Chapter 30: A Moonlit Night

Beiping, say big is not big, say small is not small.

It is said to be big because compared to most cities in China at that time, Beiping was definitely one of the few big cities.

It is said that it is small, because no matter how big the city was at that time, it was also limited, not to mention that the current location of Yenching University is only a suburb in the Republic of China, but in later generations, it is the North Fourth Ring Road.

What's more, the night was exceptionally quiet at that time, so Geng Chaozhong easily determined the direction of the gunshot.

Geng Chaozhong frowned.

At this time, the Great Wall War of Resistance had just ended, and there were a lot of stragglers in Beiping City, and the sound of this shooting was heard from time to time every day, which was not surprising, Geng Chaozhong hesitated a little, and soon took another step.

However, after only a few steps, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and in the distance, there was a faint sound of dogs barking.

Geng Chaozhong stopped, he was suddenly a little curious.

Tobacco dealers eat black? The Green Gang Hong Gang is not in harmony? Or, the Red Party or the Japanese?

Geng Chaozhong looked around—in spring and summer, when the grass and trees were in full bloom, on both sides of the high dirt road, dog's tail grass, which was more than half a person high, swayed in the moonlight.

Geng Chaozhong pursed his lips and jumped into the grass on the side of the road.

After a while, a person staggered over, this person's clothes were broken, his body was covered with blood, obviously the injury was not light, he was so panicked, and even needed the support of his arms to maintain the balance of his body, just when he ran to Geng Chaozhong's side, he fell, he fell to his knees all of a sudden, and the bright moonlight illuminated his face extremely hideous.

This time, Geng Chaozhong saw clearly, he had seen this person, this was a brother from Beiping Station, although he didn't know his name, he would never admit it!

Geng Chaozhong didn't move, and let the person run over.

Five minutes later, there was a dog barking not far away, mixed with some shouts such as "Baga".

Geng Chaozhong's eyes lit up, and he began to count silently:

One, two, three.......

Five people and one dog........

No, it's six dogs.....

It's a pity that he didn't have a gun, only a grenade.

However, a grenade is enough.

The footsteps were getting louder and louder, closer, closer and closer, Geng Chaozhong opened the safety of the American grenade, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

..........

"Mr. Bai, I might as well tell you that the guy who just let go, no matter how far he runs, will be caught up by us, do you want to know the reason?" Muto looked at Bai Shiwei proudly.

Bai Shiwei didn't speak, he knew that Muto had already put special smells on his brothers in advance, and the dog who ran out just now was already familiar with these smells.

"I thought Mr. Bai would call me despicable and shameless?" Muto laughed, and then looked at Bai Shiwei with a sneering gaze, "That's right, the anger of the incompetent is meaningless, Mr. Bai is a smart person, of course he won't do meaningless things." ”

Bai Shiwei glanced at Muto coldly, and seemed to be dismissive of these little tricks of him.

"It seems that Mr. Bai is reluctant to talk to me," Muto flattened his mouth, as if enjoying the pleasure of playing with cats and mice, "However, when that person is caught in a while, Mr. Bai may kneel down and beg me?" ”

Rumble!

Before Muto could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from in the distance.

"Why is there an explosion?" Muto frowned.

......

Not far away on the dirt road, the firelight was rising into the sky, and under the moonlight, several figures danced into the air, accompanied by their graceful dancing, there were also screams and dog barks, and Geng Chaozhong had already thrown the grenade at the same time, he had already jumped into the crowd, and a lazy donkey rolled into the crowd.

How can these devils who were blown up by grenades have any resistance?

After a while, the world was cleared, and the only remaining dog was knocked unconscious by Geng Chaozhong after the sound of "Ou'er".

Geng Chaozhong picked up a few guns from the ground, but immediately threw them on the ground in disgust - it was another southern pocket pistol, this kind of goods, even the thick cotton jacket more than twenty meters away could not be broken, it was simply a waste of waste.

Later, the Eighth Route Army never used this thing when it was captured, and Geng Chaozhong naturally didn't know how to use it, so he touched a few more handfuls, and finally touched a handful of Mausers, so he was satisfied and chased forward.

It didn't take long to see the brothers of Beiping Station who were crawling forward with their hands and feet in front of him, and Geng Chaozhong shouted loudly: "Man, don't run, those devils have been killed by me!" ”

The brother was stunned for a moment, struggled to look back, and used all four feet together, but ran faster, Geng Chaozhong had no choice but to take a big stride, and it didn't take long to catch up behind him, and grabbed his shoulder:

"Brother, be sober, I was sent by Stationmaster Wang!"

"Stationmaster Wang?" The brother stopped and looked back at Geng Chaozhong in a daze.

"That's right, Stationmaster Wang asked me to save you! What about them?! Geng Chaozhong asked.

"Dead, all dead!" The brother struggled, tears streaming down his eyes.

"Tell me, what's your name." Geng Chaozhong's hand pinched this person's shoulder like an iron tong, and under the absolute strength, he finally stopped struggling and said, "My name is Li Shunyi. ”

"Okay, Li Shunyi, I order you, report to me the details of Beiping Station, how many people were captured, how many people were martyred, who is still alive now, where is their location?!" Geng Chaozhong said with a stern expression.

"Report to the chief, everyone is dead except me!" Li Shunyi replied reflexively, but soon he remembered something, "Second Brother Bai shouldn't be dead yet!" ”

"Take me to him!"

Geng Chaozhong kept instilling orders in Li Shunyi - only in this way can this guy quickly regain his composure.

"Good!" Li Shunyi's eyes began to come alive, "Just three miles to the south, there is a big courtyard with more than 20 devils in it, ten people have long guns, and the rest are short guns!" ”

"Not bad," Geng Chaozhong patted him on the shoulder, "You just wait for me here, I'll take a look!" ”

"Sir Fang, there are a lot of them!" Li Shunyi's head has gradually regained its consciousness and he also recognizes Geng Chaozhong.

"You don't have to care, go east along this road, there is a market in front, there is a big archway there, you just wait for me under the archway."

Geng Chaozhong gave a simple order, took a step and ran back quickly.

...........

Muto's right eyelid jumped—he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

And, this is not the first time, this evening, I was a little frightened, and then someone reported that several brothers who were waiting for rabbits near Sweetwater Hutong were all wiped out.

"Dazuo, do you want to send someone to take a look?" Kazuo Jiangzhou asked beside him.

"Wait, if there is no movement in half an hour, send someone out."

Muto tried to keep himself calm.

As time passed, Muto's heart became less and less calm.

In the courtyard, several gendarmes were dragging the dead outside, and a few others were splashing loess on the steps to clean up the bloodstains, and they did not notice that a human head had emerged from under the round moon on the roof.

"One, two, three, four, five......"

The people on the roof began to silently count their heads again.
