The confrontation between the two sides continued until dawn.
During this period of time, the Japanese never dared to step outside the village. They wandered outside the small village and sent people to test them several times. In the end, they all died violently and no news came back.
This resulted in no deaths, which made the Japanese soldiers even more convinced that ghosts must be at work, so they waited outside the village for the moment of dawn.
Generally speaking, after daylight dawns, especially after the rooster crows, the ghosts will have nowhere to hide and hide themselves. At that time, the Japanese can continue to launch attacks.
From their point of view, the small village had been surrounded, and it was almost impossible for them to escape with ground guns, so these Japanese waited outside with confidence, waiting for the moment of dawn.
Unfortunately, that moment of dawn may not necessarily be a good thing for them.
In the small village, Zheng Xiao and the ground gunners had already come down from the old tree. They saw that the Japanese seemed to be making big moves soon, so there was no need to waste time with the Japanese up there, so they came down to rest for a while.
The two chose a house, then sat down on the stone under the wall. They took off a wine bottle from their waists, unscrewed the lid, raised it and signaled to Zheng Xiao, "Come on, brother, take a drink to relieve your fatigue."
Zheng Xiao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Zu Di Pao could drink by himself. Although he drank more alcohol than Zu Di Pao, he usually didn't like drinking because he felt that drinking would mess up things.
Seeing that Zheng Xiao refused to drink, he sat down and raised the flask by himself, raised his head and took a few big sips, and then sighed with satisfaction. It felt as if the flask was filled with jade liquid and fine wine.
Some people are addicted to drinking alcohol, just like taking drugs. If they don't drink a meal, they will feel uncomfortable. Some people even have a bottle of wine by their side all the time and cannot leave it.
That's what it's like to sit on the ground. This hip flask has been with him for more than ten years and has never left his hand.
Zheng Xiao leaned back. Behind him was the moss-covered rock wall. Leaning on it felt cool, not to mention more comfortable. He straightened his legs, then sighed comfortably and said, "The little devil looks like he won't be able to do it for a while."
Attack, Commander Luo, can you tell us about Huang Dapao?
Sitting Pao also sat down next to him, also leaning his back against the wall. He looked into the distance, feeling a little lost for a moment. \u201pl It seemed that Huang Dapao was from the same hometown as him.
Zheng Xiao didn't say anything, but listened attentively. He knew that Zuodipao was a very emotional person, and Huang Dapao's betrayal made him very sad, but he just didn't say it out loud.
Sitting on the ground, Luo Feng began to introduce Huang Dapao.
Huang Dapao, whose nickname is Huang Ziqiang, was nicknamed Huang Dapao because he was very talkative since he was a child. However, he is a timid person. Although he is a bit stingy, he is still loyal.
When he used ground artillery to kill the rebels in the patrol camp in his hometown, Huang Dapao was the first to follow him up the mountain, and he followed him ever since. He grew from an ordinary villager to a powerful bandit in a famous town, and later became a member of the Northeast Army.
General, responsible for the military supplies of Luo Feng Regiment.
If he hadn't accidentally been exposed to opium, I'm afraid Huang Dapao wouldn't have lost money to the air force, nor would he have taken the risk of selling out the ground cannon out of desperation, and naturally he wouldn't have died.
However, there are not so many ifs in life, so Huang Dapao himself embarked on a dead end with no turning back.
Because I had been friends with Huang Dapao for so many years, I felt a little emotional and sad when Huang Dapao died.
After listening to Si Di Pao's story, Zheng Xiao remained silent because he thought of the blade and the bloody saber under his command.
First of all, the Scarlet Sabers and the Dragon Teeth Special Forces Brigade can be considered comrades in arms, because both sides belong to the same special operations brigade, although they usually have almost no intersection, and even have a somewhat discordant relationship with each other.
Unfortunately, the choices made by both sides made it impossible for each other to become comrades and fight side by side. Blade's ambition was too great. His plans were not just for the three eastern provinces, nor for the whole of China, but for a larger region, so there was an irreconcilable conflict between Zheng Xiao and him.
To achieve his goal, Blade needs to eliminate those who threaten him. Among them are those from the original special operations brigade, Zheng Xiao who poses the greatest threat to him, and the Longya Special Operations Brigade.
From these several confrontations with the Scarlet Saber, it can be seen that there is no possibility of reconciliation between the Scarlet Saber and Dragon Fang, and only one side will be annihilated in the end.
Zheng Xiao didn't want such a situation to occur, but he had no way to refuse or escape, because even if he chose to retreat, the blade would not let him go and would kill him at all costs.
Moreover, Zheng Xiao also has people behind him who need to protect him with all his strength. Whether it is those people in the secret valley or the people under his command, they are all involved in this matter because of his relationship, which may lead to a murderous attack at any time.
disaster.
Zheng Xiao can only continue to rush forward, rushing forward without stopping. Only when he is powerful can he protect the people he wants to protect.
For himself, Zheng Xiao has always known that he is not a sanctimonious gentleman, he is just a person with his own principles of doing things. If his principles are not touched, then everything is fine, but once it is touched, then I am sorry, and he will not hesitate at all.
Softhearted.
The two people sat under the wall, both closed their eyes, each thinking about their own things, but no one fell asleep.
Just like that, it will be dawn soon!
Seeing that the sky in the east had begun to light up, and it seemed that the sun was about to rise from the horizon, Zheng Xiao opened his eyes, stretched, and then stood up. It was dawn and it was time to start work.
Yes, it’s time to start work! Even the cannon stood up from his seat. His eyes were bloodshot. Although he looked a little tired after not resting all night, he was very energetic.
The two people looked at each other and smiled, then walked side by side towards the ancient tree in the center of the village, preparing to command the next battle.
At dawn, the Japanese will attack immediately. By then, I'm afraid a bloody battle will be unavoidable.
On the surface, it seemed that the Japanese had a great advantage. During this waiting time, two more squadrons arrived, which greatly enhanced their strength.
Two squadrons had just arrived. One of them quickly filled up the defense line of the disabled squadron and blocked Zheng Xiaohe's breakout gap with ground artillery. The other one served as a reserve team, waiting on the outside.
