Chapter 624: The Perverted Japs
Gan Rong picked up the telescope and observed that there was only one Japanese warship on the river.
The plaster flag on the mast of the Japanese warship and the military flag on the bow became clearer and clearer.
Gan Rong ordered: "Old Ye! Send the brothers to evacuate the people here immediately."
Ye Shian pointed at the extremely chaotic scene behind him and said:
"We didn't need to tell them. As soon as the people saw the Japanese ships coming, they all fled."
Indeed, except for the people on the shore, most of the people on the ships in the harbor fled.
As long as the Chinese people are in a place where information is blocked, they all know how cruel the Japanese invaders are.
However, there are still many people who cannot bear to give up their jars and pots and are unwilling to leave.
Gan Rong sent out elite commandos to forcibly drive away the people living around Potou Port.
Liu Damao, a bully in Potou Port, runs a butcher shop and refuses to leave with his two brothers.
He also ridiculed the elite commandos who came to drive them away: "Soldiers! If you are afraid of the devils, just go away. Why do you care about us? We are not afraid of the devils."
The elite commandos kindly advised: "The Japanese are brutal. They burn, kill and loot wherever they go. It will be very dangerous if you don't leave."
Liu Ermao shouted: "We are willing to take risks!"
The elite commando said helplessly: "Fine! Just watch the cruelty of the devils."
Liu Sanmao served a bacon hot pot and said with a smile: "Soldiers! Have a drink."
The elite commando said helplessly: "You won't listen to my advice! You will regret it."
The three brothers of the Liu family set a bad precedent, and two shop owners refused to leave.
At this time, the Japanese transport ships were getting closer and closer, and the elite commandos could not do anything about these guys.
Gan Rong stood in the woods on the high slope behind Potou Port to observe the terrain and gave the order:
"Old Ye! Tell the brothers to disperse and hide in the woods on the high slopes, on the docks and boats, and in the harbor houses. Everyone wear gas masks.
When the Japanese transport ship docks, all artillery will directly use poison gas bombs to attack them and catch them off guard. "
"Yes!"
Ye Shian hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, the telegraph soldier hurriedly reported: "Captain! The commander sent a telegram saying that the Japanese gunboats Chunfeng and Xiafeng will cooperate with the Murakami squad of the Doihara Brigade on the transport ship Ximi to bombard Potou Port.
To avoid casualties, let's stay away from the port and wait for an opportunity to attack."
"There are two more Japanese gunboats coming?"
Gan Rong exclaimed in surprise and quickly picked up the telescope to observe.
As expected, the Japanese transport ship slowed down and was followed by two Japanese gunboats.
The Japanese troops have never been vegetarians. If it weren't for Xiang Chu's timely intelligence, the two thousand elite commandos he brought might have had to die in this small Potou Port.
Gan Rong hurriedly gave the order: "Quick! Everyone retreat."
The elite commandos retreated quickly away from Potou Port.
However, such non-resistance made the people around Potou Port very disgusted and they talked about it:
"What kind of army is this? They run away as soon as they come up."
"It's outrageous. They still eat the emperor's food and pay the military salary."
"We must file a complaint. This kind of army is too bad."
The common people found out through various sources that this army that collapsed at the first sign of trouble was actually the vanguard of the 34th Army.
Liu Ermao and other three shops that did not leave Potougang were very disdainful of the fleeing troops. They were so arrogant that they even set off firecrackers to show off their bravery.
Western Hunan, northern Huaihua.
The 34th Army was marching northward.
In the middle armored car, Xiang Chu said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we intercepted this intelligence from Doihara Xian'er, otherwise our elite commando team would be finished."
Kong Ling consoled him, "Maybe you're worrying too much. If the three Japanese warships were to fire, wouldn't Master Gan and his men still run away?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Maybe they can run away, but how can human legs outrun artillery? With three warships covering Potou Harbor with artillery fire, the elite commandos will surely suffer heavy losses.
