The devil was also too tired, and he used both virtual and real, and sent a signal flare, but he still didn't move. Ma Mingchuan took out his pocket watch again, and when he saw that it was almost 4 o'clock, he said to Commander Chu: "Big brother, the devil still doesn't move, what should we do?" Chu Zhenhu thought for a while and said, "Brother Minglong, restrain your brother and enter the position with the Rehe Independent Regiment." Brother Mingchuan, the range of the devil's cannon, you should know, calculate the approximate position of our sesame oil and adjust the position......"

Ma Mingchuan stood up and saluted and said, "Yes." "His big man, he spoke powerfully, and one was a word, like a cannonball, smashing into everyone's heart. Li Minglong's brothers were all shocked, and for the first time, they saw the regularity of accepting orders among regular officers and commanders. Li Minglong was also moved, and said: "Mao Mouse, take your brother, go with the head of the horse, and listen to their command." Seeing that everyone was silent, they didn't understand it, so they said again: "This turn, you dozens of people will become regular soldiers......" The Mao mouse didn't have any expression, silently ordered his more than 40 people, and followed Ma Mingchuan to the north.

Chang Xi looked at Li Minglong, stopped talking, and said for a long time: "Big boss, I don't think it's better to be like this, let's go down three hundred people first, and two hundred people stay on the top first, you don't see that people are like this, this is called leaving the reserve ......" He said as he looked up at Chu Zhenhu and Ha Ritu and others. Ha Ritu also smiled and said, "Brother Li, your brother is making rapid progress, so it's right to divide the troops like this." Anyway, let's attract the devil's cannon to the predetermined location first, and try to preserve the living force. The specific situation below, I still have to discuss Mingchuan and the two of you......"

Chang Xi was a little complacent in his heart, because his little abacus was not exposed, and he was praised for his progress. After all, Li Minglong knew his second master best, so it was inconvenient to explain, so he said: "From now on, no one can call me the big boss anymore, haven't you heard that Brigade Commander Ding calls me the captain?" "There are several small leaders below Wu Kuai's legs, all of whom are learning from the appearance of the regular army, standing upright, raising their hands as a salute, and shouting yes in their mouths.

Ha Ritu had an idea, and said in his heart that if it weren't for the devil, he would attack, and he should adapt Brother Li. Chu Zhenhu said: "The sky is about to dawn, and all departments will enter the position according to the predetermined arrangement, and there must be no mistakes." Brother Chang Xi said that leaving 200 people on the top first, it is okay, so it is decided. ”

Ma Mingchuan and Li Minglong led people to dig and adjust the positions again, cut down tree stumps and put them on the fortifications, and each fortification stretched out a section to confuse the devils. Some people say that the devil is looking forward to a telescope, and you can see it at a glance. Ma Mingchuan said: "This is easy to do, set fire to the outside of the wood, and blacken the light machine, not like a cannon or a bomb, let Motegi see it!" "Ma Mingchuan is still going to build a roadside bunker, wait for Motegi to come over, and let him be shot to death. Why is it that the night is too thick, and the tools are not good, it is impossible to dig the dark castle, Ma Mingchuan is still worried.

Both people were busy working, Ma Mingchuan and Li Minglong occasionally talked, Li Minglong listened to his experience of shooting Motegi twice, sighed, and regretted that he had raised a nest of bandits and wasted his years. I have also studied hard since I was a child, studied in another country, and had the ambition to serve the country.

At 5 o'clock, the devil's attack began. The remnants of Ono's Tataro Brigade were in front, artillery at all levels was behind, and the remnants of the Shimafu Maru Brigade followed; The Yamaoka Wing and the Ishiya Konan (25th) Wing are preparing. The avenue from Wujia Village to Tangyingzi to Lijiadian Village was lined up with devil soldiers.

