Chapter 19: The Hidden Castle (1)

There are four large barrels of oil in the warehouse, Xiao Linghu took Meng Fanwei to roll a barrel, Lin Jinghan and Liu Jingang also rolled a barrel, came out of the gate of the warehouse, and then followed the passage leading to Dongdaming Road on the side of the west wall, this is still a road with some slopes, the four of them laboriously rolled the two barrels of oil onto the street, in order to prevent the devils in the bunker from hearing, they rolled a distance and stopped to listen.

After all, gasoline is too flammable, and I am afraid that a shuttle of bullets from the devil may blow up the oil barrel.

A hundred meters away from the devil's bunker, they stopped, but Xiao Linghu and Meng Fanwei were on the north side of the street, Lin Jinghan and Liu Jingang were on the south side of the street, and the four of them put down two oil drums, but they were worried that the firepower would not be enough when the oil flowed under the devil's bunker, so they rolled out the other two oil drums in the warehouse, and after everything was ready to stop, it was already early in the morning.

Four people on both sides of the street pried open the lids of the oil drums at the same time, and poured the whole barrel of oil into the gutter, and the strong smell immediately spread, filling the whole night with the choking smell of gasoline.

The first barrel of oil was quickly emptied, and then they poured in the second barrel of oil, and before the second barrel of oil was gone, the devils had already discovered them, and the two pillboxes rang out at the same time, and opened fire on the men who were holding the oil behind.

This is indeed a very dangerous moment, Xiao Linghu immediately made a decision, asked both sides to help up the oil drum that had not been drained, while dodging the bullets, while pushing the gasoline drum away from the distance, and at the same time ordered Meng Fanwei and Lin Jinghan to set fire to the north and south sides of the road respectively.

A hundred meters away, and in the dark, the devils should not be able to detect them, unless they heard the sound of rolling oil drums just now, but if they did, then they should have opened fire just now; Now that they are firing, there is only one explanation, and that is that they smell the gasoline, which must have flowed under the devil's bunker.

Meng Fanwei and Lin Jinghan each struck a match and threw it into the drainage ditch one after the other, and the two of them avoided it at the same time.

The flames jumped up suddenly, like a fire dragon, quickly burned along the drainage ditch to the devil's bunker, and before everyone could take a closer look, they had already reached the devil's bunker.

The sky-high flames suddenly burst out, instantly illuminating half of the sky, and even the surface of the Honghe River was on fire. Soon there were several deafening explosions that blew one of the bunkers apart.

But it turned out that the devils in the bunker piled their ammunition on the wooden planks above the drainage ditch, and the wooden planks were ignited by gasoline, which naturally detonated the ammunition on the wooden planks, and the explosion sound was caused by grenades.

Seeing the devil's bunker being blown up, Xiao Linghu and everyone felt a kind of relief that they had never felt before, as if they saw the scene of those ferocious Japanese struggling and screaming in the firelight.

Xiao Linghu knew that the time was almost up, and according to the agreement with Zhang Cheng in advance, he fired two signal flares with a pistol.

The two signal flares, one red and one green, seemed to be two dragons that were entangled together and flew into the sky, gradually disappearing into the night sky......

Xiao Linghu knew that there would be nothing left in the devil's bunker that had been burned by the fire, the battle here was basically over, and they had won this battle at the lowest cost, but when he thought of Xiao Yang and Da Han, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Linghu didn't say anything more, and walked along the downward passage to the dock, Meng Fanwei was still a little puzzled, followed behind, and asked, "Brother, we must have won this battle, why don't you stay and celebrate with everyone?" ”

"You can't leave Xiao Yang and Dahan here!" Xiao Linghu replied.

Suddenly, everyone was silent, and Liu Jingang and Lin Jinghan, who were excited, also suppressed their smiles, and suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and their faces were already frosty. Especially Liu Jingang, Xiao Yang and Da Han were specially found by him, and they were also his most familiar comrades-in-arms, tears suddenly welled up, he was afraid that Lin Jinghan next to him would see it, turned his head to look at the still burning devil bunker, and saw the shadowy ** soldiers rushing across the bridge, tears were already flowing on his face!

****************************

Xiao Linghu's task was completed, but the operation of the 263rd Regiment had just begun.

Commander Zhang Cheng also needed to command the capture of Zhonghongqiao in the north, where there were also devils' bunkers. It's just that now that the Hongqiao is lost, the Hongqiao has become a protruding peg, and it will be attacked from three sides, and it is a matter of time before it is taken down.

When Zhang Cheng personally came to Xiahongqiao to inspect the devil's bunker, he saw that in the smoke, the five people were walking in the opposite direction, slowly walking from the east to the west, and in the firelight, he recognized Xiao Linghu who was walking in front at a glance.

Xiao Linghu was straddling his specific flower machine gun, but he was still wearing a shirt, not a military uniform, not even a steel helmet, and he looked weak.

Behind him was Meng Fanwei, who was carrying Xiao Yang's corpse; Behind Meng Fanwei was Liu Jingang, who was carrying the corpse of Dahan.

Behind them, followed by Lin Jinghan, who was also wearing a shirt and carrying two flower machine guns, because one of the guns was Meng Fanwei's.

Zhang Shun walked at the end, his head bowed, and his thin body looked very incongruous with the few strong men in front of him.

Xiao Linghu walked to the bridge, and the devil bunker beside him was still burning, and it was not extinguished immediately, but the fire was much smaller.

"Good work!" Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say, he came to Xiao Linghu's side and just patted him on the shoulder intimately.

Xiao Linghu let out a wry smile: "The group seat is too polite!" The battle here has just begun, and we're leaving! ”

Zhang Cheng looked at the two people carrying the corpses behind him, his resolute face was already full of reverence, and he suddenly stood up and saluted the two comrades who had already died.

The night breeze is already a little cool, and although it is still August, it has already passed the beginning of autumn.

"Why are you not wearing clothes? Isn't it cool? Zhang Cheng asked Xiao Linghu with concern, standing at the bridgehead of the Honghe River, the sky was full of the smell of gunsmoke, but there was a moisture in the wind, which formed a situation where it was cool in the morning and evening, and hot during the day.

Xiao Linghu once again let out a wry smile: "Lao Lin and I are still in the boat at the North Dock, and when we came over, we disguised ourselves as devils, and now the devils have been eliminated, so I took off the devil's uniforms for fear of being misunderstood by my brothers!" ”

Zhang Cheng had also heard about Huang Mao's accidental killing, and he could understand Xiao Linghu's helplessness at this time, so he could only comfort him with kind words: "Don't worry, you guys go back and find a place to rest first, this night, I'm really lucky to you!" As he spoke, he added: "As for your boats and clothes, when we take the North Pier occupied by the devils, I will send someone to send them for you!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Xiao Linghu said politely, did not stop any longer, passed the Lower Hongqiao, and walked in the direction of the regimental headquarters of 263.

They are so tired that they all need a good rest!
