"After you deliver the food, you will go back to the base area directly." Li Jin looked at the three soldiers and said.
He still had to go to Liujia Village with Liu Changshun, so he could only let the three of them return to the base first.
"Yes" several people nodded.
"Commander Li, let's go there first." He Erbao said.
Li Jin nodded, and several people walked towards Xiaotang Village. The two little girls looked back as they walked, as if they were reluctant to leave Li Jin.
"Let's go too, we have to hurry up." Li Jin said.
"Okay." Liu Changshun was also a little impatient. He hadn't been home for almost a year. He didn't know how his parents were doing and whether they were doing well.
The two of them started running along the mountain road. Because they had to hurry up, they didn't plan to walk there. That would waste time.
After running for more than half an hour, Li Jin and the others came to a woods. After entering the woods, Li Jin stopped.
"Company Commander, what's wrong?" Liu Changshun was a little confused, why did the company commander stop suddenly.
"There was gunfire." Li Jin looked serious. Although the gunshot was very small, he still heard it. Thinking that this was an enemy-occupied area, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
It’s not like the Japanese are massacring the village again
“Quick, follow me.” Li Jin ran in the other direction. The sound of gunfire was about three miles away.
At this time, in a village, two Japanese soldiers and a dozen puppet soldiers were driving the villagers to the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.
Of the hundreds of villagers, few dared to resist and could only obey the instructions.
Soon, they were taken to the threshing floor. Some children hid behind their parents in fear, and other villagers looked scared.
After seeing the villagers gathering, the two Japanese soldiers picked up a light machine gun and came not far from the crowd. Then they set it up and started loading bullets into the bucket.
"Captain Zhang, this little devil is planning to massacre the village." Upon seeing this, a puppet soldier quickly said to the commander of the puppet army next to him.
"I can see it, you don't need to tell me," the puppet army captain said. He looked at the villagers, and every villager had a little uneasiness and fear in their eyes.
They thought that as long as they obeyed, the Japanese would not do anything to them, so no one resisted.
"Captain Zhang, if you don't stop it, all the villagers will die," the puppet army said anxiously. They drove these villagers out, and they had promised not to attack these villagers before.
"How to stop Xiaoqin, then they are devils, we are just living together, we will not risk ourselves for these villagers,
Besides, those who kill the villagers It’s a Japs, it’s none of our business,” Captain Zhang said.
"But the problem is, if we help the Japanese, then we will become accomplices. If word spreads, we will probably be killed," Xiaoqin said.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Captain Zhang’s expression also changed, as if the traitor had already been stabbed in the spine.I'm dying, if I watch the Japs kill the Chinese people, there will really be no turning back
Thinking of this, Captain Zhang hurriedly walked towards the two Japs.
"Taijun, what are you doing?" Captain Zhang bowed and asked cautiously.
"Killing, can't you tell?" One of the Japanese soldiers said slowly in broken Chinese.
"No, Taijun, aren't we here to collect grain? Why should we kill them?" Captain Zhang's heart trembled. He swallowed and spoke tremblingly.
"You can collect food even if you kill him. Don't talk so much, get out of here." The Japanese soldier said coldly with an unkind look in his eyes.
It’s just a dog, but he dared to question him
Captain Zhang froze on the spot, looked back at the villagers, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Taijun, can you not kill them? They didn't do anything wrong.
They didn't take in the Eighth Route Army, so they wouldn't kill them."
"Baga, who do you think you are?" When the Japanese soldiers heard this, they were furious. , raised his foot and kicked the puppet army commander in the abdomen, knocking him directly to the ground.
Everyone present was stunned when they saw this. They didn’t understand what happened and why the Japanese suddenly started beating Ergouzi.
The puppet soldiers looked on indifferently. No one came forward to ask what was going on, and they did not want to offend the Japanese.
Captain Zhang fell to the ground, clutching his stomach with a painful expression. The Japanese kicked him and it felt like his ribs were broken.
At this moment, the Japanese who loaded the bullets into the hopper loaded the bullets, then pulled the bolt to load the gun, and aimed at the villagers.
"Wait, wait, don't kill them." Captain Zhang struggled to get up and stood in front of the gun. At this time, Xiaoqin also came over and stood with Captain Zhang.
