chaotic world

Master Zhou had almost run out of ammunition and no food in the ancient city. After two days, he would be useless. When Du Lu was there before, he almost ate up the grass leaves and bark, leaving only loess for Master Zhou.

Like Zhou Shi, there is no way out, and there is Imanobu Yaharu who has won a big victory.

He succeeded in chasing and intercepting Zhou Lan, but got stuck at this juncture—Zhou Lan refused to surrender. As long as the Japanese army rushed into the city, Zhou's division would resist desperately, and what he got might be Zhou Lan's body.

What would he want a dead body for?

But he didn't have a suitable lobbyist to persuade him to surrender. The guy who claimed to be his subordinate had his leg broken.

According to the normal situation, if the lobbyist is injured or killed, the only thing to do is go to war.

Immediately take down Zhouxian County with great firepower, which is also the meaning of the military department. The chief officer of Xinyaqing, General Lingjialong, has personally asked why he did not fight. The "Iron Stone Corps", which made the Japanese army lose face, couldn't hold back even more.He immediately asked Jinxin Yaqing to capture Zhou County. As for Zhou Lan, of course, he would shoot him to death.

Jinxin is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Once the siege starts, the situation will get out of control. He knows Zhou Lan's character, and what Zhou Lan doesn't want to do, he will go to extremes.

And after Zhou Lan sent Ma Guoxiang away, he thought that the big wave of Japanese troops would come soon, but he couldn't wait, and he couldn't wait. He thought what the Japanese devils were dawdling in. Do they have to wait for Zhou Shi to starve to death?

If he was too hungry to pick up a gun, he would prepare a bunch of grenades for himself, pull them lightly, and everyone would go to heaven together.

It is impossible to capture him alive.

During the three days of not eating or drinking, time stood still, people would not be hungry when they were too hungry, the wind was blowing, the grass was moving, and the clouds were floating, as if the war had never happened, the years were quiet and the world was stable.

In the silence, he leaned on the firewood stack and thought of the days when he was gone for the first time.

He knew that he couldn't escape.

Most of his assets are in the hands of He Si, and He Si will take good care of his family, without asking, he will take care of them for the rest of his life.

He was afraid of death, but he was not afraid of dying in the hands of the Japanese.

It's just that he still regrets not being able to explain clearly to He Si.

He Si, I hope you can understand, I must save Du Yunfeng, even if I know that one life is for another, I have to come to save him.

As for you, you are in my heart, my only love.

He couldn't spread these words, the telegraph machine was broken long ago, and in the ancient city isolated from the world, he said to He Si in his heart, then he simply asked the secretary for a pen and paper, wrote these words on the paper, folded it and put it in his coat pocket , and there is also a telegram from Du Yunfeng to report his safety earlier.

What if his body is still there after he dies, what if someone can read this letter.

That He Si is a stubborn one, and his stubbornness can be entangled for a lifetime.

As for Du Yunfeng, thinking of this, Zhou Lan opened the letter paper again, and added a paragraph——

I was a brother with his friend. The big mistake I made in the early years was life-threatening and irreparable. Now that I pay my life for another life, I finally no longer owe him in my heart.If I could do it all over again, I would not kill his adoptive father, but I would stay far away from him, so that he would not have to bear the debt of love dilemma in this life.What I owed, I will pay him back.

Three days later, several Japanese troops sneaked into the city to attack.

This team has a clear goal, and it is rushing towards the ruined temple.

However, the strange thing was that, seeing that the sneak attack was about to succeed, a group of Japanese soldiers met Zhou Lan face to face. When they saw the bundle of grenades in Zhou Lan's arms, the leader muttered a few words in Japanese, and suddenly retreated.

Under the circumstances of the disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, the sneak attack adopted by the opponent is not only unwise, but also mentally retarded.

There must be a reason for this, and the reason seems to be himself.The Japanese can't wait to put him to death, so why are they sneaking around to catch him alive?

Why must he live?

Who would want him to live?

A little spark flashed in his mind—

Could it be that he is the one surrounding me?

Both father and son are thoughtful people, and they diagnose each other's pulse through machine guns and cannons.

Zhou Lan suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. What the other party wanted was something he could rely on to threaten him.

The only war horses were killed, all the immature young crops in the field were eaten up, and even the belts were boiled and chewed. On a dusk that was also burning with fire, the remnants of the Zhou division with hundreds of people suddenly launched an attack.

It was a desperate assault method, close to hand-to-hand combat. Zhou Lan fought into the encirclement surrounded by the crowd for protection.

