The rushing water flows under the feet, and because of the dam built upstream, and the dry season, the water gradually calms down after the initial violence, and the water surface is still about three meters from the top of the ditch.

Not far away, the Beijiang River seems to have been evacuated all at once, and in some areas, the reefs and beaches at the bottom of the river are scattered and presented.

"Good!" Su Sanniang screamed: "Looking at it this way, even if the Hunan army digs the dam, it will be nothing more than the river flooding ashore, and if you prepare in advance, it will be impossible to bring harm again." ”

"Hmm!" Chen Yucheng immediately looked at Wang Feng and said, "Commander-in-chief, I am willing to take some brothers of the Tenth Army to cooperate with Brother Xiucheng to exterminate the Hunan army in the canyon, and within three days, I will ensure that good news will come." ”

The Ninth Army and the Tenth Army were incorporated into the Democratic Alliance Army for a relatively short period of time, and the reorganization and rearmament were carried out in a hurry, in addition to being equipped with mini guns and grenades, there were few mortars and small mountain artillery, but this did not affect their combat effectiveness, the soldiers of these two armies were from Yang Xiuqing's old department, and some of the men and horses sent by Shi Dakai were all battle-hardened soldiers, and they had the urgency to make meritorious contributions to prove their desire to join the new army.

Wang Feng groaned slightly, and waved his hand: "I'll go in person to see who is here, Ding Daquan, you bring the special combat team members, climb to the top of the mountain with me from both sides, Chen Yucheng, you take a division, and deploy it outside the canyon on both sides of the Beijiang River to meet us, remember, occupy the high ground, don't get too close to the river bank, want to fight a tough battle, the opportunity is that the rest of the personnel will start tomorrow to build an encirclement of Guangzhou from the west and northwest." And secretly evacuate the people along the Beijiang River, and wait for me to return before launching a general attack. ”

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison. Prepare to each other.

Early the next morning, Wang Feng and Chen Yucheng set off separately. Because Hong Xuanjiao was not worried that Wang Feng only brought 400 special team members up the mountain, in addition to the designated personnel, there were also 600 elites selected from the Fourth Army, led by Su Sanniang and Zhou Xiuying respectively.

After a journey of more than 70 kilometers, by the end of the night that day, they had all reached the foot of the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and Wang Feng immediately sent someone to inform Li Xiucheng that he must take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the water level was high and the water flow was gentle to enter the canyon before noon the next day. Cooperate with him to storm from the top of the mountain.

On the third day, when it was just dawn, Wang Feng and Zhou Xiuying took a group of 500 people, and Su Sanniang and Ding Daquan also brought 500 people, slowly climbing towards the top of the canyon.

With the help of ropes and climbing equipment, it is not difficult to climb to the top of the cliff, but it is difficult to carry the equipment on your back, in addition to guns and bullets, each person also carries a mortar shell with a fuse removed, from the top of the mountain to the valley. There is a height of two or three hundred meters, and if you throw a grenade at this height, it will explode in mid-air, and the more powerful mine Wang Feng does not dare to bring. It was too sensitive, it would explode at the slightest bump in the process of climbing, and the fuse was far less convenient to load and unload than mortar shells.

It took three hours. All the talents went to the top of the mountain without danger, separated by a distance of two or three hundred meters. You can see the other side clearly, from top to bottom. In addition to the scattered black spots along the river, there is also a dam in the middle of the river, with five small outlets, behind the dam, the water surface is as smooth as a mirror, and the river in front of the dam is winding and narrow, and the drop reaches a height of seven or eight meters!

"Fortunately, Sister Sanniang came up with a way to channel, otherwise such a high drop would be enough to flood the whole city of Guangzhou." Wang Feng praised in a low voice and gave a thumbs up to Su Sanniang opposite.

Su Sanniang smiled proudly, and then pointed upstream.

I saw a bend in the upstream, suddenly there was a dense bamboo raft, relying on both sides of the river to row downstream, as long as there is a foothold, there are soldiers ashore, but on the shore can only stand still, at most put the mortar mount, because the water level has submerged a considerable part of the original river valley, and the flat land that is still exposed on the water is not too much, only when the water flows out, can the action be launched.

As more and more soldiers landed on the shore, the Hunan army finally discovered that the enemy was coming, and groups of men and horses rushed out of the cave amid shouting, and bursts of gunfire and sporadic explosions rang out.

"Do you want to blow the dam open now?" Zhou Xiuying turned her head and asked.

"No hurry!" Wang Feng shook his head: "The Ninth Army hasn't all gone ashore yet, wait any longer, otherwise it will be sucked away by the current." ”

Li Xiucheng below also realized that time was pressing, and stood on the raft, waving his arms and urging repeatedly.

"What's going on?" In the cave, hearing the sound of gunfire outside, Zeng Guoquan stood up and questioned loudly.

"Report to the deputy marshal!" A soldier ran in and cried, "The Democratic Alliance is coming, it's coming from upstream!" ”

"What? Where did he get so daring? Aren't you afraid that we will blow up the dam? Zeng Guoquan's face became extremely ugly, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Liewen.

Zhao Liewen's heart was covered with a shadow, and an omission jumped out, but he still didn't want to believe it, so he just locked his eyebrows and said, "Deputy Marshal, go out first to see the situation." ”

"Let's go!" Zeng Guoquan ran out impatiently.

