597 Wildfires swept through the Japanese army

Zhang Jiancheng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can this Wild Wolf Valley really be burned into a mountain fire?" ”

The staff officer replied: "It should be possible, I have asked many villagers, and they all say so, and they have also seen a mountain fire burning in Wolf Valley." ”

Zhang Jiancheng nodded, "If that's the case, I'll report to Your Majesty immediately and ask Your Majesty to send a super artillery regiment to assist us in the battle." ”

Zhang Jiancheng immediately reported everything to Lin Fei, and when he said that when he burned the Japanese army with a mountain fire, his spirit was bright, but Lin Fei frowned, "Although your idea is good, there are two difficulties in this idea, which must be solved, if these two difficulties are not solved, the whole plan is just on paper." ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't think of any difficulties."

"First, at present, the super artillery regiment is stationed in Nanning, from Nanning to Guilin, there are hundreds of kilometers of Qing court official roads in between, can these official roads withstand the weight of HP-3 artillery?"

"Second, it takes more than ten days to travel from Nanning to Guilin, and in these ten days, will the Japanese honestly stay in the Wild Wolf Valley and wait for you to fight?"

"Well...... this" Although Zhang Jiancheng is smart and clever, compared with Lin Fei, he is still a little behind, and he didn't think of these two questions.

Lin Fei saw that Zhang Jiancheng didn't speak, so he said: "Regarding the problem of the road, I will let the super artillery regiment solve it, about the problem of the Japanese, you can come up with some ways to let the Japanese stay honestly in the Wild Wolf Valley, don't the Japanese want to ambush, then you will let out the rumors that the Huaxia army is mobilizing reinforcements on a large scale, so that the Japanese feel that they can ambush many people at once." ”

Lin Fei's words inspired Zhang Jiancheng, and Zhang Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I understand, I'll arrange these things." ”

Zhang Jiancheng came up with a clever plan, and then asked people to arrange it, and then asked people to bring the mountain monkeys, since everyone knew that the mountain monkeys were Japanese lackeys, they didn't have a good face for him, they spoke coldly, punched and kicked, and the mountain monkeys were miserable.

After the mountain monkey saw Zhang Jiancheng, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and mourned: "Master Jun, spare the villain, the villain will never dare to be a dog for the Japanese again." ”

Zhang Jiancheng laughed, "You made a dog for the Japanese, you did a good job, I still want you to make a dog for the Japanese." ”

The mountain monkey thought that Zhang Jiancheng was sarcastic about himself, so he knelt on the ground in fright, his whole body trembled, and he repeatedly asked for mercy, Zhang Jiancheng sneered, "Mountain monkey, I want you to send a letter to the Japanese, just say that our Chinese army is mobilizing strong troops and preparing to attack the Wild Wolf Valley, and we also want to emphasize that we have to transfer the entire Guangxi army, do you understand." ”

The mountain monkey is a very smart character, and he immediately understood what Zhang Jiancheng meant, and hurriedly flattered: "I understand, the villain understands, all understand." "But I was secretly thinking in my heart, as soon as I saw the Japanese, I would tell the whole thing and let the Japanese arrest you all, and then Lao Tzu would be able to rely on the Japanese to take revenge.

Zhang Jiancheng smiled faintly, said "very good", and then snapped his fingers at his subordinates, two subordinates walked out and walked in with a woman, the woman was enchanting, crying, and holding a child, the mountain monkey was stunned when he saw the woman and the child, it turned out that the woman was the concubine of the outer house raised by the mountain monkey, and the child was his illegitimate son, and they were all the flesh of the mountain monkey's heart.

Zhang Jiancheng smiled, "Mountain monkey, your woman is good-looking, if it is listed for sale, it will definitely be sold for a lot of money." ”

Of course, the mountain monkey heard the threat in Zhang Jiancheng's words, and hurriedly wailed: "Master Jun, my wife and children are in your hands, I must not dare to play tricks." ”

Zhang Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction, and asked the mountain monkey to roll over to deliver a letter to Nogi Xidian, the mountain monkey didn't dare to play tricks, and told Nogi Xidian what Zhang Jiancheng asked him to say, and Nogi Xidian immediately ordered the troops to camp in the Wild Wolf Valley and wait for the attack of the Chinese army.

In fact, there is another important reason why Nogi Noshinori gave such an order, that is, their explorers found a fluorite mine nearby.

Fluorite is fluorine-containing ore, is an important chemical raw material, most of the use of hydrofluoric acid for the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid, the production of hydrofluoric acid is used to refine aluminum, at this time Japan, attaches great importance to the development of new materials, aluminum - this light weight, good mechanical properties of the material has entered their field of vision.

Nogi Noshinori thought about taking advantage of the time when the Chinese army was not attacking to explore this fluorite mine more clearly, and then mine it in the future.

Tempted by two benefits, Nogi Noshinori ordered his troops to wait in the Wild Wolf Valley and ambush the Huaxia army.

Ten days passed, and the Super Artillery Regiment finally secretly rushed to the outside of the Wild Wolf Valley, and the official road of the Qing court was of good quality and withstood the weight of the HP-3 artillery. This time, they brought all the cloud burst bombs.

