Section VII
Wu Bai saw that the situation was not right, and was about to explain something. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info "Commissioner! Commander! Here they come, here they come! Chief of Staff Huo Dong came to report.
"Coming? Check it out! Xiao Yazhi looked at her watch, the time was about the same as expected, she took the lead in jumping up, threw the wine bottle in her hand to the ground, and walked forward, Huo Dong hurriedly rushed in front to lead the way.
A few people came to a place with a good view. Xiao Yazhi took the telescope handed over by Huo Dong and raised it to take a look, and the grain convoy that arrived as scheduled appeared in the lens, counting a total of ten bamboo rows, and the fully armed communist troops on the bamboo rows were clearly visible. The place where Xiao Yazhi and the others stood was at the entrance to the right side of the river, not far from the mountain, that is, on the butt of the "red deer", a place with an excellent view. Xiao Yazhi handed the telescope to Wu Bai and asked Huo Dong, "Are you ready?" ”
"It's all set. This time, we dispatched nearly 300 people, according to the plan, on the opposite mountain, arranged more than 100 people along the way, our side is the focus, the communist army will go ashore from this side, therefore, more than 150 people were arranged along the way, and dozens of other people, carrying machine guns, occupied the commanding heights of the 'red deer head'. In this way, one at the two ends and one in the middle, the Lord of Yama will have to die here. Now, just wait for your signal to be ready to fight. ”
"Good! Signal the brethren immediately. Xiao Yazhi ordered.
"Yes!" Huo Dong waved his hand to the herald beside him, and the herald waved the small red flag with both hands and signaled to the mountain.
Two or three fisherman-like men who had been waiting at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, seeing the signal, opened the fence, released more than a hundred ducks, and drove them into the river. The weather is hot, and the ducks who have long been locked up with dry mouths keep flapping their wings, tiptoeing, taking "duck steps", desperately running to the water's edge, plunging into the water, "hulala" a river full of ducks, these ducks "quack...... quack" happily, keep pointing their heads to the water, frolicking...... All this, ducks full of eyes in all directions, can be seen from afar.
"Look at that, duck! The communist army is coming in. The bandits from all walks of life did not dare to slack off, and began to hold their breath and prepare for battle.
The bamboo row turned a corner, entered the slow water area, and suddenly became wide in front of it, and as far as the eye could see, the high "red deer head" peak on the opposite side sat and watched, faintly revealing a murderous aura. "This is the mouth of the Danjiang River. Commonly known as 'red deer's foot'. Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang drove through the mountains and passed by here, and saw a red deer that was extremely majestic, so he became murderous and hunted all the way here. The red deer was blocked by the Belle River, so he had no choice but to jump into the river, kept drinking the river water, and his body gradually expanded and grew up, until he became what he is now, and did not stop. Hence the name. The guide said. After Cui Honglin heard this, he suddenly felt that this story was too murderous, and then looked at the surrounding terrain, as if he was trapped in the mountains, and many years of combat experience made him realize that this was an excellent place for ambushes. When this thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but shiver all over. Not good! Wouldn't it be terrible if bandits set up an ambush here?
"Fourth squad leader! Blow the whistle now, put yourself on alert, and get ready for battle! Cui Honglin said sharply.
The fourth squad leader was suddenly ordered by the platoon commander, stunned for a moment, looked at the terrain left and right, quickly understood, hurriedly whistled, and suddenly the short whistle of "drip, drip, drip,......" resounded through the Danjiang estuary. "Prepare for battle!" The guns in the hands of the soldiers were loaded and ready to shoot at any time, and the machine guns were also mounted on the rice bags, and everyone vigilantly observed the movements around them.
The river flows slowly from both sides of the bamboo raft, not far away came the sound of the ducks "chirping", after a while, a large number of ducks swam towards the bamboo raft, perhaps smelling the fragrant fragrance of rice on the bamboo raft, the ducks surrounded the bamboo raft on both sides, and kept sticking their heads to the water.
"Where did you get so many ducks? I know that there is no one living in this area, except for the road on the right. The guide was puzzled. When Cui Honglin heard this, he was also very suspicious, how could anyone raise ducks in this deserted place? There must be a reason for this, and he looked around vigilantly, looking for something suspicious. However, there was nothing to be seen except the vast mountains and trees.
Hearing the whistle, Xiao Yazhi frowned, and Wu Bai asked, what's going on? After Huo Dong observed with a telescope, he said that it might be that the communist army had discovered something and was already on alert. Huo Dong asked for instructions on whether to launch an attack? Wu Bai looked at Xiao Yazhi with an inquiring eye, waiting for Xiao Yazhi's order.
Xiao Yazhi wanted to go through the binoculars, observed it, and said to Wu and Huo: "Don't worry, there is no change in the formation of the communist fleet, which means that the communist army has not discovered us, but is just worried that there is an ambush, regardless of him, let them come in a little more." Xiao Yazhi stared at her watch and waited quietly. Good! She waved her hand, and Wu Bai quickly waved his hand at the herald, who raised his flare gun and fired a red flare into the sky.
The red flares rising in the sky are the orders for bandits from all walks of life to attack. For a time, in all directions, there was a loud burst of gunfire and a rain of bullets densely attacked the flotilla. Some bullets hit the bamboo rafts and the water, "popping" and "popping", and some bullets hit the rice bags, and the white flowers of rice were scattered all over the bamboo rafts.
Unable to withstand the fierce attack from all directions, the soldiers and boatmen had nowhere to hide, they were shot and fell into the water, some of them were sacrificed on the rice bags with their guns, and the blood that flowed out of the soldiers and boatmen stained the rice with white flowers and the surrounding river water, and the soldiers who fell into the river because they were not familiar with the water, struggled, and soon sank into the river and disappeared without a trace. The ducks on both sides of the bamboo raft were killed by bullets, wounded, and ran.
The machine gun on the top of the "Red Deer Head" peak, like a talisman in the hand of Lord Yama, kept yelling at the fleet, eager to eat the entire fleet in one bite before he was willing. Cui Honglin saw that there was a dead end ahead, so he had to order the boatmen to support the bamboo raft and retreat, and collect the other boatmen and soldiers who still survived on the bamboo raft while retreating.
The battle continued. Many bamboo rafts, some boatmen sacrificed, and some boatmen with good water quality, seeing that there was nowhere to hide and could not wait for death, simply jumped into the water and dived to escape. The bamboo rafts, which no one controls, lie on the surface of the river horizontally and vertically, drifting with the current. The soldiers who did not sacrifice, knowing that they would die if they fell into the water, had no choice but to insist on fighting the enemy on the shore to the end on the bamboo raft that was spinning out of control.
"Comrades! We have no way out, that is, we die, we also have to be with food, if we can kill a bandit, it will be counted as one, and if we can kill him, it will be counted as a pair. Yang Zhong, the leader of the fifth squad, shouted to the remaining soldiers in the squad, shooting at the enemy on the shore as he shouted.
"Did you see the deputy platoon commander?" Urging Honglin shouted.
"Platoon commander! The deputy platoon commander has already died. There aren't a few left on our side. A soldier said, looking through a few scattered bamboo rafts with no living people.
