Chapter 276 Something went wrong
Seeing that it was getting late, He Yi and his companions quickly moved all their things out and hid them.
He found a secluded place to hide and prepare to ambush the enemy.
Zuo Zixuan was waiting anxiously in the village. They had been asked to return to the village before dark, but now it was already dark and no one had returned yet.
From the scene she had seen earlier, she was really worried that something might happen to He Yi and the others.
She wanted to find someone, but she was blind, and Xu Qingfeng and the others would not let her take any risks.
"Xuanxuan, don't worry. Since He Yi and the others already know what will happen in advance, they will definitely be prepared.
At present, what we should do is to protect ourselves and not hold them back."
Bai Zongde persuaded from the side.
"Yes, Master, nothing will happen to Master-in-law.
Let’s quickly follow the villagers to take refuge in the ancestral hall…”
Everyone took turns persuading Zuo Zixuan to go to the ancestral hall together.
Zuo Zixuan also knew that if she didn't leave, she would be wasting everyone's time.
So there was no need to waste time and she let Xu Qingfeng carry her on his back and went to the ancestral hall with the villagers.
They had only been hiding inside for less than a quarter of an hour when the Japanese arrived in the village.
Just as Zuo Zixuan had seen, the Japanese invaders kicked down the doors of every household and searched inside.
Xu Qingfeng and Fang Hanyang, who were hiding outside to investigate military intelligence, saw the Japanese entering the village and quickly sneaked back to the ancestral hall.
"The devil is coming..."
"I didn't hear any movement from the back hill. Is it over there?"
When Zuo Zixuan heard what Xu Qingfeng and Fang Hanyang said, she felt terrible. It was as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She sat limply on the ground.
Could it be that something unexpected had happened to He Yi and the others?
Bai Zongde was just about to say a few words of comfort when he suddenly heard a gunshot from the back mountain, and then there was no movement.
Xu Qingfeng quickly approached the doors and windows of the ancestral hall to check the situation outside.
“All the Japanese soldiers who entered the village ran towards the back mountain.
Could it be..."
"Did they split their forces into two groups?"
Before Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, Fang Hanyang quickly took over.
Zuo Zixuan sat up straight abruptly. This seemed to be a little different from what she saw.
Her heart was pounding so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest. She was so nervous that she clenched her fists and her nails dug deep into her flesh.
About a quarter of an hour later, a burst of gunfire was heard very close to the village.
This was clearly the sound of gunfire from a battle.
After hearing the gunshot, not only Zuo Zixuan, but even Bai Zongde couldn't sit still.
He asked Xu Qingfeng and Fang Hanyang to look after the children and villagers, and he took He Fan and his wife and ran towards the back mountain.
Before leaving, worried that someone might get hurt, Zuo Zixuan gave Ning Rong a large bag of medicine.
Bo Zongde and his men had not been running for more than a few minutes when they heard the gunfire stop. After running for another ten minutes, they saw several people hiding under the earthen ridge at the uphill part.
It is obvious that this group of people are the ones who ran from the village to the mountains.
Bai Zongde and He Fan also found a place to hide.
"Brother-in-law, how good is your shooting skill? Can you kill those six people?"
Bo Zongde shook his head very straightforwardly, "Can't be killed?"
"That's six people. There are nine bullets in the gun that my second brother gave you."
"I'm a civilian officer. If I can hit two people with five bullets, that means I'm a very accurate shooter."
"Then what should we do?" He Fan said anxiously.
If Bo Zongde could hit one or two of the targets with five bullets, he would be considered an accurate shooter. If it were me, I would probably not hit any target.
"I'll try to exchange secret signals with He Yi and the others first to see what their current situation is."
Bai Zongde made a series of frog-like croaking sounds, trying to contact He Yi.
After waiting for a while and hearing no response, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Did something happen to He Yi and the other two?
He signaled again.
This time, it didn't take long for the other side to respond.
"It's bad. Although the three people on He Yi's side didn't die, they were injured to varying degrees." Bai Zongde said anxiously.
He Fan was really anxious after hearing this.
He really wanted to snatch the gun from Bai Zongde's hand and shoot to death the few Japanese soldiers hiding on the edge of the embankment.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the shooting skills.
Bai Zongde thought about it and sent a signal to He Yi again.
After getting a response from the other side, he handed the pistol to He Fan, whispered a few words in his ear, and then gestured to teach him how to use the gun.
He also whispered in Ning Rong's ear.
Ning Rong nodded in agreement, and Bai Zongde and He Fan turned around and walked down the mountain.
Ten minutes later, a gunshot was heard in the village.
The Japanese soldiers hiding under the earthen embankment were in a panic, not knowing whether it was the Chinese reinforcements that had arrived.
They divided the six people into three groups and went down the mountain to check the situation in the village.
The three people who were going down the mountain walked for a few minutes and just as they reached the first corner, a handful of white powder was sprinkled directly towards them.
Before they could react, they fell to the ground one after another.
Bai Zongde trembled and walked out of the darkness, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He calmed down, went up to the three people lying on the ground and confiscated their guns, then groped his way back to Ning Rong.
