Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 69: Heinous Crime

This staunch man just shouted: "Commander" and choked up and couldn't continue.

Three or four miles away from the hillside, there is a village with fifty or sixty households, irregular thatched houses, scattered in a small valley. The village is quiet, and you can still see the people at one end of the village.

More than a dozen houses were filled with ominous smoke. Tang Qiuli's heart sank, and a bad premonition came over him.

When he walked into the village, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

On both sides of the winding rural road, you can see bloody corpses everywhere, most of them white-haired elderly people and children, either shot to death or hacked to death with knives. As you continue to walk forward, everyone passing by

Every house does not have complete doors and windows.

Arriving at the courtyard of the village, more than two hundred corpses of dead villagers were laid out on the snow. The blood that flowed out dyed the white snow red and condensed into a shocking dark red. Several corpses were hung on the poplar trees beside them.

The stomach was cut open with a sharp knife, and the internal organs that flowed out were covered with blood and frozen into a lump. Several headless corpses tied behind their backs fell to the side, their heads obviously cut off with a knife.

Puddles of blood were solidified on the stone roller next to them. Several babies were thrown to the ground with their bloody bodies, their heads obviously crushed by the stone roller.

Seeing this tragic scene, Tang Qiuli was overwhelmed with grief. Was it those beasts who did it?

A soldier pushed open the door of a large room next to the courtyard. He immediately screamed and backed out, "Commander, look!" Tang Qiuli walked into the room, and the tragic scene shook his body.

The stars are dancing in front of my eyes.

Dozens of naked bodies of young women were lying scattered in the room. Their naked bodies were covered with scars, and their private parts were in a mess. Dark red blood mixed with filth flowed down the thighs and soaked the ground.

Some lower body

There were wooden sticks stuck in them, some had their genitals cut off, and some had their abdomens cut open. They were obviously raped and then killed in a group. The youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old. His original innocent eyes,

Empty and frozen in that moment of humiliation.

Tang Qiuli sadly exited the house. The sun outside was still bright, and the snow in the distant mountains was still so white. However, hundreds of lives were taken away by sin. Under the bright sky, it was those beasts who did such inhumane things.

A heinous crime?

The soldiers following behind were obviously shocked by this tragic scene. More than two thousand people stood there silently, with only the howling wind and howling shrilly. The atmosphere was dull and depressing!

Tang Qiuli waved his hand and called to the captains: "All soldiers in the army, immediately bury the dead villagers, take out some clothes and put them on the dead sisters in the house. The special brigade will split up to search to see if there are any villagers who survived the death.

I want to know that these beasts did this?"

I don't know which soldier suddenly burst into tears, and soon there was a burst of crying. The soldiers buried the villagers with tears.

Qiuquan came to Tang Qiuli and whispered: "Commander, we found someone alive. He is the only one left in the whole village." An old man in his fifties was helped by two soldiers and came to him.

.

It was obvious that the old man's spirit was on the verge of collapse. Tang Qiuli took off his coat and put it on the old man. He also asked the correspondent to bring a pot of white wine and gave the old man a sip. Under the stimulation of the white wine, the old man recovered somewhat.

He came over, stared at Tang Qiuli with empty eyes, then looked at the busy soldiers, and suddenly burst into tears, "Sir, it's so miserable!"

Tang Qiuli hurriedly helped the old man to a tree trunk and asked in detail what happened.

From the old man's intermittent narration, Tang Qiuli learned all about the tragedy.

This village is called Wei Jia Wo Pu, with more than 60 households and a population of more than 300 people. Last night, just after midnight, 1,600 to 700 Japanese soldiers and more than 2,000 national soldiers suddenly broke into the village and said they were going to attack.

During the raids on the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they went from house to house and arrested people. Most of the people in the villages were asleep.

The old man was caught, and only about thirty young, strong, and skilled young men ran into the mountains desperately. The old man's son, daughter-in-law, and two unmarried daughters were all captured by more than a dozen little devils and nationalists.

Soldiers blocked the house, and his son hid him in the vegetable cellar to escape the disaster.

After a while, he heard his son's angry scolding, the screams of his daughter-in-law and daughter, and the wild laughter of these beasts. He wanted to come out of the vegetable cellar and fight these beasts, but the door of the vegetable cellar was pressed shut by his son.

, for a long time, there was no movement in the house, only the daughter-in-law could be heard

and his daughter’s faint moans, he heard the national soldiers in the room talking about the Okazaki Crusade Team, the Old Seventh Regiment, the Anti-League, Red Stone Lazi and so on. They also said that the Imperial Army was having a great time this time, and we also followed suit.

If there are fewer little girls, one thousand six to seven hundred imperial troops won’t be enough?

