Chen Shiyu's heart was galloping like a galloping horse. Thinking about the battle in front of you, thinking about the victory you are about to get. Suddenly, his heart flipped over, and he was frightened, thinking, remembering the people who were closer than his relatives: "Quick! Fast! Fast! Hurry up and go into battle, only by winning time can we achieve victory, and only then can we keep the comrades of the 'double reduction' task force and the safety of the masses! ”

The war horses neighed, and more than 200 horses galloped up to the edge of the village around Vinegar Dazhuang and choked the enemy's retreat.

However, on both sides of the Shu River in front of him, there was already a raging fire, and thick smoke was rising into the sky, and Chen Shiyu had already decided that the enemy might be about to flee or had already fled. Unable to wait any longer, the soldiers raised their horses and raised their swords and pressed from the wide front to the edge of the village. Suddenly, the cavalry plunged into the flames and buried in the smoke.

It's late! Half an hour ago, the enemy fled and pounced!

The villages on the four sides of Vinegar Dazhuang are a miserable scene, which is terrifying.

The fires were dying in some places, raging in a few places, and the whole village was in flames, with haystacks and houses burning. Cows, pigs! It squeaks with bubbling oil, giving off a pungent bitterness and a fishy smell.

Whoa, whoa! The houses collapsed one by one, and tongues of fire with stars stretched out, caught in the smoke, and swirled into the air.

At this moment, I saw the pigs and dogs that were burned but did not die screaming strangely. Not a single person in the village put out the fire, and not a single one howled, their bodies tense as wood, their fists clenched, their eyes glaring angrily, as they watched as the relentless fire before them consumed their lovely home.

"Comrades! Fast! Chen Shiyu turned over and dismounted, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered, "A platoon of guards, and the others dismount to put out the fire!" ”

So, the second and third rows of soldiers tied their horses and rushed towards the merciless fire.

Chen Shiyu braved the smoke and flames, checking the situation of the victims everywhere. On the large field at the edge of the village, there were the corpses of several people, but each corpse had no head. Around the pile of corpses, the bodies of more than 20 victims, including old men and children, were scattered, most of them women. It is obvious that these victims wanted to save their relatives, or to die for their relatives, or to fight and be killed by indiscriminate shooting.

Among them, there was a young woman, wearing only a pair of floral trousers, who had been disemboweled, her intestines dragged out a dozen paces away, her hair was scattered, her hands were clenched into fists, as if she had been killed in a fight!

Twenty paces away, beside the well, lay the body of a baby girl, with no gunshot wounds or external injuries. Apparently he was thrown to death. He left his dear mother, where did his mother go? What is her fate?

Chen Shiyu took a few steps forward and turned to the sidelines, and what he saw at a glance was an even more shocking scene. I saw eleven bloody heads hanging from the big tree on the side of the field, buckled with ropes. These murdered heads, all gritted their teeth and stared at each other, were angry, marking the hatred of his life. This hatred has not gone away. Next to the head, a large wooden board was hung, and nine words were written on it: "Poor ghost, this is the end of 'double reduction'!" ”

Chen Shiyu's eyes were so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he turned around and walked to the corpse stack. I saw that next to these massacre corpses, a large pile of coals, the corpse of an old man, fell in the fire, and the stomach was still burning with the wood, leaving only half of the chest and the old skin legs and feet stained with black blood clots. There was also a toddler next to him, charred ashes, emitting the last wisps of green smoke, and a small hand half stretched out outside the fire. Judging by the size of his hand, the child was no more than four or five years old.

Next to the ashes were more than 20 wooden sticks with thick bowls, which were dyed red with blood, and after being dried by the fire, they cracked into pieces of scaly blood clots. I don't know what strange torture tools the enemy used it for.

The village was full of people, some women fainted, some were stunned, and some went crazy. They gritted their teeth, stared at each other, and spat out untold rage.

The fire was extinguished, and the village was reduced to ashes. Broken bricks and tiles, shrouded in bitter smoke and stench.

The soldiers sorted out the bodies of the victims, and the comrades did not need the villagers, because the scene was so terrible that they could not bear to let the masses see the tragic death of their relatives, their neighbors and friends. They are the sons and daughters of the people, and the victims are like their own grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces.

The comrades were so careful and careful that they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt the wounds of the victims. The comrades untied their military blankets and wrapped the bodies tightly. In front of the victims, the soldiers stood in a circle and stood in silence. More than 200 war horses are also mourning.

The comrades raised their hands, clenched their iron fists, excited, and angry, and more than two hundred people raised a voice: "Dear compatriots! ”

"Sorry we're late! I'm sorry we didn't do our job! ”

"Rest in peace! Fathers and fellow villagers! We will definitely repay this blood debt, and we will swear to avenge this blood revenge! ”

The horses neighed and roared with the roars of the warriors.

The angry warriors, when they were ready to set off, wrote letters of determination one after another, demanding that Tancheng be defeated and the enemy captured alive for revenge.

Chen Shiyu sent a reconnaissance unit to search and reconnoitre. The people of the whole village have gathered around the soldiers. "Dear! Close relatives! We have to accuse, accuse ......"

In front of their loved ones, tears welled up in the thousands of eyes of the crowd, and they began to pour out the scene of their suffering. Chen Shiyu looked at these suffering people, and tried his best to restrain his anger, especially the deep fish and water feelings, which were always attacking his reason, and his expression was obviously a little trance.

His relatives, his good landlord, seemed to be by his side, and poured out her plight in the crowd. Chen Shiyu raised his head and looked around, but in the grieving and angry crowd, he couldn't see the shadow of the old landlord. It was as if he was in a dream, and he hoped it was a nightmare.

A gray-haired old man in the crowd, dressed in a thin ragged shirt, stared straight at each other, opened his hands, and muttered like crazy: "My son is gone!" It's gone...... The daughter-in-law is gone, gone...... Oh, my God! Who provides for the elderly? Who raises us for the old ...... You say......"

A middle-aged woman with tears in her eyes and a child of about three years old in her arms. The child's little face was tightly nestled next to the mother's neck, staring at the frightened and ignorant two big eyes, looking at the mother's face, and the mother's tears fell on the child's frozen little cheeks......

Chen Shiyu blinked his eyes, and saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen standing beside him, his eyes were full of desolation, his hair was scattered, and he stared at the ground as if he was frozen, and his eyes did not blink. There was a little girl of four or five years old, snuggled in front of him, and he surrounded the little girl with the skirt of his clothes. From time to time, the little girl looked at his face crying and cried in a low voice: "Big brother! Brother! Mom and Dad didn't ......."

The little girl couldn't cry anymore. The little brother hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his sister's tears; But his own tears were already dripping on his sister's head and face.
