Chapter Forty-Nine: The Battle of Yedianji (4)

The sky is like a cover, the remnant sun is like blood, the cannons on the Xintai set fall like rain, the flames and gunpowder smoke dance together, and the wreckage and scorched earth are splashed everywhere!

Head Xie lay on his stomach in the ruins, his three brothers pressed alternately on his back, and warm blood flowed down his body, head, and face...... They were the ones who kept the flying shrapnel out for him.

He lay quietly on his stomach, unable to struggle, without the intention of resisting, and the rain of artillery fire had already made him desperate!

The sound of the cannon is still there, but the screams are gradually becoming weaker!

"Regiment Commander," a familiar voice sounded in Regiment Commander Xie's ears, and it was Zhang Zide, the commander of the third battalion, "Are you okay?" ”

The two brothers dragged away the corpse that was pressed on him, Zhang Zide hurriedly pulled him up and ran, "The little devil's artillery fire is too fierce, let's avoid it first......"

Head Xie was stunned, suddenly broke away from Zhang Zide's hand, and glared at him fiercely, "Lao Tzu killed you!" Who told you to return? ”

"Commander," Zhang Zide's eyes turned red, "The brothers are almost dead, what are you waiting for here?" The little devil didn't even think to fight with us...... Commander, we can't drag our brothers to death! ”

Head Xie trembled, unable to speak.

Zhang Zide dragged up Regiment Commander Xie and ran, the artillery fire was still raging, Xintaiji was wailing, Regiment Commander Xie's heart was like ashes, the people's hearts were scattered by the artillery fire, and the team collapsed.

The remnant sun finally fell into the night, the artillery fire stopped, and the Sakamoto detachment drove into the new Taiji, which had turned into a ruin.

In the wild shop, the little devil finally retreated, leaving corpses and ruins everywhere.

Li Siwei sat on the ground, gasped for breath, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Yang Fan, Yang Fan ......"

"Here," a stout middle-aged officer ran over and saluted Li Siwei with a "snap...... He is Yang Fan, the company commander of the engineer company, a northeastern man who has followed Li Siwei from Taiping Village.

Li Siwei waved his hand, "Let the brothers of the engineer company act according to the plan!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Fan "snapped" and saluted again, turned around and trotted away.

When Li Siwei saw Yang Fan leaving, he raised his eyes again and shouted, "Zhang Yu......"

"Here," a lean young man hurriedly ran over, his body standing straight, and his eyes were blazing at Li Siwei, "Sir, please command." He was one of the few scholars among these recruits, the young master of a landlord's family in Shangqiu, and became Li Siwei's herald at this time.

Li Siwei glanced at him, "Order all battalions to prepare to retreat." ”

Zhang Yu was stunned, his eyes widened, "Long ...... Sir, do you mean...... Fall back? ”

Li Siwei smiled at him, "You doll heard it right, it's a retreat!" ”

Zhang Yu was even more surprised, looking at Li Siwei in a daze, he was really stunned! He was the one who said "I'm afraid of death, and I'm even more afraid of losing the wild shop set", and he was the one who ordered the retreat......

Li Siwei glared at him, "What are you doing for Lao Tzu?" Go and herald...... It doesn't matter if Lao Tzu is dead, you can't drag your brothers to the funeral, right? ”

"Yes...... Be! Zhang Yu was stunned, turned around and gave the order.

Li Siwei looked at his back and cursed secretly, this damn war!

"Li Cannon, you turtle son!" Liao Heiniu came in a hurry, his face was full of anger, his eyes were red, "You want to be a deserter, Lao Tzu won't stop you, but Lao Tzu can't be a deserter!" ”

Li Siwei looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Don't give Lao Tzu what to say, Lao Tzu has been a deserter for a long time?" ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you order the retreat?" ”

"Yes," Li Siwei nodded, "Lao Tzu ordered a retreat, but retreat doesn't necessarily mean to be a deserter, sometimes...... Retreat, for a better offense? ”

"Attack?" Liao Heiniu was excited, "Why attack?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "You'll know when the time comes...... Let the brothers withdraw first, the canned soup and the big nest are ready...... Eat while walking! ”

"Where are you going?" Liao Heiniu stared at Li Siwei tightly.

Li Siwei smiled even more, "It doesn't matter where we go, what matters is where we go, where the little devil on the other side will follow!" ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned, "Why?" ”

Li Siwei looked at him with a smile on his face, "Hei Niu, have you heard of Wei Wei saving Zhao?" ”

Liao Heiniu shook his head, his face full of confusion.

