Chapter Twenty-Four: Ono's Promotion
On a hillside at the foot of Rolling Horse Mountain, all the guerrillas stood solemnly with sad and indignant expressions.
The corpses of the sacrificed comrades were so badly decomposed that they could no longer see their original faces, especially the two children, whose thin bodies were covered with scars, and whip marks were still clearly visible on their already blue-black skin.
Liu Cheng took a deep breath and didn't let the tears flow out of his eyes.
In his previous life, he had always been alone, had no children, and naturally did not experience the joy of family with children around his knees.
But when he saw the corpses of the two children, a kind of anger wrapped in a thick sadness inexplicably appeared in his heart!
This feeling was something he had never felt before, even though he was already accustomed to the battlefield of flesh and blood and corpses everywhere, but at this moment, he couldn't face those two petite corpses.
Liu Cheng's hatred for Ono Taro reached its extreme at this moment.
He once thought that he was already full of hatred, but he never knew that it was such a feeling to hate to the extreme.
When Liu Laoshi and his wife died, he also hated them, but after all, they were not his parents in his previous life, and fundamentally speaking, they were complete strangers.
Liu Cheng wanted to avenge them, completely out of sympathy, as well as responsibility for this body.
But the deaths of these two children completely inspired and escalated the hatred of the Japanese in his heart!
In his previous life, he had also seen the tragic situation after the devil slaughtered the village, but that kind of anger was not worth mentioning at all compared to the present.
After a hundred years of vicissitudes, seeing all this again, the anger became more concrete, and the hatred became more condensed.
After leaving the hillside, Liu Chengcheng immediately rushed back to Panshi County.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhenguo stopped him, muttered for a long time, and only said one sentence:
"Don't act rashly!"
Liu Cheng stared at his eyes hiding behind the lenses for a long time before nodding heavily and turning to leave.
He knew what Zhang Zhenguo was worried about, and at this time, he really couldn't be rash, and the slightest carelessness would cause a big disaster.
If you want to kill Ono, there is indeed a chance.
But what about after killing him? Will the Japanese give up? The next person to take over will definitely take advantage of the problem, and it will be the innocent people who will suffer.
A few days later, in the morning, Liu Cheng had just removed the door panel of the grain store when he found Qian Delu's chubby body standing at the door.
Seeing Liu Cheng, Qian Delu immediately greeted him with a smile:
"Little brother, I haven't seen him for a few days, go and tell Shopkeeper Feng that Qian has come to see him."
Before Liu Cheng could speak, Feng Yuhe's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Qian Delu, you really dare to come!"
Qian Delu smiled "hehe", immediately walked into the grain store, and arched his hand towards Feng Yuhe with a salivating face:
"Brother Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my brother has been thinking about you...... You two? ”
The expression on Feng Yuhe's face changed, and he snorted coldly and said:
"Qian Delu, don't kick your nose in the face! Do you really think I don't dare to do anything to you?! ”
Qian Delu found a chair and sat down, looking at Feng Yuhe with slanted eyes:
"What did Brother Feng say? The brother knows that Brother Feng is now an important person in the eyes of Ono Taijun, but after all, the brother is doing things for the imperial army, does Brother Feng think that ......"
Feng Yuhe slammed the abacus in his hand on the counter and interrupted Qian Delu's words:
"Get out!"
The expression on Qian Delu's face stiffened, and gradually became gloomy, he leaned his body into the mahogany carved chair, pushed his round belly up twice, stretched out his hands in the air and grabbed them twice, looked at Feng Yuhe defiantly and said:
"Feng Yuhe, don't forget, we have a 'friendship'!"
Liu Cheng saw that Feng Yuhe's blue tendons in the corners of his forehead had flaret up at this time, and he was obviously extremely angry.
Combined with the words that Qian Delu said last time and his current movements and expressions, Liu Cheng had already vaguely guessed the reason.
At this time, Qian Delu stood up with a presumptuous laugh, walked up to Feng Yuhe and said:
"Okay, Brother Feng, don't be angry, I'm here to hand over official business to Ono Taijun this time, my team has changed guards, go to Yitong Yingzi City, if Brother Feng or Mrs. Feng misses me, you can go there to find me."
After speaking, Qian Delu didn't wait for Feng Yuhe to react, then turned around and walked towards the door.
Feng Yuhe's hand that had been placed under the counter never took it out, and he just stared at Qian Delu and walked out of the grain store with a wild smile, his teeth clenched, and he didn't say a word.
After Qian Delu walked away, Liu Cheng walked to the counter and called "boss" tentatively.
Feng Yuhe sighed heavily for a long time, waved his hand at Liu Cheng, staggered out from behind the counter, and entered the backyard.
Liu Cheng guessed that the feud between Feng Yuhe and Qian Delu must be related to the mysterious proprietress , but why Feng Yuhe was so forbearing, Liu Chengcheng didn't know.
However, the news that the Seventh Company is going to change its guard is very important, and Meng Jiemin has been there for more than a month, and I don't know how the mobilization work is doing.
Not long after Qian Delu left, Ono sent a devil soldier to inform Feng Yuhe that he would send food to the Seventh Company again before noon the next day.
Early the next morning, Liu Chengcheng left the rock with several carriage drivers and drove to Chimney Hill with grain.
When unloading the grain, Liu Cheng found that they had already packed all their things, and it seemed that they would set off that day.
This time, Meng Jiemin saw Liu Cheng, deliberately passed by him with a bag of grain, and whispered four words:
"This afternoon."
Liu Cheng knew what Meng Jiemin meant, it was the time when the seventh company was opened.
After leaving Chimney Mountain, he immediately rushed to Blackstone Town and told Zhang Zhenguo the news.
At this time, Taro Ono was leisurely leaning back in the large and comfortable sofa chair, squinting at the blue sky outside the window.
Zhang Zhenguo and the others left the rock that day, and Ono returned less than three hours after they left.
But he didn't get angry at all.
The reason is very simple, he has just been promoted to squadron leader, awarded the rank of captain, and is leaving the rock and stationing in Huadian.
And it was those corpses that gave him this chance to be promoted.
Although they have been continuously increasing their troops since 918, they still seem to be somewhat overstretched in the face of the northeast, which is several times larger than their territory.
Although Ono's operation cost more than gain, it shocked the people to a certain extent, which made Nomura happy, and promoted him to the rank of squadron leader of the 4th Infantry Squadron under his command.
