Chapter 4 third chapter

As usual, after the first crop of coal was produced, the supervisor Liu Baye went to sleep in the wind shelter, and the mine policeman Sun Si watched the coal building with red eyes and yawned. As usual, this is the most slack time of the day, and this is another opportunity for brothers to exercise their muscles. Battalion Commander Meng Xinze brought the brothers from Den 2420 to his side and said: "You know, right? There is an old cave above our nest. Lao Qi touched it and said it was windy, so it might be possible to get through..." Before Meng Xinze finished speaking, Tian Desheng, who was squatting opposite Meng Xinze, yelled in a low voice:

"Old Meng, are you really fucking going to escape?!" Meng Xinze stared at Tian Desheng: "Why don't you escape if you can? Don't you want to escape? Do you want to be an animal here for the rest of your life?" Tian Desheng's winter melon tilted his head, and bared his yellow teeth: "Wild man, don't talk so loudly, kid, you escape? Can you escape? As long as I don't escape, none of you fucking want to escape! Maybe I will learn from that pockmark and report to the Japanese. !" "you dare?" In the dark, a brother roared. Tian Desheng threw the tattered gown on his body backwards, clenched his fists like lanterns, stretched and bent his arms, and played the frightening trick again.

"Don't dare? Damn! Everything in this world is for sale, and I haven't heard of anyone who dares to sell! Grandpa will inevitably die sooner or later. Even if Grandpa sues you, it's no big deal if he dies in your hands." of!" Meng Xinze couldn't help shouting: "Surnamed Tian, ​​do you still look like a fucking Chinese? Are you our brother?!" "Hey, my surname is Tian is still your brother, do you fucking know this?" Tian Desheng's eyes were wide open, and the lights in front of him were burning and jumping in his red eyes: "Since when did you regard me as your brother? You keep everything from me alone, you don't hide from Zhang Mazi, you just hide from grandpa! You can't see people with low eyes!"

Meng Xinze suddenly understood the reason for Tian Desheng's anger, and said with a smile: "What did we hide from you! Didn't we tell you all this?!" Tian Desheng was still dissatisfied, rolled his eyelids: "What did you tell me! Isn't it just a broken hole inside and out! You need to talk about it! I heard Lao Qi when he said it in the chant!" "We want to find out this hole and escape, understand?" "Does it count as me?" "Of course!" Tian Desheng asked again: "I heard that there are guerrillas responding, is it true?"

Meng Xinze nodded: "There is such a thing!" "When are they coming?" "I don't know, I haven't contacted you yet!" Tian Desheng was not discouraged. He stretched out the head of the wax gourd in front of Meng Xinze, and his big fist beat his thick chest "puffy". His two longan eyes were very energetic: "No matter what you say, I'll do it! Damn Japan, you can't escape death inside or outside. Instead of waiting to die in the hands of the Japanese, it's better to run away and see!" He actually called the battalion commander respectfully:

"Meng Battalion Commander, don't trust me, motherfucker, Tian Desheng is bad, but I have two advantages: I am not afraid of death, and I don't tell the truth! Unlike that bastard Zhang Mazi, who looks gentle and gentle. , but his fucking stomach is full of bad water!" Meng Xinze was moved, grabbed Tian Desheng's hand and said: "Old Tian, ​​well said! Brothers can trust you!" "Then, Lao Meng, what do you think we should do!" Meng Xinze let go of Tian Desheng's hand, looked away from Tian Desheng's face, and said to the brothers: "Today, we have to figure out the situation in that old cave."

