Guandong Heroine

(I)

The moon had already set, and the sun wouldn't rise until very late. The early morning sky was as black as ink, and under the black rocky cliffs, only the electric lights on the barbed wire fence of the Japanese barracks flickered like ghosts. In the darkness, two figures quietly approached the dozing sentry from behind.

Suddenly, the two figures leaped up from the darkness. One snatched the Type 38 rifle from the Japanese soldier's hand from the side and rear, while the other put a rope around the soldier's neck, hoisted him up, and ran off. The Japanese soldier gripped the rope with both hands, his tongue lolling out, his legs kicking aimlessly in the air.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures emerged from the darkness again. One opened the gate on the barbed wire fence, and the other waved into the darkness. Immediately, more than a dozen figures appeared from the darkness and ran straight towards the gate. Upon reaching them, the black-clad man with two pistols made several hand gestures, and his followers, understanding perfectly, rushed towards the three houses behind the barbed wire fence. The leader, along with another black-clad man and two lookouts, headed towards the central house. From behind, it was clear that the supreme leader and her entourage were young women. A

deafening explosion rang out—grenades being thrown into the rooms—followed by sporadic gunfire as the remaining Japanese soldiers inside were eliminated. The female leader stood facing the door, mowing down the Japanese soldiers rushing out of the billowing smoke from the main house. At daybreak

, reinforcements from the provincial capital arrived. The barracks were a scene of utter devastation; a whole platoon of Japanese soldiers lay scattered about. On the body of the platoon leader outside the main house was a large red invitation card

that read:

"Listen, little devils:

Today we take away the rifle bullets you offered as tribute, and the lives of twelve of your dog brothers." "You guys are too stingy. Prepare more next time, don't make us angry."

The message was signed "Heroine of Guandong."

Meanwhile, in the old forest more than twenty li from Black Rock Cliff, the dozen or so people who launched the attack were walking and chatting. However, their black clothes had now turned white. They were wearing sheepskin cloaks with black silk linings; when it snowed, they wore the fur side outwards, and on snowless nights, they wore them inside out—excellent camouflage.

The leader was indeed a beautiful young woman, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with arched, delicate eyes and a high nose. Her tightly closed lips and slightly furrowed brows revealed a sense of authority and cold beauty.

Following closely behind her were a man and a woman; the man was thirty-four or thirty-five years old, also carrying two pistols. The man with the dark reddish complexion, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a full beard was clearly a hearty and forthright fellow. The woman, about eighteen or nineteen, carried a Mauser pistol slung across her shoulder, her hair styled in a long braid. She had a round, fair face with a rosy glow, and was quite pretty.

Behind them followed a group of men of varying heights and builds from Northeast China. Although they varied in age, they were all full of energy. Some carried three or five rifles, while others carried loads of ammunition. They walked along, laughing and talking loudly.

Ahead was a fork in the road. The woman at the head of the group stepped aside and waved for the others to continue on their way,

leaving only the man and woman who had been following closely behind:

"Second Master, you take the brothers back to the stronghold first. Xiao Hong and I will go to the provincial capital again to gather some information and look for any new business opportunities."

"Alright. First Master, you'd better be careful." "The big man's words revealed concern.

"I know."

"Second Master, you should also be careful." A strange light also appeared in Xiao Hong's eyes.

"Hmm." The Second Master absentmindedly agreed and turned to hurry back in the direction the group had gone.

(II)

At noon, the First Master and Xiao Hong, dressed in Western-style men's clothing, sat at a table at the innermost part of Deyuelou Restaurant, slowly eating their meal.

"Boss Wang, have you heard? Last night, the Guandong Heroine wiped out another Japanese army camp and killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers." A group of diners at the next table chatted in low voices.

"Really? That's great! This Guandong Heroine has wiped out a Japanese camp before."

"That's right, she's done it at least dozens of times, killing at least one or two thousand Japanese soldiers."

"At this rate, the Japanese are doomed. What's the background of this Guandong Heroine?"

"I don't know, but since she debuted, no one has ever seen her." " She came and went without a trace, leaving the Japanese devils nowhere to be found. I reckon it's the Goddess of Lightning descending to earth."

The two leaders chuckled secretly, but didn't speak, just listened intently.

"I think she's like a deity too. Think about it, if it were an ordinary person, they'd probably just be highly skilled in martial arts, able to scale walls and roofs. How could she have the ability to be in two places at once? She must be a deity."

"The ability to be in two places at once? I've never heard of that."

"Think about it, when did you say the Heroine of Guandong attacked the Japanese camp?"

"Last night."

"That settles it. Last night, a squad leader from the provincial capital's military police said he was going out for a stroll and then disappeared. This morning, he was found naked in the moat west of the city, even his manhood was gone, and there were words written in blood on his body: 'The killer is the Heroine of Guandong.' Think about it, if she didn't have the ability to be in two places at once, how could she have attacked in two places at the same time?"

"Oh!" I've heard many times about the female knight-errant from Northeast China killing Japanese officials in the provincial capital, but I hadn't heard about this one yesterday. Amazing! Truly amazing! You mean even a god has personally intervened to deal with the Japanese? It seems the Japanese won't be around for long."

The two women frowned upon hearing this, exchanging doubtful glances, unsure if the story of killing the Japanese official was true.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, the head of the household whispered to Xiao Hong, "This afternoon you go to the east and south of the city, I'll go to the west and north. We'll stay at your aunt's house tonight. If either of us is delayed, we'll meet at the Bell Tower tomorrow at noon."

"Okay! Be careful."

"Yes, don't worry. Hey, boss, the bill." "

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Hong headed east, while the leader went west, strolling slowly while keeping an eye on the places with Japanese flags hanging on both sides, silently memorizing them. After having dinner at a small shop in the west gate of the city, the leader headed back, intending to go to Xiao Hong's aunt's house for the night. However, due to the killing of a Japanese officer, martial law was imposed early that night.

The leader wandered through the alleys, trying to find an inn, but the more anxious he became, the less he could find one. While searching , he ran into a Japanese patrol.

The Japanese shouted, and the leader, outnumbered and outmatched, couldn't fight back, so he turned and ran. The Japanese pursued him relentlessly, their Type 38 rifles firing incessantly.

Seeing that he couldn't shake them off, the leader drew his gun, ready to fight. Just as he turned a corner and hid in a doorway, the door behind him opened, and a woman's voice whispered, 'Come in quickly.'" The bandit

leader, not even bothering to see who was behind him, slipped inside. It was a small house on the street, lit only by a small kerosene lamp. The owner locked the door, then went to the large bed, kicked it open, and a hole appeared in the floor: "Get down quickly, no matter what happens outside, don't come out."

The bandit leader jumped down into the hole, and the person above closed it again. The bandit leader held his gun in both hands, listening to the sounds outside. After a while, he heard the Japanese soldiers talking incoherently, followed by a series of urgent bangings on the door.

"Who is it, in the middle of the night?" The woman's voice suddenly became effeminate, making it very unpleasant to listen to.

"Hey, hurry up, open the door."

The sound of the door opening, followed by the woman's voice again: "Oh, it's the Japanese officer, what brings you here?"

"Hey, are you an anti-Japanese element?"

"Anti-Japanese elements? Look at what you're saying! I'm just a single woman, barely able to earn a living, how could I dare to resist the Japanese?"

"You, get out of the way, Imperial Army, search!"

"Look, I only have this small room, how can anyone hide here?"

Then came the sound of footsteps. Someone stood on the cover of the hole, and it was the woman speaking: "You see, these two cabinets, you've searched them all. Look under the bed, no one there, right?"

"You, what

are you doing here?" "Look at your question, can't you tell what I do? This is my good citizen certificate. Do you want me to serve you? I guarantee you'll be comfortable, come on."

After a long silence, the Japanese soldier's voice was heard: "Yoshi! Yours, good citizen's certificate. Mine, for arresting anti-Japanese elements, tomorrow's, yours, for serving the Imperial Army."

"That's my good fortune, you must come tomorrow."

"Mine, come together." This was another Japanese soldier's voice.

“Oh, I’m all alone, how can I take so many? How about this, you come one by one, I’ll serve you all well, okay?”

“Okay, okay, make way.”

