Chapter 5: Beacon Smoke (Part 2) "Can't get out of the city." The jump between the previous and following sentences was too big. Akiyama Yoshio couldn't keep up with his thoughts for a while. He was stunned and hesitated to repeat. "Even people like Bao Lige are forced by you." Shiro Shiro glared at the other party and had to explain in a low voice. Halfway through his words, a red light suddenly lit up outside the window, followed by , the sky collapsed, and a series of thunderous explosions shattered the glass windows. "Be careful." Shiro Shiro immediately pulled Akiyama Yoshio under the desk, shouting hoarsely, "Squat here and don't move, be careful of assassins taking the opportunity to make a cold shot." Without his instructions, Akiyama Yoshio did not dare to lift his body from the table. The explosion outside was so violent that the ground heaved like waves. If you exposed your body outside the desk at this time, even if you didn't die from the assassin's black gun, you would be stabbed by flying shrapnel or glass shards. , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s also the end of five bloody steps. After a full quarter of an hour, the explosion outside just subsided. Shiro Shiro and Akiyama Yoshio supported each other and got out from under the desk, wanting to cry without tears. Both of them are veterans. Without looking, they knew that the explosion outside was definitely not from artillery shelling. All the forces in and around Black Rock City, including the Japanese themselves, could not afford to consume so many artillery shells, causing such a situation. There is only one possibility for the violent explosion, that is, the arms that the Kwantung Army worked so hard to transport from Manchuria were all destroyed. The Akiyama Brigade will not talk about rescuing Kawada Kuniaki. Can they protect the county town from being destroyed? Breaking through has become a matter of suspense. "Report." A Japanese second lieutenant covered in blood, surrounded by guards, broke in from outside and said angrily, "Report sir, the ammunition depot, the ammunition depot was bombed, it was the Chinese, the Chinese did it, they " "Stop talking about it, let's get to the point." Akiyama Yoshio picked up the collar of the reporting lieutenant and asked with red eyes, "Where is the armored transport vehicle of the second brigade? Is the armored transport vehicle still there? I said before. They were previously ordered to carry a week's supply of ammunition. ""Ho ho ho." The messenger was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe. His hands and feet struggled desperately. At the critical moment, Shiro Siro was still calm. He slapped Yoshio Akiyama hard from behind and then shouted a reminder. , "Let go and let Second Lieutenant Sakai speak. It's already like this. Even if you strangle him, it won't change anything." The gray face was particularly ferocious by the fire outside, "Tell me, is the transport truck still there? What did you losers do just now? You actually let the Chinese rush into the arsenal." "The transport truck was, was It exploded, but, but the weapons inside did not explode." The reporter, Takaaki Sakai, covered his throat with one hand and gasped for air, "But, but the cars were not full, and the Chinese were brought in as coolies. Among them, there were two spies from Tubal Road. Their waists were full of grenades. They secretly pulled the fuse while they were moving things into the warehouse." No bones were left. The scene of the explosion of dozens of tons of arms. It was impossible to leave any traces of flesh and blood. Although he was used to seeing life and death, Akiyama Yoshio was shocked by the Eighth Route Spy's determination and took a breath of air. His scarlet eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "You, you said It must be all true, it was really the spies from Tubal Road who did it! No, it wasn¡¯t you, you were careless.¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Sakai Takaaki was startled, raised his hands, and cried for him. He defended himself, "I can swear, I can swear that we were not careless. Caochang, Lieutenant Caochang was standing at the door of the arsenal at that time. He was blown to pieces on the spot. The entire team guarding the arsenal, including myself, was "There are only four people left alive." She took his shoulder and said hastily: "Now is not the time to get hung up on the details. Come out with me quickly, seal off the scene, and appease the soldiers to avoid causing greater commotion." "Hey, Mr. Baichuan reminded me. "Yoshio Akiyama bowed like a puppet, followed Shiro Shirakawa, and walked out quickly. As he walked, he still kept repeating, "The spies from Tubal Road, how did the spies from Tubal Road sneak into the city? , they, how are they? " "They are not spies from the Tubal Road. If Lieutenant Sakai's report just now is true, they should be agents of the military commander." Shiro Shiro turned back and glared at him, gritting his teeth, "Spies from the Tubal Road rarely use this method. They attack their opponents violently, but Juntong is an expert in assassination and destruction. " Having said this, he glanced at Yoshio Akiyama hatefully a few more times, and sighed loudly. Yoshio Akiyama immediately understood the reason for the sigh, and a black and purple color quickly filled his blue-gray face."Shirakawa-kun, now is not the time to blame each other. At this critical moment, you and I must" "I'm just reminding you that