""       Chapter 96 Bloody Massacre

"Hungry! Mom..." Hearing the child's moan, the mother felt sad, and turned to discuss with her husband, "Children's father, look, what should I do?"

"What can I do?" The head of the family looked at his wife and children with his hands on his chest, and his abdomen was like thunder. He looked at his wife and children with a bitter face. "After moving, the Chinese people fired, let the children bear it again?"

There are more than one household in this situation, and almost everyone is facing the same problem. Finally, a child couldn't hold on and burst into tears, "Dad, I'm so hungry! Dad..."

As the father's eyes were filled with tears, he had to cruelly block the child's mouth and buried his cry in his throat. Even so, it was heard by the Chinese soldiers. He approached with a rifle and looked inside outside the picket, "Why are you crying? Don't cry!"

"May I ask..." A voice of inaccurate Chinese suddenly came from the crowd, which stunned the Qing soldiers on duty, as if they had heard it wrong, "Who is talking? Stand out!"

A man stood up from the crowd gathered by the people, and raised his hands without waiting for the order, as if he was worried that his movements would cause misunderstandings from the other party. His movements were very careful and slow, and he explained in a very inexperienced Chinese language, "My name is Tiaoshiman, well, he can speak Chinese."

The crowd was in a state of chaos, and the soldiers fired two shots, which scared everyone to the point where they hurriedly fell down. The one named Tiaoshiman also bent down, "What's going on?"

"Zheng Touer, there is a Japanese man who says he can speak Chinese."

The team led the team was calling Zheng Rongjiu, carrying a rifle and approaching, "Who can speak Chinese?...Is it you? Come out."

Takashiman nodded and agreed, raising his steps outward, and his compatriots were constantly discussing with him, "Can you find something for the children? It's okay if the adults don't eat, but the children can't stand it?"

"Shut up!" Zheng Rongjiu scolded and ordered someone to release Shiman, "You can speak Chinese?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Takashiman nodded and admitted, with a humble smile on his face, explaining that he is from Sanyuan City and is engaged in business, because there are often businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in China here to do business. After dating with these people for a long time, he also learned some Chinese.

"Well, okay." Zheng Rongjiuzheng felt that the translation was not enough. It was undoubtedly helpful to have a Japanese who could speak Chinese. "Since that's the case, you should take the position of management. Tell these Japanese that as long as they are honest, we will never hurt them."

"Yes, yes, yes." Takashi Man was overjoyed. In a blink of an eye, he became the leader of the Japanese? "Uh... Chinese adults, just now... the people were all saying... No, not, it was a request. Can you find some food for the children? The children were all hungry."

This problem was unexpected by Zheng Rongjiu. He looked down and saw the little Japanese baby with dirty faces, and his black eyes were begging for mercy to look at him. He couldn't help but feel soft, "Wait, I can't decide on this matter..." Zheng Rongjiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: What is the explanation for him to talk to him? He ordered people to go into the city and ask the two leaders for instructions.

A moment later, Cai Gengyang rode out of the city. Not far behind them were more Japanese people taken out of their homes, escorted by the Qing army and came here. "Zheng Rongjiu, what's going on?"

Zheng Rongjiu explained it and then said, "Sir, it's not good to not give food to you, right? If the people make trouble for this, they really can't afford to take on the role of humble positions."

Cai Gengyang smiled coldly and said to the man named Tiao Shiman, "Ask them, who are all hungry? Raise your hands."

It's no need to say that everyone was hungry. When Tiaoshiman asked, everyone raised their arms. Cai Gengyang's smile became even stronger, "Since they are all hungry, it's best. Open the fence and let them go back to the city to find food and come back here."

Zheng Rongjiu knew that it was not good. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world? He just let all these people go because of hunger? Looking at the expression on Cai Gengyang's face, he knew that he had a murderous intention. He was about to persuade him, but the people couldn't wait. Three or five hundred people rushed out and ran towards the city gate. It looked like that, he was really going home for dinner.