Originally, everyone was defending him, but wherever the encirclement went, it was as if they had their own shields, and even the sound of gunfire was sparse.

It was like a steel ball fell into the desert, but he himself was extremely hard, but he was still stuck in the sand and couldn't escape.

The Japanese rolled them back into the city like they were wrapped in a soft cloth.

Zhou Lan did not escape, but confirmed his thoughts, and the Japanese army suffered even more serious losses than the Zhou division.After all, we can only surround but not fight. The order of the lieutenant general in this letter is to return to Zhao intact.

Five days later, Du Brigade retreated to Xuzhou, and Du Yunfeng felt something was wrong from the excitement of anticipation.

Master Zhou did not arrive as scheduled, and the cannons and heavy equipment arrived, so Master Zhou had no reason to be late.

Telegrams were sent out one after another, but there was no news from Master Zhou.

Du Yunfeng panicked. He was almost always in the communication class. Every time there was a tick-tock message, he waited eagerly in front of the machine, waiting for the translator to translate it word by word.

Song Shudong remained silent.

He felt apprehensive and happy.For the Japanese devils in the two divisions, Master Zhou may have difficulty flying even with wings.

As the old saying goes, "Borrowing a knife to kill", he just borrowed it, the knife was not in his hand, and Zhou Lan lost his life. It was because of the relationship between himself and the Japanese, which had nothing to do with him, Song Shudong. He released the news to the Japanese. , Then why didn't the Japanese attack Ma Tuan, only Zhou Shi?

After all, Zhou Lan himself had the root of the disease.

People do too many evils, and there will be retribution after all. Look, now that retribution is coming, he, Song Shudong, just added fuel secretly and called him good. He didn't press the knife on Zhou Lan's neck.

—So don't be ashamed, he said to himself.

He said it to himself countless times, telling himself all the time, his mind was so busy that he even forgot to vent his usual grievances.

Du Yunfeng didn't order him to do anything easily, and when he was so anxious that he couldn't help it, he simply turned over the telegram record book by himself, trying to estimate his location from the time of registration and the sending time of Zhou Lan's last telegram.

The communications soldier was so busy that his nose was sweating, but he couldn't find the registration details from the safe's log book.

Du Yunfeng's anxious heart sank, it was an ominous sign, Song Shudong personally gave him this telegram.

"Call Adjutant Song!" He took out the telegram from his pocket and stared at it, and asked the orderly to look for him.

When Song Shudong came in, Du Yunfeng ordered everyone in the communication class to go out.

The two haven't been alone in the same room for a long time.

Du Yunfeng was sitting on a simple marching chair. He raised his head to stare at Song Shudong at this moment, and raised the paper in his hand. He asked quietly, "Did you lie to me?"

Song Shudong's heart rose to his throat, and his face flushed red. The reasons he had told himself thousands of times were not enough. The look in Du Yunfeng's eyes turned his anxiety into fear. He knew too well how much Zhou Lan loved Du Yunfeng. important

"I don't understand what you're saying." Song Shudong didn't dare admit it. He had always been in charge of the communication class, and Du Yunfeng never came in person.

"Still lying?" Du Yunfeng roared.

Song Shudong shivered subconsciously.

He was still afraid of him, from the first time they met.

Du Yunfeng was not sure at first, but Song Shudong was not a good liar, he denied it with his mouth, but he admitted it with his flickering eyes, hesitant steps and weak words.

"Why did you forge the telegram? He didn't run out, did he?" Du Yunfeng was furious, and pointed the hand holding the telegram to the tip of Song Shudong's nose, while he had already stood up, condescendingly questioning the trembling Song Shudong.

Song Shudong didn't speak, but lowered his head and looked away.

He was afraid, but he didn't regret it, as long as Du Yunfeng was doing well, it would be worthwhile for him to cheat.

"It's just hateful," Du Yunfeng tore the ball of paper to pieces, threw them on the ground viciously, and turned his head to send an order: "Zhao Xiaohu, order the first regiment, the second battalion and the third battalion to stand by. Take the grenades."

"Yes!" Zhao Xiaohu agreed by standing at attention outside the door, and then immediately went to deliver the order.

"What are you doing?" Song Shudong came back to his senses, and looked at Du Yunfeng in disbelief, "You managed to escape, and go back to die?"

"Thank you." Du Yunfeng gave him a cold look, and walked away.

