The U-shaped cloister was a mess, the sandbag walls had been cut down, the water tank had been crumbled, and the cloister had been blocked so that people could easily get through.

Luo Fugui gasped and looked inside the dark turret for a while, he didn't rush in, the light was really poor, the ghost knows what the situation was inside? Did the enemies at the bottom be killed? Did the enemies at the top come down?

I didn't dare to go in first, Wu Shishi was not this material, fortunately, there was a good seedling of Xu Xiao who wanted to be a martyr in his hand, so he didn't need to say anything, just said a "Shang" to him, and the child was already so happy that his nose bubbled.

With the rifle on his back, Xu Xiao carried the shell gun and drilled into it without saying a word.

This is really a good boy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, Luo Fugui couldn't help but whisper behind him: "Grandma, you slow down! ”

The cat cautiously turned out of the corridor, the ground floor space was in sight, the shooting holes around it were showing a faint light, the light was very poor, and there were shadows on the ground with some figures.

This is the second time Xu Xiao has entered the turret, counting that he has participated in a total of two battles this time, and the result is that both times are fighting turrets, although this turret is not the other turret, but the turrets of Deciduous Village and Lushuipu are the same size and have the same pattern, so although it is dark inside, Xu Xiao also locked the position of the staircase at first sight, but there is no light on it at all, which makes Xu Xiao a little puzzled, because he doesn't know that the staircase is blocked by the enemy on the second floor.

......

Between the ground floor and the second floor is a row of thick wooden beams, on which two layers of strong thick planks are nailed from the horizontal phase, and the position is also slightly higher, so the grenade explosion just now did not cause casualties on the second floor. After the explosion, the devil army Cao estimated that the dozen or so puppet soldiers at the bottom were finished, and then there was a digging sound at the entrance, which indicated that the enemy was about to enter.

However, Jun Cao did not order the sealed staircase to be opened, calculating the time, reinforcements from Fallen Leaf Village should appear at any time, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, the battle would end immediately, so Jun Cao did not want to risk this last time. Since the Eighth Route has always wanted to set fire, it means that the Eighth Route has no explosives, as long as the main force of the Eighth Route in the west is blocked on the periphery, then even if the bottom floor is occupied by the Eighth Road, they still can't take the turret in a short time, and the reinforcements should arrive, and the turret will not be lost!

As a result, the heavy machine guns on the second floor were also transferred to the third floor, and the three machine guns went up and continued to be unswervingly suppressed to the west, and the staircase on the third floor was closed and blocked. Jun Cao personally took a few devils to stay on the second floor to prepare for contingencies, the purpose was still to delay time and wait for help.

......

The silver case jumped up, and the dial shimmered with a hazy light, Hu Yi was silent for a while, closed his pocket watch again, and subconsciously looked at the eastern sky.

Time was running out, and in order to increase the suddenness of the attack, the battle was launched after midnight, but the first fire failed to cause the enemy to panic, and the first accident occurred; the runny nose led the second group to charge, but caught fire in the middle of the way, and there was a second accident; the mules did not retreat, but instead attacked the bottom of the turret, which was the third accident. It dragged on and on, and until now, the sky was about to dawn.

The mule only had the fool and Xu Xiao in his hands, three people, could he take out the turret?

The enemy's machine guns have always maintained a suppression on the west flank, and the ninth platoon has attracted the enemy's attention, but if the mules do not retreat, the busy nine platoons behind will not be able to help, and it will be more advantageous to the enemy when it is dawn. But in any case, it is impossible to let the ninth platoon charge for this, and three machine guns, even if they are blindfolded, are a massacre.

The reinforcements are Li Youde of Fallen Leaf Village, named a battalion, it is said that most of the bandits in the three families were collected by him, and now there are at least six or seven hundred people, just looking at the number of people, it can be regarded as a regiment. Ma Liang intercepted the message halfway, did it block it? Even if it was blocked, did there be any other leakage? The worst result is that Li Youde may be about to get here. At night, the people of the green water shop did not dare to go out, but the truth would be revealed as soon as the morning dawned, and the news would arrive in the Fallen Leaves Village sooner or later, and the best result would be that Li Youde's team would arrive in the morning.

But the key problem is that if it drags on until dawn, the three mules will have no chance to evacuate at all. What does the mule think? His virtue will certainly not fail to understand the form, and this kind of thing should be dry with a runny nose. Hu Yi has a headache, and he can't do anything at the moment, so he can only watch it, and look at it.

......

