Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen Picking Six Devils

The devil's speedboat was extremely fast, Li Jian raised his hand and walked back, and the devil's speedboat had reached the shore.Li Jian continued to meet him, in order to separate the devil from the brothers behind, so that they could go farther quickly. The devil landed.A small captain led six devil soldiers.The squad leader drew out his saber, and the ghost soldier walked towards Li Jian with a bayonet-mounted rifle. Li Jian stopped.The ghost soldiers surrounded Li Jian. The leader of the ghost team asked Li Jian: "Your work, what are you doing?" Li Jian replied, "It's a small business."

The leader of the ghost team asked again: "Your, where are you going?" Li Jian replied, "I'm going to Suzhou for business." The leader of the ghost team asked again: "What do they do?" He pointed behind Li Jian. Li Jian didn't look back: "They are my buddies." He didn't know that Jin Guangri and the others didn't leave, but watched from a distance, touching the guns and grenades in their arms, ready to help at any time. "Why don't theirs come?" "They are afraid of the imperial army." The leader of the ghost squad shrugged his oriental beard on his lips, and laughed "hahaha" for a while. "Don't be afraid. There are no swearers, no beaters, no murderers from the imperial army. The imperial army and the Chinese people have a great chance to coexist and prosper!"

Li Jian said: "Since Da Da is good, what do you mean by holding me with a gun?" The leader of the ghost team looked Li Jian up and down: "Your work on the eighth road? The work on the earthy eighth road?" Li Jian said: "How can I be qualified to be the Eighth Route?" The leader of the devil squad suddenly roared: "Ah!" He raised his saber in a chopping motion: "Your conscience is broken!" He didn't chop. Li Jian stood upright, unmoved. "Yoxi! Yoxi! Are you afraid?" Li Jian said: "Just now you said that the imperial army did not swear, beat or kill people, so I am not afraid."

Captain Guizi put down his saber, and laughed again for a while.He motioned to a devil soldier. The devil stood at attention, "Haha!" Holding a rifle in one hand, he walked up to Li Jian, and motioned for Li Jian to raise his hand, and he wanted to be searched. Li Jian has a pistol and a grenade in his waist, and his stuff will be exposed as long as he touches it.He shook his heart, and when the devil soldier reached out to touch his waist, he leaned over, put his right arm around the devil soldier's neck, and grabbed the devil soldier's rifle with one hand. All the devil soldiers exclaimed and took a step forward, and the leader of the devil squad also raised his sword.

Li Jian shouted: "Little devil! Aren't you talking about the spirit of Bushido? Let's fight with bayonets!" As he spoke, he shook his rifle. The devil squad leader understood. "Yoxi! Yoxi!" He chattered a few words to the ghost soldiers. The ghost soldiers said in unison: "Hey!!!" They pulled the bolts of their guns one after another, ejected the bullets from the chamber with a crackling stance, and made a stabbing posture. Li Jian let go of the ghost soldier's arm, and the devil soldier went limp.Li Jian strangled him to death. The ghost soldiers lined up in a single file, the captain of the devil stood aside and waved his saber, and a ghost soldier took a few steps forward with a stabbed rifle, holding his posture.

Li Jian raised his rifle and stepped forward. The devil soldier yelled "Yeah" and stabbed him with a knife. Li Jian stood in T-shaped steps, and the devil stabbed him with a knife. He stabbed with a spear, stepped forward, and shouted "Kill!"The bayonet pierced into the ghost soldier's chest and passed through his back.He kicked the devil's body down, pulled out the bloody bayonet, took two steps back, and stood still. The leader of the devil squad waved his saber again, and another devil came out, took a few steps forward, and made a slashing posture. Li Jian picked up his gun and waited for the devil soldiers to stab him.The ghost soldier also said "Ah!" and stabbed Li Jian with a knife.Li Jian did the same, with a wave of guns, stepped forward, and shouted "Kill!"It also gave the third devil a heartbreak!

The fourth devil came up.This devil has learned the lessons of the first two, holding a rifle, but refuses to attack first. Seeing that the devil refused to attack, Li Jian stomped his feet and shouted "Kill!"But feinted a shot.The devil soldier thought he had been stabbed, so he swung his gun fiercely.Unexpectedly, Li Jian's bayonet didn't reach out, he made a space for it, and then used too much force, the gun and hand were thrown to the left, and his face was empty, before he could take it back, Li Jian's bayonet had already been inserted into his chest. throat! The leader of the devil squad became anxious, and with a howl, the three devil soldiers stepped forward, forming a triangle with their guns in hand, and surrounded Li Jian.