Tian Desheng volunteered: "Okay! Lao Meng, let me touch it!" Meng Xinze thought for a while, and agreed: "Be careful, don't delay too long. According to Lao Qi, the entrance of the old cave is 300 meters above our nest. There is a red brick wall at the entrance, and there is a gap under the wall. Danger signs with human skulls." "understood!" Tian Desheng put on his coat and was about to go out. Meng Xinze stopped him: "Wait a minute, you can't go out like this!" Looking at the top of the coal, Meng Xinze confessed: "Liu Ziping, Xiang Fuguang, get ready, use dynamite to blow up the coal roof, and the rest of the brothers will come out with me and go to the coal building to avoid the gunfire!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of avoiding the guns, Tian Desheng slipped away, followed the 2420 nest, and climbed to the upper alley. There was no wellhead in the direction of the upper alley, and the Japanese in Yanwangtang were undefended.The Japanese didn't know the old hole that made the prisoners wonder. The cannon blared twice, and the stale air in the alley suddenly expanded, and a wave of milky white air mixed with coal powder and rock powder rushed out of the nest.The blower started, and the black calf-like machine head hanging beside the coal building screamed strangely with an unpleasant iron voice.The black rubber-skinned windbag swelled and swelled all the way, sending the wind from the alleyway into the 2420 coal pit.

Under the urging of the mine policeman Sun Si, the brothers entered the nest before the smoke from the guns cleared.A few brothers on duty stood on the blasted coal and poked the top of the fried coal with a long steel chisel, causing pieces of unsettled coal to fall down. Blasting is not frequent, and the Japanese have extremely strict control over explosives. Explosives are never allowed to be used on coal roofs that can be poked down with steel drills.The spent explosives paper and numbered seals have to be accounted to the mine policeman Sun Si, and they must be searched before going to the mine.It is delusional to want to make a fuss about dynamite.

Meng Xinze was always thinking about getting some explosives.Dynamite always can't help leading him into a sacred and solemn realm.Hearing the explosion of coal cannons, he remembered the sound of cannons on the battlefield. There were roaring cannons in front of his eyes, and the military song that he and many brothers sang together would faintly appear in his mind. It rang in my ears. When the coal roof was being poked in the nest, he and a group of brothers pulling coal haulers leaned on the coal side to watch. In the dimness, he imagined the dancing calcium carbide lamps in the nest as lanterns for the stuffy tank army. lights.He always thought that he was not squatting in the narrow and dark alley, but squatting on the narrow, dark and rumbling military column.

The military songs in my ears became louder and louder.As if approaching from far away, there was a rumbling and howling thunder... In the spring of the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, he sang this military song and marched from Xiaogan and Wuchang to the front line of the Taierzhuang battle.As far as Meng Xinze knew, the Supreme Command had originally incorporated their army into the Wuhan garrison series, and planned to let them train in Wuchang and Xiaogan for a period of time and participate in the battle to defend Greater Wuhan.Unexpectedly, in mid-April of the 27th year of the Republic of China, after the First World War in Taierzhuang, the Japanese army increased its troops in southern Lunan in an attempt to capture Xuzhou, an important strategic town, and the five theaters stationed in Xuzhou were tight.Li Zongren, the commander of the fifth war zone, sent a telegram to the Supreme Command and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, asking them to send reinforcements quickly.The Supreme Command dispatched them to the Minquan and Lanfeng areas on the Longhai line to gather and stand by, and temporarily returned to Chengqian's command of the first war zone. In case of emergency, they moved closer to Xuzhou to reinforce the fifth war zone.A team of more than 40,000 people.On April 19th, the army marched towards Minquan and Lanfeng, and the resounding military songs rang out from station to station... After the military column arrived at Minquan, some officers and soldiers from the Fifth War Zone suddenly crowded on the platform.Meng Xinze clearly remembered that a fair and clean young officer ran up to him and saluted him with a beautiful military salute: "From the 60th Army?" He nodded. The young