Chapter 55: The Wrath of the Yi River
When Kameda Jushiro jumped to the river bank with Lieutenant General Sakagaki on his back, Lieutenant General Sakagaki began to struggle hard. Since the man could not borrow his strength in the air, the lieutenant general finally broke free from Kameda Jushiro's arm. It is precisely because these two people did not cooperate well in the air, of course, there was no good posture when they landed.
Kameda Shishiro is head-down, one head planted on the riverbank, fortunately there is a very thick silt on the riverbank, this kid has been working since childhood, his body is more flexible, and he adjusted the landing posture a little at the critical moment, so that he did not twist the cervical vertebrae. However, this was enough for Kameda, the kid, to pull his head out of the mud and lie on the ground for half a minute. After he recovered a little, he immediately got up and went to look for his lieutenant general, only to see that Lieutenant General Sakagaki was lying face down in the mud three meters away from him, motionless!
This frightened Kameda, and the lieutenant general fell to his death like this? Kameda crawled to the lieutenant general's side and turned the lieutenant general over with force. Lieutenant General Sakagaki had already sealed his mouth and nose by the mud on the river beach. Since the man was unconscious, he didn't even have the strength to struggle and resist, and if Kameda hadn't turned him over, Lieutenant General Sakagaki would have become the first division commander in the Japanese army to be suffocated by the mud. Kameda hurriedly pulled out the mud from the lieutenant general's nose and mouth, so that the lieutenant general had the ability to breathe.
I thought that I would be able to avoid a catastrophe in this way, but who expected that an even greater disaster would befall these two victims in the next second. A wave that was much higher than their heads swept over their heads with a "wow". These two devils, who fled to the shore at great risk, were immediately drowned by the roaring waters of the Yi River!
Soaked in water, the mud in Lieutenant General Sakagaki's nose and mouth was immediately washed away, and the lieutenant general, who was in a deep coma, seemed to be blessed by the gods, and at this critical moment, he miraculously regained his senses! It's just that the lieutenant general, who came to his senses, immediately fell into an even greater panic, and he was now flooded!
Just when Lieutenant General Sakagaki was trying to put his mouth out of the water but couldn't, the wonder boy Kameda Jushiro appeared in front of the lieutenant general again. The person who fell into the water, when he saw anything nearby, would grab it, otherwise how could there be a "life-saving straw", and even more, the person next to him was the Kameda Jusaro, who came to the rescue of His Excellency the Lieutenant General? At this time, the lieutenant general showed a flexibility and courage that was completely inconsistent with his age and size, and as soon as he hugged Kameda's thigh, he was desperate, and he did not let go of life or death.
Kameda Jushiro was originally here to save the lieutenant general, but Lieutenant General Itagaki hugged his thigh, just so that he didn't need to reach out to catch people anymore. Kameda stroked with both hands, twisted his buttocks, and wanted to float up, but after a few floats, he didn't float! Although Lieutenant General Itagaki does not have as much strength as Kameda Jushiro, he has been pampered for many years, and his weight is one hundred and eighty pounds, and now he is afraid in his heart, and he is like an octopus to entangle Kameda. Kameda's two legs couldn't move, and he still had a big burden of about 200 catties on his body (Lieutenant General Itagaki was originally less than 200 catties, and he drank a stomach full of water, plus his clothes were all wet inside and out, and his clothes were also full of water, and if he added the two, he would be in his early 200s. Kameda has been accustomed to salted fish since he was a child, and it is not uncommon for him to know how heavy something is when it hits his body, and he can accurately judge the change in the weight of His Excellency Lieutenant General at this time. No matter how good his water nature is, he can't reach the surface of the water.
Seeing the two of them sinking to the bottom of the water again, Kameda was really anxious. People can not be saved, officials can not be promoted, although his life is not very happy, but he really hasn't lived enough, and he doesn't want to become a god with His Excellency the lieutenant general who is a lot of age at all. After two struggles and didn't break away, Kameda was fierce, and a fist hit the back of Lieutenant General Itagaki's head, and the lieutenant general let go of his hands and feet softly and slowly sank down.
Without dragging, Kameda kicked on both feet, quickly jumped out of the water, and when he entered the eye, there was a piece of **, except for water, he couldn't see anything. Suddenly remembering the lieutenant general in the water, Kameda panicked for a while, and then he remembered that the lieutenant general was with him, and if he drowned in the water, he would be the consequences. After figuring out how terrible this was, Kameda gritted his teeth, and a fierce man plunged into the water again.
Fortunately, Kameda's water nature is really good, and his luck is quite good, and after swimming in the water for a few laps, he really found His Excellency the Lieutenant General, who is drifting with the tide and slowly evolving into the water tribe. Kameda quickly swam to the lieutenant general's side, holding Lieutenant General Itagaki by the collar and paddling with all his strength, and before he could use all his strength, the heads of the two finally showed the water.
Kameda dragged the lieutenant general to paddle in the water, paddle. I don't know how long it has been. Kameda had lost sensation in all his limbs, and just when he thought he was going to return to heaven with the lieutenant general today, a dinghy rowed over.
