Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 42
Yao Liye led his troops and retreated in a sorry state, urgently delivering a letter to the higher-ups …
What did he discover? A small town like this actually had five tanks. If he hadn’t personally witnessed it, he would have thought that it was a joke. But now, just thinking about those five slow and long, dark tanks pointing at him, he felt a chill down his spine. Nine out of ten, nine out of ten!
Now there are tanks, only Chiang Kai-shek, I heard he has American sponsorship to have such advanced weapons, but where is this? This is Shanxi, this is Qu Yang County, a small county town ah! No wonder why Feng Yuxiang didn’t even bother befriending his sworn son and directly attacked him. He actually had something to rely on.
Yao Liye, as the leader of the group, was not a brute either. He wrote down the information in detail and objectively, using it as the most urgent and important information to report to the higher ups.
When the higher-ups received this message, they did not underestimate it. A war was possible, and in this Qu Yang County, there had been foreigners who had come twice. This was an important piece of news, and the high-ranking generals of the enemy forces believed that they had caught hold of the clues.
After a comprehensive analysis, he finally believed that this unassuming Qu Yang County must be Feng Yuxiang’s old home in Shanxi. It was really high, ah! If it weren’t for their plan to ambush from behind the enemy lines, they would’ve been tricked by the enemy to leave the mountain. What kind of small town would be armed to the forests outside the city, and even the mountains were filled with soldiers dressed in strange clothes and loaded with weapons, making it impossible for one or two spies to enter. Not to mention the fact that there were tanks and armoured vehicles in the city.
Yao Liye received a lot of praise from his leader. He praised him for being fearless in the face of danger, having a good view of the situation and a keen sense of combat ability. Finally, he told him that reinforcements would be sent soon. Yao Liye was also in high spirits. If he succeeded this time around, his future would be limitless.
However, as soon as the five thousand troops rushed towards Crooked Yang County, the enemy logistics troops were thrown into chaos. They needed food, guns and ammunition, as well as the medical staff that came with them.
Wu Anguo was originally on the main battlefield, but the battle had been very intense and he had suffered heavy losses. If he had persisted for a few more days, he might have been completely annihilated, but for some reason, today, he suddenly felt that the other party’s firepower had been greatly weakened.
Despite the chaos, the soldiers of one division still approached Qu Yang County from all directions in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the people in Qu Yang County began to panic.
After the last time he used a tractor to scare away the enemy, Crooked Yang County was no longer safe. They had considered retreating, but there were too many people in the city for Xu Bao to bring his family away with him.
In any case, they had already started evacuating. They did their best to tell everyone that they were about to go to war here. Those who could rely on their relatives had to go to them, and staying here was more important than anything.
Seeing many citizens leaving the city, Yao Liye did not stop them, because the order from the higher-ups was to stabilize the city and wait for the main forces to attack from all sides in an attempt to eliminate the enemy.
On the fifth day, most of the citizens were willing to leave the county. Xu Bao was also preparing to leave with his cat and his underlings.
However, he found that he couldn’t get out.
The scouts reported that Qu Yang County was surrounded, the entire county was surrounded …
He had also delivered a lot of cannons. Just by looking at the firepower, it was possible that the entire county had been bombarded.
This time, the one shouting outside the city was still Yao Liye, but he already had a professional prop and was a speaker.
He turned away from the gate and shouted inside, “Listen, people inside, surrender is your only way out! If you guys continue to stubbornly resist like this, at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning, our unit will launch an all-out attack! When the time comes, it will be your doom. You still have a day to think about it. ”
Xu Bao was holding a telescope from a distance. Seeing that it was the same person from last time, he waved his hand to call a sniper over and directly shot him …
Yao Liye became the first captain to be sacrificed in this siege.
The people surrounding the area became even more careful, not daring to get too close or too far away.
In the dead of night, Qu Yang County was like a dead city, devoid of lights or people. It made the people surrounding the city even more nervous. How many elites were there to be able to do this? If it was them, how many people, and what was it that ate, how could there be no activity?
At the same time, Commander Liu, who was staying in Taiyuan’s base, received the news that so many enemies had come to encircle him. At the same time, Commander Liu, who was staying in Taiyuan’s base, received the news that so many enemies had arrived, thinking that they were here to encircle him.
However, right now, he didn’t know where to run to. The unlucky Commander Liu had run into a group of enemy troops.
Fortunately, he was still a little cunning, he had changed into ordinary soldier’s clothes when he was escaping and was not recognized. If the enemy discovered that a commander had been captured, then it would be extremely joyful.
Wu Anguo also felt that something was wrong, at first the enemy’s firepower was just weaker, then later it got weaker, and then later, they simply couldn’t come out, how could they still fight, and he hadn’t received the order from his superior to retreat yet, he also couldn’t retreat, but guarding there all day wasn’t a solution, he always felt that something bad was going to happen, but when something happened, no one discussed it, it really annoyed him.
Song Yi Han, on the other hand, believed that his enemies were afraid, so he hid himself and urged Li Zilong to think of a few moves to lure them out.