After these beasts finished their misdeeds, they said they were going to assemble. Several gunshots rang out in the room. When he got anxious, he fainted. He didn't know when he came, but he was awakened by a burst of gunfire. The gunfire stopped.

Later, he struggled to get out of the vegetable cellar. In the house, his son was covered in

Blood, six or seven holes were stabbed in the body by bayonets, and the blood on the ground was all coagulated. The daughter-in-law and the two daughters died naked on the kang. They were shot four or five times, and the little daughter’s vagina was cut off. The old man

Seeing this tragic scene, I felt stupid at the time, and was later found by Qiuquan.

As the old man talked, he began to cry sadly again, his pale hair fluttering helplessly in the cold wind.

Everything was understood. Tang Qiuli's face was livid, his teeth clenched loudly, and he shouted loudly, "Map!" Seeing that the commander's face was wrong, the correspondent was so frightened that he quickly spread the map on the snow. Tang Qiuli's

His eyes were immediately fixed on the place called Hongshilizi, and he punched the map hard.

At the foot of the mountain beside the village, there is a high grave mound. The villagers who died in Weijia Wopu are buried here. The soldiers stood quietly in front of the grave. Tang Qiuli sat on the snow, expressionless and exerting his strength.

There were words engraved on a piece of birch board, and he was unusually quiet. A group of commanders at all levels stood silently behind him. Shan Hu tried to take the board from his hand several times, but Tang Qiuli gave him a calm and terrifying look.

Forced back.

A tombstone stands in front of the tomb, and it is engraved with the following inscription: "The tomb of the dead folks in Weijiawopu, inscribed with Qiu Li, the commander of the Anti-Japanese Blood Hand Regiment, on the seventh day of the winter of the 13th year of the Republic of China."

After Tang Qiuli had done all this, his mind went blank. The inhuman massacre, the lives of more than 300 innocent civilians, were lost in the hands of the damn little devils and a group of Chinese beasts. He would never let them go. The only option was to

Only by killing these beasts can we avenge the dead villagers!

At this time, Su Jingfeng led more than thirty young people over. The leading young man, a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, suddenly knelt down on one knee and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, accept us and follow the team.

Let’s fight against the Japanese and traitors together!” These are the villagers who survived last night. The leader is Wei Dayong, who is a good hunter.

When he saw the old man sitting next to him, he shouted in surprise: "Uncle, you are still alive!"

The old man burst into tears. He held Wei Dayong's hand and pointed tremblingly at the new grave. These more than 30 young people knelt down in front of the grave. Their relatives were buried there, and their flesh-and-blood relatives were just buried there.

One day ago, they were still looking at each other, but now they are separated by yin and yang. They cried loudly, and the blood and tears spilled into the homeland at their feet, and their cries echoed in their former hometown.

The surrounding soldiers also knelt down in unison. Although the ones buried here were not their relatives, but the compatriots they protected. Many of these soldiers had never experienced such a tragic scene, especially those mobilized by Zhou Yushan.

The more than 300 peasants who had just joined the army had no direct reaction to the brutality of the Japanese devils.

I may have a feeling of kindness in my heart, but now, the bloody fact is before me. These victims were all simple and kind-hearted poor people like them. A suppressed cry turned into a torrential downpour.

Hatred soared into the sky, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was fiercely ignited by the huge hatred.

The cries of more than 2,000 Kanto men, the murderous aura and deep hatred in those cries are terrifying to hear.

Tang Qiuli wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and helped Wei Dayong up, "Dayong, I will accept you. These thirty-eight fellow villagers will be organized into a platoon and you will be appointed as the platoon leader. I will also give you a name.

Called the Wei Family Pai, I want you to remember this bloody feud forever!"

Wei Dayong shouted loudly: "Always remember the blood feud!" The soldiers around him also shouted in unison, and the shouts echoed in the mountains and forests.

From then on, in the Blood Hand Regiment, there was an additional platoon-level organization that made the Japanese invaders and traitors fear like tigers. The soldiers of this platoon were unparalleled in bravery on the battlefield and treated the Japanese invaders ruthlessly.

Strange, the soldiers who were added to this platoon later, no matter how weak their character or how timid they were, were still

After staying in this platoon for a while, he seemed like a different person. His temper became hot and his whole body was full of murderous intent. Soldiers from other units said that this platoon was possessed by a murderous god. Even the name of the Wei family platoon...

It all reached the ears of Honjo Shige, the top commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Of course, this is a later story.

Tang Qiuli asked Wei Dayong again if he knew the terrain of Hongshilizi. Wei Dayong told him that Hongshilizi was a day and a half away from here to the north. The terrain was dangerous, with high mountains, deep ravines, and ridges.

