Chapter 0284 The beacon fires are in the sky, saving Changshu!
"What a kid's plane."
Chen Yong had not seen it before, but Duanwu said it was in the southeast direction, so he paid attention. Looking with a telescope, three Japanese flying squadrons were forming a battle formation and flying towards Changshu.
Don't think about it, the little devil is here to take revenge.
The city of Changshu was unprepared, and Chen Yong was really worried that if the little Japanese exploded, the city of Changshu would suffer heavy losses.
He looked at Dragon Boat Festival, but Dragon Boat Festival was feeling the southeast wind blowing slowly.
This is a coastal climate. Even in winter, there will be southeasterly winds blowing inland from the coast. Rainfall will occur when encountering cold air. Let’s not mention this for now. However, this southeasterly wind inspired the Dragon Boat Festival.
Looking around during the Dragon Boat Festival, a field of harvested wheat caught his eye.
Riding on horseback at Dragon Boat Festival...
"Tuanzu, what are you going to do? Changshu is over here!"
The knife called out to Dragon Boat Festival, but Dragon Boat Festival had already run away more than thirty meters.
"Come with me, I will take you to play the wonderful things that you wanted to play but didn't dare to play when you were young."
The words of Dragon Boat Festival came from far away, and Daozi's heart became alive. He had liked the sister next door when he was a child. But how could he have the courage?
"Hey, here it comes!"
Daozi thought of something good and rode after him. But the result was completely different from what he thought. The Dragon Boat Festival was about lighting haystacks. Indeed, when he was young, no one dared to do it, otherwise he would be hung up and beaten by his family.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Daozi, Chen Yong and others took matches and lit the haystacks in the wheat field one by one. The thick smoke followed the southeast wind and headed straight for Changshu.
Chen Yong said smartly: "Special Commissioner? Are you setting off a beacon to warn the brothers in Changshu?"
Duanwu chuckled lightly and said, "No, it would be too late. This is what I call the sky full of flames."
Before the words of the Dragon Boat Festival were finished, the thick smoke had already formed into one sheet, covering the sky and the sun.
Just imagine, hundreds of haystacks were all set on fire by Duanwu and others. The spectacular scene was simply beyond imagination.
The thick smoke is like a blue dragon rolling head-to-head, rushing into the sky.
The blue dragons entangled together in mid-air, and then headed northwest toward Changshu like rolling clouds.
The pilot of the Little Devil noticed this, and the captain said angrily: "Baga, whoever is burning the haystacks at this time, let's hurry up, otherwise this thick smoke will enter Changshu City, and we won't be able to see anything."
."
"Hi!"
The little Japanese pilots all responded, and the planes rushed towards Changshu from ten kilometers away.
It's just that although the kid's plane is fast, it's not as fast as the southeast wind.
The thick smoke was brought into the city, as if the ancient southeastern town was covered with a light veil.
The soldiers at the city gate smelled the thick smoke, and some began to curse, saying: Who is such a bastard, burning the wasteland?
"Wait, listen!"
Another soldier heard a buzzing sound.
"It's the sound of a Japanese plane. Hurry, go and report to the commander."
The soldier who had scolded his mother before shouted loudly. But at this time, Xie Jinyuan, Sun Boan and others who were waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival at the city gate had already heard the sound of the Japanese plane.
Ignoring others for the time being, Xie Jinyuan and Sun Boan must take care of their own people first.
At this time, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 79th Brigade returned to the city and were happily preparing for a celebration banquet!
"Boan, hurry up, tell your people to get into the air-raid shelter. You have to be fast, otherwise it will be too late."
"Hey, hey!"
After listening to Xie Jinyuan's words, Sun Bo'an left with his guards to evacuate his brothers.
As I said before, although this Sun Boan is a mess, he treats his brothers well.
So when he heard that the Japanese plane was coming, Sun Boan and his men ran away.
Xie Jinyuan also started running. On the way, he met people from the 44th Division and ordered: "Quickly go to your Staff Officer Xiao and tell them that the Japs plane is coming. Immediately inform everyone to hide if they can, but not if they can't.
We also need to find a relatively safe place. The little devil came here with bad intentions this time, and I'm afraid he's here for revenge."
"yes!"
The soldiers of the 44th Division responded, and the patrol dispersed to find Staff Officer Xiao.
