"What happened?" Hu Yong, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Guards Regiment, asked when he saw the soldiers bring a few strangers to the encampment. But then, he saw the soldier's eyes. From the moment the soldier saw them, he had been winking at them. Suddenly, he realized that there was something wrong with this stranger!
Seeing this, Hu Yong hurriedly shouted," Take him down!”When the surrounding soldiers heard this, although they did not know what was going on, they did not hesitate at all. A few soldiers directly went forward and together with the soldier who led the way, they pressed the middle-aged soldiers to the ground before they could react.
"What are you doing? We are General Tang's subordinates. Aren't you afraid of offending General Tang by doing this? When General Tang blames you, can you bear it? Let us go, you bastards!" The middle-aged soldier with his hands clasped behind his back knew that he had most likely been exposed, but he still forced himself to shout. He was still making his final struggle.
" General Tang? Hehe, you'll know later whether you're General Tang's men or not," Hu Yong said coldly. Then, he looked at the soldier who led the way and asked,"Tell me, what happened?"
"Battalion Commander, I was patrolling outside the camp when I suddenly heard movement in the jungle, so I shouted. Then these guys came out from inside. He claimed to be General Tang's men and said that he got lost in the jungle because the previous battle formation was scattered.
I felt that there was something wrong with these guys, so I brought them here. Moreover, I feel that there are definitely more than these people in that forest. Battalion Commander, please make a decision!”The soldier who led the way directly explained the situation.
"Good job, you're not bad, kid. At this time, no suspicious person can let go of your credit. If there's really a problem, after the battle, I'll personally ask the regiment commander for credit! Then, he said to the few guards beside him,"Take this guy down first and keep a close eye on him. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!”
" Yes!" The guards replied immediately.
After making arrangements for these suspicious fellows, Hu Yong said,""Company commander, bring your men and follow me! You brat…Oh right, what's your name?”Hu Yong was just about to call the soldier leading the way, but realized that he still did not know this kid's name, so he asked.
" Battalion Commander, my name is Chen Lei, but because there are many stones in my name, people who are familiar with me call me Chen Shitou," the guard regiment soldier who led the way replied.
"Alright, Chen Shitou, you lead the way. We'll go and see what's going on!”Looking at the 1.8-meter-tall man, Hu Yong thought that this Chen Shitou was indeed right. However, he did not say much and said directly.
At this moment, the soldiers in the forest saw that their captain had gone in for a long time without any movement. They could not help but feel uneasy until…
" Everyone inside, listen up. You've been surrounded. Put down your weapons quickly, raise your hands, line up, and come out. Otherwise, don't blame us for firing." After First Company formed a semi-encirclement of the forest, Hu Yong picked up a simple loudspeaker and shouted into the forest.
In the jungle, the soldiers immediately panicked when they heard Hu Yong's shout. The reason why they were arranged to carry out such a mission was not because they were elites, but because they were all loyal to Marshal Yu. Only they could ensure that the news would not be leaked to the greatest extent.
The weapons they carried were mostly rifles and pistols. There were also a small number of light machine guns, submachine guns, and four mortars. However, machine guns and submachine guns were few in number. Therefore, when they heard that the Sichuan army was going to open fire, other than a few commanders who managed to remain calm, the others began to panic.
"What should we do? We've already been exposed. Should we rush out or retreat?”A platoon leader asked the deputy company commander with the highest military rank.
"Charge? What are we going to do? Didn't you see the equipment of those people outside? " Rush up and die!" The deputy company commander looked at the equipment of the Sichuan soldiers through the gaps in the branches and shouted at the platoon leader.
He was already considering whether he should retreat. Although he did not know how many troops there were outside, they all had submachine guns, mortars, and heavy machine guns. Under such circumstances, how was he supposed to charge? However, he knew the importance of this mission. If they failed, they would not end up well.
Looking at the dense forest around him, the deputy company commander's desire to retreat grew stronger. He knew that in this dense forest, if he retreated, he would most likely be able to escape. It was impossible for the Revolutionary Army to use mortars in the dense forest. On the contrary, if they rushed out of the dense forest, they would definitely become the target of mortars and heavy machine guns!
"Captain, what should we do? "Should we retreat?" Another platoon leader asked. He was not optimistic about this operation. Before they came, they had thought that there would be guards on the artillery side, but they had never thought of fighting these guards head-on.
In their settings, they only wanted to use the cover of the forest to get as close to the artillery position as possible, then use the mortars to detonate the shells on the artillery position. They would destroy the artillery position and leave. They definitely would not stay in the battle, but now it was obvious that this goal could not be achieved. They never thought that their company commander and the others would be discovered so easily.
However, it was useless to say anything now." Retreat. It's useless to stay." After weighing the pros and cons, the deputy company commander still chose to retreat. They were indeed loyal to General Yu, but they were not idiots. They obviously would not do such an obvious suicide mission. Of course, if General Yu ordered them to go, it would be another matter. He could only hope that the other teams would be able to make some achievements.
Thus, the group of people used the cover of the dense forest to quickly retreat. Outside the dense forest, Hu Yong looked at the swaying trees and could vaguely sense the intentions of these people. He had the intention to chase after them, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. This kind of dense forest was not suitable for chasing.
Moreover, he had received the order to defend the artillery position to the death. If anything happened to the artillery position, he, the other battalion commanders, and the regiment commander would have to bring their heads to the young marshal! Therefore, after reporting the situation, he left a platoon of people to guard the area and began patrolling other places.
It was his vigilance that helped him avoid a major loss. In the next few hours, his direction and several other directions were attacked one after another. Although there were not many people, the threat was absolute. If these people were allowed to sneak into the artillery position, the outcome would be unimaginable.
On the other side, the deputy company commander and the others, who were still hoping that the other teams would " make contributions ", did not expect that none of their teams would be effective.
He called over a Mountain Cannon Battalion and bombarded the forest for half an hour. After that, the unit disappeared. The other units that followed, although not completely wiped out, suffered heavy losses and could no longer pose a threat to the artillery camp.
P.S. Arriving at the second watch, please support me, thank you everyone!
