Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

Wang Gang said: "It's unmistakable, it's not old skin. In Northeast China, we call a snake that turns into a spirit not old fairy, and the skin that snake sheds is called not old skin. Because the snake sheds its skin every year, it grows bigger and bigger. It is an animal that lives forever and has no natural enemies. , is also born to be the nemesis of the yellow skin, and is spiritual, especially vengeful. If anyone hurts it, even if it waits by your door for a year or so, it will bite you. If you peel off the skin of a snake, it will attract A group of snakes came to seek revenge. Therefore, experienced hunters would rather go empty-handed, and no one is willing to fight against snakes. The most powerful of the three skins in the Northeast is this long snake skin. But no one has seen such a long and thick skin. Snake skin, or is this dragon related to snakes, and the skin shed is similar?"

I thought for a while: "The old people also say that a snake will become a dragon when it lives for a long time. Maybe this snake is a very long and big snake." As long as it can't change the habit of the snake, we two brothers dare to fight it." Wang Gang said: "Yes, we also learned how to hunt snakes in the early years, but we never fought against this old man because of taboo. It seems that we are going to fight to the death today." Thinking about it this way, this dragon is a monster that has become a spirit, how can we fight it?" Wang Qiang glanced sideways at Li Ergou: "If you can't fight, you will die anyway. After all, if you want to hunt snakes first, you must have a live bait. Anyway, if you think we can't fight dragons, we are not afraid of death. Then use this live bait." ..."

Li Ergou looked at Wang Qiang's eyes, shivered in fright, and hurriedly pointed at the Japanese Heiji who was giggling silly: "Then use him." Wang Qiang smiled, didn't answer, turned to me and said: " Brother Quan, give us the bayonet, and Li Youzi, bring your bayonet too." At this time, no one dared to joke anymore. We obediently took the bayonets off the guns and handed them to the Wang family brothers. Wang Qiang put several bayonets in his waist, bit another one in his mouth, and checked the terrain everywhere.Wang Gang ordered us to lift those stone men together with him. We endured the disgust and scattered the slimy stone men in the cave according to Wang Gang's request. Wang Qiang clapped his hands: "Now let's talk about the live bait." matter……"

As soon as the words fell, the mountain shook suddenly, and the standing stone men fell to the ground one after another. We couldn't stand firmly, and we all fell down.Just as we stood up, there was another bang, which made us lie down again immediately. Wang Gang said to us in a low voice: "Above, it seems that there is something trying to come down through the hole, but it can't get through, and it is hitting the hole desperately. " As if to verify his words, there was another bang from the entrance of the cave above, and countless sand and stones fell down from the earth shaking and shaking the mountain. We hurriedly rolled to the side of the cave wall. If you don’t come, you’re still going hard, and you’re not afraid of breaking the hole.” I was about to remind him that there were women in the line, but Li Cunzhuang suddenly closed his mouth and stared at the front without moving.

I followed his line of sight, and immediately swallowed what I wanted to say: a huge, thick and long black figure was slowly protruding down from the air along the broken cave, and the pungent smell immediately spread throughout the cave. .After a while, the black shadow stopped for a while, and seemed to squeeze out hard, and then saw a huge piece of black shadow bulging out from the cave in the sky. No wonder it used to swim up and down but didn't come in. It was blocked from the cave by the bulge in its stomach, so it kept bumping all the way, bumping the small road thick, and slowly came to the cave. here.The cave is the last barrier, but the barrier no longer exists, and the speed of the dark shadow is getting faster and faster. Finally, under the light of the lighter, we see a huge flat snake head with a bulge in the middle of the snake head. The tumor that came out was still a natural unicorn. After the body fell to the ground, it coiled up in circles, looking at us coldly.Suddenly Wang Qiang yelled: "Don't move, don't move, snakes, like frogs, can only see moving things. No, Lao Li, quickly, quickly throw the lighter, get out of there! Get out of there!"

Before the words fell, the giant snake swam quickly and rushed towards Li Cunzhuang, who was shaking the tongue of fire in his hand... The lighter went out, and Li Cunzhuang let out a muffled snort in the darkness, and then the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.There was a lantern shining coldly in the darkness. I knew it was the eyes of a snake, and it looked like it was one-eyed, but what I was concerned about now was not this, but Li Cunzhuang's safety, but I didn't dare to ask aloud. Get hairy.Not far away, Wang Qiang whispered, "Li Youzi, Li Youzi, are you okay? Snakes don't hear very well when you speak in a low voice."

After a while, Li Cunzhuang's low voice sounded next to me, which startled me: "It's not dead, but I threw the lighter out while jumping to distract this guy." Wang Qiang said, "Then don't move, snake!" It can't see stationary things, but it can feel people's footsteps to find people." I hastily dismissed the idea of ​​helping Li Cunzhuang, and stood still.The giant snake didn't seem to be looking for us either.We seemed to hear the sound of something wriggling, followed by the sound of something flopping to the ground. I asked Wang Qiang in a low voice: "What is this long worm doing? What is this sound?"

