It was raining outside, Lu Gong and Xiao Lin didn't go out this afternoon, Geng Zitang asked them to go back, Lu Gong was unwilling, and said that the rain outside was too big and the road was not easy to walk. Geng Zitang didn't say anything anymore when he heard them say this, but he didn't give up his desire to let them go back, he didn't want these two teenagers to throw their young lives in this battlefield of life and death that didn't belong to them.

In the afternoon, the West Island did not come to attack the city, and they rested outside the city.

The rainy days in May shrouded the surroundings of the county like a hazy painting, and the humidity in the air gradually thickened. At this moment, the wind was blowing, the trees were shaking, the black clouds were churning in the sky, and a rainstorm was coming.

It was dark. Lying inside the house, Lu Gong, like Kobayashi, remembered his parents.

Xiaolin: "Brother Pole, we didn't go back, will they miss us?" If I go back tomorrow, my dad will definitely beat me. ”

Lu Pole did not make a sound. His words were exactly what he thought. Xiao Lin saw that Lu Pole ignored him, and said again: "Or, tomorrow, let's talk to Battalion Commander Geng to send a few people to send us home, or not?" ”

Lu Gong looked at the roof beam and asked Xiaolin, "Do you want to go back?" Listening to Xiao Lin's hum, he said, "Then you can go back by yourself first." ”

Xiao Lin jumped up from the bed, lifted the quilt of Lu Pole, and shouted: "Do you really want to stay here to fight devils, the little dog is dead, and the more than 100 people in the company are gone at once, do you win the fight?" You, me, and Battalion Commander Geng, you didn't see what the puppy looked like when it was blown up by a shell. ”

His words infuriated Lu Gong, and he dragged Kobayashi to the bed. He lowered his voice and said to Xiao Lin word by word: "It is precisely because the little dog is dead, and the company commander is dead, that I will let you go back first, I won't drag you back, if you want to leave, you will leave me immediately, and ask Battalion Commander Geng to send someone to send you, you can think of it, useless things, cowards, afraid of death." Xiao Lin muttered: "Who is afraid, I'm worried about my father and them, if it is really Battalion Commander Geng and these national soldiers who can't win the devils, when the devils hit our door, they won't kill my father and your father, as well as your mother, and Sister Wei." Xiao Lin felt that Lu Gong was a little aggrieved to call him a coward and a ghost who was afraid of death, and he was really worried about the people in his family.

Lu Jian softened his voice and said: "Xiaolin, you listen to me, don't be like this if you are a man, since it has come to this point, no one wants to stop me, I swore that I want to be with Battalion Commander Geng's troops, and I want to avenge the little dog and the company commander, didn't you also swear by the side of the little dog?" Lu Gong tugged at his ears.

Xiao Lin screamed in pain, knowing Lu Gong's temper, he hurriedly begged for mercy, and said: "Yes, Brother Pole, don't, don't, don't tease me, haven't I heard others say that Japanese devils are like devils, with green faces and fangs, I don't think it's so terrible when I see it today, no, it's also two legs and a braincase, no, what's so scary." Don't worry, Brother Pole, I'll follow you wherever you hit tomorrow, do you want it? ”

Lu Jian patted Xiao Lin on the back and said, "With me here, don't be afraid, don't you know how to shoot?" Tomorrow, I will ask Battalion Commander Geng for one, and I will also ask for one, we are all majestic, I still have this knife, and I will also use this knife to hack a few fucking little devils to avenge the little dog and the company commander. ”

At this time, it began to rain heavily.

Someone was banging on the door. Xiao Lin got up and opened the door to see that it was Battalion Commander Geng, the signal soldier and Jia Mai who were coming, and he hurriedly told Lu Pole to get up quickly, in fact, Lu Pole had already sat up and was ready to get out of bed, he didn't know what Battalion Commander Geng was doing at this time, could it be that he was going to send the two of them back? If that's the case, how can you think of a way not to go back? Before Lu Gong could speak, Battalion Commander Geng spoke, and sure enough, Lu Jian thought, to let the two of them go back.

"Now? Right away? Lu Gong asked reluctantly.

"Yes, now, right now!" Battalion Commander Geng's tone was unquestionable.

"No, never!" Lu Zhu turned around and got into the quilt again, covering his head.

