Chapter 66: Taking Black Bamboo Island (2)
After crawling up in the darkness for nearly a quarter of an hour, the group climbed up a flat slope, and the space inside the cave became open.
The stone steps beneath your feet turn into a flat rocky pavement. Everyone can finally stand firm and stretch their waists.
What lifted everyone's spirits even more was that a point of light appeared not far ahead, and it seemed that it was about to reach the entrance of the cave.
"Shhhh
The point of light is getting bigger and bigger, and the hole is getting closer and closer. Slowly, everyone finally saw that a few meters away, a semicircular hole appeared in front of them, about a person high.
Du Heng pressed his hand against everyone behind him, signaling everyone to try not to make a sound, and lower the center of gravity of his body like he did.
As we got closer to the entrance of the cave, we noticed that the entrance was irregular in shape. The reason why it looks semicircular from the far inside of the cave is that on the outside of the cave entrance, a rock mass more than half a meter high extends horizontally.
Du Heng led everyone to bow down to the rock mass at the entrance of the cave, squatted down, and did not dare to make any sound.
Du Heng listened carefully, but the outside on the other side of the bunker was quiet, and no sounds such as birdsong could be heard. Everything was a little quiet.
Li Dai was a little breathless, he just wanted to get up and turn over the rock mass, but was dragged by Du Heng.
Du Heng glanced at everyone, and then, he took off the swimming cap on his head, and took out the longer female knife in his mother knife from his waist, and put the swimming cap on the tip of the knife.
Everyone understood and followed Du Heng's example and put their swimming caps on the weapons in their hands.
"One, two, three." Du Heng read the seconds in a low voice, and stretched out one, two, and three fingers in turn as the countdown, signaling everyone to act at the same time.
As Du Heng stretched out his third finger, the nine people present raised the weapons in their hands at the same time, allowing their swimming caps to slowly expose the upper part of the cover.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" At the moment when everyone's swimming caps just revealed the rock mass, more than a dozen arrows shot from a distance, whistling over everyone's heads, and some flew into the hole and hit the rocks in the cave, making a crisp sound; Some of them shot on the mountain above everyone's heads, making a few crisp sounds. Arrows and shattered rocks scattered and landed on the ground behind everyone.
"Rush!" Du Heng waved his hand and took the lead in jumping out. Everyone jumped up and jumped over the rock mass in front of them.
At the moment of landing, everyone also saw the scene in front of them. About 20 meters in front of the rock mass is a woodland, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers are hiding behind trees with bows and arrows.
Without hesitation, everyone rushed into the woods, trying to rush into the woodland before the enemy could fire a second wave of arrows, and stick to each other.
"Whoosh, whoosh." The clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear in the running saw the opportunity, raised the water gun in his hand, pulled the trigger, and shot the two Japanese soldiers who were about to raise their hands to shoot arrows, and then, with a hard pull, pulled the two Japanese soldiers in front of him. The two threw away their water guns, quickly bent down and drew their katanas from the waists of the two dead Japanese people, held them in their hands, and rushed forward.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" As everyone approached the edge of the woodland, the second wave of arrows from the Japanese people shot out.
After all, Du Heng, Li Dai and others were masters who could fight habitually, and when they saw the arrows of the Japanese people shooting at them, they rolled on the spot one after another, avoiding the flying arrows. By the time they got up, they were already standing in the middle of the woods.
When the Japanese saw the other party rushing in front of them, they immediately threw away the bow and arrow in their hands, pulled out the katana at their waists, and howled and slashed at Du Heng and the others.
Du Heng flexibly dodged the blade of a Japanese man, and his body stepped up to meet him, passing through the opponent's armpit, and at the same time, the mother knife in his hand cut the opponent's abdomen horizontally. The Japanese man rolled over and struggled for a moment, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, the blade of another Japanese stabbed him, and Du Heng turned sideways to give way to the blade. The Japanese man immediately twisted his wrists with both hands and slashed the katana in his hand horizontally towards Du Heng's abdomen. Because the distance is too close, it is too late to hide. In a hurry, Du Heng quickly pulled out the shorter sub-knife from his waist with his left hand and blocked the katana that was already close to his abdomen.
