The speed of retreat was much more than Sun Yumin expected, and he had to pull down all the recruits who had been withdrawn to the flat stone again, and assist the villagers to retreat to the mountains, so that the speed was much faster than before.

It wasn't until the village was evacuated that Sun Yumin let out a long breath, he was completely uncertain about the upcoming war. And the previous Huoshan County devils, Lu'an devils in the two battles, already fought very hard, although it was said to be a victory, but it was also a tragic victory, the first batch of soldiers trained by the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment, in fact, there are not many, at least more than half of them were killed in these two battles.

Now facing a whole wing of devils, not only with murderous soldiers, but also with the terrified mountain artillery squadron, field artillery squadron, there are four 94-type 90mm caliber mortars assigned to the infantry wing, like 92-type infantry guns, 80mm mortars, grenadiers and other small cannons are even more numerous, the devils who won Lu'an and Huoshan are just bullying them too far away from the main force, but now, their two thousand untrained soldiers, if they really want to be pulled to the battlefield, and the devils in front of them are hard to carry, It's definitely not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

So Sun Yumin had no intention of confronting the devil head-on, even if he would rather lose the village that had just been rebuilt a year ago.

Although most of the people in the town did not leave, almost all of them chose to stay at home, with their doors and windows closed, and there were no figures on the streets and in the town, only a large number of earth dogs in the town kept barking outside the town.

Inuzaburo Inamoto didn't directly let the troops into the town, stopped not far from Foziling, pointed to the town not far in front and asked, "Is it Foziling in front?" ”

The accompanying staff officer opened the map, looked at it, and replied: "Yes, Your Excellency Dazuo, less than two kilometers ahead is Foziling. ”

"Let the mountain artillery squadron set up positions and prepare for bombardment."

Daoben didn't plan to enter the town at all, and he didn't plan to give Wang Degui a chance to be sycophant and flattering, just like he once said, why wait for others to give you charity, just take what you want!

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he pointed to the two burned forests at the bottom of the slope in front of him and asked, "There was a war here?" ”

"Perhaps, there are trenches and shelling on it."

The staff officer who was looking at the map was reminded by Inamoto that he was naturally much more careful in his observation, and pointed to the bare red soil on the hillside and said.

Inuzaburo Inamoto picked up the binoculars in his hand, looked in the direction of the staff officer's finger, and completely looked at the position where Sun Yumin captured Ogasawara at the beginning, and finally came out of his mouth: "If we fall into this capture position, the mountain artillery will not be able to exert its own power, and even if it can rush out, the losses will definitely be great." ”

Seeing a look of disbelief in the staff officer's eyes, Inamoto said again: "If you are in a sea of fire and are ambushed by the Chinese army, I can't calm down." Needless to say, the troops in this ambush circle must have been wiped out, and when you go back, you can check to see if it is the troops of the Imperial Army or the troops of the Imperial Army. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After being tactfully lectured a few words, the staff officer stood up straight, looking very teachable.

"Your Excellency, the mountain artillery squadron is ready, please give an order."

A Japanese soldier ran over, he was the squadron leader of the mountain artillery squadron Sasaki, and like **, the commander of the artillery unit would be one level higher.

"Start the bombardment, let the lowly people of China see the artillery fire of the Imperial Japanese Army."

Inusaburo Inamoto is like a demon who has come out of hell, and there is no mercy or mercy in him.

Hu Hailong walked out of the door of his house in a military uniform, accompanied him for half his life, and gave birth to two sons for him, Mrs. Hu, looked at his departing back affectionately, her eyes full of tears.

Following him all her life, Madame Hu was already more familiar with him than herself, and from the tiniest details, she could know exactly what was going to happen.

When Hu Hailong urged her to turn out the uniform from more than 20 years ago, Mrs. Hu understood that the life of the two of them may have come to an end.

Although Hu Hailong had no expression on his face, he said something incompatible with himself with the affectionate vein that he hadn't used in the past ten years, and with the care that he hadn't used in the past ten years, and Mrs. Hu already knew that he was saying goodbye to herself.

Hu Hailong is like this, he attaches great importance to affection, whether it is to his family or friends and brothers, he is sincere to others, even if he has lived in the wilderness for decades, even if he has given up high-ranking officials because of this.

