Chapter 472

  Hong Biao and Li Bin left the forest, carrying heavy weapons. To avoid encountering devils, they dared not walk on the main road and could only make their way through the small paths.

  Along the way, when passing through a small village, the two bought a large cart and a mule, and changed out of their military uniforms into civilian clothes.

  Two men laid straw and burlap sacks on the big cart, hiding all the long guns under the straw, leaving only handguns on their bodies. Then, Hong Biao and Li Bin, disguised as ordinary people, continued to head in the direction of Fengtian.

  Arriving at the outskirts of Fengtian City, not a single shadow of the Northeast Army could be seen at the city gate. The guards at the gate had already been replaced by Japanese soldiers with live ammunition. On the city wall, there were also Japanese soldiers. Inside the city, the sound of resistance gunfire was no longer audible.

  At this sight, Hong Biao almost cried out: "I never thought that the foundation of my Northeastern Army, built up over several decades, would be completely destroyed like this!"

  At this time, Li Bin, who was familiar with history, suddenly remembered that Fengtian City had been completely occupied by the Japanese, and now it should have been after September 21. The only resistance force: Huang Xiansheng's resistance force had announced its failure, General Huang disguised himself to escape, Zang Shiyi defected to the enemy and became a despicable traitor.

  Li Bin was just a tank soldier, but he had received higher education and was a university student soldier. In high school, he especially loved history, and for the September 18th Incident before and after, he could be said to have been quite knowledgeable.

  "What should we do, brother?" Hong Biao asked.

  Li Bin thought for a moment and said: "Let's go find General Huang Xiansheng! He is a patriotic general, he should have a way."

  "But where are we going to find General Huang Xiansheng? The Northeast Army has already dispersed, and the sea of people is vast. Where can we find him?" Hong Biao asked in confusion.

  "Go to Jinzhou! General Huang will definitely be in Jinzhou!" Li Bin said decisively.

  "How did you know General Huang would be in Jinzhou?" Hong Biao asked with a puzzled expression. He secretly felt it strange that this person could have known General Huang was in Jinzhou. If he didn't possess the ability to predict the future, then it's possible he was a spy!

  Li Bin replied, "I'll tell you about these things later! But for now, the Japanese have probably blocked off the road to Jinzhou. We'll go around from the north of Fengtian and take a small path to Jinzhou to avoid being discovered by the Japanese."

  Hong Biao temporarily put his doubts at the bottom of his heart, he lowered his head and silently followed Li Bin, circling around from the north of Fengtian.

  Familiar with the geography, Li Bin led Hong Biao from the north, he wanted to go a bit further north to Tieling, then from there to the western Liaoning area which was temporarily out of Japanese control, and then head south from the mountains in western Liaoning to Jinzhou, thus avoiding the Japanese checkpoints and searches, and that heavy machine gun would definitely not escape the eyes of the Japanese.

  The two of them bypassed Fengtian City and temporarily headed north. After walking for about fifty miles, both of them felt tired and hungry. At this moment, Hong Biao suddenly shouted: "Look quickly, there is a small village ahead! Let's go in and buy some food from them."

  Hearing Hong Biao's shouting voice, Li Bin was overjoyed and drove the big cart towards the village.

  But as they got closer to the village, Li Bin and Hong Biao felt more and more that something was off: why did this village seem to have no people?

  Just then, the experienced Hong Biao suddenly smelled a pungent bloody smell, he shouted: "Not good!" After finishing, he jumped off the big truck and rushed towards the village in one step.

  Li Bin hastily whipped the mule and sped up towards the village. As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he was stunned by the bloody scene before his eyes: everywhere were the corpses of villagers, almost all young men had been stabbed to death with bayonets, their intestines spilled all over the ground. A small number of young men had been shot dead, apparently those who had tried to resist and were shot by the devils. In the extinguished fire pit, several charred bodies lay on the ground. A pregnant woman lay in a pool of blood, her belly cut open, intestines spilled all over the ground, the fetus impaled on a wooden stick. A five-year-old girl lay on the ground, her clothes completely torn apart, two legs covered with congealed blood, apparently raped to death. All female corpses were naked, some even had their breasts cut off, some had objects inserted into their lower bodies...

  Li Bin gazed out at the sea of corpses, his eyes blazing with anger. He took a step forward, trying to find someone still alive. Suddenly, he bumped into something and looked up to see a man's corpse hanging from a tree, its head severed. Looking around, he saw many more heads hanging from other trees. This scene, which he had only ever seen in movies before, was now starkly real in front of him.

