Chapter Twenty-Seven: Flooding of the Twin Ditches (Part II)
The afternoon sun shone on the calm water, sparkling, and the well-fed soldiers sat on the hillside in groups of three or five, chatting.
Li Siwei stood on the embankment and looked at the Shuangqugou, his brows furrowed, and he secretly deliberated on the whole plan.
Liao Heiniu, Sen Manzi, Shi Meng, Wei Zheng and other leaders silently followed him, waiting for him to give orders.
"Wei Yidao," Li Siwei suddenly raised his head and shouted at Wei Yidao in the distance.
"Eh," Wei replied and hurried over.
Everyone was stunned, Liao Heiniu couldn't hold his breath, "Cannon, what do you want him to do?" ”
Li Siwei muttered: "There is something here that he has to ......."
"What's the matter?" Everyone was stunned.
Li Siwei smiled slightly: "Acting!" ”
Wei waved his hand again and again, "No, no...... Sir, I don't know how to act! ”
Li Siwei glared at him, "You're afraid of a hammer, and you didn't ask you to sing on stage!" Go find a few brothers, bring pots and bowls and go to the village with Lao Tzu, bring the rest of the chickens, ducks and canned food, and go to stew soup. ”
"It's as simple as that?" Wei was stunned.
Li Siwei smiled and nodded, "You just stew the soup well, the thicker the stew, the better, and the more fragrant the stew, the better!" ”
"That's no problem," Wei Yidao hurriedly turned around, "I'll arrange it." ”
"Battalion Commander Li, what's the use of this?" Shi Meng was confused, and the others were also full of doubts.
Li Siwei said with a smile: "Acting, naturally, it's for little devils, we want to give them an illusion?" ”
"What delusion?" Liao Heiniu asked.
Li Siwei glared at him, "We want to make the little devils feel that we are unaware of their coming, that they acted quickly and caught us off guard, and then, we fled into this valley in a hurry, only then will they follow unsuspectingly......"
"Understood," everyone nodded in unison, "this play has to be played!" ”
Wei Zheng suddenly said, "Sir, should I bury ambush soldiers on the hills on both sides of the valley mouth?" When the time comes, you can also make dumplings for the little devil. ”
Li Siwei shook his head, "Forget it, there's no need for that." ”
"Not that necessary?" Everyone looked at Li Siwei in puzzlement.
Li Siwei smiled: "Then you will understand......"
"So what are we going to do?" Liao Heiniu asked, and the others also looked at Li Siwei with blank eyes.
Li Siwei pondered for a moment, "There is a rather difficult task...... Black Bull, Shi Meng, you go. ”
"Okay," the two of them eagerly tried, "what's the task?" ”
"Take your brother to the road ahead to set up an ambush," Li Siwei looked at the two of them with a serious expression, "However, you must remember one thing: you can't act without my signal." ”
The two looked at each other and nodded, "What signal?" ”
Li Siwei thought for a while, "When the water rushes through the valley, that's the signal...... Remember? ”
"Hmm," the two nodded hurriedly.
"What about us?" Sen Manzi and the others couldn't hold their breath.
Li Siwei said with a smile: "Barbarian, Heishui choose some brothers with quick legs and feet, let's go to the village to act, and the number one hundred and ten people will be fine...... Wei Zheng and Ji Kui stayed behind with their brothers, remember, don't startle the snake. ”
"Okay," everyone agreed, and went their separate ways.
Winter dusk always comes very early, and the miserable white sunset hangs on the gray sky, struggling weakly.
In the village, three large cauldrons are set up in the open space, the firewood is booming, the chicken soup is getting thicker, and the aroma is wafting in the Shuangqugou.
All the soldiers gathered in a circle, chatting about the mountains and women, and they were happy and peaceful.
Li Siwei and five soldiers lay in ambush at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, staring closely at the road to the south...... Acting, the most important thing is Hou Huo! He had to handle it himself.
"Sir, when will the little devil arrive?" A warrior asked in a whisper.
Li Siwei glanced at him and said with a smile: "Ergou, don't panic, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the longer we wait, the better the chance of winning, understand?" ”
"Oh," Chen Ergou nodded as if he didn't understand.
At this time, a warrior whispered, "Here comes the little devil......
"That's a lot," the other warrior cried out a little nervously.
