Six, Quick Hand Washing Jade
He looked around and imagined the courtyard walls of that year, shaking his head and saying: "It seems to be the drive of the gods, making me unstoppable for a moment."
I rushed here, and later I tried again, but I never ran out of that day's speed.
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Brother Biao is afraid that Xiao Bao will get into trouble."
Zhan Biao clenched his fist and said: "Xiaoyu, you should have some conscience! I treat you and Xiaobao as one, you two are originally sisters!"
Da Yu supported Zhang Biao's shoulder and said: "Biao Ge, don't listen to Xiao Yu's nonsense. I know her temper, if you were one step late, she would definitely not die at the hands of the devils but would have taken her own life."
At this time, a hurried footsteps came from behind several people, and the words arrived before the person: "If Uncle Biao had come one step later that day, there would be no today for our father and son." Then it was a long sigh: "Uncle Biao, I thought you were dead!" Along with the sound of the words, a sixty-year-old old man rushed into Zhang Biao's arms, and a sturdy cadre smiled humbly behind him.
Dai Guolao took the young cadre and stood with Zhan Dongdong and Yingzi: "You are of the same generation, he is my grandson, and he is the county magistrate here." County Magistrate Dai warmly shook hands with Zhan Dongdong and Yingzi.
As soon as Zhang Biao heard the cries of Xiao Bao and Xiao Yu, he reacted instantly - with a quick and coherent reaction! He made use of his flowing and confusing combination movements. He gestured to Qiangzi to crouch down on the ground, and then stepped onto Qiangzi's shoulders and jumped over the wall. As soon as he saw the situation in the courtyard, Zhang Biao's blood rushed to his head. Two Japanese soldiers were trying to drag Xiao Bao, who was hugging a tree, into the house, while the sound of Xiao Yu's crying came from inside. It seemed that Xiao Bao had held on for a while, refusing to let go of the tree. Next to the tree was a small pile of burning sticks and clothes. The two Japanese soldiers, who had thrown down their guns and were pulling Xiao Bao, were startled when they suddenly saw a National Army soldier appear on the wall, but Zhang Biao's dazzlingly fast movements didn't give them time to react.
Zhan Biao's first action was to lower the Czech machine gun in his hand and let Qiangzi grab it, pulling Qiangzi up the wall. Zhan Biao's second action was to flip over and jump into the courtyard, where two Japanese soldiers were stunned by Qiangzi, who was wearing a Japanese military uniform. Xiaobao had been scolding the Japanese soldiers when he suddenly saw Zhan Biao appear and burst out crying. Zhan Biao continued with his third action, striking one of the Japanese soldiers' temples with the butt of his gun. His fourth action was to use the barrel of his light machine gun to deliver a swift thrust, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, into the chest of another Japanese soldier. That soldier let out a long wail, almost in sync with Xiaobao's cry, before being shaken off by Zhan Biao.
The long scream of the Japanese soldier startled the Japanese soldiers in the front yard, and shouts and footsteps echoed. But Zhang Biao's movements did not stop, his fifth movement pointed to Qiangzi towards the front yard, and his sixth movement rushed into the house. Qiangzi immediately held the machine gun at the moon gate between the second and third courtyards, and with a swift kick, he brutally kicked the heads of two Japanese soldiers on the ground like kicking a watermelon.
After Zhang Biao rushed into the house, he scanned the situation at a glance, which made him furious. Xiaoyu had been pressed to the edge of the kang by four Japanese soldiers, stripped naked, one soldier riding on Xiaoyu's head, holding her two hands, the other two soldiers holding up her legs, and another soldier had already taken off his pants standing between Xiaoyu's legs, but Xiaoyu was still struggling desperately, twisting her body, never letting the Japanese soldiers succeed.
Zhang Biao let out a loud shout, but instead of the usual "Halt!", he yelled "Die!" The word "die" was followed by an "ah", which sounded like "kill". The four Japanese soldiers looked up at the sound, and before they could see who it was, they were met with a burst of short, sharp Czech machine gun fire. The four Japanese soldiers sprayed blood and brains everywhere as they fell one after another onto Xiaoyu's naked body. Right behind them, Xiaobao rushed in, covering his mouth in shock and standing frozen at the door.
