Chapter 1072 Broken Bridge
It was dawn and there was no smell of gunfire in the air. Five guns were lying in the woods on the hillside.
These five people are Lu Yifei, Ma Erpao, Wang Xiaodan, and Li Qingfeng. As for the fifth person, they are Dazhuang who drove them out of the village yesterday.
In front of them is a river that is neither wide nor narrow.
It's not wide, the river surface is only a few meters wide.
It is not narrow, but the river surface is not wide, but there is mud on the riverbeds on both sides of the river surface.
It was just early spring at this time. If you want to cross the river, you will naturally not wading over, so you can only walk on the wooden bridge on the river.
The bridge is very simple in structure, which is that there are two columns in the middle of the river, on both sides. There are also horizontal columns that are beamed with mortise and tenon and stuck on the columns. The two horizontal columns are built with wooden boards, which is the bridge deck.
"Dazhuang, do you think the second Japanese will definitely walk on this bridge when they come?" asked a man holding a gun. It was Ma Eryao.
"If you don't believe me, don't ask me to be your guide!" Da Zhuang said angrily.
"Oh, I said you boy, we saved your future wife!" Ma Erpao said dissatisfied.
"Then why don't you save my wife and father?" Dazhuang said dissatisfied.
"Fuck! Don't be ungrateful. Save your father-in-law's family. It's a favor for us to save us, and it's a duty not to save us. I shouldn't have you!" Ma Erpao was unhappy.
What "should" means what you owe. This is what it means in Northeastern dialect, but Ma Erpao learned this usage from Shang Zhen.
After Ma Erpao said this, Dazhuang didn't say anything.
Dazhuang felt that Ma Erpao was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong, so he had to shut up.
Last night, about a platoon of puppet troops sneaked into the village, but their target was the family with the so-called "Seven Fairies".
It is said that China has been five thousand years, and China has been five thousand years. That is China's history.
And in these five thousand years, China has to be in an agricultural society for 4,900 years.
What is the most important thing in farming society? Of course it is food, but what is the most important thing to get food? Of course it is the population.
What is the population? Of course, it refers to men with labor force. The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure. This is how China's idea of favoring boys over girls comes from.
This shows that the family gave birth to seven daughters in a row, which made the old man in that family go crazy.
But so what? Although life is as cheap as grass in this era, since these girls have been born one after another, it is OK to give it to someone, but if you strangle it to death, you will be reluctant to give it up no matter what.
And Dazhuang's wife who had been engaged and had not yet got married is the fifth among the seven fairies.
As Shang Zhen guessed, the reason why the puppet troops sneaked into the village last night was to rob the fifth girl from that family was of course because the fifth girl was beautiful.
However, the puppet troops did evil end and were hit by Shang Zhen and others. As a result, most of them were knocked down by Shang Zhen and his team. The rest were run away and some were captured.
For Yu Shangzhen and the others, this was certainly another big victory, but it was too late for Shang Zhen and the others to take action. The old man in that family, the biological father of the "Seven Fairies", was killed by a puppet army.
Whether the "Seven Fairies" in the family were married or unmarried, they certainly cried miserably, but the troubles were behind them.
After all, only one of their family died, but more than twenty puppet troops died.
The common people can only admit their bad luck if they die, but more than 20 puppet troops die, how can they give up?
So it is normal for people to come to take revenge or even slaughter the village. If the puppet army suffers a loss and cannot come to take revenge, it will be abnormal!
Therefore, when the elderly in the village discussed, the only way was to go out from home to avoid relatives and friends.
And only six of Shang Zhen and the others naturally could not do good things to the end. All he could do next was to block the village.
However, just block it, that is, to set up an ambush in this small river that must pass into the village. Not to mention how many puppet troops could be killed, then it would be just to buy some time for the villagers to transfer.
Shang Zhen was helpless about this. For some reason, he remembered Leng Xiaozhi, who was still unknown. He thought that only people like Leng Xiaozhi could truly protect the safety of the people!
"Okay, my father-in-law is dead, so you can say less for Erpao." At this time, Lu Yifei persuaded Dazhuang to be dismissed by Ma Erpao.
"Hmph." Dazhuang, who had already shut up, looked at Ma Erpao in dissatisfaction, but when he looked at Lu Yifei, his face calmed down, "Don't worry, I will lead you, I will keep my word!"
No matter what, Shang Zhen and the others finally saved his future wife, but in order to repay Dazhuang, they promised Shang Zhen to lead the way for these six of them.
As for where Shang Zhen and the others were going, Shang Zhen didn't say anything, and Da Zhuang didn't ask.
But if Da Zhuang knew what Lu Yifei, who seemed to be quite friendly to him, was thinking, he would definitely jump up and turn against Shang Zhen and the others.
Just because Lu Yifei had a particularly jealous word, he didn't say it at all, and it was impossible to say it.
The words buried by Lu Yifei were like "I said Dazhuang, we not only saved your wife, but your father-in-law is still dead. Didn't you save all the bride price?"
After that, several people stopped talking and looked at the opposite side.
And after about half an hour, with Li Qingfeng's words "Here you come", the five of them trembled all over.
Isn’t it here? Who is here? The puppet army is here!
"This should be the remaining two rows." Lu Yifei muttered.
Yesterday, the five of them, of course, were mainly Shang Zhen and Box Cannon, who destroyed a platoon of the puppet army, and even killed the company commander. So why didn't they just leave two platoons?
"Call the two of you, the commander," Ma Erpao said at this time.
After saying that, the few of them touched the blocks of soil placed in front of them at the same time, and then threw them forward with all their might.
Now they are less than a hundred meters away from the river, and just 40 or 50 meters away, two people are sleeping behind several dense clumps of river willows. They are Shang Zhen and Da Lao Ben.
Because he was worried that the puppet troops would come to retaliate last night, Shang Zhen and Da Lao Ben were on duty for a night's whistle.
I don’t know who threw the small piece of soil and hit Shang Zhen and Da Lao Ben, and the two of them got up almost at the same time.
When Shang Zhen and Da Laobian looked at them, Lu Yifei reached out and pointed to the other side of the river.
What are they waiting for here? It is a foregone conclusion that the puppet army came to take revenge. Shang Zhen and Da Lao Ben turned around and crawled towards the river.
More than ten minutes later, the puppet soldiers with guns and bullets arrived by the river. They just looked at the other side of the river and naturally couldn't see anything. Then they walked in front and boarded the bridge.
Anyone with some common sense of life knows that the river is not wide but does not mean that the span of the bridge is not large. After all, the river has a dry and rising period.
There were more puppet troops walking onto the bridge, and they kept walking on more than twenty, but they almost filled the bridge.
But at this moment, two ropes suddenly popped out from the willows on this bank of the river, and one end of each rope was tied to the two pillars in the middle of the bridge.
If you want to say that the pillar must be two large bowls thick. In order to prevent the wood from rotting, the lower half of the pillar was roasted by fire and coated with asphalt when building the bridge.
Although such wood is definitely not as strong as concrete, it will not rot easily.
But who would have thought that just as the two ropes were pulled, the two pillars of the bridge would be broken from the middle!
Then, when you look at the puppet troops on the bridge, they fall down like dumplings!
At the same time, two people stood up from behind Liu Cong, and they were Shang Zhen and Da Lao Ben!
However, the two of them tried hard to throw the cluster grenade held in their hands outwards.
There are not many cluster bundles, and there are only three grenades in a bundle. However, when the cluster grenade exploded on the riverbed, there were not many of the more than 20 puppet troops who fell from the bridge.
And after that, the box cannon was shot, and the sound of the rifle shooting sounded!
