Chapter 2o1

The same trick repeats itself—the ox and horse slaughter the city

"how so?"

Through the telescope, Tom Hannis soon discovered the predicament of his subordinates, and suddenly a trace of cold sweat broke out on his head. Just now, two consecutive attacks, his soldiers were blown up by a 1uàn when they first entered the trench. Even if there were some left, they just rushed to escape. They didn't notice that the first trench was so deep. He was far away, and because he lost nearly a battalion of troops one after another, he was extremely angry, and even more so. But he didn't expect that he had fallen into the other party's hands because he didn't pay attention.

"General, what should I do? You must find a way, we must rescue them." The officers on the side shouted in a hurry. They lost one company and two more companies. Now another company soldiers are trapped in the first trench. They cannot advance, retreat, retreat, and retreat. They really cannot bear it.

"Architecture, artillery, let artillery fire, suppress the Chinese, and create opportunities for our people to retreat."

"There are only six artillery shells left. How can I suppress the Chinese?"

The officers said and said something, but they couldn't think of any way. They could only watch their colleagues being pressed into the trench deeper than others.

"Grenadiers, do we have grenades?" Tom Hannis suddenly shouted loudly.

"Grenadier?"

The people nearby were stunned and then understood, but it was useless to understand, because they soon thought of the composition of their own team: infantry, artillery, and even cavalry dismounted, but there were no grenades. Moreover, even if there were grenades, it was useless, because they did not even have grenades.

"Damn." As the commander, Tom Hannis soon thought of his own problem. He immediately changed his mind, "Immediately, tell the soldiers in front of him, pile up the bodies of the soldiers who died in the trench and step on the bodies and attack the enemy."

"General—" Everyone was shocked. They fought while stepping on the corpses? And it was the corpses of the soldiers who had just died. How could they feel?

"Go now," Tom Hannis yelled.

"yes"

"Send another company to attack the Chinese positions. We must provide support to the people ahead and make the enemy unable to react."

"yes."

...

The seventh attack of the US military came. While the attack was taking place, the soldiers were still shouting. However, just as the US soldiers in the first trench endured the discomfort in their stomachs and began to get tired of the body, bursts of wine came from opposite them.

"liquor?"

The soldiers couldn't believe that the Chinese were still drinking at this time?

However, they soon realized that the Chinese were not drinking, they were just throwing wine...or lit bottles of wine that were on fire.

Spiritual Bomb

A real weapon that has been used on movie screens many times. Guo Jinzhang used it at this time... He originally wanted to use grenades. You know, grenades appeared very early. As early as the 15th century, grenades loaded with black fire yào appeared in Europe. In the 17th century, a large number of grenades appeared in Europe for field battles. However, grenades were mainly used for castle offensive and defensive wars. Therefore, with the development of guns and cannons and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive wars, grenades were greatly treated coldly, and even disappeared in many countries. The encounter of exclusive troops naturally led to the cold future of grenades. There was basically no market for grenades in the 19th century, and even Guo Jinzhang was unable to find them even if he wanted to find them. In desperation, he naturally thought of another use of wine bottles. He used this thing in Denver, but now he is becoming more and more skillful.

At this moment, under his order, the Chinese workers almost threw away the amount of alcohol consumed by San Francisco citizens throughout the day, and the result was that the first trench suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire.

...

The seventh group of American soldiers attacked were frightened and screamed.

The fragrance, and the fire people who rushed out of the trench like crazy, kept stirring their nerves.

They retreated, and retreated several times faster than when they came. Then, they watched their comrades screaming and dying in the fire.

There was silence on the battlefield.

...

"I swear, I will definitely not go to war with those Chinese people, I will definitely not."

Sacramento, Police Chief Green kept talking to himself, as if this could give him courage. But, with those waves of

The fragrance turned into burnt smell, and the howlings gradually disappeared, but he felt more and more that his body was softer. If it weren't for the support of the people around him, he would probably have sat directly on the ground.

"Mr. Turner, has China been so cruel all the time?" The MP wearing monocle glasses performed worse. He had just vomited several times and finally recovered. He immediately looked at the mustache beside him, as if he was asking for help.

"I think..." Turner's face was also pale, but he was pretty good. He took out a handkerchief from his body to cover his mouth and nose, and hesitated for a while, "they should just be using all the weapons they can find... just like they used cattle and horses to attack Denver. It's not that they didn't want to participate in the attack themselves, but because they lacked weapons and did not want to add too much casualties to themselves."

"Do you think we can win?" Green asked suddenly again.

"The General Hannis failed to exert the advantage of the 6th Army. Don't be anxious when facing these Chinese people. The more anxious you are, the more likely you will fall into their trap," Turner sighed. "And their leader is a guy who is good at scrutinizing people's hearts. I have seen one or two militiamen who have worked with them. It is said that this guy seems to be able to calculate every move of his opponent... and then defeat his opponent with unexpected means. General Hannis was too careless."

"What should we do?" asked Monoliths again.

"Stay Sacramento, just like Denver did... don't attack, hold on, just hold on. They have no way to start," Turner replied.