Without waiting for these people to run out ten steps, Cai Gengyang raised his hand and shot a commoner running at the back. Then he gave an order, "Shoot all!"

The sound of the light rifle hitting sounded like a bean. All the Japanese people who rushed out of the fence were shot to death before they could run fifty meters away. "See if there are any living people. If there are breathes, just shoot them up."

Cai Gengyang gave the order coldly, then pointed at Shiman with his hand, "Ask them, are there anyone else hungry?"

Tiaoshi's face was full of tears! He lowered his head, and he really wanted to rush forward and fight with this cruel middle-aged official to the death! Even if he was definitely defeated, it would be better than the dilemma of watching his compatriots be killed but he could not do anything! But after all, he didn't dare. Instead, he turned around and asked less than ten people to the three remaining families in the fence, "Mr. Chinese asked you, are you still hungry?"

"No, no, no, no...I'm hungry." These ten people didn't want to escape home, but there were old and young people among them. Before they could even set off, the shadow of the god of death fell on their compatriots. They were so scared that their legs were weak, let alone rushing out of the fence.

"Look? Wouldn't you be hungry?" Cai Gengyang said to Zheng Rongjiu, "I asked the Japanese to dig holes on the spot and bury them all. How smelly!"

Zheng Rongjiu was deeply dissatisfied with the chief’s actions. Why is this a problem? Do you have to kill someone to establish your authority? Moreover, even if you kill someone, can other living people no longer be hungry?

He gave Tiaoshiman a wink and signaled him to go over to convey the commander's military order. Cai Gengyang said again, "The rest of the people will order a woman from each family to return to the city to get food, and the deadline will be within one hour. As long as there is one out of date, all the Japanese will be shot to death!"

Cai Gengyang's extremely cruel method received unexpected results. All the Japanese women sent out to return to the city to get food returned within an hour. Fire even rose in the fence, and the fragrance of food began to float.

Having dealt with the problems of the Japanese people, Cai Gengyang rode his horse into the city, and Wang Yu was looking for him, "Old Cai?"

"How is it?" Cai Gengyang asked with his war horses in his hands.

"The military gate has an order to let our troops rush forward," Wang Yu said, "The two battalions of Lao Wang and Teng Ziyu have suffered heavy casualties. They have both retreated."

Cai Gengyang spat lightly, "It's really a waste. At the critical moment, it depends on us."

"You little silly," Wang Yu said to him with his face raised. "The military gate has sent Jin Dengtai and Zhang Dundao's troops up. We are the third wave."

"Okay, I know." Cai Gengyang interrupted Wang Yu's words and jumped off his horse, "Get together and prepare to set off."

The soldiers of the two battalions quickly assembled. Cai Gengyang and Wang Yu led their troops through the main road in the city and reached the battle area before they stopped. This time, the Qing army's attack direction was on the Dongchuan River in Sanyuan City. The Japanese army guarded the river on the west bank. The bridges on the river had been blown up in advance by the Japanese army. The only one was the only remaining passage connecting the east and west banks. An unknown Japanese soldiers were stationed on the bridge to block the enemy's advance with artillery fire and guns.

This is not to be said, everything must be solved by force. Cai Gengyang lay in front of his position and looked at the other side of the river. The river surface was very wide, about 300 meters long. The building of this stone bridge did not lead straight to the other side, but drew an arc, which may be the masterpiece during the construction. At the moment of combat, this arc-shaped bridge deck became an obstacle for the Qing army - bullets cannot turn, and they always have to go to the medium part of the bridge to kill and injure the enemy within the effective range. Judging from the situation on the scene, the Qing army was indeed carrying out such tactics, and the corpses of Qing soldiers were lying close to the end of the vision.

Cai Gengyang looked under the bridge and saw that the water flow was quite fast. It seemed that it was impossible to swim. On the embankment position on the other side, the smoke of gunpowder and burning garbage evaporated huge smoke columns. They were still far away from the river, and even the stinking smell of the corpse could be smelled.

