The two men let the military dog sniff the body, then patted it on the back and shouted:
"Go! Find them all!"
The big wolfdog jumped and ran in the half-meter-deep snow, and suddenly plunged into a snow pit, barking, scratching and scratching. The two people ran over quickly, and saw that the wolfdog had already dug up a lot of snow, and exposed the snow again. Two corpses.
As the two of them squatted down to take a closer look, the wolf dog ran out again, and soon started barking again in another place.
In this way, the two of them found corpses one after another in the nearby woods, all of which were Beiqing soldiers whose heads had been chopped off. From 11:20 to 12:30, in a little more than an hour, The two men took their dogs and combed through the snow covering about one square kilometer nearby, and found a total of 526 corpses of Qing soldiers.
More than a hundred of these corpses were headless, and the others had heads, but they were all shot in the back of the head, with half of their heads ripped off. There were more than three hundred corpses concentrated together, and they had been burned to coke. There was still a bit of residual gasoline smell. The remaining more than 200 corpses were not burned, but they were scattered everywhere and mutilated by wild beasts.
There were no weapons around these dead bodies, not even a knife. This shows that these people were killed as prisoners of war. If they were killed during a battle, the locations of the bullets could not be so uniform. You can't be without any weapons. The Japanese army won't want those low-quality guns and ammunition from the Qing soldiers. Even if they clean up the trophies, they won't even collect broken knives. Besides, this is not a battlefield at all, and no one has fought in it. trace.
Xu Xiangde analyzed that the Japanese army first used sabers to behead the heads, but after all it was too slow and tiring, so they shot them with guns later. After the killing, they probably wanted to divide them into several piles and burn them, but only one pile was burned. Probably There was not enough time, or they found that it consumed too much gasoline, and the Japanese army's fuel could not be wasted like this. So they just threw the remaining corpses here and let the wild beasts eat them. The more than 300 charred corpses were not eaten by the wild beasts. , and the remaining more than two hundred corpses have been dragged everywhere by wild beasts. Some of them were even dragged to the road and were discovered by Xu Xiangde and Wu Yanbin.
Wu Yanbin held the camera and filmed the whole process of Xu Xiangde leading the dog to find the body. He also suppressed his nausea and filmed wherever Xu Xiangde asked him to. While he was filming, Xu Xiangde broke down the body and "explained" it. The uniform shot location of each corpse, the lack of any weapons, etc. were all recorded. Especially when taking pictures of the more than 300 charred corpses, Wu Yanbin vomited three times and took out what he had eaten in the morning. It was all vomited out, and in the end it was just vomiting yellow water.
Finally, Xu Xiangde took a camera and took pictures of the scene. This was the first massacre scene they found, and now they have all the images and photos.
…
"Okay, let's call it a day," Xu Xiangde put the cameras and cameras back in the car, took down the cooking utensils, and said with a smile, "It's half past twelve, let's eat!"
Wu Yanbin vomited so much that his intestines were about to come out. He weakly supported the truck, turned his head slightly, and looked at Xu Xiangde who was setting up the pot. He gasped and wondered: In a place with piles of corpses, there are still such people. Eat with an appetite.
"Do you want to eat?" Xu Xiangde turned around and shouted, "If you want to eat, come and help!"
But after all, Wu Yanbin still admires Xu Xiangde's spirit. He was born in the Imperial Guard. Although his skills and marksmanship are not good, he has never been on the battlefield and has never seen blood. Xu Xiangde started from the grassroots level as a soldier.
He participated in the Nanjing Defense War, the Pukou Counterattack, and slaughtered so many natives in Nanyang... In the recent Northern Expedition, he probably killed a lot of people. This is the kind of person who can eat and drink where necessary next to the corpses.
Wu Yanbin staggered over and helped Xu Xiangde set up the field pot rack and put on the small aluminum pot. It was time to put snow in the pot, but Wu Yanbin really didn't want to use the snow on the massacre site to boil water. He carried the pot and came to
Under the trees on the roadside, a pot was filled with snow from the pine trees.
Xu Xiangde also cut down a small pile of pine branches, piled them under the pot, sprinkled some kerosene, and lit up a fire. Then, he took two packs of field rations from the car, tore open the tinfoil seal, and put the meat and vegetables inside.
Pour the rice and other stuff in at once and cook it.
"Damn, this thing looks like pig food, it doesn't taste good..." Xu Xiangde stirred it twice, muttered, stood up and said, "I'll skin the wolf and roast it. Brother Wu, your marksmanship
Okay, hold the gun and watch for me here... There are corpses here, don't look back and attract any wild beasts..."
