Chapter 608: The Well in Danger

For the drunken thing, Liao Fan really regretted it when he woke up, he never thought that he would send Kang Hailong to the position of mayor so recklessly, and it was an appointment announced on such an important occasion, so that Liao Fan had no room for maneuver at all.

But the matter has been decided, and Liao Fan can't change the order, so he can only take one step at a time.

Lu Liming returned to the station, Huang Changsheng left the headquarters, and only a group of staff officers were left in the headquarters who were busy with their own work. Liao Fan has not yet fully sobered up from his drunken state.

No matter what era it is, it will always be the rich who hold the vast majority of resources, and of course these resources include the invisible and intangible things such as power. This is also the case in Datong City.

Since Kang Hailong is the mayor of Datong, he naturally has a lot of power in some aspects, and it can also be said that except for Liao Fan, there are few people in Datong who have more power than him.

For a person like Kang Hailong, who is not short of money, what he lacks in his hands is power, and in such an era, with power comes money, as long as there is Liao Fan's support, it is not a problem for their Kang family to continue in Datong City for a hundred years.

The news that Kang Hailong became the mayor of Datong spread far and wide, and in one afternoon, the entire citizens of Datong knew that the old man of the Kang family had become the mayor of Datong. Just when Liao Fan was sitting in a daze and sobering up at the headquarters, the gate of the Kang family was already full of people at this time.

Of course, these people came to congratulate Kang Hailong on becoming the mayor of Datong, and then sent the extravagant gifts that they thought were inexpensive in their hands to the people in charge of the Kang family, and then let the people of the Kang family remember themselves, seek an official position in the future, and then rely on the big tree of the Kang family to rise to prominence.

For these gift-givers, of course Kang Hailong did not refuse, he promised to donate 15,000 yuan to the New 33rd Army at the banquet, even if their Kang family is really wealthy, he Kang Hailong can't do it without blinking an eye for so much money.

This money is regarded as Kang Hailong's investment in the New Thirty-third Army, of course, he invested correctly, and the position of this mayor will immediately bring him a return, just like this gift, today's income will definitely not be less than 10,000 oceans.

Moreover, the Kang family also used this opportunity to actively promote their close relationship with Liao Fan, which made the Kang family attract a lot of eyeballs and made many people want to take the fast ship of the Kang family, after all, behind them is Liao Fan's new 33rd Army.

Liao Fan could never have imagined that their soldiers shed blood and sacrificed along the way to recover Datong City, and the local people not only did not welcome them, but the most welcoming was the Kang family in Datong.

If Liao Fan knew the current situation of the Kang family, he would definitely not sleep well this night.

The Kang family marketed itself in this way to make the people of Datong think that their Kang family was second to none in Datong in terms of financial resources and rights, and if they did not look forward to the Kang family in the future, there would definitely be no good fruits to eat.

Of course, the soldiers arranged by Huang Changsheng have already firmly remembered the current situation of the Kang family, and the situation that happened this afternoon has dazzled the soldiers staring at the Kang family, they are all from the mountains, they have never seen this kind of scene, and they can't describe the current situation of the Kang family in words.

As the sky completely darkened, Liao Fan stood at the door of the headquarters and looked at the pitch-black sky, the sky began to fall with sporadic light rain, spring has really arrived.

The eaves in Datong City began to get wet, and the raindrops rolled the dust on the eaves and slowly dripped down, even if it was so late and the weather was bad, the gate of the Kang family was still full of people.

A few ordinary people who passed by in a hurry looked at the two lanterns hanging on the gate of Kang's house, shook their heads helplessly, and then disappeared into the rainy night.

A person has a powerful chicken dog ascends to heaven, China has been like this since ancient times, but when the chicken dog ascends to heaven, someone will inevitably suffer, and even these people who pass by in a hurry know that life is going to be difficult again.

Some people in Datong City like the Kang family because the Kang family can bring them vital benefits, of course, some people don't like the Kang family, because the Kang family can make them bankrupt, I'm afraid they don't even have a place to live in Datong.

After getting Kang Hailong to become the mayor of Datong, some people were ready to leave Datong with their families and go out to avoid the limelight.

Datong is dripping with light rain, and looking at the rain scene under the light is quite poetic. However, Shen Zhengwen was unhappy, and scolded God for not being authentic, because the rain in Hebei was heavier than the rain in Datong, in order to ensure that the weapons and ammunition were not damp, the soldiers gave almost all the tools that could cover the rain to the weapons and ammunition, and they were drenched in the rain.

"Get up, don't sit on the ground, four or five people together, I don't know when the rain will be, if all the clothes are soaked, I will definitely catch a cold!"

Although such a heavy rain provided good cover for the soldiers of the mine protection team, in order not to cause non-combat attrition, Shen Zhengwen decided to find a place that could shelter from the rain a little so that the soldiers could get together to avoid the rain.

