Chapter Twenty-Nine: Get on the Bayonet! Section 1 Blood Debt!
The town was busy for a while, and it would finally be quiet. The sun peeked out of the clouds in the east, the sky was gray, there was not a trace of wind, and the stuffy people panicked.
Lao Feng poked his head out and looked at it for a long time, wondering in his heart, this is already the time for the devil to break through, why doesn't he have any intention of leaving? Isn't the information delivered by the interpreter accurate?
Hong Mei is also a little anxious, if the information is not accurate, now the main force of the prefecture has been taken away by Yang Bangzi, I don't know where the cat is, if the devils below suddenly change Jihua and attack the surrounding mountains, the remaining militia and fellow villagers will not be able to stop the devils no matter what.
If you really can't stop the devil, all the efforts you made some time ago will be in vain, and even Kawaguchi Town is not safe, and if you want to catch a big fish, the net will be broken, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Political Commissar Hong's forehead was a little sweaty, and he wanted to discuss with Lao Feng and them to see if it was necessary to send a liaison officer to ask the military region to let the main forces nearby support at a critical moment.
A few people were muttering and discussing things, and the old man put his finger on his lips and "shh
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened for a while, and they all faintly heard the "buzzing" sound coming from the clouds in the east! This went down, and the doubts in everyone's hearts were eliminated at once, this must be the devil's plane has arrived! There is a plane to open the way, it seems that the devil will definitely go!
The 29th Brigade of the Imperial Army Aviation was almost dispatched this time, with 16 attack planes escorting 6 heavy bombers, which was already all the money that the entire Dingxian base could send.
The Ki-27 Nakajima Type 97 fighters did not dive down in all their might, but divided into four groups of four each. One group accompanied the bombers at high altitudes, two groups flew in a cross shape at medium and high altitudes, and only one group circled low altitudes along the mountains around the post.
Seeing the appearance of the Air Force, the devils in the town began to make big moves. Groups of devils and puppet troops began to gather from all over the town, and the defenders in the surrounding fortifications were also evacuating from the pillboxes and other places one after another, moving towards the stronghold at the north end of the town.
It seems that the devils have not been preparing for the retreat for a day or two, and the rapid assembly has taken about 20 minutes from the beginning to Zuihou, and the open space in front of the stronghold is lined up with crowds and convoys.
At 7:50, Lao Feng looked at his watch, looked up at the group of planes circling in the sky, and looked down at the devils under the mountain.
It was the fighters hovering at low altitudes who began to strafe the hills and slopes on both sides of the town, using machine guns on their fuselages. With the lesson of the last time, this time the devils did not fly close to the top of the mountain, but took a regional attack more than 100 meters above the ground, and the four planes swooped down in turn, and after shooting at a hill, they pulled up the fuselage and entered the next attack position.
Lao Feng thought that the devils under the mountain were going out of town, but the strange thing was that the devil's plane was screaming and strafing back and forth, and the devils on the ground were still standing there in a queue, motionless. Old Feng is very strange, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd of the devil?
The four planes alternately swept over the hills on both sides, raised their wings, and flew into the air, and the other group of fighters that had just been flying through the field at medium and high altitudes took over the group that had withdrawn to the high altitude and began to shuttle back and forth.
At this time, the six pot-bellied bombers that could be seen slowly formed a formation of three or three, flying towards the north of the town. He didn't fly far in his sight, and Lao Feng found that the bomber's big belly seemed to have an opening, and a string of small black dots fell rapidly from the belly of the plane like sheep dung eggs.
The road that runs along the north end of the town also runs through the valley, and on both sides there are rolling hills, which are now shrouded in smoke and fire, and the constant bursts of light and the sound of thunderous explosions are particularly dazzling and shocking in the silence of the early morning.
This is to clear the obstacles of the devils in the town from the advancing side, and the intensive bombardment can not only destroy the possible ambushes in the hills and valleys on both sides of the road, but also psychologically deter the eight roads, so that the retreating devils can reduce the possible siege.
