"You traitor dogs, you little devils! You are a bunch of demons. You have so cruelly destroyed our homes and mutilated our bodies, but do you really think you can completely conquer us like this? Don't even think about it! It's absolutely impossible!"

The woman's body was covered in shocking bloodstains. Her originally fair face had now turned extremely pale, while the bloodstains at the corners of her mouth and the bruises on her cheeks only served to highlight her tenacity and indomitable spirit.

She straightened her spine, held her head high, and spoke in a firm and loud voice to those hateful traitors and Japanese devils in Mandarin, "Open your eyes and take a good look! The people standing before you are upright Chinese sons and daughters! No matter how hard you try, no matter how many tricks you use, you can never make us succumb to your tyranny!"

"Even if I unfortunately die today, there will be thousands and thousands of Chinese sons and daughters who are as brave and fearless as me who will stand up! One after another, and never retreat!!!"

When the people in the audience heard the woman's passionate and generous words, their eyes were filled with tears and red.

Especially the elderly and frail elderly people, women and children, they felt heartbroken and could not bear to witness the suffering of the brave woman on the stage.

You know, in this chaotic world of war, everyone knows very well what kind of inhumane torture and destruction the women will face once they are captured by the brutal Japanese devils.

However, precisely because they were fully aware of the tragedy involved, they could not bear to see their fellow sisters being subjected to such inhuman treatment.

The men standing on the platform also shouted loudly.

“We are not afraid of sacrifice!”

"Even if we die, our motherland will remember us!"

"Our loved ones will remember us too!"

"It is people like us who let the devils know that our country is extremely powerful and will not tolerate humiliation!!!"

"Long live China!"

"The Chinese people, stand up!!!"

……

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Jiang Jiyun stared with wide eyes in horror at what was happening before his eyes.

Those patriots who were once full of passion and dedicated to serving the country are now falling one after another in a pool of blood. The tragedy is unbearable to watch.

The originally noisy crowd below the stage fell into deathly silence in an instant. When the first gunshot pierced the sky, everyone squatted down in fear as if they were cast under a spell.

They trembled all over, covered their ears tightly with their hands and closed their eyes, afraid to see or hear any trace of blood and terror.

The Imperial Army standing nearby walked forward expressionlessly and roughly dragged the still warm corpses onto the wooden carts. The creaking sounds they made as they pushed the carts sounded like the last wail of the dead, which was heartbreaking.

The Japanese majors, captains and lieutenants on the stage glanced coldly at the group of frightened civilians huddled together below the stage, then turned and left.

They seemed to want to use this method to demonstrate to those who dared to attack them last night: if anyone else dared to lend a helping hand to save those reactionaries, it would only accelerate the process of more innocent people heading towards the abyss of death.

The crowd slowly dispersed. Jiang Jiyun watched the common people leave with sad and decadent faces, and a feeling of powerlessness emerged in his heart again.

These people knew clearly what those young people were doing, but those traitors and devils left them no way to survive!

Jiang Jiyun followed the crowd forward, she followed these people numbly.

"Well…"

Suddenly, a man jumped out from the side room, covered Jiang Jiyun's mouth and carried her into the house.

Just when she was about to fight back, she saw a familiar face: her eldest brother's political commissar Chen Fuchang.

"Little girl, why are you here alone? Where are your family members? Have they lost you?" Chen Fuchang anxiously asked the child with red eyes.

"Uncles, why are you here? The Japanese just killed many brothers and sisters, why didn't you bring anyone to rescue them?"

Chen Fuchang and the others were silent. It was not that they were afraid of death. It was just that even if they went out, they would not be able to save those martyrs. Instead, they would cause the people to suffer a large-scale massacre.

"I'm sorry!" Chen Fuchang said in a trembling voice.

Jiang Jiyun knew that he was being unreasonable. If he rushed over to save people without considering the consequences in that situation, more people would die, and it would also implicate the common people.

"I'm sorry, I was emotionally unstable!" Jiang Jiyun apologized quickly.

"Don't cry, child. We know you didn't mean it. Eat something to fill your stomach first." A woman brought a bowl of porridge and asked her to sit down.

Jiang Jiyun was holding a bowl of porridge in which you could see your reflection. Although she had been here for several months, she had never drunk porridge that tasted like water, so she gritted her teeth and drank it.

"Aren't you in the county town under Tongzhou City? How come you are here again? This is Jingjiang County, which is a long way away." Chen Fuchang asked the child who had just finished drinking the porridge.

Jiang Jiyun told them what happened yesterday. They were all extremely surprised. They all knew that a regiment of the Japanese army was going to aid Tongzhou, but they did not expect that they would be dealt with by Lao Song and Lao Hong halfway.

"You were brought here hanging on the Japanese vehicle like this?" Guo Changwu looked at the child in disbelief.

"Yes, it's true. Some of the Japanese have escaped back." Jiang Jiyun answered affirmatively.

"Old Guo, most of the soldiers are lying in ambush outside the city and are ready to attack at any time. There are only a few of us in the city and we can't protect so many civilians. I'm worried that the Japanese will be desperate and massacre the city. What will happen to the civilians then?" Wu Tao asked, clenching his hands.

"How many Japanese soldiers are there here? My brother and the others will definitely come to rescue me. There will be someone there by then."

"Silly child, your brother can only come with Ma Chao and the others. The troops over there can't save the people in this city! Besides, there is also a regiment of Japanese here. They are well-armed. We can only fight hard in this battle!"

"Brother Ma Chao has already gone to H City. My brother is with others. They are also very powerful!"

After Jiang Jiyun finished speaking, he realized that it was a regiment, which consisted of three infantry battalions, an artillery squadron, and a machine gun squadron, about three to four thousand people, plus the Japanese soldiers who had just escaped, there were about four to five thousand people in total.

"At night, our people will go and inform the people to hide themselves. We will start the attack. Contact Captain Guo and we will cooperate inside and outside to kill these invaders in one fell swoop."

Jiang Jiyun listened to his arrangements and felt that he should go out and do something for the Japanese. Otherwise, with so many weapons and ammunition, many people would be sacrificed in this battle.

"Auntie, I want to go to the toilet!" Jiang Jiyun was ready to leave.
