The old man's cry echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone felt very heavy.
Unless he is an inhuman beast, who can remain indifferent to such a miserable scene?
With a heavy face, Su Yi walked around the crying old man and walked into the brick kiln. When he looked around, his whole body froze.
The dark brick kiln was packed with people.
They are all old people and have children.
The children were all crying loudly, and numbness and despair were written on every old face.
Under the collapsed half of the brick kiln, Su Yi vaguely heard a groan of pain. He saw a buried body with limbs exposed.
"Someone is buried! Hurry! Come to my rescue, everyone!" Su Yi suddenly screamed loudly.
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed over there.
The team members all rushed in, and Su Yi realized that the order he had just given was inappropriate, and hurriedly added: "All three groups of snipers went to the entrance of the village to guard, and when encountering an enemy situation, they immediately fired to warn! Ma Baojun, take someone with you.
, move all the elderly and children out!"
"yes!"
Now it is much clearer, the team members have a clear division of labor, vigilance, transfer of people, and rescue.
After digging out two mutilated corpses, one large and one small, Ma Baojun came to report. The old man in the village said that five people were buried, two old people and three children.
Su Yi's heart was heavy, and he and his men continued digging to save people in silence.
More than ten minutes later, the bodies of the other two old men were also dug out.
At this time, many team members were actually desperate and felt that they were doing useless work.
Five were buried, four died, and the youngest girl was left. How could she survive?
"Chief, stop digging, forget it..." Sundade said sadly.
"Chief..."
The team members advised Su Yi one after another.
But Su Yi still didn't stop.
He dug hard down from where the sound had come from.
Bai Ruben also stopped, gritted his teeth when he saw this, wiped away his tears and ran over to accompany Su Yi to dig.
The other team members who stopped had no choice but to accompany Su Yi to dig.
At a certain moment, a clear groan of pain came out from beneath the mound of soil that everyone was digging.
Everyone's movements almost stopped subconsciously, and they even held their breaths.
"We found someone! He's still alive! There's still someone alive!"
One team member suddenly shouted in surprise!
This slight hum, which was almost inaudible, cheered up the spirits of the team members who had originally given up hope.
This time, they were no longer digging with Su Yi, but started digging on their own initiative.
Soon, the last buried child was dug out.
This is a little girl of four or five years old. I don’t know whether she is lucky or unlucky. A wooden rafter is placed diagonally on her body, and the large adobe bricks around her prevent her weak body from being completely buried.
It leaves a small space.
But both of her legs were crushed and broken. Her body also had scratches from being hit by shrapnel, and half of her face was bloody and miserable.
She was still alive, but had passed out due to excessive blood loss.
The good news is that her legs are not seriously injured and can be saved. The injuries on her body are not serious either.
As for disfigurement...
Being able to survive is better than anything else.
Bai Ru quickly got busy, and Su Yi sent two people to help her. Then he simply patted the dirt on his body and followed Sun Dade to the group of old people and children who were crying incessantly.
Ma Baojun came up to Su Yi from afar and reported with a heavy expression: "Chief, the situation is probably clear."
"Nangang Tun'er was massacred by more than thirty bandits. They claimed to be from Weihu Mountain and were ordered by Third Master Cui."
"They specialize in killing young adults, regardless of gender. They say they want to prevent the villagers from being recruited by our Labor Party to fight against them, so they attack first. They only leave the elderly and children behind, and tell them that if they are to blame, blame us.
Labor Party…”
"A total of one hundred and thirty-seven corpses were found, including the four that were dug out just now. We don't know if there are any that we haven't found yet. The villagers know our identities and are very resistant to us. I think they must
It was because of what the bandits said that they were angry at us."
"Made, they don't know right from wrong?" Liu Xuncang shouted angrily, "What does it have to do with us?"
Su Yi glared at him, turned back to Ma Baojun and said, "Keep talking."
"Yes!" Ma Baojun continued, "The massacre happened two hours ago. When the bandits left, they also robbed all the food in the village. After they left, the most respected man in the village, Mr. Ge, called everyone to the brick kiln.
