Chapter 4: Operation "Battle Village" 18. Escape
Cheng Zhen fired his last bullet, grabbed a grenade, and cocked it. He decided to hold off the enemy for the last minute to cover Gong Yangzi and his men's retreat. Suddenly, it was as bright as day outside. Fierce gunfire rang out around his wooden building. Gong Yangzi was the first to rush in, turned around and said, "Fire a signal flare immediately, and we will break out of the cliff!" Fierce gunfire and grenade sounds rang out at the entrance of the village. It was Da Zui who fired them.
Gong Yangzi pulled Cheng Zhen up and rushed out of the wooden building, but was immediately shot back by the machine guns in the mansion. The machine guns that Yamaguchi Nenghuo had set up in the mansion began to blockade and fire.
This was of course a sinister plan, because the mansion was located in the center of the village, towards the entrance. The village was only one kilometer in radius, almost all within the range of the machine guns on the mansion, and the South Y soldiers of the first battalion had already entered the village step by step.
Gong Yangzi shouted loudly, kicked through the back wall with one foot, and rushed out with Cheng Zhen.
However, the entire village was burning, which was like lighting a big torch. As soon as Gong Yangzi appeared, he was immediately chased by machine guns again.
Gong Yangzi rolled rapidly while holding Cheng Zhen. Cheng Zhen suddenly broke free and shouted, "Run! I'll follow you!" The two jumped wildly under the machine gun fire.
The comrades who were notified to retreat were shooting at the mansion from all directions, but the R army's machine guns were well hidden and were of no use. Instead, some comrades were locked by the enemy's machine guns and fell in a pool of blood.
South Y soldiers appeared, firing indiscriminately at civilians fleeing from the flames.
The egg-biter shouted loudly: "Folks, jump down quickly!"
Suddenly Cheng Zhen cried out softly, fell to the ground, and rolled towards the Nan Y soldiers. He rolled into the pile of Nan Y soldiers. Boom! The grenade on his body exploded. The Nan Y soldiers jumped down one after another.
Gong Yangzi didn't dare to stop and continued to roll, run and jump.
Yamaguchi Norihito cursed loudly: "Chase!"
The battalion commander patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, that's a 5-meter-high cliff! I've stationed three machine guns there! Even a bird can't fly over it!"
After hearing this, Yamaguchi Norihuo was relieved and shouted, "Stop firing the machine guns! Everyone, chase them to the edge of the cliff and capture them all alive! I want to sacrifice the guerrillas to the rising sun."
Of course he didn't know that his machine gun had been destroyed by Zhou Yong, Meng Lang and others!
Immediately, the guards who were still alive in the mountain pass walked to the front of the team. In this way, the R country officers were walking in the front, and the South Y soldiers behind them were emboldened and became fierce. The black mass of 500 people rushed towards the back mountain where Gong Yangzi and his men ran to, like they were doing drills.
Gong Yangzi and the warriors ran frantically, but in a burning village, they were exposed to Yamaguchi's sight.
Yamaguchi Nohuo liked this kind of pursuit very much: "Yoshi, surround them from both wings with your men. If they run away, shoot them to force them back. I want to capture them alive!"
The soldiers of Nan Y were all excited at this time, thinking that the opportunity to make meritorious deeds had come, and they immediately moved in all directions. Yamaguchi Nenghuo's eyes were as red as a dog that had drunk human blood: "Maintain military composure and surround them calmly!"
The R country officers marched in unison in drill steps, creating a rhythmic "crackling" sound, as if the entire burning village was shaking. The civilians who were not dead jumped on the ground, not daring to move.
Yamaguchi could feel the pleasure of conquering and killing! Seeing the high cliff, he shouted, "Fire flares!" Then he turned back and said to his orderly, "You, take a picture, take a picture of this scene!"
The flares illuminated the straight cliffs.
Tiger clearly saw Gong Yangzi, Yao Lujiang and the others coming, and he shouted: "Machine gun fire!" Five heavy machine guns formed a huge fan and fired fiercely. The target was the guards who could survive in Yamaguchi.
In an instant, a large number of R country officers who were caught off guard were swept down, and Yamaguchi Nenghuo was also beaten to the ground. The five machine guns roared more and more fiercely, forming a wall of rain. If Kataoka hadn't risked his life to hold Yamaguchi Nenghuo and roll back, I'm afraid he would have met his death. The South Y soldiers on both sides were not "treated badly" either. They enjoyed grenades, which fell like hail.