Camp Commander Geng shouted: "Let me in and send them both out." ”

When the soldiers came in from outside, Lu Zhan saw that the cow's temper had come up, grabbed the big knife at the head of the bed, put on a posture, and shouted at the soldier who came up, "The knife in his hand shouted: "Which one dares to come up, see if it agrees." ”

The soldiers froze in place and looked at Battalion Commander Geng. Xiao Lin also jumped on the bed and stood with Lu Gong, shouting: "See which one dares to come up, and ask Brother Pole if he agrees to the knife." Anyway, if we don't leave, we'll just stay here, Brother Pole, yes, no? ”

Lu Gong smiled at him: "Yes, it's just here, what to do with them?" ”

Battalion Commander Geng grinned, didn't look at the two of them, pulled out the gun on his waist, he didn't open the mechanism, and these boys didn't know, just pointed the muzzle of the gun at them: "I know you, and I know your father, if you don't go back to see your father, my gun won't recognize you." Believe it or not. ”

When Xiao Lin saw Battalion Commander Geng say this, he was anxious, and shouted in the way of Lu Pole: "Battalion Commander Geng, you won't really shoot, my father is the security chief." ”

Lu Gong pulled Xiao Lin to the side, held the big knife high, looked at Battalion Commander Geng and said: "I really didn't expect it, the first company commander gave me this big knife, I can't kill a devil but I will die in front of the brother of the first company commander, Battalion Commander Geng, can you do it?" If that's the case, I'm not convinced. You can all go up, and if you defeat me, Kobayashi and I will go back. ”

Battalion Commander Geng was happy when he heard this, and showed a subtle smile. What he likes is such a hot-blooded teenager. He slowly put away his gun.

He beckoned them to come down. Lu Gong and Xiao Lin looked at each other and got out of bed together, standing in front of Battalion Commander Geng. Battalion Commander Geng grabbed each of them by the shoulders, didn't say much, looked into their eyes, put his hands down, and led the soldiers to leave. Lu Gong and Xiao Lin knew that Battalion Commander Geng would not let them go, they hugged each other and shouted loudly, and after a while, they said at the same time: We want guns. Battalion Commander Geng said no way. At this moment, a tight assembly horn sounded.

Battalion Commander Geng told them to hurry up and get dressed and assemble.

The rain was still falling outside.

When they ran to the place where the soldiers were assembled, they heard the voice of the regimental commander talking at the city gate. Lu Gong looked up at the sky, and estimated that it was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon.

The regiment commander's voice sounded: "Shangfeng order, our regiment will all withdraw from the county tonight, there is only one purpose, in order to preserve the combat strength of our national army, everything is to defend Chongqing, to defend our chairman, and also to leave our fighting strength for the realization of a full-scale war of resistance in the future. ”

Battalion Commander Geng ran up and saluted the regiment commander: "Regiment commander, our battalion has asked to stay and block the enemy. The regimental commander did not agree. said: "Soldiers must do what they want, and it is the duty of soldiers to obey military orders, and now while the devil is still resting, Han Xiaocheng passed on my order and ordered the whole regiment to withdraw from the county seat." ”

As he walked towards the city gate, Battalion Commander Geng said to the regiment commander, "What about the people in this city? The head of the regiment said: "I can't control it, most of the people in the city have gone out, and now there are some old stubborn people who don't want to go out of the city, saying that they will die here, saying that they are ordinary people, and the devils will not do anything to them." I can only listen to them, let them stay in the city, and leave it to their fate. ”

Battalion Commander Geng took the initiative to ask: "No, the devil kills people without blinking, let our battalion stay and take these people out of the city." Seeing that Battalion Commander Geng insisted on this, the regiment commander agreed, telling him to catch up with the large army as soon as possible after the task was completed. Battalion Commander Geng said he knew. Lu Pole and Xiao Lin asked to be with Battalion Commander Geng, and Battalion Commander Geng wanted them to go with the regiment commander, but seeing that they were resolute, he left them behind, and took the soldiers and Lu Pole and they urged them to leave the city from house to house.

Han Xiaocheng said hello to Battalion Commander Geng and left with the regiment commander, saying that he would see him at the factory cellar ferry.

In a moment, a road outside the city gate was crowded with a stream of soldiers and civilians, moving in the direction of the south in the gray rain.

Lu Gong and Xiao Lin followed closely behind Battalion Commander Geng with this flow of people, their faces condensed. Some of the soldiers began to grumble, muttering some resentment to each other.

