Chapter 35: Rainy Night Dogfight (3)
A sudden rainstorm greatly slowed down everyone's speed, but it was also because of this heavy rain that Fujiwara Kaede had to temporarily change the route of his advance, and even miscalculated the arrangement of the guerrillas in the village. Combining the qiē factors, Fujiwara Kaede's prediction of the whole battle situation finally made a terrible mistake, he actually miscalculated Junichi Kogi's combat effectiveness, thinking that Junichi Kogi and the six of them had also broken through the north of the village at this moment.
The dense cold rain constantly consumed everyone's body and will, greatly affecting their sight and hearing, coupled with the slippery underfoot, so that Fujiwara Kaede had to change the original plan to meet Junichi Kogi, and instead directly entered the village from the entrance of the village to find the main force of the Shina defenders for a decisive battle. When they stepped through Li Hu's corpse in the muddy water, unaware that there was a small fully armed force hiding in front of them, the distance between the two sides was no more than fifty meters.
"Don't shoot!" Almost at the same time, Tang Cheng and Song Tieshan stopped a fire in time. Tang Cheng and Song Tieshan's eyes collided fiercely, and Song Tieshan's face was constantly trembling because he was too seriously injured and the wound was stained by the rain. Stretching out his hand to wipe the water from his face, Tang Cheng squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "The Japanese army has entered the village, and Li Hu is also dead." The guerrillas beside Song Tieshan clenched the weapons in their hands at the same time, and some people even made a "whoosh" and pulled up the bolt of the weapon.
Glancing at the guerrillas occupying behind Song Tieshan, Tang Cheng stepped forward and squeezed a path between them towards the courtyard. "What are you doing at the door? The Japanese army was not far from us, and if they wanted to enter the village, they would definitely pass through here, half of them would go into this courtyard, and the other half would go to the opposite courtyard, and when they heard me shooting, they would open fire together. "The guerrillas who came out of the courtyard of Gen Song Tieshan are actually only 9 people, and there are only 11 people including Tang Cheng and Song Tieshan, excluding the people who were assigned to serve as sentinels on the outskirts of the village, this is already all the mobile forces that Tang Cheng can mobilize.
"Li Hu is dead" One of the few guerrillas behind Song Tieshan who was pushed away by Tang Cheng muttered in a low voice, and when Tang Cheng turned around, he didn't find out who said that sentence just now. After looking around at these guerrillas who pretended not to know, Tang Cheng, who had already stepped into the courtyard with one foot, sighed secretly, turned around and went to the opposite courtyard alone. The Japanese army has broken through the entrance of the village, and it is not very far from here, if it were not for this dark and rainy night, maybe standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can see the color of the Japanese army's earthy yellow military uniform.
The rain had already wet Tang Cheng's whole body, and the thigh that was hit by Li Hu with a stone just now was already swollen, which would suddenly lose the tension just now, and the swollen place actually hurt. Tang Cheng couldn't help but moan in a low voice and stretched out his hand to rub the swelling on his thigh, he knew what those guerrillas meant just now, it was nothing more than because he heard that Li Hu had died in battle and he had come back alive. At the moment of the great enemy, Tang Cheng had no time to explain anything to those elm heads, but Tang Cheng had already made up his mind to solve these Japanese troops and completely parted ways with the guerrillas.
"Bang!" The courtyard door was slammed open, and Liu Shishi, who was also drenched and frightened, broke into the courtyard, and when he crossed the threshold, he only felt that his feet slipped, and he involuntarily fell to the ground with the most wolf bèi movements. Before the person could get up, he straightened his neck and hissed wildly: "The devil is about to fight, what are you doing there stupidly......" Liu Shishi's hissing stopped abruptly, and under his incredulous gaze, Tang Cheng was standing quietly in the courtyard, listening to the gunfire coming from the north side of the small mountain village, which was getting more and more intense and approaching, with a calm and almost calm attitude.
At the back of the village is Lao Dongbei, one of the people Tang Cheng can trust now, Tang Cheng is trying to distinguish those gunshots, but unfortunately the gunshots are mixed with the sound of explosions, coupled with the increase in rain, Tang Cheng has never been able to judge the battle situation in the north of the village according to the gunshots. Liu Shishi's appearance interrupted Tang Cheng's listening, and Tang Cheng smiled very happily in the face of Liu Shishi's panic. Xu was stimulated by the smile on Tang Cheng's face, Liu Shishi, who fell to the ground, quickly got up, and argued with his neck, "I just slipped and fell under my feet, and I wasn't afraid of the little devil." ”
Knowing that the smile on his face was not appropriate at this time, but he was really not laughing at Liu Shishi's hesitation, since Liu Shishi was pulled into the garrison regiment by Liu Goat in Mengcheng, this guy who was younger than himself had gradually shed his childishness and was slowly growing into a qualified warrior. Seeing that Liu Shishi's face seemed to be a little anxious, Tang Cheng hurriedly explained, "I'm really not laughing at you, I'm thinking, since the ground is so slippery, will those Japanese soldiers outside also fall into the muddy water like you just did." ”
Tang Cheng's worries were obviously unnecessary, although Fujiwara Kaede and the others stepped into the village by stepping on muddy water, they did not stride forward with meteors. Li Hu's resistance had already caused them too much panic, and in the spirit of caution, before exchanging fire with the enemy, Fujiwara Kaede just asked his 20 or so Japanese soldiers to divide into two teams and walk slowly against the wall. Because of this, the scene where Tang Cheng expected the Japanese soldiers to fall into the muddy water did not appear, and at this time, Fujiwara Kaede and the others were less than 30 meters away from the courtyard where Tang Cheng was hiding.
