Because these half-tracks are open-top structures, the scorching sun can reach the occupants without reservation, and by noon, the interior is almost as hot as an egg can be baked, and everyone is sweating profusely as if they have been fished out of a steamer.

Second Lieutenant Li Bo's face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans at this time, and at this time he only felt as if his throat was stained with sand, and it was difficult to say a word.

Picked up the kettle at his waist and unscrewed the lid to take a drink, but it was already empty. Li Bo touched a private on the side with his elbow, "Fat boy, do you still have water?" ”

The fat boy, who looked a little fat, picked up his kettle and shook it vigorously, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, my water has long been drunk." ”

Li Bo looked around a little annoyed and asked, "Which of you still has water?" ”

The surrounding soldiers shook their heads one after another: "Sir, who still has water in this kind of ghost weather, if there is, it will be drunk long ago!" ”

"What the hell!" Li Bo angrily put the kettle in the carriage casually, looking at the scorching sun and thinking about where to get some water, otherwise it would be easy for people to suffer from heat stroke if they went on like this.

When the car drove to an intersection, the front of the car suddenly made a "pop" sound and began to emit bursts of white smoke, the whole car began to tremble, and the driver hurriedly pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.

"What's going on...... Is the car broken? ”

"Feng Tiancai, what the hell are you doing?"

The car stopped unexpectedly, and the people in the car were caught off guard and staggered a little, and the fat boy's head hit a big bag on the handrail next to him.

The driver who drove the car did not speak. Instead, he jumped out of the car and ran to the front of the car and lifted the car cover, and suddenly a burst of fog rose from the front of the car, seeing such a situation, Feng Tiancai couldn't help but scold: "Bah...... ****, why are you so unlucky." It's boiling! ”

As soon as he heard the car boiling, Li Bo, who had just gotten out of the car, couldn't help frowning: "It's boiling, it's a bit troublesome now." ”

While the two were talking, two Sdkfz250 armored transport vehicles also followed, and after the car stopped, more than a dozen soldiers came down in an uproar, and two sergeants ran first.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Li Bo said helplessly: "Don't mention it." It's boiling...... Which of you still has water? ”

"It's a bit of a hassle, and we've run out of water."

One of the sergeants looked around. It was still a wilderness, and his brows furrowed: "Our water has run out, and there is no store in front of the village here, where can I get water?" ”

Li Bo thought about it, got back into the car, and took out the map. He looked at it for a moment, then pointed to the map and beckoned to the two sergeants. "Come here, all of you."

After the two of them came over, Li Bo pointed to the map and said: "Look, from the map, there is a village three miles away from here, you all stay here, I will take a transport truck and a brother to get some water and come back, you first get the car to a cool place to rest." ”

A sergeant said, "Sir, you are always opening the way ahead these days, and you must be tired, so I'll take someone there!" ”

Li Bo glared. "Less nonsense, carry out the order!"

The two sergeants looked at each other helplessly. I had to answer: "Yes!" ”

Li Bo carried the Suomi submachine gun and shouted at the fat boy who was lying in a shady place with no image: "Fat boy, you get in the car and follow me on the walkie-talkie!" ”

After the fat boy came, Li Bo took him to the back of a Sdkfz250 armored transport vehicle, and gave two instructions to the driver, and then the car began to start again, and began to drive forward with sudden green smoke.

Half an hour later, the armored transport vehicle stopped in front of a village, looking at the stream in front of the village that was shining in the sun, all eyes lit up, this usually inconspicuous stream was like an unprecedented cuteness in the eyes of these soldiers at the moment, and many people licked their chapped lips with excitement on their faces.

"Creek...... We've got water! The fat boy was the first to hold back, and before the armored transporter could stop, he opened the door and tried to jump in, but he was pulled by someone before he could jump.

"...... Who the hell dares to ......" Before the fat boy was angry, he saw Li Bo's unhappy face, and he immediately changed his face when he was about to get angry, "It turned out to be the chief, don't pull me, I'm thirsty, go get some water first......"

"Shut up!" Li Bo drank impatiently, his expression became very solemn, and he whispered to the soldiers in the car: "There is something wrong here, the driver and the two machine gunners stay, and everyone else gets out of the car."

As soon as Li Bo said this, all the soldiers in the car got out of the car, everyone began to disperse, and the bullets began to load, and they felt towards the village in a battle formation.

