Chapter 17: Blood-spattered Xunyang City (2)

Xiao Xiong led his Northern Jiangxi Anti-Japanese Einsatzgruppen with a team of nearly 300 people, and in early December 1939, they sneaked back to Jiujiang in batches and returned to their respective lurking stations, ready to accept new combat missions.

Compared with when they went to Ruichang, although the casualties of the team were larger, the fighting spirit of the team members was even higher, and everyone was burning with a flame of revenge in their hearts, eager to fight immediately, to kill the devils, and to avenge the sacrificed brothers. Moreover, through this battle, everyone's combat skills have been greatly improved. In addition, during this period of time, Commander Xiao, whom they admired very much, told them many unheard of stories from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, especially the major events that had occurred at home and abroad in detail, which made them increase their knowledge, improve and broaden their horizons, so that when they started fighting, their hearts were more open and clear.

In the evening, Xiao Xiong returned to his home in Miaozhipu. He arranged everyone properly, pulled Bai Yu into his room. He hugged his beloved wife tightly, kissed her lips hard, sucked desperately, sniffed deeply at the charming fragrance emanating from her body, and closed his eyes to enjoy this warm moment. Yes, after another test of blood and fire, Xiao Xiong, who came back alive, knew that there was nothing he needed more than holding his beloved wife. After a while, Bai Yu gently pushed Xiao Xiong away and said in his ear:

"Well, don't be in a hurry, I can't run away from you, Daddy, they're still waiting for you in the hall."

Xiao Xiong reluctantly let go of Bai Yu, he held his beloved wife's face and pressed his face tightly against hers. Somehow, tears couldn't help but fill his eyes and slid down Bai Yu's face. He kissed Bai Yu's red lips again and bit it gently. Bai Yu put his lover's head around his chest, and he leaned tightly between her soft and elastic twin peaks, listening to the rapid and powerful heartbeat, he quietly felt the serenity, serenity, and happiness.

When they arrived at the hall, they hurried to salute the two old men. Xiao Xiong told them the details of the battle, and briefly explained the new battle plan of the troops. The two old men listened to his story, and their hearts were very excited. Daddy Bai said to Xiao Xiong's father:

"In-laws, our children are all heroes, they are all Yue Wumu. Xiao Xiong, take some money from the housekeeper later, and send it to the martyr's house in Jiujiang tomorrow. We can't go to the battlefield with guns to kill devils, but we can do our best and do what we should. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. ”

Xiao Xiong hurriedly said:

"No need, during this time, the second elder has already spent a lot, and the Theater Commander's Department has already sent us a reward of 10,000 oceans, and I am ready to give some of it to the two of you."

"We don't have to, anyway, if you need the two of us, you just say it, don't be embarrassed."

"It's really troublesome for you two elders. We have drawn up a sniper list, and we are going to kill the devils who committed crimes one by one according to the list. BFIPU is reconnoitring and gathering information on their activities, and I will share them with you to see what you can do. ”

So, Xiao Xiong told the second elder about the proposed sniper target.

The first target of the sniper was the puppet police chief Zhang Shixiong. The tragedy that happened in Saiyang was caused by this dog man. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain in that area, he brought the devils to the Shimen Stream in the depths of Lushan Mountain, and found the very hidden "salt rat hole" and "bird hole", so that more than 50 unarmed people were stabbed to death by the devils with bayonets. Therefore, the Einsatzgruppen unanimously agreed that the first thing to do was to snipe this unconscionable dog man, avenge the death of more than 50 villagers in Saiyang Township, and also crack down on those very rampant traitors.

The second is Wang Guorui, the pseudo county magistrate. This Wang Guorui was originally the teaching director of Chaisang Primary School, but he had no iron backbone of a scholar, but he was willing to be a guest of honor for devils, and became a pseudo-county magistrate of Jiujiang County. He followed the devil all day long, yelling at five and six people. Today, I will help the devils arrest people and repair the airport, and tomorrow I will take the devils to the countryside to sweep. Do things that harm the common people. In June, he took the devils to Yujiahe, and as a result, the devils were furious, forcibly annihilated several women in the village, and shot and killed several villagers who resisted. He was also an unforgivable sin.

