The flames rose, the heat wave pressed on, the flames dispelled the darkness and cold, and the light set was finally bright. But the flames burned down a city and devoured tens of thousands of lives...... The air was filled with the smell of barbecue, and Li Siwei and the others could smell it when they hid in the tunnel.

Looking at the sea of fire, the surviving little devil cried bitterly, this defeat, the defeat was aggrieved, and the defeat was miserable!

Once the success is achieved, the people who have reached the level of Lieutenant General Ogizhou will never lack the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, he is dressed in a whole shirt, and said solemnly: "Order all wings: alternate cover, retreat immediately!" ”

Several of the officers around him were stunned, and they all looked at him, tears still in the corners of their eyes.

Lieutenant General Ogizhou "choked", pulled out his saber, pointed straight at the sky, and his face was hideous, "I swear by the honor of the Ogizhou family, this hatred ...... In the coming day, the people of China will be repaid a hundredfold! Long live the Emperor! ”

The crowd was awe-inspiring, "Long live the Emperor!" "One after another.

Lieutenant General Ogizhou looked back at the Guangmingji, this city was no longer guaranteed, and holding on to it was tantamount to sitting still! How could the people who could set up such a poisonous plan have no follow-up moves? Thirty-six plans to go up to the top!

Liao Heiniu and the others crossed the Huai River and went straight to the outside of the Guangming Collection, but there was only a sea of fire and messes all over the ground, where was there still the shadow of the little devil?

"Find someone!" Liao Heiniu immediately broke off.

A group of soldiers scattered, and Liao Heiniu led a team of men and horses straight to the north city gate.

Inside the north city gate, the flames were monstrous, the heat wave was pressing, and when they reached the doorway, everyone could not take a step forward.

Liao Heiniu fixed his eyes and saw that Rao was nervous, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his face turned pale. The soldiers who followed him also looked at the scene in front of them with pale faces, only to feel that their legs were weak and nauseous......

On the avenue, the bones were burning, and the air was filled with a pungent smell...... This is not a battlefield, this is a huge crematorium!

"This ...... This...... What can be done? Wei Zheng's face was pale, and his teeth were fighting.

Liao Heiniu trembled, turned his head weakly, and forced a smile to himself, "Li Cannon...... Essence...... Fine...... He...... He must have left a way back...... yes, he must be hiding somewhere......"

When the trap was set that day, Liao Heiniu and the others stuck to Guangming Ridge, and the recruits who participated in digging the tunnel were all recruits from the reserve team......

At this moment, a soldier stumbled towards the north gate, "The battalion commander has been found, the battalion commander has been found......"

Liao Heiniu was shocked, rushed out of the crowd, met the soldier, grabbed his shoulder, and stared at him tightly, "Really...... It's true? ”

"Really," the soldier was startled by him, and hurriedly said, "The battalion commander is hiding in the tunnel......"

Liao Heiniu is happy, "Quick, lead the way......"

The soldier interrupted him stubbornly, "The battalion commander orders, all retreat......"

"What?" Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blushed, "How can you just withdraw like this?" Reservoir dogs and turtles don't know how to fight? ”

The warrior looked at him, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Liao Heiniu looked at his expression and became anxious, "He's injured?" ”

"No," the soldier hurriedly shook his head, "The battalion commander said that he would take ...... when he saw it."

Li Siwei was on the Huai River with Liu Heishui, preparing to board the boat, when Liao Heiniu and Shi Meng chased after him with the team.

"Li Cannon," Liao Heiniu hurriedly ran in front of Li Siwei, "Why don't you chase it?" ”

Li Siwei glanced at him and smiled tiredly, "Forget it, poor Kou Mo chases ......" After speaking, he walked towards a big ship with a staggering step.

Huang Hua glanced at Liao Heiniu and hurriedly followed, and the thirty-four brothers who were on a mission with Li Siwei also silently followed...... Others don't know how many people were burned by this fire, but they know that it was tens of thousands of people!

Huang Hua caught up with Li Siwei and said with concern: "Sir...... That's a little devil, you say, killing a little devil is saving your own compatriots......"

Li Siwei shook his head lightly and sighed leisurely, "Hey, the little devil is also human...... What's more, just our two hundred or so brothers can go toe-to-toe with the little devils who escaped? ”

Huang Hua was stunned, yes, without the support of the fortifications, I am afraid that these people will not be enough for those devils to plug their teeth......

