Chapter 416: Empty City Strategy

The endless reeds seem to be ambushing thousands of troops. Countless bullets poured into the rain, but the other party did not react at all.

Ten minutes later, Captain Kono gave the order to stop shooting. He raised his binoculars and carefully observed the situation in Mikawa. What scared him was that there were still flickering figures in the reeds! These figures seemed to be constantly shifting their positions as the river breeze blew. It looks very strange in the reeds.

As long as the guerrillas are hiding in the reeds, black guns can be fired out of sight at any time. Captain Kono has the same phobia as Stationmaster Sunyu. Another round of fire reconnaissance, and still not a single shot was returned. Even if a bullet flies from the shadows, Captain Kono will have a sense of being conquered.

No!

Nothing!

Too many bullets were wasted, and the result was nothing. Captain Kono ordered all of Sun Yu's subordinates to go ashore and grope their way into the depths of the reeds! The information was provided by Sun Yu's shadow son Qiao Guangming. If this risk is not taken on the 76th, who will?

In the face of Kono's order, how dare Sun Yu say half a "no"? Similarly, he did not dare to give orders to Liu Da, who came from his superiors.

"Zhang Hu, you lead a team to go first. Let's test it first. ”

Let Sun Yu's people go to death, of course Sun Yu won't do it. He had no choice but to discount Captain Kono's order and order to go to the squad first. Zhang Hu took a small team and jumped ashore from the motorboat, and then marched forward in a Portuguese manner. These people trembled and frightened, and gradually groped their way through the reeds in a fan-shape. Zhang Hu is rough-looking, savage, and relatively bold. On the outer river, Kono and Sun Yu watched Zhang Hu and the others gradually move closer to the central area of the Hetao, and one by one they also hung their hearts on their throats.

Zhang Hu finally touched the figure next to him, took a closer look, hehe, it turned out to be a tattered dress hanging on the reed. Look at the other reeds, there are also tattered clothes hanging on them. The clothes were blown by the wind, like figures shaking. There were a lot of clothes that had been torn out by bullets and were still shaking.

"it!"

When Zhang Hu saw this, he was both excited and angry. I was excited that I finally discovered the tricks of the guerrillas, and I was angry that I was also frightened by these torn clothes. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly took off his torn clothes.

At this moment, a rumbling explosion suddenly erupted!

For a moment, there was a wail from the reeds. Those who were killed on the spot were immortalized, and the worst of all were the members of the team who had broken their hands or feet, and there were miserable cries from the reeds.

After the explosion, the reeds returned to calm. And Captain Kono, who was in charge of the command, couldn't calm down anymore. Over the years, Captain Kono has experienced too many guerrilla tactics and suffered a lot. The explosion sounded, and he concluded that there must be guerrillas hiding in the reeds. Now that the fight has started and people are dead, Sun Yu's heart is a lot calmer. This result is better than false information.

Kono commanded all the combatants to open fire on the reeds, ignoring how many wounded there were. Sun Yu didn't dare to stop him, as for those wounded, they had to rely on them to ask for more blessings.

After half an hour of fire, there was silence again in the reeds, and it was estimated that the wounded were also killed.

When Liu Dada saw this terrifying scene, he couldn't help but look at Lei Zhansong. The Japanese never take the lives of Chinese seriously. The dozen or so agents of the sub-station who went ashore just now, except for those who touched Zimu Lei, the rest were all eliminated by the so-called "own people".

Captain Kono was already red-eyed, like a thousand troops hiding in the reeds. He began to direct the evacuation of motorboats, wooden boats, etc. to the outskirts of the loop. He realized that despite the small number of guerrillas, because they had two wagons of munitions and reeds as cover, if they were scattered in, they would be wiped out.

After retreating to the perimeter, Captain Kono ordered to fire incendiary bombs into the reeds!

It was a stupid and terrifying temptation. Dozens of incendiary bombs, dragging long flames, fell from the sky, and the reeds began to burn.

The wind began to blow on the river. The wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. The sky was overshadowed, and smoke billowed from it. At first glance, it seems as if the end of the world is coming.

There was still no gunfire and no explosions. Sun Yu was a little skeptical at first, would the arms hidden in the low-lying places cause self-explosions? Then, from time to time, they saw an unknown bird startling and fleeing for its life into the distance. Under the thick smoke, nothing could be seen.

The fire burned for more than two hours. Those Japanese puppet soldiers who were ready to do a big job became people watching the excitement.

Liu Dacheng and Lei Zhansong, who were standing at the bow of the boat, saw the scene in front of them and gradually understood what was going on. Although Lei Zhansong did not know the specific situation of Liu Dacheng going to Tongrentang Pharmacy, from the analysis of the current situation, he judged that Liu Dacheng had quietly laid out a big game of chess, and Sun Yu and Kono, the Japanese puppet army, were just his pawns.

Today's operation wasted ammunition and killed more than a dozen agents, and the rest of the results were likely to be nothing.

However, Captain Kono's determination is very strong, and he will not withdraw his troops until it is effective. The fire burned for hours, until several square kilometers of reeds were burned to ashes, and not a single shot was heard. There was no guerrilla breakout. Obviously, the guerrillas have long since ceased to be in the Sanhe area. All the efforts were in vain.

"Report—"

A light motorboat came from far and near, heading towards Kono's motorboat. These motorboats are small, lightweight, and easy to transmit. The two Japanese soldiers on the boat rushed towards them at a gallop, sweating profusely.

The two men were supposed to be soldiers of the gendarmerie with sleeves with the word gendarmerie on their arms. Without an emergency, they wouldn't have looked so panicked.

"Report to Captain Kono, the county gendarmerie was attacked by guerrillas and suffered heavy losses."

Look at the two gendarmes, dusty and bloodstained on their clothes, apparently having escaped with their lives in a bloody battle.

"Nani?"

Captain Kono figured it out now. The guerrillas set up a ** formation in the Hetao area, attracting the vast majority of the Japanese puppet army. Then, taking advantage of the emptiness of the county seat, a surprise attack was made on the headquarters of the gendarmerie.

"Urgent withdrawal!"

With Captain Kono's order, all the wooden boats, motorboats and other water vehicles began to retreat one after another. They can no longer afford to care about the fires in the Loop. Liu Dada and Lei Zhansong sat quietly on the side of the boat, smoking cigarettes and thinking about their thoughts.
