Facing the cold of the night, more than 30 people formed a column and headed west.

Sun Yumin planned how to get to Wuhan, and he had two choices in front of him: one was to take the waterway along the Yangtze River to the west, from Ma'anshan through Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, and Anqing to Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and then through Ezhou to Wuhan. This route is the most convenient but the most difficult, in the case of the city of Nanjing has just been occupied by the Japanese army, it is undoubtedly more difficult to find a powered ship to go to Wuhan than to climb to the sky. The other road is to take the land route, after crossing the Yangtze River, go to Chuzhou through Hefei, Lu'an to Macheng and then from Macheng to Wuhan, this road is almost a straight line distance. If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch the train, and that's the best thing.

But no matter which route you take, getting out of Nanjing first is the most important.

Liu Wenzhi and Shi Shi opened the way far ahead. The rest of the soldiers sandwiched the thirteen female students and Lu Man and the wounded Sun Yumin in the middle, and Li Tiedan, who was holding a Czech machine gun, was broken.

The night crow didn't know where to hide and called, and the croaking sound seemed to have a kind of heart-stopping magic, which made Chen Yun feel her scalp tingling, and the biting cold wind in the winter night drilled straight into the person's neck, which made her shiver and couldn't help but tighten her collar.

In this cold winter night, the group staggered forward, and from time to time there were women's screams and plopping falls. The night was too dark, and there were no torches, and several women had fallen into the ditch. They have no experience, thinking that the place where the white light shines is a flat ground or a road, but in fact it is the real surface of the water.

Sun Yumin saw that several girls were soaked all over their bodies, and the trembling sound of the upper and lower gums colliding and the trembling voice were clearly heard. Xin said: "This is not good, people will get frostbitten, and if you go at this speed, you will be able to leave here in the Year of the Monkey." ”

He called Huzi down and asked him to lead someone to find a place for everyone to rest, and at least let the girls who were all wet change into dry clothes.

Chen Yun is very grateful in his heart, although this man is already his own person, he is also proud of being able to put himself in the shoes of others, and know how to take care of and pity people.

Liu Wenzhi and Shi found a small village not far ahead. But strangely, not even a single dog bark could be heard in the village. They didn't rush in, and waited until Sun Yumin came over with the brigade before explaining the situation to him.

Sun Yumin also noticed that something was not normal.

Rural people don't say that every household will have a guard dog, but there will always be a dozen vicious dogs in a village, and people will be found coming from afar, and they will bark from afar.

But Sun Yumin and a group of people had already arrived at the entrance of the village, but they didn't hear a dog barking. If there are only one or two or two or three families in this small village, it is very likely that there are no Shiba Inu, but there are at least dozens of families in this nameless village in front.

Although it was late at night, the tranquility was terrifying.

Sun Yumin felt that his left and right hands were being studied, and he could feel the four hands that grabbed him trembling on his arms.

Liu Wenzhi walked in front of Sun Yumin, looked at the two women who had put their entire bodies on his arms, and asked him, "Are you going in?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded. "You take the stone with you. Stay safe. ”

Liu Wenzhi responded softly: "Yes." ”

The two men took the shell guns and quickly disappeared into the night.

Sun Yumin motioned for the fighters to disperse, and asked the female students to form a circle and let a few girls who had broken their wet clothes change their clothes. I also walked dozens of meters, hidden in the darkness, carefully observing the situation in this small village.

After half an hour, Sun Yumin saw that the two of them had not returned, and he was a little anxious. He didn't know what danger was hidden in the dark night, and if it was just him, he wouldn't hesitate to take the risk alone. But now there are more than a dozen female students behind him, and more than 20 soldiers of the second regiment, and he has to think about the consequences of many things first, and only after thinking twice can he take action.

But that's fine, my impulsive personality is just right to be honed. Sun Yumin was laughing at himself.

He was thinking wildly, but his vigilance was still not relaxed. Although the footsteps behind him were slight, they were clear and abnormal in Sun Yumin's ears. He heard that it was a woman in the footsteps, so his hand holding the box cannon hung down, and when he looked back, it was really Lu Man.

Maybe I've seen too much life and death in the hospital, which makes this Nizi become a little numb, and her hands that are slightly shaking just now may just be because of a woman's nature: afraid of the dark.

Through the faint starlight, Sun Yumin noticed that this girl had a small and delicate pistol in her hand. He recognized this as a Browning 1906, and the Chinese soldiers called this kind of small gun a palm thunder. The top brass of the national army and some high-ranking officials and dignitaries often used this small pistol with a capacity of only five rounds to flaunt their identity.

