127. Chapter 127
Yamazaki Osa heard the soldiers' discussion and shouted: "Fool, only backward Shina people will be superstitious that there are ghosts in the world, and we are the Imperial Army of Japan, the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, and believe in the spirit of bushido, how can we believe this nonsense?" He glanced at everyone, and said, "Sakurai-kun, the cannon will open the way and bomb all suspicious targets for me." ”
As the saying goes, "Wine strengthens people's courage, and food increases the popularity of the poor", the devils were frightened by the bloody scene in front of them, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, but this artillery fire swept away their fears, and they returned to their former empty-sighted, fierce and cruel nature. Artillery is the courage of infantry, this sentence is really the most correct for devils.
Sakurai Shaoza commanded the artillery, it was like crazy, encountering mountains and bombing mountains, and blowing up forests in every forest, although it gave the soldiers courage, but it also greatly affected the speed of pursuit, and it was nearly evening before they came to the foot of the Broken Arm Mountain. Sakurai Shaosa looked at the lush and tall trees on the mountain, rolled his eyes, and thought, "This mountain is so full of trees, if you launch an artillery bombardment, it will inevitably ignite a fire, and the fire will not burn out in two hours." He did not rashly order the shelling, but waited for Yamazaki Daisa to bring people up, and expressed his concerns.
Yamazaki Daisa imagined that Xu Zhihong would set up an ambush on the ridge to block his own tracking, the enemy was dark and I was clear, if he forced his way through, the casualties would not be small, and he did not hesitate at all, and said two words categorically: "Shelling." ”
Without much effort, the eight Type 92 infantry guns opened fire at the same time, which instantly caused the forest to burn, and the fire spread, like countless fire dragons, roaring wildly with their big mouths open and devouring everything. As soon as the damp trees were ignited, black smoke billowed out, enveloping the sky over the entire Broken Arm Mountain, and in an instant, a beautiful Cangshan Mountain became a "Flame Mountain".
The wolves, wild sheep, and badgers hidden in the mountains were burned by the fire and fled in all directions, which made people feel thrilled and dizzy. Jiang Chuan Shaozo led a machine gun squadron to seal the foot of the mountain, and twelve heavy machine guns rushed to shoot tongues of fire, and the bullets were impenetrable, and none of the escaped beasts were spared.
The devils saw that everywhere the fire dragon went, there was a scorched earth, and all kinds of beasts were screaming and struggling in the fire, which greatly stimulated their original brutal nature, and they shouted and jumped wildly one by one, and the violent spirit was fully revealed.
Yamazaki Daisa did not wait for the fire to burn out, and ordered someone to open a passage and continue the pursuit. When he came to the front line of the sky, Jiang Chuan Shaozuo looked up at the steep peaks rising from the ground, looked at the hazy road, and said: "Your Excellency, it's getting late, look...... Shall we stay first and wait for tomorrow ....... Yamazaki didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, turned back to Sakurai Shaozo and said, "Shell the mountain peak and pursue it overnight." ”
In the night, the devils began a frantic shelling, and in just a few minutes, the sand and rocks were flying, the trees were broken, and the peaks on both sides of the sky were full of smoke and fire.
Liu Hui hid in the cave, and when he saw the flames from the explosion, enveloping the entire mountain of the first line of heaven in a semicircle, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart: "Will such a bombing collapse the first line of heaven?" Can you melt the mountain peaks? Suddenly, someone shouted: "Brother Xia, Sister Hui......" She probed and saw that Zhang Bao was coming with four people, jumped down, landed at the bottom of the mountain, took two boxes of grenades, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you were not scared back by the devil's artillery fire, it's really good." ”
Zhang Bao handed the grenade box on his shoulder to Xia Yifan, who came later, turned his head to look at the red half of the sky, and said: "This power is terrifying enough, but when we think of you here, we are not afraid." Xia Yifan said: "Quickly enter the cave, and when the artillery fire stops, the devil will charge." ”
Sakurai Shaosa poured thousands of shells on the top of the first line of heavenly peaks, and as soon as the artillery fire stopped, Egawa Shaosa swished out his war knife and shouted: "Nishimura squadron, kill to ......"
More than 200 soldiers had already prepared, listening to Jiang Chuan Shaozuo's hoarse roar, and rushed into the Yongdao like a fish. After the bombing, the corridor was filled with piles of rocks and trees that had not yet burned above, and the soldiers braved the hardships and dangers, lifting or picking, opening the passageway and running to the exit with murderous vigour.
The bushes on the summit are still burning, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The two machine gunners were about to shoot when they saw the devil showing their heads, but Liu Hui was extremely calm, and he didn't take the rushing devil to heart, and hurriedly said: "Wait and fight." Wu Yan looked at the devil and shouted, "Brother Zhihong, give the order!" Xu Zhihong said: "When Liu Hui shoots on the side, we can fight." ”
Liu Hui waited for the devils to rush out thirty or forty people before giving the order to shoot. With the gunfire here, Xu Zhihong's side immediately responded, and the four heavy machine guns concentrated on strafing the place where the projectiles were fired, and the lethality was unprecedented, how could the flesh and blood resist? Pity those devils who rushed to the front, in less than a minute, all of them were shot several times and died.
When the leader of the Nishimura squadron heard the sound of a heavy machine gun, he suddenly felt bad and shouted: "Lie down." "The most unfortunate thing was the four devils near the exit, who fell down shortly after their bodies rained bullets, and their heads, backs, buttocks, thighs and other places were full of bullet marks, all of which were dying.
The leader of the Nishimura squadron saw that dozens of people had died before a single shot was fired, and he heard that there were four heavy machine guns roaring just now, and knew that if he rushed out, he would only lose the lives of the soldiers in vain, so he immediately made a decision and shouted: "Retreat." ”
Yamazaki Osa had a gloomy face, and after listening to the report of Squadron Leader Nishimura, he pondered for a long time before he said: "They stuck the exit, we can only build a defense in front of the exit, and then use machine guns to suppress the opponent's fire, so that the soldiers can rush out from both sides." Egawa Shaozo bowed down and said, "Hi! Your Excellency Dazuo is clever, I'll arrange it. ”
Wang Hu saw that the devil had been beaten back, and that the smell of gunpowder in the cave was choking, and asked Liu Hui, "Can I go out to get some air?" Liu Hui pouted and said, "Don't leave the entrance of the cave." Wang Hu walked out of the cave, and after taking a deep breath, his eyes stopped on the corpse of the devil, and said, "Sister Hui, the devil is all useless, and the pus is very full." ”
Ba Short Man intended to curry favor with Liu Hui, and shouted in the cave: "Silly big man, it's not the devil's pus, it's Hui's sister who has a good command, let the four heavy machine guns fight cross, and the devil will grow into a big man like you, and it's also in vain." Wang Hu scolded: "Damn, you are a three-inch ding, you are not allowed to compare devils with me." Ba Nuozi said: "You are stupid, big and dark, and you are not much compared with one another." He laughed as he spoke.
Wang Hu retorted: "Hello? A roe deer rat looks the same as a devil, why don't you compare with each other? "When you go into the cave, you have to do it with your eyes crossed.
