A convoy of five Japanese transports was moving on the road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inside the head car were the driver and a squad leader who were transporting arms and ammunition to the front line of the Huai River.
The captain of the Japanese army saw that there was another village in front of him, and he knew this village, because after passing this village, he would immediately arrive at the destination of this trip, the arsenal, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's finally here!
Their convoy of arms came out with eight trucks, but on the way it was attacked by the Chinese, and three trucks had already been beaten into a pile of scrap metal on the way.
The captain of the Japanese squad looked down on those stupid people in his heart, but he had to admit that he was so disturbed by them that he never got tired of it
Because they are in the open and the other side is in the dark, they always appear from all possible or impossible places with more or less people, blowing up a few cars at worst, or putting a cold gun into the cab, so that they are scared and scared.
Just in the moment when the Japanese squad leader was distracted, there was a sudden "squeak", and the driver of the car braked suddenly.
The Japanese squad leader screamed in surprise and raised the Wang Ba box that had been holding it in his hand, and at the same time he saw a war horse screaming from Herod crossing in front of him, and if the driver hadn't reacted fast enough, he would have almost crashed into it.
Immediately after that, a Japanese soldier ran out of the alley with a shouting war horse and chased after the war horse.
The person driving the car was surprised, and a Japanese army commander ran out of the alley, he stood next to the glass of the truck cab, habitually bowed to the Japanese soldiers in the car, and said: "I'm really sorry, the war horse is frightened, delaying your military affairs!" ”
The Japanese squad leader relaxed his nerves, inserted the gun back into the holster, leaned out of the car, waved his hand, and signaled the other party to get out of the way, and their military affairs were urgent.
Because of the short delay of the first car, the four trucks behind him, which were also loaded with munitions, also stopped.
The Japanese commander nodded his head and stepped back.
The vehicles transporting the munitions started in turn and drove forward.
But no one in the convoy noticed that in the darkening twilight, a man got under the chassis of the last truck from behind, and the car was gone, and the man disappeared, and he was like a gecko with his body flat attached to the bottom of the car.
Ten minutes later, the five trucks had stopped in the heavily guarded arsenal yard, and the Japanese soldiers in charge of receiving the arms hurriedly ran forward, and after a few words of conversation between the two sides, the convoy drove directly into the tall arsenal, and the soldiers in charge of loading and unloading began to unload the trucks.
At this moment, I heard a "sizzle" sound from far and near outside the warehouse, and a grenade flying from nowhere hit the courtyard of the arsenal and exploded with a bang.
Although the explosion did not hurt anyone, it immediately caused the sirens to sound loudly in the arsenal, and the vigilant troops outside the arsenal took up their weapons to look for the direction of the incoming grenade and whether there was an attack by the Chinese army.
And the people in the warehouse also hurriedly ran to the door of the warehouse, also preparing for battle. After all, no one could figure out what was going on, how the grenade flew into the arsenal.
"Boom" Another grenade exploded, but this time it landed on a truck parked in the courtyard, and the fuel tank was blown up, igniting a raging fire.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the arsenal courtyard were even more chaotic, and Japanese troops had already fired machine guns in the direction where the grenades were flying.
In the midst of this chaos, a person's head suddenly poked out from under the truck at the end, a young and energetic face, a pair of shining and alert eyes, but it was Huo Xiaoshan!
He glanced around as quickly as he could, then used his hands and feet together like a four-legged lizard burrowing into the grass, and sprang out as fast as he could, dodging behind a bullet stack.
The Japanese commander who received the report determined that this must be a straggler of the Chinese army who had infiltrated his defense area to vent his anger, and the alert unit closest to the firing point had gone to search and arrest him, thus lifting the entire state of readiness of the arsenal.
An hour later, all the munitions and ammunition had been unloaded, five trucks had pulled out, and with the "clang" of the large iron gates, the arsenal fell silent, with only a few electric lights emitting a dim glow.
After a while, Huo Xiaoshan poked his head out of the innermost pile of wooden boxes and looked around, and after he was sure that there were no Japanese troops in the arsenal, he began to rummage through the munitions and ammunition like a hill.
Soon, he found his target and pulled out a coil of white lewskin-thick kraft paper, which was the fuse.
He started chattering before he took the fuse to another pile of munitions.
After a few minutes, he took a hook from his waist, took the hook with three claws in his hand, looked up at the roof, leaned over and threw it upwards with a flick of his waist.