Lu Man was triumphant, she ridiculed Sun Yumin: "I haven't seen it, this kind of gun is not common." ”

Sun Yumin looked down on her and wanted to refute the past, but after thinking about it for a while, he let go of this idea again. Of course, he won't give himself trouble, if he is quick to talk for a while, I don't know what kind of tricks this squatting god will come up with to deal with him, whatever she thinks, he is happy.

Sun Yumin wanted to find a place to settle down for the big guy to rest, but now that it has been so long, Liu Wenzhi and Shi have not come back after going for so long, which makes him regret sending them to investigate.

Just as Lu Man was showing off her little pistol beside Sun Yumin again, someone in the darkness not far away ran over quickly.

It was a stone that came, and he said a word, which immediately startled Sun Yumin and Li Tiedan, who was impatient.

He said: "There are devils in the village. ”

Sun Yumin didn't want to cause more trouble, so he asked him: "What about Liu Wenzhi?" Call him back, and we'll sneak by. ”

The stone was stunned for a moment and asked, "Go?" Don't kill these bastards? ”

Sun Yumin breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Can the devil finish killing?" This is too close to Nanjing, as long as the gun is fired, we people will not be able to run. ”

"Even if that were the case, would we just watch the rest of the village die miserably?" Shi's voice trembled a little, he had never resisted Sun Yumin's order, this was the first time.

Sun Yumin was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the stone to ask himself.

In the questioning eyes of the stone, Sun Yumin said: "Our current position is never more than twenty miles away from Nanjing City, do you know what our current situation is?" If it weren't for them, don't worry about them, I would have pounced on them, and would you still use you to talk to me like this? ”

I could hear that Sun Yumin was a little angry, and I also saw that he pointed at Deng Xiufen with his hand when he said them, and knew that what Tuanzuo said was right, but he couldn't get over this hurdle.

In the dark, both men looked a little angry, and the stone was even a little choked.

Chen Yun walked between the two and said to Sun Yumin: "Don't be angry with him, listen to him first." ”

Shi cast a grateful gaze, turned around, and no longer looked at Sun Yumin, and snorted heavily in his nose.

"Tell me, what's going on inside?" Chen Yun asked him.

"There is a squad of devils inside, this village has been slaughtered, and the corpses are piled up in the sunning valley." Shi said, "Liu Ying and I found the location of the devil, but found two rooms full of people. ”

"Who's locked up?" Chen Yun was a little anxious, she blamed the stone for not finishing in one breath.

"There are more than a dozen women in a big house, all of whom are very old. There were kerosene lamps lit in the room, and from the light they were not in good condition, and several of them were completely skinless, and they were tortured by the devils to the point that they were not human. The stone stomped his foot. These brutes who thundered and struck in the sky. ”

"The other room is full of men, much more than women, obviously not from this village." Stone continued, "I don't know where the devils got these people. ”

Sun Yumin didn't want to worry about this, he waited for Shi Shi to finish speaking, and then spoke.

"If you don't call Liu Wenzhi back within five minutes, you don't have to look for us with him."

"Tuanza ......"

"Needless to say, I'm not going to care about it." Sun Yumin's tone was resolute.

Stone was really angry at this time, he was a little angry, he pulled up the hammer of the shell gun, and said, "I'll save it alone." ”

"Well, you wait until we're far away before you shoot. Don't pull us on our backs. "Sun Yumin is very ruthless.

Stone couldn't believe his ears, he was startled by what he said. The person in front of him is still the one who loves soldiers like a son, or the one who treats himself like a brother, can he share half of his camp with a bowl of noodles? The battle of Nanjing City changed him, and Shishi's heart seemed to be dripping blood.

"Yumin......" Chen Yungang wanted to speak, but Sun Yumin ruthlessly interrupted her.

"Needless to say, I'm not going to change my decision." After saying that, he walked out of the village.

Lu Man glanced at Chen Yun and Shishi, didn't say anything, and trotted to his side.

The female students stood still, but most of the soldiers followed in the footsteps of their group, and the few fighters who had been protecting the female students volunteered to stay.

Quack, quack, quack......

The damned Night Raven is calling again.

There is a long-standing saying in Sun Yumin's hometown that every time the night crow cries incessantly, a person's soul will be taken away by it, and the people there call the night crow a life crow.

Sun Yumin didn't want to touch this mold, but that wasn't a reason for him not to save those men and women.

