419. The devil goes up the mountain

The remaining few devils, even with people and horses, rushed into the river, according to the inside, most of the war horses can swim, and even carry people across the river.

The devil thought the same thing, but now, he made a mistake.

In winter, the water level of the Yangtze River is lowered, especially in this backflow bay area, the water on the riverside is not deep, and there is deep silt underneath.

This company with people and horses, at least four or five hundred catties, rushed into the river at once, naturally fell into the deep mud, unable to move, five devil cavalry, now is called every day, shouting that the ground is not open, and it is difficult to ride a horse in a dilemma.

"Charge!"

As soon as he saw the devil cavalry rushing into the river, Sangou immediately rushed out of the house, and while rushing to the front, he shouted for everyone to follow.

Everyone jumped out of the house and rushed towards the river at a speed of 100 meters, a distance of 300 meters, about a minute, and when everyone rushed to the river, they saw a funny scene.

Two of the five devil cavalrymen were still riding on horses, constantly whipping their horses' buttocks with leather whips and stabbing their horses in the belly with spurs, and the poor war horses were screaming so loudly that they were even bloodied by spurs in the abdomen, and they still couldn't move a few steps.

There were also three horsemen, who had abandoned their horses and gone into the water, but they were also stuck in the shallow mud and could not move, and moved forward with difficulty, and several horses also followed their masters, moving forward behind.

"Hit!"

Sangou was the first to arrive and shot mercilessly, shouting and shooting, as soon as the brothers in the back came up, they were naturally not polite, and a volley of guns went down, and the five devils died in the river on the spot.

At this time, the bloody sunset in the center of the river has all sunk into the river, and the cold wind in winter blows the reeds like snow, raising a snowflake.

At this time, Sangou had no intention of enjoying the scenery, and hurriedly called Da Kui to call the boat that had reached the center of the river, hurry over, and by the way, call a few more boats to come over, look at the appearance of the boat, it is not big.

Then he asked Zhu Mingtai, Yang Chengzu, Peng Changhua and others to clean up the battlefield immediately, and give all the devils who were lying on the ground and hanging on the horses to mend the knives, no matter whether they were dead or alive, it was best to cut off their necks.

Those war horses that are still alive are all killed, most of the war horses are injured if they don't die, they can't use the three dogs, and they can't let the devil pull them back.

Zhu Mingtai They shot the war horse that was still standing, and cut off the horse's neck with a knife at the lying one, die early and be born early, in the next life, don't use it for devils.

Sangou sent a third group of people at the same time, called Wu Dingli, Zhang Zhiguang, Xia Chen, Chen Yanxin, and a few young boys, who immediately ran back and pulled the cart to the dock, food, very important.

……

Early in the morning, next to Liu's house in Baohua Mountain, the captain of the devil, Daisuke Imai, was thundering in the courtyard of the Liu family, looking at his subordinates who were slashed and killed by the people of China last night.

It was a messy and cruel scene, the heads of many devils were cut off, and the blood in one place coagulated into a disgusting purple-black on the ground in the winter morning.

The revenge-minded devil no longer cautiously implements the snail tactics of the battalion step by step, and the devil can't wait to kill the main peak of Baohua Mountain today, step on this mountain, and avenge the dead comrades.

The headquarters of Niu Gu is located near the Baohua Temple on the Baohua Mountain, and the forward position is in the General Cave, and the distance between the two places is very close, only about one kilometer, but the two are separated by a valley with a large slope.

In the mountains, many times it is a dead horse running on the mountain, even if you can see the place in front of you, but if you want to get there, it is not the distance that the eyes can see.

What's more, they have been operating here for many days, and they have invited a large number of locals to dig trenches, traps, obstacles, etc., all of which are cleverly set up in this short distance.

As for the forward position of the General's Cave, multiple trenches and bunkers were also dug, but these bunkers were built civilly, and there was no pouring of steel and cement, so they could not withstand the bombardment of artillery.

But this layer of large logs, a layer of sandbags, plus a layer of wood and sandbags, and the top cover and camouflaged turf, there is no problem against those grenadiers and even mortars.

Intelligence was sent from the front, and the main force of the devils was marching towards Shijiagang from Liujiabian, which was stationed last night, and the goal was very clear, that is, the General Cave.

After a snail-like contest a few days ago, the devil slowly figured out the general terrain and situation of Baohua Mountain, and knew that the main force of the Baohua Mountain Self-Defense Brigade was in the area of Baohua Temple, and if you want to go to Baohua Temple, General Cave is the only way to go.

Now all the mountain people in Baohua Mountain have been mobilized, the village is fortified and clear, no one is left, all have been evacuated to the mountain, and some old, weak, sick and disabled people have also gone to the homes of relatives and friends in other places in advance.

Now the devils are marching all the way along Shijiagang and towards the General Cave, but no matter how arrogant the devils are, they are still afraid, and they sent a few scouts in advance, reconnoitring in front and reporting the truth to the main force in the back, while advancing.

The main force of the second company of Tienon defended the General Cave, and the position of the General Cave had the first three and the last three, and at the front of the front position, it was Zhou Guangcui's platoon.

Zhou Guangcui and the others have figured out the law of the devil scout, as long as there is no problem in front, they will raise the red flag in their hands and wave it twice, and the main force of the devil behind will continue to advance.

If there may be a problem in front for the time being, the devil's scout will raise the yellow flag and wave it twice, and the main force of the devil behind will immediately stop and send out guards everywhere.

If the devil keeps being like this, then Zhou Guangcui and they will hardly get any oil and water, just imagine, once they let the devil's scouts see it, the devil's main force will definitely not advance, even if it is an attack, they must be fully prepared.

At that time, it is estimated that it will not even count as an encounter, but only a conventional offensive and defensive war, and the Chinese army will hardly be able to take advantage of such an offensive and defensive war.

If you want to take advantage, there is only a night attack melee or a surprise attack, the night attack has already been done last night, and now it's daytime, even if it's night, it definitely can't be done, the devil is not so stupid, and he planted his head in a hole in the ground.

Then the ideal thing now is to raid, how to raid? He is a defender, and he can't attack casually, Niu Gu said, now without his order, no one is allowed to attack rashly.

With such a few men and guns, it is almost suicidal to dare to rush at the well-trained and well-equipped devils, and it is better to stay in the trench and be safe until the last resort.

Now the defenders are raiding, and there is only one way, which is to attack them unprepared, first find a way to kill the devil's scout quietly, and then pretend to be a scout to command the devil's main force to advance, so that there is a chance to fight the devil a surprise attack.

As a veteran, he believes in his own judgment and strength, so he asked the deputy platoon commander Zhu Dayong to temporarily control the troops.

I called another veteran, Li Hailong, and each brought a helper to engage in the scouts of the devils. Although Zhu Dayong was a little reluctant, this devil was on the mountain, and the chief officer couldn't leave.

But after Zhu Dayong listened to Zhou Guangcui's thoughts, he was also ready to move, but it was impossible for a platoon to leave both platoon commanders and deputies, so he could only stay behind and temporarily keep an eye on the movements of the main force of the devils.

Zhou Guangcui and Li Hailong took two other veterans with good skills and touched the devil scout together, and those who could be scouts were not ordinary soldiers, they were all experienced veterans.

He also has to know all kinds of techniques such as ranging, signaling, reconnaissance, fighting, etc., and can be regarded as an all-round warrior, so in the face of the all-round warrior of the devil, Zhou Guangcui is very cautious.
