Chapter 507: Coercion
The Xu family's compound was temporarily selected by the devils to become a warehouse for storing ammunition materials, and for the safety of ammunition, the nearby residents had already been evacuated and cleaned up, which saved Yang Ling and them a lot of trouble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhuqi Heigu was divided into two groups with the remaining more than thirty devils, holding the front yard and the back yard respectively, and in the face of Yang Ling, who lacked heavy weapons, the defense line was also impregnable.
But Yang Ling will not give the little devil a chance to breathe, the purpose of his visit to Ruichang this time is to eliminate the devil's ammunition and material warehouse, and cut off the logistics supply of the devil at the front of Minshan.
Although Zhuqi Heigu relied on the fierce firepower of the courtyard to suppress the attacking troops and couldn't raise their heads, since Yang Ling came, he didn't plan to go back empty-handed.
Although Ruichang is the county seat, the fuel used by residents for cooking is still traditional firewood, and there are a lot of piles in each courtyard.
So Wang Huzi and the others quickly got a large bundle of firewood back, and at the same time brought back gasoline from the fuel tank of the tricycle next to the seized devil.
"Deputy regiment, where do you start burning?" Wang Huzi looked at the wall of the Xu family's courtyard, which was full of holes, and asked Yang Ling for instructions.
Yang Ling's hand pointed to the houses on both sides of the Xu family's compound: "Start lighting the fire from the houses on both sides, pile up a little more firewood, let's burn the devil today." ”
Wang Huzi looked at the devil soldiers who were shooting outside along the shooting hole from time to time, and said with a cruel smile: "Order!" ”
The Xu family compound is not a single courtyard, but is connected with many residents' houses, as long as the houses on both sides are burned, the Xu family compound will also be affected and burned.
The ghost soldiers cowering in the courtyard seem to be safe and secure now, but once this fire burns, this small courtyard will be their nightmare, and even if they don't burn to death, they will be smoked to death.
Wang Huzi and they moved bundles of firewood into the house in the adjacent Xu family's compound and piled them up, and soon stacked them on top of each other.
Several devil soldiers who were in charge of guarding the courtyard walls on both wings also heard the movement behind the wall, but they did not dare to climb the ladder and raise their heads, and the machine guns on the roofs of the high houses stared at them.
A few brothers were excitedly carrying firewood to the bottom of the courtyard wall, when they suddenly heard the sound of gurgling and rolling behind them, and turned their heads to see that several black grenades were bouncing and landing on the rubble.
"Fuck, it's a thunderbolt over the wall, lie down!"
A veteran squad leader saw the black grenade rolling to his feet, and the soul of the dead was rising, so he picked up the grenade and threw it back.
Several brothers holding firewood also reacted quickly, and they all threw themselves to the ground in the opposite direction.
"Boom!"
In the deafening tremors, the scorching waves of air carried an overwhelming amount of bricks and rubble to bury the brothers in a cloud of dust.
The grenade that was picked up and thrown back by the veteran squad leader also exploded at the head of the wall, and the two layers of masonry at the head of the wall were cut off by the explosion, and the broken bricks and mud and dust were scattered everywhere, so that several devils behind the wall also dodged in panic.
When a platoon commander heard a sudden explosion in the courtyard, he rushed into the smoky courtyard with several brothers armed with guns, shouting, "What's going on?!" ”
The veteran squad leader shook his head, a large piece of floating earth fell, and he coughed and cursed in the smoke: "Damn, the little devil threw a few thunders over, and almost went to see Lord Yama." ”
The platoon commander saw that the veteran squad leader was fine, and hurriedly waved his hand to the brothers behind him to dig out the other brothers from the shattered rubble.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly, except for one who was stunned and hit by a blood groove, although the others were covered with dust, they were all safe and sound.
"Don't rub it off, hurry up and light a fire and burn the dog." The platoon commander saw that the brothers were okay and ordered a fire.
The veteran squad leader took out the matchbox from his arms, slashed it fiercely, and the flames rose as soon as they flickered, and then threw them at the firewood viciously.
In order to support the combustion, gasoline was poured on the firewood, and when it met a spark, it ignited, and the flames of the height of the fire burst to the ground, and the blazing flames made the brothers unable to help but retreat.
