Chapter 66: The Burning of Watanabe
It is said that the devil was led into an alley dozens of feet deep, and suddenly a burst of quicklime fell all over the sky, scattering the devil's face, and a large amount of dried lime powder floated in the air, like a thick white mist, which did not disperse for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The devils can't open their eyes with pain, they can't breathe, they can't cough or sneeze, and when they cough and sneeze, they will inhale more lime dust, and they will cough and sneeze more violently. The whole chest cavity hurt like it was about to explode.
After a long time, you will die of holding your breath.
There is just such a place in the alley, the devils you hit me, I squeeze you, and trample on your feet, rubbing the lime on everyone's clothes and flying the lime dust on the ground.
For a long time, the lime mist could not be dispersed, and the pain of the devil was even greater. The devils all have bayonets on their guns, and when they close their eyes, they will inevitably hit people with bayonets, some of them will be stabbed and some will be stabbed to death.
At this time, there were loud gunshots at both ends of the alley, and the members of the Xianghu detachment who were ambushed at both ends of the alley concentrated their firepower and opened fire inside.
The alleys are so narrow that there is no need to aim at all, and there is no empty gun. The penetration of those thirty-eight guns is particularly powerful, and if one bullet is fired, it may be able to shoot through two or three devils.
The leader of the team, Jiro Kawae, is more experienced, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, the lime powder fell down without a head and a face. Hurriedly closed his eyes, held his breath, saw the opportunity, and rushed out of the alley with a gun.
The team members were busy dealing with the large group of devils, and they didn't care about escaping one or two. In this way, Kawae Jiro escaped with his life, and ran without his life, panicking like a lost dog.
There are more than 50 people in the Chuanjiang squad, except for the squad leader Kawae Jiro who escaped, the rest were all wiped out!
Let's talk about the devil in the middle lane, led by the captain Watanabe Arita Shaozo himself, escorting Zhang Zhong's prisoner car and going straight to Xianghukou.
It was a strategy that had been developed after much planning. The purpose is to lure out the Xianghu detachment and encircle and annihilate it.
Before, the devil and the Xianghu detachment fought many times, and each time they were defeated, they sent troops to encircle and suppress, and their own losses of soldiers and horses were not counted, and even the shadow of the Xianghu detachment was not very clear.
In particular, the Tsuchihachi Road named Monkey is said to be only a teenage boy, but it made the black-clothed man on Yamamoto's side suffer a big loss, and even the top masters sent from above like Kibachi Onizuka failed to escape with his life.
However, this time the monkey probably had no way to escape. Either you don't come out, as soon as you show up, then shoot and kill at all costs.
No matter how high your martial arts are, you can't stand a gun?
Watanabe knows the Chinese too well. Chinese are emotional, and people like monkeys are even more emotional. Will a monkey watch his apprentice being killed without coming to his rescue? No, he had to.
As long as you make a move, the two squads on the left and right wings come up in a pack, don't say it's a monkey, you don't want to fly out even if you're an eagle!
As long as the monkey is destroyed, the previous failures can be made up, and it is good to have an explanation for the superiors.
Watanabe was walking with wishful thinking, and the team came to Huojia Alley unconsciously. This Huojia Alley is not the name of the village, but the name of the place. This is a loess roadway two or three zhang wide, two zhang deep, and more than one mile long.
This alley is close to Huojiazhuang, so the locals call it Huojia Alley.
This place is located at the junction of Sulu, and there should not be such terrain, but Huojia Alley has a history.
A thousand years ago, the Yellow River was diverted, invaded and seized the Huai, and the Shu River entered the Yellow River into the sea. More than 100 years ago, the course of the Yellow River was changed to the Shandong side, and the Shu River did not enter the Huai waterway, and the flood flooded, and the Shu River could not hold so much water, and it almost broke every year.
One year, the flood was very large, and the back of Huojiazhuang burst, at that time, the government did not care, the people were powerless, and the mouth was open for more than ten years, almost allowing the Shuhe River to be diverted.
Later, the breach was blocked, and the loess alley that washed out did not accumulate water, but became a shortcut.
The devil walked to the entrance of Huojia Alley, and suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from the east. Watanabe rode on his horse, and with a wave of his hand, the team stopped.
But the shot stopped firing again. Watanabe sneered, it must have been the harassment of Tubalu over there, which led to the division of troops here to rescue there, and the monkey took the opportunity to rescue Zhang Zhong.
"Roar! I just don't fall for you. Watanabe Arita thought proudly, "If you have the ability, you will come out." ”
Then, two more gunshots rang out, and after a pause, there was another dense burst of gunfire. Then there was silence, and no more gunshots were heard.
"As I expected." Watanabe was even more proud. "Let's see what else you can do with monkeys."
According to common sense, a squad of devil regulars, as well as a machine gun, even if the regular troops of the Eighth Route came, it was impossible to solve the battle in such a short time.
The only explanation is that they are harassed by the dirt eight roads, and they run away after a few shots, which is their usual method of warfare.
"Forward!" Watanabe waved his hand, and the devil team entered Huojia Alley, and when they walked to the middle, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”
A devil came running, it was Jiro Kawae. Watanabe reined in his horse: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Jiro Kawae gasped and said, "Your Excellency Shaosa." My squad is gone. ”
Watanabe was a little confused: "What? What's all gone? ”
"That's it...... It's just ......" Kawae was about to explain when the situation suddenly happened.
Suddenly a bundle of burning firewood and grass fell in front of the group. At the same time, a bundle of burning firewood and grass also fell behind the line. Immediately after that, burning firewood and grass fell on both sides of the alley.
The weather was dry and dry, the firewood and grass "huhulala" burned, and some branches were poured with tung oil and sprinkled with sulfur, the fire flew wildly, and the smoke rolled.
Watanabe pulled out his sword and shouted "Wow Wow", trying to stabilize the formation, but there was still anyone listening to him. The fire burns and smokes, and the devils are in chaos. Watanabe's war horse under the crotch screamed "咒咒". The horses pulling the prisoner carts also barked.
Some devils want to climb on both sides of the alley, but the loess cliff wall is as steep as the wall, how can they climb it? Some climbed halfway and fell, and were somewhat shot down by the guns of the Xianghu detachment.
Suddenly, a person flew down from the alley, it was Wang Dabiao. He landed on the prisoner cart, kicked the devil who was driving the cart, picked up the whip and "snapped" a few whips, and with a flick of the reins, the two horses galloped wildly. "Hulala" rushed out of the sea of fire.
The devil just wanted to pursue, and more firewood and grass fell. The devil's life is gone, where can he take care of the prisoner car or not.
The fire burns, whirring, the heat rushes up, and the air at both ends of the alley flows over to replenish, which forms the wind, and the fire borrows the wind, and the more it burns, the more it burns, the more it burns.
The devils had nowhere to hide or hide, and they burned to the earth, and the ghosts cried and howled. Burnt clothes and flesh, pungent smell, burnt and unpleasant.
At this time, Watanabe was riding on a horse, and the horse jumped and rushed, almost throwing Watanabe off his horse. Watanabe couldn't take care of the team anymore. Aimed at the horse's buttocks is three whips, and the reins are shaken.
It was a well-trained war horse. With a chirp, he ran and rushed out of the sea of fire in an instant. The team chased him and shot him a few times in the buttocks, but he didn't hit it, and they didn't care about it.
The rest of the devil soldiers in the alley are miserable.