Seeing that the fat boy with the walkie-talkie on his back was still a little confused, and he didn't know whether to stay in the car or move forward with those soldiers, Li Bo wanted to kick this guy's ass hard, but after thinking of this guy's collar and red collar badge, which represented a three-dimensional star of the private, he endured it again, and it was not worth losing his temper with a guy who had been in the army for less than half a year.

He took a deep breath and said to him patiently: "Fat boy, you remember, no matter what happens later, you just need to follow me, once the fight starts, you can't run around, otherwise don't blame me if you die." ”

"Understood!" The fat boy's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, he was originally just a son from a wealthy family, just because he heard the name of Su Jin and the 202nd Army, he secretly ran to Nanchang to join the 202nd Division, which had not been expanded at that time, and was soaked down by the infantry commanders because he was too fat at the end of the recruit training and distribution. Originally, people like him who were picked up were either sent to logistics or cooking classes to mess around, or sent home, but after the Battle of Jiujiang, the armored regiment needed to replenish personnel, and the commander of the armored regiment who came to select people heard that this guy had graduated from high school, so he was selected into the armored regiment as a communications soldier.

And this guy's subsequent performance is also a little surprising, although the combat skills are not very good, but in electronic communication is a good hand, those radio stations and communication walkie-talkies that seem obscure to ordinary people have been cleared by him in less than two months, with this skill, he has only established a firm foothold in the armored reconnaissance battalion known as the sharp knife in the elite.

Seeing that this fat boy still looked ignorant, Li Bo had to lower his voice and said to the fat boy: "Have you seen it, it stands to reason that there are dozens of families in this village, and there should be one or two hundred people, but we have come to the entrance of the village but there is no dog barking, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"yes!" After Li Bo's little push, the fat boy suddenly realized, and then became a little nervous. Quickly took off the submachine gun from his shoulder and held it in his hand.

Seeing the fat boy's backward appearance, Li Bo patted him on the shoulder funny, "Okay, don't be nervous, you just remember to follow me and you'll be fine, let's go!" ”

The two of them soon followed the soldiers in front, and a group of seven or eight people came to the entrance of the village, and until this time the whole village was so silent that not even a single bark of dogs had been heard, and by this time even the stupidest people knew that something was wrong.

......A series of gunshots rang out, Li Bo glanced at everyone, and soon six soldiers divided into two groups and walked around from both sides, while Li Bo took the fat boy and another soldier to touch the entrance of the village.

The village was not big, and after five or six minutes everyone met in a grass field in the middle of the village, but everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in the grass field.

I saw that the huge grass field was full of the corpses of the villagers, and the young men in these corpses were bound with their hands, and most of the wounds on their bodies were knife wounds, which could be seen to have been killed with bayonets.

And many of the women were unclothed, and some of them died in such a miserable condition that it was evident that they had been killed after being defiled by others, and there were many children around these women, who were also brutally killed with bayonets, and the entire grass field had been stained black with blood.

Li Bo walked up to a corpse, the body of a naked woman lying on the ground, the expression on her face was extremely painful, a pair of desperate eyes looked at the sky, as if to complain about the injustice of the world, her lower abdomen was cut open by a bayonet, a small fetus was thrown aside, and it could be seen that the killers were amusing each other in a cruel way.

Seeing this tragic situation, everyone, including Li Bo, was speechless for a while. For a long time, the fat boy knelt on the ground weakly and muttered in a hoarse voice, "Why...... Why is this happening? Who did this? Fat Boy said that the tears had flowed out at some point.

Li Bo slowly took two steps forward, bent down and searched for a few bullet casings from the ground and looked carefully, his expression that was always calm had become as if he had come out of an ice cellar, and said slowly: "This is the bullet casing of the southern pistol and the Type 38 rifle, from the point of view of the method of killing, it is the Japanese who did it, and only those brutes who exterminate humanity can do such a thing." ”

The fat boy wiped away his tears and cried and asked, "Sir, what should we do?" ”

Li Bo looked at the corpse again, and then looked around at the footprints on the ground before he said coldly: "Judging from the corpses, the time of their death has not been more than an hour, and the brothers immediately go back and fill the car's water tank and all the water bottles and buckets, and then immediately catch up!" ”

"Yes!"

With Li Bo's order, the soldiers ran towards the entrance of the village as fast as they could, and at this moment everyone felt a burning anger surging from their hearts, almost burning everyone to ashes...... (To be continued.) )
