Chapter 244: Shock on the Island
Although the battle did not last long, only one day and one night, it was clearly written in black and white in the newspaper.
The soldiers who were responsible for rescuing the hostages and the naval soldiers who bravely resisted suffered heavy casualties.
Following is the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this incident.
Lin Siqiao no longer had the heart to read the content of the statement. Her thoughts had long been interrupted by the words about the extremely heavy casualties.
With a "click" sound.
Lin Siqiao looked at the ink stains that continued to spread on the newspaper, and reacted belatedly.
Why did she suddenly burst into tears?
…
A dozen hours ago, Linjiao Island.
Not long after Lu Jianchuan sneaked into the patrol team, another comrade also sneaked in in the same way.
After a close investigation, Lu Jianchuan determined that all the hostages were placed on the first floor of the wooden building.
The tents behind the wooden building are the enemy troops stationed on the island.
Judging from the size of the tents, there are probably at least two companies of soldiers, which means that there are at least 200 enemy troops on the island.
Not far from the tent was where they stored weapons and ammunition. In addition to being heavily guarded, there were also several black-backed military dogs tied up.
There is no need to worry about this problem, Lu Jianchuan and others have already considered it in advance.
So before setting off, everyone's clothes had already been specially treated.
Even if they walked past the military dog at this moment, the dog would not have much reaction.
After finding out all the information, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
This is the time of day when people are most likely to feel sleepy. Listening to the yawns coming from the patrol team, Lu Jianchuan quickly made several gestures to his teammates.
The soldiers who received the combat information immediately fought with full strength.
Five minutes later, the enemy soldiers who were sleeping in the tent suddenly heard a deafening explosion!
Just when they were panicking and had no idea what was going on.
Several grenades and incendiary bombs emitting white smoke were thrown in from outside the tent.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After a few loud bangs, several large pits more than one meter deep were blown out on the ground.
Incendiary bombs play their greatest role in this closed and dry environment.
In just a dozen seconds, thick smoke billowed from the tent and the fire became more and more intense.
"Oh no! The enemy is attacking us!"
Hearing the sneak attack, the surviving enemy soldiers in the tent quickly picked up their weapons.
Soon, the tent was cut open by a sharp bayonet just as they stepped out of the tent.
The soldiers who had been lying in ambush outside went all out and fired at full speed!
People kept falling down.
The enemy soldiers in the tents who had not yet come out were so frightened by this series of surprise attacks that their legs went limp.
How could they know that the total number of soldiers landing on the island was only 21!
Under the cover of his comrades' firepower, Lu Jianchuan kicked the wooden door on the first floor open with force.
Without time to explain, he pressed against the wooden door and quickly waved to everyone.
"It's very dangerous here! Hurry up, everyone."
Hearing the long-lost local accent, everyone covered their faces and burst into tears. God knows how scared they were being imprisoned here.
Fortunately, they finally got what they were waiting for.
Everyone supported each other and followed Lu Jianchuan out of the wooden building.
“Bang! Bang!”
The two enemy soldiers in the sentry post pulled the trigger immediately, and several fishermen were shot and fell to the ground.
"The hostages have escaped! We can't let them get away alive!"
Just as the enemy soldiers in the sentry post were loudly informing their teammates, Lu Jianchuan turned over swiftly.
"Here, Captain, your gun!"
The observer threw the sniper rifle at his feet. At this distance, the 54 rifle in Lu Jianchuan's hand had no way of hitting the enemy.
Five seconds later, the observer reported the observed data one by one.
"Bang!"
Before the man could shoot again, Lu Jianchuan shot him in the head.
"Take them away quickly!"
"yes!"
Under the leadership of the observer, everyone quickly carried the injured villagers on their backs and ran to the edge of the dense forest in one go.
"Just keep going in this direction. Someone will pick you up near the reef on the beach."
"By the way, there are traps in the woods, so be careful."
“Go!”
After the observer finished speaking, he returned to the battlefield without looking back. Not only him, but all the villagers present could hear that the gunfire was much more frequent than before.
The soldiers might not understand what the enemy said before he died, but these fishermen have lived here for generations.
They have been dealing with each other for a long time, so they can understand each other to some extent.
"These people are already blood-thirsty, they won't let us leave alive."
The village chief glanced at the militia company and felt indescribably heavy.
However, before he could open his mouth, all the militiamen stood up spontaneously.
Everything that happened in the past few days lingered in everyone's mind like a nightmare.
I thought these people just imprisoned them here, but who knew... they were worse than pigs and dogs.
None of the girls they took away came back alive.
"Village Chief, we don't want to leave!"
"These guys destroyed our home and raped so many girls. We want to stay and avenge them."
"Village Chief, I won't leave either! I won't be able to rest in peace until I die if I don't avenge my daughter Dani!"
The man's shoulders were shaking. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but he really couldn't help it.
His daughter is only 15 years old! If he didn't kill these beasts and make them exterminate their offspring, he would never forgive himself.
The man's words made the villagers burst into tears.
Soon, everyone wiped away their tears. They had seen the resolute look in the soldier's eyes.
"Village chief, our militia has been practicing with guns for so long, let's have a good fight!"
"Yeah, we can't just walk away like this. Kill one to break even, kill two and we'll make a profit!"
"As long as we work together, we will definitely win this battle!"
Looking at the villagers raising their hands one after another, the village chief smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay! Then we will take revenge and injustice, and beat these shameless people to death!"
"yes!"
After the village chief had gathered the militia company and all the able-bodied men in the village, he glanced at his wife.
"Wife, you take the rest and go first."
"good--"
The village chief's wife sniffed, said something like "be careful", and led her men directly into the dense forest.
At this time, with the cooperation of the observer, Lu Jianchuan killed another enemy soldier in the sentry post and the enemy's deputy battalion commander on the second floor.
Without the fire suppression from the commanding heights, the soldiers below were obviously relieved.
However, many enemy soldiers in the tent still rushed out, even though the armory had been blown up by them in advance.
But what the soldiers didn't know was that there was a backup weapons and ammunition depot on the island.
The enemy troops who rushed out of the tents, relying on their large numbers and advanced weapons, quickly turned the situation around.
More and more soldiers were shot, but no one retreated.
From the moment they decided to land on the island, they were ready to sacrifice.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind me.
Just as the soldiers were about to open fire, the village chief said, "Don't shoot, it's us!"
The soldiers were stunned when they saw the villagers coming back.
"Why are you back? Evacuate immediately!"
But everyone pretended not to hear it. They all lay down and took the guns from the wounded soldiers.
Before I didn’t have a gun, I just got bullied.
Now that I have a gun, there is no reason to endure this anger.
Everyone gritted their teeth, with only one thought in their mind, and that was to kill these bandits!
The enemy soon realized that something was wrong. Could it be that China’s reinforcements had arrived?
"Captain, when will our reinforcements arrive? If they don't come soon, we won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Unlike China where every citizen is a soldier, many of the enemy's men were forced to join the army.
They had only learned shooting for a few days before going to the island this time, and their accuracy was no match for the Chinese.
“It should be soon!”
The enemy's leader glanced in the direction of the second floor and saw that the radio was in Deputy Battalion Commander Ruan's room.
More than forty minutes have passed since the war began, and the signal should have been sent out long ago.
But why haven’t the reinforcements arrived yet?
