At five o'clock in the evening, it was getting darker and darker. The heavy snow did not stop for a moment, and it fell more and more rapidly. Xu Xiangde held the steering wheel and stared intently ahead, but it became increasingly difficult to see the road ahead.

Half an hour ago, I drove this path, and finally got rid of the Japanese army's marching column. However, the direction of this road is to the northwest, deeper and deeper into the inner 6 of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Xu Xiangde looked at the odometer, calculated it, and said:

"We are now in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula. Now the distance to the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea is about the same. ”

Wu Yanbin lowered his head, illuminated the map with a flashlight, and said:

"Brother Xu, if you drive forty or fifty kilometers further, you will be Gaizhou. Gaizhou is on the edge of the Bohai Sea. Why don't we let the Dongjiang Fleet send a ship to the Bohai Sea to pick us up? ”

Xu Xiangde let go of the accelerator under his feet, slowly leaned the truck against the side of the road, and extinguished the fire. He leaned on the steering wheel, burying his face and not speaking.

"Brother Xu," Wu Yanbin said, "are you tired?" Come on, let's change. You come here and rest, I'll drive. ”

Xu Xiangde raised his head again, leaned on the backrest, and shook his head:

"Nope. We can't go any further. ”

Wu Yanbin was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly:

"Brother Xu, no, we have to go! When it's dark, we'll turn on the lights, and I'll do it for you when you're tired! But we can't stop here! We first killed the Japanese soldiers of that class, and then killed the two Japanese military police, and now the Japanese troops may have found the corpses and are looking for us! ”

Xu Xiangde glanced at him and said slowly:

"Nonsense, I didn't say I would stop here for the night, I was definitely leaving. I mean, we can't go in the direction of the Bohai Sea anymore. Bring me the map. ”

Wu Yanbin handed over the map, and he also leaned over and shone it with a flashlight. The two of them put their heads together in front of the map, and in the middle there was the head of a big wolf dog, sticking out their tongues, and looking at the map as if they didn't understand.

"Look at it," Xu Xiangde said, pointing to the map, "There is only one railway on the Liaodong Peninsula, and that is this Shenlu line, the railway from Shenyang to Lushun. After this Shen Brigade Line entered the Liaodong Peninsula, it has been sticking along the shore of the Bohai Sea. And there are several important places along the line: Yingkou, Gaizhou, Wafangdian, Pulandian, Jinzhou, and Lushun. Now along this railway, it must be the Qing army's heavy troops, and the military trains go back and forth frequently. When we went in that direction, didn't we plunge headlong into the arms of the Qing army? …… I said, we still have to find a way to the southeast, or we still have to go to the Yellow Sea. ”

Wu Yanbin sighed:

"Brother Xu, but there are Japanese troops in our south! We've just been walking with that division for a while! ”

"Yes, but there should be only one division, and as far as we can see, that division is marching in a straight line, and has not yet begun. In other words, although there is a division of troops, it only cares about going deep as fast as possible, and the places along the way have not been occupied, so we ......"

Suddenly, Xu Xiangde's eyes were fixed on the big wolf dog's face and he stopped talking.

The big wolfdog showed that fierce expression again, and the snow-white fangs bared out again, and a low growl came out of his throat.

Wu Yanbin was stunned, and immediately turned off the flashlight, and then both of them copied the pistol in their hands.

"Is it a human or an animal?"

Wu Yanbin whispered nervously.

Xu Xiangde slowly leaned down, pulled the strap under the seat, and pulled out the submachine gun as silently as he could, carrying it on his shoulder.

At this time, both of them heard a slight sound of stepping on the snow, coming from behind. Listening to it, he was very tiptoeing and quite vigilant.

Xu Xiangde patted the big wolf dog and motioned for it to be quiet. He listened for a moment and whispered as much as he could.

"Listen to the motion...... It's supposed to be a big thing...... It's definitely not a wolf, it's not a wild boar or anything...... In the old forests of the Northeast, there are only two animals that can tiptoe like this...... The first is a tiger, and the second is a human. ”

Wu Yanbin nervously lowered his voice:

"Could it be a bear?"

"It's not a bear...... Bears don't be so careful...... Besides, it's time to hibernate ......"

The big wolf dog between the two of them also became more and more nervous, although he no longer made a sound, but his teeth were completely exposed, and his muscles were tense.

At this time, there was a noise in the rear compartment, and a slight vibration came down the body of the car.

"It's in the back compartment."

Xu Xiangde whispered.

At the same time, the soft sound of stepping on the snow slowly winds from the back to the front.

"More than one ......" Wu Yanbin gasped nervously, "It should be a human ......"

Xu Xiangde pressed his ear and whispered:

"Get the guns ready, let's put the dog down first, and then we'll roll down through both doors at the same time."

