Independence Corps

Chapter 50 Before Dawn (2)
Half an hour later, the Japanese army erected two long poles at the base camp of Yingzui.About [-] devil soldiers guarded there, not long after, Miyata, surrounded by Zhuyasu and others, came down to the pole.Miyata looked up at the sky, the sky was so blue that it was intoxicatingly blue, and the sky was clear without a cloud.The sun shone brightly on the eagle's beak, and also on this empty field.

"Commander, it's getting late, do you want to start?" Zhu Kang asked impatiently, bowing his waist.

Miyata withdrew his gaze towards the blue sky, said "Yoxi", and turned his gaze to the row of dilapidated bungalows on the west side of the site.

Zhu Kang waved to the guard at the bungalow, and shouted at the same time: "Bring it up!"

The door leaf of a house squeaked, and two guards came towards this side twisting the heavily tied Fourth Girl Moth. She became emaciated a lot, she couldn't even move her legs, and the ghost soldiers dragged her away, Fourth Miss Xiao Mo's knees hit the ground, two blood trails were clearly visible under the sun.

Miyata looked at Xiao Mo coldly, and said in his heart: "Cangye Jun, I don't need to torture you, but I have to torture her. I want to hang her up so that Tu Lanlong in the distance can see it, and let Miliangcheng All the Chinese people in China have seen it. If you want not to be punished, you should obediently come out and surrender.”

"Hang her up for me!" Miyata slammed the knife in his hand and yelled hysterically.

Zhu Kang rushed over, and tied the noose that had already been fastened around the waist of Fourth Miss Moth. The devils pulled hard, and Fourth Miss Little Moth was hoisted up to the sky in a dangling manner.

The sky is very blue, and there is indeed no cloud in the blue sky.

Fourth Girl's hair spread out in the sky, like a black cloud, fluttering and fluttering.The blood from the corner of the mouth dripped down, one drop, two drops, three drops, gathered together and hit the ground.The earth trembled with pain.

"Hahahaha." Looking at the pained look of the fourth girl Xiaomo, Miyata burst out into a wave of laughter.

"Hahahaha." All the ghost soldiers laughed, and the laughter floated over the eagle's mouth, over the Huanghuagang, trembled a few times over the daughter river, and flew to Miliang City and Meiyuan.

In the plum garden, Tu Lanlong's complexion was iron.

He didn't expect, he really didn't expect that Yan would be so ruthless and vicious.No, it's shameless, it's despicable!
Yuan Jie stared at him motionlessly, and she told him everything, including Yan Xishan planting Chi Danian and other eyeliners under his nose, and asking Chi Danian to win over her husband Ruan Xiaoliu.She also took out a secret order, which was written by Yan Xishan to Chi Danian, and if necessary, Tu Lanlong could be killed by extraordinary means!

Chi Danian was in the 11th Army, and his position was very low. He was just a major staff officer, but he had a very famous name in the Chief's Department - Tie Ying.

Zhao Shiming's visit to Miliang was the result of Chi Danian's telling the secret to the minister's department. Zhao Shiming was secretly executed within three days after returning.

Zhu Hongda went to Taiyuan to rescue Tiao Tiao's mother and daughter, and it was also Chi Danian's secret. The Minister's Ministry sent people to follow Zhu Hongda all the way, and finally borrowed the hands of the Japanese to kill him by the railway.Along with Zhu Hongda, there were more than a dozen brothers from the national army in Taiyuan.

"Brother-in-law, don't hesitate any longer. You should have seen Yan Xishan's face clearly a long time ago. You are still so loyal to him." Yuan Jietong said.