The third is Luo Jinzhang, president of the Jiujiang Chamber of Commerce. Once, at the west gate, he took a group of Han Jian and devils to force the people to sell the grain in the market to them cheaply, and took it, but was boycotted by the people. Together with the devils, this frenzied guy arrested more than a dozen ordinary people who took the lead in resisting, and sank them all into the Yangtze River on the charge of resisting. This dog man is extremely evil, and there is no forgiveness for killing!

Daddy Xiao told Xiao Xiong that a few days ago, Wang Guorui and Luo Jinzhang had approached him and Daddy Bai together, saying that as the Jiujiang Chamber of Commerce, we should contribute to the goodwill of Zhongyue, and also asked us to take the lead in raising military supplies for the devils, to open more doors to do business, and to make more contributions to the construction of the devil's "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle". No, I hurried to Miaozhipu to discuss this matter with Daddy Bai, and you just happened to be back.

Xiao Xiong pondered for a moment and said to his father:

"Daddy, you will visit Wang Guorui tomorrow and ask how to do it and how to arrange the political axe. You should also ask what activities the chamber of commerce plans to carry out and how it will be arranged. ”

"Okay, I'll go as long as you say, or I'm too lazy to go. That day, I said to him, 'I'm old, and my legs are inconvenient, and the county magistrate should forgive the old man.' 'I went, and this Han Jian must have been very happy. Hahaha......" Daddy Xiao laughed happily.

After sending off Daddy Xiao and his party, Xiao Xiong and Bai Yu said goodnight to Daddy Bai, and the two of them returned to the room.

Lushan in early winter is already very cold, the day before yesterday from Jiangbei just came cold air, brought a light snow to Lushan, put a thin layer of white veil on her, she looked more beautiful and enchanting, and a little charming. The watery moonlight poured into the room through the windows and the bright tiles of the roof, and the charcoal fire in the house made the room exceptionally bright.

There was already a large bathtub made of camphor wood in the room, filled with hot water, and the hot white mist slowly drifted through the unclosed door. The whole room was warm.

Xiao Xiong quietly looked at his beloved wife, and under the background of the charcoal fire, Bai Yu's delicate and fair face was smeared with a layer of redness, which was really delicate. Xiao Xiong picked up his beloved wife and walked gently to the bed. He slowly helped her take off her shoes and socks, untied her clothes one by one, and then gently kissed every inch of his beloved wife's skin with his lips, smelling the fragrance on his beloved wife's body. Then he carried her into the tub and gently stroked and stroked her with his hands......

Lying on the bed, Bai Yu rested his head on Xiao Xiong's chest and quietly listened to his lover tell the story of the battle. The thrilling, intense, and cruel inside made her feel nervous and suffocated, and she hugged Xiao Xiong tighter and tighter. When Xiao Xiong talked about the scene of more than 100 comrades-in-arms spilling blood on the battlefield, he couldn't control his tears anymore and couldn't talk anymore. Suddenly, Bai Yu hugged Xiao Xiong tightly and said:

"Brother, we want a child!"

Xiao Xiong was stunned suddenly, he gently stroked Bai Yu's face, and didn't speak for a long time. Yes, he didn't want their love to crystallize. However, in such a cruel period of the Anti-Japanese War, how could he have the energy to have such a good dream. In case she has three longs and two shorts, how should Bai Yu live as an orphan and widow.

Bai Yu looked at Xiao Xiong in a daze, and suddenly he kissed his lover with his red lips, refusing to let go for a long time. She said firmly to Xiao Xiong:

"Brother, don't worry, I'm not afraid. Even if there really is such a day, I will live strongly! ”

Xiao Xiong couldn't control himself anymore, he rolled over and hugged his beloved wife tightly in his arms......

The night of Lushan is still so beautiful and quiet, only the stream flowing not far away emits the sound of flowing water. The mountain breeze was gentle, it blew quietly from the north, just lightly touched the branches, stroked the doors and windows, and slowed down a little in Lushan, and then hurried to the south.

Looking at his beloved wife who was snoring softly on his arm, Xiao Xiong felt that he had a greater responsibility.

Not far away, a sentry coughed softly. The night is already very deep.

At noon the next day, Daddy Xiao rushed directly from Jiujiang to Miaozhipu, and he brought Xiao Xiong a good news: tomorrow at the Jiangzhou Hotel, Wang Guorui will have a banquet for the bosses of the Jiujiang Chamber of Commerce, and the time is 12 noon.

