Episode 53: One person below, ten thousand people above

Eight People's Guards' military vehicles drove along the winding mountain road. Suddenly, one in the front was "kan" and the vehicles behind stopped one after another.

A soldier wearing a steel helmet stood in the middle of the road, holding a gun in his right hand and holding a small flag in his left hand.

On the left is an anti-tank fortification, with half a concrete bunker exposed on the rock. In the shooting port, the 57mm anti-tank gun was shining with a cold metallic light, and the muzzle pointed at the truck at the top. On the right, there was also a small bunker on the roadside near the cliff, with machine guns aiming at the convoy.

The soldier ran over with a rifle. Seeing the stomachache in the passenger's passenger, he saluted first and asked:

"Sir, there is the fortress area ahead. You have your ID, pass, and orders to dispatch troops. Please show me your questions."

I feel so sad that I can’t say it’s good, so how can I get a pass or a command to dispatch troops!

A commando veteran was driving next to him, and he said quietly:

"Sir, let's clean up this clip?"

I shook my head with a stomachache, and looked at the continuous anti-tank bunkers and machine gun forts in front of me. I knew in my heart that even if I took this one, I would never be able to break through. These fortifications were all blocking enemy tanks. Even the tanks could not break through. Only these trucks were not enough to get between the teeth.

He rolled down the car window, handed out his ID first, and said:

"We received a call from the fortress, which came temporarily, and there were no passes or orders to transfer troops. Can I make a call?"

The guard checked his ID carefully, looked at the photo for a long time before handing it back to him, and asked:

"Sir, who is the order given to you?"

"Well," said with a stomachache and his eyes rolled, "It was us who went to the fortress. He was ordered to transfer us into the fortress and exchange defenses with the imperial guards inside. You can tell if you call him."

The guard heard that he asked the People's Guards and the Imperial Guards to change their defenses, and he was a little suspicious. He took the opportunity to say:

"Sir, Mr. Xiang has no office in our fortress, so it's hard to find me. I'll help you pick up our fortress commander, Lord Shi."

As he said that, he went into the bunker without looking back.

I complained in my stomach and my heart. Once I hit it, I will definitely be there. I will most likely reveal it. It is also dangerous to be in the adults.

The plan was too hasty at that time. I never expected that the anti-tank bunker on the roadside would come out to investigate. But it is no wonder that for no reason, so many military vehicles headed straight to the fortress. In this extraordinary period, anyone who was responsible would come out to investigate.

Inside the bunker, the soldier listened to the sound that must be made in the microphone in shock:

"Listen, no one here ordered the People's Guard to come up! It's even more impossible to change defenses with the Imperial Guard! Stop them! No matter what they say, you must not let them come up! They will break through and fire!"

"Yes! Yes! Obey orders!"

He hung up the phone and directly sounded the alarm. The soldiers in the bunker jumped up, grabbed their helmets and put them on. The artillery focused on guarding the anti-tank guns, and a base shell was brought up. In the machine gun fort, the machine gunner also pulled the bolts and prepared to shoot. As a result, the series of bunkers that went up the mountain were also on high alert.

His stomachache and his head buzzed, and his face became sweaty. He watched several soldiers running out of the bunker ahead, carrying Lu Chai on the road. The loudspeaker in the bunker shouted loudly:

"Warning you, don't go further, otherwise we will fire!"

I had a stomachache and my head stuck out of the car window and shouted back:

"Stay in the car, don't get out!"

He was afraid that a large number of soldiers would jump out of the car, which would stimulate the defenders in the bunker and cause machine gun fire.

I jumped out of the car with a stomachache, strode to the anti-tank fort, squatted down, and shouted at the cannon window under my feet:

"What are you doing? Want to rebel? Open the door!"

The artillery inside saw that his face was almost against the muzzle, and he became more and more nervous, and he looked at their squad leader. The squad leader of the fort also lay on the gun window and said to his stomach ache:

"We have received the commander's order and do not allow you to go up the mountain!"