"Don't look at it, let him burn it himself."
The platoon commander took the brothers out of the courtyard, but there were devil arms next door, and they didn't want to bury the devils.
The flames spread quickly along the firewood, and the beeping sound made the devils hiding behind the wall full of doubts, and they couldn't help but throw a few more grenades at the back of the wall.
The grenade rumbled and exploded, shaking the roof tiles and falling, and the dust stirred like a waterfall, but the beeping sound of burning did not subside, but became clearer.
Until the flames spread and expanded, jumping up to the wall along the root of the wall, in the firelight, the tired faces of several devils also became clear.
"The people in China are lighting the fire!"
The situation was quickly reported to the squadron leader Takeki Kuroya, who was holding a telegram from the brigade commander Maruyama Masao, who was full of ambition that as long as he held Ruichang and held the arsenal, he would be the hero of the 6th Brigade.
"What fire?" Takeki Kuroya didn't react for a while, raised his head and asked suspiciously.
The second lieutenant of the devil was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and pointed out anxiously and said, "The people of China have set fire to the houses on both sides, and the fire is spreading towards us!" ”
"Nani?!" When Takeki Kuroya heard this, the smile on his face swept away, and he ran out of the house in three steps and two steps, looking up just in time to see the flames scurrying around the walls and the billowing smoke that obscured the sky.
"Despicable China!" Looking at the fire that burned over, Takeki Kuroya's eyes were full of anger, and he yelled at the devil soldiers in the courtyard: "Quickly put out the fire!" ”
Takeki Kuroya knew very well that once the fire spread and there was no need for the Chinese army to attack, the ammunition stored behind them would be enough to blow them to ashes.
The devils in the courtyard also realized the seriousness of the problem, and even those wounded soldiers took action, rushing to the water tank one after another, scooping water with wooden basins to extinguish the fire, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
However, their efforts did not extinguish the fire that had spread, but it grew bigger and bigger, crawling all over the courtyard walls on both sides, and began to burn towards the beams of the house, and the devils were flushed with red faces by the scorching waves.
Yang Ling and the others hid in the distance all day watching the boiling fire burn, and the houses on both sides continued to collapse in the raging fire, and even the air was burning hot.
"There's a little devil who can't stand it now, and he wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, no way." The king's beard wiped the sweat from the roast and laughed as he looked at the courtyard with black smoke.
The heat wave on his face made the heart of the devil squadron leader Takeki Kuroya sink to a low point, looking at the flames that couldn't stop the swaying, he really wanted to strangle the person who set the fire.
But now, for the sake of the ammunition depot behind them, and for them to stay alive until the arrival of reinforcements, he had to order someone to push Meng Fangang, the commander of the security battalion, to the wall.
Zhang Heizi and the others who survived the security camp were busy assisting Yang Ling and them in setting fire to the devils, when they suddenly saw Meng Fangang who was pushed to the wall, and they were dumbfounded.
"It's big brother!"
"On the wall is our battalion commander!"
Meng Fangang, a burly and resolute man, faced the temptation of the devil to fight with a hunger strike, and he looked haggard and tired after two days without eating or drinking.
At this moment, the devil was pushed to the wall by the arm with a bayonet, and the soldiers of the security camp stopped and continued to carry firewood, shouting towards the wall.
"Listen to the people outside, quickly surrender and extinguish the fire, otherwise your battalion commander Meng Fangang's life will not be guaranteed!" Maintenance President Zhou Fulu poked out half of his head from behind the wall and shouted loudly outside.
At this moment, Zhuqi Heigu, who was huddled in the courtyard, thought that the mutiny of the security camp and Yang Ling's sudden attack were colluded by them in advance, so Meng Fan was just blackmailed.
But as everyone knows, Yang Ling and the security camp actually have nothing to do with each other, everything is just a coincidence, and now fighting them together is just to deal with a common enemy.
"Heavy knock me out!"
Wang Huzi didn't know any Meng Fangang at all, where did he care about his life or death, it was important to kill the devil, and raised his head and shouted at the machine gun team on the roof.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, that's our battalion commander on the wall!" When Zhang Heizi saw that the machine gunner was about to shoot, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly shouted.
