The devils roared everywhere, and seven more of them died. They even suspected that there were still many enemies hiding in the city. Otherwise, why would a patrol team of soldiers be slaughtered on a street full of imperial soldiers without even a chance to resist?
?
So a new round of manhunts was staged again, and almost all the Japs in the city were mobilized. And in order to make up for the lack of troops, the Fujiyama Japs actually transferred back most of the Japs guarding the South City Gate, and carried out raids on all areas.
Conduct a blanket search.
But nothing was found, their enemies just disappeared from the world after killing people.
Tengshan was very angry. In addition to cursing that his men were all losers, he actually came up with an evil idea, which was to burn down all the buildings except Yunlai Inn, Ma's house, the ancestral hall and so on.
Drop it, which will not only light up the entire town, but also make their enemies have no way to escape.
The soldiers standing on the city wall can use the firelight to see the whole town clearly.
So this time Fujiyama was sure that the Chinese special forces, including Dragon Boat Festival, were dead.
The fire soon broke out, and Tengshan stood on the street in front of Yunlai Inn, admiring his masterpiece and feeling very proud.
But in his eyes, it was a masterpiece, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, it was pain and despair.
These houses are the life-long efforts of the people living in Shamadian. All the efforts of one or several generations of them have been here. However, they were burned down by the devils, and the crazy devils looked at them as if they were admiring a bonfire.
Standing on the street laughing.
Their smiles were so crazy and unscrupulous. If the devils didn't have machine guns and cannons, the common people would definitely kill these bastards with shovels and pickaxes.
After laughing for a moment, the Japanese stopped laughing. They set the house on fire, and the Yunlai Inn and Ma Family Ancestral Hall were located in the center of Shamadian.
Fires were lit everywhere, and not only did thick smoke drift away, but the fire also began to spread to their location.
The Fujiyama Japs suddenly panicked. In the past, they would set fires and leave without thinking that the smoke and fire would come over.
Tengshan was choked and coughed, and quickly ordered the Japanese to put out the fire.
But this time it was good, the little devils finally had work to do. They were carrying buckets and washbasins to look for water sources to put out the fire. Otherwise, if the fire spread completely, they would all become roast pigs.
This time, the little devil suffered the consequences. He set fire to the Chinese special forces, but he didn't want to almost burn himself.
But even so, during the process of putting out the fire, more than thirty Japanese were choked and 17 or 18 were injured.
Even Fujiyama was so disgraced that he almost didn't receive the lunch box directly.
He yelled that his men were all a bunch of bastards and asked you to set fire to the Chinese people, but it ended up burning his head.
But the little devil was also wronged. Grandma, it was you who gave the order to set the fire.
But no one dared to say it, and they had to agree happily when they were scolded. It was really frustrating and angry, but there was nothing they could do.
At this time, the little devil was busy putting out the fire, while Duanwu was hiding in the cave and continued to study his killing skills.
When he just used the sword to kill the Japanese, he had a new understanding. He felt that the angle of the sword was not ideal, so he revised his move while his memory was still fresh.
Originally, after Duanwu practiced swordsmanship for half an hour, he was ready to go out of the tunnel to kill the Japs, but unexpectedly the Japs set the fire on fire.
Of course, Jizo's house was not immune. There was a fire on top and thick smoke billowing from inside.
Duanwu originally planned to go out and take a look, but at this moment, the voices of the little devils came. They poured water on the burning house and called their superiors pigs. They asked them to set fire and now they had to take risks to put out the fire.
Only then did Duan Wu realize what was going on. The Japanese set fire to the house because they couldn't find him. As a result, he was surrounded by fire without leaving any way out for him.
Fortunately, there were many wells in the village, otherwise hundreds of Japanese would have been burned alive by him.
Seeing this, Duanwu sneered at the little devil who would suffer the consequences. And he was not in a hurry to go out. The fire would not be extinguished in a few hours by the little devil.
He retreated to the tunnel to rest, because in two hours, there would be a real battle. At that time, it was the decisive battle, and Dragon Boat Festival had to devote all his energy.
So Dragon Boat Festival closed the lid of the box and hid in the tunnel to sleep. The little devil continued to fetch water and pour water to put out the fire as if he was running for his life.
The fire burned for more than two hours, and even Pang Hu and others could see it clearly even though they were hiding in the woods two miles away from Shamadian.
Pang Hu looked at the fire and was a little worried about Dragon Boat Festival's safety. After all, Dragon Boat Festival was walking alone this time.
At that time, he wanted to follow, but Duanwu asked him to take charge of the overall situation.
And thanks to him following him right away, otherwise Lao Abacus and Ma Zhongyan wouldn't be able to stop these bandits. Ma Zhenshan and others wanted to betray them after escaping from Shamatian.
Although the Dragon Boat Festival was full of hype and the two parties reached a contract, it was only a temporary measure.
Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was not around and no one restrained them, the bandits started to escape again. From the bottom of their hearts, they did not want to fight the Japanese.
What's more, although they withdrew from the city this time, they suffered more than 60 casualties and lost almost a quarter of their troops.
This was far beyond Gu Qiu's expectation. Gu Qiu and Ma Zhenshan said privately that at this rate of casualties, they might not have a few people left after the battle tomorrow morning.
Therefore, it is better to make plans early and retreat to the mountains first, otherwise all of their people will die. Not to mention their success in the future, whether they can gain a foothold in Erlang Mountain is in between.
They are not the only bandits near Erlang Mountain. Yingchoujian's Eagle Claw Grandson and Datou Mountain's Black Tiger have long been eyeing Erlang Mountain.
Because Erlang Shanxi is close to Shamadian, and the plains to the east are all rich and prosperous places. It can be attacked and defended from a distance, and it has the economic lifeline of Shamadian. In the eyes of the bandits, it is a piece of fat, so
Everyone wants to grab this place.
Therefore, there are some things that Gu Qiu has to guard against. Once Erlang Mountain's troops are empty, the bandits from Yingchoujian and Datou Mountain will definitely take advantage of it.
But at this moment, Pang Hu and his men also withdrew from Shama Store and took control of the situation.
Pang Hu is different from Lao Abacus. He is a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles. As for the bandits, if it were not a time of national crisis, he would definitely lead his troops to encircle and suppress the bandits.
Therefore, Pang Hu was not polite at all to Ma Zhenshan and others. Pang Hu said: If the other party goes back on their word, it will be tantamount to treason. Unless the National Government is gone, otherwise if you escape today, I guarantee that you will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of your life.
Gu Qiu, Ma Zhenshan and others had no choice but to believe such harsh words.
So they felt like they had suffered a dumb loss today. Even if they were reluctant in every way, they had to wait here until morning.
At this time, a fire broke out in the city, but Ma Zhenshan's expression gradually showed a smile. Because if Duanwu died in the fire, then they would not have to fight this battle! ...