There are many cliffs and caves. Because the rocks there are all red, they are called Red Stone Lazi. I heard that there are anti-Union teams operating there.

He asked Wei Dayong again if he knew the way to Hongshilizi, because the beasts that killed the villagers went in that direction. When Wei Dayong heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "Commander, that's still waiting.

What, chase after them? I know a shortcut, and I can definitely get in front of them! It’s just not easy to walk.”

After listening to Wei Dayong's words, Tang Qiuli thought nervously. The Japanese had already set out for a long time. According to the normal marching speed, they would arrive at Hongshilizi at noon tomorrow. With these equipment, the troops could reach the mountainous road.

In front of the Japanese

Do you want to go? Besides, when you get there, you have to survey the terrain, choose ambush positions, and dig fortifications. No, you have to hold back the Japanese no matter what and let them reach Hongshilizi tomorrow evening. A combat plan is taking shape in his mind.

.

Then, a meeting was held immediately. Tang Qiuli reported the enemy's situation. The Japanese Okazaki Crusade Team had more than 1,700 troops. The Old Seventh Regiment also knew the details. It was Shao Benliang, the "Commander-in-Chief of Suppressing the Communists" in the South Manchuria Road of the Puppet Manchukuo.

The starting army consisted of more than 2,600 people. The soldiers were all local gangsters, sons of landlords and bullies, and bearded men who had been bandits for many years.

, in a word, they are all scum who have deserved their death. They have been battle-hardened for a long time and have strong combat effectiveness. The enemy's total force is more than 4,500, which is far more than ours, and their firepower is not weaker than ours.

We, the Japanese soldiers, are even more powerful in combat. This battle is not easy to fight. Let’s express our opinions. Should we fight this battle or not?

Hearing what the commander said, everyone was a little unhappy. Why not fight? We are still afraid of them. We occupy favorable terrain and catch everyone by surprise. Plus we have so many cannons. One guy can kill half of the Japanese.

Military strength, and more importantly, how can these beasts be able to escape? If we can't catch them, there's nothing we can do. Now that we've caught their shadows, why don't we fight? Anyway, we will be restless all our lives, and we won't be able to sleep well.

Tang Qiuli smiled, what he wants is your state, "Chief of Staff, record the order," Tang Qiuquan's special operations brigade, set off immediately, bring more rifles and grenade launchers, and do everything possible to follow the enemy, harass and

Slowing down the enemy's marching speed must prevent the Japanese from reaching Hongshilizi before five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, thus buying time for the large army.

2. Follow the marching sequence of the 1st, 2nd, Artillery, and Third Brigades, the Baggage Brigade, the Recruit Brigade, and the Medical Brigade, and set off in one hour.

Third, all units must march overnight and must arrive at Hongshilizi before ten o'clock tomorrow morning. The headquarters will march with a large group.

The Fourth, First, and Second Brigades, as the vanguard troops, were the first to arrive at the destination. Soldiers who fell behind on the way were taken care of by the baggage brigades.

After the order was issued, the army became busy. At this time, Wei Dayong and his third uncle found Tang Qiuli and insisted on joining the army. Wei Dayong hurriedly stopped him, saying that the army did not want old people who were too old, and the two of them started arguing.

In front of Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiuli readily agreed and immediately arranged for the baggage team. Wei Dayong was a little surprised. He didn't know what the commander wanted the old man to do. Old Wei looked at his nephew with a victorious look.

Tang Qiuli had made plans in his mind. There were a lot of logistical tasks in the base, which were suitable for older people to do and they could also play a role. Besides, the old man's relatives were gone and he was left alone and helpless.

If you take him in yourself, you can give him a happy old age.

An hour later, it got late. In the twilight, the troops gathered neatly in an open space. Tang Qiuli looked at the soldiers with a stern expression, "Soldiers of the Blood Hand Regiment, the Japanese and traitors who killed Wei Jiawopu."

, just in front, will you dedicate it to the villagers for revenge?" "Revenge, kill all the Japanese and traitors." The roar of the soldiers frightened the birds returning late and shook off the white snow on the pine branches.

"Well, we need to march overnight to catch up with the Japanese and destroy them. We don't rest or sleep in the middle, and we are not afraid of fatigue and hard work. Can you do it?" "Yes, yes," the soldiers answered three times in succession.

"The answer with one word showed their determination.

"Let's go!" Tang Qiuli gave the action order concisely and took the lead in setting off.

In the dusk, a troop with high fighting spirit plunged into the vast forest, like a sharp arrow shooting towards the hearts of the Japanese and traitors with fury.
