Commander Ma saw a swarm of Japanese soldiers on the hillside in front of him. There were hundreds of them rushing up. The machine guns at the foot of the mountain still did not stop. While firing non-stop suppressive fire, he suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grenade!"
After hearing the order from the other side, Lao Chu immediately added: "Throw small and low, and calculate the time before throwing!"
The cooperation between these two people is perfect. Lao Ma is decisive and brave in overall planning; Lao Chu is meticulous and keen on details. One dares to lead the soldiers to fight back under machine gun suppression, and the other can think of the details of throwing grenades.
The advantage of using high force to hit low force is to avoid wastage if this thing is too strong and thrown to the Japanese army's fault line.
As long as the two of them live together on the same kang mat, the little devil can't help but feel uncomfortable.
The soldiers took out the grenades one after another, unscrewed the caps and pulled off the fuses, and then Xiaoli threw them down the hillside. The thing did not explode immediately after it landed, but kept rolling along the mountain, even if there were one or two grenades.
It didn't matter if it got stuck at the root of the tree, most of it slipped down through the gaps in the trees.
null!
boom!
bump!!!
Hand grenades exploded in the mountain forest, creating a large crater in the mountain. Countless mud splashed across the sky, completely blocking the view of the Japanese troops going up the mountain.
The grenade stuck at the root of the tree exploded even more fiercely, and the wood holes flew out like bullets. The jungle was suddenly full of hidden weapons. These things were denser than machine guns, plus the shattered stone holes, small stones, and shrapnel
, after a round of explosions, the entire mountain seemed to have been bombarded by artillery, everywhere was dark and full of explosion craters.
That is, there are no standing Japanese troops.
"Ah~"
"My hand!"
"ah!!!"
Painful wails spread throughout the mountains and fields. A large number of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground after being blown away. One of them was thrown onto a tree branch, with his feet nearly half a meter off the ground. His upper body was stuck in the branch and hung high in the sky.
Where the dark smoke rolled, the broken trees were burning. Small flames were jumping at the bottom of the broken trees. The grease on the trees accelerated the burning of the flames. In an instant, a broken tree ignited a raging fire.
.In the firelight, Miki was thoughtful...
It seems that this group of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements are not mountain bandits, but well-trained troops. They know how to hold on to their advantage and how to waste the opponent's ammunition. The most important thing is that this group of people dare to shoot with machine guns.
They launched a desperate counterattack. If the attack continued like this, even if more than a thousand people were filled in like a hole, they still wouldn't be able to take over the mountain.
call.
The mountain wind blew out, and the billowing smoke began to drift upwards along the mountain. The flames burned up the mountain along with the wind. Although the flames of that tree could not cause much fire, it reminded Miki.
"ignition!"
He is going to set the mountain on fire!
After Miki turned around and called some Japanese soldiers and muttered a few words, the Japanese began to disassemble the bullets. They wanted to remove all the gunpowder from the bullets and wrap them in strips of torn clothes to use as fuel. This stuff would stick to the trees in the mountains and forests.
With the help of the wind, the resin on the tree will not be able to extinguish the mountain fire even if it rains heavily.
Miki wanted to burn all anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements alive on the mountain.
"beat!"
In the cave, a big stone was pushed out from the gap in the corner. Lao Xu hid behind the stone and shot hard. At the same time, there were death row prisoners carrying dirt and stones out with their clothes. These were all theirs.
They were dug out with bayonets on the spring field. Now they have been used to build a second line of defense in the cave. Another line of defense can cover the entrance of the cave.
"Sir, what do you think those little devils are doing sneakily squatting there?"
Si Baozi pointed at the corner where Xu Ruifeng could see. When Lao Xu saw the movements of the few little devils, he immediately understood their intentions.
This is a barren mountain. When he was a child, he was beaten up by the headmaster of Tianwang Mountain for using a sickle to burn pine branches on the mountain. At that time, the headmaster said: "You can't drag your own father to be buried with you even if you don't want to die, right?"
When Xu Ruifeng was young, he still felt that he was wronged. Wasn't he just playing with fire? There was no need to beat him so fiercely. When he grew up, he heard people from Beimancheng talk about how a mountain fire burned down a village and not even a dog was left.
When I escaped, I realized that once the fire spread, manpower would be unable to fight it.
"They're going to set the mountain on fire."
A deep voice emerged from Xu Ruifeng's throat. Behind the stones, all the death row prisoners and Lao Xu looked at each other.
They all know what this means. Once something happens to the people on the mountain, let alone being beaten to death, even if they are beaten away, the people in the cave will be isolated and helpless. If this happens again, won't they and
Is it the same as when Xu Ruifeng wanted to let them go when they first entered the mountain, but they were blocked in the car by all the little devils?
After the eyes were separated without any communication, the hands of the death row prisoners worked even harder. Even if occasionally two Japanese took the initiative to fire two shots into the cave, they didn't care. They began to transport stones out one by one, bag after bag.
By transporting soil, the second line of defense was set up almost in the blink of an eye.
