Chapter 082: Surrounded by the British Army
The brothers of the Special Forces squad lay neatly on the floor against the wall, Zhang Dalu's snoring sound echoing throughout the room.
Dong Li Mao had no sleepiness, under the dim horse lamp, he looked at the map, trying to find a best breakthrough passage from it, leading hundreds of people who had no combat experience to break through, was not an easy task, relying on the special agent company's over 100 men, wanting to safely lead these people out of danger, was really too difficult, must find a Japanese army defense weakest breakthrough.
Dong Li Mao knew that the other side of the Ren An River had already been occupied by the new 38th Division, and the Japanese army there had been cleared out. The 113th Regiment of the new 38th Division would launch the final rescue assault at midnight from the other side, leading these people across the river was absolutely impossible, first, there were no boats, secondly, the riverbank would become the main battlefield for the rescue troops, even if they weren't killed by the Japanese army's random gunfire, they would be annihilated by friendly artillery and shrapnel.
Which direction should we break through?
Dong Li Maozheng was deep in thought when he heard the sound of a car engine outside, knowing that Pan Guangzu and the others had returned. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he muttered to himself: "This winter melon is indeed quite capable." As he walked out of the house, Pan Guangzu jumped down from the car.
"Company Commander, look, I've managed to get us a few British army trucks and some armed jeeps..." Pan Guangzu said with a hearty laugh, pointing at the trucks and jeeps behind him.
"Good job! Have you got all the ammunition?" Dong Li Mao patted Pan Guang Zu's water buffalo back and asked.
"We're all on the vehicle, and I also got an anti-tank rocket launcher! I think it might come in handy when we break through," said Pan Guangzu with a pleased expression.
At this time, all the brothers who were sleeping in the house were awakened by the sound of the car and came out to watch the excitement.
"Don't just stand there watching the excitement, quickly unload the supplies from the vehicle! Fatty, you're in charge of distributing the ammunition to each person." Dong Li Mao ordered.
He walked to the back of the truck loaded with ammunition, where soldiers were already unloading boxes of ammo. Dong Li Mao picked up an anti-tank rocket launcher and slung it over his shoulder, grinning and saying: "This is my first time actually getting my hands on one of these things, wonder if it works?"
"Hu San panted and ran over: 'Comrade Lian! It's bad! The British devils have surrounded us!'"
"What? What are they trying to do?" Dong Limao took the rocket launcher off his shoulder and stared, asking.
"I don't know, probably a whole battalion of soldiers, all carrying guns and looking fierce!" Hu San replied.
"Alright, it must be about the ammunition! Let the brothers get ready!" Dong Li Mao said, taking a rocket shell from the wooden box and loading it into the rocket launcher on his shoulder. He let out a loud shout: "Brothers! The ungrateful British devils have surrounded us, don't panic, listen to my orders!" Then he began to assign tasks: "Wang Jia Gui, take the sniper team to the rooftop, if the British dare to fire at us like we do, you take out their leader first!"
"Yes!" Wang Jiagui replied loudly, then shouted: "Sniper squad brothers! Follow me!"
Dong Li Mao shouted again: "Zhao Yong, bring your squad, turn right and circle back to their rear, hurry!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yong replied, putting on his queue and running to the right.
"Kao, Wang Jia Gui's sharp knife squad two classes are handed over to you, hold on here, don't let the British devils get close to the vehicles and ammunition!"
"Yes!" Gu Hao responded with a single word and immediately dispatched men to guard each intersection.
"Nobody fires without my order!" Dong Li Mao carried the rocket launcher, with his brothers following behind him. Zhang Da Li held a machine gun in both hands and followed closely on his left side, while Hu San walked on his right side.
"Stop! One more step forward and the British will open fire!"
"Damn it, fake foreign devil! What are you yelling about? You ask them, why do these British devils surround our special agent squad?" Dong Li Mao stopped at a distance of several dozen meters from the British army, aiming the rocket launcher on his shoulder at a jeep in front.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the lights of the jeep were shining brightly, making it impossible for Dong Li Mao to see who the commanding officer was coming from in front.
Skot got down from the jeep, walked to the front of the jeep lamp, stood with his feet apart and shouted a few words. The interpreter immediately shouted towards Dong Li Mao: "The general said that your men robbed the military vehicles and ammunition materials of the war vehicle regiment! He wants you to hand over the robbers for punishment!"
"What if I don't hand him over? What does he want to do?" Seeing Scott, Dong Li Mao really didn't expect Scott to personally come and ask for punishment, it seems that the situation is indeed very severe, but he is not afraid.
After listening to Scott's words, the translator shouted again: "The general said that he only pursued the people who robbed the warehouse, and did not hold anyone else responsible! Let Dong Lianchang put down the rocket launcher, and talk things over!"
