"Longjiao, did you hear anything?" Zhao Laozhong asked.
"You heard it, it seemed like the sound of a foreign car?" Changjiao replied.
The two looked at each other, then turned their heads at the same time and headed towards the road leading into the town.
Immediately afterwards, dots of lights appeared on the road ahead, and there were bunches of lights, shining in the direction of Badou Town from a distance, and the faint roar just now sounded particularly clear.
Yes, that's right, it's the roar of a car engine. They heard it when the Japanese came last time.
"Devil!"
"Devil!"
They both shouted at the same time.
"Uncle, go and wake up everyone, and then protect the villagers from moving. I'll hold off the Japs first!" After Changjiao finished speaking, he jumped up from the ground and rushed forward with Hanyang Zaobao in hand. This guy is really a fool.
It doesn't matter how many little devils come in front of you, you can just rush forward with a gun.
"Come back, come back!" Fortunately, Zhao Laozhong was very clear-headed and quickly called Longjie back and scolded him, "The Japanese have come with so many motorcycles, big trucks and iron bastards. They must be a large force.
, you are the only one who wants to block them? I think it’s better to die than to do it.”
Changjiao said anxiously: "Then we can't just do nothing, right?"
Zhao Laozhong said in a deep voice: "You have long legs and fast legs. Go to the county seat and report to Deputy Commander Leng."
Changjiao was a little hesitant: "Where are you, Uncle Zhong? I went to the county seat, can you hold off the little devil by yourself?"
"You don't have to worry about it anymore, just leave." After Zhao Laozhong said this, he raised his hand weakly, as if to hit him, "If you don't leave, be careful, uncle, I will slap you with a big ear brace!"
Longfoot quickly ran away.
Watching the long and strong figure disappear under the night sky, Zhao Laozhong sighed softly, then picked up the old sleeve resting on the edge of the well and fired a shot into the sky.
"Bang!" The crisp gunshot immediately shattered the silence of the night.
Badou Town, which had been quiet just now, immediately became noisy. The militiamen quickly put on their clothes and got up, then grabbed their weapons and rushed to gather outside the town. Members of the Women's Team, Women's Rescue Society, and Children's League also took action to cooperate with the town's work team.
Help the folks in the town to transfer their property urgently, while the people in the town are busy fleeing the rebellion.
Unfortunately, the little devil arrived so quickly that it was already too late.
Zhao Laozhong sighed softly, picked up his old sleeve and faced the Japanese in front.
A moment later, the first tricycle had already entered the shooting range of the old sleeve. Due to the cover of night, the Japanese soldiers on the tricycle did not find Zhao Laozhong who was ambushing beside the road. After taking aim, Zhao Laozhong
He decisively pulled the trigger, but unfortunately the accuracy of the old sleeve was too poor, so he missed the shot and exposed himself.
The Japs machine gunner sitting in the sidecar immediately turned his gun and fired violently at Zhao Laozhong's hiding place. At this time, Zhao Laozhong had just stood up and was about to move, but was hit by the Japs' machine gun and was instantly killed.
After being beaten into a sieve, the weak body was violently punched in the air, and then fell straight down.
After falling to the ground, Zhao Laozhong kept his eyes fixed on Badou Town, silently chanting in his heart: Folks, the devils are coming, run, run, the next moment, endless darkness swept over
, swallowed up Zhao Laozhong's consciousness at once, and the look in Zhao Laozhong's eyes completely disappeared.

"Creak!" An armored vehicle in the Japanese convoy suddenly braked and stopped.
After a while, the window of the armored vehicle opened, and a Japanese officer with a gloomy gaze poked his head out of the window and asked: "Where did this gunshot come from? What happened?"
This Japanese officer was the captain of the Motorized Infantry Brigade directly under the Sixth Division, Jiro Asada.
Then a second lieutenant officer hurried forward and reported: "Captain, the forward team was ambushed by the Chinese Army."
"Ambush?" Jiro Asada said coldly, "This is just an attack by a small group of guerrillas. Don't pay attention to it. Order the 1st Infantry Squadron, 2nd Squadron, 3rd Squadron and Heavy Machine Gun Squadron to immediately bypass Badou Town and continue.
Heading towards the county seat of Shanxian County, the Fourth Infantry Squadron stayed behind and entered Badou Town for mopping up."
After a pause, Asada Jiro continued: "Tell Captain Inoue that everyone in Badou Town, regardless of gender, young or old, will be killed, and all the houses will be burned down. We must use the cruelest punishment to tell the ignorant
The Chinese people who oppose the Imperial Japanese Army and the Japanese Empire will definitely not end well."
"Hai." The Japanese second lieutenant nodded solemnly, then turned around to convey the order.
After a while, the Japanese convoy along the road split into two groups. Most of the vehicles continued to drive along the road. About four large trucks, an armored vehicle, and six three-wheeled motorcycles, but they were separated from the large army.
They separated, turned into the branch road connecting Badou Town, and pounced towards Badou Town with great force.
After a while, the convoy of cars drove to the outside of the town and stopped.
