The thirty-seventh chapter dragon enters the sea (4)
In response to Guo Bingxun's concern, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Old Guo, I also want to rest. [.Com text] But you also know that we are currently blind to the surrounding enemy situation and don't know anything. Whether the Japanese are pursuing the enemy?
We don’t know how far it is from us when we set off. How do you want me to rest peacefully?”
"Lao Guo, you graduated from a famous military academy. You don't need me to tell you. You can understand this truth. The vast plains here are all plains. In this kind of terrain, according to our current situation, let alone being defeated by the battle.
The consequences would be unimaginable if the Japanese got caught up with him, or even if he got caught up with the puppet Manchu army."
Having said this, Yang Zhen clicked on the map and said: "Lao Guo, you see our current position is particularly unfavorable to us. We are on the west bank of the Ash River, between Lalin in Wuchang and Shuangfeng in Acheng.
This place is less than thirty kilometers away from Acheng County. It is also not far from Lalinde, which also has heavy Japanese troops stationed there. Once our whereabouts are exposed before crossing the Ash River, the Japanese and puppet troops in these two places will
Use all your strength to encircle and suppress us.”
"We are now exhausted veterans of the division. Although the ammunition is considered sufficient, after a night of fighting and marching, the physical strength of the brothers, whose physical fitness cannot be compared with that of the Japanese, has dropped to the extreme. By then, we will have no internal strength.
With sufficient supplies and no external reinforcements, it is difficult for us to break out of the enemy's encirclement. What worries me most is that the enemy will block the banks of the Ash River."
"Lao Guo, you don't think that they haven't discovered what we did with the Japs yet, right? Although the Japs haven't figured out where we are going for a while, they should have thought that we would withdraw after breaking through.
In the mountainous area, the Japanese troops are far more numerous than ours and can be easily mobilized. Before they figure out where we are going, at least they will get in front of us and block all our access to the mountains."
"Although the things we do are so that our compatriots will not be harmed by germ warfare, and also so that our brothers can live. But for the Japanese army, we have stung a hornet's nest. If you think about it, if we don't say anything else, it is just for the sake of survival.
If we keep this secret, can the Japanese let us go? What's more, we will also take away all their top bacteria experts."
Looking at Yang Zhen with a tired look on his face, Guo Bingxun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Old Yang, I have something to tell you. When I took action in Dongcun Village, I just removed all the adult men there. Including some older men.
Some are on the older side, because I know that those are their real brains and their real experts.”
"But there are not only Japs experts there, but also some of their relatives. I am not a beast like the little Japs. I really can't do anything to those women and children. Not only me, but my brothers can't do it either.
hand."
"Brothers have all died once. They are not afraid of fighting the Japanese with real swords and guns on the battlefield. But facing those women and children, brothers cannot harden their hearts. Now think about it, what if
I was hard-hearted at that time, which should buy us a little more time."
After hearing Guo Bingxun's somewhat regretful words, Yang Zhen was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't blame yourself too much. Lao Guo, I can't blame you for this matter. We are human beings, men. To attack women and children, every one of us
None of them can do it. Including you and me. If humans are the same as animals, what else do humans need to do?"
"Besides, even if you kill them, how much time can you buy us? That is the focus of the devils, and they are keeping a close eye on it all the time. Li Mingrui will cut off the phone lines there. The devils are not fools, and they will find out soon.
That’s not right.”
"I tell you not to be merciful, and I don't mean to kill them all temporarily. I'm worried that you won't be able to do anything to those experts. Those experts are all older people, and they don't necessarily wear military uniforms. They can get in.
Who is younger at the expert level? And according to the basic ethics of a soldier, it is difficult to kill such people without mercy. Besides, they may not be wearing military uniforms when they are resting."
"But you know, these people are the real soul of the Japanese germ warfare unit. Without Shiro Ishii, it doesn't matter without the base. As long as these people are there, the Japanese can start a new one at any time. The worst is to send a new person to manage it. As long as
If you remove all those experts, our goal will be achieved. So Lao Guo, you don't have to blame yourself too much."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun, who felt a little better, suddenly remembered something, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Old Yang, after you got out of trouble, how dare you let your brothers choose to follow you to deal with the Japanese?"
