Chapter Thirty-Eight: Meeting on a Narrow Road (I)
Under the command of Tang Ci, chief of the Third Section of the Public Security Bureau of the Jiaodong Military Region, the "armed task force of the Jiaodong Military Region" persisted in carrying out the anti-sweeping struggle in the central base area and destroyed the enemy piecemeal in the course of maneuvering. It is difficult to sleep and eat in the day, pseudo, and stubborn tossing and tearing that has gone deep into the base area, and it is a great headache. A few days ago, the "armed task force of the Jiaodong Military Region" obtained information and rushed to more than 100 miles overnight, attacked the baggage units of the independent mixed Seventh Brigade Regiment of Major General Yoshitaro Hayashi, and set fire to more than a dozen trucks and more than 40 large trucks of military supplies of the little Japanese devils. The old devil Major General Yoshitaro Hayashi had to stop the attack, shrink his troops, and wait for support.
When the news reached the Jiaodong Military Region Headquarters, Commander Xu was very pleased and personally ordered a commendation. Since then, the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horses" have been famous in Jiaodong, and the Jiaodong military and civilians have passed on the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horses" as a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general.
After hearing the bad news of the "Zhouzhuang Bloody Case", the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horses" rushed straight to Zhouzhuang. It's a pity that when they arrived in Zhouzhuang, the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horses" saw the captain of the third district team, Zhou Tieshan, nicknamed "Zhou Blacksmith", who was leading the surviving people who returned to Zhouzhuang to collect the remains of the innocent villagers who died in vain. After the "Asai Squadron" slaughtered the people of Zhou Village, they threw the bodies of these innocent people into the ravine next to the school playground, poured gasoline on them, and set them on fire.
After returning with more than a dozen district team members and the surviving people of Zhou Village, "Blacksmith Zhou" found that almost none of the houses in the village were intact, and there were ruins everywhere, and some were still billowing black smoke. The trees on the side of the street and in the courtyard were burned bare, and even the stones in the yard were burned to cracks. The howling cold wind swept through the air with the remnants of ashes, exuding a choking smell of burning. Zhou Village seems to have everything scorched, miserable. Where is this still the home I once was? The villagers cursed the little Japanese devil for being inhumane and came to the school playground again. I saw that the blood stains on the playground had frozen, and the smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated, and I was still nauseating.
People couldn't help but be a little flustered, and shouted one after another: "What about relatives? Where are our loved ones? ……”
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: "The old and young masters are all here!" ……”
When the people heard this, they flocked to the edge of the ditch, looked up, and could not help but be stunned: they saw that the bottom of the ditch was full of charred corpses, and it was impossible to identify who was who. The scene was so miserable that even if the Chinese civilization of 5,000 years created the richest language and script in the world, it is difficult to find the right language and script to describe it. After a while, people seemed to react, and the crying immediately rang out, and the kneels on the edge of the Hulala ditch were full of people who were in pain, and the mourning was everywhere.
When the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horses" entered the village, the villagers of Zhou Village were enduring their grief and carried the bodies of their relatives to the sunny side of Xidagangzi for burial. The feng shui there is good, so that the true qi of the deceased relatives and the acupuncture qi are combined to form vitality, and through the communication of yin and yang, the living relatives are blessed in the dark no longer to suffer from the scourge of the little Japanese devils, and the relatives of the deceased also ascend to bliss as soon as possible.
Suddenly seeing the eighteen Eighth Route Army, the villagers of Zhou Village finally saw their relatives, and they surrounded them, crying and crying bitterly, crying to their relatives The Eighth Route Army complained about the heinous crimes of the little Japanese devils.
Zhan Dapeng grabbed the "Blacksmith Zhou" and asked eagerly: "Third brother, where is my third sister?" She is still pregnant with her child......"
"Blacksmith Zhou" wiped his tears and said: "Dapeng, the commander of the war zone has already given birth to a baby, I sent my sister Chun Tao, sent two district team members to protect me, and went to the battalion commander with the baby." But the war zone chief ...... Warzone Commander she...... Woo......"
