Zhou Wen raised his hand to stop the two of them from kneeling, and said softly: "I know who did it, and they haven't gone far yet. I need you two to lead the way."
With just this sentence, two grief-stricken people found hope of living again.
"Who is it?" Wan Tiangui asked in a hoarse voice.
"They are Japanese, Japanese spies who sneaked in from outside the customs. They may have exposed themselves in the village, so they gave up the whole village... Oh!"
"Little Japan!" Wan Tiangui opened his eyes angrily and growled from his throat through gritted teeth.
Xiao Shui clenched his fists tightly with both hands, looking at Zhou Wen expectantly with red and swollen eyes.
Zhou Wen continued: "So if you want to take revenge, you can't be too sad and cheer up. Without a good body and spirit, how can you lead the way for us to catch up with them."
Wan Tiangui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "I will listen to you, young master, just give me your orders!"
It can be seen that after hearing the news that he had an enemy, this man's spirit was no longer as depressed as before. He also broke free from the nightmare of losing his loved ones. Now he only thinks about how to get revenge.
Zhou Wen took out a map, pointed at it and said: "It's about three hundred miles from Koutai Village to Jinzhou. According to the wheel and horse hoof prints we found on the road at the north entrance of the village, there are about a dozen Japanese in this group. , four carts and a dozen horses. The mountains and roads in this area are high and it will take them three days to return to Jinzhou."
Wan Tiangui said simply: "Master, what should we, uncle and nephew, do? As long as we can get revenge, we are willing to die even if we can."
"Yes, I will take revenge even if I die." Xiao Shui said firmly.
Zhou Wen waved everyone to his side and began to assign tasks.
Judging from the traces of the Japanese army's previous retreat, they were most likely to flee towards Jinzhou. However, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, Zhou Wen decided to divide the limited personnel into three groups.
Along the way, Miaohua led Ti Jing, Sun Dazhu and two other team members, along with a radio, and under the guidance of Wan Tiangui, they hiked through the mountains and took a shortcut to Jinzhou to block the enemy's retreat.
Along the way, Zhou Wen led Zhang Xiaoping and two team members, who also brought a radio station, and Xiao Shui led the way. One man and two horses followed the traces of the Japanese retreat. Unless the Japanese abandoned their carts and horses and entered the mountains, sooner or later they would be able to escape. catch up.
The third route is to let Xu Dacheng stay and lead a team member to follow the caravan to survey the surrounding terrain and draw a simple map. In this regard, Xu Dacheng is indeed the first choice for the mercenary group. This time cannot be left behind because of the pursuit of Japanese revenge. The main purpose of the trip was confused.
Although Xu Dacheng still has a carefree temperament now, he is already a fully qualified soldier in terms of execution ability. He also knows that his mission will not be easy either.
When Miaohua and the others arrived in the morning, they did not let the caravan follow them because they could not reveal the massacre of the village outside Lengkou for the time being. You must know that there are already defenders stationed at Lengkou Pass. If Zhou Wen is suspected by then, It's hard to explain when they come.
After Zhou Wen assigned the task, he took Miaohua to a secluded place, and like a magic trick, he took out a Somi submachine gun and two drums, handed them to him and said: "Senior brother, be careful, if you exceed As far as the intercom is concerned, we will use the radio to contact him every three hours. If Master Wan can't walk on the way, let Ah Jing carry him on his back, as long as he can show the way."
Miaohua took the submachine gun calmly and sighed softly: "Awen, when I go back this time, I will teach you all the secrets of Shaolin."
Zhou Wen was overjoyed when he heard this. He must have known that he had been coveting Miaohua's splitting of muscles and bones for a long time. It was the best way to extract a confession, and there was no one. However, every request was rejected by Miaohua on the grounds of Shaolin rules. Now that Miaohua agreed, he was not happy.
"Not only is it a hand that separates muscles and bones, but also the art of turtle breath is also passed on to you."
Zhou Wen scratched his head and felt unbearable when he heard this, but he also wondered why Miaohua's attitude suddenly changed so much.
Miaohua knew what he was thinking, she narrowed her eyes that were even more beautiful than a woman's and said: "Now I finally understand why you have been so hateful and attached to the Japanese all these years. The military cannot be overemphasized. What’s more, if our country is really defeated and exterminated, what use will these sect rules have? If the country is destroyed and the people are gone, how can there be any sect rules? ?”
Finally, Miaohua looked at Zhou Wen and said solemnly: "You took us to Tianjin to rob the Japanese bank before. I actually didn't agree with it at the time, thinking that this method was unjust and unscrupulous. But now I finally understand, To deal with these beasts, any means is just, and as long as we can kill them, we will use all possible means."
Zhou Wen laughed happily, then solemnly stood at attention and saluted Miaohua: "Senior brother, take care!"
"Junior brother, take care!"
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone had eaten in the village and brought enough dry food, Miaohua, Tijing and other six people set out for the mountains.
After Zhou Wen watched the backs of several people disappear from sight, he took the reins of the horse handed over by Xu Dacheng and got on the horse. Behind him, Zhang Xiaoping and Xiao Shui, as well as two team members named Sun Youren and Sun Youyi, were all together. After getting on their horses, they each held a spare horse on a lead rope.
Xu Dacheng looked at Zhou Wen, his eye circles turning red again.
Zhou Wen knew the mood of this good brother, and chuckled: "Don't worry, Dacheng, I really don't care about a dozen little devils. But you, after we leave, you go to Jianchang Camp and Lao Jiang Uncle and the others will meet up and then go map out the terrain. Pay attention to safety and leave everything to Uncle Jiang and the others to negotiate."
"Yeah!" Xu Dacheng nodded heavily.
Although Zhou Wen and the others did not bring many weapons when they came out this time, they did have all the other equipment, including a pair of artillery observation scopes and two military low-power shortwave radios, which came in handy.
Zhou Wen looked at Xu Dacheng and nodded, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, go get revenge on the little devil."
After saying that, he rode forward. In the smoke and dust along the way, a few people and a few riders quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
…
Although Zhou Wen was full of confidence in catching up with the Japanese, he was a little worried in his heart. He was afraid that the Japanese would bribe the mountain people along the way to lead the way and take the mountain road directly back to Jinzhou, which would make it really difficult to catch up.
After all, judging from the time, even if this group of Japanese soldiers did not dare to walk at night, they had already walked for most of the day, and they had walked at least fifty or sixty miles. Even if Zhou Wen and the others did not hesitate to use their horses, they still had to reach the destination. It will be possible to catch up tomorrow. If the Japanese army takes the mountainous route instead, it will be in trouble. Even if you send an army, it will be difficult to find them in the mountains and plains.
