Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fire and Water Section 3 Leave a Root and a Seedling

After Yang Bangzi got the telegram, he was shocked at that time! This group of devils of unknown origin went dozens of kilometers forward in a car at once, occupying Houshiyu Village, and there were only two places to go, either Hekou Village or Guojiabaozi from the north.

It is unlikely that he will go to Hekou Village, according to the information provided by Liu Dabutt, all the devils on the front line from Xiwangzhuang to Hekou Village have withdrawn, and how can a lone army with no supply line and no friendly troops enter the base area of the Eighth Route alone? It doesn't make logical sense.

Then it can only be stationed in Shiyu Village, Houtun, and take advantage of the night to sneak attack Guojiabaozi, and want to kill a horse pistol, the little devil must think that the cottage will loosen its guard when he sees the devil retreating.

If this judgment is correct, then the fellows who have just come down the mountain will be in trouble, and according to the calculation of foot strength, they will just go to the top of the devil who came to sneak attack on the road!

After thinking about it, Yang Bangzi couldn't rest assured, and immediately sent a telegram back to the third regiment, asking Liu Da Ass to send troops to insert between Houshiyu and Guojiabaozi as soon as possible, and to meet the villagers in Zhao's camp.

He himself ordered a company of people, handed over the defense of the cottage to the big one, and especially reminded all the people in the defensive positions that they could not withdraw! Keep your eyes and ears big tonight!

As soon as he came out of the Nanyakou, there was a gunfire in Xiangshang in the southeast, and Yang Bangzi heard the gunshots, and his heart was cold, and he realized that it must be the villagers of Zhao's camp who had encountered the devil.

Turning his head and telling all the fighters, the guns were bayonets, the grenades were unscrewed, they split into three paths, and quickly ran along the side of the road to the southeast.

After marching for more than ten minutes, the sound of guns and cannons in front of him gradually fell silent, and Yang Bangzi's heart became even colder. The heart is finished. The fifth son and that row of people are probably sacrificed. Otherwise, there will be no movement.

Just thinking about it, a figure could be faintly seen shaking on the avenue in front of him, and Yang Bangzi immediately squatted down, waving his hand to signal the soldiers behind to stop and prepare to fight!

Listening to it with his ears sideways, Yang Bangzi's heart was a little relieved, this hearing was the sound of footsteps on the soles of cloth shoes, and devils don't wear this kind of shoes. Yang stood up, carried a gun, and rushed over, just in time to meet a soldier whose scalp had been plowed a ditch by bullets, and ran in front with an old lady on his back.

When I saw the fifth son, I saw that this guy was also hung up, and I hurriedly asked what was going on? The fifth son said breathlessly that he was ambushed by the devils, and the villagers were all scattered, and there were only a few people left to protect the villagers and retreat.

I wanted to ask how many people were here, but suddenly there were gunshots in the southeast! First, there were a few separate explosions. It doesn't sound like a cannonball, it's a grenade of a devil. Then there were rows of gunfire.

Yang Bangzi estimated that this was the devil and what he had discovered, either the surviving soldiers, or the villagers who were hiding, he immediately asked the old five sons to take the villagers to withdraw quickly, and was telling the soldiers about the combat deployment, when suddenly the trajectory of the bullets in the southeast sky and the flash of the shell explosion reflected the half-pulled sky!

After a few seconds, look at this jiashi, people on both sides are indispensable, needless to say, the third regiment has arrived, this is to hand over the devil, you have to help you!

"First platoon, second platoon, machine gun squad, go with Lao Tzu! Three rows escort the fellow back to the cottage! After giving the order, Yang Bangzi held the gun in both hands, shook off his big stride and measured the direction of the sky, and ran down.

Shimizu Daisa led the men from the mound through the field to the dirt road where the battle had ended, and the soldiers were poking the dead bodies strewn across the road with bayonets to see if there were any alive.

An ambush battle, I thought there would be no loss, but I didn't expect to lose more than ten imperial soldiers, under such a fierce firepower, there were still people alive in the Eighth Road, and they even resisted for more than ten minutes, killing and wounding seven or eight imperial soldiers who tried to rush to the avenue.