In the sound of "horn click", the hook has been put on the beam, and he pulled the rope of the hook with both hands, and after making sure that the hook has been set up hard, one end of the fuse on his body is in his mouth, and he pulls the rope alternately with both hands, and pulls his body up in the air, relying on his arm strength and good body coordination, to climb to the top of the hook.
When he arrived at the beam, he put the hook around his waist and held the fuse with his mouth, stretched out his arms from side to side, hunched his waist, and walked in the air on the beam less than ten centimeters wide, until he reached the edge of the beam where he could reach the roof tiles of the shed.
At this time, he was not in a hurry, so he rode on the beam of the house, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
He was waiting for Shen Chong and them to reach another designated position to fire a grenade so that they could get out of the chaos.
Because this cannon battle he did this time must be bigger than the one he did on the Great Wall, but he can't throw his small body here.
They found the Japanese army's ammunition car halfway to the Huai River, and with Huo Xiaoshan and Shen Chong's bold character, it would not be them if they didn't make some movement. At first, he planned to fight the military train, and then after calculating, he simply gave it the arsenal.
So, they sneaked up on a group of Japanese soldiers and got two grenadiers, Shen Chong and them pretended to be Japanese soldiers to make the military horses frightened and stop the car, Huo Xiaoshan took the opportunity to get into the arsenal, and Shen Chong and them were responsible for the peripheral response.
Half an hour later, Huo Xiaoshan opened his eyes, reached out and gently pushed the roof tiles on his head, slowly staggered the gaps, carefully removed the four tiles on the purlins, and made a hole enough to drill out by himself.
Huo Xiaoshan did not see the slightest nervousness at this time, but showed a faint smile on his face, he smiled that thanks to the fact that this is the south, there is no need for the roof to be insulated, if it is in the northeast, most of the beams to the middle of the roof can also have an insulation layer commonly known as the ash shed, of course, although it is difficult to help himself, but if you want to get out of the roof, it really takes some trouble.
Huo Xiaoshan took out a box of matches from his pocket and began to wait quietly again.
It was already completely dark, and the searchlights around the Japanese arsenal had begun to rotate and shine, and the lampposts were crossed, and there were no dead ends.
Of course, the searchlights were shining around the arsenal, and the walls of the arsenal were lit with fixed electric lights.
This silence lasted for half an hour, and suddenly there was another "sizzle" of grenades from far and near, and then there was a "boom" and another explosion in the courtyard of the arsenal.
However, this time the grenade flew in the opposite direction from the previous one, and in the sound of the explosion, the day Dengshi, who was guarding the arsenal, became busy again, first the light machine gun of "Da Da Da" sounded in the direction of the incoming bullet, and then the heavy machine gun of "Dong Dong Dong" also rang out.
At the moment when the grenade exploded, Huo Xiaoshan had already struck the match in his hand, lit the fuse, and then left it alone, and climbed the "hole" with both hands and climbed onto the roof.
At this moment, another grenade came, and the explosion just happened to blow off a searchlight.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't even think about running a few steps on the roof, so he jumped down.
After landing, the gravity made him squat on the ground all of a sudden, but he made a ball with his head in his hands, rolled forward like a leather ball, and rolled out.
When he got up again, he had a box cannon in hand, and he shook his hand and shot two electric lights inside the wall.
Only then did the Japanese soldiers in the courtyard discover that someone in the courtyard had opened fire, and just as they were about to react, another grenade fell into the courtyard and exploded, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.
In the smoke and dust, Huo Xiaoshan had already taken three steps and made two steps to rush to the two-person high wall, one foot on the wall, and the height of the hand was already on the wall, one arm struggled, and he pulled up his body to climb the wall, and then jumped on his legs, and he turned over the barbed wire fence on the wall, and the person was already head down into the darkness under the wall, and the half-shuttle Japanese crooked machine gun bullets were all hit at the place where Huo Xiaoshan had just landed, as if he was seeing him off.
More than ten minutes later, an earth-shattering explosion resounded on the west bank of the Huai River, the huge sound could be heard several kilometers away, and a huge pillar of smoke rose into the air at the flash of fire, and finally formed a huge mushroom cloud that lasted for a long time.
In a position on the north bank of the Huai River, a fat man with small eyes and thick lips said to a soldier who looked like a ball: "Bring a few people to pick it up, and Huo Xiaoshan is back." (To be continued.) )
