Chapter 486 Trying to Fend off the Enemy (09)

Using the ancient things of the catapult to the present and playing an important role can be regarded as a way to let this thing that has been eliminated long ago play a residual role. It is a pity that the number of these things is not large, but it is enough for the little devil's camp. The people turned their backs on their backs, but after being overjoyed, they finally found that they only took advantage of it in a short period of time. This thing can't be thrown accurately at all. It would be good if it could be thrown into the devil's camp. As for where it landed, it's not so good I have mastered it, but the devil is different. The devil has brought a sufficient number of mortars. Only those who have experienced the power of this thing know how terrible it is...

The devil's counterattack was very fast. Si Xuanyi knew that he was going to suffer when the shells fell, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat, but after all, the order was transmitted slowly because of the language barrier. When the last few explosive packets were about to be thrown into the devil's camp, the shells fell, and the trebuchet and a few natives were blown away. It was not because of the power of the devil's mortar shells, but because the shells detonated the remaining The violent explosion left a big crater on the ground, and there was nothing left...

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Si Xuanyi urged everyone loudly. He knew very well that under such circumstances, the Japanese army had a sufficient advantage. They are much faster, and they have skilled and accurate shooters who can attack accurately. In contrast, they basically have no chance of winning with this rag, so they must withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible to avoid greater casualties.

This attack blew up the devil's camp in a mess, and the defense formula on the outside was in disarray. In the original plan, they planned to destroy the outside while causing huge casualties to the devil, and then charged inside to start a round of hand-to-hand combat. It's just that the little devil's reaction was too quick, so he didn't give them this chance at all.

"It can be regarded as another achievement." Si Xuanyi looked at the smoke-filled devil camp and said, it was already dawn and the light was getting better and better, and it was already difficult for them to launch another round of attacks.

The Japanese army has begun to organize people to approach the entrance, ready to dig and rescue the people inside. Li Siming led a few people to fight coldly in the distance to stop the devil's actions, but soon encountered counterattacks from others, and they had to withdraw from the position. Can't stop the kid.

"Even if they want to dig, they can't make any progress in a short period of time. We put a lot of explosives at the entrance, and the blasting area is very large. It may not be easy to dig. At least they can't do it in a short time. These little devils are also real. How much work does it take to be stubborn enough? Under such circumstances, it’s really self-defeating to still want to get through it.” Zhao Chenggong shook his head, thinking that these little devils are stupid.

"After all, many of them are trapped inside, and it's impossible for them to just give up, or we haven't caused them enough damage, and they still have the mood to think about it." Si Xuanyi said while thinking about countermeasures.

"It's dawn, we have no advantage, what should we do? I'm afraid it will be difficult to make progress just by harassment." Liu Xiaotian said, "Take it hard, we are not strong enough, but we can't let the little devil live too peacefully."

"How many grenades can the grenades use?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"The things we brought were already used up, and some were seized later. After all, the consumption last night was too great, and now there is not much left." Liu Xiaotian said.

"The consumption of explosives is close to [-]%, we have to save some money." Zhao Chenggong said.

"The ammunition is still sufficient. There are 23 combatants left, and all the wounded have gone to Yin Lu's tribe. In comparison, the loss of personnel is a bit large." Li Siming said.

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi didn't say anything more. In fact, their current situation is not much better than that of the little devil. There should be dozens of people who can still fight with the little devil. Some of them were trapped inside, but the outside alone was enough for them to deal with, and the number of them was pitifully small. Although most of Yin Lu's tribe fighters stayed on their side to help in the battle, they only seemed to be very powerful. The real combat power... Si Xuanyi could only smile wryly, he didn't expect these people to help them win the victory, and now he has been thinking about how to make good use of these people, but he can't think of a suitable method all the time.

"This is the most difficult of all the missions we have experienced. Although we have not entered the dark place, nor encountered complicated organs and those weird things, the enemies are the most difficult to deal with. Before, we could use the complex terrain and the monsters inside to consume the enemy, but this time it was different from the past, it was done with real knives and guns, but we didn't have the ability to confront them head-on." Li Siming said.

"It's better to wait until night, or take advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack. If we cooperate with grenades and throwers, we are not completely out of luck." Zhao Chenggong said.

Si Xuanyi shook his head: "We can't wait until night. There are too many things that can be done during the day. Even if the little devils can't dig that place, they can't be quiet, and they absolutely can't have any chance to breathe."

"Now that the little devil has been beaten, it is estimated that various preparations will be made at night to deal with possible surprise attacks, so it may not be easy to win at night, not to mention that the little devil has flares, platoons and throwing The cartridges, plus the bonfires inside and outside the camp, as well as the trenches and walls repaired by them, is it easier said than done to sneak in?" Li Siming said, "But from another perspective, how can they beat them with our ammunition consumption? How is it better than us? It is impossible for us or them to get supplements in the deep mountains and old forests, unless they can contact the outside to airdrop them, but where will the airdropped things fall? They can get them Is it? I hope they get the airdrop, and we can grab a batch."

"We have to plan carefully for the following battles. We must save ammunition. Otherwise, once our ammunition is exhausted with the enemy first, it will be over. What tasks are we talking about?"

"Then this doesn't work and that doesn't work, what should I do?" Zhao Chenggong spread his hands.

"Think about it slowly!" Si Xuanyi sighed, "The harassment can't stop until you figure out a good way, turn around and shoot coldly, don't let them stop, if you shoot one, they will shoot back at us indiscriminately Just earn and consume them as much as possible, whether it is people or ammunition."

What was before them was indeed a big problem, so after discussing for a long time they couldn't come up with a better solution. In desperation, they could only continue the current fighting mode, causing troubles for the enemy as much as possible and consuming their strength.

