Chapter 324 Others trade for money, they trade for their lives
There were sighs from above.
Down below, whether they were making fire or throwing things, they were having a great time.
Zhao Xiang Xiuling's eyes sparkled as she picked up a bag of chili peppers for future use to keep warm. She glanced at Xiang slyly and threw the bag directly at him, chuckling twice; "Enjoy it, you two."
"What a waste. Xiao Ye had to cover his face. This is such a waste. So many peppers were thrown in. These had to be bought with money.
"What did you say?" Chao Xiang Xiuling turned her head and asked with her eyes wide open.
"It doesn't matter if you put more or less, the effect will be the same." Ono pointed at the peppers in dissatisfaction. They are indispensable for keeping warm and cooking.
Chao Xiang Xiuling snorted: "How can you be so short-sighted? You've tortured them to death. The weapons and ammunition above are yours. Why do you care about ten pounds of chili peppers?"
It seems that this is the truth.
Cough cough cough...
Zhou Weiguo coughed several times because of the choking smell and said, "Let's go, let's leave it to the special forces. This place is life-threatening."
Zhao Xiang Xiuling grabbed Zhou Weiguo and said, "Don't worry, there are fireworks but no fire. Don't you feel that something is missing?"
And set fire to it.
Huang Laoya looked at Zhao Xiang Xiuling in front of him with admiration. This guy... wants to set fire, but who is he going to burn?
"set fire?"
"Yes." Chao Xiang Xiuling pointed in the direction of Qingshan; "Isolate the other places, and then set them on fire. If the fire spreads, they will have to put out the fire for fear of being burned to death. To put out the fire, they need water, and this water will consume energy. After consuming energy, they will have to eat. How many days do you think they can hold out? We have to buy time for the Jiangfang side. After all, there are several heavy artillery pieces, and the threat is still great."
"Xu Hu." Zhou Weiguo shouted.
Xu Hu, who had returned from Jiangsu and other places, trotted over to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Captain, what do you want me to do?"
"Touch Xiangshan at night and set a fire."
It's dry this day, I'm sure it will get ignited at the slightest touch.
Is it daybreak?
The bright light made Kurai Yue, who had gone to bed early after being suffocated all day, open his eyes dazedly.
The dark red sky made him confused at first. Why did the sky turn a little red?
"It's on fire." Someone shouted, and Cang Jingyue got up and ran out.
The smoke had not yet dissipated. I opened my eyes and looked around, and tears were streaming down my face.
Less than a hundred meters away from the front-line position, a fire was spreading. Due to the weather, the fire was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly." Kurai Yue trembled and shouted, pointing down the mountain.
This fire must not be allowed to burn.
"Who is it? Who is it? They are so lacking in virtue." After giving the order, Kurai Yue broke down and cursed. These people are really shameless.
Bucket after bucket of water was carried out, and no one paid any attention to it. There was no problem with the water source until the next morning, when the last bit of fire was put out.
Cang Jingyue sat next to him and frowned, "Why hasn't the water for washing been brought yet?"
The guard stared at his captain with wide eyes for a while before saying in frustration, "Captain, we are out of water."
"Without water, they are finished."
When Chao Xiang Xiuling woke up early in the morning, she heard Zhao Shoutian and others at the observation post say that the Japanese army was busy for a long time yesterday and used a lot of water to put out the fire. She said with a smile.
Fang Shengli frowned as he was studying the battle map with Sano Tadayoshi. "We can't be so sure. Don't they know to leave some?"
"If you were in this situation, would you still think of saving water?"
I never thought that there were a lot of shells and ammunition piled up on it.
The burning fire is not scary, what is scary is the high temperature. No artillery shell can withstand the high temperature. Once they explode, all the people above them will be finished.
This is why they must put out the fire.
The fire was out, the water was gone, and the food was probably consumed by their exhaustion. What choice did they have next?
"Captain, they are so mean." Shigeru Miyamoto thought about it for half an hour and couldn't figure out how Zhou Weiguo and his men could come up with such a sinister idea.
Takeshita Shun twirled the pen in his hand and laughed, "What's so strange about this? Ever since they sent the second brigade up, I knew things were not that simple, and all this is just the beginning."
The beginning was already so torturous. I wonder how thrilling it will be later.
"Captain, what do you think they should choose now?"
How to choose?
Takeshita Shun fell into deep thought for a long time before he raised his head; "Transaction."
Trade...deal?
Shigeru Miyamoto is no stranger to deals, as the Independent Regiment likes to make deals, not only with the 4th Division, but also with others.
They like supplies and ammunition, and then use these supplies to exchange for parts. Of course, the transactions here are ambiguous. Other people trade for money, but here, we trade for our lives.
No, this is totally wrong.
Miyamoto Shigeru shook his head and glanced at Takeshita Shun; "Captain, a deal is only made when there is no other choice, but now, everything is not hopeless. The Hata detachment will definitely rescue them. They..."
"You don't think my old classmate would let the Hata detachment get close to him, do you?"
I guess he had already thought of it when he sent the second reinforcement.
That's a restricted area. It's impossible for you to get through.
Reinforcements. Not coming.
Cang Jingyue frowned and glanced at the telegram in his hand. This telegram was just received.
The Hata Detachment Command called and said that their reinforcements were fiercely intercepted by the enemy seven kilometers away. The enemy mobilized the forces of two armies and carried out a detour led by tanks. In order to avoid being surrounded, the reinforcements had no choice but to evacuate.
As for the air force, after receiving the news, they dispatched transport planes to deliver supplies, but they were intercepted by at least three squadrons of fighter jets from the enemy on the way. They suffered heavy losses and had to return, and then did not dispatch again.
Ground troops cannot come, and air support cannot come. The above means that we should have the courage to face difficulties.
Have the courage to face difficulties?
Cang Jingyue turned his head to look at the soldiers lying in a mess beside him and sighed.
What can he use to face difficulties?
Because of the thick smoke and the fire, all the supplies were consumed. Under the scorching sun, some soldiers had no choice but to use urine to relieve their chapped lips, but the more they drank, the more thirsty they became. Today, he took a sip and spat it out.
Even if it was his own, he would not drink it.
Kurai Yue's gaze fell on the foot of the mountain.
There, there was a pond with a radius of nearly 100 meters. It was full of running water. The clear water overflowed and flowed down from a small ditch washed out by the side.
He never realized that water could give him an experience that he longed for but could never have.
"Why didn't he dig a reservoir on the mountain to get water from below before the independent regiment arrived? Why didn't he build a few isolation zones at the frontline before the independent regiment arrived?" When the fire was burning, he had to send people to put out the fire in order to avoid the high temperature explosion of the shells. As a result, the little water he had was all used up.
He finally understood why the enemies below did not stop him when he was putting out the fire. Not only did they not stop him, but some of them were pointing and talking. At that time, he did not understand, but now, he understood.