Staff Officer Xiao is visiting the injured soldiers in the field hospital. Due to the shortage of manpower in the field hospital, many wounded soldiers cannot receive treatment, which seems a bit chaotic. Staff Officer Xiao comforts and maintains order at the same time.
So when the patrol found Officer Xiao, the Japs' plane was already approaching.
Staff Officer Xiao passed the order and asked all the ministries to hide quickly. But in the panic, the soldiers did not know how to hide. Especially the field hospital. At this time, the yard was full of white cloth, white bandages, etc., which was very eye-catching.
Staff Officer Xiao was having a headache, and he didn't expect the smoke and dust to float over the sky, shrouding the entire city of Changshu in thick smoke.
Staff Officer Xiao was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, great, who is burning the wasteland? Hahaha! God will not destroy our 44th Division, hahaha! Hahaha!"
Hearty laughter echoed in the sky above Changshu City for a long time. But at the same time, three squadrons of the Little Japanese arrived.
They hovered over Changshu City, going around and around, but they didn't drop a bomb for a long time.
There was thick smoke near Changshu City. They couldn't find their target at all.
One of the Japanese pilots asked: "Sir, we can only see the city wall of Changshu and a few larger houses, but we can't see the rest clearly at all?"
"Baga! It's still a step too late."
The captain of the Japanese Flying Group was very angry because when he saw the thick smoke, he flew the plane and came as fast as possible. But he was still a step late. The thick smoke had enveloped the entire Changshu area. From a high altitude, the city of Changshu looked like
It's like being shrouded in a fairy mist.
Moreover, looking at the intensity of the smoke, it would not dissipate within two hours.
Are you asking him to keep hovering in mid-air? That's a joke. How can he have so much oil hovering in mid-air, and he still wants to fly back?
In desperation, the captain of the Japanese flight team could only order: "Search for the target each..."
A Japanese soldier interrupted: "Sir, we can't find the target."
"Baga! You are blind, do you have to let me explain it so clearly? Go quickly, the bombing is over, we will fly back."
The captain of the Japanese flight team was very angry. He called his subordinates pigs and did not understand his spirit at all.
With such huge smoke, what should he do? What can he do? He can only pretend that it is an important target of the Chinese army.
So the nine planes spread out and bombed their imaginary targets indiscriminately.
But this had no effect at all. Officer Xiao was not a fool. When he noticed the smoke, he told his soldiers separately to stay away from those tall buildings. Or he deliberately created something that could be seen by the Japanese.
Target.
For example, flares or fireworks can attract the attention of the enemy, allowing the enemy's aircraft to drop bombs at uninhabited locations.
The Japanese were very obedient and accepted the guidance of the Chinese soldiers because they had received news that there were spies from the Imperial Army in Changshu City.
They mistakenly thought that these spies were guiding them, and they felt very excited. They dropped a large number of bombs into uninhabited areas, and then returned happily.
Colonel Yamamoto stood in an empty courtyard and stamped his feet. He pointed to the sky and cursed in Japanese: "They are all a bunch of stupid pigs. These are Chinese strategies. Why can't you see it? It's a waste of the empire."
bomb."
But Colonel Yamamoto scolded him, but he did not dare to go out and cause trouble. Because in addition to the patrol team of the 44th Division, which had been looking for him, the police from the police station were also looking for him everywhere.
He had several encounters with patrols and people from the police station, and the bullets in his pistol had long been exhausted. He was also injured. His left calf was grazed by a bullet, and his right arm was directly hit by a pistol bullet.
The bullet was still in his arm, and there was no way he could take it out by himself.
He now only hopes that the Japanese troops outside the city can quickly break into Changshu City, otherwise he doesn't know how long he can hold on.
Colonel Yamamoto seemed a little depressed at this time. Because in such a situation of being isolated, helpless and seriously injured, his self-esteem and pride had long since disappeared.
The pain left him with no strength to move. He even thought about surrendering so that he could be healed.
However, reason still defeated the cowardice in his heart, causing the old devil to hide in a woodshed and huddle up.
At this time, he was in pain, cold, and hungry. But he did not dare to leave the house. Because the air raid had just ended, the patrol team and the police had already taken to the streets.
He heard the police outside the courtyard wall yelling: He is the only little devil left, how can he still run away?
Another said: "I heard from the brothers in the second team that the old devil was injured. I'm afraid if we don't catch him, he won't live long."
