CHAPTER VI 1937 1
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the New Year is coming.
Zhang Tao couldn't be happier. In the three years of Kant, for Zhang Tao, there is nothing worth recalling, Zhang Laicai, "Singing the Sky", "Little Bun", and Le Wuye all left this world in this year. If you want to talk about warm memories, it is that Zhang Tao met Huaihua and Tang Xiaoyun, but now, these two people have no news at all. During the Chinese New Year last year, the main force of drinking and setting off firecrackers with the loudest voice was in the old wolf camp not far away, and this year it will definitely not be able to come back for the New Year. Listening to the sound of firecrackers coming from far and near, Zhang Tao remembered one after another people who appeared and left in his life.
"The owner ......" interrupted Zhang Tao with a soft greeting, and he asked without looking back: "'Human sperm' is so free, is the business in the store not good?" ”
"Owner, the business in the store is very good. It's the end of the year, and dogs big and small are busy inviting Japanese people to dinner. There is one thing, my heart is not very steady, it is better to talk to you. "Human sperm" owes the body.
"Say, I'll listen." Zhang Tao yawned.
"Do you know the announcement of the bounty on the old wolf camp?" "Human sperm" asked cautiously.
Speaking of this notice, of course Zhang Tao knew that he had seen this notice since he came back from Mushroom Ridge, and he had been posting it for several months. It says that in order to ensure the safety of the coast and strictly enforce the law and discipline, anyone who can help the imperial army encircle and suppress the bandits in the area of Xiaoshan will be rewarded with 40,000 yuan in silver and 10,000 yuan in silver for providing important clues.
Zhang Tao smiled: "What's the matter, someone wants to take that reward?" Whoever has that ability, the 'mountain rabbits' in the city know where the old wolf camp is. ”
"Not really!" "Human Sperm" said, "The notice is changed every week, and when I came here just now, I found that half of the notice was left and no one changed it, and in some places there were no notices, and the Japanese and police stations did not put new ones." ”
"Well, what can that be?" Zhang Tao said indifferently, "You celebrate the New Year, but the Japanese don't celebrate the New Year?" ”
The mouth of the "human sperm" moved, without squeaking, and pondered for a long time: "Owner, it's better to tell you to be careful." ”
"That's okay, in a few days, the 'Mountain Rabbit' will bring someone to bring some New Year's goods over there, and I will tell the 'Mountain Rabbit'." Zhang Tao said with a big grin, "This week, I'm going to invite the bastards to dinner at your place every day, and don't drop the chain for me when the time comes." ”
"Don't worry, the owner, I can't delay your business, even if it's a mouse drug, I'll wait for them to come by themselves." "Human sperm" also snorted.
"Hmm!" Zhang Tao leaned lazily on the sofa, "There is really nothing to do this year, and the good people have gone several times...... Alright, you can get busy, I'll give gifts to the little devils! ”
Since the killing of the big golden tooth, Hamajima has been very quiet, nothing has happened, and when the New Year is approaching, even the arrogant devils are loose.
And Qingchuan seems to have disappeared, and there is no one to be found at all. Most of the big and small things were handed over to Huang Gongzi, and the police chief was so busy that he had no choice but to cheekily ask Wang Gang to share some of it. Wang Gang put on a pretense that I can't be arrested by you, and shirked it for a long time before he "reluctantly" entered the police station, and occasionally appeared in the gendarmerie.
Zhang Tao also knew the news of Qingchuan's mysterious disappearance, and he was nervous for a while, sending eyesight everywhere to inquire about Qingchuan's whereabouts, and finally got the news that Qingchuan had returned to Japan for the New Year.
Huang Gongzi was not free, and Wang Gang became a frequent visitor to Zhang Tao's house.
Zhang Tao, the fourth uncle, and Zhang Gui are preparing to eat Xiaonian dumplings, stuffed with mutton and celery. As soon as Zhang Tao put the first dumpling in his mouth, and before he could chew it, a nursing home walked in: "Dongjia, Director Wang Gang is here." ”
"What's wrong with this guy's calculations?" Zhang Tao had no choice but to put down the chopsticks, "Then let the family come in and add a pair of chopsticks." Saying that, he stood up and greeted him, and didn't go out a few steps before he ran into Wang Gang, who was walking over under the leadership of the nursing home, "I said, did you smell the fragrance of mutton dumplings, why did you come here just when you were about to move your chopsticks?" Zhang Tao said with a smile.