With a stomachache, I pinched my epaulette and shouted:

"Bastard, have you seen the military rank? I am a dignified lieutenant colonel. You are a little sergeant. Do you just let me lie down and talk to you? Open the door! I called him and told me!"

The squad leader hesitated, his stomach aches and shouted:

"What are you afraid of? I'm alone and I don't have a gun in my hand. Are you afraid that I will take the bunker alone!"

The door opened, and my stomach hurt and went down into the bunker. I raised my hand and threw the squad leader's big mouth.

"Ah!" The squad leader took two steps back, covered his face, and placed his hands on the gun holster.

"What are you doing? Exit the gun? Okay, you can take it out," he pointed at his collar with a stomachache and pushed forward step by step, "Do you recognize what this means? People's Guard! Security Team! What is the security team doing? Do you know? Why are we not coming to the mobile team this time, but the security team?... and also drawing guns with the commander? I see that the commander rebelled, and you all learned it with it, right?"

The squad leader was shocked by his mouth, "Why did he come here this time?" and "Commander Shi rebelled". The soldiers in the bunker also looked at him blankly and began to chew the meaning of these words.

My stomach hurts and holds the big brim hat and says:

"We are here this time, Shi Bicheng is the one who is investigating Shi Bicheng! You also called him and asked him, can he let us go up? You have already alerted the enemy! ... Shi Bicheng is suspected of surrendering to the enemy. If the explosion of the No. 6 arsenal of Dinghuaimen is a part of him! He wants to sell the Zijin Mountain Fortress and His Majesty to the Qing barbarians together. Are you going to follow him? Ah? Do you think the Ming soldiers are not satisfied and want to be Tartar soldiers?"

He grabbed the phone and handed it to the squad leader, shouting:

"Hurry up, while the fortress has not been sold yet, release the alert!"

The squad leader's face was sweating, so he took a step back:

"I... the orders we received cannot be changed at will... Sir, we don't know so much about soldiers. If we violate the command of our superiors, we cannot afford to be guilty!"

The stomachache was so urgent that I knew that one more second delay would make the adult more dangerous. He kicked the shell box and asked loudly:

"Who can command you except Shi Zhicheng?... Her Majesty the Queen? She is the Supreme Commander, right?"

The squad leader was startled and stammered:

"This...we have never...it's too..."

My stomach ache without saying a word, picked up the microphone and said:

"Please pick me up the fortress switchboard!...Please pick up your Majesty for me."

Everyone in a bunker looked at the lieutenant colonel in a dumbfounded manner.

...This is too awesome. A lieutenant colonel called Her Majesty the Queen if he said he was fighting... He used to say that the People's Guard was favored, but he didn't expect it to be so!

The squad leader's face was as white as paper, his chest was beating violently, thinking that he was bluffing or playing real?... He had never spoken to Her Majesty the Queen! If Her Majesty the Queen really overthrew the Commander's order and let himself go up the People's Guard to go up the mountain, would he listen or not?

Although Your Majesty is the supreme commander of the army, it is nominal. The only ones who can directly command are the Imperial Guards and the People's Guards. Ordinary Army has not been mobilized by Your Majesty! I am just a little sergeant. Could it be that I set a precedent for myself?

His stomach hurts so much that he is extremely nervous. Although he is only two levels lower than Xiang Xiaoqiang, he is not like Xiang Xiaoqiang, and he has never spoken to Her Majesty the Queen.

Zhu Yourong's voice appeared on the other end of the phone, and she looked very nervous:

"Hello?"

My stomachache stabilized my breathing and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, Commander of the People's Guard Security Team, Du Teng."

He reported what happened here in whispers, and the defenders all over the bunker were breathing, and they did not dare to breathe.

Then, his stomach ache waved to the squad leader and pointed at the microphone.

The squad leader slowly moved over with a red face, holding the microphone in both hands, and trembling with his voice:

"Hello……"

He said kindly on the other end of the phone:

"May I have your name?"

The squad leader swallowed his dry saliva and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I... I am humble... Zheng Sangui..."

"Haha, my surname is Zheng, then we are half of our family... Can you hear my voice? How about it, don't you doubt it?"