"Baga, get out of here, or I'll kill you both as well." The Japanese soldier next to him raised his 38 cap, loaded his gun and aimed at Captain Zhang.
Looking at the black hole of the gun pointed at them, Captain Zhang and Xiaoqin were so frightened that their legs weakened, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. They knew that if they did not get out of the way, the Japanese would definitely shoot.
He took a deep breath. He was not a brave person to begin with, but to be able to do this for these villagers now, he felt that he was worthy of these villagers and would not really risk his life.
Thinking of this, Captain Zhang moved his steps and pulled Xiaoqin at the same time. The two of them slowly stepped aside.
Seeing this, the Japanese soldier also smiled and put down his gun.
The Japanese machine gunner also planned to shoot the villagers. Captain Zhang looked elsewhere. He did not dare to see the villagers being killed directly, but he could not do anything.
Bang Bang
Two gunshots were heard. Captain Zhang watched two Japanese soldiers being shot dead. He was stunned for a moment. What happened?
The villagers stared wide-eyed and felt incredible. Who is so bold as to dare to kill the Japanese?
Other puppet soldiers were also shocked., quickly looked in the direction where the gunfire came from, just at this moment.
Bang
Another gunshot was heard, and the bullet hit the ground directly next to Captain Zhang, stirring up some sand and gravel and making Captain Zhang jump.
"We are the Eighth Route Army. Put down your guns and raise your hands to surrender. Otherwise, we will all die." A loud shout came from the mountain not far away, and it was Li Jin's voice.
At the critical moment, he and Liu Changshun rushed over and killed the Japanese when they were about to shoot.
Hearing that the Eighth Route Army was coming, a dozen puppet soldiers quickly dropped their guns and raised their hands in surrender.
Captain Zhang also took out the pistol from his waist and threw it on the ground.
Li Jin and Liu Changshun ran over and immediately collected the guns on the ground.
But these villagers just looked at Li Jin and Liu Changshun dumbly, which made Li Jin very angry.
I heard a history teacher say before that two Japs could drive the people of a village into the open space and kill them all. He didn’t believe it at the time, but he does now.
No one among the hundreds of people thought of resisting. If these people were in a different base area, they would probably be the ones to support them until death.
"Who is the village chief?" Li Jin frowned and looked at the villagers and said.
Soon, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "The village chief was killed by the devils."
"Killed by the devils." Li Jin didn't react for a while.
"Yes, when the Japs entered the village, the village chief resisted, so he was killed by the Japs," the middle-aged man said.
"The village chief has resisted. Why don't you resist and just watch the village chief being beaten to death?" Li Jin scolded.
All the villagers were silent, and Li Jin was so angry that his liver ached when he saw this.
"It's just two ghosts, you don't dare to resist, are you still bloody?" Li Jin roared.
"They have guns. Besides, there is also a group of puppet troops." Someone in the crowd said.
Li Jin became even more angry after hearing this.
"As for this group of people, do you dare to shoot?" Li Jin turned to look at the puppet soldiers and asked.
"Don't dare" The puppet soldiers shook their heads. Although they had guns, they still didn't dare to kill people.
"Did you hear that? Just two Japs drove more than a hundred of you here. If I hadn't come, you would all have died.
How can you still resist in the village? Have a chance to survive?" Li Jin shouted, his lungs were about to explode with anger. If he hadn't come, all these villagers would have died under the Japanese machine guns.
With more than a hundred people, just two Japs were able to drive them into the open space. During this period, no one resisted except the village chief.
The villagers listened to Li Jin's words and did not refute.
"Pack your luggage immediately. If you don't want to die, leave the village immediately," Li Jin scolded.
A group of villagers then entered the village one after anotherStart packing to leave.
"Company Commander, what should we do with these puppet troops? Should we kill them all?" Liu Changshun came to Li Jin and looked at the puppet troops and said.
As soon as the words were spoken, the puppet soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down.
"Don't kill us"
"Don't kill us, we haven't done anything harmful to nature, it's none of our business."
The puppet soldiers kowtowed one after another. Begging for mercy, they don’t want to die.
Looking at these puppet troops, Li Jin ignored them. Instead, he looked at the puppet army captain and the soldiers. It was he who was standing in front of the Japanese guns just now.
Although they gave in in the end, it also bought time for Li Jin and others to arrive. Otherwise, at least many of these villagers would die.