Or should you break out on your own? Have you already made up your mind that your brothers will follow you?"
"You asked your brothers to search the Japanese general affairs department. Did you intend to let your brothers see those creepy specimens and let them know what kind of fate they would face if they didn't get rid of these people?"
What fate will the family face?"
Regarding Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen did not deny it. He nodded slightly and said: "As the saying goes, seeing is worth hearing a hundred times. No matter what we say, for others, it is better to let them see it with their own eyes than to see it in the future.
If you have random suspicions, it’s better to let them understand now.”
Yang Zhen was not surprised that Guo Bingxun guessed what he was thinking at that time. Guo Bingxun is a smart man and an extremely shrewd person. The little trick he used cannot be hidden from him.
Seeing that Yang Zhen did not deny his speculation, Guo Bingxun was silent for a moment and said: "Old Yang, to be honest, although I believe what you said, I have never experienced it personally or seen it with my own eyes. So I believe it."
I believe it, but I always have some doubts. After all, I have never experienced it personally."
"Even though Lao Peng had said what happened to his compatriots in Wuchang, I didn't pay too much attention to it. It wasn't until I saw those compatriots who had been made into specimens that I completely believed them. The Japanese have no humanity.
We all know this. But this is the first time we have seen such inhumanity."
After listening to Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen did not answer him immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the rising sun born in the east. After a long silence, he answered the question: "Old Guo, what do you think people live for?"
After saying these words, Yang Zhen did not wait for Guo Bingxun's answer, but continued to talk to himself: "I think that most of the time, people live not for themselves, but for other people. Little
When you are young, it is for your parents. When you grow up, get married, and have children, you are for your children."
"How much of your life is really spent for yourself? I can't say none, but I'm afraid it's not too much. The nature of the Chinese nation makes it impossible for us to live as free and easy as Westerners. This kind of life, at least within fifty years
It cannot be changed. You are not an exception, and I will not be an exception."
"Without this war, our lives might go on step by step as I said. You might be a railway engineer, and I might be a teacher. I would marry a wife and have children, and I would work for my children.
Strive for happiness.”
"But this war has changed everything. The reason why we live now is for the country and the nation in a big way, but also in a narrower way, it is not because our children and grandchildren will no longer be slaves of foreign races and no longer suffer the consequences of our generation.
Same fate?"
"Most of the time, we are constantly fighting against fate, and no one is exception. Since fate has arranged for us to take such a path, we cannot retreat at all. No matter what kind of road ahead, it may be full of thorns.
, it may be an abyss, but we can only go on without hesitation and fight against fate to the end. For our children and grandchildren, for our troubled nation, and for ourselves."
In response to Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun was silent for a long time before saying: "Old Yang, I also understand the meaning of what you said. From now on, there will be no Communist Party or 18th Army here, but only a group of people who will always
A bastard who will never bow his head again."
Hearing that Guo Bingxun understood what he meant, Yang Zhen looked at the time on his watch and said nothing more. Instead, he stood up, fluttered the grass blades on his body, and then said another sentence. At least to Guo Bingxun's ears,
Don't say anything meaningful: "It's time to rest, Lao Guo, let's go."
"Old Yang, you are right, it's time for us to set off." Guo Bingxun, who understood Yang Zhen's meaning, also stood up and threw the grass blades on his body and said relaxedly.
It’s just that God obviously doesn’t want Yang Zhen and his party to reach their destination smoothly. Just when Guo Bingxun finished speaking, they were all opening the way ahead. At this time, Huang Dali, who was sent by Yang Zhen to check the situation along the Ash River, suddenly ran away.
He came over and said: "Captain Yang, there is something abnormal up front. Just now, about fifty Japanese troops and more than 200 puppet Manchukuo troops and policemen from Lalin in Wuchang and Shuangfeng in Acheng fired out at the same time. The entire Ash
The river bank is cordoned off."
"Not only did they block the river bank and not allow anyone to cross the river, they also arrested people with foreign accents by the river. As long as they did not have a local accent, they would immediately detain us, making it impossible for us to get close. We were also driven back from the river.
My fellow countrymen know this.”
