Chapter 4: The Death of the First Battle (I)

Kicking the dust on the avenue, the strong men who were taken away from Dawu Village in the twenties were tied to their necks by an old thick rope and connected into a string, and their hands were also tied with thin hemp ropes soaked in water, and they tightened the inside of the flesh and skin, until their hands turned red and purple, and they couldn't move at all, so they could only fall and crash forward under the drive of three devil soldiers and more than 20 soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

And around these strong men, several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were also walking crookedly were holding big guns horizontally, and from time to time they smashed the butts of their guns on the strong men who were walking a little slower, and scolded the strong men who were crying and marching with sad faces: "Do you want to die?" There's that pretending to be sick and selling stupid characters in front of you, and you've all seen it! The imperial army didn't hit a single stumble, so they left on the side of the road and picked it with bayonets! If you dare to grind foreign workers slowly and rub Yangshou, the bayonet in Taijun's hand will have to see blood again! ”

"I thought I could sneak away - these Taijun are the characters sent by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and they have a gun in their hands! No matter how fast you run, you can have guns to run fast?! ”

"I don't know what to do! You can be regarded as a good job - the Sanchawan Forthouse needs to repair trenches and erect barbed wire, and you can still have a meal with oil flowers after working every day, isn't it better than squatting at home and drinking wild vegetable soup? Well done work, maybe Taijun will be happy and will be able to give you a few Japanese military tickets! Resting in the county town, it is a good thing to buy salty salt and foreign fire! ”

Except for a few Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers who were guarding the strong men and hurrying forward, with a fierce and vicious look, the other dozen or so Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers were all piled up with flattering smiling faces, and the stars were like three Japanese soldiers walking at the end of the queue. There are those who fan the wind for those Japanese soldiers with hats, and those who hold water bottles and hand them to the mouths of those Japanese soldiers from time to time, and there are even those who hold foreign fires and cigarettes and serve carefully by the side of Japanese soldiers.

The Sanchawan Turret is just about to rush, and it was originally built with some money. Just in order to transport those bluestone stones out of the mountains, they were tired to death and stoned to death more than 30 ordinary people, and when they reconciled the ash and glutinous rice milk, they burned out the slaps of three or five old craftsmen.

Around the six watchtowers that are arranged in the shape of a large and five small plum blossoms, there is a parapet ditch that is more than three zhang wide. There are also dense sprinkles of broken tile stubble and fried thistle terrestris under the ditch that is two feet deep, which really makes a fairy sad. By the green python river next to the watchtower, there are three culverts in the moat ditch and the green python river communicate, leading to the living water of the green python river, not afraid of someone to fill the ditch with soil, climb the city over the moat.

The five small watchtowers are all two-storey, all equipped with a Japanese crooked machine gun, the large watchtowers are four stories high, four light and heavy machine guns, and two mortars are erected on the top. After those who knew the military and the military industry sneaked a look at the pattern and posture of the watchtowers of the Sancha River, they all shook their heads secretly - if there was no artillery to suppress the formation, I am afraid that a battalion of spearmen would go up, and they would have to make people lose their faces!

But such a stronghold that looks like a golden soup, after a Mid-Autumn Festival flood in autumn, has washed down the moat in several places, and even the broken tile stubble and thistle terrestris placed at the bottom have been washed clean. Although this did not pose much of a threat to the defense of the Sanchawan stronghold, it was impossible to stand up to the coincidence that a high-ranking Japanese officer who came to inspect the Sanchawan stronghold from the Japanese garrison headquarters in Baoding Prefecture saw the appearance of several collapses in the moat, and immediately became furious, and several crisp slaps hit the devil squad leader of the Sanchawan stronghold for several days listening to people, and there was an echo in his ears!

Since it was to repair the collapsed moat, it was natural that the Imperial Japanese Army could not be allowed to do these heavy tasks by themselves, and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were kept in the watchtowers of Sanchawan were good at eating, drinking, smoking, and prostituting in the hall, but the serious work was sparse. can only repeat the old trick - go to the countryside to catch strong men to deal with errands!

In the village near the watchtower of the Sancha River, several strong men have already been caught with the grate. Tired to death, killed a batch, and the rest all ran away, and now all the people who can move in the village are some old and weak women and children, and they can only run to the villages in the distance to touch Ding Zhuang.

But today's errand was quite unsmooth, obviously relying on a few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were familiar with the terrain and preemptively blocked several intersections in and out of Dawu Village, but in the end, they still only caught about 20 Ding Zhuang who couldn't hide. Along the way, there were not many other small villages, and the few Ding Zhuang who could be caught were either stupid and demented, or sick, and it was useless to catch them.

As soon as I thought that I would have to be slapped by the squad leader of the Sanchahe stronghold after I went back, several Japanese soldiers who pressed the formation were full of nameless evil fire in their hearts, and they took bayonets to pick out a few stupid, demented, or sick and weak Ding Zhuang to vent their anger!

