Indiana Jones

Chapter 554

Compared with the chaos here, Li Siming and others on the other side are much safer. In fact, they don't need to confront the little devil head-on, but to prevent the enemy from salvaging from another angle. Their task is not to stop the reinforcements Mainly, it is not to sneak attack on the devil's salvage team, but to find another way to go upstream, find the tributaries and dams of this river, and gather more water, so that the water level of the whole river will rise rapidly, creating a huge burden for the devil's salvage work. Bigger obstacles, perhaps this is the fastest way so far, the turbulent river that was not suitable for salvage has become more difficult to deal with, and now the water level is rising very fast, almost approaching the highest position of the bridge pier, the broken bridge It won't be long before it will be completely submerged. The water level has risen by at least four or five meters, and there is still a rising trend. This has indeed had a great impact on the little devil's salvage work, although they have already determined the approximate location of the item. , but because several divers have already been swept away by this turbulent river, and they haven't been found yet, the difficulty and danger of securing a prison have indeed increased a lot.

"There is only so much we can do at the moment." Li Siming looked at the last dam that was blown up and said, "This may be the maximum amount of water we can increase. I hope the little devil will retreat."

"If there is no artificial change or destruction of the river course, the water flow will continue, and the water volume will increase when it rains. It is not so easy for the young man to build a dam to stop the water." The woodcutter said, "But the little devil is very It is possible to carry out long-distance surveys to divert water sources, reduce the water flow of the main river, or find a suitable place to blow up the embankment to release water, so as to reduce the size and flow velocity of the water. Of course, this is for outsiders who do not understand geography. It’s not something that can be done in a day or two.”

"We can't take care of so much now. If we can stop the little devil from salvaging from two aspects, it will be considered a success. To be honest, we have no chance to get these things back. Even if the little devil can't salvage it, it will be even more difficult for us to do it. After all, there is still a big gap between our salvage technology and theirs." Li Siming said.

"That's not easy. Just build a dam on it to stop the water? Or divert it to other places." Fang Yuanshan didn't think it was difficult.

Li Siming shook his head: "It's easy to say, but it's not that simple to implement. If the river can be easily diverted artificially, there won't be floods every year. There are villages everywhere around here. Where do you put the water?" Leading? Unless you can take all the people in this village away, but this seems to be more difficult than changing the direction of the river? Don’t forget, this is still an enemy-occupied area.”

"In my opinion, it's best to blow him with water a few times, and I'll bury these things at the bottom of the river." Ye Feng said, "This is the safest way, and the little devil won't even try to dig it out again. There is no need to worry about the Chinese territory, anyway, sooner or later we will be able to get something out, sure."

"Anyway, I can accept any ending as long as those little devils don't take those things away." The woodcutter said it very simply and clearly, but in fact, this seemingly simple mission requirement is actually very difficult to achieve, especially Under the current circumstances, they really don't have anything to ask for. Apart from this few people and limited ammunition, they really don't have the strength to really stop those little devils from continuing to salvage, so they can only choose to take a slanted approach from the side. Consider the problem from another angle to complete this task, of course they are well aware that this is quite difficult.

"The water level has risen so fast this night, the little devil will definitely notice something wrong, and it won't take long for someone to check it out. Our means won't be able to stop it for long, as long as we carry out a few blasts, it will be effective. Little traffic." Li Siming is very clear that everything is temporary, and the little devil will not be so stupid as to sit and wait for death, but will definitely take the initiative to find the problem and start to solve it.

"At least we bought time," said the woodcutter. "Even if the kid has a way, it's impossible to fish out the things in the water now. As long as they fail to achieve their goal for a day, our work will not be in vain."

"Zhou Xiaoping has mobilized more people to participate. Even if the little devil can't fish up the things, these things can't be buried under this water for a long time. That's tons of gold. How tempting is it? Some people will definitely fall for it." Regardless of life, that is to say, who owns this thing is still unknown." Ye Feng said.

"That is something that should be considered in the future. We can only look at the present now. As long as the little devil can't take it away, we can slowly find a way later. Even if it is caught by other people, it is better than falling into the hands of the little devil." We can't do nothing for one reason or another." Li Siming looked at the river in front of him and said, "All the tentative actions we have done are to add enough trouble to the little devil. Let them be hindered everywhere, it is difficult to achieve the simplest goal, and let them understand that no matter what they want to do in this land of China, it will be very difficult and they will have to pay a huge price."

"Then how long do you think it will take for the little devil to find out and stop the work we completed in one night?" Fang Yuanshan asked.

"It depends on our subsequent work and whether the people mobilized by Zhou Xiaopeng can maintain the results of our previous actions." Li Siming said, "Maintaining this water volume and flow rate is actually not difficult, even if the little devil takes the work we have done before. Everything is destroyed once, as long as we make some adjustments to ensure the water volume of each tributary, we can continue to let the water level rise, at least it can maintain the current state, but this requires later maintenance, so it does not depend entirely on us." Li Siming saw Looking far away, "No matter what the result is, let's do it right now. The situation has developed to the point where we can no longer control it. At best, we can only follow the trend and adapt to the situation."