Wang Qiang waited for a while, then replied in a low voice: "Do you remember that bulging belly? There must be some reason that woke up the hibernating giant snake. This guy was hungry when he woke up, but he found a bunch of stone men to make food and found something wrong. , went out to look for food again and came back, and now spit out the food like a stone man to prepare for hibernation. I guess the thing in Huanggu’s tomb was just bad luck. I met it first in the cave and was swallowed alive Spit here." There was a fluttering sound in the cave, and at the same time, the sour smell immediately rose.Thinking of the thick mucus on that half-human, half-yellow-skinned monster, I couldn't help but feel nauseous, and I managed to suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit.Li Ergou's trembling voice sounded from a place far away from me: "Then, when it vomits up its stomach, it should come and swallow us, right?"

I trembled a bit, and secretly cursed this guy for which pot he would never turn on and which pot he would carry. Unexpectedly, Wang Qiang kept silent this time and did not scold Li Ergou.Wang Gang whispered from a distance: "Li Ergou is right, it is likely to be so. Brother, we can't wait any longer. It will be even more difficult for us to deal with the giant snake when its stomach is completely empty and its body is flexible." Li Cunzhuang let out a hey: "Qiangzi, don't you have a grenade in your pocket? Boom a few of them and everything will be solved." Wang Gang said anxiously: "No, you can't use a grenade anyway. This is a stone cave. If it blows up a snake We don’t necessarily die, we must be buried alive. Not to mention grenades, guns can’t be used, the place is too small and dark, and the possibility of hurting one’s own people is too great.”

I asked, "What should I do then?" Wang Qiang chuckled, "Brother Quan, don't ask me about this. I'll call 'down' later, and you all get down on the ground, and leave the rest to us. Just now Son, are you going to be the bait or am I?" Li Ergou was surprised: "Let the Japanese come, we can't take this risk." Wang Qiang said disdainfully: "You really don't treat yourself as an outsider, let alone the Japanese soldier, even you There is not enough material for this to be used as live bait. You should still be optimistic about your big Japanese brother. What do you say, Gangzi?” Wang Gang said in a low voice: “I said we come together, let him chase at both ends, and he can’t take care of the tail. Have you put it away?" Wang Qiang said, "It's been put away earlier, let them all run away. Three...two...one, down!"

Wang Qiang yelled loudly, and we hurriedly fell to the ground.The giant snake seemed to hear Wang Qiang's loud shout, and suddenly the eyes of the lantern were raised high, and the air was filled with the hissing sound of the snake spitting out its core. It felt like Wang Qiang was running around in circles and stamping his feet vigorously.I lay down next to a fallen stone statue, watching the eyes of the giant snake chasing Wang Qiang with its snake body, suddenly Wang Qiang’s voice disappeared, I thought it was standing still, Wang Gang’s stomp sounded from the other side of the cave Voice: "This way, this way, come here." The giant snake's eyes turned and chased in the direction of Wang Gang's running. It seemed that the snake's tail happened to twitch my arm, and I immediately felt so painful that I couldn't lift it up. Li Cunzhuang next to me also groaned. where is it.Just after Wang finished tossing, Wang Qiang started to make trouble again. The giant snake ran back and forth twice and suddenly stopped moving. Its eyes lit up in the darkness like sparks of anger.Wang Qiang yelled: "Get up, get up, lean to the hole, lean to the hole." We didn't care about that much anymore, so we stuck it on the cave wall even when we were rolling and crawling. Before we could stick it, we saw the snake's eyes suddenly slammed into the direction of Wang Qiang's voice, and hit the cave wall with a bang, earth-shattering. Wang Qiang snorted and seemed to fly out in the air.Wang Gang's voice was shocked: "Brother, are you okay? Brother? What's wrong with you?" Wang Qiang didn't speak, but the giant snake's eyes suddenly looked over and stared at the place where Wang Gang was speaking. Li Cunzhuang and I couldn't care less about Wang Qiang's telling us not to intervene. Hit the side." There was another voice crying and crying. It was Li Ergou on the opposite side, who was also stomping his feet desperately: "Here, you fucking bump this way, I'm not afraid of you. This way, come this way!" He Li Cunzhuang and I were stunned when I called him, and I heard him crying and howling like ghosts and wolves all by himself. I thought to myself: Didn’t this guy get sick from fright? But Li Ergou jumped vigorously and the