The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 263 Deep Behind Enemy Lines to Snatch Equipment

Lin Fan thought for a moment, "We'll need the help of you ground crew after midnight.

How many people do you have?"

Ji Weilin was a bit hesitant, but he still said, "We have a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people."

Lin Fan said, "As you can see, we've just arrived at Jianqiao, and the first thing is to rush the transportation of supplies.

These supplies can't be moved all at once or twice.

The entire Jianqiao Airport will be busy all night tonight.

If you guys retreat at twelve o'clock, we, who have no experience, won't be able to operate at all!

Captain Ji, if your people are willing to stay, I'll have the last plane take you to Guangde or Quzhou."

"But our orders are to retreat to Lin'an!"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I'll immediately send a telegram to Chief Li requesting that you go to Guangde.

Guangde also has one of our airports, and right now, it needs excellent ground crew like you to manage it."

Captain Ji Weilin didn't quite believe Lin Fan's words, "You only have one transport plane, it can't possibly take all of us, over a hundred people, in one go."

Lin Fan laughed, "We're here to scout the way. At eight o'clock, eight transport planes will arrive at the same time.

They're all here to rush the transportation of supplies."

Captain Ji Weilin sighed, "They're only sending so many planes to help now that we're retreating tonight.

What were they doing all those days before?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "The past few days, if we hadn't come, the National Army's planes wouldn't have dared to come.

Afraid of being attacked by the Japs!

Now that we're here, if the Japs' planes dare to come, we'll make sure they don't return."

Captain Ji Weilin said, "Brigade Commander Lin is joking!"

He didn't believe it at all, and it was impossible for him to believe Lin Fan's statement.

Lin Fan pointed to the airport control tower and asked, "Can we dismantle the radio in the control tower?"

Captain Ji Weilin said, "Yes! Everything can be dismantled.

Anyway, if it's not dismantled, it'll only benefit the Japs.

If I could, I'd be happy to pack up the runway's land and take it away."

"Forget about the land, but the radio is a good thing.

It's just a pity there are too few!" Lin Fan sighed.

Ji Weilin said with a smile, "The radio is a precious thing, but there are quite a few.

All the National Army tanks participating in the Hangzhou operation had radio systems."

"So what? They're all brotherly units, I can't possibly go and rob my brothers, can I?

If I really did that, Chief Li would probably be the first to execute me," Lin Fan said jokingly.

"Chief Li wouldn't care at all, he'd even give you a medal. Up until today,

a total of thirteen tanks were destroyed by the Japs in Hangzhou.

If you went to those tanks and retrieved the radios for your own use, Chief Li would only reward you," Ji Weilin said in the same joking tone.

He had just finished speaking.

It was as if he saw the eyes of Brigade Commander Lin opposite him suddenly light up under the firelight.

Lin Fan asked, "Where are those tanks?"

"Scattered on the battlefield, but mostly concentrated in Linping!" Ji Weilin said.

Lin Fan said, "Very good! The information you provided is very valuable, I'm going to move the radios from those tanks back."

Ji Weilin suddenly panicked a little, "You can't be serious, right! You only have so few people, it's impossible."

Lin Fan said, "No, we have more than just these people, there are quite a few of our troops behind us.

Now I need to figure out exactly where those tanks are."

Lin Fan said to Ji Weilin, "I will contact the Fifth War Zone immediately and have you take a plane to Guangde at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he immediately had the radio set up and began sending telegrams.

Ji Weilin looked at this Brigade Commander Lin in surprise: he didn't draft the message before sending it, nor did he translate it.

He just started sending the message like that.

Before long, he saw Lin Fan starting to receive telegrams.

Rows of numbers were written on paper.

After Lin Fan translated it in front of him, he said to Ji Weilin, "The Fifth War Zone has agreed that you will retreat by plane at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"

For Ji Weilin and his men, this was good news.

At least they wouldn't have to squeeze on the road with brotherly units anymore.

