Sixteen: There are eyes in heaven

Wang Mingming became more and more hungry the more he ate, and he couldn't fill his stomach. She was eating with her head down, and Lao Liang said, "Look, prisoners of war. ”

She looked up and saw a team of armed devils on the opposite side holding more than two dozen Chinese prisoners of war, and the prisoners of war walked slowly with their heads down, they were very tired.

The devil on the side of the gate told them to sit down.

A group of armed devils came out of the courtyard, and they changed shifts with the prisoners. The replaced Japanese soldiers went into the courtyard to eat.

Several prisoners of war carried baskets of vegetables and followed the devil into the courtyard. After a while, two more barrels came out.

Lao Liang said: "The Japanese army asked these prisoners to clean up the dead bodies and obstacles on the road. Transporting war materiel. Anyway, do some hard work.

"With so many troops entering the city, the vegetable supply can't keep up. Vegetables were planted in the open space behind the houses by the river and ditch, and the Japanese army left these prisoners to harvest the vegetables grown by the Nanjingers.

"There are many mountains and rivers in Nanjing, and there are many fish in the river, and the Japanese army wants these prisoners to go down to the river to fish. The fish caught are eaten by themselves and sent to the headquarters. In order to make them work, the Japanese army did not kill them for the time being.

"The Japanese army gave these prisoners two meals a day, a bowl of porridge for each meal. Eat their leftover vegetable soup at noon. Much better than being killed and collectively imprisoned captives who were denied food or drink. ”

At this time, the captives lined up with bowls of vegetable soup. The captive who had served the vegetable soup tilted his head and put a bowl of vegetable soup into his stomach. They walked to the back of the line and lined up for a second time, trying to get another bowl of drink.

It is said that it is vegetable soup, but there is no soup and no vegetables, or the leftovers eaten by the Japanese army are poured in. Some of the devils even spit a few mouthfuls into the bucket.

Wang Mingming's food can't be eaten. She looked at the prisoners of war sympathetically and said, "These people have nothing to suffer, but I hope they can survive." ”

Lao Liang said: "There were no officers among the captured Chinese soldiers, not even a second lieutenant platoon commander. This is a headache for the occupying forces. I don't know if the officer crossed the river or changed his rank. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the devil standing guard and gave him the cutlery.

Lao Liang started the car, and they hit the road again. Wang Mingming ate and had strength all over his body. It's no longer black and white in front of me. My head doesn't hurt so much.

She looked out the window at the street, she was very new to the area, she didn't know where the car had gone. The situation on the side of the road and the situation in the safe zone are completely different.

There were corpses everywhere on the road, by the walls, and at the mouth of the alley. Some of the bodies were crushed into a pile of pulp by armored vehicles. Many houses were burning, and there were charred and broken walls everywhere.

The devils looted roadside shops and homes in groups of three in an organized manner. Looted cloth, materials, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and clothes were piled up on the roadside. Wait for the car to load.

The devils saw their car and waved their hands excitedly in salute. Apparently they saw the sign on the car. Know that the people in the car are not ordinary people.

Some Japanese soldiers flattered and ran to the road to move the corpses in front of the car, and let their cars slowly drive through the corpses.

Lao Liang said: "Those houses were set on fire by Japanese soldiers, and they also killed people. The air here is filled with the smell of blood, corpse stench and burnt fireworks.

"Look over there, at the mouth of the alley, the corpses of Chinese soldiers and policemen are all over the place. They had already laid down their weapons or were shot en masse by the Japanese army.

"Female soldiers and policewomen were even killed after being humiliated. Many female soldiers and policewomen resisted the atrocities of the Japanese army and committed suicide by biting their tongues. Amazing!

"You will feel like you're in hell right now. Like the eighteen layers of hell described in the book. Nanjing is a purgatory in hell. ”

Wang Mingming saw cars and trucks huddled together and burned in a clearing far away. She wondered. She asked: "Why did the Japanese army burn these cars when they were robbing cars everywhere." ”

Lao Liang said: "Those cars over there are all Chinese army cars, and they were burned by the Chinese army itself. They could not take it away, and they would never leave it to the Japanese. ”

When the car drove near the Xuanwu Gate, Wang Mingming suddenly recognized where it was. She didn't know how she got here.

