Chapter 120: The Bloody Battle of Merchant Fort (4)
There was a sound of getting dressed from behind, and after a while, a voice full of hatred sounded in Liu Tianshu's ears: "Little devil, I'm going to kill you." ”
Then I heard the screams of the devil, and after a while, the screams of the devil disappeared, Liu Tianshu turned around and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, holding a bayonet in both hands, and the bayonet that flashed cold light was dripping blood.
The girl was sitting on the ground at this time, looking at the devil who had died in front of her, and suddenly dropped the bayonet in her hand with a bang, covered her face with both hands, turned around and threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman with tears on her face next to her, and cried bitterly.
Liu Tianshu turned his head, looked at the two of them and said: "This sister-in-law, the devil who plagued you is dead, the village has been broken by the devil, it is not safe here, you better pack up and hide in the back mountain first." ”
At this time, the woman had come back to her senses, and knelt in front of Liu Tianshu with her daughter, and shouted with a cry: "Juanzi, quickly, kowtow to the life-saving benefactor." Quick, Juanzi. ”
The girl who was crying heard the sound, turned her head, and kept kowtowing to Liu Tianshu, Liu Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward to help the two, and then took the two of them, carefully out of the yard, and ran to the back of the stockade.
Out of the courtyard, the three of them surprisingly did not encounter any more devils, as if there were no devils in the entire village.
After running for a while, he ran into Geng Tianlong and Lin Hua, and after Liu Tianshu asked Lin Hua to take the mother and daughter to run to the back mountain, he and Geng Tianlong ran to the front again.
After running through several courtyards and finding that there seemed to be no devils in the stockade, and after the gunfire outside the stockade became more and more intense, Liu Tianshu was anxious and took Lin Hua to the front.
Seeing that he was about to reach the walled gate, Shi Qiang ran from an alley with a group of soldiers.
saw Liu Tianshu and Geng Tianlong. Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan were overjoyed.
"Captain, the devil seems to have withdrawn from the stockade." Shi Qiang said anxiously as he ran this way.
He organized the people to withdraw from the stockade from the back gate, and with the addition of the fortin, he began to have plenty of men. Later, Shi Qiang handed over the matter of organizing the retreat of the people to Shang Wei, and he took Hao Mengxuan, Xie Fei and Long Hai with him. Run to the front.
"Qiangzi, it seems that the devils have concentrated their forces to deal with Platoon Commander Li and them, quickly, send a signal to Platoon Commander Li and let them wait for an opportunity to retreat." Liu Tianshu found that the devil concentrated his forces to attack the second level, and immediately asked Shi Qiang to send a signal.
Shi Qiang took Xie Fei and immediately rushed into a small courtyard, found firewood and grass to light it, and then poured it with water. After a while, a column of smoke rose again.
When Liu Tianshu sent Shi Qiang's signal, he took Geng Tianlong, Hao Mengxuan and Long Hai to quickly approach the gate of the wall, and saw that the devils left a lot of people around the gate, among which the imperial army was arranged around the gate.
It seems that the devil is ready to recapture the second level, and then concentrate his forces to sweep the village.
Seven Imperial Concordant soldiers were seen lying in a makeshift bunker. Liu Tianshu made a gesture to Hao Mengxuan and Long Hai, and the three of them found a place on the roof in the distance. Then he removed the rifle from his back and began to shoot at the Imperial Army from a distance.
Liu Tianshu was lying on the roof of the house, and when he saw an imperial allegorist turn around and talk to his companion next to him, his head was exposed, and he immediately moved the muzzle to aim, and steadily pulled the trigger. With the crisp sound of gunshots, the bullet flew towards the head of the Imperial Allied Army with extremely high speed, and a cloud of blood mist rose up, and the Imperial Allied Army's body fell to the side as soon as it was crooked.
Seeing this, the rest of the Imperial Army fired desperately into the stockade in horror. But the body was cowered in the bunker.
At the same time, the devils and the Imperial Association Army arranged on the wall of the village were also alarmed by the sound of the gunshot, and countless devils began to shoot at suspicious places in the village.
It's a pity that Liu Tianshu and the three of them are very skilled in this kind of assault-style combat, Geng Tianlong hid on the roof, saw a devil leaning out and stood up, and immediately pulled the plate machine towards him, only two hundred meters away, it was indeed a little far for him, and the bullet drilled a small hole in the devil's right arm, and failed to bring fatal injury to the devil.
Hao Mengxuan followed Liu Tianshu for more time, and then quietly lay in a corner, slowly looking for the target, and after a while, an imperial army was shot down the wall.
The three of them kept firing at the wall, making Okada, who had retreated to the wall, angry.
One of his reorganized squads had now lost a third of its strength, and the remaining soldiers were ordered by Captain Yoshino to defend the wall until the second checkpoint was recaptured.
Seeing his subordinates and soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army being hit by bullets from time to time, he was not only angry but also angry.
Later, after Okada discovered the roof of the house where Liu Tianshu and the others were hiding, he immediately concentrated four grenadiers to launch a counterattack.
Hearing the whistling sound of cannonballs in the sky, Liu Tianshu knew that something was wrong, and immediately took Hao Mengxuan and a few people, jumped off the roof and ran to the side.