It's a fleeting opportunity and you can't miss it. Xiao Xiong immediately summoned Deputy Commander Gao, Chief of Staff Xiong Qiang, and the two team leaders, plus the Minghua brothers, to a meeting. Discuss tomorrow's sniper plan.

This sniper operation is different from the past, the goal is to help the Han to annihilate the traitors, and they must be hit with one blow to make an example of the chickens and monkeys. And it is necessary to retreat with all its body, without sacrifice. Now, the devil's rule over Jiujiang is very solid, especially the compulsory issuance of "residence permits", one certificate per person, the slightest dissatisfaction, the slightest fist and kick, the worst is imprisonment and killed. Therefore, how to safely retreat from the sniper scene is the key.

Everyone put forward their own ideas, but they were rejected by everyone. Xiao Xiong saw that only the two brothers Minghua were whispering on the side. Xiao Xiong said to them:

"Minghua, do you have any good solutions?"

Minghua stood up and said to Xiao Xiong

"Commander, where is the Jiangzhou Hotel?"

Xiao Xiong pointed to the map and told the two of them:

"The hotel is located between the ferry terminal and Gantang Lake, close to Gantang Lake."

Brother Minghua glanced at each other and said:

"That's going to be easy."

"Why is it so easy?" Xiao Xiong asked puzzled.

"At noon, it is the busiest time in the wharf area, and ships from Wuhan and other places upstream and ships from Shanghai, Nanjing and other places downstream have to arrive at the port. It is also the peak time for small traders and vendors to do business in that area, and at this time, those who invite guests to eat and shout and sell should be the most lively. This is the best time to snipe the enemy, and we think there will be plenty of opportunities. ”

"Tell me about your specific plans." Everyone started to look at the map and start working on the details.

On December 7th, it was the heavy snow in the 24th solar term. The remnants of the cold air that had just passed not long ago were still there, and although the weather was sunny, the cold wind was still strong. Although the devils have occupied Jiujiang for more than a year, the people of Jiujiang have also experienced a catastrophe. But ordinary people still have to live, no, early in the morning, the vegetable sellers, firewood sellers, charcoal sellers and other kinds of cries have been sounded in the streets and alleys, especially the Yanshui Pavilion to the passenger terminal around the riverside, the people have been full of all kinds of things. The rickshaw pulled against the cold wind blowing from the north of the river, cowering and hiding under the carport. The morning boats from Xiaochikou in Huangmei, Jiangbei, Susong, Anhui, and Wuxue, Hubei came one after another just after 8 o'clock in the morning. The flow of people on the street also began to flow endlessly, bustling.

The Jiangzhou Hotel in Jiujiang was one of the most famous hotels in the local area at that time, and the dishes in it were mainly based on the local specialties of Jiujiang, because various aquatic products such as salmon and whitebait from the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, such as stone frogs, stone fish, bamboo shoots, etc., were all kinds of mountain delicacies in Lushan, Mufu Mountain, and Jiuling Mountain, which could be tasted in the hotel, even if it was a rich and status guest from Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan and other big cities, they must go there to enjoy it when they arrived in Jiujiang. Not to mention the local dignitaries and nobles in Jiujiang, if they have any important entertainment, they must also come here. It's a status symbol.

Wang Guorui was very happy today, because almost all of the more than 100 invitations sent out two days ago received a reply, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce agreed to come to the banquet. He calculated that as long as each household paid an average of 100 silver dollars, then more than 100 should be more than 10,000 silver dollars. What's more, old man Bai and old man Xiao are big families, I'm afraid they have to pay at least 500 yuan. In particular, Luo Jinzhang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, went to Nanchang on a business trip yesterday, and at this time, he invited these rich people to a banquet, so as to reduce Luo Jinzhang's entanglement and avoid the cup of the Chamber of Commerce, and he would get more benefits. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and proudly sang Huangmei Opera "The Female Concubine":

"In order to save Li Lang from his homeland

Who expected to be the champion in the emperor list

The middle champion wears a red robe

The hat is so fresh

I have also been to the Qionglin Banquet

I also used to hit the horse in front of the street

Everyone praises me for Pan An's appearance

It turned out that the yarn hat covered Chanjuan

……”

