The three carriages were running on the road, but the people on the carriages became distracted when they heard the gunshots and explosions behind them, especially the idiot who sat on the last carriage and stretched his arms and looked at them.

Where to go.

But what could he see? This was originally a hilly area, and the road was winding. His sight had turned into a forest with all its leaves.

"Alas" Erhanzi sighed heavily.

But no one paid attention to him, but everyone was listening to the gunshots.

Qian Chuan'er could have comforted the fool, but unfortunately Qian Chuan'er was driving the carriage again.

Old Huotou was still sitting on the front carriage with his eyes wide open.

Everyone normally blinks, but Lao Huotou blinks much more frequently than others.

According to his own statement, it was the root cause of the disease when he was a beard. As for seeing something he shouldn't have seen, which caused his eyes to always be in Nakaba, he didn't say anything.

Shang Zhen sat on the carriage without looking back, and he really had nothing to say.

Of course he knew about the tactic used by Old Huo Tou to kill people with a borrowed knife. From the bottom of his heart, he also felt that what Old Hu Tou did was a bit too cruel.

Lao Huotou just asked him a question, and Shang Zhen had nothing to say. Lao Houtou said if we didn't see through the Smiling Tiger's plot in time, do you think we people can still survive?

Shang Zhen is not a person who does not understand the truth.

If they had all been bewitched by the Smiling Tiger using the Mongolian sweat medicine in that village before, then the Smiling Tiger would definitely kill and silence them.

From this perspective, once it becomes a life-or-death conflict between ourselves and the enemy, cheap sympathy will only harm ourselves.

In fact, Lao Huotou gave Smiling Tiger and the others a way to survive. Of course, whether Smiling Tiger and the others could survive would all depend on their own hard work and luck.

As the carriage moved forward, the gunshots from behind became farther and farther away and became sporadic.

Only then did Shang Zhen look back, and saw that the fool on the last carriage was still twitching his head and looking back.

"Alas", the young Shang Zhen couldn't help but sigh, wondering what happened to those poor beards.

Shang Zhen was a witness to the whole thing from beginning to end.

There were about a few hundred Japanese troops coming up the road, but Lao Huotou didn't give those bearded men much time to escape.

They fired at the Japanese army when they were more than 200 meters away from the hill, then retreated and cut two strands of the rope that bound the beard.

It would take a while for the Smiling Tiger men to break the rope, but I don't know if the Japanese army launched an attack immediately, or if they used a grenade to blast them a few times before launching a charge.

If it was the latter, Smiling Tiger and the others would have a little more time to escape.

Of course Shang Zhen understood that Smiling Tiger and the others would not be able to fight the Japanese army as long as they broke the rope.

It's just that it's not that easy for Smiling Tiger and the others to get rid of the Japanese army. At that time, Shang Zhen also looked at the surrounding terrain. There were a lot of trees on the hill, but there were open areas all around.

If Smiling Tiger and the others rush into the open space, they will become living targets of the Japanese army, and it will be their destiny!

In fact, the situation on the other side of the smiling tiger was exactly the same at this time.

The Japanese army had already rushed to the top of the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain and within a distance of more than 200 meters extending from the foot of the mountain to the open area, seven or eight people had fallen. Those people were the cubs of the Smiling Tiger.

In this plan of killing with a borrowed knife, Lao Huotou calculated all the details carefully.

From the moment they discovered the Japanese troops were coming on the road to the moment they started shooting, to the moment they cut two strands of the rope that bound the Laughing Tiger and the others.

He, Old Huo Tou, could not let Smiling Tiger and the others keep breaking the rope, otherwise Smiling Tiger and the others would either become prisoners of the Japanese army or be directly beaten to death by the Japanese army.

And of course he didn’t want Smiling Tiger and the others to break the rope prematurely. If they had just stepped down the mountain, Smiling Tiger and the others would have broken the rope. If Smiling Tiger had a gun in his hand, he would definitely shoot at them as they just ran down the mountain!

Old Huotou certainly has reason to believe that Smiling Tiger hates him more than he hates the Japanese army.

In fact, this was exactly the case. As soon as Smiling Tiger and the others broke the rope and picked up their guns, the Japanese army rushed towards the hill.

When Smiling Tiger and the others rushed to the foot of the mountain, the Japanese army also reached the top of the mountain.

And then, Smiling Tiger and the others became living targets for the Japanese troops who were shooting from a high position on the hill.

Of course, if you don't want such a situation to occur, there is another possibility, that is, the Smiling Tiger himself or a few people left behind to block the Japanese army and buy time for the rest to escape.

But Lao Huotou concluded that that possibility was basically non-existent, and in fact it was indeed non-existent.

A beard is a beard. They definitely don't have the idea of ​​​​sacrifice themselves to save others like the regular army. If they want to run away, then everyone must run together.

As a result, tragedy will occur!

But at this time, the Japanese army's pursuit was still not over. The machine guns and rifles of the Japanese army on the mountain were pointed at a field of wormwood more than 200 meters away. At the same time, dozens of Japanese soldiers dispersed in a semi-encirclement formation.

