Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty-fifth: Murder every step of the way

The fire in the cave burned all night. After eating, everyone leaned against the fire and fell asleep.Mu Liangfeng fell into a deep sleep. In the early morning, he pushed him a few times before waking up. "Get up, do you still want to live in this water curtain cave for the rest of your life like Sun Monkey?" Mu Liangfeng looked at his brothers, most of them had already sat up and were packing their things.The sun outside faintly drilled in through the gap in the cave entrance, and the sky was already bright. The old Taoist is taking a seat.Seeing Mu Liangfeng wake up, he said, "Company Commander Mu, let's go on the road now!"

Mu Liangfeng nodded and stood up: "Brothers, pack up your things and go." As he spoke, he picked up his gun, packed up his military uniform, and left the cave.The Japanese female soldier was squatting outside the cave to wash her face, and Agui was standing behind her in charge of custody.Perhaps because of her influence, the Chinese soldiers felt that they should also pay attention to their own faces, squatting on the river bed and wiping their faces with water. The morning in the forest was cold, and a thin layer of hoarfrost formed on the ground. Mu Liangfeng led the team to shuttle through the forest, but he was thinking about Fenglingdu at this time, and he was afraid that the snow had already closed the mountain.He thought of his grandfather, and the girl Liu Yan who was so beautiful that he was fascinated by it. He wondered what they were doing in this season of heavy snow.

There is no sign of an end to this damned war, it seems endless and boundless. After driving away the devils, he wants to find his parents and go home with him. He wants to marry Liu Yan and live together as a family.This is all the expectations of Mu Liangfeng, the former mountain village boy and now the second lieutenant commander of the national army, for life.He hated devils, whose aggression made all this seem so far away. The war is still going on, and the situation on the battlefield looks more and more unfavorable, with successive defeats.Sometimes, his heart began to waver with his own army and government. When they fought devils, they often fought against the enemy several times or even ten times. However, the result of the war was often that the national army was defeated in one blow...

Mu Liangfeng couldn't remember the way back to the Taoist temple. They returned to the Taoist temple under the leadership of the old Taoist priest. They saw the gate of the mountain open from a distance, and there were bloodstains in front of the door. Everyone felt a little bit in their hearts, and quickly ran into the temple. The inside was full of devastation , the bloody scene was horrible: several Taoist priests were lying in a pool of blood, their bodies already stiff.All of them were glaring, some were holding kitchen knives, some were holding wooden sticks, apparently they were brutally killed after a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese invaders.One of the more miserable Taoist priests, his body was chopped into several pieces by the devil's bayonet, and his internal organs were scattered all over the ground...

A few lightly wounded people hiding in the cave nearby have come out and are silently packing up the remains of the Taoist priests. Seeing this, the old Taoist priest immediately sat down on the spot and closed his eyes, but tears still flowed down his thin cheeks. Who said that the monks are ruthless?At this moment when the country's life and death are at stake, they showed the great love and hatred of the monks. Mu Liangfeng was stunned, he never expected that the devils would not spare these monks who had nothing to do with the world, and their methods were so cruel.The inner grief and indignation burned like fire in the hearts of every Chinese present.Mu Liangfeng dragged the Japanese female military doctor into the Taoist temple: "You see for yourself! Who is the real devil?"

"Kill this female devil and avenge the dead compatriots!" "Kill her!" "Kill her!" ... The soldiers began to shout, and the Japanese girl screamed, not because she was completely frightened by the Chinese soldiers, but more importantly, she saw a hell on earth before her eyes.Although she was a medical student, it was the first time she had seen such a bloody and tragic scene.She herself couldn't believe that her Japanese compatriots would use such cruel methods to deal with a few unarmed monks. "No!" she screamed, "It's not true! It's not true!" Even though she knew it was true, the truth was too harsh for her to accept.

