Thanks to the desperate cover of the fire team, Sai Hongfu and the others protected Aunt Wang and Wang Yusheng, and finally managed to break out from the gap in the southwest corner before the Japanese gendarmerie formed an encirclement, and then began to wander erratically to the west and south 's march.
Hatota Kan was not helpless. The old Japanese immediately gave orders to the Japanese and puppet troops at various security points around Nanjing to intercept them in advance in the direction of Langya's possible breakout. Unfortunately, the Japanese and puppet troops at these strongholds were unable to do anything. The army either missed the target or couldn't stop it at all.
Chasing until dark, Hatoda Hiroshi led the main force of the gendarmerie to the southwest foot of Purple Mountain, and finally lost the wolf fang. Not willing to give in, Hatoda Hiroshi divided his troops and went deep into Purple Mountain to search, but he searched two consecutive times. hours, but still found nothing.
(Dividing line)
Let’s talk about Xu Rui later. After he separated from Sai Hongfu, he first opened fire with Xiao Taohong and diverted the main force of Kutada’s gendarmerie. After the battle in Zhujiacun started, Kutada immediately led his main force to return to reinforcements, but before returning the reinforcements A small team was also left to continue chasing Xu Rui.
If it was a jungle terrain, an urban terrain, or even an open area, but as long as it was dark, Xu Rui could easily kill this small group of Japs. Unfortunately, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong had already left Niushan District at that time, and they were nearby. There is only a bamboo forest.
Although the bamboo forest can provide a certain amount of cover, it is not as complicated as the jungle or the city. Therefore, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong spent a lot of time and effort before they finally killed the fifty or so Japs and waited for them to return to Zhujia Village. By that time, Sai Hongfu and the others had broken through from the southwest corner of Zhujia Village.
Xu Rui is an extremely experienced special forces soldier, so he did not choose to join up with his subordinates. Instead, he decisively launched an endless attack on the main force of Hatuda Hiroshi's gendarmerie from behind. Sai Hongfu and the others were able to successfully get rid of the Japs. Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong deserved the most credit for their cover.
After entering Purple Mountain, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong decisively gave up the harassment and went to the secret camp to meet Sai Hongfu and the others.
When Jiutian Kuan led the gendarmerie to search in the mountains, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong had already arrived at the secret camp in Zijin Mountain and met Sai Hongfu and the others.
The first thing Xu Rui did after meeting Sai Hongfu and the others was to count the number of people.
As soon as the results were counted, it was found that three people were missing. In fact, Xu Rui had already discovered as soon as he entered the secret camp that the three of them were missing, because the three of them were big and very eye-catching. You can see it.
Xu Rui's face suddenly darkened, like the silent sky before an approaching storm.
"Where's the big python? Where's the bull? Where's the black bear?" Xu Rui stared at Sai Hongfu and asked in a deep voice.
Sai Hong turned her head subconsciously, not daring to look at Xu Rui, but tears fell down her cheeks.
"Xiao Bai, I'm asking you a question!" Xu Rui's tone became more violent than ever before, and he asked again, "Where are the three of them? Where are they?"
"They..." Sai Hongfu's red lips murmured, but she still couldn't say it.
At this moment, a handsome figure suddenly knelt down behind Xu Rui.
Xu Rui suddenly turned around, only to find that the person kneeling in front of him was Aunt Wang from the Fortress House. Xu Rui was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to help Aunt Wang and said, "Auntie, what are you doing? Get up, get up quickly, let’s get up and talk.”
But Aunt Wang shook her head and said: "Commander, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If it weren't for saving us two grandsons, you wouldn't have to take the risk at all, and the three comrades wouldn't have to sacrifice." , Blame me, blame me all, it’s all my fault.”
"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Xu Rui said miserably, "If you say so, we are the ones who brought the devils. If it weren't for us, you and Yusheng could live in Zhujia Village well, how would you be like this now? It’s us who should apologize for the disaster, get up quickly, aunt.”
However, Aunt Wang insisted on shaking her head and said: "Commander, it was we who caused you trouble and caused the death of three of your good comrades. I, our grandparents, kowtow to you, as an apology." After saying this, Aunt Wang turned back to say hello. Yusheng said, "Yusheng, come here quickly, let's kowtow to the commander."
Wang Yusheng wanted to come over, but Mo Zichen hugged him. Wang Yusheng struggled hard, but Mo Zichen was not moved at all. Yusheng became anxious and opened his mouth and put it on Mo Zichen's arm, but Mo Zichen didn't do anything. No reaction, just looking at Xu Rui steadily, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Aunt Wang struggled to kowtow, but Xu Rui made a pop and knelt down in front of Aunt Wang, shouting miserably: "Auntie, it's me who should kneel down to you, it's us who should kowtow to you!" Auntie, let me kneel down and kowtow for you!"
After saying that, Xu Rui actually put his hands on the ground and kowtowed to Aunt Wang.