Heading towards the patch of wormwood.

Although the Japanese soldiers were short in stature, their eyesight was not bad. Of course, they saw a few people from the Northeast Army getting into the grass.

Yes, it’s the Northeast Army!

The Japanese army took it for granted that this small group of people who dared to shoot at them on the way were from the Northeastern Army, because they were all wearing the uniforms of the Northeastern Army!

At this time, in the patch of wormwood, a bearded man was panting and said to the smiling tiger: "Master, let's surrender!"

"Survive, that old kid has shot the Japanese to death, do you think the Japanese will let us go?" the smiling tiger said angrily.

Of course, Smiling Tiger also thought about surrendering.

He is just a bearded man. Don't talk to him about the feelings of family and country. These words are not in his dictionary at all. What's more, Smiling Tiger doesn't know many words. Otherwise, how could he capture that student Liu Wentai as his pawn?

Mr. Accountant?

It has to be said that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the weakness of Great China has made life difficult for the people. Except for a very small number of ethnic minority elites, a considerable number of people have decided their actions based on the gains and losses of their lives and property.

I sacrificed my life for the country, so what does the country care about me? This is also the realistic basis for the large number of traitors that will emerge after the Japanese invasion of Northeast China.

And why did the Bearded Bandit Mountain Forest Team later join the anti-Japanese torrent? That was naturally because of the tyranny of the Japanese army. The Bearded Bandits also had seven aunts and eight aunts, and some of them had their own interests.

But this has nothing to do with the smiling tiger now.

The Smiling Tiger was most likely the most "suffering" bearded man in the entire Northeast Anti-Japanese War, just because he was tied to a chariot by a human spirit like Lao Huotou, and his feud with the Japanese had already been settled.

Yes! He wanted to surrender. Surrendering would mean death. There might be a way to survive if he escaped, so why should he surrender?

"Er Niu, I'll cover you two, you and Xiao Dustpan go and escape! By the way, Xiao Dustpan, give me those two iron guys!" Smiling Tiger said and reached out to take the grenade in Xiao Dustpan's hand.

.

"Master, if you want to run, let's run together!" Er Niu and Xiao Dustpan said at the same time.

"Can I still run at my age? Get out of here! If you two survive and don't have to avenge me, we shouldn't have touched the army in the first place!" Smiling Tiger said angrily.

He also wanted to live, but he knew that he was destined not to survive today.

Surrendering was not an option and he wanted to run again, but there was still about a hundred meters of open space behind him! How could he, with his old arms and legs, outrun the Japanese bullets?

"I say run, you two just run!" Smiling Tiger said, holding a grenade in one hand.

Then he suddenly stood up and immediately jumped to the right.

Sure enough, as soon as he moved, gunfire rang out, and the withered wormwood was immediately covered in grass clippings!

However, the Smiling Tiger did not stop, but continued to crawl forward. He directly knocked the tall grass and shook it.

The reaction of the Japanese army was really fast, and the bullets came after them immediately.

"Run!" Smiling Tiger roared, and then he started to look at the grenade in his hand.

When Erniu stood up, bent down and ran away again with the small dustpan in hand, the smiling tiger was pulling out the pin on the Japanese grenade!

It was his first time fighting the Japanese army, and it was also his first time using a Japanese grenade!

This was all thanks to Erhanzi telling him how to use the grenade when he left it for the dustpan, otherwise he wouldn’t even know how the grenade sounded!

The Smiling Tiger pulled out the pin of the grenade, held it in one hand to steady his breathing, and began to listen. At this time, he heard the footsteps of the Japanese troops approaching.

"Smashing that little copper hat and throwing it out will make it ring. It's definitely not possible to throw it on the ground." The Smiling Tiger muttered like a self-mockery. The first sentence was the original words left by Er Jiazi, and the second sentence was his own.

analysis.

At this time, he heard the footsteps of the Japanese troops approaching.

He glanced back at the two oxen and the small dustpan who were running wildly towards the distant woods under the cover of wormwood, and then turned back. Then, he slammed the small copper cap on the grenade in both hands together.

Then, he gritted his teeth and cursed again, "You old man, I'm *your grandma!" Then he stood up suddenly and threw the grenades out one by one.

But when he stood up and threw out the grenade, the Japanese gunfire also rang out.

Several bullets hit the Laughing Tiger at the same time, and he fell exhausted. A moment later, the two grenades also exploded.

It's a pity that although the Japanese troops were standing close, they were scattered, and the two grenades only knocked down three Japanese troops.

After a while, the Japanese troops surrounded him and gunfire rang out again.

Only this time, the bullet was not aimed at the smiling tiger who had fallen to the ground, but at Er Niu and Xiao Dustpan, who were escaping.

"Run!" Erniu was hit by gunfire and fell to the ground. He threw himself on the ground and shouted with difficulty. At this time, the little dustpan without looking back finally jumped into the woods.

At the same time, Lao Huotou, who was also running away in the carriage, suddenly sneezed.
Chapter completed!
