Chapter 121 The Tiger Falls in Pingyang
The short man died, the fat man died, and yesterday he was chopping bamboo with them, and the two teenagers he didn't recognize died, and a tall boy who didn't know where he came from also died, and he saw such a bloody scene with his own eyes early in the morning, and all of them palpitated, and the group of people began to stir, and the timid wanted to run, and the bold ones were stunned straight, but as soon as Watanabe's gunfire rang out, everyone stood there and didn't dare to move, although Watanabe's gun was fired into the sky.
Watanabe shouted, "Whoever runs kills whom." Work fast. ”
Everyone obediently went to their places and did their work, and a few people looked at the devils from time to time, for fear that the devils would get angry and not know which bullet would hit their heads, and they were all mechanically chopping and cutting bamboo strips in fear.
At this time, Takeshita and Yamada came over at some point, looking at the corpse of the devil carried by the bamboo cutter, and then looking at the bodies of the three teenagers placed side by side, Takeshita asked Watanabe what was going on?
Watanabe explained the situation and gave Takeshita the gun in Tianhao's hand to look at. Takeshita took the gun and looked down on it, frowning, thoughtfully, he recognized this Hanyang-made rifle.
Yamada said to Watanabe to carry the body of the devil to the gate of the city first, and then said to Takeshita: "It seems that these people are the New Fourth Army from the other side of the river." ”
Takeshita looked around, everything seemed unusually quiet, except for the sound of chopping bamboo, hearing Takeshita say that it was the New Fourth Army, he nodded in agreement. He said: "Yamada Jun, Xu Hun of the Tang Dynasty of China has a good saying in "Xianyang City East Tower", which is called 'The sun sinks at the beginning of the clouds, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.'" ’”
"What do you mean?" Yamada didn't understand what Takeshita meant.
Takeshita didn't answer him directly, saying, "Go back to the city, Yamada-kun." I always have some hunch that the New Fourth Army is watching us all around here, and our every move is in their field of vision, and when they come, it will be like a violent storm that is about to fall on our heads, and if we delay any longer and do not make decisions immediately, we will become gravel and dust in this rainstorm. ”
"Takeshita-kun, I understand what you mean. Watanabe-kun, come here. Yamada asked Watanabe, who came running over, "How many bamboo rafts have you made?" ”
"Two and one is being assembled." Watanabe replied.
"Okay, that's enough. You go and tell them to concentrate on this and put it on the dock and send people to guard it. Takeshita ordered Watanabe.
"Takeshita-kun, is there still one more, anyway, there is still time today, you can put some ammunition in one more one, or these ammunition were not given to the New Fourth Army for nothing? Besides, what if you encounter bandits or other guerrillas on the road, and what can you do to fight those who don't want to die? Yamada said. Takeshita has already discussed with himself, and he is going to abandon the city and evacuate tonight.
Takeshita was right to think about it, nodded his head, and wanted to leave the bamboo forest. At this time, Watanabe spoke, pointing to the three corpses on the ground and asking, "What about these people?" ”
Takeshita didn't look at it, took a deep breath of the fresh air of the bamboo forest, and then vomited, and said unhurriedly: "Put it here, let their people collect the corpse." With that, he left. Yamada turned to Watanabe and said in his ear: "When it's done, collect the team, in addition to sending people to guard the dock, the city and the city wall should also strengthen patrols, after doing this, you go to the teahouse to find me, I will wait for you there." ”
After Watanabe agreed, Yamada chased after Takeshi.
After Watanabe had done everything, he went to the teahouse, where Yamada and Takeshita were waiting for him.
"Watanabe-kun, I won't hide it from you, I discussed it with Yamada-kun, and I'm going to leave this city tonight to find the big army." Takeshita said as he drank tea.
"What? Get out of here? Looking for a large troop? Why? Watanabe didn't expect Takeshita to say this: "Yamada-kun, we came here on orders from above, how long has it been, and the New Fourth Army here has not been wiped out, can we just leave?" ”
Watanabe wondered why his boss had such an idea, he came with Yamada-kun, and it was only in the first half of this year that he set foot on this piece of China through domestic recruitment, and his parents wanted him to kill the enemy bravely on the front line and make meritorious deeds to repay the emperor's kindness. He was also full of ambition, but he didn't expect to be divided into Hankow, where there was no frontal battle, only daily idleness. I finally came to this place where I had contact with the New Fourth Army, but I was told by Yamada that I had to leave here again, of course he didn't want to leave here, and he didn't quite understand what they meant by leaving here?
"Watanabe-kun, don't get excited, I'm from the same country as you, I understand your feelings of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, you, me, and Yamada-kun are all the most loyal warriors in the Japanese Empire, and they are all fighting for the emperor. However, you have to be clear about our current situation, we can't spend here like this anymore, I have been here longer than you, and my boss has changed twice, and I have left and died, leaving me here to support the order of the city and maintain the transportation arteries on the river, but have you seen it, where is the transportation still coming, there is the New Fourth Army on the river, there is the New Fourth Army on the land, our transport fleet was either intercepted by them or wiped out by them, and there are fewer and fewer ships passing on it, It seems that they have lost patience with this transportation line, and they don't care about us anymore, you don't know, I know best. Takeshita saw that Watanabe was a little excited, so he said a lot to Watanabe.
