Chapter 1072 Stones Can Be Used as Weapons

More than a dozen devils chased hundreds and eight roads.

With Yang attacking to this extent, only seven or eight of his subordinates were killed in battle. Logically speaking, it should be regarded as a very impressive thing.

If it weren't for the failure of the lieutenant's previous command, it would definitely become one of the most classic battles in the entire army!

The Sergeant Cao captain who led the team seemed to have finally shown that the imperial army's combat effectiveness was number one in the world.

At the same time, they attacked the mountain, and the reinforcement squadron made a roundabout attack on the east side, but was repulsed by the Eighth Route who ambushed in advance.

Sergeant Cao was not stupid, he didn't lead his men to continue the pursuit, he knew very well that the Eighth Route should have transferred the main force to the west, and he just took advantage of the small number of Eighth Route's frontal blocking troops.

He could see very clearly that the Eight Routes seemed to have the ability to foretell, and ambushed on the flanks ahead of time. Those ambush Earth Eight Routes had already retreated to the mountain ridge. If he continued to follow, those Eight Routes that had withdrawn would probably attack him harshly!
From another point of view, Eight Routes is actually taking a risk, because the combat effectiveness of Eight Routes is actually not much different from what it has seen before. The key is that the level of people who command the battle is really not low.

One of his subordinates was about to climb up the bushes next to the mountain road. The sergeant felt a little uneasy in his heart, and suddenly the bird's voice stopped him: "Don't move, stop moving forward."

As a veteran of the battlefield, Sergeant Cao felt more and more that if he kept up, it would be more or less fatal.

The imperial death squad is not a death squad!
Sergeant Cao's judgment on the trend of the battlefield is extremely accurate.

Not long after, a black shadow followed behind.
"Why don't the devils chase after you?" Geng Goudan held a shell gun in his hand, his voice trembling with nervousness.

"They should have seen us coming for reinforcements."

"But, haven't the reinforcements already left?"

"Devils are not stupid." Li Xiang turned his head and ordered to the soldiers next to him: "Fire a flare."

The purpose of Li Xiang's grenade was not to attack the devils who were following him, but to prevent the devils at the foot of the mountain from following him.

After all, the straight-line distance of the trailing devils is only a hundred meters at this time, and throwing a grenade directly from a condescending height may blow up those devils.

It's a pity that those devils were extremely cunning, scattered and hid in the bushes, and never gathered together. If the observers hadn't been watching, the devils would not open fire, and they didn't even know where the devils were hiding!
"Uncle Li, since the little devil likes to come up from the bushes on both sides of the mountain road, why not... let's set up some traps in the bushes."

Li Xiang shook his head: "Do you think the trap is so easy?"

Tom.
A flash of fire flashed from the muzzle of the prepared grenadier, and a flare rose into the air.

The crowd shrank their heads immediately and looked down the hillside cautiously.

In the shadow of the valley under the moonlight, a large group of black shadows hurriedly hid on the spot.

"The slope is about [-], the distance in a straight line is [-]. There are more than [-] soldiers..." The observer next to Li Xiang stared wide-eyed: "Hehe, the little devil is really insidious."

The distance is too far, and the light is not good. Shooting at this time is a waste of bullets!

A soldier next to him immediately suggested: "I think no matter how well the little devil hides, why don't we throw stones at them to death."

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, this was a good idea: "Look for the stone immediately"

Goudan next to him muttered, "It would be great if we could blow up that house-sized rock with a grenade."

When Li Xiang chose the location on the hillside to block the devils, he didn't consider these things at all. Although the upper part of the small highland is not large, there are many rocks with the size of a human head.

There are also rocks as big as houses, but who can shake the huge rocks that have been eroded by the weathering and erosion of the mountain with such great strength?
Listen to what Goudan said, but... what if you use explosives?
Thinking of this, I immediately looked around and looked at the bottom of the hillside again. The ghosts who planned to sneak up did not hide anymore after their whereabouts were discovered.

The devils were terrified of being bombed by landmines. This time they gathered on the mountain ridge, and the formation was scattered directly. Even if they fired grenades on it, it would be difficult to have any effect.

But if you get down a few boulders, you can always kill a few devils.

The heaviest thing is that the boulder rolling down will bring heavy psychological pressure to the devils.

The battalion commander had already left the mountain ridge westward with his men, and if he could stop the devils for a while longer, the hope of the wounded soldiers surviving would be greater.

As for whether they can really get rid of the devil's pursuit, no one is sure. It still depends on whether the devil is willing to continue to send a large force to pursue.

