"How so?" Liu Tianshu listened to Li Shu's words, and couldn't help but change his face in shock.

You must know that the merchant fort seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but as long as the devil breaks through the three levels, the merchant fort is a dead place, and the secret passage behind the mountain is not enough for the people in the fort to leave quickly. As for the mountain forest behind the fort, although the area is not small, if the devil makes up his mind to search the mountain, he will not be able to hide people.

Thinking of the merchant fort, Liu Tianshu dripped blood in his heart, thought in his mind for a while and said: "Li Shu, quickly assemble the team, let's go to the merchant fort." ”

"Aren't we going to Houshan Village?" When Li Shu heard Liu Tianshu's words, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked.

The villagers of Huangshi Village and Shipan Village have all been evacuated to Houshan Village, and according to common sense, the guerrillas should protect the villagers there.

"Platoon Commander Li, Regiment Commander Du, they are stationed in Houshan Village, if the enemy attacks Houshan Village, I believe they will take action to protect it. The folks in Shangbao are also Chinese, and we must help them. I have decided this matter, and I am responsible for all the consequences. Liu Tianshu's eyes froze, and he said in a firm tone.

Seeing this, Li Shu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and notify the first and third rows." ”

As for the second row, it was not far in front now, Liu Tianshu asked Shi Qiang to take the guard squad to immediately set off towards Fort Merchant, and he came to the second row.

"Platoon Commander Zhang, you immediately arrange for someone to send the wounded to Houshan Village, and the rest of the people will go to Shangbao with me."

Seeing Zhang Gouyu, Liu Tianshu didn't say a word, and ordered directly.

After a while, Zhang Gouyu took the seventeen people who could fight in the second platoon, followed Liu Tianshu, and quickly ran in the direction of Shangbao.

At this time, the battle of Shangbao had reached its most intense time.

Shang Wu arranged the first checkpoint outside the fort. Under the continuous bombardment of the Devil's 92nd Infantry Artillery, it lasted less than half an hour and was directly broken, and more than 20 forts died at the first checkpoint.

The merchants who guarded the second level and the brothers who got the first level were all killed, and the tears on their faces couldn't stop flowing.

In the morning, he ran all the way to the merchant fort and immediately conveyed Liu Tianshu's words to the old man Shang. Old Man Shang knew that the devil's heavy army would attack again, so he immediately notified the clansmen in the fort to come and discuss.

Many of them were reluctant to leave the merchant fort, saying that they wanted to live and die with the merchant fort, and the result of the discussion was to send the women and children in the fort away from the back mountain, and at the same time, there were seventy or eighty young men of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The forts in the fort were all concentrated and commanded by merchants and merchants.

According to the final decision, it was decided to defend the merchant fort at all costs.

The movement to send the people off was slowed by the reluctance of some to leave. By the time the devils arrived at the fort and the battle began at the first checkpoint, half of the people were sent away, and some of the women were worried about their families, but they did not want to leave.

The merchant and the commander of the sixty burghers had been fighting fiercely for two hours on the stone wall of the second level, although the devil had artillery and heavy machine guns. Unfortunately, after the second level was reinforced, the walls became extremely strong.

Although the devils concentrated artillery fire on the opposite side, they bombarded the wall. Unfortunately, the effect was not very good, and the Imperial Association Army, which took the lead, launched two rounds of attacks towards the second level under the coercion of the devils, except for leaving thirty corpses, but failed to break through the walled gate.

However, the artillery fire of the devils. But the forts guarding the walled wall suffered heavy losses, and countless forts were directly blown into the air by cannonballs, at this time, the merchants and the forts around them who could fight were less than twenty people.

Yoshino looking at it with a telescope in the back. Seeing that the second level of Fort Merchant's land had become crumbling under his constant bombardment, he was overjoyed.

"Order Okada's squad to prepare for the attack." Yoshino had a grim look on his face.

Cheng Precious Imperial Alliance Army was very tired after the fierce battle between the first and second levels, and at this time, the second level was about to be conquered, and Yoshino felt that it was time for the Imperial Warriors to appear on stage.

Okada received the order to immediately prepare his troops for an attack in the rear, and of course, the grenadiers and machine gunners to which his squad belonged were also preparing at this time.

Standing at the checkpoint, he saw a small group of Japanese troops beginning to assemble from a distance, and immediately knew that the moment had come to decide the survival of Shangbao.

The merchant fort is arranged in front of the second level, which can be said to be the main force in the fort, and as for the burgers on the third level, half of them are recruited.

"Brothers, behind it is the merchant fort, where our merchants have lived for more than ten generations and hundreds of years, the little devil wants to enter the fort, you say, can we agree?" The merchant's eyes were red, and he turned to shout at the burgadin who was following him.

"No, whoever wants to break into the merchant fort will have to ask us if we have the guns in our hands to say yes. Second Brother Shang, who didn't say anything, swore to defend the merchant fort to the death. The burghers around him were furious, and shouted angrily as they looked at the enemy in the distance.

After the attacking Imperial Alliance army was repulsed again, it was ordered to withdraw to the side to rest, and at the same time, a squad of devils slaughtered towards the second checkpoint.

