Chapter 24: The Siege of Mingyue Village (2)
The Japanese were completely unaware of the danger approaching in the rear, and Takayama Nagateru was happily chatting with a few of his subordinates, and from time to time he made obscene noises, and the machine-gun soldiers and several infantry were looking in the direction of the entrance of the village. Lin Junxiong commanded the soldiers who slowly approached the snipers and grenadiers, looking for a one-hit kill. Lin Junxiong clenched his fists, and the three of them rushed out like leopards and killed them with one hit, and after the snipers and grenadiers on both sides were eliminated, the Japanese army did not notice it at all.
Lin Junxiong and the three turned the grenadiers around, and the loading was aimed at the two Japanese machine guns and the three places where the soldiers gathered in Takayama Yongzhao, and the shells fell accurately in the predetermined position. Lin Junxiong took advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet reacted, and immediately ordered the second shell to be fired, and after firing, he quickly dropped the grenadier to change the direction and shoot. With intention or unintention, nearly 30 people of Takayama Yongzhao's team who became the target were quickly eliminated more than 20 people, and Takayama Yongzhao, who did not know the situation, thought that he was attacked by a large number of troops, and hurriedly retreated to the east of Zhongchuan Qingxiu with the remaining few people, Lin Junxiong and the three pursued dozens of meters behind, and after killing the three of them, they returned to the south to arrange Da Zhuang and Han Sheng to clean up the battlefield.
Da Zhuang and Han Sheng were amazed when they saw the more than 20 Japanese soldiers who had fallen horizontally, and the six Mingyue Village villagers behind them felt that these three people were like gods.
Lin Junxiong threw a captured sniper rifle to Da Zhuang, who touched the gun like a child playing with his beloved toy, with a smile on his face and a good mutter. Looking at Da Zhuang's expression, he couldn't help but laugh too, and soon he put away his smile and ordered: "Han Sheng, you take the six of them to send these two machine guns and two grenadiers, as well as these guns and bullets, to the brute bear; Don't be happy first, the four of us fought against two grenadiers to scare Zhongchuan from the side. Han Sheng, you tell Manxiong, let him choose a good position first, as soon as my side fires the cannon, he immediately responds, and hits all the shells and bullets out for me. ”
When Han Sheng told the wild bear that Lin Junxiong had led the people to destroy all the enemies in the south and west, and brought supplies, the wild bear jumped up, and when he looked at the grenadiers, machine guns, rifles, and bullets in front of him, his eyes glowed with green, and he shouted excitedly: "The boss is the boss, and I can't catch up with the horse." ”
The wild bear immediately passed the news to the team members, encouraged morale, and at the same time made arrangements, just waiting for Lin Junxiong to sound a cannon.
More than an hour has passed since Kiyohide Nakagawa was annoyed, and the team had only moved forward such a distance, and there were huge casualties. At this time, a soldier came over with Takayama Yongzhao, Nakagawa looked at the embarrassed mountain in front of him, and looked down on him a little, this Takayama Yongzhao became the captain of this squad by virtue of some connections in the military department, and he was proud all day long. But he still knew in his heart that this guy wasn't exactly an idiot.
Listening to Takayama Eisho tell him about the battle, he politely asked him to rest on the surface. In his heart, he thought that this guy must be exaggerating his own failures, and the main force of the "bandits" in the village should all be concentrated in the east, and where did the south come from a large number of well-equipped "bandits".
After calling the three surviving soldiers of Takayama Eisho's team over and asking about the situation, Nakagawa Kiyohide's brows furrowed, it seems that the situation is true, but going out to the south is Yuanfu Village, it shouldn't be. Nakagawa Kiyohide was wondering, suddenly two cannons rang out, followed by several cannon shots, and the sound of machine gun fire continued. He used his binoculars to see the sudden increase in fire in the village to the east, and suddenly seemed to understand that what Takayama Yongzhao said was true, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
Looking at the team of less than twenty people who had withdrawn, Nakagawa Kiyohide shook his head helplessly, and had to order the army to retreat to Genfuku Village, ready to accept the wrath of Captain Okakishi.
Lin Junxiong did not order the troops to pursue, and in this battle, more than 70 Japanese soldiers were killed and a large number of weapons and ammunition were captured, but two people were killed and two were wounded in the pursuing force. It was a big victory, but Lin Junxiong was not happy, after training more than 100 people by himself, he would be the seed of the Ryukyus anti-Japanese resistance, and one less person would lose a piece of strength.
After clearing the battlefield, the villagers of Mingyue Village also came out of the bushes to clean up their homes, and Lin Junxiong led the team to come forward to pacify. A fifty or sixty-year-old elder walked out of the villagers, and Lin Shouli hurriedly stepped forward to introduce that this was the village chief Xiang Zongming, and Xiang Zongming thanked Lin Junxiong for saving their lives on behalf of the villagers, and implored more than ten young and middle-aged people in the village to join the anti-Japanese team.
These dozen young adults listened to the six people who participated in the war tell about the war, and they all admired and admired this team, especially Lin Junxiong, and saw Lin Junxiong looking at them, they were very nervous, for fear that Lin Junxiong would refuse, and after Lin Junxiong nodded and agreed to join them, they hugged each other excitedly.
Lin Junxiong asked Dusheng to make arrangements, and then chatted with Xiang Zongming about the next step in the village.
"After this incident, Mingyue Village will not be able to continue to stay here, the Japanese army will definitely come back and retaliate frantically, Yuanfu Village is estimated to be bloody by the Japanese army now." Lin Junxiong said and lamented.