Li Jian was not panicked, but he was admiring the bayonet of the 38-style rifle he was holding.On the battlefield, he also fought with the Japanese invaders many times.At that time, he was using a "Zhongzheng" or "Hanyang-made" rifle. The bayonet was bent after picking two or three devils, and he could no longer use it. Now, he used the devil's 38-style rifle and picked three in a row. There was no damage!He couldn't help boasting: "Damn it, the devil's stuff is real!" The three ghost soldiers surrounding Li Jian yelled "Wow" and turned around, watching for the attack.Without hesitation, Li Jian found one, stepped forward, and "killed"!He stabbed it with a knife.The devil was unprepared, and when he saw the knife stabbing him, he used his spear to stab him. Unexpectedly, Li Jian's thrust was too strong, he didn't push Li Jian's gun away, and the bayonet had entered his chest.

The other two ghost soldiers hurriedly stabbed at Li Jian's side and back. Li Jian took advantage of the momentum of the sprint and ran forward a few steps, causing the two ghosts to stab in the air. Li Jian turned around and pointed his gun at the two devils. The two devils were a little flustered and couldn't make up their minds about how to attack.At this time, the two sides were separated by five or six meters and confronted each other for a while. Li Jian stomped his feet suddenly and shouted "Kill!" He jumped forward, as if about to launch a surprise attack, his posture was very fierce.The two devils fired their guns together in panic.Unexpectedly, Li Jian only jumped two or three meters, then stopped abruptly and stood still, and retracted the gun. Seeing that the two devils had made room, Li Jian stood still again, and hurriedly retracted the gun.At this moment, Li Jian shouted loudly, jumped up, "Kill!"With a cry, he stabbed a devil.Seeing this sudden attack, the other devil stabbed another one down, and retreated in shock. Li Jian pulled out his bayonet and shouted again: "Kill!" The bayonet turned around and stabbed at the last one.

The six devils were lying on their backs on the beach. The leader of the ghost squad was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his saber and slashed at Li Jian.Li Jian knocked the saber away with his rifle.The leader of the devil team drew his pistol.Li Jian pulled the trigger of the rifle, and with a "bang", a rifle bullet flew into the head of the devil squad leader. It turned out that this rifle was won by Li Jian by hugging a devil soldier.At that time, the leader of the devil squad had not ordered the devil soldiers to withdraw the bullets from the guns. The battle here was over, and Jin Guangri and others who were watching from a distance over there ran towards Li Jian, cheering.