“We’ll definitely come.”

Footsteps came out of the house, followed by the sound of the door closing and locking, then the woman’s curses: “Pah! You sons of bitches, tomorrow I’ll castrate you all.”

The footsteps slowly approached, and the cave entrance opened: “Alright, come out.”

(III)

The leader jumped out of the cave and started to walk out.

“What? You’re leaving without even saying thank you?”

“Thanks.” The leader reached out to unlock the door, but the woman grabbed his hand: “Wait, where are you going? There’s martial law now, going out is just asking for death.”

The leader didn’t speak, nor did he move.

“Here. You sleep here first, and go out when it’s light tomorrow.”

The leader moved his feet hesitantly, but didn’t get into bed, just sat on a small stool to the side.

The woman smiled, got into bed herself, lit a cigarette, and put her feet up on the headboard. A snow-white thigh was revealed from the high slit of her cheongsam.

"Shameless!" the gang leader cursed inwardly; this woman was a prostitute.

The two remained silent for a long time before the woman broke the silence:

"Aren't you tired sitting there? Come up if you want to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy."

"Come on, I saw through you a long time ago. You're a woman disguised as a man. We're both women, why would I be afraid of you doing 'that'?"

"I said, I'm not sleepy."

"Stop pretending, damn it." The woman suddenly became angry: "I know you look down on me. Yes, I'm a prostitute, but did I want to be one? I used to be an enviable, respectable woman. My father was a professor at this provincial university. I also thought about marrying a good man and staying with him forever, but, those Japanese devils..." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face: "My whole family died, I'm all alone, and they... I thought about dying, but I'm not reconciled. I want revenge, I want them to pay with their lives. Don't think you're the only one fighting the Japanese; I'm fighting the Japanese too."

"You? Fighting the Japanese?" Hearing the woman's lament, the leader felt a surge of sympathy, and his tone softened considerably.

"What? You don't believe me? Come on, follow me."

The woman jumped off the bed, kicked the cave door open again, picked up the oil lamp, and jumped down first.

The leader followed her down into the cave, only to find that it was much larger and longer than she had imagined.

"This is an old house. The owner was an old woman living alone. After she died, it fell into the hands of her nephew.

I lived nearby when I was a child and often came to play at the old woman's house, so I knew this cave and rented it. The other end of this cave leads to the moat underwater."

As she spoke, they reached the bottom of the cave and saw water nearby. The woman placed the lamp in the niche and pointed to a wooden box, saying, "Open it and take a look."

The leader opened the box with suspicion and was astonished. Inside were more than a dozen pistols, including Mauser pistols, sniper rifles, large mirrors, and bullets. The leader looked back at the woman, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Open that box too." The woman's face beamed with pride.

It was a large mahogany box with a brass clasp. When the bandit leader opened it, he was even more astonished. Inside were the shoulder insignia of Japanese soldiers—sergeants, lieutenants, and one with two bars and one star.

"And that one too,"

the bandit leader said, opening another wooden box. Inside was half-filled with lime, and on top of the lime were neatly arranged rows of dark, shriveled objects, mostly dried up, except for one damp one—all men's penises.

"Well? Believe me now?" the woman said smugly.

"You are...?" the bandit leader realized.

"That's right, I'm the Heroine of Northeast China. I do sell myself, but I only sell myself to Chinese men. Any little devil who wants to sleep with me will have to have nine lives."

"You alone? How did you manage that?" The bandit leader felt he should look at this woman differently.

"I always go to other streets to find them, and I'll hook one of them when I see one lying around. I'll get him drunk, and the drink is spiked with something. Once he's intoxicated, I'll drag him here. I'll castrate them first, so that even as ghosts they can't abuse women anymore. Then I'll stab them to death with a knife, and use a bamboo pole to push them out through this hole, which leads to the moat. The hole is underwater, so no one will find it."

The leader no longer looked down on them; all that remained was admiration: "Sister, you're really something. But it's too dangerous to do it alone. You should join us in the future."

"You? Sister, are you the Anti-Japanese Alliance or a gang? I haven't even asked your name yet."

"We're a gang. We're few in number, our stronghold is small, and we don't have a name. But we specialize in fighting the Japanese."

The leader didn't reveal that she was the heroine of Northeast China; she didn't want to spoil the woman's fun.

“Alright, as long as we fight the Japanese, we’re good sisters. How about it? If you don’t mind that I’m a lowly person, let’s become sworn sisters.”

“Okay, let’s set up an incense table here and swear an oath of brotherhood. My name is Zhang Sufeng, I’m twenty-two.”

“My name is Chang Yuhuan, I’m twenty-six.”

“Then you’re the older sister. I’ll bow to you.”

“My dear sister, I return your bow.”

After the two finished their oath of brotherhood in the cave, they came out and snuggled into the same quilt, talking all night. They agreed that Yuhuan would no longer take risks. The mountain stronghold would provide the capital for her to open a small inn, partly to act as an informant for the stronghold, and partly so that people from the mountains would have a place to stay when they came to the city.

When it was broad daylight, Sufeng left Yuhuan’s little house. She knew that Xiaohong must be waiting anxiously. Since it was still early before the agreed meeting time, Sufeng went to the north of the city for another morning. The Japanese defenses at the North Railway Station were not very tight, and the surrounding roads were open, making it easy to enter and exit. They considered it a potential next target, so they circled the area a few times. Seeing that it was almost noon, they turned and headed towards the Bell Tower.

Just as they reached North Second Street, they saw groups of Japanese soldiers with guns, herding people towards the Bell Tower. Su Fen tried to dodge but couldn't and was swept up in the chaos.

"Auntie, what's going on?" she asked a woman next to her.

"What's going on? You're not from the provincial capital, are you? We're used to it. They're killing anti-Japanese elements, driving everyone to watch. Sigh, it happens several times a month, it's terrible. You know, even if they keep killing like this, they'll never finish killing all the anti-Japanese elements."

Su Fen felt very heavy-hearted: "Auntie, you can't kill all the anti-Japanese elements. As long as there are Japanese devils, there will be anti-Japanese elements."

"That's true. These damned Japanese devils, we'll make sure they all die sooner or later!"

(IV)

Su Fen came to the clock tower with the crowd. A group of armed Japanese military police surrounded a square open space in the middle, while the puppet police pushed and shoved the crowded people on the outside.

"Second Brother, who did you kill today?"

"I heard it was the Heroine of Northeast China."

"The Heroine of Northeast China? How could that be?"

"They say she confessed herself."

"I haven't heard anything about that."

"I just came from there. I heard she was caught around 10 o'clock. When she was caught, she said she was the Heroine of Northeast China."

"Ah, what a pity! With this Heroine of Northeast China around, the Japanese devils will never have a good time. Who knows who will help us Chinese people get revenge in the future?"

Hearing about the Heroine of Northeast China, Su Fen's heart skipped a beat: "Who is she? Is it Sister Yu Huan, or Xiao Hong?

How did she get caught? What should we do? How can we save her? If only the brothers on the mountain were here." Su Fen was truly in a state of turmoil.

"She's here! Look, it's a woman!"

"So young, what a tragedy!"

Su Fen and the others looked westward together and saw a group of Japanese military police escorting a horse-drawn cart carrying an artillery slowly towards them. A T-shaped wooden stake stood on the cart, and a young woman, her hands bound, was suspended from the stake, her bare toes barely touching the ground. The woman was wearing a black cheongsam and was shouting loudly as she walked. Who else could it be but Yu Huan!

Su Fen's heart pounded, her palms sweating. What to do? She had to save her! But she was alone and powerless!

As the carriage drew closer, Su Fen clearly heard Yu Huan's shouts: "Fellow villagers! Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law! Don't be sad for me! I am the heroine of Guandong! I killed thirteen Japanese officers and castrated them all! It was exhilarating! I've made a profit! Fellow villagers! Don't be afraid of the Japanese devils. As long as we are determined to fight them, we can drive them away. I'm a woman, and I can kill thirteen. You can too. Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus. I've made a whole dozen!"

"When I become a ghost over there, I'll beg the King of Hell to send me a job as a scavenger to come back and collect the souls of the Japanese devils, so they can all go to hell. Fellow villagers, I killed thirteen Japanese officers. I've already made my profit! Hahahaha!..."