Tu Lanlong didn't seem to hear it, he was thinking about the past with Yan Xishan scene by scene, thinking about his days in the 24th Division, he didn't feel that he could not feel sorry for this Chief Yan.Why was he able to do such a vicious job? Is it just because of Mi Liangshan and the family business he created for his adoptive father?
On Eagle's mouth side, Miyata was still standing under the sun, the sun was scorching hot, Miyata was already sweating, but he didn't feel hot at all, let alone tired.He was too interested in doing it.Hanging up a four-girl moth was not enough, so he asked Zhukang to invite Masao Kurano and He Xiuzi, and asked with a smile: "There is still a pole, which of you two will go up?"

Kurano didn't drink that day, and he is no longer qualified to drink any more. Anyone who provided him with alcohol has been imprisoned in a dark room by Miyata, and is being punished according to the punishment method of the imperial army.Kurano, who didn't drink, doesn't look like a down-and-out person, let alone a person without fighting spirit, he looks like a fighter no matter what.It's a pity that this fighter betrayed the Bushido spirit of the Great Japanese Empire. He was bought by the Chinese and worked for the Chinese.

What an absurd and terrible thing this is!
Is it because he has lived on the land of the Chinese, is it because he has drank the water from the Naughty River and eaten the grain from the Rice Grain Mountain, but the blood of the great Japanese nation is shed on his body!
Miyata looked at Masao Kurano's face in great perplexity, unexpectedly there was no ferocity or viciousness in this look, but there was only bewilderment and a trace of regret.

Masao Kurano straightened his skirt. On this day, he deliberately put on the suit he wore when he was a teacher in Japan. He remembered that this suit was made for him by He Xiuzi's mother himself.He glanced at He Xiuzi calmly, and there seemed to be no apology or regret in his eyes.He took a step forward, stood in front of the pole, stretched out his hands, and signaled Zhukang to tie him up.

"No, Kurano-kun, it would be a pity if you go up. This "jihad" is over, and you have to train more students for the Japanese nation. I can't bear to let you go so early." Miyata said, Cast ambiguous eyes on He Xiuzi.

How did he never doubt her?

What a wonderful woman this is. She has all the advantages of Japanese women. For such a long time, Miyata is reluctant to touch her.The women around him, whether they were doctors or nurses, whether they were military prostitutes or secret agents, he never let go of them. He Xiuzi alone maintained the gentlemanly demeanor a man should have.But why would she betray him, the emperor, and the nation of Japan?

"Miss He Xiuzi, you acted really well. You deceived everyone. Your acting skills are so beautiful. But you lost, come on!" Miyata suddenly turned his head and shouted at Zhukang, "give her to me Hang up!"

Miss He Xiuzi had just been hoisted up, when suddenly there was a gunshot from the direction of Shiziling in the north.The leader of the devil squad who was guarding the periphery ran in in a panic: "Report to the commander, the enemy has broken through."

"Eight—ga—" Miyata turned around viciously, and raised the knife in his hand. How much he didn't want to hear gunfire at this time. For this reason, he ordered his troops not to fight today.Unexpectedly, Tan Weiming, who was trapped in Shiziling, would take this opportunity to break out.

"Tan Weiming, I will make it hard for you to fly!"

The gunshots at Shiziling were not fired by Tan Weiming.Tan Weiming was also confused at first, thinking that the deputy commander Zhuang Guoxiong had sent reinforcements, but later he discovered that it was Bai Jianjiang who came in from the valley on the east side.

Bai Jianjiang's trip this time can be said to be single-handed, killing countless enemies.

That day when he saw Miyata's team in Laoyatai, he turned his horse's head and ran towards Miliang.As he was running, Bai Jianjiang suddenly became suspicious, what am I doing out here, I am saving Miss Si, Xiao Mo, the shadow of Miss Si has not been seen yet, so I just go back, am I Bai Jianjiang or Bai Jianjiang?

No, I have to save her, my woman Bai Jianjiang will die with me.