Song Shudong panicked, his body reacted instinctively before his words.He almost flew out and hugged Du Yunfeng: "Yunfeng, you must not go."

Du Yunfeng didn't want to spend any more time with him, so he opened his fingers and was about to leave.Song Shudong even used his housekeeping skills, entangled him tightly, and he begged: "Yunfeng, don't go, you will die if you go."

"Let go of me!" Du Yunfeng was in a moment of anxiety, he raised his hand and slapped him, "Let go."

Song Shudong insisted on not letting go, but he was not Du Yunfeng's opponent. Seeing that he couldn't hold on, he slipped down and hugged Du Yunfeng's waist and legs.

"I really can't go. The Japanese already know about Master Zhou's situation. He has no life to live to this day. It's useless for you to go."

Du Yunfeng looked down at him, unbelievable, and asked him word by word: "Did you sell him?"

"Without him attracting attention, our brigade would have no time to withdraw. If you lose the artillery regiment, the military committee will punish you. How will you gain a foothold in the future?" Song Shudong moved with emotion and reason.

However, Du Yunfeng didn't listen, he stopped struggling, looked down at Song Shudong and asked, "Is it for me, or for yourself?"

"No matter who it is for, this is the situation now. Yunfeng, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. It's his own fault that the Japanese stared at Zhou Lan. I didn't cause it, and it's none of your business."

Du Yunfeng sneered.

He has always felt that Song Shudong is kind and reliable, he doesn't doubt him, and leaves everything to him, he is so good, when they get together, a big lie blows up Du Yunfeng.

"Shudong," he bent down and opened Song Shudong's fingers one by one, "No matter how bad Zhou Lan is, for my sake, he never touched you, he never owed you anything, I owe you , you pay me back."

Song Shudong sat on the ground in a funny posture, raised his head and was almost face to face with Du Yunfeng.

"I'm not up yet, I'm going to die." Du Yunfeng smiled lightly, "But even if I die, I want to be with him."

After he finished speaking, he went out. Song Shudong scrambled to pull his ankle, but he only caught the corner of his thin military trousers, and he let go in an instant.

His eyes became hot, and he turned to lie on his back on the ground. The ground was so cold that his blood became cold, and he became an abandoned corpse.

The Zhou division failed to break through, but caused a lot of losses to the Japanese army.

This act of death thoroughly angered the Japanese military.General Takashi Lingkari was very dissatisfied with this, and it was really thankless for the soldiers of the two divisions to delay here.For this reason, he ruthlessly raped Jinxin Yaqing, but Jinxin refused to back down except for sincerely admitting his mistakes, insisting on besieging the city and refusing to attack by force.

There was a conflict within the military headquarters. Masahiro Imanobu was already under pressure from Muto, and even General Takashi Hishikari was very dissatisfied with him.

But there is no way, for several years, he only had such a chance to catch his son.

Not only did he attempt a sneak attack, but he actually planned to secretly bribe Zhou Lan's guards and tie him up, but who would have thought that Zhou Lan's guards were so rigid that they couldn't insert needles at all.

The staff department was in a quarrel, Muto slapped the table and yelled at Imanobu, sarcastically mocking his mistakes in Kanto, saying that he shot himself in the foot with a stone, and spent great efforts to train an elite division, but slapped himself.Now that people are besieged in the city, he can't even eat, so why not take off his military uniform and go home to clean up.

Muto threw the riding boots on the table in front of Imanobu, telling him to retire early and go home to polish his shoes.

Imanobu's hand holding the saber turned white. If it wasn't for his son, he would not have endured the humiliation of a young man.

Hishikari Takashi was dissatisfied with Jinshin's actions. However, Jinshin is a veteran after all, so he can't be easily dismissed. He could only slap the two sweet dates, and forcibly withdrew most of the troops besieging the city, leaving some Japanese troops to continue the siege. At the same time, he ordered If the ancient city cannot be surrounded within a week, the general will be replaced.

Under the heavy pressure of Jinxin, he could only compromise. It was not too difficult for the remaining [-] Japanese troops to surround a small city with the poor bandits who had basically lost their combat effectiveness.

If it takes a week, it may not take a week at all, and people will faint from hunger.

Just when the siege troops were transferred away, Nobuyoshi Muto came up with a bad idea. He, a young military officer, regarded the moderates of the older generation as thorns in his flesh, and wanted to drive these old bones out of the political arena.

So behind his back, he suggested a "wonderful solution" to General Hishikari Takashi.

