Chapter Seventy-Seven: Beheading the Enemy

At this time, Zhong Dabiao tied the belt to me again, and then stepped the gun magazine on me, although I felt a little awkward, but Zhong Dabiao did not let me get it. Zhong Dabiao looked at the devil's collar flower, and said with a smile: "It's a shame, we killed a second lieutenant." ”

After finishing speaking, I took off the devil's collar flower and put it in my pocket, and I said, "Big brother, what's the use of you getting this collar flower?" ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "A pair of collar flowers, representing a life of the devil, this is used to, when we are in the army, how many people are killed, they are all dragging the enemy's collar flower down to repay the merits, this is easier than cutting off the head." ”

I said, "Cut off your head?" ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "Yes, it is to cut off the enemy's head and tie it around the waist to repay the merit. However, after the Qin Dynasty, the population increased significantly, and it was too troublesome to behead the merit, so the Han Dynasty stipulated that the number of ears should be cut off, and the number of people killed should be calculated by the number of ears. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's criminal law reform replaced beheadings with shooting executions in 1905, and the number of people killed on the battlefield also ended the use of Yu Er to count the merits when cleaning the battlefield after the war. Later, when we fought with the Japanese devils, the Japanese devils regarded the collar flower as their life, so after we killed the Japanese, we dragged the devil's collar flower down, and used it as the proof of killing several devils, and these devils, regardless of the size of the official, all carried the collar flower. ”

As we talked, they came in, and when they saw the blood on the ground, they asked me if I was hurt, and I shook my head and said, "The little devil can't hurt me." ”

At this time, Luo Xihan saw the woman lying on the bed, went up to cover the body with a broken quilt, and Mao Qinglian also walked over and said silently: "Your revenge has been avenged, there are no young and old people on the Huangquan Road, life and death are your own lives, I hope you will not suffer these hardships in the next life." ”

After finishing speaking, I took out a box of foreign fire, broke the oil lamp on the bedside, lit the quilt on the bed, the flame ignited, we silently withdrew, I have killed someone now, and I have become a guilty person, but I still recited the death mantra to the dead woman a few times, I hope that the ancestor will not transfer my sins to the woman, so that the woman's dead soul will be reincarnated as soon as possible.

After we went out, I asked Tianning, Tianning said that there was no movement of devils, when Tianning heard that I cut a devil, he was anxious to be there and kill a devil with his own hands, Zhong Dabiao said: "It's easy to kill devils, we killed this second lieutenant of a devil, and he came with him, there are at least five or six devils, they must be hiding where to have fun, we found these devils, and then slaughtered them, to avenge these dead villagers." ”

When the junior brother Tianning heard this, he said: "Okay, but this time I am a pioneer, and the senior brother has killed a devil, and I also want to kill a devil to try my ghost head knife." ”

After finishing speaking, he took the ghost head knife in Zhong Dabiao's hand, and Zhong Dabiao used the devil's Oriental knife, not to mention that the Oriental knife was very good, it was bright and shaky, without a trace of rust, and the ghost head knife collided together, and there was no obvious gap, but my ghost head knife was more powerful, and there was no gap on it.

Tianning couldn't wait a little, walked forward quickly, Zhong Dabiao had to follow behind, we kept a certain distance, the gun and bullet in our hands were loaded, ready to fight devils at any time, at this time Tianning stopped in front of a yard, in front of that yard was an open space, one side of the open space was a firewood stack, the other side was a relatively large yard, in front of the firewood stack, there was a tree, after Tianning arrived there, he stopped all of a sudden, and Zhong Dabiao said something, and then climbed to the tree and looked into the yard, At this time, I faintly heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves in the courtyard, but the sound was not like a wail, but like the sound of people jumping and screaming when they were excited.

