Chapter 224: Shadow Island (11)
The group of Japanese soldiers who landed on Jeopus Island was a search team sent by the Japanese people.
Yesterday, after the Jinyi Guard squad killed all the soldiers on the patrol boat, the Japanese navy in Punai, Busan, did not discover that one patrol boat was missing until the evening, and all the soldiers on board were gone. When the search in Punai in Busan failed, the Japanese Navy sent a large number of ships and personnel to expand the search area, hoping to find the missing people or discover the cause of their disappearance. Jeopus Island has undoubtedly become one of the targets of the Japanese army's search.
After landing on Jeep Island, the group of Japanese soldiers first conducted a dragnet search of the southern part of Jeep Island, and then searched the depths to the north.
"There are a few houses up there, let's go up and have a look." Coming to the bottom of the high slope where the three houses were, a thin officer-like Japanese man pointed his katana at it and ordered.
Hearing the order, more than 100 Japanese soldiers outflanked the high slope in a ring.
Jumpy still had his eyes slightly closed, and when he sensed that the Japanese soldiers were approaching the house, he made a strange sound from his mouth.
In an instant, the monkeys at the scene jumped out one after another, blocking the way forward of the Japanese soldiers, and at the same time let out a roar of "woo, woo, woo" from their mouths. For a time, the roar of the monkeys shook the mountains and resounded throughout the island.
The sudden appearance of the monkey group startled the already nervous Japanese soldiers. The skinny commander found out that it was a group of monkeys at work, and angrily ordered his opponent: "Fuck, it's a group of monkeys." Rush up and chase them away. ”
The Japanese soldiers regrouped and rushed upwards with their katanas in their hands.
Jumping sat on the roller and stood still, and when the Japanese soldiers approached the monkeys, he slapped the roller under his feet with his left front grip and gave instructions to the monkeys.
The monkeys immediately picked up various fruits prepared in advance from the ground, and then smashed the fruits in their hands at the Japanese soldiers.
Fruit rain suddenly fell above the heads of the Japanese army. The fruits that were smashed intensively made the Japanese soldiers have nowhere to hide, and they were smashed one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, so they had to retreat to the bottom of the slope.
"This group of dead monkeys, are they evil? I don't believe it, we can't cure a bunch of monkeys. The thin commander of the Japanese army covered the smashed left side of his face and said hatefully.
"Sir, I think we have offended their territory that they are attacking us. In case you don't know, these houses were built by our garrison on this island. Later, the garrison withdrew to the island, and the houses remained empty. It seems that these houses are now home to the monkeys on the island. Said a soldier next to the thin commander.
"Since we're here to search, of course we can't let go of any place. I ordered, and the whole crew quickly rushed up, drove away the monkeys, and searched the house. "The thin commander was a little unwilling.
Once again, the Japanese soldiers charged the hillside.
This time, Hop finally opened his eyes, looked condescendingly at the enemy under the hillside, jumped off the wheel with a "poof", took a stone from a monkey, and then, pushed aside the monkeys, and came to the front of the monkeys.
The monkeys also learned to jump and picked up the pre-prepared stones from the ground. Seeing the Japanese soldiers howling and rushing forward, he jumped and raised his right paw and threw the stone in his hand at the Japanese commander. The stone whistled down, striking the thin commander in the bridge of his nose.
"Ouch!" The thin commander screamed in pain, threw away the katana in his hand, and covered the bridge of his nose with both hands. In an instant, red blood flowed from the tips of his fingers.
At the same time, the monkeys followed suit, smashing the stones in their hands at the enemies below.
The dense rain of stones instantly smashed the heads of the Japanese soldiers to the ground. Seeing that it was difficult to climb the high slope smoothly, the thin commander had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
"Sir, I think it's better to forget it. It's not worth giving a bunch of monkeys a gas. The air on this island is humid, and wounds are easily infected. ”
"Yes, sir. Let's hurry up and take a look elsewhere, anyway, a group of monkeys have occupied these houses, and I guess there is nothing inside
It's worth searching. ”
The hard-pressed soldiers persuaded the skinny commander with a broken nose.