Li Jian was still playing with the devil's rifle, muttering to himself: "Damn it, the devil's stuff is so easy to use, no wonder they show their prestige on the battlefield!" Jin Guangil came in front of Li Jian, held Li Jian's hand, and was overwhelmed with admiration: "Amazing! Amazing! One person with one gun, seven of them were knocked down!" Li Jian also fiddled with the rifle, recalling that year: "From the first day I entered the military academy, I practiced chopping and stabbing on the playground every day. When I arrived in the army, I trained soldiers and practiced chopping and stabbing every day." As he said, he seemed to have returned to training soldiers on the playground. , Standing at attention first, shouting "command", "Ready to use the gun!" Picking up the rifle, he shouted again, "Forward! Forward! Back! Back! Forward! Forward! Kill! Kill!" Jin Guangil laughed out loud, "It's like this—it's like this on the playground." Li Jian then dropped his gun and sighed, "I don't know when I will be able to return to the army." Jin Guangil said: "Isn't it easy? If you want to go back to the army, I will go to Jiangbei with you to find Gu Zhutong in the third war zone. Soldiers like us are still welcome." Li Jian said: "I have a classmate at the same time, who was assigned to Gu Zhutong's army. Gu Zhutong thought he was good. He was used as a guard platoon leader, and later he was promoted to a guard battalion commander. Let's see, or go to him one day... ..." But his tone was not sure, it was just talking. Jin Guangil looked at the leader of the devil lying on the ground: "This devil is quite unusual, instead of arresting people, he even started playing with bayonets." Li Jian sneered: "Although the devil is cruel, he is also very stupid. He wants to show the spirit of Bushido!" Someone asked, "What shall we do?" Li Jian thought for a while before saying: "It's easy to do, take off the devil's military uniform, wash off the blood stains with river water, wring it out as much as possible, put it outside, and it will dry quickly when the wind blows. "Throw the devil's body into the river, and bury the blood on the beach with sand. We put on the devil's military uniform, and Lao Jin can speak Japanese, so we pretend to be the leader of the devil's team. We take the devil's speedboat and go back to Shanghai." Everyone believed that this plan was feasible and acted immediately. The devil's uniform was stripped off, and the body was thrown into the river. The blood on the beach was covered by sand with everyone's feet.So I cleaned the devil's bloody uniform, wrung it dry and put it on the outside of my own clothes, and then everyone boarded the speedboat. Li Jian was driving a speedboat, speeding along the Yangtze River. Along the way, Jin Guangri used Japanese to get past the river patrol speedboats that encountered Japanese devils twice. They docked grandly at the pier where the Yangtze River passenger ship was moored.Seeing that the people on the barge were devils, no one dared to say anything. This is Huajie. After Li Jian and others landed, they lined up and walked on the street, like a devil's patrol team.The patrol team that bumped into the devils was not stopped for questioning, and they passed each other. It was already before dawn, and there were no people on the street, and even passing vehicles were rarely seen.They approached the concession, took off the devils' uniforms, unloaded several rifles, smashed the butts and threw them away, and then mixed into the concession with dung trucks and vegetable carts. When they returned to the cattle killing company, it was already daylight. Li Jian called Wu Yanan, explaining that there were several wounded, and asked him to try to treat them.Wu Yanan quickly sent a car to take the wounded to Huashan Hospital. Li Jian changed his clothes and said to Jin Guangil, "I'll go back to Jing'an Temple Road first, and I'll see if the brothers are back tomorrow." Jin Guangil said: "Go back and rest, I'm too sleepy." Just as I was talking, Gao Xinghua came. Li Jian hurriedly asked: "Is there any movement?" Xinghua blinked: "No, it's very peaceful." Li Jian and Jin Guangil looked at each other and couldn't help exhaling. Gao Xinghua looked at the two of them: "Do you have any action?" Li Jian rushed to answer: "No. It's not ready yet." Then he said, "If there is any action, I will notify you to cooperate." Gao Xinghua said: "Ah. If you want to do it, it must be an earth-shattering action. Old Li, can I participate?" Li Jian said, "It's better for you not to expose, this will better cover us." Just as he was talking, a young man came in with a razor in his hand: "Old Jin, do you want to shave?" Jin Guangil said: "If you want to shave, go to the fire after shaving off." After hearing this, Li Jian said, "Let me have a scratch too." Xinghua smiled and said, "You don't look good in a suit if you're shaved off, and besides, Miss Bai doesn't talk about you!" Li Jian said: "Don't worry about her. In the army, I shaved. In the past few months, my hair has grown up, and the roots are standing on end. She has to oil me, blow dry me every day, and try her best to flatten and shave me. Save everyone trouble." Jin Guangri went to fetch a basin of hot water.Li Jian washed his hair and asked the young man to shave.After a few scratches, the young man will put a steel knife on the leather cloth. "Oh, Lao Li's hair is harder than Lao Jin's 丨" Jin Guangil said: "Of course, Lao Li is better than me in everything, so I admire him." Li Jian's head was finally shaved.He stroked his bald head and said, "It's so cool! It's so cool!" Gao Xinghua smiled and said, "It's cool, wait until you get home and be complained by Miss Bai." "Hmph, I don't like it, I'll leave!" Li Jian put on his coat and said, "I'm leaving." Then he said to Gao Xinghua, "Lao Jin played cards all night last night, let him rest, you can come back tomorrow. " Gao Xinghua looked at Jin Guangil and said, "Really? Well, let's go together." "We don't agree." Li Jian said, "I drove here, but the car is still parked in the yard." He walked out. Li Jian returned to Jing'an Temple Road.Bai Guang hasn't