Chapter 123 Death in the Forest
Takeshita looked at it for a while, glared at Watanabe with a calm face, and didn't speak, at this time, he was in no mood to reprimand his subordinates Watanabe, although his heart hurt and he lost two more samurai. Yamada knew that Takeshita was in a bad mood, so he whispered to Watanabe: "Two more imperial soldiers died, and you sent them out so carelessly, killing an old man but catching up with two of our young soldiers, do you think it's worth it?" ”
Watanabe only bowed his head and didn't speak.
"Yamada-kun, please prepare to leave the city in advance." Takeshita turned to Yamada and said.
"When are you leaving?" Yamada asked.
"Three o'clock in the afternoon." Takeshita replied.
"Yes, Watanabe, let's go." Yamada greeted Watanabe Michi.
Takeshita once again picked up the binoculars and looked at Lu Gang and the others, who had already left the place and carried the four corpses in the direction of the outer village.
After staying for a while, he left the city walls.
Lao Yang looked at the bamboo forest, stood there silently and thought for a while, and then chased after the team quickly.
"Why are they here? Didn't you go to send American pilots? How did they end up here? "Wheat doesn't understand.
Lao Yang said: "Maybe he deserted and ran out." These two little guys really didn't deserve to die. "It's a little sad and a little regretful.
"My master too, why do you have to come alone? Why didn't I come with him at the time? Master, I'm sorry for you, it's all my fault. Lu Gang said with tears in his eyes.
"Alas, he was killed by the devil without using his martial arts, and the old gentleman was unwilling even under Jiuquan." Geng Zitang sighed.
Everyone fell silent.
"Zitang, I looked at the situation in the bamboo forest just now, it seems that there are traces of felling, I wonder if they are cutting bamboo to make a raft?" Lao Yang approached Geng Zitang and said.
Geng Zitang listened and said, "Really? Last time Nishijima attacked us, he also used a bamboo raft, so could it be that Takeshita also made a bamboo raft to attack us. ”
"No, we've all crossed the river, Takeshita should have seen us, what is he doing with bamboo rafts?" Lu Gang asked suspiciously.
"Their motorboats are gone, their wooden boats are gone, maybe they want to make some bamboo rafts for other purposes?" Geng Zitang said.
"What can it be used for?" Lu Gang asked.
"Are they going to run away?" Lao Yang said uncertainly.
"Run? Mr. Yang, are you saying they want to escape? Lu Gang didn't believe Lao Yang's words: "With just a few bamboo rafts, where can they escape?" ”
"That is, if they want to escape, they can go up the mountain. Why choose the waterway? Geng Zitang said.
"Mountain roads, they did not dare to walk, there were our partisans everywhere. Also, they are not familiar with the mountain roads here, and I am sure that they will not take the mountain roads, and if they want to escape, there is only one waterway. Lao Yang said.
"Yes, last time the God of Wealth came over, they all came by water, and they came by airboat, Mr. Yang, when will they escape." Lu Gang asked.
"How do I know, I'm not Takeshita's devil." Lao Yang said with a light smile.
"So what do we do? My master, they have to be carried back and buried, right? Lu Gang said.
Lao Yang stopped, and he said to Geng Zitang: "Zitang, you and Xiaolin take some people to the dock to have a look, find out the situation, and inquire about the movements of the devils." ”
"I'm going too." Lu Gang said.
Lao Yang didn't let Lu Gang go, saying that he would let Lu Gang bury the master first.
Lu Gang said to Geng Zitang and Xiaolin: "You go up from the river, there are woods there that are not easy to be discovered by devils. Also, Xiaolin, it's not for you to fight devils, it's reconnaissance, understand. Wheat, you take some men to run into the woods, put the bamboo rafts down the river, and lay in ambush in a hidden place not far from the dock, waiting for orders at any time. ”
When Wheat heard this, he hurriedly called a few soldiers to leave, and Lao Yang stopped him and told him to bring a machine gun and all the ammunition.
