Chapter 52: The Soul of the River
1
It rained, Sakurako stayed at home all day, and her heart was very chaotic, thinking of the cherry blossoms in her hometown for a while, and thinking of the happy times with Junko when she was in Japan, she really wanted to see Junko, but she couldn't tell Nishijima.
On this rainy day, Nishijima could see Sakurako's face and hear her emotions and changes from her words.
Nishijima said: "I'm tired of staying in this county, Sakurako, so let's go out and see, China's rivers are so beautiful." Tomorrow I will take you to the river to have a look, take a break, and feel the Chinese wind, it is very beautiful. He spoke lightly.
Nishijima didn't break his promise, and the next morning he really took Sakurako to the motorboat.
At his command, the motorboats all started and sped west on the river. The river breeze blew Sakurako's clothes up, and Nishijima hugged her shoulders tightly, and Sakurako felt so warm.
The scenery on both sides of the river bank is full of shadows in the early morning, and as a red sun rises, the fog on the river surface gradually dissipates. Nishijima stood on the boat, very angry, his eyes reflected an inexplicable light, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, turned his head to look at the sun behind him, and smiled. Sakurako looked at his smile, which moved her, she hadn't seen him smile for a long time, her mood gradually rose like the sun, her heart was warm, and she snuggled up to Nishijima-kun tightly, a kind of happiness like the waves rolling next to the motorboat for a long time.
Suddenly, the motorboat in front roared and stopped, and the following followed for some reason, the speed was fast, and in the emergency, the devil turned the rudder to the side, and after driving for a distance, they all stopped.
Nishijima shouted, what's going on? The devil doesn't know what's going on? I poked my head out and looked around, but I didn't know why.
At this moment, three boats came in front, and it was Lu Gang and them on the boat, all wearing straw hats, one rowing and one pretending to cast a net.
Nishijima saw it, saw the ship getting closer and closer, ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, and called Sakurako into the wheelhouse. He saw that the boat in front of him had stopped, and the people on the boat each spread a net and threw it into the river, and Nishijima breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was fishing.
After some exploration, the captain of the motorboat reported to him that the propeller was entangled in a fishing net, perhaps the Chinese in front of him had done it. When Nishijima heard this, his face turned red, and he said in a loud voice, these pigs, go, tell the machine gunners to destroy them all. Sakurako, who was in the cabin, heard this, and quickly ran out and grabbed Nishijima, saying, "Nishijima-kun, don't want it, don't want it." Sakurako said to Nishijima, they are not the New Fourth Army, don't you see that they are fishing? Nishijima-kun, I beg you, don't kill people indiscriminately. "Kneel down after speaking.
Seeing Sakurako like this, Nishijima slowly put down the war knife in his hand. Grabbed Sakurako and said, "As a member of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, I will always be vigilant, and as your lover, I will always protect you, you know?" Sakurako, you're the only one for me. I don't want anything to go wrong. ”
"Since you see me as your only one, you can believe me, Nishijima-kun, take a look again, they are fishermen, we can't eat fish without them, and the fish in our hometown are too far away."
When Nishijima heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene when he and Sakurako were fishing on the beach.
The captain spoke: "Do you want to go down and exclude?" ”
He closed his eyes and said softly to the captain, "What do you say? Go, let the people of China come over. "He didn't want to trouble his own soldiers.
The captain shouted to Lu Gang and them.
Lu Gang didn't understand them, but they knew that they were calling them, so they pretended not to know and continued to pretend to be on the boat with fishing nets and fishing lines. The captain began to shout again. Lu Gang didn't look up and whispered to Xiao Lin: "It seems that our first step plan has been successful. Xiao Lin, you, I, Nishijima-kun recognize, you tell Ruan Xiong and let them go first. ”
Xiao Lin nodded to Ruan Xiong next to him, and Ruan Xiong understood and rowed towards the boat on the West Island.
Jiang Yanzi caught up with Lu Gang's boat and said, "Captain Lu, you take your time and follow me, Xidao will recognize the two of you." After speaking, he rowed the boat and overtook Lu Gang, and the monkey on the boat said to Lu Gang, today I, a landlubber, also want to experience the taste of the water, and the boat ride is really delicious.
