Chapter 1885: Seizing "Yang Luo'er" (Part 1)
At dusk, a battle finally came to an end.
From afar, Shuiquan Town could be heard to be noisy, as the people who had hidden in the fields were returning to their homes. As for the fields, only one or two shots were heard occasionally.
But at this time, two young men with guns hid in a patch of wormwood in the wild. Thirty meters below the woods was the road leading to Shuiquan Town, and it was already five or six miles away from Shuiquan Town.
The taller of the two young men was called "Zhuanzi".
It must be reminded here that this "Zhuanzi" is the "Zhuan" of a wooden stake, not the "Zhuan" of the ancient Chinese manor that turned into a butterfly flying in a dream.
The reason why "Zhuanzi" was called "Zhuanzi" was that his father and mother could not stand when they gave birth to a child when they were young, and when they had him, they named him "Zhuan" of a wooden stake, hoping to keep him, just like the stake for tying a horse, and it really came true.
The other shorter one was called "Guokui", because he was short and fat, and his real name was Guo, but he was given this nickname by others.
The helmet here does not mean armor, but a container that is smaller than a basin and larger than a bowl.
Zhuangzi and Guokui are both members of the village protection team.
In the south of the town, the Eighth Route Army, the Northeast Army and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely, and Chen Laocai's village protection team was guarding inside the village.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, accurate news came that the Japanese army that entered the town was almost wiped out by the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Army.
At this time, Chen Laocai sent out the people of the village protection team.
In theory, out of consideration for the safety of the personnel of the village protection team, Chen Laocai should not have sent his people out so early.
But Chen Laocai also discussed with the people below, and now they have made enemies with the Japanese devils.
Fighting with the Japanese devils is not a question of whether you want to die or not, but it is inevitable that people will die!
So, since the results are the same, it is better to go out now, see the world, and help the Northeast Army and the Eighth Route Army to clean up the mess.
The so-called cleaning up the mess is nothing more than helping to maintain order and picking up some "loot" to make a fortune. Of course, if you can pick up a Type 38 rifle, it would be even better!
But everyone was wandering around Shuiquan Town, and the two of them came out late, so it was not their turn to pick up the loot.
They heard that the first group of people from the armored team emptied the pockets of the dead Japanese, and the second group took off the Japanese clothes and big shoes.
They and the two of them were already in the third group. When they saw the Japanese, the Japanese had nothing except the loincloth wrapped around their waists.
Although some Japanese had a piece of white cloth around their waists, who wanted it?
Guokuier and the others thought it was unlucky and no one wanted it. As a result, the white cloth on the two dead Japanese bodies they saw was taken away by other members of the village protection team.
Just imagine, the dead bodies were all stripped naked, so where would the two of them get the guns?
When they brought up this topic, other members of the village guard team said, would the guns be ours? Wouldn't the Northeast Army and the Eighth Route Army have to take them?
Zhuangzi and Guo Kun thought the same, but in the end it was Guo Kui who came up with an idea.
He said, let's go outside the town and find a must-pass road to guard it. There will always be some Japanese who slip through the net and pass through there. Let's just shoot them and we will have guns, right?
Zhuangzi is eighteen this year and Guo Kui is seventeen this year. They are both full of vigor and vitality. Since they have thought of it, let's do it.
As for the consequences, they didn't think about it. All they thought about was that some of the people in the village guard team who were usually good friends with them were killed or injured by the Japanese devils.
Zhuangzi and Guo Kui were good friends. They both wanted to exchange their broken guns for good Japanese guns, that is, the Type 38 rifle.
Others picked up spoils, but they decided to rob spoils!
So, the two of them came here without telling anyone and took their broken guns.
They were locals in Shuiquan Town, so of course they were familiar with the road out of Shuiquan Town.
This section of road under the woods was not very dangerous, but if they really wanted to catch the Japanese who had escaped, it would still be possible.
