[422] The capture and the war reporter group

And at this moment, a soldier pushed through the crowd and rushed in desperately, shouting: "It's bad, the big thing is bad, the 338e Division has entered the town of Clingington!"

As soon as the words were finished, the ground trembled, the ground trembled and the mountains shook. At the end of the line of sight, the faint yellow light of artillery fire rose, and several not-so-sturdy houses collapsed.

That direction is the entrance of Clancington Town!

No one expected that at this zero hour when everyone was asleep, Division 338e would surprise in!

The cavalry team advanced, the infantry team followed, and the artillery team stayed behind. The army commanded by Major General Miller entered Clinxington in such a posture.

The townspeople who gathered together to collect the money just now seemed like chickens out of their cages, panicking, clucking, and running around. Most of them subconsciously ran back to their houses, closed the door, and whispered trembling.

This is no wonder for them, they are all civilians, in the face of a terrifying war, shrinking their heads and hiding is the most normal reaction.

In contrast, the reaction of the earl's army was very unbearable, perhaps because Long Hao had just been captured, under the heads of the dragons, those fierce men with guns before could not organize any decent defense at all. , divided into several groups, and fled in the direction of the 338e Division's attack.

Li Enfu has a deep understanding of this. One second before, Sir Bo's soldiers were still interrogating the Russian, but the next second, they scattered like birds and beasts, scattered, and retreated in the opposite direction from the sound of the cannon. [

The top official was kind, he still remembered Li Enfu.While retreating, he waved his hands and ordered the two soldiers to clamp the stunned Yenfu.Follow yourself to escape.

After running away for a while, Li Enfu came back to his senses, and shouted at the officer who was "in charge of the overall situation", "Why didn't you fight? Why did you run?"

In Li Enfu's heart, Long Hao's army was a strong army, even if they were attacked by surprise, they should resist to some extent, so they were defeated without even firing a few shots, which really surprised him!

"Why don't you run?"

The officer turned around.He shouted: "The young master has been captured, the morale of the whole army is low, how to fight, stay here to die?"

Li Enfu was dumbfounded when he heard this: Indeed, Long Hao was captured by that black-clothed gang, and the troops below were considered high-quality if they didn't bomb the camp.And expecting them to organize formations against the 338e Division, that... what a dream!

There was the sound of cannons and the sound of horseshoes roaring from behind. Li Enfu followed the officer and rushed out from the other side of the town under the protection of dozens of soldiers.

pity.I don't know if it was because of bad luck, just after leaving the town, I ran into another team of 338e Division head-on, the number of which was several hundred, and now.The officers also ignored Li Enfu, and the few dozen remaining soldiers fell into pieces.Turn around and drill elsewhere.

The vigor of his movements and the swiftness of his escape are breathtaking!

What the heck!

Although Li Enfu was in his prime, he had never practiced 13 sets of radio gymnastics and had never received military training, so he stumbled in a panic, and at the same time, his back suddenly hurt and he was crushed by a federal soldier. Living.

The federal soldiers belonged to Miller's "divided troops". He said viciously: "Are you the remnant of the count?"

"No, no, puff, I'm Li Enfu, and I'm an American citizen!"

Li Enfu spat out a few mouthfuls of soil, and quickly defended: He is not stupid. In the midst of chaos, if he admits that he knows Long Hao, he is afraid that this little soldier will draw his gun and kill him!

How did Archimedes die, do you know? [

Li Enfu, who knows the past and the present, does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

"Look up, let me see!" the federal soldier shouted fiercely.

Who told Li Enfu to mix with the earl's soldiers just now? If he hadn't been dressed differently and had no weapons, he might not have been pressed to the ground just now, but had been rewarded with a peanut to see God.

"Yo, it turns out that they are Chinese. Hmph, I heard that the Earl of Beihai wanted to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act just for you?"

Seeing Li Enfu's 'Chinese face' clearly, the federal soldier sneered and slapped Li Enfu on the cheek contemptuously: "Tell me, does the Chinese Exclusion Act exist in the Federation? Do you really feel excluded and ostracized?"

The face was slapped again and again, as if hitting Li Enfu's heart. He dug his hands into the dirt on the ground, his body trembling. Although he tried his best to tell himself that he had to bear it, the cold and mocking words were like a knife. A poke at Li Enfu's sensitive soul!

"What do you think? We Chinese have not suffered much injustice, isn't it obvious? Ah!?"

Li Enfu raised his head suddenly, opened the little soldier's hand, and growled angrily.

"Yo, you have a temper? Grass, you yellow-skinned pig, you are looking for death!"

The white soldier was caught off guard, and was fired a few steps away. In his anger, he smiled ferociously, picked up his gun, and was about to shoot at Li Enfu: "Okay, I will help you!"

When he thought about it, killing a man of the yellow race was on the battlefield, what kind of a big deal could it be?

Just when Li Enfu's life was hanging by a thread, a majestic voice came from the horseback: "Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing here instead of hunting down the Earl's defeated soldiers? Which class are you in?"

"Ah, battalion, battalion commander?"

The little soldier jumped in fright, quickly put away his gun, and registered his own number: "My name is Sansini, and I'm in Class Three Company and Four..."