And it will be very difficult to seize the poison gas bombs after alerting the enemy."
Kong Ling nodded and said, "You are right."
Yu Xiaowan reminded him, "Brother Chu! Takahashi Taisho's poison gas bombs have been transported to Hanshoupotou, and the Doihara Brigade should be there soon. We have to hurry."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "If Doihara Xian'er also rushed to Hanshou like us day and night, he can use both land and water, and the distance is short, so he will definitely arrive first."
Kong Ling said thoughtfully: "Why did this Doihara Xianer go to Hanshou?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "This is exactly what I am wondering about. The Japs have no plans to attack Changde in the near future. Why would he go to Hanshou? And bring tens of thousands of poison gas bombs with him."
"Brother Chu! Please stop thinking about him. Come! Xiaowan will give you acupuncture and massage."
Yu Xiaowan said angrily and started to give him acupuncture and massage.
Kong Ling thought to herself, "Her father is really good at finding 50,000 yuan. This woman is very useful."
Hanshou, Potou Port.
"Boom! Boom!"
Three Japanese warships began indiscriminate, covering and non-stop bombardment outside the harbor.
The rumbling of cannons shook the earth and frightened the people within a ten-mile radius into trembling with fear.
They had only heard about the brutality of the Japs before, but they didn't expect their firepower to be so fierce.
Now, the Japs are coming and launching horrific artillery bombardment, which naturally makes people extremely terrified.
The civilian ships near the Potou Port dock were shattered by the artillery fire.
The shops and houses at the port were bombed and collapsed, but the Japanese still left three of them guarded.
Liu Damao and three other shop owners thought that the Japanese were merciful and would not bomb their shops when they saw that there were people in their shops.
After several rounds of artillery fire from the Japanese warships to ensure that there was no danger, the Japanese transport ship docked at the pier. The Japanese soldiers from Murakami's team immediately rushed ashore and pounced on Liu Damao and three other shops.
Captain Murakami shouted angrily: "Catch all the Chinese."
"Hello!"
The Japanese soldiers obeyed the order in unison.
Takahashi Taisho smelled the aroma of stewed bacon and followed him off the ship and walked towards the butcher shop.
The three Liu Damao brothers were drinking homemade rice wine and eating bacon stew in the shop, completely ignoring a Japanese lieutenant colonel and a large number of Japanese soldiers standing behind them.
Takahashi Taisho had never seen such calm Chinese people before, and he could not help shouting angrily: "Baga! Are you still cowardly Chinese people?"
Liu Damao said with a smile: "Hey! The three of us brothers are very brave. We are the kings of Potou Wharf. We will protect you from now on."
Takahashi pointed at Liu Damao and said in Japanese: "Murakami-kun! Drag him outside and remove his limbs."
"Hello!"
Captain Murakami hurriedly took the order.
Two Japanese soldiers pointed bayonets at Liu Damao, rushed over and carried him out of the shop.
Soon, Liu Damao's screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard from outside.
Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they both peed their pants.
Gao Qiao Dazheng pointed at Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao and angrily shouted:
"Get out of here! You ladies are working so hard."
Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao quickly stepped aside and stood with their backs bent.
Takahashi Taisho and the Japanese soldiers sat down at the table and started eating.
Outside the store, the cruel Captain Murakami was commanding the Japanese soldiers to wantonly kill and massacre the store owner and his family who refused to leave.
Inside the store, Gao Qiao Dazheng was full and shamelessly picked up the hot pot on the table, squatted down to relieve himself, and then pushed it in front of Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao, smiling and saying:
"Eat it all! I'll spare your life."
Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao looked at each other, each picked up a butcher knife, and shouted loudly: "Perverted little devil! I will fight you to the death."
"Bang! Bang!" The gunshots continued.
Takahashi Daisho fired several shots, and Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao fell to the ground, both dead.
He kicked the bodies of Liu Ermao and Liu Sanmao twice and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the people in this place are tough."
