Chapter 072 Love and hate
The Japanese second lieutenant raised his command knife high.
The gunfire exploded like fried beans, and Yang Huajin became a veritable execution ground!
No, that's not a execution ground, but a slaughterhouse! It was full of officers and civilians who were shot.
Zhou Charter's ears were full of the shooting sound of Murata-style rifles and the wailing of the gunman. Until now, he has not heard a gunfire. North Korean officers and soldiers were either stunned or killed.
The combat level of the Japanese army has reached an astonishing level. Their shooting accuracy is extremely high, and their individual tactics are extremely reasonable. This combat ability is nothing more than that of the students of Tianjin Military Academy, and every soldier of the Japanese army can do it!
Finally, the gunshot of the Mauser was heard, and the sober North Korean soldiers began to fight back. However, every time North Korean soldiers shoot, they will attract a deadly bullet, and the bullet fired by North Korean soldiers do not know where to fly.
"Brother Zhou, run away!" Jin Shu raised her head and shouted. She was pressed under Zhou Charter and couldn't move.
Zhou Charter gritted his teeth and scolded, " Shut up! How dare you hit me on the head with a stone! You stay honest with me, and I'll settle accounts with you later!"
"I'm afraid of you..."
"I'm afraid of fart!" Zhou Charter stared at the Japanese by the river and shouted, "I warn you that if you run around again, I will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious!"
Suddenly, he heard a "bang" gunshot. Standing on the forehead of the Japanese second lieutenant beside the low wall, a wisp of blood smoke came out. The command knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his body fell softly.
"Bang Bang" several shots of the Murata rifle, and the bullet shot into a hut on the right. In the window, a figure shook and fell down.
"Good man!" Zhou Charter shouted in North Korean, "Come here, come here quickly."
The figure jumped out of the hut and rolled into the crater where Zhou Charter was located.
With a loud rumbling sound, a shell accurately fell into the hut, and the hut was blown up to the sky.
Zhou Charter exclaimed: "Hong Zhongyu!"
The person who rolled into the crater was Hong Zhongyu, Jin Shu's father's enemy.
Hong Zhongyu was bloody. He killed the Japanese second lieutenant, but he was shot at least five times. At the wound, blood kept gushing. Hong Zhongyu held a musket in his hand, a pair of congested eyes, glared at Zhou Charter and Jin Shu, and his body trembled with severe pain.
Zhou Charter grabbed the musket in Hong Zhongyu's hand, and Hong Zhongyu collapsed softly.
Jin Shu screamed, "He is injured!" She tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt and bandaged Hong Zhongyu. Jin Shu did this completely out of her kind nature. At that moment, she forgot that Hong Zhongyu was her father's enemy. In front of her, she was just a North Korean soldier who was seriously injured and in urgent need of rescue.
Hong Zhongyu waved his hand and struggled to say, "Shua..."
"Don't call me Shuer!" Jin Shu said while dressing.
Hong Zhongyu laughed miserably: "Why did you save me?"
"Why did you kill my father!" Jin Shu gritted her teeth and said.
"He killed my father!" Hong Zhongyu gritted his teeth and said, with bursts of convulsions on his face in severe pain.
"Nonsense, he didn't! Why did you kill him and why did you still delay him!" Jin Shu said with tears in her eyes.
Hong Zhongyu gasped and said, "My father was also late!" He did not participate in the Jiashen coup, just because he was a member of the Kaihua Party, and the court delayed him! But Jin Yujun, a coward, went to Japan!"
It turned out that although Hong Yingzhi, Hong Zhongyu's father, was the leader of the Kaihua Party, he did not support the violent revolution. Therefore, when the Kaihua Party launched the Jiashen coup, he always stood out. The actual leaders of the Jiashen coup were Jin Yujun and Park Yongheng. After the coup failed, the two leaders fled to Japan. If the court could not catch Jin Yujun and Park Yongheng, they took it out their anger on the Kaihua party members who remained in the country and arrested Hong Yingzhi and executed them to death.
Because of this, Hong Zhongyu believed that Jin Yujun had killed his father and hated Jin Yujun to the bone.
The Korean court sent the assassin Li Yizhi to Japan to hunt down Jin Yujun. Jin Yujun knew that North Korea was chasing him and the defense was extremely strict. Li Yizhi had no way to start. Coincidentally, Hong Zhongyu came to Japan from France, and Li Yizhi persuaded Hong Zhongyu to participate in the assassination.
