Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 591 Forced to be Protected
After more than five hours of hiding and hiding, Duan Muwen brought more than 100 panicked and exhausted expatriates, Ming diplomats and intelligence officers to the airport in the western suburbs of Berlin.

"In less than two hours, our plane will arrive." Consul General Ni Senbo tried to encourage everyone, and he had already arrived here, and the next thing was to wait for the transport plane of the Ming Air Force to arrive.

"There are still staff at the airport?" Ning San asked as he looked at the airport.

Duan Muwen looked at the situation over there, and said: "Not only the staff, but also the army, the Prussian army."

The group of them entered the airport, and also met the Prussian Lieutenant Colonel Wehrmann stationed here.

Wellman was a not-so-tall officer with a mustache and a very serious look.It's just that there are some wrinkles on his military uniform now, Duanmuwen speculated that he didn't take off his clothes when he slept last night.His army boots were dirty and he was obviously on the move.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wellman, I'm Duan Muwen, a staff member of the Ming Consulate in Berlin. I'm curious, the Prussian army was defeated, why didn't you evacuate at this time?"

Wellman didn't expect the other party to speak German very well. He said, "Because I received a direct order to watch the last of you enlightened people and board the plane to leave Berlin."

Duanmuwen was a little surprised after hearing this.

"The Ming Dynasty transport plane will land here soon, and bring back the overseas Chinese of the Ming Dynasty who are stranded here. The Ming army notified us, hoping that we can help. And I have an order from the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke does not want any Ming people to die here. On the land of Prussia, or be captured by the Western Qing Tatars. Prussia has received a lot of favor from Ming Dynasty, and we should repay it."

Duan Muwen would not believe a word of this. The reason why Wang Daxiong and his group could not come back to assemble after so long was because Prussia used the contract to coerce them to continue working.In the end, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty personally exerted pressure to force Prussia to release these personnel.

"Your troops are staying at the airport to cover our departure?" Even though Weierman's motives were completely impossible, his actions were consistent.

"Yes."

Duanmuwen frowned and asked, "Why?"

Wellman is a simple and direct person. He said: "I hope to use our blood and sacrifices in exchange for some basic favors from you. If Ming finally sends troops, it will help the people here to restore their country and no longer be affected by foreigners." The humiliation and oppression of the tribe."

Duan Muwen couldn't understand Wellman and his soldiers, "You know that if you stay here and cover our retreat, it means you have to fight the Qing army, and the only ending for you to fight the Qing army is to be punished." .”

"I know, I'm well aware of that, sir," replied Wellman.

"Prussia is still insisting that Prussia will not be cowardly in the face of a powerful enemy. The whole of Germany will also be willing to fight with us, because if we fail, we will lose our country just like the Russians and become A group of slaves with money tails, no honor, no future. If there is any country in the world that can easily defeat Xiqing, then it must be Daming. Therefore, we need the help of Daming."

"Help you restore the country?" Duan Muwen frowned deeply, and said, "I'm afraid you don't know much about our Ming Dynasty. The reason why we are in trouble today is precisely because of the 'retaining' of the Grand Duke of Prussia, and now you have to sacrifice Life, help us escape, we will not be grateful to you. Moreover, it is a bit too naive to think of claiming credit for the Ming Emperor after protecting a hundred or so Ming people."

Wellman said: "This is not asking for credit, but we Prussians firmly believe in the rules of Ming Dynasty. You must repay your kindness, repay your kindness, and revenge if you have a grudge. If we die here today and you live, your emperor We will definitely be missed.”

Duanmuwen was very angry: "Is this to force us to accept your sacrifice?"

"Yes, that's right."

Duan Muwen shouted: "Well, the tanks of the Qing army may be here soon, I wish you a happy death, we will not shed a tear for you."

The two did not continue talking, and Wehrmann led his soldiers back to the defense line.Generally speaking, the Prussian army was basically an army from the First World War, equipped with some bolt-action rifles, heavy machine guns and even artillery. However, they could not get the signature weapons of World War II because the Ming Dynasty would not sell them to them.

Just as Duanmuwen and the others entered the airport, there was another scream in the sky from the other side.

"The direction of the sound is from the southeast... Damn it, why is it the Xiqing Air Force again? Why do they have so many pilots and planes." Han Ye shouted and quickly set up the machine gun.

But this time it wasn't just him. The Prussian troops led by Wellman also made their air defense preparations. The weapons were very similar to Han Ye's, basically just anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Here comes the armored troops of the Qing army!"

Duan Muwen's eyelids twitched. Although the armored troops of the Qing army were not many, only 6 tanks and a small number of infantry came over. Wellman's side is a battalion-sized army, but there are no armored vehicles, and there is no final decision. cannon.Wellman and the others relied on various temporary fortifications set up inside the airport, and then launched a counterattack.

"Fire fire!"

"They're marching and it's hard for us to hit."

Wei Erman shouted: "I don't care how you fight, stop these armored vehicles for me."

Several tanks rushed to the vicinity of the airport quickly, and one tank raised its head and fired a shot at an airport building. However, the power of this tank gun of Xiqing is still very limited, with a caliber of 47mm, it cannot even be fired in one shot. Blow down a house.

However, this cannon still opened a big hole in the building, at least it was a kind of devastation to the spirit of the overseas Chinese in Ming Dynasty, and they began to become more anxious.

"When will our plane come?"

"The plane can't come, we will be killed by these Qing troops."

The young third secretary, Lian Suru, stood up and said to all the expatriates: "Everyone, don't panic, as long as you hold on for more than an hour, the transport plane will arrive, and we can go home!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, a cannonball exploded more than ten meters away from her. The shock wave directly pushed Lian Suru away. The girl who had almost never suffered any physical injuries was pushed down by the shock wave and hit her head. Blood splashed out.

"Little Lian!"