"What's going on?" Wang Gang smiled and said, "You still want to kick me out?" ”
"Then I don't dare!" Zhang Tao stretched out his hand, "Please, my big director." ”
"You let me in, but I won't go in." Wang Gang pursed his lips, "I'm here to talk to you about something." Let's go up to the house. ”
Wang Gang pulled Zhang Tao to the bedroom, Zhang Tao smiled and said, "I haven't eaten yet, I'll go to bed after eating later." Zhang Tao felt that Wang Gang's hand holding his arm tightened, and he immediately understood that there was something important to say, and turned around and said to the nursing home that followed, "I'll talk to Director Wang about something, don't go in for anyone!" ”
Wang Gang pulled Zhang Tao into the bedroom, immediately closed the door, and said to Zhang Tao: "Qingchuan is on Bindao." Zhang Tao was stunned when he heard this: "It's on Bindao Island, what's wrong?" ”
"Oops!" Wang Gang looked very anxious, "Let me tell you, now Qingchuan is hiding in Nanda Camp all day long, and I also heard about it by chance when I went to the gendarmerie yesterday, and now the Nanda Camp can't even get in to the Japanese, what do you say he is going to do?" ”
The Nanda camp mentioned by Wang Gang is an abandoned barracks on Bindao, which was built when the commander fought the Zhifeng War, and has been empty since the Northeast changed banners.
Zhang Tao's eyebrows twisted: "Wang Ba, what kind of bad water is he holding?" I guess it's not a good thing. Ever since Jin Daya was killed, this guy has been bowing his head and drooping his head, what's the matter, to become a sperm? ”
"I suspect that the one who can make him do such a big fight is probably the beard of the old wolf camp." Wang Gang said worriedly.
Zhang Tao's mouth is very strict, and he requires his subordinates to be strict too, until now, Wang Gang has no idea what this gang of bandits has to do with Zhang Tao, and the "human sperm" who knows about this matter does not know that Wang Gang is a Communist Party at all. Wang Gang came to Zhang Tao today, just to try his luck to see if Zhang Tao could contact this group of patriotic beards.
"There are thousands of people in a big brigade of devils, and they are all locked up just for a group of bandits?" Zhang Tao shook his head, "I've seen enough, isn't that gang of devils going to fight the Anti-Japanese Federation or going to North China, but I heard that the Japanese in North China have been very evil recently." ”
"Alas!" Wang Gang said helplessly, "If you can get in touch with those beards, remind them to be careful, I ran out when I was on duty, and I have to go back." Wang Gang grabbed the police hat on the coffee table and buckled it on his head, and walked out.
"Fourth uncle!" Zhang Tao opened the door and shouted. The fourth uncle next door immediately walked over: "Young master, what's wrong?" Zhang Tao shook his head, saying that he didn't fully understand what was going on, licked his lips and said, "I think this posture is really a little wrong, has the 'mountain rabbit' gone?" ”
"Let's go, I left early in the morning, saying that I can't let the brothers in the old wolf camp can't eat dumplings in the new year, what is the matter?" The fourth uncle looked at Zhang Tao, who was a little anxious, and asked.
"Let's go, let's go, he can't forget to remind the old wolf camp to be careful lately, right?" Zhang Tao is still a little worried.
"No, the owner of the 'Mountain Rabbit' is not unaware." The fourth uncle said with certainty.
"Okay, let's go, let's eat dumplings." Zhang Tao walked towards the dining room.
At this time, the "mountain rabbit" had already brought a few carts under the banner of the Nichiman trading company to the foot of the small black mountain. "Mountain Rabbit" said to a few young men who were driving to pull goods: "You go back, the old rule, I will go back to pay the money, but you went to Wenxian County to deliver the goods once, understand?"
"Understand, it's not the first time!" A few young people unloaded the things in the car, pushed them on the side of the avenue, took a stack of Manchurian dollars in the hands of the "mountain rabbit", and drove away.
The "mountain rabbit" sat on a rice bag with a grin, and saw that there was no movement around him, before he said with a hippie smile: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, hurry out and move things." ”
As soon as his words landed, a few people stood up in the dry grass pile not far away, and the "big scar" led by him came over with a smile: "I said 'mountain rabbit', how do you know that we can wait for you here?" ”
"I can smell your harazi smell from afar, can you still not know? Besides, the owner must send New Year's goods during the New Year, isn't it obvious? "Mountain Rabbit" said.
