Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (25)

When no more gunshots were heard, Liu Maizai tried to get up from the ground, only to find that the two palms lying on the ground were already red, and he was afraid that he would be burned if he lay down for a while. Liu Maizai, whose real name is Liu Mai, his old father called him Maicub, so everyone called him Liu Maicub behind his back. The real launch of this name was the first time Naoyuki Kiyono saw him after he surrendered to the Japanese, and misunderstood that Liu Maicub was his honorific name, so he called it directly. Although Liu Mai was not happy, but the imperial army called out naturally to be wrong, so he gave himself a nickname Liu Maizai, and over time, the name Liu Mai was gradually forgotten, and everyone called him Liu Maizai.

Liu Maizai looked around, everyone was alive, there were no dead or injured, very comforting, and then looked at Matsushita Jiro, who was blowing on the palm of his hand, everything was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This breath did not slack for long, and after a while, someone came to report that the front, middle and rear sections of the marching brigade had been ambushed, only to know that it was only the headquarters in the middle and rear that was not involved. According to statistics, there were 120 casualties of the appeasement army, a whole company, and the casualty ratio accounted for less than one-tenth of the whole regiment. The proportion of Japanese casualties was even higher than this, a squad of 54 people in the front army, 37 people were killed, and the rest were wounded, and none of them were intact. The Japanese troops who were in charge of the tail saw the opportunity early, and mixed with the puppet army, so they still killed sixteen people and wounded twenty-four. A squadron of 180 men suffered 94 casualties, more than 50 percent, which is also a bit too high.

The Japanese puppet army, who came back to their senses, shot at the pine forest opposite the puddle for a while, but did not see anyone returning fire, only saw the pine branches being beaten all over the sky, and knew that the attackers had gone far away, so they had to pack up the team, lift the dead and wounded, and walk towards Gaohebu.

Fortunately, it is not far from Gaohebu, and the destination is ahead.

Matsushita Jiro asked Liu Maizai to lead the way, he had stayed in this place before, and he should be familiar with it. Liu Maizai had no way to shirk, so he could only lead his troops to the front.

As soon as I arrived in the south city of Gaohebu, I only heard three cannon sounds from the city, which frightened Liu Maizai to plunge on the hot ground again, and secretly screamed in his heart, there is still an ambush here!

Then no gunshots were heard, and Liu Maizai was wondering, but he heard a trivial hiss piercing the sky, followed by the sound of the victory drum that sounded on the mountain. He propped up his upper body on the ground and stretched out his head to look, only to see a group of men and horses walking out of the city gate with bare necks, waving the Japanese sun flag, carrying drums, and beating gongs and cymbals, so they were so happy. The leader was a goatee, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "I heard that Head Liu came to Gaohebu again, and the little old man greeted him late." ”

Liu Maizai got up from the ground at this time, patted the dust on his clothes with both hands, looked at the approaching villager with an embarrassed face, and couldn't say anything.

"Chief Liu came to Gaohebu and gave three bows first, which shows that he has a deep love for Gaohebu, and the little old man is very moved, so he hereby returns the gift." Goatee is an old man who knows how to give people down the stairs, clenching his fists with both hands, and arching to the end.

Liu Maizai woke up this time, caught up with two steps, put his hands on the arms of the goatee, and said: "What a courtesy, what a courtesy!" Liu was stationed in Gaohebu, and he was very affectionate about the grass and trees in this place, and he came again this time, and he felt a lot, and he couldn't help but knock on the ground with his forehead, which can be regarded as telling the local Chenghuang land, and I Liu someone is here again. ”

"It is an honor for me to be able to come to Gaohebu again, it is rare for Chief Liu to be so affectionate to Gaohebu, and all Gaohebu people are inexplicably grateful." Goatee replied that it was his purpose to bring his feelings closer, and it was rare for Liu Maizai to cooperate so well and climb up the pole.

Just when these two people were talking more and more speculatively, Matsushita Jiro had already walked to the city gate, and Liu Maizai introduced Matsushita Jiro to Goatee, and Goatee immediately saluted deeply. After seeing the salute, he waved his hand behind him, and a victory drum mixed with the sound of triumphant screams resounded in the sky again. This time the sound did not scare Matsushita Jiro, but he looked at him at a loss and didn't know why, he came to China, this is the first time to get such treatment, fortunately the translator translated in time, so that Matsushita Jiro smiled.

The first to the city is a puppet army dressed in dust, and then there is a team to help the wounded and carry the corpses, dozens of corpses were sent by Goatee to the Xilai Temple in the west of the city, this kind of thing is too unlucky, it cannot be allowed to enter the city. The team that greeted the Japanese puppet army laughed from the bottom of their hearts, and they couldn't say how happy they were when they saw the Japanese puppet army eating deflated, so they could only beat the gongs and drums in their hands louder and blow more happily.

The disabled veteran stood silently on crutches, his cold eyes flashed with blazing fire, he saw a lot of life and death in the Battle of Songhu, and also saw a lot of corpses, but most of them were the corpses of his brothers, this time he really saw the corpses of the Japanese, and there was a trace of pleasure and relief in his heart. He soon discovered the difference between the corpses, they were all carried on stretchers, the bodies of the Japanese were well wrapped in shrouds, and the corpses of the puppet soldiers were casually thrown on stretchers, with a pale face, without even a piece of cloth, which was really inferior to pigs and dogs. The disabled veteran raised the crutch in his right hand, touched the ground lightly, and kowtowed on his behalf, which was regarded as a thank you to the first battalion of the 526th Regiment that killed the enemy in Nanwazi.

