Chapter Forty-Seven: Leaving Tang County

"Poof" Maeda Yeve fell on his back surrounded by those Imperial Alliance soldiers, half of his arm has been cut off by a large-caliber bullet, looking at the amount of bleeding at the wound, even if these Imperial Allied Army soldiers bandage Maeda Yeve in time, the chance of Maeda Yeve surviving with blood will not be too great. Maeda Yeve was shot and fell, and the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army beside him also fell into bad luck, and they were directly doused with blood splattered from Maeda Yve's wound.

"Retreat, brethren, retreat." The platoon leader of the Imperial Association Army, who led the team to rush out, was shocked, and shouted loudly while pulling his neck while reaching out and pulling the two men who were already vomiting back. said that it was too late, and before the platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army pulled his soldiers out a few meters, everyone heard a muffled sound of "bang" again, and then looked at the platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army, who had fallen on his back in a pool of blood, and his two legs had disappeared from the waist down.

The remaining soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army were already trembling with horror, and there was another muffled sound of "bang", and when they turned around, they saw that the machine gun bunker at the checkpoint dozens of meters away had already flown into the air, and a large cloud of blood mist flew up. "Put down the gun, I can spare your death." A voice full of anger suddenly sounded in the field under the official road, and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, who had already been terrified on the official road, did not say a word, and directly raised their rifles and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Lu Yuan, who was lying in the field, slowly got up and stood up, first put the heavy sniper rifle and iron horn into the storage space, and then walked up the official road with a Thomson submachine gun. He suddenly found that Lu Yuan, who attacked his people, was just a teenager who looked at him, and there were already people in these imperial alliance armies who wanted to take risks, but Lu Yuan didn't give them this opportunity at all. The Thomson submachine gun in Lu Yuan's hand was suddenly fired, and the sudden burst of gunfire shot out in a straight line, directly knocking down three of these Imperial Allied troops with their hands raised.

"Uncle spares my life, we surrendered, really surrendered." The remaining two soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were alive were shocked when they saw this, and kowtowed directly to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan, who was slowly moving forward, secretly slanted the corners of his mouth, but the submachine gun in his hand did not leave the two Imperial Alliance soldiers in front of him, "Go to one person, tell the people at the checkpoint to come out and surrender too, otherwise I will kill all of you here." Lu Yuan gestured at the two Imperial Alliance soldiers with the submachine gun in his hand, the latter two glanced at each other, and the older of the Imperial Alliance soldiers gritted his teeth and stood up, turned around and walked quickly towards the checkpoint.

Lu Yuan went alone to pursue the rout of the Japanese army who fled from the stronghold, Cheng Liang said that he was not worried that it was a lie, but he could also see that Lu Yuan was deliberately wary of himself and others. So he endured the curiosity in his heart and didn't send someone to follow Lu Yuan secretly, but when he saw Lu Yuan again, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. When Cheng Liang saw Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was sitting comfortably on a rickshaw, and beside Lu Yuan, there was not only the big black gun, but also a bunch of weapons and ammunition, including a light machine gun and two grenadiers.

said that Lu Yuan was sitting in a rickshaw, that was because Lu Yuan's carriage did not use a mule-drawn carriage, but at the moment it was 8 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who pulled the cart, and the horse that was supposed to be pulled was tied to the back of the carriage by Lu Yuan. "Company Commander Cheng, are you still satisfied with this gift I gave you to the Eighth Route Army?" With Cheng Liang and them meeting again, Lu Yuan, who jumped out of the carriage, did not say much, leaving prisoners and weapons and ammunition, Lu Yuan just jumped on the horse with his heavy sniper rifle and soon disappeared at the foot of the mountain.

With his own strength, he wiped out the stronghold set up by the Japanese army in Erdaoling, and by the way, he also pulled out a checkpoint of the Imperial Allied Army, and even killed and wounded, the Japanese puppet army suffered at least more than 200 casualties under Lu Yuan's hands. With such fierce combat effectiveness, Lu Yuan can be regarded as really teaching Cheng Liang a good lesson, and with the trophies sent by Lu Yuanbai, it is enough for the Eighth Route Army of Tang County to expand the strength of two more companies.