There were a lot of armored vehicles and tanks parked at the city gates. The car was covered with a Japanese flag, and there were two black sedans next to it. Japanese soldiers stood guard there.

The car slowly drove through the Xuanwu Gate. Gunshots rang out from the side of the road. Wang Mingming looked in the direction of the gunshots. Seven or eight devils gathered around the door of a house. The devil placed guns indiscriminately in the sky and in the house.

After a while, four devils came out of someone's house with two men, and the two men were struggling desperately, and the devils shot them in the back.

The two devils took out the pockets of the deceased's clothes and put the money in their pockets. The devil dragged out a white-haired old man who had no strength to struggle, and he was pressed to his knees by the devil.

A devil came over, and he stood with a knife in both hands. The old man knew that the devil was going to kill him, so he raised his head and spat at the devil fiercely.

The devil looked at the phlegm on his body, he felt a great insult, the corners of his mouth pulled down, and he screamed viciously, and cut off the old man's head with a knife.

Wang Mingming's heart suddenly lifted upward, and she stared at the head on the ground, which was the head of her compatriot. Her hand mechanically reached into her arms and took the gun. She didn't touch the gun, her hand stopped there.

She saw with her own eyes that the kung fu devil killed three ordinary people in the blink of an eye, and the common people lived their lives at home. The devil actually broke into someone's house and killed someone.

Wang Mingming was sighing, and a woman rushed out of the house naked. A devil went up and grabbed her, and it looked like he was going to rape her.

The woman saw the corpses of the man and the old man on the ground and howled desperately at the sky, and she suddenly knocked off the devil's steel helmet, grabbed his hair, and tore it hard. She desperately shook off the devil and slammed into the wall.

Wang Mingming looked at the woman with blood on her face sadly. Her grief and resentment turned into tears, and she cried silently.

The Japanese soldier viciously kicked the woman's corpse. He pulled his legs apart and peed on her corpse unscrupulously.

The devils took out a lot of things from the family's house and put them on the side of the road, and they set fire to the house with torches. When the fire reached the rooftop, they raised their guns and cheered excitedly.

Wang Ming stared at those devils deadly. In her eyes, the devils are a rabble. A gang of robbers who kill without blinking.

Lao Liang is right, the entire Japanese army is a murderer and rapist. Arsonist. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to avenge my dead compatriots." ”

Lao Liang looked ahead and said: "Like robbers, they broke into people's houses to kill people and steal things, and they set fire to houses in order to destroy corpses and destroy traces." It's cruel.

"You have seen their crimes with your own eyes. I know you're very angry, hold back. If there are people on earth who do things in the sky, the Japanese army will be punished for its many evils. ”

"You have to remember that the hatred of the Japanese army is not the hatred of you alone, it is the hatred of the whole country, the hatred of the whole nation.

"Hatred is not unreported, the time has not come, and everything will be reported when the time comes. Revenge alone cannot defeat the Japanese army. It depends on the Chinese government and the Chinese army. ”

There were many Japanese soldiers in front of their cars, and they were all over the streets looking for targets for robbery. They saw that the sign on the car did not stop them. Consciously get out of the way.

Wang Mingming didn't know what was posted on the car. She didn't ask. As long as the devil is afraid of this thing.

The road has been cleared, and Lao Liang has picked up his speed. He said, "The main road over there is the central road, and the city gate over there is the central gate." It was opened in 1931.

"We are now going to the Peace Gate, which was originally called the Shence Gate, but in 1928 it was changed to the Peace Gate.

Wang Mingming said: "I am from Nanjing, and I don't know anything about these situations. You are Japanese, how do you know so many things. And know so much detail. ”

He said: "Before I came to Nanjing, the army arranged for university lecturers to give us special classes, and I had carefully studied the history and geography of Nanjing, and I only knew a little about it. ”

As they spoke, they had seen the Peace Gate.