Annoyedly, he handed a soldier of the Imperial Association Army to his lips and sent the kettle away, and a Japanese soldier roared angrily: "What a bastard! These people are like insects in a rice field, watching them fly everywhere, but once they are about to be arrested, they can't see any of them! If we only have such a record today, I'm afraid that after returning to the Sanchawan stronghold, we will have to bear the wrath of Captain Iya! ”

Equally rudely pushed an Imperial Allied soldier who was fanning himself with his hat, and another Japanese soldier nodded and agreed: "That's true!" But speaking of which, Captain Iya is nothing more than ...... A guy who was born as a baggage soldier has become a squad leader! And we, veterans who had been trained in the Kwantung Army, were sent to the garrison and waited for the command of a baggage soldier just because of a slight mistake, which was simply ....... Bastard! ”

Taking a deep breath of the cigarette that the Imperial Allied soldiers had lit for themselves, the only Japanese soldier with a rifle in his hand and a gloomy look in his eyes slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "Anyway, we have done our best!" If Captain Iya is going to make things difficult for us......"

Before he finished speaking, the Japanese soldier with gloomy eyes jumped up violently as if he had stepped on a sharp stone: "Bastard...... My shoes were pierced....... You go first, I'll deal with these tattered shoes! ”

With a bit of schadenfreude, the Japanese soldier who spoke first laughed: "Aren't they the new shoes that have just been issued?" How did it wear out the hole so quickly? ”

"Bastard! Didn't your new shoes be taken away by Captain Iya? ”

"Since you are a heavy soldier, you naturally want to take all the good things in your hands! Shoes, cigarettes, canned food, natto, and sweets....... Hurry up and keep up, if you run into an enemy, you'll be in trouble! ”

Sitting on a stone on the side of the road, the Japanese soldier with gloomy eyes took off his shoes with a curse: "Where are the enemies around here? Only the Chinese bandits who robbed the food and women ......."

As if agreeing with the Japanese soldier's statement, the other two Japanese soldiers followed the escorted team in front of them and walked forward. One of the Japanese soldiers took the kettle handed by another Imperial Cooperative Army soldier, took a sip and sprayed the water in his mouth into the face of the Imperial Cooperative Army soldier: "What is this?" Do you dare to use the stinky water for the imperial army to drink? ”

Seeing that the angry Japanese soldier had already taken off the rifle on his shoulder, and slapped the horse's fart on the horse's leg, the Imperial Cooperative Army soldier couldn't help but shout repeatedly: "Taijun, it's been a long time, and the weather is too hot, the water in the kettle must be ...... It doesn't taste good...... Front...... The road in front of me is the Green Python River, the water there is clean and cool, and when I get there, I will fetch water for Taijun......"

Although the Imperial Allied soldier put on a look of forgiveness, the Japanese soldier who took off his rifle from his shoulder still smashed the butt of his rifle into the shoulder of the Imperial Allied Army soldier: "Bastard! Tell them to hurry up, and if they are so sluggish, when they return to the Sanchahe stronghold, I'm afraid they won't even be able to eat dinner! ”

Holding his smashing shoulder, the unlucky Imperial Soldier grinned and nodded in agreement, urging his companion who was escorting the strong man in front of him to speed up. It's just ten minutes later, the water of the Green Python River near the main road is already faintly in sight, and the sound of flowing water in the Green Python River has gradually reached the ears.

Pursing their dry lips, the two Japanese soldiers even forgot about their companions behind them, and shouted in unison: "It's under that tree...... Rest! ”

Hurriedly agreed, a few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army with fast legs immediately rushed to the big tree near the side of the road, and cleaned up the dead branches and leaves under the tree in three or two clicks. A few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army rushed into the crops on the side of the road without feeling distressed at all, broke a lot of autumn bud rice poles that had begun to be grouted, laid out a mat under the big tree, and let the two Japanese soldiers sit down with a sneer.

Leaning against the uncle, the two Japanese soldiers stretched out a pair of Luo hoop legs that were not long, but they didn't forget to put their respective 38 big covers horizontally on their legs, lazily staring at the strong men who were driven by the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and squatting together, laughing and talking: "How long do you say these guys caught this time will last?" ”

"How can you survive ten days? These people look thin and weak, but they are still very useful when they can be used for work, just give them a little bit of water every day......"

"It's a pity that I couldn't see the right woman in today's action, otherwise ......."

"Are you dreaming? In such a place, a little better women have already run out! But I heard that a comfort station is going to be opened in the county town, and there will be some comfort women from Goryeo? ”

"Goryeo comfort women? All right...... It's better than nothing......."

Taking advantage of the chatting and resting efforts of the two Japanese soldiers, a soldier of the Imperial Association Army with several water bottles quickly jumped off the roadbed made of bluestone, and only ran in the direction of the Qingpython River beach.

Seeing that the soldier of the Imperial Association Army went to the Qing Python River to fetch water, among the strong men who also walked with a dry throat, a bold one couldn't help but whisper to the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were guarding the side: "Boss, let us also drink saliva...... It's all honest dealers, we don't run...... I really don't run ......."

With a sneer, the soldier of the Imperial Association Army with a rifle on the side laughed strangely: "Yo...... Haven't you seen that you're a golden nobleman? You haven't drunk water yet, but you want to come out on top? There is no water, do you want to drink it?! ”
