Chapter 23: Desperate Survival
Changkong is powerless to dodge, disappointed in himself, desperate! After this knife, I will be able to meet Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao, I hope they haven't gone far!
Hattori strengthened his momentum and slashed at Nagaku's neck..
Bang-bang-two explosions, startling the devils to the ground. This was followed by fierce gunfire, which was Czech and mid-formal.
Hattori Zhengnan couldn't wait for Sima Changkong, who couldn't wait for death, and commanded the devil soldiers to fight back.
Yang Rong led people to kill him, taking advantage of the fierceness of the charge to temporarily suppress the devil, Yang Rong grabbed the sky and ran away, this kid is not dead! The sky has eyes, and it has caught up at this juncture! One more step later, even a small one..
Hattori's machine gunners quickly turned the tide of the battle, and the initiative returned to the Japanese army, and in close shootouts, the devil still had the advantage, and the key to the problem was the weapon. Although our "Zhongzheng" is many times stronger than Hanyang, and its lethality is also strong, the bolt is not easy to pull, and the accuracy and range are not as good as the devil's 38 big cover, and more than a dozen brothers have fallen again..
"Company commander, take the battalion commander away!" The four remaining soldiers turned around and rushed towards the devil, and they were even more fierce with several bullets. Each of the four soldiers pounced on a devil and pulled off the grenade on his body.
Four clouds of blood mist flashed the sky in the evening and at night, like a dazzling light that came in an instant, brightening the eyes of the devils.
Yang Rong had already disappeared with Sima Changkong. Hattori did not continue to chase, and the two Chinese soldiers were like lost dogs, so there was no need to worry, and besides, the daimyo had already taken it or collected troops and entered the city, so that they could rest and recuperate.
In fact, Yang Rong and Changkong did not go far, they hid in the dirt pit, and waited until the stars in the sky were all on their posts, and then they came out tremblingly. They were not shivering with fright, but shivering from the cold, and there was only a cold wind on the November night, and there was not a grain of grain in their stomachs...
"The Daimyo City has been occupied by devils, and Master He was shot and injured, I don't know what happened! When I came to you, the division gave the order to retreat south. Yang Rong looked depressed.
"Why are you still looking for me? You should retreat south with the troops! ”
Yang Rong didn't like to hear this, so he looked a little angry, and said, "The teacher told me to find you!" Even if you die, you have to find your body. Besides, we are brothers who are born and die, and you are the only person I admire, you want to die together, you want to live together! ”
"Die to die!" Changkong put the knife across his neck and shouted: "Brothers, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Yang Rong snatched the knife, slapped Changkong, and pushed Changkong to the ground, very excited: "You really disappointed me!" I risked my life to save you, not to watch you kill yourself! Deng Zhi and Da Biao are dead, and many brothers are also dead, but you have to understand why they died and for whom? They traded their lives for your life, and you just gave yourself a knife? Are you worthy of them? When you arrived at Huangquan, they asked if you had avenged them, how did you answer? ”
Yang Rong also squatted down, put one hand on Changkong's shoulder, and said that he would not stay with the tears in his eyes. Yang Rong calmed down for a moment and said, "You have to live!" Live out the lives left to you by your brothers! It's not time to die! They entrust the future to you, don't be too burdened, I'll carry it with you! When I can give them an explanation, it's never too late to die! ”
Changkong finally couldn't bear the accumulated emotions, and threw himself into Yang Rong's arms and cried - the man didn't flick his tears, but he didn't get to the sad place.
In the Daimyo Castle, the devils are holding a celebration banquet.
"Hattori-kun, although it is my advanced city, but if it weren't for Hattori-kun's courage to take on the command of the division after the death of General Akimichi, I don't think we would have been able to take this ancient city. So, you are the head gong. Kishimoto smiled and toasted Hattori with a glass of wine, he knew that Hattori was very likely to be promoted to division commander because of this, although it was only one level short, but one level higher was one level.
