Chapter 16: Shao Mengru
Twenty-five miles east of Zhangjiayu Village, the Japanese army set up a checkpoint on the only road into the mountain in the direction of Zhangjiayu.
In the direction of the mountain, ten puppet soldiers escorted three carts and slowly walked over.
Zhao Shixun sat in the car, tugging at the tight collar from time to time, squinting at the devil sentry post dozens of meters away.
"The puppet army is right, this is only a detachment of thirteen devils to defend, and there is a machine gun in the sandbag bunkers on both sides of the road.
Old immortal, have you arranged all those puppet armies? ”
The old immortal in the puppet army uniform sitting on the other side of the cart let out a long puff of smoke and knocked his pipe on the cart.
"These two dogs have good cigarettes. Don't worry, battalion commander, I blindfolded these old boys and tied them to a tree on the side of the mountain, and scared them that they had tied a grenade to someone's feet, and whoever moved would go up to the west together.
Hehe, these grandsons are so desperate for their lives, they will never dare to run around in a short time. ”
"Hehe, it's really yours, old and immortal. I didn't expect you to have this hand. ”
Zhao Shixun smiled and suddenly blew a whistle.
Hearing the whistle, the other nine "puppet soldiers" quietly clenched their weapons, and the muscles of their whole bodies tensed. A tense aura of imminent battle quickly spread.
Squeaky ......squeak, as the cart approached the checkpoint, a devil soldier with a plaster flag on his rifle walked to the middle of the road. Crooked machine guns on both sides of the road were also aimed at the convoy.
"Stop! What does it do? ”
As soon as the cart stopped under Zhao Shixun's control, the old immortal hurriedly jumped out of the car and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Taijun! We went into the mountains to collect grain, and the grain that had just been harvested was ready to be transported to Zhangjiayu Village. ”
The old immortal lowered his head and used his hands and feet together with a stroke of strokes.
"Oh? Pass out! ”
The devil army Cao glanced at the cart behind the old immortal, and shouted expressionlessly.
Hearing this, the old immortal hurriedly took out a piece of paper full of Japanese from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
took the pass with one hand and glanced at it, but the devil army Cao was still not very reassured. Holding the 38 big cover rifle with the bayonet on it, he bypassed the old immortal, walked to the first cart, and glanced at Zhao Shixun and them. Suddenly, he picked up his bayonet and plunged into a bag of grain.
The incident happened suddenly, seeing that Da Zhuzi and Lao Yuan were about to pick up the gun subconsciously, Zhao Shixun hurriedly coughed heavily, and then blinked and signaled the two not to be impulsive!
After piercing several bags of grain in a row and confirming that there were no Tibetans, the Devil Army Cao handed the pass to the old immortal, turned around and motioned to his subordinates to remove the barricades.
After putting away the pass, the old immortal wiped the cold sweat on his head and jumped into the car.
Syllable...... Drive! Squeak squeak......
With the sound of a whip, the three carts started again and slowly passed through the Japanese checkpoint.
When the checkpoint completely disappeared from view, Zhao Shixun took a long breath, ripped open the discipline buckle of the puppet army uniform, and leaked the national army uniform inside.
"Old immortal, speed up!"
Squeak, squeak, three carts full of grain, quickly disappeared on the mountain path.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in a large courtyard in the south of Zhangjiayu Village, under the scorching sun, more than a dozen stout men with rifles and knives on their backs were loading the packages in the warehouse onto eight carts outside the courtyard.
A bookkeeper in an old cyan robe with pale temples stood in the courtyard, counting the goods one by one.
Squeak......
The double-opened door of the main room in the courtyard opened from the inside, and a handsome maid wearing a short pink cheongsam and blue pants walked out first.
"Miss, be careful, this threshold is a bit high."
In the voice of the maid's silver bell, a rich lady wearing a blue plum blossom jacket skirt walked out.
The woman's outfit is simple and elegant, not even as beautiful as a maid, but it is still difficult to hide her hibiscus face.
With her plump and tall figure, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the yard.
"Miss, why don't you stay in the house and rest, all the goods have been experienced, and I can handle the rest of the things, old man."
When the bookkeeper in the yard saw the woman going out, he immediately trotted over and spoke earnestly.
"Shopkeeper Chen, it's too stuffy in the house, I'd better come out and stay for a while, anyway, the things are almost loaded. It's a long way off, I have to trouble you to run with me this time, it's really hard for you. ”
The woman saluted slightly, and her soft voice made people feel like a spring breeze.
"If there is, old man, I'm in good health, and this little distance will not be in the way. But you have to be careful, Miss, this is in chaos now. It's uneasy to look at.
If it weren't for the fact that the old man couldn't get out of bed, he couldn't say anything and let the eldest lady come to inspect the goods in person. ”
"Hehe, shopkeeper Chen doesn't have to worry, my father sent Brother Li from the house over this time, and also brought more than a dozen well-skilled nurses. We have a special pass again, so it shouldn't be a big deal. After loading the goods for a while, we don't have to rest, it's better to get on the road as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, just listen to the eldest lady."
Half an hour later.
Eight carts full of medicinal herbs and grains, together with a richly decorated carriage, slowly drove out of Zhangjiayu Village and onto the road out of the mountain.
In front of the carriage, Li Jingang, who was carrying a box cannon at his waist, rode on a horse to open the way.
