Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 695: Rescue

It has been several days since Tang Qiuquan led the Sixth Special Forces Team into the Guandi Mountains and the North Wudang Mountains, but there is still no news about Meiling. In the first few days, traces of the battle can still be found. In these days, not even a trace is found.

None, Mei Ling and his comrades seemed to have disappeared out of thin air without a trace.

Qiuquan rested on the rock. The team members were naturally alert around him. He was very confused and suspected that he was pursuing the wrong direction. However, judging from the map and several battle traces found, Qiuquan still believed that Meiling and the others were

Retreating toward the bank of the Yellow River, but in the Luliang Mountains, where there are numerous peaks and criss-crossing valleys, trying to find the more than fifty people who have lost contact is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

Squad leader Chu Tian came over and hesitated to speak. Qiu Quan looked at his confidant. Chu Tian was seriously injured when he was suppressing bandits in Baodugu, Shandong. Qiu Quan was so anxious that he used all the available medical conditions.

, they were all found, and Chu Tian’s life was finally snatched back from the hands of the Lord of Hell. Now that he finds himself, he must have something to say.

Chutian looked at Tang Qiuquan, who was meditating, and saw his encouraging eyes, and said: "Detachment leader, I think we are looking in the wrong direction. According to the order of the division commander, these troops should be in the southeast direction. We also encountered them along the way.

They basically operate in the original combat area

, The east bank of the Yellow River is an area with dense Japanese troops. They will not be stupid enough to throw themselves into a trap. The little devils will not make great efforts to encircle and suppress such a small force. As long as they do not encounter a large number of Japanese troops, they should be in no danger.

I suggest that we turn around and search southeast tomorrow."

Qiuquan understood what Chu Tian was thinking. These soldiers, who had not fought for several days in a row, had itchy palms, crawled into the deep mountains and old forests, full of reluctance. They were also having a great time fighting around Taiyuan, which disturbed the little devil.

There was no peace day and night, but he came here with an order. From the words of the soldiers, he also heard that four elite special operations teams were used just to find a small force of more than fifty people. It was not worth the effort.

, a bit overkill.

However, Qiuquan could not explain clearly to the soldiers the reason why he spent so much effort to search for the division commander's brother-in-law in this small unit. From Tang Qiuli's telegram, he could also see Xiaoqiu's euphemism.

, it is not appropriate to make a big fanfare, so Qiuquan said: "

Why, have you become impatient these days? I still don’t know what you are thinking. There is nothing to gain from fighting here, and everyone is panicking. They are all our comrades. Finding them is more important than fighting the Japanese. Go ahead and tell everyone.

, tomorrow we will continue to search eastward according to the original plan.”

Chu Tian stuck out his tongue and secretly called the detachment leader to be powerful. He immediately revealed everyone's thoughts. "Okay, just be a search and rescue team member." Before Chu Tian left, a sentry ran over and said, "Report to the detachment leader, detachment leader, we are here."

Gunfire came from the west, about six or seven kilometers away." Tang Qiuquan jumped up and ran to the hillside with Chu Tian. Sure enough, a burst of gunfire came faintly along with the mountain wind.

Qiuquan thought to himself, could it be Mei Ling and the others? "Order, the Sixth Squadron will gather and set off immediately. The sound of gunfire is the destination." He gave the order succinctly. Chu Tian just gave an order, and more than 240 team members were already heading towards

He ran towards the direction where the gunfire came from, and immediately sent out a group of advanced soldiers to search ahead. Looking at the performance of the members of the Sixth Team, Tang Qiuquan nodded with satisfaction. The Sixth Team was trained well by Chu Tian.

Gunshots suddenly rang out at Meiling. The wounded and weak, how could they be accurate? The bullets all hit the rocks, sparking a series of sparks. The surrounding Japanese soldiers knew that a sneak attack would not work, so they immediately changed to a violent attack, using crooked light machine guns.

, a gust of wind blew up from the 38 big cover, and it slammed towards the entrance of the cave, blocking the entrance. Unprepared, the four sentries at the entrance of the cave, who were napping continuously due to extreme fatigue, were hit and fell to the ground.

fell to the ground.

In just a short time, the Japanese soldiers had rushed down the hillside. The soldiers who had reacted to the dark crowd immediately fought back. The dense rain of bullets blocked the momentum of the Japanese charge. In the night, the tracer bullets dragged a dark red tail.

, shuttled back and forth, sparks flew everywhere, and the battle became intense as soon as it started.

The advantage of the Japanese army lies in the large number of people. The advantage of Meiling and others lies in the intensive firepower. Relying on the cave, the Japanese army was repelled after several waves of charges, so they stopped attacking and blocked the entrance of the cave with intensive firepower. Meiling and the four wounded soldiers

, had long been dragged deep into the cave. In such a short period of time, the Japanese army suffered dozens of casualties. Three of Meiling's four sentries were killed and one was seriously injured. The battle was stalemate here. The Japanese army could not attack. Meiling

They couldn't break out either.

Meiling was very puzzled. He had not encountered Japanese troops for several days. How could he be suddenly attacked tonight? Not only Meiling thought this way, but all the soldiers thought the same. Speaking of it, it was really a coincidence. The Japanese troops from three squadrons

, I chased towards Fangshan and Linxian for several days, but I didn’t even see a single person. I sent a telegram to inquire about the troops in that direction, but no trace of the small Chinese troops was found. Is this strange?