"Blacksmith Zhou" said this, he couldn't say any more, and hid his face and cried. Zhan Dapeng stomped his feet anxiously and said, "Third brother, you are still the captain of the district team, what are you crying about a big man, what about my third sister?" ……”
Zhou Huishan, the village chief of Zhou Village, came over, took Zhan Dapeng's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Dapeng, you must hold on!" Theater Commander...... Warzone Commander she...... She's been ...... Let the little devil kill ......"
"Huh? ......" Zhan Dapeng only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the tiger's body couldn't help but shake and almost fell. Tang Ci and Ren Changlun hurriedly blocked Zhan Dapeng on the left and right. Zhan Dapeng had tears in his eyes, and he put aside Tang Ci's hand and said, "What about my third sister's corpse?" ……”
"Blacksmith Zhou" hardened his heart, wiped his tears and said: "Why don't you say that these little devils are not beaten by people!" In our Zhou Village, they killed 179 people, including the head of the war zone. Advent ...... Then he set a fire and burned the corpses of these 179 people to black coals......"
When Zhan Dapeng heard this, the tiger body couldn't help but shake again. "Blacksmith Zhou" hurriedly asked, "Dapeng, are you okay?" ……”
Seeing that Zhan Dapeng shook his head and said that it was okay, "Blacksmith Zhou" then continued: "I have discussed with several noble people in the village, since the corpses can no longer tell who is who, I will simply bury the corpses of one hundred and seventy-nine people, including the head of the war zone, on Xidagangzi. Once you've thought of a name, it's called 'mass grave'! Let our children and grandchildren firmly remember that these little Japanese ghosts who should have been cut with a thousand knives killed 179 people in our village with one hand. ……”
Zhan Dapeng suddenly opened his shining eyes, gritted his teeth and asked, "Third brother, do you know everything, which part of the 179 old and young masters in our village was not killed by the little Japanese devils who were beaten by people?" ……”
"Blacksmith Zhou" frowned and said, "This ...... I haven't heard of this! But listening to the two stunned people hidden in the cracks of the stones, the translator of the little devil was full of big ballast. It was Zhou Defang's son Zhou Shanlin who came with the little devil......"
Zhan Dapeng was taken aback and said, "Zhou Shanlin? Isn't his father Zhou Defang a senator of the anti-Japanese government of the Eighth Route Army in Ye County? Didn't Zhou Shanlin go to the Whampoa Military Academy to study? Why did you become a puppet army again? ……”
"Zhou Shanlin is the son of Zhou Defang. Zhou Defang saw that his son had done such a big sin, and he was ashamed of the villagers and the government's courtesy to him, so he hanged himself! ...... the rest of Zhan Dapeng's questions, "Blacksmith Zhou" couldn't answer any of them.
Zhou Huishan grabbed the words and said: "The translator's business, Captain Zhou is not right! The second stunned man is not talking about the translator! The translator of the little devil does not wear a military uniform, but this translator wears a military uniform and carries the '38 Gai'er'. That's right! The second stunned man also said that a lot of these little devils said a lot of Goryeo sticks. ……”
When Zhou Huishan said this, Tang Ci suddenly woke up and said, "I know which group of devils made the sin!" When I reported on the enemy situation before the sweep, I heard that Lieutenant General Jiro Tsuchihashi, the old devil, thought that the troops of the sweep were insufficient, and asked Okamura Ninji to transfer some Kwantung Army reinforcements from outside the gate. Among the Kwantung Army that came to reinforce was a unit composed of Koreans from the Jilin area, what was it called...... By the way, this unit is called the 'Asai Squadron', and it's two devils! ……”
"Blacksmith Zhou" slapped his thigh and shouted: "Dapeng, since you know who created the sin, what are you waiting for?" Let's go and avenge the tragic death of the war zone chief and fellow villagers! I and the district team, these dozen or so people are all under your command! ……”
"Revenge wow! Dapeng, you have to lead us to avenge the war zone chief and the villagers! Dapeng, you take the lead, and we will follow you to take revenge! ......" "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horses" The villagers in Zhou Village shouted one after another.
