Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Flame Soars into the Sky (Part II)

It's not hard to burn down an old city! The houses lined up are all civil structures, which are natural firewood stacks!

However, it is not easy to use a city to burn a first-class division equipped with tanks and combat vehicles! In order to achieve this goal, Li Siwei tried his best!

Half-meter-deep ditches were dug at the base of the two main roads and the city walls of Guangmingji, filled with coal, and covered with cinders that had not been completely burned, camouflaged.

And all they had to do was hide in the city and set fire, thirty-six people, hiding in the tunnels, with barrels of gasoline around them! The tunnel can lead to the outside of the city, that is the only way to live, but whether he can get out alive, Li Siwei has no bottom in his heart.

In this plan, first of all, Li Siwei had to ensure that the little devil would enter the Guangming Gathering for the night, so he had people blow up the Huaihe Bridge to create the illusion of retreat. Then, when setting the fire, it must not be detected, and the fire of several city gates must be burned at the same time, trapping the devils in the city. Finally, after setting the fire, you have to block the entrance to the tunnel, and you can't leave the way to survive to the little devils.

As for...... Will you be able to survive? He didn't have much hope. Because, even if he and his brothers successfully escape from the tunnel to the outside of the city, they may not necessarily escape from the encirclement of those little devils outside the city...... Therefore, he left Liao Heiniu behind, if he couldn't go back, he could help him take care of Ning Rou...... Thinking of that lovely girl, Li Siwei felt a faint pain in his heart...... However, I don't have a choice, I can't afford to lose this game! He doesn't feel at ease when anyone comes!

In order to show respect for Lieutenant General Ogisu, Nozomi Sasaki stationed his detachment outside the Guangming Division, took up the defense task, and gave the Guangming Collection to the 13th Division to avoid the cold.

For Nozomi Sasaki's kindness, Lieutenant General Ogisu did not shirk it, but felt that although this guy didn't have much ability, he still had eyesight.

Lieutenant General Ogisu set up his headquarters at the Guangming Garrison Headquarters, which is near the south gate and is the largest building in the city.

His retinue cleaned up the messy garrison headquarters and quickly set it up in good shape.

Lieutenant General Ogisu sat in his room, drank a few cups of side dishes on a few plates, and then lay down on the warm big bed and fell asleep contentedly...... It's nice to have this kind of life on a cold winter night, especially after a long day's journey.

Major General Sasaki was not in the same good mood as him, lying on the cot tossing and turning and unable to sleep, thinking back to the battle of this day, secretly wondering: Who the hell said that the Chinese army was vulnerable? Who the hell said that the soldiers were cowardly and incompetent?

Time passed minute by minute, the light set echoed with the earth-shattering snoring, the little devil is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he needs to sleep! Especially for people who are tired after a long day, it is called a sound sleep!

The sentries of Sasaki's detachment are also tired enough, they have just fought a hard day, and they have to do this janitorial work, who can not complain! The army outside the city was huddled around the campfire and fell asleep in a daze, and the soldiers at the sentry were dozing.

The dark winter night was quiet, the cold moon of the lone star hung in the sky, and the fires scattered inside and outside the light set shone faintly.

At the South City Gate, a little devil guarding the gate suddenly stumbled, woke up from his sleep, sniffed in a daze, suddenly startled, and hurriedly pushed his companions beside him, "Yokota, Yokota, it smells of gasoline!" ”

Yokota opened his eyes in a daze and glanced at the little devil, "Muto, what's the panic?" Someone is probably burning gasoline for heating, right? ”

Muto was stunned, "Who will burn gasoline for heating?" That's important supplies......"

Yokota closed his eyes again and muttered: "The thirteenth division, that's a first-class division, the family is big, and it's different from ordinary troops......"

Muto saw Yokota fall asleep again, and thought to himself, forget it, I can't take care of this matter by myself...... Squint a little longer, who knows what the detachment leader will be crazy about tomorrow! I can't say, it's another big war!

Sasaki tossed and turned in bed, and he couldn't hold on until the second half of the night, so he fell asleep in a daze. In a trance, he returned to Tokyo, it was a sunny spring, the cherry blossoms under Mt. Fuji were blooming, and he was soaking in the hot springs and watching a few children tossing in the hot springs......

On the north bank of the Huai River, General Guan, Liao Heiniu and others all stayed awake all night.

By the Huai River, more than a dozen large and small ships were ready, General Guan and Liao Heiniu and others stood on the shore and looked dead in the direction of Guangguangji, anxiously waiting, waiting for a miracle, waiting for the fire that could light up the night!

Suddenly, a voice shouted, "Fire, fire!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked carefully with wide eyes, they saw that the light was brightening up, getting brighter and brighter...... The firelight pierced the night sky and reflected half the sky!

"It's done!" General Guan slammed his fist on the thigh, smashing himself to grin!

"Brothers," Liao Heiniu turned his head sharply and shouted, "Prepare to cross the river!" ”

"Okay," Shi Meng and Liu Heishui agreed, and they were ready to get on the boat.

Jin Daya hurriedly persuaded: "Wait a little longer......"