Lu Gang smiled and waved to them. When Xiao Lin saw Xidao, the enemies were very red when they saw each other, and they were about to draw a gun, but Lu Gang stopped him, and said, "Smoke a fart, don't miss a big deal." ”
Xiao Lin said: "The enemy is in front of him. Brother Pole. ”
Lu Gang said: "I know, don't worry, Xidao doesn't die today, he will die one day, I won't let him go." ”
"I won't let him go." Xiao Lin gritted his teeth and shook the oar hard. "Wait a minute." Lu Gang shouted, "Come, Xiaolin." After speaking, he grabbed the sludge from the water stains in the cabin and threw it towards Xiaolin. Xiao Lin let go of a paddling hand to catch it, and said, "Brother Pole, it stinks." Lu Gang said: "If it doesn't stink, let you paint it." You know, it's called disguise. After saying that, he grabbed a ball of mud and wiped it on his face, looking at each other, and they both smiled.
Nguyen Xiong was the first to reach the boat side of the West Island.
Yu Jiang bent down and stood on the boat, Ruan Xiong rowed towards the side of the boat in the West Island, and said Taijun, what are your orders? What shall we do? We're fishing.
Nishijima pointed his saber at them, and Nguyen Xiong pretended to be frightened and fell back on the boat, and the devils on the boat laughed. At this time, Nishijima turned around and swung the blade back, but Yu Jiang still pretended not to understand. A devil came and motioned for him to move the boat to the propeller. Yu Jiang was secretly happy, the devil was fooled, and he asked Ruan Xiong to row there. As soon as Ruan Xiong reached the stern of the boat, he went into the water and took out three "bamboo bombs" from a cage at the bottom of the boat, which was the method that Lu Gang thought of yesterday, and he was worried that taking it out in front of the devil would arouse the devil's suspicion. Yu Jiang also got into the water, took the bomb and dived towards the motorboat in the other direction.
After Nguyen Hung went into the water, he hung three sections of bamboo on the propeller, tied a rope to the oar, cleared the fishing net from the oar, changed his breath and sank into the water, and took the "bamboo bomb" and dived to another motorboat.
Jiang Yanzi and the monkey were in a boat, swaying left and right on the river, and it took time not to say, Lu Gang was stunned, and shouted loudly to the monkey, to work both sides, your master has taught you for so long, have you forgotten?
Jiang Yanzi knew that the monkey didn't know how to water, and it was better to jump into the water to grind time on the boat, but he was still some distance away from the motorboat, for fear of causing the devil to speculate. He had an idea and punched the monkey. The monkey didn't understand what Jiang Yanzi meant by beating him, and said to Jiang Yanzi that you are crazy.
Jiang Yanzi said, you hit me quickly, the devil is watching. The monkey was smart, and he threw away the oar and threw it at him. Jiang Yanzi rolled into the water. Mu Ran, a monkey who didn't know how to water, stayed there, came back to his senses, understood what Jiang Yanzi meant, and quietly took out a gun from behind him.
Lu Gang saw it, slapped his hand at the boat gang, and scolded the dead monkey, he didn't grow for so long. Xiao Lin knew that Lu Gang was saying that the monkey's technology had not reached the shore, so he asked Lu Gang: What should I do?
What else can I do? Knowing this, it was better to let Lu Wei row the boat. Xiao Lin, hurry, hard, the enemy who killed his father is right in front of him, I didn't expect him to really appear here, what an unexpected gain.
When Kobayashi saw Nishijima, he was so excited that he threw away an oar to get a gun. Lu Gang said, what do you want to do? I'll solve this West Island, as I said before, if I die and can't fight West Island, West Island will be dealt with by you, have you forgotten?
Xiao Lin said, what do you say? But I also have a share in revenge, Brother Pole. He said, Brother Pole, Nishijima recognizes us, what should we do? Lu Gang said don't worry, it's been so long, you may not recognize us, let alone us with this on our faces.
"That's right, the Japanese woman next to him didn't recognize us when she saw us like this." Kobayashi said as he paddled.
