Chapter 826: Battle of Shimen (4)
Meng Jiaqi was very determined to go north. It was more than 3,000 miles from Shencheng to Liuzhen in the depths of Taihang. Thinking about it made her scalp numb, and she had to pass through Japanese-occupied areas along the way.
There are two ways for her to choose to go north. One is to take the train to Taiyuan, and then walk from Taiyuan to Liuzhen. The advantage of this method is that it is fast and can be reached in about a week;
The disadvantage is that she cannot carry weapons. Taiyuan is a Japs-occupied area and there are many interrogations. There are no roads leading to her, so there is a high possibility that she will be arrested by the Japs because she has obvious military characteristics.
She decided to use the second way, which was to go north on foot. She had a map on her, and it was nothing more than spending more time. By choosing this way, at least she could control her own destiny;
After this experience of being betrayed, she no longer puts her fate in the hands of untrustworthy people.
"I must find the team that really fights the Japanese. Chu Xiong, I wonder if you still have that handkerchief?
Do you still remember that there was such a girl who looked up to you?"
Going north to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese was not just a whim. The actions of the government in the past two years had completely disappointed her. If it were not for the protection of Captain Zhou, she would have become a plaything of high officials and nobles.
After seeing through the true face of the government, she had the idea of defecting to the Eighth Route Army. For this purpose, she hid a map and a compass;
She has also been saving military pay, and her tactical bag always contains more than ten days of field rations, which she usually saves.
In the training class, she received various field survival training and various special operations skills. She is also the best sniper in the entire special operations team.
"Meng Jiaqi, believe in yourself, you will be able to reach Liu Town safely!"
Meng Jiaqi secretly encouraged herself. This was her first solo march of three thousand miles, and she had to pass through the Japanese-occupied areas along the way. This was definitely a huge life and death challenge for her. She had a narrow escape, but she did not intend to give up.
.
Meng Jiaqi carefully checked her luggage and found an imported K98 sniper rifle with more than 90 rounds of bullets. The bullets used were Mauser 7.92mm bullets, which are very convenient to replenish;
A Mauser 20-shot pistol with only 3 magazines and 5 special grenades for special forces;
One map and one compass
Field dry food is about ten days’ worth;
22 yuan in silver dollars and 35 yuan in French currency. This was the military pay she had saved for two years, a marching blanket, a special dagger for special forces, two boxes of matches, a small bag of salt, a flashlight, a kettle, and a change of clothes;
Many of them are special equipment she received during this mission. The total weight of the marching uniform is about 15 kilograms.
She packed her bags with satisfaction and started on her way north.
Not far from her, Zhou Weiguo and his party also set foot on the road north to Zhongtiao Mountain. Their direction was actually the same, they were all going north to fight the Japanese;
The difference is that one defected to the Eighth Route Army;
One of those who defected was the Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Force.
All for fighting the Japanese!
If someone in Sichuan knew that the special forces he spent a lot of money to train had been torn apart by his good students and went their separate ways, I wonder if he would yell "Niang Xipi".
Two days later, in Xinwu and Yanjiaqiao Village in southern Jiangsu, several Japanese soldiers and a dozen puppet soldiers went to the countryside to collect grain;
They rushed into the village and drove all the villagers to the threshing floor. Each of the Japs held a rifle with a bayonet in their hands, and the bright bayonets emitted a frightening light.
More than a hundred villagers stood shivering in the cold wind in the threshing floor. A traitor wearing a Japanese fart hat, a tortoise box slung across his body, and a leather whip in one hand walked to the fellow villagers in a swaggering manner.
In front of him, he said loudly:
"Young and old men of Yanjiaqiao Village, I, Yan Lezi, am back again!
In the past, you thought I was a second-rate man and looked down upon me, but now I have surrendered to the imperial army and am eating the imperial food!"
After Yan Leizi finished speaking, he took out his southern pistol, waved it at the fellow villagers, and continued:
"Have you all seen it? This is the gun issued to me by the imperial army. I am now highly regarded by the imperial army. This time I came to Yanjiaqiao Village to collect military rations on the order of Taijun Yanagita.
The imperial army said that they must deliver 3,000 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of meat within one day, otherwise they will all die!"
When the following people heard about it, they were immediately shocked. Not to mention 3,000 thousand rice, even 1,000 kilograms could not be collected. The devils came every day to ask for it, the government's various guerrillas also came to ask for it, and the bandits also came to rob it. The common people had not had it for a long time.
There's food left.
An old man who was strict and had not been out of the fifth server mustered up the courage to say:
"Leprechaun——"
When Yan Lezi heard this, he cursed:
"You're an old man who deserves a beating, right? You called me leper too? Master Yan!"
Uncle Yan Lezi was afraid of angering him, so he quickly changed his words:
"Master Yan, we have been collecting food every two days for the past three days. We all have no surplus food for a long time. For the sake of the people in the countryside, please help us and ask for a little less to leave a way to survive."
"Yan Laosan, stop talking nonsense. You unscrupulous people will not shed tears until you see the coffin. 3,000 kilograms of rice, not a single grain is missing. Pay it all before sunset, otherwise the devils will kill people, don't talk about men."
I didn’t remind you!”
The villagers in the audience were not calm anymore, and they all said that there was no food, and even if they killed all the people, there would still be no food.
Yan Laosan took the opportunity and said:
"Master Yan, listen, everyone has no food."
"Bagayalu, my conscience is greatly damaged!"
A Japanese man who was very close raised his gun and pointed a bayonet at Yan Laosan, stabbing Yan Laosan across the body. Then he pulled out the bayonet fiercely and blood spurted all over the floor.
When the other fellow villagers saw that the Japanese had killed someone, they all became confused, especially the children, who were so frightened that they cried loudly.
Sergeant Yanagita, the Japanese leader who led the team, took out the bastard box in his hand, fired two "bah-bah" shots into the sky, and said viciously:
"Work quietly, otherwise you will die!"
The gunshots coming from the village alerted Meng Jiaqi who happened to be passing by. She could tell from the gunshots that this was the devil's box.
Meng Jiaqi, who has experienced the scourge of the Japs, usually hates the Japs burning, killing, and looting. This reminds her of that nightmare day. The Japs broke into their house, burned, killed, and looted. From then on, she lost her home...
The crowd in the village had begun to become chaotic. A few Japanese soldiers and a dozen puppet soldiers were unable to control the situation. Many people were so frightened that they began to run away.
When the Japs saw that the common people were about to run away, they raised their guns and started killing people. As the Japs' guns rang out, one by one the fellow villagers fell into a pool of blood!
Yanagida, who has always been bloodthirsty, had a beast-like light in his eyes, as if he had returned to Jinling City more than two years ago.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
After Yanagita issued the order, he stabbed a child with a bayonet...
"Bah!"
A vengeful bullet penetrated his big head, and his brain was all over the ground;
The tip of the bayonet was only ten centimeters away from the child, and Meng Jiaqi let out a long sigh of relief.
"Enemy attack——"
"Bah!"
The devil fell down