  "I'll kill you, you little devils! I must wipe all of you out! If I have the chance to fight my way to Tokyo, I'll kill every last one of you!" Li Bin let out a furious roar from the bottom of his heart. After he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, with tears welling up in his eyes.

  Suddenly, Hong Biao pushed Li Bin: "Brother, hide quickly, someone is coming!" After that, Hong Biao took down the direction machine gun and 95-style short assault rifle from the big truck, then pulled Li Bin to climb up a rooftop.

  After several days of traveling, Hong Biao had already become very familiar with the performance of this machine gun. For convenience, he also made a shoulder strap for it and installed a bipod. He set up the machine gun on the rooftop, its dark muzzle aimed downwards, his sharp eyes watching every move below.

  To be honest, Hong Biao is a rare hero in the Northeast Army. Unfortunately, after the September 18th Incident, many hot-blooded heroes like him refused to obey the non-resistance order and became "deserters". They fought against the Japanese alone, resulting in not a few sacrifices. However, with Li Bin's arrival, he not only saved Hong Biao but also gained an excellent talent.

  At the entrance of the village, a black figure appeared, followed by a second one. The number of figures kept increasing until there were sixteen people in total, each wearing casual clothes and carrying guns on their backs.

  Li Bin found that their weapons were very poor, with thirteen people carrying the Liaodong-made Type 13 Mauser rifle, only one person carrying two Mauser box cannons, and two people carrying Russian-made water-cooled machine guns.

  "Could it be Ma Fei?" Li Bin asked in a low voice.

  "Let's see first," Hong Biao replied.

  In fact, those sixteen people were Wang Zihao and several others who had deserted from the Seventh Regiment. After patriotic general Zhao Zhenfang released them out of a sense of national justice, these sixteen good men disguised themselves as civilians and came to Fengtian.

  "Big brother, I don't know how Uncle and Auntie are doing, or Little Sister either." A soldier named Wu Congyu asked.

  "The Japanese have arrived, and they are what I worry about most." Prince Hao replied with a sentence, "Let's go in and take a look."

  It turned out that this village was Wang Zihao's hometown! His parents, his newlywed wife, and his young sister were all here.

  "No, I don't feel right about this," Wang Zihao made a gesture to the soldiers to ambush outside the village. "You wait here, I'll go take a look." After that, he drew out two Mauser pistols and crept into the village with his waist bent.

  Wu Congyu and others waiting quietly outside the village saw their squad leader walk into the village, suddenly they only heard the sound of the squad leader wailing loudly from inside the village.

  Everyone jumped up, holding guns and rushing into the village, but saw Wang Zihao kneeling in front of a female corpse, crying and wailing: "Mei Mei, my Mei Mei! Waaah... And my poor child!"

  That female corpse was the pregnant woman with her belly cut open that Hong Biao and Li Bin had seen.

  The remaining fifteen people, seeing the team leader crying uncontrollably, stood still on one side. Wang Zihao cried for half a day, then walked to an old man's corpse and hugged it in pain: "Dad! Dad! Ah!"

  Suddenly, Wang Zihao stopped crying, he clenched his fists, and only heard a burst of bone "cracking" sound: "Little devil! I fuck your grandma's little devil! If I don't kill you all, I'm Wang Zihao is a turtle egg! Ah——" The thunderous voice shook the sky.

  "Paichang, your sister doesn't know if she's still alive or not." a soldier said.

  At the words of the soldier, Wang Zihao suddenly remembered his sister and hastily said: "Let's go find her together!"

  Several people searched for half a day but couldn't find Wang Zihao's sister or her body.

  "Will she be taken away by the devils?" a soldier asked.

  "Bullshit! She's definitely fine!" Wang Zihao cursed loudly.

  Suddenly, Wang Zihao raised his gun and aimed at the rooftop: "The person on top, come down!"

  Li Bin knew he had been discovered, so he held the Type 95 SMG and jumped down from the rooftop. Hong Biao also slung his machine gun over his back and leaped off the rooftop.

  Two people suddenly jumped down from the rooftop, giving Wu Congyu and others a big fright.

  "Speak quickly! What kind of people are you?" Prince Hao's handgun was aimed at Hong Biao and Li Bin as he interrogated them.

  Hong Biao replied: "I am Lieutenant Hong Biao, a reconnaissance officer of the 7th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army! Are you also from the Northeast Army?"

  "I am Wang Zihao, the third squad leader of the second company of the third battalion of the 620th regiment of the seventh independent brigade of the Northeast Army! Looking at the weapons in your hands, they don't seem to be ours from the Northeast Army?"