Although there is no watch, Ma Liang also knows that the dawn is not far away, and although his location is between Lushuipu and Deciduous Village, it is closer to Lushuipu. There was a faint red glow over the mountain pass, indicating that there was still fire burning there, and the sound of gunfire was still faintly ringing, indicating that the battle was still going on.

Why hasn't the battle ended yet? Why has the battle dragged on until now? What's going on? This qiē made Ma conscience anxious.

The task was to intercept the enemy who had reported the news, delay the enemy's reinforcements, and from the beginning of the battle to the present, more than one person was captured, and all of them were tied up in the dense forest by the side of the path.

The first one is a puppet army, who ran out of the turret and wanted to move rescue soldiers to Fallen Leaf Village.

It didn't take long to block another one, black clothes and black pants carrying a box cannon, and after being caught, he panicked and confessed that he was a nurse, called Tail. As soon as Ma Liang saw this virtue, he knew that it must be Li Youcai's subordinate of the green water shop, so he didn't bother to expose his lies and tied him up directly.

Not long ago, another one was arrested, neither a puppet army nor a traitor, he was really a green water shop. His purpose is also simple, he can get two catties of millet to report the news, so he dared to go out in the dark, and took the initiative to send news to the fallen leaf village, but he also crashed in, crying and being tied into zongzi.

Ma Liang also began to have a headache, the situation was more complicated than imagined, two catties of millet made some people forget their enemies and friends, dare to take risks, and dare to be traitors. In this case, is it really blocked? Will anyone miss it?

Thinking of this, Ma Liang no longer hesitated, and ordered a soldier beside him in a low voice: "You go to the Fallen Leaf Village immediately, if you can't meet the enemy who has been reinforced along the way, stay outside the Fallen Leaf Village and keep an eye on it, as long as the enemy comes out, come and report immediately." ”

The warrior received the order and hurried into the darkness.

......

The new barracks is located outside Luoye Village, but Li Youde, the battalion commander, lives in his Li family compound every day.

It was almost dawn, and the light was still on in Li Youde's study, because he had been sitting in the study and didn't close his eyes.

There was a pot of tea on the table, which had already cooled down. A puppet army officer sat at a table, boredly fiddling with the empty tea bowl in his hand. His name is Li Yong, he used to be the militia captain of the Li family's compound, and now he is the deputy battalion commander of the Fallen Leaves Battalion, and he is a real confidant of Li Youde.

"It's almost dawn, isn't it?" asked Li Youde, who was reading under the lamp on the other side of the table, suddenly without looking up.

Li Yong looked out the window: "It's almost there." He put down the empty tea bowl in his hand, glanced at Li Youde secretly, hesitated, and smacked his lips: "Uncle, the people I arranged near the green water shop will definitely not dare to lie, the gun and the fire will definitely happen, something will definitely happen, why don't you believe it." Or...... I'll take a company to take a look first, and if there's anything to do, I won't delay anything. ”

Li Youde finally put down the book in his hand, tilted his head to look at Li Yong for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Li Yong, tell you clearly, if you can't wait for the green water shop to deliver the letter, I will definitely not send troops. ”

"That'...... Isn't it dangerous to pave the turret with green water? Isn't the task set by the imperial army for us to ......?"

"Hehe, the phone hasn't been installed yet, the messenger hasn't come, I haven't gotten the news, and it's not my responsibility to lose the turret?"

Li Yong was a little stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Uncle, do you mean ......" He didn't dare to finish his words.

Li Youde didn't mind: "That's right, I'm just waiting for the Eighth Road to end the green water to pave the turret." ”

"Even if the Imperial Army doesn't blame, it's ...... What's in it for us?"

Li Youde stood up from the table, paced to the window, and paused for a while before saying, "Li Yong, you say...... What happens if the turret is endowed by the eight-way road?"

"Next...... What will happen?" I couldn't guess the answer, so I had to ask rhetorically.

Li Youde smiled again: "You, you know how to operate guns and cannons all day long, and you don't have a head." And that's next...... The imperial army will be unhappy, and if it is unhappy, it will retaliate, and it will be deterred to prove the strength of the imperial army, but this green water shop is too far away from the county seat, and it is not worth it to mobilize the people for a turret. We're here, aren't we just a ready-made team? ”

"But...... What's in it for us to go to the Eight Roads?"

"Balance. ”

"Balance?" Li Yong couldn't understand.

"Yes, balance, everything needs to be balanced. With balance, there is a scale, and with a scale, there is a business. ”

The more Li Yong listened, the more confused he became, and finally he was stupid.

Li Youde seemed to have forgotten that Li Yong was still at the table, and continued to say to himself: "It's almost autumn!"