"No more digging!" Xu Ruifeng shouted, pointing at the low wall behind him and shouting: "Everyone, crawl over here and move this wall forward!"
At that second, the Japanese seemed to be aware of the crisis, and a Japanese soldier quietly inserted his gun into the scene.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Si Baozi grabbed the grenade on the side, knocked it against the wall and threw it out - Boom!
After another explosion came, no one on death row listened to the wailing outside the cave. Everyone took advantage of the only time to start to speed up crazily.
The entrance to the cave was right in front of him. When Xu Ruifeng was able to catch the huge stone and appeared at the entrance of the cave, observing the fierce battle going on at the foot of the mountain, the turning point had already occurred.
"Set the mountain on fire!"
Miki waved his command sword and shouted in the crowd. Several Japanese soldiers quickly rushed up the mountainside without fear of life and death. They piled gunpowder wrapped in clothes next to the thickest trunk of the tree with the last resin. Then, after lighting the corners of their clothes with flint,
A burning towering tree emitted billowing black smoke, mixed with the crackling sound of burning gunpowder.
"burn!"
"Burn it for me!"
On the front, the thick trees on the left and right sides were all ignited by the Japanese. When the flames passed through the intertwined branches and leaves above the head and extended to another tree, the dripping sparks quickly ignited the second one, and so on.
, and suddenly a blazing fire broke out in the mountain forest.
"We can't let them continue to burn!"
On the top of the mountain, Lao Chu glared and shouted, if the flames were to burn up, I'm afraid these resistance fighters would have to retreat from the side, and the sacrifices they made all night long to fight this battle would be in vain.
As soon as he showed up, a row of machine gun bullets swept up at him. The soldiers beside him rushed to his side and threw Lao Chu down, risking his own life and only escaped the crisis.
"Don't show your head!"
"Tiger!"
Commander Ma watched on the side with his heart trembling. For him, he did not know what kind of victory he would have to pay for the life of his old comrade-in-arms.
Seeing that Commander Ma was not interested, Lao Chu immediately replied: "Little Japanese are burning the mountains!"
"Let them burn. If I, Yang Jingyu, could have been burned to death by the mountain fire, I would have died in Nanman." Commander Ma's attitude didn't sound like he was fighting, but more like chatting with friends at the wine table. His loud voice was obvious.
He looked drunk, but Lao Ma knew in his heart that this fire would not burn him!
What season is this?
Spring is here!
The ice and snow on the mountain have melted and there is nothing left, and a large amount of snow water nourishes the land at all times.
What time is this?
dawn!
At dawn in the early morning, even the branches and leaves of the plants were covered with dew. How could they want to light a mountain fire that could kill more than 200 of them under such circumstances?
How big is your country in Japan? Do you know how to use this tactic of surrounding mountains and setting fires? Do you know when to use it? It must be the dry season in late autumn, when the moisture in the mountains and forests is completely drained, or late spring and early summer.
When the snow has completely melted and been completely absorbed by the earth, there is little rain!
Is this the time to light the fire?
Just light it, let alone using clothes to pack gunpowder. Even if your pants are set on fire, don't even think about burning the mountain.
Sure enough, after a few dry trees burned for a while, they stopped burning toward the mountain. Whenever the flames burned up, there would be a "sizzling" sound after the dew was burned. Who poured water on the red-hot stove?
Seems like.
Bang!
At such an important moment, before Miki could wait for his plan to set the mountain on fire to come to fruition, a series of gunshots came from behind again.
"beat!"
Xu Ruifeng changed his gun and lay down behind the mound of soil at the entrance of the cave and pulled the trigger. A bullet hit the machine gunner not far away. The gunfire that was still covering the mountain with fire turned out to be misfired on one side.
When Miki turned around to look, the person he hated the most was right in front of him!
"fight back!"
Miki dropped the command knife, grabbed the guard's rifle, pulled the bolt toward the hole, and pulled the trigger. The moment the bullet flew out of the muzzle, he seemed to be filled with anger.
In the forest, Commander Ma looked thoughtfully at the people fighting at the foot of the mountain, and muttered: "This guy is a bit interesting."
Shooting to attract the enemy's attention prevents the Japanese from looking at each other. This is the essence of a front-to-back attack. A front-to-back attack is not about wrapping the enemy in the middle and beating them to death. That would lead to a trapped beast fight. A real front-to-back attack is to attract one side to the other.
During the fire, the other side will spank them, and when the enemy is drawn over, a team will spank them. Our army can perform dozens of forms of this tactics. When will it exhaust you Japanese?
Time is the final decisive battle.
The pressure was relieved, and Lao Chu finally felt a lot more relaxed. When he raised his head, Lao Ma had already issued the latest order: "Listen to my order and press to the mountainside!"
That's a distance that the Japs can directly reach with their guns. Wouldn't it be too risky to press down at this time? If the people in the cave can't hold it anymore, the Japs will immediately turn around and fight the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
However, at this time, Lao Chu must carry out Commander Ma's orders, even if he has to die.