"One, two, three......" The disabled veteran silently counted in his heart: "There are a total of fifty-three Japanese corpses, not many of the puppet army, a full forty, hehe, strange, less than the Japanese!" Know, these Guangxi soldiers still have an incense in their hearts, everyone is Chinese, a little unable to kill. Okay, in that case, for the sake of this incense, I'm going to go to the hidden mountain and tell them the results of the battle. Grandma's, more than 70 miles away, I'm afraid I'm going to grind my two armpits out of calluses again! ”

Shaking his head and laughing, the disabled veteran did not follow the goatee back to the city, but slowly walked towards the direction of Gongling to the west.

On Niuxing Ridge, it was already sunset, and Ouyang Jin came here with his team and was immediately warmly welcomed by the thin monkey.

"It's cool this time!" The skinny monkey asked with a smile.

"Cool, it's fucking cool, across a river, hit and run, he wants to chase unless he has wings." Ouyang Jin said that, and laughed himself: "It's a pity that they are not flat-haired animals!" ”

Walking into the barracks hand in hand, it was really a team that had won the battle, and the thin monkey brought Ouyang Jin directly to the command headquarters, asked him to dictate the message, and immediately reported the good news to Mo Di. Ouyang Jin, as a military cadet, had his own article in his belly, and he dictated the message in two casual sentences, and asked for a sentence at the end: "The post department has buried a large number of * in the Gaohebu military camp, whether it will be detonated tonight, please give instructions from the regimental seat." ”

Hearing Ouyang Jin's last words, the thin monkey turned his attention to Ouyang Jin and asked, "Are you buried*?" Ouyang Jin nodded.

"How much is buried?" Skinny Monkey asked again.

"Four hundred pounds." Ouyang Jin replied.

"Where is it buried?" The expression of the skinny monkey, like that of a cat that sees a fish.

"Hehe, haven't you been to the barracks in Gaohebu?" Ouyang Jin shook his head after seeing the thin monkey, and said: "In the north of Gaohebu, there is an old Qing barracks, no matter who has garrisoned Gaohebu over the years, they will choose this place without exception, there are many houses, wide places, various practice facilities, and strict grades, the prefect's department is the commander's department, and the soldier area is the soldier area." Generally speaking, this place can garrison five hundred, and if it exceeds five hundred, it will be a little crowded. The house next to the prefect's headquarters will also house soldiers. I put half of the * in the dormitory of the commander's department, and half in the dormitory of the barracks, both of which were filled with water tanks, and used ash to make a living, and led a lead outside. If you want to light it, it's very convenient, do you want to light it tonight? I just presented them with a welcome gift in Nanwazi, and you want to give another big meal to the newly arrived Japanese puppet army. ”

"Hehehehehe!" Skinny Monkey laughed: "I thought about it, but I guess the boss won't agree." ”

"Why?" Ouyang Jin asked puzzledly, wasn't this plan set by the boss himself?

"You just reported to the boss that Gaohebu should not expand the war excessively, and should imitate our battle in Shipai, use the enemy of Gaohebu to lure the enemy in Anqing, and wipe out the enemy in Anqing in one bite, so as to achieve the goal of attacking Anqing. In this case, how can you eat the enemy of Gaohebu in one bite, and how can you fish without Erbium. Skinny Monkey said.

Ouyang Jin pondered for a while before he said: "I don't want the boss to blow up Gaohebu, it's selfish, when I left Gaohebu today, the local fathers and elders sent them off politely, they knew that our ambush in Nanwazi would cause the enemy's retaliation, but they were not afraid of retaliation, and still pointed out the best ambush path for us." We are gone, leaving them under the iron hooves of the enemy, my heart is not a good feeling, if I create another killing in Gaohebu, and cause the enemy to retaliate against the villagers of Gaohebu, I will be too guilty. ”

After hearing this, the thin monkey stopped making a sound, and after a long time, he said to Ouyang Jin: "Where is your * buried, will it be invalid for a long time?" ”

"Probably not." Ouyang Jin was not very sure and said: "At least it won't expire in half a year, I used ash to buckle it." ”

"Then don't move him first, when you want to move, go at any time, the initiative is in our hands, I'm afraid he will do something!" The thin monkey said: "If the boss wants us to go some, I will help you convince the boss that the time has not yet come, and we must choose the best time to start." ”

Ouyang Jin stood up excitedly, held the thin monkey's hand tightly, and said loudly: "Chief of Staff Hou's help, Ouyang Jin thank you!" ”

The thin monkey pulled out the hand that was clenched by Ouyang Jin, slapped Ouyang Jin with his backhand, and said with a smile: "My own brother, if you say this, you will see the outside!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ouyang Jin nodded, he was a graduate of the military academy, and the thin monkey was born in the wild road, he usually knew that the thin monkey was clever, but he didn't expect that this person could be so open-minded.

It was already completely dark, and the temporary barracks in Niuxingling were full of horse lanterns and the fire of Songmingzi, and the assault company's room was busy for a while, and finally finished the diet of one battalion and one company. It was said that it should not have been done so late, and a few soldiers of the assault company were bored, and they actually found a nest of wild boars on Niuxingling, and a group of people went up the mountain for a long time to get the wild boar back. One big and two small, the big one has more than 100 catties, and the small one has about 60 catties. It took another half a day to clean up the three wild boars, but fortunately, the baggage team of the first battalion and the team directly under the battalion headquarters came early and worked together, otherwise, if you want to eat rotten wild boar, you are afraid that you will have to wait for another two hours.

Ouyang Jin just picked up the wine glass, only to see Wang Huanan, the commander of the first company in charge of guarding, with two soldiers, carrying a person on his back and hurriedly walking in from outside, Wang Huanan's hands were clearly carrying two crutches, Ouyang Jin looked a little familiar, it was the disabled veteran who instructed him to go to Nanwazi to ambush at noon today.
