Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 373: Escape (Part 2)
Feifu Baigen didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but only remembered that when he woke up, his head hurt like being split by an axe. The lieutenant of the navy was surprised that he was still alive, and the tyrannical Chinese crew did not take his life immediately.
At the moment when he was knocked down to the ground, Shirane had already determined that he was doomed to escape this time. He had seen many reports of captured Japanese soldiers being tortured and killed in the army, and some reports even included disgusting pictures. The tragic and terrible end of those Japanese soldiers who fell into the hands of the Chinese and civilians left a deep impression on the young Shirone.
So when his identity was revealed, Shirone knew that he was going to die. He once declared to his companions that he would leave the last bullet for himself when he had to be a last resort. Even suicide would never fall on him. China mob hands.
But when he pulled the trigger, out of fear of death, he drew out all the bullets in the gun.
Fifeo Shirone struggled to sit up, but found that he was tightly tied up, still the same kind of five-flowered tie back then. The navy lieutenant began to wonder whether this binding method was a traditional Chinese skill.
His head still hurts badly. Shiragen was worried that his skull would be cracked. He remembered that he had suffered a lot of sticks on his body at that time. It may be because of the tightness and the blood flow. He still can't feel anything. The slightly swaying floor under him and the sound of waves hitting the hull from his ears can confirm that he is still on the transport ship.
The air was filled with the stench of decayed wood, and it was dark all around. Had it not been for a gleam of light from the gap in one deck, Bai Gen would almost think he was blind.
Shiragen turned over with difficulty, and slowly moved towards the transparent wall. He felt that he must look stupid now, like a caterpillar crawling on a vegetable leaf.
"White Gensang, are you still alive?" A voice suddenly rang in the darkness, almost frightening Shirai's soul.
"Dalida? (Who is it?)" Shirane asked in a panic.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, Lieutenant Shirane, don't be nervous, I'm Liu Jianchang, Lieutenant Liu." The man in the darkness whispered in Japanese.
"Adjutant Liu? Why are you here? Come and help me untie the rope." When Shiragen heard that he was an acquaintance, he was overjoyed.
"Sorry, Lieutenant, I am also tied up. I can't help you for the time being." Lieutenant Liu said in a low voice.
"What? You were also arrested, then Wu Sang and the others..." Baigen stopped here. Since even Adjutant Liu was arrested, it is not difficult to imagine the results of others. .
"It's all over, we were besieged by them." Lieutenant Liu replied.
After Baigen was stunned, the workers had planned to beat him to death on the spot, but were stopped by an old boatman. This boatman also served as a second repairer when he was young, but he was too old. There was a problem with my big eyes, so I had to retreat and become a handyman who burned fire, boiling water and cooking for dozens of people on the boat. Because of his rich experience, he had a high prestige among the lower-level boatmen.
The reason this man is saying is very practical. The living Japanese are more useful than the dead. The matter has already become a big deal. Boss Qi and his men will never let them go, or leave the Japanese as a living. At that time, who can come to testify for the brothers.
When the boatmen thought about it, it really made sense. If this Japanese died, who could prove that the old man Qi was collaborating with the enemy. This Japanese looks like a Chinese. After he died, who could tell the truth from the false, don't be beaten by the government, saying that he had made money and killed innocent merchants. So Shirone was lucky enough to leave a small life, and the rope was tied and threw into the bilge.
Next, the group of radial workers are ready to attack Boss Qi and Wu Dewei. Everyone knows that things can't be done well by this time. The thing about the Japanese on the ship has been revealed, and Boss Qi and his group are absolutely impossible. Letting go of these witnesses is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, and it would be a crime to put it in the Qing Dynasty.
Now the front deck is full of noise. The Japanese fired five shots in a row. It is impossible for Boss Qi to not know until now, but so far there has been no movement in the rear cabin. There must be something strange in it. .