"Smack!" A bullet was fired from the direction of the entrance to the village. Hit the battlements made of blue bricks around Tang Cheng, and it was obvious that the strong enemy was already close at hand. Tang Cheng, who was standing by the wall and went out to check the situation, shrank down, and Liu Shishi, who was holding the ladder, was worried about Tang Cheng on the ladder, and looked back cautiously at the courtyard gate that had been inserted. There are only two people in the empty courtyard, he and Tang Cheng, saying that he is not afraid, that is a lie, although Liu Shishi is also a person who has experienced battles, but he is so close to the devil soldiers, this is the first time for Liu Shishi.
"Stone, are you afraid? Do you regret joining the garrison in the first place? Reaching out to take the kerosene bottle handed by Liu Shishi, Tang Cheng, who was standing on the ladder, suddenly lowered his voice and asked. Liu Shileng, who was asked by Tang Cheng, shook his head fiercely, before entering the garrison regiment, he was just a little beggar in Mengcheng, a little beggar who didn't know his father's name. If it weren't for Godfather Liu Goat to accept him, he might have starved to death in the horns of Mengcheng, Godfather is a soldier, and he must be a soldier if he is given the surname Liu by Godfather, and he can't lose face to Godfather.
"Haha, you're better than me, when I killed the Japanese for the first time to avenge it, I was afraid that I couldn't do it, if I hadn't tied the three Japanese with ropes in advance, maybe I wouldn't have been able to kill them, but they would have killed them. But since then, I have understood a truth, the Japanese are not invincible, as long as you are stronger than him and more ruthless than him, they will be afraid of you. So, you have to remember that when facing the Japanese, you must not be afraid. With the faint light emitted by the lighter, Tang Cheng squinted at the kerosene bottle in his hand, and a ray of crazy and crazy light suddenly rose in his pupils.
The kerosene lighter came from the Japanese officer who was killed by Tang Cheng, and the kerosene in the bottle was found from the villagers' homes, and Tang Cheng knew that there should also be a ready thrower in the courtyard opposite, and he also held a kerosene bottle in his hand. After trying the lighter, Tang Cheng who was standing on the ladder remained silent, Liu Shishi, who had helped him with the ladder, had already gone to the gate of the courtyard, and all the preparations had been made, only Tang Cheng threw the lit kerosene bottle, and Liu Shishi, who was guarding the inside of the courtyard gate, would open the door and shoot at the Japanese soldiers across the wall.
After crossing Li Hu, the Japanese troops who entered the village must not have met resistance, which seemed to Fujiwara Kaede to be a bit abnormal, especially at this time the gunfire in the north of the village had disappeared, which cast a shadow on Fujiwara Kaede's heart. Following the soldiers in front, Fujiwara Kaede leaned his body against the wall as much as he could, and although no one spoke, the sound of military shoes trampling in the muddy water was still clearly visible. The fire reconnaissance was carried out three times, and the bullets hit the green bricks on the wall and splashed sparks, but there was still silence around them, as if there was no one in the village at all.
Tang Cheng, who was half-squatting on the ladder, no longer dared to look out, and the sound of slightly heavy breathing was already within reach, Tang Cheng knew that the Japanese soldiers who entered the village might only be separated by a wall from him. "It's now" took a deep breath and let his trembling hand steady, and the moment he lit the cloth strip at the mouth of the kerosene bottle with a lighter, Liu Shishi, who was guarding the courtyard gate, subconsciously turned around to look at Tang Cheng, and the latter's face was extremely clear reflected by the burning fire of the cloth.
"Nani?" Not only why, the more Fujiwara Kaede moved forward in the rain, the more he leaned his body against the wall on his side, the more intense the uneasiness in his heart became, and he was about to let the soldiers in front of him conduct another fire reconnaissance, when he saw a fire suddenly fly out from behind the wall on his side. With the cracking sound of the bottle, the kerosene bottle that smashed the blue brick turned into an incendiary bomb in an instant, and the kerosene that was splashed turned into flames, and the two Japanese soldiers who were moving forward against the opposite wall were not afraid of being splashed with kerosene, although their military uniforms had already been wet by the rain, but the kerosene that had been ignited still burned sparks on their bodies. "There is an ambush" Fujiwara Kaede wanted to shout loudly when the kerosene exploded, but before he could shout, a fireball also flew out from the opposite yard, and this time the fireball landed where he was standing. At the moment of life and death, Fujiwara Kaede had to avoid the flying fire first, and as the fire exploded on the wall behind him, the light of the fire illuminated a radius of more than ten meters.