The team of little devils appeared in the eyes of everyone one after another, neatly lined up, and the momentum was mighty, like a long dragon churning on the road, and there was no end in sight.
"Hit!" Li Siwei made a quick decision.
"Bang bang......" everyone subconsciously pulled the trigger.
When the vanguard of the little devils heard the gunshots, they were startled and avoided them one after another.
The bullet whistled, but it fell weakly in front of the little devil's team, sending a puff of smoke and dust...... The first few little devils came back to their senses, were furious, picked up their guns and rushed forward.
Li Siwei shouted, "Withdraw!" "Turn around, scatter your legs and run.
As soon as the little devil saw that a few timid people were about to run, he chased after him with a whoa-wow, and put his gun away as he chased, but the distance was too far, and only a puff of smoke and dust was splashed.
Li Siwei led a few people to rush through the valley, got into the village, and waved his hand at everyone, "The big drama has begun." ”
The crowd immediately took action and ran into the valley in a panicked manner.
"Bang...... "Three pots, knocked over two, and the fragrant chicken soup was poured on the firewood, raising a puff of white smoke.......
When the little devil chased to the mouth of the valley, he smelled the fragrance, and saw a group of people running out of the village in a hurry, and fled into the valley in a panic.
Li Siwei and the others were scattered in formation, and from time to time they turned around and put their guns indiscriminately, looking panicked. The little devil was very excited, and he also picked up his gun and shot indiscriminately.
"Bang bang ......" chaotic gunfire echoed in the valley, and the little devil didn't have time to use heavy weapons, so he could only chase after him with a big cover, the gunfire was dense, but none of the shots could hit anyone.
The little devil's brigade drove mightily to the mouth of the valley, more than a dozen trucks stopped outside the village, Inoue Shaosa hurriedly jumped out of the car, suddenly, he sniffed hard, and a strong smell of chicken soup entered his nostrils...... His stomach unconsciously "gurgled", and streams of saliva welled up from the bottom of his tongue.
"Report to Shaozo," a lieutenant officer hurried over, "the car of the Gangcun squadron was found at the entrance of the village. ”
"Report to Shaozo," another second lieutenant officer hurriedly reported, "and the chicken soup stewed by the people of China was found in the village. ”
"Yaga!" Inoue Shaoza scolded angrily, "Arrogant Shina! Their warriors chased them all the way hungry, while the Shina people, whom they had always looked down on, were stewing chicken soup......
"Shao Zuo," an officer hesitated, "The people of China can destroy the Gangcun squadron, and their strength should not be underestimated." ”
Inoue Shaozo was stunned, only to hear the gunfire in the double ditch, it seems that the strength of the people is not weak, and they must be eliminated in one go!
Inoue Shaosa looked up at the terrain, and then ordered: "Yokotani squadron and Takeda squadron climb the ridge and outflank from both flanks, and the other troops will follow me into the valley ......"
"Shao Zuo," an officer advised, "the terrain of this valley is treacherous......
Inoue Shaosa interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Kitajima-kun, you are too worried, the people of China fled in a hurry, and they were just taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and they couldn't be allowed to have a chance to breathe." ”
"Hey," the crowd didn't dare to persuade again.
Inoue Shaozo strode towards the village, and when he passed by the village clearing, he glanced at the pot of chicken soup and instructed one of his attendants: "Ueno, take care of this pot of soup, and when the warriors triumph, drink together!" ”
"Hey," a young guard agreed, and went to look after the pot.
Li Siwei ran towards the embankment with his brothers, turning back from time to time with his guns in hand...... There is no need to aim, just put it indiscriminately, regardless of whether it can hit the enemy or not.
Wei Zheng was heartbroken when he saw it on the hillside, and muttered, "What is Chief Li doing?" It's so far away that you can't hit the little devil, he's wasting bullets......"
Ji Kui also saw it and glanced at him, "Hehe, since it's acting, you have to act more seriously, and if you don't make the momentum bigger, how can the little devil send heavy troops to chase after him?" ”
"Shall we fight?" Wei Zheng looked at the two machine guns and hesitated.
Ji Kui shook his head, "The chief said that you can't startle the snake, just wait......"
The little devil is also in a hurry, this group of people fled faster than the rabbits, chased and couldn't catch up, couldn't hit and couldn't hit, seeing them run up the mountain, they had to keep putting their guns down......
