Chapter Fifty-Six: The True Appearance of the Bandits

When sister-in-law Li witnessed this scene, her eyes were black at first and she almost fainted. Then, she was excited by Yang Liuhong's heroic actions. Suddenly, relief and glory drove away the pain in her heart, her eyes became amazingly bright, her face shone with pride, and the blood around her ran wildly, and she used a loud slogan from the bottom of her heart: "Down with the bandits, traitors, ......"

The crowd at the scene also roared overwhelmingly: "Down with bandits and traitors!" ”

Liu Heiqi finally revealed the true appearance of the old bandit, stretched out his furry black hand, and pointed at Sister-in-law Li: "Yours, go to the 'roast' for Lao Tzu in the same way!" ”

Several puppet soldiers came up to pull Sister-in-law Li, and the angry crowd started a fight with the bandits who came to pull people!

Liu Heiqi was in a hurry, he glared at the machine gun next to him with hungry wolf-like eyes, pointed at the fighting crowd and shouted to Sun Anxiang: "Commander Sun, quickly give me all the 'Dudu' ......"

Sun Anxiang nodded in understanding, and replied loudly with red eyes: "Yes!" Division! Not a single one is left! ”

The enemy's machine guns opened their mouths, and the red tongues of fire began to pour out their guilt. But at the same time, more intense gunfire rang out in the northwest direction of the village. A sentry rushed over in a panic and reported: "No, it's not good, the Eighth Route Army is hitting us from behind the buttocks!" ”

Liu Heiqi listened to it, and sure enough, the sound of gunfire and shouting in the northwest direction was like a torrential rain pouring down thousands of mountains and valleys, like a strong wind rolling up a hundred miles of spring tide. This is not like a small militia, but like the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Frightened, he was terrified, and shouted: "Withdraw!" Hurry up! ……”

Liu Heiqi and his gang fled in panic, walked more than 20 miles in one go, and settled down in the area of Zhuzi Mountain. They used the beams, tables, and stools of the common people as fuel, lit piles of wildfires, smoked and roasted the looted ducks, and beat the captured cadres and the masses with leather whips and gun butts...... Pouring out all kinds of heinous bestiality!

Dry thunder rumbled in the night sky, but not a drop of rain fell to the ground. The lightning kept coming, cutting the dark sky into many sharp blue lumps. The field was full of fire, the air seemed to be burned dry, and in its place was a smoky stench: the smell of gunpowder, the smell of blood, the strange smell of hair and burnt rags......

The flames in the village were still flickering, and the blackened shelves were supported on the ruins; Broken clay pots, iron pots, and water urns were everywhere; Everywhere were chicken feathers stained with dirty water and blood, dead pigs, and pigs and cows lying on the ground wailing before dying.

The commander of the third regiment of our Eighth Route Army led the battalion to rescue the injured villagers. The masses lying in pools of blood, some of them stared at the eyes of hatred and struggled with pain; Some were seriously injured and unconscious. With great hatred for the enemy, the comrades tore off their clothes and gently bandaged the group. Some comrades carried the door panels, quilts, and carried the injured villagers to the surviving houses.

Captain Song of the martial arts team also led the soldiers to fight the fire, the comrades shouted, ran, large buckets, copper basins, and water scoops were used, and the sound of splashing water and the impact of utensils was mixed with hurried shouting:

"Water, get the bucket!"

"Quick, quick, send it!"

"Come, pour here, ...... here"

In the other corner of the village, next to the large field lay willows and more than seven hundred corpses, surrounded by a large crowd of people silently. The burly man standing at the front was none other than Wang Lushui, the political commissar of the Lunan Military Region. He bid farewell to the commander of the seventh battalion, arranged the rescue work in the village, and walked here. He took off his military hat and stood motionless.

