Chapter 21: Departure.
"Mr. Shao, please rest assured, you are a friend of the Imperial Army, and our Imperial Japanese Army still takes good care of our friends. Today we have completed our mission, so we will not linger here. I will restrain my men, please rest assured, old man! ”
After listening to the translator's translation, Shao Defang nodded slightly to express his gratitude. Turned to look at Nie Yunshan beside him.
"I don't know what to call this person, forgive the old man for being clumsy, I have never seen this chief in the Yuncheng area before."
"You are Mr. Shao Defang, contemptible Nie Yunshan."
"Nie Yunshan?"
looked at the puppet army officer with an ugly face on the other side. Shao Defang searched for this unfamiliar name in his memory.
At this moment, Kuramoto saw the two of them talking, so he walked over with the interpreter.
"Mr. Shao, please let me introduce you to the new Xia County Garrison Captain of the Imperial Association Army here, Your Excellency Nie Yunshan. In the future, the security task here will also test the sincere cooperation of the two. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the new captain of the garrison, disrespectful and disrespectful."
Nodding slightly, Shao Defang immediately understood everything in his heart.
It seems that the original garrison captain Liu Hanliang has been promoted, and the Japanese have sent a new person over, and it seems that this killing was prepared for this person. One is to test the loyalty of the other party, and the other is to establish the prestige of the new garrison captain among the local squires and villagers.
The Japanese executed here, nine out of ten was Liu Hanliang's idea, and this bastard didn't forget to disgust himself by the way before leaving.
These hungry wolves!
Pretending to be nothing, Shao Defang chatted with the other party for a few more words. I got to know each other for a while.
……
An hour later, Cangben took the wine sent by Shao Defang and left Wenxiao Village satisfied, and the captain of the garrison, Nie Yunshan, also left with the team with a black face, and his station had been decided, which was Xia County not far away.
Seeing the Japanese puppet army leaving, Shao Defang asked the housekeeper to take some money from the house, and took a few people to collect the bodies of the twenty villagers and bury them one by one.
……
A few days later, at night, the backyard wing of Shao Mansion.
A lamp was like a bean, and the yellow flame illuminated the whole room, but it was difficult to dispel the gloom on everyone's faces. Nine soldiers in civilian clothes sat around and had a heated discussion.
"Da Zhuzi, I know that you feel uncomfortable, the little devil and the second dog have killed so many people, and I am also uncomfortable in my heart. Now that the old immortal is almost healed, we still have to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and return to the rear to find the old troops to kill the devils and avenge them. ”
Lao Yuan put down the tea bowl in his hand and persuaded again.
"What's the use of going back! Hundreds of thousands of brothers were buried by those dog-day officials. Besides, our army commanders and division commanders have all been martyred, what's the point of going back. I don't want to be cannon fodder for those grandsons in the south. I have a gun in my hand, I want to kill the devil and traitor to avenge the villagers!
Sandou, would you like to go with me to kill the devil and traitor and avenge the villagers!? ”
Hearing this, Mi Sandou, who had not spoken, sighed and took a deep puff of dry smoke.
"You guys, don't fight, if you want me to say, in this situation, we can't afford to make big waves. Just a few of us, looking for trouble with the Japanese puppet army, that is looking for death! The hundreds of thousands of brothers in Nakajo Mountain are a lesson from the past. I think this old man Shao is good to us, and he has a good citizen certificate for us, I think we might as well stay here and live a stable life for a few years. ”
"You fart! You're still a five-foot-tall man! How can you say such nonsense! ”
Hearing Mi Sandou's frustrated words, Da Zhu suddenly became anxious, stood up with a bang, and almost didn't overturn the table on the kang.
"I said Sandou! Are you kid stupid by the Japanese? How! Willing to be a submissive citizen of the devil! You white-eyed wolf! Have you forgotten how the brothers of the Twelfth Division died! ”
Speaking of which, the big pillar's voice became louder and louder, and his fingers directly knew the other party's nose!
Seeing that everyone around him looked at him stunned, Mi Sandou knocked his pipe, jumped off the kang with a hula, and said with his head down.
"I know that you don't look down on me now, I joined the army at the age of eighteen, and I have fought no less battles in the past few years! But are the Japanese so easy to run away? I've killed devils and traitors! Now I'm tired, I'm really tired. I just want to live a few days in peace! ”
Speaking of which, Mi Sandou didn't look back, opened the door curtain and walked out of the house.
"You! Cartilage...... Bah! ”
……
Shao Mansion, study.
Zhao Shixun sat on an elegant mahogany chair and drank the good dragon well given by the maid. I took a copy of the book from the bookshelf and looked at it carefully.
Since leaving the Northeast, Zhao Shixun has not studied so leisurely for many years, and he has unconsciously become obsessed.
After a while, until the tea in the cup was drunk, Zhao Shixun found Master Shao who was sitting opposite him at some point.
"I'm sorry, Zhao is rude."