"It wasn't me who looked for him, it was he who came looking for me! Tell him that I ordered my brothers to do this and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If he insists on investigating the responsibility, bring his troops over to capture me! I'd like to see if this big fellow in my hands agrees or not!" Dong Li Mao said, aiming the rocket launcher at Scott's tall body, he really wanted to try out the power of the thing on his shoulder.
Pan Guangzu stepped forward and shouted at the opposite side: "It was me who led the people to do it! It has nothing to do with Lian Chang! If you want to catch someone, catch me!"
"Fatty, get out of here! Hu San, pull the steward back! It's not his turn to speak yet!" Dong Li Mao roared.
Hu San rushed forward and pulled Pan Guangzu back: "Quickly go back, Director of Affairs, the Battalion Commander is furious."
Zhang Dalie let out a loud roar: "Lian Chang, we're going to take on the British! They've actually repaid kindness with enmity! Zhu Paichang died without closing his eyes in peace!"
"Shut up! Nobody fires a shot until the rocket on my shoulder is launched!" Dong Li Mao yelled back, then shouted towards the opposite side: "Fake foreign devil, you tell that son of a bitch Scott! This old man has decided to take this ammunition supplies for himself! If he wants it back from me, let him come and exchange it with his life!"
As both sides were at a stalemate, a junior officer ran up to Schott and whispered something in his ear.
Schultz was somewhat startled, shouted a few sentences, and the interpreter immediately cried out: "Dong Lianchang, the general said that as long as your men put down their guns! Then hand over the main culprit! Everything can be discussed, ammunition can be given to you!"
"Bullshit! I'm the one who's going to order my brothers to put down their guns! There's no way out! You tell Scott that there are at least ten sniper rifles aimed at his head! If he insists on making an arrest in front of my brothers, then his head is going to get blown off!" Dong Li Mao judged from the junior officer's fleeing and Scott's shocked reaction that Zhao Yong's men were already in position.
Schultz said something to the interpreter, who loudly shouted towards Dong Li Mao: "The general says that it's not impossible for you to get ammunition and supplies, but with a big battle imminent, your men have committed banditry. If he doesn't punish those responsible according to military law, he'll have no way to explain himself to his subordinates!"
"You tell him, let me hand over the person! First, get rid of the old man! Otherwise, as long as he dares to move my people, I'll fight him to the death!" Dong Li Mao now looked like a bandit, robbing someone's belongings, and still thought he was in the right.
At this time, reporters also surrounded them, and the flashlights kept flashing. Terry walked up to Dong Li Mao's side and asked: "Dong Lianzhang, what's going on? Why did General Scott bring people to surround you?"
"You should ask him, not me," Dong Li Mao replied.
"He's a general of the British Empire, you're being insubordinate! Aren't you afraid he'll report you to the military commander and have you court-martialed?" Terry seemed worried that Dong Li Mao would get into trouble and was intentionally reminding him.
"Scared? Haha... I, Dong, understand everything! The only thing I don't understand is what fear is! What's the big deal about offending someone? Today, I'm going to offend him! Let's see how that damned Scot dares to treat me!" Dong Li Mao said, standing with his feet apart, opening up his stance, aiming the rocket launcher at Scott, ready to pull the trigger and blow away the tall foreign devil in front of him.
Tairen helplessly ran towards Scott and exchanged a few words with him.
Scott shook his head and laughed a few times, said a few words to Terry, then turned around and got into the jeep.
Dong Li Mao watched as the jeep drove away, and the angry British soldiers around him also ran after it. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief and put down the rocket launcher on his shoulder.
Tai Li walked over to Dong Li Mao and said: "General Scott highly appreciates your courage in standing up for your own soldiers. He asked me to tell you that it is imperative to safely escort the journalists and missionaries to the headquarters of the Fifth Army." After finishing, she stared at the rocket launcher in Dong Li Mao's hand and asked another question: "If a real fight breaks out, will you really fire the rocket at General Scott?"
Dong Li Mao would not do such a thing, he still appreciates Scott's military integrity, so he replied to Terry: "If you have the opportunity to see him again, please tell him that I, Dong Jia Cheng, also admire his courage to die rather than abandon his comrades." After finishing speaking, Dong Li Mao loudly shouted to the brothers behind him: "Brothers must remember what happened tonight! No matter who it is, as long as he is a brother of our special forces unit, at the most critical moment, he cannot betray his own brothers! Whoever dares to lay hands on our brothers will be eliminated by us!"
"We will never betray our brothers! We will never betray our brothers!" All the warriors behind him raised their guns and shouted in unison.
The slogan "Never betray your brothers" has been remembered by every soldier in the Special Forces since then.