officer clearly conveyed the order of the Supreme Command to him: "According to Chairman Jiang's telegram, your department will drive directly to Xuzhou and report to the Fifth War Zone. You will not be allowed to get off the car on the way. Those who violate the order will follow the military law!" He looked down on the young officer in front of him, squinted at his fair face, and said coldly: "The orders of the Supreme Command are given to the military department. I need to know the orders of our regiment commander and army commander!" The young officer immediately presented the commander's order. He took it over and saw that it read: "Received an urgent telegram from Chairman Jiang, all the units of our army will drive straight to Xuzhou, and they are not allowed to get off the bus on the way. This order!" Below, is his familiar signature. Xuzhou, an ancient city, is closely linked with his fate and the fate of their army. The scene on the platform of Henan Minquan Station was a turning point in his life.He didn't realize it at the time.He didn't even expect that he would end his combat career as a Chinese soldier in the ancient northern city called Xuzhou in front of the military ranks. He asked the young officer: "Isn't Taierzhuang a great victory? Will Chief Li really be overwhelmed?" The young officer sighed and whispered in his ear: "The situation is not good! Dude! After the First Battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army concentrated eight or nine divisions in southern Lunan. The Fifth Division of Itagaki, the Tenth Division of Isoya, and the Fourteenth Division of Doihara all came. In addition, there are also puppet troops from Liu Guitang, Zhang Zongyuan and other departments. The total number of troops invested is estimated to be more than 200,000. Taierzhuang is in a tight situation again. Brother, it seems that there will be a big battle. Chairman Jiang has made up his mind this time. .” His blood rushed to his forehead, and he blurted out: "Damn it, it's time for a good fight! Boy, look how we bombard 'em!" Standing on the slowly starting train, he was still waving to the young officer. The military vehicle stopped at Chefushan Station, it was late at night on April 22.At dawn, the troops were ordered to cross the canal. At that time, gunshots were fired from the southeast.Immediately, their regiment unexpectedly encountered the attacking enemy in a small village called Chenwafang.Due to lack of preparation, the battle was not fought well, and the brothers suffered many casualties.Later, he learned that at that time, all the units of Tang Enbo's army had retreated to the southeast of Daliangbi under the Japanese offensive, and Chen Yanghao's troops on the left wing had retreated to Chahe Town, forming a big gap in the entire frontal defense line.In order to plug this gap, after Chen Wafang, the adjacent Xingjialou and Wushengtang started another fierce battle. At the beginning of the fierce battle, he and his brothers were in high spirits, and they all made up their minds to serve the country with death as a Chinese soldier.Because they know that the war they are waging is a great struggle concerning the fate of the country and the fate of the nation. He once saw the suicide note of a sacrificed company commander in Chen Wafang, and the words in the suicide note made him dare not forget each other for a long time. The suicide note, addressed to the new wife, reads: "Japanese pirates have penetrated into our Chinese territory. The nation is at stake. As a soldier, it is our duty to serve the country. If you encounter misfortune, I hope you will not be sad. If we have children, regardless of gender, we will name them resistance; as long as our Chinese nation is united, we will resist with one heart , China will not perish, and China will last forever! Even if it takes fifty or one hundred years, the final victory will be ours!" Thus began the test of blood and fire. From the start of the encounter on April 22 to the fall of Xuzhou on May 19, more than half of their regiment died in several fierce battles, and the god of death rushed to his side twice.Once in Yuwang Mountain, a bomb fell on the forward artillery position. A company commander who commanded the battle at the forward command post died heroically beside him.Once in the captured black locust forest, the Japanese machine guns formed an impenetrable firepower net, and the howling bullets flew like raindrops. Many brothers around him fell down, and his military cap and trouser legs were pierced by bullets. Two holes, but no bullets! May 19th in the 27th year was a day of disaster for the 500,000 