During this time, Lin Fei established the Guangxi Group Army, recruiting troops from the local area and mobilizing troops from the Chinese Empire at the same time, preparing to take full control of Guangxi from the military level.

These things Lin Fei did were all secret, and neither Japan nor the Qing court knew about it, and Japan and the Qing court were bent on winning the local battlefield, but they ignored the entire battlefield.

The super artillery regiment was still led by Luo Wei, and Luo Wei ordered the artillery regiment to set up an artillery position outside the Wild Wolf Valley and wait until dawn to open fire.

The reason why they had to wait until dawn to fire the artillery was because the Japanese troops were sleeping during the day, yes, the Japanese troops in Wild Wolf Valley slept during the day, and they were worried that the Chinese army would launch a sneak attack at night, so they chose to sleep during the day.

When the day was bright, the Japanese army left a few sentries and fell asleep, and the mountain monkey immediately ordered: "Use incendiary bombs, attack!" ”

The sound of the cannon shook the earth and woke up the sleeping Japanese soldiers, who opened their eyes and sat up one after another, looking in the direction from which the cannon fire had come from, when suddenly, a violent explosion sounded in the valley.

A dazzling fireball rose into the air, but it was still far away from the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers stood up one after another, "Oh my God, what is that?" "It seems to be a cloud burst bomb of the Chinese army."

The soldiers were discussing, and the officer came over angrily, "Don't look at it, don't talk about it, hurry up and sleep, sleep, now that the Chinese army has opened fire, they will definitely come to attack tonight." ”

The soldiers sat down quietly, the Japanese army was so hierarchical that the soldiers did not dare to disobey the officers at all.

The soldiers lay down one after another, but the continuous explosions rang out, and the dazzling fireballs tumbled into the sky, and some soldiers suddenly realized that the direction in which these fireballs rose seemed to be the upwind direction, that is, once these fireballs ignited the woods, the fire would spread to the entire forest.

Some soldiers hurriedly reported to the officer, but the officer did not care, "The woods in the southwest of China are very humid, and there is no possibility of a forest fire, go back to sleep." ”

The soldiers could only go back to sleep honestly, but at this moment, the crimson flames and thick black smoke rose from the mountains and forests in the distance, and the speed of the flames was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the Japanese soldiers.

Once the mountain fire broke up, the wind blew away the sparks and ignited the grass and trees, the heat was transferred to a distance, and the grass and trees were roasted, and the mountain fire could be spread dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, and the Japanese soldiers instantly felt the power of the flames.

The clothes of several Japanese soldiers were instantly roasted, and their whole bodies were on fire, turning into burning people, and the fire people screamed heartbreakingly, rolling on the ground, and the fire on their bodies was extinguished, but more flames surrounded them, and the Japanese soldiers suddenly became a puddle of scorched meat......

Soon the Japanese army was engulfed in flames, and Nogi Noshinori hurriedly gave the order: "The whole army withdraws from the valley." ”

At this time, the flames were already very large, and the Japanese heralds could not convey the order to every station, and the Japanese troops who did not receive the order to retreat did not retreat, and they showed the spirit of bushido, which was not afraid of death, and did not hide in the face of the fire, allowing the fire to burn them to charred flesh.

The retreating Japanese troops did not have a good time, the mountain fire rolled up thick smoke, many Japanese soldiers lost their way in the smoke and crashed into a larger fire, and many Japanese soldiers were surrounded by thick smoke and suffocated to death......

The Japanese army withdrew from the Wild Wolf Valley in disarray, and everyone was in a miserable state, their faces were scorched, their bodies were full of holes, and some of them had their hair and eyebrows burned......

Nogi Noshinori ordered rest and ordered his subordinates to count the casualties, and as a result, more than 1,000 people remained, and a full 9,000 people were burned by a mountain fire.

When Nogi Noshinori heard this result, his eyes were so distressed that his eyes turned black, and he fainted directly, and his subordinates hurriedly came to the rescue, which rescued Nogi Noshinori.

Nogi Noshinori had just woken up when another subordinate came over and reported another bad news: "Our exploration team and mapping team are all gone. ”

The exploration team and the mapping team were the hearts and minds of Nogi Noshinori, who heard that they did not run out and passed out again...... Everyone had to rescue again.

Nogi Noshinori woke up and gritted his teeth and thought to himself, I must repay this great shame.

But now there is no revenge, and Nogi Noshinori can only order the retreat.

Nogi Noshinori retreated to Guangdong with the remnants of the defeated army, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, and the mountain fire gradually extinguished, what Nogi Noshinori didn't know was that his exploration team and mapping team actually fell into the hands of the Chinese army.

It turned out that when the mountain fire broke out, the exploration team and the surveying and mapping team began to flee, and the smoke was billowing in the mountains and forests.

Zhang Jiancheng ordered his subordinates to set up an ambush outside the Wild Wolf Valley before the war, and once the Japanese soldiers came out of it, they shot them to death, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the Japanese soldiers coming out, and they were impatient to wait, so they saw a team of people running out.
