He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

To reach Chengdu quickly, Leyou drove directly north across the Jiangxi-Gansu border region and soon entered the Jiangxi-Gansu area. In the past two days, Jingxian has also become quite skilled at riding her motorcycle.

After cycling for a few more kilometers, Leyou slowed down and carefully looked at a group of people in the distance ahead, vaguely seeing yellow clothes and hearing intermittent chattering.

Leyou turned to his master and Mulan and said:

"There should be a small Japanese squad ahead. Jingxian, let's approach slowly and then accelerate when we get closer."

Once you're within firing range, fire hard. Huang Ying, you're in the back, so be careful when you fire, don't fall off.

Master, are you alright?

"Hmph, you'd be better off worrying about yourself than me."

"All right"

"Boom boom boom"

The Japanese soldiers ahead, hearing the sound of the motorcycle and seeing it, assumed it was one of their own and started taking off their hats and waving. Seeing this, Leyou immediately revved the engine and drove off at the Japanese.

"Enemy attack!"

"idiot!"

As they got closer, the Japanese soldiers could see Leyou and his group clearly and shouted loudly.

"shot!"

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

Led by Leyou, the two motorcycles weaved through the Japanese squad and took down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in one go.

"Mulan, Huang Ying, get out of the car and search the corpse. Put the gun in the side pocket."

Master and Leyou were warily watching their surroundings.

Soon there were more than a dozen Type 38 rifles, a few packs of cigarettes, some silver dollars, a few boxes of ammunition, and about ten Type 97 hand grenades (melon-shaped).

Leyou accepted the cigarettes and silver dollars, distributed two hand grenades to each person, and taught them how to use them.

Just tap the grenade against a hard surface and then throw it, and that'll do the trick.

Then he had Huang Ying pick up five Type 90 steel helmets, one for each person, and continued riding forward.

Along the way, Leyou and his men used this method to wipe out two Japanese squads, and they also acquired about thirty Type 38 rifles and nearly forty hand grenades, while all the guns were strapped to Jingxian's back seat.

"buzzing"

"buzzing"

Upon hearing the sound, Leyou looked up at the sky and shouted:

"This is a Japanese plane."

"Everyone be careful, there might be a large number of Japanese soldiers nearby."

After saying that, Leyou adjusted the direction of the car and rode towards the edge of the woods.

"Senior brother, there seems to be a house ahead."

Huang Ying said from the back.

"Everyone be careful."

As Leyou and the others slowly approached the village ahead, they discovered that it had already been bombed by Japanese planes.

Everywhere were ruins and broken walls, and some villagers lay motionless on the ground, while some women lay on the ground with their lower bodies exposed and their faces covered in blood.

As Leyou and his companions ventured deeper, they came across several elderly people covered in wounds kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Before me lay corpses, some without hands or feet, some without heads, some disemboweled, and some with severed infant hands on the millstones…

Seeing the terrible scene, Jingxian and the other two girls were so frightened that they vomited violently.

Leyou nodded to his master, who then walked over to Huang Ying, took the submachine gun, and patrolled the surrounding area.

"Fellow villager, I'm sorry we're late!"

"woooooo"

"Let's help our fellow villagers get properly buried first, then we can make other plans. Otherwise, they won't be able to rest in peace."

After hearing Leyou's words, the remaining old people stopped crying and nodded in agreement.

So Leyou led the three old men to find some shovels, went out of the village, walked 20 meters west, and started digging a pit.

The remaining elderly people also began to carry out the bodies one by one.

After recovering, Jingxian rode her motorcycle to the village entrance, while her master stood guard about 50 meters ahead of the entrance.

As darkness fell, Leyou rubbed his aching back and nodded to the women.

Just as I was about to ask them to take some food from their bundles, I heard my master fire a gun in the distance and shout:

Who goes there!

Leyou dropped the shovel, drew his samurai sword, grabbed a Type 38 rifle from the car, and ran quickly toward his master.

"Don't shoot, we are villagers from nearby."