If he had gone before me, then I would have never been in the world! Mrs. Hu looked at Hu Hailong's back and said to herself silently.

The weather is good today.

The sun is shining, white clouds dot the blue sky, occasionally a trace of fresh wind blows up pieces of green leaves, and some unknown small flowers on the side of the mountain road are blooming beautifully.

If it weren't for the sudden explosion, no one would have thought that on this sunny day, on this day when the breeze was getting rid of the drunkenness, Foziling would suddenly become a Shura field.

When the four 75mm caliber mountain guns of the mountain artillery squadron, the three Type 92 infantry guns assembled from the infantry brigade, and the four Type 94 90mm caliber mortars poured ammunition into Foziling, the whole town was shrouded in mushroom clouds.

With the firelight and violent explosions that could be seen in the daytime, Wang Degui finally threw away the slightest luck in his heart.

The devils came by themselves, that is, they came to Foziling, and in vain they let people prepare sumptuous drinks and food, ready to entertain them.

Bang!

A cannonball exploded in the courtyard of the Wang family's mansion.

This deafening explosion not only frightened Wang Degui to sit on the ground, but also blew up the table with the banquet in the courtyard, and the two subordinates who ran through the courtyard were also sent to the sky by this bomb. Wang Degui saw with his own eyes that the two subordinates, a man and a woman, were thrown high into the sky by the explosion, and quickly fell down, their limbs and torso were implicated by a layer of skin, and the blood gushing out soon flowed everywhere on the floor tiles.

A stream of acid water in his stomach rushed to his throat, and Wang Degui almost vomited. When he was young, he also came from the rain of bullets, but how could there be such a powerful cannon at that time, how could there be such a frightening tragedy, he is now weak in both legs, he fell to the ground and couldn't stand up, and shouted in his mouth: "Wang Fu, Wang Fu, where are you?" Where are you? ”

"Sir, butler...... Chamberlain...... From the morning ...... It's already ...... There is no ...... I saw people. ”

A strong man hiding by the pillar replied to Wang Degui.

He knew this strong man, who had stood guard at the door with a gun before, but now that he had run to the edge of the pillar in the inner courtyard, he had long since lost his gun, and his eyes were full of fear, and he was still trembling when he answered Wang Degui's words.

It was these eleven guns with a small caliber that caused unimaginable heavy damage to Foziling. A small town, battered by dozens or hundreds of shells, was already scarred, and the wooden houses along the street were already on fire. The people who were reluctant to flee for their lives before finally felt what the sky was falling, and the ** who survived let them cry and run out of the town, but in front of the shells, how small people are, how fragile people are, almost every bomb that falls can take a few lives, or destroy a house.

As the largest family of the Wang family's mansion, there are naturally not a few shells that fall; There were also the barracks of the militia group, which were even more fiercely bombarded. Originally, he hoped that the militia would escort him and his family to escape, but even Hu Hailong's best efforts could not gather the militia of hundreds of people. Except for a few henchmen, most of the militia soldiers threw their guns and fled for their lives, and then in Hu Hailong's attention, these scattered deserters were killed by a cannonball.

Hu Hailong sighed, he taught these strong men how to defend against artillery and how to deal with them in an emergency, but when this day really came, these strong men threw everything he taught outside Java.

He personally grabbed a Czech-style and ran to the Wang family's mansion with the remaining dozens of people, where there was still his sworn brother, and he was going to save him. Hu Hailong also did not forget that in his family, there is still a wife who has been with him for decades.

However, he was disappointed, when he passed by the door, before he entered, he saw his wife lying in a pool of blood in front of the gate, there were obvious traces of explosion at the gate, there must have been a cannonball without long eyes falling here, and his wife, must have been from the gate as soon as he came out, waiting for himself to come back, even if there was a deafening explosion everywhere, even if the cannonball could be seen torn apart everywhere, but she did not seem to feel afraid, and stood at the door resolutely, waiting for her to return and pick her up.

"Madame......"

A man as resolute as Hu Hailong couldn't help crying, he picked up the lady covered in blood, and cried out with compassion in his mouth.

"Deputy regiment, let's run away quickly, the devils will attack immediately after the cannon, and it will be too late if you don't leave."

