Chapter 68: The Offensive (Three)

  "Squad leader... As the explosion sounded, the four soldiers of the 4th squad, who had just returned to their position, looked at their squad leader, who was already torn to shreds by the blast, and let out a loud cry..."

  "Comrades, avenge the squad leader, avenge the fallen warriors, kill...!" As the smoke dispersed, a section of the courtyard wall, which had been blown to ruins, slowly came into view. Guo Chengzhu, who could no longer hold back his excitement, let out a loud shout, grabbed a light machine gun and was the first to charge out of the trenches.

  "Charge!" In an instant, a company of soldiers who had been ready to go into action followed closely behind Deputy Regimental Commander Guo Chengzhu and surged forward under the cover of several heavy machine guns towards the breach which had already become a scene of devastation.

  "It's impossible, how could this be? How could the courtyard be bombed like this...?" Looking at the already ruined courtyard wall, seeing the corpses all over the ground and the wounded constantly crying out in pain, with severed limbs and broken arms everywhere, Feng Baotian stared blankly at everything in front of him, muttering to himself in disbelief.

  "Master, retreat quickly, the Red Army has arrived, we still have the backyard to defend... You two, take Master back immediately, the rest of you follow me to cover." As the shouting and killing sounds outside the courtyard grew louder, Feng Ba Tian, the captain of the personal guard, pointed at the two guards and shouted loudly. At the same time, he led the remaining members of the personal guard to gather the remaining scattered soldiers in the courtyard and retreat to the backyard.

  "Charge..." As the head of the Imperial Guard concentrated all the remaining guards in the backyard and closed the gate, a company of soldiers had already charged into the gap. In the anger of the soldiers, dozens of wounded who were wailing on the ground were undoubtedly solved by the soldiers. The backyard, which was heavily guarded by the enemy, was tightly surrounded by the soldiers.

  "Reporting to the captain, the enemies in the front yard have been completely eliminated. After a rough estimate, there should be around two hundred people. The remaining enemies have followed Feng Baotian and moved to the back yard. If nothing unexpected happens, they plan to hold out." Looking at the tightly closed big door of the back yard, Guo Chengzhu came to Zhang Hua's side after cleaning up the battlefield and reported loudly.

  "Ah, were the casualties among the warriors heavy?" Zhang Hua nodded and continued to ask.

  "Hehe, just think about it, the entire special task force only suffered a dozen casualties at most. At the beginning of the attack, 12 soldiers were sacrificed. And then, during the charge, another 4 soldiers were sacrificed. So far, a total of 16 soldiers have been sacrificed in the whole regiment, and 4 soldiers have been seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness." Deputy Regimental Commander Guo Chengzhu said excitedly.

  "Good, the attack was not bad. The siege war had such a small number of casualties, it's already very good. Old Guo, if I'm not mistaken, this Feng Baotian has a son in the Jinwei army as a brigade commander, he must be unwilling to be trapped in this courtyard, waiting for us to slowly eliminate him."

  "Camp leader, you mean that Feng Baotian will break through." Upon hearing Zhang Hua's words, Guo Chengzhu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

  "What do you think? Don't forget, he still has a son who is a brigade commander in the Shanxi Army. Can he be willing to die at our hands so easily? Communicator, immediately pass on the order to the instructor guarding the back door: if the enemy breaks out from the back door, except for leaving one row to put up symbolic resistance, the rest of the troops will be arranged by the instructor himself to set up a pocket array at the back door. No matter how many people Feng Baotian sends out, we'll take them all down, not one can escape. As for the remaining people here, they will continue to attack under the leadership of the deputy regiment commander." Regiment Commander Zhang Hua shouted loudly.

  "Yes, Battalion Commander..." Communications officer Wang Dog Egg led the order and left.

  "Old Guo, still the old tactics, order the artillery to cover, continue to attack for me. But you must control the casualties of the troops. Even if this Feng Baotian doesn't want to break out, we will make him break out." Zhang Hua turned around and ordered his deputy regiment commander Guo Chengzhu as he watched Wang Goudan leave.

  "Yes, Battalion Commander, you can rest assured..." Deputy Battalion Commander Guo Chengzhu replied excitedly, turning around to command the troops that had already charged into the front yard to continue their attack.

  At this time, in the backyard of the Feng family compound, there was indeed a scene of chaos. Feng Baotian, who had been rescued by the head of the Imperial Guard, sat silently in the main hall with a gloomy face, thinking about possible countermeasures. In the inner courtyard, more than ten concubines dressed up and gathered together, listening to the sound of gunfire outside the yard, constantly crying in front of Feng Baotian.

  "Damn it, what's with all the crying? The Communist army hasn't even arrived yet! Captain Wang, get them all out of here for me, they're driving me crazy!" Feng Baotian was furious as he listened to the constant wailing around him and bellowed orders at his personal guard captain standing beside him.

  "Yes, sir..." Suddenly, the previously noisy hall became quiet.

  "Captain Wang, how many more men can we still count on to continue fighting in the rear courtyard?" Feng Ba Tian raised his head and asked the loyal guard captain in front of him, looking at the empty hall.

  "Sir, plus the Imperial Guard. The entire rear courtyard, and there are 280 men who can still continue to fight. Sir, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it?" After finishing speaking, the commander of the Imperial Guard thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively.

  "Speak up, what's the time now? Say whatever you want." Feng Baotian nodded and said impatiently.

  "Yes, sir, I think we should break out immediately. The Red Army outside not only has a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but also mortars. We are now trapped in the courtyard, at most we can hold on for half an hour. So I think we should break out, find Young Master and let him come back to avenge us." The head of the bodyguards quickly expressed his own thoughts.

  "Haha, breakout, Captain Wang, didn't you realize that the Red Army outside the courtyard is after my life? Can he really help us succeed in breaking out?" Feng Baotian sneered upon hearing Captain Wang's suggestion.

  "Master, we still have over 200 men and every one of them is well-trained. I just observed that the Red Army has withdrawn most of its troops from the rear gate to concentrate their forces for a frontal attack. Now there are only a few dozen Red Army soldiers left at our rear gate. If you agree, Master, I am confident that I can lead my brothers to protect you and break out." Captain Wang said firmly.