Soon, the little devils really reacted and began to go upstream to check the situation. After all, the rise in the water level was too abnormal. Of course, these small-scale devils failed to escape Li Siming's ambush. All the devils who were killed were abandoned by them in the river. When the little devil realized the seriousness of the matter, at least three survey teams had been wiped out. During this period, the salvage work in the downstream made no progress. The equipment did not arrive. The second is that the rise of the water level has a great impact on the underwater exploration and location determination. In addition to being unable to be finalized, several divers have been lost. In addition to the increase in the current and the rise in the water level, the work is progressing slowly. At the same time There are constant guerrillas harassing nearby, so that this work is basically impossible to carry out normally. The most terrible thing is that there are all kinds of explosives floating down the upstream, although it is difficult for these things to control the position of the explosion. , but no one is willing to work under the threat of explosions, divers are unwilling to go into the water, and the fixed piling work in the water cannot continue, so that the entire salvage work has fallen into a semi-paralyzed state.

In fact, such a result is not the credit of a certain team, but the result of the joint efforts of all the surrounding armed forces mobilized by Zhou Xiaopeng. At least a few hundred or more people participated in it, and these people were divided into countless groups. The combat team carried out sneak attacks on the devil's transportation route and around the garrison. The surrounding counties were also very lively. For a while, the little devil couldn't figure out how many people were involved. , there are people everywhere who are making trouble for the little devils, making them confused about which direction the threat comes from. However, a lot of manpower was lost in the attacks that kept appearing, and finally they couldn't hold on anymore and began to evacuate.

"The little devil is about to evacuate..." Li Siming said looking at the little devil who was preparing to evacuate in the distance.

"Our toss is not in vain." The woodcutter sighed, not only him, but almost everyone was relieved. At least so far, everything they have done has seen results. The little devil failed to take away a gold brick. But the price they paid was not small. So many days have passed since the beginning of the mission, and the number of people Zhou Xiaopeng lost in the battle is an unbearable number. Their side is better, but what about Si Xuanyi's side? No one knows, but it will definitely not be so easy for them to fight a blocking war. Some losses are inevitable, but can they really bear the final result?I'm afraid this can only be known after the confluence.

"It's not so easy for the little devils to leave. It's not that they come and leave whenever they want." Zhou Xiaopeng gritted his teeth and said, "Let us lose so many people and then withdraw like this? No way!"

Li Siming is very clear that Zhou Xiaopeng wants to vent his anger. He has been very cautious in the accounts for the past two days, for fear that something will go wrong and give the little devil Ziyi a chance, which will lead to the failure of the whole mission. Can these little devils leave calmly?So he immediately made corresponding adjustments to the arrangement below, and started attacking the evacuation team of the little devils along the way, even if they couldn't wipe out these little devils, they would still suffer heavy casualties.

For a while, all combat forces flocked to the little devil's evacuation route. It was not until then that Li Siming finally understood how many people Zhou Xiaopeng had used to complete this mission, which was far more than he expected. There are so many people. Of course, not all of them are combat forces. There are about three to 500 people who can actually fight with guns. The reason why it is so inaccurate is because the number of these guerrilla forces hidden underground and the number of gangsters involved are not fixed. , and for this mission, manpower is constantly being mobilized, so the number of people fluctuates a lot, and the rest are basically for these people to provide logistical support, including transporting ammunition and supplies, and digging traps on the way the devils must pass to destroy Road conditions, dredging and raising the water level... and a series of basic tasks. If there is no such a large number of people involved, it is really difficult for them to complete this task. Of course, although the number of people seems to be sufficient, they also paid Sufficient price, the casualties of these people is also a figure that is difficult to complete in a short period of time. After all, the well-equipped regular army of the little devil is not so easy to deal with. It is not a simple number that can determine success or failure. The little devil is paying At the same time as enough casualties, it also caused considerable losses to Zhou Xiaopeng's relegated manpower. At least half of the combat personnel were lost, and more than a hundred people who were doing logistics support were killed or injured. It is difficult to complete the internal affairs, so under such a large casualty, Zhou Xiaopeng continued to give you a fatal blow to the devil. Even if it's just to let these little devils suffer heavy casualties, it's not that they don't care about life and death, but that they know that they must pay a sufficient price to achieve their goals.

It can be said that this was a longer and more tragic blocking battle. Zhou Xiaopeng continued to add manpower to arrange the evacuation route of the devils. The tanks came to respond, and with the support of the air force, they found a chance to evacuate, but they also paid a heavy price. During the evacuation, two tanks were destroyed. After all, Zhou Xiaopeng's people did not have any weapons to deal with this iron bastard. , all with flesh and blood hugging the explosive package and perishing with it, but even so, it only blows up the track, and the devils inside are fine. It is very rare to achieve such a fighting effect in such a tragic battle, after all They attacked the well-equipped Japanese army with their flesh and blood. This kind of battle cannot be simply described by the word "tragic".

"We killed at least 50 devils..." Zhou Xiaopeng said looking at the smoky battlefield below, "but we paid an absolutely painful price, but I believe it is worth it."

"Nothing is worth it. It depends on what you want in the end. In my opinion, no matter how valuable the gold is, it is far less valuable than human life. It's just that our purpose of stopping the little devil is not simply for the gold. Considering the problem from the value of these goods, the price is indeed too heavy, but we have indeed made a due contribution to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, so it is not worth it." Li Siming said.

At this moment, someone ran over and whispered in Zhou Xiaopeng's ear for a while. Zhou Xiaopeng's expression kept changing. Li Siming could sense that something was going on, so he waited quietly. After a long time, Zhou Xiaopeng's hand Tell that person to go down, turn around and look at him for a long time before saying: "Something happened to the other group, your captain...I'm afraid he won't be able to come back..."