In the cold morning breeze, Motegi wore white gloves, held the sword in both hands, looked west at the Cangcang Dam Liang in the twilight, and said with a sneer: "Umei Daisa, this time the eternal Cangcang Dam, we must have a ...... for the imperial army to step on the ground" At this time, a scout came from the direction of Tang Yingzi, jumped off his horse and said: "Report to General Motegi, the Jizhong Squadron of the 25th Wing Okamoto Brother Naichi, attack the 117th Brigade from Shuiquangou Liang, Together with the Sakata transport team, there has been no news so far. ’

Motegi swept away the momentum that he was determined to win just now, and the Sakan knife was also on the ground, stretching his face that was raised by the edges and corners of the wind, and thought about it again and again. He thought, Ding Boting is full of scheming, and Han Linfu (the name of the entire 117th Brigade has been completely detected by him) is the best at strategizing, is it that they used Cangcang Dam Liang as bait and used the trick of luring the enemy to go deeper, and knocked out the Cizhong squadron that blindly ventured?

Thinking of this, he turned back to Umei and said; 'Cizhong is so aggressive, so iron-blooded, what kind of soldier is it? Without waiting for Umei's answer, he said to himself: "Kumamoto's children are many heroes, and they go to Liangdong ...... across the sea from the sky." When he saw this, all the commanders raised their binoculars and watched non-stop. Motegi looked carefully at the position of the defenders at the head of the Cangcang Dam from the binoculars, and said, "What kind of work is that?" ”

Some commanders didn't say anything, some commanders said it was the defender's hat, and only the small one said it was a cannon. Motegi saw that it was very well camouflaged, at least 800 meters from the beam root to the head of the dam, although he did not dare to say that it was a cannon, but he could not tell what it was. He thought that since the war with the Qing Dynasty, some Western countries, such as some countries around Austria-Hungary, have frequently made irresponsible remarks about Great Japan and have continued to support them. Some countries with advanced military industries have frequently brought new guns and artillery to China, clearly saying that they are supporting them, but in fact they are still selling arms. Is it through India that new cannons have been brought in?

Thinking of this, he waved his sword and said, "Ono Taro Osa, the troops in front of you will quickly retreat." All the artillery guns went forward, according to the position of the defenders, no matter what kind of artillery it was, and bombard......ed me first" For a while, the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade advanced along with the artillery squadrons, and the artillery maintenance squadrons also rushed forward. Originally, every time the artillery arrived at a place, they had to find a gun position first, and only when they had a running position and supported the gun well could they adjust the elevation angle, angle of view and parameters. When the maintenance team runs up first, they don't need to repair it, and they can be used as gun empositions one by one.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 15th, the devils had 20 large and small cannons and fired at the defenders' positions at the head of the dam. Oni Beta Taro Osa stood at the root of the dam, pointed to the Cangcang dam beam and said: "The drop land, lower three meters, the head of the Cangcang dam will not be high ...... from now on."

The defenders who were ambushed in the trenches were stunned by the devil's cannon, and Ma Mingchuan said in his heart, is that a cannon? More than the stumps we just cut. Chu Zhenhu took a look, this must not flatten the dam head? Don't all the people who went down to my Rehe Independent Regiment and Brother Li have to be confessed to it? He was secretly glad that he had not been idle for the past few hours and dug through the traffic trench, and he also admired Chen Dahei from the bottom of his heart, he had a lot of ideas. Then he decisively gave the order, and before the sky was completely light, everyone withdrew from the traffic trench and hiddenly.

At the same time, he also instructed Li Minglong to behead anyone who accidentally exposed the target on the spot to set an example. The people of the Independent Regiment moved quickly, and Li Minglong's people were a little dragged. Before the people in the top trench had completely withdrawn, the devil's cannon roared angrily, and one after another shells were like iron balls thrown up, one on the other, one on the left, one on the right, and one in a row, and they exploded in a series of unhurried and slow waves. For a while, the dust was flying, like an eighth-level sandstorm. The soil in the air falls layer by layer. It happened to be the west wind, and the devils under the beam couldn't open their eyes, and the infantry couldn't advance a single step.