Chinese soldiers who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, but for him personally, it was a day of luck. In fact, he should not have stayed in Xuzhou on May 19, nor should their army have stayed in Xuzhou.After the 27-day battle at Taierzhuang and Yuwang Mountain, their army suffered heavy casualties. Of the more than 40,000 people drawn from Yunnan, only 20,000 were left, and the troops had to rest.The Chief of the Fifth War Zone ordered the defense. On May 14, the whole army withdrew from the defense line, and Guizhou newly organized the first and fourth.The division takes over.Unexpectedly, on May 18, the Chief of the Fifth War Zone suddenly ordered them to go to Xuzhou to participate in the battle of defending the city and cover the retreat of the Lunan Corps.In this way, they fell into the siege of the Japanese army. They entered Xuzhou at dawn on May 19th. On this day, the war machine was running at high speed on the ancient land of Xuzhou, and the lives of thousands of people were turned into dust under the rolling of this machine.The air was bombed by Japanese planes in turn, and the ground was surrounded by artillery, machine guns, and tanks. All the troops gathered in Xuzhou fell into chaos.The shadow of May 19 had been vaguely felt since they stepped into downtown Xuzhou. This is an out-and-out war trap.The chief of the fifth war zone has retreated, Xuzhou is in a state of abandonment, more than 200,000 troops from southern Shandong are crowded on the road from downtown Xuzhou to Su County, and the wheat fields are surging southward, like flooding yellow water.Abandoned cannons, smashed guns, scorched quilts, and stinking dead bodies fell everywhere on the roadside in the urban area. The entire ancient city of Xuzhou was trembling with the sound of vigorous explosions. In order to make a final confession to the Supreme Command, Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth War Zone, ordered them to carry out guerrilla warfare when Xuzhou fell, and gave them 220,000 yuan in French currency that the Xuzhou Central Bank failed to remove as military pay.The Minister's Department claimed that Xuzhou's defense line was impenetrable, and Xuzhou's Jiulishan defense military was indestructible.Unexpectedly, the results of the on-site visits were disappointing, and the military decided to abandon Xuzhou to reduce unnecessary sacrifices.Their army commander found Sun Lianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army who had not withdrawn in time, in a village near Xuzhou.At this time, Sun Lianzhong and his entourage had changed into plain clothes and were preparing to evacuate.Sun Lianzhong said: "Let's withdraw! The situation has become so bad that Xuzhou can't hold it anyway!" They obeyed the order and broke through. Later, he heard about Sun Lianzhong's situation from his brothers who were captured after the Battle of Wuhan.The commander-in-chief of the group army, who had commanded thousands of troops and won the great victory at Taierzhuang, disguised himself as a businessman on the afternoon of the fall of Xuzhou, and hired civilian ships from the Eastern Front to Huaiyin, Jiangsu.Afterwards, Han Deqin, Chairman of Jiangsu Province, tried to escort him to Shanghai, passed through Hong Kong, and then returned to Wuhan to report to the Supreme Command. War is a magical magician, and any prominent marshal or general is just a prop in its hands.War creates both miracles and illusions. It is the greatest giver and the cruelest depriver. Facing the black coal wall, he once thought with emotion. And his fate was far less than that of the commander-in-chief of the army group.He has become a captive, a waste of war, an outcast of war whose claim to life has been confiscated by the victors. May 19th was a cloud, a cloud of black smoke, a flock of crows perched on a grave... However, it was on May 19th, the day of the disaster, that he had an unforgettable understanding of war, and his life and his comprehension suddenly reached a new height.This height was something he had never crossed in his eighteen years of military service.In the autumn when he was seventeen, on a drizzle morning, he stepped into the threshold of the Yunnan Lecture Hall wearing homemade clothes and became a soldier.In the ten years that followed, he fought many battles and was even wounded twice, but he never realized the true atmosphere of war. He learned about war in downtown Xuzhou on May 19. This is how war can be fought! Soldiers engaged in war can become so helpless! Perhaps this depressing psychology has affected him fundamentally, and finally prompted him to raise his hand with