Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of Longwan Ridge

Taichuan Ichiro in Chunxiao Town happened to be counting the looted treasures, and suddenly received a flying pigeon from Saburo Takeshita, and hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Saburo Takeshita sent me a letter asking for help, which said that a group of elite-armed enemies came to Longwan Town, and in less than an hour, nearly 2,000 casualties were inflicted on Takeshita-kun and Matsushita-kun, and in addition, Masao Kosaka and others, who went out of the city yesterday, have also lost contact, and it is very likely that they have also been eliminated by this group of enemies."

"Now that the east gate of Longwan Town has been lost, and the enemy is still pursuing the city, Takeshita-kun ordered Matsushita-kun to guard the west gate, and they are accumulating strength to retreat to Longwan Ridge. Takeshita-kun specially invited us to Longwan Town to wipe out the enemies in front of us. And promised that after the deed is completed, each of us will give ten taels of silver. What do you think, should we send troops to support Takeshita-kun? ”

After hearing this, Fujita Yamato said softly: "Will there be any fraud in this matter, there will be two thousand casualties in less than an hour, unless the enemy army has several times the strength of Takeshita-kun." There are more than 7,000 defenders in Longwan Town, even if the 1,000 people of Masao Kosaka are not there, there are still 6,000 people in the city, and the 6,000 people have lost a third in less than an hour. ”

Da Ban Erlang on the side then echoed: "Taichuan-kun, I also think that this matter is fraudulent, even if the elite of the Ming Dynasty comes, it will not be able to cause damage to our army as much as 2,000 people in one hour." The subordinates felt that this was most likely a trick played by Saburo Takeshita, the purpose of which was to lure our main force to Longwan Town, and then they would take the opportunity to sneak attack our Chunxiao Town. ”

Fujita Yamato saw that Oita Jiro agreed, and then hurriedly persuaded: "Taichuan-kun, you have to think twice, Chunxiao Town is only twenty miles away from Longwan Town, and you can go from Longwan Town to Chunxiao Town in less than two hours, I suspect that Takeshita Saburo has sent someone to ambush around Chunxiao Town, once we send troops to Longwan Town, he will quickly launch a surprise attack on Chunxiao Town, and then I am afraid that Chunxiao Town will fall into the hands of the villain of Takeshita Saburo." ”

The more Taichuan Ichiro thought about it, the more he felt that what the two of them said was right, and he slapped the table with his hand angrily, and shouted angrily: "Bastard, I originally planned to send someone to support Saburo Takeshita, but I didn't expect him to attack my territory." However, we can take advantage of this opportunity to give Saburo Takeshita a plan and strive to take Longwan Town in one fell swoop. Fujita-kun: How many people can we fight now? ”

Fujita Yamato heard Ichiro Taekawa ask, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Taekawa-kun, we now count the two thousand people we just recruited, and there are currently nine thousand people. Of these, 7,000 were veterans of war, and 2,000 had no combat experience. I suggest that we leave 2,000 men behind in Chunxiao Town to prevent Saburo Takeshita from taking the opportunity to sneak up on our lair. The other 5,000 people plus 2,000 people should be more than enough for Saburo Takeshita's people. ”

Taichuan Ichiro nodded approvingly after hearing this, and said happily: "It's still Fujita-kun's thoughtfulness, then listen to Fujita-kun's words, Daban-kun led two thousand people to guard Chunxiao Town, if someone sneaks up, immediately fly the pigeon to tell me that when the time comes, I will send reinforcements back to the defense, and when the time comes, I will come to attack inside and outside, and completely eliminate this hidden danger in one fell swoop." ”

"On this trip to Longwan Town, I went to Longwan Town with Fujita-kun to strive to take Longwan Town in one fell swoop, and then Saburo Takeshita will let me handle it."

After hearing this, Daban Erlang respectfully clenched his fists and said: "The subordinates will live up to their trust and swear to live and die with Chunxiao Town!" ”

Taichuan Ichiro nodded after hearing this, and then went out to transfer troops to Longwan Town.

"Your Highness, the Japanese have retreated to Longwan Ridge, the terrain of Longwan Ridge is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we attack strongly, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy damage. Otherwise, we will see the Japanese in this place surrounded by the Japanese and wait until the Japanese are exhausted, and then wipe out the Japanese in front of us in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Cihong's face began to become solemn after hearing this: "No, I'm afraid that the Japanese in the vicinity have already known the news of the loss of Longwan Town, and it is estimated that the reinforcements are on the way at this time, if we can't eliminate the Japanese in front of us as soon as possible, I am afraid that we will be attacked by the Japanese invaders inside and outside at that time, and we will be passive at that time." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yong said helplessly: "You can't send someone to attack!" The Japanese must have a cannon in their hands, and if we rush forward, and the cannon is combined with the rain of arrows, I am afraid that we will fall before we can rush in front of the enemy. ”

Qi Long then said: "Why don't you send a small group of people to make a feint attack first, and wait for the enemy's artillery to be exposed, and then we will suppress the fire, and if you are lucky, we can blow up the enemy's artillery in one fell swoop." ”

Zhu Cihong thought for a while and said: "This can only be the case, Qi Long sent a hundred people to disperse and launch an attack on Longwan Ridge, remember to disperse, try not to be blown up by the enemy's artillery, once you are injured, don't step forward again, find a place to hide, and wait for rescue." ”

After hearing this, Qi Long hurriedly said, "Yes!" ”

Qi Long led a hundred team members and scattered to attack Longwan Ridge.

Seeing that the Flying Tigers had launched an attack on Longwan Ridge, the Japanese Kou hurriedly shouted: "Takeshita-kun, the enemy has sent a small force to attack, what should we do now?" ”

Saburo Takeshita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Qi Long only led a small group of people to attack, and said with a smile: "What is there to be afraid of attacking at this point, I am afraid that the person who led the troops is a fool, in order to prevent being heavily damaged by our artillery, he actually sent a small force to attack us, but I don't know that this has turned over the taboo of the soldiers." I ordered eight artillery pieces to aim at the enemy in front of me and hit me hard. Fight for a round of artillery to go down and annihilate all the enemies in front of you. ”

With Takeshita Saburo's order, the Japanese began to get busy, and after the eight artillery pieces were aimed at Qi Long and the others, there were eight loud "booms", and the eight shells quickly covered Qi Long and the others.

Qi Long saw the Japanese opening fire, and hurriedly shouted, "Disperse quickly!" ”

Hearing Qi Long shouting, the members of the Flying Tigers dodged to both sides as soon as possible. Because of the scattered distribution of personnel, the solid shells of the Japanese did not cause much casualties.

Wang Yong skillfully aimed the artillery at the position of the Japanese and then lit the fuse, and when the fuse burned to the fire door, there was a loud "boom", the artillery let out a roar, and the cannonballs flew towards the Japanese invaders.

Saburo Takeshita never thought that there was someone like Wang Yong who was proficient in artillery in the Flying Tigers, and the first eight shells sent out completely pushed them into the abyss.