"That's true! You invaders are the real devil." Mu Liangfeng roared, his hands trembled slightly, and he almost agreed to kill the Japanese female military doctor.But in the end he held back. Her hands were not stained with Chinese blood, so he shouldn't have killed her.He waved his hand, and the shouting of the brothers stopped, and everyone stepped forward to help the wounded gather up the bodies of the priests. Xiao Wu opened the hole under Zhang Tianshi's statue, and took a few brothers down.Under the dim green oil lamp, the seriously wounded were lying in a row on a spread quilt, and the lightly wounded sat quietly on the side, shaking their heads one by one.There was also a medical soldier in charge of caring for the wounded and a surviving little Taoist priest. Everyone's eyes were red and swollen, and they were depressed.

After connecting the wounded to the ground, the little Taoist priest and several wounded began to cry. A wounded man looked at Mu Liangfeng, cried and said, "Company commander, if we didn't see the seriously injured brother, we really wanted to rush up and fight the devils." Mu Liangfeng didn't speak, he looked at his wound, a piece of shrapnel was hitting his thigh impartially. "I'll take you back!" His eyes were wet. "Daozhang, I'm sorry! We are the ones who have hurt everyone." The old Taoist looked at him and shook his head. Mu Liangfeng knew that no amount of comfort was meaningless at this time, so he didn't say anything more.He sat under a tree outside the Taoist temple and watched his brothers carry the bodies of several Taoist priests to the back mountain.The Japanese girl was still in shock, squatting on the ground and shrank into a ball.The sun is hidden in the clouds, and the forest is gray in the morning.

Mu Liangfeng is now thinking of two questions: First, where are these vicious devils now?Second, the lives of the brothers are in his own hands, and he must bring everyone back alive. They should be on their way. Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.Let's talk about the situation of the three devil squadrons that owed blood debts at the Taoist temple yesterday. The leader of the devil squadron that ambushed Chen Dugu and his group yesterday is called Jing Yinan. It is not difficult to see that this guy is a difficult opponent: this mountain warfare expert who was just transferred from the Kwantung Army entered China in 1931. In this short period of time, Because of his outstanding military exploits, he jumped from an ordinary soldier to a squadron leader of an elite army unit, and was awarded the Gold Kui Medal by the Japanese Ministry of War three times.Before leaving for Nanning this time, the position of a regiment captain was waiting for his arrival.

In the eyes of his boss, this Jing Yinan is already a future star. But in yesterday's battle, a company of Chinese troops actually drove him into a desperate situation. If the other two squadrons hadn't rushed to help in time, we don't know what the ending would be.This battle was almost a one-on-one force, but he was beaten so embarrassingly, which made Jing Yinan deeply ashamed. It was the first time he encountered such an opponent after fighting in China for many years.In a fit of rage, he vowed to destroy this group of Chinese. He and two other squadrons followed the Chinese army in the forest for a long time. When they chased to a river, the Chinese army suddenly disappeared from his eyes. .

An exasperated Jing Yinan then set his sights on the Taoist temple in the deep mountains. He was almost sure that this group of Chinese Taoist priests knew the whereabouts of the army, but they did not say a word under the bayonet questioning.He remembered a Chinese idiom: Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.He ordered to kill the first Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, instead of being frightened, the Taoist priest took a kitchen knife and hacked to death his two soldiers in one go.The irritated subordinates killed all the Taoist priests in one go, and the clues of the Chinese army were interrupted.Facing the vast primeval forest, he had a strong premonition: this group of Chinese troops must still be nearby, and they will come back.He decided to search around here, and he must completely wipe out this group of Chinese soldiers, and take the shame of yesterday's defeat. A friendly squadron was willing to stay and assist him in encircling and suppressing the Chinese army, but another squadron received the order and hurried to Nanning. Jing Yinan and another squadron turned around in the middle of the night in the forest, only to realize that they had lost their way and accidentally touched a village outside the mountain.This village Jing Yinan stationed his troops in this mountain village, and then he sent five reconnaissance teams with communication equipment to let them sneak into the forest again and continue to find the whereabouts of this Chinese army.
