[Chapter 53] The Frightening Dragon Pool (2)
The next morning, because some soldiers were drunk at the celebration banquet last night and were temporarily unable to move, the regimental commander ordered everyone to have a good rest throughout the morning to recuperate their strength and energy, and get ready to go in the afternoon.
"Captain, what do you think about the strange thing about Nielongtan told by Commander Zhao of the Eighth Route Army?" Boss Liu took a few of us to the commander and reminded him not to be careless.
"Oh, that's the thing," the regiment leader said confidently, "I have already sent people to reconnoiter the road. The Nielong Pond is the only way for us to enter the mountain. There is no way for a large group of people to go around it! Lao Zhao and the others
I heard what he said about the strange things, but have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"No, but Captain Zhao, he doesn't look like a liar. Also, the last time we detoured from the Evil Dragon Pond, we did see something strange from a distance!"
"It's okay. Although we are in the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, apart from fighting the Japanese, we are not a family after all. I don't believe there are any great monsters in that pool. Besides, even if there is a monster, it must be eliminated before we can enter.
The mountain is, firstly, convenient for the troops to pass through and transport, and secondly, it can also be regarded as eliminating harm for the local people!"
"Captain, that thing is very powerful. How do you plan to get rid of it, Commander?"
"Lao Liu, don't worry! Do you really think that I, Lao Li, am a brainless fool? We have plenty of grenades, explosive packs and heavy weapons! I won't fight with it with a bayonet!"
After listening to the leader's words, we feel more relieved, because if this team of thousands of people is not restricted by the leader, it may immediately turn into stragglers, or even thugs motivated by money. We can't imagine the consequences.
!
After lunch, the regiment leader arranged for a company to be left behind to garrison the camp and guard important supplies such as military trucks. All other departments went into the mountain and arranged for a company to be responsible for carrying and transporting dry food supplies and lighting equipment, and marched toward the mountain in a mighty manner.
.
Not long after, the army of more than 900 people arrived at the high ground on the other side of Nielong Pond, and the regiment leader ordered to stop.
"Machine gun company and gunners, immediately aim at the Nielongtan in front and stand by!", the regiment commander gave the order, and dozens of machine guns and more than ten 60-gun cannons immediately entered combat mode!
"Old Liu, didn't you hear what Old Zhao from the Eighth Route Army said that bleeding livestock can lure out the monsters in the pond? Now we are standing on the high ground, and I will send someone to bleed the pig by the pond. Let's have a good look at it!
"The regiment leader called a few of us to his side and arranged for the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to go and lure the monsters, while he and we stared intently at the deep, foggy pool.
The masters of five or six reconnaissance companies quickly dropped a pig weighing 100 kilograms on the edge of the pool with a knife in their hands, and immediately retreated to a distance to wait.
Looking from a distance, the Nielongtan is still the same as when we came, and there is no unusual movement. After a pack of cigarettes, we all became anxious. If the pool is not as the Eighth Route Army Commander Zhao said, let's
The army is wasted here, and we are suspected of deceiving the commander!
"Hey, you guys, go and drag that pig back. Damn it, you might as well improve the food for the brothers! These idiots are just timid or want to deceive me. They are wasting time!
"After a while, the regiment leader finally couldn't bear it anymore and loudly called the scouts to go to the pond to retrieve the pig, and ordered the machine gun company and the gunner to pack up the guys and prepare to set off.
We also felt that our faces were shameful. After all, we had not seen the strange monsters that Commander Zhao mentioned with our own eyes. This was the Commander's face. Otherwise, if he had charged us with disturbing the morale of the troops and delaying the military aircraft, it would be enough for us to drink.
Damn it! So I watched helplessly as they put away their machine guns and six-piece cannon, without daring to say a word.
Everything is unexpected. Just when we were dejected, we heard a scream, and almost the whole group was shouting. We looked back and saw, Oh my God! Those scouts were carrying the pig.
When he turned back to leave, the originally foggy pool water suddenly rose several feet high, and a huge wave like a hill swept over. It instantly covered the scouts under the water, and then the water receded. The scouts were like this
Gone!
Although some soldiers fired randomly into the pool in panic, it did not help. The heavy machine guns and 60-guns had just been packed up and did not work!
"It's all my fault!" The regiment leader punched the tree next to him and knitted his brows together. Obviously, those scouts with special skills were the regiment leader's darlings. There were only five or six of them who couldn't understand why.
Miao was buried in an unknown puddle, and the leader felt regretful and regretful!
"Damn it! Machine gun company, gunners, hit me with all your strength! Hit me hard!"
"Da da da", "chirp-boom", dozens of machine guns and 60-gun cannons blasted at the Nielong Pond, splashing water everywhere, and the water column surged into the sky. But after the guns stopped, the water in the pond remained the same, and there was nothing.
Strangely enough, no monsters appeared!
"Alas! I am all careless! It seems that we have to use the old method." The regiment leader sighed, and ordered the two scouts to repeat the same trick again, and ordered the machine gun company and the gunners to make preparations again!
This time everyone has seen the power of the evil dragon pond water monster, so they all pressed the bullets, filled the cannonballs, adjusted the various elements, and took aim very seriously!
This time, until the two scouts bled the pig and threw it on the edge of the pond, and then ran to the regiment leader's side under orders, there was still no movement in the evil dragon pond!
"Brothers, please don't relax. If we don't kill this damn water monster today and avenge the brothers in the reconnaissance company, we won't give up!" the regiment leader ordered without looking back, his eyes fixed on the villain.
Longtan!
This monster in Nielongtan is really fucking spiritual. When we really waited for it to come out, it seemed to have lost its temper and showed no movement. Damn it, could it be that it really didn’t come out after being called for so many times?
Of course, the leader has also made up his mind and will not give up until we get rid of it! So we all stand ready and dare not relax at all, just for fear that the monster will come out and disappear in a blink of an eye, causing endless harm!
Just like that, for about half an hour, water began to gush out from the Nielong Pond, getting bigger and bigger, turning the originally clear water into a filthy mess!
"Be careful! Fire together when you come out, don't let it go!" The regiment commander, as if facing a formidable enemy, strictly ordered the machine gunners and gunners to treat it with caution. At this moment, there was only a loud sound of "Hulong--Hua--"
, the water waves in Nilongtan rushed up and swept towards the shore.
At the same time, guns and cannons fired in unison, and the angry bullets and cannonballs shot directly at the rising water waves like they had eyes. Amidst the rumbling sounds of guns and cannons, a strange "hissing" sound came from the pool.
Come on, it hurts your eardrums, and fear arises in your heart!
After a while, the water in the pool returned to calm. Looking from a distance, the originally clear water in the pool turned into a light blood red color, and it kept rising from the pool. The color became darker and darker, which was shocking.
"Hahaha! I finally killed that stupid monster, damn it! I lost five or six good brothers! Hey, you two, go over and see if that guy has floated up!"
The commander shouted to the two scouts below.
Chapter completed!
