Chapter Seventy-Four: A Missing Battalion Section 3: A Wounded Soldier
When it was almost dawn, the villagers of the brigade withdrew to the east of Niangzishen Village, and Director Cheng and they also withdrew here.
Yang Bangzi and Lao Feng were covering behind, and they also arrived here before dawn, and the village cadres and villagers of Niangzishen Village also rushed over, and the villagers who withdrew from Xiwangzhuang were hungry and tired and couldn't walk, Director Cheng arranged for the Niangzishen Village to give Zhang Luo some food, and the soldiers also took out the dry food they brought with them, and first gave the old people and children a hunger.
The two devil officers sat on the hillside, looking at the people in the valley with frightened expressions on their faces, silent.
Director Cheng also brought them to the men who had just survived the assault on the entrance of the village, and the old blind man whispered in Japanese about the scene that happened in the second half of the night, and his voice was very low, for fear that the villagers would hear the devil's words and make a fuss.
There are also those women who were rescued by the old five sons, who are unclothed and have dull eyes, who have just covered their clothes, and who have been ruined by the devils and have the heart to die, and they will not eat or drink are the same as the wooden people.
His Royal Highness the Prince's heart was churning vigorously, Qing Shui Dazuo had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he was very interested in the battle of Yang Bangzi and their attack on the village that he vaguely saw on the hillside.
The troops are less than half of the Japanese troops defending in the village, so they dare to take the initiative to attack, and they can also rescue the people, and the imperial army that is still fighting does not even dare to pursue, this eight roads have a bit of ability! No matter how Qing Shui looked at it, he felt that this Commander Yang was familiar, and he had a feeling of déjà vu.
The common people ate some of the food that Niangzi Shencun had made for them, and they had some strength. This place should not be stayed for long. Director Cheng asked the militia captain of Xiahetan Village to temporarily greet some men. Help the elderly and children with weak legs and feet, cross the mouth of the river together, and move north from Niangzishen Village.
A few militiamen ran over with a person, saying that they were people from our team, but they were wearing the clothes of the villagers, and Yang Bangzi asked the militiamen to put people down, and they didn't know each other at a glance, and they were not his soldiers.
The young man doesn't look very old. It was only seventeen or eighteen, and he couldn't say anything weakly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Stick, raised a hand, spread out his palm, and a small lump of rag-like things was revealed.
Yang Bangzi took it and unfolded it to see that it was an armband! The handwriting on it can still be recognized, the big characters are the 18th Group Army, and the small characters on the bottom line are the 29th year of the Republic of China!
This is an armband on a military uniform made in 1940, so to speak. This semi-comatose young man is the Eighth Route Army?
Yang Bangzi wanted to ask about the situation, but the young man tilted his head and passed out. Quickly call over to the hygienist for emergency treatment.
The militia who sent him said that this was the wounded soldier on our team who was taken in by the villagers of Puzi Village fifteen miles outside the mountain pass, and he was just in time for the devils to sneak attack and sweep, so he took off his military uniform and changed into the clothes of the common people.
When I was in Xiwangzhuang, I was also in the labor circle, and when I was transferred in the middle of the night, the shop in the south fifteen miles was handed over to their militia.
The hygienist saw it, it was a through wound on the waist, no medicine was used, the wound was a little inflamed and suppurated, and after being taken to Xiwangzhuang by the devil, he followed everyone as a coolie, and his physical strength was exhausted.
After pouring some water, the hygienist treated the purulent wound, maybe the salt water killed the panic, the young man woke up, and Yang Bangzi asked him which unit he belonged to?
"The third battalion of the third regiment of the new third brigade, the ninth company, the second platoon, the first squad, the soldier Yang Jincai." The young man moved his lips faintly and reported his number.
Isn't this the number of the old third regiment! Yang Bangzi's scalp exploded, and he immediately asked where he was injured? What about their troops? For the time being, he couldn't ask, and the pus and blood in the wound flowed out at once, and the young man twitched a few times, and passed out again.
Yang Bangzi went to tell Director Cheng about the wounded soldier, and checked the radio message record, confirming that the big man led the troops to rescue Guojiabaozi, which was converging with the battalion where the wounded soldier was, and the number was not wrong!