Looking at the sky-high smoke and fire in the north, Lao Feng's heart sank, there are also many local armed forces over there who serve as interceptors, as well as fellow villagers of all ages, I don't know if it is hidden? If you don't know how to hide, there won't be a few living people left on the ground with a bombing of this scale!
The flames and explosions farther and farther away from the northwest, and the four fighters hovering at low altitude lowered the nose and swept through the town from south to north, and the shadow cast by the fuselage left the stronghold at the north end of the town, and the machine guns on the wings spewed out tongues of fire, and a string of bullets hit the road, and the dust was scattered.
At 12 o'clock, 7 caliber bullets poured down, and many mines planted on the road and on the roadbed, because of the shallow depth of burial, were hit by the bullets fired by the aircraft, and they were either torn apart or detonated.
The militiamen and villagers hiding in the mountains are all anxious, with the raging devil planes on their heads, and the devil infantry on the ground are about to move, what can they do? Just watching the devil escape?
Lao Feng and Hong Mei are even more anxious! I knew that the devil was going to break through, but I didn't expect that the devil was very cunning, the bombers paved the way, the fighters hit mines and escorted, at this time, if you send a signal for the fellows to attack, then you will have to suffer a big loss!
After thinking about it again, Hong Mei gave an order to put down the message tree and send a signal that the target was not allowed to be exposed, and all the people could not act rashly!
The news tree fell, and there was no movement on the hill and in the valley, except for the roar of the engine of the devil's plane.
The fighter plane, which strafed the road at a low altitude, pulled up its fuselage and made two more rounds on the surrounding hills before jumping into the air.
At this time, the devils in the town finally moved their feet and pulled out!
The old rules! The puppet army opened the way, the devil was in the middle, and the wounded soldiers were heavy, Lao Feng Xin said such a thing, so he arranged for someone to quietly detour from the valley, and wait for the devil plane in the sky to leave, and then see the opportunity to knock down the devil!
But I stretched out my head and looked, something was wrong! Today, the devil has changed the rules! The devil is ahead! The cart is in the middle, and the puppet army is following Zuihou!
Lao Feng is quite rare, he has been dealing with devils for more than 4 years, and he saw the devils charging in front for the first time, and the puppet army was following behind!
He pointed it out to Hong Mei, and Political Commissar Hong was also quite puzzled, and said with a smile, the devil is afraid of death, there is a plane to open the way, and he wants to run first, knowing that the Eighth Road is going to send them off, so let the puppet army stay behind. Lao Feng thought that this explanation was right, and he saw that a group of puppet soldiers who were on guard also left the stronghold, ready to organize people to go down the mountain.
"Wait! Lao Feng! Look in the sky! Lao Feng, who was just about to stand up, was dragged down by the fifth son.
Lao Wuzi pointed to the sky, Lao Feng glanced at it, obediently, why did the few big-bellied ninety-seven planes that flew to the north to bomb just now come back? The fighter jets did not go ahead to clear the way for the devils on the ground as usual, and they were still hovering over the town.
The retreating devil team lined up for several miles, and the speed of the devil who took the lead was quite fast, although it was blown up by a few residual mines, it did not affect the speed of the brigade at all, and the injured and unconscious devils were directly thrown onto the cart behind.
Seeing that the tail of the devil team also disappeared at the bend of the mountain to the north, Lao Feng looked at the plane in the sky that had not yet left and was hesitating whether to order a roundabout pursuit, there was a situation on the mountain in the east!
Guarding the hilltop position closest to the town to the east were the militia and villagers of Hexi Village on the other side of Kawaguchi Town. This village and Huangshikou Village have the most intermarriages, and there are many relatives, and Huangshikou Village let the devils slaughter more than 100 ordinary people, most of whom are related to this village by blood.