I didn't find a single living Eighth Route soldier, and the three Eighth Routes of Zuihou were obviously unable to move, and when the Imperial Army soldiers surrounded him, he pulled a grenade with his teeth and died with several Imperial Army.

Qing Shui, who was in the wilderness at the time, saw this scene, so he ordered not to live anymore, and everyone who could find it was poked several times with bayonets.

The squadron leader in charge of cleaning up the avenue came over to report that some soldiers saw a lot of Eighth Road running towards the southeast side of the earthen ditch, and some of them ran back along the avenue, and asked Shimizu Daisa if he wanted to pursue?

Qing Shui was standing there with a flashlight to check the eight roads that had been killed, there could be fifty or sixty dead bodies on the road, a few and half of them were soldiers carrying bullet bags or something, and most of them seemed to be ordinary people, and the road was full of discarded packages and baskets.

In particular, the corpses of several children proved Qing Shui's judgment, this is a group of ordinary people who came out of Guojiabaozi, escorted by a small force of troops on the Eighth Road, and hurried overnight.

Qing Shui thought about it, the gunshots spread far away at night, judging by what he saw in Guojiabaozi, this is not all the Eight Roads and ordinary people, just a small part, and chasing along the avenue may not be able to catch up, and if it is not good, it will have to meet the Eighth Road who came to the rescue.

So Qing Shui ordered a squadron to be deployed along the mound to the avenue, and a squadron to pursue the ditch in the southeast, don't live, see one kill the other, come back in an hour, don't chase too far.

He himself led a brigade, withdrew to the east of the mound, rested and ate on the spot, and prepared to set off the whole army in an hour.

The devil of the squadron that went to hunt down the fellows, flashlights, torches, and stragglers lined up in three lines, fanned out into the field to the southeast.

As soon as the bullets and shells on the mound came down just now, the crowd was chaotic, and everyone ran away! There are more than 100 villagers who went against the direction of the gunfire, got off the dirt road, and ran west in the field in a panic, in fact, the southeast and northwest have long been unknown, anyway, the farther away from the gunfire, the better!

When the avenue is made into a pot of porridge, run as fast as you can, the child cries and the adults shout, the shoes run off and don't care about picking up, the package is scattered and don't dare to pick up, waiting for the avenue to stop, there is no gunfire behind him, many hometown cats got down, looked in horror in the direction they came, and didn't dare to run!

This dirt road to the east is the place between the hills and the plains through the mounds, and to the west, it is less than three miles away, which is the root of the large and small ridges, and the soil ditches and stone ridges formed by the rain are all along the edges, if you can run to the mountains in one breath, you can also avoid the search of the devils.

Most of the fellows had walked for half a night, and they were so frightened that they fled for two miles, but they couldn't run, and there was no movement behind them, so they simply hid in a ditch, and the adults covered their children's mouths, and they didn't dare to take a mouthful.

Lying on the edge of the ditch to watch the situation, the people whispered that it was not good, and they came from the east with flashlights and torches! Looks like they're here to catch us!

Not far from the mouth of the ditch, there is a small depression, and after passing the depression, you have to climb a slope full of broken stones and stones, this slope must be 100 meters long, and you can climb up to enter the mountain.

These are all exhausted old people and children, the prime of life can still run out, the patriarch of the Zhao family's camp is quite calm, think about it and say, the young and middle-aged take the children and young women, run out of the ditch to the mountains, and the rest of the old people stay in the ditch.

Otherwise, they all run together, the old people and children climb the mountain slowly, and the devils rush up, and none of them can escape! The old ones stay, fight with the devils, and the few escape, and leave some roots and seedlings for the Zhao family's camp, the patriarch Zuihou said to the nephew of the family, don't forget to avenge us in the future!

Listen to the words of the patriarch, whether it is a family or not, anyway, I can't write two Zhao characters with one stroke, and a dozen or so children from ten to two months old have been handed over to the hands of young adults, and the young women also wiped their faces with mud, and followed together to grope out of the ditch, through the depression, and desperately climb up the mountain!
