As night fell, there was no light in the sky, as if it was going to rain heavily, and it was so dark that people couldn't breathe.

The Japanese army entered Xilucheng without encountering any effective resistance, and the Red Army who were originally defending the city heard the wind before the Japanese army launched an attack and fled early.

After the Japanese army entered Xilu City, under the command of Binjiang Xiaochun, they carried out a terrible slaughter.

The grocery store where Takero Kochasawa, a fisherman who had come to Xilu City, had closed late that day, and he was chatting with the guys in the shop over dinner. But there was a sudden burst of fierce gunfire outside the city, followed by the rumbling of cannonballs.

Xilu City was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.

Chalk Takero and the guys in the shop didn't know what was going on at the time, although it had been rumored that the Japanese army was going to attack the city recently, but no one expected it to come so quickly, so they barely took any precautions, and when a shell hit the roof, everyone understood that the government army began to attack the city. Takero Kochaezawa only felt that his eyes were dizzy, and his head fainted with a groggy head.

He lay on the ground, and he didn't know how long it took to be awakened by a shout, and he used all his strength to push away the dead man who was pressing on his chalky body, and then slowly crawled out of the pile of dead people.

By this time, it was almost dawn, and he could already faintly see the shattered houses outside, and the air was filled with a thick smell of fire chalk, which almost suffocated him. He stepped on the dead man, swaying from side to side with one foot high and one foot low, staggering a few steps, holding down the wall so that he did not fall. He had already woken up, and saw many figures searching this way from afar, and he knew that he had to leave in the night, otherwise he would not be able to leave when the day dawned.

He moved the chalk bones of his chalk body, but fortunately he was not injured, and he was very familiar with the environment of Xilu City, so he avoided the eyes of the Japanese army very smoothly, and then ran wildly in the direction of home

"Stop!" He didn't know how far he had run, when suddenly a group of gunmen jumped out of the middle of the road and surrounded him tightly.

He was panting, he couldn't support it, and when he heard the shouting, he had to retract his steps softly, and slowly raised his hand, thinking that this was the end.

"Takero Kochasawa? How are you? ”

When he heard this voice, his eyes widened and he saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was called Koga Miyoshi, who had also come from his own fishing village before, and later heard that he had joined the "Red Army".

"The Chalk Army is here!" When Takero Kochasawa saw him, he seemed to see hope, and after saying this, he was in a hurry, and finally he couldn't support it and fainted, and then he was taken back to the mountain by Koga Miyoshi and others, and naturally became a chalk in this red army.

But since then, he has never returned to inquire about his children, because Suzuki Masahiro has made a rule: anyone who joins the Red Army must henceforth cut off all contact with his family.

Masahiro Suzuki was actually forced to set this rule at the beginning, first, because he was worried that the family members would leak the news, and secondly, he was afraid that those people in the damn government would use their families to blackmail them.

"Takero Kochasawa, give me the gun."

Masahiro Suzuki finally spoke, and Takero Kochaezawa came back to his senses from his memory, but he suddenly went crazy, looked up to the sky and howled a few times, tears rolled out of his eyes like a flood that burst the embankment, and he wanted to tear the chalker who killed his wife in front of him to pieces, in order to comfort his wife's spirit in the sky.

Masahiro Suzuki grabbed the musket and lifted it up with all his might.

Kobayashi Naozao, a member of the government army who was captured by the "Red Army", had no strength to fight against the chalk, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to clarify the facts, so he had to wait for death to come at the moment. But at that moment, he suddenly wished that the other party would shoot him quickly, so that he would leave this world forever, and never live in this filthy and murderous land again. …,

But the gun didn't go off until he felt his soul slowly drift away from his chalk, and his feet went limp, and the whole person collapsed.

"Koga Sanji, take someone down to me and take a good look, you must not let him die." Masahiro Suzuki's eyes were full of resolute expressions, and Miyoshi Koga, who was standing beside him, slammed his hand hard and turned away angrily!

Takero Kochaezawa stood in the snow as if his soul had been hollowed out, his eyes empty.

Masahiro Suzuki looked at the musket in his hand, then patted Takero Kochaezawa on the shoulder and said, "I'll keep it for you for the time being." ”

Takero Kochaezawa heard the words clearly, but did not react until Masahiro Suzuki left, tears welling up in his eyes again.

Masahiro Suzuki is not a reckless man, but a very scheming person. He didn't kill Kobayashi Shozo immediately, of course he had his own plans.