the gun in that locust forest.Who knows! With mixed thoughts, he fell asleep in a daze, and in that hasty, short dream, he recalled the past disaster again. His memory forever stopped on the ordinary day of May 19th. The nineteenth of May was eternal to him. How could Tian Desheng forget May 19th?That day, he either fell into a coma or was possessed by a demon. He ran in a daze for almost a day, and entered Xuzhou on the night of the 19th.Their Commander Tang Enbo was not in Xuzhou at that time. Seeing that the battle was going badly, Commander Tang lost his head, and even the division commander didn't know where he was. He ran to Xuzhou.He slipped away while being bombed by a Japanese plane. He was afraid that if he didn't slip away, he would be shot dead by that monkey-faced company commander Liu sooner or later.After the Japanese air raid, he hid in the waist-deep wheat field. He lay down in the wheat field for a whole morning, and waited until the locust-like team was over before getting up and rubbing some wheat ears to eat. After eating, he fell into a daze road. He didn't look at many people along the way, but he saw the teams rushing towards the main road he had walked in bursts like water that had burst through his mouth. As soon as he encountered a team, he would hide by the river ditch or in the wheat field. They meet each other.Based on his three successful escapes and one unsuccessful escape experience, he decided that there would be no big mistake if he went in the opposite direction with the main force.In his opinion, both the Japanese army and the national army are threatening his life, and the threat from the national army seems to be greater. If he is caught this time, Company Commander Monkey Face Liu will definitely not spare him!Two months ago, he had already escaped once and was caught.He made up his mind to get a set of casual clothes, disguised as ordinary people, and went back to his hometown in Henan. The gun on his shoulder was not thrown away, he had to rely on it for money. By the side of a small river in Wangzhuang, a suburb of Xuzhou, he shot across the river, scaring an old man who was squatting by the river to relieve himself. The old man almost fell into the river. "Old man, take off your coat!" The old man got up from the river and took off neatly. "Pants!" Under the dim starlight, I found that the old man was only wearing a pair of big underpants. The old man bowed straight to him: "Take off my pants, how can I go home and meet people, boss...boss, please do me a favor and spare me!" I don’t want the underpants anymore, I threw the military coat to the old man, and put on the old man’s coat by myself: "Hey, old man, if you want a gun, you can sell it for three yuan!" The old man arched his hands: "Boss, you gave it to me for nothing, and I dare not take it!" He was fired, and the bolt was pulled: "Damn it, if I want to sell it, you have to buy it! Three oceans, don't ask for more, go home and get the money! I'll be waiting here!" The old man said with great reluctance: "I... I'll go home and discuss it." "Go and come!" "well!" As soon as the old man left, he immediately felt something was wrong!This old bastard is not allowed to go back to the village to call someone. He is alone, and he will suffer if he makes trouble! Not daring to wait any longer, he voluntarily gave up an arms deal, clipped his gun, and continued on his way. This happened after nine o'clock in the evening on May 19th. After eleven o'clock, he entered Xuzhou City from Xiguan Duanzhuang. Most of the national army in Xuzhou City had withdrawn. He was standing on Xiguan Street, still thinking about finding a place to make some money. At this moment, an official of the 60th Army and some brothers stopped him: "Which part?" "I... I... my brother! My brother!" "Separated from the team?" "Hey! Hey!" "Which part is it!" He pretended to be stupid, rolled his eyes, and said very hard: "Our company commander's surname is Wang, and he has pockmarks on his face!" "Idiot! Don't you know any part?" He closed his eyes, and said casually: "The 35th Division of the Second Army!" He didn't know whether the Second Army had a thirty-fifth division, and he expected that the Yunnan soldiers would not know either. Sure enough, those Yunnan soldiers were bluffed by him. "Let's go, come with us, Xuzhou can't hold it anymore, all the troops have turned in!" He had no choice but to follow the group of Yunnan people until he reached the door of a restaurant whose façade had been destroyed by bombing. Suddenly, there was the sound of roaring plane motors in the dark air.As soon as he lay down on the ground, bombs