since you have chosen tactics other than the battlefield, you must be prepared to prevent others from retaliating with the same means." It had been expected for a long time. Seeing that the other party would not appreciate it, Shiro Shiro Shirakawa shrugged and added with a sneer, "Blowing up the arsenal is just the first wave, and then" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" The sound of two shells breaking through the air interrupted him. The meaningless chatter was followed by a violent explosion again, and near the south gate of Black Rock City, thick smoke rose into the sky with flames. "It's a bombardment. Hurry up and gather your men and horses, go up to the city and prepare for battle." Shirokawa Shiro no longer cared about complaining, pushed Akiyama Yoshio hard, and then quickly ran to the horse road to the city, "Quick, I'll go south first. The gate organizes defense, and you immediately summon reinforcements to the city. The south gate, north gate and the east and west walls all need reinforcements immediately. "The situation is urgent, and Akiyama Yoshio does not have time to think about what he and Shirakawa Shiro should do. It was no longer a question of who was commanding whom, so he agreed and trotted off to summon his subordinates. "Boom." "Boom." The shelling continued. Although it was not intensive, it caused great panic to the Japanese and puppet soldiers and ordinary people in the city. Especially near the north and south gates, the Japanese and puppet soldiers on duty They hid their bodies behind the ruins of the broken wall, holding their guns and clashing their teeth. "Cluck, cluck, cluck." I don't know whether it was because of the cold or because of panic. Akiyama Yoshio himself also kept having a cold war. The arsenal was bombed, and there was a group of unknown armed forces outside who launched artillery attacks on the city. In a battle, even if he could repel the enemy troops outside the city, he would definitely not be able to send any reinforcements to Kawada Kunaki. And if Kawada Kunaki and the two squadron soldiers around him were wiped out by Tubal Road, the upcoming Spring Festival Massacre would be a disaster. After the raid, he was declared dead. Afterwards, even if the Kwantung Army headquarters did not pursue the case, in the minds of the officers, he would probably be relegated to another book that cannot be relied upon. He would have to study hard for several years and fight for several years. With this power, everything turned into a pool of spring water in an instant. "No." Akiyama Yoshio slapped himself hard and forced himself to calm down quickly. Now is not the time to think about how to save the future. The key now is to save Heishizhai County. As for the reasons that led to the failure of the entire sweep plan, it is completely It can be said that Kawada Kuniaki was eager to make a contribution and took action without authorization. Anyway, it was impossible for this person to come back alive, so he might as well use it as waste. Thinking of this, he finally cheered up a little and hurried to the military camp. In front of him, with the help of several confidants, a lot of orders were passed out like water. After a while, all the living Japs and puppet troops in Blackstone Village were summoned and divided into four major groups: southeast, northwest and northwest. Under the leadership of the police, they rushed to the city gate and wall in a hurry. Akiyama Yoshio himself also led a large group of them, including the Japanese and puppet troops, totaling about two squadrons, and ran directly to the south gate that was the first to be bombarded. When he ran to Shiro Shiro Shiro's side panting heavily, the city The gate attack and defense battle has officially begun. In the dark night, no one knows how many soldiers swarmed in. They opened fire on the city while shouting slogans, "Kill the little devil and avenge Mr. Long." "Kill the shameless little devil. , to pay homage to Lord Long¡¯s spirit in heaven.¡± ¡°You little devil, if you have the guts, come out of the city to fight. Do you think you are worthy of being a soldier if you only know how to poison the wine?¡± ¡°Shameless, even bandits know not to murder guests at banquets. " " " Hearing the fire, Akiyama Yoshio raised his command sword and was about to send troops out of the city to fight back. However, Shirokawa Shiro grabbed his arm and reminded loudly, "Don't be fooled, their purpose is to take advantage of them. You lied to an ambush. The walls here are made of stones. Unless they have heavy artillery, it is impossible to break in. ""Ambush," Akiyama Yoshio suddenly woke up, and cold sweat dripped down his spine. , and then listened carefully to the movements outside the city, it turned out that there were many shouts and few shooting sounds. It was obvious that someone was trying to restrain the soldiers to save bullets so that the maximum firepower could be unleashed at the moment when the two armies actually fought. "It should be Zhou Heitan's independent battalion. Its size is based on the Sui Army standard, but the discipline and training level are far inferior to the latter." Seeing that Akiyama Yoshio was still unable to enter the state, Shiro Shiro Shirakawa had no choice but to continue to serve as his staff, "Like this The team can't fight a tough battle. As long as we hold on to the city wall, they will definitely retreat on their own after dawn. " "Thank you Shirakawa-kun for your guidance." Akiyama