Zheng Sangui heard it clearly. He had heard the voice of His Majesty on the radio for countless times, how could he hear it wrong! He stood at attention and shouted:

"I'm not afraid to doubt my humble position!"

"Sangui," Zhu Yourong's voice whispered, "I tell you a secret... Now Shi Bicheng has been in chaos with the Imperial Guards, and I have been under house arrest. I still have to open the fortress and let the Qing barbarians come in... Sangui, do you know that my fate now, the fate of the fortress commander, and the fate of the Ming Empire are in your hands."

Zheng Sangui's hands holding the microphone kept trembling, his face twitched, and two big tears flowed down, and he burst into tears in excitement:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Sangui is guilty... Sangui knows what to do... Don't worry..."

"Well, I'll be relieved with you," Zhu Yourong whispered, "Sangui, then please... Go back and get me here to receive a medal."

Zheng Sangui held the phone that had already hung up and looked around excitedly. The whole class of brothers in the bunker looked at him with envy. Zheng Sangui wiped away the tears from his face and shouted:

"What are you waiting for? Release the alarm! Remove the roadblocks! Let the heads of the People's Guards go and save His Majesty!"

...

Shi Bicheng, the commander of the fortress, received a call from the bunker on the winding mountain road, and sat restless in the office, like an ant on a hot pan. He watched the lower-level officers come in and carry documents, and the papers are sprinkled on the ground, and he feels even more irritable. Although the commander is still commanding and resisting, he is already preparing to evacuate.

He cursed Zheng Gongyin and Mrs. Li’s two relatives in his heart. The woman had no courage and no sense of consciousness. In a palace change, they made him like a house-playing house. It would be fine if he was placed under house arrest and took His Majesty into control, but he had not yet been prohibited from calling. Now His Majesty calls everywhere, making everyone in all departments know. Well, forget it, since the Imperial Guard has controlled the fortress, everyone wants to leave, and nothing is wrong for the time being. But who knows who helped His Majesty transfer the People’s Guard. Fortunately, he ordered to block it just now, and nothing happened.

He thought that if he had been involved from the beginning, the palace transformation would have been much more "professional", at least he would have to cut off the phone in His Majesty's room from the beginning. But then again, if they had invited them to participate, they would not dare to do so.

Shi Bicheng really wanted to remind Zheng Gongyin and Mrs. Li to cut off His Majesty's phone number and not think that if the Imperial Guard controls the fortress, everything will be fine. But he dared not. In this way, even if he participates in it, even if he retreats to the mainland, His Majesty will still be His Majesty, and he has the People's Guard in his hand, so it is certain that the two foreign relatives are His Majesty's relatives, and they will not be like that. If outsiders get involved, they will be stupid. Now that they have not participated, they will be considered "inaction" at most, and if the law does not rule the people, they will not be like this. They will stop the People's Guard from going up the mountain. That is the first thing they lie. In fact, there is no order to "change defense"!

But Shi Bicheng thought about it before and after, but he didn't expect that Xiang Xiaoqiang was already in the fortress and had already taken down several levels, so he was waiting to drive straight in.

...

Xiang Xiaoqiang was the same as Shi Bicheng at this moment, and he was also in a hurry. He originally thought that reinforcements could come in 15 minutes, but after waiting for more than twenty minutes, he finally saw a brigade of reinforcements pouring into the small hall.

With a stomachache, she simply told Xiang Xiaoqiang about it. Xiang Xiaoqiang patted his shoulder with satisfaction and praised:

"It's handled well, it's worthy of being Ziteng!"

Then he looked at the watch and said:

"We can't delay any more. Now we are losing positions every second. We will take down the fortress first and then defend Nanjing! Start!"

The two doors were pushed open and the central command hall was displayed in front of you.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the noisy command hall coldly. It was no longer the previous command scene, but a chaotic situation. Only a few senior generals were mobilizing soldiers in front of the big map, and the others were running around to carry documents to burn. A few large boxes were placed on the ground, piles of documents were thrown in, and two soldiers were carried away when they were thrown away.