Soldier A: "What kind of battle were you fought?" If the city is not guarded, it is not worth it to give it to the devil like this. ”

Soldier B: "This was not the case at all when Lao Tzu was fighting devils in his hometown, it was really beating to the death, and the barrel of the gun was red." ”

Soldier C: "That's it, we are going to run away without firing a few shots here, if we knew this, it would be better to let the company commander withdraw with us." ”

Soldier Ding: "Where are we going?" ”

"It doesn't matter where he goes, as long as he can live." A soldier named "Fritters" picked up in confusion. Battalion Commander Geng listened and didn't make a sound, he knew that at this time, of course, he wanted to let these soldiers survive, otherwise the regiment commander would not let them withdraw from the position, let them survive Maybe there would be a bigger battle waiting for them, just thinking like this, but until now the true intention of Shangfeng to let them retreat The regiment commander did not tell him. He looked at the watch in his hand, looked at the sky, and said: "Where else can I retreat, Anxiang has been lost, Huarong has long been occupied by devils, the national army there has been withdrawn, where we can retreat, we can only follow the regiment commander, brothers, hurry up, speed up, catch up with the regiment commander and they will talk." ”

Then it was getting darker and the rain was stronger.

After clearing the battlefield, Nishijima, who was besieging outside Nanxian County, looked into the city with a telescope, and it seemed to be quiet. Later, he went to the place where the devils were resting and told them to recuperate and check their weapons and ammunition. At this time, the signal soldier handed him the microphone and Nishijima took it and knew that it was Isamu Yokoyama when he heard the other party's voice: "Nishijima-kun, how is your situation there?" ”

"General, all the best."

"Very good, in order to realize our plan, open the passage to the south of the Yangtze River, prepare for the smooth capture of Changde City, and march into Chongqing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, you must destroy all the enemies in front of you at all costs."

"Hi. Rest assured, general. We are already outside the county seat, waiting for orders, ready to attack. ”

"I have ordered the rest of the troops to move swiftly towards you and assist you in clearing the outskirts of the enemy. Once you have conquered Nanxian, take a short rest, and then attack the scattered Kuomintang troops on the left and right roads to destroy the remnants of the enemy army, and now you will be given the task of taking Nanxian before dusk today. If there is difficulty, I will send planes to support your attack. ”

Nishijima thanked the general in his heart for his thoughtfulness. But his self-confidence led him to say something like this: "General, there is no need for planes to support, let them attack the enemy army that needs to be attacked the most, the enemy army in front of me is nothing but a rout." I promise to take Nanxian within an hour. ”

He gave the order for the cavalry to attack first. I saw the devil cavalry team jump on their horses, fly their sabers, and shout: "Charge at the enemy!" The slogan was killed towards the county seat, and the muddy water splashed on the marines who were not cavalry, and the devils completely ignored it, singing their military songs, and strode in the direction of the county seat in an orderly manner.

Nishijima proudly stepped on his horse and hurried to the front of the team, his eyes emitted a terrible light, and he smiled and said to Wang Yi: "It is my business to take the city, and it is your business to listen to my words to those Shina people." ”

Wang Yi promised in his mouth, but in his heart he wanted to kill the demon in front of him.

When the troops of the West Island rushed into the city, they met no resistance at all. Standing on the top of the city wall with a telescope, he could still see the flow of people outside the city in the drizzle and fog, which were the troops led by Battalion Commander Geng and the people who had withdrawn from the city, as well as some police and government officials. He called the signal soldier to talk to Yokoyama and told him about the situation.

"General, our troops have broken through the county seat at 4 o'clock this afternoon." He didn't tell him it was an empty city.

"The afterlife is terrifying. I'll take credit for you. Nishijima-kun, you have to take advantage of the victory and move forward to eliminate as soon as possible those Shina soldiers who may cause us trouble after regrouping in the future, and you can't give them a chance to breathe. ”

"Rest assured, General, I will not let them slip out of my nose, I will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, and sacrifice my father's heavenly spirit with the blood of all the Shina people." Nishijima's words with hatred made the Wang translator next to him tremble, and he couldn't help but shudder. But there is nothing he can do to stop the madness of these devils, he can only watch the development of events, which not only makes his heart ache, but also saddens that he is by the side of the devils but cannot result in these demons, he has no gun, Nishijima is not worthy of him, he only lets him be a translator. Nishijima hates the Chinese to death, and Nishijima never wants to learn to speak a word of Chinese, in his sense that as soon as he hears Chinese, he will be annoyed, which will trigger his sensitive revenge nerves.

Nishijima issued an order ordering the cavalry to pursue the retreating Nationalist troops outside the city without stopping, and to report to him immediately if there was any situation. The devils and cavalrymen were all murderous and morale-high, and they ran out of the city with their sabers held high, chasing after the team of Commander Geng.