At this moment, the two devil officers made a request to talk to the eight-way manager, Yang Bangzi asked Director Cheng to come forward, and he accompanied the old blind man to see what the devil officer was tired of.
The idea of seeing the steward of the eighth road was put forward by the prince, and he communicated the request he wanted to put forward with the eighth road and Shimizu Dazuo, and there is no one to discuss at present, and the identity of Qing Shui is only known to the two of them, and the eight roads are not cold to them, and it is estimated that the true identity has not been exposed.
His Royal Highness the Prince made a request that they wanted to meet the captured man in black, and after talking, Balu could not send someone to accompany him, the reason was very straightforward, since he was here to assassinate them, he wanted to know weishenme!
This request was quite unexpected, Director Cheng was also a schemist, and he didn't have anything to answer for a while, the old blind man looked at the devil and looked at the director, and then set his eyes on Yang Bangzi.
Yang Bangzi thought simply, since we can't pry open the mouths of these assassins from the Devil Black Dragon Society, maybe these two devil officers can ask something, and if we don't let us participate, we won't participate, and they will see the reaction after they finish asking.
This is a bit reasonable, but it violates the discipline of the Eighth Route Army and the party, Director Cheng disagreed at first, but in this situation, he can't open the radio station and ask his superiors for instructions, and the surrounding enemy situation is still unknown.
Arrange the people, in the depression under the earth cliff, bring a few injured Black Dragon Society devils over, the tie is not loose, the rags in the mouth are taken off, as soon as the rags are removed, the two assassins have to shout, the devil's short officer went up to reprimand, and they all shut up!
In less than twenty minutes, the conversation between the several devils ended, and the two devil officers walked to the side again, apparently arguing fiercely for a while, and finally the thin and dry devil who looked very fierce gave the white-faced officer a military salute with two feet, and beckoned Yang Stick to them to come over.
"This is His Royal Highness Prince Takahito Mikasa Palace, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Imperial Japanese Empire, and I am the Commander of the Imperial Japanese Army's Army, and I am now the captain of His Royal Highness's Escort Team, and we ask that we be protected in accordance with the Geneva prisoner of war regulations."
After the devil officer finished speaking this stiff Chinese, Director Cheng, Yang Bangzi, and the old blind man all laughed, in fact, I had already guessed your identity, and it was wise to admit it myself.
Shimizu Daizo said simply, these Black Dragon Society were hired by the army to assassinate them, they didn't know the true identity of the assassin before accepting the mission, and the people who hired them said to kill two traitors, and the bounty was ten times higher than the ordinary mercenary money!
Director Cheng also said on behalf of the Eighth Route Army and the two devils, whether you are princes or ordinary soldiers, you must ensure your safety, and now we want to send you to the safe rear, and there will be more senior cadres of the Eighth Route Army to contact them.
His Royal Highness the Prince came over and bowed, apologizing for the atrocities of the Japanese army he had seen in the past few days.
He also asked if he could send someone to contact the Japanese officers in Xiwangzhuang, and he wanted to use his identity to get the Japanese army to stop this kind of attack and abuse of the Chinese people first.
After the old blind man translated these words to Yang Bangzi, Yang Bangzi shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said: "Don't bother with that, don't say that the devil officer on the other side of the mountain doesn't know you as a prince, even if you know that you are a prince, you will be shot before you go to the ground like this!" ”
As soon as he said this, the prince was stunned, looked down at the clothes on his body, and then understood, but no, he was wearing an eight-way military uniform up and down, Qing Shui looked at it coldly from the side, and did not express his opinion, this prince was too naïve and naïve, he didn't know who he was dealing with at all!
He didn't have a feeling in his heart, the prince spoke again, this time he made a suggestion, can you ask someone to give a message to the Japanese soldiers in Zhuangzi, the two sides can find a middle ground to meet, and the Japanese soldiers can still believe that the prince is still alive.
It turned out that the captives of the Black Dragon Society just now said that the people who hired them meant that the prince had been killed, and the two Japanese officers who betrayed the prince were the two Japanese officers they were going to assassinate.
The devil doesn't want to play any tricks! This attitude is too unacceptable all of a sudden! It's bowing and daoqian, and he wants to use his identity to make the Japanese troops who came into the mountains to retreat, how can this look like a dream! (To be continued......)