"Sensei, why don't you keep up with the big troops, what are you doing here? Who is he?" The battalion commander stopped his horse, swung his whip, and pointed at Li Enfu.

"Report to the battalion commander, he is Chinese, he is ... the earl's accomplice, I am about to execute him!"

"Nonsense, what qualifications do you have to execute someone? Arrest him, and after the Earl of Beihai is captured, he will be handed down by the superior!"

"Uh, yes!"

"Don't be unconvinced. I don't know what you think. Did you lose your mind when you robbed things before? You thought you could ransack your home if you killed someone? Major General Miller has issued a new order not to kill civilians who don't resist indiscriminately. Now There are so many pairs of eyes following us! Don't get me into trouble!" the battalion commander finished cursing.So he drove his horse and left without even asking Li Enfu's name.

Li Enfu, who escaped from the dead, had a blank mind.Let that Sansini be tied up with ropes, kicked and kicked away, just chewing in his heart: killing civilians indiscriminately!Loot property!This is not an army, this is clearly a bandit!Should the Chinese be slaughtered like pigs and sheep like the Indians?Well, what does that 'eye' refer to? Follow Division 338e.It makes them feel scruples... What is it?

"Haha, we are the eyes of justice, the embodiment of justice, everyone cheer up and take more representative photos, and I will give you bonuses from the Courier afterward!"

There are some people in the 338e Division troops that entered the town of Clinton.Not carrying a gun, but carrying a heavy camera, following the federal soldiers, eyes like stars in the dark night, observing the surrounding environment and all kinds of dynamics meticulously.

And the laugh just now was made by a brown-skinned young man in this group.

He is De Jong Wade.The editor-in-chief of the "San Jose Courier-Journal" who came to be a war correspondent in person.

"Mr. Wade, you really have a way. Now these big soldiers are much more polite to us!" A tabloid reporter followed Wade.Flattering in the mouth.

"Yes, I heard that a few days ago, several reporters from the "San Francisco Chronicle" died. Rumors seem to be that they were killed by those big soldiers... It's really frightening! I almost retreated..." Another A reporter from a tabloid clutched his chest, as if he still had lingering fears.

That's right, at the beginning of the Battle of the Mire in June, Commander Xia Bo was very annoyed by the reporters who took random pictures, so he secretly ordered his subordinates to use several firefights to send these noisy reporters to God. the largest number of journalists.

But later, when Wade came forward and had friendly consultations with Major General Miller, Miller agreed to allow Wade to organize a press corps of no more than 20 people to accompany the army to interview, Taking pictures with the army.

"With me here, such a tragic event will never happen again!"

Surrounded by war reporters from more than a dozen newspapers in the United States, Wade said in high spirits: "We will restore the true colors of the war and give the public a real picture! Like before, before I came, I heard that there were many people from the 338e Division. Officers and soldiers opened fire on innocent civilians in the town and robbed civilians of their property. This time, we need to get real evidence to see if they are so barbaric and unreasonable!"

"Yes, the news is to report the truth, not afraid of power, I admire you, Mr. Wade!" A hot female war reporter looked at Wade admiringly with an intoxicated expression on her face.

"Yes, if they still dare to act mischievously, my camera will never let them go!" Another war reporter raised the heavy camera on his chest and swore an oath.

"Ha ha."

Wade smiled and said, "I think the commanders of the army that hunted down the Earl of Beihai are not stupid. With us, they will definitely restrain themselves. Therefore, everyone needs to be more careful and bold in order to obtain explosive news! Of course, I do not advocate excessive risk-taking, because we are the elites of the media industry and the pioneers of journalists in the next century, no matter what we lose, it is a regret that cannot be made up for!"

Wade and the group of 'kings of the crown' felt good about themselves, but the federal soldiers on the side looked at them as disgusted and nauseated as if they were looking at flies.

Since entering the town of Clingington, Miller's troops have not encountered any decent resistance, or to be precise, they have not encountered many soldiers from the Earl's line. The heads of the delegation were pleasantly surprised.

After ordering to stop the bombardment, Commander Bresson leaned over to Major General Miller and said, "The general made a wise decision. He took advantage of the other party's rally and made a sudden attack. The effect is obvious!"

Miller smiled softly, and said very reservedly: "This is the result of a long-term layout over the past few days, and it is not beyond my expectation. Now that we defeated the Earl's soldiers and captured the Earl of Beihai in one fell swoop, our achievements will definitely be overshadowed." Mr. Xia Bo in downtown San Francisco."

"The general is lucky, I received a report that the rest of the troops have also invaded the town of Clinxington from all directions, forming a net of heaven and earth. Believe in the Earl of Beihai, it is difficult to fly!" Commander Jiu Ximi was very happy, from Since the pursuit of the Earl of Beihai, the soldiers under his command have always been at a disadvantage in confrontation with the Earl's soldiers, and the losses are not small, but tonight, they are destined to feel proud.Make a turnaround and get rid of the shame.

"Quickly control the town. Don't disturb the people too much! Search for the earl's soldiers, don't let anyone slip through the net! Those who resist with weapons, don't show mercy..."

