Next Chapter

In the early morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific War broke out.

This time, Japan dispatched about 360 planes and 55 warships, led by Nagumo Tadaichi, to attack US warships and airfields at Pearl Harbor twice in succession, sinking and damaging 19 warships, including eight battleships, and destroying or damaging more than 260 aircraft.

At the same time, the Japanese Southern Army, commanded by Terauchi Shouichi, had more than 400,000 troops and attacked Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Burma in several ways.

On December 25, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong surrendered, and the Japanese army immediately occupied Hong Kong.

On February 15, 1942, Singapore and Malaysia signed an instrument of surrender with the British commander Percival, and the Japanese army occupied Singapore and Malaysia.

On March 9, 1942, the Indonesian Dutch army surrendered to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army occupied the Indonesian archipelago.

On May 6, 1942, more than 70,000 U.S.-Filipino troops surrendered in Bataan, and the Philippines fell.

On May 8, 1942, Myitkyina, an important town in northern Burma, was lost, the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British and Indian troops fully retreated, and Burma fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

In just half a year, the Japanese army swept through Southeast Asia, cutting off almost all foreign aid channels between China and its allies, making China's War of Resistance against Japan fall into a more passive situation. At the same time, the Japanese troops stationed in China concentrated their superior forces to carry out a brutal and inhumane sweep of the anti-Japanese base areas, and implemented the "three-light policy" of "burning, killing, and robbing them all," implemented a policy of "encroachment" on the guerrilla areas, and adopted a policy of "clearing the countryside" in the Japanese-occupied areas, in an attempt to completely extinguish China's anti-Japanese forces. China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered its most difficult year.

On May 1, 1942, the invading Japanese army gathered more than 50,000 Japanese puppet troops, and with the cooperation of the air force, dispatched hundreds of tanks and automobiles, under the personal command of Okamura Ninji, commander of its North China Dispatch Army, to launch an unprecedentedly cruel and barbaric "iron-walled" sweep against the military and civilians of China. In this sweep, the enemy, relying on his military superiority in mobility, adopted the tactics of "pulling the net" and "combing the grate" in a multi-way and dense manner, in an attempt to compress the leading organs and main forces of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei from all directions in the hinterland of the base areas where the four counties of Shen (Xian), Wu (Qiang), Rao (Yang), and An (Ping) are contiguous and annihilate.

In early June, after more than a month of hard fighting, the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei has never been able to smash the sweep of the Japanese army, under the crazy attack of the little devils, the main forces have suffered heavy losses, and the living space is constantly shrinking, and gradually fell into the encirclement of the little devils, and the situation has become extremely dangerous.

Liuzhuang is an ordinary village in the central Hebei region, but this village is not ordinary, it is a famous anti-Japanese model village in the central Hebei region, the whole village has only about 100 households, more than 500 people, there are as many as 50 young and middle-aged people who participated in the Eighth Route Army, even the young and middle-aged people who did not join the army have almost all joined the militia and guerrillas, and the Jizhong Military Region has commended the village several times.

However, on June 7, 1942, the claws of the Japanese army finally reached out to this seemingly ordinary village.

"Bang~!" A crisp gunshot shattered the silence of the morning, followed by a series of dense gunshots, and the villagers who were eating breakfast heard the gunshots and ran out to check on the situation.

At this time, a militia soldier hurriedly ran into the village, shouting loudly as he ran: "Folks~! Run! The little devil entered the village. The little devil is coming! Folks, run away! It's too late! ”

As soon as the villagers heard that the devil was coming, they ran into the house one after another, leading the old people and children to run outside the village. The militia in the village took up arms one after another and ran towards the entrance of the village, trying to block the little devils and buy time for the villagers to retreat.

However, the little devils came prepared, several roads out of the village were blocked by the devils, under the fierce attack of the devils, most of the dozens of militiamen in the village died heroically, and another twelve were injured and captured, and hundreds of villagers in the village, except for a few who escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, most of them were blocked in the village by the little devils who surrounded them on all sides.

The murderous little devil rushed into the village like a pack of hungry wolves, and drove hundreds of villagers to a clearing in the village with bayonets.

"The flower girl's has ~!" Several little devils laughed and rushed into the crowd, pulling out all the dozen or so young girls in the crowd.

"Little devil on dog days, Lao Tzu fought with you!" One of the villagers roared angrily, then pounced on a little devil, raised his fist and smashed it into the little devil's face, blowing the little devil to the ground with one punch.

"Yaga~!" The two little devils next to him were furious, and immediately raised their bayonets and picked the villager to death. In addition, several villagers were shot to death by the little devils or picked to death with bayonets for resisting. The corpses were lying on the ground, the ground was red with blood, and the children were so frightened that they cried, and the scene was terrible.

Then the murderous little devil dragged the dozen or so young girls to a nearby house for their sexual pleasure.

The little devil ordered those puppet soldiers to be responsible for guarding these villagers, and after a while, the screams and angry scolding of women sounded in the house, and the villagers outside were furious one by one, scolding one by one, and some wanted to rush over to rescue their relatives, but in the face of the cold bayonets of the Japanese puppet army, they could only look away, and there were a few more corpses on the ground.

