As he spoke, Mahan's eyes were a bit greedy, and he obviously didn't want to give up the food.
"Burn!" Ding Wei thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
"Burn?" Mahan's tone suddenly changed and he asked tentatively: "Captain, how about we come back a second time? This is all food.
What a waste it would be to burn it. Can't I lead my troops back now and unload the grain immediately and do it again a second time?"
"No!" Ding Wei flatly refused: "I only gave the order to block the first platoon for two hours, and we couldn't speed up in time.
An hour and a half has passed now, and they should retreat soon! If we come back the next day, it will be no different than a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!"
Ding Wei is very sensible.
Although the materials in front of me were very tempting, in the end reason defeated greed.
"You can keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood." Ding Wei said with relief: "Quick! Unpack a few barrels of gasoline for me and pour it all on the supplies that cannot be taken away.
Even if we can't take them away, we must not leave these supplies to the little devils!"
"Yes! Captain!" Mahan no longer hesitated, immediately stood up and saluted, and casually pulled in a few soldiers from the first battalion to help.
The soldiers led one carriage after another into the mountains and forests.
Mahan had also doused all the carriages with gasoline. Worried that the power was not enough, he put another bucket of gasoline in each carriage.
Finally, he carried two small barrels of gasoline and poured a long trace along the ground for starting a fire.
…
Qingtian County, Headquarters.
Dongdao Qingshan's face was gloomy. The originally scheduled supplies should have arrived long ago, but now they are half an hour late.
"Nishino-kun, are you sure the supplies have been sent out?" Higashishima Aoyama looked at Nishino Heiji and asked.
"Replying to your Excellency, the commander of the company, I can confirm it!" Nishino Heiji paused and said: "I just made a call and the supplies have been dispatched."
"Could it be that the transportation team is in trouble?" Dongdao Qingshan suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.
"Nishino-kun, immediately order the bases around the railway to pick them up along the way! Immediately!"
"Hai!" Nishino Heiji responded.
Before he could run out, a superior soldier held a telegram in his hand and said in a panic: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it's not good! It's not good!"
"What's wrong!" Dongdao Qingshan took a few steps and asked urgently.
"The train transporting supplies was ambushed, and the supporting troops were ambushed in the direction of Zhaojiapo. The supporting troops were unable to reach the ambush site!" the superior soldier said quickly.
The green mountains of Dongdao turned pale as if struck by lightning.
The train transporting supplies was ambushed and the supporting troops were unable to reach the ambush site?
"Add more troops! Reinforce Zhaojiapo immediately! Immediately!" Dongdao Qingshan grabbed the collar of the superior soldier and shouted.
"Hai!" The private's body trembled slightly.
Even though Higashikata Aoyama's saliva had already sprayed on his face, the superior soldier did not dare to make an unnecessary move.
"Go quickly!" Dongdao Qingshan threw him to the ground.
The superior soldier ignored the pain in his butt and ran away as fast as he could.
…
"Hiss...hoo..."
Ding Wei blew out a smoke ring coolly and looked at the train in the distance in front of him.
"Captain? Are we really in trouble?" Ma Han was a little unwilling to give up.
When pouring gasoline, he had an extra thought, fearing that the group leader would regret it temporarily, so he did not pour gasoline on the food at all.
"That's right, Commander, it's such a pity that the food is burned."
Zhang Long also felt a little distressed when he learned that Ding Wei was going to burn all the food that he couldn't take away.
"If you can resist the train, you can say whatever you want, I won't give a shit." Ding Wei said angrily.
As he said that, in order to completely cut off their thoughts, Ding Wei directly threw the cigarette butt on the gasoline at his feet.
The gasoline has evaporated for a long time, and it's time to ignite it.
Ding Wei smokes not to look cool, but because he can't light it directly with gasoline.
The cigarette butt was rolling in mid-air, and before it could fall onto the gasoline at his feet, a ball of flames instantly ignited and swallowed the cigarette butt whole.
Immediately.
A string of flames followed the gasoline on the ground and quickly flew towards the train car in front.
After a few seconds.
A ball of flames soared into the sky and enveloped the train. Soon there were several violent explosions and the entire train carriage was instantly covered in flames.
See this scene.
Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu suddenly felt distressed on their faces. The more they looked at it, the sadder they became. In the end, they simply didn't bother to look at it anymore and drove away directly.
…
Zhaojiapo position.
The platoon leader who had been blocking the enemy for two hours also used the darkness as a cover to decisively lead his troops to leave here.
Before leaving, they followed the training manual and set up several booby traps along the road to block the enemy's pursuit.
at this time.
The enemies at the bottom of the slope were still planning how to attack Zhaojiapo later, unaware that the troops blocking them had already withdrawn.
Almost a large group of Japanese soldiers were blocked at the top of Zhaojiapo hill.
The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain glanced at the hilltop in front of them with lingering fear.
It was this small broken hill that blocked them for more than two hours, preventing them from moving even half a step forward.
"You are the warriors of the Empire!"
"Warriors, you are the bravest warriors in the empire!"
"Warriors, fight for His Majesty the Emperor! And fight for the Japanese Empire!"
…
Their captain had been killed in an attack long ago, and only some squadron leaders and squad leaders were left, each boosting the morale of his own troops.
Under the encouragement of the Japanese officers, the eyes of these Japanese soldiers gradually regained some vitality.
"Come on! Warriors of the empire!" Several Japanese officers shouted in unison.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Zhaojiapo like mad dogs out of their cages.
When they rushed towards Zhaojiapo in one breath, they could not see the Zhaojiapo defenders at all.
This made the Japanese soldiers who were ready for a decisive battle scream loudly.
"Cowards! These cowards!"
"Damn the Chinese, they are so cunning!"
"Baga! Baga!"
The little devils were all furious and impotent on Zhaojiapo.
"There are footprints here, chase them! Catch them quickly!" One of the Japanese officers looked at the footprints deliberately left by the platoon leader and immediately pulled out his command knife.
But when they ran past the footprints, they were greeted by booby traps left by the platoon leader.
There were several loud bangs, and a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown away.
This time.
The Japanese soldiers no longer dared to continue the pursuit, for fear that there would be some booby traps ahead.
…
Ding Weizheng was walking on the mountain road with his troops.
suddenly.
A scout ran over and reported: "Captain, there's something going on!"
"Huh?" Ding Wei frowned slightly.
Under the leadership of the scouts, Ding Wei came to a commanding height. Looking at the vast Jizhong Plain, Ding Wei felt filled with emotion.