Lu Wei was going, Lu Gang glared at her, Lu Wei stuck out her tongue and stopped making a sound, she said to Geng Zitang and Xiao Lin that they should be careful.
Geng Zitang left the team and Xiao Lin took a few soldiers to the forest by the river and ran towards the devil's wharf.
When they were about to approach the dock, they saw that there were obviously more devils on the dock than they had seen before, loaded with guns and ammunition, and when they looked down, several large bamboo rafts were leaning side by side on the dock, and some devils were carrying boxes of things up, Xiao Lin said, it was ammunition boxes.
"Grandma's, the devil really wants to run? Do you still want to cross the river? Geng Zitang scolded.
Xiao Lin tilted his head and said, "Didn't Teacher Yang say it?" Maybe they want to escape, I see, Mr. Yang is right, look at them like this, they are a sign that they are going to run, ** not far from ten. ”
Geng Zitang said: "Xiaolin, then you say, where will they go?" ”
Xiao Lin didn't know, leaving his hometown, the farthest was here, he couldn't figure out where else this river could lead? He shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Look, that's Yamada." Geng Zitang told Xiao Lin.
It was indeed Yamada who appeared on the docks, and he had come to check on the situation on the docks. I saw him get on the bamboo raft, and after watching it for a while, he also tried the strength of the bamboo raft, and went ashore with confidence, when he met Watanabe who also came over, and he and another soldier carried a chair.
"Battalion Commander Geng, what are they doing with their chairs?" Kobayashi asked curiously.
Battalion Commander Geng looked at it and said affirmatively: "Lao Yang is right, they must be trying to escape, maybe it's the current thing." Xiaolin, go and tell Lu Gang. ”
Xiao Lin lifted himself out of the forest and chased after Lu Gang.
Geng Zitang continued to look at the situation on the dock with his eyes open. He noticed that the devil had changed the guard, and the devils who came to change the guard were carrying duffel bags behind them, and Geng Zitang was even more determined in his heart to escape the idea of the devil.
What to do?
Do you turn around or continue to stay here and wait for Lu Gang and them to come? Or go back and discuss a good interception method with Lao Yang and them? If Takeshita and the others got on the raft at this time, it would be too late to chase them, and at this moment, he saw Takeshita also appear on the dock.
When will the devil escape? Geng Zitang was anxious. With two soldiers around, how easy is it to hold back the devil?
No, you have to hold off these devils. Lu Gang, Lao Yang will definitely turn around to support when he hears the gunshots, not to mention that Xiaolin also went to report the news.
He said to the two soldiers next to him, "Listen to my orders. Prepare for battle. Kill the devils, and then blow up the bamboo raft and sink it, so that they can't run one by one. ”
The warriors were highly tense and aimed their guns at the devils on the dock. Geng Zitang turned on the bolt and reached for the trigger.
"Hit." Geng Zitang immediately shot at the devil on the dock.
In the gunshot, the devil was knocked down twice, and suddenly, the dock was in chaos, and Yamada and Watanabe heard the gunshots and hurriedly protected Takeshita.
They couldn't figure out where the gunshots were coming from, it was so sudden that Takeshita was pressed down on the dock by Yamada, and six eyes looked around.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, the devil machine gunner at the head of the city saw the sparks coming from the shooting in the forest, and he hurriedly shot at Geng Zitang in the forest.
A series of guns hit the tree poles in the forest, the skin was peeled, and the bullets were embedded in the tree poles, so that Geng Zitang couldn't raise his head.
Geng Zitang thought, it's okay, if you can't beat yourself, let the devil fight, he smiled and said to the two soldiers: "This is really a good place, the devil's gun can't hit us, let them fight, and when they are tired of fighting, we will fight again, hahaha." ”
The warriors were infected by his laughter, and they laughed too, lying on their backs in the forest looking at the sky like Geng Zitang, talking and laughing.
Their ease, however, did not dodge the bullets fired at the other side of the wall.
