When it comes to mangroves, many people think of the red leaves in the mountains in late autumn, but this is completely different from the actual situation.The mangroves by the sea are lush vegetation that grows in the intertidal zone. They are mainly composed of mangroves, red eggplants and other trees. From a distance, they are a large area of ​​greenery. The lush canopy can even be used as an umbrella.

If you come closer and observe, these trees will look even stranger.Their branches are covered with breath roots, densely packed like fishing nets, while the main trunk is directly tied to the beach, and the lower half is soaked in water.Due to the ebb and flow of the tide, in the afternoon in this place, the water depth is usually below the knees, and all that can be stepped on is soft sand. If the cavalry mounts an attack on horses, it is purely seeking death.

The artillery bombarded far away, but it was not affected.But the problem is that the canopy of the mangrove tree is denser than the green carpet. It is both a good camouflage and a thick shield. Not to mention evil spirits. Even if the mentally retarded with a runny nose and smirk hides in, it will take several times the cannonball to kill it.To clear the enemy from the woods, the only method available is for infantry to go directly in and search for it.

Suo Zhongwu took the initiative to ask Ying to take his brother to the first wave.After Jidu stayed, he simply rejected this suggestion, and by the way, he turned back the other military officers.With more than a thousand of his men, he set up a buffalo horn formation around the mangroves, with two wings approaching the sea, artillery deployed in the center, and all cavalry dismounted, digging shallow trenches on the wet sand.Looking at this posture, it actually meant to stay and fight a protracted battle.

Things have indeed developed in this way.After Zhou Yanhong set up his army, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dusk.He left most of the troops to "monitor the enemy", and only sent three cavalry teams to perform tasks: the former battalion team returned to Majiao Mountain to guard the only way to retreat; the left team of the center battalion went to the immigration village to search for the ruins, and the rear team They went to Fengsui’s old site to find inventory. Although the mission locations of the two teams were different, the work they did was all in shreds.

However, they will not accept the general tatters.After Jiedu was left to the two teams, the original statement was "find all the oil that can be used, vegetable oil, big oil, whale oil, oil, and as much as possible." In addition, they have to Transporting all the thick wood, belts, clothing and ready-made ropes from the ruins, you also have to get into the battlefield.

When the refugees ran away in Houyangdong Village, although the refugees took away a lot of belongings, there were indeed a lot of heavy and slippery oil tanks left.The two cavalry teams have gained a lot: the left team in the middle camp found more than fifty cans of cooking oil, and the lighter whale oil that can fill half a bucket of pig's head; the team after the middle camp is in place in one step and found it in Fengsui. Two full barrels of fierce oil (petroleum), the villagers in Houyangdong did not even open the seal.

The fierce fire oil was issued by the county government and handed over to the immigration village to take care of it.But this thing is too toxic. It can neither be used for cooking nor used for lighting. As a result, it has not been taken advantage of by the villagers, and many drops are left.The iron-hooped wooden barrel with its contents weighed two hundred and eighty kilograms. The team after the middle camp chanted and finally pushed the oil barrel into the cargo compartment; other things that can be used in Fengsui also followed. Was taken away together.

Needless to say, these containers such as washbasins, crock pots, and fire-fighting sand buckets can't run away.In addition.In the spirit of not taking nothing, the team after the middle camp saw off even the bottom pillars, bundled six in a row, and pulled back into the army like a wooden platoon with a carriage.

The left team found even more wood. Houyangdong Village was first tossed by evil spirits and then bombarded by artillery. There were fallen huts everywhere, and a bunch of beams could be lifted out.However, most of the clothes, belts, and ropes were taken away by the villagers, and the rest were basically torn by evil spirits. In the end, more than forty people found only six usable ropes and a pile of terrible rags.After Jiedu stayed there, he had no choice but to fundraise in the fire brigade. He even untied one of his leather belts, which was regarded as a leading example.

An hour later, all the things to be used were finally gathered, and Suo Zhongwu also guessed what Zhou Yanhong thought.He did not wait for Jidu to stay and gave the order, and ran to the left wing of the Niujiaozhen to help, and helped unload the black oil drum from the truck.In the next forty minutes or so, six hundred auxiliary soldiers of the fire brigade, together with the same number of soldiers, worked as a carpenter. More than a thousand people were busy sweating on the beach.

The specific division of labor is as follows: the auxiliary soldiers of one battalion are responsible for sawing wood, and the auxiliary soldiers of the other battalion are responsible for scooping grease. First, bake and melt the fierce oil and whale oil in the vat, and then divide it into various containers; The soldiers were responsible for rubbing the ropes, using all kinds of tatters to make up a slingshot that was thick and long enough. After the auxiliary soldiers saw the wood, they would nail the nails and wind the ropes together to create ten large slingshots.

When these woodworkers are finished, the battlefield is already covered with yellow and white sawdust, and the air is filled with a good smell of wood.The completed slingshot was immediately carried behind the shallow trench by the officers and soldiers, and put it into the deep pit like a tree.At the same time, the sun also fell near the horizon, and the western sky was dyed purple and purple by the sunset.The mangrove forest located on the winter side of the shallow trench became dim and dull, and the waves rushed against the tree trunks, making continuous rumbling noises.

If there is no human intervention, the coast will soon be shrouded in darkness.But the fire team forcibly changed everything.The ox horn formation was already close to the mangrove forest, and the shallow trench had to be ten steps ahead. As long as a group of soldiers pulled the bullet rope, they could easily throw the container full of grease into the black and compact forest.What's the next thing?

Throwing a can with a slingshot is much easier than shooting a cannon.What's more, the brethren don't need to aim this time. Even if the can flies off and smashes into the sea, the oil inside will seep out and be sent to where it should be by the spray.Once people have no scruples, their actions will naturally speed up, loading-pulling the rope-letting go, ten slingshots are busy, making the mangroves full of "cracking" dishes.

If a restaurant owner comes over, he will definitely get a heart attack by the voice.Although Yaoxie didn't open a restaurant, he instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he sent three groups of flipper monsters to try to attack the horns.The dismounted cavalry immediately lined up their guns, pressed them in the water and couldn't raise their heads. The Cangtou team and artillery were not idle, and at the same time they began to get busy:

The former took off the ancient riding bows, just like when the elders were in battle, and threw waves of rockets into the mangroves; the latter filled the most precious flowering projectiles into the barrel, and the slow-burning fuse was basically not trimmed, and it took a long time to exit the barrel. It will ignite the charge to ensure that the shell will never air explode before it enters the water.