giant snake ignored him. To be precise, the giant snake ignored whoever it was, and rolled on the ground after a while.For a while, the cave was full of gravel, and the strong wind made it difficult to breathe. First, I heard Wang Gang groan, and then I felt as if a piece of stone fell on my back. Straight up, almost fainted. I was about to take the gun and shoot without thinking about it, when suddenly a picture appeared in front of me that I never imagined in my dreams... Time seemed to slow down suddenly in my eyes, and I saw the light of the lighter slowly lit up in Li Ergou's hand in the darkness.I saw Wang Qiang struggling to grab the net bag next to the cave wall, took out the wine bottle inside, and slowly poured wine on the giant snake's tail.I saw Li Ergou slowly throw the lighter towards the wine-stained snake tail.I saw a fire slowly burning at the tail of the snake.I saw the giant snake hissing and jumping straight towards the chimney-like hole above the cave.Many corpses fell from the belly of the long snake flying in the air, with the internal organs of the snake falling down. I lowered my head, and the last thing I saw was a pair of sharp knives stuck upside down on the ground in the middle of the cave. The blades were glistening with blood spots. It turned out that these knives unknowingly cut through the giant snake's leg in the dark. Belly, no wonder Wang Qiang told us not to move around.After thinking about it, I passed out. When I woke up, the huge snake carcass was piled up beside me to form a hill. It seemed that the giant snake jumped straight out and then fell straight down.The moonlight filled the cave, I looked up hastily, and saw that there seemed to be a round hole in the straight hole above, through which I could clearly see a few small stars in the sky, the moonlight shot into the cave from the round hole . Li Cunzhuang's voice sounded next to him: "Quanzi, are you awake?" I sat up with difficulty and pointed to the round hole on my finger: "What's going on?" Li Cunzhuang snorted: "What do you mean? So this is a dry well I don’t know if the bottom of the cave was covered by a stone or a manhole cover, but now it was pushed open by the dead snake with its tail burnt. Looking at the entrance of the cave, we can’t climb up. We are still a group of people locked in the well. The frogs below are still injured, a group of crippled frogs." I quickly understood what Li Cunzhuang meant: Wang Qiang and I were hit hard. We felt chest pains when we walked, and I almost lost feeling in my left hand.Li Cunzhuang's own leg was pulled by the tail of the snake, and he didn't know if it was broken. He found two dead bones and fixed himself with a splint.Wang Gang's right eye was probably hit by a stone, and it was swollen high.Miss Jin was still dizzy and had a fever.The only ones who were not injured were Li Ergou and the Japanese soldier.It seems that people are cheap and have stupid blessings. Thinking of Li Ergou's way of stomping his feet and jumping to attract snakes before I passed out, I swallowed back a curse word. A few people smiled wryly, no matter the injury, when will it be a head to be trapped at the bottom of this well?Wang Qiang struggled and dragged over the canned food in a net that he had been carrying all along: "I can't die from hunger, so many canned food, and this big snake, it's enough to last for ten days and a half months. This time I lost a few bottles of spirits, it's a pity Mostly honor the grandson of this snake." Wang Gang kicked the dead snake on the ground fiercely, "This guy, so he went to the battlefield to devour half-dead people. But you see, the spit out is our national army Brother's corpse. Why didn't a single Japanese swallow the stuff crawling inside and out? He deserved it!" Wang Qiang laughed and said, "The Japanese are stinky, and they don't even eat snakes!" Everyone laughed, and Li Ergou said timidly, "Master Qiang, it's not that snakes don't eat Japanese, the Japanese corpses are all in your hands." It’s in a can.” Wang Qiang smiled and said, “Oh.” Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he asked, “What did you just say?” Li Ergou lowered his head: "The bag of cans you are holding is not for food, but for the ashes of Japanese soldiers." We all jumped up.Wang Qiang hastily pried open a can with a bayonet, and a pile of gray-black powder poured out of it. He opened another can, but it was still the same. Wang Qiang threw the empty can at Li Ergou, and shouted: "You're going to die! It took so much effort!" Li Ergou lowered his head, "Didn't you always go all the way?" Do you want to hit me and scold me, who is willing to say it." Wang Qiang was so angry that he picked up the net bag and was about to throw it at it, and he coughed a few times when he lifted it halfway, covered his chest, and Wang Gang hurriedly helped him sit down. Li Cunzhuang spread his hands: "It's over, this is good, the lighter is burnt out, who of you has the appetite to eat this raw snake meat? Let's demonstrate it." Li Ergou pointed to the smiling Japanese soldier: "He can, The Japanese like to eat this kind of raw meat, what is it called sashimi." Li Cunzhuang kicked the snake corpse: "Then he is lucky, such a pile of snake meat is all his. I won't eat this if I starve to death. thing." Seeing Li Ergou pointing at him, the Japanese soldier muttered a few words. I asked Li Ergou, "What did he say?" Fearless and convinced. