Chapter 4: Brothers (11B)

The little devils were stunned by the magnificent sight in front of them and the desolate singing in their ears. Time. He actually forgot to continue shooting at Zhao Tianlong. Watching him turn the yellow fat horse. Walk away. Until his back was out of range of the machine gun. Only then did he suddenly come back to his senses. Not without embarrassment, pointing to the river and yelling." Fish. Fish. That's a lot of fish. There is still living water under this river. I don't know if the ice is strong enough."

"Who's that guy who threw the grenade just now?" Mitsui Tachibana Nakasa's thinking is never the same as everyone else's. pulled a handful of Sakai Takaaki, who shouted with everyone. Asked sharply.

"Yes. It's the Irumo Dragon. It is. It's the one named Zhao Tianlong on the wanted warrant. He is now the petty leader of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army." Takaaki Sakai didn't dare to hide it. Tell yourself what you know and tell me what you know. Previously, Mitsui Tachibana was picking up and chasing the target. Deliberately made the opposite choice to him. This made him very worried. I am afraid that the other party will find out that I am because I can see that the hoof prints left by the Oriental horses on the snow are different from those of the local horses. I deliberately chose another group of opponents.

This. It's Sakai Takaaki who has a lot of heart. The reason why Tachibana Mitsui deliberately did not choose the same opponent as him. It's because I don't believe in his luck. And not that he does not believe in his loyalty. After all, the nickname of waste Sakai is not called for nothing. Mitsui Nakasa has a great future. I don't want to be like my predecessor. Dragged down by the bad luck of this waste, he can't even keep his old nest. It was only half a month after he took office that he was recalled by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to wait for disposal.

Compared to Sakai's wise guidance. Tachibana Mitsui trusts his experience more." Well. The one with the Walter pistol. It is certain that the official rank is greater than Zhao Tianlong. Otherwise. The one who just stayed to demonstrate to me. It won't be Zhao Tianlong." He pointed to the other side with his hand. His voice rose sharply. Kobayashi. You drove me to the forefront. Let's make the way for everybody. If the ice is not solid. I'll be the first to fall into the river."

"Yes." The driver, Kobayashi, agreed. Slowly start shifting and accelerating. The drivers of the other four cars saw this. Hurriedly stepped on the accelerator. Drive crookedly. Rushed into the river before the Mitsui orange tree.

Even if the devil soldiers don't see their commanders anymore. I don't dare to let my boss go to the ice cave for me. What's more, this Mitsui Nakasa. Still notoriously ruthless. Small-bellied chicken intestines. Present. Several veterans who had fought in the snowfields of the Northeast jumped out of the carriage. Race to the front of the entire convoy. Push away the snow with your hands and feet. The thickness of the ice is judged by the color of the ice surface. Other soldiers jumped behind the car. Pushing the butt of the cart with your hands. In case the friction of the tires entangled in the iron chain is still not large enough. Causing the car to slip on the ice.

It turns out. Their work is just a matter of adding to the story. Almost all the rivers in the steppe are seasonal rivers. No matter how abundant the water is during the flood season. It's dry season. The flow rate and flow rate are also pitifully small. The wind was cold enough to freeze to death for months. The ice crust on the surface of the river is three feet thick. Not only can an empty car crush the ice. Even if everyone jumped into the car. It's the same as the ice.

Due to the lack of understanding of the hydrological situation on the steppe. To cross this narrow river safely. The devils spent half an hour more than the guerrillas. But after crossing the river safely. The advantages of the semi-mechanized troops were soon brought to the extreme by them again. Continue to chase along the trail of horses' hooves in the snow. More than half an hour passed. Just below the sides of two tall snow dunes. Bit the guerrillas' tail again.

The ground suddenly became very soft under the wheels. Seriously affects the speed of the car. But at the same time, it also affected the Eighth Route Cavalry in front. It's going to be in the desert right away. If the guerrillas cannot be intercepted before dark. Cold wind in the desert at night. It is possible that both sides of the chase are frozen at the same time next to the snow-covered dunes. In case the wind blows without opening your eyes. That's even more dangerous. The overwhelming sand does not matter which one is Chinese. Which is Japanese. For millions of years. For any creatures that trespass into their territory. They have only one means of coping. Blown down with a cold wind. Cover with sand. Cover. until the other person can't breathe. Completely turned into a dried corpse under the dunes.

"Machine gun." Tachibana Mitsui doesn't want to continue this boring chase any longer. Pointing to the back of an officer in front of him. Command loudly." Concentrate fire. Stop him for me. Driver. How fast can you drive and how fast you can drive. I don't believe it. Their horses are sturdier than the military vehicles of the Great Japanese Empire."

