Chapter 43: Volley
Yang Tianlei pretended not to hear the irony in Araki's words, but he secretly cursed Araki's words in his heart. It is true that his people have guns in their hands, but they are horse bandits and not soldiers, Yang Tianlei, who mixed with the Northeast Army in the early years, knows the gap between the bandits and the regular army, if it weren't for the speed of the horse, maybe the dozen or so soldiers of the national army would still be resisting.
"Big brother, the brothers are holding a live mouth over there." Yang Tianlei was still in a trance, the second master Black Whirlwind who rode over from the front shouted loudly, Yang Tianlei looked fixedly, Black Whirlwind was holding a long rope in his hand, and the end of the rope was dragging a national soldier covered in blood. When Yang Tianlei leaned down to look at Matou, Matou, who couldn't stop spurting blood foam in his mouth, was also looking at this big black man sitting on horseback, bandit? Horse thieves? Matou, who was already in a trance, tried to sober himself up so that he could see this guy's face clearly, but the more he shook his head, the more blurry it became.
The Araki hero who rode his horse and stood beside Yang Tianlei urged the horse forward, and the horse's hooves with iron palms stepped heavily on one of Matou's legs, "Ah" Matou, who was lying on his back on the ground and couldn't help shaking his head, curled up, and when the horse's hooves stepped on the thigh, the Matou who looked in a trance even heard the sound of his leg bones being broken. The sharp pain coming from his thigh made Ma Tou unbearable, but this sharp pain finally made his trance-like nerves clear, and his unfocused vision finally returned to normal, and he could see the two guys in front of him clearly.
"How many troops are there in the city? Say it, and Lao Tzu will surround you with a small life. Yang Tianlei turned over and dismounted expressionlessly, squatted in front of Ma Tou, and asked in a gentle tone. Araki Hero, who was still sitting on horseback, pouted, he thought that Yang Tianlei's methods were too peaceful, and he had to be ruthless if he wanted to get the information he wanted, but he was a soldier who had broken his leg and was seriously injured, and he really couldn't be so kind.
The hemp head with blood foaming in his mouth couldn't stop panting, glanced at Yang Tianlei from the corner of his eye, and then the slightly relieved Ma Tou asked, "Who are you?" Yang Tianlei's face was already dark, and when he squatted down and looked at Matou, his face was even darker, and the Araki Hero who was still sitting on horseback was dressed as a businessman, but the fierce light in his eyes hidden behind the lenses was looked at by Matou, who had only seen such a gaze in the eyes of the military commanders.
Yang Tianlei didn't speak, but kept staring at Ma Tou's eyes, if it weren't for the family members of his brothers to have a chance to live, he wouldn't have brought his brothers here to help the Japanese do things, the determination in Ma Tou's eyes made Yang Tianlei suddenly feel ashamed of himself. "If you don't say it, then I guess, you must be traitors who help the Japanese, the bandits around Macheng have long been wiped out by us, and the bandits are not so bold to fight with the national army." The speed of Ma Tou's speech was a little urgent, and the blood spit out from his mouth collapsed Yang Tianlei's face.
"Yang Sang, what kind of effort are you going to waste with him, not to mention killing him, we have more important things to do." Seeing that Yang Tianlei was convulsive and confronted this half-dead soldier, the Araki hero sitting on horseback was a little anxious. Cooperate with bandits and horse thieves to attack Macheng, this is a plan that the special high class has planned for a long time, and he has more than Yang Tianlei and a group of bandits in his hands, less than 5 miles behind them, there is also a group of bandits on foot who are gathering here, whether they can successfully take Macheng, this is related to the status and power of Araki Hero in the special high school in the China region in the future.
"Yo, it's really a little devil, I said why do these eyelids keep jumping today." After coughing up a mouthful of blood vigorously, Matou's spirit looked much better, and he smiled and looked at the Araki hero on horseback. "Didn't you come down to know the troop arrangements in Ludao City? I can tell you, but you have to fulfill one of my wishes first, I always hear them talk about Japanese, but I have never seen what Japanese people look like, you come and let me take a closer look, and I will naturally tell you what you want to know. ”
The Araki hero on horseback was a little stunned, what kind of request was this, at first the Araki hero thought that the other party wanted to sneak attack him after he got off the horse, but then looked at the sluggish look of the hemp head and the blood spit out on his chest, Araki Hero immediately dispelled this idea, what threat could such a person who was about to die have. Half-convinced, he turned over and dismounted and squatted down beside Matou, and Matou kept vomiting blood as Araki Hero thought, completely looking like he was about to swallow his breath.