Not only is he armed with a division, but he also has the authority to mobilize fighter jets at Tianjin Airport. He just wants to take this high ground that Yaqing can't take, and show those old bones that their time is over.

Hishikari Takashi is also willing to use factional struggles to stabilize his commanding position. After all, the military department is so crazy that even the cabinet is ignored. As the commander-in-chief, he must weigh the interests and increase the stability of his own existence in the struggle between the young and the moderate.

He Si rushed back to Henan in a hurry, but the division staff went to Loukong, leaving only a logistics battalion to guard, and asked the battalion commander who was in charge, the battalion commander had lost contact with the Zhou division for the reinforcements. reported.

Without even thinking about it, He Si picked up a squad of soldiers and set off without stopping.

He and Du Yunfeng split into two groups and set off for the same destination.

Du Yunfeng brought three to 400 people. He was in a hurry and didn't bring any heavy weapons, which were better than bare hands.

He Si only has a dozen people - if he can find someone, he can rescue them himself, if he can't find them, tens of thousands of people are superfluous.

However, they hurried and hurried, but they were still a step too late.

In the north in September, autumn is crisp and clear.

Nobuyoshi Muto picked a sunny day with no clouds in the sky, and gave Masaharu Imanobu a thunderbolt from the blue.He mobilized [-] bombers from Tianjin Airport and suddenly launched an attack on Zhou County.

Pity a small Zhou County with a radius of only a few miles. Many people have never seen man-made flying objects other than kites overhead. On this sunny autumn afternoon, the sound of rumbling motors sounded over the small county town. , from far to near.

Overwhelming like locusts.

The Japanese troops besieging the city only knew about it when they saw their country's national flag on the roaring planes, and immediately reported it.

By the time Konnobu figured out what was going on and called Nobuyoshi Muto to stop it, the bombing had already begun.

□□With the gasoline pouring down, all the houses and woodlands have been intensively attacked.

Master Zhou had nowhere to escape.

□□ burst, and □□ exploded in all directions.

In the small Zhou County, a sea of ​​flames burned into a purgatory on earth under the bright autumn sun.

The entire city was destroyed, regardless of the county government and residential buildings. The Yellow River Dam on the outskirts of the city was blown up and a big hole was left.

The fire spread everywhere, and the Zhou division's soldiers ran around looking for shelter, but they all turned into moving fireballs, flaming with teeth and claws, screaming in pain.

Zhou Lan's dilapidated house was the first one to visit. The dilapidated temple couldn't even block the wind and rain, not to mention the solid dick, which was the first to burn and explode.

The guard squad was killed on the spot, and when the remaining people dragged the bleeding Zhou Lan out of the ruins, a burning beam rolled down and pressed tightly on his thigh.

The guards moved the red-hot beam with bare hands, and a gun fell down immediately, and the air wave swept everything with flames in an instant.

Zhou Lan only felt the red light of a big fire flashing in front of his eyes, so he didn't know anything.

When He Si arrived, it was the time when the bombing was the most intense. The Japanese defenders outside the city were all watching the fun.

Jinxin couldn't stop the bombing, so his soldiers couldn't go into the city to search for people. They were all laughing and waiting for the bombing to end to carry the corpse.

He Si is crazy.

The slackness of the Japanese army gave him a chance. There were few others, and he killed several weak defenses by surprise. He sneaked into the city along the newly opened river.

The river was deep and the water was fast, but fortunately he went downstream, and he entered the village before he choked to death.

Everywhere is exploding and burning, and every second he lives is based on luck.

The air was hot, his lungs hurt when he breathed it in, and the smoke was billowing. He couldn't find his way in the strange ruins, his hair and eyebrows were singed off, but he didn't realize it.

Some of the soldiers who came with him were killed on the spot, and some sneaked away in fear, so he didn't care, all his thoughts were on finding someone.

When he saw a corpse wearing the clothes of the security squad, his heart beat extremely violently. If Zhou Lan was in the city, the security squad must be the closest person to him.

Dead bodies were everywhere, all burned to black charcoal.

I can't recognize who is who, they are all charred corpses, like burnt steamed buns, all black.

Only those incorruptible collar pins and hat badges were scattered on the ground, and all the dead guards under their feet.

What about Zhou Lan?

He Si shouted loudly, but there was only a hoarse neighing.

He went through it with bare hands, and the burnt corpses were blurry, and they were all clenched into fists, and it was impossible to see who was missing a finger.

At his feet was a pile of corpses, a mountain of human bones. He bent over, turned over on his knees, turned over on his stomach.

