Chapter 333: Discovering the Tunnel
In a few moments, the main hall and the transept began to burn, and the fire spread rapidly.
Seeing this, the little devils hiding in the main hall and the ear rooms on both sides immediately realized the danger, and quickly slammed the doors and windows to try to rush out, but Yao Lei had already concentrated the three machine guns of the 1st Company and blocked the main entrance of the main hall and the ear room, and the remaining rifles blocked the windows of the main hall and the ear room.
The first dozen or so devils who rushed out were quickly knocked down.
Seeing this, the devils hiding in the main hall and the ear room immediately changed their strategy and threw out more than a dozen grenades from inside.
Suddenly, more than a dozen grenades with green smoke rolled to the ground, however, Yao Lei had already learned well, he had already asked the veterans in the courtyard to find a devil corpse as a cover, and they all hid behind the devil's corpse, Yao Lei himself hid behind the big tree in the yard, and the rest of the veterans were guarding the courtyard wall.
The little devil had run out of time before throwing out the grenade, so more than a dozen grenades exploded immediately when they landed, but because the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company had already taken precautions, they were almost unharmed, and only a very unlucky veteran was cut open in the face by the fragments produced by the explosion, and the blood flowed at that time, and then he was dragged down by the hygienist.
After throwing the grenade, the devil immediately launched a second wave of attack, but was pushed back by the 1st company with a machine gun.
As soon as it was delayed, the fire was completely out of control, and the mountain temple was completely engulfed by the fire, and the main hall and the ear rooms on both sides were also completely filled with the smoke produced by the burning, and the 1 company of devils outside could even hear the coughing and wailing of the devils inside, and the dying wails sounded at this time, but it was extraordinarily pleasant.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and even the yard is no longer standing.
Yao Lei waved his hand and led the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company to withdraw from the courtyard and stay around.
When Yao Lei retreated to the outside of the mountain temple with the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company, he found that tongues of fire had already appeared on the top of the mountain temple, and the entire building of the mountain temple had been completely engulfed by the fire.
However, Yao Lei and the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company still underestimated the little devil.
Just when Yao Lei and the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company thought that the devils in the mountain temple would definitely die, the back wall of the mountain temple hall collapsed in a big explosion.
"Donkey's day, call me!" The commander of the 1st platoon, who was responsible for blocking the rear side of the mountain temple, was startled and quickly ordered to shoot.
It's a pity that the machine guns of the 1st platoon were stuck at this time, and the remaining 20 or so 38 big covers were too slow to stop the charge of the devil cavalry, just pay the price of a few horses, and the remaining six or seven ghost cavalry came closer, and then they wielded their sabers and slashed, and several soldiers who were blocked in front immediately fell in a pool of blood, and the blockade line that was originally complete was torn open.
However, the devil cavalry also knew that the general trend had gone, so after breaking through the blockade line, they did not continue to attack, but chose a direction to flee in a hurry, and when Yao Lei heard the movement and led the other two and a half platoons to bypass the temple, the six or seven ghost cavalry had already arrived 100 meters away, Yao Lei hurriedly asked for a three-eight big cover, and finally knocked down one of them.
In less than half an hour, a night raid had ended, and the search team of more than 60 people who came to Xiaolizhuang was either killed or burned to death except for six or seven devil cavalrymen who escaped, but the 1st company also suffered more than a dozen casualties, and the price was really not small, which made Yao Lei very annoyed.
Moreover, the entire mountain temple had been caught in flames, and the devil's weapons and equipment had been reduced to ashes along with the corpses, so there was not much loot to be fished, which made Yao Lei even more irritable.
"Donkey day, withdraw!" Yao Lei spat at the raging fire and ordered a retreat.
In less than a moment, all the officers and men of the 1st Company, along with the wounded, withdrew from the false grave into the tunnel, and when the tombstone was closed, everything was back to the same place, as if the officers and men of the 1st Company had never appeared.
It took another half hour or so for the devil's reinforcements to arrive in a hurry.
Reinforcements arrived with Muto Akira's independent brigade, accompanied by Takeo Yamagami and six cavalrymen.
But unfortunately, when Muto Zhang led more than 700 devils of the independent brigade to the mountain temple, the entire mountain temple had been burned half, but the fire was more fierce than before, and there were almost no people standing within twenty meters.
Needless to say, the more than 50 people of the search team trapped in the mountain temple must have collectively broken their jade, and even the procedure of cremating the corpse was waived, and they directly picked up some ash from it and transported it back to Japan in a box, even if it was an explanation for the relatives of these fallen officers and soldiers.
"Yaga!" Muto's facial muscles twitched twice, and a curse came out from between his teeth.