In an instant, the South Y soldiers scattered to find a safe place.
Five ropes had already been lowered to the bottom of the cliff, and the first group of injured comrades were pulled up the cliff.
Yamaguchi Norito was so angry that he yelled, "Baka!" He grabbed a R-country officer's gun and fired at him recklessly, shouting, "Shoot!"
The rain curtain of machine guns pushed forward little by little. Kataoka pulled him back again. Another officer blocked the machine gun bullets for him and fell down screaming. Yamaguchi Nenghuo then remembered: "Call the helicopter! Call the helicopter!"
When the rope was thrown down again, all the team members climbed up the rope. Tiger nervously looked at the sky in the west direction of Ganling with a telescope. The sky in the east was already bright. Suddenly, he saw the silhouettes of four helicopters.
The machine guns and mortars of the South Y Army were all moved in. When the first round of machine gun bullets came, two soldiers rolled down from the ropes. When the first round of shells hit the cliff, another soldier screamed and fell down.
The tiger shouted, "Everyone come and pull!" Everyone worked together and pulled the five ropes up at once.
The helicopter was already overhead and machine gun fire was coming down.
"Retreat!" Everyone supported each other and retreated into the depths of the jungle.
Once again, the enemy's plan failed.
In Sinar's office, under the leadership of the chief of staff, a new plan was born and was named: Smoke Signal Plan.
This plan consists of three steps. The first step is for the special forces to bombard the cave with rocket launchers. The second step is for all the special forces who enter the cave to release poison gas and incapacitating agents that not only destroy the enemy's respiratory system but also the enemy's visual system. The last step is to implement the elimination operation!
Oden said murderously: "Unless he can fight with his eyes squinted, otherwise, today is their end!"
"Don't say such terrible things! Those who stop resisting will be captured!" The chief of staff said to Barang. Because the last step was carried out by Major Barang's squad.
The first step was taken by Major Lacy, who was delighted: "I love doing this job!"
The people of M country like to be crazy. They even call others' non-craziness as oppression of human nature, or even as lack of human rights. Now they are asked to use rocket launchers to continuously destroy the caves that make them crazy but even want them to die. Of course, they are very enthusiastic.
After a while, the rumbling sound of explosions rang out in Tiangu Cave.
By the time Buddy's second team came in wearing gas masks and carrying poison-delivery tools, the stone wall of a Tiangu Cave had been blown to pieces and was beyond recognition.
This lively scene was obviously a stimulus to Buddy's soldiers. They started their work of spreading the poison, shouting like street hooligans.
After the poison was released, the cave was completely silent.
Clairvoyance still underestimated the power of the enemy's poison gas. The guerrillas and militiamen who were defending the tunnels almost all retreated by groping, and they were all convulsing, including Clairvoyance.
The clairvoyant could not control his muscles and his eyes kept shedding tears, which was of course a fatal blow to a man who claimed to have clairvoyance. The entire village had long since retreated from the cave and had set up camp in the jungle.
Seeing them coming out, the whole camp immediately fell into panic. Some women cried loudly because their husbands were blind; some old men cursed loudly for the harm done to their sons. However, the crying and cursing made the clairvoyant feel his responsibility.
He asked the chairman of the farmers' association who was organizing the people to evacuate to rush to the eight villages in Dazui to report the situation there, and at the same time he organized all the injured people to go to the pond to wash their eyes. However, soon his nerves began to hallucinate. If he had not been pulled up by the people, he would have almost drowned in the pond.
Fortunately, there were many branches in the cave, and when Balang's troops entered the cave, they either turned back or could not find a way out, and they have not yet found it.
The Clairvoyance was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. The villagers were at a loss for words. Some said they should leave, or else the M people would come. Others asked, this is our homeland, where can we go?
Just when everyone was panicking, a group of American soldiers came out of the cave. The common people started to panic and started to shout. The American soldiers were frightened and quickly retreated back to the cave. They pointed their guns at the woods as if they were facing a great enemy and fired randomly. At this time, a voice rang out:
Folks, don't panic!
Tiger, Egg-Breaking Craftsman, and Goat retreated into the jungle and counted the number of people. A total of five special guerrilla fighters were lost. Tiger was so distressed that his face changed.
Gong Yangzi lowered his head and came to the tiger: "Please punish me, tiger!"
The tiger said slowly: "No, you did a great job! Especially the back-up plan of breaking through the cliff. It's just that I was too careless in the face of such a powerful enemy."
