Chapter Twenty-Three: Snatching Corpses
As soon as Qian Delu saw Liu Cheng, to be precise, when he saw the grain on the carriage, the fat on his face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum, and he said to Liu Cheng with a sigh of teeth:
"Little brother has worked hard, come on, come on, eat here with me before leaving."
Liu Cheng didn't refuse, and followed Qian Delu into the house.
After sitting down, Qian Delu asked Liu Cheng with a salivating face:
"Shopkeeper Feng, everything is okay?"
Liu Cheng nodded:
"Thanks to the blessing of the company commander, the shopkeeper is fine."
But Qian Delu's next sentence immediately changed its flavor:
"So, what about Madame Feng? Is it okay too? ”
Liu Cheng was stunned, speaking of which Feng Yuhe's wife was really a little mysterious, he had been in Feng Ji Grain Store for a few months, and he hadn't seen this proprietress once.
But of course he couldn't say these words to Qian Delu, so he just nodded prevaricatingly.
But Qian Delu's next words are less and less like human words:
"Go back and bring a message to your shopkeeper Feng, and say that when Qian is free, he will go to visit Mrs. Feng."
Although Liu Cheng was disgusted, because he was not clear about the situation, it was not easy to reveal it on the surface, so he could only say as a difficulty:
"Company Commander Qian, this ......"
Chandlu laughed "haha":
"Just kidding, just kidding, just say that Qian will go to visit Shopkeeper Feng."
When he was about to leave after eating, Liu Cheng saw Meng Jiemin who was standing guard, but Meng Jiemin didn't see him.
Back at the rock, he told Feng Yuhe what Qian Delu said as it was, but Feng Yuhe just smiled and didn't say anything.
When the door closed at night, Feng Yuhe said to himself when he passed by Liu Cheng's side:
"I heard that early the day after tomorrow, Ono will take most of the Japanese soldiers out of the rock and come back before dark, and I don't know what to do."
Liu Cheng's heart moved.
He knew that Feng Yuhe was deliberately telling him the news.
The bodies of the fallen comrades and their families were already rotting and stinking, and they were hanging from the poles all the time.
Ono's purpose in doing this was to deter the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, to make the people think that this so-called guerrilla force did not even dare to snatch the corpses of their comrades, and was not worthy of trust and support at all.
Zhang Zhenguo has always wanted to find an opportunity to retrieve the bodies of these sacrificed comrades and their families, and this is indeed an opportunity.
After the Rock Guerrillas merged into the Rock Red Guerrillas, the number had reached more than 50 people, but they did not have decent weapons in their hands, so they were never able to do so.
According to Feng Yuhe, this is indeed an opportunity.
Early the next morning, Liu Chengcheng told the news to Li Erniu, who came to the city to inquire about the news.
The next morning, Liu Cheng had been carefully observing the situation on the street, and sure enough, as Feng Yuhe said, before seven o'clock, Xiao Ye took forty-two devils out of the city and headed straight for the southeast.
At around ten o'clock, there was a sudden gunfire in the south of the city, and Liu Cheng immediately left the grain store and went straight to the street where the body was.
Since sending the news back, Liu Chengcheng has been worried.
Worried about the authenticity of Feng Yuhe's news, worried that this is Ono's trap.
But if this opportunity is given up because of these uncertainties, what if it is real, the bodies of those comrades who sacrificed and their families? Do you want to hang there forever?
So while telling Li Erniu the news, he told his worries and let Zhang Zhenguo decide whether to come or not.
If they don't come, Liu Cheng will choose to go by himself, at least to snatch back the bodies of the two children first.
He bought some firecrackers in advance, poured out the gunpowder inside to make improvised explosives, and wrapped two bags of lime outside, preparing to create chaos and take advantage of the opportunity to snatch the corpses.
The people brought by Akai Akimoto had already left, and Liu Cheng could be sure that there would be no more than fifteen devils in Panshi County now.
Feng Yuhe's news is indeed true, but Ono is not completely unprepared.
This time he left because he had to leave because he received an order.
In order to prevent the guerrillas from coming to snatch the corpses, Ono deliberately left four machine guns.
With such a firepower arrangement, even if the guerrillas really dared to come, they would inevitably have to pay a heavy price.
Now, Zhang Zhenguo and the others are suppressed in a corner by the devil's firepower, and they are in a dilemma.
Although they came from two directions, the devils had four machine guns, and they didn't have the slightest chance at all.
If this stalemate continues, not only will the corpses not be snatched, but the guerrillas will suffer heavy losses.
When Liu Cheng arrived, Yang Lin was discussing the retreat with Zhang Zhenguo.
He handed over the "lime bomb" he was dragging in his hand to Wang Gensheng and said loudly:
"In a moment, throw it over!"
At that time, when Liu Cheng was making this "lime bomb", he considered that his strength was not enough, so he deliberately made it round.
At this time, the distance between everyone and those devils was about 30 meters, and with Wang Gensheng's strength, he could at least throw the 40 catties of "lime bombs" out of 20 meters.
Liu Cheng calculated in his heart, cut off a fuse and immediately lit it, and shouted loudly to Wang Gensheng:
"Throw it away!"
Wang Gen stood up violently, raised the "lime bomb" and threw it out.
The length of the fuze reserved by Liu Cheng was just right, and when the "lime bomb" fell, the fuse had already ignited into the lime layer, so it was not extinguished.
When the devil saw such a round rumbling thing thrown from the opposite side, he immediately concentrated his fire on it, but it only stirred up streams of lime.
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, half of the street was shrouded in a white mist, and there was almost no one on the other side.
Zhang Zhenguo stood up and shouted:
"Everyone, watch your eyes, rush with me!"
When Li Min on the other side saw such a situation, he immediately rushed up with someone.
Because those devils were in the center of the explosion, the lime falling from the sky fell into their eyes, and the machine guns in their hands were immediately dumbfounded.
Liu Cheng rushed over with a dagger in his hand, cut the rope first, and put down the bodies of the two children.
In the process of running here, the lime had already dispersed a lot, although a small amount of lime still entered the eyes, but after all, they had prepared in advance and covered their mouths and noses with clothes, so they were not affected too much.
After dealing with those devils, everyone immediately put down the corpses and quickly evacuated the county seat.
After leaving the city, everyone felt some discomfort in their eyes.
Zhang Zhenguo said loudly to everyone:
"Comrades insist on it, don't rub your eyes with your hands, let alone wash them with water, and treat them with rapeseed oil after you go back!"
Liu Cheng glanced at Zhang Zhenguo with some surprise, obviously not expecting Zhang Zhenguo to understand this.