So, he turned his horse's head again, Bai Jianjiang didn't dare to go on the main road, and the devil soldiers were mighty, just bumped into him like this, and he was afraid that he would become cannon fodder if he couldn't get to him.He took the trail, bypassed the ghost soldiers, and passed through another ravine. Before dark, Bai Jianjiang rushed to Qiao's village.When he was young, Bai Jianjiang followed his father and came to Qiao's Village several times. He still has some memories of Qiao's Village.Unexpectedly, after tying up the horse and sneaking into the village, Bai Jianjiang was stunned by the sight in front of him.

The devils washed Qiao's village with blood!
In a village of thousands of people, the little devil killed not even a single chicken, and the village was littered with corpses and blood flowed like rivers.The houses of several wealthy families were still burning ragingly, and dozens of corpses of women and children were floating in the old river in the east of the village.Bai Jianjiang couldn't believe everything in front of him. He half-kneeled by the old river for a long time, then got up suddenly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hat, and uttered two words: Miyata.Then jump on the horse and chase forward along the road.

When he was approaching Liu's village, Bai Jianjiang heard gunshots. He reined in his horse, listened carefully, and determined that the gunshots came from Dashagou.Thinking of those five girls and the middle-aged man, Bai Jianjiang ran towards Dashagou without hesitation.As soon as they entered Dashagou, they met Sandangzi and Gousheng who ran out of the ditch in a hurry.

Seeing Bai Jianjiang, Sandangzi ran over and said, "The devil captured them again, and Brother Si Zhu also let the devil pick them up with a bayonet."

Sizhu is the middle-aged man.

"Where did the devil go now?" Bai Jianjiang jumped off his horse and asked.

"The devil took five girls and headed towards Miliang. This time, he might have joined Miyata's large army. We fought the devil in the ditch all night, and we ran out of bullets. The six brothers are gone. .”

"Are there any ghosts in the village?"

"I don't know. After you left, we have been in the ditch. The devil sent three small teams to arrest people, and we held back one."

"Go, take a look!"

Bai Jianjiang and the others re-entered the Liu family village, just in time for the little devils to gather the whole village to the threshing field behind Liu Laocai's house.Bai Jianjiang thought to himself, the scene at Qiao's Village is about to happen again, and the inhuman devils have started to "three lights"!

Bai Jianjiang looked carefully, and there were not many devils left in the village, only about one row.He discussed with Gousheng and Sandangzi for a while, determined to wipe out this group of devils first, and rescue the young and old in the village. After 10 minutes, they sneaked into the village.According to the division of labor, Sandangzi mixed into the crowd and told the villagers not to panic and to listen to him.Bai Jianjiang and Gousheng split up and went into the houses where the devil lived to find guns, and the other two stayed in the east of the village to help.

Bai Jianjiang was very lucky. The house he touched happened to be the place where the leader of the devil squad lived. The devil put a lot of ammunition and grenades here.The devils were busy gathering people in the village, and only one devil was left guarding the house.Bai Jianjiang took care of that devil with almost no trouble.Looking at the boxes of grenades and grenades, Bai Jianjiang was in full bloom.Relying on his own strength, he stuffed all the pockets on his shoulders, neck, and body where he could.While stuffing it, he muttered: "Damn it, I will let you kill innocent people, and I will let you 'sanguang'. If I don't clean you up today, I, Bai Jianjiang, will not go back to Miliang Mountain!"

Gou Sheng was even more lucky than him, not only got the grenade, but also got a crooked sub-machine gun.After Gousheng got his hands, he slipped out of the village, just in time to catch up with Xiaojie, the devil's machine gunner, who was whistling while urinating.The whistle attracted Gousheng, and Gousheng hid the booty in his arms under the haystack, touched it quietly, and said "hey".As soon as the little devil turned his head, the dog's leftover knife pierced it in. The devil fell into the ditch without even groaning.Gousheng chuckled, this was the first crooked stick he got, he was so rare that he almost forgot the loot hidden in the haystack.