With the common people following, the team did not walk very fast, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, which somewhat affected the speed of the march, which made some soldiers even more dissatisfied, and they asked the battalion commander to let them go by themselves and leave them alone. Hearing these words, Lu Jian was a little angry, and he didn't wait for Battalion Commander Geng to speak: "What are you soldiers for, don't you just eat military rations and don't fight devils?" Which of the military rations was given to you, and not these ordinary people gave it to you? If you don't protect them, who are you going to protect? ”

The fritters grabbed Lu Pole's collar, glared and said, "Stinky boy, looking for death, you fucking turtle cub, what do you know, ah, with these old things, it's strange if you don't drag us to death, if you want to find death, look for death, you just go and do it with those devils." Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu's blessing to eat the army, what are you dragging here, showing off, didn't you see us kill the devil? Get the hell out of here. After saying that, he pushed Lu Gong's chest, but he didn't think about it, but he himself was pushed back by Lu Gong, and he took several steps back in the muddy road, and he fell into the muddy water inexplicably, and the embarrassment of muddy grass blades on his face caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.

Lu Gong didn't want to have a seizure when he grabbed him, but when he listened to the fritters' words, his face slowly sank, especially when the fritters wanted to push him down, while the fritters' words did not fall, he secretly made a hard effort, and bounced him back to the ground with the force of the fritters, Lu Gong looked at him, did not speak, and followed Xiao Lin They also laughed.

Some soldiers followed suit: "Fritters, fritters, get up quickly, keep fighting." ”

The fritters got up from the ground, wiped their faces, shook the dirt off their hands, and walked towards Lu Gong with a curse. Unconvinced, he continued to hit Lu Pole, but Battalion Commander Geng grabbed his hand waving wildly.

"It's really worthy of being a 'fritter', you look like you can't help but be windy, who can withstand it. Bullying a student here, which onion is counted? What kind of bird is it? When the devil is so ruthless, Lao Tzu will spare you. Battalion Commander Geng put down his hand and said to Lu Gong: "Pole boy, if he still wants to bully you, don't show mercy to Lao Tzu." ”

Lu Gong smiled, stepped forward and picked up the gun on the ground and handed it to the fritters, saying embarrassed words in his mouth, and the fritters were embarrassed.

At this moment, the communicator and Jia Mai ran over: "Report to the battalion commander, there is a group of devils chasing after you." ”

When the battalion commander Geng heard this, he ordered the team to move forward quickly, and then picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the county seat, and sure enough, a group of yellow troops were chasing this side, it seemed that it was not infantry but cavalry, and it was estimated that it was less than five miles away from here.

He called the company commander and platoon commander over and told them that they wanted to set up an ambush, but the terrain was too unsatisfactory, and the flat field was covered with waist-length rapeseed and golden stamens. There were some graves not far away, and Battalion Commander Geng thought that he could lay an ambush there, ambush the devils from the side, tell them that they could not fight, and retreat after a few blows, so as to lure the enemy away and cover the evacuation of the people.

This task was robbed by the platoon commander of the second company. When he was about to walk through the rape field with a platoon of people, he was stopped by Camp Commander Geng, he was not worried that the rape would be trampled on, but that the footprints left by the trampled rape field would be discovered by the devils, and he motioned for a platoon of leaders to go around from the side. A platoon leader was ordered to quickly run towards the graveyard, each finding his own ambush position. Battalion Commander Geng saluted them, and continued to chase the regiment commander with his men and people.

When Battalion Commander Geng found that Lu Gong and Xiao Lin were missing, they had already gone far away. It turned out that they took advantage of Camp Commander Geng's unpreparedness, slipped out of the team, and ran to the place where a platoon leader set up an ambush.

"Why are you here? Who asked you to come? Battalion Commander Geng? "The long line looked ugly.

Lu Gong was excited, nodded and shook his head, looking at the big knife in his hand.

"If you don't obey orders and run here without permission, this is called desertion." The fritters are also in this row. When he saw them, he counted them down, "The deserter will be killed." He made a neck wipe gesture and smirked at them.

"We're not soldiers, you know? It's not that easy to kill your head. Lu said to the fritters.

Xiao Lin followed and shouted yes, yes, yes, we are not soldiers.

Lu Gang: "When we kill the devils, let's see who is the soft egg and who is the deserter?" ”

"I said you kid, don't look at my body, it's still okay for Lao Tzu to kill a few devils, the gun in Lao Tzu's hand is not vegetarian." Unconvinced, the fritters slapped the gun in their hands.

"Get down for me, I want to expose my target. The first little devil hit you was you. A platoon leader shouted. He didn't let Lu go away, he knew the temper of the two boys, but there was no way to stay here, there was no gun in his hand, he called a warrior, took out two grenades from his hand, and told them both how to use them.