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must repay your life-saving grace." Li Cunzhuang scolded: "Tell him, if you really want to repay your kindness, let him find a way to hang two ropes from the top of the well." I smiled wryly, but before I could speak, suddenly Li Ergou said excitedly: "Look, look at the rope, someone is really putting the rope down." Slow down... A face protruded from the mouth of the well, Wang Gang had good eyes, and shouted excitedly: "Xiaogang, why is it you? Where is the company commander?" After a while, the face of the company commander Zhou Dehui was also exposed by the well, and we were so excited down the well. Cheers. When we all climbed out of the wellhead, the sky was already dark.I roughly told the company commander what happened, and the company commander looked at us: "Not bad, not bad, everyone is dressed like a Japanese soldier. There are second devils and real devils in the team. Who is this woman?" I blushed: "Company commander, this woman is Chinese, from Northeast Manchuria, she just can't speak Chinese, she was dragged away by the devils and rescued by us." The company commander nodded: "Okay, Xiao Xiao You just killed the two devils and the Japanese soldiers. Take off the uniform first, so as not to see blood, we will use it." I quickly took a step forward to stand in front of Liu Xiaogang who raised his foot: "Wait a minute, don't shoot." The company commander glanced at me: "What?" Commander, this is a prisoner of war. According to the agreement, a prisoner of war cannot be killed casually." The company commander sneered, "Casual? Now it's not casual, it's necessary." Wang Gang said in a low voice: "That's right, company commander, these two devils After going through some things with us, Brother Quan...I...seeing him die is a bit unbearable." The company commander looked at Li Ergou coldly. Li Ergou's face was pale and his legs were shaking.The Japanese soldier also looked at the company commander stupidly.The company commander turned around and waved to Liu Xiaogang: "Kill it." I called the company commander, and the company commander said coldly: "Needless to say, we have a task, a very important task, and we can't leave burdens and risks. And , Xiaogang and I are in need of these two devil uniforms." The sky gradually turned pale. I lowered my head and looked at the shadow of Liu Xiaogang on the ground. I took off the uniforms of Li Ergou and the Japanese soldiers, raised the bayonet, and Li Ergou collapsed on the ground.Suddenly Wang Qiang shouted: "Wait." I quickly raised my head, Liu Xiaogang looked at Wang Qiang in surprise, Wang Qiang grinned and said, "I swore to kill these two devils by my hands, if it wasn't for Brother Quan always pulling me, I would cut him ten times I have them all. And I want to sacrifice this devil to my wife, Xiaogang, please don’t grab me.” Liu Xiaogang looked at the company commander, and the company commander nodded: “Alright, come on.” As soon as Wang Qiang picked up Li Ergou, took out the bayonet and stabbed Li Ergou in the chest. I was sad for a while, thinking that God still destined Li Ergou to die in Wang Qiang's hands. Wang Gang yelled in a low voice: "Brother! Let him have a good time." Wang Qiang looked at Wang Gang and me, stopped and pushed Li Ergou and the Japanese soldiers to the well. Li Ergou's body was pushed into the well, and the Japanese soldier was also killed. He wiped the blood on the bayonet with two fingers, and said excitedly: "Enough fun." The company commander nodded: "Wang Qiang continued to cover the well with the stone." After putting on the Japanese military uniform, the company commander waved his hand: "Let's go, Quanzi don't look at it, don't think that I am too cruel to kill the prisoners. Compared with our mission below Get up, not to mention these two captives, our lives are nothing. Wang Gang took good care of that girl, and someone in front put her down." I didn't speak, and saw the company commander walking with a limp, and silently stepped forward to support him. The company commander looked at my inflexible left hand and shook his head.Liu Xiaogang packed up the bullets that had been hoisted up from the well earlier.Wang Gang supported