At this moment, the light of the fire shook in his dark eyes. He remembered the joyful meeting he had at Sister-in-law Li's cottage a month ago; He remembered the majestic spirit of the willows driving the oxen carts to transport the mines when they planted the mines...... He also remembered Xiao Cheng's cute melon seed face and innocent and lively energy...... He couldn't help but put his hand into the bag, felt out the wooden pistol that had just been carved and was about to be given to Xiao Chengli, and slowly raised it to his eyes to look at it, and looked at it carefully......

Suddenly, a whirlwind of men and horses burst in, the same platoon that had gone around the east to guard the battle just now. The big man in the lead had a wide face that was black and shiny in the light of the fire, and two scorching flames burned in his eyes.

This person first led everyone to visit a few seriously injured villagers, and then stepped on the wet plasma in the ground, ran to Yang Liu's body, and stood silently. He didn't speak for a long time, and the muscles in his face twitched...... Suddenly, "Gala" pulled out a big knife and shouted: "Kind of follow me!" The soldiers and militiamen who had come with them rushed out with another gust of wind.

"Comrade Fang Xiao, why are you going?" Wang Lushui woke up from his contemplation and asked.

"Revenge!" Comrade Fang Xiao replied without looking back.

"We want to avenge Sister-in-law Yang and Xiao Chengli and others!" The group echoed angrily.

Wang Lushui trembled his sword-like eyebrows, Siyan Village was catastrophic, Yang Liu and others died bravely, his chest was like the raging Yellow Sea, the giant lang emptied, the waves cracked the shore, I can't wait to swallow the enemy in one day, and go with them to kill him and turn over on his back! But as a conductor, he suppressed the impulse of emotion. He calmly analyzed the situation and believed that in the situation of heavy pressure and the huge disparity between the enemy and us, the result of hard work can only lead to defeat, and it is necessary to resolutely stop them!

"Comrades, I order you to come back!" Wang Lushui said loudly.

Although Wang Lushui's tone was not high, his tone was categorical, and there was no room for discussion.

Comrade Fang Xiao's dancing steel knife drew half a circle in the air, and he stood there motionless. After a while, he suddenly tore open the button on his chest and said loudly: "Commissar Wang, my heart is about to catch fire!" ”

Wang Lushui is like a statue that cannot be shaken by the wind and cannot be shaken by the rain, standing steadily. With a characteristic calmness, he said solemnly: "I understand your feelings! However, the revolution requires the calmness of all of us! ”

Comrade Fang Xiao's wide black chest was rising and falling sharply, and he said angrily: "Liu Heiqi owes us Siyan's blood debt, and he owes us too much blood debt to Lunan!" I am a native of the country, I can't take revenge, I'm sorry for the villagers, I'm sorry for Sister Yangliu......"

Wang Lushui's eyebrows trembled, and he still said calmly: "Comrade Fang Xiao, you have a very good sense of responsibility for this revolution!" However, you should see that Liu Heiqi not only owes the blood debt of Siyan Village and Lunan, but also owes the blood debt of our people in several provinces of China! ”

"This ......"

"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, we must repay this blood debt!" When he saw that everyone was gathered around, he stepped up the steps and continued: "How can this blood debt be repaid, and how can this revenge be avenged? Is this how to find the enemy? What has the enemy been doing for many days? Isn't it the enemy's trick that we just go! ……”

The words have polished people's eyes and made them realize that it is not okay to run into random bumps, but how to act in the end, they have not been able to come up with a proposition for a while. Comrade Fang Xiao spread his hands anxiously and asked, "Look, what should we do now?" ”

Wang Lushui decisively and clearly arranged the work: "There are three tasks that we will immediately start immediately: first, demolish the Tongdong Bridge and put up a guard; 2. Collecting the dead compatriots; III. Convening a Military and Civilian Memorial Conference ......"

The people talked for a while, and then they dispersed in an "uproar" and got busy according to the division of labor.

After a while, the villagers led by the old township chief returned from the mountains, the old district chief and the cadres of various townships also arrived, and the young and middle-aged people from the neighboring villages rushed over from the crops. The flow of people poured forward. In the night fog, the dirt field at the entrance of the village, the overturned ox carts, and the charred walls were crowded with black and crushed crowds everywhere.