"Platoon leader, it's almost dark now, if you can't win, there is a forest behind, I'm familiar with it here, take a shortcut, I'll take you to wait for him in front of Camp Commander Geng." Lu said in the ear of a long row. The platoon leader looked behind him and saw that there was indeed a forest, and after listening to Lu Gong's words, he nodded, and then said to a soldier next to him: "Pass my word, no matter what, you must stand up until dark." We must not let the little devils pass in front of us. ”

Sharp-eyed, he saw a group of yellow cavalry running along the road ahead. He told a platoon leader. A platoon leader raised his gun: "Brothers, the little devils are here, listen to my gunshots, and beat me to death." When Lu Gong and Xiao Lin heard that the devils were coming, they became nervous and excited, clenched the grenade tightly in their hands, and grasped the pull ring with the index finger of one hand, waiting for the sound of a long line of gunfire.

Gradually, the devil cavalry entered their sight, a long platoon looked, there was no infantry behind, and the number of devil cavalry was only about forty people, and the gun in his hand slowly picked up and opened the nose.

"Hit!" The sound of the gun rang out, and a long platoon fired the first bullet. Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire.

The devils were attacked, a panic began to appear, and the horses began to riot, but the well-trained devils, after a few devils fell, regrouped the team. I saw that one by one the devils changed into a posture, all of them lay on their sides on the side of the horse, and there was not a single devil on the horse's back, and at the same time it seemed that they had found a long line of positions attacking them, and they all rushed towards them after a whoosh.

"Quick, fight the horses, fight the horses, a long platoon." After throwing out the grenades, Lu Gong and Kobayashi shouted to the platoon leader, and the platoon leader shouted along, telling the soldiers to all aim at the war horses and shoot.

However, the horses flew swiftly and rushed over the rape fields like lightning towards a long line of positions. When the fritters and a few soldiers shot down a few war horses and were about to load them for shooting, the devil sabers on the other horses had already cut them down on the grave without the slightest hesitation.

Lu Pole jumped up from the graveyard with his sword, greeted the saber that was slashing at him, went up, and slashed at the devil's waist, and the devil screamed and cut off his head, and died.

A scuffle unfolded at the grave. The sound of killing is everywhere, blood cement slurry, knives and guns collide, whether it is the Japanese army or the national army, if facing the enemy, the fearless wins, and the weak resist.

The warriors were as brave as tigers, fighting with the devil cavalry.

A platoon of long guns knocked down a few devils, a few devils saw it, and rushed towards him with red eyes, a long platoon of long guns fought and retreated, he didn't care whether the devils understood his words or not, and shouted loudly: "Little devil, come on, your grandfather is here." His shout really attracted the attention of some of the devils, who perhaps found him to be a leader, and ran after him as soon as he picked up the horse's head and chased him into the grove. The platoon leader ran out of strength, leaning against a tree, facing a dozen fierce devils and tall Oriental horses, covered in blood and dirt, he smiled, and raised his gun to his head. It was too late, but it was too late, and a devil rushed up and slashed at his hand, and his right hand fell into the woodland, and the gun was still in that hand. The long line of people turned their bodies in pain, gritted their teeth and stood firm again.

The devils laughed, and after a few words from the cavalry captain, one of the devils rode up and slashed at the left hand of a platoon long, and the blood oozing out flowed on the dead leaves on the ground, slowly dispersing with the rain in all directions. Before the devil could stop, another devil rushed towards the long line of screaming in pain with his saber in swing, his chest was cut, but he was still standing. The cavalry captain waved his hand again, and a devil shouted and rode forward, and with a wave of his knife, a long line of necks rolled down to a dead leaf, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was still glaring at the murderous little devils.

A platoon of long bodies fell down heavily. When the devil saw that he was dead, he slew him to the grave.

Seeing that Xiao Lin had no weapons to defend himself, Lu Jian quickly ran to a tree and cut off a branch and handed it to Xiao Lin, "Don't be afraid, you just have to fight the horse, you know?" Also, don't take half a step away from me, you hit the horse's leg and I will cut the devil. Xiao Lin has been following him, and it is really effective to follow Lu Gong's method. In this way, Xiao Lin bent over or hit the horse's legs lying in the mud, and the horse threw the devil off in pain, and Lu Pole made up for him, and they killed five or six devils, and when they were about to kill, they saw the devils forcing a long row into the woods, and saw the devils swinging their knives one by one to attack a long row, and saw the sad scene of a long row of long bodies separating their heads, Lu Pole screamed and ran towards the woods after cutting down a devil, and Xiao Lin followed him closely.