Wu Yanbin held the rifle and watched as he went to skin the wolf. After a while, he took off a hind leg. Then he threw the remaining dead wolf to the military dogs to chew.
Xu Xiangde lit up another fire and put the wolf's legs on iron bars to roast on the fire. While roasting, he squatted next to him and drooled with greed. Wu Yanbin watched with cold eyes and made up his mind not to eat the wolf meat.
.In his opinion, these wolves have all eaten dead human flesh, and if they eat wolf meat now, it is equivalent to indirectly eating human flesh.
Xu Xiangde didn't care about this. After roasting, he gave in to him. Seeing that he refused to eat, he ate all the wolf legs himself. His mouth was full of oil after eating, and he said with satisfaction:
"Well, it's not bad... It's very similar to dog meat, but it's thicker than dog meat and not easy to bite..."
…
After the two of them had eaten, they began to boil water, wash pots and wash dishes. However, the military dog was still eating the wolf. It stuck its head into the wolf's belly and dug into it, until its face was covered with blood. It looked like a wild beast. Wu Yanbin glanced at the wolf.
Looking at the big wolf dog, looking at its eating appearance, my stomach couldn't help but churn.
Suddenly, the wolf dog's head came out, its ears stood up, and it remained motionless. Then, it turned its head, looked around, and slowly showed a fierce look, and its bloody white teeth were exposed again.
"Um?"
Xu Xiangde was as alert as a wolfdog. He reacted immediately, said "shush", and used hand gestures to remind Wu Yanbin to be careful. He grabbed the submachine gun next to him and put the strap on his body. Then he ordered the military dog to stay quiet.
Wu Yanbin also became alert. He put the bayonet on his rifle, grabbed the rifle, and looked around.
Soon, both of them discovered the source of the sound.
To the south, that is, in the direction they came from, they could vaguely hear some kind of "hissing" sound. In addition to this sound, you could occasionally hear the "gurgling" sound of the snow being squeezed. The sound was still some distance away.
.In this low-temperature environment without wind, sound can travel very far.
Wu Yanbin's nervous heart almost rose to his throat. Xu Xiangde climbed onto the truck, half-knelt on the roof, and looked through the binoculars.
After a while, two or three figures vaguely appeared in the flying snowflakes. It could be seen that the two or three people were holding ski poles with both hands and wearing skis on their feet. This section of the road was going uphill, and those people were lowering their heads.
Holding his head, he half-slid and half-walked with difficulty.
Because the visibility was very poor, it was not known how many people there were. But Xu Xiangde suddenly discovered that the person at the front seemed to be wearing a Qing army uniform.
He immediately jumped down from the roof of the car silently, took two grenades from the car, and stuck them in his waist.
"The other party is wearing a Qing army uniform but riding on skis. It's very weird... They are probably Japanese and want to kill us... But the other party hasn't found us yet. After they find our car, they will definitely look for us... This
There is no way to escape a battle."
Xu Xiangde concisely explained a few words to Wu Yanbin and quickly laid out an ambush plan.
The two of them ambush on both sides of the road. Xu Xiangde used a submachine gun to ambush beside the road. Wu Yanbin was better at shooting and used a rifle to ambush on the hillside fifty meters away. Because the visibility was very low, fifty meters away was already concealed enough.
Yes. Throw the grenade before firing.
After the arrangement was completed, Wu Yanbin grabbed the rifle and jumped over the road and ran towards the hillside. Xu Xiangde grabbed the submachine gun, called the military dog, retreated to the other side of the road, and squatted down in the snow pit. The military dog lay beside him obediently.
, sticking out his tongue and saying nothing.
…
The "hissing" sound of skiing got closer and closer, and suddenly stopped.
There were ten people, all wearing Qing army uniforms, but each one was wearing a white camouflage cloak. Eight of them were carrying a Mauser rifle with a scope, one was carrying a Czech light machine gun, and one was carrying a Czech light machine gun.
Carrying a bullet box.
The soldiers of this squad stood in the middle of the road, looking warily at a large truck on the road ahead. The leading soldier raised his hand, and ten people quickly took off their skis, tiptoed off the road and dispersed. Eight people carried the truck
The rifle with the bayonet was in front, and the two light machine gunners were in the back. The group of people slowly stepped on the snow and searched forward on both sides of the road.
When they arrived next to the big truck, the leading squad leader made another gesture, and everyone stopped and lowered their postures. A soldier quickly ran over with a gun in his hand, looked around the truck, and suddenly lifted up the rear canvas with his bayonet.
Meng jumped up to take a look, then jumped down again. Then, he ran towards the two fires on the roadside and lowered his head to check.
