Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

After defeating Wangshantun, Li Weiguo organized his troops and marched quickly 60 miles east of Hutoushan, where there was a Japanese railway station under construction.

Since the Punitive Army settled in Hutou Mountain, they have gone down the mountain many times to tear up the railway. All the railways within a hundred miles of Hutou Mountain have been completely torn up.

The Japanese invaders had to use railways to maintain their rule after occupying the Northeast, so the Punitive Army demolished the railways while they were repairing them. They built many stations, and Zhoujiatun was one of the locations chosen by the Japanese invaders to build the stations.

Zhoujiatun originally had more than 400 households, all of whom were local farmers. They lived a peaceful life, but were eventually colonized by the Japanese pioneer group.

The Japanese pioneers came here to plunder. They couldn't just abandon the houses and land that the locals had already built and go to the wild mountains to reclaim new land, right? So the locals suffered.

At that time, the Japanese pioneer group consisted of 300 young and strong men with guns, and thousands of Japanese relatives. These Japanese pioneers were more brutal than the Japanese soldiers. They entered the village and killed anyone they saw.

When the village chief of Zhoujiatun heard someone say that the Japanese were coming, he prepared supplies and hoped that the soldiers would take the things and leave quickly. However, it turned out that the people who came this time were not Japanese soldiers, but a pioneer group who wanted to take their lives. Zhoujiatun suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the villagers were killed.

The remaining dozens of young and strong men fled into the mountains. Many of them witnessed the killing of their own families. Driven by hatred, they began to fight guerrilla warfare to retaliate against the Japanese.

From time to time, they would go down the mountain at night to kill the Japanese, but they didn't even have iron tools, so they could only wait until the lone Japanese were hit to death with stones. They were often discovered by the pioneer groups and chased and killed by the Japanese pioneer groups. After persisting for several months, with the snow, this group of people could no longer hold on and planned to find a way out.

They knew that the terrain of Hutou Mountain was rugged and there were bandits in the mountain, so they planned to surrender to the bandits, get guns and then kill the devils. As a result, they were absorbed into the punitive army.

These people told the Punitive Army that when they were fighting guerrilla warfare, they discovered that the Japanese were carrying out a large project. After the Punitive Army officers asked for details, they learned that the Japanese were planning to build a large railway station in Zhoujiatun. The Punishment Army planned to destroy the station and confiscate the supplies there.

It was 6 o'clock in the afternoon when Li Weiguo led his troops to a village 30 miles away from Zhoujiatun. He had to order them to set up camp, otherwise the cold wind at night might freeze everyone to death.

Marching in winter was more difficult than he had imagined. Not only was the road blocked by heavy snow, but the soldiers' physical exertion during the march was also several times more than usual.

Li Weiguo relied on the advantages of a semi-mechanized and semi-mule-horse army to walk for a few more hours. As a result, it was getting dark quickly and the temperature dropped sharply. He planned to set up camp early tomorrow. As for the village in front of him with smoke rising from cooking and the Japanese flag hanging...

Li Jianfeng waved his hand and a team of punitive soldiers rushed into the village. Soon, gunfire broke out in the village. Ten minutes later, the gunfire stopped. More than 10 young and strong men from the Japanese open-door regiment who looked terrified and kept cursing were handcuffed by Tao Gang and forced out in a string.

Following the Japanese were 100 local villagers who were dressed like beggars, had sunken eye sockets, protruding cheekbones, and were as hungry as skeletons.

Li Weiguo walked up to these 100 people and lamented in his heart that the Japanese had occupied the Northeast for less than half a year, and these people were killed like zombies.

Li Jianfeng swept his eyes across the faces of everyone present and shouted, "I am Li Weiguo, the commander-in-chief of the Punishment Army. We are China's own armed forces. Now, you have been liberated! You are free!"

As expected, Li Weiguo was greeted with silence. People will become numb after being tortured for a long time. Even if they are free now, there is no way to bring a trace of life to their numb eyes.

Li Weiguo sighed, he had seen a lot of people like this. Before, when the Punishment Army went down the mountain to dig up the railway, they encountered many villages occupied by pioneer groups near the railway. They killed the pioneer group devils and released many of these people who would not say a word even when tortured.

These people have suffered huge psychological trauma. Even if they are taken back to Hutoushan and given good food and drink, many of them still commit suicide.

Li Weiguo had no choice. The country was in ruins and he could only ask the soldiers to prepare food for 100 more people and send a squad to take them back to Hutoushan at dawn tomorrow.

He was just about to leave to set up the camp when he suddenly heard a Japanese soldier who was forced to kneel on the ground swearing in Chinese.

"Baga! You despicable sneak attackers! You will not die a good death. It won't be long before the imperial warriors will wipe you all out! We will make you all slaves to plow the land for us, and your women will all become our reproductive tools! You..."

boom!

Li Weiguo quickly took out the revolver from his waist and shot the devil's head open.

This action caused a commotion among the silent villagers, and light suddenly appeared in their tortured and lifeless eyes.

Li Weiguo was about to put away his gun when a villager suddenly broke away from the team and walked up to him.

"Sir, can you lend me your weapon?"

Li Weiguo's brows moved slightly, looking at the murderous intent in the man's eyes, he handed the pistol over without hesitation.

But the man shook his head and pointed at the bayonet on Li Jianfeng's waist.

"Sir, I don't know how to use a gun, let me use that."

Li Weiguo put away his pistol, pulled out the bayonet from his waist and put it in his hand.

The man gripped the bayonet, his breathing suddenly became heavy, a bloody light flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and pounced on the group of Japanese devils like a leopard.

He pinned a Japanese soldier to the ground and stabbed him with his bayonet like crazy, screaming and howling like a madman.

The Japanese soldier's face was full of horror, and he was stabbed into a bloody gourd in the blink of an eye. Blood foam was gurgling from his mouth. He didn't even have the strength to resist, and became a corpse in the blink of an eye.

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

The man howled and began to kill the surrounding Japanese soldiers with his bayonet. The surrounding Japanese soldiers were frightened and wanted to run away, but their hands were handcuffed with ceramic steel handcuffs by the punitive soldiers, so they could not run away at all. Three or four of them were stabbed down in an instant.

Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction. This kind of violent hatred is the best medicine to save the country!

He looked at the villagers standing there and found that they were also ready to make a move, so he ordered the surrounding punishment soldiers: "Give them the bayonets!"

The punitive soldiers pulled out their bayonets and handed them to them. As soon as the villagers got the bayonets, they suddenly turned into crazy people and rushed into the group of Japanese devils, stabbing and killing them indiscriminately. More than 30 Japanese devils were torn into pieces by 100 crazy guys in a blink of an eye.

After all the Japanese were cut into pieces, 100 blood-stained men lay on the ground wailing and crying. Even though they had taken revenge, their wives and children at home could not come back!

Li Weiguo walked to the man who borrowed a knife from him. The man was now exhausted and lying among a pile of internal organs. His tattered cotton jacket was stained with blood and had frozen into ice lumps. His face was also covered in blood. He was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face. He was lying on the ground, panting, as if there was a piece of phlegm stuck in his throat.

The two looked at each other, and Li Weiguo asked, "How about being my soldier?"

The man staggered to his feet, knelt on his knees, and held the knife in both hands.

"Commander, Cao Yongqiang, listen to your orders."

Li Weiguo took the knife and swung it hard, easily shaking off the blood clots on the knife. He then put the knife back into the man's hand, then grabbed the man's shoulders and pulled him up from the ground.

"My first order to you is that you are not allowed to kneel down. My second order is that you take these 100 people to report to Hutou Mountain tomorrow."