"Fuck. Why are you so unlucky today, you met a group of dead monkeys who don't want to die. Forget it, give me the order, all of us bypass this hillside and continue our search north. The thin commander put his hand over his bleeding nose and commanded helplessly.
The team members who witnessed the whole battle couldn't help but praise the jump. After praising and jumping, looking at the Japanese soldiers who were coming north around the high slope, the nerves of the team members who had just relaxed became tense again.
"Rest assured, no one who doesn't know will not be able to find the entrance to the tree hole." Looking at everyone's solemn expressions, Li Youmei comforted everyone.
"Will you see this hole in front of you from below?" Shi Lang asked Li Youmei.
"No, it won't. Don't look at it, it's clear from the inside, but if you look up from below, it's hard to spot the hole, because the shrubs and weeds on the cliff cover the hole. Rest assured, everyone. Li Youmei said.
After listening to Li Youmei's words, everyone realized that the cliff outside the cave was indeed covered with all kinds of shrubs.
"Some of these shrubs have mosquito repellent properties. Mosquitoes generally do not enter the burrow from here. Zhu Qing added.
"Well, really. I really didn't feel any mosquitoes in this hole. It's such a great place to stay. Shi Tianji looked around and sighed.
An hour later, the group of Japanese soldiers who had not gained anything had to drag their tired bodies back to the landing place at the southern end of Jeordien Island, and in the midst of scolding and complaining, boarded the warship tied to the shore and returned to the station.
Looking at the Japanese boats that gradually disappeared from view, the members of the squad who were crowded at the entrance of the cave to closely observe the enemy's movements, Zhu Qing and Cambodia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, everyone must be hungry too. Anyway, the Japanese people are gone, so let's have something to eat. Li Youmei said, and together with Zhu Qing, she took down the bacon and some air-dried wild fruits hanging on the cave wall on the west side, "There is nothing delicious on this desert island, so let's eat a little." Li Youmei said as she put the food in her hand on the stone platform in the cave.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious jerky. Shi Tianji was full of praise while eating heavily.
"Lao Shi, I see that whatever you eat is delicious. I really envy you. Du Heng said while eating.
"This Lao Shi must be a starving ghost, otherwise, why can't he pull his legs when he sees food." Bau said as he chewed on the dried wild fruit in his mouth.
"If I'm a starving ghost, then you two are big-headed ghosts and water ghosts. Hey. Shi Tianji eats Zhengxiang, and he doesn't care what others say to him.
"Then there are a lot of ghosts in our team. You see, starving ghosts, big-headed ghosts, water ghosts. Hua Ancestor pointed to Shi Tianji, Bau, and Du Heng in turn, and said.
"Don't forget, there are two." Du Heng added.
"? You mean me and Tailwind? ”
"Do you say that others are worthy of you two?"
"No, no, Commander Du, I'm a, and Shunfeng Ear should be a black charcoal ghost. Haven't you noticed that Shunfeng ears are much darker than mine? ”
"Clairvoyant, you're called ...... How many steps to laugh and how many steps to come? Why didn't I find out that I was darker than you. ”
"Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter." Ye Ruliu hints for downwind ears.
"Yes, yes, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter. I was a hundred paces, and clairvoyance was fifty steps, so he laughed at me. ”
"That's it, Shunfeng Er, here we laugh at others is a great disrespect to others, you can't spare clairvoyance." Shi Tianji showed a face that was not a big deal to see the excitement, and pouted in the ear.
"Okay, Lao Shi, if you want the two black brothers to fight, we can ask you." Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.
"Hey, hey, I just look at these two black buddies who are even more stupid than me, and I want to make them happy."
"What do you mean by Lehehehe?" Clairvoyant asked Shi Tianji while eating.