Wang Yu and Jin Dengtai discussed a few words. The troops of these two people launched an attack before their battalions. Jin Dengtai said that the Japanese army had very fierce firepower and extremely high shooting accuracy. What's even more annoying is that there were not many soldiers who shot them, and a larger part of them were injured. Often one person was injured. Others went to rescue them, and then they were rescued, and they were all put down on the bridge deck. Many brothers died because of the inadequate treatment, which had a great impact on morale.

"I think, the little Japanese is intentional, just to attack the morale and morale of our army. After all, the Green Camp soldiers must not abandon one robe. It is the iron law of the army. Brothers see others injured, but they cannot save them..." Jin Dengtai smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing repeatedly, "If it were you, what would you think?"

"This is a trouble," said Wang Yu, "I'll take someone up and have a look."

"Be careful."

Wang Yu turned around and waved, leading a dozen brothers to move towards the bridge deck. It was fine if he was moving forward in a straight line. When he reached the turn of the bridge, enemy bullets immediately shot, hitting the bridge, splashing countless sparks, and even hitting stone chips. Wang Yu accidentally scratched his cheek for the splashed fragments, which made him angry, who claimed to be handsome, and now he had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

"How is it?" Cai Gengyang asked, "Are you seriously injured?"

"I'm fine." Wang Yu tried hard to erase the stone pieces still stuck on his face and smiled, "The bridge deck is very wide, and the enemy's garrison is also very tight. But I think there is still a way to solve them."

“How to say it?”

"Use heavy machine gun!" Wang Yu said loudly, "If you put the gun in a good frame and push it forward, you won't believe that the enemy at the end of the bridge will not be able to be solved. As long as there is an army that can rush over, the problem will not be big."

"You have a way." Cai Gengyang smiled, and only heard Zhang Dundao say, "You have to be careful. Although heavy machine guns can work, I am afraid that the Japanese army will make a decision when they see the situation is unfavorable."

"Hmm?" The sentence attracted everyone's attention, "What does this mean?"

"If I were Japanese, I would just bury the ** under the bridge first. It would be fine if the bridge could be kept. If the situation was not good, even the people would blow up the sky. See if you could swim across the shore?"

Zhang Dundao's opinion immediately reminded Cai Gengyang, "Yes, what Lao Zhang said is, I think, don't be busy with attacking, send brothers with good water to the river first, and try to check from beginning to end. If not, it is naturally good; if there is, remove all the **."

Zhang Dundao made this suggestion and personally led people to go down the river bank to the east bank. The place where they went into the water was in the upper reaches of the river. The Japanese army immediately discovered their actions at the observation post on the other side. After a shout, guns and cannons shot towards the Qing army in the river. There was no ambiguity here, and the cannons were fired rumbled, and both sides killed them into a group.

Thirty warriors with good water nature swam along the river. The water flow was quite fierce, and rushed downstream. Zhang Dundao paddled hard and rushed to the front of the queue. A thick hemp rope was tied around the waist. Seeing that the bridge pier was not far away, he moved faster and swam to the other side of the bridge pier. He was about to walk around the bridge pier with his body as the center, but unexpectedly, a hurrying call came from behind, "Sir, there are enemies on it."

Zhang Dundao took his busy schedule to look up. Sure enough, at the junction of the bridge piers and bridges, a Japanese army was aiming at him. He didn't care about what was next to him, took a deep breath and sank into the water. But even so, he was still one step late. The bullet passed through the river and hit his shoulders. Blood gushed out of the river, dyeing the surrounding water red.

Fortunately, a soldier stabbed into the water, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to the shore, which saved Zhang Dundao's life. Everyone swam back to the shore in a mess, and with the help of other brothers, they climbed up the embankment. "How about Lao Zhang? Doesn't it matter?"

"I'm fine." Zhang Dundao covered the wound on his shoulder with his hands, grinning in pain, and said in a hurry.

"Help you lord down and rest first." Cai Gengyang ordered, turned to Wang Yu and asked, "Look, how do you fight next?"

"If you can't swim, you can only attack hard." Wang Yu leaned his head to look at the river. The water flow was still turbulent. "Just as you said just now, use heavy machine guns as a cover to nibble and advance little by little."