Li Siwei scolded with a smile: "I don't know this, and I still ask for a hammer?" Just follow the brothers of the second battalion, and you will follow wherever Lao Tzu goes! ”

After Li Siwei finished speaking, he ignored Liao Heiniu, he would definitely lose if he defended it, and the ending was nothing more than the annihilation of the whole army! So why not mobilize the little devils? Who said that the resistance battle must be carried to the death?

Zhang Yu hurriedly ran back, "Report to the chief, the order has been passed down, but the wounded soldiers are unwilling to withdraw...... They said they were willing to stay and cut off the ......."

Li Siwei's heart was shocked, he knew that this was the tradition of veterans who had withdrawn from Songhu, just like the blind king during the Tangshan Battle, just like Chen Dashan on Yuhuatai...... Li Siwei raised his head suddenly, "Tell them that no one is allowed to be a deserter by the fuck!" The order went down, and the wounded soldiers were personally escorted by Lu Quanyou with a battalion of brothers and evacuated to Zaozhuang, and no one was missing! The second battalion and the third battalion gave Lao Tzu to gather at Chengdong Yedian Middle School, where Lao Tzu was waiting for them. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yu's spirits were lifted and his eyes were blazing...... The chief must have a good idea again, just like the story of Taiping Village told by those veterans, just like the fire on the river that he saw with his own eyes......

After Li Siwei gave the order, he hurried to Yedian Middle School, and Wei Yidao, who was guarding the door, was full of excitement, "Sir, I know, I know ......"

Li Siwei patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said that he wanted to drink canned soup, so he would definitely come...... A knife, hard work......"

Wei Yidao smiled with a smile on his face, "It's not hard, it's not hard, the brothers are fighting hard with the little devils in front, so it's hard......"

Li Siwei nodded, "Is the portion enough?" What about the 1,000 brothers......"

"Enough, enough," Wei nodded repeatedly, "According to your order, the cans are all stewed......"

"Okay," Li Siwei nodded in satisfaction and strode towards the playground...... There, twelve cauldrons exude a rich aroma.

The night of early spring is slightly cool, and the moonlight of Yedianji is a little hazy.

Suddenly, a group of black shadows rushed up to the east bank of the river like raccoon cats, scattered in all directions, and quietly touched the wild shop market......

"Snort...... I don't know who kicked off the strings that were connected together, and the five grenades that were connected together blossomed in unison, "Bang bang...... Boom ......", several Qiwu mountain cannons buried together with the grenades were detonated, the flames burst out, and shrapnel flew sideways...... A team of black shadows were directly knocked to the ground...... The survivors dragged the wounded and hurriedly retreated, the position of the black hole was so terrifying!

On the other side of the river, Saito Shaosa's face was gloomy, the people of China were really prepared, and he was sure that the people of China used to set traps were the 75 mountain guns equipped by the 5th Division, just like the shells that blew up all the four mountain guns of the Nagasawa Brigade in the morning...... He didn't even dare to imagine how Yokoya had lost the Nodian Set, and why did the Shina people get almost all the weapons and equipment of the Yokotani Brigade?

It is precisely because the people of China have these weapons and equipment that the artillery battle in the morning will be equal, and the fierce battle in the afternoon will be fruitless......

"Major General," Chief of Staff Officer Kimura Osa hesitated, "the guards of the Nodian Camp have already been prepared for a night attack...... I'm afraid it won't work......"

Major General Saito turned his head sharply and stared at him deadly, "Kimura-kun, then, can you tell me how it works?" ”

Kimura Osa was stunned for a moment, and said with a snort: "It's still ...... Only the artillery brigade that relied on Nagasawa Daisa...... The wild shop set cannot be attacked, it can only be completely destroyed! ”

"Hehe...... "Major General Saito smiled weirdly, and turned his head to look at Nagasawa Daisa, "Nagasawa-kun, can the Saito detachment still rely on you?" ”

Nagasawa Dazuo couldn't help but have a hot face, and he turned red, "Report to the Major General, it is incumbent on Nagasawa's brigade!" ”

"Okay," Major General Saito looked at him deeply, "I hope that when we get to Mengyin City, Saito's detachment still has field artillery to use......"