A battalion commander who accompanied him said that this person had been pinched by Zhou Shanjun's wrist in Yangshupu, and he was not a particularly tolerant person, but at this time of life and death, he and another battalion commander did not abandon Hu Hailong, but chose to follow Hu Hailong.

"Go to the Commander, save the Commander."

Hu Hailong forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and ran to the Wang family's mansion with his wife's body in his arms.

After the two battalion commanders glanced at each other, they picked up the Czech style that Hu Hailong had put on the ground and ran behind him.

Wang Degui sat paralyzed on the ground, watching the shells fall in his house, a piece of the house that he was proud of, turned into a ruined wall in an instant, the people in the family had long lost control, the valuables in the study that were blown up attracted their crazy robbery, and several ladies in the family also packed up their big bags and put them on themselves, and ran out desperately, no one cared that the owner of the house was still slumped on the ground.

The desolation in Wang Degui's heart cannot be expressed in words, when he saw these people who had taken their treasures being blown away by shells, and jewelry, and treasures fell all over the ground, his heart was no longer distressed, but replaced by inexplicable pleasure.

"Run, run, run, run with my stuff and run like this." Wang Degui suddenly seemed to be crazy, sitting on the ground crying and laughing, which was very different from his usual high-minded appearance.

"Big brother, big brother ......"

A familiar voice came into Wang Degui's ears.

That's right, how could I forget this worship brother. When Wang Degui encountered a great change, the first thing that came to mind was Wang Fu, he had been accustomed to listening to the idea of this housekeeper he picked up over the years, but people disappeared yesterday, and he now wondered if it was this Wang Fu who stabbed himself from the devil behind his back, and Foziling and the Wang family would suffer today's catastrophe. Then I thought of my own children, including the unscrupulous third son Wang Youcai, although he hated him a little, but he didn't blame him very much, the most he couldn't let go of the little daughter, fortunately, she had been picked up by the son-in-law who was not treated by him first, and now he regretted that he did not listen to his son-in-law before, and chose to avoid the edge of the devil. Later, I thought of these ladies of his own, all said that one night husband and wife were a hundred days, but what he was dumbfounded was that when it came to life and death, none of these ladies cared about themselves, but ran away with money and jewelry, not to mention asking themselves, and no one even looked at it.

These people who value themselves, no one takes care of themselves, but they are brothers who have long been cold and forgotten by themselves, who came to save them when the artillery fire was flying and when life and death were at stake, Wang Degui felt guilty and ashamed, slapped himself hard, and then shouted loudly: "Hailong, I'm here." ”

After more than a dozen shells were fired from each cannon, Inusaburo Inamoto's telescope could clearly see that the town, which was originally prosperous and peaceful, had now become a pile of ruins and turned into rubble.

"Kill all the people in the town, and leave no one behind."

After the devilish Inuzaburo gave this order coldly, the soldiers who had already opened their teeth and claws roared towards the Buddha Ridge that had been baptized by artillery fire, as if they were a group of hungry wolves smelling of blood, a group of demons who wanted to tear apart all living beings.

Hu Hailong's body was stained with blood, he kept holding his wife tightly, who was already a cold corpse, and refused to let go, and only after seeing Wang Degui who was paralyzed on the ground did he put her down.

"Sea Dragon, I can't stand you."

Wang Degui's remorse in his heart is not a little bit, if he can choose again, he will definitely abandon these fetters and abandon these things that are pulling his money.

"Big brother, don't say that, it's important for us to flee for our lives first, and we will avenge this blood feud in the future."

His beloved wife was killed, and Hu Hailong's generation was in pain, but he did not lose his due proportion, and he wanted to protect Wang Degui and ran out.

"Sea Dragon, let's go, I can't run out." Wang Degui has been hypocritical for most of his life, but this sentence is from the heart, there was nothing wrong with him, but suddenly his feet lost strength and sensation, and it was impossible to escape by himself.

"Big brother, you can't be discouraged, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we live, one day we can kill again." Hu Hailong thought that Wang Degui was still reluctant to give up these belongings, although he was very angry, he still said to the few remaining strong men and officers who were on guard at the gate: "Decorate yourself with some property." As he spoke, his hand pointed to the gold and silver jewelry scattered all over the place.