"Hi Yi." The Heavy and the driver shouted yes. At the same time, they did everything they could. The roar of the motor. The machine-gun bullet pulls out a long red trajectory. Skimming through the space of five or six hundred meters. The fight made snow droplets splash around the guerrillas.

Da Zhou turned around and returned a shuttle. But because it's too far away. Didn't get any effect. Other partisans also turned from their horses. Aim at the devil's car and fire. But the precision range of the medium rifle is inherently short. The mount under the crotch is too bumpy. Their bullets also fell into the air. Didn't cause any casualties to the devils.

"You go. I'll stay and hit the block." Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more critical. The Heavy turned his horse around the week. Turn around and rush to a dune closest to you. I didn't wait for everyone to exclaim. He had already swooped down from his horse. Mounted the machine gun on the snow at the top of the dune. Aimed at the devil car chasing the front, he pulled the trigger again.

"Dangdangdang......" bullet landed on the iron shell on the front side of the car. Splash out countless sparks. The car that was roaring forward shuddered. Slowly stopped. The machine gunner Da Zhou did not hesitate. Another shuttle bullet under the cockpit of the car. Several flames rose from the engine that had leaked oil. Quickly turned the entire car into a huge fireball.

The devil soldiers in the car don't want to be burned alive. Holding rifles, machine guns. Jumping out of the car in a panic and running for his life. The machine gunners on several other cars also didn't care about chasing Zhao Tianlong, Lu Feng and the others. They turned their guns around. Trying to suppress the machine guns on the dunes with superior firepower. The machine gunner Da Zhou didn't bother to compete with the devil for firepower. Turn the muzzle. Quickly aim at another car. A few spot shots. He knocked the front of the car into billowing smoke.

"Open fire. Oshika no Suke. You waste. Why don't you fire yet.." Mitsui Tachibana was furious. While directing the devil soldiers to extinguish the fire. While shouting and scolding.

"Hi Yi." The artillery soldier Cao Xiaolu Nosuke, who was named, responded loudly. With the help of two other devil soldiers, he set up the Ninety-Seven Infantry Cannon." Sou... Sou... Whoosh.." Three shells detached from the muzzle one after the other. Smashed on a sand dune three hundred meters away. Blowing up the dust in the sky.

The firing of Czech machine guns stopped abruptly. The frustrated devils cheered loudly. However. They didn't wait for their cheers to fall. In the smoke and dust. The figure of another guerrilla stood up from where Da Zhou had fallen. Holding the light machine gun with both hands. Aiming at the laughing beasts, they spat out strings of fiery snakes.

"Da-da-da-da. Da da da. Da da da. Da Da Da ......" with a bright rhythm. Bullets flew out of the dust. The devil soldiers are holding their heads and running away.

The machine gunners who were hiding behind the wrench of the carriage concentrated their fire and launched a counterattack. Countless fiery snakes swept through the air alternately. Hit the guerrilla in front of and behind him. Like an iron giant. The man was dismissive of the oncoming bullets. Continue to play the melody of life and death in the Czech way." Da da da. Da da da. Da Da Da Da ......." "Da Da Da. Da da da. Da Da Da Da ......." "Da Da Da. Da da da. Da Da Da ......."

With the wind. Accompanied by sand. With snow. Accompanied by a drunken sunset. He played to his heart's content. Strumming." Da da da. Da da da. Da Da Da Da ......." "Da Da Da. Da da da. Da Da Da Da ......." "Da Da Da. Da da da. Da Da Da ......."

That unrhymed movement. Forever left in the desert. Until decades later. There are still travelers who can still hear its melody.

With the time that Heavy Da Zhou and another robe exchanged for their lives. Zhao Tianlong and the others ran out four or five miles away. The sun has set behind the dunes. The sunset sprinkled with ten thousand tassels. Will be an endless desert after snow. Dressed in red and purple. Extraordinarily enchanting.

I glanced back at the desert sunset. Guerrilla leader Lu Feng pointed to a particularly smooth and smooth snow field more than a hundred meters away in front of the left. Gritting his teeth and commanding." Let's go over there. The little devil is about to catch up again. If you don't let them break their muscles and bones today. If you don't get it, the big guys will have to stay in the desert."

"Hmm." Zhao Tianlong and the others agreed in a sullen voice. Jump off the mount. Gently tug on the reins of the warhorse.