Xiao Yu heard Zhang Biao's loud shout and the gunshot, turned her head to see Zhang Biao and Xiao Bao, and suddenly felt relieved, then fainted.
This group of Japanese troops was a garrison 10 kilometers south of the village in the county seat, with the number of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, the 15th Division, and the 25th Regiment. As the anti-Japanese struggle in the enemy's rear developed rapidly, the Japanese also increased their suppression and plundering of the occupied areas. This time, a small team of Japanese troops came to Kao Mountain Town to collect grain and meat, and Yuan Bo was naturally appointed as the village head by the Japanese military police to maintain order. In order to seek the interests and safety of all the villagers, Yuan Bo had no choice but to compromise and respond.
Because the village of Yangshan had not met the Japanese army's demands several times, this time the Japanese army wanted to punish them slightly, gathering all the villagers together to kill a few people. Xiaobao and Xiaoyu hid in the warehouse of the third courtyard because they were familiar with the situation at home. Hearing the Japanese army getting more and more outrageous, Xiaobao and Xiaoyu lit firecrackers in the yard to ask for help from Zhang Biao, but unexpectedly, as soon as the smoke rose, five or six Japanese soldiers discovered them and took them out of the warehouse. Seeing two beautiful girls, the Japanese army's beastly nature was aroused, four Japanese soldiers pushed Xiaoyu into the house, and two Japanese soldiers dealt with Xiaobao. It seemed that Xiaobao and Xiaoyu were doomed to be unlucky.
But unexpectedly, Xiaobao and Xiaoyu were blessed with divine protection. Firstly, it was Xiaoyu's spiritual connection with Sī Dé that allowed him to discover the fire at the same time as Xiaoyu lit it. Then, it was Zhān Biāo's instinctive reaction that led him to use his hidden motorcycle to rush to the critical location at top speed. From the moment Xiaobao and Xiaoyu set the fire to when Zhān Biāo appeared, less than ten minutes had passed. If they were even a little late, Xiaoyu would have been ruined. Xiaoyu had once told Xiaobao that if she was unfortunately defiled by the beastly soldiers in this chaotic war, she would not hesitate to take her own life.
The Japanese squad leader in the front yard was listening to a report from a soldier who had been stationed at the village entrance, saying that when a motorcycle turned around to the back of the village, he heard the desperate and dying screams of the Japanese soldiers in the third courtyard, followed by the short bursts of machine gun fire. The squad leader's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the rapid development of this situation left him almost no time to think.
The Japanese army squad had three platoons of 13 men each and a grenade launcher platoon equipped with three launchers, totaling 54 people. The leader of the Japanese army squad was clearly a graduate of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy, reacting extremely quickly to unexpected situations. He drew his command sword and swiftly ordered two platoons to take machine guns out of the gate and circle around the left and right sides of the courtyard, while he led one platoon down the middle road towards the rear courtyard, leaving only the grenade launcher platoon without long-range weapons to guard the villagers in the courtyard.
Zhan Biao killed four Japanese soldiers and knew the gunshot would attract more enemies, so he rushed forward to rescue Xiao Yu. He kicked away the four dead bodies on top of Xiao Yu and stopped when he saw her unconscious. Xiao Yu was covered in blood and had tofu brains splattered on her chest, making it difficult for Zhan Biao to touch her. Xiaobao ran over but stood there helplessly. Zhan Biao looked around and saw a water vat nearby, so he jumped over and scooped up a ladle of water to pour on Xiao Yu's body. He continued pouring several more ladles and then handed the ladle to Xiaobao to continue. He picked up a chicken feather duster from beside the kang and used it to gently brush away the blood and debris from Xiao Yu's body.
The machine gun in the courtyard fired, and four or five Japanese soldiers who rushed into the courtyard fell one after another. Hearing the gunfire outside, Zhang Biao didn't have the mood to feel that this was his first time seeing a woman's body. In the chaotic washing, Xiaoyu was also splashed awake by water, she weakly looked at Zhang Biao washing her whole body, with big tears dropping from the corners of her eyes. Zhang Biao took a look and said to Xiaobao: "Quickly put clothes on Xiaoyu, hide under the bed first and don't move." Then he picked up his machine gun and rushed out.
