equipped them to the hands of the Red Army officers and soldiers who were holding these weapons and smiling.
Faced with the warehouse full of guns and ammunition, it was rare to see Red Army soldiers with such good guns, and they seemed a little dazzled. Until He Zhengdao emphasized that he would use whatever he would do, a few people rushed to the places where light machine guns were placed. The excited person held a light machine gun in his hand.
When He Zhengdao saw that no one had taken the mortars there, he knew that this thing was useful and immediately said, "You guys will carry two mortars later and carry a box of shells to follow me. Three squads were left to protect the arsenal. Before we came back, any Gui army who dared to attack here would beat me hard.
You can use the ammunition in this warehouse at will. If you really can't stop it, then I authorize you to blow up this warehouse before retreating. Do you understand what you can do?"
After explaining these to the three squad leaders sent by Wang Tianlin, He Zhengdao quickly rushed to the security regiment command of Gongcheng with the remaining troops. Along the way, he encountered Gui army, and was beaten by the Red Army carrying light machine guns and fled in a panic.
Chapter completed!
