Chapter 2: Countercurrent (5 I)

"Yes." Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Songling agreed. Riding a war horse and rushing out of the door. In order to prevent a sneak attack by enemy troops. The mountain road leading to the camp was narrow and steep. There are several places that are close to the cliffs. Be a little careless. Men and horses may rush down the valley. Broken tendons and fractures. But neither of them dared to slow down. Completely by virtue of extraordinary courage and skillful riding. Led a small group of cavalry behind him to rush to the bottom of the mountain at full speed. Then he raised the lantern to make a little bit of a sense of direction. He rushed at full speed to the village south of the mountain.

Waiting for the group to rush to the village where Xiao Wu, the head of the telecommunications team, had an accident. The members of the village council and the militia have completely regained control of the situation. Don't wait for Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Songling to ask. Immediately gather around and come forward. Report loudly: "Master Long. Fatso. It was the agents of Manchukuo who arrested Team Leader Wu. They slipped into the village separately under the guise of coming to buy mountain goods. and then secretly hid in the old Xie's house in the east of the village. The daughter of the old Xie family. Married to a Manchu in Shenyang as a little wife........"

"The surname is Xie." Zhao Tianlong didn't have time to listen to the rambling of the members of the village committee. Wide-eyed questioning.

"Already. It's been tied up and put in the mill. Whole. The whole family of four. One. Not a single one was left behind." The first democratically elected village chief was surnamed Liu. He's a reclamation man. There are four sons in the family. More than 100 acres of watered land. Seeing that Zhao Tianlong's face was not good. Come forward. Explained tremblingly. Only. Just waiting for the partisans to send someone to interrogate. I. Inside our village. No one else has anything to do with it."

"Bring it on." Zhao Tianlong waved his hand. Loud commands.

"Also. Why don't you bring it with you?" lest your own family suffer from the fish in the pond. Liu Laohan turned his head. Shouting at the militia.

Several militiamen immediately put down their red tassel guns. Impact Mill. Even pushed and shoved all the members of the old Xie family. Three men and one woman. All of them were staked out.

Zhao Tianlong jumped off his mount. Grab the old traitor surnamed Xie. The splitter is just a couple of big slaps. While playing. He shouted and asked, "Where did the kidnappers come from?" Prepare where to take Xiao Wu. Tell me everything you know. Lao Tzu gives you a good time. Otherwise. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

It is the name of the so-called person. Shadow of a tree. For ordinary people. This name of the Irumo Dragon. But it was far more intimidating than the cavalry captain of any guerrilla army. The old traitor surnamed Xie De was beaten and his face was covered in blood. But they don't dare to delay time. Immediately crying and begging for mercy." Stop it. Stop it. Long Ye. I say. I say. They came from Xinjing. I've been living in my house for the past few days. I'm afraid of implicating our daughter. I have to receive them." (Note 1)

"It's them. They were the ones who forced us to take them in with their guns. We have been wronged. It's wronged." Xie Lao traitor's son and daughter-in-law. They both cried and begged for mercy. It's as if I've suffered a great grievance." We've already figured out how to send a letter to the village council. But they look too closely. The letter was not sent out in time. Tonight evening, they saw Brother Wu Gan practicing his gun at the entrance of the village. said that those who held small guns were all big officials. So. So I followed. Kidnap the Wu cadres."

"Don't talk nonsense. Talking about the point. Where are they going to tie up Team Leader Wu?" Zhao Tianlong raised his foot. gave the son and daughter-in-law of the old traitor a big kick each. Keep shouting and asking.

"I. We don't know." The son and daughter-in-law of the old Han family hesitated. Continue to explain with tears in your eyes." We really don't know. They are tight-mouthed. Don't tell us anything. Ah. Don't hit. Don't hit. I say. I said......."

After a few more kicks. The dog man and woman finally couldn't hold it anymore. Lie on the ground. Rolling confessions." They said they were going to Black Rock Village first. Converged with the Japanese inside. Then he escorted the Wu cadres to the Xing'an Garrison Headquarters to celebrate the achievement. They. They also said. The Japanese in Heishi Village all eat and don't work. I want to do things for the emperor. I have to rely on them, the flag-bearers who are serious about this."

"Dog traitor." Zhao Tianlong spat at the dog man and woman on the ground. Reach for the gun on your waist. For such a vile and shameless villain. He has never shown mercy. Zhang Songling saw this. Quickly poked an arm off the horse's back. Gently pulled him back. At the same time, he asked loudly: "Are there any other accomplices answering? . . . Where are they going to join their accomplices?"

"Nope. I didn't hear of them having accomplices. They tied up the Wu cadres. I ran straight down to the Black Stone Village. Ah. Spare your life. Long Ye. Spare your life. We're really forced."

"It's important to save people. Leave them to the king." Zhang Songling pressed Zhao Tianlong's shoulder again. Prevent him from pulling out his gun and killing people in a fit of rage.

"Let's live one more night." Zhao Tianlong thought about it. I know that my current identity is very different from what it used to be. You can't shoot at someone who doesn't like it at every turn. Yuang, who was forced to endure the killing, cursed. Turn around and jump on your mount. Forthwith. He ordered the trembling village chief Liu again." Lock up this litter of dog traitors. Wait for a few days for a public trial. If you dare to let them go. Your whole village...... You are in this village. Don't think about any more workshops."

