The War of Resistance

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, there are flames and black smoke rising, and then there are the heart-rending cries of women and children, and mixed with them are the initiators of this tragedy. There are invaders' bayonets flashing in the sun. There were Japanese machine guns firing "click-click-click".

The burning continued, and many people were killed in the open space of the village. They were men who were not willing to let the invaders take away their wives and children and let them oppress them.

And when everything returned to calm, a team escorted by the Japanese army appeared on a road.

Dozens of women were tied into strings with long ropes by the invaders, and on both sides of them were short Japanese soldiers holding long rifles.

The women were disheveled and hobbled. They could only walk mechanically, like puppets that had lost their emotions.

By this time, no one resisted, because those who dared to resist would either be killed by the Japanese army, or raped and then killed by the Japanese army.

The invaders naturally have the logic of invaders. Since they cannot attack across the Huaihe River for the time being, they will cause trouble on the south bank of the Huaihe River.

Previously, the war was tense and there was no time to rage, but now they finally have time, so the invaders always need to vent their bestiality and establish their power.

But at this time, the humans and humanoid beasts walking on the road did not notice that their movements had fallen into the eyes of a person in the distance.

"Qiu Bo, what did you see? Tell me quickly." Someone next to the man asked eagerly. It was a string of money wearing ordinary people's clothes.

"The stupid little devils captured a large number of young girls and young wives." Qiu Bo, who was holding a telescope, answered.

"I know, the smoke in the distance is because the Japanese massacred that village again, and by the way, brought back those older girls and younger wives to cause trouble." Qian Chuan'er guessed it as soon as he heard it.

"Then you say we won't save those women?" Then the third person asked, that was Ma Erhuzi.

"If we rescue them, we will be exposed again. I'm afraid we won't be able to find Shang Zhen again. Besides, we have rescued them. I wonder if our two boats can bring them back to the north bank." Qiu Bo thought. answer.

"But -" Ma Erhuzi said no.

But before he could say the content behind this "but", Qiu Bo had already said again, "But we don't help the people when we see them in trouble, so why are we still serving as soldiers?

Qian Chuan'er, please go back and explain the situation to Old Uncle Wang. The kidnappers are on both sides of the team, less than twenty of them. I think those at the back are puppet troops. There must be a platoon. "

"Okay!" Qian Chuan'er responded, turned around and ran back.

Just a few minutes later, Wang Laomao, who was leading the team behind, learned that the Japanese army had kidnapped dozens of women.

Under the gaze of the surrounding soldiers, Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh: "The little devil has robbed our Chinese women. Now that we have caught up, we can't help but save him. But Mr. Shang can only look at his own destiny."

So the soldiers around were all speechless. They were unwilling but had nothing to say.

It has been a week since Shang Zhen led people across the river to grab weapons from the Japanese army.

Because Wang Lao Mao was old, Shang Zhen did not let Wang Lao Mao follow him to participate in the battle, but stayed at the place where the ferry was parked to provide support.

But who would have thought that those and others from the Northwest Army had already returned. In the end, only Shang Zhen, who went to lure away the Japanese army, was missing.

Although their team successfully returned to the ferry, the Japanese army followed them again.

In that case, Wang Laomao and the others had to take a boat back to the north bank of the river, and Shang Zhen was left alone.

In the view of these men of Shang Zhen, it should not be difficult for Shang Zhen to escape from the Japanese encirclement with his ability. However, they waited on the north bank of the river. More than a week passed and Shang Zhen never returned.

Some of the soldiers speculated that Shang Zhen might not be able to get a boat to cross the river for the time being.

Some people also speculated that he was staying in a safe place at this time.

Some people even made nonsense and said that maybe Shang Zhen was drinking and eating meat in a restaurant somewhere at this time. He was really happy!

What does this situation look like? This situation is like the emperor's new clothes. Everyone is using their imagination to imagine Shang Zhen's possible happiness, but no one would say that Shang Zhen might be killed by the Japanese gun.

In the end, the soldiers' expressions changed because of Gao Yuyan's words.

Gao Yuyan said directly, why didn't you say that Shang Zhen directly married a daughter-in-law on the south bank of the river and was giving birth to a child?

Then Gao Yuyan cried, and she said, I don't care about Shang Zhen's original daughter-in-law or me. If there is no woman to accompany Shang Zhen, who will he go to to sleep with and have children?

Needless to say, using Northeastern adjectives, Gao Yuyan is extremely beautiful, or in other words, extremely beautiful.

When Gao Yuyan cried like that, she really cried like a pear blossom and brought rain to her eyes. I felt pity for her!

The fig leaf was torn down by Gao Yuyan's crying. In that situation, if anyone can sit on the bench again, he is not a man!

Then Mr. Wang started to curse.

What Mr. Wang is scolding is, you said you are useless snacks. This is the first time I didn’t follow you to sort out the matter. Why did you leave Shang Zhen alone on the south bank of the river?

At that time, Mr. Wang said such righteous words, as if he didn't bring Shang Zhen back to the south bank of the river and had nothing to do with him!

But among the veterans under Shang Zhen, who is not familiar with Mr. Wang’s style? No one exposed his hypocrisy.

Then Mr. Wang asked the company commander of the Northwest Army for a boat, and personally led people to the south bank of the river to look for Shang Zhen!

But how could it be that Shang Zhen was so easy to find? This is already the third time Wang Laomao and the others have come to search.

Not long after crossing the river for the first time, they collided with a Japanese soldier. The enemy and we fired at each other on the plain. In the end, Mr. Wang and the others could only return by boat without success.

The second time, their points were even more memorized.

It was impossible for them to go directly across the Huaihe River from Xiaobengbu. In that case, the Japanese army could sink the ship directly for them!

They crossed the Huaihe River dozens of miles upstream from Xiaobengbu, but when they just reached the south bank of the river, a Japanese airboat came from the downstream.

Thanks to the fact that the place where they parked the boat was a fork in the river, everyone pushed and rowed and finally hid the boat so that it was not discovered by the Japanese airboat.

The second search for Shang Zhen ended up being fruitless.

And this was the third time they came out to look for Shang Zhen.

Worried about hitting a Japanese motorboat again, they came in two boats this time.

Originally, they could not have come out in such a hurry, but news came from above that the 337th Brigade was about to change defenses!

As a result, the search for Shang Zhen became more urgent. No matter what, they were unwilling to find Shang Zhen.

But who would have thought that now we would encounter a group of women being kidnapped by the Japanese army.

Wang Lao Mao didn't want to worry about it, but there was nothing he could do. According to Qiu Bo's observation, there really weren't many Japanese troops this time, and now Wang Lao Mao and the others were in a favorable terrain.

Therefore, there is no telling whether Shang Zhen can be found, so let’s solve the immediate matter first!
