Chai Youxiao agreed: "This little officer is very capable. He divided everyone into groups and made those soldiers wear Japanese clothes. Don't tell me, I am fascinated by these clothes, and what they said is also... I dare not disobey, these hundreds of people are on the road, it looks a bit like an army marching out, there will be no chaos."
At this time, Gouzi opened his eyes and said, "Dad, do you think we are an army now?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I received a slap from his mother on the head.
"You little brat, what do you know about the army? My mother hasn't dealt with you today. Why are you so bold and dare to go out and beat people? What will you do if you are shot dead by these little devils?"
Chai Youxiao immediately scolded: "What do you old ladies know? This kid dared to come up to help when he saw his father being beaten. He beat well and has courage. He is worthy of my kind."
Gouzi's mother wasn't happy either, and was about to retort when Chai Youde opened his eyes, looked at Gouzi and said, "This kid is good."
The dog's mother could only stop talking.
Even though Gouzi had helped his father beat up a few wounded Japanese soldiers with a pole before, he didn't have the fear he felt after participating in the killing. The discomfort caused by the bloody scene had long since disappeared, and now he is He stared enviously at the rifles carried by the volunteers walking beside the bullock cart, thinking about when he would be able to carry a gun and fight the Japanese so that his father would no longer be beaten by the Japanese.
Chai Youxiao suddenly thought of something and said quietly: "Brother, why don't you think Old Eighth Uncle and the others won't listen to your advice? If the Japs really come, how about they be left behind?"
Chai Youde sighed softly and said: "There is nothing you can do if you can't persuade me. Let's accept our destiny. I just hope that those who stay in the village can escape this disaster."
It turns out that not all villagers are willing to leave with Zhou Wen and the others. If ordinary people in this era are not forced to have no choice, who is willing to leave their homes?
Without witnessing or experiencing it with your own eyes, there will always be people who take a chance on the Japanese's brutality, thinking that if you are obedient and submissive, how can others come to kill you for no reason?
Therefore, there are still many villagers left in the village, especially a few elderly people who are senior to Chai Youde. They believe that the wealth of Chai Youde's family aroused the greed of the devils, so the devils killed people.
And these people are poor villagers. There is nothing at home that interests the little devil, so they can naturally save their lives.
Zhou Wen didn't have much to do about this, and he didn't have time to persuade and explain to these ignorant villagers one by one, so he could only accept his destiny.
Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng had already moved about one kilometer to the railway line to observe. This time they took hundreds of villagers into the pass. The first obstacle was the railway, which was afraid of the Japanese military vehicles. Discovered the situation while passing by.
Because in the early morning battle between Lei Dahai and the Japs, the Japs used a lot of incendiary grenades, leaving obvious traces of the battle on the rails and on the ground, which anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance.
Zhou Wen judged that there would not be many trains coming from Chengde during this period, and the main thing was to pay attention to the direction coming from Jinzhou, because the Japs were gathering on the Chengde front line to prepare to attack the Great Wall, and there would continue to be military trains coming from the northeast. The supplies go to Chengde.
Moreover, the direction Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng walked was not in a straight line with the villagers. Instead, they deviated about a kilometer toward Lingyuan County. The purpose was to prevent Japanese military columns from passing by when the villagers were crossing the railway.
And just half an hour after Zhou Wen and the others arrived at the railway line, Zhou Wen stood on the railway track and said to Xu Dacheng, who was observing from a high place: "Dacheng, I have wronged you by coming out this time. I didn't let you fire a single shot, but You may need your cannon later."
Xu Dacheng became excited when he heard it, and asked happily: "Did you hear the sound of the train?"
Zhou Wen nodded and said: "There is a train coming. You should measure the distance first and quickly find a cannon point. It will arrive in about 20 minutes."
This is the benefit of Zhou Wen's superhuman perception. He has already felt extremely subtle vibrations coming from the rails. This is why he wants to stand on the rails.
After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he rode on the war horse tied next to him, because he didn't know whether the Japanese army was pulling people or goods. If they were pulling people, it would have to be at least a thousand people. He and Xu Dacheng were both The brave and invincible man could not resist for long, so he went to inform the villagers to pass the railway as soon as possible.
And Xu Dacheng, a big-hearted person, doesn't care how many Japanese people come. He has been out with Zhou Wen for two days. Isn't it tiring to carry a twenty-kilogram gun barrel back and forth?
It’s even more tiring to carry a cannon and still not be allowed to use it.
Okay now, I'm going to stage a steel cannon to blow up a train today. I've never experienced this before, so that's a thrill.
After Xu Dacheng thought about it, he had another idea, so he cut off a corner of his white cloak, made a small white flag out of a dead branch, inserted it directly in the middle of the railway, and then rode on the bay red horse. , ran back for a while, found a high ground with a wide view, and established an artillery position on the high ground.
The place Xu Dacheng found was really good. The surrounding environment was clear at a glance. After the shelling, he retreated along the back of the high ground, blocking the sight of the little Japs. When the Japs found the shelling point, they didn't know where to go. where it goes.
This is the advantage of grabbing the Japanese war horse. Even Zhou Wen finds it much more convenient.
Not long after, Xu Dacheng heard the sound of horse hooves, and he quickly waved to Zhou Wen, only to see Zhou Wen also charging up to the high ground on a gray horse.
"How's it going? Awen, isn't the artillery position I found good?"
Zhou Wen jumped off his horse and looked around with a telescope. He saw a small white flag planted in the middle of the railway and asked, "Is this the target you planted?"
“It’s not just the subject matter, but it will also play an unexpected role, which may be a big one.”
Seeing Zhou Wen's thoughtful look, Xu Dacheng looked proud.
Hehe, regardless of your ability, there are times when you can't think of it, right?
This guy is a character who can't hold back his laughter. Before Zhou Wen could figure it out, he laughed and said, "Hey, think about it, if you were a Japanese train driver and suddenly saw a small flag appearing on the railway, what would you do?" think?"
Zhou Wen immediately understood that there are still many anti-Japanese armed forces in Rehe. If a little devil sees a small flag appearing inexplicably on the railway, it is difficult to say that he will be really suspicious and slow down the train or even stop it. Maybe he will send someone Come down and check, that's a good time for bombardment.