After walking for half the night, I walked for twenty miles, and the speed of these women was as slow as a snail. This made Sun Yumin helpless, he knew very well that no matter whether the gun was fired tonight or not, as long as he did it, within tomorrow, these people would definitely be surrounded by devils. After all, it is not a trivial matter for a small group of Japanese soldiers to be killed, and the devil head will definitely chase it to the end. It's easy for the soldiers to die on the battlefield, but what about these schoolgirls? What kind of treatment and destruction they will be treated and destroyed is something that Sun Yumin does not dare to think about.

If Sun Yumin was asked to make a choice between his own life and the lives of those ordinary people, he might protect his glory and sacrifice his life to save him. But not now, he can't gamble with the lives of this group of people to save another group of people, he can't do it.

Lu Man didn't understand this truth, but Dong Wenbin understood this truth, and he understood the reason why the acting brigade commander refused to save those people.

As a soldier and a Chinese, Dong Wenbin felt that he had to do something for these people. So he walked up to Sun Yumin and said, "Brigade, if they can kill these devils without firing their guns, I have a way to make them unable to find our traces in the near future." ”

Sun Yumin stopped, looked at the strange soldier beside him, and asked, "Hello Miansheng, which unit was originally from?" ”

"Report to the brigade, I am a second lieutenant telegraph operator in the telecommunications room of the brigade headquarters, Dong Wenbin."

This person Sun Yumin had a little impression, as if he was brought to the position by Chief of Staff Wan, and later asked Huzi to bring it down. He is actually not a hard-hearted person, and when he heard this Dong Wenbin say that he had a way, Sun Yumin wanted to hear it.

"Is there anything you can do to keep the devils from finding out?"

"Each squad of the devil soldiers who comes out alone has a walkie-talkie, as long as the ghost soldiers' superiors call, someone can pretend to be the devil signal soldier to answer, then they will definitely not find out for a while." Dong Wenbin replied.

"Are you so sure?" Sun Yumin was skeptical.

"Of course, but there are also two drawbacks, which are not easy to operate." Dong Wenbin sold a pass.

In fact, he didn't say that Sun Yumin was probably aware of what he was talking about, first of all, the distance of the Japanese army's walkie-talkie conversation could only be no more than 10 kilometers, which means that there must be another unknown number of Japanese troops or detachments within 10 kilometers, and if you want to paralyze the Japanese army's unit that keeps in touch with this team, you must send someone to guard the side of this walkie-talkie, and you must also be able to speak Japanese. Secondly, it is necessary to find out the unit and superiors of this Japanese squad, as well as the purpose of this squad and the name of the squad leader.

After finally solving these problems, Sun Yumin's brows furrowed even tighter.

As he expected, Dong Wenbin's method was the same as his thinking. The only thing I didn't expect was that this second lieutenant telegraph operator could speak fluent Japanese, and he also offered to stay here and use walkie-talkie to deal with the Japanese army.

Dong Wenbin actually knows that the probability of success of his method is very low, and there are too many conditions to be met. I was already planning to throw this body here, and they could fall out with the brigade for the sake of those men and women who were locked up, so why couldn't they throw their heads and spill their blood. He saw that Sun Yumin was still thinking, so he said: "I'm delaying time here, and if there is a problem, it's easy to run alone." As long as you mark along the way, I'm sure I'll be able to keep up with the group. ”

Looking at the seemingly confident young man in front of him, Sun Yumin was a little touched, this guy was very similar to himself a few years ago, if he wasn't high-spirited back then, how could he get scarred on his body. There is also this scar on his face, Sun Yumin's hand unconsciously touched this scar that has been with him for eight years.

Dong Wenbin saw that Sun Yumin didn't answer his words, so he had to shout softly: "Brigade!" ”

Sun Yumin came back to his senses, and he made a decision.

Regardless of the outcome, he will do his best to rescue these people, even though it is a paper life.

Chen Yun didn't understand why Sun Yumin refused to save people, in her world, this man was a hero who stood up to the sky, and there were no difficulties that he couldn't overcome and things that couldn't be solved. But she was disappointed by all this in front of her. For the sake of his own life and his own way of life, this perfect man in his heart wanted to throw away the people imprisoned by the Japanese army and not save them. Even if so many people begged for it, he was indifferent.

What kind of person is he? What was in his mind? What colors are in his world? What is his role in his life?

Chen Yun is almost unable to see through it, and people are on the verge of collapse.
