Chapter 556: Closing the Door and Beating the Dog (4)
The radio waves quickly spread across the earth.
After receiving the signal, Tang Yantian immediately ordered the 1st Assault Group to launch an attack, aiming directly at Yingkou Wharf!
As Yin Xinjun's plane dived and strafed several times, the dock was now in chaos, with people pushing and trampling on each other, and cries, shouts, and curses intertwined.
The crews on several passenger ships were also panicked. They began to evacuate early, regardless of the fact that there were still many people on the dock who had not boarded the ship.
Some soldiers tried to climb onto the ferry, but the ferry had already started moving, so they could only hold onto the side of the ship and leave the dock with it. Some of them fell into the sea due to exhaustion. Others were shot by machine guns from planes and fell in a pool of blood.
After a while,
The tank group of the 1st assault group finally arrived at the dock first.
At this time, one passenger ship was unable to move due to damage, and the other four had already sped away from the dock.
At this time, the scene became even more chaotic. The people at the back were trying their best to squeeze forward, and the people in the front had no way to go. Many people were pushed to the ground and trampled on. The dock was filled with screams.
Some people even jumped into the water when they saw the situation was not good!
Dozens of tanks and armored vehicles from the tank regiment slowly drove towards the dock like steel giants. Their huge and bright headlights lit up at the same time, instantly illuminating the entire dock like daylight. The strong lights intertwined together to form a dazzling curtain of light, shining straight into every corner of the dock.
Regiment commander Cheng Yue, standing in the command vehicle, widened his eyes and looked at the shocking scene in astonishment.
The spacious dock was now crowded with people, and it was estimated that there were more than 10,000 people! These people were tightly packed together, and some were even squeezed so hard that they could hardly move. When they saw the chariots that were speeding and emitting a cold breath, they all showed panic and despair on their faces.
Some people began shouting loudly, trying to keep people around them calm; others collapsed to the ground in fear, without even the strength to stand up.
Some of them reacted quickly and raised the guns in their hands without hesitation. The action was quick and clear, as if this action had been rehearsed countless times. It was a gesture of surrender. Although others did not raise their guns, their faces were pale and they looked like zombies.
In the tank, Cheng Yue gave orders into the microphone.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot!"
At this time, the crowd was so dense that a random volley of bullets could knock down more than a dozen people!
During the civil war, the East Field Army was very particular about the policy of treating prisoners well! After all, for the soldiers at the bottom, they were also victims of the war, deceived by the National Government, and joined the Kuomintang troops in order to fill their stomachs!
Then, several trucks drove up from behind.
One of the trucks had four large speakers mounted on it.
An officer stood in the carriage and shouted into the microphone,
"The boats have already left. We have surrounded this place. There is no way to retreat. Stop doing stupid things. Put down your weapons. We, the Northeast Field Army, guarantee everyone's personal safety. Come here one by one in order and throw your guns on the roadside!"
These words were still very lethal. After all, no one wanted to die. The Kuomintang soldiers kept coming over to surrender their guns as required.
With the sound of hurried footsteps, the soldiers of the 9th Regiment of the 25th Division of the 75th Column also quickly rushed to the port!
The soldiers began to evacuate the crowded people in the port, escorting them away from the port in batches.
Yin Xinjun fired all his bullets at the passenger ship sailing on the sea, but the bombs and rockets were all used up in the first round of attack and did not cause much impact on the passenger ship.
Although he felt regretful in his heart, he could accept the result when he heard that the total number of people on the four passenger ships was less than 3000 when he circled over the passenger ships. Most of the nearly defenders in Yingkou stayed, and only a small number were withdrawn.
Yin Xinjun then flew away from the scene and rushed back!
now,
The Kuomintang soldiers and a small number of civilians at the port were escorted out in batches. Of course, most of these civilians were wives of officials or relatives accompanying the army.
A thin little boy in a military coat was mixed in with a group of captured soldiers. He was shivering, not sure if it was because of the cold or nervousness!
Suddenly, he rushed to a soldier from the East China Field Army who was holding a submachine gun and started crying.
“I’m not a soldier, please let me go!”
Sixteen-year-old Lei Weiming had the most devastating night of his life. When he and his parents were queuing up to board the ship,
A bomb dropped from the sky, and the dock was in chaos. He was separated from his parents by the crowd! No matter how he screamed, he could never find his family again!
The young soldier looked at Lei Weiming, whose face was blackened by the smoke, and the Chiang Kai-shek army woolen coat he was wearing, and his eyes flashed with disgust and aversion. He pushed him back without any hesitation!
On a tank parked on the road nearby, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment, Cheng Yue, was looking at the sea with a telescope. When he heard Lei Weiming's words, he frowned and said hurriedly,
"Comrade, wait!"
Then he raised his flashlight and shone it, saying,
"You're not a soldier, so what do you do?"
Both of them were speaking their local dialect, Cantonese, which no one else could understand!
Lei Weiming's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly,
"Brother, I'm working on a passenger ship, I'm really not a soldier!"
Cheng Yue nodded and said to the young soldier,
"I'm sorry, I want to take him away!"
Cheng Yue was somewhat surprised to meet a fellow villager in the Northeast. He was also from the Central Army. After being captured by the Japanese, he worked as a laborer in the Northeast and was later rescued by the God of Death!
The young soldier dragged Lei Weiming out of the team and brought him to Cheng Wei.
"Thank you, brother!"
Lei Weiming said gratefully!
Cheng Yue smiled and asked,
"how old are you?"
"16 years old!"
"Oh, the ship has already left, it probably won't come back. So, you stay here first. After a few days, when the situation in the Northeast stabilizes, I will send you back to the interior!"
Yin Xinjun flew the plane directly back to Mulan Airport. One of the advantages of the P51 is that it has a long range of up to 2700 kilometers, so there is no need to change airports!
Thousands of people ran away tonight. Although there are some small regrets, it does not affect the overall situation at all. The Liaoshen Campaign ended successfully, and the results achieved were even greater! The next step is to accelerate the development of military manufacturing and make some preparations for the upcoming Huaihai Campaign and Pingjin Campaign!
He came to the space and looked at the bus production line. This line filled the gap and produced buses that could carry 75 passengers. Now Yin Xinjun also planned to focus on the development of the civilian automobile field.
There are 5 sedans in his space! They were all captured before and are quite old. He has been planning to wait until Shenyang is liberated to see if he can get a latest model of sedan!
Buses are currently urgently needed for urban public transportation. The Mulan Special District alone needs at least several hundred of these buses to improve the public transportation system!