"You kid, either you don't speak, or you can choke people to death if you don't speak." "Big Scar," muttered.
"Alright, I'll be done with you here!" "Mountain Rabbit" stood up and pulled the dust on his pants, "You have a message for you to 'kill all directions', don't forget it." Just about to tell "Big Scar" to be more careful recently, "Big Scar" interrupted him: "This, you yourself and the big shopkeeper, don't want to stuff things for me and run away this time." Why do you have to spend a little time with everyone, don't you? ”
"Don't make trouble, I have to go back, the owner may have to let me do something, you are a beard at ease, I am still an errand runner of the owner, and you can't compare!" "Mountain Hare" said that he was about to get on the horse.
"Big Scar" grabbed the reins of the "mountain rabbit" reluctantly, and said: "No, you have to go up the mountain, you will definitely regret not going up the mountain, and the owner will definitely scold you when he goes back." ”
"I said, what's the matter with you? It's so evil, and I regret it, I regret it when I went up the mountain and was half dead by you, so it's so hard for you to bring a message to the big boss of 'Killing the Eight Directions'? "Mountain Rabbit" said dissatisfiedly.
"Just come with me!" "Big Scar" snatched the reins of the "mountain rabbit" and dragged it up the mountain. "Mountain Rabbit" knew that "Big Scar" couldn't mess around like this, so he went with him.
The old wolf camp was still like that, as soon as they arrived at the door, a bunch of people came up and took the rice, bud rice, stubble, white flour, salty salt, and half a fan pig brought to them and walked towards the kitchen. Big Scar winked at the Mountain Rabbit, "Let's go, go up the hall." ”
"Why did I say you're a demon?" "Mountain rabbit" said dissatisfied.
There were several braziers in the middle of the hall, and as soon as the "mountain rabbit" entered, he felt a wave of heat, and when he just lowered the cotton curtain and looked up, his jaw almost didn't fall, and the whole person seemed to be immobilized.
"What's wrong? Dead rabbit, don't you know? In the middle of the hall, it was not "Kill the Eight Directions" who was sitting, but a girl wearing a fiery red short robe, a Mao Kan shoulder, and two box cannons pinned to her waist. The girl was smiling and looking at the "mountain rabbit".
"Mountain Rabbit" reacted after a while: "Miss, when did you come back?" Why didn't you go to the Senate? ”
Huaihua sat on a high chair and pouted: "What am I doing there?" This is my house, what is the Senate, and I'm not someone's cousin. ”
"Mountain Rabbit" pondered, this is a bad dish, Tang Xiaoyun told "Big Scar" when he was drinking, and forgot that "Big Scar" is Huaihua's genuine mother's family, who knows that Huaihua will come back in a few days.
"No, Miss, listen to me." "Mountain Rabbit" clenched his fists, and after weighing the huge difference between himself and "Big Scar" in size, size and kung fu, he gave up his attempt to use force to teach others a lesson, and explained to Huaihua: "That's the cousin of the senator, and they are back in Jiangnan, so they are here to relax." ”
"Who she is has nothing to do with me, and I'm not one of your senators." Sophora pursed her lips.
"Mountain Rabbit" is so bitter in his heart, and his heart says what's the use of you telling me about this, you tell the owner. Then he glanced at "Big Scar", and the gloating expression of "Big Scar" made "Mountain Rabbit" completely dismiss the idea of asking him for help. glanced at "Kill the Eight Directions" who had been sitting next to him again, and "Kill the Eight Directions" simply looked up at the ceiling. Looking at Liu Yingyuan again, Liu Yingyuan stood up: "I'll go and see when the dumplings will be good!" He turned and ran.
"Mountain Rabbit" had no choice but to look at the locust flowers that began to peel peanuts and eat them again: "What, Miss, this is the ...... This is the ...... What can I say as a subordinate? ”
"Yo, it's like she's a little girl." Huaihua glanced at the "mountain rabbit", "We can't be lazy with the people of the Senate, I didn't let you stand like a wood, there is a seat, don't look for me if you don't sit yourself." ”
The "mountain rabbit" walked to the empty chair and sat down, and said without words: "The eldest lady has changed the guys, why did the original little pistol change to two guys so big?" Actually, I still think you're looking good with a small pistol......"