The fire had not gone out, and the soup in the pot was still hot and had not yet frozen. The soldier immediately made a judgment and turned around to make a warning gesture.
All this was seen by Xu Xiangde, who was lying more than ten meters away. He slowly unscrewed the caps of the two grenades and placed them in front of him. Then he took off his gloves, grabbed one of them, and put his index finger into the ring.
The scout searched for footprints in the middle of the road and found that apart from the messy wolf paw prints, only two people had been active here. His eyes followed the footprints and looked towards the hillside on the right. But the snow was too heavy.
Not far away, the footprints were obscured by the snow curtain.
Then, his eyes followed the other footprints and looked towards the other side of the road.
On the hillside on the right side of the road, Wu Yanbin was lying in a snow pit, squinting one eye and watching the scout's every move in the cross mark of the scope. Such a close distance and no wind, what kind of "measurement"
There is no need to think about it, just aim directly. The white snow makes it easy to hide... There is no better environment for sniping than this.
But at this moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he kept thinking silently:
...Brother Xu...why haven't you thrown the grenade yet...he's about to find you...
Xu Xiangde on the other side of the road was so nervous that he could hardly breathe at this moment. If the best effect of the ambush was required, the first grenade must be thrown at the nine people behind. But Wu Yanbin must cooperate with him quite tacitly.
You have to shoot and knock down the person in front of you in the second second. Otherwise, as soon as you throw the grenade, the scout will shoot at you.
Now Xu Xiangde no longer believes that these people wearing Qing army uniforms are Qing soldiers.
...Yes, these people are well-trained Japanese scouts, not Qing soldiers with poor combat effectiveness... Moreover, this group of scouts was sent by the Japanese Manchuria Dispatch Army to hunt down the two of them... They also wore Qing army uniforms
The uniform was obviously intended to be blamed on the remnants of the Qing army...
Thinking like this, Xu Xiangde prayed in his heart for Wu Yanbin's tacit cooperation while pulling the grenade's tab.
A puff of green smoke came out.
…
On the hillside on the right, Wu Yanbin saw the small plume of smoke at Xu Xiangde's position through the scope. His heart was beating wildly and he steadily locked the Japanese scout in the middle of the cross cursor.
Xu Xiangde was very experienced and did not throw it immediately, but waited for three or four seconds. But to Wu Yanbin opposite, these three or four seconds seemed like three or four hours.
The grenade flew, drew an arc in the air, accurately flew over the heads of the nine Japanese soldiers behind, and exploded before landing.
There was a loud noise, like an avalanche.
Almost at the same time, Wu Yanbin pulled the trigger, and the scout at the front fell to the ground.
Wu Yanbin kept reciting "I killed, I killed," while skillfully withdrawing and pushing the bullet, throwing the gun over the muzzle, aiming at the place behind where the explosion had just occurred.
The explosion site was still filled with snow and fog, and things were still unclear. Wu Yanbin took a deep breath and waited quietly.
Xu Xiangde timed it very accurately. The grenade did not explode on the ground, but exploded in mid-air above the heads of several people. The lethality was amazing. The first one ripped off the heads of four people. The other five people were shocked to the ground. Then
, several shrill shouts in Japanese.
When the snow and fog dissipated, five Japanese soldiers grabbed their guns and jumped up, finding places to hide. One Japanese soldier had just settled under a tree when another gunshot was heard on the mountain, and the Japanese soldier fell to the ground. The other Japanese soldier fell to the ground.
The four Japanese soldiers discovered the direction of the fire. They all lay down in the snow and aimed at the hillside. One of the soldiers pulled a light machine gun and lay on the ground aiming at the hillside.
Wu Yanbin lay firmly in the snow nest, not daring to shoot anymore. The opponents were all selected killers, and their shooting skills were definitely good. Especially when they had a light machine gun.
At this time, another grenade flew in, and it still exploded in the air, killing two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground on the spot. At this time, a loud shout came from where Xu Xiangde was hiding:
"rush!"
A big wolf dog sprang out like lightning and pounced on the Japanese soldier holding a light machine gun, biting him desperately. Another Japanese soldier turned around and aimed his gun at the dog. At this time, Xu Xiangde stood up and fired one burst from his submachine gun.
, beat him to death.
The Japanese soldier on the ground was still screaming, struggling with the wolf-dog, and uttering intermittent Japanese words. Xu Xiangde ran forward, shouted at the wolf-dog, picked up his submachine gun and shot him in the chest again.
The sound of gunfire dissipated and the forest returned to silence.
The last Japanese soldier also tilted his head, blood foam came out of his mouth, and died.