"Huh...... It doesn't matter, it can be seen that Mr. Zhao is also from a scholarly family. If you like it, go ahead and see it. ”
Gently putting down the book, Zhao Shixun smiled slightly. Glancing at the maid outside.
"Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry too much, the subordinates have already been taken away by me."
Nodding subconsciously, Zhao Shixun bowed slightly, lowered his voice and asked:
"Old Man Shao, I don't know what Zhao asked you about a few days ago, how did Master Shao inquire."
"Huh...... Mr. Zhao asked about the matter, and Shao had already inquired clearly. ”
Standing up slowly, Shao Defang paced in the study while talking eloquently.
"There are three main forces of the Japanese in our country.
The first unit is the regular army of the Japanese, there was originally a brigade of Japanese in Xia County, responsible for the security of several surrounding counties, and now the Japanese army has been transferred away to encircle and suppress the national army, so the only force near here is a devil squadron stationed in Xia County, and the squadron leader is Kuramoto who came to kill people today.
The second force is the 33rd Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army. Their main station is Yuncheng, and there has always been a battalion of troops stationed in Xia County, that is, the Xia County Garrison. They mainly cooperate with the Japanese to maintain law and order. It turned out that the captain of the garrison was Liu Hanliang, the eldest son of the Liu family in our village, and now he has been replaced by Nie Yunshan, who has newly surrendered to Japan.
The third group is the plainclothes team in the region. They are small in number and are mainly active in villages near Xia County. The village is guarded by my guards, so there are no plainclothes squads here. ”
"Then what about Nie Yunshan's recent activities that I asked you to inquire about?"
Turning around and taking a deep look at Zhao Shixun, Shao Defang slowly walked to the tea table and picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table. I took a sip.
"Mr. Zhao, the reason why I have described the Japanese forces here in such detail is that I hope you can think about it carefully."
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun slowly stood up.
"Old Man Shao's kindness, Zhao Mou understood it. But Nie Yunshan, a traitor, has committed countless tragic deaths to my country's soldiers by apostaty on the battlefield, and now he is killing my compatriots. Such a great evil person will not be removed! Zhao swears not to be a man! ”
"Good ......!"
The strong man has such a bold statement, and Shao should help him. But there is a way that the city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond. Shao must think about my people and the township party. ”
Old Man Shao's worries, Zhao deeply understood. Please also call a spade a spade. ”
"Good! Since the strong man is so open-minded, Shao Mou will not hide it.
This time, Shao has only one request, that is, once you act, you must leave Wenxiao Village regardless of success or failure. If something happens, you must not return to Wenxiao Village to seek refuge. If you can guarantee this, Shao should help with all his might! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Shixun immediately nodded in agreement.
"Old man Shao, don't worry, even if you don't say it, we also know the truth that once we act, we must leave Wenxiao Village. You can rest assured that no matter what danger we encounter in the future, we will never affect the villagers of Wenxiao Village. ”
At this point, Shao Defang nodded with satisfaction, and took out a piece of paper full of words and a map from his body.
"Mr. Zhao, the location written on this is the weapons, ammunition and rations I prepared for you, and where will the weapons you bring will be stored."
Handing the piece of paper to Zhao Shixun, Shao Defang unfolded a map on the tea table.
Pointing to a road from Xia County to Yuncheng, he lowered his voice and said:
"I have already learned through my relationship that at noon two days later, Nie Yunshan will take dozens of puppet soldiers to Yuncheng to attend a meeting of the Japanese. If you have the heart, this is the best place to do it. ”
"As for your whereabouts afterwards, I have asked the steward to prepare ten horses and some dry rations for you in the courtyard. The rest is up to you, and that's all the old man can do for you. ”
Satisfied put away the map and pieces of paper. Zhao Shixun stood up and solemnly hugged his fists at Shao Defang.
"Thank you Mr. Shao for your help, Zhao and his brothers are grateful! We'll leave before dawn. ”
"Take care, strong men!"
……
After saying goodbye to Old Man Shao, Zhao Shixun walked out of the study and was about to return to the wing where his brothers lived.
"Benefactor stays."
A gentle voice came, and Shao Mengru, the eldest lady of the Shao family, who was dressed in a light green jacket skirt, carried a lantern and slowly walked out of the darkness.
"It turned out to be the eldest lady, haven't you rested so late?"
"I can't sleep...... benefactor, I heard from my father that you are going to do something big?"
"Well, my brother's injuries are almost healed, and we plan to do something, and then leave here and go south to the Yellow River."
"Oh......, will we ever have a chance to meet in the future?"
Under the dim light, Shao Mengru suddenly lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito.
Looking at the pitiful beauty in front of him, Zhao Shixun sighed slightly.
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I think I will ......."
……
Watching Shao Mengru's tall back disappear into the depths of the corridor, Zhao Shixun suddenly felt empty in his heart. During this time, this woman always came to see herself for various reasons. Although she didn't say it, Zhao Shixun could still see some clues in her eyes.
Zhao Shixun admitted in his heart that Shao Mengru was a woman who made his heart move, but Zhao Shixun also understood that it was difficult for him and her to have any .......
