Chapter 31: I Can't Run Away

Zhang Xiaohu took these more than 30 people to the riverside, looking at the river rolling eastward and frustrating.

Although it is winter, the water of the Yangtze River is still very turbulent, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to cross the river with these door panels.

The sound of car lights and car engines in the distance was approaching at this moment, and Zhang Xiaohu and Shi were also anxious at this moment.

Chen Yun and Lu Man also frowned when they looked at the turbulent river, both of them were intellectual young people who had gone to school and seen the world, how could they not know how small human beings were in front of nature.

Is the Yangtze River in front of him his burial place? Chen Yun was thinking. Although he is not afraid of death, but because of his own thoughts, he has let all the people accompany him to die here, is it a bit too much. At this time, Chen Yun even felt a little regret and guilt, how much she hoped that the omnipotent man in her mind could find a way out for everyone to live again.

Li Tie Dan carried Sun Yumin on his back, Liu Wenzhi pulled Liu Yuying, and the four of them walked quickly in the dark, seeing that they were about to reach the river, and there was the sound of running footsteps behind them.

Liu Yuying was the first to hear it, and she was shouting as she ran: "Brother Sun, someone is chasing after you." ”

Sun Yumin didn't hear the sound at all, he asked curiously, "Little girl, why didn't I hear it." ”

"Alone, fast running." Liu Yuying spoke to herself, suddenly smiled mischievously, and said, "That person can't outrun me." ”

Sun Yumin suddenly found that even Li Tiedan, a cow, and Liu Wenzhi, a veteran soldier, were panting, but this girl was not red and her heart was not beating, it was Liu Wenzhi who pulled her to run before, but after a while, it became this little girl who pulled Liu Wenzhi to run.

Maybe he was too nervous and anxious, Liu Wenzhi didn't notice anything wrong until Sun Yumin asked the little guy: "Why can you run so well?" ”

Liu Yuying was embarrassed, and said squirmingly: "Since I was a child, I have only played with boys, and I often make them jump into the river, and I often run this road." ”

The four of them had slowed down when they spoke, and Sun Yumin really saw the person chasing behind him, the young man who Sun Yumin asked him to speak, but was frightened back a few steps.

Sun Yumin was about to ask him what he was doing, but the young man spoke first: "Sir, I see that you have demolished so many door panels, do you want to cross the river?" ”

Sun Yumin, Liu Wenzhi, and Li Tiedang all nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"The door panels can't be crossed, standing on the shore feels that the water is nothing, and when you get into the river, these planks will become a burden. Even if you are lucky enough not to touch the whirlpool, the turbulent water will carry people and planks all the way down, and you can't swim. The young man continued.

"What then?" Liu Wenzhi was also applauded for his wit before, and after being reminded by this young man who had been begging for a life on the river, his face turned pale with fright, if these people really used these door panels to cross the river, wouldn't it be equivalent to pushing them into the ghost gate with his own hands!

"I have a way to cross the river, but ......," the young man said only half of his words.

"As long as you can send us people across the river, you can mention the conditions." Sun Yumin said, and then he added: "As long as we can do it, we will never shirk." He was afraid that this young man would not help, and he rarely gave people promises.

"I want to join the army, I want to fight devils with you!" The young man's eyes were full of hope.

"Of course no problem, what is your name, you will be a soldier of our second regiment in the future." Liu Wenzhi was faster than Sun Yumin's statement.

"You don't count what you say, you have to say it before you count." The young man pointed to Sun Yumin behind Li Tiedan.

Liu Wenzhi was speechless, the two little guys who caught up tonight were so clever.

Liu Yuying stretched out her little hand and said to the little young man: "Welcome to join us, my name is Liu Yuying, and everyone in the village calls me Xiao Yuying." ”

The young man scratched his head shyly, did not shake her hand, and muttered, "I don't have a big name, and the people on the boat all call me Xiaoshan." After speaking, he looked at Sun Yumin with a blank eye.

At this juncture, Sun Yumin naturally will not have any objections. He pointed to the little girl and said, "She agreed, and we have nothing to say." You are welcome to join us. ”

The young man Xiaoshan showed a shy smile on his face, and he was embarrassed to face this little girl who had entered the second regiment less than ten minutes earlier than him.

"It's time for us to go." Li Tiedan's voice sounded out at an inopportune time, he didn't open his mouth all the way, not that he didn't want to speak, but he was always afraid of the ancestor on his back, and he was always worried about when the head of the regiment behind him would bite him hard.

The bright light of the car's headlights was unusually dazzling in the dark night, like a few lightsabers inserted into the sky. Even if there was still some distance, Sun Yumin and the others could feel a strong killing intent.

