Chapter 192: There is hope to be alive
This approach is not advisable on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the hand-to-hand combat, fight to the death, whoever exhausts his strength first is a sheep to be slaughtered.
Fortunately, this is not a battlefield, this is a night attack.
More than a dozen Japanese devils, the vast majority of Japanese soldiers died under Xia Yuan's bayonets, and a few Japanese devils who escaped were caught up by Ali and slashed indiscriminately.
At the end of the battle, Ali was panting, his eyes were blood-red, and his face was covered with blood droplets and blood marks, looking very hideous.
Xia Yuan's face was not red, his heartbeat was steady, and when he came to the woman's side, he saw that the woman's hair was scattered, her eyes were numb and sluggish, and the tears in her empty eyes flowed silently, and she was in a mess.
He sighed, took off his military coat, covered the woman's body, and turned to start cleaning the battlefield.
Feeling the residual warmth of the military coat, the woman raised her head, and her eyes returned to some color.
Seeing the dead Japanese devil on the ground on the side, she struggled to get up, grabbed the gun with a bayonet that fell on the ground, and poked it fiercely at the Japanese devil's corpse.
Chen Wenhua ran over with Zhou Xiaoli and Chen Juan, and was startled when he saw the woman with her hair scattered, half naked and her lower body stained with blood.
The three of them wanted to go up to stop them, but Xia Yuan stopped them, threw the cans and kettles to them, turned to look at the woman, and said, "Let her vent, vent, and feel better." ”
Chen Wenhua sighed and said to Chen Juan and Zhou Xiaoli, "You two go find some clothes and put them on for her." ”
"Hey."
The two women nodded.
Chen Wenhua followed Xia Yuan to clean up the battlefield.
The little Japanese devils in a class have a lot of supplies, especially on the bonfire, there is actually half a fan of pork smoked, and they found another half of the raw pork in the camp of the Japanese devils.
"Set it on the fire and roast it."
"The Japanese devils won't come." Chen Wenhua was a little worried.
It takes a certain amount of time to roast these porks.
"No, this Japanese devil scout is here to patrol this area, and since they have them, the Japanese devils will not send troops over."
Xia Yuan knows Japanese devils very well.
During the whole night attack, the Japanese devils did not shoot, and the hunting speed was very fast, only two Japanese devils saw that the situation was wrong and fled, but they were all chased back by Ali.
Xia Yuan was not worried.
Chen Wenhua and Ah Li were relatively worried, thinking that Xia Yuan was here, their hearts settled down a little, and they put the remaining half of the pork on the fire to smoke and roast.
Chen Wenhua went to the ruins of the houses on both sides, looking for firewood, just found a lot of firewood, and was about to rush back, when he heard Chen Juan's scream, and he didn't care about the firewood in his hand, so he threw it on the ground and ran to the Japanese devil camp.
"What's wrong, what's wrong."
When he arrived, he found that the woman they had rescued was already dressed and lying on the ground crying.
Chen Juan and Zhou Xiaoli were frightened and stood aside.
Xia Yuan held the bayonet and looked calm: "It's not too much of a problem." ”
Chen Wenhua looked at the woman, then looked at the bayonet in Xia Yuan's hand, vaguely guessed something, and said: "I know you have been wronged, but we have to live strongly, only by living, can there be hope, don't you want to seek revenge from the Japanese devils?" Are you just going to die? Dead, there is nothing, but alive, you can still kill the Japanese devils with your own hands. ”
He pointed at Xia Yuan: "This is to save you, you should see it, he is very powerful, you can follow him to learn the skills of killing Japanese devils." ”
When the woman heard Chen Wenhua's words, she stopped crying, her face showed dazed and confused, and then she was replaced by firmness.
She looked up, revealing a face that was black from the bottom of the pot.
She probably thinks that as long as she paints her face ugly, the Japanese devils will let her go.
But she never thought that the Japanese devil would not even let go of an eighty-year-old man, how could he let her go? This group of brutes only recognizes that they are women, even if their faces are disfigured, this group of brutes will not let go.
"I will teach you the skills of killing Japanese devils, only by living can there be hope, in order to kill Japanese devils, for you, for those who died." Xia Yuan dragged her up and said, "You are dead, once you are gone, the Japanese devils are still alive and chic, they can live for decades, do you think it is really worth it for you to commit suicide now?" ”
The woman didn't speak, but she recognized Xia Yuan and Chen Wenhua's words, and slowly shook her head.
