Chapter 104: Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke
A mile outside the city, in the groves, the woods that had just experienced a shootout, perhaps the smoke had not yet dissipated, but at this moment a more massive and cruel war had begun.
Near the small city were two groups of men, the Nationalist Army and the Communist Army, both of whom were very few in number, and the two teams together did not add up to about a hundred people. They are also poorly equipped and are currently the lowest level guns on the battlefield.
The national army is better, the whole is relatively clean, and it should have just begun to join this shootout. And the communist army, the situation is not so optimistic, they are miserable. It's all painted on his body, and it's very embarrassing.
On the opposing side were Japanese troops, uniformly and well-trained, brand-new guns, also equipped with explosive packs, grenades. Not only that, but in terms of numbers, they have a strong advantage, and it seems that there are more than 600 people.
In this battle, there is a huge disparity in strength. If it weren't for the geographical advantage of the grove, it is estimated that the Kuomintang and Communist armies would have been wiped out long ago.
In the face of the enemy's strong firepower, the Kuomintang and Communist armies retreated one after another. Their firepower seemed so insignificant that they couldn't make a splash.
"Bastard, why did you mess with so many devils." A middle-aged national soldier couldn't help but curse at a communist soldier behind a tree next to him. It's too aggrieved, in the face of the dense firepower of the devils, he can only hide behind the tree now, let alone kill a few devils, but he doesn't even dare to head his head.
It is also sad that they are urging, and this is completely unjustified. They were passing by, but they came to take a look when they heard gunshots in the woods, but they didn't find anything. That's it, but when they were about to leave, they met these communist soldiers who were chased and killed by devils on the way. Before I could ask what was going on, it became what it is now.
The communist soldier next to him smiled helplessly, "We don't know, we just met." ”
Their situation is similar to that of these national armies, and they also met by chance. When the two armies saw each other, they were naturally very red-eyed, and they didn't care about 3721, so they did it directly. They were few in number, and they were losing and retreating, and they never thought that they would finally be able to meet a few national troops on their backs.
"Bastards, you ragtag army is not a good thing, you will cause trouble." The middle-aged national army said.
"I don't think it's the time to scold, think about how to break through."
"Surprise you ghost, you show Lao Tzu a head, see if the devil can shoot your head into a honeycomb." He didn't want to break through, but how could he break through in the face of so many devils.
The battle continued, and in the face of the devil's earth-shattering gunfire, the Kuomintang and Communist armies were particularly pitiful, not to mention the bombs, the gunfire was intermittent. The communist army is even more pitiful, there are not even many bullets left. If it weren't for the cover of darkness, the location of the woods and the Japanese army's own caution, they were afraid of an ambush, and these people would have died a long time ago.
Of course, this situation could not be maintained forever, and the devils began to approach the woods step by step, approaching the place where the two armies were fighting.
"The devil is near, we must break through." The communist side said.
"Damn, fight. How much firepower do you still have. “
"Three bombs, not many bullets."
"We still have four bombs, one on our side and then break through."
"Where?"
"Retreat, I want Lao Tzu to teach you."
"Okay."
A moment later, the earth-shattering sound of bombardment rang out. Several Japanese troops who were exploring the road were bombed into debris, which really shocked the Japanese army, and the firepower disappeared temporarily.
At this interval, the Kuomintang and Communist armies withdrew from the woods. On the way to retreat, from time to time a bomb was thrown. The explosion brought a sea of fire, blocking the advance of the Japanese army at once, giving them time to retreat.
"Dazuo, there's no one in the woods."
"It must have fled to that city, let's go."
The Kuomintang and the Communist armies came to the small city at great speed, and they broke into the city and closed the city gates. Of course, they knew that the Japanese army would catch turtles in the urn, but they had no way out.
The Japanese army soon arrived and appeared at the gates of the city. Their goal was this city, and meeting the communist army could only be described as an unexpected gain. They retreated here to make the leading devil happy, so that they didn't need to run one more place.
They have a mission, a monstrous mission, and they are going to slaughter the city. They weren't the only ones who took action tonight. They were to empty all the inhabitants within a radius of ten miles and take complete control of the area.
They discovered gold in the nearby mountains, a shocking discovery, a secret that must not be revealed. Therefore, the people nearby, they must control, and the best way to control is to kill them all, and the dead cannot reveal their secrets.
At the same time, they also need a labor force in the prime of life, and another purpose of slaughtering the city is to capture labor. They wanted to finish mining the gold as soon as possible, before the Kuomintang and the Communist armies found out.
The Japanese army is crazy, and if it is not crazy, it will not do the Nanjing Massacre. They had already prepared a strategy, there was no army here, there was no armed force, so they dared to send such a few people to slaughter the city.
There was an invisible black cloud in the sky over the town, which was the breath of death.
When the Japanese army appeared, Xiyue, Blue Bird, and White Fox all sensed it. The blue bird sensed more intensely than the white fox, it sensed boundless killing, endless blood.
The blue bird barked uneasily, and the white fox was also a little uneasy.
"Fairy, I feel uneasy and murderous, let's get out of here." The white fox was a little scared.
"I can't hide, and I don't want to hide." Xi Yue's words were a little cold. She already knows the cause and effect, and she will not let it go and watch this small city become a dead city and become a second Nanjing.
"What then?" The white fox said a little anxiously.
"What to do, of course, is to kill it." Xiyue said.
"Murder? It's not good. The white fox said cautiously, it was bent on cultivating and becoming an immortal, so one did good deeds and accumulated virtues, and never did anything to kill people.
"There's nothing bad about it, and killing people in the midst of a catastrophe is also a merit. Kill them, and you will save the people of a city, and it is a boundless merit. Xiyue said.
"But..." The white fox still didn't want to kill.
"There is no need to be entangled, cultivation is also the cultivation of the mind, you can do what you want, otherwise it will be a self-extinction immortal path." Xiyue said.
At this moment, a loud explosion sounded in the city.
Xi Yue didn't say anything more, and walked out of the room by herself.
The old lady and Li Su'e walked out with a few maids.
"What's the matter, is the devil here again?" The old lady said.
"This, this, this..." Li Su'e felt that it was her own fault, and she was a little speechless.
"You all go back to your room, don't come out, you'll be fine." Xiyue said.
"Xiyue, what the hell is going on." The old lady asked worriedly.
"It's okay, do as I say, I'll go out and have a look."
