Chapter Thirty-Eight: Meeting on a Narrow Road (Part II)
As soon as the frosty Nizi saw Tong Zhenshan, she immediately ran over the knee-deep snow with great difficulty, shouting as she ran: "Brother Tong, it's me!" I'm a spring peach! ……”
"Huh? It's Chun Tao, why did you find it? ......" Tong Zhenshan recognized it, this Nizi was indeed the seventeen-year-old sister Zhou Chuntao, the captain of the "Zhou Blacksmith" in the third district of Ye County. Tong Zhenshan hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Tong! ......" Zhou Chuntao ran to Tong Zhenshan, as if he had been wronged and cried when he saw his long-lost relatives.
"I said Chun Tao, what are you crying when you see Brother Tong! Whose child is this? ......," Tong Zhenshan said with a smile.
"It's ...... This is the third sister...... It's your son! ......" Zhou Chuntao said incoherently and handed the child over.
"My son? Where's your Sanni sister? ......" Tong Zhenshan stretched out his hand to take the child, and suddenly there was a bad omen.
"My third sister...... My third sister...... Woo......" Zhou Chuntao choked a few words, and actually covered his face and cried.
Tong Zhenshan had already realized what was happening. His face was pale, but it was not good to force Zhou Chuntao to continue. At this time, Zhang Jiying, an instructor who had just rushed over, said to Wang Rongfu: "Lao Wang, what the hell is going on?" ……”
Wang Rongfu sighed, shook his head and said, "Alas...... The war zone chief is gone! The war zone chief is gone! ……”
Tong Zhenshan heard Wang Rongfu say this, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. Wang Rongfu and Zhang Jiying put Tongzhen Mountain on a stone and sat down, and then they spoke: "At night, Secretary Jiang of the District Committee of the Third District of Ye County is here. Oh, my mother-in-law, Secretary Jiang made it like a flower child. I gave him a bowl of water and a sweet potato, and then I started talking with tears and snot. It is said that the little Japanese devil has a 'Asai squadron' that has caused a big sin in Zhou Village! ……”
Wang Rongfu then recounted the atrocities committed by the "shallow well squadron" in Zhoucun as mentioned by Secretary Jiang of the Third District Party Committee of Ye County. I only heard that Zhang Jiying and a few soldiers of the Eighth Route Army beside him were stunned. Wang Rongfu finally said: "Secretary Jiang said that Commander Xu of the Jiaodong Military Region has issued a death order, and strictly ordered that the 'Shallow Well Squadron' should not be allowed to return to Liaodong. Which unit let go of the 'Asai squadron' alone, and the chief officer raised his head to see him! Secretary Jiang also said that when he saw an Eighth Route Army, he would also tell him Commander Xu's orders......"
Zhang Jiying was furious and yelled: "Where did this 'shallow well squadron' that is not beaten by people go? ……”
Wang Rongfu gritted his teeth and said, "Hehe...... Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, only to arrive early or late. Secretary Jiang also said that the 'Asai Squadron' is coming here, and Section Chief Tang of the Public Security Bureau of the Jiaodong Military Region has been hanging behind with more than 20 people, and he has not been free. These people are not beaten up, probably Qi can enter the black stone ditch at noon......"
When Tong Zhenshan heard this, he stood up suddenly. Zhang Jiying yelled: "Correspondent! ……”
"Here! ......" Xia Erhu, Song Degui and other five correspondents immediately ran over.
Zhang Jiying ordered cleanly: "Inform the company commanders and instructors of the three companies to come over for a meeting immediately, there is an urgent combat mission!" Don't delay! ......" Zhang Jiying saw the five correspondents looking at the lost and depressed Tong Zhenshan, and said angrily: "Didn't you hear? ……”
"Yes! ......" Xia Erhu, Song Degui and other five correspondents guessed that something must have happened, so they turned around and ran.