Above, where they were hiding, it was only more than 30 meters away from the road, and on the other side of the road was a muddy pond.
Although it had not rained recently, there was no water there. But the mud was there, and the Japanese devils could not go there to escape.
As for the muddy pond next to it, it was a low-lying land, which was also difficult to walk.
And because the wheat had been cut, people walking there could easily be spotted from a distance.
They judged that as long as the Japanese soldiers fled back, they would definitely go here.
Another very important point is that the rifles in their hands were broken.
Their marksmanship was not accurate, and they had only fired three or four shots in total, which were fired in the village when the Japanese attacked Shuiquan Town today.
At a distance of 20 to 30 meters, they were still confident of hitting the boss alive!
"Why haven't the Japanese devils come out yet?" The two had been waiting for a while, and Zhuanzi was a little anxious.
"Why are you anxious? If you want to escape, can you run out in the morning? Why don't you wait until it's almost dark?" Guokui analyzed.
Zhuanzi thought it made sense when he heard what Guokui said.
Those Japanese devils lost the battle. They were scattered in the village and in the fields. It was impossible for them to fight openly like when they came. Naturally, they had to sneak back when it was dark.
So Zhuanzi was no longer in a hurry, and the two began to talk.
What they talked about was nothing more than seeing the spoils that other village guards got from the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, such as a few pieces of candy that one got, a photo of a Japanese woman that another got, and another example, someone found a big gold tooth in the mouth of a Japanese devil, and he used a knife to pry the gold tooth off!
Zhuanzi and Guokui were very ashamed of such behavior, because they felt it was very disgusting!
The two chatted slowly like this, and soon, dusk was about to fall.
And at this time, the two of them saw from a distance that there was really a figure on the road in front of them.
There was a bush there, and the man came out of the bush.
While Zhuanzi and Guokui sincerely wanted to get the gun, they took a shortcut and went straight into the wormwood bush.
They were afraid of being seen by the Japanese soldiers on the way, and now it seems that their approach is really right.
It's just that it's not dark yet, and the man is less than 100 meters away from them. After they looked at him, they were a little disappointed.
This is because the man was wearing ordinary people's clothes, and he looked taller than the Japanese.
When he got closer, they saw that he was wearing glasses!
But at this time, the two of them also saw the man's behavior clearly, and he looked a little sneaky.
But if you just think he is a Japanese devil just because he is sneaky, it's too far-fetched!
Zhuanzi and Guokui lay behind the airtight wormwood, pointing their rifles at the man, and they didn't worry about being discovered by the other party.
The two whispered again.
"He doesn't look like a good person!" Zhuanzi said.
"It's hard to say! Maybe it's the Eighth Route Army or the Captain Shang's men. If we kill the wrong ones again, we'll be in trouble!" Guokui said.
Zhuanzi said "hmm".
Whether it's the Eighth Route Army or the Northeast Army, they have helped Shuiquan Town a lot. If they kill them, it would be a revenge!
The man was closer, but at this moment, the eyes of both of them lit up, because they saw that the man who was walking bare-handed suddenly pulled out a box gun from his waist, and it was 20 shots!
"Who is this guy from?" Guokui was a little anxious.
He had planned to let this man go, but when he saw that the man had a box gun in his hand, he felt itchy
"I don't know, it would be great if we could grab a box gun!" Zhuanzi also said.
The two were muttering, and seeing that the man was only 50 meters away from them, they stopped talking and lay there watching.
But at this moment, they saw that the man suddenly stopped and began to scan the weeds where the two of them were hiding.
Zhuanzi and Guokui quickly lowered their heads and put down the rifles that were originally on their shoulders.
Because the weeds were dense, the man couldn't see anything, but at this time, Guokui and Zhuanzi found that the man suddenly turned around and waved to the back.
As the man waved, Zhuanzi and Guokui couldn't help but hold the guns in their hands tightly, because there really was another Japanese soldier coming out of the bushes where the man walked onto the road before!