The three Japanese officers who newly took over as squadron leader quarreled again, each holding their own opinions. One side said that the Chinese soldiers must be hiding somewhere nearby, looking for opportunities to cross the river. The other side said that we must be chasing in the wrong direction. Those Chinese soldiers

The soldiers were still hiding in place and did not dare to come out. No one could convince anyone. Finally, a compromise plan was adopted. The troops of one squadron continued to pursue, while the troops of two squadrons returned to the original place and conducted a careful search.

As for Meiling and the others, because they had not encountered Japanese troops for several days, they relaxed their vigilance and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River. When they camped, they did not strictly select a place. The bonfire lit in the cave did not make necessary disguises.

Discovered by the Japanese search team, the Japanese soldiers in this team were very cunning. After discovering this situation, they did not alert Meiling and others, but returned to the brigade to report. The two Japanese squadron leaders who learned the news were overjoyed and immediately led their troops to surround them overnight.

Come up.

According to their plan, they sneaked into the cave entrance and killed all the Chinese soldiers in a sudden attack. If they could capture a few alive, that would be the best. If Mei Ling hadn't discovered it, these extremely excited Japanese soldiers would have probably rushed in.

In the cave, the fate faced by Meiling and others was that they would all be killed or captured.

This is an extremely dangerous situation, and there is something even more dangerous than this. There is no other exit from this cave. In fact, Mei Ling and the others are in a desperate situation. With their superior firepower, they can hold on to the entrance of the cave and prevent the Japanese troops from rushing in.

However, in the future, if they can still hold on for a few days and run out of ammunition and food, they will only have the only option to die in battle.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, Mei Ling immediately put aside all the fear, attachment and responsibilities in his heart, forcing him to calm down. He called the six squad leaders together to discuss it. Everyone knew that they were facing a situation and that it was impossible to break out.

The dense rain of bullets from the Japanese army has formed a web of death at the entrance of the cave. If you rush out, you will only be a living target for the little devils.

We could only hold on and fight until the last moment. The fifty-eight people were divided into nine groups and took turns to defend the entrance of the cave. They all tried their best to rest, maintain their strength, save ammunition, food and water, and try to hold on for the longest time. After the decision was made, everyone split up to prepare.

No one can see the face on everyone's face

Despite the panic and frustration at the desperate situation, his eyes were surprisingly calm. The Japanese army used mortars, and shells one after another continued to explode at the entrance of the cave. Broken rocks flew everywhere, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Walking through the cave, the burning pain in the throat makes one unable to breathe.

The soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave were injured by stones and were forced to retreat into the cave. They used rocks and rocks to build a line of defense. Lying in Meiling deep in the cave, they watched their comrades at work and regretted that they could not help. Once

Knowing clearly the situation he was facing, Mei Ling calmed down in his heart. He was just unwilling to give in, so he went to the battlefield once, and he didn't kill too many little Japs. To leave him like this in the barren mountains was the biggest regret in his heart.

Thinking about it, he put another grenade on his chest, which was prepared for himself and the little devil. He also saw his comrades who had no combat missions, groping to write a suicide note in the dim light of the campfire. He also wanted to write one.

, but I don’t have the energy to say anything to my loved ones.

There were too many, and there seemed to be nothing to say. Mei Ling closed his eyes, held the grenade tightly, and waited for the last moment to come. His heart was completely empty. At this moment, this eighteen-year-old boy had

Gain a deeper understanding of life.

Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, the Japanese army launched another attack. They were repulsed by the ferocious firepower in the cave at the cost of dozens of people. The defending soldiers also suffered six casualties. The Japanese army went crazy with anger and used

More intense firepower was used to vent the anger in the heart. Mortar shells and grenades exploded into balls of orange fire at the entrance of the cave. The cave shook with violent explosions and seemed to collapse at any time.

Tang Qiuquan, who was running towards the direction of the gunshots, did not forget to call the second and fourth squadrons nearby to come closer to him. He did not know the scale of this battle. He climbed over several hills and arrived near a valley. The sound of gunshots

The sound of explosions became clearer, and groups of flames could already be seen flashing continuously in the night sky. From the intensity of the gunfire, Qiuquan could conclude that there were no less than two squadrons of Japanese troops.

He ordered the Sixth Squadron to attack freely. To do such a job, it was familiar to the members of the Sixth Special Forces Squadron. Chutian made a gesture, and the soldiers immediately divided into several groups to fight. In an instant, they disappeared into the night. The plum blossoms in the cave

Ling and his comrades were stunned when they heard the fierce gunshots coming from outside. The gunshots were so familiar, and they were the unique clear and continuous sound of Somi submachine guns.

The Japanese army that was suddenly attacked was the opponent of the special forces members who were accustomed to night fighting. They were caught off guard and were thrown into disarray. Gunshots were heard from all directions. The Japanese squadron leader did not know how many people came and quickly ordered a retreat.

On the way, they happened to bump into the second special operations team coming up. They were beaten hard again and finally ran out. After counting the number of people, there was only less than one squadron left.

The gunfire stopped, Qiuquan stood up and shouted loudly: "I am Tang Qiuquan, leader of the Special Warfare Detachment of the ** Division. That's the unit inside the cave. Please tell me your number."