Then, groups of Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trucks, first lit torches, and then rushed into Badou Town with bright bayonets in their hands like beasts. After the Japanese soldiers rushed into Badou Town, they killed everyone they saw and destroyed the houses they saw.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the streets and alleys of Badou Town were filled with corpses of fellow villagers who had fled.
After a while, Jiro Asada opened the window of the armored vehicle again and looked back.
But I saw that the entire Badou Town had been plunged into a sea of fire. In the blazing fire, many Chinese people could still be seen fleeing. The Japanese who entered the town to sweep up were like cats playing with mice, and were no longer eager to shoot and kill.
Instead, they used bayonets to force these Chinese people who had no way to escape into burning houses and burned them alive.
The wails of Chinese people before they die can be heard clearly from hundreds of meters away.
Listening to this tragic wailing, Asada Jiro showed a perverted smile on his face. Yes, this little devil enjoyed this sound very much, and he enjoyed the fun of killing people.

The county seat of Shanxian County, the headquarters of the Third Battalion of the Security Regiment.
It was late at night, but Leng Tiefeng was still awake.
Although the Dameishan Military Division had just won a great victory and had just wiped out the Iida detachment at the Huangnipu stronghold, Leng Tiefeng knew that the crisis had not been resolved.
Because this old devil like Hebian Zhengzo is very likely to jump over the wall in a hurry.
Leng Tiefeng called Gong Haifeng, commander of the third battalion of the Security Regiment, to the front.
"Battle Commander Gong." Leng Tiefeng said, "Hurry up and gather your troops and prepare for battle."
Gong Haifeng was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice: "Is the Kumamoto Division coming?"
"Not yet." Leng Tiefeng shook his head and added, "But they are probably on their way."
"No way." Gong Haifeng scratched his head and questioned, "The little devils have never dared to march at night. Now it's night, how dare the little devils come?"
The Communist Army does not engage in one-note speech, let alone the paternalistic style of the old army. Regardless of official position, anyone can express an opinion if they think it is inappropriate. Therefore, Leng Tiefeng was not dissatisfied because Gong Haifeng raised different opinions. He explained
: "There are exceptions to everything, and we must not stick to the rules..."
Before the last word "gui" was uttered, Shan Da, the captain of Shan County Militia County Brigade, burst into the headquarters of the third battalion out of breath and gasped: "Deputy deputy commander, bad, bad, bad, bad.
, the little little devil is coming, the little devil is coming!"
Leng Tiefeng's official position is the deputy commander of the Dameishan Military Division and the captain of the Langya Team. However, everyone in the military division calls him Captain Leng, and few people call him deputy commander, because Leng Tiefeng does not
I like the title deputy commander, it sounds like a reserve cadre.
However, the militiamen in various counties did not know this taboo of Leng Tiefeng, so they mostly called him deputy commander.
When Gong Haifeng heard this, his expression suddenly became serious. He had just said that the Japs might come, but they actually did?
Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "Captain Shan, don't worry. As long as I'm here, the sky in our Shan county won't fall. Please tell me slowly, where did the little Japanese hit?"
"Badou Town." Shan Da gasped.
"Badou Town?" Leng Tiefeng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked again, "How did you know?"
"It's Changjiao." Shan Da gasped and said, "Zhangjiao just arrived at our brigade headquarters, he said it."
Leng Tiefeng had an impression of Changjie, and knew that Changjie was an active member of the Badou Town militia squad. The reason why Leng Tiefeng had an impression of Changjie was that he not only had a pair of long legs, but was also a human being.
A good long-distance runner, he can run nearly 40 miles from Badou Town to the county seat in an hour.
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng asked: "Where is the other person with long legs? Where is he?"
Shan Da said: "He's at our brigade headquarters. He's paralyzed from exhaustion."
"Okay, I understand." Leng Tiefeng said, "Captain Shan, hurry up and organize the transfer of the villagers!"
"Yes!" Shan Da agreed, turned around and hurried away. Leng Tiefeng turned to Gong Haifeng and said, "Battle Commander Gong, the situation is urgent. You must gather the troops quickly!"
"Yes!" Gong Haifeng agreed, turned around and rushed out of the battalion headquarters, then blew the assembly whistle.
Hearing the whistle, the sleeping officers and soldiers of the third battalion got up one after another, hurriedly dressed, cursed and rushed out of the barracks to assemble in the yard.
Ten minutes later, more than 400 officers and soldiers of the Third Guard Battalion had gathered in the yard.
After organizing the queue, the third battalion commander Gong Haifeng walked up to Leng Tiefeng and said loudly: "Report to Captain Leng, the third battalion of the Dameishan Military Division Fortress Security Regiment has been assembled. Please give instructions."
Leng Tiefeng walked to the front of the queue and stood still, saying: "The Japanese are coming, and they have already reached Badou Town."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng said again: "The Japanese came very suddenly and very quickly this time, so we are probably going to have to fight a tough battle because we have to buy time for the villagers to move! The most conservative estimate is,
We need to hold on at least until dawn. I don’t want to lie to you. After this battle is over, most of you will leave, so before the war begins, I hope you will leave a suicide note."