The mountain road is rough.

If the devils only sent a small force to pursue them, the Ninth Battalion would not be afraid at all.

And the reinforcements from the east had already arrived, and the devils used them as bait, leaving only the Ninth Battalion with a company or so of strength, so it should be unlikely that they would continue to send large troops to pursue them!
Several fighters crawled for a while near the position on the hillside.

The squad leader looked excited: "Reporting to the company commander, most of the rocks seem to have taken root on the hillside, even if they are bombed with grenades, they are unlikely to be moved."

"Most of them?" Under the moonlight, Li Xiang's face was a little displeased: "Is there any one that can be moved?"

"There is a rock that seems to be loose. Even without grenades, three or five of us can push the rock down!"

Li Xiang's eyes brightened: "Then what are you waiting for? Just get one and see the effect."

The five soldiers put down their guns and crawled excitedly to the loose boulder next to the mountain road.

The five people constantly adjusted the angle and posture of the force, and pushed with their shoulders or hands with their tense bodies.

The two-person-high irregular stone swayed slowly.

"Listen to my password. Push hard one, two, three."

The five gathered their strength together, and then exerted their strength again.

The shaking of the boulder is getting bigger and bigger.

There was a creaking sound of crushed stones on the ground, and the boulder finally left its original position and slowly turned outward.

I clenched the grenade with my left hand and stopped moving, my right hand grabbed the firing rope, and shouted to Xu Xiao next to me: "Reload!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the hillside under the moonlight.

The tumbling stones collided with the hillside, followed by a second sound.

The noise became louder and louder, and the rumbling sound began to sound continuously.

There is no purpose in the boulder rolling, it just rolls around in a rough range, and even hits a small ridge or stone on the hillside, and some small stones will be knocked out.

The boulder quickly charged down the hillside with scattered gravel, and the speed became faster and faster.

There seemed to be an echo throughout the valley.

Most of the devils were still hiding in the dark, and when they heard the earth-shattering sound above the hillside, they all raised their heads to observe.

The observers in the devil's team were startled, and immediately opened their throats and screamed: "There is a huge boulder to avoid!"

A group of black shadows came down from the hillside with a roar, and the hillside seemed to be trembling.

The ghosts directly below the stone were a little confused. It was the first time they encountered such a situation, and it was probably too late to run sideways.

The smart one immediately finds a pit to hide.

Frightened, he didn't care if he could run, so he ran sideways.

It's a pity that the steep hillside has the same road, if you run sideways and get unstable, you will fall directly down the hillside.
The faster and faster boulder swept everything behind with smoke and dust like thunder.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and a fallen ghost looks at the growing black shadow while rolling, and screams strangely about his ancestors for eighteen generations
The fast rolling stones did not give the devil a chance. After leaving a pool of flesh and blood on the ground, he continued rolling with stones of different sizes behind him.
The boulders went all the way, but not many devils were actually hit by them. The rocks on the mountain were not very hard at first. When they fell all the way to the devils' hiding place, the broken stones driven by them formed a flow of nearly ten meters wide.

Being hit by a stone with the size of a human head, those who injured their vitals went straight to the west, and their arms and legs were immediately smashed to pieces and bloody.

A fist-sized stone hit the devil's helmet, directly smashing the helmet, and the head under the helmet was bleeding.

Gravel and more stones fell like rain.

The ghost lieutenant behind and the second lieutenant who followed looked panicked. Tubalu actually used stones as weapons?

The rumbling sound finally disappeared.

The huge boulder that rushed to the valley and finally stopped brought smoke, dust and flesh all the way, and finally stopped.

bloody.
A devil from the Death Squad hiding above was furious. He leaned out from his hiding place and raised his gun towards the place where the cheers came from above the hillside.

There was a pop.

The voice of a soldier who stuck his head out to watch the excitement stopped abruptly.

There was a small hole in the middle of the eyebrows, bubbling bright red.

The ghost who retracted his head immediately moved his body to the side, and a black thing fell from the sky.

boom.
The grenade exploded suddenly.

The 48-petal grenade is completely different from the eight-way grenade.

After the explosion, the shrapnel from the grenade flew randomly, and a certain piece went directly into the devil's head from the position of the devil's ear door.

The little devil didn't even have time to snort, and his body rolled down the slope.
Then, near the position of the eighth road on the hillside, the loud noise of a grenade explosion spread in the valley again.

Another stone was lifted by the blast wave and left the position where it had been rooted for countless years, and slowly rolled down