Behind them, the roof of the house was blown to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it collapsed directly.
Chitian's team launched two fierce attacks on the second level in a row, but they were both beaten back by the opponent's dense firepower. In desperation, Yoshino could only concentrate his infantry artillery and Chida's grenadiers, and once again launched a fierce bombardment at the second level.
However, what he didn't know was that Li Shu commanded three platoons, and when he repelled the second attack of the Chitian team, he found another thick smoke rising from the stockade, and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the second checkpoint and quickly run down the mountain.
Yoshino launched a twenty-minute bombardment of the second level in his heart, but all of them were on an empty position.
Li Shu turned around and saw that the position he was defending just now was blown up by the devil's artillery fire, and the explosions were one after another, like a shocking drum, and he couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart that he was lucky.
Fortunately, the evacuation signal sent by the captain came in time, if it was three minutes late, the devil would have lost many of his troops in this round of intensive artillery fire.
Rao was so that the three platoons were reduced to two platoons, among which there were several wounded fighters.
After the twenty-minute artillery bombardment, Yoshino asked a company of Cao Xilai's Imperial Allied Army to be in front and Chida's squad to attack the second checkpoint.
Cao Xilai saw that Yoshino had let his subordinates take the lead again, and he was already angry in his heart.
However, he knew that he had annoyed the Japanese, and he might attack himself and his brothers, so he was discouraged and had to order the second company to attack the second level.
The Imperial Allies of the Second Company rushed to the second checkpoint in fear, but they were surprised to find that not a single bullet was fired at them, and when they rushed to the checkpoint, they couldn't help but be ecstatic.
After the second company successfully occupied the second checkpoint, Chitian's team also rushed up, and saw that the entire checkpoint was in shambles, in addition to the countless imperial soldiers and imperial army who died in battle lying on the position, there were also twelve people dressed as ordinary people.
Judging from the victims lying on the position, it should be the guerrillas from Huangshi Village who occupy the second checkpoint.
It's a pity that these cunning guerrillas took advantage of the rapid attack of the imperial army and quietly fled.
Yoshino received a report from Chida that the Chinese had been repulsed and that the Imperial Army had recaptured the second checkpoint, but he could no longer be happy.
He led more than 200 imperial warriors, with the cooperation of more than 300 imperial alliance troops, originally thought that he could easily sweep away the merchant fort, who would have thought that not only the imperial alliance army lost more than half, that is, the imperial soldiers, also lost one-third, more than seventy imperial elites, so they died on the obscure mountain of merchant fort.
Seeing that the rest of the troops were full of gunsmoke and were very tired, he began to hesitate whether to sweep the merchant fort again.
At present, the imperial army has withdrawn from Shangbao, and according to the information he received, Liu Tianshu's guerrillas should have arrived at Shangbao. The houses in the fort are dense, the alleys are intricate, and if you really enter the village to sweep, you don't know how many dangers are waiting for you.
In desperation, Yoshino had to ask the communications corps to report the situation to Captain Aoki.
Aoki learned that the raid on the merchant fort was not going well, and that the Imperial army had suffered considerable losses, and scolded Yoshino on the phone, and then ordered him to lead his troops back to Kiyoam Town.
Yoshino put down the phone, a pair of resentful eyes staring at Fort Merchant. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Order Okada, set fire to me, I will turn the merchant fort into ruins." ”
Okada was stunned when he received Yoshino's order to set fire, but out of his duty as a soldier, he still ordered his soldiers to prepare for arson.
Liu Tianshu took Geng Tianlong, Hao Mengxuan and Long Hai to fight with the Devil Emperor Allied Army near the stockade for a while, and saw Shi Qiang running with the rest of the soldiers of the guard squad.
After a while, Shang Wei ran over with countless people from the merchant fort with weapons. Seeing this, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered the people of these merchant forts to scatter around the stockade and launch a counterattack towards the stockade.
After Liu Tianshu commanded everyone to approach a hundred meters from the roof, he suddenly found that the strength of the devils on the wall began to increase, and at the same time, there were many things that the devils and the Imperial Association Army seemed to be preparing to set fire.
Liu Tianshu's face changed, and he shouted that it was not good, the devil wanted to set fire. Then he urgently ordered Shi Qiang to take a part of the people to attack the wall on the left, Hao Mengxuan led a part of the people to attack the wall on the right, and he took the rest of the people to attack the gate of the wall.
At the same time, let the people of the merchant fort who came later prepare to fight the fire.
Most of the buildings in the merchant fort are wooden structures, and once the devils set fire, the only way is to quickly cut off the spread of the fire. And what he wants to do is to force the devil to give up arson.
All of a sudden, the 38 big cover in his hand picked out those devils with torches and the Imperial Association Army to shoot, and the rest of the people with good marksmanship also followed him to desperately fire at the devils and the Imperial Association Army who were preparing to set fire.
At the gate of the wall, those holding lit torches and ready to throw them over, several people were knocked down by the bullets fired in a row, and they were ignited by the torches, and the rest of the imperial troops saw this and threw the torches in their hands into the village in a panic, except for two torches that fell on the roof of a house in the village and lit the fire, the rest of the torches did not achieve results.