Huaihua looked at the "mountain rabbit": "That means I can't use the box cannon well?" I don't accept the two of us. ”
"I'll see it!" "Big Scar" was the first to jump out, "Let's go, let's go, I'll be the referee." ”
"Mountain Rabbit" was originally speechless, and his heart said that this is not a whole thing, my aunt and grandmother themselves are not happy, if I win, it will be enough to choke on good fruit to eat, but if I lose on purpose, I can't beat the little girl with a box cannon, and others don't say anything about it, and it is estimated that the "big scar" will be laughed at for a lifetime. Watching Huaihua stand up and "kill all directions" and walk out of the door, he was still hesitating whether to win or lose.
"Big Scar" came over and patted the "mountain rabbit": "What are you doing, scared?" Otherwise, I'll talk to the eldest lady, and even if you lose, it's over. ”
"Who's scared?" The "mountain rabbit" strode out with his feet raised.
At this time, the playground was already full of Northeast Army watching the excitement, and the "mountain rabbit" walked into an empty field that was temporarily vacated: "Miss, what do you say!" ”
"What's the comparison......" Huaihua took out two oceans from her clothes and threw them to the "big scar" next to her, "Throw the ocean, see who doesn't fall, and see who plays well." ”
It was the first time that the "Mountain Rabbit" had heard that there was someone who played better, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then Bibi." Miss, please. ”
"It's better for you to come first, maybe you won't dare to fight once I'm done." Huaihua said with a smile.
The "mountain rabbit" couldn't cry or laugh, this little girl was obviously afraid that she would lose her ugliness first, and wanted to probe her bottom, if she didn't work, she should be cheating. "Mountain Rabbit" thought to herself, it's not a shame for the girl to lose, I'll fight hard. Thinking of this, he pulled out the box cannon on his waist and shouted: "Come on!" ”
The ocean in the right hand of the "big scar" shot upward, and the "mountain rabbit" did not shoot immediately, and only when the ocean rose to the highest point and began to fall down, did he raise his hand and fire a shot, and the ocean flew to a higher place, and it reached the highest place again, and the "mountain rabbit" fired a second shot. When it came to the fifth shot, it felt a little strenuous, and it was at this altitude that the ocean flew upwards again and again. After 20 rounds of ammunition, the ocean fell to the ground.
When the gun was fired just now, people were all looking up, and no one made a sound, and now they shouted "coaxing". "Mountain Rabbit" waved to the Quartet: "Three old and four young, it's the New Year, I have a saying for this move, called step by step." After saying that, there was another round of applause. Mountain Rabbit" looked at Huaihua proudly: "Miss, if it's not like this, I've been using this guy for many years." ”
Huaihua ignored him, and the two box cannons lit up. Only then did he say: "Don't talk about those useless ones, the 'big scar' begins!" ”
The ocean in the left hand of the "big scar" also flew up, and after the acacia flower and the ocean rose, the right hand fired a shot with a "bang", and the ocean was hit, but it missed, and it did not fly up like the "mountain rabbit", but was hit by the bullet and flew out to the upper left, and suddenly there was a sigh of regret.
Huaihua was unmoved, fired another shot with his left hand, and the ocean that was flying to the left was hit again, but it was still not flying upwards, but flying to the upper right, flying to the right, and the right hand was another shot, and the ocean flew back, the 40 bullets of the entire two guns were finished, and the ocean flew left and right like butterflies for 20 back and forth, and when the ocean landed, the onlookers made a deafening applause, and the "mountain rabbit" was completely stupid, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "Miss, what kind of marksmanship are you?" This is too good, can you teach me? ”
"Hehehehehe!" Huaihuajiao smiled, "I regret not hanging some color with you, that's interesting." ”
"Come on, eat dumplings!" Liu Yingyuan walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, "But the dumplings that the chief of staff personally helped wrap, you have to be careful when eating, the dumplings are packed with a lot of money and ocean, don't break your teeth......"
"Let's go, let's eat dumplings!" Huaihua was in a very good mood after the big victory over the "Mountain Rabbit", and happily asked "Kill the Eight Directions": "The big boss, did I win?" ”
"Kill the eight directions" laughed: "Yes, yes, the eldest lady won, and the 'mountain rabbit' lost." How can it look good to fly up and down? ”
"Yes, yes, I'm convinced." "Mountain Rabbit" also smiled and said, "But the eldest lady has to tell us how this is practiced, it's only been a few days!" ”
"I......" Sophora grinned, "I won't tell you, Stinky Bunny." With that, he ran to the cafeteria.