Although the sword of the Japanese was held by Du Heng with a sub-knife, the Japanese man sank his waist hard, held the katana in his hand tightly with both hands, and forced Du Heng back five or six steps.
Du Heng held the knife in his left hand to hold the opponent's blade, and while retreating, he turned his wrist with his right hand, holding the mother knife in his hand horizontally, with the handle in front and the blade behind, and with the left turn of his body, he used the sharp mother knife blade to cut the throat of the Japanese people. A stream of red blood spurted out from the neck of the Japanese soldier. Du Heng turned around and jumped away, wielding his twin swords to kill the other Japanese people.
Although this was the first time he had fought with the Japanese people on land, he was no stranger to the fighting characteristics of the Japanese people, and after a few rounds, two Japanese people had died under his Korean sword.
When Li Dai saw that Du Heng was surrounded by three Japanese people, he immediately yelled and rushed over to fight side by side with Du Heng.
Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear not only have excellent combat ability underwater, but on land, they also show extraordinary fighting ability with their unique flexibility, coordination and strong explosive power of black people. The two of them cooperated with each other, flickering and moving, shaking the besieging Japanese people who were besieging them, and after a few looks, four or five Japanese had already died under the samurai swords of the two.
With the last Japanese being nailed to death on a pine tree by Du Heng's flying knife, this fierce fight was over.
A total of 17 Japanese soldiers were killed. Du Heng counted the number of his own troops, except for two North Korean soldiers who were slightly injured, the rest were unscathed.
The first battle on the island was a complete victory.
Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear pulled out the arrows of their water guns from the two Japanese and put them in order.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang......" Everyone was just about to sit down and rest for a while, when a gong sounded not far away.
Following the prestige, on the highest peak in the east of Heizhu Island, stands a tall wooden watchtower, on which a Japanese soldier is beating the gong vigorously.
"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Du Heng regrouped his spirit and prepared for battle.
After the sound of the horn, everyone thought that more Japanese people would rush over. Na Cheng thought, everyone chose a favorable terrain, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't see any Japanese soldiers rushing to this side. But everyone still didn't dare to act rashly, hiding behind the big trees, quietly observing the wind and grass around them.
Taking this opportunity, Du Heng carefully observed the topography of the island.
The area of the island is not large, and the place where everyone is located is at the western end of Heizhu Island, and the easternmost point of the island is a mountain peak, which is the highest. There is a depression in between.
Everyone waited quietly for a while, but there were still no Japanese people coming over here. Du Heng decided that everyone would form a search formation and slowly approach the Japanese army observation post on the east side of the island.
The bow crossed the depression in the middle of the road, and Du Heng and the other nine people came to the peak of the mountain where the Japanese army observation post was located.
It is a small mountain, and it is judged by visual inspection that it should be a cliff facing the sea to the east, and relatively steep cliffs in the north and south directions. Only on the west side is there a gently sloping mountain road, the mountain road is potholed, and the half-natural and half-artificial stone steps extend from the bottom to the top.
Halfway up the mountain road, the stone steps were suddenly cut off by an artificially dug deep ditch, which was about three meters deep and nearly four meters wide. At the other end of the deep ditch, a wooden trestle is pulled up by two ropes and hangs high in the air.
At the top of the mountain is an artificial platform, and on the north side of the platform are several small stone huts. In front of the hut there were two wooden stakes buried in the ground, and between the stakes were tied a rope, and the ropes were covered with various kinds of clothing; On the east side, near the cliff, is the high watchtower, which everyone has seen for a long time. Other than that, there were hardly any other items on the platform, and there was not a single shadow of the Japanese army.
