There was loud gunfire at the entrance to the village, and Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms rushed in from a distance like yellow ants under the cover of machine guns.
This situation was of course chaotic, but even more chaotic was behind it, because the Japanese mortars began to fire extended shots.
Mortar shells exploded one after another in Hejiatun, and the wormwood, debris of masonry, and dust washed up by the air waves of the shells seemed to be everywhere.
In the smoke and dust of the explosion, the villagers' children were crying and adults were shouting, and some people were already lying in a pool of blood.
The soldiers were also in a mess. Some were going to the village entrance to meet company commander Liu Guodong and others, some were overwhelmed and began to escape elsewhere, and some were rescuing the wounded.
With a "boom", a mortar shell hit the cooking team's house.
The house was originally an earthen house, but it was blown up into a mess of smoke and grass and trees flew everywhere. But in the smoke and dust, some soldiers were already shouting, and they were injured by the bombing.
"Little Japan is going to wipe out all this village!" Chen Hanwen said as he got up from the ground.
Hou Kanshan, who was with him at this time, glanced around and shouted: "Qian Chuan'er, you two fools, you two will pick up the platoon leader, Xiucai and I will go up to the top of the hill on the left to pick up the guys." you"
After saying this, Hou Kanshan pulled Chen Hanwen, and the two of them ran to the left.
"Aren't we going to respond to the platoon leader? Don't we care about the people here?" asked Chen Hanwen, who was following Hou Kanshan.
"The Japanese even blew up the houses. They are trying to kill the entire village. Can you handle it?" Hou Kanshan said disapprovingly.
Chen Hanwen was silent and could only follow Hou Kanshan.
"The bastard escaped again!" When Qian Chuan'er got up from the haystack with a piece of wormwood on his head, all he saw was the back figures of Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen rushing out of the courtyard.
But Erhanzi, who also emerged from the haystack, shouted: "Ma Gan'er, Ma Gan'er!"
"I'm rescuing the wounded!" Shang Zhen's shout rang in the room.
"Why save the wounded at this time!" Erhanzi said angrily.
"Keep your voice down! Let's go to the entrance of the courtyard first!" Qian Chuan'er had already opened the bolt head of his cannon.
In Er Hanzi's mind, he, Qian Chuan'er and Shang Zhen are now his gang, and as for Liu Guodong's people, they are one level behind after all. As for Hou Kanshan, who is always ready to fight when he sees danger. That can't be counted as one's own.
When Hou Kanshan and Erhanzi ran to the door of the courtyard and looked out, they saw that the whole village was in chaos.
Although the sound of Japanese mortar fire stopped, some houses and haystacks were already on fire, and in the fireworks, people and soldiers ran together desperately to both sides of the village.
Among the noisy voices, they finally understood. What some soldiers shouted was: "Run as fast as you can. There are too many Japanese soldiers. Kill everyone on sight!"
"Ma Gan'er, if you don't come out like this, we won't care about you!" At this time, Erganzi was also anxious.
In the current situation, if no one can survive, how can you save the wounded?
While he was shouting, Qian Chuan'er also shouted: "Platoon Leader Wang, we are here!"
Next to a firewood pile that was already burning in front, there was a man covering his head with one hand and holding a flower-supporting device in the other and rushed past. When he got closer, it was Mr. Wang.
"What's going on?" Erhanzi asked.
"Liu Guodong is dead, everything is in chaos, run away!" Old Mao Wang shouted.
It turned out that when the Japanese army launched their attack, although they were also hit by mortars, Liu Guodong was fine at the time.
But as soon as the Japanese mortar extended its fire into the village, Liu Guodong and the others knew it was broken.
The Japanese troops rushing in from a distance were densely packed. Needless to say, the Japanese troops had finally touched their "beards". Seeing that they had so many troops, they were not only going to wipe them out, but also the He family. The people in the village will never get anything good!
Under such circumstances, as the company commander, Liu Guodong could not bear to lead his own people to flee for their lives. Instead, he directly organized a counterattack against the Japanese army in an attempt to buy some time for the people in the village to escape.
But the Japanese army only discovered Liu Guodong as the commander in an instant. Wang Laomao, who was not far away from Liu Guodong, heard the "hiss" sound again. The sound was similar to the sound of mortars but slightly thinner. Then he saw a few bunches of smoke rising from the earth wall where Liu Guodong was hiding. With the loud explosion, Mr. Wang ran back without even thinking, and conveniently passed by someone who was already there. The fallen veteran recovered the flower-producing mechanism with his body.
Mr. Wang didn't even figure out what kind of weapon the Japanese army used, but in that kind of explosion, it was impossible for Liu Guodong not to be killed!
Now that Liu Guodong is gone, Liu Guodong's entire company has collapsed. It's not his style to let Mr. Wang go to the front alone to fight the Japanese army.
Besides, the so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the chief officer was killed, Liu Guodong's company was really disbanded!
"Ma Gan'er!" Qian Chuan'er shouted again.
"It's coming out! It's coming out!" At this time, Shang Zhen's voice came faintly from the courtyard.
But at this moment, the box cannon in Qian Chuan's hand and the flower trap in Wang Lao Mao's hand rang at the same time.
In the dispersing black smoke, two figures of Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles fell down with the sound of gunfire.
"You idiot, you jump out of the window, let's run!" Wang Laomao yelled anxiously.
Then he ignored Shang Zhen, took Qian Chuan and Er Hanzi and ran to the left against the courtyard wall.
Now that the Japanese army is strong and they are defeated, the only way to survive is to run to the mountains.
In this situation, how could Mr. Wang cling to this ruined yard of the cooking class to save Shang Zhen!
"There are Japanese soldiers at the courtyard gate, jump out of the window!" When Wang Laomao and the other three ran to the south side of the courtyard wall, Qian Chuan'er pulled his neck and shouted again.
After all, they were partners, but Qian Chuan'er was still worried about Shang Zhen!
Just when Wang Laomao, Qian Chuan'er, and Er Hanzi ran to the back of the yard, they heard a "click" sound coming from the small window on the back wall of the cooking class, and the window fan flew away. came down, and then Shang Zhen got out of it.
When Qian Chuan'er said "Run quickly" again, he saw another person coming out of the window, it was Lao Huotou!
"Where are the wounded you rescued?" Qian Chuan'er asked angrily.
"He has cut off the queen for us, run!" Shang Zhen said.
"She's quite conscientious." Qian Chuan'er muttered, and now the four of them hurriedly ran back.
And they only ran for a moment when they heard the explosion of grenades from the cooking squad behind them.
But there were only two explosions, and then there was the sound of Japanese 38 rifles, but the explosion was never heard again. Needless to say, the wounded person Shang Zhen rescued must also have been killed.
Note: Yi Zangzi means desperate escape.
Touching the beard means getting a clue.
