The closer it is to the left of Sancha Bay, the more gentle and smooth the water of the Qingpython River becomes. Especially in this area of land that is large enough for people to wade through, the bottom of the river is full of fine sand that has been slowly deposited, and the bottom of the river can be seen half a foot away from the bank of the river. Hit a bowl of water from this realm and drink it, there is no strange smell of mud and sand, and there is a slight sweetness.

Letting the several kettles on his body collide and clang, the soldier of the Imperial Association who ran to the bank of the river to draw water first knelt on the bank, put his head into the river and poured a stream of clear river water, then raised his head and let out a long breath, pressed several kettles into the river and filled them with water, and then turned around and ran back to the big tree where the two Japanese soldiers were resting.

The splitter snatched the kettle handed over by the soldier of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the two Japanese soldiers drank a pot of water in one go, and they all burped loudly, and sighed with some emotion: "The smell of this water...... It's kind of reminiscent of that little stream back home......"

"That's true, there's a little river in front of my house. When I was young, I used to follow my father to the river to fish, standing in the shallow water with my trouser legs and watching the fish swim past me quickly......."

"There seems to be fish in this river too, maybe next time, we can suggest that Captain Iya send someone to catch some back?"

Chatting and gossiping, the two Japanese soldiers all turned their heads to look into the gently flowing green python river, but closed their mouths at the same time in an instant - just now they were still looking at the green python river where there were no people, and there were actually seven or eight naked middle-aged men lined up in a zigzag queue in the middle of the river, each holding a fence made of tree strips, catching swimming fish in the clear and gentle water?

Almost at the same time, they rolled over and lay on the ground, and the two Japanese soldiers quickly aimed their guns at the naked middle-aged men who were fishing in the middle of the river. One of the Japanese soldiers whispered, "Could it be a trap?" ”

Staring at the few middle-aged men who had nothing left on their bodies and were only concentrating on fishing, another Japanese soldier squinted his eyes and shook his head: "Not really!" They were very skilled in fishing, and all the fish they caught were thrown on the bank of the river where they had their clothes rested....... You, come here! ”

Listening to the whispered shouts of the Japanese soldier, a soldier of the Imperial Association Army, who was also lying on the ground and posing for a gun, pouted and crawled to the side of the Japanese soldier: "Taijun, what do you command?" ”

Pointing to the middle-aged men fishing in the middle of the river, the Japanese soldiers who had never left the gap in their rifle sights whispered, "Is there a fisherman's village around here?" Are there a lot of fishermen of this age? ”

Blinking a pair of eyes, the soldier of the Imperial Association Army pondered for a while before he stumbled and whispered: "Taijun, there are two or three villages in the vicinity of seven or eight miles, and all the strong men in the village are nowhere to be seen. Usually, there are people in these villages who come to the Green Python River to catch fish, but it is a village that specializes in fishing....... Like no? ”

Nodding very proudly, the Japanese soldier who asked lightly put his finger on the trigger: "No wonder they don't have fishing boats...... Do the cunning Shina people want to use such means to avoid the imperial army's labor recruitment? Look at my ......"

Seeing that the Japanese soldier who was questioning had slowly pre-pressed the trigger and put on a standard shooting posture that could be fired at any time after aiming, another Japanese soldier suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Don't shoot!" ”

Turning his head suspiciously, the Japanese soldier who asked looked at his companion a little strangely: "What's wrong?" Do you still have to give mercy and forgiveness to these chinas? ”

"It's not unusual to kill them, but if you can get them back...... These people look like they can do heavy work! As long as we can catch them back, Captain Iya will be satisfied, right? ”

Suddenly realized, the questioning Japanese soldier easily opened his finger on the trigger, but he whispered in confusion: "But why don't they run?" When ordinary people saw the soldiers of the imperial army, didn't they all run away without their lives? ”

"We are so high that we can't see us from the middle of the river, but we can see them! You, leave three guards, and all the others go down to the river quietly, go and catch those guys in the middle of the river, and don't let any of them go! ”

In the sparse and chaotic sound of promise, more than a dozen soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army tiptoed off the bits and pieces hanging on their bodies, holding only their rifles, and slid down the roadbed in twos and threes, like a pack of wild dogs ready to round up their prey, and felt in the direction of the river beach.

I don't know if the middle-aged men who were standing in the middle of the river fishing were too attentive, or maybe it was because the sound of the green python river was flowing and covered the footsteps of the Imperial Cooperative Army, until more than a dozen Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers all walked into the knee-deep river water next to the river beach, and then a middle-aged man inadvertently turned his head and saw the Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers approaching with rifles.

With a terrified scream, the middle-aged man raised his hand and threw the fence in his hand far away, shouting and shouting at his companion to run across the river. But the waist-deep river made it impossible for them to run quickly, and they could only watch the dozen or so Imperial Alliance soldiers chase closer and closer.