When Shi Qiang rushed to Fort Merchant's with the guard squad, he saw that the enemy had already passed the first checkpoint, and in addition to the remains of the burgers who died in battle, there were only some broken guns and blood stains all over the ground at the first checkpoint.

After discovering that the devil did not leave troops to guard the first checkpoint, Shi Qiang took the guard squad and quietly touched the first checkpoint that was blown up and ran towards the front.

At the second checkpoint ahead, the sound of gunfire was constantly heard, and at the same time, the angry shouts of people could be faintly heard.

After running forward along the mountain road for a mile, I saw countless devils gathered in a flat dam in front of me, and these devils put a guard post down the mountain.

Seeing that he couldn't quietly approach the second level, although he was very anxious, Shi Qiang still asked the soldiers of the guard squad to hide in a small forest.

Shang Jiancai, Shang Wei and Shang Ping saw the gunshots in front of them, they were already anxious, looking at Shi Qiang and asking for reinforcements, Shi Qiang glanced at the three of them painfully, and said in a low voice: "Jia viagra, Jiancai, Shang Ping, I can understand your feelings, but I can't let you pass, there are too many devils, and the devils are in front of us, we can't go over at all." ”

When Shang Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Shi Qiang and said, "Squad leader, I know that there is a path that can be quietly bypassed, and there are no more than ten people who know about this path." ”

"What? Have a trail to get around? Shi Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Jiawei, tell me quickly, what the specific situation is." ”

After listening to Shang Wei's words, Shi Qiang realized that the so-called path was actually not a road, but meant that it could be climbed from the cliff on the right side, and then go around to the back of Shang Fort.

"Alright, let's get around." Just as Shi Qiang was about to make a decision, Liu Tianshu arrived with the second platoon.

"Captain, I'm afraid the merchant fort can't stand it, what should we do?" Seeing Liu Tianshu, Shi Qiang seemed to have a backbone.

"Is the situation clear? How many devils are there? Liu Tianshu looked at Shi Qiang and asked anxiously.

"There are devils guarding in front, and we can't go over, but judging from the gunfire in front, there should be a lot of devils." Shi Qiang glanced ahead, "By the way, captain, Jia viagra said that we can climb up from the cliff on the right." ”

"Really, that's really good, in this way, Platoon Commander Zhang, you stay here to monitor the devils, and when Platoon Commander Li arrives, immediately block the first checkpoint, and I will take the guard squad up. If you see black smoke coming out of the merchant fort, attack me upwards. Fight on both sides, but if the devil is pressing you with all your might, you must retreat immediately. Liu Tianshu thought about it and decided to personally take the guard squad around the merchant fort.

He didn't know the situation in Shangbao, he didn't dare to bring all the troops into Shangbao, and besides, if he wanted to force the devils to retreat, he had to play a good show of attacking from both sides.

"Okay, captain, don't worry, we will be ready to respond." Zhang Gouyu nodded, and led the second platoon to choose favorable terrain to prepare for the blockade.

Liu Tianshu took the guard squad and led the way by Shang Wei, and soon arrived at a cliff on the right side of the mountainside, Shang Wei pointed to a stone crack in the middle of the cliff and said to Liu Tianshu: "Captain, you can climb up from that stone crack." ”

"Lead the way, everyone checks the equipment and prepares for action." Liu Tianshu said in a low voice.

The soldiers of the guard squad immediately checked the equipment they were carrying according to the requirements, some weapons and daggers that had not been put away, and all of them were re-tied, and then followed Shang Wei and climbed into the stone crevices one after another.

This crack is located on top of a three-meter-high stone wall, and although vines hang down from it, it is not easy to determine whether it can withstand the weight of the warriors.

Under Shi Qiang's command, the two warriors quickly half-squatted, Shang Wei and Geng Tianlong immediately stepped on the shoulders of the two warriors, and as the two warriors stood up straight, Shang Wei and Geng Tianlong's rising hands climbed the upper end of the stone wall and quickly climbed up.

The two sturdy vines were lowered, and the rest of the warriors, with the help of Geng Tianlong and Shang Wei, quickly climbed the stone wall, and then followed Shang Wei into the stone crevice.

Walking into the stone crack, Liu Tianshu found that the stone crack does not look wide outside, in fact, after people walk in, they know that the space inside is not small, with the stone crack all the way up, after a while to climb up to 50 meters, at the top of the place, and through the way to take a ladder to go up, it will be to the right side of the forest of the merchant fort.

Seeing the guard squad quietly climb up to the merchant fort, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, at this time, the gunfire in the direction of Shangbao seemed to have moved towards the gate of the wall, which made Liu Tianshu's heart hang.

When the guard squad rushed from the woods to the outside of the merchant fort, Liu Tianshu found that the devils were attacking the gate of the wall, and there were countless figures on the wall of the wall throwing stones and the like towards the outside of the wall, and in the crisp gunshots, the sound of fire guns rang out from time to time.

It seems that the people of the merchant fort have gone up to the wall to make a final resistance. (To be continued.) )