As the carriage entered the execution ground, Su Fen's hand involuntarily went to her waist, where two speed-controlled scythes were hidden. Yu Huan suddenly saw Su Fen, paused for a moment, then quickly regained her composure. She seemed to understand what Su Fen wanted to do, and continued calling out, but the content changed: "Fellow villagers, live well, save your strength to kill the Japanese devils. Don't be sad for me, I've killed thirteen Japanese devils, that's enough. Take care of yourselves, you can kill even more Japanese devils..."

Su Fen knew that Yu Huan was implying that she shouldn't sacrifice herself to save one more, that as long as she was alive, she could fight again. Su Fen's eyes filled with tears, and the people present also shed tears.

Several Japanese soldiers went over and untied Yu Huan from the cart, tearing her cheongsam to shreds at the chest without a word, then ripping her white vest and floral cotton underwear, stripping her naked and binding her up.

The rope binding her snow-white flesh made the whites appear even whiter, the redder, and the darker. In that small house, Su Fen had never realized Yu Huan was so beautiful. Yu Huan didn't struggle; she simply stood straight, her high, firm breasts thrust out, her eyes slightly moist, her cries continuing. She was dragged to the middle of an open space. Two Japanese soldiers tried to force her to kneel, but Yu Huan resisted fiercely, standing up repeatedly.

A Japanese sergeant drew his sword and walked over, placing the blade-up between her legs: "You, kneel!"

She raised her head, staring into the soldier's eyes: "I kneel to heaven, I kneel to earth, I kneel to my parents, I kneel to the gods, but I will never kneel to the Japanese! So what if I die? I'm not afraid! I'm a heroine! I'd rather die standing than live kneeling!"

"Damn it!" the soldier roared, exasperated. "You, tie her legs up, tie her up and make her kneel." He tried to bind her into a kneeling position.

“You little devils, you can bind my body, but you can't bind my heart. I will never kneel before you!” As she spoke, Yu Huan twisted and kicked and bit wildly, and four or five Japanese soldiers couldn't hold her down.

“You, a heroine from Northeast China? A hero!” A Japanese officer with two stripes came over, told the sergeant to put his knife away, and then gave Yu Huan a thumbs up: “My soldier, I admire you! Yours, standing, is acceptable.” Then, he stepped back a few paces and signaled to the sergeant that he could carry out the execution. The sergeant held the knife in both hands, trying to go behind Yu Huan, but Yu Huan glared at him: “No need, I can't be stabbed from behind.”

The sergeant stood in front of her, his hand holding the knife trembling slightly. Although he was a ruthless executioner, he found it difficult to face those piercing eyes.

Yu Huan looked at the sergeant, smiled mockingly, and then tossed her long, flowing hair: "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

The sergeant raised his knife, and Su Fen's heart clenched, but Yu Huan seemed unfazed, only using her last chance to say, "Thirteen, haha, a carriage running over a hunchback—I've got it!"

The sergeant swung his knife, not aiming for her neck, because it was difficult to strike while she was standing, so he slashed diagonally. The knife cut into Yu Huan's left shoulder, exiting under her right armpit, severing her right arm. The crowd gasped, but Yu Huan didn't cry out, not even blinking.

The naked woman fell, her head and half a shoulder landing about two feet away from her body. Because the rope hadn't been cut, the two halves of her body weren't too far apart.

Blood, blood! It gushed from the headless body. Due to the pressure inside the body cavity, a piece of her lung and heart, which had been cut off, were squeezed out from the wound. Her heart was burning red, still pounding. Her eyes were still wide open, her face bearing the smile of a victor, her lips still moving. Su Fen knew she was still saying, "Thirteen, a win!"

(V)

The Japanese retreated, leaving Yu Huan naked there. People rushed over and surrounded her. Those who couldn't squeeze in discussed among themselves:

"What a heroine! No wonder she's called a female knight-errant, she didn't even blink an eye until she died."

"With such a heroine, how could the Japanese sleep soundly?! Alas, what a pity, there will never be another female knight-errant from Guandong again."

"Yes, there will definitely be. The female knight-errant from Guandong is a goddess, how could she die so easily?"

"But this one?"

"This is just the female knight-errant from Guandong's avatar. She can fight the Japanese in two places at the same time, so of course she can have two avatars. If you don't believe me, just wait and see, the female knight-errant from Guandong will come out again to fight the Japanese."

Su Fen squeezed into the crowd, wanting to see her sworn sister one last time. When she squeezed in, several middle-aged women were already weeping as they pieced together Yu Huan's body, which had been separated in two places, and covered her body with clothes donated by others. Yu Huan's eyes were still open, her smile unchanged, her mouth slightly open, as if she were still saying, "Thirteen, I made a profit, hahahaha!"

Su Fen really wanted to collect Yu Huan's body, but she had no relatives in the city and couldn't do anything herself. Feeling her pockets, she found a few silver dollars. She took them out and stuffed them into the hand of one of the women:

"Auntie, I'm young and can't help with anything, but I'll give you some money to help with her funeral arrangements!"

"Sir, there's no need. Even if such a heroine didn't have a penny, we would all take care of it for her."

"Then consider it my way of doing my part for her."

Su Fen forced back her tears, shoved the money into the woman's hand, stood up, and hurriedly turned to squeeze through the crowd towards North Street. As she approached North Second Street, she noticed someone trailing behind her. Having worked as a gangster for so many years, Su Fen was highly vigilant. Seeing a small alley to her left, she darted inside, but didn't continue. Instead, she hid behind a corner, waiting for the trailing man to turn in. Suddenly, Su Fen grabbed his neck and pressed a gun against his lower back.

"Don't move!"

"Don't shoot, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Su Fen looked down and saw a thin, nearly sixty-year-old man holding a white banner that read

"Zhang Tiekou"—a fortune teller. Su Fen released him:

"What are you doing? Why were you following me?"

"I'm a fortune teller, no ill intentions. Sir, I saw you under the clock tower just now, and I noticed your forehead was dark, which I fear is a sign of

impending doom. I came to inform you." So that's it. Su Fen knew he'd slipped up when he was taking out money earlier; fortune tellers often use this trick—first scare you, then use a supposed warding-off-misfortune ritual to extort money.

"Oh, what kind of misfortune?"

"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary misfortune. We fortune tellers don't easily predict life or death, but your forehead isn't just dark, it has a deathly aura. Within a month, you'll definitely be in mortal danger."

"Oh, then, can you tell how I'll die? By gunshot, knife, stone, or choking on something I didn't eat?" Su Fen teased the old man.

Zhang Tiekou said anxiously, "I'm afraid it'll be like this, a red messenger sent to the execution ground!"

"Then, is there any way to avert this?" Su Fen knew it was time to get to the point.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Sir, oh, no, young lady. As long as you don't have the intention to kill again within a month, there will be a turning point, but... I'm afraid you won't change your mind."

"Who are you?" Su Fen immediately became wary.

"I'm just a fortune teller. I've been setting up my fortune-telling stall on East Street in this provincial capital for decades, and I've never been wrong. Young lady, if you believe me, find a place to hide for a month, and you'll naturally turn misfortune into good fortune. Otherwise..."

"Forget it, old man, you don't need to say anymore." Su Fen reached into her pocket for money, only to realize that she had just given all her money to the old woman who had collected Yu Huan's body.

“Young lady, you’re insulting me. Do you think I’ve chased you this far just to scam you out of food, drink, and money? If you don’t believe me, fine, the truth will come out eventually. I won’t take a single penny of your money.”

Su Fen didn’t take out any money, her face slightly flushed. “Old man, I’m so sorry, my money just now…” She gestured.

“I know, did I say I’d ask you for money? I just wanted to help you so you could make plans.”

“Old man, don’t take offense. If it comes true, I’ll definitely go to the King of Hell to ask for your lifespan.”

“I’m already so old, how many more years do I want to live? Remember my words, young lady, and take care of yourself.” After saying that, Zhang Tiekou shook his head and walked away.

Originally, Yu Huan’s death had already made Su Fen feel suffocated, and Zhang Tiekou’s interference made her even more resentful. She walked north with her head down, almost forgetting about meeting Xiao Hong. When she remembered, she hurriedly turned back, but about an hour had already passed. Yu Huan's body was no longer at the bell tower; it had probably been taken away for her funeral.