They didn't even notice the devil machine gunner on the other end, they had already spotted them, Geng Zitang lying on the ground, they were exposed to his gun, and the bullets all hit the three of them.
Blood poured out of them.
After a long while, Takeshita heard that there was no more gunfire on the other side, and he lifted Yamada and Watanabe on the other side and stood up, and ordered Watanabe to take the devil to search the forest to see if there were still New Fourth Army guerrillas alive. Then he said to Yamada, "Quick, you go and assemble the team, get out of here, the sooner the better." ”
Yamada hurried to the castle.
The sound of gunfire stopped Lao Yang and Lu Gang. Lu Gang said to Lao Yang: "It's bad, Camp Commander Geng, they are on fire with the devils." Mr. Yang, what should I do? ”
Lao Yang was just about to speak, but Lu Wei found Xiao Lin running over, and she shouted, "Xiao Lin is back, brother." What about Brother Geng? He didn't come back, brother. ”
Seeing that Lu Wei was a little anxious, Lu Gang comforted Lu Wei and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Lin may have come back to report the news." ”
Kobayashi ran over out of breath and told the situation on the dock.
"Go, go back, all the people go back to support Battalion Commander Geng." Lu Gang shouted loudly.
"Quick, put the old gentleman here first, and go full speed. I'm sorry, old sir. After saying that, he led the team towards the docks.
Halfway through, the gunfire stopped, Lao Yang raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop, he felt a kind of uneasiness in his heart, a premonition that something was going to happen, he was worried about Geng Zitang, and Lu Wei was more worried than that.
Lu Wei was so anxious that she was about to cry, she didn't listen to Lao Yang's words and stopped, but continued to run in the direction of the dock, which was worth it, Lu Gang shouted and Lu Wei chased after her, Lao Yang saw this, so he had to order the team to move on.
Under the leadership of Xiao Lin, they came to Geng Zitang.
The miserable situation in front of them made all of them unwilling to look at it, Geng Zitang had a lot of gun holes on his body, as well as many bayonet eyes, which were made up by Watanabe when he brought the devil here to search.
Not far away, there was another devil who fell to the ground on his back and died, he was Watanabe.
It turned out that Watanabe came with a devil, and Geng Zitang, who was seriously injured, laboriously fired several shots at Watanabe, who was running in front, and reimbursed Watanabe.
The other devils who reacted also shot at him at the same time, his hand was hit, his shoulder blade was hit, he finally had no strength to resist, looking at the sky in the forest, he smiled, and said Lu Wei's name in his mouth: "Lu Wei, I'm sorry, big brother can't accompany you." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the devil had come to him, and he stabbed Geng Zitang in a mess, and Geng Zitang sacrificed.
When Lu Wei saw Geng Zitang in front of her, she couldn't believe that this was true. However, everything in front of her was indeed true, and she threw herself on Geng Zitang and cried loudly.
Lu Gang and Xiao Lin were so angry that their teeth tightened and let out a rattling sound of hatred. How did it become like this today, so many people died, the master died, and now Brother Geng has also sacrificed, their hearts ache.
At this time, the wheat on the bamboo raft that was driving along the river led the team to see the people in the forest, and he let the bamboo raft come to the shore.
"Brother Pole, we're here." Wheat shouted, stunned by what was in front of him. He saw Geng Zitang.
He called Camp Commander Geng, but where could Geng Zitang hear his cry.
"Fight, you must kill all the devils. Teacher Yang, you can give the order. Lu Gang couldn't hold back any longer.
A soldier ran over, he was sent by Lao Yang to observe the situation at the dock, and he reported: "Report, the devil has gotten on the bamboo raft." ”
When Lao Yang heard this, he shouted: "Lu Gang, if you take people on a bamboo raft, you must catch up with Takeshita of the dog day and completely wipe out all these devils." Wheat, follow me, to the docks. Now is not the time to cry. ”
Lu Wei stood up at this time, wiped a handful of tears and shouted loudly to his brother.