Li Siwei and the others can see clearly, there are thousands of devils outside the city, and they retreat in an orderly manner, just this kind of people...... Rushing up is no different from sending him to death.

Li Siwei and the others returned safely, and General Guan greeted him with a happy face, "Battalion Commander Li, you did a good job!" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Li Siwei saluted with a "snap", "Thank you Commander for your concern, it's okay to be humble." ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay" General Guan patted Li Siwei on the shoulder vigorously, and suddenly, lowered his voice and asked, "How are the results?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The results of the battle...... It's hard to settle the score, wait until the fire is extinguished...... I guess I've already burned everything I can burn. ”

General Guan was stunned for a moment, and nodded lightly, this result is really difficult to settle! However, he knew that the little devil's troops going north this time had at least one division and tens of thousands of people...... There is no gunfire on the other side, which means that the little devils are either wiped out or flee in the wilderness, no matter which outcome it is, the result of this battle is not small!

Li Siwei looked at General Guan and hesitated: "I want to be humble...... Went to rest. ”

"Yes," General Guan nodded repeatedly, "Get a good night's sleep, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." ”

Where can Li Siwei sleep? He just suddenly wanted to see Ning Rou, he wanted to see it very much!

There is a small village on the north bank of the Huai River Bridge, Wuhe Village, where the wounded soldiers are housed.

Ning Rou had just finished inspecting the wounded soldiers and was about to walk out of the door, when suddenly, a figure rushed in and took her into her arms, hugging her so tightly that she could barely breathe.

Ning Rou was startled, and instinctively wanted to push the person away, but heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears, "Girl......"

Ning Rou's hand paused, and slowly wrapped her arms around Li Siwei's waist, and she could clearly feel that the man in her arms was trembling violently.

Ning Rou's heart was sour, and she said softly: "What's wrong with you...... It's okay, it's okay......"

"So many...... People," Li Siwei's voice trembled, "so many people......"

Ning Rou only felt a sour nose, and gently patted Li Siwei's back, "It's okay, it's okay...... It's war, you didn't do anything wrong......"

Li Siwei trembled, gradually calmed down, gently let go of Ning Rou, lowered his head, and quietly looked at the pretty face, for a long time, he smiled softly, "It's good to see you again......"

Ning Rou's heart trembled, and she met Li Siwei's gaze stupidly, "It's good to see you again." ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The haze in Li Siwei's heart disappeared at this moment, as long as you can still see her smile, no matter what you do, it will be worth it.

Li Siwei returned to the camp satisfied, and Liao Heiniu and others hurriedly surrounded him.

"Li Cannon, how many devils have you burned?" Liao Heiniu looked at Li Siwei expectantly, "Turtle's, those guys don't want to say ......"

Li Siwei glanced at everyone and shook his head, "Lao Tzu doesn't know, you want to know, when the fire is extinguished, go and see for yourself." ”

"Forget it," Liao Heiniu's face turned pale, and he quickly shook his head, "That ghost place, I don't want to go to the second time when I am killed." Shi Meng and the others were also full of fear, and shook their heads one after another.

Li Siwei nodded and glanced at everyone, "This matter...... Don't ask again! Let's go to sleep, there will be more things tomorrow...... The little devil will definitely not give up after suffering this loss. ”

Lieutenant General Ogizhou withdrew to Chuxian County with the remnants of the army without danger, hid in his own house, and wept bitterly. With just this fire, he lost 20,000 or 30,000 people inexplicably, and the 13th Division was almost burned out, how could he not be heartbroken!

After crying bitterly, my heart felt a lot better, and Lieutenant General Ogisu prepared for the aftermath, and someone had to bear the responsibility for defeat. After writing the report and suicide note, and arranging the reorganization of the army, Lieutenant General Ogisu hid in the headquarters and quietly waited for the order to self-discipline.

The fire in Guangming Ji burned for a day and a night, and as soon as the fire stopped, General Guan sent spies to check on it...... Otherwise, his report is really difficult to write.

However, the result of the spies' return made him even more entangled.

"The fire is over...... Everything that can be burned is burned! After the spy finished speaking with a pale face, he put in front of him more than a dozen sabers that had been burned and deformed, "There are still many bayonets, all burned to the point of uselessness......

General Guan waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, these are enough." ”

Fire and water are merciless!

General Guan's report was sent to the theater headquarters, and after several commanders read it, they discussed it for a while, "Send it to Hankou." ”

The report was hurriedly sent to Hankow, and soon there was a reply, and when several chiefs looked at it, there were only four words on it: keep it secret!