"You Japanese look similar to us, I don't see any difference." After Ma Tou said this, his face suddenly turned white and frightening, and his lips just trembled but he couldn't say a word, which made Araki Hero anxious. The anxious Araki hero grabbed the front lining of the Matou military uniform and shook it hard, trying to make the dying Matou regain some senses, so that he could finish asking what he wanted to ask. Maybe it was Araki Hero's actions that were really useful, and the pock, who was already about to run out of breath, miraculously coughed again, and Araki Hero was overjoyed and immediately asked the question he had just asked.
"Ahem, come here, get closer and I'll tell you." Ma Tou spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and his voice was so low that it was hard to hear. Araki Hero, who had no doubts anymore, lowered his body as he spoke, and put his ear to Matou's mouth, trying to hear what Matou said with his shaking lips. Yang Tianlei, who was pushed aside by Araki Hero, flashed a trace of doubt in his eyes, this national soldier who was about to die was obviously not a person who would bow to the Japanese, so why did he want to be like Araki Hero?
"Ah, let go, you quickly let go of your mouth, Yang Sang, come and help me and break his mouth open." Just when Yang Tianlei was stunned to find an answer, the Araki hero who was lying in front of Ma Tou screamed and smashed Ma Tou desperately with his fist. The blood splattered from Matou's body and mouth had already dyed Araki's face red, but Araki's screaming Hero didn't want to stop, because his ears were still in Matou's mouth.
With the help of Yang Tianlei and the two horse bandits, Araki Hero finally broke free from Ma Tou, but his ear that was bitten by Ma Tou was bitten off alive. "It's fucking fun, it's fucking fun, but you Japanese meat really stinks." The bloody pockmarked man screamed with pleasure, the ear he bit off from Araki Hero had already been chewed and swallowed into his stomach, and as the sound of Matou's shouting became weaker, the Chinese soldier who had attacked Araki Hero finally spit out the last breath in his chest.
Looking at the bloodstained corpse of Matou, Araki Hero couldn't help but gasp, but hastily bandaged the wound on his ear with a strip of cloth, and Araki Hero, who turned over and got on the horse again, hurriedly urged Yang Tianlei to lead the team to Macheng County. The blood of the Imperial soldiers cannot be shed in vain, and Hero Araki interrupted to use the blood of the Shina people to wash away the humiliation he had just suffered, and perhaps it would be only by directly slaughtering half of the prefecture that he could calm his anger.
Looking at the corpse of the hemp head and sighed softly, Yang Tianlei, who turned over on the horse, urged the horse forward, and led his horse bandits to gallop towards the county seat. Matou's efforts were not in vain, the gunfire may not have traveled that far, but the explosion of the grenade was heard by the patrol outside the city, and the patrol team who heard the explosion sent people back to the county seat to report, and at the same time gathered people to rush to the place where the explosion sounded.
The movement of hundreds of horses galloping together was not small, and there was still a corner away from Yang Tianlei's horse team, and the patrol team that came in a hurry had already arrived at the shaking of the ground. "Uphill, uphill." The veteran leader of the patrol pointed to the small slope on the side of the road and shouted, and the panting patrol soldiers behind him rushed to the top of the slope.
Yang Tianlei, who was galloping, didn't notice that there would be people hiding on the slope on the side of the road, but the Araki hero who rode the horse next to him was a guy with excellent eyesight, but he found out a little late, and when the Araki hero found that there were people on the slope on the side of the road, the patrol soldiers lying on the slope had already pulled the trigger of his rifle on him. It's not that the soldiers of the second company on the top of the slope have to hit him, it's just that Araki Hero has a strip of cloth on his head and a short gun in his hand, so it's too obvious that he is too obvious.
"Bang" The gunshot rang out, and the Araki hero fell off his horse in response, "Shoot me, shoot and shoot." The veteran of the patrol who fired the first bullet shouted loudly and pulled the bolt to withdraw the cartridge case, and the patrol soldier lying on the top of the slope pulled the trigger, and the sparse but contented bullet flew down the top of the slope and into the galloping horse.
The patrol team arranged by Tang Cheng outside the city is also based on squads, and the number of patrol soldiers on the slope is about the same as that of Matou, but after all, they occupy the advantage of the terrain, and in front of them, Yang Tianlei's gang of horse bandits no longer has the advantage of dealing with Matou just now. "Grenades, throw grenades to block them." A few grenades flew down the slope, and as the explosion sounded and the smoke rose, the horses on the avenue began to neigh and riot, and some horse bandits were carried by the horses under their crotches into the field by the roadside.
"Fuck, rush forward for me, rush over and it's safe, and take down Macheng to eat meat, drink wine and rob women." Under the strong pressure of Yang Tianlei, the horse bandits who had experienced the initial panic began to attack in the direction of the county seat. Although the patrol team on the slope occupies the advantage of the terrain, they lose in the small number of people, and the speed of the horses after running is also the key, after leaving more than a dozen corpses, Yang Tianlei took the remaining horse bandits to rush through the slope controlled by the patrol team and go straight to the county seat.