After these two days of fighting, the devils have also learned to be good. They say that those in the camp don’t show their faces at all, and they don’t care if you shoot twice occasionally. The sentries are also hidden, monitoring the movement around them in the dark , as long as it is not certain that a strong enemy is coming, it will not sound the alarm, and the devils inside rely on the dry food and drinking water they carry for two or three days. There should be no problem. Those who should save people should eat and sleep. , as much as possible to restore physical strength.

As for the rambunctious ghosts who were in charge of digging the hole, they first took the risk to open a gap, and then took turns working inside. The stones they dug out were thrown out directly, trying not to show their heads, and the ghosts guarding outside relied on the terrain to avoid them, trying to hurt them It's not easy either.

"Does their method of digging holes with rats really work? There are so few things dug out, and it takes a hundred years to dig them out?" Zhao Chenggong felt that the little devil's work was unreliable.

"They just want to open a gap to allow people to come in and out." Li Siming, "The purpose is to let the people inside out, even if it is a gap, as long as they can save their lives and leave that ghost place, who cares about the process of getting out Are you comfortable?"

"If they knew that the entrance was here, they shouldn't have been allowed to camp here. Now it's all right, the entrance is next to the camp, it's really cheap for them." Si Xuanyi shook his head, very helpless.

"If it weren't for Yin Lu and the others who took so much into account and didn't tell us the matter, they wouldn't be in the present situation. It's really delaying things." Zhao Chenggong said angrily.

"This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about it." Si Xuanyi said, and after thinking for a while, he said to Liu Xiaotian, "You and Lin Feng take people in, try to eliminate the ghosts inside, and prepare for the entrance to be opened, and don't let them Rescue people, the little devil is blocked in sections, it is possible that part of the blocked place has been opened to move around looking for an exit, clean up this part first, and it is best to kill the trapped ones, if not Don't force it, if possible, try to expand the blocking range of the entrance inside."

Li Siming added: "Go and say hello to Yin Lu first, so as not to cause misunderstandings, try not to get close to the entrance of the Holy Land, we don't care about that for the time being, try to destroy the enemy's vital forces, even if we have nothing to do with the devils in the camp, we can't let them go." They dug everyone out."

After Liu Xiaotian left, Si Xuanyi observed carefully for a while and said to Zhao Chenggong: "Go up and set the bush on the north side of the devil camp for him."

Zhao Chenggong raised his head and looked over there carefully: "It's too far away, and I can't burn the little devil."

"The direction of the wind is in our favor, try to create some smoke so that the little devil is not so lonely..." Si Xuanyi said, "Be careful not to cause a wildfire, otherwise we will have no place to hide if we burn all this area."

Zhao Chenggong nodded and left quietly. Si Xuanyi ordered Ye Feng to blast above the little devil's digging site, and then quietly approached the devil's digging site with Li Siming and the rest, but the enemy's sentry was very comprehensive. It's also impossible for them to get too close.

After a while, the hillside to the north started to burn. Zhao Chenggong really created enough thick smoke. Driven by the mountain wind, the smoke drifted towards the camp of the devils, but the devils didn't come out, and they were not stupid. You can't die at all, you can only hide in it and curse secretly.

With the help of the cover of thick smoke, Si Xuanyi led the people forward quickly, and without anyone noticing, they touched within a range of more than a hundred meters. Finally, they chose a suitable place to ambush, but the shooting angle here was not good. It's just that there are no other options, and there is a danger of being discovered.

"It's already the limit to be within this range." Si Xuanyi said while observing the hole dug by the devil.

"I can't see why the devils came here?" Fang Yuanshan didn't understand why Si Xuanyi ran here with so much effort, did he want to rely on a dozen or so of them to kill those devils who were digging holes?It is impossible to move forward, and it is estimated that it will be discovered as soon as it moves.

"Wait..." Si Xuanyi said in a low voice, "All the muzzles of the guns are enough for me to point at the hole, and if anyone comes out, I will kill them all."

This is not certain, it's not certain when the enemy will come out, Fang Yuanshan thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this, since Si Xuanyi ordered, the others had to follow suit, just like that, they lay here and endured Waiting with temper, when will this have to wait?Wait for the little devil to change shift or call it a day?It would be troublesome if the little devil found out that they had come over quietly, after all, it was too close to the devil's camp.

I don't know how long it took before there was a loud noise above the entrance of the cave. Ye Feng successfully dived over and carried out the blast. Suddenly, rubble flew across the hillside and thick smoke filled the air. Many stones that were loosened by the explosion rolled from above. Down, galloping all the way down, the momentum was astonishing, but the hole dug by the little devil was not affected much, and it just shook slightly and dropped some soil, but the people inside didn't know what was going on, thinking that it was going to collapse, This was the opportunity Si Xuanyi was waiting for, and he shot immediately. After the random shooting, six or seven little devils fell under their guns in time, waiting for the rest of the devils to react When they came over, they had already evacuated quickly, and disappeared under the lingering thick smoke. Those little devils couldn't help cursing and being fooled after they figured out what was going on, but there was nothing they could do, after all, the environment they were digging was too dangerous , it is still necessary to be careful, but you can't be so reckless next time.

"I'll go! This method really works." Fang Yuanshan said admiringly while running, "I thought that blasting was just a waste of explosives."

"You know that the explosion is not very powerful, and the little devils inside don't know it, especially in caves where landslides may occur at any time. If there is any trouble, the first thing the people inside must think of is to escape. Who would be willing to stay inside and risk being buried alive to continue digging? This is driven by human survival instinct." Si Xuanyi looked back and looked away from the dangerous area before he heaved a sigh of relief, "Although we successfully killed a few Devil, but this method can only be used once, we have to think of other methods..."