So the enthusiasm of the devils in this Hexi Village is the highest, and when the devils go far, they forget about discipline, and they haven't given an order yet, a few stunned young people are anxious, jump out of the bunker, and rush down the hillside with a gun and a big knife! In this way, more than 100 people from the entire Hexi Village rushed down!
Lao Feng didn't see it well, and the fellows on the position next to him were also ready to move, so they immediately jumped up and asked all the cadres to hurry up and greet the fellows to cover up, don't go down! He himself rushed down the hill and ran across the river beach to stop the people of Hexi Village.
Just when Lao Feng rushed across the river beach and was still a few hundred meters away from the town, the devil plane in the sky came down! The bombers dropped all the remaining bombs just now, and dozens of aerial bombs exploded almost simultaneously inside and outside the town!
The huge wave of air lifted Lao Feng Du on the avenue outside the town, and he rolled under the riverbank, looking painfully at the town that had become a sea of fire!
This is not over, the fellows who were not caught by the shock wave of the bomb began to run towards the mountain, and the devil's fighter jets came down again, strafing! Bombing! The hillside was filled with smoke and rockfalls! After tossing and turning two or three times, he arrogantly flapped his wings and flew north, and the bomber also turned its nose and flew away to the southeast.
The entire town of Zoumayi, with hundreds of houses, has been turned into a huge fire field! The militia and villagers on the mountain rushed down to fight the fire, and the wounded rescued the wounded, Lao Feng was lucky, far away, and did not hang any color. The militia and villagers of Hexi Village, who acted without authorization, sacrificed more than 70 people! Many people are left with a scumbag!
The devil is too vicious! Molotov cocktails were dropped, and it was in vain to extinguish the flames with water, and the clothes of the firefighters were scorched, and their hair and eyebrows were burned. I can only use shovels to raise soil to cover the fire seedlings, but with little effect, I can only watch this famous town in northwest Hebei be burned to the ground!
Hong Mei led a part of the people from the edge of the town to the devil's stronghold in the north, she seemed to be in the crackling flames crackling, heard a cry for help, and other comrades also said, everyone braved the heat wave to search around, and finally found that the faint cry for help came from the courtyard of the devil's stronghold!
There is also a sea of fire over there, it seems that the devil also poured oil on the yard and the turret when he retreated, and the billowing black smoke and choking heat made people unable to open their eyes and breathe!
Several fighters doused the quilt with water, covered their bodies, rushed to the burning gate, and together they smashed it open with a wooden stake. After rushing into the courtyard, no one could be found, but the fire became more and more intense, and there was no choice but to retreat.
When Lao Feng and the others also rushed over from the town, the fire in the stronghold was a little smaller, and there was not so much smoke, so they organized a group of people to go in to see who was calling for help just now?
After a long time, Lao Feng ran out of the stronghold with a black head and a dirty face, holding something in his arms and couldn't see clearly.
Running to Hong Mei and them, the clothes on Lao Feng's back were all burnt, and there was green smoke, and the people next to him hurriedly beat him with a towel or something, Lao Feng shouted in a hoarse voice: "Quick! Fast! Bring the water! Save! ”
It turned out that he was holding a little boy in his arms, the clothes on his body were gone, and his smoky and black little face couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, and he looked like he was five or six years old. Hong Mei hurriedly took it, put her ear on the child's chest, settled down, listened, fortunately, there was a heartbeat! Hurriedly take the kettle and pour water into the child's mouth slowly.
This kung fu Lao Feng took a sip of water, and then said hoarsely, in the house in the courtyard, a group of people were locked up, it is estimated that they were the Chinese who withdrew into the devil's stronghold when they beat the horse post last time. The devil withdrew this time and deliberately locked them in the house, did not take them away, and locked the door from the outside.
When Lao Feng and the others rushed into the yard, the house was on fire, and when they opened the door and went in, everyone was burned and couldn't see it, the child was found in the corner of the wall, and the two charred dead bodies on it just covered the child, Lao Feng took the child out, and the whole house collapsed!
