Chapter 54 Digging a Pit and Pingyi City
Poor Kou Mo Chase!
Little devils may not have heard this sentence, but they really understand this truth.
The little devil chased out of Yashan Village for about a mile, and was blocked by Lu Quanyou......
There was a flurry of gunfire, followed by a rain of thunderbolts, and when the little devil recovered from the shock wave of the explosion, the blocking force in front was gone!
Captain Akasai, who led the team, suddenly waved his hand, "Stop the pursuit!" ”
They were just a tired army in the first battle of Yashan Village, and in the face of such an attack, they had no chance of winning, and they had to wait for most of the reinforcements.
Lu Quanyou and his brothers withdrew more than a mile and ran into Li Siwei head-on, "Commander, the little devil doesn't seem to have followed......
Li Siwei was stunned, "Wouldn't it be better if you didn't come?" Take the brothers and evacuate, go to the Shunwang Temple and wait! ”
"Yes," Lu Quanyou rushed away with his brothers.
Li Siwei waited for a while, but the little devil didn't catch up......
Shunwang Temple, Lu Quanyou converged with Liao Heiniu...... The pit has been set up, just waiting for the little devil to follow!
But after waiting for a long time, he saw Li Siwei withdraw with his brothers, and without waiting for them to ask, Li Siwei waved his hand, "Withdraw!" ”
Outside Pingyi City, Division Commander Guan had already set up defenses, and when Li Siwei and the others withdrew safely, this retreat mission would be successfully completed.
Pingyi is a small city, before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, there was only one security regiment in the city, and at this time, plus the remnants of the 66th Division, the total strength was only more than 3,000 people.
Everyone knows that with this bit of strength, they can't stop the little devil at all!
Master Guan looked at Li Siwei, "Li Cannon, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Hmm...... You can only be prepared for street fighting," Li Siwei muttered: "It's best to ...... Dig the tunnels well ......"
"But......," Master Guan frowned, "there isn't that much time. ”
"We can mobilize the people to help," Jin Daya was apprehensive about the little devil's artillery fire, and agreed very much about digging tunnels.
Li Siwei shook his head, "The people should be withdrawn, as soon as the little devil comes, Pingyi will inevitably be scorched......
Everyone was silent and looked at Master Guan one after another.
Master Guan frowned, looked back at Pingyi City, but saw a group of people pouring out of the city gate.
The people helped the old and the young, drove pigs, held chickens and ducks, and held egg steamed buns...... Slowly surging towards the position, a pair of bright eyes looked at the soldiers......
The leader was an old man in good spirits, and he walked tremblingly towards Master Guan.
Master Guan hurriedly greeted him, "Old man, what are you ......?"
The old man's cloudy eyes looked at Master Guan tightly, "All the soldiers have come from afar to guard their homes for the people of Pingyi...... The old decay can't lose the number of courtesies, and the labor army is coming! ”
Master Guan's heart trembled, and he looked at the old man speechless.
What to say?
Persuade them to evacuate? In this situation, how can this be said!
Sonorous promises? What can you promise?
"Sir!" The old man looked at Master Guan cautiously, "Can Pingyi City be defended?" ”
Master Guan's lips trembled, "Old man, I'm ...... I can't...... What to promise! ”
"This ......" the old man trembled, and looked at Master Guan in a daze, "Long ...... Sir...... Really ......"
"I'm ......" Master Guan looked at those eyes, his heart was heavy, and suddenly, he gritted his teeth, "Old man, we don't have the certainty of victory, but we have the determination to become benevolent!" ”
"Yes, yes," the old man nodded repeatedly, "it is enough to have the words of the chief...... The old man is content. ”
At this time, Li Siwei walked up, "Old man...... Let's go, the farther you go, the better......"
The old man looked at Li Siwei unexpectedly, and slowly smiled, "Sir, the old man has been seventy and six this year, and he was born in Pingyi and grew up in Pingyi...... The old body flows with the breath of Pingyi...... Old decay can't do without Pingyi......"
"But ......," Li Siwei was ready to persuade again.
The old man waved his hand, "The old man is a man who is dying...... Where else can I go? The descendants want to leave, and the old decay will not stop them, but ...... What do the soldiers need, the old man should do his best! People can go all over the world, but they must not break the roots! ”
"Yes," cried out one of the descendants, "the little devil wants to occupy our homeland, unless, the descendants of Pingyi are doomed!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" everyone echoed, and for a while, the crowd was indignant.
Li Siwei looked at such a scene, so he had to sigh secretly and retreat silently.
Master Guan didn't know how to feel, he just looked at the old man and sighed, "Old man, since you have made up your mind, Guan is not welcome, we need young and strong labor......"
The old man nodded when he heard this, "Okay! Wu Tianci......"
A bearded man came out in response, "Uncle! ”
The old man slowly turned around and looked at him, "From today on, the Wu family man will be at the disposal of General Guan, and he will not be allowed to retreat from the fire." ”
"Yes!" Wu Tianci agreed, respectfully walked in front of Master Guan, and saluted with a fist, "The thirty-fifth generation patriarch of the Wu family in Pingyi, Wu Tianci is at the disposal ......of the general."
Pingyi is not a big city, but it has gathered 3,000 elite laborers, so a campaign of excavation of tunnels has been vigorously launched.
As the author of this proposal, Li Siwei was not surprised to be appointed as the head of the project.
Where to dig? How to dig? Li Siwei needs to personally investigate and provide on-site guidance.
At the same time, the follow-up troops of Sakamoto's detachment rushed up and slowly approached Pingyi.
Major General Sakamoto was not at all relieved, because he got a piece of information, information about Li Siwei.
In fact, as early as after the burning of Guangmingji, the intelligence officers of the Japanese army dug out Li Siwei's information...... Until the Saito detachment returned from gathering feathers in Yedian, Li Siwei was listed as a key target of defense by the Fifth Division! Because, the 3rd Division is still training in Nanjing!
In the face of such an enemy, Major General Sakamoto did not dare to be careless!
Li Siwei didn't know anything about this, he was running around Pingyi City!
Pingyi is a small city, but it has also gathered more than 3,000 young people, and Li Siwei is digging tunnels in the city with these young and strong laborers...... Where to dig? How to dig? He needs to personally survey the terrain and give on-site guidance.
Digging tunnels is a tactic that is not clever and time-consuming...... But in order to avoid the artillery fire of the little devils, he had to do it as a last resort!
These young people are also enthusiastic and full of energy. The women of the city took up the task of boiling water for cooking.