After a while, the little devils who had finished venting their ** walked out one by one with their pants contented.

Then the cruel little devil ordered someone to block the door, doused gasoline, set the house on fire, and the dozen or so young girls inside were all burned alive after being humiliated by the little devil.

At this time, there was another group of Japanese puppet soldiers, escorting a group of people to Liuzhuang, these people were all villagers from nearby villages, a total of dozens of people.

The little devil in the lead is named Jiro Yamada, with the rank of lieutenant. Jiro Yamada glanced at the dozens of villagers who had just been escorted over, and said in broken Chinese: "You guys, you have heard me clearly, let you come here today, just to let you see, the resistance to my Great Japanese Imperial Army is dripping, and now you have your eyes wide for me to see clearly." ”

Immediately, a few two devils rushed up, shouting loudly for these people to raise their heads, and the people had no choice but to raise their heads, only to see that in an open space in front of them, twelve pillars were erected, on which were tied twelve captured militia fighters, and in front of them stood twelve little devils, behind these little devils, there was a big cauldron, and a large pot of polenta was boiling in the pot.

"Third uncle, what the hell is the little devil doing?" A middle-aged man in the crowd in Liuzhuang Village whispered to an old man next to him.

"You can't even see this, haven't you heard of killing chickens and monkeys? The little devil deliberately arrested all the people with heads and faces in the nearby villages, just to let them see how we were killed, to scare them, and to make them dare not resist the Japanese. The third uncle said softly.

"These brutes are really not things!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Humph! Calling them brutes is an insult to brutes. The third uncle said expressionlessly.

"That's right! These guys aren't even as good as brutes! It's just that I don't understand, what are they doing with a pot and boiling a big pot of polenta? Could it be that the little devil is kind-hearted and lets us drink a bowl of porridge before he dies? The middle-aged man said with a frown.

"Hmph~! How can a bunch of guys who are not as good as beasts have such kindness! Look, the little devil must not be holding back any good fart. The third uncle said with a frown.

"By the way, how is the wounded Eighth Route Army in your family, Third Uncle?" The middle-aged man asked suddenly.

"Shhh~! Be quiet, let the little devil hear it, and then you will die in the next life. The third uncle hurriedly said.

"I estimate that even if he is not caught by the little devil, he will not survive, he has been in a coma for two days and two nights, and there is no movement at all." The middle-aged man said with some disappointment.

"Hey~!" The third uncle sighed deeply and said, "Then the future is a hero!" The day before yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that he and more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were defending a bridgehead in order to cover the retreat of the main force. The little devils on the opposite side are dense, black and pressing, and there are at least a thousand people. More than a dozen of them were stunned and held on to the bridge for two hours, and finally the little devil finally rushed up, they picked up the big knife and fought hard with the little devil, hacking dozens of little devils to death, the little devil was finally scared and retreated, but more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, he was left alone. So the brutes opened fire, and I saw him blown up into the river. I thought to myself that maybe this boy had a big life, so I ran down the river to the downstream, and sure enough, I got him up, and this boy had a really big life, and he didn't lose his breath, but he was unconscious, so I brought him back. ”

"Hey~! No matter how big the life is, it is estimated that this time it will be over. The middle-aged man sighed helplessly and said.

"In any case, we must do our best to protect him, whether we live or die, it depends on the destiny of heaven. What we lack most now is such anti-Japanese heroes, and if I Chinese are like this, how can I be humiliated by this group of Oriental beasts. The third uncle said excitedly.

At this time, Yamada Jiro walked up to the militia tied to the pillar, and said loudly with an excited face: "The Dutch in Indonesia have surrendered, the Americans in the Philippines have surrendered, the British have surrendered in Singapore and Malaysia, and the British army in Burma and your expeditionary force have also been beaten by our Imperial Japanese Army. You foolish people, still vainly trying to confront our Japanese Imperial Army, are simply seeking their own death. However, my Imperial Japanese Army is merciful, now I will give you a chance, as long as you surrender, the Imperial Army will spare you, otherwise you will all die and pull Ladi~! ”

"Phew~!" A militia soldier spat out a mouthful of blood, glared at Yamada Jiro with an angry face, and scolded loudly: "You pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, let Lao Tzu hear clearly." Lao Tzu didn't know any Dutch, British or American. Even if the whole world surrenders, we Chinese will definitely not surrender, let alone give in to you beasts! Today you beasts killed us, we still have 45,000,000 compatriots, even if only one Chinese is left, we will never give in. One day, we will drive you brutes out of our homeland once and for all, and one day we will collect this blood debt from you. ”

"Yes~! We Chinese would rather die than surrender! If you have the ability, you will kill Lao Tzu, and you will be a good man again eighteen years later! The other militia fighters also shouted loudly.

"Bagaya Road~!" Jiro Yamada was furious, pulled out his command knife, and roared loudly: "Kill~!" Kill me! Kill all these bastards~! ”

The twelve little devils immediately raised their bayonets and fiercely stabbed the twelve militiamen in the chest, and these twelve heroic soldiers, without fear, raised their arrogant heads one by one, and shouted with righteousness and awe: "Down with Japanese imperialism, long live China!" ”
