Chapter 58: Ambush the Russian Army
Time returns to dawn
While the Beiyang Fleet attacked Lushun, dozens of Nighthawk airships took off on Beizhu Island in Weihaiwei, each of which was loaded with Lone Wolf players with real guns and bullets.
Under the leadership of the flag boat Nighthawk One, the Nighthawk airship troops flew towards the sky above Lushun. In the Nighthawk One airship, Liu Wenqing personally directed the flight, and Tang Jian and Wang Jianchuan were smoking leisurely.
Liu Wenqing handed over the command to the deputy captain who was beside him, sat down, and asked with a smile: "Commander, it seems that you have not forgotten our Nighthawk soldiers!"
Without waiting for Tang Jian to reply, Wang Jianchuan snatched the conversation and said, "Come on, Wenqing, you should be a transportation brigade this time. You just need to send us to the Wafangdian in Lushun safely."
Liu Wenqing's face looked a little ugly and he thought to himself: Is this really the case?
Before departure, Tang Jian ordered all the airships to remove the shells and install them on the lone wolf team members. The Nighthawk airship without the bombing shells was at best a decoration. Liu Wenqing guessed that the Nighthawk might be responsible for transporting these lone wolfs this time. Now, after Wang Jianchuan said this, it is true.
Tang Jian threw away the cigarette butts in his hand and stood up and said, "Wen Qing, this battle is not as good as before. This time the opponent is the Russian Cossack cavalry. If the speed of the Cossack cavalry is faster, it will be much faster than your airship. Therefore, you will not have much effect on the Cossack cavalry in the air. This time you will act as an air transport team. Haha, don't worry, as long as the plane from Beizhu Island is born, the sky in the Far East will belong to your Air Force."
After listening to Tang Jian's explanation, Liu Wenqing felt a little depressed, and he just wanted to admit his identity as the air transport team this time.
"Reported to Colonel Liu, he has arrived over Lushun, and he will be able to reach Wafangdian in one hour!" The lookout at the cabin said.
Tang Jian took the telescope handed over by Wang Jianchuan and observed the battle situation below Lushun.
At this time, it can be clearly seen from the air that the Beiyang Fleet's naval guns almost completely covered the artillery on both sides of the straits. Tang Jian could even see that on a mudflat on the southeast side, there were already Marines fighting on the beach.
Looking at this good trend, it is almost certain that the Beiyang Fleet will completely capture Lushun, but all they lack is time.
After reading it, Tang Jian threw the telescope to Wang Jianchuan and said to Liu Wenqing: "Okay, let the Nighthawk airship accelerate. When the Russian defeated soldiers fled to Wafangdian, the lone wolf airborne will airborne and choose the ambush position. Before the black defeated soldiers organize a counterattack against Lushun tomorrow, they will attack all the enemies ambushed in Wafangdian in one place."
"Yes, Commander!" After Liu Wenqing got the order, he immediately notified all the airships to speed up immediately and headed towards Wafangdian.
One hour later.
Above the Wafangdian, countless white "flowers" fell all over the sky, and there was a person hanging under the huge "flowers", swaying in the air to the ground.
Those "flowers" are parachutes tied to the Lone Wolf team members. The Nighthawk airship formation was suspended in the air. The Lone Wolf team members continued to parachute from the bottom of the airship hoist basket. Then, a large area of white landed around the area where Tang Jian was located.
After the airborne was completed, Wang Jianchuan took out a signal rod, and a soft green light emitted from the signal rod, and the green light was particularly conspicuous in the darkness, and the signal rod kept jumping up and down in the night.
After Liu Wenqing took a look at the signal that the airborne landed on the ground, he asked the lookout hand to turn a return indicator light, and then took dozens of Nighthawk airships to return in the dark night before dawn toward Beizhu Island.
After Tang Jian cut off the parachute on his back with a paratrooper knife, he whispered: "Buried the parachute immediately, pretend to be good, and don't be discovered easily!"
After Tang Jian's order was issued, a sound of a knife cutting rope came from the grass around him. Soon, the entire airborne troops had already dealt with the parachute on their bodies.
Tang Jian said to Wang Jianchuan: "Count the number of people immediately!"
"Yes!" Wang Jianchuan got the order and led the captains of each team to count the number of airborne people one by one, checking whether anyone was airborne to other places and did not come to the scheduled assembly site.
After Wang Jianchuan came back, he reported: "The commander reported that there were 452 people actually airborne, and 452 people had arrived, and none of them deviated from the scheduled location."
Tang Jian took a look at Dongfang, there was already a little bit of white fish belly there, and it was about to dawn. It was estimated that Lushun must have been captured at this time.
Tang Jian ordered: "Immediately go to the valley one kilometer northwest, choose the ambush position before six o'clock, and each will be able to solve breakfast on the spot before seven o'clock, and hide everything at eight o'clock!"
After receiving Tang Jian's order, more than 400 people quickly ran towards the canyon one kilometer northwest. More than 400 people marched in this quiet wilderness without making any sound. In the hazy fog before dawn, only a black group of people were seen running silently towards the northwest.
After choosing the ambush position on both sides of the valley, the Lone Wolf team members took out dry food and water from their backpacks and began the first breakfast before the war.
Wang Jianchuan took out a compressed biscuit and handed it to Tang Jian, then unscrewed the marching pot and put it aside. When Tang Jian was thirsty, he could pick it up and drink it.
