Chapter 21: News of the Defeat

He Jianye withstood the bloody mountain wind, and slowly entered the village full of dead people with two soldiers, and it took half an hour to pass all the way, except for the dead people, there were no living people, no fireworks, and no wild dogs in the whole village......

"Commander, come and take a look here!" A soldier ran over and muttered to He Jianye,

He Jianye came to the door of the only blue brick house in the village. The lonely blue brick house stood quietly in the mist, and He Jianye asked at the door A strong bloody breath, the mountain wind swept through the windows full of holes and made a whimpering sound, as if crying about everything that happened here.......

He Jianye frowned and walked into the gate, his eyes were full of corpses, but this time it was not the corpses of soldiers, dozens of corpses of villagers fell in the courtyard in a mess, watching the screening of the villagers before they died, as if there were traces of resistance, the wooden sticks on their hands and the bayonet wounds on their bodies were so conspicuous.......

"Huh? How come there is no corpse of a woman? All men, children and the elderly? He Jianye felt a little wrong,

"Captain, there are still in the house, take a look!" The soldier was beside him with tears in his eyes,

He Jianye carefully walked through the courtyard, in the hall in the middle of the house, the stools, the table, the bed next to it, and the ground were covered with ** female corpses, and the lower bodies were in a mess, the older ones were in their 60s, there were girls in their 10s, and even pregnant women.......

"These thunderstruck!" He Jianye clenched his teeth and cursed hatefully,

"Tell all the brethren to come over and take a good look at what kind of Japanese brute we are facing." He Jianye said,

He Jianye turned around and walked out of the compound, came to the path, and looked at the dark night sky....... Thinking!

Half an hour later, all 90 brothers came.

"Find a clean room, 10 people to find out if there is anything to eat here, get some hot food; Others, clean up the bodies; There's no way to make them like the earth, let's burn them all! lest the wild dogs spoil these spirits! He Jianye said,

Half an hour later, the bodies of all the soldiers killed in the war were carried into a thatched house, and He Jianye and his brothers saluted the heroic souls and cremated them collectively.

He Jianye did not ask anyone to clean up the blue brick house; "Let the fire cleanse your bodies! I'm sorry! Folks! After He Jianye finished speaking, he directly set a fire and burned down the blue brick house.

"Regiment commander, the brother who cleaned the battlefield picked up a batch of bullets, probably less than 200 rounds, all of which were made in Hanyang, and we couldn't use them; The rifles here are all damaged, what do you think of these bullets? ”

"Take it! If you have a chance, give it to your allies! He Jianye said;

In the humble house at the other end of the village, dozens of people shared a pot of rice porridge and walked towards the outside of the village.......

The tired squad shuttled through the drizzle, but fortunately they had just had a hot meal, and released scouts along the way, groping the surrounding terrain and situation......

"Commander, there is a ruined temple in the col ahead, and we didn't approach to reconnoitre, but we can rest there tonight!" A scout came over to report,

"Okay, take a few brothers to scout the surrounding area, don't go into the broken temple first, I'll take the brothers to have a look. Walk! He Jianye ordered,

I heard that there was a ruined temple in front of me where they could rest, and the soldiers were in good spirits, and after walking for most of the day, they could finally rest......

In the ruined temple, more than 30 soldiers were lying or curled up on the ground covered with reeds and fell asleep, their uniforms could no longer see the original color, and the repeated fierce battles were covered with mud stained by the mixture of blood and water, and they did not light a fire for fear that the Japanese would find them; Letting the cold wind pour into the temple along the leaky window, the little Sichuan dog leftover wrapped himself in his thin clothes and sat up from the reed stalks, snorted with hot air in his mouth, warmed his hands, listened to the whining sound of the mountain wind outside through the leaky windows, felt out the last half of the multigrain cake in his pocket, held back the hunger in his stomach, and returned to lie down on the reed stalks.

"I don't know when I can escape from this hellish battlefield, or save a little, the brothers who went out to find food today didn't come back, and they were probably caught by the devil." Xiao Sichuan thought about it and fell asleep in a daze,

"Get up, give it all to the labor!" He Jianye shouted,

Xiao Sichuan opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he had been surrounded by a group of **, and the muzzles of more than a dozen black holes around him were pointed at them.......

"Let me introduce myself first, I am He Jianye, the commander of the 16th Regiment of the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and tell me your unit number." He Jianye said,

"Report to the chief, I'm from the 61st Division"

"Report to the sir, I'm from the 53rd Division"

"Report to the chief, I'm from the 134th Division"

"Report to the chief, I'm from the 106th Division"

.......

"What a rout! There are more than 30 fucking routs, and there are 7 division-level numbers, not to mention the regimental-level ......." He Jianye, who had a big head, couldn't remember so much, and ordered directly,

"Listen to everything, and those who want to return to the rear alive will listen to me. Stand neatly on the right, and those who don't want to follow me stand on the left. As soon as He Jianye's words landed, all the people were in an uproar and stood on the right side very actively.

"Very good, then now you can talk about what is going on with you," He Jianye stood in the middle and said,

"Sir, can you get us something to eat first! The brothers didn't eat for a day! One of the routs said five big and three thick,

"Yes, you can. Li Anping, bring the rice we brought from the village and cook pot porridge! I had a piece of pork in my backpack and cooked it together. Cook more, and prepare some for the brethren! "He Jianye instructed a soldier of the guard company,

"Yes, Captain." Li Anping went out with two brothers,

"Sir, our brethren here have all met on the way to flee these two days; Yesterday there were more than fifty, and today a few brothers went out to look for food, but did not come back; A few wounded soldiers couldn't hold it out, and the ball was dead! We all worked together to bury it. There are only thirty or so left. Rest assured, sir, none of us are deserters, we are all scattered on the battlefield and we can't find troops! A platoon commander of the 53rd Division replied,

"Well, don't worry, I'm not here to catch deserters; I was ordered by the war zone to gather the rout; You can rest assured that you can say anything. He Jianye said,

"Sir, I am from the 134th Division, our division was crippled in Fuzaobang, and later when we retreated to Dachang, we were scattered by the Japanese pursuing troops, and I came here by hiding in Tibet." Xiao Sichuan said,

"Sir, are you really here to save us?" Xiao Sichuan asked,

"Well, then what do you think I'm doing here from the south bank of Suzhou Creek?" He Jianye said angrily,

"When I came over, I saw a lot of rout soldiers being captured by devils, do you have a way to save them?" Xiao Sichuan gambling airway,

"Hehe, tell me, what's the situation?" He Jianye asked,

"On the south bank of Fumohama, there were about 500 defeated soldiers who were captured by the little devils, and yesterday I saw that they were near the position of the original 160th Division, and I watched from a distance as they were beaten and shot. I didn't dare to make a noise and ran away. "Little Sichuan drooped his head,

"Okay, let's finish eating, let's go check it out in the middle of the night!" He Jianye made a decision.
