Chapter 8: Escape
He Jiatang, Sun Yuzhu and others yesterday purchased a large amount of arms and hurried to Xiyuan Mountain overnight. The terrain here is dangerous, the mountain roads on both sides are steep, and the middle one is the only way from Jinan City to Qingdao. During the period of the Republic of China, although arms were in short supply, in troubled times, armed mountains were lined up in various places, and the government could not ban arms smuggling.
From dawn until the sun turned west, there was no car escorting Li Ling, and the people waiting were anxious. A little brother next to him muttered on the side, "Isn't it that the car has gone off the other road, let's wait for a while." ”
He Jiatang, who had always been steady, couldn't hold his breath at this time, glared at the little brother, and looked at him all over his body.
Sun Yuzhu was also impatient with Hanyang in his arms, he was really afraid that the brother would be right, if that was the case, his group of people would work in vain, and Li Ling would return to the West. In the helplessness of everyone, three cars rumbled from a distance.
Everyone swept away the decadence, looked at each other, and sure enough, they saw Li Ling in the middle of the car. Everyone's mood suddenly became nervous, although they are all ruffians and hooligans, but they have also been bullying those unarmed neighbors, and now they are facing a regular army with loaded guns, although they also have spears in their hands, but there are not really a few people who have used them, that is, this morning, only a brother named Ge Changxing learned how to shoot guns.
Ge Changxing went to Kanto with his father a few years ago, and he was also born in Orion, and he only returned to Jinan in the past two years. He Jiatang took a fancy to his marksmanship and specially informed him to teach everyone this morning. Although Ge Changxing used to fiddle with earthen guns, and now he uses Hanyang, the principle is the same, and the brothers also let him raise his eyebrows in front of everyone and show his majesty. Seeing the car coming today, I was impatient and nervous, grabbed the gun and didn't aim at it, pulled the wrench, and with a "bang", a shot was shot, and I didn't know where it hit.
The three cars suddenly stopped when they heard the sound, and the soldiers in the cars put out their guns and were on full alert.
Seeing this, He Jiatang kicked Na Ge Changxing aside and shouted: "One waste, the distance of two or three hundred meters is not long." Brothers, we've leaked our whereabouts, rush with me, and greet grenades closer. After saying that, he stepped forward, Sun Yuzhu also struggled to follow, and although some of the other brothers were timid, they knew that the form was tense at this time, so they no longer hesitated and chased after them.
When everyone was almost more than 100 meters apart, the other party had already opened fire, and everyone had to pick up their prostrate advances, and one of the brothers rushed to the front, knowing that Li Ling was in the middle of the car, grabbed the grenade, and went back to the car.
There was a loud "boom", the grenade exploded next to the car, and a wave of air blew up, Li Ling was shocked in the car, and his eardrums buzzed. However, there were several screams outside the car, and it seemed that some soldiers had been injured.
Seeing that the grenade had a miraculous effect, the gangsters threw their guns to the ground, grabbed the grenades and threw them, and for a while the sound of roaring explosions came and went. Sun Yuzhu was the first to see the situation, and shouted loudly: "Are you saving people or killing people, Brother Ling is in the car in the middle, and you are not allowed to greet there." "Everyone was killing each other, and there was the sound of gunfire, but no one heard it, and after a while, everyone threw the grenades on their bodies. You must know that the purchasing power of the five thousand oceans for arms is quite high, except for a few made in Hanyang, almost all of the rest are bought into grenades.
Ju Ergui, deputy head of the regiment, escorted the prisoners to Qingdao today, and he was sitting in the car thinking about how the Japanese could talk and how they could get involved, when he suddenly heard gunshots, thinking that he had encountered bandits, and ordered to set up a position to prepare for battle. On the one hand, he was ready to send someone to talk about catties. Who knew that the other party didn't say a word and it was a shooting and a grenade, as if he didn't want money to bomb indiscriminately, his three cars here were scrapped in an instant, and there were more than a dozen casualties, he scolded in his mouth: "Bastard, don't play cards according to the routine." ”
At the beginning, Li Ling knew that the brothers were coming to the rescue, although he was worried about everyone's safety, but he also saw the dawn of his life, and the haze in his heart was swept away. By the time he finally stopped, he was already scarred.
When everyone exhausted the grenade, picked up the gun and was about to shoot, they saw a white cloth in the car shaking, knowing that the other party was afraid of surrendering, He Jiatang hurriedly stopped everyone.
Ju Ergui poked his head out of the car and shouted: "Heroes, please stop, we have passed through your place, and we have never visited, so we are offended." Please make a way out, and don't fight again, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”
He Jiatang saw that the other party was talking about the conditions, and mistakenly thought that his side was armed with bandits, so he felt funny, and said loudly: "Hand over the prisoners inside, I can spare your lives, otherwise there will be no mercy." "I guess I didn't use all my strength just now, just joking.
Ju Ergui secretly complained in his heart, the other party's strong firepower is not something that his people can resist at all, if there is another round of bombing, I am afraid that his life will have to be lost. But if Li Linglai is handed over, the impact on his career will be unimaginable, and he is likely to be removed from his post and investigated. I also heard the other party's strong tone, that is, he was coming at Li Ling, not an ordinary bandit who blocked the way, what should I do? He made a judgment on this issue without thinking deeply, it was important to save his life, and the rest were saying that he would agree to release him immediately.