"Yes. Long Ye, you can rest assured. Can't run away from them." Members of the village council. Except for one who secretly joined the underground party. Everything else is loudly guaranteed. The scale of the workshop is not large. You can also give seven or eight strong men money to start work. And Captain Fat once said. The felt-rolling workshop is just the first. More workshops will be opened in the future. If the 'money' of the whole village is ruined because of a litter of bastards surnamed Xie, even if the guerrillas can spare a few of their village committee members. Those lads who have nothing to do when the farming season comes. I also had to use two teeth to give them a few scoops behind their backs.

They haven't waited for more commitments. Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Songling had already taken the cavalry to the distance. Follow the country road that leads to the Black Rock Village. Starry Night. In the middle of the night, I was next to a wood. Finally found a few piles of fresh horse manure. Then he continued to jump on his mount. Be on somebody's trail.

With Zhao Tianlong's many years of experience in walking the rivers and lakes. Early the next morning. They were more than a hundred miles from the partisan camp. Finally bit the tail of the puppet Manchukuo agent. But the enemy is already more than five. There were also more than forty horse thieves who became accomplices of the spies. Tie Xiao Wu, the leader of the telecommunications team, to the back of a black war horse in the middle of the team. Clustered forward.

"It's Yellowbeard. Be careful, guys. Yellowbeard is back." Five or six hundred meters apart. Zhao Tianlong recognized the identity of the new entrant in the enemy army. Turn your head. Loud warnings.

"Then kill him again. Let's see how much money he has." I rode on horseback and chased all night. The partisans are exhausted. Nevertheless. Everyone took out their rifles from behind the saddle. While catching up. While pressing the bullet into the chamber of the gun.

"Chase closer. Aim and hit again. Be careful not to hurt Xiao Wu." Zhang Songling also copied a middle formal from the back of the saddle. Quickly press into the five-particle bullet. Compared to the 38 big gayer in the hands of the players behind him. The mid-range he held in his hand was undoubtedly more suitable for firing on horseback. It's just that the effective range is a little shorter. The ballistic stability is not as good as the 38 big gaier in the hands of the devil (Note 2)

Horse thieves and spies running ahead. Apparently the pursuers were also spotted. There are many people on their side. Leaving two puppet Manchukuo agents with three horse thieves to guard Xiao Wu. Others have been circling their mounts. Screaming and killing.

The two sides are rapidly approaching in a Mercedes. The distance between each other has changed from more than 500 meters to less than 200 meters in the blink of an eye. The horse thieves under Yellowbeard opened fire first. Bullets whizz. Pressing against the ears of Zhang Songling and Zhao Tianlong and others, he rushed by. The cavalrymen of the partisan detachment were trained daily in their daily program. There is a way to deal with this situation. One by one, they hid their bodies to the side of the war horses. Carrying a gun in one hand. Continue to charge at the enemy.

"Whew.." A warhorse was hit by a stray bullet. Screaming and falling. The moment before the mount makes contact with the ground. The partisans with rifles in their hands plunged forward. Get out of the horse. By inertia, an arc is drawn in mid-air. The group fell to the ground. Before his companions could exclaim. He had already squatted up from the ground with a tumble. Adopt a half-kneeling position. Pulled the trigger at the enemy on the opposite side.

"Ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong" is compared to the bumpy and undulating horseback. The 38 big lid is obviously more suitable for use on the ground. Three bullets were fired. Immediately pushed a Manchukuo agent from the opposite side off his mount. Never underwent rigorous riding training as an agent. I don't know how to actively reduce the force when the body is in contact with the ground. The big head is down and the ground is in full contact. The whole head is planted in the cavity.

Right now. The distance between us and foe has been reduced to within one hundred and fifty meters. Zhao Tianlong shouted "open fire", and the guerrillas who were hiding in the stirrups quickly turned onto their horses. Aim at the enemy on the opposite side. A volley of hot bullets was fired.

"Ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong......." is still affected by the bumps on horseback. But the effect of a volley of platoon guns far outweighed the indiscriminate firing of unorganized guns. Connection. Five horse thieves screamed and fell. Blood stained on their bodies. I have a lot of air when I look at it. There is less anger.

Zhang Songling's movements are the fastest. After the first shot. Immediately aimed at the second target. This time. He didn't wait for a salvo with the guys. Instead, he steadily used the crosshair to lasso seventy or eighty meters away. The head that's getting bigger and bigger.

"Ping-pong." The superior performance of the middle formal was finally thoroughly brought into play by him. Bullets rushed out of the chamber with a shrill whistling. Directly smashed the head of the black-clothed agent on the other side.

"Ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong......." Zhao Tianlong led the cavalry to another platoon of guns. Brought down five horse thieves again. Tear a bloody hole in the middle of the opposing enemy team. And his own side was in the middle of two rounds. But only one person was hit by the enemy. Pour it out among the grass. Life and death are unknown.

It's too late to organize a third salvo . The distance between us and the enemy is less than forty meters." Draw the knife." Zhao Tianlong hung his rifle behind the saddle. Take advantage of the situation and draw the snow swordsman. Zhang Songling and the guerrillas behind him also threw up their guns and raised their knives. Converge into a dense array of triangles at a gallop. Ran head-on into the enemy.

"Boom." Giant hammer strikes eggs. Blood splattered. Man on his back and on his horse.

Note 1: Xinjing. i.e. Changchun. The puppet state of Manchukuo made this place the 'national capital' and renamed Xinjing.

Note 2: The original design of the Chinese official was a riding rifle. The barrel is short. Easy to shoot on horseback.
