Independence Corps

Chapter 53 The Jedi Counterattack (1)
The field at Eagle's Mouth was very quiet, the night was frighteningly deep, there was no sound around, the wind was still, and the earth seemed to be asleep, bringing a strange silence to people.

Bai Jianjiang and the others came to a brick kiln after dark, and all 42 brothers followed.Gousheng and Sandangzi didn't have the slightest sense of fear, and their hearts were full of wonderful curiosity.Fighting wars is really enjoyable, far more exciting than growing crops in the field.Bai Jianjiang reminded them again and again that this trip would be more or less auspicious, and they were asked to prepare for the worst.Gousheng didn't care about it. From Liujiazhai to Laoyingzui, Gousheng experienced victory. He felt that beating devils was not as scary as in the legend. It was quite enjoyable. Many people died, but the corpses left by the devils more.In contrast, the victory is still on Bai Jianjiang's side.Furthermore, Gousheng and the others are familiar with the terrain, and they can tell where to hide and where to cross mountains, just look up.Miliang Mountain is vast and vast, with ditch after ditch, and mountains after mountains.At first glance, any ditch is the same, and the mountain bag is also very similar to the mountain bag.But there are many mysteries in it.Some ravines can survive, while others are pits dug for you by God, you don’t want to come out again after entering.Also, in the area around Eagle's Mouth, the mountain terrain is very strange. Two ditches are clearly next to each other. As you walk, the ditch next to you will be far away from you.That's why the devils messed up the phalanx in this area, unable to look after the head and tail, and couldn't find the head after the tail.

It is easy to touch the brick kiln, but there are mountains and trees covering it, even if the devils find out, it is difficult to eliminate them easily.It will be difficult to move forward in front of the brick kiln.The surroundings suddenly became empty, the trees were sparse, and the mountain slowed down.The only thing that can cover the body is the five or six-hole waste brick kiln.But the waste brick kiln is the most resistant to bombing. Once it is fired, it will betray you. Not only will it betray you, but it will kill you if it fails.

Bai Jianjiang held his breath, his eyes fixed on the dirt field.Bai Jianjiang discovered that at some point there was another pole on the dirt field, and there was another person on it.How many people did Miyata arrest? Could it be that he was going to hang all five girls?Bai Jianjiang was thinking wildly and calculating, how can he approach the dirt field quickly and accurately, and how can he lower the pole and rescue people?The earth field is about two kilometers away from the brick kiln, and there are no obstacles in the middle. It is obviously not possible to force it. The devils must be prepared. Even with two machine guns, the 42 people will be swept to pieces.Therefore, you can only outsmart!

Bai Jianjiang observed carefully for a while, and suddenly found that another brick kiln diagonally opposite happened to be connected to a trail. Needless to say, the trail was stepped on by people from Miliang City. Most of the people who worked in the brick kiln were Miliang people. , just stepped on such a trail.Bai Jianjiang stared at the path for a long time, and suddenly had an idea.

He called Sun Changgen to him, and said in a low voice, "Take the brothers over there, can you see the kiln on the opposite side? When you get to the front, shoot, retreat while shooting, follow the path, After crossing the mountain bend and fighting for a while, it is estimated that it will be no problem to resist the devils for an hour, and after an hour, you will retreat, retreating more than three miles from the path, and hiding will be much easier."

"What about you, where are you going?" Sun Changgen asked.

"This is not nonsense, where else can I go, save people!"

"Let's go together." Sun Changgen almost begged him.

"Go together, who will cover me?" A smile flashed across Bai Jianjiang's face. This was the first time he smiled after coming out of Shiziling. Even though the night was very dark, Sun Changgen still saw the forced smile.No, there was a layer of tragedy in that smile!
As soon as Sun Changgen started the attack, Bai Jianjiang rushed out with Gousheng and Sandangzi. Strangely, they didn't encounter any obstacles from the brick kiln to the earthen yard, and the attack went surprisingly smoothly.It seems that in the blink of an eye, they came from the brick kiln to the earthen yard.Sun Changgen's side was even more strange. They fired shots in the direction of the dirt field, but no one responded, and no one ran out of the night. It seemed that there was no one else in this world except them.The gunshots rang out for more than ten minutes, but no devil came out yet. Sun Changgen wondered, could it be that the little devil slipped away?
As soon as the brothers were ordered to cease fire, thousands of devils popped up all around, three layers inside and three layers outside, and surrounded them tightly.Sun Changgen yelled inwardly that it was not good, the devils had already set up an ambush, waiting for them to jump into the trap.All of a sudden, there was loud gunshots in the mountains and fields, and bullets flew like rain.The leader of the Devil Squadron stood 200 meters away from him, yelling, and the little devil who had been waiting for a long time saw that there were only a dozen or so people, and rushed towards them screaming wildly.Sun Changgen raised his submachine gun and charged at the devils in front of them, but the devils didn't care at all, and rushed towards them shouting while shooting.Bullets flew from four directions, and the brothers around Sun Changgen were thrown over by the devil like sheaves of wheat. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen brothers were gone.Sun Changgen was in a hurry, and wanted to break out from the side path, the devil would not give him a chance.From the shooting to the end of the battle, Sun Changgen fought for less than 10 minutes. He was shot seven times in the back, and a large hole was swept out in his chest by the devil's machine gun. He held on, trying to finish the bullets in the gun, but The devil's bullet was far stronger than his. Sun Changgen yelled twice in succession, one seemed to be calling for Bai Jianjiang, and the other seemed to be calling for the little soldier beside him.