"Good!"

Xu Xiangde patted the big wolf dog vigorously, and at the same time put his left hand on the door handle and slowly unscrewed the door lock. He glanced at Wu Yanbin and gently pushed the car door open a crack. The wolfhound rushed down like an arrow, a roar, followed by a human scream, then a scuffle and a cry for help. At the same time, two or three other voices also screamed and ran this way together.

Xu Xiangde and Wu Yanbin pushed the car door at the same time, and each rolled to the side of the road on the spot, lying in the snow and aiming with their guns.

There were several people on the other side, but their attention was attracted by the wolfdog, and they were all shouting and helping the person who was pounced on by the wolfdog to get out, but they didn't see that there were already two guns pointed at them behind them.

None of them had guns, and they were all holding sticks and sticks, and they were all beating the big wolfdog behind his back. The wolfhound roared, staring at the man who had fallen to the ground and biting him, who screamed and shouted for help. Several of them spoke Chinese.

"Alright, don't move!" Xu Xiangde slowly stood up and commanded with a submachine gun, "All hands up." …… Xiao Wu, turn on the flashlight and shine on them. ”

Those ** were taken aback and turned around. Seeing that both guns of the two men were aimed, they both quickly raised their hands.

The man on the ground was still scuffling with the big wolfdog, and there was a series of screams. Xu Xiangde stopped the wolf dog. The man groaned, frightened, and sat on the ground panting.

Wu Yanbin took out his flashlight and took a picture of those people, and both of them were taken aback.

There were four people in total, all wearing Qing army uniforms, all of them unkempt, haggard and emaciated, and some of them had blood stains on their clothes. The one sitting on the ground had his sleeves torn from the wolfdogs, and his chin and arms were still bleeding. All four were privates of the first and second class, and there were no officers.

With a "bang", a pile of things fell out of one of the military coats. Wu Yanbin took a flashlight and saw that it was a few cans. This can is in the back compartment of theirs.

Xu Xiangde said in a deep voice:

"What about the rest of you?"

The four men looked at each other, and then one of them said:

"Long ...... The chief spared his life, and the little ones were so hungry that they had to steal ......"

"I'll ask you what about the rest of you!"

Xu Xiangde shouted and pulled the bolt. In fact, he didn't know if it was just these few people, or if there were accomplices nearby, so he deliberately cheated him.

Sure enough, the Qing soldier was startled and hurriedly said:

"The chief spares his life, the chief spares his life, and a few other brothers, who could not walk any longer, rested in the back...... A few of us saw this man parked in a car and ...... Just come and see ......."

"Where did you come from? Why don't you even have a gun? ”

At this question, several Qing soldiers burst into tears and began to cry, you and I said one sentence, and soon Xu Wu and the others understood.

……

It turned out that they were from the 24th Division of the Qing Army, all of whom were from Henan and Shandong, and they were only transferred from the Central Plains Theater to the Northern Corps at the end of last year. They had been captured by the Japanese two days earlier, but the Japanese had not given them food, and they had been marching in the old woods, cold, hungry and tired, and many of their brothers had fallen and died. As a result, last night, the Japanese drove more than 1,000 of them into a mountain col, and suddenly fired several flares, which illuminated the mountain col brightly, and then several machine guns rang out. More than 1,000 people were tired and hungry, too weak to crawl, and were killed almost immediately.

At that time, there were still some people who could run and those who ran for their lives. But they couldn't run far at all, and the Japanese released wolf dogs and bit those who ran to death. More than 1,000 people were blocked in the col, and not a single person ran out.

The vast majority of these 1,000 people were shot and killed in the first round of strafing. Then the Japanese fired several more flares, and several machine guns fired at the corpse several more times. Probably because there were too many corpses, the Japanese just strafed several times, and did not go down to replenish the bayonets one by one. Then the Japanese withdrew.

After the Japanese army left, in this pile of corpses, 6 crawled out dozens of people who did not die. Most of these dozens of people were also shot and wounded, but they were not injured to the point of being critical, and they could not die for a while. But in this ice and snow, the blood on his body is not stopping, even if he does not die for a while, he will definitely not be able to climb this mountain pass. There were only about 20 Qing soldiers who hid under the corpses and were lucky not to be shot, and they were the real lucky ones, and they helped each other to escape.

They had no weapons, no food, no idea where they were, and they did not dare to walk along the highway for fear of encountering Japanese soldiers again. They can only support each other to drill into the woods. In the course of the day, half of the brothers fell. Now only the last ten are still alive, and those six are almost gone. Only the four physical strength in front of him is okay, and it can hold on for the time being.

……

Xu Xiangde and Wu Yanbin glanced at each other, and both nodded. The situation was as they expected. The massacre of the Japanese army was a common phenomenon, and it was by no means just one place.