However, the group of little devil cavalry galloped from the woods with the satisfaction of a victor, and before Lu Gong, Xiao Lin and some of the soldiers could react, they were surrounded by the devils who rushed up from front to back.

They were crowded together, Lu Pole held the big knife in both hands, and Xiao Lin snuggled up to Lu Pole tightly, they were not afraid, they had experienced a second battle, and they had no timidity. The surrounding devil cavalry circled in front of them, circling them in a rape field like watching a strange monkey trick.

"What to do? Brother Pole. Kobayashi asked softly.

"What else can I do, there is nowhere to run, I can only fight with the devil." Lu Gong replied, and the others also said loudly: "Fight with the devil!" “

Just when the devils were smiling and attacking them, suddenly a row of guns rang out, and half of the devils on horseback fell, and the cavalry captain looked at it, only to see a force of 100 people killing them, and the sudden change made him feel that he could not stay here for a long time, and left more than 20 corpses and horses and fled to Nanxian County.

It turned out that when the battalion commander Geng continued to walk forward with the team, he didn't notice that Lu Gong and Xiaolin had deserted, he and the communicator walked in front of the team, and they had been busy communicating with the troops led by the regiment commander along the way, but they couldn't get in touch, thinking that the signal was not good, so they simply came to a slightly higher mound on the side of the road with the communicator and continued to call, still no response. At this time, he heard a burst of gunfire, and knew that a platoon leader had encountered a devil, and he looked at the place of the battle with his binoculars, which shocked him, and his lens appeared Lu Gong and Xiao Lin, who were fighting with the enemy. Battalion Commander Geng was angry, and after scolding the rabbit cub of the dog day, he pointed the camera at the road leading to the county seat, and there was no trace of anyone. He decisively ordered the communicator to quickly inform the commander of the second and third companies, leaving half of the soldiers to take care of the civilians, and the rest to run to support the first platoon commander.

Just when the devil cavalry surrounded Lu Gong and they were about to attack, Battalion Commander Geng and they arrived in time, and after a row of guns, the devil threw away his armor and ran away. The captain of the cavalry called back the horses without a master, and the warriors fired at the fleeing enemy with another burst of guns, and a few more horses fell and a few devils died.

Battalion Commander Geng was scolded when he saw Lu Gong and Xiaolin.

Lu Gong didn't care about his scolding, and took him to the place where the platoon leader sacrificed, and everyone would cry when they saw it.

Battalion Commander Geng asked them to bury the corpse of a platoon leader with the rest of the remains, and after saluting, he sadly led the troops to the road.

"Battalion commander, there's a shortcut here, there's a river and a path through this forest, and the devils shouldn't chase there." Lu Gong said.

Geng Zitang looked at Lu Gong and them, only to see that their faces were covered with blood and muddy water, and pity arose. He followed Lu Gong's advice and led the team towards the forest, and sure enough, after a short walk, they saw a river, which stretched quietly like a white stream. By this time, night had fallen.

"Battalion Commander Geng, Brother Pole is right, there is our school in front." Xiao Lin said excitedly, "I can't walk anymore, I can take a rest there." “

Battalion Commander Geng didn't answer Xiao Lin's words, he asked Lu Gong: "Who did you learn martial arts from?" ”

"My dad."

"Your father? I don't think your father is a martial arts student. ”

"His father is so powerful, he killed a mad cow alone when I was young." Kobayashi comes alive.

Battalion Commander Geng was skeptical, you must know that everyone is afraid of the mad cow launching a mad attack. Kobayashi said that it was true, and that he had listened to his father when he was a child. One year, a cow in the village ran wildly and ran around, and no one dared to come forward when he saw people hitting people and encountering things. Only Brother Pole's father was bold and rushed towards the mad cow, and for some reason, the mad cow stood there motionless as if he was frightened by him. At that moment, his father jumped on the back of the ox and struck the bull head with both fists, and the ox fell.

"How did I not know, my dad didn't tell me, how do you know? You're bragging. Lu Gong raised the knife in his hand at Kobayashi.

"My dad said it, if you don't believe it, ask my dad to go." Kobayashi didn't change his words.

"No wonder, there are no dogs in Humen. Pole, your dad is amazing. Geng Zitang admired.

"Battalion commander, don't listen to his nonsense." Lu Gong said.

At this time, Battalion Commander Geng suddenly pulled out his pistol and motioned everyone to hide with his hand, and he saw a pile of fire in front of him. It was Huxi Middle School.

Geng Zitang took out his binoculars and looked at it, only to see a group of people gathered around the fire.

"Pole boy, look at it, do you know the people there?"