Fortunately, Xiao Hong had been waiting at the foot of the bell tower and hadn't left. Judging from her appearance, Xiao Hong was there when Yu Huan was killed. The two of them didn't speak a word on the way back to the mountain stronghold, both feeling sullen.

(VI)

The second, third, and fourth leaders, along with about a hundred men from the stronghold, came out of the stronghold to welcome them. Talking about the victory at the military camp, Su Fen temporarily forgot about Yu Huan and the fortune teller, and a smile appeared on her tense face.

Based on the information gathered in the provincial capital, Su Fen gathered the three leaders together to discuss the attack on the provincial capital. There were several targets in the provincial capital. The best target for Su Fen was the train station, while Xiao Hong had her eye on the armory in the southeast of the city.

The four of them decided that it would be best to attack these two targets at the same time, so that the Japanese wouldn't know where to reinforce. However, the people in the stronghold alone were obviously not enough.

Su Fen said, "Guandonghao, Huang Dapao, and Manshanhong are all gangs that specialize in fighting the Japanese. We've partnered with them before, so why don't we join forces with them this time?" "Good idea," the second- in-command said.

"Guandonghao and Huang Dapao are both big gangs, each with several hundred men. Our four groups combined have over a thousand men, enough to pull off a big heist. But, they're big gangs, will they listen to us?" “Why do we have to listen to everyone? As long as we're fighting the Japanese, it doesn't matter who's in charge. I've met Guan Donghao once before; he's a straightforward and honest man, and quite shrewd. He'd be better off as the leader than me. I'll handle the liaison here. Third Leader, Huang Dapao is your brother-in-law, so how about you go and make the trip?” “Okay!” “Then, Fourth Leader, go and contact Manshanhong. Later, all the leaders of our four mountain strongholds will gather at Guan Donghao's place. Second Leader, you stay and guard the stronghold.” “Alright!” Su Fen led Xiao Hong towards Guan Donghao's stronghold, while the Third and Fourth Leaders each went their own way. The liaison went very smoothly, and the three sides quickly reached an agreement. Guan Donghao was appointed commander-in-chief, based in Liujia Gou, west of the city. His second-in-command led 500 men to attack the armory. Huang Dapao was appointed deputy commander-in-chief, personally leading about 300 men to attack the train station. Manshan Hong was appointed general support officer, with about 200 men, who stayed with Guan Donghao in the west of the city, ready to support both sides. Guan Donghao's side had the fewest men. As the initiator, she was originally offered the position of deputy commander-in-chief, but Su Fen had no interest in fame or fortune, only in fighting the Japanese. So she became the deputy general support officer, sending her third and fourth leaders with 70 or 80 men to conduct a preliminary attack on the Japanese stronghold 50 miles east of the city. Once the Japanese in the provincial capital were drawn there, Guan Donghao and his men would then make their move. With the assignments finalized, Su Fen instructed the third and fourth leaders to take her handwritten letter back and directly mobilize troops to the east of the city. She and Xiao Hong remained at the stronghold in Guandong to provide the leaders of the three strongholds with a detailed explanation of the Japanese deployments , ensuring a more comprehensive plan. After the four leaders had finished their discussions, it was already evening. Su Fen and Xiao Hong spent the night at the stronghold in Guandong and returned to their stronghold early the next morning. They walked for half a day through the dozens of miles of old forest, finally arriving at the foot of their stronghold before lunchtime. Two sentries stationed outside, seeing the return of their leader, emerged from the shadows to greet him. "Have the Third Boss and his men returned?" "Yes, they returned yesterday afternoon. They immediately mustered eighty men and left the mountain. Only the Second Boss is left to guard the stronghold. The Second Boss knew he wasn't sent to fight this time, and he threw a tantrum all night. This morning, he took about ten men down the mountain to collect snacks. They happened to run into a Japanese car, and without saying a word, he shot it down, killed four Japanese soldiers, seized three rifles and one pistol, and even captured a Japanese girl. He was happy then. They've only been up there for about an hour." "Oh, alright. That Second Boss, he's like a lost soul when he can't fight. You two don't need to stay here guarding the stronghold. Come back to the mountain with us. We'll have dinner soon, and after we eat, we'll leave. We might still be able to catch up with the Third Boss and his men." "Alright!" The four of them walked up the mountain happily. When they reached the gate of the stronghold, the two gang members saw that it was Su Fen and quickly opened the gate: "The First Boss is back." "You're back. Where's the second-in-command?" "He pulled off a small business this morning and's having a good time over there in the main house."

"Oh, Xiao Hong, you go back first. I'll go check over there and tell them to start eating."

Su Fen said, walking towards the main house.

As soon as she entered, she saw the second-in-command sitting in the main room drinking tea, surrounded by several thugs, excitedly talking about something. Seeing Su Fen, the second-in-command quickly stood up: "Boss, you're back! Why did you send the third and fourth brothers to fight, leaving us to guard the stronghold? My hands are itching for a fight!"

Su Fen laughed: "Don't worry, after we eat, we'll go after the third-in-command and the others. This time, he'll bring his whole gang down the mountain for a big heist."

"Great! Hehehehe!" The second-in-command rubbed his hands together happily, like a child.

Su Fen turned to go back to her quarters, when she heard a girl's scream from next door, followed by silence. Su Fen found it strange, so she went over and lifted the curtain. What she saw almost made her lungs explode with anger.

Two people lay naked on the kang (a heated brick bed). The woman was on the bottom, her hands tied together to the kang table. The man was pinning her down, one hand grasping her small, cone-shaped breast, the other covering her mouth. Her large buttocks were bobbing up and down as he fucked her. Judging from her thin body, she looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She trembled with each thrust, letting out muffled moans from her nose, her eyes filled with tears.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Su Fen turned around and roared angrily at the outside.

Hearing the shout, the man hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, saying timidly, "Boss, it's you. Please sit down."

Su Fen walked to the bedside and saw that the girl was fair-skinned and quite pretty. Her short legs were spread apart, her thick black pubic hair covered in sticky fluid, and there was a trail of bright red blood from her anus.

"You bastard, what are you doing? Don't you know the rules of our gang?"

"Boss, how could we not know the rules? But this girl is a Japanese."

"So what if she's Japanese? Aren't Japanese women human too?"

"What's going on?" The second-in-command, hearing the commotion, led his gang over.

"Second-in-command, this bastard is defiled by a woman, do you know that?"

"Oh, this? Boss, you don't know. We just grabbed her this morning when we were hailing a taxi. Her father's a high-ranking Japanese officer. Look, this is what we found on her." The second-in-command pulled a photograph from his pocket and handed it over. Su Fen saw it was indeed a photo of the girl with her parents; the man was wearing a Japanese military uniform, carrying a two-bar three-star badge.

"So what? Does that give you permission to break our gang's rules? Who told you to do this?" Su Fen glared at the gang member. The gang member was terrified by Su Fen's gaze and looked at the second-in-command.

“I ordered them to do it,” the second-in-command chimed in. “We’re avenging the boss. Have you forgotten how the Japanese treated you back then?”

“You, you, you bastards!” Su Fen trembled with anger. The second-in-command’s words, bringing up the past, struck a nerve with Su Fen.

(VII)

Su Fen’s father was a primary school teacher in Huanghua Town, south of the city. He had two daughters. Su Fen was the eldest, and the younger one, Su Lan, was two years younger than her sister. The two sisters learned to read and write under their father’s guidance from a young age, and later both went to middle school in the provincial capital. That summer, after a rain, eighteen-year-old Su Fen took her younger sister to pick mushrooms in the woods. They were having a great time when a group of Japanese soldiers came. The two sisters were so engrossed in playing that they didn’t notice the approaching devils. By the time they realized they were surrounded, it was too late.

The two girls were surrounded by more than thirty Japanese soldiers, who grabbed their arms and legs and forced them to the ground. They cried and struggled, but how could they possibly fight against a pack of wolves and tigers? Su Fen felt her clothes being torn off piece by piece, stripped bare, her legs forcibly spread apart, and rough, black hands reaching for her most sacred place. She struggled desperately, but ultimately couldn't escape the horrific invasion. She

didn't know how much time had passed, only that one Japanese soldier after another climbed onto her body, penetrating her genitals. The pain and shame made her head throb with agony.