Xu Xiangde asked Wu Yanbin to take out the medicine box from the truck, first treat the Qing soldier who was bitten by the dog, bandage the wound, and then said:

"Xiao Wu, you bring the two brothers over and bring the rest of them over. I'm waiting here. ”

Wu Yanbin knew this, took out another submachine gun from the back compartment and put it on his shoulder, and ordered two big Qing soldiers:

"Take me there. We have food in the car, so call all your brothers and let us eat first. ”

Several Qing soldiers were surprised and delighted, and promised again and again, two Qing soldiers stayed, and two Qing soldiers took Wu Yanbin into the forest.

The two Qing soldiers left behind looked at Xu Xiangde, and one of them plucked up the courage to ask:

"Sir...... Do you ...... Could it be the Ming Army? ”

Xu Xiangde nodded.

The two Qing soldiers were overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on their knees, weeping bitterly:

"Sir...... Are you here...... We're getting through it...... We want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you can take us in......"

"Sir...... The brothers died so miserably, you must avenge the brothers......*** destroyed the little Japanese ......"

Xu Xiangde looked at them and said:

"Don't be in a hurry to kneel first, I'll tell you first, Da Ming didn't enter Liaodong, just the two of us. The Ming Dynasty is now going all out to deal with your Qing army, and has not torn its face with Japan. But whether there will be a war in the future, I can't say. The two of us were military observers sent to Liaodong by the Ming government, and the Ming government suspected that the Japanese army had massacre prisoners of war on a large scale, so they specially sent us to investigate on the spot. This matter was also approved by the Japanese authorities, but now the Japanese are secretly chasing and killing us. If you were to follow us, it might be even more dangerous. ”

The two men hesitated, looked at each other, and then glanced at the back of the truck with greedy eyes. Their stomachs were crowing, and they knew that there was a big car behind them, all delicious. Follow them, at least you won't starve.

The two Qing soldiers nodded at the same time and said loudly:

"Sir, we are not afraid! It's just the two of you, it's too dangerous! We have ten brothers who can protect two chiefs! When you meet Little Japan, do it with them! ”

"Yes, we're with them! Lao Tzu can be regarded as crawling out of the pile of dead people, and he is still afraid of danger......"

Xu Xiangde sneered in his heart: This group of wrecks is really so kind, why would they be captured by the Japanese army, why would they climb the pile of the dead. He knew that most of them wanted to follow him and eat all the way, but there were only two of them, and they were weak. If you really want to encounter another battle, it is better to have a few more people to win. Although none of the 10 Qing soldiers were armed, they carried two pistols, two rifles, two submachine guns, and a light machine gun captured by the Japanese. If there are a few more people, these weapons can be wielded at the same time. There are a lot of canned biscuits and rations in the car, even a dozen people can eat for several days.

"Okay," he nodded, "I'll take you with me." The Japanese love to kill prisoners of war, and you've seen it yourself. If you encounter the Japanese again, you will fight whatever I tell you to fight, and only when you kill them will you have a way to live. When you get on our Daming ship, you can go to Daming. ”

The two Qing soldiers happily knelt down and kowtowed again, and said:

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness! The little ones are counted as cows and horses in this life, leading horses to fall and pedal, and knotting grass and rings......"

"Okay, okay," Xu Xiangde waved his hand, "where were more than 1,000 of you killed?" How far away? Remember the road? ”

……

Soon, Wu Yanbin really came with six other Qing soldiers. The six staggered, supporting each other, gritting their teeth and walking this way. It seems that they are really dying, probably because they heard that there is food here, so they can muster up the last bit of strength to persevere.

Xu Xiangde asked Wu Yanbin to open them a few boxes of canned food and a few packs of field rations. These ten Qing soldiers gobbled up, didn't even raise their heads, and choked and picked up a handful of snow and filled it in their mouths. It's like I've never eaten in my life.

At the same time, the two took out the radio and contacted the Dongjiang Fleet. encountered the situation of the survivors of the Qing army, and fell into the agreed code. They were quick to make it clear.

According to the accounts of the Qing soldiers, the Japanese army's slaughter site was not far from here, and Xu Xiangde planned to go there first to take a look and take photos and videos. After all, only one massacre site was photographed before, which is an "isolated evidence" and cannot prove the universality of the massacre. The nature of more than one massacre site is different.

As for which direction to go next, I really didn't have any idea for a while. In the northwest direction, the Qing army was heavily concentrated, and in the southeast direction, the Japanese army was deploying. You can't go to the northeast, which is the hinterland of Manchuria 6, leading to Shenyang and Jilin. Southwest Side......

A Qing corporal next to him suddenly burst out with a sentence:

"Sir, let's go all the way to the southwest and go to Lushun! I heard that those guys in the Lushun Navy have wanted to surrender for a long time! ”
