The endless reed swamps seemed to be ambushing thousands of troops. Countless bullets were poured out like a torrential rain, but there was no reaction from the other side.
Ten minutes later, Captain Kono ordered the shooting to stop. He raised his binoculars and carefully observed the situation on the Three Rivers branch. What frightened him was that there were still shadowy figures in the reeds! These figures were blowing in the river wind.
, seems to be constantly shifting its position. It looks extremely strange among the reeds.
As long as the guerrillas hide in the reeds, black guns will be fired from invisible places at any time. Captain Kono and Station Commander Sun Yu have the same phobia. Another round of fire reconnaissance, but there is still no shot back. Even if there is a bullet
Flying from the darkness, Captain Kono will also have a sense of being conquered.
No!
Nothing!
Too many bullets were wasted, and nothing was found. Captain Kono ordered all Sun Yu's men to go ashore and groping deeper into the reed swamp! The information was provided by Sun Yu's secret son Qiao Guangming. This risk will not go on the 76th
Risk, who will go?
Sun Yu didn't dare to say "no" when faced with Kono's order. Similarly, he didn't dare to issue an order to Liu Dacheng who came from his superior.
"Zhang Hu, you bring a small team up first. Let's test it out first."
Of course Sun Yu refused to let Sun Yu's men die. He had to discount Captain Kono's order and ordered a small team to go first. Zhang Hu bravely led a small team, jumped ashore from the motorboat, and then crawled ashore.
Advance. These people were trembling and frightened one by one, and gradually groped forward into the reeds in a fan shape. Zhang Hu was rough, brutal, and relatively courageous. Kono and Sun Yu on the outer river were watching helplessly.
Watching Zhang Hu and others gradually move closer to the center of the Loop, everyone's heart was in their throats.
Zhang Hu finally touched the figure and took a closer look. Haha, it turned out to be a piece of tattered clothes hanging on a reed pole. Looking at other reed poles, there were also tattered clothes hanging on it. Those clothes were blown by the wind, like
The figures were shaking. Many of the clothes had been damaged by bullets, but they were still shaking.
"What a bastard!"
When Zhang Hu saw this, he was both excited and angry. He was excited because he finally discovered the guerrillas' trick, but he was angry because he was frightened by these tattered clothes. He reached out and took off the tattered clothes.
.
At this moment, a rumbling explosion suddenly broke out!
For a moment, there were bursts of wailing sounds from the reeds. Those who were killed on the spot were regarded as dead forever. The most miserable ones were those team members who had their hands or feet broken by the explosion. Miserable cries came from the reeds.
Voice.
After the big explosion, the reed marsh returned to calm. But Captain Kono, who was in charge of the command, could no longer calm down. Over the years, Captain Kono has experienced too many guerrilla tactics and suffered a lot.
The sound of explosions came, and he concluded that there must be guerrillas hiding in the reeds. Now that there was a fight and people died, Sun Yu felt much calmer. This result was better than false information.
Kono directed all the combatants to fire at the reed swamp, not caring that there were several wounded inside. Sun Yu did not dare to stop him. As for the wounded, they could only rely on themselves to seek their own blessings.
After half an hour of fire coverage, there was silence in the reeds. It was estimated that the wounded were also killed.
When Liu Dacheng saw this horrific scene, he couldn't help but look at each other with Lei Zhansong. The Japanese would never take the lives of Chinese people seriously. The dozen sub-station agents who had just landed ashore, besides touching their mother Lei,
The remaining people were wiped out by the so-called "own people".
Captain Kono was already red-eyed, as if there were thousands of troops hidden in the reeds. He began to direct motorboats, wooden boats, etc. to evacuate to the outskirts of the Hetao. He realized that despite the small number of guerrillas, because they had two
With a wagonload of ammunition and reeds as cover, if the hundreds of people dispersed inside, they would definitely be wiped out.
After retreating to the periphery, Captain Kono ordered to fire incendiary bombs into the reeds!
This was a stupid and terrifying test. Dozens of incendiary bombs fell from the sky, trailing long flames, and the reeds began to burn.
Wind began to rise on the river. The wind helped the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind. The entire sky was covered with smoke, and thick smoke billowed. At a glance, it seemed as if the end of the world was coming.
There was still no sound of gunshots or explosions. Sun Yu was a little skeptical at first, would the weapons hidden in low-lying areas cause self-destruction? Then, what they saw through the telescope was that unknown birds were frightened from time to time.
Get up and run for your life into the distance. You can't see anything in the sky covered by thick smoke.
The fire burned for more than two hours. The Japanese and puppet troops who were preparing for a big fight turned into spectators.
Liu Dacheng and Lei Zhansong, who were standing at the bow of the boat, saw the scene in front of them and gradually understood what was going on. Although Lei Zhansong did not know the specific circumstances of Liu Dacheng's visit to Tongrentang Pharmacy, based on the analysis of the current situation, he judged
Liu Dacheng has quietly laid out a big chess game, and Sun Yu and Kono, the Japanese and puppet troops, are just his pawns.
In addition to wasting ammunition, today's operation also unjustly killed more than a dozen agents. The other results are probably nothing.
However, Captain Kono was very determined and had no intention of withdrawing his troops until results were achieved. The raging fire burned for several hours, until several square kilometers of reeds were burned to ashes, and still not a single shot was heard. More
No guerrillas were seen breaking through. It was obvious that the guerrillas were no longer in this area of the Three Rivers. All efforts were in vain.
"Report--"
A light motorboat approached Kono's motorboat from far away. This type of motorboat is small, light and very convenient for transmitting information. The two Japanese soldiers on the boat rushed towards him at lightning speed, sweating profusely.
.
These two men should be soldiers of the Gendarmerie, wearing sleeves with the word Gendarmerie on their arms. Without an emergency military situation, they would not look so panicked.
"Report to Captain Kono that the county gendarmerie was attacked by guerrillas and suffered heavy losses."
Look at the two gendarmes again. Their faces were covered with dust and there were blood stains on their clothes. It was obvious that they had escaped with their lives after a bloody battle.
"Nani?"
Captain Kono finally figured it out. The guerrillas set up a fascination array in the Hetao area, attracting most of the Japanese and puppet troops. Then they took advantage of the emptiness in the county and suddenly attacked the gendarmerie headquarters.
"Urgent withdrawal!"
Following Captain Kono's order, all wooden boats, motorboats and other water transportation vehicles began to retreat. They could no longer care about the fire in the Hetao area. Liu Dacheng and Lei Zhansong sat quietly on the side of the boat, smoking.
