Chapter 652: The Human Head at the City Gate

It was another late night* The county seat was in the middle of the night again, and the night covered everything, as if the chaotic night in the county a few days ago had not happened at all.

There are still a few lights that should be lit in the county, and it is still dark in the depths of the alley.

But to say that there is no change at all, it is not necessarily, but there is an extra electric light on the west gate tower of the county seat, and that electric light was specially pulled by Nanyun Shinobu with an extra few hundred meters of wire.

The Japanese army was naturally rich compared to the weak China, but it was impossible for Nagumo Shinobu to add that lamp to illuminate passers-by.

The lamp was used to shine on the heads, for there was a row of thirty heads hanging on the tower of the gate!

Naturally, the head was a Chinese soldier killed in the night battle a few days ago and a Chinese civilian who had been unjustly killed.

Although Luo Lin naturalized the Japanese army, it was impossible for him to know all the people in Wei Jianxing's regiment, so Nanyun Ren asked his subordinates to cut off all the heads of the Chinese soldiers and civilians who were killed that night and hang them on the West Gate Tower.

Hanging the heads of Chinese soldiers and civilians on the city tower is naturally to deter the courage of the Chinese people to resist the war, and it is natural to demonstrate to the Chinese army when they are specially hung on the west side, because both the New Fourth Army and the National Army are stationed in the west of the county seat.

The two puppet soldiers hid their bodies in the battlements of the city wall, but they were both looking out of the wall.

Outside the city wall is naturally the hill field where there are no homes, if they are usually on night duty, they will turn back and lean on the battlements of the city wall to doze off, but since the head of this person is hung up, all the people on duty at night would rather look at the dark field.

If they face those heads again, they will always feel that the heads that are high above and blind are looking at them with cold eyes, as if there are thirty ghosts of Chinese pointing at them and saying, you traitors who have forgotten your ancestors!

At this time, the puppet army didn't know that while they were looking at the dark field under the light, there were also people watching them not far from the city wall.

It was Wei Jianxing, Huo Xiaoshan, and Yu Minghui lurking there with more than twenty soldiers.

They had just arrived, and the purpose of coming here was naturally for the human head hanging on the wall.

The day after Wei Jianxing fled from the county seat alone and returned to his troops, there was information that the Japanese army had cut off the heads of the brothers who had died that night and hung them on the city gate.

Wei Jianxing was furious at that time, and without saying a word, he drew his gun and was about to lead people to attack the county seat, so as to snatch back the heads of the brothers!

Yu Minghui couldn't stop it and didn't dare to stop it, because the death of nearly 20 officers and soldiers was the result of his proposal to rescue Luo Lin.

Later, it was Huo Xiaoshan who persuaded Wei Jianxing.

Huo Xiaoshan's behavior towards Wei Jianxing was a little strange, although he didn't say it, although he knew that Wei Jianxing was also an iron-blooded soldier who fought devils, but he was already the head of a regiment, and he would no longer be reckless and reckless.

But Wei Jianxing didn't tell him anything in the past two days, neither about the situation of the battle that night, nor how he escaped alone from the county town.

Although Huo Xiaoshan is curious, he is not the kind of person who can't look away, if you don't say it, I won't ask, sooner or later there will be a time to know.

Huo Xiaoshan tightened the armed belt around his waist, took the hook and prepared to set off, he naturally wanted to climb the wall and touch the city tower, and this was also the reason why he persuaded Wei Jianxing that day: I will go up at night and steal the head back from you, it is better than your strong attack, do you still think that your brothers have not died enough?

But just as he got up in the darkness, he suddenly fell down again.

"What's wrong?" Yu Minghui asked on the side.

Yu Minghui also felt guilty because of the fact that he killed more than a dozen brothers at once, but this time he followed.

"Something seems wrong." Huo Xiaoshan muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Wei Jianxing, who was next to Huo Xiaoshan, was also surprised, he didn't notice anything wrong.

Huo Xiaoshan didn't say anything, but just looked at the battlements with his eyes, so Wei Jianxing and Yu Minghui also looked together, but they didn't see anything abnormal, and they could still see the puppet army on duty at night sticking out half of his head in the back of the battlement.

