Half of the bloody setting sun hangs over the western mountains.
Outside the mountain village with only six or seven households, a strong smell of blood wafts in the air.
If it weren't for the smoke that lingered after the fire, it could be assumed that this place had just been raided by the Japanese.
Madman Yang held his rifle in one hand and moved cautiously toward the village against the low wall at the entrance.
Opposite him, against the back wall, the big dog held a rifle, its ears pricked up, and its eyes widened in warning.
Behind them, at the entrance to the village, six soldiers were lying on the hillside holding rifles and machine guns.
The whole warehouse was filled with machine guns, the muzzles of which were pointed at the thatched roof at the highest point in the village.
The other three soldiers took a circuitous route uphill to the west along the outside of the village.
Big Dog and Yang Chengzhi began to rush to the village alternately.
The village built on the mountain is higher in the west and lower in the east, and the roads in the village are twists and turns.
The two came together again at a corner.
"There are only three Japs' footprints. How dare he do evil?"
"It's hard to say..." After Yang Chengzhi finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his left hand into a palm and pointed at the low wall of the yard in front of him, meaning to let the big dog climb over the wall and attack.
This gesture is universal, and the big dog next to him was stunned for a moment: "Why the hell don't you do it?"
Yang Chengzhi was a little embarrassed, then he remembered that this was not his subordinate, so he stopped talking, trotted two steps with a dark face, and jumped over the low wall with a whoosh.
The big dog behind was stunned: "Fuck, is this still a human?"
He threw the rifle on his back first, then quickly followed up with his hands and feet and climbed over the low earth wall.
Seeing Big Dog and Yang Chengzhi disappear behind the low wall, the three soldiers waiting at the entrance of the village jumped up from the ditch and jumped directly into the village with guns in hand.
After entering the courtyard, Yang Chengzhi had already pressed against the wall of the house, carefully discerning the smell of blood in the air, and jumped out of the courtyard again.
After turning around the intersection, I moved cautiously towards a low thatched courtyard on the high ground to the west.
He stopped again against the wall and listened carefully to the movement in the yard.
After quite a while, no suspicious sound was heard.
Madman Yang took out a grenade and climbed over the wall again without seeming to use any hands. He ran a few steps and kicked open the tightly closed door of the house, and then quickly retracted his body.
The tail finger of his left hand was hung in the grenade ring that had already unscrewed the back cover, ready to be thrown into the house at any time.
Except for the sound of the door hitting the wall, there was still no movement in the room.
Instead, a strong smell of blood surged out of the room.
After a long while, Madman Yang quickly put his head in and then retracted it.
After seeing the situation in the house clearly, he quickly tightened the back cover of the grenade and stuffed it into the ammunition pouch on his waist, and rushed into the house with the rifle in both hands.
What came into view...was a pile of corpses.
Blood all over the floor.
Old people, women, children... all have expressions of fear before death on their faces.
Madman Yang walked around the house and roughly checked the cause of death of the villagers: "It was a stab wound..."
The big dog came to the door and looked around, then lowered his voice: "This child... must have had his neck crushed..."
"nonsense…"
"The blood on the ground is not dry yet. They died within half an hour... In other words, we should have done it when we came up from the mountain stream..."
"What? Let's go!" After Yang Chengzhi finished speaking, he quickly jumped out of the gate in the middle of the stone courtyard wall.
A soldier who surrounded the west of the village leaned out from behind the low wall: "Report...the courtyard is full of corpses..."
The corners of Madman Yang's mouth twitched. There were corpses in only two of the three large and four small courtyards!
But not even a living villager was seen!
There was deathly silence in the village.
There are dog kennels, sheep pens, and chicken pens in several yards, and there are chicken, dog and sheep excrement on the ground. If there are only three Japs, it is impossible for him to take away all the livestock!
Things are a little weird...
Dagou did not leave as Hu Yi asked, but instead began to arrange for people to be on guard outside the village, and also arranged for a few men to look around outside the village.
The sun had completely set and the sky was still bright.
But the mountainside quickly became dark.
Yang Chengzhi took the three people who entered the village and walked around the village while watching.
Finally feeling that nothing more could be discovered, he left the village directly.
He walked to the big dog face who was sitting on the roadside in the north of the village, holding a telescope, and said calmly: "Let's go..."
Big Dog put down the telescope and lowered his voice: "Damn it, they went north up the mountain ridge. There are four footprints... one more!"
Crazy Yang didn’t answer Big Dog’s words, the mission has been completed
"Then he's still a child, how could he do this..." the big dog muttered to himself.
Yang Chengzhi's face was expressionless. He was now concerned about Liu Yuanqing, who was staying on the Eighth Route: "Let's go..."
The big dog seemed to wake up suddenly: "Damn it, I..."
The veteran following Yang Chengzhi curled his lips at the other one: "I said, Big Dog followed the battalion commander to study in the division for a few days. How did he become like a mother-in-law?"
"You know nothing, this is called enlightenment..."
"Tch, given his selfish character, can he be enlightened?"
"Why can't we have it? Sister Guihua said it..."
"What the hell did Osmanthus tell you?" The big dog's voice was cold.
Uh... Guihua said... Comrade Tang Dagou is a good comrade...
Really?
Of course it's true, she also said...
What else was said?
She also said she wanted to have two babies with Big Dog...
The big dog directly hugged the veteran's neck: "Hey, you will hang out with me from now on..."
The veteran felt guilty: "Hey, let's forget it. I think we have a better future with Captain Luo..."
With so many people dying in the village, these two people didn't even feel that these words were out of place...
Next to him, Yang Chengzhi looked at the two of them blankly.
There was no expression on his face, as if he had no emotions at all, and he had no sympathy for the villagers who were killed by the Japanese in the village.
It rises like a wooden stake at the entrance of the village, looking at the mountain ridge to the north without blinking.
The village was slaughtered by the Japs. Although no villagers were found, it at least once again proved that the Japs were active nearby.
The soldiers who were searching outside the village all came back, many of them. The big dog no longer hesitated: "Let's go!"
...
The military officer angrily taught Tubal a lesson.
It's a real lecture.
After talking about the theory of mortar shooting for more than an hour, his mouth was dry and no one gave him a sip of water.
I heard that Tian Sanqi's company commander said that we have to continue talking tomorrow...
There really is an artilleryman next to the key point, and we can't just talk nonsense...
If this continues, I'll probably get two cannons, and maybe these guys can actually operate them.
Platoon leader Gao next to him narrowed his eyes and looked at the sergeant: "Following them like this is a waste of time."
The sergeant quickly agreed: "I observed carefully. The company commander on Tubal Road with his arm hanging on his chest is missing..."
Platoon leader Gao didn't take it seriously: "It's not important. Could it be that they will tell you if Tubal Road has any actions?"
"There must be something wrong with me. These Tubal Road seem to be brewing some conspiracy..."
"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless..."
The sergeant complained: "If the superiors didn't insist on finding some special agent group of the Eighth Route Army, I would put two packets of medicine in their porridge and kill all the Eighth Route Army!"
Platoon leader Gao ignored the sergeant's complaint: "We did not pass the contact point at the scheduled time today, so we cannot know the details of the next step. Wait until midnight, and you can find a way to leave and go to the planned contact point. There should be ours there." People are waiting.”
The sergeant was stunned for a moment: "Tubal Road is very strict. It's not easy to leave."
Platoon leader Gao stared at the sergeant: "I will create chaos when the time comes. If you go down from the cliff, you must not say... you can't go down now."
The sergeant trembled. This Tuba Road camped on the mountain ridge. It was so cold and it was already dark and they were not allowed to light a fire. They were really careful.