Suddenly, she heard the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, followed by the clatter of gunfire. Su Fen realized that no one was holding her down anymore, and the Japanese soldier who had been raping her lay limp on top of her, motionless.

The horses' hooves stopped as they approached. Su Fen pushed away the Japanese soldier on top of her and stood up. She saw a dozen tall horses, each carrying a burly man with a gun, all wearing sheepskin cloaks, silently watching her.

She saw dead bodies lying on the ground; the Japanese soldiers had all met their demise. Her younger sister, Sulan, lay naked on a large blue stone not far away, her eyes staring blankly at the sky. Between her parted legs was pooling crimson blood; she had been dead for some time.

"Here, put this on."

The burly man at the head of the group took off his cloak and threw it to her.

Sufen stopped crying; her tears had dried up. Her heart was now filled with hatred. She no longer cared about the shame of being naked. She threw the cloak back to the burly man: "Are you gangsters?"

"Yes."

"Want a woman?"

"Yes."

"Take me with you."

Sufen found the Japanese officer, stripped off his clothes and put them on herself. She then took his pistol and, imitating the gangsters, tucked it into her waistband. She walked up to the burly man and held out her hand. The burly man grabbed her, lifted her onto his horse, and the group galloped away.

The burly man's name was Guandong Hong; he used to be a Robin Hood-like figure, robbing the rich to help the poor, and when the Japanese came, he would fight them. Su Fen followed Guan Donghong, learning horseback riding, martial arts, and shooting. She followed him in scout missions, hijacking carts, and raiding enemy camps. Brave and fearless, and having attended school, she was resourceful in battle, earning the respect of the entire village. Not long after, Guan Donghong encountered Japanese soldiers on his way down the mountain and was shot. On his deathbed, in front of all the brothers in the village, he asked Su Fen to take his place as the village chief.

Su Fen had been violated by the Japanese, so the second-in-command's words caused her immense pain:

"You bastards! Aren't the Japanese inhuman? Aren't you inhuman too? Her father was guilty, but what crime did she, a child, commit? I'm a woman, and she's a woman too. Think of yourselves, and then think of others! How could you..." Su Fen wept bitterly.

"Boss, we're guilty, please punish us."

"I'm the one who's punishing you. You've committed the biggest taboo in our gang. Do you know what punishment you'll receive?"

In the gang, breaking the vow of celibacy means being impaled in the anus by a bent sapling and thrown into the air to die.

"We know, Boss. I'm the second-in-command. I agreed to this. Punish me, not the brothers."

"Boss, we're all guilty. The second-in-command only agreed because we instigated him. We did the bad thing; we can't implicate him."

"Stop talking. We'll discuss this in the assembly hall later. I'll handle it myself. You can all leave now."

Su Fen untied the girl's ropes and let her put her clothes back on. Su Fen, who had attended middle school and spoke Japanese, gently comforted the sobbing girl, then said, "Get up, I'll take you down the mountain."

"Sister!" the girl cried, hugging Su Fen tightly. "You're a good person."

"We're all good people. We don't want to kill. It was your father and his gang who came to China to kill and burn. We had no choice but to stand up and protect ourselves, do you understand?"

The girl nodded, seemingly understanding. Su Fen got up and personally escorted the girl to the road at the foot of the mountain.

In the gathering hall, the remaining twenty or so gang members were gathered, their hearts heavy.

"Second Boss."

"Boss, I'm here."

"Do you know your crime?"

"I know my crime. Punish me."

"Originally, they should be punished for their wrongdoing, but considering they are all heroes who fought the Japanese, I'll spare them this time. But you are the second-in-command, knowingly breaking the rules and still agreeing to their actions, so you can't be let off lightly. Do you accept this?"

"Yes!"

"Boss, for the sake of the second-in-command's many years of service to the stronghold, please spare his life."

The gang members knew that this crime of adultery was one of the most serious among the gang members, punishable by death, so they all knelt down to plead for him. Little Red cried like a baby. "Second-in-command, what do you say?"

"Boss, I broke the rules and ruined the reputation of the stronghold. I deserve my punishment. However, before I die, I have one request."

"Speak."

"Can't you let me finish this battle first, to risk my life at the hands of the Japanese devils? A real man can't live without dying on the battlefield." The second-in-command lowered his head in regret.

Su Fen sat there, silent for a long time. Indeed, when Guan Donghong was alive, he was already the second-in-command. Although he was only thirty-five years old this year, he had been a gang leader for twenty years, experiencing countless battles, big and small. There were at least eighty or a hundred Japanese devils who died under his gun. To protect Guan Donghong, he risked his life three times to enter the enemy lines, sustaining seven wounds. How could she bear to let such a great hero die? But she was the leader, the backbone of the entire village, and the rules of the mountain stronghold could not be broken by her.

"Second Boss, you're a real man, a hero, everyone in the stronghold knows that. But our gang's rules can't be broken, the stronghold's banner can't fall. Considering your years with Brother Guan Donghong, and considering you're a good man, I'll personally send you off, so you can die a quick death."

The Second Boss was about to speak when Su Fen waved her hand to stop him: "Also, I know that all these years you've had feelings for me. I'm not a blockhead; I've always hoped to marry you, but then I thought, I'm already a withered flower, unworthy of you. Xiao Hong is a good girl, and she also has feelings for you. I originally wanted to match you two up, but who knew you..."

"Second Boss, tonight, in front of the brothers, I'll have our wedding ceremony. We'll consummate our marriage tonight, and tomorrow morning I'll send you off. In case we leave behind a child, your Liu family will have someone to carry on the family line. If you want to kill more Japanese devils, let me fulfill your wish for you."

"Boss! I'm so sorry!" The second-in-command knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

(VIII)

The night was gloomy and moonless, much darker than usual. In the gathering hall, more than twenty gang members were still drinking and toasting each other. Although the whole mountain village was decorated with red and colorful decorations, no one could smile. The gang members poured large bowls of wine down their throats, thinking they might as well get drunk and die, so as not to face that heartbreaking scene tomorrow.

Xiao Hong escorted the newlyweds into the bridal chamber, then ran back to her room next door and secretly cried with her head covered.

Inside the bridal chamber, the second-in-command stood in the main room, dressed in red, while Su Fen, dressed in a bright red wedding dress and with her head covered, sat on the kang (a heated brick bed). Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very heavy. After a long while, Su Fen broke the deadlock. "Boss, why don't you lift the veil?" The second-in-command slowly walked over as if being led by a rope, lifted the veil, and revealed her beautiful face. People say that you