"What? You said Lu Yuan had already left Tang County? How is this possible? We didn't meet him when we came back. "With a large number of booties and those prisoners of the Imperial Army, Cheng Liang and the others returned to the station triumphantly, but what Cheng Liang didn't expect was that Lu Yuan, who left Erdaoling earlier than them, had already left Tang County." Lao Xie, why don't you keep him, let me tell you, that kid is not a simple one, as long as he can join us, our group may be able to expand one more group before the end of the year. ”

Cheng Liang's complaint made Xie Shen laugh, "Company Commander Cheng, although I don't know why Lu Yuan has to leave Tang County in a hurry, I can tell you for sure that he will never join our Eighth Route Army, because he is a person who does not like to be restrained." Do you know what you don't like to be constrained? That is, people like him will not be willing to act under the command of others. Besides, Lu Yuan is not our person in the first place, what reason do I have to forcibly keep him in Tang County? ”

Xie Shen was actually holding back the fire in his stomach at the moment, and said in his heart that if he didn't have to test Lu Yuan, how could Lu Yuan, who was so good at talking, choose to leave Tang County suddenly? Xie Shen's rebuttal made Cheng Liang speechless, after all, what Xie Shen said was reasonable, and Cheng Liang couldn't find a loophole in his favor for a while. Fortunately, Cheng Liang's superiors did not regard Lu Yuan's departure as an important matter, and the Eighth Route Army of Tang County immediately fell into a craze for dividing those weapons and ammunition, and soon no one cared about Lu Yuan's departure.

Under the scorching sun, the two mules and horses were slowly following the official road from Tang County to Baoding, led by a young man riding a pure black high-headed horse, followed by a variegated mule behind him but riding a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. After walking for a while in the sun, trees and fields finally appeared on the side of the official road, but there were also many places where there were no trees, and the sun was exposed to it, and it seemed that the ground was emitting white smoke, which instantly made people sweat, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. When he came to a shade of a forest again, the little boy on the mule's back exhaled and said weakly: "Brother, it's too hot, let's rest here." ”

The young man on horseback nodded and then grabbed the big black horse, but the young man on the mule seemed to be unable to bear it, so he reached out and took out the kettle from the gown, and poured water directly on his face, making his face covered with water stains, and muttered while pouring water: "Damn, it's really hot." It's just that there wasn't much water in his kettle in the first place, but the head and face of the bar were poured through, and there was no longer a drop of water left in the kettle.

The young man jumped off his horse, took the kettle out of the coat, strode up to the mule, reached out and took the boy down, and then stuffed his own kettle to the other. "If you're thirsty, drink some water and rest here." After the boy had taken a few sips of water, the young man took out a cloth hat from his saddle bag and fastened it on the boy's head. After a short rest in the shade of the tree, the two of them set out on the road again, and with the cloth hat on their heads, the little boy on the mule's back did not seem to realize how hot the weather was.

Lu Yuan's body fluctuated rhythmically with the forward movement of the big black horse, it had been a day since he left Tang County, if it wasn't for the fact that he had something to delay yesterday, he would have rushed to Baoding badly. The young man on the back of the mule behind him is called Wang Hu, who originally lived in Wang Village, which is more than 40 miles away from Tang County, but he did not expect that a group of bandits who came out of nowhere washed Wang Village in blood, but Wang Hu, who was only eleven years old, was the only surviving survivor of the entire Wang Village.

Lu Yuan, who happened to pass by Wang Village, saw this and rescued Wang Hu, and Wang Hu, who was young at a young age, was also very eye-catching, so he begged for nothing to rely on Lu Yuan, and in desperation, Lu Yuan had to agree to take me Wang Hu back to Tianjin together. Walking forward more than ten miles along the official road, Lu Yuan and the two were sweating again, and after turning a corner, a large area of green shade appeared between the willow and locust trees in front of them, and a coolness immediately greeted them.

"Brother, I'm hungry." The chill on the face not only made the irritability in Lu Yuan's hearts disperse, but also reminded Wang Hu of hunger, when the two of them left Wang Village in the morning, each of them only gnawed two sweet potatoes, Wang Hu is really hungry now. Lu Yuan and the two of them had a lot of things in their saddlebags, but they didn't eat, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, he just grinned at Wang Hu and smiled, "Huzi, don't worry, someone will bring us food soon." Lu Yuan's words made Wang Hu on the mule's back subconsciously look left and right, but this place is not yet a suburb of the city, although there are fields around, he can't see people in the fields, he can't think of the reason why Lu Yuan is so firm.

But soon, Wang Hu found the answer by himself, and after walking a few miles along the official road, under the shade of a tree, a checkpoint of the Japanese puppet army appeared in the front of the pipeline, and several mule and horse carts were being stopped by several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army for inspection. "Huzi, look at my eyes for a while, and when you see me lighting a cigarette, you go to the forest on the side, remember?" After explaining Wang Hu's words, Lu Yuan rode his horse and moved towards the checkpoint.

As soon as Lu Yuan and the others appeared, they attracted the attention of those Imperial Association soldiers at the checkpoint, but seeing that Lu Yuan's age was not very large, and he was also bringing a child as young as Wang Hu, these Imperial Association soldiers immediately relaxed their vigilance. These soldiers of the Imperial Association Army can check these mules and horses carts on a big day, just to extort a few money for an excuse, Lu Yuan obviously has no oil and water, unless he can get rid of the mules and horses under their crotches.