Liao Heiniu's eyes widened, "Still waiting for a hammer!" Wait a little longer...... Wait a little longer, Li Cannon will run out and drown in the Huai River, and the turtle will jump into the river if he is in a hurry. ”

Liao Heiniu said, turned around and ran to the boat.

Jin Daya and Xie Bald looked at Liao Heiniu's back and smiled bitterly.

General Guan sighed secretly, "Big Tooth, let's go with the brothers from the artillery battalion." ”

"Yes," Jin Daya agreed, and hurriedly went to call someone.

General Guan looked at the blazing Guangji and muttered, "For the sake of a Li cannon, gamble with my family...... Is it worth it? ”

Xie Bald stood beside him, looking at the light set with blazing eyes, "Worth!" ”

Nozomi Sasaki was indulging in a beautiful dream, and suddenly, the whole dream shook, and he was shocked, could it be that there was an earthquake in Tokyo?

"Captain...... Captain......" a hurried voice rang in his ears, "It's on fire!" ”

Sasaki opened his eyes, and the frightened face of Osa Yoshida appeared in front of him.

Sasaki suddenly became angry from the bottom of his heart, "Yoshida, what are you panicking about?" It would be nice for someone to put it out......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned...... I saw that a fire had risen on one of the walls in my bedroom, and the wooden wall was instantly ablaze.

Sasaki jumped out of bed, grabbed his weapon, and rushed out the door...... Running into the yard and looking back at the flame-rising houses, he angrily asked, "Who is it?" Who can set the house on fire? ”

Yoshida Osa hurriedly said, "Captain, there are fires in many places in the city...... I'm afraid it's a poisonous plan of the Shina people. ”

Sasaki was startled, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look around, only to see that the fire in the city was soaring, burning half of the sky red...... "boom", a loud bang came, followed by a series of explosions...... The ammunition on the soldier's body, which is explosive, once it explodes, it is a chain reaction.

Everyone turned pale with shock at the sound of the explosion, and hurried to unload their ammunition.

"Damn the Chinese people," Sasaki threw away the pistol, scolded fiercely, and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, "Quick, get out of the city, this fire can't be extinguished......"

Sasaki's compound was relatively remote, and it had just burned at this time, but as soon as he got out on the street, he saw thick smoke billowing out, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest...... The explosions kept coming, and the street became a mess, and the soldiers who had just woken up could still listen to the commander's scolding, and just ran wildly...... Sasaki's heart sank, it's over! The Japanese regard the Three Kingdoms as a classic, and he is familiar with the story of burning Chibi!

Outside the door, a soldier had already parked beside him in a car, and Yoshida Osa hurriedly opened the door, "Captain, "Get in the car......"

Sasaki yelled, "Can't get in the car...... Hurry up and rush out. "At this time, the streets are overcrowded, and if you get into the car, don't you wait to die?

Sasaki pulled out his saber and rushed in one direction, shouting as he rushed: "Don't mess up, don't mess ......"

"Click", a soldier who was blocking the way was directly slashed to the ground by him, and everyone was shocked and gave way.

Sasaki hurriedly rushed forward, but before he could take a few steps, the road in front of him was blocked, and the ground was full of people...... The fire here is bigger, the smoke is bigger, it's a dead end!

Sasaki was startled, hurriedly turned around, and waved his saber, "Turn around, turn around...... It's a dead end...... Ahem......"

The person behind him turned around in a panic, "pop", a person suddenly fell to the ground, and "pop ......" people kept falling to the ground...... Sasaki hurriedly went to cover his mouth and nose, but it was too late, and he fell to the ground as soon as his body became weak, and his big eyes were full of unwillingness, and he roared at the roaring fireworks: "Vicious Shina......"

Lieutenant General Ogisu is luckier than Major General Sasaki, he is close to the southern gate!

As soon as the fire ignited, Lieutenant General Ogisu was woken up by the attendant officer.

Lieutenant General Ogisu hurriedly grabbed his weapon and rushed out of the door, and as soon as he saw the fire in the city, he knew that the general trend had gone!

"Car," Lieutenant General Ogisu shouted, and a car drove over in a hurry.

"Open the way ahead," Lieutenant General Ogisu, waving his saber, "Those who stand in the way, don't be killed!" ”

His retinue rushed out of their sabers and loaded their bullets......

On the road leading to the south gate, the road surface was already burned red, and as soon as the little devil rushed up, he screamed and fell to the ground, and was set on fire in an instant...... With the light of the fire, the little devil can already see the south city gate, as long as he crosses the fire road of about 200 meters, he can survive! However, no one dared to rush forward, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, looking at the city gate in the distance with a desperate expression!

"Car," someone cried out in surprise, "run over the car ......"

A group of little devils hurriedly got out of the way, and Lieutenant General Ogisu sat in the car, but he was shocked when he saw this scene, and the car couldn't drive over......

The driver's voice trembled, "Division commander......"

Lieutenant General Ogisu shouted, "Stop!" ”

The driver breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly braked the car. Just kidding, on such a road surface, if the car is driven up, the fuel tank will be blown up in minutes!