The leader of the Devil Squadron said "Yo Xi", walked down from the mountain bag, and looked through the corpses of the brothers in the national army one by one.The faces of the dead national army brothers were all angry and unwilling.

Miyata came out from the closed door with a big smile on his face.At this time, Bai Jianjiang and the others were surrounded by devils.In fact, when they rushed over from the brick kiln, the devils counted their footsteps. As soon as they rushed to the dirt field, the devils around raised their guns.

"Bai Jianjiang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Miyata said while walking forward.

Bai Jianjiang stood back to back in a small triangle with Gou Sheng and Sandang Zi, and there was no fear in their eyes.

"Bai Jianjiang, put down the gun in your hand, let's talk." Miyata said in Chinese with his feet held back.

Bai Jianjiang didn't look at Miyata, his eyes were on a high place, he saw Xiaomo clearly, Xiaomo seemed to have died, her head drooped, no matter how Bai Jianjiang called in her heart, her head just wouldn't move.The woman on the other side struggled to move, and Bai Jianjiang found out that it was a Japanese woman.How could a Japanese woman be hanged up? Bai Jianjiang couldn't figure it out.

Looking at the long pole in the middle, Bai Jianjiang was dumbfounded. The person hanging from it was not a woman, but...

"See clearly, he is the Japanese orphan adopted by your father back then. His Chinese name is Bai Jianxiong." Miyata had already walked over and stopped ten meters away from Bai Jianjiang.There were many Japanese soldiers guarding him, and the Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at Bai Jianjiang.

"Miyata, you are cruel." Bai Jianjiang said a word.

"No, I'm friendly. The Imperial Japanese Army is very friendly. If you put down your guns, we can still be friendly."

"Little devil, you are dreaming!" Gou Sheng cursed on Bai Jianjiang's behalf.I really can't imagine that Gousheng and Sandangzi are really not afraid of death. Their calmness surprised Bai Jianjiang.You know, a few days ago, they were still real farmers!
"Gousheng, Sandangzi, you should regret it now." Bai Jianjiang said deliberately.

"Head, isn't it just a one-time death? It's worth it to bring a few more devils to our backs!" Gou Sheng said loudly.

Miyata can understand some Chinese, and Miyata can understand some of the meanings in Gousheng's dialect.

"Baga, pull them away!" Miyata yelled angrily, and some devils tried to move forward.Gou Sheng suddenly tore open his skirt, revealing a row of grenades: "You son of a bitch, come here if you can, and shoot your grandpa!"

Seeing that Gou Sheng wanted to pull the ring, the devil backed away in fright, Gou Sheng laughed loudly: "Little devil, don't you have the guts, come here if you have the guts!"

Guizibing looked at each other in blank dismay, and Miyata became even more furious.

"Bai Jianjiang, surrender. There is an old saying in China that those who know the current affairs are the best." Miyata was still holding on to hope.

"I'm afraid I won't come, Miyata, your death is coming soon, don't do any crimes, and the rice grain people may spare you." Bai Jianjiang's voice resounded in the night, it's a pity, the fourth girl The moth still couldn't hear.

She died, she was tortured to death by the Japanese devils.Bai Jianjiang's heart was twisted like a knife.At this moment, how he wished that the fourth girl, Xiaomo, could raise her head and look at him.

There was a sudden dead silence on the dirt field, and time seemed to freeze there.Bai Jianjiang recalled many past events, including him, Xiaomo, and Masao Kurano who hanged himself from a pole.

The two sides stalemate for a while, Miyata waved his hand and suddenly said: "Put him down!"

Several devil soldiers were busy for a while, and Masao Kurano fell to the ground in great pain.

Masao Kurano saw Bai Jianjiang, in fact, when Bai Jianjiang rushed over from the brick kiln, he saw him.He struggled in mid-air and shouted: "Don't come over." Unfortunately, his voice was too weak for Bai Jianjiang to hear.