"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! Section Chief Tang, the revenge of the villagers cannot be avenged! The revenge of the war zone chief cannot be avenged! ......" The soldiers of the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Cavalry" were enraged by the atrocities of the two devils, and immediately asked for war one after another.
"Folks, please be quiet! Listen to me! ......" Tang Ci turned out to be a "political security" officer of the Red Fourth Front Army, and he was extremely cool-headed. Seeing that things were going bad, he hurriedly stopped everyone. Seeing that everyone gradually calmed down, he said: "Fellow villagers, comrades, we Shandong people have always had clear grievances. If you have revenge, you will not take revenge, and you are not a gentleman! You punch me, I turn around and have to give you a kick! If there is revenge and no revenge, it is either incompetence or ignorance. In the face of these two devils who are inferior to beasts, you are cowardly and incompetent; In the face of the jackal, femme fatal, you have illusions, you are ignorant. It is human nature to take revenge; It is a conscience to repay kindness. Tolerance, of course, is required, but it must not become an indulgence of the evil of the two devils. ……”
When Tang Ci said this, he saw that the people were quiet, and said to the "Blacksmith Zhou": "This comrade, it is the duty of our Eighth Route Army to eliminate the two devils to avenge the villagers and the commander of the war zone. The main task of your district squad is to protect the villagers. Especially the sweep of the little devils is not over yet, the villagers have just suffered, and they need to ...... even more at this time"
"Blacksmith Zhou" didn't know Tang Ci, and when he saw that he didn't agree with his district team to take revenge, he waved his hand suddenly, glared at him, and said to Tang Ci: "What are you talking about? The Eighth Route Army is a team commanded by the party, and our district squad is also a team commanded by the party! Why do you fight two devils to avenge the villagers and the head of the war zone, and score one, two, three, etc.? ……”
Zhan Dapeng had already calmed down at this time, and hurriedly said to "Blacksmith Zhou": "Third brother, this is Section Chief Tang of the Public Security Bureau of our Jiaodong Military Region. Isn't the first article of our "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" 'all actions obey the command'? ……”
Zhan Dapeng moved out of "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", and "Blacksmith Zhou" had no choice but to stare dryly, and had nothing to say.
With the help of the fleeing people, the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Cavalry" soon found the traces of the "Asai Squadron". Zhan Dapeng is eager for revenge, gritting his teeth, he is going to rush up and fight to the death, even if he cuts off the tail of the "Asai Squadron", he can breathe a little evil. However, Tang Ci disagreed, he said: "It is very easy to eliminate a few two devils, but it is not the goal. We are now a martial arts team, and fighting a war must be the way of fighting a martial arts team. We have to do a big deal, fight snakes and fight seven inches, and eliminate the squadron headquarters of the 'Asai Squadron'. Therefore, we must not startle the snake, we must wait for the opportunity like a hunter! ……”
Seeing that the morale of the troops was extremely low, Kazuo Asai couldn't help but be a little worried. He didn't know that the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Horsemen" behind him were calculating him, and if he knew, he wouldn't just be worried. Despite this, Kazuo Asai was still very worried, worried that if this continued, it would not take a few days to meet the Eighth Road, and his "Asai Squadron" would collapse.
Kazuo Asai felt distraught, he jumped off the Toyoma and shouted, "Sano くん (Sano)!" ……”
"...... Hayi" at the time, the "three-surnamed house slave" called "Ryunosuke Sano" ran over in a hurry.
Kazuo Asai raised the binoculars on his chest, observed the mountains around with constant gunfire and wolf smoke, and asked without looking back, "Sano, today, where are we now?" ……”
The "three house slaves" hurriedly turned their backs to the wind, opened the cowhide bucket on their backs, took out the map, looked at it carefully, and said: "Your Excellency the captain in the report, we are probably ...... now."
