Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 2 Looking for Death
Qian Xiaobao held a Zhangkou Deng in his right hand, dragged the belt of the [-] rifle in his left hand, and ran towards the east down the ridge quickly.The rifle bayonet made a trail of snow on the ground.

Killing four Japanese gendarmes in one go is no small matter, the Japanese will definitely go crazy trying to catch him or kill him.

He planned to run eastward out of the urban area first, then make a circle and a half, and then flee northward towards Weihu Mountain.

As long as he got into the mountains, it was his world, and it was very easy to escape under the eyes of the Japanese.

After running more than 200 meters, Qian Xiaobao heard a gunshot, he paused for a moment and then ran forward.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark.Pedestrians on the road looked a little blurry, and Qian Xiaobao almost collided with people who were walking towards him several times.

The person on the opposite side was just about to scold his mother, when he suddenly saw that the person who hit him was holding a short gun in one hand and dragging a long gun in the other, and hastily swallowed back the eighteen generations of ancestors who had already reached his mouth.

Qian Xiaobao ran away again like a gust of wind.

That shot was fired by He Guodong.He took out his pistol when several civilians gathered around him and threw him on the ground and kicked him violently.

But as soon as he took out his pistol, he stamped his big foot fiercely on the hand holding the gun.

He Guodong fired a shot unconsciously as his fingers hurt.Then the pistol dropped.Immediately afterwards, he was kicked by several big feet.

Thanks to the fact that it was winter, he was wearing a cotton coat and a dog fur hat, otherwise his life would be here today.

A shrill whistle sounded, and more than a dozen heavily armed Japanese rushed out from the Industrial Reclamation Bank.

On the street, the people who were punching and kicking the three policemen lying on the ground dispersed in a rush.They are all locals who are familiar with the way and disappeared at the entrance of the streets and alleys in the blink of an eye.

Enduring the pain all over his body, He Guodong reluctantly got up. He said angrily to the two policemen Yu Wenhuai and Ma Jixiang who were still lying on the ground: "Are you dead? Get up quickly if you are not dead!"

Yu Wenhuai and another policeman, Ma Jixiang, were both veterans of the Fengjun Army. Now they are policemen just to support their families and make a living.

The two were severely beaten just now.They took the opportunity to lie on the snow and couldn't get up.Now after being named by He Guodong, I can no longer pretend, so I have to slowly get up.

He Guodong looked around, and the sap man who was caught and escorted to the gendarmerie headquarters had disappeared.

He searched carefully on the snow again, but there was no trace of his pistol, and it seemed that he had been taken away by the person who beat him.

He Guodong looked at the four Japanese military police corpses on the ground and knew that his good life was over.

A dozen Japanese with guns rushed in front of the three of them.

They are all in charge of security tasks at the Industrial Bank.The anti-bandits are too fierce, and the bank is the focus of Japanese protection.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and chase the shooter!" the leader of the Japanese roared.

He Guodong woke up immediately after being shouted by the Japanese.Now only by catching the person who killed the Japanese military police can he atone for his crime.

Although his pistol was lost, there were still three [-] rifles on the ground that had not been taken away.The three of them happened to be able to take guns to chase the rebel bandit.

"Hold this!" The leading Japanese handed another flashlight to He Guodong.Their task is to guard the bank, so they can't follow He Guodong and the others to chase people.

"Hurry up! Are the three of us still afraid of him alone?" He Guodong said to Wen Huai and Ma Jixiang.

Yu Wenhuai and Ma Jixiang couldn't help shivering when they heard what He Guodong said.He Guodong is young and has just graduated from the police academy and has no experience, but both of them are veterans.

That kid killed four Japanese gendarmes in the blink of an eye just now.Judging by how sharply he shoots, the three of them are definitely not rivals.

But although He Guodong is young, he is an officer.This kid has been brainwashed by the Japanese, which is different from the two of them who just want to make a living.

There was no other way, so Yu Wenhuai and Ma Jixiang had no choice but to pick up the rifles on the ground and follow He Guodong in the direction where Qian Xiaobao was escaping.

Qian Xiaobao stopped walking, put his hands on his knees and panted heavily.

He has now run out of the city of Mudanjiang.In the distance, there is a large walled factory, which is a power plant just built by the Japanese.

Qian Xiaobao stared blankly at the light bulb on the tall pole in a daze.

It was only after he arrived in Mudanjiang that he saw electric lights for the first time in his life.What did the Japanese do?How can it be so bright?

The thought only crossed his mind briefly.Qian Xiaobao turned the [-] rifle behind his back and ran northward.

There is a flat snow field under the feet, and when you look up, you can see the mountains against the starry sky in the distance.

Hurry up into the mountains!As long as you enter the mountain, you will be completely safe. At worst, I will wait for the Japanese in the sky!
Thinking about it, Qian Xiaobao quickened his pace and ran northward.

He Guodong and the other three were not slow to chase.There is no way to hide the bright footprints on the snow, they just need to follow the footprints.

Near the power plant, He Guodong pointed to the footprints on the ground that suddenly turned north with a flashlight and said: "There is no way to hide people in this area. He must want to run into the mountains. Hurry up!"

Yu Wenhuai, however, sat down on the ground and shook his head repeatedly, saying: "Nephew, no! Brother, no! Sir, take a break. Our two old arms and legs can't run anymore. Besides, the Japanese I'll follow up immediately, wouldn't it be more sure to chase together?"

"Get up quickly! By the time the imperial army arrives, the people may have already disappeared! If you don't get up again, you two will not lose your jobs. Just wait and go back to the prison!" He Guodong roared.

There is no way.Yu Wenhuai and Ma Jixiang scolded the [-]th generation of He Guodong's ancestors in their hearts while getting up and continuing to chase along the footprints.

Qian Xiaobao ran another two or three miles in one breath.He suddenly turned his head and saw a faint light coming from a few hundred meters away.

He put his feet back and took off the [-] rifle on his back and quickly lay down on the snow.That's not all.Qian Xiaobao took off the dog fur hat on his head and put it under the rifle, pointing the muzzle at the faint light.

Yu Wenhuai and Ma Jixiang, the two veterans, became more and more excited.This is tiring and even more frightening!

Both of them knew in their hearts that if they went any further, the gate of hell would be closed.

He Guodong looked back at the two of them.

Ma Jixiang quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to He Guodong.

"Sir, smoke a cigarette. As long as there are footprints, the kid can't run away." Ma Jixiang said with a forced smile.

He Guodong just wanted to yell at the two of them to continue chasing.But when he thought about it, he stretched out his hand and took the cigarette Ma Jixiang handed over without smiling.

Just as Yu Wenhuai was about to open his mouth to remind something, his hand was suddenly held by Ma Jixiang and shook.

Yu Wenhuai closed his mouth again.He couldn't bear to look at He Guodong who was opening the package to smoke.
