With a series of explosions of artillery shells, not only shrapnel flew out, but more debris was scattered and scattered. A small fist-sized stone, the size of a washbasin, smashed the enemies in the ravine into scattered flights. After this bombardment, all the rocks protruding from the mountain wall were blown away, creating great difficulties for the enemy climbing the mountain beam.

Whether it is the Kitahara hatchling turtle or Geng Haolong, they think about things too wishfully. The width of the entire ravine, the widest part is only more than 300 meters, and the further upstream you go, the closer it gets. When they climbed the hill, they gave their backs to the opposite mountain beam.

In view of the enemy's possible use of this method, Bai Shujie has already explained: once the enemy attacks the mountain beam, the machine gun on the opposite side will be suppressed. Now that the enemy chose to attack Hao Jicai's position, Xu Sanjiang naturally immediately ordered all the nearby machine guns to shoot at the opposite mountain wall.

The enemy was already climbing the bare mountain wall, but now the dense rain of bullets from behind them strafed over, and more than fifty daredevils suddenly rolled down like dumplings, and finally none of them crossed the halfway up the mountain.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the enemy's breakthrough operations were dealt fatal blows one after another, and the sky was completely dark. Both sides are no longer able to see each other, and they have lost their targets.

There were neither incendiary bombs nor flares. If you shoot indiscriminately, it is Lang Fei ammunition, and it is impossible to kill the enemy at all. In this way, Bai Shujie was in a hurry.

"Arrange the battlefield guard and take turns to eat dry food!"

After Bai Shujie gave the order, he walked back and forth on the hillside. As a result, one accidentally tripped over a pile of dead grass. Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts for many years and is agile, otherwise he would have fallen and his nose and face would be swollen.

When he got up, he grabbed a handful of thatch and let it go. Just this one action, immediately let him stay in place!

The 103rd chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is about Zhuge Liang vs. Sima Yi. It was in late autumn and August, Zhuge Liang's trick to deal with Sima Yi was to "burn the upper valley"! Although God Zuihou helped Sima Yi and let him escape, there was nothing wrong with this strategy itself.

When Bai Shujie thought of this, he immediately thought about it: it is now the early winter, and the mountains are full of thatch, and it is extremely dry, and it will burn when it encounters fire! Zhuge Kongming burned the upper valley, and Lao Tzu burned four ditches today!

"Sanjiang, order the soldiers to hurry up and collect thatch! Cuihua, you hurry back to the opposite side, inform Hao Jicai to organize people to collect thatch, and ask everyone to have five bundles, and the time limit is half an hour to do it! ”

Half an hour later, Bai Shujie gave an order, and Xu Sanjiang's squad took the lead in activating, and more than 100 bundles of thatch were lit and thrown into the ravine. Hao Jicai on the opposite side, Zou Baoyin upstream, and Wei Chong downstream all acted according to the rules. One class is more than 100 bundles, and nearly 500 bundles of thatch are thrown into the ravine and burned, and suddenly the flames are soaring!

Bai Shujie saw that the inside of the ravine was as bright as day, and immediately shouted loudly: "The machine gun began to fire in short bursts to hit the enemies who were scattered and fleeing!" ”

As the battle progressed to about ten o'clock in the evening, the gunfire finally subsided, and all the pine nuts (torches tied with pine nuts and pine branches) that were tied by the squads as required were lit to ensure that all sides of the valley could be seen clearly.

"The Heavy guards the battlefield, while the others clean up the battlefield and search for remnants. Move fast and withdraw from your position after an hour! ”

With Bai Shujie's order, all four directions poured into the valley. You still don't know what the valley looks like after a fire.

Wang Xinlan and Liu Wanruo cleaned up the radio, and Liu Wanruo said: "Captain, I didn't expect your "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to remember very well, and you actually thought of attacking with fire here, which is a little bit of Zhuge Liang's demeanor back then!" ”

Bai Shujie smiled and said, "What, it's like a sister has also watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”

"Where, there was a gentleman who specialized in storytelling in our original inn, and I have heard many times that Sima Yibing was trapped in the upper valley. I heard that the gentleman said that Zhuge Liang's most powerful strategy is to use fire! The first battle he fought out of the mountain was to burn Xinye, and the first battle of his life was to burn the upper valley! Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears! Phew, my sentence doesn't count! ”

Bai Shujie Zhanyan daxiao: "Haha! I didn't expect that the girl was so knowledgeable and superstitious! Zhuge Liang is also a human, not a god, and he has made many mistakes. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is even more inconsistent and cannot be justified. The whole book says that Zhuge Liang knows astronomy and geography. How could it not be calculated that there would be heavy rain on the day of the upper valley? It's clear that this is nonsense. Therefore, it is better to believe in books than to have no books, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me! ”

Liu Cuihua said: "Whatever, anyway, captain, you solved the battle with a fire, this is what I saw with my own eyes!" Zhuge Liang, I don't know, and I haven't seen it. But I heard from you that he didn't burn the enemy, so he failed. In this regard, the captain is more powerful than Zhuge Liang! ”