The "Asai Squadron" entered the Black Stone Gully, and the snow actually stopped, and the sky cleared. Maybe it's because when the sky is clear, people's mood will be good, and Kazuo Asai, who was riding on a Toyo horse, felt that his gloomy mood for many days suddenly brightened. In order to boost morale, the executive officer of the "Asai Squadron", Inukai Goro, commanded the soldiers to sing the "Military Song of the Kwantung Army": "朝焼けの下、はるかにはるかに望む、undulating mountains and rivers、Our elite army is mighty,Allies are Yongkangning, 満載光栄, Kanto Army ......"
After singing the "Military Song of the Kwantung Army", the soldiers of the "Asai Squadron" really came to their senses. Maybe it was seeing the scenery and homesickness, Kazuo Asai smiled and talked about the snow scene of Changbai Mountain in his hometown with the "three family slaves" who followed the mount and trekked in the kneeless snow. "Three domestic slaves" are very good at slapping horses, and know that Kazuo Asai is willing to listen to the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After chatting about the snow scene of Changbai Mountain in his hometown, the "three family slaves" pulled their legs out of the snow while "snorting and panting", and then stepped on the snow, while telling the story of "Wangmei Quenching Thirst" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in which Cao Apu used clever tricks to quench the thirst of soldiers. Kazuo Asai couldn't help but laugh "haha".
Suddenly, the "three surnamed slaves" found that something was missing, pointed to the mountains on both sides and said: "Your Excellency the captain, I 々の山の尖兵はどうして��见られなくなったのか (Your Excellency the Captain, why can't we see the pioneers on the mountain)? ……”
"よ (oh)? ......" listened to the words of the "three domestic slaves", and Kazuo Asai also felt that something was wrong. He reined in his horse, took out the binoculars on his chest, and looked closely at the hills on either side of the road. Isn't it, it's really strange, just now you can still see the sharp soldiers on the mountains on both sides from time to time. Why can't I see any of them now?
"The three surnamed house slaves" saw Kazuo Asai nervous, so he comforted: "Your Excellency the captain, I am a mountain soldier who may have gone around to the other side of the mountain, so I can't see it." ……”
Kazuo Asai took off the binoculars, didn't have a good eye to look at the "three family slaves", and the mustache on his upper lip shook a few times and said, "とんでもない!" もし我々の尖兵が山に隠れていたら,同に见えないはずはない(nonsense!) If our spearhead is blocked by a mountain, it is impossible not to see it at the same time). ……”
Kazuo Asai frowned, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he secretly exclaimed in his heart. For more than a month, he has let Tubalu clean up miserably. Isn't it always said that you should be careful to sail a ship for 10,000 years, and it is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not, this is to be prepared. Kazuo Asai thought for a moment and said to the "three family slaves": "Sano, すぐにtroop advance を stop させ, 戦闘に备えた (Sano, immediately order the troops to stop advancing and prepare for battle)!" ……”
"Hello! ......" "Three family slaves" turned around and called Kojima, who was also a flag soldier, and conveyed the order of Kazuo Asai.
Kazuo Asai felt that something was wrong at this time, and it was too late to wake up to the fact that he was like a beast that had fallen into a hunter's trap. Just when the bugle island climbed a big stone on the side of the road, picked up the military horn on his waist and was about to blow it, with a crisp "pop" of shell guns and gunshots, "Di Di Da" immediately sounded on the hills on both sides...... Da Da Di ......" the rousing clarion call of the charge.
Kazuo Asai was so shocked that he jumped off the Toyo horse with his leg raised. Before his feet landed, he saw a black crow-like thing flying up on the mountains on both sides. That's a grenade! The "three house slaves" couldn't care about anything, so they pressed Kazuo Asai to the ground and lay on Kazuo Asai's body. At this moment, a volley of guns rang out, mixed with the shouts of "cluck", "coo", and "Czech" light machine guns. The gunfire did not stop, and the grenades flying all over the sky were already "booming" and "booming" in the front, back, left and right of the marching ranks of the "Asai Squadron". Coincidentally, a grenade landed on the big rock where the island was standing, and the island couldn't dodge, and with a loud "boom", the island was blown off the big rock and killed on the spot.
