Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fire and Water Section 1 The night is dark and the wind is high
After descending the mountain, the road is divided into two, one is to walk along the valley to the north for a while, then climb up the mountain beam, turn southeast, cross the east mountain beam, and then go down to the hilly area.
Take the road of Dongshan Liang is a short road, Dongshan Liang is not too high, more than 100 meters high, young adults whether it is day or night, there is no problem to take this road, from the village gate to the hilly side, but half an hour, but the old and weak women and children walk, the mountain road is a little rugged.
Therefore, the villagers of Zhao's camp, who rushed through the gate and went down the mountain, chose another road, and walked more than ten miles around the detour point, but most of them were flat roads and easy to walk.
After going out of the South Pass, walk along the side of the mountain for more than ten miles, and the mountain beam that stretches down from Guojiabaozi gradually becomes a dirt bun, and the road turns to the southeast, and it leads to Houshiyu Village smoothly and straightly.
When it was not completely dark, these hundreds of villagers hurried over the Nanyakou with the old and the young, and the old five sons also caught up after the Nanyakou.
There was no much nonsense, Lao Wuzi sent a squad of soldiers to run to the front, and under the vigilance of the villagers, Lao Wuzi and the remaining two squads lined up in a long line, sticking to the Dongshan Lianggen, protecting the flanks of the villagers.
Judging from the distribution of this force, Lao Wuzi really lacks combat experience, although the work of reconnaissance and anti-special forces and so on is very good, but it can be seen that this is not the case in the deployment of troops!
With a total of one platoon of troops, there is no need to put a squad for road reconnaissance, one two or three is enough, and the rest cannot be lined up in such a line, if they encounter an ambush. The enemy attacked precisely from the flanks. The first round of fire hit hard. There are not many people left in your dragon!
The villagers followed slowly with the black face, and walked for another hour, which was almost to the place where the avenue turned, and the mountain beam in the east had become a low mound, and the old fifth son discussed with the patriarch of the Zhao family camp and the village cadres. I didn't come out of dinner, so let the big guy take a break to eat some dry food and drink some water.
Guojiabaozi to Houshiyu Village is about fifty miles, the patriarch of the Zhao family is thinking of walking for most of the night, before dawn to Houshiyu, rest for half a day, catch up with a section of the road in the afternoon, and arrive home in the second half of the night.
During the break, the old five sons suggested that a soldier be sent to Houshiyu to see the situation first, and whether the devils had withdrawn under reconnaissance, although the devil stronghold was beaten last time. It's hard to guarantee that the devils still have to be repaired, if the devils in Houshiyu haven't withdrawn. You have to find a hidden place to hide before dawn, and then wait until it gets dark to get around the village.
After a while, greeting and greeting, people got up one after another, and the brigade began to rush forward again, the sky was dark, and just now there was a little half-pulled crescent moon and starlight to light up, and there was a gust of wind on the northwest mountain, and layers of dark clouds rolled over, and it was dark and dark in all directions, and the road was even more difficult to walk.
He didn't go far, but he came to the bend of the road, and the old man's shoe shell was filled with stones.
As soon as I put my shoes on, a terrible gunshot rang out, and the explosion was not far away! The soldier in front of the fifth son, who was not wearing a military hat and was wrapped in a white towel, fell to the ground!
Instant gunfire! A string of bullets with orange-red light slashed out tongues of fire from the field to the east, weaving a large net and enveloping the crowd inside!
"Lie down! Don't run around! "The fifth son didn't care about the bullets like flying locusts, and shouted at the panicked fellows with his arms raised!
But his voice was soon drowned out by the explosion of the projectiles of the incoming grenadiers! The fifth son could only press the people around him to the ground with a pull, and beckoned the soldiers closest to him to find cover on the spot and prepare to counterattack!
I was looking in the direction of the bullets coming from the east, and suddenly I was dizzy in front of me! It's like being hit by the midday sun! Several clusters of white thorns bloomed in the sky! Not good! The old five sons said in their hearts, the flares of the devils!