Listening to Huang Dali's report, Yang Zhen couldn't help but said in his heart: "The Japs moved so fast. They actually blocked the river bank so quickly? Could it be that the Japs discovered our traces, or did they guess our intention to enter the mountain?
Have you adopted the method of casting a net all over the sky?
After pondering the Japs' intentions for a while, Yang Zhen raised his head and glanced at Huang Dali, who had changed into an authentic Northeastern farmer's outfit.
Yes? And where did your clothes come from?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Without asking them, how can I know what those puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers are doing by the river? Also, I bought the clothes I wore with a fellow villager when I was walking through a village. When I was buying clothes, I
In consideration of mass discipline, I gave them one hundred counterfeit coins that Li Mingrui stuffed into me before leaving." Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Huang Dali was confused. Isn't it normal to learn some information from fellow villagers during reconnaissance?
I often did this during the Long March.
After hearing Huang Dali's answer, Yang Zhen immediately said to Guo Bingxun without any hesitation: "Tell the brothers to be prepared to fight at any time. In addition, you must not stay here any longer and move immediately."
After hearing Yang Zhen's order, although Guo Bingxun still couldn't figure out the reason why he did this, he also knew that the situation must have changed, otherwise Yang Zhen would not be in such a hurry. Guo Bingxun did not dare to delay and went to convey the order immediately.
Guo Bingxun went to arrange the things Yang Zhen told him. After hearing Yang Zhen's instructions, Huang Dali was confused but at a loss. He couldn't understand. Didn't he just ask about the situation with his fellow villagers? How could he do this?
So nervous?
Looking at Huang Dali standing aside blankly, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "You don't even think about it. Why are the Japanese arresting people with foreign accents? It's not for us. They are arresting people with foreign accents now.
And you don’t even sound like a Northeastern accent. When you heard the Japanese arresting people with foreign accents, you came back in a hurry. Didn’t you tell people clearly that you were the person the Japanese wanted to arrest?"
"This is not our base, nor is it within the customs. There are traitors and spies everywhere. We have no foundation at all here, and our mass work is completely blank. Even if the person you ask is not a spy, you can guarantee that he will not
To inform?"
"There is also a Japanese soldier who speaks with a Guannei accent. He goes to a village and spends dozens of times the price to buy Chinese peasant clothes. Do you think it will arouse others' suspicion? Even if that person is greedy for your 100 counterfeit coins.
Just because you don't tell the truth doesn't mean that others won't. Don't forget, Chinese farmers everywhere have the habit of getting up early."
"This is not Guan Nei, where the Japanese have a weak foundation, but Northeast China, which has been tightly controlled by them for several years. In order to control this so-called lifeline of Manchuria and Mongolia, they adopted not only a policy of massacre, but also bribery."
After saying this, Yang Zhen shook his head again and said: "I don't blame you for this, it's my negligence. I only thought that you were a scout and had experience. But you ignored the difference between the situation here and inside the pass, and you didn't expect that the Japanese would come from here.
There’s a difference in accent.”
"None of you are from the Northeast, and all of you speak with a Guanhai accent. They also all have a Southern accent that is very different from the accents of the Hebei and Shandong people who traveled to Guandong. It is easy to tell that something is wrong when you open your mouth.
Most of the people traveling to Guandong are from Shandong, so if you speak Shandong dialect, you might be fooled. But with your mouth, even a fool will know that you are from there."
After listening to Yang Zhen's analysis, Huang Dali scratched his head and said: "Damn, I'm from Hubei, Henan, and Anhui. When I open my mouth, I'm different from the people here who can't say anything. There's a big difference. I said that fellow
After listening to my question, he was stunned for a long time before he answered me."
"Company Commander Yang, what do you think we should do? There are not many people from Shandong, not to mention Northeastern people here. In this ghost place, sooner or later, your secret will be exposed. Although you are wearing a Japanese military uniform, you can speak Japanese.
You're the only one. Just because I can't speak Japanese, I managed to change my clothes. Otherwise, I'd be exposed."
"What should I do? I don't know. If it doesn't work, just fight. While the Japanese are only blocking the river bank and haven't formed an encirclement, rush over." Yang Zhen's words were not only directed at Huang Dali, but also at Huang Dali.
Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie said this after gathering the team and returning to him.
