Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 634

"Do we need to talk?" Shangguan Xue looked at Zhao Zilong.

"Of course." Zhao Zilong wanted to go north quickly, and the battle in Xuzhou became more intense day by day.Now, even the 69th Army, which blocked the enemy from Bengbu to the south, hastened to the north.

"I want to stay and advance and retreat with the school." Shangguanxue said: "It is also possible to make up for the remaining courses. However, my heart for the War of Resistance will not be extinguished. I believe that in the not-too-distant future, I will definitely fight for the War of Resistance. and die."

Two more lines of tears flowed down the girl's fair face.

Zhao Zilong saw that Shangguan Xue's eyes were full of softness, as if expecting something, he couldn't help but move in his heart, but he didn't move in the end, only his brows were tightened.

Shangguanxue sighed softly, retreated into the darkness, and said softly, "Brother Zhao, if I die unfortunately, remember to burn some paper money for me when you have time, and you must recognize me as your wife..."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Zilong Tieshi's heart was also a little touched, "You are young and a girl, even if you go to the battlefield, it is only for medical assistance."

"No," Shangguan Xue said firmly, "If I go to the battlefield, I must go to the front line to kill the enemy and shed blood."

Seeing this, Zhao Zilong didn't say anything anymore.

After the two separated, Zhao Zilong came to the ruined temple that had been used as a school building before.As soon as he entered, he found that it was a Yuewang Temple.

The position of the altar has been filled with sandalwood.Zhao Zilong came to the corner of the altar and begged for a stick of incense, and offered it to the place after the worship.

"Lord Yue," Zhao Zilong then sat down and meditated on the spot, "Today, the national crisis is upon us again. I don't ask you to go into battle again to defend against the enemy. I only ask you for a piece of precious land to take a good rest."

After speaking, he began to close his eyes and meditate.With his special breathing method, he can basically recover his mental and physical strength by closing his eyes and resting his mind for half an hour.

But today was not the case. He closed his eyes and rested his mind for an entire hour before returning to his original appearance.

After waking up, he bowed three times to the statue of Lord Yue, and then strode north.

Xuzhou, that destination looks really far away today.

After walking for another two days, Zhao Zilong came to a water and land pier beside a canal.I can finally board the boat, Zhao Zilong thought to himself.

But he asked casually, and found that because the river flowed westward at this time, if he wanted to go north, he had to go against the current, so the speed of taking a boat was not much faster than walking.

Although the price was not expensive, he finally decided to go on his way with his feet.

Unexpectedly, when the 37-year-old boat boss heard that Zhao Zilong wasn't taking the boat, he suddenly became excited.He came to Zhao Zilong's ear in three steps and two steps, and whispered: "Guest officer, if you are in a hurry, here is a way to do it."

"No," Zhao Zilong refused, "Since ancient times, sailing along the current is the fastest way. Here, going north, going against the current all the way, how can there be a fast way?"

"Guest officer only knows one thing, but not the other," the boat boss grinned, and said a little secretively, "I've been on the ferry with my grandfather since I was 12 years old, and it's been 26 years now, don't you know those methods? "

"Tell me about it." Zhao Zilong couldn't help being interested when he heard it, but he still acted indifferent.

"Now," the captain of the boat said in a low voice, "after the end of the Anti-Japanese War on the Yangtze River, our navy has been wiped out, and many small boats have been sold to us. If the guest officer needs speed, as long as he comes at night, he will be guaranteed." You go as fast as the car."

"Where can I go?" Zhao Zilong's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Xuzhou," the captain of the boat pointed to the north, "it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, so naturally we can't get there. So, let's go to the south of it, okay."

"How much?" Zhao Zilong didn't care about this question at first, the reason why he asked this was just to show his identity as a small businessman who cares about every detail.

"Guest officer, I can see that you are a rich owner." The boss of the boat became energetic when he heard something interesting, "Isn't that hard to say? You are alone, and if you have no goods, I will charge you twelve oceans. We It's agreed, three days later, I will definitely arrive."

"Okay," Zhao Zilong said with satisfaction, "however, twelve oceans is too much. How about ten?"

"Then, all right." The boss of the boat made an awkward look on purpose, but in fact his heart was already full of joy.You know, just this trip is enough to cover his family's expenses for half a year.
-
That night, when the moon and stars were thin, Zhao Zilong came to the place that the boss of the boat had told him before.

It was a swamp of reeds, and the captain of the boat dragged a motorboat out of it with great difficulty.

You know, this is the most advanced thing at the moment.

Zhao Zilong was startled suddenly for no reason, and he grabbed the boss of the boat by the shoulder: "Boss, you said such a good thing, it was originally something from the navy, why did it end up in your hands?"

"Hey!" The boss of the boat was obviously hurt by Zhao Zilong's pincer-like hands, and begged for mercy: "Okay, good man, take it easy, take it easy. Didn't I say it, it's all post-war things, our navy , was wrapped up by the Japanese!"

"Then," Zhao Zilong continued to ask, "tell me, how much is this boat?"

"Not much, not much," the boat boss shook his head, and said indifferently, "It's only three hundred oceans." Zhao Zilong slapped him without saying a word.

"Go to your three hundred oceans," he scolded, "I'll just say, even if it's something after the navy's defeat, it definitely won't reach you! You little man who crawls around!"

Hearing this, the boss of the boat realized that he had revealed his secrets, and hurriedly turned over and fell to the ground: "Hero, spare your life, spare your life! I really stole this boat by myself. A few days ago, the navy hid the boat in the canal. Probably because I was in a hurry, a motorboat had to tow more than a dozen motorboats behind me, so I used my canoe to row out from the reeds and untie the last one."

"Then you can drive?" Zhao Zilong didn't care about anything, but he was a little puzzled.

"Good guy," the boat boss smiled when he saw that the other party didn't pursue the matter, "We all sail the same boat. I transported more than a dozen people to Pukou a few days ago, and there was no mistake in a batch of goods. "

In Zhao Zilong's heart, he was almost moved by what he said.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the reed marsh.

Both of them were startled suddenly, the boss of the boat was especially anxious.He simply dropped the boat and ran straight out.

Zhao Zilong frowned, looked around, took a shortcut, and stepped forward to check.

It turned out that it was a group of merchants who were traveling at night, who had a quarrel with several ship bosses.There are at least eleven or twelve people on the side of the merchants, and there are only three or four boat bosses.

According to the accent, the traders are from Fuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. They insisted on crossing overnight to Suzhou, 150 miles away.