Zhan Biao saw Qiangzi blocking the Japanese army that was rushing in from the second courtyard, so he stepped on the ladder at the corner of the house and sprinted up to the rooftop. As soon as he reached the top, he ran back and forth along the wall, pouring rain-like bullets towards the Japanese soldiers who were approaching from both sides outside the wall. However, the Japanese army was also very stubborn. Although they lost nearly half of their troops in an instant, the Japanese squad leader had figured out that Zhan Biao only had two people and two machine guns. He calmly surrounded the house step by step. But he didn't know that he had made a fatal mistake - he stopped his subordinates from throwing hand grenades into the courtyard, foolishly thinking that he could capture the two anti-Japanese soldiers inside alive. Otherwise, if they had thrown in over ten hand grenades, Zhan Biao and Qiangzi, as well as Xiaobao and Xiyu who were inside the house, would have been killed or injured, and his squad would not have suffered a complete defeat.
Zhan Biao was deploying the battle in front of the Japanese army. He saw Xiaofeng and three others arriving on the rooftop, just across the street, and hastily used a coded language, a temporary code - referring to their hometown master's house - shouted loudly: "Xiaofeng, you come from the jujube tree side! Liu Yang, you come from the stone lock side! Zhengwen, the cowshed side is left to you! The arena is left to Qiangzi - we'll open the inside and outside to wrap the dumplings!"
Xiao Feng and the others naturally knew that the master's house had a jujube tree in the garden to the north, a stone lock on the east side where he practiced his skills every morning, a cowshed to the west, and the martial arts arena was to the south. Zhang Biao was arranging an ambush on all four sides - east, south, west, and north. The traitorous interpreter was busy translating for the Japanese squad leader, but they couldn't find any jujube trees or cowsheds.
In an instant, Xiaofeng and the other two had arrived at their positions. Zhang Biao shouted loudly: "Take action, kill them all without leaving a single one!" He knew in his heart that although the four devils who bullied Xiaoyu were all beaten to death, Xiaoyu's temper would definitely make this group of devils see King Yan all together.
More than 30 devils couldn't withstand the angry and accurate flames of the five machine guns outside, and those who were arrogant and powerful became mere decorations. In an instant, the Japanese soldiers surrounding the house, including that furious little captain, were all knocked down. The dozen or so devils in the small square guarding the villagers were also drowned out by the angry crowd that had risen up, and most of these Japanese soldiers with handguns only managed to fire one shot before their souls returned to their island home. Nine villagers were injured, but only four were wounded by the devils' guns, while the others were trampled by their own people.
Yuan Bo looked at the annihilated Japanese squad of 54 devils, feeling both happy and worried, with even greater pressure. He repeatedly instructed the villagers to keep a collective silence, once the news got out, the whole village would be left without a single chicken or dog, and it would be difficult for them to survive. At the same time, the whole village worked together to eliminate the traces of battle in the village. Xiaobao used the captured Japanese emergency medical kit to bandage the wounds of the injured villagers, and Yuan Bo arranged for them to go to their relatives' homes outside the village to recover from their injuries tomorrow.
This side quickly let the village set up ten horse-drawn carriages, loaded with the bodies and weapons of the Japanese army, first transported to the foot of the mountain to unload the weapons, then threw the bodies of the Japanese soldiers into a small river twenty miles away, and on the opposite bank threw down a pile of machine gun shells.
That night, Secretary Gui and Captain Shan rushed over to complain to Yuan Bo that he didn't leave the small team's weapons and equipment behind. There were three 96-style light machine guns, three grenade launchers, 33 Type 38 rifles, 21 handguns! And so many hand grenades, bullets, and equipment!
Of course, no one knew that Xiaoyu was stripped of her clothes by the Japanese soldiers. Xiao Bao only told his father, Yuan Bo, that Zhanbiao had saved them in their most difficult time: "Dad, my and Xiaoyu's lives were given to us by Squad Leader Zhan..."
When sending off Zhan Biao to return to the mountain, Xiao Yu, who had been leaning on Xiao Bao's body with a red face, opened her small mouth and said a sentence that shocked Zhan Biao and Xiao Bao extremely: "Brother Biao, when are you coming to marry me?"