"Little brother, don't be too sad, the Japanese army is now strong in the Ryukyus, and you can't save everyone, just do your best." Xiang Zongming comforted Lin Junxiong, and then continued: "It seems that the nearly 100-year history of Mingyue Village is going to end in my hands, and we can only move the whole village as soon as possible. ”
"And where are you going?"
"Hey, there are Japanese troops everywhere in Ryukyu now, and there are no good places to go."
"Well, I have a place for you to take refuge, but I don't know, do you want to?"
"Oh, where is it? Where do we have any choice now? ”
Lin Junxiong was also sad for a while, and said slowly: "The place I'm talking about is Iriomote Island, which is full of primeval forests, as long as you go into the depths, you should be able to find a place of comfort." ”
"Okay, I'll discuss it with you right away, and then I'll tell you about the decision, after all, this is a major event for nearly three hundred people in the village."
Xiang Zongming quickly finished discussing with the villagers and was willing to go to Iriomote Island to start a new life, and Lin Junxiong asked Han Sheng to hurry back and discuss with Lin Jiarong to see what kind of way to send the villagers of Mingyue Village out safely.
Xiang Zongming asked the villagers to pack up their important things, and continued to hide in the bushes first, waiting for news from Lin Junxiong. Then he chatted with Lin Junxiong about the origin of Mingyue Village.
It turns out that the origin of this Mingyue Village is still very large, and Xiang Dehong, the son-in-law of the last Ryukyu Kingdom, is the brother-in-law of the last Ryukyu King Shangtai, and the son of the original village chief of Mingyue Village. This Xiang Dehong is the leader of a group of more than a dozen people such as Lin Shigong and Cai Dading who went to the Qing government of the home country to ask for help after the occupation of Ryukyu, and it is said that he has repeatedly asked the Qing government to crusade against the ** Japan and restore the Ryukyu community, but all the stones sank into the sea, and later died in Fujian, and his descendants returned to their homeland and moved to Hawaii in the United States.
Mingyue Village was originally called Xiangjia Village, and before Xiang Dehong got up to go to the Qing Dynasty for help, he renamed the village Mingyue Village, which means that the heart is to the bright moon and the heart is to the mother country.
Xiang Zongming said, the old tears were rampant, and Lin Junxiong was also concerned. The two chatted about some things in Mingyue Village again, and Xiang Zongming got up and prepared to leave to arrange the villagers.
Lin Junxiong suddenly saw a young face with some impressions among the villagers, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, how could this Japanese expatriate mix among the villagers? Quickly ask Twilight to catch him, and see that it is indeed the young man. At the beginning, outside Yuanfu Village, this young man angrily reprimanded the Japanese soldiers' animal behavior, which indirectly bought time for Lin Junxiong and their rescue. It's just that how could this teenager who claimed to be a Japanese expatriate appear in Mingyue Village, Lin Junxiong couldn't figure it out, and looked at the teenager suspiciously.
The young man was not timid, and took the lead in meeting Lin Junxiong's puzzled gaze: "Don't look at me like that, I was just for my own safety at that time, and it was only expedient to call myself a Japanese expatriate, but in fact, I am a native of the Ryukyus, and I have lived in Mingyue Village since I was ten years old." ”
Lin Junxiong looked at Xiang Zongming, who was about to leave, nodded to Zongming, and signaled that there was nothing wrong with this young man. Lin Junxiong let out a long breath, it was not that he was suspicious, just a simple mistake could put the troops in a difficult situation, and Lin Junxiong had to be cautious.
Xiang Zongming left, but the young man had no intention of leaving, walked up to Lin Junxiong and said: "My name is Shang Tianen, I am fifteen years old this year, I have seen your power twice, you are the hero in my heart, I want to recognize you as my eldest brother, and I will follow you in the future." There was no impunity in the words, but it was as if Lin Junxiong had been a big brother and got a bargain.
Lin Junxiong looked curiously at Shang Tianen in front of him, this Shang Tianen saw that he didn't worship heroes at all, and he was not timid, he had a mind beyond his peers, and he thought that this young man must have a secret that he didn't want people to know.
Lin Junxiong didn't want to find out the secret of Shang Tianen, so he smiled at him and said, "Just because I am the hero in your heart, I will promise you to be your eldest brother, this reason seems a bit far-fetched." ”
Seeing that Lin Junxiong didn't agree immediately, Shang Tianen began to be a little nervous, but said in a firm tone: "Anyway, I decided that you are my eldest brother, and I am from the Ryukyus, and you have just confirmed it with the village chief, I can still swear that I will never do anything unfavorable to you." ”
Lin Junxiong saw Shang Tianen's nervousness, turned his head to look at Du Sheng, and saw that Du Sheng waved his hand indifferently, and it was not easy to hit Shang Tianen, so he said: "The people in my team are all my brothers, and I also have three brothers who have formed a union, I agree with you to join the army, and from today onwards you are also my brother." ”
Shang Tianen was a little disappointed when he saw that Lin Junxiong was just listing himself as an ordinary brother, but after all, he had only met twice, and if he wanted to gain the complete trust of the other party, he had to take his time, and he secretly set a goal in his heart, he must be his kind of righteous brother.
Shang Tianen suppressed the loss in his heart, stepped forward and pulled Lin Junxiong and shouted affectionately, "Big brother." Before Lin Junxiong came back to his senses, he had already run to Dusk Sheng and shouted seriously: "Second brother." ”
Dusk Sheng and Lin Junxiong glanced at each other, as if they were asking, this guy, when did we get so familiar with him?