Turning around, Muto Akira asked Yamagami Takeo again: "Yamagami-san, how many people are in the Shina Army?" ”
Takeo Yamagami thought for a moment and replied uncertainly: "At least one squadron, maybe more?" ”
"Yaga." Muto Zhang was furious, slapped Takeo on the mountain viciously, and scolded, "I don't even know how many troops there are in the army, what are you doing to eat?" Don't forget, you are a search team, your task is to find and bite the Chinese army, and now you have been attacked by the Chinese army, not to mention, you don't even know how many troops the Chinese army has, where they came from, and where they are going, how did you search? ”
"Hello." Takeo on the mountain was beaten, but he didn't dare to resist.
This is the hierarchy, the hierarchy in small Japan is really not ordinary, in front of the peasant-born infantry, a samurai-born cavalry like Yamagami Takeo can be powerful, but in front of a senior officer who is also a samurai, Yamagami Takeo immediately became a gray grandson.
Muto Zhang's saliva sprayed on the face of the mountain warrior, and then said viciously: "Find me immediately, find out the whereabouts of the Chinese army, if you can't find it, you few will cut your stomach to thank the emperor." ”
"Hello." Takeo Yamagami paused heavily, and was about to turn around and leave with a few cavalrymen, but Okahara Toshimi came over with Ito Tamanosuke and shouted to the mountain.
"Xiaoluhara-san, did you find anything?" Akira Muto immediately sprouted hope.
Kokahara Toshisi did not disappoint Muto Akira, nodded and said, "I did find something. ”
Then Okahara Toshisi took Muto Akira to the corpse of the devil sentry, pointed to the wound on the sentinel's right chest and said to Muto Akira: "Muto-san, you see, from the direction where the sentinel fell, there is also the wound on his body, it is basically certain that the Shina Army fired the gun from three to five o'clock. ”
Then, Kokahara Toshisi took Muto Akira to the direction of four o'clock, and with the help of a torch, found a bush with obvious traces of being pressed, and said: "Muto-san, you see, this grass has been pressed by people, and the traces are still fresh, apparently not long ago, there was a hidden branch of the Shina army here. ”
"But what's the use of that?" Muto Zhang frowned and said, "What I need is the whereabouts of the Shina Army." ”
"Muto-san, don't worry, you have to eat the rice in one bite." Kokahara Toshisi smiled slightly, and then took Muto Akira to the fake grave and said, "Just now I followed the traces left by the Shina Army, and when I finally tracked here, I suddenly lost some traces. ”
Muto Akira looked at the grave in front of him and asked, "What do you mean, Kokahara-san?" ”
Kokahara Junsi smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Zhina army that attacked the Eighth Search Team came from this tomb, and after the attack was completed, they also disappeared from here. ”
Listening to Kokahara Toshisi's words, Muto Akira and several devil officers behind him even stood up with hairs on their bodies, and the Chinese army that attacked the Eighth Search Team turned out to be a dead man who crawled out of the grave, Yin soldiers? Is there really a Yin Soldier in this world? Previously, the jade shattering of the Tachibana detachment in Qixing Lake was also done by the Yin soldiers?
The thought of fighting a group of ghosts suddenly made Muto Akira and the other officers feel a chill on the back of their necks.
From the expressions of Wu Tengzhang and several officers, Kokahara Toshisi knew that they wanted to be wrong, but he didn't explain, he just gave Ito Yunosuke a look, Ito Yunosuke nodded slightly, and then moved away with another special soldier, the tombstone of this tomb looked relatively large, but it was not sinking, and it was easy to be moved.
When the tombstone was removed, the black tomb was immediately revealed, but the expected corpse stench was absent.
Ito Tamanosuke took a torch from a special soldier behind him, and then stretched the torch into the tomb, and in the next moment, the flames that were originally facing up immediately tilted to one side and were dragged into the tomb, and there was a whirring sound.
"Muto-san, do you see clearly?" Xiaoluyuan Junsi smiled and said, "The flames were dragged into the depths of the tomb, which shows that this tomb is not a dead hole, but a penetrating hole, this tomb is fake at all, and there is another mystery inside!" ”
"You mean?" Muto Sho suddenly said, "Authentic? The Chinese army dug tunnels under the graves? ”
Xiaoluyuan Junsi shook his head and said: "No, the Chinese army did not dig a tunnel under the grave, but this tomb was simply built by the Chinese army to disguise the entrance to the tunnel!" ”
Muto Akira said: "In other words, the Shina army is hiding in the tunnel? ”
"It's not just the Chinese army." Xiaoluyuan Junsi bowed his head lightly and said, "There are also the people of China, they should all be hiding in the tunnel." ”
"Yagayalu, these damn cunning Chinese rats, no wonder we couldn't find them before, they all hid underground." Muto Zhang cursed, then called Yamagami Takeo to the front and ordered, "Yamagami-san, take your cavalry team and go down to the tunnel to investigate." ”
"Hello." Takeo Yamagami was stunned, but he could only agree to come down, who made Muto Zhang Dazuo, and he was just a military Cao? It is said that the official is one level older than him, not to mention that Muto Akira is six levels older than him?
Takeo on the mountain called his six cavalrymen over and climbed into the tomb tremblingly.