More than a dozen armed guards were distributed on both sides of the carriage, guarding the carriage with the eldest lady and the maid in the middle. The bookkeeper sat in a large cart in the back.
Tick ......!
I didn't go far when a Japanese truck drove up head-on with a whistle!
Seeing the truck coming, Li Jingang hurriedly beckoned the guards and the driver to give way to the truck.
"Everyone's smart! Hurry up and make way for the Japanese! ”
Soon, horse-drawn carriages and carts were pulled down and lined up on the side of the road, giving way to the road.
On the back bucket of the truck, a devil's logistics soldier Cao held a small jar of wine and drank red face. And next to him, a traitor with oily hair and pink face was flattering and fanning him.
"Ono Tai-kun, how about I get you a first-class daughter red! Isn't it strong enough? ”
"Uh...... Yo West! Liu Sang! Yours are very good, friend of the Imperial Army! ”
"That's it! I, Liu Fugui, am loyal to the imperial army, as long as the errand ordered by the imperial army, I, Liu Fugui, have always gone to the soup and fought the fire!
Hehe, Taijun, when you get to Zhangjiayu Village in a while, I will find you a flower girl, and I will ensure that you have no shortage of wine and beauties! Hey! ”
Liu Fugui patted his chest and expressed his loyalty, and then said in the ear of the devil soldier Cao with a lewd smile.
"Yo Xi! Liu Sang! Yours is a great good! Come! Let's drink together! ”
A few minutes later, when the devil truck approached the convoy, suddenly the horn sounded again! Tick ......!
The shrill horn sounded violently, startling a half-sized mule who had never seen a car before, and rushed to the road with a howl to break free from the restraints of the driver!
I suddenly saw a mule pulling a cart and rushing onto the road, and the ghost soldier who was driving hurriedly braked suddenly!
Chirping......!
The truck slid more than four meters before it could be stopped!
The rising devil army Cao and the traitor Liu Fugui, who were drinking in the back fight, were caught off guard and were almost thrown off the car directly!
"Baga Ya Road! , a bunch of fools! ”
Wiping the wine on his face, the devil scout Cao staggered to his feet. Slap the roof of the cab of the car and scold indiscriminately.!
Hearing the scolding, a ghost soldier hurriedly came out of the cab and looked at Quartermaster Ono with an apologetic expression.
"Report to the sir, the big car in front of us suddenly rushed in front of us, and I had to brake urgently, I beg your pardon."
"Big cart?!"
Ono heard the words and looked ahead, only to find a large team of cars parked on the side of the road in some unknown weather. At this time, several Chinese were trying to pull a large truck from the front of the truck back to the side of the road.
"Baga Ya Road! You dare to ram into the vehicles of the Imperial Army, are you tired of being crooked?! ”
Hearing Ono's roar, the two devil soldiers in the car immediately took out two 38 large cover rifles from the car, and stared at the convoy murderously with their guns.
Seeing that the devil was suddenly angry, he raised his gun and aimed it at everyone, and there was a commotion in the convoy. Many people hurriedly hid behind the cart.
The little devil kills people without blinking, and everyone is afraid to avoid them.
At this moment, the traitor Liu Fugui jumped out of the car and was about to pull the tiger skin to show his majesty, when he suddenly saw Li Jingang riding a horse in front of the cart.
"Yo! Isn't this the head of the Li Jiao? Why, Li Jiaotou is not enjoying happiness in Shao Mansion, why did he take the guy to do the work of darts? ”
Seeing that it was Liu Fugui, Li Jingang frowned slightly, and hurriedly jumped off the horse.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jingang threw the other box cannon on his waist to the guards beside him, and raised his hands to indicate that he did not have a weapon.
Walking forward calmly, Li Jingang looked at Liu Fugui hugging his fists.
"It turned out to be Captain Liu, and the contemptible people are guarding the people of Shao Mansion today. These goods and people are all from Shao Mansion in Wenxiao Village. Today, our mules and horses were frightened by the horn of the truck and rammed the Japanese truck, and asked Captain Liu to explain a thing or two for us. When he returns to the mansion, Li will definitely explain the matter to Master Shao, and the Shao Mansion will be grateful at that time! ”
"Oh....... It turned out to be Shaofu's convoy, that's easy to say. ”
"Liu Sang! Do you know them? ”
Devil Army Cao saw that Liu Fugui and a leader on the other side seemed to know each other, lowered his head and asked suspiciously.
"Ono Tai-kun! You are angry! These people are all from Shaofu in Wenxiao Village, and they are all friends of the Great Japanese Imperial Army! Just now their mules and horses were frightened, which is why they rammed the trucks of the imperial army. ”
"Search and kill Nai......, what are they pulling in the car! Is there any wine? ”
After listening to Liu Fugui's explanation, Ono jumped out of the car. glanced at the sturdy man in front of him, and then at the fully loaded convoy behind him.
When Liu Fugui heard this, he hurriedly walked up to Li Jingang and asked with a shy stomach.
"Sect Leader Li, the Imperial Army asked you! What kind of goods are pulled on the car, and is there any wine! ”
Glaring at the obscene traitor in front of him, Li Jingang thought that you are a dog, relying on the devil to support you, shouting at five people and six people in front of me, and I will clean you up when I go back.
"It's all medicinal herbs and a little food, no wine!"
Holding back his anger, Li Jingang said dissatisfiedly.
