Two soldiers of the second company alone escorted a prisoner to Gaoyang.
The prisoner seemed to be in his forties, with big arms and round waist. He was very strong. His face was just a fierce face naturally grown. At the moment, there was no ferocity at all, but his face was panic. When he was sent to Gao Yang, his legs even trembled.
After fighting for so long, the skeleton Gang suffered a lot of casualties, but the casualties of the pirates were even greater. However, Gao Yang didn't understand why the pirates who should have dispersed in a crowd tomorrow morning could still fight down.
Pirates have little combat effectiveness, but street battles take place at a very close distance. Most of the pirates' shooting skills are not good, but more people shoot, which will naturally pose a great threat, and they all hide in fortification bunkers, so it will be difficult to fight.
What Gao Yang wants to know most is why those pirates can persist for so long.
Looking at the pirate in front of him, Gao Yang didn't ask anything. He first pointed his shotgun at the pirate leader's head without intimidation. He just said faintly: "I ask, you answer. If I ask, you don't answer, I'll blow your head right away. I promise I won't ask the same question twice, so you have to seize every opportunity to answer me."
The pirate leader nodded repeatedly and replied in heavily accented English, "yes, yes, I know, but the skeleton Gang doesn't kill prisoners."
The purpose of the skeleton Gang is not to kill as long as they surrender. Although there is no preferential treatment for prisoners, they can do it without killing prisoners.
Gao Yang sniffed and said, "obviously, we are not from the skeleton Gang, so don't think about whether to kill the prisoners. Now, tell me your name."
"Eddie, my name is Eddie."
Gao Yang nodded and said, "this is a good start, Eddie. I know you are a pirate leader. Now tell me, how many people do you have? The area you are responsible for."
Aidid people surrendered. At this time, the speed of answering questions was also fast. He immediately said, "there are almost 500 people under my command, and more than 200 people have been killed and injured. Now all the remaining 300 people have surrendered under my leadership."
Aidid's surrender immediately stopped resistance in a large area. Now the skeleton gang has taken over the area they are responsible for defending. Generally speaking, it is almost a quarter of the area of gaisalai. On the side not close to the sea, after Aidid's surrender, the skeleton gang has almost occupied half of gaisalai.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang said, "tell me your battle plan and be more detailed."
Eddie screamed: "Our battle plan is to stick to it. You came too fast. You arrived before we were ready. The British brought tanks and armored vehicles. We thought it would be easy to win, but we didn't expect that all the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by you. At that time, I was about to leave gaisalai, but the British said that their reinforcements would arrive soon and will completely solve the skeleton gang No, and they'll have helicopters, so, uh, so I took someone to stay. "
Eddie looked very depressed. After that, he waved his hand and said, "as a result, the British helicopter didn't arrive. Your helicopter arrived and the sea was blocked. I just couldn't withdraw if I wanted to."
"If you don't want to fight, why don't you surrender at the beginning?"
Eddie looked sad. He didn't want to answer, but considering the consequences of not answering, he still bowed his head and said, "the British guarantee that their helicopters and reinforcements will arrive today, and you can't beat gaisalai in a day. As long as we insist, we will be able to defeat you, but you fight too hard, my people can't hold on, and too many people die."
Eddie is quite single. Since he said it, he said it out. After waving his hand, he said with fear: "Your people are too fierce. I was going to retreat back to the British position, but I was surrounded before I started. I looked that if I didn't surrender, I would die immediately. Of course, I had to surrender. Since I surrendered, my people couldn't die with me, so I ordered everyone to surrender together."
After sighing, Aidid said, "we are pirates, but our people don't know how to fight, and it's normal to surrender."
It seemed that he was explaining his surrender. Aidid added another sentence after saying that, but Gao Yang was not interested in Aidid's psychological activities. He immediately said, "how many British people are there?"
After thinking for a moment, Eddie said hesitantly: "There should be another 200 people. They were killed by artillery on the first day, but I don't know how many people. In addition, they were killed by mortars yesterday, and others were killed in tanks. I saw it with my own eyes. About 10 people died yesterday. Today, 20 people were sent to my position to help defend. Now the position is open All of them were taken by you, so those twenty people must have died. In all, more than 50 British people have died. When we sat together to discuss yesterday, the British leader was very angry. He warned us that if we surrender, even if the war is over, they will not let go of those who surrender. "
Gao Yang nodded and said, "well, your honesty makes me very happy, so you have a lot of chances to survive. Now tell me, some of the British belong to the homzny mercenary regiment. How much do you know about it?"