The egg-biter grabbed Gong Yangzi's hand and said, "Tiger, Gong Yangzi's trick was really perfect. I was completely kept in the dark."
Gong Yangzi shook his head, "I'm not a god. When I first sent Zhou Yong, Meng Lang and others out, I just asked them to leave a reserve force outside the village." He exhaled, "When I found out that the enemy did have an ambush, I found Zhou Yong and others and discussed such a plan. Later, in order to let you rest, I didn't tell you for the time being. Alas, I thought I could retreat unexpectedly, but I didn't expect the enemy to be so cruel that they could burn the village to turn night into day!" He suddenly roared, "These damn R country soldiers, if I don't wipe you out, I'm not Gong Yangzi!"
Tiger said to the guerrillas in Dazui Village: "Leave all your ammunition and food to Gongyangzi and his men." Then he turned around and said: "Gongyangzi, Yaoluanjiang, I order you to continue tracking. No more risky attacks! Wait for my order for a decisive battle!" He turned around and looked at all the comrades in the Tiger Combat Team, "As long as you keep following these R Country devils to the death, I promise to wipe them out completely!"
The morning sun shone into the jungle, illuminating the members of the Tiger Fighting Team who had worked hard all night.
They fell asleep, but Tiger couldn't sleep, as he had to rush back to the eight villages.
As soon as Da Zui walked back to the village, he met the chairman of the Farmers' Association of Tonggu Village. After hearing what he said, he jumped up in a hurry and grabbed the militia captain: "I order you to guard the village and wait for Lao Hu and the others to come back. Tell them what happened in Tonggu Village immediately!" He turned around and said to the militiamen: "Let's go!"
However, the militiamen who were tired after a night of work were not special guerrillas. Some of them were already dozing off or slumped on their stools, and some had even gone home.
Dazui pulled the chairman of the farmers' association of Tonggu Village and said, "Let's go!"
The chairman of the farmers' association was stunned: "You, you are the only one!"
The militia captain said, "How about I go with you!"
Big Mouth shook his head. “No, someone has to tell Tiger.”
"Then you take the chairman of the farmers' association away. Who will lead the way later?" said the militia captain, a smart guy.
Da Zui was stunned and looked out of the village: "Tiger, why don't you come back?"
It is said that the sound of the gunshots from the M army that came out here first was equivalent to pointing the direction for the M army wandering in the cave, and immediately, they all came here.
The man who suddenly appeared picked up the Clairvoyant and ordered everyone to lift up all the people who were poisoned by the gas and move them deeper into the jungle. Behind him, another man came over, aimed his gun, and shot an M soldier, causing him to roll out of the hole and fall straight to the bottom of the valley.
His gun kept firing, sometimes single shots, sometimes bursts, as the villagers moved. However, a single gun could not withstand the attack of so many people. As more M soldiers rushed out of the cave shouting and pounced on the gun, the man had no choice but to retreat into the jungle.
The M countrymen rushed into the jungle, and the helicopters also roared towards the jungle, strafing the jungle all the way. The people were in a panic again.
The man with the clairvoyance shouted again: "Fellow villagers, please retreat without worries. Do you know who is behind us? He is a mountain bandit. He has more than a thousand ways to stop the enemy's attack!"
Of course, the common people knew about the bandit. He was a great bandit, a hero who killed the rich and helped the poor. The key point was that according to legend, he had the ability to go to heaven and earth. After hearing this, they continued to retreat into the depths of the jungle.
"Hmph!" The man sneered and suddenly moved through the jungle like a shuttle. The M army formed a jungle battle formation and entered cautiously.
Suddenly, a grenade exploded. The M army quickly dispersed. Then another M army started shouting. Some grabbed their faces and scratched, while others grabbed their hands and scratched.
The man snorted again, jumped up the tree, and said loudly: "This is the land of the Y country, all invaders get out!"
Immediately, the M army followed the sound and began shooting fiercely.
Balang also came over and shouted, "Everyone, attack with all your might!"
Tiger returned to Naba Village, immediately replenished his ammunition, and rushed to the back mountain of Tonggu Village. When they arrived at the back mountain of Tonggu Village, the gunfire had subsided. Only the M army was still lingering on the mountain, and the helicopter was still flying in the sky.
The tiger couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only watch carefully. After watching for a long time, he frowned and asked, "Who helped them?"
The chairman of the farmers' association shook his head: "Who will help us? Except you."