"Hmph, step forward one by one, don't try anything funny!"

After the master finished speaking, he walked diagonally to the right.

Several elderly people who heard the noise followed.

"It's Gouwa,"

"Erdan is here too."

"Ah, you've arrived too late. There are only a few of us left in the village,"

"Erdan, your mother and wife went too."

……

Hearing this, Leyou and his master breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people ran over from a distance, knelt on the ground, and cried out:

"Elder, where is my father?"

"Elder, where is my child? Has he been found?"

"Elder, have you seen my wife?"

……

“They are all gone.”

"They were all killed by those damned Japanese devils."

Suddenly, a chorus of cries erupted, and a dozen or so young men carrying guns ran up from behind, looking down at the scene.

Several elderly people walked towards the Leyou "plop" (a playful, rhythmic sound).

Several people knelt down and said:

"Thank you for helping our villagers to be laid to rest. I thank you on their behalf."

"Old folks, please get up quickly! It's just a pity we can't kill all these Japanese devils. If I'm not mistaken..."

Those thirty or so Japanese soldiers we killed earlier were the murderers; they got off too easily.

Upon seeing this, Leyou quickly stepped forward to help the elderly people up.

"May I ask your name, sir? We will never forget this kindness."

"I know that. My senior brother is the chivalrous hero of Ji'an Township, the renowned 2nd Company Commander of the Yunnan Expedition, known as Little Mengchang."

Before Leyou could speak, Huangying jumped out from behind and said something.

The master watched this scene, stroking his beard and smiling without saying a word.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so villagers kneeling nearby immediately knelt down and cried out:

"Sir, lead us to kill the Japanese devils! I want to avenge my family!"

"Sir, please help us!"

……

Leyou glanced back at his master, gritted his teeth, and said:

"I'll be here for a while, but not for long. I have over thirty guns in my car; you can divide them up."

"How come there are so many of you all together..."

At this moment, a young man stepped forward from behind and said:

"Sir, we are from several villages and are part of the joint defense team."

"Haha, good! Only by saving ourselves can we save everyone. Let's find a place to rest and eat something to have the strength."

Leyou called Mulan over and took a bundle. They found a larger house at the village entrance and took out the food. Then, when no one was looking, they took some more food from their spatial storage.

The youths split into four groups, spreading out to keep watch at varying distances.

The others touched their newly acquired Type 38 rifles, tears streaming down their faces as their eyes gradually hardened.

After dinner, they took turns keeping watch, and soon it was dawn.

Leyou and his group rode their bikes to the gathering place with the team members.

"Oh no!"

"Oh no!"

"Many villagers are crossing the river on the east side, but many Japanese soldiers are chasing them from behind!"

When Leyou arrived, he saw a young man run a few steps and fall down, then get up and run back and fall down again, all he could do was shout loudly.

"A few of you, lead the way and come with me. You need to know how to shoot. Master, you wait here for me to come back!"

"No, I want to go too. I need to ride a bike, otherwise who will?"

"We want to go too!"

Seeing that his master nodded, Leyou could only take Jingxian and the other ten team members on two three-wheeled motorcycles and head towards the river.

"Boom boom boom"

Before they even arrived at their destination, they heard a mixture of crying, screams, and howls from the Japanese soldiers.

As they approached, everyone's eyes widened in anger.

Large crowds of people were packed tightly together along the riverbank, crowding towards the bridge.

Some Japanese soldiers raised their bayonets and began stabbing the villagers behind them.

Some women were already being pinned down by the Japanese soldiers and were struggling incessantly.

Many villagers on the bridge also fell into pools of blood, and many of their corpses floated in the river.

Many villagers, upon seeing the ferocious enemy before even reaching the bridge, jumped into the river in terror.

"Fellow villagers, all of you, lie down!"

However, Leyou's roar sounded very faint amidst the mixed sounds.

Left with no other option, Leyou could only remove the light machine gun from his sidecar and run towards the bridge.

"Find cover, and be careful!"