"That's right, girl, I followed my brother far away and killed four Japanese devils, you can also kill Japanese devils." Ali walked over, his kitchen knife had been curled in the battle just now, and he threw it away and replaced it with a Japanese devil's rifle with a bayonet stuck in the rifle.
Xia Yuan handed her the gun and said, "To kill the Japanese devil, you have to use this, it's so cold outside, Xiaoli, Xiaojuan, you take her back first and bring the kettle." ”
"Hey."
The two women nodded.
"Don't think about it anymore, there is hope in life." Xia Yuan said.
"Yes, sister, there is hope when you are alive, and when you die, there is nothing." Chen Juan chimed in.
The woman took the rifle handed over by Xia Yuan, wiped away the tears on her face, and nodded vigorously.
He said in a hoarse voice, "I know, thank you for saving me." ”
"It's all Chinese." Zhou Xiaoli said with a smile, hanging the kettle on her body, "Sister, let's go first." ”
Chen Juan carried several rifles.
The woman looked at the guns and ammunition scattered on the ground, picked up some and put them on her body, and limped to follow the two women in the direction of the church.
In front of the bonfire, Xia Yuan roasted the fire and smeared a layer of oil on the skin of the pork, "There are many women like her who have been insulted by Japanese devils in Jinling City, and there are unimaginable numbers. They do not spare girls under the age of 10 or elderly people over the age of 60, but if it is a woman, they will take it away. ”
Chen Wenhua clenched his fists vigorously and scolded: "This group of beasts! ”
"We have limited power, and we can only save what we encounter." Xia Yuan sighed helplessly.
Even he, in this world, feels deeply powerless, let alone the other people in Jinling City, as well as those who were captured by the Japanese devils.
How desperate that must be.
The pork was bubbling with a fragrant smell, but the three of them had no appetite, and a layer of haze shrouded Chen Wenhua and Ali's heads.
They hid in the cellar for a long time, only knowing that the Japanese devils were killing people everywhere, and they did not know what inhuman torture women would suffer if they fell into the hands of the Japanese devils.
Xia Yuan told them about the women who had been tortured to death in Jinling City, and the two of them were furious when they heard it.
Kind-hearted people, they have lived most of their lives, they are working hard for life, and they have only seen the ugliness of human nature in a peaceful life, and they have seen those high-ranking officials and nobles oppressing some ordinary people.
But they have long been accustomed to it, and they have all come back to life from the feudal era.
That kind of exploitation and oppression has made them see human nature.
But I saw a hundred times uglier humanity in Japanese devils.
", these brutes." Ali scolded and hated the Japanese devil to the core. Followed by a period of weakness, his family had long been separated from him, and now he could not be found, whether his family was safe or not, all this was unknown.
He hated the ferocity of the Japanese devils, and he was worried that his family would be killed by the Japanese devils.
Ali's heart was quite painful.
Chen Wenhua patted Ali's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they'll be fine." ”
Ali raised his head: "I'm going to kill more Japanese devils!" ”
Xia Yuan turned the pork over and said, "Yes, I will let you kill more Japanese devils, kill more Japanese devils." ”
Ali didn't speak, his grip on the rifle clenched hard.
It takes a long time to cook half of the pork, and after brushing a layer of oil, you don't need to brush the oil again.
Xia Yuan used a knife to cut a series of openings on the pork, so that the hot oil on the surface of the pork could flow into the mouth and complete the smoking and roasting of the pork.
He's going to hurry.
The three of them sat around the campfire, a rare moment of warmth.
The pork was also very well smoked, and after three or four hours, the sky became darker and darker, and the five fingers could barely be reached outside the campfire, and the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds.
Ali lay asleep beside the bonfire, Chen Wenhua and Xia Yuan had a ride, chatting about the sky without a match, chatting about interesting things in the north and south of the world, piling up a lot of firewood around him, Chen Wenhua took out one from time to time and threw it in the fire.
"You said you fought with Japanese devils in Songhu before?"
"Hmm."
"Do you know the Songhu God of War?"
"Who?"
"The god of war in Songhu, also when he fought in Songhu, the character who came out was very powerful, the newspaper said that he could resist an army alone, and he was a genius in the army, and even Jiang issued a statement praising the merits of the god of war in Songhu."