On the bright avenue as day, some of the villagers fell motionless in a pool of blood, some were still struggling in pain, trying to crawl into the grass on the side of the road, some were lying on the ground with children hiding under them, and some had already run out dozens of meters into the field to the west, and it was all chaos!
From the density of the incoming firepower and the sound of gunfire, you can judge that the devil people are indispensable by touching it! What's more, we are in the open, people are in the dark, and if you want to fight back, you can't aim at people!
The soldiers in front and the soldiers at the back couldn't see anyone there, so the fifth son had to gather the four or five people around him, said a few words, and tried his best to greet the fellow villagers and withdraw in the direction of Guojiabaozi!
Taking advantage of the time when the flares were extinguished, the soldiers pulled up the villagers who could be rowed and told them to run back! When the second wave of flares rose into the sky, the old five sons had already roughly judged where the distance of the devil's ambush position was.
Just east of this bend in the main road, there are a few earthen hills, which are about more than 100 meters away and less than 200 meters, and the bullets are coming from there!
At this moment, Xiang helped to get seventy or eighty people to a safer place in the north, and the old five sons and the three soldiers turned back, wanting to find the people who had been scattered into the wilderness, the idea was very beautiful, but the reality was very cruel! Shadow and shadow have come down from the mound!
Through the afterglow of the flare, I can see that the military uniform is a little devil at a glance, and the tip of the bayonet is still shining, I can't go to the field to find the fellows, I can only go up for a while, it doesn't matter how long I can hold it, and the villagers can run out a few meters away if you delay the devil for a second!
When he was attacked, the position of the old fifth son was in the middle of the whole team, and as soon as the gunshots rang out, the first half of the team dispersed at once, and almost all those who ran back were swept down by bullets, and only a few and a half who ran west into the field were not hit by bullets.
The people who were caught in the middle of the gunfire together, basically not hit by the bullets all lying on the ground, just now by the old five sons they dragged along the brigade to the north, only the second half of the team suffered the least losses, most of them were old people, women and children, by the soldiers and militia to help the way.
The squad that opened the road in front of the head survived, and he was picked by a bullet in his leg, and he lost a lot of blood, and he limped back to the old five sons, and a platoon of people lost half of them as soon as they came up, so they lay on the avenue, ready to wait for the devil to enter a few dozen meters to block it.
The devils did not rush over in one breath recklessly, lined up in a skirmish line, and approached the avenue with alternate cover, although they caught the people on the avenue by surprise, and did not see the fireworks of the guns that counterattacked, and the devils did not dare to rush over like this.
Look at the devil methodically doing tactical maneuvers,; Lao Wuzi whispered to the soldiers: "Comrades, even if you beat the remaining one, you must also drag the devil, even if it is delayed for a minute, the fellows will be able to run far!" ”
"Hit!" The shell gun in his hand was on fire! One shuttle swept down three devils! From the mound is a clearing overgrown with weeds, thinking that there is a small slope on the road, the fifth son waited until the devil was about to reach the slope, and his nose and eyes could see clearly, and then he hugged the fire!
Just these few guns and seven or eight grenades hit them, and they also messed up the little devil for a while! The devils in the entire field all lay on the grass and shot back!
The dozen or so devils who were facing the old five sons were dead and wounded, and there were a few flashes left, and they fell on the spot and fired back on the avenue.
After only three rounds of gunning, the devil's grenadier and machine gun fire were aimed at the old five sons and them, and seven or eight projectiles flew over at once, and the dirt and rocks flew on the avenue and the road, and the smoke was filled, and the machine gun fire with tracer bullets swept the clods of dirt on this section of the avenue!
In less than ten minutes, of the ten eight-way soldiers counted by the old five sons, only five of them were still panting!
The devils in the field have already copied from the south bread, and the cans are not far away, and the bullets are getting more and more accurate! The wild grass on the edge of the ditch has been interrupted by brushing and brushing!
A man who still had a breath struggled to crawl over, and pushed a three- or four-year-old girl in his arms to the side of the fifth son, and wanted to say something with his mouth open and closed, but his throat was blocked by blood, and he could only hear the sound of "whining", which meant that the old five children understood and took the child out!