Miss Jin, and a group of people walked in the snow in the direction that the company commander said. Not long after, Wang Qiang followed, coughed twice, and asked the company commander, "Commander, what's the next mission?" The company commander frowned, "Why does your voice sound internal?" Hit it. You should hurry up and talk about the task, don't be a fool." The company commander said: "Okay, let's start with the day we parted from the mountain temple..." The company commander said: "Xiao and I just rushed out of the mountain temple that day and found that the body of the wolf dog was gone. There was a small black hole in the snow. We kicked the snow away along the direction of the hole, and found a line of bloodstains on the bottom of the snow. Xiaogang and I looked at each other and knew that the thing that had slipped under the dog’s skin was the same as the thing we were killed by. It must be related to what happened in the cave before the devil caught him." "It's definitely not a good thing for this thing to follow us all the time. I thought at the time: For us, maybe this is something more deadly than devils. At that time, my leg was seriously injured. Staying in the mountain temple will only hinder you. How about Xiaogang and I followed the bloodstains to find out the truth of this thing, and if we had the chance, we would kill it. So I showed Qiangzi the hole and told him to follow the bloodstains to find us later.” Wang Gang blurted out: "I understand. It must be the explosion. We passed out for too long, and the snow filled the hole. The clues that were so obvious at the time, when we woke up, all clues were covered, so telling my brother is equivalent to Without saying that, we just lost contact." The company commander shook his head: "Actually, it's useless even if you dig a hole and follow the bloodstains. Xiaogang and I found the exit of the snow cave not long after we left the temple gate, but we rushed over to have a look. The strange thing is that the bloodstains are still in the cave. , but there was no blood or footprints on the side of the hole, and there was no trace that could tell the direction of escape. We wondered at the time, where did the things under the ground go? Can it grow wings? Xiaogang was still not convinced, so he took a bayonet and stabbed it under the snow earth." Wang Gang thought for a while and said: "There is another possibility. The thing probably didn't come out after digging out the exit. Instead, it dug back along the original snow path covered by falling snow, and dug all the way to the woodshed. The bottom is the one we met. Something happened." The company commander nodded: "It's very possible, but unfortunately we didn't think about it at the time, and we didn't have time to think about it, because there was a gunshot in the wind in the distance." I was surprised: "What? There were also people shooting outside the temple that night?" The company commander nodded and said, "Yes, don't say you are strange now, we were even more strange at the time. I decided at the time that I couldn't go back to the temple to drag you down anyway, so I let Xiaogang Go back and help you guys, I’ll go and see what’s going on, but Xiaogang firmly disagrees. At this moment, two gunshots rang out from the front.” I didn't care about that much anymore, and hurriedly followed the gunshot with Xiaogang, and soon Xiaogang suddenly said to me: "Company commander, over there, it was our brother who fired the gun. He was shooting something far away. It's too far away." , and it’s dark, so I can’t see very clearly.” After hearing this, I shouted, “Are those our brothers over there? Which team is there?” After the sound of a gunshot, there was a faint echo from the other side in the darkness: "I am from Commander Li's guard company, which unit are you in?" , I should be at the Taierzhuang headquarters now, why did I come to the front line?I couldn't believe it for a while, and shouted again: "Brother, you are hurt by the sound, do you want to help? Is your company commander Chen okay?" There was another gunshot over there, and the voice shouted: "Our company commander's surname is Wang, not Chen. But he has already sacrificed. Brothers over there, don't be tempted, help if you can, and escape if you can't. Here There are monsters that have devoured several of our brothers along the way." As soon as I heard that I couldn't take care of it anymore, I rushed over with Xiaogang, only recently did I realize that there was a huge monster winding in the distance, swimming towards here.The national army brother in front of him vomited blood while shooting to stop the monster from advancing.It's a pity that he was injured after all, and his hands were shaking badly. When he saw us, he smiled miserably: "It can't be done, the blood is bleeding too much, and