While chewing the compressed biscuits with a light salty taste, Wang Jianchuan asked, "Commander, I still don't understand why we are going to ambush here. I might as well just conquer Lushun with the Beiyang Fleet."
Tang Jian took a sip of water, barely swallowed the compressed biscuits, and said, "The CIA intelligence personnel were unable to approach the heavily defended Lushun some time ago, but they found a closely guarded Russian military quarantine warehouse in the Wafangdian area!"
"Then what does this demand database have to do with our ambushing the defeated soldiers who retreated from Lushun?" Wang Jianchuan asked.
"I investigated it. Since the last time I led Lushun to be easily occupied by the Japanese, the Russians have summarized their experience of failure and felt that most of the Russian army defenders who fled at that time did not lose their combat effectiveness, but only lost individual weapons and heavy weapons. So the Russians came up with a solution to secretly build this military warehouse in the north of Lushun, that is, in Wafangdian. The military warehouse can provide weapons to the Russian army retreating from Lushun so that they can launch a counterattack at any time!"
"There is another reason. When the Russian Cossack cavalry rushed to Lushun from western Liaoning to assist Lushun, they must have lightly set off to speed up the marching speed. When the Cossack cavalry came here, the Wafangdian military warehouse, which was the only way to go to Lushun, would only be supplemented with weapons and equipment. At that time, the Cossack cavalry, who retreated from Lushun, would counterattack Lushun, and the Marines who stayed in Lushun City to block the attack will be in danger." Tang Jian gave Wan Jianchuan a detailed analysis of the necessity of this operation.
"Didn't it mean that Nie Shicheng and his team ambushed and blocked the Cossack cavalry in Yingkou? Why would reinforcements come to the military warehouse of Wafangdian?" Wang Jianchuan was still a little puzzled.
Tang Jian was not angry at all. He was thinking of gradually cultivating Wang Jianchuan into the commander of the first army, so he explained to Wang Jianchuan again: "Nie Shicheng's ambush and blocking line is not airtight. He can only block most of the Cossack cavalry. Among them, there will definitely be caught fish outside the main force of the cavalry that will pass through Yingkou and Phoenix City. The gathering place of these scattered cavalry is in Wafangdian!"
"Oh, I understand, Commander, you want to wipe out the retreating Russian troops in this valley first, and then attack Wafangdian, grab the military gulf, wait for work in Wafangdian, and defeat the small groups of Cossack cavalry who broke through the defense line!" Wang Jianchuan said excitedly.
"By the way, I finally got it done!" Tang Jian smiled and said, "You will be responsible for sniping the officers among the defeated soldiers in a while. Now I order the brothers who have finished breakfast to hide immediately!"
"Yes! Commander" Wang Jianchuan was praised by Tang Jian, and ran down with a smile to choose a sniper position to prepare for the next ambush.
The ambush location chosen by Tang Jian happened to be the only way from Lushun to Wafangdian. The dense vegetation on both sides of the valley after Huichun is the best place to hide.
There are more than 400 lone wolf players lurking on both sides of the canyon. These lone wolf players have undergone strict training by Zhu Lianjie and are definitely the role of one as ten.
This valley is less than five kilometers away from Wafangdian. The Russian army who fled from Lushun would never have expected that anyone would be so bold to ambush them at such a close distance from Wafangdian Military Control Depot. You must know that there are a total of 3,000 defenders stationed in Wafangdian. Ambush at such a close distance can easily fall into the danger of fighting on both sides and being surrounded by counter-encirclement.
At the same time, in front of the Russian defeated troops, a Russian lieutenant general walked in front of the team in a swagger. The lieutenant general counted the defeated troops retreating from Lushun behind him, with almost more than 5,000 people.
However, the Lieutenant General who was walking in the front seemed a little embarrassed, with black stains on his face. It was probably because he was dirty when he ran away and still had time to wipe it. The original brand new military uniform was even more wrinkled at this time.
The lieutenant general walked while cursing the Beiyang Fleet. He originally thought he could hold on to Lushun for at least ten days, but he didn't expect that he didn't even defend it for ten hours.
No matter how much he scolded, the Russian Lieutenant General was shuddered when he thought of the fierce battle before dawn. The Beiyang Fleet's naval guns were too accurate. The shore guns on both sides of the shore guns were bombarded into pieces by the Beiyang Fleet's shore guns. In some places, before the artillery in the fire was fired, they turned into a pile of molten iron under the carpet bombing of the Beiyang Fleet.
Now that he is killed, he is not willing to go back and fight the terrifying Beiyang Navy. It’s better to go to the Wa Hotel to have a good rest and wait for the proud Cossack cavalry to deal with the Beiyang Navy!
"Report to the commander, the Russian army was found in front of him, with a total of about 5,000 people!" A communications soldier ran over panting and said.
"Okay, I know, order it, everyone is ready for battle and wait for my order to attack!" Tang Jian ordered.
At this time, a new recruit beside Wang Jianchuan asked in surprise: "Col. Wang, is it really five thousand people to four hundred people?"
Wang Jianchuan took off the straw hat disguised on his head, exposed two big white teeth, and smiled and said, "Little devil, it's four hundred to five thousand. You should be glad you are among these four hundred people!" Then, Wang Jianchuan stopped talking and let the recruit who had no combat experience hide.
Through the optical scope on the sniper rifle, Wang Jianchuan clearly saw the Russian lieutenant general walking in front.
Chapter completed!