Not all the people in the Fifth Division stood on the pontoon bridge and waited for the water to come, some of them crossed the river, and many of them did not. The boat was sent by the troops who had not yet had time to cross the river. Although most of the people in the Sakagaki Division don't know how to water, and although there are no ferries on both sides of the Yi River, the dignified Fifth Division has 10,000 or 20,000 people, and if they want to make a few small sampans to save people, they can always do it, right? No one knows how to water anymore, and there won't be no one at all, isn't Kameda an exception? With Kameda, of course there will be other people. What's more, it's not just one Kameda who is following Itagaki Nakasho, there are dozens of people who know water alone. When these people found out that the lieutenant general was missing, they immediately returned to the other side of the river, urgently made an emergency boat, and then began to search for the lieutenant general all over the world.
After the lieutenant general left the water, he was immediately treated in time. Since the boats are all capable people in the water, of course they know how to treat the victims who fall into the water. With everyone's efforts, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, who had just drunk too much water from the Yi River, finally woke up. The lieutenant general seemed to have forgotten all about what happened underwater, and looked at Kameda with the kindness and kindness of an old father looking at his only son, "Thirteen Lang, you saved me, right?" What a good guy. ”
The lieutenant general's words made Kameda Shisaro, who was worried because of his impolite behavior to the lieutenant general underwater, feel at ease, and also made the eyes of other people around him look at Kameda full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Lieutenant General Sakagaki was protected by Kameda and a group of soldiers with good water skills, and he temporarily passed the dangerous period. The rest of the devils of the Fifth Division, who were crossing the river by pontoon bridge, and who had just crossed the river and were preparing to cross the river and had just walked to the riverbank, were not so lucky. The water of the Yi River, which rushed down from the upstream, swept away everything with the power of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, and suddenly broke the three pontoon bridges that the devil sappers had worked so hard to build like toys! The thousands of devils who were passing on the pontoon bridge were like dumplings on the pot, and were pulled into her broad embrace by the strong arm of the god of the Yi River, and became the food for the fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs in the river like the many people who fell into the water in this river for countless years.
The turbulent river overflowed the riverbank, and on both sides of the riverbank, including Lieutenant General Sakagaki, two or three thousand devils were swept into the river by the tyrannical river and made friends with the water tribes in the river. After this calculation, there was a ghost of the wing who died in the Yi River in the early morning of this rainy day. The next day, after the water of the Yi River receded, Lieutenant General Sakagaki, who was lucky enough to escape with his life, counted the losses and found more than 500 corpses, and the number of missing people reached more than 4,500.
Lieutenant General Sakagaki, who was furious, ordered the two brigades to search twenty miles upstream along the river, and ordered all the remaining sappers under his command to immediately rebuild the pontoon bridge. He must kill the river, and he must give a little color to the third army on the opposite side, which is already extremely weak and can only play tricks and inflict serious losses on the imperial army! He not only wanted to completely annihilate this squadron, but also gave the Chinese in the city on the other side a little bit of strength, letting them know what a terrible thing it would be to offend the imperial army, the Fifth Division, and his Lieutenant General Sakagaki!
This time, the unexpected flood of the Yi River not only caused heavy losses to the Fifth Division, but also caused Lieutenant General Sakagaki himself to suffer heavy damage, and the only one who benefited was probably Kameda Jusaro. This loyal private was promoted to lieutenant the next day after the lieutenant general's emotions were brought under control, one level higher than the lieutenant general had promised him a second lieutenant.
The successful implementation of the water attack plan this time caused the devils to suffer heavy losses, but it was far from the extent that these devils lost their attack power. Especially after feeling hurt and furious, the old devil of Sakagaki frantically drove his subordinates to build a pontoon bridge again, and the Third Legion, from Pang Bingxun to Gao Quan, had no way to deal with it. The difference in strength is too great! I know that I can't let the devil build the bridge, but I can't do anything. The water attack plan can only be used once, and now even if you want to build a dam to store water, it will be too late in time. What's more, how can the two brigades patrolled by the devils along the river get along?
City Hall, Linyi Garrison Conference Room, Pang Bingxun and Gao Quan sat on both sides of the conference table, today's meeting was only attended by the supreme rulers of the two Third Legions and the most powerful leaders, and the others could not enter Pang Bingxun's eyes now.
For the water attack launched by Gao Quan, Pang Bingxun admired it from the bottom of his heart. In the current situation of troops, it is still possible to win such a battle, and it cannot but be said that Gao Quan, the actual commander of this battle, is a military command wizard. Pang Bingxun looked at Gao Quan, feeling relieved and uneasy. It is gratifying that such a brave and resourceful general is a brigade commander under his subordinates, and all his achievements will be credited to himself, a superior who is undoubtedly in name or in fact. What is uneasy is that the scheming Pang Bingxun saw the obvious unruliness in Gao Quan's eyes, this person is not something he can control at all, so was it right or wrong to recruit him at the beginning? Pang Bingxun was a little puzzled.
"Junzuo, if the war zone still doesn't send us reinforcements, with the current strength of our army, I'm afraid this Linyi City will really not be able to hold it." It was Gao Quan who broke the silence first. In any case, he is at the bottom level, and since the legion commander Pang Bingxun has no intention of speaking first, of course, he can only speak first.
"Without the order of the Commander's Department, our army cannot retreat from Linyi without authorization." Pang Bingxun was really helpless, how could he not know that these people under his command could not withstand the Fifth Division now? "Fortunately, some time ago, at your insistence, the residents of the city were evacuated, so that we have no worries. It's a big deal, all of our manpower is left in Linyi City! Is it a soldier, to die in the war with the Japanese is also a good way to die. ”
