The fire on the east side of the village was blazing, and it soon burned to pieces, separating the second company on the edge of the village from the enemies in the village. The gunfire thinned out, the explosions ceased to be frequent, and the skyrocketing flames lit up a large area, and whoever attacked in the light was a fool.

Now this result, not only did the enemy not expect it, but Wu Yan, Hao Ping, and Hu Yi also did not expect it, scattered in three directions, not in the same place, and there was no time to communicate with each other to study countermeasures, and it all depended on their own decisions.

In the darkness of the woods in the north of the village, Hao Ping, who had been watching the firelight, asked Yang Dezhi beside him, "What do you think?"

Yang Dezhi glanced at Hao Ping gratefully, unexpectedly after yesterday's 'accidental injury' incident, he still didn't mind listening to his opinion, so he was humble for the first time: "This kind of sudden situation...... I don't have much experience, don't you think...... What to do?"

"The little devil doesn't know our reality and reality, if he fights in the dark, their advantage will be gone, so even if we harass him, he will hide in the village and don't want to come out, just rely on it until dawn. I guess now...... They should have two choices, one is to continue to stay in the village and delay, after all, the village is not small, and it may not be burned down by dawn, and the other is to withdraw from the village to the west, or leave or stay in another plan. ”

Yang Dezhi nodded: "It makes sense, so what should we do now?"

"That's what I'm hesitating about, if we go to the west in advance to set up, it may take advantage of the darkness to take advantage of the chaos of the black devils, but if they don't choose to retreat west, we will be busy in vain. ”

Yang Dezhi understood that what Hao Ping needed now was confidence, and thought about it: "If there are fish or not, should we catch a net first?"

Hao Ping, who was looking at the firelight, was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth and ordered the soldiers: "Inform the whole company to move to the west." ”

......

In the woods south of the village, a platoon commander lay in the dark and said in a low voice: "This trick is good for the second company, the fire is together, and the little devil can only be in a hurry." Company commander, do you want to touch it too, join in the fun here, add a few fires, and burn the little devil to ashes in one go. ”

Wu Yan didn't speak, he kept staring at the fire in the east of the village, his face was not good, but because of the dark environment, the soldiers couldn't see it.

At this moment, Wu Yan's heart was desperately calculating, guessing, the follow-up changes brought about by Gao Yidao's fire. It is estimated that the devil's reaction will be three: first, continue to hold on to the village, how long can it be delayed, and the closer to the dawn time, the more beneficial it will be to them; second, withdraw from the village to the west, and then go straight to Lushuipu, which should be the most secure and conservative plan; third, directly hit the village, conduct night battles, melee, the two sides are equal in strength, although their accuracy advantage and firepower advantage are gone, but who gains and who loses is not certain.

Wu Yan was able to come up with three possibilities, but without knowing the character of the enemy's commander, he could not judge the answer among these three options, so Wu Yan chose the most unfavorable possibility for his own side according to his own personality to prepare.

In contrast, of course, it is more troublesome to fight, once the situation is like this, the first company and the third company are easier to handle, and they can retreat at any time, and the second company in the middle is dangerous, and they may even be eaten. I don't know how the Third Company will respond, so I can only do what the First Company should do well, stick to the current south woods, and if the situation is bad, at least let the Second Company have a direction where it can retreat or break through.

"Note that the first platoon continues to monitor the direction of the village, the second platoon is changed to defend the west side, and the third platoon defends the east side, and the whole company is firmly in this wood, ready to meet the enemy at close range. ”

"Huh?" The three platoon commanders didn't understand, they either fought or retreated, and all of them were firmly defended?

"Execute!"

"Yes. The last stern tone made his subordinates dare not be ambiguous, and turned around and ran to arrange.

......

"Brother, let's ...... When do you go?"

"Wait and see, when the devil's movement is determined, when will we go. ”

Ma Liang didn't understand a little, why did the devil come? and asked, "Then where are we going?"

"How you left last night, how you go tonight, as usual. ”

"That'...... Why are the devils here?"

Hu Yi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Now that Gao Yidao is leading the second company and setting it on fire, if you are a devil, what should you do?"

Ma Liang looked back at the fire in the village, thought for a while, and said, "Look at this situation, half of the village will be burned at dawn, and you can still stay, right?"

Luo Fugui suddenly laughed at this time: "Hey, hey, stay? You go to the village and try it, if you can't burn to death, you will choke you to death! Why are the little devils called little devils? Because they are ghosts and goblins, they are all smoky and miasma, and they are still roasting sweet potatoes in the village? How stupid are they? Do you think they are all like Wu Shi?"

Ma Liang was not angry: "Then what do you say they can do with this black light?"

"Do you still need to think about it? Run! This is pitch black, and if you run to the green water shop in one breath, you won't believe it, will someone follow you to burn it again?"

“...... If you are a devil, we will burn high incense, how worry-free!" This is Ma Liang's last evaluation to Luo Fugui.