"But how do we resist their weapons? If they set fire, can we still defend the city?" Green asked back.

"Perhaps we can send someone to contact General Hannis and let them surround the Chinese on the periphery." A member of the parliamentary's mind flashed and he shouted.

“Encircle?”

"Yes, surrounded. The Chinese are very small, and their supplies must be in the position. If we surround them, then in a few days, they will be hungry and exhausted..."

"They may not even be able to lift the gun at that time."

"yes."

"Hurry, send someone to contact the 6th Army on the opposite side. We need their help."

The heads and minds of Sacramento were excited. They thought that this idea was very good. They could kill the enemy without attacking. Who doesn't like such a battle? So, they immediately sent people to notify Tom Hannis opposite, but Green always felt something was wrong. He looked at Turner, and he happened to see Turner shaking his slender beard.

"What do you think of this idea?" Green walked to him and asked in a low voice.

"I'm looking forward to the answer from the 6th Army." Turner also replied in a low voice.

"6th Army?" Green was stunned, "Do you think they won't agree?"

"I don't know." Turner shook his head gently: "This idea sounds good, but I always feel that something is wrong. And, don't the Chinese people think we can surround them by the city? If they can't think of it, it's okay to say that they have always understood, and it's hard for me to believe that they didn't expect it. Since that's the case, why do they still do this?"

"You mean..."

"I don't know, I really don't know."

Turner shook his head and said that he hadn't thought of anything wrong with it. However, soon Tom Hannis pointed out their missing:

"You idiots, who do you think you are? Keep your city well and don't always look at these Chinese people by the side of the city. Surround them? You should be careful about the direction of San Francisco, idiots."

"San Francisco direction?"

"There are still tens of thousands of Chinese people there..."

The proposal to surround was rejected, and because there was a stronger Chinese around him, the heads of Sacramento also transferred some of the personnel originally intended to be used to prevent Guo Jinzhang and others to other directions, and dispatched some people from the city to strengthen the patrol power... The front view of San Francisco is still there, and they do not want their home to become the second city occupied by the Chinese. And while they were busy, the battlefield was unexpectedly calm: the flames in the first trench gradually extinguished, and bursts of burnt smells came out. The Chinese used a trench to cover their mouths and noses, threw the bodies of the American soldiers on the ground, and then retreated to the second trench. Seeing this scene, Tom Hannis also sent his men, holding white flags, and transported the bodies back to their place.

Then, the two sides began to confront each other.

In less than two hours, Tom Hannis, who had lost a battalion, maintained his absolute calmness and did not attack any more. Similarly, the Chinese did not make any provocative moves. They just silently repaired their positions.

It was like this until dusk.

In the distance, smoke rose...

"Jin Zhang, Han Hu and the others have arrived at the designated location."

"Signal."

At a certain bend in the third trench, he received a reminder from Li Asheng. Guo Jinzhang looked up at the smoke pillars rising in the northeast and immediately ordered.

"Okay." Li Asheng yinyin smiled and immediately went to find someone. However, Huang Sande, who had been kept by them, felt puzzled by their actions. Seeing that Guo Jinzhang had to observe the movements of the enemy, he simply followed Li Asheng.

"Brother Sheng, who do you mean? What's the designated position?"

"Han Hu is the group who left us when he first left the city. They have now reached the planned position and will attack the US military as planned." Li Asheng replied.

"How do you know they are here?" Huang Sande said, "Telecom?"

"Telecom? Humph, the telegram was immediately intercepted. Although those white people were very little, they could not know what we were talking about, but we still couldn't bet on this situation, and we didn't have any radio officers. What if the white people I found were playing tricks, wouldn't it be a scam for everyone? So, I used wolf smoke." Li Asheng pointed to the condensing smoke pillar and said.

"Wolf Smoke?" Huang Sande was stunned and turned his eyes to look at the straight up Yanzhu, "Then why are you sure that it was ours?"

"Of course there are rules, it's not the cigarette you put out. You'll know it after a closer look." Li Asheng said.

"Then, what should we do now? Ignite the fire and produce smoke?" Huang Sande asked again.

"Yes. You can't send a telegram, of course you can only ignite the fire and produce smoke." Li Asheng smiled.

"Then...the opposite," Huang Sande pointed to the US military position, "Will they feel something wrong? Look... the smoke just rose over there, and we also rose here. As long as you are careful, you will definitely find it strange."

"Haha, you're right. But what we ask for is his care," Li Asheng smiled again, "I wish they could see that we were communicating."

"Um?"

...

Li Asheng soon made people raise the same "wolf smoke". Not long after he lit the fire and started smoking, Mr. Turner, who had just returned to his residence and planned to take a rest, received an emergency notice from the police chief Green.

"What's the matter?" Because there might be battles, Turner lived very close to the city's edge, so he arrived soon. As soon as he arrived, he expressed his doubts. There were no guns or fires, and he didn't know what had given birth to Green so anxious.

"You see it yourself." Green didn't explain, but just handed the telescope and pointed to two smoke columns near and far away.

"This is……"

"Short after the farther smoke pillar appeared, a smoke pillar also rose from the Chinese positions." Green explained.