The warhorse, which knows human nature, snorts uneasily. Four Hoof Battle. Wandering reluctant to move on. They don't want to go down that overly flat snow. Although they don't know exactly what dangers are hidden under the snow. Normal desert. The surface is generally in the form of water waves. Only the surface of swamps and salt lakes would be so flat. Flat and smooth like a piece of satin. There is no wrinkle in a radius of several miles.

However, the owner who was pulling the reins was decided. He refused to heed the horse's pleadings. Step by step on the snow. Walk towards the set goal. The terrified mount could not resist his master. I had to stagger and follow. Worn horse's hooves trampled in the snow foam. Leaving a clear cloud of red.

Crimson horseshoe prints. It continues to stretch towards the sudden appearance of flat areas in the desert. Extend. Stretches from the edge to the center. From the center to the other side, continue to the edge. Finally. There was a war horse that stepped into a trap set by nature. The front leg was folded into two pieces. Deputy Captain Lu Feng immediately stopped. Cut the throat of the war horse with a dagger. And then. Raise your head quickly. Shouted orders at Zhao Tianlong." That's it. I'm staying here to entertain the little devils. The three of you continue to walk with Xiao Zhang........"

"Why.." Didn't wait for him to finish. Zhao Tianlong had already reached out and pulled him up." It's my turn this time. Why did you get the first shot?"

"By virtue of the fact that I am the captain." Lu Feng, who has never been angry with anyone, suddenly became angry. pushed Zhao Tianlong to a stumbling point." Come on. Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu. I don't have the time to fight with you."

"Vice." Zhao Tianlong rushed forward angrily. Holding Lu Feng in both hands, he lifted it up to the horse. Vice. Even if it's positive. I won't listen to you today. Balls. You went back and opened Lao Tzu."

The other two fighters also gathered around. Grab your arms and pull your thighs. Tried to tie Lu Feng to the back of the horse and drive him away. The latter struggled a few times but could not get his wish. He jerked out his pistol from his waist. First fired a shot at the ground. Then he pointed his gun at his temple and shouted. Put it down. I count one, two, three. Otherwise. I'm going to die right now at the hands of a few of you."

The partisans were suppressed. Hesitantly let go of his hands. Deputy Captain Lu Fengqiang endured the pain from the wound and twisted his shoulder. Broke free from Zhao Tianlong's arms. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "When are you still working against me?" Even if I'm not your captain. On age, too, older than you.. Lao Tzu still has wounds on his body. Lao Tzu also married a daughter-in-law and had a baby. You haven't even fucking been under a woman's bed. Why can't I get ahead of you?"

A barrage of counterattacks. Zhao Tianlong was speechless. While he was stunned. Deputy Captain Lu Feng changed his tone. Whispered, "Even none of this is a reason. You also have to think about Zhang and the brothers. A few of us. Who else is more familiar with the nearby terrain than you. Since Zhou Heizi has already thrown us off as a burden. Who can guarantee that this map he gave is genuine. I'm dead. It's just me alone. You die. None of the others will survive."

Say it. Ignore Zhao Tianlong anymore. Squat down. Turn out the grenades in your bag one by one. Posing behind the corpse of a dead horse.

"Captain." Zhao Tianlong shouted with red eyes. Turn your head. Pulled up the big white horse carrying Zhang Songling and staggered away. The other two partisans looked at each other. Raise your hands in unison. He gave a military salute to Deputy Captain Lu Feng. Then pull all the mounts. Quickly followed behind Zhao Tianlong.

Sudden changes through a telescope. Nothing missed in the eyes of the pursuers. Mitsui Tachibana looked so wondering. Turn your head. He asked all the devil officers around him, "Have you all seen it? How did that guy leave their chief behind? What is that old guy doing. It's as if he's waiting for us to come and capture him."

"Yes. It could be a trap." The devil officers hold up their binoculars. Take turns looking straight ahead more than 1,000 meters away. The old man next to the dead horse's corpse had a very delicate pistol pinned to his waist. It depends. This person should be the target of Chief Mitsui's plan this time. But no matter according to the rules of the Imperial Japanese Army. Or the tradition of the National Revolutionary Army. There was no commander left to cut off the soldiers below. Unless the chief himself suddenly doesn't want to live. Or there is a shocking conspiracy hidden in the heart.

"Ken. It's definitely a trap." Takaaki Sakai, who has always been known for his timidity, took everyone's talk. Shout in affirmative." That. That area is flatter than the rest of the place. It's too flat. Can. Probably a lake. Lakes."