The "Asai squadron" was indeed well-trained. Although they were suddenly attacked by the second battalion, those two devils did not panic, but immediately went to hide and fired back. The shooters of the three "pheasant necks" and the nine "crooked handles" also quickly found their positions, set up their machine guns, and began to fire back in the face of the oncoming rain of bullets. The gunners of the nine grenadiers also reacted quite quickly, the smoke from the grenade explosion thrown by the second battalion had not yet cleared, and the shells of the first grenadiers had already been discharged. The high military quality of these individual soldiers who belonged to the Kwantung Army of Little Japan is indeed extraordinary, and it is by no means comparable to other troops.
Kazuo Asai struggled to push away the "three surnamed house slaves" on his body, and after jumping up, he pulled out the war knife given by Prince Asakanomiya, swung it vigorously to the mountain on the right, and shouted: "Inukai Executive Officer, 右の山を攻撃する Squad をLianれて行け,左の山を攻撃する Squad を连れて行け。 Onodaira Yacuo Squad と重機铳 Squad は同地で援保した (Inukai Executive,Order you to lead a squad to attack the hill on the right.,I'll take a squad to attack the hill on the left.。 Onodaira Hachicuo squad and heavy machine gun squad take cover on the spot)! ……”
"Hello! ......" Executive Inukai Goro also jumped up, waved his saber, and shouted: "Akajiri Squad が Sudden Pick してくる (Akajiri Squad Charge with Me)!" ……”
"シューズ (Charge)! シューズ! ......" Hearing Inukai's order, the two devils howled in unison and got up from behind the snow and rocks, shooting and sliding towards the mountain.
It's a pity that the will to fight is the will to fight, and the terrain is too unfavorable for the "Asai squadron". Although the mountain is not a cliff, the slope of the right side of the hill is 45 degrees, and the left side is even steeper, and it is about the same if not 50 degrees. With such a steep mountain and a heavy snowfall, the difficulty of attacking on the back in the strange rocks is not ordinary. Not to mention the two devils with low morale, even the godfather of the two devils, the little Japanese devils, came, and they only had to be beaten.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Jiying, the instructor of the second battalion, was standing on a big rock on the top of the hill amid the fierce gunfire, and from time to time the shells of the two devils' grenadiers exploded not far from his front and back. Zhang Jiying ignored it, he held a ghost-headed knife in his right hand, and carried a "box cannon" in his left hand, shouting loudly: "Comrades, under the mountain are the scourge of the fathers and villagers of Zhou Village, the devil who cut them with thousands of knives and cannot resolve their hatred, and the executioner who killed the head of the war zone!" What are we going to do? ……”
"Kill all these eight grandsons who exterminate humanity! Instructor, you can give the order, let's rush down and fight with them!" ......" Not far from Zhang Jiying, a soldier who had just finished shooting raised his face and shouted at Zhang Jiying.
Zhang Jiying glanced at the soldier approvingly, and then shouted: "Lu Erniu is right! Kill all these eight grandsons and take revenge on the fathers and villagers of Zhou Village! Avenge the Warzone Chief! It's the master's, so follow me down and fight with them! Doesn't the battalion commander always say that they meet on a narrow road......"
The soldiers suddenly felt their blood boiling, and followed Zhang Jiying's shout, shouting in unison: "The brave wins!" ……”
The ghost head knife in Zhang Jiying's hand waved, his tiger eyes widened, and he shouted: "Comrades, avenge the fathers and villagers of Zhou Village!" Avenge the Warzone Chief! It's the old man, just follow me! ……”
Zhang Jiying shouted and took the lead to rush down the mountain. Lu Erniu put the "Zhongzheng" rifle on his back, carrying the "shuttle dart" faster than the four communicators who followed Zhang Jiying, and the first one jumped up, and while following Zhang Jiying to rush down the mountain, he shouted: "Avenge the fathers and villagers of Zhou Village!" Avenge the Warzone Chief! It's the old man's son, so follow the instructor and kill the devil! ……”
"Avenge the fathers and villagers of Zhou Village! Avenge the Warzone Chief! Kill the devil! ......" The warriors jumped out from behind the rocks that were used as shelters, shouted loudly, and rushed down the hill with the instructor.