"Yes, Sister Cuihua is on point, I agree!" Wei Chong climbed up from the ravine and said: "According to preliminary statistics, more than 200 or 300 enemies were killed and burned in this battle, and the specific data is not clear. Strangely, how did five or six hundred people slip out? ”

"That's good!" Bai Shujie shook his head and said: "A big ditch five or six miles long, even fifty or sixty of us can't see it." Just now mentioned "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we should also be like Cao Cao, we can't get Longwangshu! As originally intended, all the dry food will be concentrated in your hands. When everyone is back, put out the torches and set off, I wish you all the best! ”

"Don't worry, we're going to make the enemy tickle!" Wei Chong nodded and said: "This is a big victory, all of them add up to only 11 minor injuries, that is, the ammunition consumption is very high, and I don't know if I can make up for the loss when I collect it later." However, the shells are certainly not enough to make ends meet. ”

"It's nothing, ammunition is for fighting, and keeping it is the biggest failure." Bai Shujie stared at Wei Chong and said, "Are there any injuries in the first class?" If you are injured, you must stay, this operation is not a joke, and it is absolutely not allowed to set off with injuries! ”

"It's okay! There are two boys who have broken their feet, and it will be good to walk a little bit. Wei Chong shook his head and said, "I'm worried about you, right under the nose of the enemy, if you are not careful, there will be a big problem!" ”

"Don't worry, I have already arranged it!" Bai Shujie and Wei Chong hugged each other, and then went their separate ways. The rest of the tactical moves are top secret, there is no need to say more.

At two o'clock in the morning, all the men headed west along the ravine where they had been fought, and no one knew in the darkness when there were 20 fewer men.

When Bai Shujie led the army to Hanjia Village, it was already four o'clock in the morning. He suddenly turned to the southeast and arrived at the main peak of Changling at dawn, and then arranged for everyone to rest.

The guard post is divided into three layers, the farthest one is close to two kilometers, and the nearest one is also released for 500 meters. And it is strictly stipulated that if it is determined that it is a nearby villager or hunter, ask them about the road in Liaoyang.

If you find someone who is probing your brain, you will immediately control it, and then send someone to the west, twenty miles to the west. If you resist by force, you will be secretly executed and then buried deeply!

Bai Shujie is not a pedantic person, and a small mistake is likely to cause an uncontrollable situation. Now is a time when human lives are at stake, and the security of the troops is as great as the sky. Acting in the heart of the enemy, there is no room for mercy, and it cannot withstand the slightest mistake.

In this way, Bai Shujie took everyone for three days and three nights, went out in a big circle for more than 400 miles, and finally returned to the secret camp in the early morning of the fourth day.

Although all the participants tried their best to keep their voices low, they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts. Especially the soldiers of the fourth squad who did not participate in the battle, they pulled the returning warriors to ask non-stop. I asked every detail several times, and I almost asked how many hairs the little devil had!

Bai Shujie did not interfere with the braggadocio between the fighters, and after the last great sacrifice, the morale has been low. This time the battle finally made everyone raise their eyebrows, forget all the unhappiness, and regain the strong self-confidence of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world"!

Speaking of which, a small team of less than 70 people has taken down an enemy ten times their size, and they can't be excited! This cowhide can't be blown up, modesty is false pride!

Besides, on the battlefield, there should be a heroic spirit of "who else should I be" - although Bai Shujie doesn't like others to regard him as a hero, but the army is where heroes are needed!

Especially Liu Wanruo, Liu Cuihua, Wang Xinlan and others, vividly described the wonderful story of how the captain "frowned and calculated, and then burned the devil soldiers", which immediately fascinated everyone.

Xiao Lamei also sent a long telegram to Zhao Jinxi, Gan Tong, and others on the Rehe side about the situation of the two consecutive battles, emphasizing the situation of the enemy's troop movements.

There was no mention of the fact that the troops had suffered heavy casualties, because Bai Shujie's position could not be replaced by anyone. If you make the family worry all day long, you won't be able to do anything. "Report good news but not bad news", this is what I am talking about at this time.

Because there were more than a dozen lightly wounded, the scheduled transfer of Jihua could only be postponed for a few days. The first squad was gone, and the fourth squad, which did not participate in the battle, was sent out to reconnoiter the enemy.

After two days of rest, all the participants had fully recovered their strength, and the captures of this battle were counted in the inventory. 301 guns were recovered, more than the bodies at the scene.

However, no one dared to use these guns, because they were all burned by the fire, and some of the wooden butts were burned off. How good the performance is, no one can guarantee it. After Bai Shujie's inspection, the two mortars can be used in an emergency and cannot be used as conventional equipment.

The most captured was ammunition, and it seems that the enemy used all light equipment in order to facilitate escape, and the complete ammunition boxes were all left. However, Wei Chong's original estimate was correct, the bullets were basically preserved, and the total number of shells carried by the enemy. There are not as many as Bai Shujie and they have fired, and the dozen or so shells left behind are not a big deal at all.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
