Okada saw that the stockade had been set on fire, and at the same time the counterattack in the stockade was getting stronger and stronger, and at this time it was getting late, Yoshino urged him to evacuate as soon as possible, and immediately ordered the grenadiers to bombard the stockade, and then ordered the devils on the wall of the walled area to withdraw from the merchant fort, and then, those imperial troops who had been looking forward to retreating for a long time also left in a hurry.

Liu Tianshu commanded everyone to attack the wall of the village in order to force the devils to give up arson, and after discovering that the devils' grenadiers began to bombard the stockade indiscriminately, he had to order everyone to pay attention to concealment.

When the devil's grenadier stopped bombarding, he found that the devil and the Imperial Alliance had taken advantage of the bombardment, broke away from his people, and hurriedly retreated down the mountain along the road in front of the wall.

Seeing the devil leave, Liu Tianshu wanted to lead people to pursue, but saw that the fire in the village had begun to grow, so he had to take everyone to extinguish the fire first.

The fighters of the guard squad and the men of the merchant fort quickly climbed to the roof, demolished several houses, and cut off the spread of the fire into the walled area before concentrating on extinguishing the fire.

This fight did not end until an hour later, and except for the soldiers who served as guards, all the people involved in the firefighting were so tired that they lay on the ground at once.

The people who fled into the mountains and forests, after seeing the devils retreating, slowly came back from the mountains and forests, and saw that several houses in the village were burned to ruins, and relatives killed by the devils were found in the village from time to time, and suddenly the villagers resounded with grief and crying.

The old man's family also returned to the village when it was dark.

Liu Tianshu was worried about Shang He's injury, and after arranging a guard in front of the village, he took Shi Qiang and Shang Wei to the compound of the old man Shang.

After being injured, the merchant was originally temporarily placed in the mountain forest behind the stockade, and after learning that the devil had withdrawn his troops, the two merchant forts who were in charge of taking care of him. According to the instructions of the old man Shang, he was carried back to the merchant compound.

Seeing Liu Tianshu come in, the merchant who was wrapped like a dumpling all over his body squeezed out a trace of joy on his face.

Seeing the merchant struggling to get up, Liu Tianshu hurriedly held it down, "Don't move." Home and recuperation. With that, he looked back at the old man who was packing up the medicine box.

"Doctor, how is Jiahe's injury? Is the situation serious? Liu Tianshu asked nervously.

"Mr. Liu, I have carefully looked at his injuries, the wound on his shoulder is relatively serious, the bullet hit the bone, I can't take out the bullet, I'm afraid I have to find someone else. Everything else is just skin trauma. It doesn't matter. As long as you rest for a while, you will be fine. The old doctor whispered.

"The bullet hasn't been taken out yet?" Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after saying a word of thanks to the doctor, he turned to Shi Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, immediately arrange for someone to send the family to Houshan Village." Dr. Jean Tian immediately scheduled surgery. ”

Bullets remain in the body, causing wounds that do not heal easily and are highly susceptible to infection.

Once the wound becomes infected, it can be fatal.

Just when Shi Qiang arranged for someone to send the merchant and go to Houshan Village. Business came in a hurry.

"Captain Liu, my father asked me to ask you to come over and talk about it." Business came to Liu Tianshu. Said very politely.

After Liu Tianshu entered the merchant compound, he went straight to visit the merchant and had not yet visited the old man.

"Okay, I'll go over here." After Liu Tianshu comforted the merchant and said a few words, he followed the merchant to the old man's yard.

Mr. Shang, who was sitting in the living room, saw Liu Tianshu come in. He actually stood up, looked at him with slightly wet eyes, and said, "Mr. Liu is here, quickly show Mr. Liu tea." ”

"I'm bothering the old gentleman." Liu Tianshu nodded with a smile, sat down on the chair that the business moved lightly, and took the tea from a servant girl with a calm expression.

"Mr. Liu. Thanks to the help of you and the guerrillas, the whole fort survived. This life-saving grace is unforgettable in the whole castle. Mr. Shang said excitedly.

"The old gentleman is serious, our guerrillas are the ranks of the common people, besides, this time the merchant fort was attacked by devils, as Chinese soldiers, we failed to protect the villagers, and we feel ashamed." Although the Huangshi Village guerrillas can only be regarded as a small local armed force, in Liu Tianshu's heart, he still regards himself as a Chinese soldier to demand.

"Mr. Liu doesn't have to blame himself, speaking of which, he still failed to take Mr. Liu's advice in time, underestimated the ferocity of the devil, and brought such a big loss to the whole castle. I'm a family member with a guilty conscience. Speaking of this, Mr. Shang was in tears.

If he had adopted the advice of the merchant and organized the evacuation of the villagers in the whole fort at the first time, the devil would not have suffered such a big loss in the merchant fort this time.

Although the specific losses have not yet been counted, Mr. Shang knows that there are less than thirty people left in the fort protection force of the merchant fort, and the rest are all killed in the fierce battle with the devils, even the captain of the fort, Shang Wu, who was also killed by the devils' shells.