At the beginning, Hong Zhongyu and Jin Yu were brothers, but now they are brothers!
Hong Zhongyu coughed and bleeding from the corners of his mouth: "Shua, I'm dying. Kill me and avenge your father! Otherwise, you won't have a chance!"
Jin Shu took out the dagger she carried with her, but cried: "I can't kill him! I can't kill him!" The dagger fell to the ground with a bang.
"Then let your brother Zhou do it."
Zhou Charter shook his head and sighed, "Shu'er, when will the injustice be reprieved!"
On this trip to North Korea, Zhou Charter basically understood the national conditions of North Korea. North Korea is in the gap between the three major powers, Russia, China and Japan. The international environment is dangerous. Under the manipulation of the great powers, there are many domestic political factions and kill each other, killing many people. However, those who feuded each other have a common goal - for the survival of North Korea!
This is the sadness of a small country.
Jin Shu rushed into Zhou Charter's arms and cried, "Brother Zhou, I'll listen to you!"
Zhou Charter stroked Jin Shu's hair, gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go!"
"You guys, don't move!" Hong Zhongyu gasped and said.
The Japanese soldiers who lost their commander did not panic at all. A Japanese army Cao replaced the dead second lieutenant and took on the command of the landing force. The sound of the Murata-style rifle was staggered, and every shot was accompanied by a wailing of the gunman.
This is the modern Japanese army created by the Meiji Restoration! This is a terrible army!
Every soldier knows his responsibilities and sticks to his post. This army has iron discipline and iron cohesion. The death of an officer is not enough to destroy the soldier's will to fight!
Hong Zhongyu's face was pale, and the blood on his body was almost dry: "The Japanese target is the palace! They won't stay here for too long.
Zhou Charter heard that the gunfire of the Japanese army by the Han River had become sparse, and the main force of the Japanese landing force had left Yang Huajin to attack the palace. Yang Huajin left only a few Japanese troops to clean up the remaining North Korean officers.
"When the people here die, they will leave!" Hong Zhongyu laughed and said, "Shua, Uncle Hong is almost dead!"
"You are not my Uncle Hong!" Jin Shu said with tears in her eyes.
Hong Zhongyu wink at Zhou Charter and said, " Take care!" He suddenly stood up and walked out of the crater.
With a gunshot, Hong Zhongyu's eyebrows bounced in his heart, and his burly body hit the soil next to the crater, causing a burst of dust and smoke.
Jin Shu cried: "Hong..." Zhou Charter covered Jin Shu's mouth and held Jin Shu in his arms.
Jin Shu's tears gushed out, opened her mouth, bit Zhou Charter's palm fiercely, and let out a "woo" cry. Zhou Charter endured the severe pain and let Jin Shu's teeth sink into his palm.
That's heartbreaking love and hatred!
The gunfire stopped.
Hong Zhongyu's death convinced the Japanese that Yang Huajin had no living North Korean soldiers! The remaining Japanese army of Yang Huajin quickly launched and reinforced the palace.
In the direction of the palace, there was a dense sound of gunfire.
The Japanese army began to concentrate on attacking the palace.
All Yang Huajin's Japanese troops withdrew to reinforce the palace.
Shizai, at 3 a.m. on July 23, 1894, the Japanese mixed brigade, led by the commander of the Oshima Yichang Brigade, went to war against North Korea. The Japanese army launched an attack from the Guangxian Gate, the East Gate, the North Gate, the West Gate and the South Gate of the palace at the same time, and the palace guards resisted tenaciously. At 6:20, the Japanese army captured the Korean royal palace. 40 people were killed in the palace guard and 1 person in the Japanese army were killed.
Zhou Charter pulled Jin Shu and climbed out of the crater.
Under the moonlight, from the river bank to the dock, the corpses are piled up, and the limbs are broken everywhere. The red blood converges into streams and flows to the Han River in the night.
Hong Zhongyu lay on his back by the crater, his eyes were round, his face was pale, and there was a burnt hole on his forehead, but there was no bleeding.
Before he was shot, the blood had run out.
Jin Shu muttered North Korea.
"What did you say?" Zhou Charter didn't understand, and Jin Shu didn't teach him this word.
"Bunbo Hong!"
Zhou Charter shook his head and sighed. Perhaps death is the only way to resolve hatred.