Several people looked at each other, "This ...... What's the matter? ”

A major general's staff officer hesitated: "Above...... Should not like...... The soldiers did that......"

There was silence.

Suddenly, a lieutenant general nodded, "Yes, soldiers, burn a city and blow up a bridge at every turn...... It's not a good influence. ”

"Yes," the other lieutenant general nodded, "and this precedent cannot be set...... Although this battle was meritorious, it blew up the bridge without authorization...... No punishment shall go unpunished! ”

"Well," the major general's staff officer nodded, "I read that plan carefully, and there is no mention of blowing up the bridge......"

"Alright," a gray-haired lieutenant general waved his hand, "there are rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments must be clear." ”

Chuzhou, Lieutenant General Ogizhou took off the ribs from the knife holder and wiped them gently, full of desolation. He led the 13th Division from Shanghai to Nanjing, and he was invincible all the way, and he can also be described as a hero...... Unexpected, unexpected! was negligent for a while, and ended up like this...... In the report, he took all the responsibility for the defeat, and it was inevitable to apologize.

"Report!" A voice rang out outside the door.

"Enter!" Lieutenant General Ogisu slowly lowered his ribs and sat upright.

An attendant pushed the door open, handing over a folder with both hands, "The base camp has your papers." ”

Lieutenant General Ogisu was stunned, it shouldn't be, according to the convention, he should read his order in public, and then ......

"Division commander," the attendant repeated when he saw that he was stunned, "there is a secret document for you!" ”

Lieutenant General Ogisu was shocked, secret documents! He hurriedly took the file, waved off the attendant, and slowly opened it.

After just one glance, he was shocked, he couldn't see the other words anymore, and a pair of big eyes stared at that line of words: This defeat is not a crime of war! Wangjun reorganizes the 13th Division, makes persistent efforts, and is ashamed!

Lieutenant General Ogisu only felt a sour nose, and tears appeared in his eyes, which gathered into teardrops and slipped down silently......

General Guan also received an order from the theater command: The battalion commander Li Siwei had a meritorious role in blocking the enemy, but blew up the bridge without authorization...... I hereby promote to the position of Lieutenant Colonel and Acting Commander of the Regiment, and the department will be commended as appropriate...... In addition, the first battle of the light set should not be promoted!

General Guan was shocked when he saw it, what is the situation?

After thinking about it for a while, General Guan personally sent the order to Li Siwei.

Li Siwei carefully read the order, and saluted General Guan with a "snap", "This battle is not the work of one person, thank you for your help!" ”

General Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Cannon, Shangfeng...... They must have their own considerations......"

"The lowly position understands," Li Siwei hurriedly interrupted him, "Commander, rest assured, the lowly position will restrain the brothers, and the news of this battle will never be spread......"

Knowing that Li Siwei had been promoted to lieutenant colonel and acting head of the regiment, the brothers were a little disappointed, Liao Heiniu said angrily: "Li Cannon, who told you that you have no backer?" ”

Li Siwei waved his hand, his eyes looked around at everyone like electricity, and his face was full of seriousness, "No one is allowed to mention anything about the Guangming Collection, do you understand?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and when they saw Li Siwei's awe-inspiring momentum, they were all shocked, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

Only then did they remember that this guy was a ruthless man who could set fire to the Bright Collection and turn a city into a crematorium! That scene...... They can dream about it these few nights!

In this way, the two sides of the battle seem to have reached a tacit understanding, and the battle of Guangmingji has become a battle that is as secretive as ever!

On the Japanese side, the situation of aggression against China at this time is very good, and the base camp must not allow this matter to be publicized, and it must not allow this battle to hurt the morale of the army and the people!

Hankow also pinned its hopes on the funding of the Western powers, and would not bring this war to the table! After all, Westerners put the cloak of humanitarianism on their bodies.

Li Siwei has no objection to such a result...... At least, he won't be called Butcher Li by future generations! Although he won this battle, he was not happy in his heart. After all, the fire burned so badly that it burned against the peace!

However, since then, Li Siwei has a nickname in the 66th Division - Li Huohuo!

Of course, everyone only dared to shout behind their backs, and even Liao Heiniu didn't dare to shout in front of him...... Because, on the night Li Siwei just came back, he saw Li Siwei when he was awakened by a nightmare, sitting in the quilt, lying on his knees, sweating profusely and trembling all over......