After Camp Commander Geng told him the correct way to use it, he looked ahead, and suddenly, he said to Xiao Lin: "Xiao Lin, come and see, isn't that Principal Duan and Cao Qingman, hey, why is my sister there?" ”

Xiao Lin heard Lu Gong say that his sister was there, so he quickly took the binoculars and looked at it, "It's really your sister." "Put the binoculars down," Hurry up, Brother Pole. ”

Geng Zitang heard that there was Lu Gong's school in front of him, and Principal Duan was also there, put away his gun, waved his hand, and led the team towards the firelight.

Suddenly, so many people came, and everyone around the fire was frightened. Principal Duan was calm, looking at these grizzled people in front of him, and then looking at the clothes they were wearing in the national army, knowing that they were national soldiers, he didn't see Lu Gong and Xiao Lin clearly, of course, Lu Gong and Xiao Lin's faces were full of mud, not to mention that Principal Duan didn't recognize them, even Cao Qingman and Lu Wei didn't recognize them. Some of the students huddled in a ball, looking at these people with guns who didn't know what to do, and they all gathered around Principal Duan and didn't dare to speak.

Lu Gong and Xiao Lin looked at Lu Wei's scared appearance, they thought it was funny, and wanted to call her, but they couldn't help it, what they wanted in their hearts was to see if Lu Wei recognized them, but Lu Wei was frightened and didn't notice that it was his brother and Xiao Lin in front of him.

"Who are you?" Principal Duan spoke.

Battalion Commander Geng smiled, did not answer his words directly, deliberately sold Guanzi, and asked, "What do you say, Principal Duan?" ”

In the firelight, Principal Duan looked at them carefully and said suspiciously, "National Army?!" ”

Battalion Commander Geng nodded: "Exactly." ”

Unexpectedly, Principal Duan heard him say this, and became angry: "What are you doing here?" Why are the devils doing here if they can't win? Look back, is Nanxian burned by devils? Did Nanxian not hold on? Why give up, once the southern county town is broken, you must know how many people will be robbed? What do you eat? Let these students have a home and can't go back. Anxiang can't hold it, Huarong is occupied by devils, are you still a national army? The battle of Taierzhuang, Pingxingguan and Xinkou is called courage, and that is called bloody fighting, what an exciting thing. But you have come here, but so many national troops can't even hold a small city, I am ashamed of your national army, ashamed. ”

Battalion Commander Geng and the soldiers were speechless, but none of them lowered their heads, quietly raising their chests and listening to Principal Duan's grievances.

"Principal Duan, it's inconvenient for me to say more here, we can't help it, everything has to obey orders, this is the duty of our soldiers, give up Nanxian, I, and these brothers don't want to do this, and they don't want to do this." After listening to Principal Duan's generous speech, Camp Commander Geng was also unusually uneasy.

Lu Gong stepped forward, "Principal Duan, I'm Lu Gong, and he's Li Xiaolin." ”

Principal Duan took a closer look, and it was really the two of them.

"Lupole? Li Xiaolin? Is that you? How did you end up here? How did you become like this, covered in blood and mud? ”

Geng Zitang was about to speak, but Lu Wei rushed out of the crowd, walked forward to look at them, and then saw that it was really his brother Lu Pole and Xiao Lin, and immediately ran forward with joy, hugged Lu Pole, and cried and called his brother, "Brother, why are you here, my father and mother are so anxious to die, I haven't gone back for a day, and I am looking for you everywhere, Cao Qingman and I also came to look for you, thinking that you came to school." Brother Man, come on, my brother and Brother Xiaolin are here. ”

Cao Qingman walked over and looked at them carefully, stabbed the two of them and hugged them again, and said, "It's okay now, you're all here, that's it, I can go back to the errand, your father and mother want me to come out to find you, and your sister will also come with you, you are not there when you arrive at the school, Principal Duan said that I didn't see you here." ”

"Let's go fight the little devils." Kobayashi said with a look of great spirits.

"Really? Alas! Cao Manqing shook his head regretfully.

"What? Not convinced? Look at us, and then look at the knife of Brother Pole. Xiao Lin wanted to continue to say that he was pulled away by Lu Pole, and some classmates surrounded him and asked questions non-stop.

Principal Duan chatted with Camp Commander Geng.

"Principal Duan, it's not safe here, you better take these students with you."