Lieutenant General Ogizhou pushed the door and jumped out of the car, and the attendant officer hurriedly came over, looking at him with a solemn face, "Division commander......"

Lieutenant General Ogisu waved his hand, jumped on the front of the car, looked at everyone and shouted, "Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to be loyal to the Emperor...... Could it be that the warriors of the empire should be trapped to death by this mere road for a few hundred meters? ”

The attendant was the first to react and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!" ”

After he finished yelling, he threw away the pistol and ammunition on his body, and yelled at the guards, "Warriors, use your bodies to pave a way for the generals!" With that, he strode over to the red-hot pavement, and threw himself down without saying a word!

"Long live the Emperor!" Another attendant shouted and followed, falling to the ground.

"Long live the Emperor......" "Long live the Emperor......"

……

Constantly shouting and rushing onto the road, they fell to the ground, and they wanted to use their flesh and blood to make a way for the robes......

The air was filled with the smell of barbecue, and Lieutenant General Ogisu had already burst into tears, and the driver hurriedly pulled up his corpse and rushed outside...... 200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters, 10 meters...... Those who can fill in have already filled in...... Lieutenant General Ogisu could already see the soldiers desperately trying to save the burning soldiers under the city gate, but his heart sank to the bottom.

"Long live the Emperor!" The driver let out a loud shout and threw himself on the charcoal fire.

The soldiers of the Sasaki detachment are also desperately fighting the fire, not only is their captain in the sea of fire, where is there a division commander of a first-class division!

However, when the little devils gathered at the south gate to fight the fire saw the scene in front of them, they were completely shocked.

"Long live the Emperor!" A little devil who was fighting the fire shouted, threw away the steel helmet in his hand, and threw himself into the charcoal fire, which burned his body and sizzled!

"Long live the Emperor...... "Long live the Emperor" kept roaring and threw themselves on the charcoal fire, and finally, a life paved path extended to the feet of Lieutenant General Ogisu, but he really didn't have the courage to take that step again.

"Division commander," an officer cried and rushed up, pulling him to run, "it's over, it's all over...... The thirteenth division is all finished......"

Ogisu was dragged by him and rushed to the city gate, turning his head blankly, looking at the light set that burned into a sea of fire...... Suddenly, he wiped a handful of tears fiercely and choked up: "It won't be over!" The Thirteenth Division will not be finished! The spirit of the 13th Division is still there! ”

Little devils kept rushing out of the sea of fire and rushing to the south gate with the bones of their companions!

Of course, this scene only happened at the South Gate! The sea of fire in front of the other three gates has become an impassable death line!

Li Siwei and a group of brothers escaped from the tunnel from the Guangming set, when the fire just started, they blocked the entrance of the tunnel and escaped from the light set along the tunnel, but they could only hide at the exit, and the Sasaki detachment was stationed outside the Guangming set, blocking the way!

A group of people were crowded in the tunnel, and they could hear each other's heartbeats, and many people's bodies were still trembling...... What's going on? It burned a city, and there were tens of thousands of people in the city...... That's a living person! But...... They can imagine the hellish scene!

"What...... When...... Go out...... Get out? Huang Hua's voice trembled, leaning into Li Siwei's ear, and Li Siwei could feel his body trembling.

Li Siwei said softly, "Wait!" ”

Huang Hua was surprised, but his body trembled violently, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mother...... Damn, Dao...... Dao Ye...... What a sin this has been......"

Li Siwei pressed on his shoulder and stared at him tightly, "Huanghua...... We are saving people, and killing little devils is saving our own compatriots! ”

Huang Hua's trembling body slowly calmed down, and a noisy sound came from outside, and the little devil screamed wah-wow-wow.

Huang Hua Yixi, "Let's go now?" "It's already messy out there, and it's a good opportunity to slip away.

Li Siwei frowned, go? Even if you can escape from the encirclement of the little devils now, but what about after you get out? The bridge was blown up, go out and jump into the river?

Huang Hua was taken aback, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Siwei frowned and looked at him tightly, "What if...... You're a little devil, what are you thinking about now? ”

Huang Hua shook his head, and Wang Liugen hesitated: "They ...... Definitely know it's a trap......"

Li Siwei nodded and stared at him, "And then?" ”

"Then ......" Wang Liugen was stunned and shook his head in a daze.

Huang Hua's eyes lit up, "Then, they ...... Do you think we have a trick up our sleeve? ”

Li Siwei nodded slowly, his brows furrowed, and his gaze swept over everyone's faces, "Then ...... Will they evacuate as soon as possible...... Brothers, don't bet with Lao Tzu. ”

"Follow!" Everyone nodded one after another, looking at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, even if Li Siwei let them die, they would be willing, let alone gamble?

"Okay," Li Siwei said slowly, "Lao Tzu is hiding here...... If the little devils withdraw, the lives of the old men will be saved, if the little devils don't withdraw, then ...... Lao Tzu's life is lost! ”

The light set was filled with the smell of barbecue, echoing with cries and scolding...... But the flames also illuminate the dark night!