Nagasawa Dazuo only felt ashamed, and hung his head stiffly, "Hey! "The artillery battle in the morning was a shame that he could never wash off, two to four, and even more shameful was the loss of shells from the base of one artillery squadron......

The cannons of the Saito detachment rang out again, and "shh......h......h

There is a small hill about three miles east of Yedianji, which is no more than 20 meters high and less than one mile in radius.

Li Siwei held a bowl of canned soup and silently looked at the wild shop market full of gunfire...... The little devil is finally still crazy.

Liao Heiniu came over, the nest in his mouth had not yet been swallowed, and he smiled vaguely: "The little devil is sick, right?" The boys are all running away, what are they blowing up......"

Shi Meng also said peacefully: "The little devil has nothing, it's just a lot of cannons...... They can blow up an empty city so hard......"

Li Siwei glanced at them, "Hehe, who said that Yedianji is an empty city?" ”

Both of them were stunned, "Didn't the brothers all withdraw?" ”

Li Siwei nodded, "The brothers have withdrawn, but the trap is still there......"

There must be a trap in the wild shop, and the engineer company set a trap in front of the position as planned, but, except for the one that was triggered by the little devil in front, the others were all reduced to ashes under the fire of the little devil!

The artillery fire stopped, and the infantry squads crossed the river and made their way to Yedianji, without any obstacles along the way...... Until they touched the position of the defenders, the expected rain of bullets did not come, and a group of little devils were surprised and delighted, and rushed into the wild store with a shout!

However, when they saw the "defenders" in front of them, they were shocked and angry, but they were the imperial army that had long since died, and they were placed on the position, making a posture of waiting for the battle......

The forward commander Shiraishi Shaoza did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the news to Major General Saito.

Major General Saito was silent after hearing this, what did the guard of the wild store set want to do? Even under the brutal artillery fire during the day, he still held his position, but why did it come to night...... Did he run away? Is it an escape? Or is it a trick to lure the enemy?

"Major General, this is a trick of the Shina people," Kimura Daisa swore with, "There must be many traps ahead!" ”

"Oh?" Major General Saito turned his head and stared at him tightly, "Since there are many traps ahead, what ...... Should the Saito detachment turn around and return to Qufu? ”

Kimura Osa was stunned for a while, not daring to talk, he naturally heard Major General Saito's sarcasm.

Major General Saito waved his hand, "The Shiraishi Brigade continues to pursue, and the other troops hurry up to cross the river...... The engineer brigade rushed to repair the bridge......"

"Hey," the officials agreed, and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Let's say that the White Rock Brigade got the order and pursued all the way east...... In fact, they didn't have to worry about losing the chase at all, because Li Siwei's team was already waiting for them.

"Bang bang bang......" In the darkness, there was a sound that shook the sky, the fire flickered, and the earth trembled...... It's still a rudimentary trap, but it's still amazing in the dark.

The White Rock Brigade was blown up, but they heard a low roar from the darkness, "Fight!" Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! ”

"Boom Boom Boom ......" grenades fell like raindrops, "Boom Boom ......Boom" The earth trembled, and the little devil screamed again and again!

"Withdraw!" With a broken drink, the footsteps in the darkness "clicked" away.

Li Siwei led the team out of a mile and turned right to the south, Liao Heiniu hurriedly chased after him, "Cannon, where are you going to turtle?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "Is the canned soup delicious?" ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned, "It's delicious!" ”

"Is Hotwotou delicious?" Li Siwei continued to ask.

Liao Heiniu was confused, "It's delicious!" ”

"Are you too hungry?" Li Siwei smiled: "It's okay, Lao Tzu will take you to eliminate ...... food."

"Digestion? It's good to eat," Liao Heiniu suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid that the little devil who has been hungry all afternoon has an empty stomach, and there is no food to eat." ”

Li Siwei glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "Your turtle is also wilted!" ”

Liao Heiniu's eyes widened, "Lao Tzu didn't learn from you...... How can this food be eliminated? ”

"Fishing!" Li Siwei said with a smile: "Lao Tzu can't kill the artillery of the little devils, but Lao Tzu can lead them by the nose and run......"

Liao Heiniu hesitated a little, "The little devils are not stupid, what if they don't follow?" ”

"This is easy to do," Li Siwei didn't care, "If he doesn't come with him, he will deal with him, and if it hurts, he will naturally follow...... As the saying goes, tease children and scold people, tease dogs to bite people, and lead them to run away when they tease little devils! ”