It is said that it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and not even a grain of food is gone. The remaining old ones and small ones cannot survive anyway, so it is better to die together, which is considered clean..."
"Old Man Ge always kept a grenade in his house that he got when the Japs were still there. He gathered everyone together and detonated the grenade."
"But he overestimated the power of the grenade, and it is said that before he died, he put the grenade into his arms, so the grenade only killed the old couple and the three people closest to him, and also collapsed half of them.
Brick kiln, everyone else is fine."
"Chief, this is the situation."
All the team members fell silent after listening to Ma Baojun's words.
They looked at the wailing old man and children not far away, and at the corpses that were carried out and neatly placed on the roadside. The sympathy and anger in their hearts could not be increased.
Human tragedy!
Overnight, all the young adults in a village were slaughtered, leaving only the elderly and children who had little ability to survive.
Even so, they didn't leave any food for these people.
Even if it's hell, I'm afraid it's nothing more than this, right?
"These beasts!" Sundade said through gritted teeth, "They no longer deserve to be called human beings!"
"They all deserve to die!" Liu Xuncang said bitterly.
The rest of the team members also shared the same hatred and cursed.
Su Yi frowned and looked around. When he saw Ma Baojun frowning and thinking like him, his heart moved and he asked: "Ma Baojun, what are you thinking about?"
Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked over.
"Chief!" Ma Baojun said hurriedly, "I was thinking that the last time we cleared the bandits was half a year ago. They have not done anything in the past six months. As soon as we came down the mountain today, they massacred Nangang Village. In addition, the villagers also said
Well, the reason why the bandits massacred the village was to prevent the villagers from being recruited by our Labor Party to fight against them, so they attacked first..."
At this point, Ma Baojun's thoughts seemed to have been completely cleared up. He looked at Su Yi in surprise: "If I guess correctly, chief, the bandits may have already known about the fact that our team went down the mountain to suppress the bandits!"
"They know that the decisive battle between our industrial army and the fruit army is imminent, and they can't allocate the manpower to destroy them now; they also know that the instructions given to us from above are to fully mobilize the power of the masses to deal with them, so they simply drain the fire..."
"How did the bandits know this? Is there a traitor among us?" Liu Xuncang asked in surprise.
"Someone has drawn a special identity and is pretending to be loyal?" A team member exclaimed in surprise.
The team members were all surprised and looked at each other suspiciously.
"quiet!"
Su Yi gave a low shout, and after everyone looked over, he said: "When I came in, the director made it very clear that this time the play will not be divided into camps, but all the actors will become a team. So, don't doubt your own people.
, no one pretends to be loyal!"
"Of course, Team Leader Ma's analysis is very reasonable, and I agree with him." Su Yi said solemnly, "Our intelligence has indeed been leaked, and the bandits already know our existence. The tragedy in Nangang is
How they responded."
"But the traitor should be in the base area, not among us. Because if there was a traitor among us, as long as he notified the bandits to set a trap along the way, would we still be alive now?"
The team members suddenly realized, Ma Baojun followed Su Yi's train of thought and said: "And the identity of the person who leaked the information should not be too high. If the bandits knew that we only had more than 30 people down, they would not have such an extreme reaction.
.What they should do more is to ambush us and kill us!"
"Yes, yes! That must be the case!" Sundade agreed, "But this traitor is very dangerous. As long as he exists, I'm afraid he will leak our details sooner or later. I think the top priority is to find out this person and bring him to justice."
Get rid of it.”
"How to find out?" Liu Xuncang said disdainfully, "There are nearly ten thousand people in the base area, and there are nearly a thousand people in our regiment headquarters. Although our training venue is completely closed, to be honest, the confidentiality is not very good. The whole regiment doesn't know about us.
There are very few people out there! To be suspicious, everyone is suspected, how do you investigate them? How do you get rid of them? "
"Team Leader Liu is right," a team member said, "and our mission is to fight bandits. We can't suspend the mission first and find the traitor first when we go back, right?"