"You two just wanted to save people, right?" Li Jin said.
"Yes, yes, but there is no way. I am only one person and I dare not make the Japanese anxious." Captain Zhang stuttered back.
"Stop being puppet soldiers. If you two go back, I'm afraid you will be killed by the Japanese. Find an opportunity to take your family away." Li Jin said slowly.
These two puppet soldiers have some conscience.
"Yes, yes, we will never be traitors again." Captain Zhang and Xiaoqin said quickly.
Li Jin walked towards the light machine gun not far away, then hugged it, turned around and fired at the remaining puppet soldiers.
Da da da da
Fierce gunfire was heard, and all twelve puppet soldiers were killed. Only Captain Zhang and Xiao Qin survived.
The two of them were extremely lucky. Fortunately, they went to stop the Japanese. Although they failed, they did not watch the villagers being killed.
In the village, those villagers who heard the gunshots were also frightened. They hurriedly packed their luggage and left the village.
"You two, hurry up and leave." Li Jin said to the two puppet soldiers.
"Okay, okay." The two of them left quickly.
After such an incident, Li Jin also felt deeply helpless. Not everyone dared to resist, because they all had expectations of the Japanese and believed that if they obeyed, they would not be killed.
When the Japs massacred them, it was useless to resist. Don’t expect anything from anyone, not the Japs. They were just a bunch of beasts. If they wanted to survive, they had to resist.
The Japanese also took advantage of this and killed many people. What made Li Jin sad was that the village chief had taken the lead in resisting, but no one followed him.
If a few more people resisted, maybe it wouldn’t be like that.
Li Jin entered the village. The villagers had already left in a hurry. He found the body of the village chief lying under the eaves. Next to him, there was an old sleeve.
Looking at the situation, the old village chief planned to sneak attack the Japs, but because he was old, his reaction speed was not fast enough, and he was killed by the Japs instead.
The village chief had gray hair and was shot through the left chest and his heart. He opened his eyes.He fell to the ground with his eyes closed, his clothes stained red with blood.
The key is that the old village chief died but no one came to collect the body. Either he had no children, or his children were all outside. As for his children watching their father expose his body in the wilderness, Li Jin didn't believe it.
For such a bloody old man, his children cannot be too bad.
"What a pity for the old village chief." Liu Changshun sighed. It would be great if other villagers resisted with the old village chief.
"Dig a hole and bury the old village chief." Li Jin reached out and closed the old village chief's eyelids, then he picked up the old village chief and walked out of the village. Liu Changshun also looked for two Pick up the hoe and follow Li Jin.
Soon, the two came to a hillside outside the village. This location had good feng shui.
Li Jin and Liu Changshun started digging on the hillside.
The two dug for more than half an hour before digging a pit. Li Jin put the old village chief's body into the pit and began to fill it with soil.
Not long after, a new grave bag appeared on the hillside.
Li Jin and Liu Changshun saluted towards the grave bag.
"Old village chief, although I don't know your name, you are very admirable. Don't worry. I have sent the devils who killed you to accompany you. You can rest in peace." Li Jin thought to himself.
After leaving the village, Li Jin hid the seized guns. It was inconvenient to carry more than a dozen guns.
After hiding their guns, Li Jin and Liu Changshun ran again. Neither of them said a word along the way. They still felt a little sorry for the death of the old village chief.
"I don't know. The old village chief still dares to fight against the Japanese at such an old age. What's going on with the others?" After a few minutes, Liu Changshun couldn't help but say.
Are there not many bloody people in a village? They just watched the village chief being beaten to death by the Japanese and remained indifferent
They never thought that if they didn’t resist, they would be the next ones to die. Why do you have to have expectations for the Japanese?
"Oh, I have no choice but not to be the one who stands out, and I am not united enough." Li Jin sighed.
The villagers all felt that the Japs would not kill them all, so they did not want to resist, and no one wanted to be the one who stood out, lest they be the first to die.
As everyone knows, they are just letting themselves live a little longer. The Japanese will not stop killing the villagers just because they are obedient.
The Japanese will not feel pity for the obedient villagers. Instead, they think these people are cowards and will be more happy to kill them.
"If these were the villages in our base area, and the two Japs dared to come, they would have been killed before entering the village even if we were not around." Liu Changshun said, in comparison, it was still the same as those in their base area. The people are better.