"Watanabe-kun, you have only been here for a short time, you still don't know the situation here, let me tell you the truth, this place really can't stay for a long time, the Chinese are very cunning, Captain Zhang and they don't have a good heart, to expect them to be unreliable, can only rely on themselves." However, the current situation is that our combat effectiveness is getting less and less, and our weapons and ammunition can only last for a period of time, and if the New Fourth Army really comes to attack us one day, we will all become turtles in an urn that can be slaughtered by others. Yamada instructed Watanabe Road.
"It doesn't matter if you die, the soldier has to die on the battlefield, but to die meaningfully and worthily, we can't die unexplained, we have to die vigorously, so we have to go to the big army and fight to the death with the enemy's regular army, and it is worth dying." Takeshita snatched Yamada's words and quickly added, he was worried that Watanabe would misunderstand them.
Watanabe asked, "Does this count as an escape?" ”
Yamada scolded him: "Presumptuous. ”
Takeshita was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "No, this is not an escape, this is another way, to find a path that is more suitable for you warriors to win glory for the country, here is no meaning for us at all, it will remain in my memory." Takeshita came up with a high-sounding excuse.
Watanabe took a sip of hot tea and said to Takeshita and Yamada: "I am your subordinate, everything is up to you, I will go wherever you go, as long as I can go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, I am willing." ”
Takeshita and Yamada laughed, Yamada's smile was a little forced, but Takeshita didn't notice his expression, he stood up and said to Watanabe, "Prepare some wine and food tonight and have a good drink together." Seriously, if you really want to leave this city, I don't want to, you see, the scenery here is beautiful, the landscape is as beautiful as a painting, but I can't help but leave here, so that these living Japanese warriors can truly realize their dream of serving the emperor. ”
Naturally, Watanabe's job was done, and the soldiers below would not be a problem.
Just as he was about to get up to leave, Watanabe made a suggestion.
He said: "Yamada-kun, are there some snipers around the corpse of the New Fourth Army?" ”
"What for?" Yamada asked.
Takeshita shouted at this time and said, "Ah, I understand what Watanabe-kun meant, he said that he ambushed some snipers there, just waiting for the people of the New Fourth Army to come and collect their corpses, and see one by one and fight another, isn't that so?" Watanabe-kun. Yasi, Yamada-kun, what do you think? ”
Yamada-kun said to Watanabe, "You go and prepare." ”
Takeshita watched Watanabe-kun leave and laughed at each other.
"We need such young and promising fighters." Takeshita said meaningfully to Yamada.
Watanabe arranged two snipers to ambush in the best positions on the mountain, but when he saw that Tianhao and the fat man's position was not too conspicuous, it could not achieve the purpose of luring the New Fourth Army at all, he moved Tianhao and them one by one to the grass not far from the roadside, one here, one there, and then measured the distance with his hand to the sniper on the mountain, the place was open, and it was difficult to find the sniper in ambush here, and he left satisfied.
After a long time, the sniper on the hill finally saw a man walking towards the road. Looking through the lenses, there is an old man with a flowing beard, with vigorous steps and a light figure, hurrying away.
The sniper removed his hand on the trigger, he didn't believe that the old man was the New Fourth Army.
He is indeed not the New Fourth Army, just an old man who likes to stay with the New Fourth Army, he is the old man.
After practicing martial arts by the riverside, he sent Lu Gang away, and then walked by the riverside, he knew that Tianhao liked to play, he couldn't sit still, there were birds on the river, he liked to fight this bird, beast or something.
After walking for a distance, I didn't see his shadow, and stood by the river thinking that Tianhao might have gone to the mountains or the county seat. He looked out over the hill behind him, and it was quiet. At this time, Jiang saw that it was a little cold, his heart trembled suddenly, and a thought arose: Tianhao went to the county seat alone, and he thought in his heart that Tianhao was very likely to do this. He remembered that Tianhao had told him that if he crossed the river again, he would go to the city to play again. Thinking like this, he quickened his pace, came out of the river, turned onto the road to the county seat, and walked hurriedly.
He never expected that on the hill to his right, the devil's sniper had noticed him.
The old man was still walking forward, just in front of a bamboo forest, his eyes were suddenly attracted by something beside the road, it was clear that he was lying there alone, he took a few steps forward to take a look, and couldn't help but let him gasp.
What he saw was the corpse of a fat man. He didn't understand what was going on, didn't the fat man go to send the pilot? How did it end up here? And what about the dwarf? Seeing that there were still a few blood holes on the fat man's body, he was out of breath when he touched it, and he looked up in surprise, and saw two people lying in the grass not far from here, he was startled, and quickened his pace and ran there.
At this moment, the old man was almost unstable.
He saw Tianhao, and next to Tianhao was the dwarf.
He shouted at Tianhao, but Tianhao closed his eyes tightly and didn't have any breath, how could he respond to his father? The old man is full of tears and can't control himself.
Grief-stricken, he wanted to pick up Tianhao, but Tianhao was too heavy.
Looking at the three cold corpses in front of him, after thinking for a while, he turned around and went to hug the dwarf. The dwarf is small and light, he can hold it, his idea is to carry the dwarf back first, and then call someone to come over and carry Tianhao and the fat man away.
Just then, as he picked up the dwarf and wanted to leave, a gunshot rang out.
The old man stumbled down, and the dwarf broke away from his hands and rolled onto the road.
The old man stood up, and at this time, another gunshot was heard, and he was hit again and fell on Tianhao's body.
