Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

The atmosphere in the simple shack was solemn and depressing. The dim kerosene lamp swayed in the wind, shining on Ma Sanpao's pale face, making him look particularly sad.

Ma Shanpao's wound worsened rapidly, and the wound was already shockingly red, swollen and ulcerated.

Pus slowly seeped out, emitting an ominous smell.

He lay quietly on the simple bed, his eyes closed, his breathing weak and rapid, and he had fallen into a deep coma.

Faced with this sudden change, the guerrilla doctor, Han Ling, was helpless.

At this time, she should have undergone surgery to remove the dead flesh from Ma Shanpao's festering wound.

However, Ma Shanpao had fallen into coma several times due to excessive blood loss.

They had no blood transfusion equipment, so if a secondary bleeding occurred at this time, it would very likely endanger Ma Sanpao's life.

Therefore, Duanwu originally planned to arrange the troops before going to Tongyu Town to find medicine, but now, the plan must be advanced and he must rush to Tongyu County overnight.

He had to bring Liu Jinbiao with him. Liu Jinbiao had a friend in Tongyu Town who might be able to provide them with some help.

In addition to Liu Jinbiao, Duanwu also brought Li Ergou.

Li Ergou is smart and has a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances. If there is any emergency, he can come back and report.

As for the others, Duanwu didn't bring anyone with him.

This time we are not going to fight a war. Having more people is useless and will make it easier to be exposed.

So in the dark of night, only Duanwu, Liu Jinbiao and Li Ergou left the camp and headed straight towards Tongyu Town.

The three of them walked in the woods with rustling footsteps. With the help of the moonlight, they could barely see the road ahead.

Duanwu asked Liu Jinbiao whether his brother was reliable.

Liu Jinbiao thought for a moment and said, "Liu Quezi and I have a life-long friendship. Back then, when we were transporting goods together, we encountered the bandit Zuo Shandiao. The goods were robbed and we fought our way out. It was also at that time that he became a cripple.

But I haven't seen him for three years, I don't know what he is doing now. But he is a very loyal person. "

Duanwu nodded, because after hearing what Liu Jinbiao said, he felt that this Liu Lame should be reliable.

Of course, Duanwu would not completely trust the other party, and he would have to wait until he met Liu Guizi before making any decision.

They talked as they walked, and before they knew it they had walked about five kilometers, they suddenly saw a flash of fire at the mountain pass ahead.

Duanwu immediately signaled Liu Jinbiao and Li Ergou to stop.

The three men lay in the woods, looking towards the mountain pass. At this time, the fire gradually gathered into one, and the shadows reflected the outline of a Japanese sentry post.

The checkpoint is located at the narrow part of the mountain pass, with steep cliffs on both sides, forming a natural barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Inside the checkpoint, the Japanese soldiers' long figures appeared like devils under the light of the fire.

A rough count during the Dragon Boat Festival revealed that there were at least twenty Japanese soldiers stationed here.

In the center of the outpost, a simple command post was built. A Japanese soldier who looked like an officer was looking down at a map, occasionally looking up into the distance, as if he was deploying something.

As a gust of wind blew, the leaves in the mountains and forests rustled, as if even nature was nervous about the sudden appearance of the Japanese sentry checkpoint.

Duanwu calculated in his mind, knowing that it would not be easy to pass through this checkpoint quietly.

He turned around and looked at Liu Jinbiao and Li Ergou. The same light was shining in their eyes. Duanwu lowered his voice and said, "We have to find a way to get around it."

Liu Jinbiao and Li Ergou nodded, because it was obvious that the Japanese would not have just twenty or so sentries blocking the mountain pass. There was a high possibility that there were secret Japanese sentries lurking deep in the dense forests in the mountains.

So I'm afraid they will have to go a long way around this circle.

But at this moment, Liu Jinbiao suddenly remembered something and said, "Leader Ye, we can't go around. If we want to go around, we need to walk at least ten more kilometers."

Duanwu asked in confusion: "Why?"

Liu Jinbiao said solemnly: "If we go south, there is a plain. The Japanese devils can't help but guard there. If we go north, we will enter the territory of the bandit Zuo Shandiao. This bandit is very fierce. Even the Japanese can't do anything to him."

Liu Jinbiao mentioned Zuoshandiao twice, which reminded Duanwu of an old acquaintance.

  Of course, it’s not that the two knew each other, but Duanwu had seen the TV series and film about Zuoshandiao - Yang Zirong Takes Tiger Mountain by Strategy!

Could these two be the same person?

However, the mountain eagle is indeed very fierce, and is also hailed as an anti-Japanese hero.

It’s just a pity that after driving the Japanese away, he chose to become the enemy of the people.

Of course, this also indirectly shows that Zuoshandiao is, to put it bluntly, a bandit, and he will work for whoever can maximize his interests.

So thinking of this, he actually wanted to meet this legendary figure.

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "Let's go into the territory of the mountain eagle and see what this mountain eagle is capable of."

Liu Jinbiao said worriedly: "Leader Ye, this mountain eagle has nearly a thousand men under his command. Even the Japanese can't do anything to him. We must be careful!"

Duanwu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

So the three of them turned to the north side, and after about two kilometers, they entered the territory of the Mountain Eagle.

The mountain eagle is as cunning as a fox and has set many traps in his territory.

Duanwu discovered more than a dozen such places along the way. No wonder the Japanese were unwilling to cause trouble for Zuoshandiao.

But also because of this, Duanwu and his group walked very slowly.

Duanwu decided to walk on the mountain road.

Liu Jinbiao quickly stopped him and said, "There are often ambushes on the mountain trails by the Mountain Eagles. It's not safe even at night."

Duanwu smiled and said, "We have wasted too much time. Captain Ma's life is in danger at any time. This detour will take us at least an hour longer. So we can't delay any longer."

Liu Jinbiao said nothing more, and then the three of them walked out of the woods and onto the mountain road.

But they had not walked far when they heard the sound of creaking in the woods, followed by the sound of dense footsteps.

As Luo Sheng stopped abruptly, a group of people quickly flashed out from the woods. They were wearing clothes of various colors and holding various weapons. Some even held big swords, and their eyes flashed with greed and ferocity.

The leading bandit was a burly man with a face full of pits and pockmarks the size of green beans. He rode on a tall horse and looked down at Liu Jinbiao and his group with a sneer on his face. "Oh, it seems that we are lucky today. We met three little fat sheep!"

"Hahaha!"

The surrounding bandits also joined in the strange laughter and gathered around, surrounding Duanwu, Liu Jinbiao and Li Ergou.

"If you know what's best for you, just hand over all your valuables. Maybe I can save your life! Hehehe!"

The pockmarked bandit sneered, his voice carrying an unquestionable threat! (End of this chapter)