When he returned to his room, he was looking at a book when the door slammed open. He knew who it was, so he didn't look up and asked, "Is he awake?" ”

Standing in front of him was Koga Miyoshi, Suzuki Masahiro knew this person too well, and he had expected that this guy would definitely come to Chaemon, although he didn't contradict him in front of everyone before, but he was already angry as a result of such a punishment. At this time, Koga Sanji opened his voice and shouted, "Collared chalk sleeves, I'm not convinced." ”

Masahiro Suzuki smiled slightly, nodded, and then slowly put down the book, then pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Sit down." ”

Koga Miyoshi crossed his eyes, and even the action of sitting down was full of anger.

Masahiro Suzuki won't bother with him, he knows the guy in front of him too well, although he has a fiery temperament, he has an upright personality and never beats around the bush. He smiled, then stared into his eyes and said, "Sanji, I told you to take a good look at this prisoner of the chalk army, why did you come here?" How is he doing now? ”

"Not dead yet." Koga Miyoshi's tone when he spoke was still like he had taken chalk medicine.

"Oh, that's ......" Mashiro Suzuki sighed and put down the book, shaking his head, "I'll keep him for the time being, naturally it will be useful in the future, and you will understand my hard work." ”

"Chalk sleeves, did you see Takero Kochasawa? His wives were all the officials of the government and the chalk government, how could he not take revenge with his own hands? Koga Miyoshi exclaimed with a flushed face, "What would you do if it were you, the collar sleeve?" ”

Masahiro Suzuki nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Of course, if this captive is really the murderer who killed Takero Kozazawa's wife, we will definitely not spare him." But, you find out no, why didn't he run? You also say that he is a petty officer, but why is it so messy now? Isn't there any doubt about this? I will leave him for his own purpose for the time being, if he is really a spy of the Cephalic Army, we also have one more hostage in our hands, and we can negotiate the conditions with the Celious Army; If he's not a spy, or if there's something missing from it......"

Koga Miyoshi was stunned by these words for a long time, but immediately gritted his teeth and said: "There are no good people among them, and the whole of Japan is almost forced by them to have no way out......"

Suzuki Masahiro smiled slightly when he heard this, he didn't want to continue arguing with Koga Sanyoshi, knowing that it would be fruitless to continue, so he sighed and got up and said: "Okay, go back and watch this captive, remember my words, he is still useful to us, without me to speak, we must not let him die." ”

Koga Miyoshi was speechless at this time, so he had to stare at his eyes and rush out like the wind.

Masahiro Suzuki fell into endless contemplation.

Since the government army invaded Xilu Castle, he was also forced to pull this team to move to Mount Kirishima, but the livelihood of the Red Army has become a big problem...... The chalk army sealed the main road, especially for his subordinates, and the methods used were extremely cruel, as long as they fell into their hands, no one would survive. …,

But he still had to send people to the city every once in a while to find food, otherwise the mountains would be in danger of running out of food at any moment, and they would definitely not survive the winter. But four of his brothers have died at the hands of the government and the chalk army, and the only one who escaped is Koga

The heavy snow covers the mountains, the weather is cold, and the food problem is like a sharp sword stuck in his heart, stabbing his chalk at any time, making him have a headache, but he is extremely helpless......

At this time, Kobayashi Naozo was lying in a room with only one small window closed on all sides, and a faint light filtered in through the chalk of the window, and fell right on the face of Koga Miyoshi next to the bed.

The fire in front of Koga Miyoshi was raging, the flames were jumping and dancing like a snake in front of his eyes, and his whole face was tense like clockwork, as if he would collapse if he loosened the chalk a little!

He stared at Kobayashi Shangzo's face for a long time, and the flames in his eyes gradually merged with the flames in the brazier, and they burst out in an instant.

"Captain Koga, can't ......" As soon as he got up, the two men standing behind him hurriedly hugged his chalk body tightly, and he struggled a few times before he stopped moving.

"Baga, I'm going to cut off your head sooner or later!." He yelled at Kobayashi Shangzao, who was still unconscious on the bed, and then rushed out of the door, but he almost collided with the person standing at the door, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Xiao Chalk Takero, and immediately roared a few times.

Takero Kozawa stood awkwardly, but did not speak.

Koga Miyoshi suddenly had an idea, then glanced around, pulled Takero Kochasawa aside, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to avenge your wife with your own hands?" ”

Takero Kochaezawa nodded fiercely, he almost didn't break into the house just now, but when he thought of Suzuki Masahiro's command, he was timid again, and when he was hesitating, he bumped into Koga Miyoshi.

Koga Miyoshi frowned a few times, muttered in his ear for a while, and then asked, "Do you have the guts?" ”

Takero Kochaezawa was still in a daze when he heard his words, Koga Miyoshi was in a hurry, kicked him violently, sneered a few times and said: "Even if I didn't say it, if my wife dies, I will definitely avenge her!" ”。 ）
