It's dark at night, but this small village called Liujianao still smells of cigarette smoke.
There are still remnants of charcoal fire in the unburnt ruins of the wall. When the wind blows over the charcoal fire, it will turn red. After the wind passes by, it will become dim again, as if the fire of life has been extinguished.
When it was getting dark, people in the distance could only hear the sound of Liu Jianao's gunshots sparsely.
But the sparse gunshots did not mean that few people died in Liujianao.
Half of the village's more than 40 households and nearly 200 people had been killed by the Japanese army. Most of them were picked to death by the Japanese army with bayonets.
As for why the half of them were not killed by the Japanese army, it was because the Japanese army needed someone to help them carry the wounded, so those men who did not resist were imprisoned in several homes, locked the door, and looked outside for soldiers.
Most of the Japanese soldiers had already fallen asleep in the house, but there were Japanese sentries in the darkness in the distance.
They had been harassed and frightened by the small Chinese army.
The Japanese soldiers were not fools.
If they failed to return to the main force in time while it was still light, they could also expect that the small force would probably attack again.
So how could they put so few sentries? There are not only fixed sentries, but also open and hidden sentries.
It was late at night, but the village was not quiet.
The unquiet sounds were not caused by the still living villagers. The dead naturally would not make a sound, but the living people had been frightened by the brutality of the Japanese army, so who dared to make a sound.
The one who made the sound was a wounded Japanese soldier.
Dozens of wounded Japanese soldiers could not sleep in the room, and naturally they groaned.
In this state, even though there was a group of Chinese soldiers staring at the village in the darkness, how could they attack the Japanese army? Is it still harassment? If this is the case, wouldn’t those innocent Chinese people’s deaths be in vain?
Time passed little by little.
The Japanese sentries who had also been running around for a day were also very sleepy, but thinking that a squadron of their majestic Imperial Japanese Army was actually beaten to a camp full of wounded soldiers by such a Chinese squad, the sense of responsibility made those Japanese sentries force themselves to He became more vigilant.
But at this time, in a woodshed in Liujianao that had not been burned by the Japanese army, a man sat up.
It was a young woman.
She could no longer be described as naked, because all the clothes on her body were gone. They were torn to pieces when the invaders committed brutal acts against her.
She felt pain everywhere in her body, and the pain was a constant reminder of the humiliation and damage she had suffered both mentally and physically.
She has no desire to live now. Her whole family is dead, including her one-year-old son.
She put her hands on the ground and slowly stood up, enduring the heartbreaking pain.
She wanted to die, but she didn't want to die here.
She didn't want to die naked in front of those robbers.
But when she held her hand on the door frame and saw the house in the night, she thought of the ferocious faces of those robbers.
It is said that character determines destiny. Originally, she was a submissive woman.
She married Qu San'er only because her father wouldn't let her marry Guo Baoyou, whom she liked.
However, just as she imagined the faces of those beasts, a psychology called revenge suddenly emerged.
Isn't it just death? Then why don't you do something you want to do before you die? And this thing is revenge.
So, in this dark night, the injured Japanese soldiers were moaning, the uninjured Japanese soldiers were sleeping, the Japanese sentries outside the village were vigilantly watching the movements outside the village, and the group of Chinese soldiers had already started to take action. They were trying See if they can get into this village occupied by the Japanese army. They need to pay with blood.
But at this moment, a naked young woman shuffled around in the village and started to get busy.
She used wooden poles to hold up the door of the house where the Japanese soldiers slept, and the door of the house where the wounded Japanese soldiers lived.
She hugged armfuls of wheat straw on the firewood pile next to the house and piled them outside the house where the Japanese soldiers slept.
In the process, she completely forgot that the firewood hurt her skin. How could this little pain be greater than the pain caused by the invaders and bandits?
Finally, she found a piece of charcoal that was still burning from among the burned ruins.
She carefully took the charcoal to the pile of wheat straw she had piled in front of the house, and then she put the charcoal on the pile of wheat straw and blew it.
A small flame appeared, and then the small fire turned into a big fire, and then again. The whole pile of wheat straw burst into flames, and the flames turned into fire snakes and jumped up into the room.
"Hahaha", the woman laughed hysterically. She grabbed a handful of burning wheat straw and ran to another house.
This time, when the fire was lit, the fire started much faster, and in the blink of an eye, the house was on fire again!
How can a small village with only a few dozen households have any large houses built of bricks and stones?
A wealthy family would never settle in a village like this.
So, in the blink of an eye, the whole village was in flames, and the Japanese army was finally awakened!
"***,***" some Japanese soldiers shouted.
They never imagined that a woman they had insulted set the house on fire. They thought it was just the Chinese army they were chasing that had come over.
No one wanted to be burned to death inside, so the Japanese soldiers went to open the door, but the door was blocked by wooden poles from the outside. How could the Japanese soldiers rush out in such a hurry.
So they smashed the doors and windows, and the invaders, who were still arrogant before dark, finally rushed out of the doors and windows in a panic.
At this time, there was a "pop" sound of gunfire, and the naked young woman who was looking at the fire and laughing fell to the gun. She was discovered by the Japanese army.
However, the matter is not over yet.
The Japanese army really shouldn't have fired this shot, just because it seemed that their shot was an order to start a certain battle. At this time, more intensive gunshots suddenly rang out from outside the village!
Countless bullets trailed faint red lines and shot into the village from the darkness.
Under the light of the burning fire, the Japanese soldiers rushing out of the house became a living target for shooting!
It was Shang Zhen and the others who shot!
Shang Zhen was leading people to explore the village. Of course he knew that the Japanese army would place many sentries at the entrance of the village, but Shang Zhen was determined to retaliate against the Japanese army regardless of casualties.
But at this time, the village suddenly caught fire for no apparent reason.
How could Shang Zhen and the others care about how the fire was started? The Japanese army under the fire just became the target of their shooting.
At the same time, Qiu Bo and a few people did not shoot into the village. They maintained their shooting posture and pointed at the entrance of the village.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot, and the red line of bullets was fired towards the exposed position of Shang Zhen and others. That was when the Japanese sentries began to fight back.
But almost at the same time, at the moment when the Japanese sentry fired his gun, Youhua's "t-t-t" sound rang out. What were Qiu Bo and the others waiting for? They were looking at the Japanese sentries who were definitely there in the darkness but didn't know where they were hiding!
But Qiu Bo and the others only fired by one person. They couldn't all reveal their positions. God knows how many sentries the Japanese army placed at the entrance of the village!
A battle continued like this, but in the end Shang Zhen and the others did not rush into the village. An hour later, the gunfire stopped, and no Japanese troops rushed out from the burning room.
Of course there were some who were not beaten to death, but those who dared to rush out were beaten to death in the majority, and those who did not rush out were definitely burned to death.