“What…promote?”

Wang Yu burst out laughing, "It's nothing, prepare for the battle!"

More than ten minutes later, Zheng Rongjiu led twelve soldiers to push the cannon trucks that had set up heavy machine guns and slowly advanced forward from the bridge. The Japanese army immediately noticed the Qing army's movements, and the bursting sound of the light rifle sounded instantly, but this time it was not that cheap. The bullet hit the steel baffle and made a crisp sound of "dingding ding" but could not hurt the enemy soldiers hiding behind it at all.

Although it was impossible to hurt people, the bullet hit the steel plate violently, which really had a big impact on the psychology of the soldiers behind it. "Big...man..., can this... this thing block it?"

Zheng Rongjiu also felt sweat falling from his forehead, waved to the brothers beside him, stopped moving forward temporarily, touched the steel plate with his hands, and immediately laughed, "It's okay, nothing is wrong! Brothers, let's rush!"

Four heavy machine guns and cannon vehicles gradually approached the Japanese position. The other party saw that the rifle was ineffective. After the initial panic, they quickly found a solution and fired at the Qing army with artillery and fire grenades. The Qing army was not vague. Seeing that the distance between each other was closer and no longer advanced, each three people were responsible for a heavy machine gun and began to shoot violently at the Japanese army hidden after the bridgehead fortification on the other side; "Everything is all."

Amid the fierce gunfire, Zheng Rongjiu looked back and saw that the brothers in the team had already followed behind the cannon truck. The cannon truck fired and continued to push forward, while the light infantry followed closely, getting closer and closer to the end of the bridge. Suddenly, Zheng Rongjiu felt a shaking under him, knowing that it was not good, "The enemy is going to blow up the bridge, brothers, rush over!" After shouting, he was the first to stand up from behind the cannon truck, picked up his rifle and fired, leading the soldiers to rush towards the enemy's fortifications at the bridge that was close to the foot of the bridge.

The rumbling sound behind him became more and more violent. Wang Yu and others could see clearly from behind. The bridge body shook violently. The stones on the bridge deck were stirring up the huge explosion power and fell into the river below, splashing large splashes of water. The dust flying from the explosion soared into the sky, blocking everyone's sight. After finally waiting for the dust to fall, the Qing soldiers sent a deafening cheer!

I don’t know if it was the Japanese’s engineering technology, or the number of landfills was insufficient, or the power of the ** is estimated incorrectly. After the violent explosion, the bridge was not broken, but several huge holes were blown up at different locations on the bridge, which would not affect the passage of Chinese soldiers at all. "Run!"

Cai Gengyang roared at the right time, leading his battalion and Wang Yu's troops to the bridge immediately and bypassed the turn of the bridge. The battle was going on. Zheng Rongjiu pressed two Japanese soldiers under him. One of them freed up his hand, pulled out the battle knife, raised his hands, and was piercing through his chest!

Zheng Rongjiu cried out with great force, holding the sword with both hands, but the sharp blade made his fingers cut off instantly as if they were hot cream!

The Japanese soldier holding the knife in both hands used his wrists and stirred his wrists hard, and pulled them down with the momentum. Zheng Rongjiu was opened by the other party! The colorful internal organs surged out of the wound. The young man who joined the army from Suining, Sichuan struggled a few times and let out his last breath. The body fell softly on the hemp bun full of sand.

"Xiao Zheng?" Cai Gengyang's eyes turned red when he saw his brother being killed. He took a few quick steps regardless of everything. A fish jumped over the fortification. He raised his hand and punched the Japanese soldier who was dealing with Zheng Rongjiu with a friendly army holding a sword. The latter had a long nose bleeding and squatted down with his face. Another swung his sword to approach and acted to chop. A soldier behind Cai Gengyang raised his hand and hit his wrist. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

The soldiers following behind were about to take action, but Cai Gengyang stopped them, "Please leave these two bastards first, and find a way to deal with them when they come back and avenge Xiao Zheng!"