The attack started when it was dark, and Gou Sheng wanted to wait, saying that it would be best to attack after dark.Bai Jianjiang was worried that the devils would really use machine guns to wipe out the crowd on the wheat field. Later, he learned that the devils gathered the crowd on the wheat field not to wipe them all out, but to force them to tell the whereabouts of the remaining dogs. .The devils believe that Gousheng is the eighth way, and the devil's usual way of dealing with the eighth way is to gather the masses and let them explain.The devil never expected that Bai Jianjiang and Gousheng had already dug a trap for them when they were interrogating the young and old in the wheat field one by one.

Gunshots rang out from three directions, and the shots were dense and urgent. The devils on the wheat field panicked, thinking that the Eighth Route Army had surrounded the village.The bearded team leader held up a knife and shouted Japanese incomprehensible to the people of Liujiazhai, ordering his men to rush out.Which of the ghost soldiers under him dares to charge?The ghost soldiers shrank behind the crowd, holding guns to force the Liujiazhai people to move forward.At this moment, Gou Sheng rushed over from behind with a machine gun in his hand. The devil became more panicked, turned his gun, and shot randomly at Gou Sheng's hiding place.Sandangzi, who was lurking in the crowd, saw the opportunity coming, and shouted: "Masters, young and old, let's fight the devils!"

So, the people from Liujiazhai gathered in the wheat field raised their fists, lifted stones, and rushed towards the devil.The wheat field fell into chaos for a while, several villagers were pierced through the stomach by the devil's bayonet, and more villagers rushed forward.

Two hours later, when the battle was over, Bai Jianjiang made an inventory. The 26 devils who remained in Liujiazhai were all killed, five villagers died, and several villagers were injured.Bai Jianjiang asked Gousheng and Sandangzi to clean up the battlefield, and hurried to the rice grain.When Gousheng heard about it, he insisted on coming with him, and Sandangzi didn't want to stay. An old man in the village stood up and said, "Take them with you. One more person will give you one more gun. If Miliang City is lost, we Liu The family village can't be kept either."

Bai Jianjiang took Gousheng and Sandangzi with him, and set off on the road overnight.As soon as he was on the road, the fourth girl's little moth appeared in front of Bai Jianjiang's eyes.He thought to himself, the little moth probably died, and the whole village of Qiaojiazhuang was killed by the devils, so it is impossible for the little moth to survive.Later, he thought, Xiao Moth might already be in Miyata's hands, and Miyata spent so much effort in catching her, it was impossible to kill her.

Thinking that the little moth might still be alive, Bai Jianjiang's energy increased a lot, and he kept urging Sandangzi and Gousheng to hurry up.

From Liujiazhai to Shiziling, Bai Jianjiang walked very hard. When they arrived at Feng's house, they encountered the defeat of Gong Hanxiang's brigade.That was the scene that Bai Jianjiang didn't want to see the last time, but he just saw it.The devil's artillery blocked the entire Feng's family, and the surrounding area of ​​Feng's family was also shrouded in smoke, with bullets flying across.I have to admit that Gong Han Xianglv has withstood the greatest test, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.The Guojun brothers fled into the ravine while fighting. If they couldn't escape, they drew out their bayonets and fought hand-to-hand with the devils.The devils invested more than three times as many soldiers as Gong Hanxiang in Feng's family. After the mountain was lost, the devils blocked all the mountain roads, leaving only a small ditch for the national army brothers to run.As soon as the Guojun brothers ran to the bottom of the ditch, the devil's shells fell.In the woods on both sides, the devil's machine gunners fired at close range, and the corpses of the national army brothers made a layer.Bai Jianjiang climbed over a rocky cliff with the remaining dogs, and suppressed the artillery fire in the woods with a machine gun, which gave the national army brothers at the bottom of the ditch a chance to escape.But the good times didn't last long, a group of devils came around from behind them and quickly took control of Shiya. If Bai Jianjiang hadn't discovered it in time, their lives might have been lost on Shiya long ago.