can only see a beautiful woman under the lamp. Su Fen was already beautiful, and the facial makeup made her look even more radiant. The flickering red candlelight further enhanced her celestial beauty. At any other time, the second-in-command would have pounced on her long ago. "What are you standing there for? Sit down," Su Fen said, pointing to the person beside her. The second-in-command sat down like a puppet, eyes downcast, hands rubbing his legs vigorously. Su Fen stood up, filled a foot basin with cool water, and placed it by the kang (heated brick bed). She then picked up a large iron kettle and heated the water in the basin. "My lord, let me soak your feet." She reached out to grab his feet. "No need, my feet stink. I can do it myself," the second-in-command hurriedly tried to dodge, but Su Fen had already grabbed one of his feet. "Let your wife serve you this once in a while. You won't have another chance." Su Fen removed his shoes and socks, pressing his feet into the basin. The hot water made the second-in-command hiss and gasp, a warm feeling rising in his heart. "Master, do you hate me?" "No!" "Really?" "Really!" "Why don't you hate me?" Su Fen suddenly burst into tears: "You should hate me! Tonight in this house, I'm your wife. If you hate me, then hit me!" "I really don't hate you!" "But I hate myself!" Saying this, Su Fen threw herself into the arms of the second master, crying her heart out. At this moment, she finally seemed like a real woman. The second master stroked Su Fen's head, filled with remorse and regret. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he forced them back. He knew that although he was the one who would die tomorrow, the one who would suffer the most was Su Fen. It was all his fault for being confused for a moment. Now, he was the husband, the protector of his wife. It was the last night of his life, and he had to fulfill his responsibilities as a man. "Sufeng, don't cry. Today is our wedding night, we should be happy." He cupped her face and wiped away her tears with his sleeve. "Look, what a pretty girl, she looks ugly when she cries. Come on, smile, smile." Sufeng smiled, but it looked even worse than when she was crying. The second-in-command pulled Sufeng up and made her sit on his lap. Then he held her head against his chest and patiently coaxed her. After what seemed like a long time, she finally stopped sobbing. He told her stories from his childhood: how he stole fruit from the neighbor's second great-grandfather; how he blocked the ditch at the Wang family's house in the west of the village; how he went to bathe in the river naked, only to have a small surge of water come up, and after finally swimming ashore, he found that his clothes had been washed away. He had to hide in the bushes by the river until it got dark before going home, where he got a good beating from his father; and so on... Sufeng smiled, this time genuinely, without any pretense. The second-in-command discovered that this usually awe-inspiring woman had such a radiant smile. He forgot about tomorrow, forgot everything around him; a surge of genuine masculine passion welled up within him. He cupped Su Fen's face in his hands and pressed his lips tightly against hers. Su Fen's heart pounded, her breathing became heavy and rapid. She passionately wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself tightly against his broad chest. The second-in-command felt the heat rising within him. He unbuttoned his collar, then groped for Su Fen's buttons, removing her red jacket until only her red silk undergarment remained. He then gently stroked her smooth back, sometimes lightly, sometimes firmly, finally loosening the knot on the thin strap at her back. She gave a shy moan and buried her head even deeper into his embrace. He then removed her shoes and socks, revealing her two delicate white feet, untied her red pleated skirt, and loosened her belt. He laid Su Fen flat on the kang (a heated brick bed), then turned and fetched a lamp, intending to use this only opportunity to properly admire his bride. Before joining the bandit gang, the second-in-command had been married to a woman of exceptional beauty, one in a hundred. Back then, he was young, and although he had thought of admiring his wife's naked body, he had never dared to. Later, the town's wealthy man took a liking to his wife and sent someone with fifty silver dollars, demanding that the second-in-command give her to him. The second-in-command refused, and the wealthy man, taking advantage of his absence, forced his way into his home and raped her. When the second-in-command returned home, his wife had already hanged herself. That night, the second-in-command took an axe and sneaked into the wealthy man's house, killing seven or eight members of the entire family in one fell swoop, before going up the mountain to become a bandit.

Now he has a wife again, a beauty that's one in a hundred. It's a pity he doesn't have much time left with her; he wants to take everything about her with him, imprinting it all in his mind. Su Fen knew he wanted to see her body, and although she felt shy, she didn't object; she didn't want to spoil his fun.

The second-in-command sat beside Su Fen, holding a lamp in one hand and caressing her naked body with the other. She was of medium build, neither too thin nor too plump, with skin as white as snow and as smooth as alabaster. Her upper body was narrow, her waist slender, and her hips rounded and full. Her breasts were conical, with areolas the size of coins, pink, and pointed nipples in the center, like two fresh goji berries.

Her lower abdomen was flat, with a round navel forming a deep, round dimple on her belly. Her legs were long and straight, neither too thick nor too thin. At the groin, where her lower abdomen met, there was

a small mound the size of a baby's fist, covered with a neat tuft of thick, dark pubic hair, which, under the lamplight, accentuated the whiteness of her skin. The second-in-command gently lifted Su Fen's lower back, and Su Fen, understanding his intention, rolled over, turning her back to him and presenting her beautiful buttocks to him. Her hips were neither too wide nor too narrow; her regularly exercised buttocks were round and firm, forming two deep diamond-shaped dimples on either side of her waist. The second-in-command impulsively placed his hands on those two elastic buttocks, grasping and kneading them, and moved the lamp closer to illuminate her light brown anus.

The second-in-command finally decided to examine her most mysterious place. He turned her back to a supine position, spread her legs, and then knelt between them. Behind that distinctive patch of black hair, two thick labia majora peeked out, tightly closed, leaving only a very thin slit in the middle. The second-in-command parted them, revealing two dark brown labia majora, between which peeked out a tender red. It was already very moist, with a small amount of fluid flowing down, gathering at the posterior commissure of the labia majora, almost dripping down.

The second-in-command felt his already erect penis swell even more, and his chest felt tight. He impulsively reached inside and slowly scraped her genitals. She was already melting, and with his movements, she began to sway her hips, her hands grasping at the air, and she let out moans like a kitten.

The second-in-command put down the lamp, casually pulled over a pillow, and with his other hand, used his forearm to lift Su Fen's buttocks by her knees, placing the pillow underneath to spread her two white legs in an "M" shape. Then he took off his clothes, knelt between her legs, and, holding his thick jade pillar, thrust it deeply into her warm cave. He then covered her white body with his own.

Su Fen felt the intoxicating pressure, the man's impulse, and the fullness and satisfaction. He was a real man. She was completely conquered by him, forgetting herself, forgetting everything, with only his strength, size, and bravery remaining.

(IX)

Xiao Hong's sharp screams awakened the couple who were sleeping in each other's arms. Su Fen opened her eyes and found that the pine torches illuminated the room, and the kang (heated brick bed) was full of people, even several people on the large kang next to her. From the gleaming bayonets and the hats with tassels, she knew what had happened. She and he reached under the pillow for the gun almost simultaneously, only to find it was gone.

A Japanese sergeant walked over, looking at the two people on the kang (heated brick bed): "You guys, get up and clear the way."

Su Fen turned to look at the second-in-command, who, realizing his predicament, smiled nonchalantly: "Boss, thank goodness, this time I won't be punished by our own people."

"Yeah, nothing to say, let's take a few down with us.

" "Alright, one each."

"Good!"

The Japanese sergeant didn't understand: "You guys, what did you say? Hurry up and clear the way."

Su Fen considered for a moment, then deliberately looked at her clothes by the kang and said: "We need to put our clothes on first."

The Japanese sergeant understood the situation of the two people in bed and lewdly grinned: "Yoshi, great!" He spoke a few words in Japanese to the Japanese soldiers on the kang (heated brick bed), meaning they should pull back the covers and tie the woman up naked. The soldiers were excited and handed their guns to their comrades under the kang before pulling back the covers.

This was the moment the two men had been waiting for. As soon as the covers were pulled back, Su Fen kicked one of the soldiers who was bending down to grab her in the nose. The soldier was agile and dodged the kick by leaning back, but he didn't notice that Su Fen's other foot had already kicked him in the groin with all her might. Like a stone hitting an egg, the soldier exploded, cried out, and fell onto the kang, rolling twice before lying still. Su Fen herself was then pinned down on the bed by the other soldiers who pounced on her.

Almost simultaneously, the second-in-command lunged at the Japanese soldier under the kang who was holding a gun. He deliberately ran into the bayonet, which pierced his stomach along with the gun. The Japanese soldier, clearly caught off guard, was stunned by the sudden attack. The second-in-command grabbed the soldier's head and bit down on his throat. The soldier let out a scream, only managing half a shout before being pinned to the ground. He pounded his fists on the back of the second-in-command's head in agony, his legs kicking wildly.

The other Japanese soldiers, realizing the danger, rushed forward. Some tried to pull the second-in-command away, others stabbed him in the back with their bayonets. Finally, two soldiers grabbed the second-in-command by the arms and dragged him up. But in his blood-soaked mouth, he was still chewing on a two-inch-long piece of flesh. The Japanese soldier lay on the ground, a large hole in his neck, blood and saliva gushing out. The second-in-command had bitten off his entire Adam's apple and a section of his trachea.

The second-in-command smiled broadly, looking at Su Fen, who was being held down and bound on the kang (heated brick bed), also smiling: "My wife, I've settled that score." "

Boss, I've taken that pen too."

The second-in-command laughed, spitting out streams of blood before his head slumped down.

Su Fen, bound hand and foot, was dragged out of the house by two Japanese soldiers. She saw Xiao Hong also emerging from her room. Xiao Hong was only eighteen, and had been with Su Fen for two years. Normally, she was like a mad tiger fighting the Japanese, but back in the mountain stronghold, she was like a docile kitten, silent and docile. Now, she was also bound, wearing only a red bib, revealing her snow-white thighs and dark, pubic area. She tightly clamped her legs together, and upon seeing Su Fen, called out "Boss!" before tears streamed down her face like broken beads.

