Chapter 16: The Harsh Reality and the Beauty of Ideals
At dawn, the wind was bitterly cold.
The spies who were monitoring the campus had long since withdrawn, and the patrolling gendarmes had each sought refuge from the cold and chatted with the leeward territory, and the whole city was almost as if it were dead, except for the night incense man pushing the stinky dung cart or the breakfast vendor carrying his burden, the stove at one end flashing with a faint fire, and the iron pot at the other end steaming white.
Then, in unison, they stopped.
In the campus next to them, the doors were closed, but countless students, both men and women, had tumbled out of the campus, and no one made even the slightest sound except for the sound of climbing over the walls and running with footsteps.
Dense crowds of students poured out of the campus like a tidal wave, thinking about the distance of the street.
The night incense workers and vendors stood on the spot, and it was not until the large number of students had gone away that they remembered that the streets were still empty, and if they had not had a few more pieces of paper with propaganda slogans in their hands, they would have thought that they had just been dazzled.
Di Lingling......
The shrill ringing of the telephone echoed in the huge room, but after a while, Luo Yang, the captain of the gendarmerie, was woken up, and when he opened his eyes to see that the sky outside the window was only twilight, an evil fire was born in his stomach, and he said that if any bastard woke up so early without something important, he would have to whip him hard.
It was Zhu Junlin's voice on the phone, who was extremely anxious.
"What?"
After listening to Zhu Junlin's words, Luo Yang's remaining sleepiness and wake-up gas suddenly disappeared, and he even broke out in a cold sweat in the cold weather, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went straight to the main street in the city.
On the streets, in the cold wind.
Countless students stood in a long line, and there were many workers from all walks of life who kept joining the procession, all dressed in different clothes, standing quietly and solemnly, in front of the procession, someone pulled a long banner, on both sides of the street, a large number of military police armed with sticks and shields, as if facing a great enemy,
What is written on the banner, Luo Yang can be clear even if he doesn't have to read it, it is nothing more than abandoning disputes, unifying with the outside world, united front, and jointly resisting Japan.
"A bunch of idiots who have been sold and help others count their money!"
Looking at the solemn and sad looks on the faces of these students and workers, as if they were proud to be a member of this team, Luo Yang couldn't help but secretly scold, saying that he wanted to abandon disputes and unite with the outside world, it was clear that those people wanted to interrupt the pace of the central government's crackdown on bandits in this way and resolve their current predicament.
"Team Luo, we're here!"
Seeing Luoyang from afar, Zhu Junlin led several gendarmes to trot over to greet him.
"Nima's!"
As soon as he saw Zhu Junlin, Luo Yang was angry, shook his hand and slapped him and scolded: "Didn't you let you keep an eye on the campus, don't let these students run to the street to make trouble?" Now what's going on? You deliberately make trouble for Lao Tzu, right? ”
"These students came out of the wall before dawn, and by the time we found out, it was too late......"
Zhu Junlin covered his hot cheeks and said, "This is definitely deliberately arranged by those underground parties, these bastards are really too cunning......"
Luo Yang resisted the urge to slap Zhu Junlin to death, and snorted: "Then where are Yang Quanlin, Wei Guanglong, and Tu Jinjun?" Crucilate them for me, if these students obediently return to school, forget it, otherwise, Lao Tzu wants these guys to die without a whole body......"
"Don't worry, a few people surnamed Yang surnamed Wei are negotiating with our people in the head, I have already greeted the brothers of the military commander, they can't run!"
Zhu Junlin gritted his teeth.
Luo Yang snorted, and was finally a little satisfied with Zhu Junlin's arrangement.
Yang Kuan also stood in the team, wearing the clothes that ordinary people often wear, and the long shirts and tunics of the students around him were out of place, he didn't want to come, but after all, he couldn't help but come.
His eyes looked at Yang Quanlin, who was standing at the front of the team, arguing with the leader of the military police, and at the same time, he also saw those men wearing long shirts and lowering the brim of their hats on the side of the street.
He believed that it was impossible for Yang Quanlin and the others not to see these spies, but several people were unmoved, and the negotiation process was extremely intense, and finally ended with a loud roar from the military police.
Yang Quanlin and the others retreated to the front of the team, then raised their arms high and shouted: "Abandon disputes and fight against Japan together!" ”
The whole team of students and workers yelled in unison!
Yang Quanlin and others shouted while moving forward, and the team also followed the chanting, and the blocking gendarmes crowded together, after a simple push, those military police fiercely waved the sticks in their hands, and smashed them at the students!
"How do you beat people......
The people at the back of the line screamed, but soon, a large number of military, police, and gendarmes rushed out of the alleys on both sides of the street, and they greeted them with knives, guns, and clubs!
The students and workers in the team struggled to resist, but where were the opponents of the wolf-like military police, but in a few moments, they were beaten and screamed, and the chaotic scene was like hell coming......
