Chapter 71 Brothers
After wandering around the mountains until dark, Xu Shijiu decided to break through from the southern foot of Laoshan Mountain temporarily
Xu Shijiu originally planned to break through from Yanzijiu, but he suspected that Japan had seen through their plans and set up an interception in Yanzijiu in advance. Xu Shijiu's intuition has always been very sharp, and this time is no exception. Ohara Shimi has indeed set up a small team in Yanzijiu, and is just walking Xu Shijiu and the others into it.
However, there are large patches of paddy fields on the southern foot of Mount Lao, and the kind of muddy fields.
The mud fields are actually not scary. After all, it is already deep winter. The water in the fields is premature. Even if they are still stuck, they are not as close to their ankles. The most terrible thing is that there are mud fields in these mud fields. The mud fields are actually a smaller swamp, and they are connected to the groundwater system. No matter how cold the weather is, it will not freeze.
The way of heaven is impermanent, the more you fear, the more you will be
"Puff" Gao Shenxing stepped on the air and fell into a mud.
Xu Shijiu ran a few steps and saw that Gao Shenxing didn't follow him. He looked back quickly, but saw that Gao Shenxing was already in a mess.
"Captain, don't worry about me, go quickly." Gao Shenxing knew that it was very difficult to rescue him after falling into mud. The key was that it was very time-consuming. But now the little Japanese was not far behind them, and time did not allow Xu Shijiu to save people. Instead of both of them dead here, it would be better to die for him, Gao Shenxing.
Xu Shijiu returned without hesitation and began to untidy his leggings and prepare to rescue him.
Gao Shenxing became anxious and shouted loudly: "Captain, please leave quickly, if you don't leave, it's over."
Gao Shenxing was really anxious. The little Japanese had approached within 200 meters. If it weren't for the night, the light had affected the shooting accuracy of the little Japanese, they would have been beaten into a sieve by the little Japanese.
Xu Shijiu ignored Gao Shenxing and just threw the untied leggings over.
"Captain, leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will cut off my neck with one knife." Gao Shenxing took the bayonet from the rifle and crossed it to his neck, begging with tears. He had the experience of saving people by mud. He knew that it would take a lot of effort to pull a living person out of mud, and it would take a long time.
However, now, not only is Xu Shijiu's physical strength almost overdrawn, but time also does not allow him to save people.
"Shut up," Xu Shijiu was not moved at all, and said coldly, "If you really dare to cut off your neck, I will not run away, just fight with the little Japanese."
"Captain, why are you doing this?" Gao Shenxing said tragically.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and grab the leggings, I can pull you out." Xu Shijiu said angrily, "I'm still saying the same thing. Our 19th Brigade has never left the cowards who escaped by my brothers alone."
Gao Shenxing's tears appeared and finally reached out to grab the leggings. Xu Shijiu roared, and kicked out two deep pits in the paddy field with both legs. Then, using the deep pit as support, he raised all his strength to pull it hard to one side. Because he tried too hard, Xu Shijiu's knuckles began to turn white. Because he tried too hard, Xu Shijiu's eyes became even darker.
With Xu Shijiu's efforts, Gao Shenxing finally began to rise up little by little.
When the Japanese approached within fifty meters, most of Gao Shenxing's body had been pulled above the waterline. Gao Shenxing took the opportunity to crawl forward with his elbows, and then he felt his legs lighter and his whole body was out of the mud. Xu Shijiu was so tired that he was exhausted and sat in the mud field.
Several beams of flashlights suddenly shone over, followed by continuous gunfire.
Gao Shenxing rushed forward and rolled, barely avoiding the bullets fired by the little Japanese. However, Xu Shijiu was exhausted and unable to make tactical avoidance. He was instantly hit by two bombs, one bullet hitting his leg, and the other hitting his right chest. Xu Shijiu immediately groaned and fell into a pool of blood.
The flashlight began to shake violently, indicating that the little Japanese was chasing forward again.
Gao Shenxing rushed to Xu Shijiu and said anxiously: "Captain, what's wrong with you?"
"Sheng Xing, I was shot, I was shot in the left leg, and the right lung lobe may have been injured. I can't do it anymore. You go and give me the two grenades left by you." Xu Shijiu sighed lightly. If there was a field hospital and timely surgery could be done, he would probably have some help, but in this situation, he would definitely die.
Gao Shenxing said angrily: "What did you say, Captain, I will never leave you alone."
"Good brother, go quickly." Xu Shijiu said, "Don't forget to kill a few more Japanese and avenge me."
"Captain, you just said that our 19th Brigade has never left the coward who escaped by his brothers alone, but now he has asked me to leave you behind to run away? Are you trying to make me a coward?" Gao Shenxing said, then reached out and grabbed Xu Shijiu's arms and one leg and raised him horizontally, saying, "I tell you, never."
"Be careful, let me go." Xu Shijiu was injured for a while, and he was extremely weak. He whispered, "You can't walk fast on your back. You can only die in vain. You can't die yet. You have to kill more little Japanese to avenge Nianci, and also avenge Jiaxi and Jiaxi. Hurry, let me down, let me down..."