"It's not easy to walk at night, so I'm going to go south before dawn tomorrow, to Hanshou or Yiyang, I heard that it's safer there." These students have no relatives to vote for here, and it is difficult to find help from the county government, and I, as the principal, I have to ensure their safety, but I am not worried about you coming. ”

Principal Duan's words made Camp Commander Geng listen to it really not a taste, he remembered that he was far away from home to avoid the killing of devils, and now in this beautiful and picturesque Jiangnan, he will experience an unpredictable disaster, whether this disaster will happen, he doesn't know, but one thing is from his heart must be to protect them, but everything is unpredictable, the devil's vigorous killing is by no means so easy to deal with, he shuddered when he thought of these people if they fell into the hands of devils.

"Principal Duan, just now we took away the devil's cavalry, and we also lost more than 20 brothers, it is estimated that tomorrow the devil will come to retaliate, I think you should take advantage of the darkness, the farther away from the county seat, the better, or, find a big family, let these children rest and sleep."

"Are you coming with us?"

"No, there are a lot of us, just take a break in these classrooms, first, we can wash our bodies, and second, if the devil comes, we can resist for a while."

Principal Duan heard Geng Zitang say this, thought about it and agreed, and hurriedly beckoned the teachers and students to bring their luggage and prepare to leave.

Geng Zitang suddenly remembered something, came to Principal Duan's side and whispered a few words, and Principal Duan nodded when he heard it.

"Lu Gong, Li Xiaolin, come here." Principal Duan shouted.

Principal Duan told them that Camp Commander Geng wanted them to follow these students, and at first Lu Pole refused to agree, but Principal Duan said nothing to them: "I am the principal, you are my student, and I have to be responsible for your safety." Listen to me here, come with me, go take a shower and change clothes, and we'll leave as soon as we're done. There was no way, so they had to follow Principal Duan to the office, and Principal Duan asked them to choose a set of clothes and pants, and then entered the bathhouse.

When he said goodbye to Battalion Commander Geng and was leaving, Battalion Commander Geng stopped Lu Pole and asked for his big knife, Lu Pole was unwilling, and Battalion Commander Geng said: "There are no devils, why are you still holding a big knife?" If you're the only one who really runs into a devil, can you beat their bullets? A company commander. He was stunned for a moment, paused, and shouted to the second company commander again, asking him to go and take down the big knife in Lu Gong's hand.

Lu Zhan was helpless, so he reluctantly handed the knife to the second company commander, and followed Principal Duan and them, not saying anything along the way, still thinking about the big knife, his heart was on fire, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to his sister's questioning.

In this way, when everyone was tired in the middle of the night, the group came across a family.

It's a big deal. The owner was an old man, and when he saw so many people standing outside, he didn't say a word to let them in.

Principal Duan instructed the boys to put their luggage in the house, and then moved a few mats to each room, spread them on the beds, and the girls cleaned up.

Principal Duan chatted with the owner.

"Old man, why are you alone in your family?"

"My son, daughter-in-law and grandson are gone, and I have already gone to Yiyang or Taojiang Anhua relatives a few days earlier, and I don't want to leave this old house when I am old."

"This is not a place to stay for a long time, Nanxian County has been lost and occupied by devils, your old man will come with us tomorrow?"

The old man shook his head and said he wouldn't leave. He said: "It's okay, I'm an old bone, the devil won't do anything to me, but you still have these girls or leave as soon as possible, it is said that the devil came from Yueyang, from the water, if you don't leave quickly, it's too late." ”

Principal Duan pondered for a while, and then asked him if he had any boats to borrow, and the owner said that there were two boats, but there were not many people seated.

"It's good to have it, one of us can run the luggage, and the other can sit on the children and women, so we can reduce the burden and speed up the journey. Old man, we have rented these two boats, this is the rent, and when the devil is gone, we will send someone to return it to you. ”

The old man insisted on refusing to accept it, but Principal Duan still forced it into it and called those teachers to discuss it together.

"Now the only direction we go is to the south, and we can only get to Yiyang as soon as possible before the devil reaches the Yuanjiang River." Principal Duan said.

"We have too many things, and we have children and women, how many days will it take?" A female teacher voiced her concerns, having a child of her own, two-and-a-half-year-old.

"I have solved the problem of the boat, there are two boats, one boat to tow luggage, and one boat to seat female teachers and female students, we men take turns pulling fiber, it will definitely be faster." Principal Duan comforted everyone, "I will get up early tomorrow morning and set off after eating." ”

After listening to President Duan's words, everyone felt that this was the only way, not to mention that there was no specific good way to think about it, the lakes here are staggered, and it is impossible to do without a boat, and the boat is their hope.

They went off to sleep. After Principal Duan checked where the students were sleeping, he couldn't sleep and came to the river alone.

The night was quiet, the rain was thin, the water was flowing, and the leaves were trembling in the wind.

But they did not know that death was creeping near them.