Yoshio said with a look of gratitude, "The enemy's situation is unclear. "I will definitely follow Shirakawa-kun's advice and never go out of the city to fight. But" he paused deliberately, then changed to a worried expression and continued: "I just don't know what the situation is like on Kawada-kun's side. Can I hold on until the end?" Let's push back the Independent Battalion. Alas, I shouldn't have agreed with him in the first place and left with only two squadrons of men.? This sentence is a waste of saliva, but the real purpose is to test Shiro Shiro's attitude so that he can reach a united front later and put all the responsibility on Kawada Kuniaki. However, Shiro Shiro seemed to be deaf to Akiyama Yoshio's hint and looked straight at him. He stared outside the city, the muscles on his face kept twitching. "Shirakawa-kun, what are you doing?" Akiyama Yoshio was frightened by the expression on the other party's face and was so frightened that he hid back and asked cautiously. "No, Zhou Heitan can completely ambush you on your way to rescue Kawada-kun and catch you off guard." Shiro Shiro shook his head vigorously a few times and answered the question, "He has a very close relationship with Station Commander Peng of the military commander, who is in the city. It's impossible not to tell him to make such a big noise, and he, no, he must have a more important purpose than catching you off guard. ""What purpose?" Shiro Shiro's crow mouth almost said throughout the night. A sure hit made Akiyama Yoshio a little scared, and he took several steps back in the distance, holding on to the crenellations of the city wall, his voice trembling slightly. "I can't guess." Shiro Shiro held his head in his hands, his face full of pain, "None of you were willing to listen to me at the beginning, but now the situation is completely messed up. I don't know where to start. I don't know." After that, he He opened his eyes suddenly again and searched hard outside the city, as if he could find a clear answer in the boundless darkness. Akiyama Yoshio was also made more and more nervous by him. He raised his head and turned his body 360 degrees to look. Suddenly, he heard an exclamation from beside him, "Fire, someone is setting a fire over there." Then, the puppet soldiers around started shouting and pointing outside the city, "Over there, that's over there, Dayantun. Someone set fire to Dayantun." "That's the altar, a big stone barrier. The altar, when Gada Merlin raised his troops, was where he worshiped the Immortal Heaven." A few puppet soldiers who grew up in the local area knew a lot and hid their heads behind the battlements and added in a trembling voice. "Stone Altar, Gada Plum Grove." Akiyama Yoshio arrived in a short time and had no idea what had happened on the grassland. He quickly turned his head to Shiro Shirakawa and asked with his eyes. Shiro Shiro Shirakawa's face turned completely dead gray. Even if it was illuminated by the fire, there was no trace of red. "I know, I know." He stared blankly at the location of the altar outside the city. He muttered to himself, "Zhou Heitan is covering for others, he is "reporting." Gao Ming Sakai held up a telegram and stumbled up the road to the tower, "Reporting to Chief Akiyama, Chief Shirakawa , telegram, the little prince Baiyin, that bastard Baiyin, sent a telegram to the whole world with a clear code. "" Read." An ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and Akiyama Yoshio shouted an order before Shiro Shiro could speak. "Hai." Sakai Takaaki glanced at Shirakawa Shiro. Seeing that the latter had no intention of stopping him, he lowered his head and recited in a low voice: ""Since the September 18th Incident, the Japanese first occupied the Northeast, and then captured Chahar, Re River, I have robbed my livestock, destroyed my pastures, and killed my herdsmen. The crimes I have committed are too numerous to describe. In order to prevent innocent people from suffering from the war, I, a hero of the Mongolian and Han Dynasties, gave in in every possible way and endured the humiliation. However, the Japanese pirates are cruel and have no shame. Ignoring the centuries-old traditions of our Mongolian tribes, he deceived Queen Siqin into coming. ""Don't read these nonsense, focus on the important thing, what on earth does he want to do?" "Yoshio Akiyama heard this and was upset, stamping his feet to interrupt. "It was the poison that caused the trouble again, and the responsibility fell on him again. When he prepared the poison, who had warned that those grasslands with rats on both ends would The nobles reacted so strongly. Well, now, they all came to the door in a swarm. Does the Japanese Kwantung Army need you uncivilized grassland nobles to ask for instructions and report when they kill the rebels? They all deserve to be killed. Kill him, kill him like a river of blood like he did in Nanjing, and the rest will definitely be honest. "He said, he said." Being frightened by Akiyama Yoshio's twisted face, Sakai Takaaki hunched over. His buttocks were firmly pressed against the inner battlement, "he said, he said a lot of nonsense, only the last sentence was useful. " "Read it out, don't be verbose, I'll see what he wants. "Yoshio Akiyama stared at him fiercely, like a lone wolf with rabies. "Even if there is only the last man left in the four banners of Wuqi Yete, he will fight the Japanese pirates and us until the end. "Sakai Gao Ming trembled and repeated in a murmur.