The five of them hurried to the riverside where Chen Yun and the others were.

Sun Yumin descended from behind Li Tietang to the ground and hurriedly assigned tasks to everyone.

According to his instructions, Shi took several warriors and Chen Yun's students, Lu Man and Xiao Yuying to follow Xiaoshan to the place where he said to cross the river.

Huzi and the other soldiers threw part of the door panel into the Yangtze River according to Sun Yumin's order, and part of the door panel was thrown in a mess by the river. After doing this, he followed behind the group that had already walked about 200 meters.

Liu Wenzhi and Li Tiedan were left behind by Sun Yumin.

Lu Man and Chen Yun were very worried about his injury, for fear that he would suddenly faint again, and even more afraid that he would never return.

Especially Chen Yun, all this that happened at night was done by her own hands, and a strong sense of guilt has been haunting her heart.

She didn't know what he was doing with Liu Wenzhi and Li Tietang in the back, but she knew very well that it must be a difficult thing, and it must be something that helped her wipe her ass and finish it. She walked and turned back until she could no longer see the three shadows by the river.

Inukai Watanabe was a lieutenant squadron leader in the 1st Brigade of the 36th Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

The siege battle of the previous days had caused a large group to lose most of its troops, and even the captain of the brigade, Ito Yoshimitsu, was killed in an attack by the counter-charge of the Chinese defenders.

The 1st Brigade was also given a rare garrison logistics task due to the death of Captain Ito Yoshimitsu. During the day, he sent more than a dozen small detachments to search for boatmen and fishermen to prepare in advance for the troops' supplies to cross the river.

In fact, with the strength of the Japanese army, it is possible to build a pontoon bridge casually, but it will take time.

But the Japanese base camp could not afford to wait, and at the beginning of the war, they clamored for the destruction of China in three months. The retreat of the three eastern provinces without a fight also seems to confirm the words of the Japanese military leadership. But he did not expect that the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing would be fought for more than two months, and it was seen that this plan to quickly destroy China would be stillborn.

The base camp of the Japanese army did not give up, in order to open up the Jinpu line and bring the northern and southern battlefields together. On the fifth day after the end of the Battle of Nanjing, an order was issued to attack Xuzhou, an important military town in Central China. The 13th Division, which participated in the attack on Nanjing, crossed the Yangtze River north and advanced to the line of Lotang and Mingguang on the east bank of the Chihe River in Anhui.

It is precisely because of the urgency of time that the transportation capacity of the Japanese army on the river is far from meeting the needs of the Japanese troops who need to move north quickly. Under these circumstances, the headquarters of the Japanese army dispatched to Shanghai sent a telegram to the ministry, asking all units to solve the ships needed to cross the river on their own. It was the two words 'demand' on the telegram that in disguise prompted the frenzied robbery and killing of all the units stationed in Nanjing.

It was because of this that Watanabe Inukai was sent an errand by Wing Captain Jiro Wakisaka.

Only two or three of the more than 10 detachments he sent did not rush back to their station, including the detachment that stayed overnight in Liujia Village in Shangtang.

There should have been no accidents around Nanjing after the war, but in the middle of the night, just an hour earlier, the commander of this squad, Second Lieutenant Kobayashi, made an urgent call, saying that it had been attacked by a large group of unknown forces, and that by the time the signal corps reported it to Watanabe Inu, who was already asleep, there was no reply. At this time, the sentry on duty also came to report that a few minutes ago, there had been a fierce exchange of fire in the direction of the river in the distance.

After hearing the reports from both sides, Watanabe Inukai hurriedly gathered his troops and rushed to the village where the incident occurred by car.

The village was empty, not a single living person, to be exact.

Watanabe Inukai looked at the corpses of twenty or thirty Imperial Army warriors in front of him, stripped naked and reduced to a piece of crotch cloth, and was furious, hysterically shouting to break the corpses of the soldiers who killed these warriors.

Experienced veterans reported that all of the warriors had died at the hands of imitation German M24 grenades and 9mm20 Mauser pistols, and Watanabe immediately understood that it was the Chinese defenders who had escaped from the city of Nanjing.

Another Japanese soldier reported that many door panels, bullets scattered in a hurry, and many scattered footprints were found on the Yangtze River less than two miles from the village.

At this time, it was just dawning, and I don't know how these ghost soldiers found those remnants and traces.

When Watanabe Inuyo came to the riverside with a team of soldiers with flashlights, Sun Yumin, who was hiding in the dark, immediately became excited. Xindao: This Japanese officer is too light on the enemy, and if he doesn't destroy it, I'm really sorry for the villagers of Liujia Village who died.