Chen Wenhua sighed and said, "However, he should be dead." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"It's been a long time since I've heard from him, and everyone is spreading that he's dead, dead under the shelling of the Japanese devils."
Chen Wenhua said very regretfully: "It's a pity, such a talent died at the gunpoint of the Japanese devil, many people worship him, he is very powerful, and he is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of many people." ”
He asked Xia Yuan: "Haven't you heard of his deeds in the army?" ”
Xia Yuan groaned slightly: "I've heard it." ”
Chen Wenhua asked: "Are there many people who worship him?" ”
Xia Yuan shook his head: "I don't know much about this, it should be." ”
Chen Wenhua felt a little strange: "You are a soldier, how can you not know it, the people of the whole country should know about this matter." ”
Xia Yuan didn't speak, Songhu God of War, that was talking about himself, he really hadn't seen the madness of the troops seeing him, because there were not many troops led by him, and Commander Tang and the others had not yet brought themselves up, Jinling was already in danger, and now, it is estimated that they had already fled for their lives and forgot about themselves.
Xia Yuan didn't dwell on it so much, he came all the way from Changjin Lake, and more time he acted alone, or with a few people.
His own ability is too strong, and he shows it, and many times the tasks he performs are blocking tasks.
In most of these missions, a small number of troops are used to face the majority of the enemy's troops, and the enemy's firepower is far superior to that of the troops under his own leadership.
In most cases, the participating blocking forces were annihilated by the enemy, and although the mission was completed, few survived.
In the habit, there is a bitterness.
In every blocking battle, the enemy was successfully blocked, but the casualties on themselves were too great, and there was no blocking battle, and the casualties were small.
Xia Yuan had long been accustomed to it.
The bonfire burned, crackling, the smell of barbecue spread in the air, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and only a vague outline could be seen in the ruined buildings.
The pork was almost smoked and roasted, and after cooling on the side, Xia Yuan carried half of the fan, and Chen Wenhua and Ali carried half of the fan.
After returning to the cellar, Xia Yuan went out again to erase the traces they left in the courtyard.
The Japanese devils are not stupid, their footsteps left behind by stepping on the ground are too clear, and when they see this series of steps, the Japanese can realize that there must be people hiding in the church.
In order to confuse the Japanese soldiers, he left messy footprints in the opposite direction of the church, and then stepped on the gravel, climbed over into the church, and swept the traces with tree branches.
Xia Yuan and his party had been in the cellar long enough, and many times, they had already forgotten the time.
Xia Yuan did not stop retaliating against the Japanese army, and in the next few days, he took Ali out of the cellar at night, went out to attack the Japanese army at night, and returned safely when it was almost dawn.
The cellar was full of trophies they had captured, and even some small valuable artifacts that they had found on trucks, and there were many more that they could not take with them, only some ornaments that looked quite elaborate.
Xia Yuan didn't know the value of these things.
Something that can be valued by the Japanese and placed with a lot of valuable cultural relics is sure to be extraordinary.
The Jinling Massacre lasted for months, but the worst atrocities were concentrated in the first 6-8 weeks.
It was not until the spring of 1938 that the citizens of Jinling knew that the Jinling Massacre had ended, and although Jinling was still under the occupation of the Japanese army, the Japanese army would not kill them all, so some people came back one after another.
As Jinling fell into the hands of the Japanese rulers, the Japanese army began to take measures to try to subdue the people of Jinling City.
It's a pity that the number of people left behind is very small, and there are not many things to conquer in Jinling City, such as books, valuable cultural relics, furniture, gold, silver and jewelry, which have long been pulled away by the Japanese army and pulled back to China.
A foreigner living in Jinling once wrote: It is hard to imagine the extent of the destruction of the city, which is littered with dirt and garbage of all kinds.
People let garbage and corpses pile up and rot in the streets, because nothing can be done without the permission of the Japanese, even the disposal of such garbage and corpses.
In fact, Japanese military vehicles drove over the pile of corpses several feet thick under the Rujiang Gate, and they wanted to show the people of Jinling the tragic end of the resistance by crushing the piled corpses.
Set an example.
However, there are still a small group of people who, when night falls, turn into death and harvest the lives of Japanese soldiers.
The most representative of these is the Grim Reaper near Zhongshan Road.
The vicinity of Zhongshan Road was even known as an area where Japanese military squad units were forbidden to be stationed.