Sundade said nothing with a cold face.
Su Yi said: "It is true that the traitor must be eliminated, but this is not our task. I agree with Team Leader Ma's analysis. The traitor's identity should not be too high, otherwise he should leak all the information about us. We should also
He won’t make it to Nangang alive.”
"In this case, now that we have left the base, this traitor can no longer contact us. His threat to us is actually not great, so we do not need to worry too much about this traitor. Moreover, once we report our suspicions to
Above, let them investigate secretly, maybe if this traitor asks about us again, he will be caught immediately!"
Su Yi's analysis made everyone's worries disappear.
He continued: "The question we should consider most now is not what went wrong, but where are the bandits who massacred the village? What are they going to do next!"
"Since the purpose of the bandits is to strike first, they shouldn't harm just one village in Nangang." Su Yi looked serious, "I seriously doubt that they will harm all the young people from ten miles and eight villages nearby!
"
Everyone's scalps felt numb and their hearts felt cold.
Some people don't believe it: "It shouldn't happen, sir. It's okay to massacre a village. They won't really be like the Japanese and implement the three-guang policy, right?"
"These beasts have lost their humanity and can do anything! I think the chief is right!" More people supported Su Yi's view, "They will definitely kill the village again! Chief, what should we do?"
"Of course we have to stop them! We can't just let them go, right?"
"Yes! Although we are actors, we are individuals first!"
"I think things have gone beyond our capabilities and we should ask for help from the base area!"
"The bandits are deliberately provoking us and luring us into taking the bait. I think we should be cautious."
When it comes to the question of what to do, everyone's opinions immediately become diverse.
This is the biggest drawback of the actor team. Everyone has their own ideas, and it is difficult to unify their thoughts.
And everyone has a reason to retreat or escape, and this reason is simply irrefutable.
"I have received the task of wiping out Xu Da Ma Bang's forces, what about you?"
"I have it too."
"I have one too, everyone should have one, right?"
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Su Yi's face.
"Me too." Su Yi nodded and admitted.
"That's good." Someone breathed a sigh of relief, "This is Xu Damazang's territory. Logically speaking, people with mountain eagles shouldn't come here. I wonder if we are using this matter to provoke
The conflict between Xu Dama Stick and the Mountain Eagle, and then take the opportunity to destroy Xu Dama Stick and complete our own performance mission?"
"Yes, yes, I agree, this is the right way!"
This proposal immediately attracted many people's response.
In the end, even Liu Xuncang hesitated slightly, then looked at Su Yi and said: "Chief, I think this proposal is good and makes sense."
"What about these villagers who died tragically?" Sundade asked angrily, "Also, we know that the bandits are going to massacre other villages, why don't we just ignore them and let them die tragically for the sake of the performance?"
"Young master, you are pretending to be great here!" Liu Xuncang, who had always refused to deal with Sun Dade, came back directly, "Are we not caring? We pay attention to strategy! Of course the mountain eagle cannot spare him, but not now, we have to take a step
One step at a time!"
"When you finish it step by step, all the young people in these ten miles and eight villages will be dead!" Sun Dade said coldly.
He looked at Su Yi and said: "Chief, I think we should pursue it. We are indeed actors, but we are individuals first! When we have the ability to prevent the tragedy from happening, why don't we do what we can?"
"Team Leader Sun is right! I think we should avenge the name of the village and kill these evil bandits! Cut them into pieces!"
"That's right, not killing is not enough to make the people angry!"
"It is God's law that these beasts should not die! And we must never let such a tragedy happen again!"
Sundade also has a group of supporters.
"Chief, what do you think we should do?" Liu Xuncang sneered and asked the question to Su Yi.
Su Yi, who had been watching with a cold eye, did not answer directly when he heard the words, but looked at Ma Baojun, who had been silent: "Team leader Ma, what do you say?"
"Me?" Ma Baojun was startled, then muttered: "I listen to the chief."