Su Fen knew what would happen to young and beautiful women like herself and Xiao Hong in the hands of the Japanese, so she understood Xiao Hong's feelings perfectly: "Xiao Hong, don't cry, stand up straight, don't shed tears in front of the Japanese."

"Yes!" Xiao Hong nodded vigorously, truly stopping her tears.

Su Fen saw torches all over the mountain village, and shadowy figures of Japanese soldiers everywhere, probably numbering over a thousand. Arriving at the Hall of Righteousness, Su Fen saw a Japanese colonel standing beside the Japanese girl she had escorted down the mountain earlier that day. Su Fen recognized the officer; he was the one in the girl's photograph. Su Fen understood everything. She felt no regret, no resentment, only a calm gaze upon her.

"Is it her?" the officer asked, pointing at Su Fen.

The girl nodded timidly, then added in Japanese, which Su Fen understood as, "They are both good people."

"Yours, the Heroine of Guandong?" "

So what if she is?"

The officer gestured to his men, muttering a few words. Su Fen understood, knowing her worst fears were about to be fulfilled.

They were led towards the Hall of Righteousness, the Japanese girl crying behind them, "Daddy, no! They are all good people!"

"Baka!" "The Japanese officer cursed and grabbed the girl who was trying to rush forward.

Su Fen heard the girl calling desperately from behind, "Sister, sister..."

The assembly hall was a scene of utter chaos, with corpses lying haphazardly on the floor, the stench of blood filling the air. The gang members, in low spirits, had all drunk themselves into oblivion, and were thus unwittingly bayoneted to death by the Japanese soldiers in the hall.

Su Fen looked at the corpses of her brothers who had fought alongside her through thick and thin, and sadly turned her head away.

The Japanese soldiers moved two long tables from last night's wedding banquet to the middle of the room. Su Fen knew what they were going to do and said to the Japanese company commander in the room, "She's still a child. I'm their leader. If there's anything, come at me alone."

"Hahahaha!" the man laughed wildly, "Flower girls, Imperial Army girls, enjoy them all."

Xiao Hong looked at the Japanese soldiers lined up in two rows taking off their pants and knew what was about to happen. She screamed and struggled desperately. Two more Japanese soldiers went up and ripped off her red bib, stripping her completely naked. Then, each of them grabbed one of her legs, and together with the two men holding her upper body, they lifted her onto the table, forcibly spreading her legs apart and exposing her virginity.

"You're not human!" Su Fen cursed in Japanese, then switched to Chinese, "Xiao Hong, be strong. This will pass soon. No matter what happened, you're a good girl. Don't cry, don't let the Japanese laugh at you."

The Japanese company commander, hearing Su Fen curse him in Japanese, paused for a moment, then continued lewdly, ordering two soldiers to help lift her onto the table and spread her legs. He then took off his pants and came to Su Fen. Su Fen cursed him again with the most vicious words in the world, then stared at the ceiling and said nothing more.

Inside the Hall of Righteousness, the Japanese roared and laughed wildly, their ugly bodies crushing the naked bodies of two beautiful women, frantically defiling their genitals. In the courtyard, the Japanese girl, her eyes filled with tears, kept calling out, "Sister..."

In the darkness, a figure slipped past the searching Japanese soldiers and quietly slipped down the mountain.

(X)

In the morning, Guan Donghao was waiting for news from the Japanese brigade in Liujia Gou when a gang member ran in, panting: "Boss, it's terrible! Our stronghold has been attacked by the Japanese! Boss, Second Boss, and more than twenty brothers..." He started to sob.

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

It turned out that this was a gang member assigned to keep watch. It was too dark at night, and he didn't notice the Japanese sneaking up in time. When he realized the problem and rushed back to the mountain to report, he found that another group of Japanese soldiers had already sneaked into the stronghold through another path. He heard the screams of the Japanese soldiers stabbing people with bayonets in the main hall and saw Su Fen and Xiao Hong being carried into the main hall, so he hurriedly slipped down the mountain to ask for help.

"Boss, when I came down the mountain, our boss and Little Red Girl hadn't been killed yet! Please go and save them!"

Guan Dong was stunned for a long time, then shook his head with difficulty and said, "It's too late. They might not be killed on the mountain, but they won't live past noon today. I wondered why the Japanese troops didn't go to the east of the city last night, but instead headed west. Turns out they were going to find that Japanese bastard you captured."

"Boss, what should we do? Please make a decision quickly."

"You rest first, I'll send someone to inquire again."

The person sent out quickly returned and said that the Japanese troops had returned by car. At the fork in the road, more than half of the Japanese went to the east of the city, and the rest returned to the city. Sure enough, Su Fen and Little Red Girl were being escorted in the returning car.

"They will definitely execute Boss Zhang and Little Red Girl today."

"Boss, you must save them!" the gangster from Su Fen Village cried.

"I want to save them, but the Japanese are very strict here. Unless they temporarily lock them up and don't kill them, we can't save them at all."

"But we can't just watch them die..."

"Chief Zhang is a woman of exceptional talent. I admire her character. We will all be sad if she dies, but we can't fight recklessly. Otherwise, Chief Zhang will be unhappy if she knows from beyond the grave." "

Then what should we do?"

"We can only continue as originally agreed and kill more Japanese to avenge Chief Zhang."

Gritting his teeth, Guan Donghao said fiercely, calling over the two gang members responsible for relaying orders: "You two, go to the Second Boss's and Chief Huang's side respectively, and tell them about Chief Zhang. Tell them: prepare to take action immediately. Use the sound of cannons or gunfire in front of the clock tower as a signal. Be ruthless. If you see a Japanese soldier, kill one. Don't leave a single one alive."

"Also, after you're done, leave a note, using the banner of the 'Heroine of Guandong.' From now on, whenever it's good to fight the Japanese in Guandong, count Zhang the leader in, and leave the banner for her. Oh, and tell them to finish the fight and quickly withdraw, shake off the Japanese, and gather at Houjiawopu in the east of the city. Manshanhong and I will wait there. We might as well take down the Japanese battalion that comes back after hearing the news, to avenge Zhang the leader."

The two messengers left. Guan Donghong continued, "I reckon the Japanese will definitely execute Chief Zhang and Little Red in front of the bell tower today. Who can go and tell Chief Zhang that we're going to have a big fight today to avenge them? Also, take the opportunity to fire a few cannons in front of the bell tower. Firstly, as a signal to the north and south to attack. Secondly, if the Japanese panic, they might temporarily abandon their plan to kill Chief Zhang, giving us a chance to rescue them later."

"I'll go!" The gang member from Sufen Village immediately stepped forward.

"Do you know what kind of job this is?" Guan Donghong asked, because this job was to be done under the noses of a large group of Japanese soldiers, and it was impossible to bring a gun inside; it was practically a life-or-death situation.

“I know! I’m one of the Heroine of Northeast China’s subordinates, and I’ll take the lead.”

“Good! You’re a real man! So, how will you get in?”

“I’ll pretend to be a funeral attendee. We set off cannons at funerals here, so the Japanese won’t suspect anything.”

“Who sets off cannons at a funeral?”

“We’ll go too!” Several of Guandong Hao’s subordinates stepped forward.

“Yes! They’re my good brothers from Guandong Hao! Go!”

(XI)

Su Fen and Xiao Hong were taken back to the provincial capital by car. In order to execute them in public, the gang rape was quickly ended. The Japanese wrapped them naked in blankets, tied them with ropes, and then tied them to the railing in front of the truck and pulled them back to the city.

When they arrived at the barracks, they didn’t take them off the truck. The Japanese immediately began to arrange the killing. Because they knew that although they had captured the "Heroine of Guandong," only a small portion of the stronghold had been wiped out. Moreover, the "Heroine of Guandong" was the leader; the bandits wouldn't leave her unattended. The longer they waited, the more trouble they might cause; it was better to kill her quickly.

