126: 30 people VS 1000 people, the advantage is mine!
Huang Yanbing's men were divided into 8 squads.
The task he assigned to each squad was: free combat.
As long as they saw the American military, and as long as they had weapons, they were to engage directly.
In a simple sentence: kill on sight!
Because at this point in time, anyone who could appear on the streets of Alice Springs and take hostile action against them would definitely not be ordinary civilians.
With the 8 behemoths acting as invincible charging meat shields, the 8 squads encountered almost no obstruction.
The behemoths could charge forward with their bodies, holding massive military shields or even car doors as cover. If they acquired a heavy machine gun or even a Gatling gun, it would be as if they had divine aid, making them unstoppable.
The only thing that could cause enough damage to the behemoths was a direct hit from a shell.
But in an environment like a town, and at close range, it was almost impossible to hit a behemoth with artillery fire.
And once a behemoth got close, it was the end for their opponents.
Following behind the behemoths, the men of the 3rd Platoon were mainly responsible for taking potshots, sniping, throwing grenades, deploying smoke bombs, firing rocket launchers, and providing combat support.
The behemoths could even withstand the machine gun fire of an armored vehicle, charge up to it, and then bend the machine gun barrel with a single punch.
Who wouldn't be terrified by such horrific destructive power? Who could withstand it?
So at first, the American military, relying on their numerical superiority, adopted a siege mode against the 8 squads. However, after suffering heavy casualties, even the most seasoned veterans couldn't help but feel fear, dread, and the urge to desert.
Finally, when the fear accumulated to a certain extent, the remaining American military lost all will to fight. Large numbers of soldiers collapsed at the first touch and fled without a fight.
It eventually turned into a famous scene of thirty people chasing down hundreds of scattered American military.
The entire battle lasted no more than half an hour, and the entire 1000-strong American military was completely routed, bringing the battle to an end.
Such incredible efficiency occurred on this very night.
Of course, annihilating and driving out the American military was only the first step.
Inside the largest church in Alice Springs.
More than a thousand local residents were sitting dejectedly inside. They had been confined here for several days, all their communication tools confiscated, completely unaware of the developing situation outside.
They were restless and uneasy, unsure when the occupiers would kill them, as in their eyes, those people were bloodthirsty demons.
But late tonight, as most people were drowsy, violent gunfire suddenly erupted on the street outside the cathedral.
Many were startled awake, then their hearts filled with joy and anticipation.
Could it be that the country finally sent troops to rescue us, and they've now fought their way into the town?
Then, more sounds of combat appeared, getting closer and closer to the cathedral.
At this point, something even stranger happened.
Several American military soldiers guarding the church seemed to have seen something; their expressions were panicked. As the gunfire outside approached, they abandoned the more than a thousand hostages inside the cathedral and simply ran away.
Huh?
As everyone was wondering whether to go out and check the situation, someone else appeared at the cathedral entrance.
They were three people wearing uniforms similar to those of the American military, but with slight differences in detail. Each of the three held an automatic rifle and was fully armed.
The leader of these three scanned the entire cathedral and spoke loudly:
“I am the Platoon Leader of a certain platoon in a certain unit of the Anti-War Army. My surname is Huang, and my name is Huang Yanbing. I am here to rescue you.”
Ah?
What?
Huang Yanbing's words left the thousand-plus people momentarily bewildered.
What does he mean?
The Anti-War Army came to rescue them?
Wasn't it the Anti-War Army that occupied Alice Springs before?
Huang Yanbing seemed to understand their confusion and explained further:
“It's like this... The people who previously occupied the entire town and declared themselves to be the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Division of the Anti-War Army were imposters. The People's Army does not have a formation like the 3rd Infantry Regiment.”
“The American military's objective was to carry out terrorist attacks and frame the People's Army.”
“The People's Army has always wanted to rescue everyone after learning what those people did.”
Huang Yanbing's words sparked a flurry of discussion.
Many people suddenly understood.
Indeed, those people had previously claimed to be the American military, but their ethnic composition was predominantly Caucasian and Black, which was very different from the Anti-War Army, which was mainly composed of yellow-skinned people.
Moreover, the residents of Alice Springs had previously interacted with the Anti-War Army, and the demeanor of that force was also very different from that of the American military.
Anti-War Army soldiers often had a kind attitude towards ordinary people, while the American military was cold and bloodthirsty.
Realizing they were saved, many people wept bitterly, and the entire cathedral was filled with uncontrollable wails.
Huang Yanbing cleared his throat loudly, quieting the cries, and then asked:
“Is there anyone in this church who is a public official from the town?”
“The mayor, the police chief, anyone like that will do.”
A man in a tie, around fifty years old, stood up and raised his hand.
“Hello, Officer Huang, I am a councilor of the Alice Springs Town Council. The townspeople call me ‘Old John’. I can follow your arrangements.”
Huang Yanbing nodded.
“Very good. You take these ordinary townspeople and come to the street with me. I have something to announce to you.”
As Huang Yanbing and the more than a thousand people behind him walked out of the cathedral, in other parts of the town, large numbers of residents, rescued by other squads, also emerged from their places of detention and came to the streets.
Ten thousand people filled the streets of the entire town.
Huang Yanbing stood on top of a captured armored vehicle, holding a large megaphone, and began to speak.