Watanabe Inukai never thought that he did not die in Guanghuamen Castle, but died in this unknown small place.

When a crisp Chinese rifle sounded, this invincible Japanese captain, who was still shouting in the ancestral hall before, stared and threw himself into the fine sand by the river.

As soon as the rifle in Sun Yumin's hand rang out, the Czech style in Liu Wenzhi's hand also spit out the flame of revenge, "Dada... "The precise spot shot played a beautiful rhythm. One by one, the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard fell in this rhythm of asking for their lives.

Listening to the pleasant sound of Czech-style shooting, Sun Yumin suddenly remembered Zhou Hong, the good brother who played Makqin with great fascination, and did not find his whole body after his death.

Li Tiedan's grenade was thrown far away, and he threw it casually, and a few seconds later, an explosion could be heard from the place where the Japanese troops were hiding seventy or eighty meters away. Sun Yumin couldn't help but be taken aback. He never knew that this third battalion commander, who was straight and had a lot of food like a cow, actually had such a magic skill.

In just ten or twenty seconds, the small group of Japanese soldiers brought by Watanabe Inukai to the riverside suffered almost half of the casualties, and the rest of the people fell to the ground one after another.

After Sun Yumin fired a burst of black guns, he quickly slipped down a slope and rushed forward along the riverbank.

Most of the devil soldiers in the village heard the movement by the river, and one or two hundred people quickly moved towards the place where the guns were fired, organized by two or three devil officers. Outflanked on both sides, reinforced all the way, the devil soldiers have been divided without anyone assigning tasks, and the combat literacy is amazing. By the time they arrived at the scene of the incident, the gunfire had stopped. The devil soldiers who were lying on the ground were afraid that they would be shot again, and no one dared to get up, and they were kicked and kicked one by one by the reinforced Japanese officers.

The angry kicking officer was a lieutenant, Watanabe's deputy. He looked at the squadron leader who was shot in the head by Sun Yumin, and roared angrily: "The despicable Chinese soldier definitely didn't run far, chase me." ”

Under the command of the lieutenant, the three-way Japanese army led the military dog with a flashlight and chased Sun Yumin and them in the direction of escape.

The barking of the military dogs in the dark night, the shouting of the devil soldiers, the explosions that rang out from time to time, and the gunshots of the 38 Dagai made the whole area extremely noisy.

Sun Yumin ran forward with Liu Wenzhi, and from time to time he fell into the water-filled rice field because of the weakness under his feet. When he fell for the first time, he refused Li Tiedan's request to carry him on his back, and before he ran far, Sun Yumin fell on the field stalk again. This wrestling completely threw Sun Yumin's self-esteem on the edge of the Yangtze River. When Li Tie had the courage to carry him on his back, Sun Yumin never resisted again.

The gunshots behind were getting closer and closer, and the barking of military dogs was clearly audible, and Liu Wenzhi asked loudly while running: "Tuanzao, they have dogs, we can't run away." ”

Sun Yumin was also regretting the sneak attack just now, he thought that with the night, the three of them could slip away without realizing it. Unexpectedly, these devils came too quickly. I didn't expect that the devils actually had military dogs, and there was more than one. Now he didn't have a good way to deal with those big wolf dogs. I had to grit my teeth behind Li Tietang and say, "Don't worry about it for now, run forward." ”

The road is not easy to walk in the dark night, Liu Wenzhi is in front and Li Tie is behind, the two of them are one foot deep and one foot shallow, saying that they are running, but in fact they are not much faster than walking.

The light of the flashlight behind him and the long torch were already close to be seen, and the military dog seemed to have smelled the smell of the three people, barking more and more fiercely, and the stray bullets fired by the devil soldiers flew over or around the heads of the three people from time to time, and the scorching air flow brought by the swishing fire line made the three people dare not stop.

Liu Wenzhi's heart was horizontal, and he gave way in the middle of running, and he stood on the side of the road and said to Li Tiedan, who was already out of breath: "Hurry up and take the group seat away, I will break the back." ”

Li Tie Dan didn't say anything, he was also a human being, and he ran for a few miles with Sun Yumin on his back, his hands were already sore, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead. He is now holding on completely with one breath, he heard Liu Wenzhi's words, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear that if he opened his mouth, the breath that supported him would be discharged.

Sun Yumin felt that this brother who would never get tired was about to reach the limit of his physical fitness, and the three of them were already at the end of the crossbow, and they would definitely not be able to outrun the devil soldiers with wolf dogs. He patted Li Tie Dan on the shoulder and said, "Tie Dan, stop, let's not run!" ”