Since it was decided to rebel, there must be a leader, and the boatmen immediately elected Zhao Jiayao's deputy Liu Shanpao as the leader to succeed the head. As the name suggests, Liu Shanpao is a sturdy man with a strong personality like an iron cannon. What is commendable is that this man had served in the Sichuan Army for two years and was said to have learned a lot of characters. He has a lot of strategy on weekdays.
Sure enough, he had worked as a soldier, and his experience was very different from those of ordinary boat people. Liu Shanpao was not eager to lead people into the rear compartment, but first organized boatmen to carry out self-arming. There are many tools that can be used as weapons on the river boat. In addition to all kinds of sharp spears and axes, there are also many iron-clad rods. After a little processing, they become sharp weapons for attacking and killing the enemy.
Worried that the other party might have a gun in his hand, Liu Shanpao also let someone remove the cover on the top of the warehouse, and the water-soaked linen on the outer bread served as a temporary shield. The boatmen blocked the wooden board in the hatch of the rear cabin and began to shout to Old Qi, telling him that the collusion with the enemy had been revealed, and asked the owner to come out and surrender obediently, otherwise he would be killed in the cabin. .
"So you surrendered to a group of civilians?" Shirone's tone was full of contempt.
"How could it be possible to surrender. At that time, Boss Qi took his people and wanted to rush out, but the opponent took advantage of the terrain. The aisle in the cabin was too narrow, and two or three people couldn’t rush out. Our people also rushed out later. After three times, he was still beaten back by the opponent, and six people were lost." Deputy Liu replied.
"Then why didn't you rush out to save me at first."
"Who knew that you were the one who shot the gun. We all thought that Boss Qi was going to fight with us in the dark. Before the boatman shouted, we were confronting Boss Qi and his group in the cabin. "Adjutant Liu replied helplessly.
"Doesn't that boss Qi have our weapons in his hand? Why can't I rush out?" Shiragen asked suspiciously.
"Huh, he hid the gun under the bow deck to prevent us. The boatman's riot was so sudden that he had no chance to take it out." Lieutenant Liu said with a sneer.
"What's even more ridiculous is that these guns were discovered by the other party. We were finally forced to the tail compartment, and we were completely unable to fight back. The brothers were overturned and dragged away one by one, and Battalion Commander Wu was injured and captured. Boss Qi He and his deputy were killed on the spot.” Deputy Liu sighed after speaking.
"These people threw the corpse and the seriously injured brother into the Yangtze River. Battalion Commander Wu and Staff Sun were put into a bamboo basket and hung on the mast."
"Then why are you all right?"
"I told them I was just a writing essay, and they respected scholars."
"It's good to survive, Liu Sang." Baigen said sadly.
"They won't let us live for too long. I heard from their leader. They will hand us over to the government when the ship reaches the shore. Lieutenant, you may receive some preferential treatment. I and Captain Wu He will definitely be judged by military law." Lieutenant Liu said.
"Liu Sang, I must never fall into the hands of the Chongqing government again. I still have important information to report to the military command. No, absolutely not. I must live back to Japan." Shirone yelled excitedly.
"Speak down, Lieutenant, don't alarm the boatmen." Adjutant Liu hurriedly stopped Shiragen's restlessness.
"Don't panic, we still have a chance. Trust me, I will definitely help you escape." Lieutenant Liu said in a low voice.
"Liu Sang, do you have a way? Don't lie, you are not **** by them." Baigen still shouted loudly.
"Speak down, Lieutenant Shirane, don't forget that you are a member of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Take out a bit of a soldier's spine, and don't yell like a woman." Lieutenant Liu rebuked solemnly.
"What did you say, you China..."
"Go on, why stop, just say it, Shina pig is it, Lieutenant Shiragen." Adjutant Liu's tone was icy cold.
"Sorry, I'm the one who lost my mind. I'm sorry, Liu Sang, I apologize to you." Shirane apologized quite sincerely.
Now he has only this Chinese officer to rely on. If the conflict between the two parties is caused by a stupid argument, this behavior is really stupid.
"I can understand your feelings, Lieutenant, but it doesn't mean that you can tolerate your insulting my personality at will. I accept your apology and hope that this will not happen again in the future." Lieutenant Liu said calmly .