When Wei Yu and the others were about to ask what was wrong, they saw that the puppet army that was originally exposed behind the battlements suddenly disappeared, and they couldn't see it clearly because it was too far away, as if the puppet army had turned around and hid, and it seemed that they had suddenly fallen or fallen down.

"It's not good now, this bright whistle has become a dark whistle!" Yu Minghui admits that he is not a professional soldier, but he can still understand the situation just now.

But when he looked at Huo Xiaoshan and Wei Jianxing again in the faint light, he saw that both of them were looking intently in the direction of the city wall.

After looking at it for a while, he realized that something was wrong, because the human head that had been hung by the rope on the tower of the city gate had moved, and was falling down from the top to the bottom by the rope.

"Someone up there is dismantling someone's head!" Only then did Yu Minghui react.

The way to hang the heads was to first wrap a rope around the fixed point of the eaves tile of the city gate, then tie the human head with one end of the rope and then pull the other end of the rope, so that the human head was pulled up.

After reaching a certain height, you only need to tie the rope end at the bottom of the rope anywhere, and the human head will be hung up.

At this time, the man's head moved, but it meant that someone below had untied the rope and put the man's head down!

Just when Yu Minghui just figured out what was going on, he saw that more than twenty other heads were moving at the same time, which meant that there were at least as many people on the city tower now, because it was a rope tied to a person's head.

Now Yu Minghui can figure it out no matter how stupid he is, the puppet army suddenly disappeared just now, where is he changing places, he was obviously touched by the gang above, and he was directly stabbed to death or strangled to death by others!

"Who is it up there, not ours!" Wei Jianxing was also strange.

Who else but himself will go up and steal back or snatch the heads of the fallen soldiers of the National Army? It is impossible to say that it is ordinary people.

Because it is impossible for the common people to touch the sentry of the puppet army, and it is impossible for them to be so united that more than 20 people will go together to untie the rope that hangs on people's heads.

"The New Fourth Army?" Wei Jianxing and Huo Xiaoshan glanced at each other and whispered at the same time.

In addition to the Japanese puppet army and the national army, the armed forces in this area are the New Fourth Army, and the first two are absolutely impossible, so there is only the New Fourth Army.

"What are they going up there for?" Wei Jianxing was strange, why did the National Army fight with the devils, and the New Fourth Army went up to collect their corpses for them, this thing doesn't make sense.

Although in the last battle against the Japanese army, his own people were very restrained and did not clash with the New Fourth Army, but they definitely did not go to the side of their own side to kill the soldiers but to help grab the friendship of the head!

"Look, there's a head up down there." Huo Xiaoshan said suddenly.

Huo Xiaoshan's perception ability in the dark was unparalleled, and just now he clearly saw that the sentry of the puppet army was lying down directly.

As soon as he saw the posture of the puppet army falling, Huo Xiaoshan knew that the person must have been strangled by a rope or wire from behind, and he was directly dragged down.

"Why are they still hanging heads?" Wei Jianxing was surprised.

Huo Xiaoshan shook his head, he didn't understand either, so the two of them naturally observed with all their attention.

At this time, none of them noticed that after Yu Minghui, who was lying beside them, heard them talk about the New Fourth Army, he secretly gestured to a military commander agent next to him.

So, the military commander spy quietly retreated until he disappeared into complete darkness.

The people on the tower of the city gate moved quickly, and in only two minutes they put down the head that had been put down, and the head that had been hanging up from the bottom up was also hung up.

"Ready to answer, we have to get this situation!" Wei Jianxing saw that the actions of the people above were about to end, and it was estimated that it would be impossible for these people to return to the county seat, so he gave an order.

However, at this time, the unexpected happened.

"Bang" from more than 100 meters on their flank, suddenly I don't know who it is, I don't know which group of people rushed to the city tower and shot it!

"Broken, who fired the shot?! All firepower ready, ready to answer! Wei Jianxing's voice suddenly rose up.

At the same time, the Japanese army's crooked machine gun in the direction of the city tower rang out, and those people on the city gate tower were exposed!