the fingers are weak. If there is no injury, I will blow its eyes out with one shot." I quickly supported him and asked, "Brother, where is the injury?" The brother pointed to his neck, and the cloth strip he was tied with was bleeding: "It can't be done, I was ambushed by the little devil earlier, brothers were killed or injured." Most of the time, the blood stains attracted this giant snake again, followed us and devoured the rest of the brothers, and now there is only one bullet left. Leave me alone, hurry up, there is still time." Xiaogang didn't speak, took the brother's gun, took out the bullet, looked at it, and put the bullet's butt in his mouth, and the injured brother gasped and laughed: "You are an expert, but brother, although Bite tightly can increase the force of the bullet when it explodes, but it can't hit the eye, and it can't penetrate the monster's skin at all." Xiaogang said calmly: "I just want to hit it in the eyes, but let it get closer." The injured brother laughed again, "Sir, do you have any injuries on your legs? Well, if you can't run left and right, then you are Whether you live or die, it depends on this shot. Aim more accurately." I hummed, Xiaogang didn't speak, and continued to watch the winding black shadow getting closer and closer, and I could already see those lantern-like eyes. up. Xiaogang pushed the gun in front of that brother: "You aim, I'll shoot, to avenge your dead brothers." The brother smiled: "Okay, thank you brother, really give me Zhang Fuchun face." Li Cunzhuang exclaimed: "Zhang Fuchun, is it Fuchun? He is in the guard company of the headquarters? What a coincidence, what about others? Why didn't you see him bring him back?" The company commander took a few steps forward in silence: "Yes, it is Zhang Fuchun, the old comrade-in-arms who you mentioned to me before. I don't know how he got to the headquarters, but I found that Xiaogang's face was also pale Surprised, I knew you must have mentioned it to him." I nodded and said, "That's right. After you came out of the cave that day, the company commander, we heard what Lao Li said about him, saying that Zhang Fuchun's marksmanship is very good." The company commander hummed: "It's a good marksmanship. Shout out, Xiaogang pulled the trigger with his finger, and immediately one of the lantern eyes of the giant snake went out." "But the monster not only didn't escape, but swam over even more crazily. There was an angry cold light in the eyes of the other lantern. The three of us looked at each other and knew that there was trouble. At this moment, there was a loud noise from a distance. There was a loud noise, the ground trembled, the giant snake stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned and swam back." "Speaking of it now, it should be the loud noise you made when you bombed the mountain temple that saved our lives. We were relieved to see that black shadow wandering away. I want to get Zhang Fuchun away together, Unexpectedly, he pushed me away and told us the reason why the guard company was on the front line this time. So I decided to accept Zhang Fuchun's commission, and this will also be the task we will complete next." "Although our 31st Army was dispersed this time, the remaining troops have gathered and stationed at the bottom of Yunlong Mountain in Liangshan Pass, waiting for reinforcements. Originally, the headquarters sent a telegram to inform the troops that the sixty-eight and fifty-two A division came to rescue everyone from the siege, but soon found that the telegram was intercepted and deciphered by the devils, and the headquarters hurriedly re-drawn the plan, but because it could no longer be transmitted through the telegram, it sent a special commissioner escorted by the guard company deep into the hinterland of the battlefield to dictate Command's decision." "Because this decision is absolutely confidential, only the special commissioner knows about it. Zhang Fuchun and the others only know that the special commissioner is Commander Li's guest secretary, and he has won the trust of Commander Li. The security company knows nothing about the intelligence itself. But When they entered Xuzhou, they encountered a premeditated ambush when they broke through the devil's blockade. The special commissioner was captured, and most of the guards were killed or injured. Then the rest encountered the giant snake that came out to look for food on the way to escape. You all know what happened next gone." "We went back to the mountain temple and found that you had long since disappeared, and there were still a large group of devils following your traces. Fortunately, Xiaogang was there, chasing your whereabouts all the way, and found the secret passage in the cave. Xiaogang felt that this secret Dao must have an exit nearby, instead of going in to find