Qu Yang County, dark. Today, not even the moon showed up, and a group of people wearing camouflage clothes were slowly moving forward.
In front of the group was actually a tiger.
At the beginning, everyone was trying to persuade Xu Bao that this was a way to escape. They wanted to find weak spots where the enemy could break out. It was already good enough that they could get out, but why did they have to bring an animal with them?
However, Xu Bao refused to budge no matter what.
Her big brother was no longer by her side, and now she was about to lose her big cat. She sat there tearfully, refusing to leave even if she didn’t bring her big cat with her.
The tiger seemed to be quite understanding of human nature. Seeing Xu Bao’s sad appearance, it cutely snuggled up to her feet, patting Xu Bao’s leg from time to time with its hairy claws.
Xu Bao said, “Look, the big cat is very obedient. He doesn’t bite people or make noise. Let’s take it with us.”
In the end, he had no other choice. Actually, Xu Bao’s fifty subordinates also liked big cats. After all, when it was still a little kid back then, it was caught by them. Especially Erhu, who was responsible for taking care of big cats.
In the end, everyone voted together. In the end, most of the people still agreed to bring the big cat with them.
Tiger’s senses were very keen, so he slowly walked in front while the soldiers followed behind him. As long as they could break through the encirclement, they would have a chance to live. In the deep mountains, in the forest, it was a place these soldiers were used to.
At this moment, these soldiers were very glad. Besides letting them catch rabbits during the day, they also let them catch wild ducks in the middle of the night to collect dew in the morning. Xu Bao’s gluttony allowed them to be especially familiar with the mountains day and night.
It was already the second half of the night, the darkest time before dawn, and the easiest time to fall asleep.
There was a team of soldiers stationed at the northwest corner. As there was a high mountain behind them, it was unlikely that the enemy would run away from this place. Therefore, there weren’t many people guarding this place.
Suddenly, in the dark night, a pair of blue eyes stared at him, and the sentry suddenly felt awake. Heavens, he actually saw a tiger, this was his last thought while he was still alive, in the next second, before he could even scream, he was pounced on by the big cat.
The big cat was very agile. At the same time, a few sentries nearby had just noticed the slight movement, but were already taken care of by the soldiers who had sneakily snuck over.
It was mainly a surprise attack, so he couldn’t use a gun for fear of attracting attention.
Soon, there were less than a hundred people in the group. They slowly entered the mountain and disappeared.
It turned out that Wu Anguo had left behind a group of elderly, weak, and handicapped people. When the citizens left the city, Xu Bao asked them to go with him in disguise and give him a certain amount of money.
What was left were fifty soldiers, Xu Bao, Big Cat, Old Man Wu, Wu Zhong, and the Third Aunt and Wife.
The cat was very excited when she reached the mountain. It was a happy journey, not like escaping from danger, but like returning home.
The group of people did not dare to stay behind and continued to run up the mountain. Besides Old Man Wu, who was relatively weak and needed someone to support him, Xu Bao was fine. She would usually run around for a long time. Third Aunt and Madam were also very valiant. Third Aunt didn’t need to say anything. When she crossed her waist to argue with others, no one could surpass her in lung capacity. Third Uncle was small and thin, but he didn’t even need to breathe when he reached the top of the mountain.
It was soon dawn, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. The sentry who had replaced the sentry stood up to receive him. Upon seeing that everyone was dead, he jumped in fright and quickly woke everyone up. This was a war between two masters, and if something went wrong on his side, it would be a huge sin.
The soldier didn’t dare to hide anything and quickly reported the situation.
When the leader heard this, he was infuriated. In such an emergency, he had actually made such a mistake. He immediately sent someone to check out what was going on.
As a result, the scouting experts of the army saw that at most less than a hundred people had left the area, and guessed that in an important town like Crooked Yang County, with a division of soldiers surrounding the area, it was extremely unusual for there to be no sound from the inside. Now that the hundred of them had escaped, it must be that Feng’s elite troops were unwilling to surrender, but their subordinates could not talk it through, so they secretly ran out. Not enough to cause trouble! It was just a hundred people, but the most amazing thing was that there were footprints of huge wild beasts inside. It was very possible that these people would be attacked as soon as they came out. Their target was the armored troops inside! The little shrimps ran away, and when the town came down, they would take care of them. Perhaps they didn’t even need to take care of them, they would already be bitten to death by the wild beasts in the mountains!
Wu Anguo had a strong sense of unease in his heart. He decided to call his troops to retreat. Even though Song Yihan was unwilling and wanted to take advantage of the situation to give chase, Wu Anguo was his leader, so he still had to obey orders. After coming back, he naturally couldn’t hesitate any longer. He would leave at night, and as soon as the sun rose he would be able to see Qu Yang County. He was extremely excited, and finally understood why he wanted to return home so badly.
Suddenly, a deafening blast … Thick smoke rose up from Crooked Yang County. After a night of travelling, Wu Anguo, who was about to reach home, stared fixedly with unmoving eyes …