"Kishimoto-kun has won the award, we are here to liberate China, and we are fighting for justice! So every Imperial soldier is a hero in this battle! ”
"After taking the Daimyofu, we can connect North China, Henan, and Shandong, and take the first step to encircle Xuzhou." Kishimoto's Japanese mustache looks so unbeatable.
"This battle made me understand that the Chinese army cannot be underestimated, although we took the famous city, but more than 1,000 casualties, it was a tragic victory! It is our duty to let the warriors of the empire throw their bodies on the battlefield. Hattori held the wine glass and didn't drink it.
"Hattori-kun, victory is everything. Cheers to the cause of the Empire! ”
Hattori and Kishimoto drank the cup of victory with satisfaction.
In the middle of the night, Changkong and Yang Rong found a village, they were already so hungry that they couldn't stand it, so they found a random one and started knocking on the door. In the era of war and chaos, who heard the knock in the middle of the night did not dare to come out easily, who knew whether it was a person or a ghost who knocked on the door...
The two knocked for a long time, but no one got up, and the barking of the dog was earth-shattering.
"Hmph, our knock on the door didn't wake people up, but woke up the dogs in the village!" Yang Rong leaned against the wall.
"Why don't we go somewhere else!" Changkong said this, but his hand still knocked on the door panel again.
"It's freezing, where can I find it? Just knock, someone will open the door! ”
The courtyard door of a family next to it "squeaked-" opened, and the two of them came to their senses, tidied up their bloody clothes, and paid attention to their image.
A big black dog stepped out, didn't bark, just stared at Yang Rong and Changkong... stared at them so much that their hearts were furious.
"We're still hungry! Maybe it's going to be an adult's supper! Yang Rong didn't move, the dog stared at him, but he didn't dare to stare at the dog, and said to Changkong: "Don't stare at the dog's eyes!" The old people said that whoever stared at it, it would bite! ”
"Then let's run!" Changkong whispered, his lips didn't dare to move, and this sentence was squeezed out of his teeth.
"Come on, with the physical strength of the two of us now, can we outrun it? It's better to keep it like this, and it's okay! Whoever runs it will definitely bite whom! ”
"Then you run, I promise it won't bite you." The bell-like sound sounds like the bayberry dripping with water, sweet and sour. A young girl walked out, although it was night, but the delicate facial features looked more picturesque in the moonlight, the small eyebrows were like the tender willow leaves in spring, the watery eyes were full of pity, the puffy face was shy, and a thick braid was on the right shoulder, which was summed up in one word - natural beauty.
"Uh... That one.. We.." Changkong was stunned, except for the daughter of Boss Chen's family in the town, he had never seen such a beautiful girl, and his face turned red and he began to talk nonsense: "Ah...... We...... We're basking in the sun...... It's ......"
Yang Rong pestle the air for a long time, and said to the girl, "Girl, we are soldiers, the team has been broken up, our brothers are tired and hungry, so they came to knock on the door, wanting to beg for food to satisfy their hunger!" "Yang Rong is the oldest, knowledgeable, and not flustered.
"Hehehe, I can see that you are soldiers! I must be tired, too! Come into the house with me! The girl had a kind face.
The big black dog still stared at Yang Rong and Changkong, as if to say: "Little example, if you dare to plot against you, watch me bite you to death!" A chill came out of the corners of his mouth......
Changkong and Yang Rong followed the girl tightly into the house.
Probably woken up, the girl's father came out of the back room with a kerosene lamp, and when he saw two bloody people standing, he was startled, and hurriedly pulled his daughter over, protected him, and said, "You guys...... Who are you...... If you dare to touch my daughter, I will not let you go even if I fight for my life! Then he shouted into the house: "Old woman, there are two men in the house, not like good people, you quickly take the guys out!" ”
The girl's mother also jumped out of the house, holding scissors in her hand to Changkong and Yang Rong, and trembled with fear when she saw them holding knives and being covered in blood.
"You girl, tell you that whoever knocks on the door will not open it, why are you so disobedient, secretly run out and let the two of you in, and invite the house to come! Tell me about you......" The old man did not forget to complain.
"Uncle, don't get me wrong! We're not bad guys! Changkong hurriedly explained.
