Chapter 65: Seeking the Skin of the Tiger
The two Japanese soldiers asked us not to get too close, fearing that as soon as they got on the raft, their pursuers would shoot. In order to reassure them, and to gain their trust, my father's repeated insistence that I took people to keep a certain distance from them, so by the time we arrived at the river, things had already happened.
According to Tan Qinrou's description later, after the two Japanese scouts got on the bamboo raft, they suddenly showed their fierce appearances, trying to pull Tan Qinrou and another female student to go on the bamboo raft, fortunately, Tan Qinrou was not a weak woman, a burst of punches and kicks almost kicked a Japanese soldier into the river, and the other female student also struggled desperately, plus my father picked up his cane and beat him randomly, finally did not let them succeed.
Later, when my father was arguing with the Japanese soldiers on the raft, probably reprimanding them for not being trustworthy, one of the Japanese soldiers took out his pistol in anger and fired several shots at my father and the two schoolgirls on the shore.
Tan Qinrou often rides a horse and shoots arrows, her body's flexibility and reaction are much stronger than ordinary people, when she heard the first gunshot, she pulled the schoolgirl to the ground, and when she raised her head, the Japanese bamboo raft had already sailed away from the east bank, and my father was lying in a pool of blood moaning in pain.
We rushed to the river, and in the course of running, we continuously shot at the Japanese troops lying on the bamboo rafts in the Nu River, but the river was flowing too fast, and we couldn't aim at the target at all when we carried the bamboo rafts down the river, so we could only watch the two Japanese scouts lying on the raft and drifting down the wind to the west bank.
We also did not dare to delay too long on the shore, because with such a good line of sight, it would be easy for the Japanese troops on the west bank to discover and become a target for their gun training.
We carried my father and retreated into the woods by the river. Tan Qinrou was unscathed, and the female student was only bruised by a bullet on her arm, although she looked bloody, it was actually only a skin injury.
My father was not so lucky, because he was facing the Japanese soldiers who were shooting, and he himself was not dexterous in his legs and feet, so he didn't do any dodging action at all, and he was hit in the ribs by a bullet from a southern-style pistol, and the blood had already stained a large piece of clothing on his chest.
When he saw me, his whole body trembled with pain: "Sihu, I, I may not be able to do it anymore, this Japanese has no faith at all...... I'm ...... Seek skin with the tiger, take the blame for yourself, take the blame for yourself......"
I comforted him: "Don't worry, you are not a mortal wound, and we have a field hospital, and we have a doctor who has returned from Germany, and we will definitely cure you...... What are you doing around! Get the car! Go to see Longwan and ask Dr. Shangguan to go to the hospital immediately! ”
We carried my father to the field hospital, and I followed the crowd for a long distance when I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when I looked around, I realized that Ani was not among us.
"Ani!" I turned around and shouted.
"Who saw where Ani went?" I asked the people around me, but no one answered me.
Tan Qinrou was still a little shocked, but still asked: "Which Ani?" ”
I said, "It's the female soldier who had dinner with me in Deyue Tower." Where did you see her? ”
Tan Qinrou snorted coldly: "It turned out to be her...... Didn't see it! ”
It seems that she still remembers that Ani squeezed her that day, and I ignored her and called over two Qiu Ba: "Go back to the river to see if Ani didn't come back with her." ”
Because I was anxious about my father's gunshot wounds, I had no time to care about anything else, so I took a car provided by friendly forces nearby and escorted my father to the field hospital.
Shangguan Yusi had already been waiting in the hospital, and briefly looked at my father's injuries: "The bullet did not penetrate, it remains in the body, and it will be operated on immediately!" ”
My father was pushed into the operating room, and I sat on the chair outside the operating room dejectedly, Tan Qinrou did not leave, and also sat opposite me: "Hello...... You don't have to worry about Uncle An's injury, my father said that Jiren has his own natural ......"
I glanced at her, "Why don't you go back?" ”
Tan Qinrou: "I'm waiting for my classmate to bandage his wounds." ”
"But your classmate has already bandaged his wounds and left." I reminded her.
Tan Qinrou: "Uncle An helped us, of course I have to stay here for a while, otherwise if I go back like this, my father will definitely scold me for being ignorant again, and I won't be at ease myself." ”
"You better go back, Mr. Tan doesn't know your situation yet, he's worried about you." I stood up as I spoke, I wanted to go to the riverside to see, I don't know what happened to Ani.
"My classmates will tell him...... Hey, where are you going? Tan Qinrou found out that I was leaving, and immediately stood up and stopped in front of me.
I thought to myself that this eldest lady seemed to be really domineering, and she stopped people from leaving for no reason, so I said coldly: "Miss Tan, you can't help but be too lenient, where do I have to report to you?" ”
Tan Qinrou: "I mean ...... Uncle Ann is still in surgery, how can you walk at this time! ”
I said, "First, I'm relieved to have Dr. Shangguan here. Second, the operation won't be done for a while, and I'm just sitting here, and it won't help! Besides, I have something else to do - are these reasons sufficient! ”
Tan Qinrou didn't play the eldest lady's temper with me anymore: "Are you worried about that Ani?" …… Don't worry, she's fine, I saw her chasing the two Japanese along the river. ”
Listening to Tan Qinrou say this, I only then knew the reason why Ani didn't come back with her, she actually went down the river beach to chase the two escaped Japanese scouts, which is strange to say that there is no danger, it is really an area that is easy to be shot by the Japanese army on the other side.
I was about to go back to the river to pick up Ani, and Ani had already come back in a hurry, she looked very embarrassed, her clothes were scratched by thorns and thorns, and even her face had a few blood marks.
I asked her, "Ani, how did you get that?" ”
Ani looked down at herself, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's all scraped by drilling the forest by the river, if you don't drill the forest, it's really a mile, the devil's bullet is really accurate!" ”
Ani said it was an understatement, but to make Ani so embarrassed, the situation at that time must have been extremely dangerous, it is estimated that Ani was chased by the bullets on the other side of the river and had no choice, and was unwilling to let go of the two Japanese soldiers, so he continued to chase along the river beach in the low forest on the edge of the river beach.
"Brother An, I killed those two devils!" Ani said with a grin.
Ani didn't retreat after we withdrew into the woods, and let the two Japanese escape from her guns, and Ani couldn't swallow it.
When the bamboo raft was about to land, the two Japanese scouts couldn't wait to jump into the shallow water and wanted to wade ashore. They didn't worry too much about the danger from behind, for while they were still drifting in the river, they had already seen that the pursuers on the east bank had retreated.
Ani risked her life all the way and ran along, just waiting for such an opportunity, she lay down among the thorns and fired three shots in succession, the first shot hit the head of the Japanese soldier behind, killing him directly, and the body fell in the river. The second shot hit the back of the Japanese soldier in front, but this shot did not hit the vital point, and the guy still struggled to climb to the shore, so Ani made up the third shot and sent him to Hades.