"Sure, I swear, Liu Sang. Can you tell me now, how do you plan to escape?" Shiran asked.
"For ordinary people, it is very difficult to get out of this bondage, but for people who have undergone some professional training, it does not require much effort, it only takes a little time. "Adjutant Liu said lightly.
"You mean you can take off these straps? How long will it take?" Shiragen asked in surprise.
"When you scolded me Chi Na pig, I got away."
Shiragen heard soft footsteps in the darkness. Adjutant Liu was groping towards him. Obviously the other party did not lie. This magical adjutant really broke free of the rope.
"Here, Liu Sang." Baigen whispered, and then he felt a hand touch his arm.
"Wait a minute, they used a lot of effort to tie you." Adjutant Liu found the rope and began to pull the knot hard.
"Please hurry up, Liu Sang, I seem to hear the sound of footsteps, and someone is coming." Baigen's voice changed, and he suddenly felt a burst of urine.
"It's going to be all right now. Don't worry about it. You sit up first, OK, then turn around like this." Adjutant Liu methodically loosened the ropes of Baigen.
"Quickly, someone is coming." Baigen urged, and then he felt his arms loose and his hands were free from the restraints.
"Go over there and stand against the wall." Adjutant Liu covered Bai Gen's mouth and whispered in the other's ear, then dragged Bai Gen up and pushed it to one side of the board.
At this moment, the closed cabin door was opened, and the light from outside the cabin illuminated the dark cabin through the door hole, and a boatman came in carrying a bamboo tube.
This was a puzzled looking around, but did not see the prisoner, and then glanced at the loose rope on the ground. The boatman was taken aback and opened his mouth to shout a warning, but a big hand came from behind He covered his mouth, followed by a pain in his neck, and then lost consciousness.
"It's filled with water." After slashing the seasickness worker with a palm, Adjutant Liu carefully laid the opponent on the floor, then picked up the bamboo tube and shook it.
"What should I do next, Liu Sang." Bai Gen has completely bowed to Adjutant Liu's feet at this moment.
"We figured out a way to get on the deck, and then escape from this ship, Lieutenant Shiragen. In order to escape successfully, I hope you can obey my command temporarily." Lieutenant Liu threw the bamboo tube to Shiragen.
"Yes, no problem." Baigen pulled out the cork from the bamboo tube and took a sip of water with his head up.
Without further ado, Adjutant Liu decided to act immediately. He slipped out of the hatch quietly with his head, and found that no one was guarding the hallway. Think about it, after all, they are just ordinary people with no military experience.
"Did you see that staircase? We can escape from there. Can you swim? Lieutenant." Lieutenant Liu whispered.
"No problem~IndoMTL.com~I'm the navy." After drinking a little water, Shirane had a little more energy, and his head and body were still aching, but his strong will to survive supported him. Ignore the pain.
"Adjutant Liu, can I find my luggage? The information in it is too important." Baigen said in a low voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about, once they are found out, then we are all over. The most important thing now is to keep our lives."
"Understood, I'm sorry, Liu Sang." Baigen was a little frustrated, but he also understood that Lieutenant Liu's choice was correct.
At this time, almost half of the manpower on this ship was reduced. Most of the crew were on the deck to control the ship's navigation, and only a few crew members were left on the bottom.
So after the two people climbed up the deck quietly along the stairs, they were immediately noticed by the two sharp-eyed boatmen before they could stand firm.
"The Japanese escaped."
"And the traitor who writes!"
"Grab them, don't let them run!"
At a time, more than a dozen boatmen yelled and surrounded them, and Shigen saw that several of them had pistols in their waists.
"Come with me, Lieutenant." Adjutant Liu shouted loudly, then rushed to the ship's side and flew into the Yangtze River.
"There are so many sack bridges! (Wait a minute!)" Shiragen rushed to the ship's gunwale to look at the rolling Yangtze River, and then looked back at the murderous boatman,
The navy lieutenant gritted his teeth and turned around and jumped into the surging river.
