Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Jiang Wenming seemed to be struck by lightning. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud.

So that's how it is. He thought of the look of disbelief, astonishment and shock on his second sister-in-law's face when she heard his wife praising her suturing skills.

Just thinking about it made him realize that was his wife's way of encouraging him.

Seeing that his uncle's smile was a little unnatural, Jiang Jiyun said directly: "After you have the surgery to remove the bullet, just drip the special medicine into the wound. There is no need to sew it up."

Jiang Wenming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he nodded with a look of regret and said, "Well, all right! In that case, I won't sew it up. I'll just simply bandage it with gauze so that others can't tell that the wound has healed."

While they were talking, Ma Chao and others on the other side had successfully ended the fierce battle and rushed back to reinforce.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they found that the battle here had ended long before they arrived.

I saw two figures sitting on the ground in a miserable state like beggars, sorting out the piled up belongings.

At the same time, Dong Duoyu squatted alone beside the fire, concentrating on sorting out the captured guns.

I saw her skillfully classifying and placing the guns one by one: those that were intact and could be used normally were placed together; those that were slightly damaged but could still be used in combat after repair were put in another pile; as for those that were completely scrapped and could no longer be repaired and used, they were put aside separately.

"Uncle, Xiaoyun, are you injured?" Ma Chao walked over and asked.

Jiang Jiyun looked at a group of people who were in a more miserable state than himself and sighed, "This battle is really a waste of clothes."

Xu Fan, Zhao Huashan and others acted quickly and went together to help Dong Duoyu to carefully sort the guns.

On the other side, Chen Meng and others were responsible for cleaning up the Japanese corpses left on the battlefield.

Jiang Wenming pointed to a large pit not far away and said, "There's a large pit over there. That's where the devils buried our innocent people alive. Just throw the bodies of these beasts there!"

Qi Feng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted angrily, "Is there such a cruel thing happening here?"

Jiang Jiyun, who was standing by, noticed the word "also" in his words and asked quickly, "Did you find something similar over there?"

Sun Jiaguo nodded solemnly and replied with a trembling voice: "It was the same over there. Although the guerrillas arrived in time, these inhumane devils failed to bury all the civilians. But they crazily fired machine guns at the crowd and even kept throwing grenades into the pit. As a result... there were basically no civilians left alive over there."

Having said this, Sun Jiaguo could no longer suppress his inner grief, and his eyes gradually became moist.

When Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyun heard the bad news, their bodies trembled violently, and the things they were holding in their hands fell to the ground instantly.

Jiang Wenming's lips trembled as he asked with difficulty, "Then do you know how many people died?"

Ma Chao closed his eyes tightly. The horrific scene in the pit kept appearing in his mind. He was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "The guerrillas are still counting the exact number of deaths, but I just took a quick look at the big pit and estimated that the number of victims inside is definitely no less than 3,000!"

After saying this, the scene fell into dead silence, with only a few occasional sighs of grief and anger echoing in the air.

"There were almost a thousand people buried alive here, but only about two hundred were successfully rescued and lucky enough to survive." Dong Duoyu reported this heartbreaking number with a heavy face.

After hearing the news, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but sigh deeply. She knew very well that what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

There are probably many more mass graves like this in places they cannot reach.

Thinking of this, she felt a sense of sadness rising from the bottom of her heart. Her efforts were still too weak.

At this time, Jiang Wenming frowned and asked Ma Chao: "Have you found out why the Japanese suddenly wanted to kill so many innocent people? According to common sense, they should not have just arrived here, right? If they really wanted to kill and put these people to death, why didn't they do it earlier? Why wait until now?"

Facing the question raised by Jiang Wenming, Jiang Jiyun thought for a while, and then guessed: "Uncle, I think it may be related to the current season."

"Now is the end of spring planting, and coupled with the continued drought, water and food resources have become extremely tight. Perhaps those devils are here to rob all the food and water resources."

After listening to Jiang Jiyun's speculation, Ma Chao turned to look at her, only to see that her face was full of solemnity.

He nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with her opinion, and then said, "Xiao Yun is right. The guerrillas have already found a suitable place in the mountains where they can safely store water and food. We must leave here as soon as possible without delay."

"Even this city so close to Yu Province has become like this. I can't imagine how bad the situation is in Yu Province!"

Xu Fan couldn't hide the worry in his eyes any more. Dong Duoyu saw it and asked, "Are you worried about your family?"

"Yes, that's right, my home is in Xinshi! But what has it become like now? I don't even know if my family is still alive..." Xu Fan muttered to himself, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the gun a little more, as if this could make him feel a little more at ease.

Ma Chao on the side nodded in agreement and said in a heavy tone: "Yes, we have to act quickly. Put these things away first, and then rush over without stopping."

"Those little devils must have noticed something. If we allow them to continue to rob food and water, the consequences will be disastrous. I don't know how many innocent people will suffer and die!"

Jiang Wenming struggled to stand up and said, "Then let me take the bullet out for you first?"

Jiang Jiyun refused and said, "No, Brother Ma and I will go to work first, and we can get it back after we are done. Uncle, do you want to wait for me to come back to get your bullets or let Brother Xu and the others do it?"

"I'll wait for you to come back. I can still move now and won't cause much trouble. I'll help clean up the battlefield. Ma Chao, Xiaoyun has bullets stuck in her arm and leg bones. You should still carry her on your back!" Jiang Wenming stood up and instructed Ma Chao.

"There are still living people in this pit!" When Sun Bao was dragging the dead body of the Japanese soldier and preparing to throw it in, he saw a body move and shouted.