woken up yet. Li Jian was already hungry, so he asked the maid to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles to satisfy his hunger. Bai Guang didn't get up until after noon.She came to the living room with sleepy eyes, and when she saw Li Jian's shaved head, she made a fuss and yelled, "Oh, why did you become like this?" Li Jian thought to himself, Gao Xinghua guessed it right: "What? Isn't it human?" Bai Guang looked at Li Jian's expression, and suddenly smiled again: "You stand still, let Mimi take a good look again." She tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly slapped her, "Ha! It's better to shave your head, It looks more masculine.” Li Jian was thinking that as soon as she complained, she would start a war and break through a gap as a reason for retreating.Unexpectedly, her attitude changed suddenly, and she admired it instead.He couldn't help being a little disappointed. "Mimi, why do you say something against your will?" "Why is it against your will?" She argued, "Yes, I admit that some women like handsome, handsome, handsome men who are gentle, gentle, and even feminine. However, there are also women who like brave men. , mighty and majestic. "I think the former is a bit pathological. Think about it, women are inherently weak, and if you make someone who is similar to weak, isn't that gay? "Look at the animal world. Females are willing to mate with strong ones, and only strong males have the right to mate. Some people say that animals choose better genes to breed stronger offspring. What genes do animals know? Not really Because only strong males are good enough to do it. "Mimi is not a naive little girl, she only picks those innocent little faces. Mimi pays attention to 'practical'. In this case, the more masculine you look, the more Mimi likes you. Isn't it? " He thought irritably: "She's such a ghost!" He said, "I can't go to the ballroom like this?" "Why not? There are people with shaved heads and suits! You just follow me, and other people will not be surprised." In the evening they came to the ballroom together.She went to the dressing room.He sat alone at a table. Zhang Ying came over in time. Li Jian asked: "Have Sha Zhichao and Wang Afu come back?" Zhang Ying said, "Not yet. Have you all returned?" Li Jian replied: "Lao Jin and I came back in the morning, and the other brothers don't know what happened." Then, "Did the rescued people get out of danger?" "Out of danger." Zhang Ying replied, "Old Zhang said that thanks to you going this time, he completed the task so smoothly." Li Jian thought to himself: How many guerrillas were sacrificed!He didn't want to talk about these things, so he changed the subject, shook his bald head and asked, "Is it weird? Everyone is looking at me like a monster." Zhang Ying said with a smile: "It's very unusual to wear a suit with a bald head. But people pay attention to you because the newspapers report you as a 'heroic hero' every day, not because of your bald head. Do you see another bald head?" Li Jian looked around, only to see two men in suits and leather shoes walking in.The first one was short, but very strong, with a shaved head that was bluish; the second, a tall, slender man, followed closely behind the former, and seemed to be very respectful.The head class of the ballroom greeted them, humbly bowing again and again. Li Jian glanced at it and was disliked, so he asked Zhang Ying, "What do they do?" Zhang Ying said quietly: "The bald head is a Japanese named Kameda, and his public identity is the president of the East Asia Corporation. In fact, he is the head of the Japanese military's secret service stationed in Shanghai. The man who followed him is called Liu Guangyi, and he is a traitor agent - Kameda's. running dog." Li Jian clenched his fists: "Kill them!" Zhang Ying hurriedly warned: "Don't be reckless. Kameda is traveling, and there are a lot of Japanese spies guarding him. I guess before he came, there was a Japanese spy in the ballroom first, protecting him in secret." Li Jian gritted his teeth and said nothing. After a while, a woman in evening dress came in.Her demeanor and appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the dancers.Li Jian also noticed it, suddenly felt his eyes light up, and secretly exclaimed: "What a beautiful woman!" Zhang Ying told Li Jian: "She is Miss Mary - a famous courtesan in Shanghai. It is said that she is Yang Hu's niece and Huang Jinrong's intercourse daughter." Seeing Mary walking towards Guitian's platform, Li Jian couldn't help frowning when both Guitian and Liu Guangyi stood up to welcome them. "Why did you get involved with Japanese invaders and traitors?" Zhang Ying said with a smile: "The social butterfly, as the name suggests, is mainly for socializing and entertaining, and people of all walks of life have to come into contact with." While talking, a waiter came and said to Li Jian: "Mr. Li, Miss Bai invites you to the dressing room to tell me something important." When Li Jian came to the dressing room, Bai Guang was waiting for him anxiously. When she met her, she said: "I'm not feeling well. I'll go up and sing for a round and then come back home. You just sit here and wait for me, okay?" Li Jian was very concerned: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't go on it..." Bai Guang frowned: "I have to deal with it... In short, you just wait here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Li Jian agreed with certainty. Bai Guang went to play, and Li Jian leaned on the sofa and waited.Half an hour later, Bai Guang went back to the dressing room. He didn't care about putting on makeup, so he pulled Li Jian away from Paramount. Along the way, Li Jian repeatedly asked what was wrong and suggested going to the hospital.Bai Guang was anxious when asked, so he said, "Oh, you don't understand women's affairs!" After returning home and sitting down in the living room, Bai Guang finally explained the truth: "Tianfeng, I'm sorry, I'm not sick, I just learned that Kameda has gone, I'm afraid you will become impulsive again, that would be too dangerous." Li Jian suddenly realized.He admitted that if Bai Guang hadn't used this