"There are lakes in the desert." Mitsui Tachibana glanced at Takaaki Sakai. Some don't quite believe this nonsense. in his impression. Since it's a desert. That must be an extreme lack of water. If there is a natural lake in between. How can there be no grass?

"Lakes. How is that possible.." Other devil officers and soldiers. He also scoffed at Sakai's statement." Even if it's a lake. What can he do. The river was frozen enough to drive a tank. The lake is dead. Could it be that the ice on it will be thinner than living water."

This question is too difficult. Far beyond the scope of Sakai's knowledge. His face immediately turned red. Pointing to a target that is getting closer and closer. couldn't help muttering: "He. . . He definitely has. There is a scheme. You. You see. He. He's still in the mood to smoke. Smoking."

It's getting dark. Even without the help of a telescope. The devil officers could also see clearly that there was an orange-red bright spot at the corner of the target's mouth that was slowly flashing. This makes them feel more and more worried. The shouting is loud though. But the tone became more and more relaxed. Plot. He's alone. What can be done. Do you want to trick us into blowing us up with a grenade? The same when. How could we. We're definitely not going to do it a second time."

"Machine guns. Sweep two shuttles beside him. Note. Don't kill him." Crow-like noise. It makes Mitsui Tachibana very uneasy. Side turn head. Order the Heavy to test the fire first. The same frightened Heavy immediately pulled the trigger. At the deputy captain Lu Feng's body is two shuttles. Bullets go into the snow. Leaving small black holes. Deputy Captain Lu Feng didn't seem to see it. Continue to lazily smoke a dry tobacco pouch." Let's go. Let's go. "It'......s like an old farmer. Waiting for the crops to ripen.

"Kobayashi-kun. Be careful not to go too fast. Don't get too close to him." Mitsui Tachibana was a little weak by the other party's calmness. Keep your head down. Alert the driver in the cab.

"Hi Yi." The driver, Kobayashi, agreed. Pull the car gear to the lowest. The other two intact cars also took the initiative to slow down. The car with Mitsui Tachibana is fan-shaped. They looked after each other and surrounded the old man who was smoking.

The wheels slid violently. Then it slowly returned to smoothness. At a distance of about two hundred and fifty meters from the old man. The wheels did touch the ice again. But it's hard. Enough to bear the weight of a car. Nevertheless. Mitsui Tachibana cautiously drove all the soldiers down. Ordered them to follow the car on foot. Then he pointed his saber at the old man who was smoking. Shouted: "Surrender. You've done your best. There is no point in resisting any longer. As long as you lay down your arms. I promise to give you the respect that an officer deserves."

"Snort." Lu Feng let out a sneer. Pick up the pipe. I didn't knock on the soles of my shoes. Then slowly pull out the pistol from his waist.

It was indeed Walter P38.The soft bones of the Manchurian Army did not lie.Mitsui Tachibana's eyes immediately lit up.Lowered his voice.Commanded the devil officers around him." Summons the order to go down. No one is allowed to kill him. It has to be caught alive."

"No one is allowed to kill him. It must be caught alive."" No one is allowed to kill him. It must be caught alive."" No one is allowed to kill him. Otherwise. Chief Mitsui won't let you go." The devil officers also knew that they might have caught a big fish this time. Rip your throat open. Deliver orders to your immediate subordinates in Japanese. Soon. The devil soldiers who followed the car raised their guns. I am afraid that I will accidentally go off and kill my prey. Severely punished by the superiors.

Deputy Captain Lu Feng couldn't understand Japanese. But from the devils' actions. I saw the other party's intentions. Sneered and shook his head. Slowly walked behind the corpse of the war horse. Carefully place the pistol on the horse first. Then squat down. Rummaging through your luggage.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and put your hands up." Takaaki Sakai is afraid of being fooled. Before the chief speaks. Ask loudly in Chinese." Don't waste your energy fiddling with grenades. Only a fool would fall for it twice in a row. Hands up. Come over on your own. Otherwise. We're going to shoot."

Deputy Captain Lu Feng pursed his lips contemptuously. Continue to squat and fiddle in the ground. Takaaki Sakai felt insulted. Pick up your rifle. Wrap your prey's arm with a crosshair. I was about to give the other party a dismount first. Tachibana Mitsui lifted the muzzle of the gun with all his might. No shooting. Didn't you hear what I just commanded? In case you hit the point. Wouldn't all our day's hard work be in vain?"

"He. . . He ....... "Takaaki Sakai pointed at Lu Feng. Defend yourself in a hurry." He. He's the kind of person. It is simply impossible to surrender . He ......"