"Is this fun...... Let me tell you this, there are not many things on this table, you eat less, let me eat more. I was happy in my heart, isn't this called happiness? Shi Tianji said, reaching out to a piece of jerky placed in front of clairvoyance.
"This can't be done, let it be given to you, if you are happy, I will not be happy." Clairvoyant quickly grabbed the piece of jerky into his hand.
"Lao Shi, look at it, black brothers are not stupider than you." Bau said.
"Lao Shi, don't look at the two of them on the surface, they look simple, but they can be careful. It's called Neixiu. Hua Xianzu said.
"Yes, Lao Shi, you have to get along with them. According to Commander Hua, the two of them are masters of fishing in the sea. If you don't get along with them, you won't have your share in catching fish in the future. Shi Lang said.
"Two brothers, do you really have this ability?" Shi Tianji asked clairvoyance and shunfeng ears.
"That's still false. The two of us can go underwater and eat raw fish and shrimp. For two or three days without coming out of the water. Clairvoyant said.
"Catching fish is a piece of cake for us." Shunfeng Ear added.
"Ouch, my two good brothers. From now on, we will be brothers, if there is anything you need my help with, just say. Shi Tianji affectionately stretched out his hands and hugged the clairvoyant and Shunfeng ear who were sitting on both sides of his body.
"Oh, that's true. For the sake of two bites, Lao Shi's face is like a June day, and he will change when he says it. Du Heng sighed.
"Yes, yes. Lao Shi, people can't just disregard their dignity for that little bit of food. Bau echoed Du Hengdao.
"I can't care so much. Anyway, I know that people are iron, rice is steel, and I am hungry if I don't eat a meal. Shi Tianji said
"Brother Shi, this is called knowing current affairs." Ye Ruliu said.
"Yes, yes, knowing current affairs, isn't there a saying that those who know current affairs are junjie. Or my eldest sister understands me. Shi Tianji saw that Ye Ruliu helped him, and he was grateful.
"Everyone, just eat, and when you're done eating these, I'll take it again." Li Youmei said.
"Hey, by the way, Miss Li, I forgot to ask, is your home in Busan? Who else is in the house? Shi Lang asked Li Youmei.
"My hometown is in Shaxi Village, not far south of Busan. There were four people in the family, including my parents and my brother. When I was eight years old, my parents sent me to a brothel in Busan for training, so that not only would there be one less person to eat, but my parents would also receive a sum of money from the brothel and I could learn a craft to earn a living.
"After the Japanese occupied Busan last year, they burned and looted everywhere. Our village of Shaxi has not been spared. In order to protect my brother, my parents both died under the swords of the Japanese people. Now the elder brother is left alone in the family to make a living by fishing. After Li Youmei finished speaking, her eyes were already full of tears.
"There is no resurrection from the dead. We should take heart and avenge the death of our loved ones. Ye Ruliu affectionately hugged Li Youmei's shoulders and comforted.
"We set off from Shaxi Village and landed on Jueying Island. Miss Li, after the Japanese people have searched the outlying islands, let's set off tonight, take advantage of the darkness to go to your Shaxi Village, and from there rush to Busan City. Do you think it's okay? Shi Lang said.
"Okay, as long as I can avenge my parents, I will do anything for you."
"Good. Commander Hua, after dark, you, I, Miss Li, and Ru Liu set off by boat and rushed to Shaxi Village. By the way, Zhuqing, I think you should go down to the island with us. Shi Lang said.
"Okay. I've figured it out now that it's not what I'm supposed to do. I'll go down to the island with you. Zhu Qing finally changed her mind and decided to leave Jerukage Island.
As soon as the time arrived, Shi Lang and Hua Xianzu, who were about to leave the island, bid farewell to the others who stayed on the island, boarded the small boat hidden in the culvert on the south side of Jueying Island, and rowed to Shaxi Village south of Busan at night.
For the sake of safety and convenience in observing the enemy's situation, the surviving personnel on the island no longer lived in the three houses, and all of them moved to the cave where Cambodian and Zhuqing lived.