Through eye contact with Li Dai, Du Heng decided to attack it. He called Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear to him, and whispered to them, "Shoot off the two ropes of the drawbridge!" ”
Clairvoyant and Shunfeng nodded their heads, and then, holding the water guns in their hands, climbed up against the sides of the stone steps. Coming to the west side of the deep ditch, the two of them each chose their positions, squatted on the stone steps, and raised their guns to aim.
With two whistles of "whoosh", the two ropes pulling the wooden bridge broke in response. Hearing only a "clang", the wooden bridge fell from the sky, bounced off the rocks on the west side of the deep ditch, and fell steadily.
"Rush!" Du Heng and Li Dai jumped up almost at the same time, leading everyone to swing their knives and kill on the mountain peak.
The moment the wooden bridge landed, six or seven Japanese soldiers wielding katanas rushed out from the hut on the top of the peak.
As soon as Du Heng and the others rushed across the wooden bridge, the Japanese people came up, and the two sides went back and forth on the stone steps, fighting all the way.
Six or seven thin Japanese soldiers obviously couldn't stop Du Heng and the others who were like wolves and tigers, and after two or three rounds, they were all cut down to the ground, and their bodies rolled down the stone steps.
Du Heng and the others didn't dare to stay, quickly climbed to the summit platform, and rushed into the hut with a knife to search.
The hut was empty.
Du Heng left the three of them to guard the platform, and then, together with Li Dai, led the others to quickly walk down the stone steps and circle the island to see if there were any other enemies that had not been destroyed.
The island is deserted. It seems that these 20 or so killed Japanese soldiers are all the Japanese soldiers defending the island on this island.
Returning to the platform, Du Heng carefully inspected the hut again, and saw that there was a large amount of grain and other food stored by the Japanese army.
"Haha, it seems that these things are enough for us to use for a while!" Du Heng laughed happily.
Next, Du Heng sent clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear to return the same way from the cave entrance to the island to report the good news to the ancestors of Hua who were preparing to receive them on the sea boat.
After Hua Xianzu learned of the success of seizing the island, he immediately returned to the shore with Clairvoyant, Shunfeng Er and Che Fanyou, and he asked Che Fanyou to write a letter reporting the battle situation, and then, using his own magic skills, returned to Li Sunsin's naval camp as quickly as possible. Che Fanyou led Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear back to Qingyunguan, waiting for the return of Hua Ancestor.
"Hahaha, okay. This is equivalent to blinding a pair of eyes of the Japanese people, but we have an extra pair of eyes. Hua Yingying, thank you! After hearing the news, Yi Sunsin was overjoyed.
After entertaining the Hua ancestors for dinner, Yi Sunsin selected 50 capable soldiers to bravely carry ropes and return with the Hua ancestors, asking them to land on Heizhu Island with the help of the brothers who landed on the island and strengthen the defense of Heizhu Island.
The procedure for these 50 elite soldiers to reach the island was as follows: they first arrived at the foot of Heizhu Island by boat, and were carried by clairvoyance and downwind ears to carry the rope from the found cave to the island, and then the island people chose a suitable place to tie the rope and put the rope down. The 50 soldiers on board bravely climbed the rope to the island.
When everything on the island was arranged, Hua Xianzu and Che Fanyou settled in Qingyun Temple.
An observation post was thus formed on the route of the Japanese navy. Once the people on the island discovered important information, they immediately went down to the island and swam ashore by clairvoyant and Shunfeng Er, and reported to the Hua ancestors in the Qingyun Temple, and Che Fanyou wrote the written materials, and then the Hua ancestors performed their magic skills and sent them to Li Sunsin.
For a long period of time, due to timely intelligence, the DPRK naval forces have won several major victories.
The Japanese army also sent people in a vain attempt to recapture Heizhu Island, but Heizhu Island was easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the tight defense of the defenders on the island, the Japanese army failed to seize the island several times.