Li Siwei and his entourage of more than 100 brothers hurriedly ran up the embankment, climbed the hillside, and jumped into the trench...... This can't be done, I'm afraid that many little devils haven't entered the valley yet!
As soon as Li Siwei turned around, he shouted at Wei Zheng: "Let the machine gun sound!" ”
"Da da da ......" The two machine guns roared angrily, and they didn't care if they were enough to get the little devil, they just roared vigorously, although the bullets couldn't hit the little devil, the momentum also startled them.
Inoue Shaozo was marching in the Shuangqu ditch with a large group of men and horses, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of machine guns, "Ninety-two? ”
"Yes," a lieutenant officer nodded, "it seems that the people of China have built fortifications in the valley...... "The Type 92 heavy machine gun is a heavy weapon, and there are only eight in a brigade, and it is obviously impossible for the people of China to run so fast that they were temporarily erected."
Inoue Shaozai gritted his teeth, "Muto, go and pull the artillery up." ”
"Hey," Captain Muto commanded.
The artillery squad of Inoue's brigade stopped outside the village, and the two 72 infantry guns were a little heavy, which was not suitable for such a pursuit battle, but it was an invincible weapon, and it was obvious that Inoue Shaozo was determined to wipe out this group of people.
At this time, Captain Yokoya hurriedly chased after him, "Shaozuo, that hillside can't go up at all...... There are traces of vandalism on the hillside, could it be a trick of the Shina people? ”
Inoue Shaozo was stunned, the people of China built fortifications in the valley, and destroyed the road up the mountain, it seems that ...... If there was no matter of the Gangcun squadron, he would not be weak-hearted, but this gang of people can quietly kill the Gangcun squadron...... However, at this point, there is no way out, otherwise, Inoue's brigade will become a joke in the imperial military circles.
Inoue Shaozo gritted his teeth, "Bring everyone in, I want to see what tricks the people can have!" "The valiant Imperial Army is invincible! All intrigues and tricks will be reduced to ashes under the fire of the Imperial Army!
Under the embankment, the little devil began to charge, although the stormtrooper was pressed by two machine guns, but the dozen or so mortars were already being assembled......
Liu Heishui was a little anxious, "Sir, can you blow it up?" "The artillery fire of the little devils has left an indelible shadow on them!
Li Siwei was a little entangled, he arranged it so painstakingly to reduce the casualties of his brothers, as long as the little devil's mortar sounded, casualties were inevitable, but ...... If the reservoir is blown up in such a hurry, I am afraid that many little devils will be able to escape, and a bloody battle will inevitably be inevitable at that time.
He held the telescope captured by Huanghua and stared closely at Shuangqugou, silently counting the number of devils...... Suddenly, a team of devil officers appeared in the binoculars!
Li Siwei was overjoyed and shouted, "Bomb! "This valley is more than ten miles deep, as long as they come in, it will be done, how can the heavily armed little devils run through the rushing flood?
Inoue Shaosa hurried over, he looked at the condescending Shina man, and snorted a little contemptuously, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he stopped on the embankment, and his heart was shocked, "What is that?" ”
One officer replied, "It looks like a dam." ”
Another officer laughed when he heard this: "Do they want to fight against the water?" ”
Inoue Shaozo felt a chill in his heart, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" "But he has read the Three Kingdoms, and he also knows the story of Guan Yun's long flooding of the Seventh Army.
Everyone was stunned.
"That's a trick of the Shina people," Inoue shouted in despair, but it was too late.
A few fireworks rose under the dam, "bang bang ......", and then, the huge embankment trembled, and then collapsed in an instant, the monstrous water waves were dazzlingly white, "boom ......", the water waves were like a dragon breaking free, rushing down the valley, and the whole valley was trembling!
Westerners believe that fire can burn away sin, but, as all mankind knows, water can also wash away all filth!
"It's done," Li Siwei looked at the rushing water dragon, his heart was relieved, and he sat on the ground, he was far from the victory that everyone saw!
He always knew that this was a gamble, and if he was not careful, it would be the lives of his brothers and the morale that he had finally gathered! If the little devil was not so arrogant, if the little devil had explored the terrain first, if those grenades were not powerful enough to blow up the embankment, if ...... Every one of them was like a mountain pressing on his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in the slightest!