exploded beside him. His eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, it was already noon on the 20th. He heard a sharp gunshot, as if it had been shot at his forehead, and he instinctively grabbed the gun. But his hand was pressed by a heavy object. He lay on the ground, raised his head, and saw a pair of black leather boots stained with yellow mud.It was the black leather boots stained with yellow mud that were pressing down on his hand holding the gun!He looked up along the leather boots, and saw the scabbard of a command knife hanging in the air again. The scabbard was swinging leisurely, and the top of the scabbard was covered with brass leather. It's a Japanese official! He cried out: "Too...Taijun...my...my...my people! Good people! Good people! Great!" The Japanese official kicked him upside down, raised the knife in his hand, and a ray of May sunshine danced on the wet blade.He shrank into a ball and called again: "I surrender! I...my surrender!" The ray of May sunshine that condensed on the blade finally didn't jump on him, the Japanese officer turned his wrist, commanding the saber to draw a beautiful arc in mid-air. From nowhere came two Japanese soldiers with long guns. The Japanese officer inserted the command knife into the scabbard and said a few devilish words to the two Japanese soldiers. The two Japanese soldiers forced him to stand up with the bayonets on their spears. He stood up staggeringly, and was escorted to a nearby elementary school that afternoon, and later, to a prisoner-of-war camp in the suburbs. Finally, he entered the Yanwangtang of the Xiyan Coal Mine in Japan, where he became a digger for the Japanese. Coal livestock. Since then, a prisoner of war mark has been worn on his chest: "Xizi No. 0514" This was the most tragic of the five escapes in his life, even more tragic than the fourth escape which was not successful at all!Although the fourth escape was unsuccessful, even though he suffered a meal with army sticks, he still managed to keep his body free. This time, everything was over, and he fell into the hands of the Japanese. People take it alive!This is really the greatest misfortune among misfortunes.Didn't he quit the war more than ten hours ago?Hasn't he already replaced his general gown with a coarse cloth gown?Why do you want to grab the gun again?If he hadn't caught the steel gun worth three oceans, the Japanese might not have made him a prisoner of war "No. 0514". This is fucking life! Now that I think about it, the last time Ding should not have been sold anyway. For 80 yuan, under the name of Tian Desheng, it was too uneconomical to die in the hands of the Japanese!This deal was unfair from the beginning, and now it is completely screwed up! A life sold for eighty yuan, what a fucking joke! Gotta break the bank!You have to get Ben back no matter what!This life worth 80 yuan must be stolen from the Japanese!Otherwise, you will lose your blood!Ever since he entered Hades Hall, he has been secretly plotting on and off the well, ready to leave anytime and anywhere.However, the harsh reality frustrated him. High walls, power grids, bayonets, and wolf dogs shattered his fantasies one by one, and he could hardly see the opportunity to steal.The experience of running away in the past is completely useless. He is like a foolish novice who is a thief for the first time. He doesn't know how to insert his trembling hands into someone's pocket. Suddenly, an opportunity presented itself, and the mouse Lao Qi found an old hole!Meng Xinze actually entrusted him with the task of exploring this old cave again!As soon as he climbed up the upper alley, a hot thought popped into his head in time: If you don't leave now, when will you stay? ! He can't control those brothers anymore, he can only control himself, and can only ensure that he will not lose money in this human flesh transaction!If he escapes alone, without anyone noticing, he will be more likely to succeed; but if he escapes with Meng Xinze and the others, there will be a big commotion, and if he fails, he will be completely defeated, and even his life will be lost!He is no fool to be fooled by this! He wanted to be humane and reasonable, frank and generous, without the slightest guilt in his heart.In his opinion, there is no such thing as guilt in this bastard world in front of him!If you have strength and ability, you will crush him; if you have no strength and ability, he will crush you!No one is ashamed of anyone!He deserved to be beaten with a baton in the barracks!Pour the urinal to the monkey face company commander, and he deserves it!Whoever he beat up in Yan Wang Tang would admit