Chapter 3, Section 26, Straw Shoe Ridge

Twenty-six: Straw Shoe Ridge

Although the devil killed Lao Wang's wife, he gasped for breath in shock, this junior officer with a bar and a flower was arrogant when he first stepped into the courtyard.

They occupied Nanking and burned and plundered with impunity, and he regarded all these evils as the pride of the occupying army. It is the great feat of their imperial army.

He wanted to rape this woman, and in the past few days he had killed several men and raped women who were grief-stricken. raped the girl who fainted for fear of fainting. He was very proud.

The women were in a coma from excessive grief, and they barely resisted. He raped them like a corpse. There is no pleasure, only satisfaction in the heart.

The woman he met today was different, she was wearing a black jacket and a blue tight cotton jacket, which showed off her long figure and fair skin.

She did not panic because her loved one had been killed, her left hand clenched into a fist and her right hand behind her back. The two children behind her looked at their mom as if they were worried about her.

She looked at the two devils with hatred and contempt, they were no match for her. If he hadn't had children, he would have been killed long ago. She didn't want them to come over for the sake of the children.

She watched the two devils smile lewdly and approached her very proudly. She motioned to them, as if to say don't come, come here and ask for your life.

The devil officer didn't notice the angry flames that erupted from her eyes, he looked down on these women who had died in the country, she was his trophy, his plaything, and he would kill after playing.

He watched her shiny and oily hair knotted at the back, and the snow-white plump neck under the knot, which felt very enjoyable. He motioned for the soldier to go up.

He didn't expect her to be so powerful again, if it wasn't for the fact that she was trampled by the steel helmet that fell to the ground, he would have died a long time ago. He looked at the woman's corpse in horror, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the scissors that were stabbed in his back, and looked at the blood dripping from the scissors with pain, and he suddenly scolded and kicked her corpse hard.

The devil didn't let go of his hatred, he picked up his gun and shouted and stabbed at the two crying children.

The cruel devil shouted, one bayonet, two bayonets, three bayonets, he stabbed madly, he stabbed six bayonets before he gasped and stopped.

The devil didn't release his hatred, he shouted hysterically and spat fiercely at the corpse. Indignantly, he dragged the corpse of his companion and walked away crookedly.

Lao Wang simply buried his family in the yard and returned to the bamboo raft. He said to his eldest cousin: "Nanjing can't live, take advantage of the dark night to go to Jiangbei." Let's go. ”

The eldest cousin said, "I can't go with you, my mother is still at home, I can't go." ”

He said, "Yes, you can't lose your mother at any time." Let's go, I'll send you back. ”

Lao Wang sent him to Shangyuanmen by boat, and when they saw that there were devils there, Lao Wang did not dare to let him go ashore. He rowed forward again to the vicinity of Wumadu, and there were no devils on the shore, and they parted.

The eldest cousin went ashore and walked for a while, and it was dawn, and I didn't dare to go forward anymore, so I hid in the forest and ate the steamed buns that Lao Wang gave him, and after eating the steamed buns, he slept again.

He was awakened in his sleep by the sound of gunshots, and he found him in the encirclement of devils.

The eldest cousin lay on the ground and looked out from the forest, the devils lined up in a long line, and the snakes placed guns from the east, west, and south directions, escorting the crowd towards the river.

Not far behind him was a man with a gun. Someone tried to blend into the woods and was shot dead by the devils. He had to come out of the woods and blend in with the crowd.

In the crowd were soldiers who had laid down their arms, exhausted and looking hungry. Their hands were tied, and many of them were fleeing.

As he walked, he thought that he couldn't be caught by the devil, let alone killed by the devil. He's going to find a way to slip out. He looked at the prisoners of war around him, and he wanted to help them escape,

He said to the captive: "Do you know what happened in Shimonoseki, the devils are slaughtering. Thousands of people were killed by devils in Shimonoseki. ”

Everyone was astonished, and one of the captives asked, "Is what you said reliable?" The devil is so inhumane. Apparently he was skeptical.

Some of the captives didn't believe it. He said: "Devils are also armies. There will be no innocent killing. We are captives, protected by international law.

"The devil caught us because he wanted us to be coolies. Although I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, and I am bitter and tired, but there is no danger to my life. Rest assured. ”

Another captive said: "Don't be too optimistic, what happened in Shimonoseki can't be said to be impossible, only that we don't know." We have been captured until now without a sip of water and want to starve us to death. ”

A man said: "What this brother said must not be believed, I have a hunch that devils can poison him." What will happen today, I see, it's hard to say. Let's think more about how to escape. ”

The captive looked around and said, "The devils are tightly surrounded, we have nowhere to escape, and if the devils really poison us, we have only one way to die."

The people were driven to Straw Shoes Ridge, and no one was ready to flee, let alone resist. Everyone thinks that with so many people, devils will not poison them. What the devil is going to do is waiting.

The eldest cousin had come here to catch fish, and he knew the terrain here, so he figured out how to escape. He saw the devil set up a few machine guns on a high post, and he felt that something was wrong.

He said: "The devil has set up a machine gun, everyone be vigilant." ”

People look around and see that something is not going well. The crowd panicked. The man said sadly, "Oh my God, today next year will be my death day." I've become a ghost on the muzzle of a devil.

A captive saw that something was wrong, that he might be an officer, and that he wanted to stop the devil from killing the captives and the people, and he strode to the devil to negotiate, and the devil officer waited for him to finish speaking, and slashed him with a knife.

The crowd panicked all of a sudden, and they had a premonition that bad luck was coming, and they all retreated. The captives tied up next to the eldest cousin realized that death was coming. They untie each other's ropes.

The eldest cousin also helped them untie the rope, but it was too late. Before a dozen people were untied, the devil's machine gun rang out. People fall over and over again.

People see that their last hour has come. One of the captives shouted: "Long live the Republic of China!" Soldiers! In order to survive - to grab the gun, we fought with the devil. ”

The captives who had already untied the rope shouted angrily and pounced on the devil, they wanted to grab the devil's gun, and they wanted to fight the devil desperately. Only by working hard can there be a way out.

The captives in front fell, and the captives in the back bravely pounced on them...... A captive picked up a dead man to block the devil's bullets, and he desperately rushed towards the devil.

He rushed to the devil's machine gun and pounced on the devil, he had already snatched the machine gun in his hand, and several devils stabbed him at the same time with bayonets.

Several of the captives who rushed up after him were also killed. The awakening and desperateness of the captives, everything was too late. They held their chests tall and shouted slogans until the last moment of their lives.

Many people ran to the river, some knew the water, and they wanted to escape from the river. Some people would rather drown than be beaten to death by devils.

The devils have already set up machine guns on the river embankment. The people running in front fell in the sound of machine guns, and those running behind were killed by machine guns and fell on top of them.

Wave after wave of mournful river water pounded layer after layer of corpses, and the green river water was stained red with the blood of the dead. The red river reflects the red and gray sky.

The eldest cousin was still untying the captives. When the captives saw that the machine gun had not been taken down, they did not want him to untie the rope, and shouted slogans to meet the devil's bullet with their chests held up.

A captive shouted: "Mom and Dad, I didn't embarrass you, child, I fought to the end!" Victory is ours. ”

Another captive shouted: "Do you hear me, wife, take care of the children, take care of the elderly, and I bless you in heaven." ”

The captive, who had already untied the rope, pulled the eldest cousin and said, "Take us away quickly, we believe you have a way." The eldest cousin looked at the fallen crowd, and if he didn't run away, he was afraid that it would be too late.
