Chapter 1409 Simple and Rough (Second update, please subscribe)
Three people died!
For little Douglas, the death of his friend Tom was the most heartbreaking.
"Why, why do we have to leave? We can obviously continue to fight..."
On the way home, little Douglas asked again.
"If we continue to fight, we will all die!"
Holding the pipe in his hand, Syl said as he walked.
"We are militiamen. What is our mission? It is just to shoot a few shots. There is no need to confront them head-on. Those Ming people are soldiers. What they are best at is fighting. If we continue to fight, we will all die. All we need is
Just kill a few of them."
When Seal finished speaking, Sheriff Willie shouted not far away.
"Sil, you guys will cut down the trees on the roadside soon, don't let them pass easily..."
This is the role of the militia. In the early days of the Revolutionary War, although there was no unified commander, thousands of militiamen spontaneously appeared on the "battlefield". They would fire several rounds of bullets at the marching British.
I thought I had completed my mission and went home.
With the addition of later commanders, the militiamen gradually found ways to defeat the British army. They cut down trees, set up roadblocks, fortified walls and cleared fields, cut off the British army's lines of communication to make it difficult to move, and then carried out surprise attacks when they were unprepared.
When their strength was not strong enough, these guerrilla fighters tried their best to avoid positional warfare with the British army. When their strength was sufficient, they joined the regular troops and attacked the British army together.
Now these local militiamen are doing the same thing. Even on the way to retreat, they once again ambushed the marching troops with rifles at hundreds of distances, and then fled through the dense mountain forests, without even allowing the troops to counterattack.
Opportunity to pursue.
After the car stopped, Xu Guoliang once again saw the body waiting on the roadside for evacuation.
There are six in total.
"Guerrillas again?"
As soon as he got out of the car, Xu Guoliang asked the soldiers on duty.
"Yes, those are the guerrillas. They have now learned how to ambush at close range, but at least a mile away. A few of them will run away after one shot. By the time our people rush over, they will be empty.
I don’t know where the hell I went…”
When carrying those guerrillas, the soldier couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"They are really a bunch of cowards who have the ability to come down and fight with real guns and knives..."
Regarding the soldiers' complaints, Xu Guoliang didn't say anything. Instead, he asked about the circumstances of the attack in detail before getting into the car again.
"Captain, tell me, what's the use of Americans shooting in the east and west? Can it affect the overall situation?"
The deputy's words made Xu Guoliang laugh.
"Two hours."
"What?"
"These few shots have been fired, leaving aside the casualties. A regiment spent two hours here. It waited until it was confirmed that there was no ambush before moving forward again. It took two hours for a regiment. If the combat mission is delayed by two hours, you
Say what will happen?”
Sitting in the car, staring out the window at the high mountains and deep forests, Xu Guoliang frowned, and then muttered to himself.
"The terrain here is more conducive to the resistance of the guerrillas..."
As an officer of the Imperial Military Police, Xu Guoliang once participated in the war in southern Africa as a volunteer. He was very aware of the impact of the guerrilla resistance on the regular army. They may not affect the overall situation, but they are definitely a stumbling block!
Since it is a stumbling block, it must be removed!
"Look at the guerrillas captured or killed by that unit. Check their personal belongings and look for clues of resistance..."
While talking, he leaned on the back of the car seat and pulled down the brim of his hat. Whether he was sleeping or thinking about a problem, he muttered to himself.
"They ran away thinking they had escaped... They could escape the monks, but they couldn't escape the temple!"
Two days later, at about the same time that Douglas Jr. and Seale returned home, a group of Ming troops entered the town. However, they did not break into ordinary people's homes, but went to the church.
This day is Sunday.
When the soldiers entered the church, the people who were praying were all surprised. Amid the commotion, Xu Guoliang walked in slowly. As people watched, Father Mark Lian came to greet him.
"Hello, sir, I am the priest of this church. What can I do for you?"
He did not say that this is a church and soldiers cannot bring weapons in. If he said these words to an intruder, he would not be seeking death.
"Nothing, Father, I am also a believer."
Xu Guoliang made a cross on his chest and said.
"I came here this time to find a few people."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the men and women in the church, old and young. This is the advantage of being here. On Sundays, almost all locals can be found in the church.
When he looked at the people in the church, and the people in the church were also looking at him, everyone felt strange and afraid of this group of foreign soldiers who "broke in", but it did not prevent people from looking at it curiously.
This soldier.
"Gentlemen and ladies, you should know why I am here."
"Sir..."
Ignoring Father Mark's words, Xu Guoliang took something out of his pocket, stretched his arms forward, and when he released his palm, a necklace fell down.
It is a silver necklace with a heart-shaped photo box underneath.
"ah!"
Mary in the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed, that was Siri's, her husband's, and the necklace photo box contained photos of her and her children.
"found it."
Xu Guoliang walked to the woman with a smile on his face.
"Madam, this is your thing!"
While speaking, he put the necklace into the woman's hand and said to her.
"Please, madam, we can go out and talk."
"Sir, she is a lady!"
As soon as Father Mark finished speaking, Xu Guoliang said coldly.
"She is the wife of the resistance, Father. I have enough patience for you and all of you!"
After saying that, he looked around at the people in the church and made an invitation gesture to Mary.
Mary has been discovered!
What would she say?
Syl, Douglas Jr. and others all looked at Mary nervously as she walked out of the church holding the child.
On the grass outside the church, Xu Guoliang looked at the nervous woman in front of him, then at the child in her arms, and asked softly.
"Madam, where is your husband?"
"He, he's out..."
Mary replied nervously.
"Indeed, he did go out and will never come back. He is dead. He was killed while attacking the imperial army!"
While Xu Guoliang was talking, he touched the child's hair with his hand and said softly.
"Now, as the wife of a resister, we will arrest you and take you to a far away place for interrogation. Of course, in the end we will find that you did not participate in the resistance, but this is nothing, we don't care about this,
In other words, I will not tell you what you will say, and you will be released. Well, at that time, you will find yourself in a foreign country. How will you make a living there without any money?
If someone hires you, you don’t have any means of making a living. You may become a prostitute. Of course, in order to survive, this is not shameful, but in the end, you will die miserably on the street. Well, your child..."
Looking at the frightened woman, Xu Guoliang continued.
"Where will she be? Will she end up on the street like you? Or..."
"First of all, sir, I don't know, I don't know..."
The woman's fearful look made Xu Guoliang smile.
"You have a choice. Tell me who left here with your husband at that time. All I need is a few names..."
"Sir, I don't know, I really don't know..."
When Mary shook her head, Xu Guoliang sighed.
"Madam, you have one more chance. I hope you can cherish this opportunity. After all, your child..."
Looking at the child in her arms, Xu Guoliang said.
"Is she one year old? What will happen to him if he leaves you?"
"Oh, God, you, you are the devil, you, you..."
Mary hugged the child tightly, as if she was afraid that the other person would snatch it away. She cried and looked at the other person, thinking that this person was the devil.
"I need a name!"
There was no emotion in Xu Guoliang's tone.
"A name can save both of you! Not only you, but also your child."
Sometimes, the interrogation is very simple and does not even require too many words. You only need to understand the other party's weaknesses, and you will naturally be rewarded.
Holding the child tightly, Mary said desperately.
"Xi, Xier..."