"The devils don't stay in the village, it's a squadron, not a squad, there is no treasure buried in the village, it's not their temper to do this. Hu Yi spoke, first denied Ma Liang's opinion, paused and continued: "They won't run west, only there has been no gunshot, but anyone who is a little suspicious will not choose that direction lightly." There is basically no visibility, what should we do if we are ambushed? What should we do if we step on a mine? We really have no ambush, let alone a mine, but unfortunately the devil does not know. ”

Luo Fugui suddenly realized, and then said, "Why don't you ...... I shouted at them and said that the west side was really fine. You say...... Can they understand?"

“......”

There was a crackling sound, and in the dark, someone threw something in the direction of Luo Fugui, there was sand and dirt, and what made Luo Fugui feel most annoying was that there were still people throwing stones at him, it seemed that it was from the direction of Xiao Hongying.

It wasn't until the bear barked a few times in the darkness that Ma Liang patted the dirt on his hands and said, "Brother, if you say so, there are only two directions left for the devil, either to the south or to the north." ”

"I guess so, so...... Let's wait and see. ”

......

All around was the sound of commotion and burning, with the sound of crackling and peeling, and the light shone in all directions, sometimes bright, sometimes red, sometimes dim. Some of the gray soldiers, crawling and hiding, jagged, wagged wolves fighting among the flames, ashes, and rubble.

Gao Yidao, who was hiding behind a broken wall, his face was blackened, and his whole body was already dirty and black, and he was removing the bayonet from the muzzle, carefully wiping both sides of the blade in front of his chest to make sure it was clean, and then put it into the bayonet scabbard on his waist.

had to be unloaded, the body of the gun hanging with the bayonet was too long, and it was extremely inconvenient in the rubble, and it was only at this time that he realized the benefits of the short gun, which made Gao Yidao regret it very much, and did not prepare one for himself on weekdays.

There was a boom, and the roof of a burning house not far away suddenly collapsed, and a large cloud of misty dust and embers was rolled and pushed around, with a scorching breath that covered a large area, choking on the sound of coughing.

The gunfire was sparse, but still ringing, and some of the walls or brick cracks occasionally danced with flying debris, which were no longer noticeable in the shaking firelight. A figure crawled through the smoke of the ruins, sometimes jumping smartly, sometimes crawling quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the vicinity.

Gao Yidao took a closer look at the blackened grimace by the firelight, it was a fast leg.

"How's the second row going?"

"Phew—there are about a dozen left. ”

"What? If he sets a fire, he can reduce more than half of his troops? What does he do with the second pillar? You go back and tell him now, this platoon commander doesn't need him to do it, he will change the fuck now!" Gao Yidao was furious, and his voice was hoarse and shouted to the fast legs.

"It's been replaced, and the second pillar is dead. There was a grenade that rang off before it could be shot, and seven or eight died on the spot, including two pillars. ”

“......”

Gao Yidao, who was sitting behind the ruined wall, was speechless, drooped his head, and sighed deeply. What can be said about such a thing? It's fate. It's just that they ...... Death is wronged, this is fate.

Now there are more than ten left in the second platoon, more than ten in the first platoon, and more than a dozen on his side, and more than half of the casualties in the second company. How many devils died, maybe twenty, I don't know, it's definitely less than the second company. The original purpose was to rely on the courage to disrupt the devil's position, but now it seems that it is in vain, at this moment the fire has burned into a large piece, and still does not feel the devil panic, they don't even have the idea of extinguishing the fire, but they continue to shoot the cold gun steadily on the side of the flame zone, Gao Yidao is a little discouraged.

"Company commander, what's wrong with you?"

"Not much, it gives the fire a headache. Gao Yidao was thinking in his heart, whether the second company should retreat now.

Kuaijiao is the communicator of the second company, equivalent to the tail of Gao Yidao, he can probably guess the company commander's thoughts, so he doesn't say anything more, and sits down against the remnant wall next to Gao Yidao, looking at the darkness in the field, listening to the undulating gunshots from time to time.

After a while, the fast legs suddenly spoke.

"Company commander, gunshots...... Something seems wrong!"

Gao Yidao came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"Listen, how can the other side change seven or nine, it's not three or eight big covers!"

Gao Yidao immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, frowned and remained motionless. Sure enough, the other side of the flame was no longer the devil's three-eight big cover, but the sound of seventy-nine rifles, staggered east and west.

"Damn, it's a puppet army on the other side now!"

"The little devil is tired, take the puppet army as a substitute?" the fast-legged fox muttered suspiciously.

"No way! The devil must have moved. Gao Yidao turned over suddenly, squatting behind the remnant wall and poking his head out, but unfortunately the smoke was filled, and the reverse reflection of the firelight made it impossible to see the opposite situation.

"Hurry up and inform the first and second platoons, pay attention to the flanks, and wait for my orders at any time!"

"Yes. ”

The fast legs hurriedly got up, and once again rushed into a cloud of scorching smoke......