Chen Dahei crawled to find Chu Zhenhu and said, "Commander Chu, it's time, I think the devil is almost bombarded." Chu Zhenhu looked at him appreciatively and said, "Okay, I order, Yang Ming's company commander led five soldiers to the north to go around to the edge of Wangying Ditch, and use grenades to throw them into the devil artillery group and blow them up." Turning around, he said to Chen Dahei again: "Company Commander Chen, you have a lot of ideas, you have a way, and you have to work hard." When you go to Nanlingtou, they will be able to act as soon as they can't blow up the fire. This time, the most important thing was to light the cannon there to relieve the defenders of the dilemma of no artillery. ”

Chen Dahei got the order, with a word of continuity, through the woods to drill smoke and dust, to Nanlingtou. He found that the grenades thrown from the north had injured some devil artillerymen, and the hemp oil on the ground could not be fried. The devil team has already paid attention to the movement in the north and has begun to reconnoiter and guard to the north. Chen Dahei was about to knock on the wooden fish, and Wang Lian said, "I still have a hand." As he spoke, he took out a cow hair ball that Wu Kuaileg had just given him, and said, "Try this, come, light the fire." "Someone struck a match and lit incense, and put it into a ball of cow hair, and lit a ball of donkey dung. After a while, smoke came out, and it was explained.

The yam egg took it, and blew it twice with his mouth, and the smoke became bigger, choking him and coughing, saying that it smelled of donkey fart. It made everyone laugh. He looked up at the devil artillery in the distance, pulled out his stance and threw it over. When the cow hair ball was about to reach the place, it turned into a fireball, fluttering and leisurely, like the old Dan thrown by the fox spirit. The devil reacted quickly, and shot at the fireball one after another. The fireball rose and fell with the wind, and finally fell to the ground.

Ox hair leads sesame oil, like adding fuel to the fire, the flames spread on the ground, the first half of the fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the small cannons are in the thick smoke. The artillery in the second half of the cannon was less fireable, and there was no fire near the two cannons in the rear. Since the fort was ready-made, all the tools for repairing the fort were transported, so it was too late to shovel soil to extinguish the fire. At last he brought a shovel, and the dirt he shoveled up was all fire, and when it was raised, it was fire, and when it fell to the ground, it was still fire. The shovel is on hold, and the devil who fights the fire is on his trouser legs. The barrel of the mortar burns and bends one ......

However, the two cannons at the bottom were still missing, which made Chen Dahei and Yizilian anxious. Yam Dan touched his head and said, "Brother Chen, let's be brothers, you are not thin on me, I thank you." "When he had finished speaking, he said, 'I am going.' After saying that, he was really like a yam egg, and he rolled off the beam in one fell swoop. When he stood up, he had a ball of sheep's beard grass in his arms. He rolled on the spot again, and the ten devils did not intercept him, and rolled through the crotch of one of the devils. The sheep's beard grass in his arms has turned into a ball of fire, and the sesame oil on the ground has been lifted.

Chen Dahei ran back to the top of the beam as if he had picked up three thousand oceans, and said happily: "It's on, it's on ......" Commander Chu saw his happy appearance, and was also happy about it, but it was the dust splashed by the cannonballs, and the black smoke from the sesame oil, looking down from the top of the dam, he couldn't see anything. He asked Chen Dahei: "Are you on fire, what are you on...... he almost cried and shouted: "The devil's cannon is on fire, it's all on fire...... He cried and cried and cried, he was really happy to cry, and he was crying again.

At this time, a few more soldiers of the company ran back, crawling and strapping, and cried together: "Company Commander Chen, the yam eggs are also on fire, and the yam eggs are also on ......."

Besides, yesterday (14th) evening, the brigade headquarters led the main force to retreat down Chiwei Avenue, leaving the 235th Regiment behind. Commander Lin led the regiment headquarters in the middle, leaving 12 companies at the end. The 12th battalion didn't go far before it started fighting with the devils who came from the south. Although it was dark and he couldn't see his five fingers, Wang Kundi, the commander of the 12th battalion, was the first to judge that it was a devil, and the officers and soldiers all lay down next to the woods......