The "mountain rabbit" shook his head helplessly and followed in. Due to the return of the acacia flower, this small year is particularly lively. Before going to the table, "Big Scar" told "Mountain Rabbit" that Huaihua had been up the mountain for three days, and her spirit was a little better today. "Big Scar" also specially instructed the "mountain rabbit" not to ask what happened on the grassland, not to ask at all, to cry when he asked, and not to say what was going on, just to cry. "Kill the Bafang" and "Big Scar" privately told all the people in the old wolf camp that they were not allowed to ask the eldest lady anything, let alone mention the grassland. As a result, not asking the eldest lady anything and prohibiting the mention of "grass" and homophones in the silk became the new military regulations of the old wolf camp.
In the new year, it is the eldest lady who comes home, and this wine cannot be drunk. By the time the "mountain rabbit" was dizzy and dazed, the sun had already begun to sink to the west.
The "mountain rabbit" staggered on the horse, his head was dizzy for a while, and the two pieces of ocean that had just been bitten out of eating dumplings were clanging in his pocket, and several times, the "mountain rabbit" even dozed off on the horseback. Halfway to the road, the "mountain rabbit" was a little unable to hold on, feeling that the dumplings he ate and the wine he drank began to surge upwards, so he had to get off the horse and spit out on the side of the road.
After the "mountain rabbit" vomited, he woke up most of the wine, he shook his head, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, yes, it was the sound of a car. The "mountain rabbit" hurriedly lay on the ground, put his ear on the ground, and his voice became clear all of a sudden.
The head of the "mountain rabbit" "buzzed" loudly. He made a fatal mistake and forgot to tell the old wolf battalion to strengthen its guard. The "mountain rabbit" heard the "kill the eight directions" with his own ears, and called back the light and dark sentinels in the old forest to celebrate the New Year together. The "mountain rabbit" immediately got on his horse and galloped forward.
After running for a while, the "mountain rabbit" heard the sound of cars and motorcycles getting closer and closer, and basically followed behind him. The "mountain rabbit" reluctantly got off the horse, quickly put a chew on the horse's mouth, and pulled the horse to the side of the valley: "You have been following me for almost 3 years, but if you don't leave, we will both choke enough!" With that, he took two steps back and pushed the horse down the cliff.
"Mountain rabbit" is also a last resort, take the horse to hide, the horse's goal is too big, and the little devil is about to come. If it is a car, it can still be a little lucky, but this motorcycle, only the Japanese army has this thing on the Coast, even on the mountain road, the horse can't outrun the little devil's car. If you take the horse into the woods, not to mention walking more slowly, the sound of the horse's hooves may kill you.
The wine of the "mountain rabbit" has completely woken up. He lowered his body, grabbed a handful of dirt and covered his vomit, and ran like a tanuki into the mountains and forests across the road.
The "mountain rabbit" estimated by himself that the little devil's car was now taking a long detour on the mid-mountain road, and in any case, it was not as fast as the path by himself. Now in front of the "mountain rabbit" are two choices, either to report directly to the old wolf camp, or to intercept the little devil halfway, in this way, as long as the gunfire spreads, the old wolf camp can know what is going on. But in this way, the "mountain rabbit" itself is very dangerous. The "mountain rabbit" thought about it, and decided to go to the front to intercept the devils by himself, first, to see if this group of devils had gone to the old wolf camp, and second, to call the police with gunshots in advance.
Harukawa sat in the cab of the first truck, with a smug smile on his lips. Now Qingchuan can be said to have a complete understanding of the old wolf battalion, and his plan is to first solve the head of the old wolf battalion to "kill all directions", and then take advantage of the chaos to kill it, with the strength of more than 500 people he carries, it can be said that he is completely sure to annihilate the old wolf battalion.
The reason why Qingchuan chose to implement his plan when he was young was that he could take advantage of the old wolf camp's paralysis to carry out a surprise attack, and secondly, he could also give an explanation to his boss before the Spring Festival. Qingchuan is calculating, but he didn't calculate that someone would come to Hamashima to deliver New Year's goods to the old wolf camp, and he would just run into his own convoy. Qingchuan closed his eyes slightly, and after going through the details of his plan from beginning to end, he hummed "Jun's Generation" in a low voice.
The "Mountain Rabbit" had never run as fast as he did today, he was racing against the cars, and he didn't feel tired at all, and the sooner he was warned, the less danger the old wolf camp would suffer. It's just that what he doesn't know is that in addition to him, there is another group of people in the mountains and forests who launched an operation against the old wolf camp, and it was in front of him.
