At dawn, Shang Zhen and the others woke up.
They were not awakened by the cold, but by being awakened.
When Shang Zhen and the others stood up in the cold morning wind, they saw Ma Tianfang running into the woods from the southwest.
Last night, they arranged a total of two sentries. One was placed by Ma Tianfang in the southwest corner, and the other was placed by Chen Hanwen in the east.
At this time, Shang Zhen and the others saw Ma Tianfang followed by dozens of people.
Looking at the clothes and the way those people walked, Zhang Zhen and the others thought that those people were the villagers from the village where they fought against the Japanese army yesterday.
At that time, Shang Zhen and the others wanted to use that village to set up a trap to assassinate the Japanese army.
So they drove those villagers away in a hurry. There was not much reason to say at that time. If the villagers didn't leave, they just used guns to force them out and drove those villagers out!
In the end, they thought about shooting the last one, the fifth Japanese soldier. It is estimated that after that shot, the villagers should have fled further.
But who would have thought that now they would meet those villagers.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over! The master of suffering is here!" Qin Chuan sighed in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Hu Zhuzi was puzzled.
Qin Chuan did not continue, but he felt like a mirror in his heart.
Yesterday they drove those villagers out of their homes, and then after they finished fighting the Japanese troops who came later, they burned the village down.
Although it was the Japanese army who set the fire, how could this house be burned down if they had not been there to assassinate the Japanese army?
Isn't this the master of suffering coming to your door?
The so-called "sufferer" is the creditor who owes his debts to his grievances. From this perspective, they, the soldiers of the Northeast Army, are the debtors.
Sure enough, Ma Tianfang, who rushed over quickly, took one look at the crowd and said in a low voice: "The people know that their houses were burned down, so they came to settle accounts with us!"
"Fuck, we saved so many of their lives? Do they still have the nerve to settle a score with us?" Qiu Bo said angrily.
Qiu Bo's words naturally aroused discussion among the soldiers, but Shang Zhen, Lao Huo Tou and Wang Lao Mao did not speak.
"Who is the chief here?" Sure enough, when the villagers walked in front of Shang Zhen and the others, a middle-aged man asked.
Everyone looked at Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen frowned but said nothing. It was not because he was afraid of talking to these villagers, but because he felt that his title as leader was unfair. If he were to be the leader, would his companions be different? What's your idea?
But before he could speak, the middle-aged man saw that everyone was looking at Shang Zhen, but he also recognized that Shang Zhen was the boss, the commander.
"You kicked us out of our home, and now our home is burned down. What do you think we should do about this? You, you have to pay for our house!" the middle-aged man asked angrily.
They are all from the Northeast, and not all ordinary people are afraid of the army. Shang Zhen and the others are the Northeast Army, but to the people of the Northeast, aren't they just the army?
Shang Zhen knew that this problem could not be avoided. It seems that this boss of his has decided to take action.
But just when he was about to speak, one of them stood up, that was Qian Chuan'er.
"Fuck, did we burn your house? Did we jump into the well with your child? Your house was burned by the Japanese, are you telling us?" Qian Chuan'er said with disdain.
Everyone knew Qian Chuan'er's personality, he was more lively and talkative, but they didn't expect that he could be so naughty.
His words almost choked the man and knocked him upside down!
"Hey (ái), that's not what this boss said!" The man calmed down and said hurriedly.
"What should I say otherwise? If we hadn't driven you out of the village, your men would have been killed, your women raped, and your children would have been stabbed with bayonets. We risked our lives to save you, but you wouldn't dare to show mercy. Thank you, you dare to ask us to pay for the house, your conscience is eaten by dogs?" Qian Chuan's words were like a knife, it was really a knife to the flesh.
Shang Zhen, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but admire Qian Chuan'er. I don't know what others were like, but Shang Zhen knew that at least he couldn't say such a good thing.
But Shang Zhen didn't think that the middle-aged man opposite him was not a good person either.
"Ha!" The man smiled instead of being angry. Just look at the man's thin lips, just like Hou Kanshan's thin lips. Generally speaking, men with such thin lips are careless in appearance!
Sure enough, the man had calmed down under the attack of Qian Chuan'er's words, but he also opened his mouth and asked, "What are you talking about here?
If you hadn't killed the Japanese in our village, the Japanese would have set our houses on fire?
When you say that the Japanese are fierce, that's what you said. We didn't look at it. Who do we, the people, care about who occupies the territory?
I remember that Dashuai Zhang didn’t even say that he would burn our house. If it doesn’t work, we will come to you, Dashuai Zhang, to argue! "
Even though this man is thin-skinned, his words are majestic and confident.
Just what this man said directly caused Shang Zhen, a soldier of the Northeast Army, to think countless "fuck you"s in his heart!
He actually wanted to drag us people to argue in front of Marshal Zhang!
If you really have the ability to drag us to argue in front of Marshal Zhang, it would be better to drag us directly to argue in front of the Lord of Hell.
Get out of here, you bastard!
Dashuai Zhang has been buried, do you know? If you want to go, we won't follow you!
But everyone thought so in their hearts but would never say it out loud. After all, the commander-in-chief was gone and the young commander-in-chief was still there, so it would be taboo for them to dare to say that.
"You called me Marshal Zhang casually?" Mr. Wang finally spoke.
He suddenly realized that he hadn't had a beard for several years, and some people didn't realize that the sky was high and the anger had begun to brew in his body.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen suddenly asked: "How did you know that the village was burned down?"
Shang Zhen was very surprised. Standing at the highest point of the mountain forest, they could barely see the smoke coming from the village. As for these villagers, it was obvious that they were farther away than they were last night. How could they see it? Is there a fire in the village?
This is a mountainous area, and the hills and woods can block the black smoke.
"Ha!" The middle-aged man laughed again. He didn't know that Mr. Wang opposite him was already secretly angry. You were so stupid and you were still laughing. It was too late to make you cry!
"People in our village went back and saw that a total of thirteen houses were burned to the ground!" The middle-aged man finished laughing before getting back to the topic.
At this point, Shang Zhen suddenly realized. It seemed that more than one person from the village had returned to the village. They found that the village had been burned, so they sent someone back to report the news.
But just when Shang Zhen was about to explain a few more words to these villagers, and when Mr. Wang was about to show off his mustache, they heard footsteps behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw Chen Hanwen holding a rifle and running back panting.
"No, no, something happened. Little Japan started searching the mountains!" Chen Hanwen said.
