Chapter 43: A Surprise Encounter with the Japanese Army

Born in troubled times, no matter whether you are poor or rich, you will not be able to live in peace.

Among the swordsmen, life is like an ant.

In Jiangsu, on the muddy land after the rain, the fleeing crowd stretched into a long line, almost unable to see the head and tail, and every face was full of sorrow and exhaustion, moving forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The surrounding mountains and fields are full of dead leaves, grass and trees, and they all seem to have a deep sense of sadness.

The poor people could only rely on their feet, carrying large bags and small bags, dragging their children and daughters, but the rich and noble families were better, driving ox carts and carriages, and slowly moving forward in the crowd of refugees.

The Su family was considered a wealthy family, with four or five carriages, and seven or eight loyal servants with guns to escort them, and from time to time they drove away the ordinary people who tried to get closer.

In the carriage in front are Su Yan and Su Ya sisters and brothers, and in the back are the old men and ladies of the Su family, and the middle trailers are carrying property, sundries, food, and so on.

"Hurry up, when will you get to the next market?"

Master Su poked his head out of the car window and shouted, but when he saw the long crowd of refugees, he retracted into the carriage without waiting for the servants to reply, and let out a long sigh.

Mrs. Su's face was pale, tired and tight, obviously tired from the journey in the past few days, she was a daughter since she was a child, and she married her husband's family and was a pampered young grandmother and wife, where did she have suffered from this kind of long journey, even if it was by car.

"Madam, we are going to the next market, where our family's property is located, when we get to the place, let's rest for a few days before leaving!"

Mr. Su said, Shanghai men are famous for loving their wives, and he is one of the seventy-four filial husbands, looking at Mrs. like this, he was distressed like a knife, and after comforting his wife, he sighed again: "The world is prosperous, the people are suffering, the world is dying, and the people are suffering and I don't know when we, the people, will be able to live a peaceful life?" ”

Chinese scholar-style complaints, fortunately, no one hears them, if the ordinary people outside who drag their children and daughters hear his words, I'm afraid they can't wait to rush up and smoke him a few big mouths, why are you sitting in the car and complaining? Do you know what bitterness is?

"The one who was a soldier killed more than eighty devils by himself, more than eighty!"

In the carriage in front of him, Su Yan was still chattering about the Sichuan army he met on the front line that night, he remembered Lu Yuan's starry eyes that lit up in the night, so his eyes were bright, and said: "We China, if we can have more such generals, we will definitely be able to beat the little devils away, no, it is to subdue them!" ”

"Scared, more than eighty?"

Su Ya covered her mouth with a low snort and said, "Isn't one person killing so many people a murderer?" ”

"Little devils are burning and looting everywhere, who are they?"

As soon as Su Yan said this, the muscles on his neck involuntarily burst out, and he grinned for a while: "Sister, I can tell you, that person is tall and handsome, if you can marry such a brother-in-law, you will wake up laughing in your dreams!" ”

"What nonsense!"

Su Ya's pretty face turned red, and she raised her pink fist and hammered Su Yan a few times and said coquettishly: "I see you, it's not easy to learn anything in school, but you learned to parade and flamboyant."

Just when she said this, her mind couldn't help but think of a tall man with sword eyebrows, holding a gun and thinking about a group of fierce devils rushing towards her, but she couldn't see that face clearly.

So her face turned even redder, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, no one would not yearn to meet a good man who stood up to the sky, and he was also a handsome guy.

Su Yan choked up at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "However, that person must be dead, many of them are injured, they look worse than beggars, when we went, they were preparing to launch a counterattack, many classmates and friends went, but I didn't go, I really feel useless."

"Our family has paid for it, brother!"

Su Ya was also sad, hugged Su Yan in her arms and comforted him: "Didn't Chairman Jiang say that he has money to contribute money and strength, my father donated a full 500 yuan last time, and it is said that he can sell many guns!" ”

"However, it is not enough to save the country by paying money!"

Su Yan said in a trembling voice: "You can't beat the Japanese devils with money alone, you have to shed blood to drive them away!" ”

"Don't do stupid things anymore, when you went out that day, I didn't dare to sleep all night, if you were again, our Su family would be finished!"

Su Ya persuaded, patting Su Yan on the back, like when she was a child, in her eyes, Su Yan may always be a child, but she knows deeply that this younger brother is no longer a child, he has his own ideas, he has his own things to do, she can only persuade: "Besides, just someone to work hard, no one can pay, guns and guns need money."

Su Yan nodded, he wanted to complain more than he really wanted to go to the battlefield thinking about the classmates who didn't come back that night, his friends were all on the battlefield, and he didn't know how many he could survive, so he felt very uncomfortable.

All around, suddenly there was chaos at this moment, screams, strange screams, dense footsteps, running and crying all together.

"What's going on?" Su Ya's face turned pale in an instant.

"Su Ya, Yan'er, get out of the car, devil"

In the next moment, Mr. Su opened the car door suddenly, his face was deformed in horror, behind him, Mrs. Su had fallen to the ground, and a screaming refugee stepped on her in a mess, crying and screaming, and several loyal servants rushed over to pull her up.

Wasn't the Japanese army in Shanghai? How did you end up here? They didn't know that the Japanese army had landed from Hangzhou Bay, and a large number of troops had turned the line along Hangzhou and Suzhou into a slaughterhouse!

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Su Yan saw a scene that he would never forget, the fleeing crowd scattered like a bombed hornet's nest, and the children who were separated from their parents were screaming and crying, and countless shoes and packages were scattered on the ground.

In the distance, a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed over with a scream, raised their guns, fired, and some even set up machine guns to strafe them, and some grenadiers were firing at the dense refugee crowd, exploding in the crowd, and the crowd fell in pieces!

"They, how can they attack the unarmed people"

Su Ya cried, she knew how to read, she had read books, and in all wars, only those beast troops would attack the unarmed people.

"Don't be stunned, run"

There are servants screaming, Master Su is screaming, and Mrs. Su is crying: "Our belongings, our belongings"

She pointed to the carriages, on which were the Su family's accumulated property for an unknown number of years.

"Go, go, you can earn it again when the money is gone, but your life is gone, there is nothing!"

At this time, Master Su finally showed the courage of a parent, yelled, dragged Mrs. Su towards the mountains, and shouted: "Yan'er, take your sister, go quickly!" ”

A group of people mingled in the crowd of screaming and screaming, fleeing into the distance!

Da-da-da-da

Dense gunfire rang out behind him, and bullets rained down