Although he was tied up by five flowers, Li Lingjiao could still act, walked to He Jiatang's side, and saw everyone, his mood was different.
Sun Yuzhu hurriedly ordered someone to loosen his ties, and when he saw that his face was scorched black and his body was in tatters, he was furious: "Brother Ling, which bastard did this to you, Lao Tzu bombarded him." Li Ling smiled bitterly and didn't explain.
Since everyone received Li Ling, they were overjoyed, and they did not stay here, and immediately hid in the mountains. And Ju Ergui was so angry that he immediately sent someone to the nearby security headquarters for help.
Xiyuan Mountain is also a hundred miles away, and a group of more than a dozen people found a valley to sit down and rest, talking about today's battle with great interest. He Jiatang was really dissatisfied with the performance of the brothers today, and seriously criticized Ge Changxing, who fired the first shot, and the brother who threw grenades, but the result of the battle was really exciting, rescued Li Ling, and caused more than a dozen casualties on the other side, and there was only one lightly wounded person on his side, and he was tripped and injured by a stone when he retreated.
For the rest of Li Ling's life after the catastrophe, he was full of emotion, and he didn't thank everyone, and when the two brothers went out to buy wine and came back, they drank happily, and every time they drank wine, they would do it. The high-pressure and tense environment was relieved, and everyone slacked off, and they were all drunk.
When the wine was hot, the three of them couldn't help but talk about the way forward, and He Jiatang strongly advocated taking these dozen or so people as the foundation, developing power, and robbing homes. He tasted the sweetness of the Shen family in Jinan City, and wanted to take the green forest route. He told the two: "Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast was also born with a beard, and later he even pulled up hundreds of thousands of troops to come out, and his power spread all over the three northeastern provinces. ”
Sun Yuzhu is a person who is at ease with what he encounters, and he does not say too much. He Jiatang looked at Li Ling with a pair of tiger eyes, he knew that in front of his brothers, Li Ling's status and influence were slightly higher than his own, if he made a statement, things could be settled.
This incident also made Li Ling hesitate, now there is such a big commotion, Jinan City can't go back, the brothers still have to eat, dress and go to the kiln, where did they get so much money, the more than 1,000 oceans and converted tobacco and soil obtained in the Shen family last time bought guns and ammunition for nearly 5,000 oceans, so they fought a beautiful war without much effort. Thinking of guns and ammunition, Li Ling's eyes lit up, he used to practice Dahong Boxing under the teaching of his master Ren Chunshan, but even if he was full of kung fu, it was difficult to resist foreign guns and cannons, and now the warlords are fighting, and it may be a good choice to engage in arms.
Seeing Li Ling's hesitation, He Jiatang thought that he couldn't be ruthless, so he persuaded: "We can specially choose to fight for the rich and unkind landlords, and those evil businesses, and play the banner of doing the right thing for heaven, on the one hand, to gather people, and on the other hand, to uphold justice for the poor, eliminate violence and peace, and rob the rich to help the poor." ”
Li Ling's heart suddenly moved, he has been complaining about the black and white reversal of this world for the past two days, since this is the case, why not do a few votes vigorously, since the Beiyang government does not give the people an explanation, I will give them an explanation. At the moment, he said: "What Brother Jiatang said is extremely true, but we should set up rules and specifically find those profiteers who oppress the poor, and we must not disturb those good people." In addition, this kind of knife head licks blood, there is no way back, and you will die at any time, explain to the big guy, whoever wants to stay, and if you don't want to, you won't be reluctant. ”
When He Jiatang saw him agree, he was overjoyed and said yes again and again.
Just when everyone was in full swing, Li Ling's eyes suddenly dizzy, as if something bright was shaking in the distance, Li Ling was already sensitive, and listened carefully under vigilance and concentration, and indeed found that there seemed to be people gathered outside the valley. His face changed, and he whispered eagerly: "Brothers, we may be surrounded, ready to fight." ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly picked up the firearm and bored it, looked around, but there was no movement, and then they all looked at Li Ling suspiciously.
Li Ling was even more vigilant in his heart, and regardless of everyone's inquiries, he said, "Everyone disperse and retreat to the north." Although the crowd was confused, they still obeyed the order, and when everyone walked nearly 50 meters, a gunshot rang out, and a brother fell straight down and died directly in the head.
The crowd sought cover and prepared to return fire. Two more shots rang out, and two more brothers fell in a pool of blood, each shot hitting the vital point, which shows how good the opponent's marksmanship was. Gunshots rang out one after another, and five brothers had been killed or injured unknown, and until now everyone had not seen each other's figures, and the concealment method was absolutely good.
Li Ling was in a hurry, if he went on like this, let alone fight back, even if he didn't move, he would be killed by the other party sooner or later, and he was ruthless, and said: "The other party doesn't seem to have many people, even so, we are not opponents, everyone scattered and fled in the east, west, and north, remember that no matter who escapes, the murderer must be found out in the future to avenge the brothers, and start acting now." "Li Ling chose to break through from the west.
"Bang bang bang", a few more gunshots came to mind, and it was estimated that there were a few more lives, Li Ling grinned hatefully, and there was no way, so he had to fight all his strength to escape. I secretly wrote down this blood feud in my heart.