Now, he and Bai Jianjiang are standing face to face. What an absurd thing this is. Two people born in different countries, two childhood playmates and brothers, are now standing together again, standing in the smoke of gunpowder. In the diffuse artillery fire.Masao Kurano found that Bai Jianjiang was still so brave, and the wildness in him hadn't changed at all.How many times did he get beaten for this when he was a child? Every time his father Bai Laoheng beat him, he would walk over alone and say with his heart full of thoughts: "Boss, you have to learn to be good, and you have to be as worthless as him. , there is no hope."

father?Masao Kurano suddenly thought of the blacksmith who nailed horseshoes all day long. He died under the violence of the Japanese Empire. He adopted an abandoned child for the Japanese Empire, sent him to school, and taught him the principles of life. He became a talent, but who knows, the Japanese Empire killed him without reason.Now, the Empire of Japan is going to slaughter his son again.Is this country born to take pleasure in killing?
"Let him go, I am willing to take on everything." Masao Kurano suddenly said to Miyata.

"Kurano-kun, it's too late now, unless you can get him to serve the imperial army." Miyata said grimly.

"Let him go, let him go to the battlefield. He is a soldier, and a soldier should die on the battlefield." Kurano said again.

"No, he can't die. He wants to be a loyal friend of the Imperial Japanese Army just like you." Miyata took a step forward.

"Don't dream, no one will be a traitor. It is a shameful thing to betray your motherland. You will be accused by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people. He will not do it, and neither will others. You have underestimated this land. "

"But you are betraying the Emperor!"

"You are wrong. I have not betrayed anyone. You forced me to participate in this war. You have committed unforgivable crimes against this land. I am apologizing for you."

While talking, Masao Kurano approached Miyata.His body was so exhausted that he had to put in a lot of effort every time he took a step.But he still persisted, one step, two steps, he was getting closer and closer to Miyata, and he was almost at Miyata's side.

Miyata shrank back vigilantly, and the guards around him immediately stopped Kurano with guns.Kurano smiled sadly, and said again: "Isn't the truth on your side? What are you afraid of?"

Miyata smiled sinisterly: "Kangye, you can convince him immediately, as long as he promises to let Shen Mengzi retreat, I will spare him."

Kurano smiled, but did not answer, his eyes were fixed on Miyata's face.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." For a long time, he said so.

Miyata's heart brightened, thinking that Kurano had really succumbed, just when he was about to grin, Masao Kurano suddenly made a lunge, rushed through the barrier in front, and grabbed Miyata's neck.

"Let him go!" Kurano ordered.

There was a commotion among the ghost soldiers. No one thought that Cangye had such skill and could move so nimbly.

"Let him go!" Kurano roared again.

Miyata wanted to speak, but his neck was choked by Kurano, so he waved his hand to signal for him to let go.

This astonishing move by Cang Ye also shocked Bai Jianjiang, Gou Sheng yelled, and Bai Jianjiang woke up.But he didn't run away, but took advantage of the dumbfounded ghost soldier, quickly tore off the rope from the pole, and let Si Girl Moth down.Bai Jianjiang touched the little moth's nostrils, as if he was still alive, his heart felt hot, and he shouted like crazy: "Little moth, little moth, I am Jiang!"

If Bai Jianjiang thought of running at this time, there might still be a chance to run out of the eagle's beak. He didn't wake up the little moth for a long time. Scolding: "You son of a bitch, give me back my woman!"

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the dirt field was completely chaotic.Gousheng and Sandangzi saw the opportunity, and opened fire with a bang, and a row of devils fell down in the blink of an eye.The devil no longer dared to be in a daze, and the two sides shot at close range.

There was a shocking scene in the dirt field that night.Bai Jianjiang finally ran out of bullets in the gun, and he couldn't count how many shots he was shot.Later, Sandangzi fought with the devils with bayonets, but there were too many devils. After picking five in a row, he was stabbed by the devils' bayonets, and his intestines were exposed. Sandangzi was still fighting with the devils.Gou Sheng died more quickly. After the bullets in the gun were exhausted, just as he was about to take out a grenade, the devil shot him in the chest. He was shot 16 times in total, and Gou Sheng still threw out a grenade.

Masao Kurano never thought that Bai Jianjiang would be so stupid, how could he shoot, pick up the little moths and run away, even if he risked his life, he could make them run across the brick kiln.It was only later that Masao Kurano realized that it was impossible for Bai Jianjiang to escape, nor could he escape. Miyata had also ambushed a squadron at the brick kiln.