Eddie shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about."
Gao Yang thought and said, "it's the sniper. Do you know the sniper? Many snipers are together. Do you know where they are?"
Eddie suddenly realized on his face and said: "I see. Are you talking about those mysterious people with guns equipped with sight glasses? I know. I know. There are many of them. I have seen them twice, but these people are mysterious. They walk around the city and don't stay with others when fighting. Today, there are three such people in my defense line and their companions. Well, yes, they should There should be seven people. These seven people are together. They are always together, but there are only three people with sight guns. When you say so, I remember that these people don't seem to listen to the British head. The British head has something to discuss with them. I've seen them. "
Gao Yang could not help but get nervous and said, "what about the rest? Where are the rest of the mysterious guys?"
Aidid pointed to the West and said, "over there, at the edge, yesterday someone got into the tank and died. Those guys are angry. They are all on the west side of the city."
Gao Yang touched his chin and said, "now it's fighting. Your defense is lost. Why don't those mysterious British people come to help?"
Eddie spread his hand and said: "The British won't help. I asked everyone to defend the whole city for a long time, but the British refused. They just care about their own area. I said if they didn't help, I would withdraw with my own people. They had no choice but to send 20 people here. These guys wanted us to die first and buy time for them. Of course, they wouldn't come to support us, I think , they may be waiting for reinforcements and helicopters to arrive before they really start fighting. It must be so. "
Eddie was a sensible man. It was easier to talk to the sensible man. Gao Yang immediately said, "do you know when the British reinforcements can arrive?"
Eddie nodded and said, "the British just said that their reinforcements and helicopters would come together. We only need to stick to it for another four hours. However, I certainly can't stick to it for that long. Other people may want to stick to it, otherwise they would have surrendered."
Gao Yang thought he couldn't get the answer, but he didn't expect Eddie to really know the arrival time of the British reinforcements. However, it's also right to think about it. In order to give some confidence to unreliable allies and improve their morale, the British must keep informed of the arrival time of the reinforcements from time to time, and this time will not be false.
When the time comes and the reinforcements do not come, I am confident that the severely hit pirates will surrender immediately. Therefore, even if the reinforcements will not arrive too early, the British have to tell the truth. Moreover, the four hour time is really short for the current combat state.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang said, "do you know where the British reinforcements will come from? I mean, where do they land and enter the city? Do you know the number?"
Aidid shook his head and said, "I don't know where they will come from, but the number is, the British say there are 300 people, all of them are very powerful guys, as well as four helicopters, cobra and anti-aircraft missiles. They have repeatedly promised that they will win the battle as soon as the reinforcements arrive."
The helicopter is called Cobra. It should be AH-1. With 300 reinforcements, four helicopters and anti-aircraft missiles, Aidid is right. Once the British reinforcements arrive, they can really turn defeat into victory.
Gao Yang carefully calculated that if he wants to win, he can either surround and fight for help, or solve the battle before the arrival of the British reinforcements, and let the British reinforcements withdraw themselves. Even if he still has to fight, he can concentrate all his strength to deal with the reinforcements.
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "those pirates, those remaining pirates, want them to surrender immediately. What can I do?"
Aidid hesitated and said, "for them, it doesn't matter how many people die under their hands. Anyway, it's easy to recruit people to be pirates, but their own lives are very precious. Therefore, if they want to surrender, they have to threaten their safety. However, their positions are very backward."
Eddie's mouth of them, needless to say, is the remaining pirate leaders. Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction and said, "good, look at this map. Can you point out their location?"
Aidid looked at the satellite map taken out by Gao Yang, nodded and said, "I know where they are hiding, but it looks different from what I usually see, but I should be able to find it."
"Take a closer look. Don't worry. You must not make mistakes. Find out where the pirate leaders are hiding."
After finishing speaking to Aidid, Gao Yang turned his head to the people around him: "prepare for beheading!"