Yang An dodged, knocked a military policeman who smashed a girl with a stick into the air, escorted the girl and fled into the alley on the side, and in the corner of his eye, he saw those spies and countless gendarmes rushing towards Yang Quanlin and others, and threw them to the ground.
"Protect Mr. Yang's ......"
Seeing that Yang Quanlin, Wei Guanglong and others were arrested, many students and workers rushed forward with screams, biting and scuffling like beasts, I don't know how many people were smashed by the sticks in the hands of those military police and gendarmes, and their faces were full of blood, but finally, with the advantage of the large number of people, they snatched a few people out of the crowd, let them flee quickly, and then blocked the military police and gendarmes themselves.
"Let me go back, I want to fight side by side with everyone......"
The girl who was sent into the alley by Yang Kuan screamed violently, scratching, beating and biting, wanting to rush back.
"You calm down, it's useless to go back now except to be beaten!"
Yang Kuan shouted: "The parade has already happened, there has been such a big movement, and the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to go back and find a beating......
The girl looked at the hellish street from afar, at the students and workers who were smashed to the ground and screaming, and at the classmates whose faces were covered in blood and begging and crying, her face began to turn pale, and she was suddenly afraid.
This is not what she imagined to save the country, this scene is as tragic as a slaughterhouse.
She once heard Yang Quanlin and others say that the revolution must have someone to shed blood and sacrifice, when she listened, she felt that it was so poignant and tragic, but now, all she had left in her heart was fear, and she was so scared that she grabbed the corner of Yang Kuan's clothes tightly and didn't dare to let go, trembling violently.
"Don't stay here, run!" Yang Kuandao.
The girl turned around and ran, and found that Yang Kuan was not chasing, so she hurriedly turned around and asked, "What about you?" ”
"I'll go over there and have a look, leave me alone, run ......"
Yang Kuandao, and then threw himself into an alley, in that direction, the direction in which Yang Quanlin and the others, who had just been desperately rescued by those workers and students, escaped, and the direction in which those spies were chasing.
The girl was stunned to look at Yang Kuan's wind-swept figure, watching him run like a cheetah in those alleys, she couldn't imagine that this shy and quiet teenager who was usually shy in school actually had such violent energy in his slightly emaciated body.
"Don't run, stop ...... for Lao Tzu"
The roars of the military, police, and gendarmes were heard from the direction of the street, and many students and workers fled in panic, some of them had faces covered in blood, and the girls screamed in fright, and they turned around and fled without thinking much about it.
Yang Quanlin, Wei Guanglong and others fled frantically in the alleys, and behind them, several spies chased after them.
A few people were already panting and sweating, and those spies were like maggots on tarsal bones, with their physical strength, where were the opponents of these well-trained spies?
"Run, keep running, I'll see if you can fly to the sky!"
Several agents chattered and laughed, and even put the short guns that had been drawn back into their arms, they wanted to catch them alive, so they didn't plan to shoot at all, and they didn't believe that these guys could escape from the palm of their hands.
"I can't run, you run!" Wei Guanglong screamed.
"I can't run anymore!"
Tu Jinjun said: "Brother Quanlin, you run, we will cover you!" ”
"If you want to run away and run away, you want to die together!"
Yang Quanlin screamed, struggling to set up the two of them and staggered forward, ignoring that the spies behind him were already chasing closer and closer!
"Don't say this kind of thing, you are the branch secretary, you are here, our branch here is here, anyone can die, but you can't die......"
Wei Guanglong Tu Jinjun screamed, suddenly broke free from Yang Quanlin's support, pushed it forward fiercely, and then turned around and pounced on the chasing spies!
"Da Long, Ah Jun ......"
Yang Quanlin screamed with tears in his eyes and stomped his feet in a hurry.
"Run......"
Wei Guanglong Tu Jinjun roared violently, bared his teeth and rushed towards those spies, mustered all his courage, and swore to fight to the death to block them and cover Yang Quanlin's retreat.
Determination and courage, commendable.
But their strength could not support their determination at all, and they fell down with a wail of beating in a few blows, and they could only hold on to the legs of the two spies to buy some time for Yang Quanlin's escape.
"We watch them, you go after ......"
Several spies who were holding their legs couldn't break free for a while, and when they saw that Yang Quanlin's figure in the distance was about to disappear, they could only give orders to the remaining two spies.
The two spies chased after them.
In a small courtyard, Yang Kuan witnessed all this.
Wei Guanglong and Tu Jinjun, he also knew each other, watching those spies punch and kick the two, the muffled sound of the fists and feet hitting the body, it hurt to hear, but the two of them still held the legs of several spies, he didn't want to get involved in all this, he felt a tingling in his heart, and suddenly opened the courtyard door, and was about to go out to save people!