Of course, what made Bai Jianjiang really crazy was the little moth.Xiao Mo couldn't hold on until Bai Jianjiang rescued her, when she put down, she had already swallowed her breath, the hot air in her nostrils was Bai Jianjiang's illusion.When Bai Jianjiang touched her cold face, he knew that it was impossible for her to open her eyes again.

Bai Jianjiang can only fight.

Masao Kurano miraculously survived. Although he wanted to die, he wanted to die with Miyata, but Miyata refused to let him die. Miyata hadn't tortured him enough. He was held back by several guards. After all, his strength is limited, being able to grab Miyata's neck is already a miracle, and trying to wrestle with the guard who twisted him is really powerless.

Tan Weiming's death was even more heroic.

They had already rescued Mr. Zu Lao, Zhuye suddenly broke through the defense line of the valley to the north of Shizui, and attacked Shizui.Zhuye could not live without Zu Cihang, without Zu Cihang, Zhuye would not be able to cross the Pinggu River, and his plan would be in vain.

It was a great risk for Takeno to cross the valley river without authorization and try to slip away from the Pinggu River.Takeno believed that this was a war that was sure to lose. From the day he left his country and came to China, the word "failure" has been hanging over Takeno's heart.Since ancient times, no army has been able to smoothly occupy other countries. Sometimes it may win, but this kind of victory is very short-lived, and the people of that country will immediately rebel.The army and the people are two different things. This is Takeno's most basic understanding.You can destroy the army of a country, but not the people of a country.To eliminate a country's army, it is necessary to unite the people of the country and use the power of the people to overthrow the regime and disarm it. This is Takeno's understanding of regime change.It's a pity that the emperor didn't realize this. The emperor thought that his army was too powerful and could do whatever he wanted without restraint. As a result, in this land of China, they fought against anyone, arrogantly and doing whatever they wanted.Especially the wanton massacre, rape and looting of the unarmed Chinese people. Since then, this army has become a street rat.Can a troop that everyone shouts and fights complete its mission calmly?

Takeno doubted.

Takeno is even more suspicious of the level of Commander Miyata. He is an arrogant and self-willed guy. Takeno looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, but he has to obey him. Takeno is very annoyed.In terms of combat capability and command level, Takeno believed that he was completely higher than Miyata. For example, he did not agree to mobilize several forces to Miliangshan, which is very dangerous.According to the original plan, he rushed from the direction of Baishui River, opened a passage from Yan Xishan's defense area, Gangben passed through Miliang Mountain, and then the two lines met. There is another line.Okay now, Miyata concentrated all the two lines and three forces on Mi Liang, and Mi Liang made it like this, it was tantamount to letting him travel across mountains and rivers to die.

Takeno didn't want to die, so he decided to find another way. Taking advantage of the stalemate between Miyata, Gangben and Tu Lanlong, he sneaked to Pingguchuan. He wanted to cross Miliang Mountain first. He didn't believe that Tu Lanlong would surrender, let alone Miliang City. The troops of the Empire of Japan will be welcomed.

Takeno never does anything whimsical.

He would rather take the risk and snatch Zu Cihang from Song Yuan as a necessary weight to bargain with Tu Lanlong at critical moments, rather than go and sacrifice Gangben in vain.

Captain Wei Teng was sent by Takeno to meet Matsubara. He said it was a support, but in fact he was stealing people from Matsubara.Now, Zu Cihang, who was finally snatched, was snatched back by Tan Weiming, how could Zhuye let it go?
Zhuye turned his gun and fought all the way back. When passing through the valley to the north of Shizui, he encountered Tan Weiming's men fighting hard to block him. Zhuye became furious and ordered the heavy artillery to fire. In the raging fire, Zhuye ordered the infantry to attack. After fighting for more than an hour, the 12 brothers were scattered and their bodies were thrown all over the ravine.Zhuye swung his broadsword and charged towards Shizui by the Gu River.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tan Weiming ordered the security battalion commander Huo Laosi: "Take the old man away immediately, and I will cover it!"

"Teacher, you go, I'll cover!" Huo Laosi jumped onto the cliff, picked up the machine gun and swept it down.

Tan Weiming rushed over: "The devils have already attacked, quickly take the old man away!"

"Master, I can't go, I want to be with you!"

"Bastard, don't you dare to disobey the order? Let's go!" Tan Weiming kicked Huo Si down, and Huo Si got up again. At this time, Zhuye and his team had surrounded Shizui.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, if something happens to the old man, I will never let you go!"

Huo Laosi swiped at the devils under the stone mouth, and the devils surrounded him from several directions. If he didn't leave, he really lost his chance.

"Teacher, take care!" After Huo Laosi shouted, he picked up the old man with two brothers, and retreated to the west of Shizui while beating.