Lu Gang estimated that Ruan Xiong, Zhang Shun, Yu Jiang, and Jiang Yanzi had done a good job. He arrived in front of the Nishijima boat, and for so long, he had been trying to seek revenge on Nishijima. Today he was in front of him, and his hand couldn't help but touch his waist, but he didn't take out the gun after all. Teacher Yang once told him not to lose the big because of the small. All his energy was focused on the motorboat in front of him.
According to previous intelligence, there were three ships a day, but today six ships are coming. As discussed yesterday, according to the three ships that came in the past, each group will deal with more than one. If there are four ships, there will be one Lugang group to deal with. Six ships came, which Lu Gang did not expect. In this case, he asked Kobayashi to row next to the motorboat that did not have his own boat to go to, then jumped into the water, felt for the bomb and quickly tore off the fishing net, and put the bamboo tube on the propeller in a few clicks. Tie the string of grenades to it, and as soon as the propeller moves, the rope will be tightened, and the "bamboo bomb" will explode.
After completing this, Lu Gang turned around and dived towards another motorboat, where Jiang Yanzi was. Lu Gang came out of the water again, then sank into the river, opened his eyes and saw the situation under the water, then swam in the direction of Xiaolin's boat, and got out of the water with his head up. Lu Gang saw that the brothers on the boat were there, his heart was relieved, knowing that it was done, he quickly rowed to Xiaolin's boat and climbed onto the boat, just as they rowed past the side of the boat in the West Island, I saw Lu Gang quickly take out the gun from under the bow of the boat, turn around and stare at the West Island with hateful eyes, pull the trigger, and the bullet shot at the bow of the boat West Island.
2Sakurako kept looking at the boy on the boat, and when she saw Lu Gang jumping onto the boat from the water, the image in her mind suddenly appeared, a familiar figure of the boy. At this moment, Sakurako saw Lu Gang take out a mountain gun and shoot at Nishijima, and she shouted "Nishijima-kun" and hugged Nishijima.
She blocked Lu Gang's hatred bullet shot at West Island, blocked Lu Gang's anger for West Island, and intercepted Lu Gang's righteous revenge flame for West Island. Her body fell limply into Nishijima's arms.
A woman who had nothing to do with the war fell, her eyes closed, and the blood gushing out of her chest dripped red on the motorboat, like a blooming cherry blossom.
At this time, everyone took out their guns and shot at the devil when they saw Lu Gang shoot, and suddenly there was a lot of gunfire on the river, and the machine gunner on the command boat was knocked down into the river by Xiaolin, the captain of the motorboat was killed, and the devil on the boat was killed, leaving only the devil who drove the boat and the West Island.
The monkey said to Lu Gang, was it Sakura who was killed? Lu Gang said, it seems to be. Leave it alone, fire quickly.
Nishijima carried Sakurako into the cockpit amid the flight of bullets, and looked at her pale face sadly, tears streaming down his face. Enraged, he roared with his knife in front of him: "Charge at the enemy!" Before the devil's gun could be fired, the devil's motorboat exploded one after another as the propeller started and flew around. I saw five balls of flames on the river, and the devil was blown up and flew into the sky and fell into the water.
The boat in the West Island was not overturned as Lu Gang expected, and it still existed on the river. It turned out that Nguyen Hung was tying a rope, but he didn't tie it tightly because of nervousness, and when the propeller was spinning, the rope broke away.
This made everyone's eyes widen. Yu Jiang angrily called Ruan Xiong. Ruan Xiong knew that he had made a mistake, he jumped into the water without saying a word and went to touch the bomb again, Jiang Yanzi saw this, jumped into the water, felt the "bamboo bomb" and swooped towards the motorboat on the West Island.
Lu Gang and the others understood that Ruan Xiong and Jiang Yanzi were going to blow up the boat, and he told everyone to shoot and cover them.
Nishijima was stunned by the sound of an explosion, he screamed loudly, drew his pistol and fired indiscriminately in front of him, and when the bullets ran out, he picked up the machine gun and pulled the trigger. Nishijima was angry and angry, and he had never used a gun before, so he swept wildly for a while, and his gun stirred up a splash on the surface of the river, without hurting Lu Gang and them. Just when Nishijima was about to discard the machine gun, he saw Jiang Yanzi jumping up from the river, Nishijima turned to him and pulled the trigger, fired the last few bullets, threw the gun away, and ordered the devil to turn around in anger.