He handed the gun to Ning Rong, and then signaled He Yi and the others.
After getting the response, he exchanged glances with Ning Rong and nodded. The two of them pulled the safety of their pistols and fired directly at the ridge below.
He Yi and his team heard the gunshots and rushed out immediately.
They originally thought it would be another fierce battle, but when they rushed out, the three people under the ridge had already been beaten into sieves and were no longer breathing.
Ning Rong was quite scared at first, but when he saw the three people covered in blood, he suddenly forgot his fear and immediately went forward to help check their injuries.
Several people were not injured in vital areas, but all suffered injuries to varying degrees.
He Yi injured his left shoulder, Xinxinghua injured his arm, and Fang Hannan injured his thigh.
"He Yi, did you encounter any Japanese soldiers hiding in the cave earlier?"
Bai Zongde squatted beside Ning Rong and held a flashlight for her, and asked casually.
He Yi nodded, "Yes, we killed more than ten devils in the cave.
We hung a large bag of drugs on the tree at the entrance of the cave. When they walked to the entrance, we directly exploded the drugs and knocked them out.
It took almost no effort to close the net.
Because Xuanxuan said at that time that the Japanese went to the cave first and then went to the village for massacre.
But no one expected that they would split into two groups.
We were dragging their evidence down the mountain without any preparation, and halfway through we ran into the devils coming up from the village, and a fight ensued.”
Ning Rong applied medicine to several people, bandaged them simply, and was preparing to support each other and go down the mountain.
A fire dragon walked up from the foot of the mountain.
Fang Dahai heard the gunshots again and could not stay any longer, so he called the male villagers, took their work tools, lit torches and went up the mountain.
The villagers came up and saw He Yi and his men covered in blood, and immediately worked together to carry them down the mountain.
They also cooperated in tying up the unconscious Japanese soldiers and transporting them all down the mountain.
When Zuo Zixuan heard that He Yi and the others had returned, she asked Xu Qingfeng to help her go see He Yi.
"He Yi, He Yi..."
"young married woman……"
"He Yi, are you injured?"
He Yi thought about it and nodded:
"Yeah, I got a little hurt."
He felt there was no need to hide the fact that Zuo Zixuan was injured.
Zuo Zixuan is a doctor and is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and cannot hide it.
"He Yi, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you to get hurt.
I didn’t expect them to split into two groups.”
Zuo Zixuan felt very guilty. If her information had not been wrong, He Yi and the others would not have been injured.
He Yi held her hand and said:
"Wife, don't blame yourself.
If you hadn't foreseen it, more than three of us would have been injured.
I’m afraid the entire Goge Village will be massacred.”
"But……"
"No buts. I think it's worth it to sacrifice three of our lives for the safety of the entire village."
Before Zuo Zixuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by He Yi.
That's the truth, but Zuo Zixuan just can't let it go.
The villagers had just carried all the unconscious Japanese soldiers down the mountain when the sound of a helicopter overhead began to make a "bang bang bang" sound.
Bai Zongde stood in the square with a flashlight to signal the helicopter.
After the helicopter stopped, a team came down from it, and Uncle He followed at the end and got off the plane.
Song Yingyan called Uncle He, but he knew nothing about anything. In a nutshell, He Yi was asking for support.
He couldn't figure out what was going on with He Yi for a while, and was really worried, so he had no choice but to come over to take a look.
Even though they are relatives, He Yi and his companions still need to salute when they see Uncle He outside.
Uncle He was a little angry when he saw that He Yi and others were injured. These damn Japanese devils simply would never stop.
They always go after a village. If you don’t know, you would think there is gold buried under the village.
When he saw the more than thirty human skin masks and several large boxes of medicines, he became furious.
The Japanese devils not only dare to think, but also dare to do.
Seeing that He Yi and his companions were not seriously injured, he dragged the captured Japanese and their belongings onto the plane and rushed back to Kyoto without stopping.
It was twelve o'clock midnight, but the office of the senior leader of the central government was still brightly lit.
The big boss held a cigarette in his hand and squinted at the thirty or so masks placed on his desk and the large boxes of medicines in the middle of the office.
The devils are really going too far...
Should I tear this face apart or not?
If I don't tear it apart, I'll feel aggrieved.
If it is torn, war will definitely break out at any time.
He was not afraid of war, but he was afraid that the Chinese people would suffer and that China's economy would fall further behind.
"Commander He, how is Xiao Zuo's eyes?"
Uncle He also had a depressed look on his face as he looked at the things in the room.
"They said they just started the treatment this morning. It will take at least three days, or at most five days, to remove the gauze and get the results."
The big leader nodded.
"Commander He, please pay more attention to Xiao Zuo's affairs.
Originally, I didn't want to disturb her during this period of time and wanted her to have a good rest.
But the current situation is a bit urgent. We must make the Japanese go back to the island before they take action.
No matter how easy it is for us Chinese to talk to each other, we are not cowards.
Once they move against the central government, this war will be inevitable.
I'm afraid the situation at that time will be what you and I least want to see.
So, when Xiao Zuo's eyes are healed, she should be asked to immediately devote herself to the solvent research project."