Thinking of the Shang Wu who had been loyal to the safety of the merchant fort for twenty years, Mr. Shang was even more sad.

"The incident has happened, Mr. Shang should not blame himself, no one thought that the devil would be so vicious to the merchant fort. Besides, the devil gathered at least five hundred people this time, and the strength of the fort alone could not resist at all, but fortunately, the loss in the fort was not too great. Mr. Shang, the devil will not stop if he fails to achieve his goal this time, I am afraid that the devil will attack the merchant fort again. Liu Tianshu said worriedly.

After Mr. Shang returned home, he has been thinking about this matter in his mind, judging from the devil's attack on Shangbao this time, killing people when he sees them, and grabbing things when he sees them, the devils have no humanity at all.

This time, under the desperate rescue of the guerrillas, although the merchant fort escaped, if the devil came again in the future, it is not known whether it would be as lucky as this time.

"Mr. Liu, I know that you are a powerful person, and the old man is very old, and after this incident, the old man decided to hand over the affairs of the castle to the dog business to take care of. Last time, the merchant fort agreed to cooperate with your guerrillas, and I think that in the future, we will listen to you in the fort, what do you think? Old Man Shang sat on the chair, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Liu Tianshu and said.

"Mr. Shang, thank you for your trust in our guerrillas, it is the duty of our guerrillas to protect the people from the devils, in this way, how to deal with the devils' sweep in Shangbao, I will consider it carefully, and I will report to the organization before deciding on other matters." Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

Carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda work in Shangbao, and even including Shangbao in the Qingyan anti-Japanese base area, these things need to be decided by Tang Qing, secretary of the district party committee, Liu Tianshu, as the captain of the guerrillas, and he is not yet a party member, so he cannot make any commitments at all.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news, Captain Liu, through today's incident, I can understand that little devils have no humanity at all, they are robbers, murderous demons, and we have no other way out than to fight them." Old Man Shang sighed.

After the two talked in the living room for a while, the business sent Liu Tianshu out.

Geng Tianlong and Hao Mengxuan saw Liu Tianshu come out, and said in a gloomy voice: "Captain, after today's battle, there are less than thirty people left in the fort protection team of Shangbao, and after the devil entered the fort, he brutally killed fifty-two ordinary people, of which thirty-one were stabbed to death by the devil with a bayonet, alas, it is really miserable." ”

"The captain, especially the women who fell into the hands of the devil, were all subjected to the **** of the devil. This revenge, we have to repay it from the devil no matter what. Speaking of this, Geng Tianlong's eyes erupted with hatred.

"Tianlong, Mengxuan, don't drive away the little devils, I don't know how many Chinese will be ruined by them, we will definitely repay this revenge, we will definitely revenge!" Liu Tianshu didn't have to think about it, he knew the tragic results of those women who fell into the hands of devils, thinking that so many sisters had been insulted, and his hatred for devils in his heart was even deeper.

After the three of them walked out, they met the people in the fort on the way, and saw that they all showed respect and gratitude on their faces. At the same time, there is a kind of strength and unyielding in his eyes.

Seeing that the people of Shangbao were cleaning up the streets and repairing their homes under the organization of Shang Bao and others, and at the same time dealing with the aftermath of the victims, Liu Tianshu called Shang Wei over, and after a few words of careful advice, he said hello to Shang Bao, and took Geng Tianlong and Hao Mengxuan to leave Shang Bao and rush to Houshan Village.

When the devils attacked Shangbao, they also concentrated heavy troops to attack Huangshi Village.

I've been busy fighting here, and I don't know what the situation is over there.

Liu Tianshu rushed to Huangshi Village with the two of them, and the scene in front of him made him stunned for a moment.

Is this still the beautiful and quiet village of Yellowstone? Liu Tianshu simply couldn't believe his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the old locust at the entrance of the village was still tall and burly in the moonlight, he really thought that he had gone to the wrong place.

In front of him was a mountain village in ruins burned by fire, full of ruins, unburned sticks, black charcoal in the moonlight, and the remains of several charred dogs could be seen, and the whole village was not the slightest bit alive.

Liu Tianshu only felt a heat on his face, a string of hot tears quietly fell, he took Geng Tianlong and Hao Mengxuan, and silently walked in the village that had become ruins, but the excitement of the village in the past floated in his mind.

When running through the small courtyard of Lin Hua's house, Geng Tianlong ran over in a few steps, and saw that the courtyard was full of chaos, except for a few unburned pieces of wood that were still smoking, and the entire courtyard was empty.

After walking around the village, the three found that there was not a single figure in the entire village, and there was not a single body of the victims.

When he arrived at the ruined temple, Liu Tianshu saw that the devil didn't even let go of the ruined temple, the entire building was blown into a pile of rocks, and the room where he lived yesterday had been buried by the collapsed stones.

Liu Tianshu looked at all this, found a stone and sat down, staring at the scene in front of him with his eyes, like a statue.

Geng Tianlong and Hao Mengxuan saw that the captain was in great grief, and the two quietly stepped aside, carefully paying attention to the movements around them. (To be continued.) )