The group quickly got out of the cave, and under the cover of the rocks, they looked out, and suddenly gasped!

The Democratic Alliance Army is not in a hurry to attack downstream, but uses guns and artillery to shoot at its own soldiers who have come out of the hole, covering the landing of the rear personnel, as far as the current situation is concerned, although the terrain is unfavorable, it obviously has the advantage in weapons, and the dense rain of bullets has hit the soldiers on their own side so that they cannot raise their heads, and some do not believe in evil, and they will be exploded when they are exposed, and sometimes there will be cannonballs with great curvature to hit the back of the rocks, and the lethality is extremely terrifying.

Further downstream, although the fighting was not long, the dam had already stopped more than a hundred corpses, and the water in that area was dyed dark red.

The situation is very unfavorable, but even so, Zeng Guoquan is not afraid, and said coldly: "The Democratic Alliance Army must want to occupy the dam with a surprise attack and then slowly dismantle it, but how can it be so easy, the terrain here can't be opened, even if he has powerful guns, what can he do?" Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil, a few of you shouted loudly, telling them to retreat, otherwise Ben Shuai will send someone to blow up the dam, it's a big deal, fight to die and break the net, see what he can do to me. ”

"Stop, stop, all get out, or we will blow up the dam immediately, we have already planted the explosives in advance, you don't have a fluke mentality, since we dare to come, we are not afraid of death, and if we shoot again, we will really blow up" The soldiers shouted in unison with their necks pulled, and the sound could be heard far away in the valley.

However, the NLD forces turned a deaf ear, and the personnel continued to come ashore one after another, and the landing site was getting closer and closer to the dam, and the empty rafts were carried down by the current, and the corpses were piled up behind the dam.

Zeng Guoquan muttered: "Even if the dam is blown up, but the raft is entangled, if it is blocked by the reef again, it may be able to slow down the speed of the water, Liewen, do you think this is possible?" ”

Zhao Liewen said uncertainly: "The possibility that the deputy marshal said should exist, but the premise is that the river must be full of reefs and bends, otherwise the raft floating on the water surface will not affect the water flow below, and it will not help. ”

"Wang Feng seems to be bold, but he is not a reckless person, he often plans and then acts, it is impossible for him not to send someone to survey the river before the attack, but why do you want to launch a strong attack? Doesn't he care about the lives and deaths of millions of people in Guangzhou? Or is it really that stupid way? But the time is wrong, it's only been a month, how can he dig the aqueduct? I'm afraid it takes more than a month to drain the water! ”

After answering, Zhao Liewen muttered to himself, he guessed that Wang Feng dared to attack, it may be that he dug the aqueduct, but he subconsciously, he couldn't believe it, on the one hand, the technical problems were difficult to overcome, and on the other hand, if the Democratic Alliance really dug the aqueduct, then it meant that he and Zeng Guoquan could only be a dead end.

In fact, there is no problem with Zhao Liewen's inference, if the digging is shallow and narrow, it will not play a big role in drainage, and the precipitation in South China is abundant, the water network is dense, and the groundwater is extremely rich, if you dig too deep, it is easy to dig out the underground dark river, then it is not a waste of previous efforts, but a catastrophic consequence.

Or in other words, even if you are lucky enough not to dig an underground river, the soil in South China has a large water content, and digging and digging will naturally form water reservoirs of different sizes, which will bring great trouble, which is why Zhao Liewen has always been unbelievable.

However, he ignored two points, the first was that he was not familiar with the terrain, and the narrowest part of the Xijiang River and the Beijiang River was only three or four miles apart, and he did not understand, nor could he have imagined, that the two rivers would actually cross next to each other, and secondly, the Democratic Alliance army had steam engines, and the armed merchant ships had spare ones, and they used steam engines to pump water, which was not too efficient than manual drainage.

Huainan Coal Mine uses steam engines to drain water, and the Meishan Iron Mine and Dangtu Iron Mine that are being explored will also use a large number of steam engines.

Science and technology, combined with a certain amount of luck, make the impossible possible!

Zeng Guoquan turned his head to look at Zhao Liewen, and said coldly: "The Democratic Alliance army is getting closer and closer, it seems that he doesn't take our warning to heart, well, as long as he dares to get closer to fifty zhang, we will blow up the dam, and it will be a big deal to die together!" ”

The situation has developed to this point, and Zhao Liewen can't think of it even if he is full of wisdom, so he can only resign himself to fate and nodded.

The Democratic Alliance troops still kept going ashore, which made Zeng Guoquan and Zhao Liewen's hearts sink more and more, and on the top of the mountain, Zhou Xiuying whispered: "All come up, do you want to blow up the dam?" ”

Li Xiucheng was the last to go ashore, and after going ashore, he waved his hand to the top of the cliff, and Wang Feng immediately ordered: "Bomb!" ”

On the cliff, the mortar can't be brought, but it doesn't matter, you can throw it by hand, several soldiers carried the mortar shell with the fuse on their shoulders, aimed at the dam below, and threw it hard, Su Sanniang saw that this side began to throw, and did not show weakness, and also a few fighters threw the shell out, as if they had a comparative mind, to see who threw it accurately!