Just like watching the wild dogs whose prey was about to be captured, the dozen or so soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, who were also wading towards the center of the river, suddenly shouted triumphantly: "Stop the for me!" If you run again, you can shoot! ”

"The ....... who took the lead"

"Hurry up, surround them!"

In the midst of the indiscriminate shouting, several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army even pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded it, putting on a posture that they were really going to shoot. But before the few Imperial Association soldiers who were holding the guns raised their guns to aim at the target, two of the Imperial Association soldiers screamed violently, and their bodies, which were originally a little unstable in the river, suddenly crooked, and the whole person fell into the river.

Coincidentally, several soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army also seemed to have stepped on some sharp object under the water, and they all screamed and fell into the not too deep river, struggling to stand firm again. But the more they fluttered and struggled in the river, the more sharp objects pierced the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army. One of the unlucky ones stabbed several times in a row, and when he thought it was a miserable cry, he choked on the river water, and in the blink of an eye, he floated face down in the river!

In an instant, among the more than a dozen Imperial Association soldiers who went down to the river to capture Zhuang Ding, only one was left who could still stand up straight in the river, looking at his companion who was struggling and screaming in the river with a rifle in both hands, his face was pale with fright, but he didn't dare to move his steps at all.

At the same time, the seven or eight middle-aged men who had been running away in a hurry all stopped, bent down and groped in the river for a while, and when they straightened up again, they already had big knives or spears in their hands! Behind the rocks on the opposite river beach, two young men with Hanyang were also present, aiming their guns at the soldiers of the Imperial Association who were standing in the middle of the river in a daze.

Watching all this happening in the Python River in a bit of a daze, the two Japanese soldiers who had always aimed their guns at the middle-aged men in the Python River looked at each other and exclaimed almost at the same time: "It's really a trap...... Come here and kill all those people! ”

The shouts began, but instead of hearing the sound of the Imperial Allies guarding the strong men behind his head, one of the Japanese soldiers screamed halfway, and there was already an ash pole spear on his back. The tip of the spear, which was a foot long, was almost all pierced into the spine of the Japanese soldier, but he was not dead for a while, but only blood and bubbles gushed from his mouth and nose, and his hands and feet scratched the ground in vain, like a king who was nailed through his back armor and could not move.

Turning into elbows and armpits, another Japanese soldier could be regarded as having a quick opportunity, holding the 38 big cover in his hand and rolling violently, before the person could stabilize his body on the ground, the 38 big cover in his hand had already pointed to a figure shaking in front of him.

The whistling of the sharp weapon breaking through the air sounded almost at the same time that the Japanese soldier put his finger on the trigger. With a shrill whistling sound like a cracked silk, a flower feather crossbow arrow the thickness of a thumb and more than a foot long was nailed into the eye socket of the Japanese soldier accurately! Before the Japanese soldier screamed and went limp, the only eye he saw was the limp corpses of several Imperial Allies whose throats had been slit by a foot-long short knife.......

There was no time to untie the ropes tied to their necks and hands for the frightened men with frightened faces, and the two young men who came out of the autumn bud rice field quickly pulled the ropes and dragged the strong men into the autumn bud rice field. And several other young people who attacked and killed the soldiers of the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army were also familiar with dragging the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the Imperial Allied Army soldiers who were attacked and killed into the autumn bud rice field.

Almost at the same time, a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the river turned his head and took a rope thrown by the young man on the other side of the river who was on guard with a gun, pulled the rope into a horse buckle with both hands like butterflies wearing flowers, and raised his hand to throw it towards the Imperial Alliance Army soldier who was standing stiffly in the middle of the river: "If you don't want to die, put the gun on your back, put your hands into the horse buckle and pull it tightly, and we will pull you ashore!" ”

Subconsciously reached out and caught the rope thrown by the middle-aged man, and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were standing stiffly in the middle of the river first looked left and right at their companions who were struggling and screaming in the river, and then looked at the two rifles aimed at themselves on the bank of the river, and immediately carried the rifle in his hand to his shoulder, and then tied the tether buckle made of the rope to the wrists of both hands.

I didn't see how hard the middle-aged man was, but he gently pulled the rope in his hand, and the body of the Imperial Cooperative Army soldier suddenly slapped horizontally on the surface of the river, and he dragged it to the middle-aged man's side in three or two clicks. Before the Imperial Allied Army soldier who had choked on several mouthfuls of water stood firm again, several other middle-aged men who were naked were already familiar with the surrounding area, and in three or two clicks, they cleaned the big guns, bullets, and grenades on the Imperial Allied Army soldier, and did not even let go of the bayonet hanging on his belt.

He quickly tied him with the belt of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the long rope in the middle-aged man's hand flew to another Imperial Cooperative Army soldier who was carrying heavy loads in the middle of the river and was about to be unable to support it: "There is something to do, hurry up, right?" ”