you, it is better to wait for you at the exit." "So we searched for a long time above, and finally found an abnormality next to this dry well, and rescued you at the mouth of the well. Now, we must quickly rescue the special commissioner from the devil's barracks at all costs. The sooner the better, just in case He couldn't stand the torture, so he spit out the command's plan and made it fall into the hands of the devils, which would directly affect the outcome of the entire battle. Don't let me emphasize this." Li Cunzhuang asked: "Company commander, what if the devils cannot be rescued due to their tight defense?" The company commander said coldly: "If they can be rescued and sent to the Yunlong Mountain Camp, our 31st Army can cooperate with the headquarters to break through. If it cannot be rescued, then our military headquarters will be alone, but the outcome of the entire battle cannot be affected, so, you understand." We nodded silently, and the meaning of the company commander was obvious: it would be best if we could be rescued, everyone would have a way out.If not, our rescue task will become to assassinate the special commissioner. Anyway, we can't leave the devil alive, even if the military headquarters and our way of life are cut off. Li Cunzhuang asked urgently: "Company commander, you haven't said how Zhang Fuchun is doing now." The company commander took out a bayonet from his waist and threw it to Li Cunzhuang: "In order not to drag us down, there is blood from his neck on this bayonet. Keep it well." Li Cunzhuang looked and looked at the bayonet with trembling hands, and gently put it in his arms. We looked at Li Cunzhuang and did not speak. After a while, Wang Gang asked the company commander: "Company commander, Zhang Fuchun should have mentioned the appearance of this special commissioner, and what is his name?" I know his name, but he is easy to recognize, and there is one distinctive feature, the left hand of this special commissioner is a prosthesis from the elbow down, and the injury is old, so no one else can pretend to be it.” Wang Gang, Wang Qiang, Li Cunzhuang and I yelled at the same time: "A prosthesis for the left hand? Zhang Sanbiao?!" The company commander asked in surprise: "How do you know?" But what surprised him even more was yet to come.Liu Xiaogang, who heard our calls, stood stiffly behind without saying a word, and then he called out: "Zhang Sanbiao, my brother? How do you know him? How did he break his left hand?" Wang Gang and Wang Qiang exclaimed: "What? You are the younger brother Zhang Sanbiao mentioned and left him in a fit of anger? Isn't your surname Liu?" Broken?" Wang Gang roughly told Liu Xiaogang about Zhang Sanbiao's broken arm on the Eighteen Warriors Bridge. Liu Xiaogang felt like he had been hit with a slap in the face: "It turns out that this incident was about him. I have been away from the Northeast for too long, and I thought he was He deserved his own punishment for his many injustices." Li Cunzhuang smiled and said beside him: "I didn't hear anyone say that it's not that the time has not come yet for not reporting it?" Wang Qiang said angrily: "What are you talking about? The third brother is an upright man. Xiaogang, I think it's okay this time because you are his younger brother, but don't let me hear you speak ill of him again!" Liu Xiaogang fiercely Looking back at Wang Qiang, I thought that Liu Xiaogang was about to start a fight with Wang Qiang, so I quickly walked a few steps to get in between them, but Liu Xiaogang nodded, turned around and left: "That's fine, he's atonement for his broken arm, let's hurry up Bar." I breathed a sigh of relief, Li Cunzhuang smacked his lips, I knew it was a pity he didn't see Liu Xiaogang fighting Wang Qiang, and he gave this old soldier who was afraid of chaos.Li Cunzhuang chuckled, and the company commander glanced at him without saying a word.Li Cunzhuang shook his head, put the bayonet stained with Zhang Fuchun's blood into his arms, and walked quickly to catch up with Liu Xiaogang and Wang Qiang. I asked the company commander: "Company commander, where are we going?" The company commander said: "The plan now is like this. Originally, Zhang Fuchun and the others planned that at the time of dinner at 12:30 noon, there was a train from the northeast. The train passed Xuzhou Station, and the last wagon on it was ammunition. They planned to hijack the wagon, and then detonate the wagon when the train passed by the devil division by the side of the railway. Now Zhang Fuchun and their guard company have been wiped out, but this plan has not been leaked, we have no time to collect intelligence to formulate a new plan, we can only continue this plan.” Liu Xiaogang stopped: "Commander, I don't agree with this plan now, what if my brother is killed?" The company commander