Now the reconnaissance of Cangzhou has not yet yielded results, and it is useless for them to rush to Cangzhou now, and now they can only let the soldiers rest.

The heavy rain in Hebei not only made Shen Zhengwen angry, even the little devils were angry, although they now have a place to shelter from the rain, do not have to worry about being wet by the rain, but China's current road conditions, once it rains heavily, their cars and armored units are really not as fast as the Chinese's two-legged guns.

The little devil is also praying that there will be less rain in China, although the spring rain is as expensive as oil for North China, but this spring rain does fall endlessly all night.

In the morning, the sky cleared, after a night of spring rain baptism, the land of Hebei was rarely quiet, the morning after the rain was very quiet and serene, and the rain washed away the blood stains on the ground.

If it weren't for the corpses lying on the ground that hadn't had time to be cleaned up, it would have seemed like there had never been a fight here. Birds frightened by the gunfire of the past few days reappeared in the streets and in the fields, chirping......

However, the land of China is destined to be unpeaceful, standing on the city wall, Ma Wanzhong saw that the little devil was already preparing to attack.

"Boom Boom"

The rumbling of artillery broke the calm of the morning, and the troops of the little devils were ready to attack, and today they swore to the death those wells.

"Da Da Da"

The Jingcheng area was the first to break the beauty of the morning, and the muddy land was once again mixed with blood and minced meat, and the birds that had originally come out to forage were frightened away, leaving only the two sides to fight.

The Japanese only had one way left to attack, so the commander of the little devil had already paid no attention to the casualties, and after the artillery fire stopped, he ordered his troops to start rushing towards the positions of the Chinese troops in a swarm.

The fierce battle unfolded in the humid air, and the warriors dragged their tired bodies to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the little devils. The city wall is the last line of defense of Jing Cheng, and if the little devils break through the city wall, they can only fight in the streets.

The walls of Jingcheng City were blown open by shells, and these gaps were the key targets of the little devils, and they were also the places with the greatest casualties on the entire battlefield.

At the largest gap, Ma Wanzhong had already joined the battle with the last platoon of soldiers in his hands, and he personally commanded the soldiers to fight the little devils.

"Flying Thunder Cannon, use Flying Thunder Cannon to blow up the follow-up troops of the little devils!"

The little devil's troops continued to rush to the gap, and the defense at the gap had begun to be insufficient, Ma Wanzhong ordered to bombard the little devil's follow-up troops with flying thunder cannons to block the little devil's attack.

The loading speed of the flying thunder cannon is too slow, fortunately Ma Wanzhong still has artillery guns and mountain artillery in his hands, although the number that can be used is very small, but it is used alternately with the flying thunder cannon, there is no break at all, and the follow-up troops of the little devil are delayed by the shells.

When the little devil withdrew, Ma Wanzhong looked at the fewer and fewer soldiers around him, if they could hold on to today, they would be lucky enough.

The battle lasted until noon, and they couldn't remember how many times they had repelled the little devils' attacks, and the soldiers lay in the trenches in collapse to regain their strength, and they didn't even want to eat the food brought by the people.

Ma Wanzhong decided to adjust the strategic deployment, and now there are more than 1,000 fighters in Jingcheng City, but the area they defend is too large, if they fight with the little devils, it is estimated that it will be enough to last at least four or five days!

Although Ma Wanzhong did not know what these four or five days could bring them, he was determined not to surrender, and even if he died in battle, he would not lose the honor that a Chinese soldier should have.

"Squad leader, how many people are there under your hands!" Ma Wanzhong walked to the side of the squad leader and asked.

When the squad leader saw Ma Wanzhong coming over, he hurriedly got up, but was stopped by Ma Wanzhong: "Sit down and talk!" ”

"There are eight more people in our class plus me!"

"I'll leave it to you alone, you organize the people to transport the ammunition in our arsenal and the grain in the warehouse to the city, and notify the people to hide all the way!"

Ma Wanzhong must now take into account the loss of the city wall, he must prepare for the loss of the city wall, and now he does not have enough manpower in his hands to make these preparations, so he can only arrange a squad of soldiers to do it.

The first squad leader also realized the spacing of tasks: "Division commander, can you arrange two more people for me?" ”

"Don't bargain with me, Lao Tzu won't arrange manpower for you, but you have to complete everything within the specified time!"

Ma Wanzhong still has extra manpower there, if he has extra manpower, he won't need a squad leader to do these things, and now every soldier knows that the defense line on the city wall is on the verge of collapse, and maybe the next little devil's charge will be able to control the city wall.

The squad leader lowered his head, and then looked at the messy position, and he didn't feel good in his heart. But in the end, he still puffed up his chest, thinking that Ma Wanzhong promised that he would definitely complete the task.
