The War of Resistance

"Hey, that old man, if you run away again, I'll shoot you. If you can run away from the monk, can you still run away from the temple?" In a village, the voice of the tiger pillar rang out.

It is said that people live up to their names, and their voices actually live up to their names. Just this shout from Hu Zhuzi made the old man who had already stepped through the door stop immediately.

"We just want to ask you a few words, and we won't steal anything!" Qin Chuan also shouted angrily.

So what other options does the old man who has already entered the door have?

This is a village. He entered through his own door. The soldier behind him had a gun in his hand. Where could he run to? How could he just run away from the house like a calamitous cow? Did he know that if he offended these Northeasterners, they could directly set fire to his house?

So the old man could only turn around and face the soldiers with guns.

And these soldiers with guns were Shang Zhen and the others.

Chen Hanwen is back, but Chutian has not come back. Shang Zhen is leading people to find Chutian and the others.

Shang Zhen and the others finally got rid of the Japanese army's pursuit, but Chu Tian and the others undoubtedly attracted more Japanese troops. Shang Zhen knew that Chu Tian and the others would be in a bad situation, and the casualties would be huge. At this time, he was naturally more He could no longer take care of the missing Chen Hanwen.

Shang Zhen and the others were not familiar with the terrain and villages. They just knew that Chu Tian and the others were running in this direction, so they searched all the way.

But when they came to find him, it was already the third and fourth day after the battle, and there was no sound of gunfire, so they had no choice but to inquire.

It's just that who would have thought that the common people are as afraid of soldiers as tigers. They wanted to ask the common people in a friendly manner, but the common people ran away when they saw them.

But at this time, Hu Zi was angered. At least in Hu Zhuzi's view, you common people were toasting and not eating, but you were fined with wine.

"Uncle, have you heard any shooting in the past two days? Do you know if the Japanese have left?" This time it was Shuanzi who stepped forward to ask.

Shuanzi's village had been massacred by the Japanese army, and more than a hundred people were all torn to pieces. There was no doubt that the Japanese army was chasing Shang Zhen and the others, and then they killed the people in that village to vent their anger. .

So where else can Shuanzi go besides following Shang Zhen and his group?

When Shang Zhen and the other two platoons were looking for Chutian, it was usually Shuanzi who came down to ask for directions, but as soon as the common people saw Shang Zhen and Shuanzi together, they all became silent.

This finally pissed off Hu Zhuzhu.

When he saw that Shuanzi spoke with a local accent, the old man looked up and down at Shang Zhen and his group.

Except for Shuanzi, who was now their guide, Shang Zhen's group looked no different from stragglers. Everyone's clothes had scratches, exposing the same dirty cotton.

If there was one thing that was different from the other soldiers he had seen, it was their guns, not to mention their ammunition. Some had long and short guns, some had satchels on their bodies, and some had waistbands. Surrounded by something similar to a belt made of khaki trouser legs, I don't know what is inside.

"Uncle, just tell us." At this time, Shang Zhen saw that the old man was still silent and spoke, "First, we don't rob money or things. If we did, we would have robbed it already. Second, we ourselves There is food, don’t you see this?”

Shang Zhen then took out a piece of meat from his pocket, even though the piece of meat was dirty.

"A group of our brothers were fighting with the Japanese here two days ago. They should have passed through your place.

Our people do not harm the common people.

Think about it, if we cause harm to the people, our group of brothers will definitely come to your village!

Why didn't you get in? right? "Shang Zhen took the trouble to persuade the old man.

I don't know which of Shang Zhen's words moved the old man, but the old man chose to believe them after all.

And now he finally figured it out. If the soldiers in front of him wanted to speak for themselves, there was no need for them to talk nonsense to him. How could he not tell the truth while the gun was pointed at him?

"The day before yesterday, there were gunshots in the ridge ahead. People in our village saw Japanese soldiers running past." The old man finally spoke.

"Fuck! If you had said no, you would have ended the marriage!" Hu Zhuzi was angry.

"Shut up!" Shang Zhen said angrily, but Hu Zhuzi remained silent.

The Japanese had a reputation for being evil, but the reputation of the Northeastern Army outside was getting worse and worse as the Japanese army's "Operation Suppression" progressed.

At first they were talking to the common people. When the common people saw that they were different from other Northeasterners, they would tell them something bad about the Northeasterners, but now they just hide away when they see them!

Shang Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling. No matter how good the discipline of his battalion was, would it be hindered by other departments of the Northeast Army?

Are the local people instinctively frightened when they see the smell of dirt in the mouths of Northeasterners?

But Shang Zhen could only do nothing about it.

What he thought was that he should quickly find Chu Tian and the others, and then join the others and return to his guerrilla zone. In that case, the situation of his battalion might be better.

Half an hour later, Shang Zhen and a few of his people appeared on a mountain ridge.

According to what the old man said, there had been a battle here, so Shang Zhen and the others had to be careful. They even loaded their bullets and started searching carefully in a skirmish formation.

After a while, Qian Chuan'er and Qin Chuan, who were walking at the front, stopped.

When Shang Zhen caught up, he saw the body of a Northeastern Army soldier lying on the ground.

There was also a dark blood stain on the soldier's back, which was his fatal wound, where he was shot.

Shang Zhen turned off the safety of his cannon, put the gun down, then bent down and pushed the soldier over, and saw a face belonging to a Northeastern man.

The reason why he said he was from the Northeast was because although he didn't recognize this soldier, he remembered that this soldier was from Chu Tian's platoon, a veteran who usually smiled.

Shang Zhen was silent and reached out to search the soldier's body.

Just like the excitement that Wang Lao Mao's son brought to these veterans when he was just born, what these veterans saw yesterday and today are dead people, and what they will see tomorrow is destined to be dead people, and it is precisely because they have seen too many dead people. Only then will they feel excited about the birth of a new life.

But from another perspective, they saw too many dead people.

People are like this. They will be scared when they see dead people at first, but after seeing them too much, they will become numb.

But when Shang Zhen dug out a yellowed photo in the soldier's underwear pocket, he couldn't help but frown. That was because he felt a tingling feeling in his heart.

It was an old black and white photo, probably a group photo of a big family.

The old man and old lady are in the middle, they should be the parents.

The old man was wearing a top hat, and the old lady was wearing a bun. There were seven children beside the old man and old lady, and they should be their children.

What can be seen is that the soldier is behind the couple. He has a young face that is slightly reserved but full of youth.

But there was a sharp contrast between the face that was once full of youthful vitality and the face that was now pale and without any trace of blood.

Shang Zhen turned over the photo and saw a line of words written on the back of the photo. As soon as he saw those words, he stood up and said: "Put this photo away. "

Shang Zhen naturally said this to his messenger Shen Mugen, and then Shang Zhen walked aside.

He turned his face away, and others naturally couldn't see that the corners of his eyes were moist at this moment.

At this time, Qian Chuan'er came up from behind.

Shen Mugen asked: "Look what is written on it?"

Shen Mugen is not literate, so he naturally has to ask Qian Chuaner who can read and decipher.

No one knows how many characters Qian Chuan'er knows, but he usually boasts loudly in front of others. People Qian Chuan said he knows every character in Journey to the West!

However, this was not the time for funny bragging. Qian Chuan'er suddenly cried when he saw the words on the back of the photo, because the words above said: "Dad, Mom, I want to go home!"