"That's what my brother said, but the requirement from above is that you must see the person alive and the body after death."
"Yes, yes, our County Magistrate Ma also suffered a lot of bleeding this time. There is a reward of fifty yuan. If you catch him alive, you can get another fifty yuan."
"My dear, one hundred yuan. With this money, we can all go to Nanjing."
"Hahaha, that's right, what kind of old devil is this? Is this special grandma's money jar that can run away?"
"Let's go, let's not delay. If someone takes it away later, our brothers' work will be in vain."
"Yes, yes! We can't let that old devil die, otherwise we will lose fifty yuan."
"Old devil, come out quickly! We will treat the prisoners very favorably!..."
···············
Colonel Yamamoto had listened to what the police officers said. He was so disgusted that he had ended up in this situation. He had become a running money jar.
But at this moment, his money jar was empty and he was about to starve to death.
Colonel Yamamoto covered his stomach with one hand and pressed his wound with the other. Perhaps only in this way could he persist.
However, at this time, he put aside Yamamoto's hidden activities and just wanted to survive, but said that the Dragon Boat Festival had already entered the city at this time.
At this time, although the city was slightly chaotic due to the bombing by Japanese aircraft, most of the officers were waiting at the gate of the city for the return of Dragon Boat Festival and Chen Yong.
"Third brother, you are back, but you are worried about me."
Sun Bo'an was the first to step forward, grinning silly at the Dragon Boat Festival. He scratched his bald head, nodded and bowed.
Sun Bo'an's joy was beyond words. Since the death of his brother-in-law, Dragon Boat Festival has become his supporter. Sun Bo'an has no brains. Even if he brings a few brothers to hang out on the street, he will not survive.
Because his intelligence is not good, he can fight bravely with others, but once the other party uses tricks, he cannot cope with it.
Therefore, Sun Bo'an could only live by relying on others. His brother-in-law was Liu Peixu, who was treacherous, good at planning and judging the situation. Although Sun Bo'an might not be able to get rich by following him, eating and drinking would not be a problem.
But once Liu Peixu died, Sun Bo'an seemed to have lost his backbone. He instinctively found the Dragon Boat Festival.
It can also be said that he admires the Dragon Boat Festival! Otherwise, Sun Boan is such a bastard, and ordinary people would really not accept it.
Duanwu naturally knew that this boy's happiness was not fake. You couldn't fake the joyful expressions of family members when their loved ones came back from the battlefield.
What's more, Sun Bo'an is not good at pretending. All his emotional changes are written on his big face.
Duanwu patted Sun Boan on the shoulder and said: Good brother.
At this time, a word of brother is worth a thousand words, and Sun Bo'an was even more happy, as if he suddenly opened up the conversation box.
He talked and gestured with Duanwu, and said: Third brother, that was a danger just now. I just arranged for the brothers to return to the city gate to pick you up, and a thick bomb fell next to me.
"··············"
Duanwu was speechless and thought to himself: Is that what you said as a human being? A thick bomb fell next to you, how can you still speak plainly in front of me?
But I didn't expect that Sun Bo'an would have something to say. He chuckled and said: "Third brother, that little devil's bomb is unreliable. He fell from such a height and didn't explode, hahaha! Brother, do you think I am lucky?
"
"Hehe, hehe! Fate is great, fate is great!"
Dragon Boat Festival laughed twice with a smile on its face.
He really didn't expect that Sun Bo'an would be able to shake off a burden.
However, it is normal for the Little Devil's aerial bombs not to explode. Many of the Little Devil's weapons and equipment are actually terrible.
The Southern Type 14 pistol, crooked light machine gun, and his Bean Tank, etc. are not very good.
The same goes for the Japs' aerial bombs. The chance of a dud is very high. So it is not unusual for the bomb to fall but not explode.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan also echoed: "Master, Brother Bo'an is right, it was really dangerous just now. If it hadn't been for the sudden burst of smoke blown by the wind, Changshu would have suffered heavy losses this time.
"
"Regiment deputy, that was the fire set by the regiment! Hahaha, we burned hundreds of haystacks."
Daozi couldn't help it and directly interjected. At this moment, Xie Jinyuan, Sun Bo'an, Xiao Staff and others were all shocked.
Because they originally thought that it was someone who burned the wasteland and caused the smoke to spread to Changshu City.
But unexpectedly, this turned out to be the masterpiece of that special commissioner!...