Hearing this, the three of us quickened our pace, and when we arrived in front of Zhong Dabiao, the sound in the courtyard was even louder, it was the voices of several men, they seemed to be singing, but they were singing bird language, and they couldn't hear what it was at all. The courtyard wall of this house is a bit high, and it is a mud-pasted wall, so you can't see anything inside. But it's safe to say that those who sing are Japanese devils, because their tones don't seem to have evolved yet, and the sounds they make are very weird. We were afraid of being discovered by the devils, so we hid behind the haystacks.

Then Tinian came down from the tree and came to us and said, "The yard is full of devils, and those devils are cooking pots in the yard, as if they are boiling chickens, and those devils are holding bottles in their hands, and they are drinking and dancing there." ”

Zhong Dabiao asked, "How many devils are there?" ”

Tianning said: "There are eight devils in it. ”

Zhong Dabiao asked, "Second brother, fifth brother, how are your marksmanship?" ”

Tian Ning said: "Senior brother's marksmanship is good, but my marksmanship is not good." ”

Zhong Dabiao thought for a while and said: "That's it, you give me your spear, my second brother and I will go up to kill the devil, the short spear is not suitable for blocking, I will use your spear, give you the short spear, wait for a while for you to ambush, and as soon as the devil goes out, you will shoot." ”

As he spoke, he gave the gun to Tianning, and Tianning said: "I don't use a gun, I won't use that gun at all, I think it's better to use a knife." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the ghost head knife from his back, Zhong Dabiao said: "Fifth brother, this devil is not playing hide and seek, the devil is very powerful, and the gun costs people's lives, so you must not be reckless." ”

Tianning nodded, at this time, Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan were also ready to shoot, and found a place to hide, I lifted Zhong Dabiao up, and then I went up myself, we lay on the top of the firewood stack, this firewood stack top, the top is made of wheat bran and mud, so that it can prevent rain leakage. The firewood stack was higher than the courtyard wall, and we could see the situation inside when we lay on it, and my heart throbbed again, and I felt that these devils were all damned.

I saw that there were indeed eight devils in the courtyard, and these devils were either standing there, making bird songs in their mouths, moving their hands and feet, or sitting there clapping their hands, and their guns were placed together, leaning there, and on the guns were shining bayonets, and on the bayonets of one of them there was a plaster flag with a white background.

There were several dead people lying in the courtyard, one of them was unclothed, these people were obviously killed by the devils, the devils' methods of killing people were outrageous, one of the devils who burned the pot was sitting on the head of a corpse, and while burning the pot there watching their ghost dance laughed. We all respect the dead, but these brutes are all human-faced and beast-minded, and they don't take killing seriously at all. ”

This Zhong Dabiao said: "These devils are all bold one by one, they may be used to killing people, thinking that the Chinese are the same as cattle and sheep, they do not know how to resist, after they kill people, they do not even put a sentry, today it is time for them to be unlucky, kill the gods and come to the world, to ask for their lives." ”

I whispered, "Big brother, what do you say?" ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "To kill these little devils, we must be fast, we can't let the little devils react, we will aim at one of each first, and after killing, we will hit others, try to kill as many as possible, otherwise once the little devils recover their strength, we will have dead and injured." ”

I nodded and said, "I'll listen to my eldest brother, eldest brother, I'll hit the devil who was sitting on the corpse and cooking the pot first, and send him back to his grandmother's house with one shot." ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "Okay, I'll fight the other one, we must be careful of the devil's counterattack." ”

I nodded, and then slowly aimed the gun at the devil who burned the pot, at this time the devil did not know that death was coming, he looked at the pot from time to time, and then took out a small bottle and took a sip. Then he danced again, the head of the dead corpse under his body, the blood on it had turned black and solidified, his eyes were wide open, as if he was complaining silently, there was a large pool of blood under the body of the dead body, it was very uncomfortable to look at, I felt something in my chest want to rush up, but at this time, it was not the time to vomit, although I had not fought, but I knew in my heart that we were surprisingly victorious, using the pride and boldness of the devils, and catching them off guard, if they exposed themselves, they were discovered by the devils, That's a big deal.