Miller looked like he was planning a strategy, and finally confessed: "Remember, we already have a press corps in our team. You go and explain to the other soldiers who have just arrived. Be restrained and don't get caught!"

Kusami glanced at a war correspondent not far away who was holding up a camera and frantically taking pictures.Disgust appeared in his eyes: "General, I don't quite understand why you let these annoying reporters follow us?"

Bresson also said: "If it were me, I would learn from the teacher and kill them with a knife in my hand. It would be nice to be quiet!"

Miller sneered.Said: "Two heads, you only considered the present, but did not consider the long-term. These reporters are still very useful. You simply killed them blindly. You can only exchange for the momentary peace in front of you, but the risk is very great. !"

"What risk?"

"I'm afraid you don't know the energy of these reporters? Especially the "San Jose Mercury News", because they successfully reported the bombardment crisis of the Benson fleet, they are already very famous in New York! We kill people happily. But the consequences Poor, as long as this matter is exposed, it will be a big scandal and will definitely be condemned by the international community. At that time, let alone a promotion, even the current position, hehe, will not be able to keep it!"

"Hey, then we have robbed three towns and killed a lot..."

"That's why I will negotiate with the editor-in-chief of the "Courier" and let him join our team to report some positive things for us and eliminate negative news. I will also Provided to this editor-in-chief named Wade..."

"Wonderful, so wonderful! In this way, the teacher will be in a state of distress, and he will leave without food!"

"Who says it's not? I heard that many European countries have sent joint observation missions, and they are stationed in San Francisco. They are quite dissatisfied with the damage caused by Xia Bo's troops to San Francisco!"

"Great, fortunately we didn't go to San Francisco, otherwise we would be unlucky with Xia Bo! Hehe, the general is really far-sighted. Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years. These reporters, now, all of them are treasures? "

Miller narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Hey, who said otherwise?"

The turmoil in Clinxington Town did not end until around 13:2 a.m. on the 338th. The five-way troops of the 38e Division gathered, occupied and controlled Clinxington Town, captured 9 Earl soldiers, and killed [-] of them. The results... Brilliant!

Because of the double influence of the superiors' warning and the press corps, this time, the federal soldiers did not "bloodbath" the town, but politely "invited" all the people in the town out, gathered in the small square, and shared with the captives. pile up.

Doing so can not only count the number of people, but also reduce the probability of hiding for earl soldiers. This order by Major General Miller is very popular among the soldiers.

"The second regiment...have you captured the Earl of Beihai?"

"The third regiment...have you captured the Earl of Beihai?"

This is an unprecedented "big victory" for the 338e Division against the Earl of Beihai since the beginning of the Mire Battle. cheek.

Especially these two regiment leaders who were eager to make meritorious deeds, every time a battalion commander came to report, they asked the most and loudest questions, which were the above two sentences.

Naturally, there was only one thing that could drive them crazy: the Earl of Beihai hadn't been caught yet!

When the ministries came back, the two regiment leaders completely gave up, and vented their anger on several prisoners of the earl family.

"It's useless to torture them, they are dead soldiers, they are very stubborn!" Miller thought for a while, and said: "I have to use this trick!"

"Which trick?"

"Tell the townspeople of Clinxington, whoever can provide clues to find the Earl of Beihai will be rewarded!"

"Oh, it's so simple, why didn't we think of it?"

"Because it's 2 o'clock in the morning, when people are sleepiest in the day, it's common for people to lose their minds."

"Then why the general?"

"Because I practiced..."

The result came out soon. For the sake of reward, Johnny took the lead in telling about Long Hao's kidnapping, and he waved his hands vigorously, trying to describe how miraculous the "big bird" that kidnapped the earl was. , How far to fly.

"During the speech... was taken away by a 'big bird'?!"

This result stunned the three of Miller, who almost thought that the black man who kept giggling was playing tricks on them. However, after many times of evidence collection, the answer they got was really this: the Earl of Beihai was captured by a mysterious man using smoke!

"Who did it?"

"How dare you steal our business?"

After asking a few more people, his eyes finally focused on the 'assassin associate' who had been captured by the Earl's soldiers earlier.

"Are you Russian?" Miller interrogated himself.

"...I belong to the Black Clothes Gang, please give me a good time!" The gang was injured, and after a few minutes of torture, he finally recruited.

Black gang?

What kind of gang is this?

Why kidnap the Earl of Beihai?

And the time was chosen just right, it happened to strike before our side attacked, and kidnapped the earl first, it was simply... the enemy's shit stick!

Miller, Joshmi, and Bresson looked at each other. When they were confused, a capable battalion commander came up with a Chinese man tied behind him. In addition, there was a bag held by several soldiers. Heavy red cloth.

"This is?"

The three of Miller frowned, wondering what the battalion commander was up to.

"This man's name is Li Enfu. Tonight's speech is... and this big red cloth, with the signatures of the whole town on it, supports 'anti-racial discrimination'..." The capable battalion commander also spoke clearly and straightforwardly. Going to the topic, in 2 minutes, I explained the matter clearly. (to be continued...)