"Go, go, don't be close, who is your uncle!" The old man saw that these two people were quite polite when they spoke, so he relaxed a little, but he had to brush his temper, otherwise these two boys didn't know whose territory they were in, so he said, "You are not bad people?" That good guy has ...... Is there a knife in hand, covered in blood, and still breaking into a private house in the middle of the night? Let me tell you, I am also a character in this pomegranate village, if you dare to mess around, I only need to shout, and the whole village will have to cook you! ”
"We're not bad people! Look at us as the National Revolutionary Army! Yang Rong leaned closer and pointed out the badge to the old man.
The old man saw an "oh" clearly in the light, but then came a sentence: "I can't read!" ”
Yang Rong smiled, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, we are the defenders of the Daimyo City, the devil captured the Daimyo City, and we were separated from the troops!" This body of blood is all from little devils! ”
"Defenders? What are you from? The old man asked again.
"You know the 29th Army of the Anti-Japanese Army, we used to be the 29th Army, and later we changed that part to the 179th Division of the 77th Army, and the division commander was He Jifeng, a famous anti-Japanese general!"
"Oh, it's the Twenty-ninth Army, General He's team! Sit down, sit down! "The old man's attitude is really a 180-degree change, the 29th Army is an anti-Japanese hero, which is well known in North China and even the whole country, and the name He Jifeng is even more well-known. Besides, these two boys really don't look like bad people in terms of face and temperament. In the past two days, there has been a lot of artillery in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion, but this evening suddenly stopped sounding, and these two people seem to be really guarding the Daimyo.
The old man didn't dare to light fireworks in the middle of the night, so he gave the remaining wowotou and pickles to the two of them first. Changkong and Yang Rong have long been hungry, as long as they have food, they don't find fault with anything, they eat what they gobble up, they really look like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, and they are not afraid of choking, and the girl who eats and teases laughs all the time.
The two of them talked about the two days of fighting with the old man, and told them that the Daimyojo Castle had fallen and the troops had withdrawn south, so as to prevent the Japanese army from doing anything wrong in the village. After a storm, Changkong took out a silver dollar from his coat pocket and put it on the table, which was a military salary.
"Thank you, uncle! I won't disturb your rest! After Changkong finished speaking, he walked out with Yang Rong.
The old man stopped them: "Where are the two of you going in the middle of the night, the troops are not here, if you don't think my family is poor, it's not too late to stay here and make plans!" ”
Indeed, where can you go out! In the winter, if you don't die in battle and freeze to death, you will be in a nest.
"It's okay, thank you for taking the benefactor in, but we haven't asked the benefactor for the surname Gao!" Yang Rong opened his mouth first.
"My surname is Yang, a bad old man's name is not enough to worry about! This is my daughter Yuxiu, that is my wife, you can call him Mrs. Yang! I also have a son who lives in this village, so let him come over tomorrow! ”
"Oh, then we're a family! My surname is Yang, my name is Yang Rong! This is my chief Sima Changkong! ”
"Then we'll disturb Yang's house tonight!"
"Our house is not rich, so we can only let the two of us go to the side house to settle down, which is to put some weekday utensils, although the place is not big, but it is also clean!" The old man and the old lady hugged a thick quilt and took Changkong and Yang Rong to the side room to clean up.
The old man asked Yuxiu to find two of her brother's cotton clothes, since the daimyo was captured by the devil, then these two people will inevitably get into trouble if they wear military uniforms again, and it is safer to change into civilian clothes.
The old man wanted to burn the military uniform, just in case, Changkong and Yang Rong took off the epaulettes, badges, and leaders before handing over the clothes to the old man, the number of the 179th Division of the 77th Army could not be burned, and the honor of being a soldier could not be burned......
Changkong and Yang Rong were lying on the warm kang, and the fatigue of killing the enemy was relieved at once, I don't know how the division commander is, I don't know how the brothers of the 179th Division are doing. Let's get some sleep first!
As soon as the two of them were about to fall asleep in a daze, they listened to the quarrel and crying in the courtyard.