"Never," Gao Shenxing refused flatly and said loudly, "Captain, I will never leave you."
Walking forward a few steps, Gao Shenxing said loudly again: "Even if you die, I will escape with your body on my back."
"Oh, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?" Xu Shijiu's voice gradually weakened, and then there was no more noise. Although Gao Shenxing was worried, he did not dare to stop to check Xu Shijiu's injuries. He could only walk forward with deep and shallow feet, while choking, "Captain, don't sleep, can't sleep, wake up, you have to hold on..."
It suddenly started raining in the sky. The cold rain quickly completely drenched the two of them, and the ground under his feet became a little slippery. Gao Shenxing was cold and hungry, and was supported by a thought. Every time he was about to be unable to hold on, he would silently recite, "We are brothers, I have to carry you out, and my steps immediately became firmer again."
Ohara Shigemi wiped the rain on her face, muddy, and almost bit her bite her.
Ohara Shigemi had never seen such a tenacious soldier. From Mufu Mountain to Laoshan, from Laoshan to Daao Mountain, and from Daao Mountain to Qixia Mountain, he didn't remember how far he had chased him. Even if he didn't have two hundred miles, he would have at least more than one hundred miles, right? But he couldn't catch up with these two Chinese soldiers who were exhausted and wounded.
What Ohara Shigemi couldn't believe was that one of the Chinese soldiers was seriously injured, and was driven by another Chinese soldiers on their backs. They had been fighting continuously for many days. The Chinese soldiers should have been almost overdrawn in terms of physical strength and energy, but he could still walk so far with a person on his back. What kind of tenacity is this?
Ohara Shigemi really couldn't imagine what kind of belief was supporting the Chinese soldier.
Ohara Takami is even more unimaginable. If every Chinese soldier is as tenacious as these two Chinese soldiers, then will the imperial army still have hope of defeating the national army and will the empire still have hope of conquering China?
"Sir, are those two Chinese soldiers running into the reed marsh, are they chasing or not?" a Japanese soldier roared.
At this time, the eastern sky was slightly brighter, and the surrounding scenery was vaguely distinguishable. When Ohara Shigemi looked up quickly, he saw that the Chinese soldier was indeed staggering into the reed marsh with another Chinese soldier on his back. He chased him overnight, and before he knew it, he had already chased to Sanjiangkou. Not far ahead was Zhenjiang City.
Ohara Shigemi gritted her teeth and said hoarsely: "Chasing, keep chasing, even if you chase the ends of the world, you will definitely catch these two Chinese soldiers for me."
Yin Shangwen got up early as usual and drove a small sampan to the river to fish.
The life of the guerrillas is quite hard. In addition to training, he also has to work hard for his livelihood. Sometimes he has to go hungry if he can't eat. But even so, Yin Shangwen also feels extremely fulfilled because he can fight the Japanese. In the guerrillas, he found his own way and saw the hope of China defeating the Japanese invaders.
There were more than a dozen guerrillas who came out to fish with Yin Shangwen.
Recently, the water surface of the Yangtze River has not been smooth. From time to time, Japanese gunboats patrol the river, saying that they were trying to search for the national army that fled across the river, but more often they were killing innocent people. The innocent fishermen on both sides of the Yangtze River were in trouble, and the guerrillas also lost several team members. So now they can only try to go out for fishing while the fog is in the morning.
Several small sampans barely approached Sanjiangkou, and a strange noise suddenly came from the reed marsh in front.
Yin Shangwen is now a veteran. He immediately pulled out the mirror box from his waist and then turned on the nose of the machine. He turned around and ordered more than a dozen guerrillas behind him and said, "If there is a situation, prepare for battle."
More than a dozen guerrillas picked up their weapons one after another, most of them were old sleeves and earthen guns, or ghost-headed knives, or two guerrillas even held shuttle marks in their hands.
However, the reed marsh quickly returned to silence.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement ahead. Yin Shangwen decided to take two guerrillas into a small sampan to take a look. He left the other dozen members and six small sampans outside, separated from the dense reeds, and the small sampan gradually penetrated deep into the depths of the reed marsh. At one moment, Yin Shangwen finally heard a slight moan again.
"Who?" Yin Shangwen pointed his gun at the reeds in front of him and shouted in a low voice.
There was a "pop" sound of falling into the water in front of them. Two guerrillas used bamboo poles to separate the dense reeds, but they saw two muddy figures pounced on the water faces downwards. The river rippled on them, layer by layer of mud and water, and blood. I don't know whether they were dead or alive, but the person below clearly had a rifle on his body.
"Shangwen, they have guns." A sharp-eyed guerrilla said, "It seems to be the national army."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were suddenly messy footsteps on the riverfront ahead, and there was a faint sound of wow. Yin Shangwen's face changed immediately. He was a Japanese person.
He immediately ordered two guerrillas to say, "Save people immediately."
The two guerrillas quickly supported the small sampan, jumped off the boat and carried the two national troops onto the ship. Both national troops were still angry, but one of them was covered in blood and was seriously injured. The other national troops had no fatal wounds on their bodies, but they were unconscious. They seemed to be exhausted and fainted, and they were even murmured.
