Chapter seven hundred and fifty fifth hunting action
A meandering river flows gurglingly outside Qinghe Town. The water and grass on both sides are lush under the nourishment of the river. Countless water canals extend from the river, irrigating the large fertile crop fields outside the town.
The stone bridge across the small river is covered with moss and has a simple appearance for some years. Several thick weeping willows grow wildly beside the road, their branches floating in the wind.
A newly built three-story blockhouse stands two hundred meters east of the bridge. A sun flag is planted on the top of the blockhouse, as if to prove who is the owner of the blockhouse.
Standing on the turret, you can see a large area of ​​wilderness, crop fields, woods and reed swamps to the west. To the east, you can vaguely see the large houses of Qinghe Town.
After the Japanese occupied Qinghe Town, in order to strengthen their control, they specially forced the people to build a gun tower at the head of the stone bridge and set up a checkpoint. A puppet army platoon and three Japanese soldiers were stationed there to check the passing people.
Two puppet soldiers carrying guns and wearing big-brimmed hats stood on the roof of the artillery tower and looked around. However, the war was now in chaos. Who would be walking around if nothing happened, so there was no sign of anyone for a long time.
Although there was no one in sight, the puppet soldiers did not dare to relax.
Yesterday, the guerrillas appeared again in Qinghe Town. Not only did they kill several teams that went to the countryside to collect food, but they also defeated Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao and others who were sent out for reinforcements.
Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao and his party rushed out in a car with great force. When they came back, the car was gone, and they brought back many corpses in disgrace. This really shocked the puppet troops stationed in the turrets. When
Is the imperial army so careless?
However, when they saw the dark-faced Japanese soldiers, they did not dare to ask. They hurriedly pulled back their horses and allowed the Japanese soldiers to cross the river and return to Qinghe Town.
The guerrillas inflicted such heavy losses on the Japanese, and these puppet soldiers were frightened and could not sleep a wink because they were so nervous all night long. However, the guerrillas took advantage of the situation and attacked Qinghe Town.
However, despite waiting, I didn't see the guerrillas coming towards Qinghe Town. Instead, several grain collection teams fled back in pieces.
They learned from the food collection teams that escaped that these guerrillas were the guerrillas previously stationed in Qinghe Town, and their strength had increased a lot.
Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao and others returned to Qinghe Town in disgrace without any movement. Although the puppet soldiers were afraid of the guerrillas coming, they still had to guard the bridgehead.
"Do you think the guerrillas will come over?" A puppet soldier looked back from the distant fields and asked another puppet soldier with some anxiety.
Another puppet soldier was also stunned by this question, thinking to himself, who should I ask? I am not a guerrilla, how can I know what they think.
But he still thought about it and said: "I guess they won't dare to fight. After all, our Qinghe Town Imperial Army still has more than a hundred people, and our security army also has a battalion..."
Hearing this, another puppet soldier with a worried face finally breathed a sigh of relief, as his analysis seemed to make sense.
"If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have been frightened all night long."
As he spoke, the puppet soldier took off his gun, sat down on a stone pillar, took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, held a match and lit it.
"Hey, Brother Wei, give me one too." Another puppet soldier looked around and saw nothing, took off his gun and sat down.
"You kid, you took advantage of me, why didn't you buy it yourself?" Although the puppet soldier named Wei muttered curses, he still threw a cigarette to the other puppet soldier.
"Didn't I give all my money to Xiao Taohong? I'll pay you back later. I'll treat you." The puppet soldier who took the cigarette had a smile on his face.
"Sooner or later, you will fall into a woman's belly." The puppet soldier named Wei shook his head helplessly.
Soon the two puppet soldiers standing guard on the roof of the gun tower lit up their cigarettes and started smoking happily.
"Why are the guerrillas so powerful this time? It seems that the imperial army suffered a lot of casualties yesterday."
"Shh... don't talk about this everywhere. The imperial army was defeated and is in a bad mood. If you listen to it, you might get a beating."
"I know, I know, it's just that they have all retreated to the town, leaving us alone in this blockhouse as cannon fodder. I feel unhappy."
The puppet soldier surnamed Wei took a deep breath from his cigarette, shook his head helplessly and said: "In this world of war and chaos, if you can just live one day at a time, you can't care so much."
Hearing this, another puppet soldier also felt sad. The Chinese *** team retreated to an area thousands of miles away, and those of them living in the occupied areas, no matter what, they still have to do everything possible to survive.
There is no way to survive, and being a puppet soldier is the most convenient way. Anyway, you are a soldier to feed yourself, and whoever feeds them now is the mother.
"Stand up for me! Are there any of you standing guard like this?!"
While the two puppet soldiers were sitting there smoking and chatting, the puppet platoon leader and a Japanese soldier walked up to the gun tower. When they saw them leaving their posts without permission, they immediately scolded them.
Seeing their commander and the dark-faced Japanese approaching, the two puppet soldiers hurriedly threw away their cigarette butts, grabbed their guns and stood up to salute.
"Pah-pah!"
The Japs walked up to them, raised their hands and slapped their ears with two blows, which made the two puppet soldiers grimace in pain.
"The guerrillas are outside, and yours, if you don't stand guard carefully, this is... punishment!"
The Japanese had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a pair of sinister little eyes that exuded a ferocious light like a beast. His oppressive aura made the two puppet soldiers dare not express their anger.
"Yes, yes, we don't dare anymore."
Facing the fierce little Japs, the two puppet soldiers had no choice but to nod and bend with smiles on their faces, although their faces were burning with pain.
"Next time, let's see how I deal with you!" The puppet platoon leader also lost face and warned the two puppet soldiers loudly.
Just as the puppet platoon leader on the roof of the blockhouse was teaching two puppet soldiers who were not serious about standing guard, in the water plants on the other side of the river three hundred meters away from the blockhouse, two people were covered with water plants to camouflage their bodies and their faces were smeared with river mud.
The guerrilla brothers lay there motionless like hibernating bears.
Yang Ling and others dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese food requisition team, but Yang Ling did not give up. Instead, he sent countless hunting teams to lurk around the Japanese artillery towers and checkpoints, preparing to further kill the enemy and let Qinghe Town
The Japanese were panicking.
And this three-person hunting team had already lurked at the gun tower closest to Qinghe Town last night. They had been lurking for more than ten hours, but the Japanese gun tower a few hundred meters away was not aware of it at all.
Lying on the cold and wet riverbank in the water and grass can quickly make people stiff and numb, but after training in latency, they have a way to stay flexible.
They took the risk to lurk under the Japanese soldiers' artillery towers in order to shoot the Japanese soldiers who showed up. However, more than ten hours passed and they only saw the activities of the puppet troops and not the Japanese soldiers.
The Japs soldiers now appearing on the roof of the gun tower immediately excited them. They gently raised the muzzles of their guns, loaded the bullets, and prepared to kill him.