"How do you know that there is no way he will surrender. in the Northeast. I've caught a lot of these resisters with my own hands. Although capturing them alive takes some thought. But once they can be conquered. All of them have made significant contributions to the Empire." Tachibana Mitsui glared at him. Interrupt loudly.

Sakai Takaaki didn't dare to contradict his boss. I was so anxious that beads of sweat rolled down my forehead. Among the volunteers of the Northeast. Indeed, there have been a lot of soft bones. Pingsu led his brothers to be majestic. It's really a desperate situation. Immediately the original form is revealed. Not only did he raise his hands and become a prisoner. And also led the devils to chase and kill the previous robe.

In fact, it's not just the Northeast Volunteers. On the prairie. There is no shortage of Jiang Hulu's kind of bad situation. He immediately chose to be a traitor "smart man", but the old man smoking in front of him was definitely not one of the smart people. He doesn't have the temperament to make soft bones. He also behaves at a much calmer pace than those "smart people".

"You can rest assured. I'm not going to give him any chance." Knowing Takaaki Sakai is out of kindness. Tachibana Mitsui, who is the commander, also doesn't want to discourage his subordinates too much. Nodding. continued: "I remember all your performance today. Your dismissal will be considered as appropriate after you go back. Next......."

There was a pause. He bowed his head and commanded in the carriage. Don't get too close. Just stop here. So far away. I'll see what else he can do."

"Crunch.. Chirping.. Squeak."" Crunch.. Chirping.. Squeak."" Crunch.. Chirping.. Squeak." With the tooth-aching sound of brakes. Three cars slid fifteen or six meters out of the ice. One after another, they stopped.

It is calculated that there are still more than 30 meters away from the prey. Far beyond the grenade explosion range. Tachibana Mitsui tidied up his clothes. In a very seductive tone, he shouted at his prey: "Surrender. I promise to find the best doctor to treat you. If you don't want to be an enemy of your own men. I can also send you to the Northeast. Stay away from this sad place. I know you must be hiding a grenade next to you. I'm not going to risk my own soldiers. Give you another three minutes to think about it. If you are willing to cooperate with the Imperial Japanese Army. You drop your weapon. Walk slowly by yourself. If you don't give me an answer after three minutes. So. I had to give the order to fire. Although I admire your bravery in my heart."

"I want to give you a chance, too." Deputy Captain Lu Feng slowly straightened his waist. With your hands behind your back. Looking into the eyes of Mitsui Tachibana from afar. Unhurried, unhurried." From now on, turn around and run back. There is still hope that you will leave alive. Otherwise. Today next year. It's your death day."

"Hahahaha......" as if hearing a rare joke. Tachibana Mitsui shuddered with laughter. Is this a threat? On what basis. The pistol in front of you. It's still the forty-eight petals hidden at your feet."

"With this being China." Deputy Captain Lu Feng has been quietly waiting for the other party. Until Mitsui Tachibana laughs enough. I responded with a very proud voice. Raise your arms. Let a few grenades tied together fall freely downward.

"Boom."" Boom."" Boom." A series of grenade explosions. Tearing Lu Feng's body to shreds. The ice beneath his feet rose like a boil. Transform into countless sparkling crystals in the twilight. Drag the brilliant trajectory around the splash. A few small grains of ice slag fell on Mitsui's face. The blow made his face tingle slightly. Habitually sticking out his tongue and licking it. In the mouth there is a strong bitter saltiness.

"Phew. How can it be salty." While spitting out vigorously. He asked in surprise.

"Saltwater lake. Here is the saltwater lake...... "Right now. Standing beside him, Sakai suddenly screamed. Hold the carriage board with both hands. Jump down with agility you've never seen before.

"Saltwater lake. This is a saltwater lake. Fast reverse. Reversing." Mitsui Tachibana Tree Suddenly Awakened. Clenched your hands into fists and smashed into the top of the cab. Urge the driver to hurry up and run for his life.

It's too late. The earth was originally as smooth as silk. It was as if I had suddenly been awakened from my sleep. Stretch hard for a lazy waist. Immediately after. Several huge cracks. At a speed visible to the naked eye, it staggered in all directions from where Lu Feng had disappeared. Three cars fell into the ice crevasse first. Then there are the devil soldiers who fled for their lives in panic. In the dark. It was as if countless pairs of big hands were catching up with them from behind. Combine them one by one. Pull into an icy saltwater lake. Accept the Last Judgment.

"With this being China." In the moment of being swallowed up by the glacial lake. Mitsui Tachibana seemed to hear the voice of the old man smoking again. Unhurried. Full of pride.