The world is so big, his brother and his Zhou Lan were burned into a ball of black charcoal.

There were wailing sounds from time to time, and He Si rushed over to pull the man out, seeing his face clearly disappointed, he asked hoarsely, "Where is the teacher seat?"

And the man just yelled help me save me.

He Si left him and continued looking.

The bomb exploded and knocked him to the ground. The clothes on his back caught fire. He couldn't extinguish the gasoline fire by rolling on the spot. He tore off his clothes desperately, and a layer of skin was burned off his back in an instant.

With sharp pain in his back, he fell into the pile of corpses, a pile of dead corpses under his feet, he sank in with one foot, and a large steel nail from the collapsed beam pierced his calf, he struggled to pull his leg out, sparing a stream of blood □□.

And the fat of those indifferent corpses turned into liquid, exuding a terrifying smell of meat.

Those corpses were piled on top of each other, deadly. He struggled to sit up and pushed them away, revealing the mutilated corners of the unburned guard uniforms.

Those who died together were all soldiers from the security squad.

He Si realized something and removed the charred black corpse on the top. Inside was Li Guosheng with half of his face burned.

"Guosheng! Guosheng!" He Si pulled him out by the collar, patted him, and squeezed his neck again, his heartbeat had long since disappeared.

He put down Li Guosheng and continued to move the body amidst the explosion of gunfire.

It turned out that there was a well below, and an unconscious person was hanging under the stretched well rope.

He Si was bare-chested, exerting all his strength to nurse, and dragged him up with both hands upside down on the well rope.

His guard squad, at the critical moment of life and death, tried their best to protect the division seat.

He Si dragged the unconscious Zhou Lan out. He wanted to go out along the river, which was the only way to survive.

But entering the city is downstream, leaving the city is upstream.

Some soldiers climbed into the river, thumped for a while without any strength, and drowned alive.

He Si had no strength left, his legs were bleeding all the time, he lost consciousness after soaking in the river water, his eyes turned white for a while, but he still tried his best to hold on.

Zhou Lan is still alive, but he has been smoked for too long and is unconscious, but He Si dared to feel a strong heartbeat when he hugged him.

Holding him down the river, he waded out along the current, and the water got deeper and deeper. He hugged Zhou Lan horizontally, and put the other's head on his shoulders.

His steps are slow, and he walks entirely by willpower.

He reckoned that he would not be able to get out, his feet weighed a thousand catties, and the river water was getting deeper and deeper, pouring it into his stomach mouthful, choking him so much that his brain hurt.

Seeing that they were approaching the city wall, gunfire rang out suddenly, and the machine gun mounted in the distance swept the floating corpses on the river.

It turned out that the Japanese soldiers he killed when he came in were quickly discovered.

Even the slim hope of escape in the river channel was extinguished.

He could only retreat, away from the range of machine gun fire, he dragged Zhou Lan desperately into the bushes by the river, a small weed of grass became their protection.

There is nowhere to go.

He also has no strength, his legs are bleeding, and the grass is red.

He put his arms around Zhou Lan, touched the other's smoky face, and washed his face with a little river water.

"You're stupid." He Si said, and after he said that, he and Zhou Lan were cheek to cheek, and his hot tears rolled onto Zhou Lan's cold watered face.

"I don't rape either." He murmured.

Looking down, he couldn't bear to see that Zhou Lan's leg was crippled.

But it doesn't matter.

The bombing was still going on, they didn't know how long they had been nesting in this side of wormwood, as if time had stood still, as if the blasted outside world had nothing to do with them, He Si felt extremely calm.

He found him.

In his tight embrace, Zhou Lan finally woke up.

He opened his eyes and looked at He Si, who also looked at him.

"I don't blame you." He Si said suddenly.

Zhou Lan's eyes were red.

He raised his hand and carefully took out the letter from his inner pocket, which he thought He Si might not be able to see after his death.

He Si opened it, glanced at it, and threw it into the river. He said again: "I know you love me, and I don't blame you."

Zhou Lan smiled.

"I still have bullets in my gun. I cannot be captured alive by the Japanese." Zhou Lan said with a smile.

He Si: "OK."

Zhou Lan raised the gun and aimed at his temple. He was smiling, and He Si was smiling with him.

"I'll be with you." He Si pulled out his own gun.

The author has something to say:

I sent this out at work first, and felt relieved that the most important task of the day had been completed.It will be around 10 o'clock tomorrow.
