Volume VIII 1272 The Great Evacuation of Setouchi

Next chapter

"Beware of cannonballs......" The brutal military training made Wang Chen and the others subconsciously act towards the danger, and at the moment when there was a rumbling sound in the sky, he threw the old man who was about to play with his life to the ground with a tiger pounce, just next to the dead body of the big scalper.

The rest of the soldiers also lay on the ground with their villagers in their arms, and in less than two seconds, Wang Chen only heard a loud bang, and his ears began to buzz.

The earth shook violently, and the earth and sand in the sky fell down with a clatter, and soon covered everyone's bodies with a layer of ash, and Wang Chen felt that his back was as if it had been slashed by ten thousand knives, and the stinging pain was incomparable.

However, fortunately, the body of the scalper shared part of the impact, and Wang Chen was only affected a little in the back, and the rest of the body was fine. When the power of the explosion had passed, I looked up and saw that a mill more than ten meters away had been completely destroyed by the cannon and turned into ruins.

Wang Chen stood up slowly, his brain was dizzy, there seemed to be thousands of cymbals ringing in his ears, he just saw other people's mouths moving around, but he couldn't hear what others were saying, and it took five minutes before he gradually came to his senses.

The crater was surrounded by corpses, including the fat owner of the hotel, the small worker of the tofu factory, and the second shopkeeper of the sugar mill...... Of course, there were also three soldiers in light blue military uniforms, who were Wang Chen's subordinates, and his brother who had been with him for more than two years.

"I'm cāo......" Wang Chen rushed over like crazy, holding his brother's broken body and pulling his neck in regret, it was a pain from the bottom of his heart, at the previous pre-war mobilization meeting, they also swore together to kill a few more Rakshasa ghosts, but at this moment, they didn't even see the face of the enemy, and the brother had already died in Huangquan.

Jiang Biao behind Wang Chen looked at the qi in front of him stupidly, he suddenly rushed to the corpse of the old scalper, and dragged the dizzy old man, and there were two big mouths on the front and back.

"Open your dead fish eyes and look at the dead people in this place! If you hadn't made trouble, we would have evacuated long ago...... You want your cow, you want your cow! You've killed so many people for this damn cow, you're a fucking murderer!"

The two slaps woke up the stupid old man, and looking at the unbelievable scene in front of him in his cloudy eyes, all the luck of the old man before was gone.

At this moment, he knew that he was not the luckiest, God did not have a special love for him, no god would bless him to take the old scalper away and then go to war, and no one would care if his property was lost.

It is the Rakshasa ghosts who rush up on the sea, not distant relatives, they will not discuss with you with a smile, but will only declare war without declaring war, whether you are a man, a woman, or a child, the first greeting is always the roar of a cannon.

When people are strongly stimulated, especially when they make a big mistake, in most cases, they will activate a strong self-protection mechanism. What kind of mechanism is this? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a scoundrel who will not admit his account.

"No...... No, no, no...... You can't blame me, it's nothing to do with me, it's not my responsibility......" The old man broke free of Jiang Biao's hand like crazy, sat on the ground, and kicked backwards, as if he was avoiding the evil ghost.

The old man's face was red, his face was white, his eyes were dim and dim, and he exuded a stupid light: "You are soldiers, and those who are soldiers have to protect us, or you will eat our food for nothing!"

"The taxes we pay feed you, you have to protect me, and they die because you are incompetent, and you protect us every time...... The responsibility is yours, and the responsibility is yours......"

After yelling, the old man turned over and got up from the ground, turned his head and ran into the mountain, this time he didn't even want the package he had thrown on the ground, and never mentioned his family's property again.

Jiang Biao had never seen such a shameless person, he rushed to the head and grabbed the bayonet and wanted to go up and stab him twice, but at the last moment, Wang Chen grabbed his wrist.

An extremely deep and muffled voice said, "He...... That's right: We eat the people's taxes...... We have to protect the people, no matter what, no matter what happens, the responsibility is on us!"

The soldiers around the "company commander......" burst into tears of grief and indignation, and they pointed to their brothers on the ground, unable to speak with their mouths open.

"The brothers died so unjustly...... Is it for these animals? Is it for these animals?"

Wang Chen wiped a handful of tears: "The big war is coming, look forward! Leave this mess alone! Evacuate the people immediately, and then move to the black hat mountain...... Execute the order!"

There was such an episode, and the evacuation work after that was no longer hindered, death was the best lesson, all the luck psychology in the hearts of the short-sighted people was crushed at this moment, no one dared to question the orders of the soldiers anymore, the livestock and large belongings of the families were thrown away, and all the citizens began to flee lightly.

The gunboats on the sea had rushed to a distance of more than 60 meters outside the fishing village, the steam gunboats were galloping back and forth in the bay, and the fishing village was full of gunsmoke and fire.

Behind the gunboats, sampans began to row forward with all their might, and the Russian soldiers, shouting their trumpets, began to rush to land.

Hundreds of sampans were crashing against the waves in the open sea of Setouchi, and the roars of the Tsarist officers mobilized before the war came and went, and the roars of the soldiers buzzed throughout the bay.

"Wash up on the beach and outflank the fishing village...... Capture the docks and attack Main Street...... God bless us!"

The soldiers near the shallow water jumped off the sampan like dumplings, and then rushed to the shore with waist-deep water, shooting at the fleeing civilians on land as they went.

"Ulla! rushed up...... The army boys have done a good job! The artillery continues to fire and open up a safe landing ground! Open the way for Your Excellency the Commander!"

One hundred, two hundred, five hundred, one thousand...... More and more Russian soldiers rushed ashore, screaming and outflanking the main block, and soon the strikers exchanged fire with Wang Chen's evacuation company.

The Marines had successfully evacuated the people of the city at this moment, and under the orders of the commander, the people fought and retreated, and soon got into the dense forest of Ebony Mountain.

With a loud bang, the heavy bank door was smashed open, and a team of wolf-like soldiers rushed in with bayonets, and they began to search house by house.

"Nobody! Nobody...... There is no one here either...... There was no one in the hall...... There was no one in the backyard either, and they all ran away......"

"Hurry up and find the vault, pry open every brick on the ground, and look for a secret passage, there must be a secret passage here!"

The Happy Bank became a large construction site, and the soldiers began to lift the bricks one by one with sapper shovels, and the roof smoke inside and outside the bank was tossed.

"Sir, you've found the vault! Come and see! Damn, these Chinese have sealed the vault door with cement......