Seeing Xu Rui kneel down and kowtow to herself, Aunt Wang immediately became a little at a loss. She didn't even bother to kneel down and kowtow. She hurriedly supported Xu Rui and said incoherently: "Commander, what are you doing? Commander, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly."
Xu Rui said he would kowtow once, but he kowtowed three times. While kowtowing, he said: "Auntie, the comrades of the Nanjing Special Committee have already told us all your deeds. You have nurtured and trained two outstanding party members for our party." , it is precisely because of heroic mothers like you that our party can grow stronger!"
"For the party and the revolutionary cause of the motherland, you sent your two sons to the battlefield one after another, and your two sons died on the battlefield one after another. You also have no regrets and took the initiative to become a stronghold of the organization." Speaking of this, Xu Rui His voice had become a little choked, and he continued, "Auntie, you have at least protected more than a hundred revolutionary fighters for the organization over the years."
After a slight pause, Xu Rui said miserably: "If we hadn't been careless this time and accidentally attracted the Japs, you and Yusheng would at least still have a home and be able to live peacefully. So, kneel down and apologize." It should be us, it should be me!"
Xu Rui told the truth. The reason why Wang's family was exposed this time was entirely because of him!
At that time, if Xu Rui and the others had stayed in the city for a day and waited until dark before leaving the city, it would have been impossible to alert the Japanese sentries on the city tower, and it would have been impossible for Mrs. Wang's family to be exposed. Therefore, the exposure of Mrs. Wang's family was really caused by Xu Rui. Yes, because of this, Xu Rui really should kneel down and apologize.
Of course, Xu Rui did this for a reason, in order not to give Jun Nakamura a chance to repeat.
But when Xu Rui made this decision, he didn't think too much about the safety of the fortress. Therefore, at this moment, Xu Rui felt really guilty, very guilty, for destroying Aunt Wang and Yusheng. I feel extremely guilty for living a stable life.
At that moment, Xu Rui said miserably: "Madam, I will kowtow three more times for you."
After saying that, Xu Rui fell to the ground again and knocked on his head three times.
Aunt Wang was also filled with sadness by Xu Rui's words just now. She sent her two sons and her daughter-in-law to the battlefield one after another, and sacrificed her life for the revolution. Although she had no regrets, she still wanted to It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not sad or sad.
Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, when she sees every family in the village reunited, except for her own family, only her grandfather and grandson depend on each other. Who knows the sadness in Aunt Wang’s heart? Every year during the Qingming Festival, I go to the village to sweep the tombs. I think that in the three tombs, only the clothes of my son and daughter-in-law are buried. Who can tell me how desolate this is? Her two sons and daughter-in-law died on the battlefield for the revolutionary cause, but even their bodies could not be recovered.
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart and couldn't help but cover her face and sob.
Xu Rui kowtowed and stood up. When he saw Aunt Wang crying so sadly, he immediately turned over and knelt down again, and said with great sincerity: "Auntie, although your two sons and daughter-in-law have all been sacrificed, we are still there. And me, mother, from today on, you are my mother, and I am your son, mother, my son will kowtow to you again, mother!"
After saying that, Xu Rui kowtowed again.
Sai Hongfu also hurried over and knelt down and kowtowed, crying and saying: "Mom, from today on, I am your daughter-in-law, and Yusheng is my son. I must treat him better than my own son. Mom, daughter-in-law I’ll give you a kowtow too, mother.”
"Good boy, get up quickly. You're still pregnant." Aunt Wang quickly came forward and lifted Xu Rui and Sai Hongfu up one by one. Xiao Taohong also came forward and said sweetly, "Mom, And I."
"Good children, they are all good children." Aunt Wang took Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong into her arms one by one. However, the tears were like a flood that burst the embankment. She couldn't control them no matter what, so Aunt Wang He simply didn't wipe it and let the tears flow down his cheeks, while still smiling.
At this time, Lei Xiang, Mo Zichen and a dozen other wolf fangs stepped forward one after another and said, "Mom, we are all your sons, and our sons kowtow to you!"
After saying that, all the Langya knelt down and kowtowed to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang quickly stepped forward and helped Langya up one by one.
However, Shi Xiaoqian and Feng Wubian did not come forward to kowtow, but just watched quietly.
But it is undeniable that the scene just now shocked Shi Xiaoqian and Feng Wubian greatly. They were shocked by Aunt Wang's dedication without regrets, and at the same time they were also impressed by the Japanese people's courage to fight and die. The spirit of death was extremely shocked.
Only then did Sai Hongfu dare to say to Xu Rui: "Husband, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to say sorry. You can't be blamed for this, and you can't be blamed on me. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the Japanese!" At this point, Xu Rui's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We, Langya, have always been If you have a grudge, take revenge, and take revenge immediately. Now, it’s time to seek revenge against the Japanese!"
"Yes, revenge!" Upon hearing this, the dozen or so wolf fangs became furious. (To be continued.)