Wang Guorui sang and thought that he was also a loss during this time, he was running in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and he was fart-free all day long, and his bones were tired. Fortunately, this also coaxed me to turn around and be happy. No, every household has planted the plaster banner of the book, and the slogan "Building the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle" is pasted everywhere, and the banner of "China is said to be goodwill" is hung everywhere. Don't look at this small flag, each household inserts it like this, and its own income has more than 1,000 silver dollars. Some time ago, I collected grain and grass for myself, and in addition to paying my errand, I also put more than 3,000 pieces of cash in my pocket. used to be a poor teacher, and his salary was only more than 30 yuan a month "Yuan Datou" (silver dollars). said that as soon as I came, in less than a year, my income had exceeded 10,000. You say that's a beautiful thing. It doesn't matter if he is a man or not, if he has milk, he is his mother. As soon as today's banquet begins, what a beautiful thing it should be. That's a lot of white silver! What's more, there are several managers of the foreign company and the captain of the gendarmerie Tsuda who are also coming today, and those rich people have to pay out of their pockets.

Thinking of this, Wang Guorui couldn't sit still any longer, just after 11 o'clock, he ordered his subordinates to prepare the car, and brought his security team to the Jiangzhou Hotel early, and personally went to the kitchen to check the preparation of the banquet.

Before 12 o'clock, there was a lot of traffic in front of Jiangzhou Hotel, and rickshaws and sedan chairs were parked in front of the door, and more than 100 bosses of all sizes came. Wang Guorui's mouth couldn't close when he smiled, and hurriedly went out to greet them one by one, and invited them into the hotel lobby that was already full of more than 10 tables.

At about 12 o'clock, several black cars with plaster flags and more than 10 motorcycles of devils drove over, and the captain of the Jiujiang gendarmerie who got out of the car was Tsuda Shaozuo, followed by the devil managers of several foreign companies.

Wang Guorui saw Tsuda and a group of devils coming, so he hurriedly walked down the steps of the hotel, trotted and hurriedly greeted him. At this moment, a hotel across the road sounded the sound of suona, followed by a deafening sound of firecrackers, it turned out that someone was doing a happy event.

Suddenly, with a few dull gunshots sounding "bang", Wang Guorui, who was walking towards Tsuda, fell on his back, with an arrow stuck in his throat, which seemed to have pierced his throat, and he was shot three times in the chest, and he couldn't live. Almost at the same time, the sound of huge firecrackers was mixed with a burst of gunfire, and Tsuda and several devil managers of several foreign companies also fell to the ground. When the accompanying devils saw it, they hurriedly blew their whistles, and picked up their machine guns and fired into the sky. When the crowd on the street heard the gunshots, they exploded in an instant, and everyone ran desperately with their heads in their hands. At this time, I saw that the streets and alleys from the wharf to Gantang Lake were full of people running, and the devil gendarmerie almost all went out and immediately blocked all the area to arrest the murderer.

It turned out that Xiao Xiong and the Minghua brothers discussed and let the hunter team be responsible for the sniping operation of Wang Guorui. They first chartered a hotel opposite the door of the Jiangzhou Hotel, pasted the bright red word "Xi" in front of the door, and prepared the suona and the big hanging firecrackers, the suona was blown by the team members, and the firecrackers were lit by Hong Min. Minghua was about to shoot with a gun, but Yaohua used a bow and crossbow. A total of 5 members of the Hunters team. All the other team members only wait for the hunt to be completed, and are responsible for receiving the hunter team that has completed the sniper mission. If Minghua and the others were indeed in danger, Xiao Xiong would send a signal, and everyone would attack several places in the city at the same time to attract and distract the attention of the devils and help Minghua and them get out of danger.

But I didn't expect the sniper operation to go very smoothly, not only sniping Wang Guorui, but also the captain of the military police, Tsuda Shaozuo, and several foreign devils were also reimbursed. After the operation was completed, the members of the hunter team immediately followed the flow of people to the edge of Gantang Lake, and took the car that had been prepared long ago and drove away. However, by this time, they had already put on the uniforms of the security team and turned into "black dogs" to carry out the task of searching for the murderer.

The devils searched Jiujiang City for three days in a row, arrested dozens of people, and shot several of them. It is said that the people who were shot were from the [***] 18th Security Regiment and were armed with pistols.