Another day and night passed, and the gunshots from Feng's family gradually faded away. Bai Jianjiang counted the escaped national army brothers, and there were less than 100 of them.Gong Hanxiang was heroic, his guards and adjutants all died beside him.A brother from the national army cried and described the scene to Bai Jianjiang. Bai Jianjiang said: "Forget it, it is common to fight to the death. This is only a brigade or a division. It is not surprising that our artillery is not as good as the little devils." of it."

After a brief rest, Bai Jianjiang asked them, "Do you want to continue beating devils or throw down your gun and leave?"

"Let's go, where are we going?" the brother from the national army who was crying and complaining just now asked him with a blank face.

Bai Jianjiang also said in a daze: "I don't know where to go, anyone can go wherever they want, as long as they can get out alive."

"We're not leaving." The Guojun brothers already knew that he was the deputy commander of the 72nd Regiment, and the Guojun brothers still knew his and Shen Mengzi's names.

"Let us fight the devils, we want to avenge the brigade commander." The brother from the national army who had cried grabbed his hand and said that he rescued these people and that his lives belonged to him.Bai Jianjiang asked: "Which official among you is the biggest?"

The brother from the national army glanced at him and said in a low voice: "I am the company commander, and I am the most senior among them."

"That's good," Bai Jianjiang patted him on the shoulder, "Now you are their leader, you tell them, those who want to beat the devils stay, those who don't want to go south from the opposite ravine, cross the ridge, You can see a prairie, and if you cross the prairie, you can live."

Brother Guojun jumped on a rock, and the brothers who escaped repeated Bai Jianjiang's words. There were nearly a hundred brothers, and none of them wanted to leave. They all shouted to beat the devils.Bai Jianjiang was moved, jumped on another stone, and said: "I am Bai Jianjiang, the deputy head of the 72nd regiment. My hometown is in Miliang City. I am the son of Bai Laoheng, a blacksmith. Brothers, if you don't care about me, I am the 18th Army Yes, you want to follow me to fight the devils, so cheer up now." At this point, he lowered his head and asked the company commander, "What's your name?"

"My name is Sun Changgen!"

"Okay, now I announce that Sun Changgen will succeed Gong Hanxiang as your brigade commander. You are still a brigade. Even though your brigade has less than 100 people, in the eyes of the devils, you are still a complete brigade. Do you understand?"

The Guojun brothers didn't seem to understand what he said, some nodded and more shook their heads.When Sun Changgen heard that he was being asked to be the brigade commander, he was terrified and said: "No way, no way, you should be the brigade commander, we just follow you."

"What nonsense, I am the deputy head of the 72nd regiment, don't you want to avenge Brigadier Gong and the dead brother?"

"miss you!"

"That's good, the brigade commander died in battle, the regiment commander died in battle, the regiment commander died in battle, the battalion commander died in battle, you come to replace him! Whether it is the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, this is an iron law. If you don't become the brigade commander , I shot you to pieces, shall I?"

"when."

"louder please!"

"Dang!" Sun Changgen finally realized that Bai Jianjiang didn't ask him to be an official, but asked him to gather the broken hearts of his brothers together!

"Do you listen to Brigadier Sun?" Bai Jianjiang asked the other brothers.

After what he said, those who didn't understand it just now now understand it all. As long as they can fight devils, it doesn't matter who is the brigade commander. The brothers will never fight at this time.They said in unison: "Listen!"

"Pack up the guys and follow me!"

Bai Jianjiang led the gangsters straight across the mountain, thinking that he could take a shortcut to Miliang City, but he encountered another fierce battle in the Confucius Temple.Later, he organized the brothers from the national army who had escaped from Confucius Temple, and appointed a deputy battalion commander surnamed Deng to replace Huang Can.In this way, the two brigades sent by Tan Weiming came into Bai Jianjiang's hands in this weird way, but even if the two brigades were added up, not even one battalion had more people.