that he was unlucky, but now that he lied to Meng Xinze and the bastards, they could only admit that it was unlucky! In this world, in these days, who can take care of whom? ! Stepping on the muddy weathered shale road, panting and climbing towards the top of the roadway, a floating sun has risen in front of my eyes.He seemed to see the sun hanging in the sky with white clouds floating, burning hotly, and a steaming mist surrounded the mature sorghum ground at the head of the village. I thought of the sorghum field in my hometown. He thought of his sister-in-law who slept with him in the sorghum field. Sister-in-law drawing money.His sister-in-law's tenderness coaxed away more than half of the money he earned from selling ding several times. The tenderness I bought is also fucking delicious!Sleeping on the floor of the Underworld Hall, he thought of his sister-in-law more than a hundred times, as long as he put his big hand on that thing, his sister-in-law's black and red smiling face would come out of the sorghum field. Rita Niang, as long as he can escape successfully, and escape to his home, the first target: Gaoliang land! ——Of course, I have to pull my sister-in-law! I stepped into a dirty water hole, my body suddenly lost weight, and I fell solidly. The wicker hat on my head rolled down the ramp and stopped in front of a moldy shed leg behind me. Stopped, the calcium carbide lamp fell to the ground, the light jumped and went out. Fortunately, no injury. He got up from the muddy ground, first took out the match wrapped in oil paper from the clip on the lamp wall, lit the lamp, and then was forced to turn around and walk down a few steps to pick up the muddy water He put his broken wicker hat on his head and continued to climb. The top is deadheaded, not ventilated, and the whole alleyway is lukewarm. Climbing all the way up, he saw two sealed walls with the skull logo hanging on them. The walls were all made of masonry and there were no holes under the walls.He remembered what Meng Xinze said: the old hole he was looking for had a hole under the sealed wall. He kept finding the end, but he couldn't find the old cave, so he had to go back.As he walked back, he became less confident, and he was forced to put many extravagant thoughts out of his mind and focus on finding his way to freedom. He reckoned it had been twenty minutes since he figured it out. After walking down for less than 30 meters, he found the fascinating cave on the other side of the alleyway.There was indeed a half-person-high gap under the sealing wall of the cave, and there was a rushing water flowing into the roadway at the gap. He thought that the sealing wall might be broken by the old water in the cave. His heart was beating wildly, and he barely had time to make a more careful judgment, so he poked his head into the gap in the sealed wall, held the lamp in his hand, and pointed it at the old cave. The light illuminated five paces away, and he saw a zigzag ditch covered with brown-yellow sediment, he saw piles of cascading coal and waste rock, and he saw the water dripping on the roof in the ditch. Splashes of water.The old hole was narrow and low, like a crooked chimney that had not been cleaned for many years. He got in like a dog. He held the calcium carbide lamp in his mouth, and crawled in the hole with calloused palms and gangue-hardened knees.He climbed extremely carefully, and every time he took a step forward, he always looked up and down first, for fear that the falling roof and collapsing coal gangs would crush him to the ground.His garlic nose kept sniffing, carefully guarding against the silent murderer—dirty air. Now, he is not in a hurry.He thought he had at least half of his life in his hands, and his theft was 80% sure of success.He can't lose in the hands of the Japanese, and he can't lose in the hands of this unfathomable old hole. He wants to crush them all, and he can't be crushed by them! Hope is ahead, above, behind the darkness!The more he climbed in, the more confident he was.This old cave that goes uphill all the way is undoubtedly leading to the ground.It's up!Not downwards, which is critical! Drenched from head to toe, sweat, drench, running water from under him, turned him into a watery amphibian.The lights that kept hitting Mercury were crackling and exploding, and his wet eyebrows were scorched by the exploding lights. After climbing for thirty or forty meters, the cave is still winding forward and upward.He dared not climb anymore.He thought of the wind, and he felt that there seemed to be no wind in this old cave. No wind must be dirty! Dirty air can suffocate people to death! He