The War of Resistance

Crying came from the mountain col. From the hillside outside the village, people could be seen leaving the village, and the crying came from the ranks of the people.

As the people got closer and closer, their cries naturally became louder and louder, and they turned out to be running towards the northern hillside.

The reason why I say I came instead of going is because there are several pairs of sinister eyes in the woods on the hillside watching those people.

Of course, common people are just what the Chinese call themselves. Those lurkers on the hillside call those common people "China people."

Although there are only a few dozen families in the village, since the village has not yet been massacred by the Japanese army on a large scale, the population of each family is still relatively large, and although the people coming out are not uniform, they are sparse and there is a long corridor. .

As the people approached, the lurkers on the mountain also understood that it was the people in the village who were in mourning.

As for why people go out for funerals, do you still need to ask? The dead people carried by the villagers were the sins committed by the lurkers.

None of the lurkers on the hillside moved, and they just looked at the scene in front of them indifferently.

If these Chinese people dare to go up the mountain, and if they are discovered after being carefully disguised, then they will not mind killing a few more Chinese people and scaring those Chinese people back to the village.

But if they are not discovered, they will continue to lurk and wait for the night to fall.

Just because according to the instructions of their captain, these people have to take turns to fight until all the people in the village are killed.

Yes, this is their captain's hunting plan, to create terror through killing and stabbing, so that the Chinese people will desperately think of ways to escape in such terror, but they can't escape and can only watch them. People in the village died one by one in front of them.

Of course, those Chinese people may resist.

But what does the resistance of the Chinese people mean? Is that the sheep fighting the wolf, banging their heads up? It’s ridiculous to think about it.

If the Chinese people don't resist at all, it will disappoint them.

It's just that no matter how they resist, they are just ordinary Chinese people. If they, the ninjas in the Imperial Japanese Army, can't even kill ordinary people, how can they spy on military intelligence and fight against the Chinese army in the future?

The mourners had already reached the foot of the mountain, and then started digging holes as they went up.

It seemed that they had no intention of going up the mountain. Although the lurkers on the mountain were only forty or fifty meters away from the people, the woods were dense and they had disguised themselves. Naturally, they felt relieved that they had nothing to worry about, so they saw it. Chinese funeral process.

The war was a process. The Japanese first occupied the three eastern provinces, then Shanghai, Shandong in the east and Shanxi in the east. At this time, the Japanese army's evil reputation also spread.

Just hearing that it was one thing, but now that more than a dozen people in their village were killed by the Japanese army, it was another thing.

In peacetime, when the elderly in the family are old and it seems that they will not live for a few years, they will prepare old clothes and birthday coffins. But this time, something unexpected happened. Except for the elderly in the family, who else has a ready-made coffin.

But it just doesn't work if I don't bury it now. The weather has become hot, and it will be boring if I don't bury the body.

Therefore, most of the families who had died just used broken reeds, mats, straw curtains, etc. to roll up the dead people and carry or carry them out of the village.

As for large animals such as horses and cows, they are not available in the village.

But even if they had that, it would be impossible to keep them. The village had been burned down by the Japanese, and even the chickens, ducks, and geese had been taken away by the Japanese army. How could they leave large livestock behind?

The Japanese invaders were running amok. Wherever they went, it was not called "chickens and dogs are restless", but it was called "chickens and dogs were both at peace"!

It turns out that the funerals of the Chinese people are like this, those lurkers thought, and the difference between their funerals and the Chinese people's funerals appeared in their eyes.

Don’t Chinese people burn paper? The Yamato people also burn paper.

They also burn paper for the dead, but according to their custom, they burn paper for themselves while they are still alive.

They would visit a shrine, write their name and age on a piece of paper, and then leave the piece of paper at the shrine.

On March 3rd every spring, the shrine holds a ceremony to burn these "dais" and pour the ashes into the river, symbolizing that the sins and bad luck of the worshipers have been wiped out.

It’s just that they don’t know that in the eyes of the Chinese people, burning paper for themselves is really a heartless thing to do.

It turns out that the Chinese buried their dead like this! Those lurkers also thought that the Japanese and the Chinese were also different in this regard.

When they put the dead person in the grave, they put a big stone on top of the dead person.

But the Chinese don't know how to do it. They really don't have this custom.

If there really was one, it would only be because they were afraid that the dead would fake their corpses.

At this time, another lurker noticed that some of the Chinese people had a narrow strip of white cloth tied around their waists.

At this point, lurkers like them can figure it out. Just because their old Japanese people died, their children also have to wear white hats.

Therefore, those Chinese people wearing white cloth strips around their waists probably have the same meaning.

Since there was no fighting for the time being, the lurkers were so engrossed in watching that they did not notice that among the Chinese people who were busy right under their noses, one person was carefully observing the place where they were hiding under the cover of others. Hillside, and that person is Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen killed two Japanese soldiers who sneaked into the village. Although he could not figure out what the Japanese soldiers wanted to do to the people in the village, he would never believe that there were only two Japanese soldiers. He also suspected that some Japanese soldiers had given this village to Surrounded.

So, taking advantage of the funeral in the village, he naturally wanted to disguise himself as a commoner and follow him out to investigate the situation.

There was a torn bag at Shang Zhen's feet, stuffed with some firewood, but stuffed in the middle was his box cannon.

Shang Zhen suspected that there were Japanese troops in the surrounding mountains, so how could he not take precautions?

But even so, he also knew that it was very risky for him to do so. There would be no Japanese troops in the surrounding mountains.

But then he thought again, the two Japanese soldiers he killed this time were weird in their bones, and they were all against common sense.

He felt that the other party would not kill the villagers without knowing that the two Japanese soldiers hiding in the vegetable cellar had been killed.

Wang Guo, for the sake of safety, he also told the villagers before coming out that you can go out to bury people, but you must not bury them on the hillside!

Just imagine, those two Japanese devils even dared to hide in a vegetable cellar that couldn't escape if they were discovered. Who knows how many they would hide if there were shrubs and woods on the hillside?

If Shang Zhen hadn't killed the two Japanese soldiers, the villagers really wouldn't have listened to him.

The truth is very simple. Just because Chinese people believe in Feng Shui, of course you have to find a good place to bury the dead. Who would bury the dead at the foot of a mountain?

When it rains in the summer, the water coming down from the mountains will wash away the graves! It won't take too long. Within a year or two, the earthen grave will be silted up by the water coming down from the mountain!

But now, using the cover of the crowd, Shang Zhen secretly observed the situation on the hillside.

Since the Japanese devils can think of hiding in cellars, they must be very secretive on the hillside.

Therefore, with Shang Zhen's intelligence, he would neither look at it unscrupulously nor sneakily like a thief. If that were the case, I'm afraid the Japanese soldiers on the hillside would really open fire.

So after observing for a moment, he turned his back to the hillside, pretended to be grieving for the deceased's family, knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

As a result, his face rushed towards the hillside behind him. Although he was looking at people upside down, it was still the safest position he could think of.