said coldly: "Whether it is success or failure, it is up to fate. If the chance of escaping from the barracks is not great, he will die at our hands anyway." Wang Qiang said angrily: "No!" Liu Xiaogang did not speak, looked at Company Commander, the atmosphere on the snow suddenly became tense. The company commander looked at the two people coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Report the number now, Liu Xiaogang." Liu Xiaogang subconsciously shouted: "Here!" "Wang Qiang!" "Here!" "Wang Gang!" "Here!" Quan!" "Here!" "Li Cunzhuang!" "Here!" After five people shouted, the company commander nodded: "Very good, plus me, Zhou Dehui, a total of six people." "This time there was not one more person, all of them were our own people. We were lucky. There were six people who survived the last battle, and now there are six people. I don't want to find out who the extra one was, and I don't want to Ask who among us has anything to do with whom, because after today, maybe not one of us will be left." "We have family, we have friends, but they will gradually forget us after a long time. They will not know what we have experienced in the war and what we have sacrificed. They don't know that when one of us dies, we have exchanged for ten Hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people live. But we must know that what we die is not just to kill one to earn money in the fight with devils, but to kill two to earn one. Our death is not only to kill the enemy, Our death is more to let our relatives and friends live better!" "We should be proud of ourselves! But even if we all die, the person we want to save cannot be saved. If the devils find out the information he brought, is our death worthwhile? This is how wars are. We are not ordinary people. We are soldiers. We are sorry for the feelings of our brothers and parents. We must either kill more enemies or save more of our own people. This is our life as soldiers.” "Xiaogang, I know that Zhang Sanbiao is your elder brother; Wang Qiang, I know that you admire Zhang Sanbiao the most. I can understand you, but if you really don't shoot at a critical moment, I will not forgive you. I will kill Zhang Sanbiao, I I will kill you, or be killed by you, or be killed by devils. But I die comfortably, because I know that even if my shot kills the entire division, our army will have more The division survived because of my shot, and sooner or later the Japanese devils will be driven back to the East by hundreds of divisions, or they will all be buried on our Chinese soil." "Now, if anyone of you still has an opinion on the arrangement of this mission, just say it. People who have opinions have two choices: either get out of the team, but don't follow behind to cause damage, or I will shoot him dead. Or现在就开枪打我，看谁枪快。就这样！” 连长盯着刘晓刚和王强，刘晓刚和王强脸色发黑，紧紧抓住枪杆，连长哼了一声：“陈泉，李存壮，把他们两个枪卸了。”我答应一声，拍拍刘晓刚的肩膀：“兄弟，对不住了。”刘晓刚一把推开我的手：“我说对任务有意见了吗？放心，真到那时候，我不要你们下手，我第一枪打死我哥，第二枪打死我自己。” 刘晓刚眼睛看着我，但我知道他的话是对连长说的。连长点点头，“王强？”王强闭着嘴点点头，连长也点点头：“好，没问题抓紧走吧。王刚，前面有人家就把那姑娘放下，跟着我们太危险，我们也没闲心去照顾她。” 王刚哦了一声，我和李存壮看了看他，一行人默默地走了又走，我停步回头看去，冬天的太阳升在空中却没有暖意，太阳下那口埋了李二苟和那日本兵尸体的井已经模糊成了一个黑点，在视线里逐渐淡去。 我深深地看了一眼井那边的天空，转身快步追上了队伍。 李存壮喊：“连长，连长。”连长问：“怎么？”李存壮抬头指指天；“我说连长，你看看太阳升的位置，快十点了，我们这行人里面，你腿伤了，胡子强和泉子那是边走边喘，你看我腰里这青，走着钻心痛，几个人走得还没人家大姑娘快。火车是中午十二点半到站吧？我看我们下午一点半也走不到那。” 李油子这话虽然阴阳怪气，但倒句句在理上，我们全停下来看着连长，刘晓刚说：“要不，我先走，你们随后。”连长摇摇头：“你一个人去了白搭，而且李存壮说得对，就是你现在跑起来，也赶不上十二点半的火车。”刘晓刚急道：“那怎么办？”王强忽然嘘了一声，趴倒在地，片刻抬头兴奋地说：“连长，真是要睡觉来枕头，三匹马，日本的大洋马，这回能赶上了。” 连长低声说：“全部趴下埋伏，记住无论如何不能伤了马。”刘晓刚说：“没问题，都别开枪，我来。”连长说：“好。”过了十分钟左右，三匹马载了三个日本骑兵依次出现在我们不远处，刘晓刚连开三枪，三个骑兵应声落地，王强冲出去一把牵住最前面冲来的马，兴奋得咧嘴直笑。 连长皱眉说：“不好，那两匹掉头分开跑了。晓刚干什么，不准开枪！”王强翻身上马，驾了一声，尾随而去，过了一会儿，拎着两匹马的缰绳跑了回来，翻身下马，得意得不行：“跑不了，别忘了我早些年是干什么的。连长，这马鞍里有封信。” 刘晓刚牵过一匹马，王刚看连长展信不说话，凑过去看了一会儿：“上面是日文吧，下面倒是满洲字： 大满洲国康德皇帝阁下： 今有满洲国遣华东特使爱新觉罗·显玗格格于营中惊失芳踪，三军震撼，疑因故未及道别返回东北，望妥善玉查，如有确切消息敬请通告为安。 落款是日军三十六师团师长。连长，就是和我们前天打仗的那个师团吧。我给金姑娘看看，有没有翻译错了。 " 王刚说了几句满洲话，那位金姑娘回了几句，王刚点点头：“没错，是这意思。”连长微微一笑：“又是满洲国那帮汉奸败类，看来派了个皇族大小姐来这观光。结果小姐脾气发了，嫌打仗不好玩，一声没吭跑回家去了。” 我们哈哈大笑，连长问王刚：“对了，这位金姑娘叫什么？底下我们要骑马走了，告诉她我们如果前面看不见人家，就在火车站让她下。有机会她自己走吧。” 王刚哦了一声，对金姑娘说了几句，回头对连长说：“她说她叫金璧辉，她说她不会说汉族话，不可能一个人从这里回到东北的，希望跟我们一起走。”连长皱眉说：“胡闹！”王刚脸红了喃喃不说话，李存壮打了个圆场：“连长，我们拦火车皮也不能把一列火车的人都炸死吧。到时候肯定得把这列车皮和挂车分开来。上火车的时候我们把金姑娘放前面车厢里她直接跟火车去东北不就是了？她乘车头走，我们炸留下的车尾。两不耽误。”连长摇摇头：“不行，现在不能再有节外生枝的事情。我决定了，现在就把她留下。大家上马走！” 我们都不敢多说，王刚跟金璧辉说了几句，金姑娘哇地哭了起来，我们看着都不敢说话。王强、王刚各翻身上了一匹马，李存壮看我们都不动，咬牙上了最后一匹，被大洋马一屁股撅了下来，起来拍拍屁股骂骂咧咧就要掏枪，连长喝住了他：“晓刚，泉子你们来。” 我们一起摇头：“没骑过，怕不成。”连长也摇摇头：“我倒是会骑，就是腿伤了，夹不住鞍。要不还是我来试试，你们跟王刚王强的马，李存壮跟我。” 连长上马后脸上立刻露出了痛苦的神色，李存壮磨蹭着不肯上去，忽然那位金璧辉姑娘拉住了王刚的马绳，焦急地喊着什么。王刚面有喜色：“连长，金姑娘会骑马。” 连长唔了一声：“她会骑马？”王强抢着说：“关外的满族女人，都是遛马的好手。”连长看看自己的腿：“那好吧。泉子你下来，跟金姑娘和李存壮一起。” 连长下马跟在王刚后面，金姑娘翻身上马。李存壮抢我前面爬了上去，王强警告说：“李油子你手放干净点，那是我弟媳妇。”王刚叫了声：“哥。”王强哈哈大笑，驾马带着刘晓刚飞驰出去。王刚带连长驾马紧随其后，金姑娘和我、李存壮骑在最后一匹马上，朝着越升越高的太阳奔去。 那个冬天早上的太阳是那么的红，我永远也忘不了，就像提前涂满了我们将要流下的鲜血。而当太阳落下的时候，我们连里六个人已经再也不能聚集在一起了。 如果最后没有比鲜血还红的真相，即使我们死去，也会一直彼此怀念下去。