When Su Fen and her companion were released from their blankets, the sun was already high in the sky. The Japanese soldiers first tied a small copper bell to each of their nipples, then inserted two death warrants into the ropes behind their backs. Then, two soldiers carried them, making them stand naked in front of a car, which slowly drove out of the barracks towards the clock tower. She saw that the streets were already filled with people driven there by the Japanese, all looking at them with sorrowful eyes. Some in the crowd were discussing:

"Who is this?"

"Didn't you see the sign? It's the 'Heroine of Guandong.'"

"The 'Heroine of Guandong'? Didn't they just kill one a couple of days ago? Which one is the real one?"

"Who knows? It should be this one."

Su Fen thought of Yu Huan, and of what Yu Huan had shouted that day, and she shouted back:

"Fellow villagers! I am a heroine of Northeast China, but I am not the only heroine of Northeast China. Heroines of Northeast China are everywhere; they can't be killed all at once. We sisters are dedicated to fighting the Japanese devils. Dozens of Japanese devils have died at our hands, and we have thousands more sisters. If we all kill the Japanese devils, they will be wiped out soon. Fellow villagers, rise up and kill the Japanese devils! One person kills one, and that's enough to wipe them all out!"

Xiao Hong, upon hearing this, also shouted, "That's right! Fellow villagers, don't be sad for us; you should be happy for us. We've already made our money back. Fellow villagers, go up the mountain and become bandits! Pick up your guns and kill the Japanese devils! The men are all heroes of Northeast China, and the women are all heroines of Northeast China. Let's see how they can kill them all!"

The people below nodded in agreement, their sorrowful gazes turning into looks of admiration.

"Heroines of Northeast China, well done!" someone in the crowd shouted, and then ten, twenty, and hundreds of people shouted, while the Japanese soldiers maintaining order on both sides broke out in a sweat.

The car weaved through the crowd, and Su Fen calmly looked at the concerned faces in the crowd, bidding them farewell with a fearless gaze. Waitstaff from restaurants and taverns along the way climbed onto the car with large bowls, offering the two women wine. The two women thanked them and drank from their hands. The gang members were all heavy drinkers, and at this moment they could drink even more; each of them downed twenty or thirty bowls along the way, yet remained completely sober.

Suddenly, Su Fen saw a familiar face—it was Zhang Tiekou. He stood at the back of the crowd. Their eyes met, and the old man paused, clearly recognizing her as well. Then tears welled up in his eyes. Su Fen knew what he was thinking. She wanted to comfort him, but fearing it might bring him misfortune, she could only sigh inwardly, wondering if this was fate.

When the car arrived at the bell tower, Su Fen spotted her men from her mountain stronghold among the four people dressed in mourning clothes: "What?

Has the Northeast sent men to storm the execution ground?" Su Fen's heart sank: "This won't do! What are our two lives worth? We can't let them die for us in vain!" She wanted to tell them, but dared not, fearing it would expose them.

Suddenly, one of the gang members shouted: "Northeast heroine, well done! Go on your way, we'll set off cannons from both the south and north of the city to guide you."

Su Fen understood, a smile appearing on her face. She turned to Xiao Hong: "Xiao Hong, did you hear that? We'll set off cannons from both the south and north of the city."

"Yes, I heard it. Now that we're back there, we won't be bored." Xiao Hong smiled too.

In the open space in front of the bell tower, two thick wooden stakes were buried, and a large platform was made of artillery shell boxes. Su Fen knew these were killing tools. She curled her lip contemptuously, wondering what tricks the Japanese could pull!

At this moment, the bandits from Sufen Mountain Village shouted, "Heroine of Northeast China, we're setting off firecrackers to send you off!"

Then came the shouts of the Japanese soldiers: "What are you doing?"

"Guiding the ghosts."

"No lighting?"

"How can we set off firecrackers without lighting them?"

"Put them out, otherwise, you'll be dead, dead."

"Too late, they've lit them!"

Then came a muffled bang, followed by another crisp sound in mid-air—the sound of a double-bang cannon, then a second, a third…

After more than a dozen cannon shots, a series of gunshots and indistinct explosions suddenly rang out in the distance. Then the bandits shouted, "It's bad! Heroine of Northeast China has stormed into the city! Don't be a shield for the Japanese! Run!" The crowd immediately erupted into chaos, shouting and running in all directions.

Hearing the gunshots and explosions, Sufen and Xiaohong felt a surge of relief and laughed heartily.

Seeing the chaos, most of the Japanese soldiers panicked, their faces pale with fright, their hands trembling as they held their guns, beads of sweat dripping down their necks. The Japanese officer in command drew his sword and shouted for a long time to no avail, so he ordered his soldiers to fire into the air, which finally calmed the crowd. Then he shouted in Japanese to the Japanese soldiers on the truck, "Hurry up and do it!"

Xiao Hong was the first to be dragged off the truck. The Japanese soldiers hung her upside down from the two wooden stakes. Xiao Hong's face was flushed red from the blood rushing to her head, but she was still laughing, without a trace of fear. Su Fen was also dragged off. Four Japanese soldiers forced her face up onto the wooden crates, spreading her legs to their limit.

Su Fen felt her labia being pried open, a chill coming from her vulva. She knew that at this moment her genitals were exposed to everyone's eyes, and even her vagina was exposed to the public. Although she was no longer a virgin, she still retained a chaste heart. The thought of people seeing the wet, filthy stains of men around her vulva still made her blush with shame.

Su Fen knew that the Japanese soldiers were going to use their usual methods of killing women on her again. They were going to split Xiao Hong in two between her legs and stab her with a bayonet through her vulva to kill her. She felt no fear, only laughter, thinking to herself, "Little devils, to kill one of me, you'll have to pay with ten lives."

She gritted her teeth, preparing herself to endure the pain, then turned her head to watch as a commander's sword ripped out Xiao Hong's genitals, and then cleaved her from between her legs down to her neck. They put her vulva over one of her own big toes. Xiao Hong's muscles trembled for a long time, but she didn't scream. Before she died, she turned her head to look at Su Fen, her face still bearing the smile of a victor.

Su Fen felt the cold metal touch her vaginal opening. Her body involuntarily twitched, but she didn't struggle; she just gritted her teeth, awaiting the painful and humiliating blow.

A sharp pain suddenly shot from her vagina deep into her lower abdomen; she knew the knife had entered. The knife was repeatedly pulled out and stabbed in several times, each time bringing a sharp, intense pain. Then the cold, sharp metal object pierced upwards to her heart. Something flowed down her stomach and between her legs; she didn't know if it was her own blood or internal organs. She felt her stomach being ripped open, her intestines being dragged out.

Then she felt a finger inserted into her anus, followed by another sharp pain as the knife sliced across her thigh. She knew the Japanese soldiers were also dismembering her genitals. Sure enough, a glove was placed inside her anus, holding her already split genitals up in front of her eyes for her to see. Then, she felt them put a soft object over one of her big toes; she understood that it was her genitals, and her own toe was inserted into her anus.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and tensed every muscle in her body, struggling to suppress a groan. A smile remained on her lips, her beautiful eyes wide open, gazing at the clouds in the sky. Where were they flying to? Were there mountains? Rivers? Flowers? Grass?

The pain slowly subsided, then vanished. A man emerged from the clouds, his face dark red, his body strong, smiling at her: "Mother of my child, we're not alone anymore." She laughed, throwing herself into his arms.

The patrons in the restaurant continued their usual hushed discussions, still about the heroine of Northeast China. This was the first time the Japanese had killed people and then refused to collect the bodies, leaving the two young, beautiful girls naked, their every secret exposed, displayed before the bell tower for three days. Their heads were cut off and hung on the wall of the bell tower. The girl who had been cleaved in two hung upside down, her intestines hanging out, while the other girl, disemboweled, lay sprawled on the ground, her heart and internal organs spilled out. Both, however, wore smiles; true heroes.

But what people talked about more was: Who exactly was this "Heroine of Northeast China"? Why did killing one result in two, and killing two in a group? Why was the "Heroine of Northeast China" still standing on the truck, while over there she had killed another hundred or so Japanese soldiers? No one could say for sure who the "Heroine of Northeast China" was, but everyone believed that as long as the Japanese remained, the "Heroine of Northeast China" would forever be a thorn in their side.