At this moment, Nguyen Hung, who was on the other side, emerged from the water and threw the bomb onto the motorboat with all his might, and an explosion almost knocked Sai Dao into the river.
Nishijima didn't dare to stay long, and his motorboat unit sank to the bottom of the river in the blink of an eye, and Sakurako fell in a pool of blood under his nose. He gritted his teeth, and without knowing what the pain was, a wisp of blood slowly appeared from the corner of his mouth, and his heart was cramping. When he was far away from Lu Gang and them, he came to Sakura's side, picked her up, and shouted in Lu Gang's direction: "You pigs, I must destroy you." ”
Unfortunately, when Jiang Yanzi jumped up from the water and threw the "bamboo bomb" at the boat in the West Island, he was hit in the chest by the evil bullet fired by the West Island, and also hit the bomb he thrown, with an explosion, a ball of fire and smoke, Jiang Yanzi sank in the water with blood on his face.
When Lu Gang saw it, he threw the gun in the cabin and shouted "Jiang Yanzi" and jumped into the river, and the young men jumped into the water one by one when they saw it.
After a long while, Lu Gang emerged from the water, only to see bright red water rippling around, and he shouted Jiang Yanzi. What answered him was the sound of wind and waves on the river, and Lu Gang plunged into the water again and searched around.
Jiang Yanzi couldn't hear it, he would never hear the shouts of his comrades, his head was blown up and his flesh and blood were blurred, and his body, no, was his heroic soul, the soul of a young hero who fought against the Japanese invaders, and the soul of revenge sank into the deep bottom of the river forever.
Lu Gang emerged from the water again. Except for the monkeys, all the teenagers who knew how to water searched for Jiang Yanzi in the water. Lu Gang paddled the water in the river in the blood water, and shouted Jiang Yanzi for a long time. There was no response, the heart was broken, really broken. Especially Ruan Xiong, crying and shouting: "My fault, Jiang Yanzi, I'm sorry for you, Jiang Yanzi, you come out to speak, tell me how to avenge you, whine." Jiang Yanzi, you say, you say. "Hands lapping the water.
Yu Jiang shouted beside him: "What a howl, you can bring Jiang Yanzi back with a howl, go down and find it." With that, a fierce man plunged into the water. Nguyen Xiong followed and plunged into the water.
Ruan Xiong's painful appearance made Lu Gang want to beat him in the water, it was not his fault, Jiang Yanzi would not die. But he restrained himself, Ruan Xiong was also in pain, and he didn't want it to be like this. Lu Gang didn't sink to the bottom like them, and he knew that Jiang Yanzi would not come back. He wiped the tears or water on his face, and in his grief, he swam towards a boat while crying, climbed into the boat and chased the oars in the direction of Nishijima's escape, paddled for a while and then stopped, picked up the mobile phone in the cabin and shot at the motorboat in the distance of Nishijima, until the bullets ran out, and suddenly fell into the boat and cried loudly.
Nguyen Xiong, who came out of the water, howled and slapped the surface of the water vigorously. The monkey shouted from the boat: "Brother Xiong, don't do this, Jiang Yanzi is dead." If I do this again, I, I'm going to jump. ”
Nguyen Hung was immersed in grief, entangled in deep guilt, and simply ignored the monkey's persuasion. When the monkey saw him blaming himself in such pain, he felt very uncomfortable and jumped down. Xiao Lin saw it and shouted: "Ruan Xiong, Ruan Xiong, what kind of person are you, the monkey has jumped into the water, he can't water." I'm calling you, do you hear? Nguyen Xiong, you are a crooked and a coward. ”
Ruan Xiong heard Xiao Lin's shout, his hands stopped patting the water, and in extreme pain, he saw the monkey sinking and floating in the water, and then he suddenly woke up and swam violently towards the monkey.
Xiao Lin turned around and climbed into a boat and rowed towards Lu Gang in the water.
Zhang Shun in the water didn't know where to go, hesitated for a moment or swam towards the place where the monkey pounced, Yu Jiang surfaced and shouted to the water: "Jiang Yanzi, you come back." ”……