sat down on the coal side, panting heavily, sweat dripping down his face and forehead like rain. Just sat there for a while. He didn't feel dizzy, and he didn't see the lights flickering in front of him. He judged that at least up to this area, the filth in the cave was not serious. Climb forward again.After climbing about twenty or thirty steps, he was stunned!He climbed to the head.Climbed onto a flat lot.A water tank connected to the roof of the cave cut off his way of survival.The water under him overflowed from the overflowing tank. The bastard Lao Qi lied to him, the bastard Meng Xinze lied to him, the god of fate lied to him, and he suddenly fell from the heaven of illusion to the hell of reality.His sorghum fields, his petty dreams of spring, and his freedom are all fucking stuffed up in this tank of churning black water. The life worth 80 yuan still does not belong to him, but still belongs to the Imperial Japanese Army, and he is still a prisoner of "Xizi No. 0514". It was an unsuccessful theft. He began to howl like a wolf, so bold, so bold, so unrestrained that he almost lost his voice. He wants to vent to his heart's content, he wants to throw all his resentment, dissatisfaction, and despair into this old hole, and then look for new opportunities to steal. After crying for a while, he rolled and crawled down to touch, and he clearly remembered the identity of the "No. 0514" prisoner of war. He didn't dare to slack off. Go back to 2420 coal nest. When he slid to the side of the coal building covered in dirt, he saw Liu Ziping and several brothers dragging heavy coal baskets out of the nest, and the mine policeman Sun Si was muttering something.He turned off the lights, flashed in the dark and gestured to Liu Ziping and the brothers. The brothers dumped the coal in the drag basket into the coal building and gathered around Sun Si to beg for basket cards. He took this opportunity Quickly slipped into the nest. As soon as he entered the nest, Sun Si also came in. Sun Si stammered and shouted: "Brother...brothers, you have to... hurry up! It's eight...eight o'clock, and the quota is not...not half done. The Japanese, I...I can't pay the job! You suffer Punishment, but don't...don't blame me, Sun!" Meng Xinze said: "Fourth brother, don't worry! Brothers will not make things difficult for you!" Sun Si grunted and left. Then the brothers surrounded him all at once: "How about it?" "Can you get through!" "How long is that old hole?" He threw the broken wicker hat on his head to the ground, and said viciously like a quarrel: "Fuck the fuck! That hole is dead!" The noisy coal pit fell into a deathly silence. Many vicious eyes were staring at him, and the lights that gathered on his face made him unable to open his eyes. He suddenly felt timid, and sighed again: "Old Qi didn't make it to the end last time. I fucking climbed to the end this time for the sake of my brothers. It's a dead hole! There is a water tank in front of it. Maybe the old pond water was stored by the Japanese when they opened the alley." "You can't go wrong!" Meng Xinze asked. He became inexplicably irritable again: "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake, so fuck yourself and touch it again!" Totally desperate.Meng Xinze's livid face twitched violently, and the crooked corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears.Liu Ziping's face became pale, and his eyes stared at the lamp in his hand in a daze, as if he had just been hit by a sap. I don't know who is whimpering and crying in the dark... I watched a movie a while ago, a Japanese one, an internal movie, I can’t remember the name of it.When the movie talked about Xuzhou, the Japanese soldiers marching into Xuzhou with horizontal guns were singing: "Xuzhou, Xuzhou is a good place." I felt so sad watching it!Back then, Xuzhou was not a good place for the hundreds of thousands of brothers who participated in the battle, and for us prisoners of war! Where did I say it?Oh, speaking of the hole, the hole was blocked, so I sent someone to touch it again, but it still didn't work, so the brothers had to find another way.About three or four days later, another news came, saying that they had contacted the guerrillas in the mountains outside, and that Inoue and Iota rioted together.The brothers in the well rushed to the ground through the mouth of the wind well, and the guerrillas responded from above; the brothers in the well rushed out after the guerrillas blew up the high wall. Brothers No. 1000 from the two prisoner-of-war camps joined together again in an emergency, just waiting for the unknown commander to determine the time of the riot.