trick, he would never have given up on this assassination of Kameda. "Ah—hmm—is that woman who came to Kameda also a spy?" Bai Guang said: "She is a social butterfly. Do you still remember that I once told you: Wu Tiecheng is just a figure in front of the military command. It was only recently that I found out that this woman named Mary, whose real name is Zhang Qian, is the military commander. The real stationmaster of Shanghai Station, the famous "Flower of Military Command"! She is extremely powerful. She stole a lot of military information and caused the Japanese army to suffer great losses on the battlefield. If Wu Tiecheng hadn't rebelled, she would not have been discovered. " Li Jian doubted: "How can you know the inside story so well?" Bai Guang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "I am also a flower of communication, and I know all kinds of teachings and nine streams, so I am naturally well-informed." Li Jian didn't ask any further questions, but said regretfully, "In this way, she is in a dangerous situation." "No, there is a remedy for being a spy. That is to be a spy on both sides. You can do well on both sides, and you won't suffer." "It's—too—immoral!" "Personality!" Bai Guang laughed loudly: "To be an agent is to engage in conspiracies and tricks. You can do anything to achieve your goals. If you stick to principles, you can't be an agent..." She looked at him and stopped in panic, "We—we don't talk about it." This matter..." He quickly changed the subject again, "Tianfeng, the day after tomorrow is Mrs. Wu's birthday, and there are many, many people going to pay their respects, and there are all kinds of people among them. You must learn to hide your emotions..." He smiled: "I understand what you mean. When I go to someone else's house, at least I can still be polite. Wu Yanan has saved me many times, how can I avenge my kindness and kill him in his house?" "Ah, I'm relieved that way." They have supper. She seemed to ask casually: "Tianfeng, what do you think of your Generalissimo Chiang's proposition that 'to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the interior, and to secure the interior we must first suppress the Communist Party'?" Li Jian ate with his head down. Hearing Bai Guang's question, he couldn't help being puzzled: "Why would she ask such a question?" Looking up at the other party, he said cautiously, "I admire Principal Jiang, and of course I support all his ideas. .” Bai Guang asked again: "So, what do you think of the Communist Party?" Li Jian became more vigilant: "I have no contact with the Communists. I only have five campaigns in Jiangxi and fought against the Red Army. They are very brave in fighting, and they have capable people. They command well, and our national army often suffers losses." Bai Guang said again: "Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated to resist Japan, what do you think of the future?" Li Jian smiled: "Mimi, now you should be very clear about how deep and shallow my knowledge is. Do you think I can answer such profound questions as you?" Bai Guang also smiled: "Let's chat casually. I am also concerned about the future of the War of Resistance. If the KMT and the Communist Party cooperate well, there will be hope of victory in the War of Resistance. If it is only superficial cooperation, and each has their own ulterior motives, it will be unimaginable." Li Jian said: "Our principal has instructed that soldiers should not meddle in politics. I am a soldier. I only know how to kill the enemy when the country is in crisis. I am just a low-level military officer who obeys orders. What do I care about whether the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is true or not? Don't worry about it too." Bai Guang said excitedly: "Tianfeng, if you don't care about the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, how do you decide your actions? How do you distinguish friend from foe?" Li Jian shrugged: "I'm really a frog in a well now, how can I figure out these things." "I'm here to tell you! "The Communist Party's New Fourth Army, Eighth Route Army and the national army often had conflicts. Not long ago, the New Fourth Army defeated Han Deqin in Suluwan and killed Li Shouwei, the commander of Han Deqin's army; Army commander Ye Ting and several thousand people below. The Kuomintang has abolished the establishment of the New Fourth Army. "Can this kind of cooperation last long? The Kuomintang and the Communist Party will eventually turn against each other!" Li Jian was surprised: "How do you know?" "Ah... There are reports in the newspapers. You should listen to Chongqing Radio Station every day. There are such reports almost every day." Li Jian stared at Bai Guang and asked, "Is it of any use to me if you tell me this?" Bai Guang said: "Why is it useless? At least you have grasped the situation so as not to mislead others." Li Jian smiled: "Understood. Are you afraid that I will join the Communist Party? Let me tell you, I joined the Kuomintang when I was in the military academy, and I will never join the Communist Party again—cross-party is not allowed now. Of course I will not Quit the KMT." Bai Guang said very enthusiastically: "I'm afraid that you will listen to their propaganda, follow their nonsense, and be betrayed by them in the end!" "Mimi, I am unconstrained and unconstrained, and I am used to being alone. I am the person who is most opposed to following people to wave the flag and act as cannon fodder. You know this." Bai Guang was taken aback when he heard this: "Ah...Actually, I'm afraid that you will be tempted and lose money by fooling around with them. Otherwise, why would I meddle in so much business!" Li Jian thought to himself: "She may be suspicious of me not coming home at night-suspecting that I did that thing." Then he said, "Maybe I have been fooling around, but I will never go fooling around with others. You don't know about this. You can rest assured." Bai Guang said: "I believe you. As long as you don't mess around with others, I don't worry about how you make trouble alone. "Ah, you probably didn't sleep well last night, let's go to bed early."