Lin Fan asked, "I'm going to call the airport! I want to ask the Tank Regiment where their tanks were destroyed.

That way, we can quickly find those tanks."

Dai Wenyi, the company commander of the tank company of the Fifth War Zone participating in the Battle of Hangzhou, had retreated to Tianmu Mountain.

Although these technicians had their tanks destroyed, as long as they were still alive,

they could go to the battlefield again if they had tanks.

Just as Dai Wenyi was staring blankly in the direction of Hangzhou, the signal soldier came to deliver a message: "There's a phone call from the front line for Company Commander Dai!"

"At this time, the front line is calling me, what's the matter?" Dai Wenyi couldn't figure it out.

He ran to the telephone, answered the phone, and just said "Hello."

He heard a voice from the other side introducing himself: "I am Lin Fan, the brigade commander of the Special Brigade of the Fifth War Zone.

Are you Dai Wenyi, the company commander of the tank company?" "I am!"

"I'm calling to collect statistics on where the tanks of your company were destroyed by the Japs," Lin Fan said.

Those tanks were completely like his own children to Company Commander Dai Wenyi.

He remembered clearly the location of each tank.

In the phone, he told all the locations where those tanks were destroyed.

Lin Fan wrote them down one by one. Lin Fan was not clear about these place names.

Now he had to find a local guide to take him to find them tomorrow.

Before the call ended, Dai Wenyi finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir! What are you doing asking about this?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Dismantling parts! I'm going to dismantle those parts and bring them back."

Of course, Dai Wenyi knew that the tanks in his company were very valuable.

But once these tanks were destroyed, they would no longer have any value.

This Brigade Commander Lin Fan of the Special Brigade didn't know what he could use these tanks for.

And now, the locations of those tanks were already under the control of the Japs.

This batch of tanks was bought by the National Army for 1.03 million Imperial Marks, equivalent to 34 million US dollars today.

Lin Fan learned from Company Commander Dai Wenyi that this type of tank weighed 5.4 tons, which could be transported by car.

"If possible, I want to transport the entire tank away. No matter what, it's something worth more than a million marks," Lin Fan had a plan in mind.

The Special Brigade's plane was returning fully loaded. He was going to take these supplies to Guangde first.

Then fly to Anji to bring people over.

At eight o'clock, Jianqiao Airport began to bustle.

Eight transport planes landed, and teams of soldiers got off the planes.

This time, the supplies prepared by the airport had been waiting by the runway for a long time.

The soldiers who got off the plane had just unloaded the equipment they were carrying.

They immediately began to load the supplies prepared for each plane onto the planes under Lin Fan's instructions.

Eight transport planes were loading cargo at the same time.

Half an hour later, all the supplies were loaded.

From the moment they received the mission to send the Special Brigade's soldiers to Jianqiao Airport tonight,

Jing Mingda, Chai Lirong, and the other pilots knew: "This is going to be another hard night!"

The Special Brigade had always used their planes as mules and horses.

Sure enough, they had only received orders to send people over there.

As a result, they were fully loaded on the way back.

That's not all: the Special Brigade also asked them to come again!

In this way, on the evening of the 25th, these eight planes made a trip every hour, starting from 8:00 PM and running until 7:00 AM.

Gao Xiangchen, the captain of the air defense battalion, and Zong Zhuang, the captain of the airport guard battalion, both retreated from Jianqiao Airport on time at twelve o'clock.

In fact, after the Special Brigade's troops arrived at Jianqiao Airport at eight o'clock,

the Third Regiment had already taken over the defense of the entire airport under Lin Fan's orders.

Lin Fan also hired a dozen local Hangzhou people at high prices to be guides for his troops.

These guides followed the Special Company and received five yuan a day.

Such a salary was definitely sky-high for ordinary people.

Lin Fan had already asked these guides about the locations of the tanks that he had noted on the paper.

He had also decided on a general direction for the retreat route of his troops.

The National Army had left him with twenty Mercedes-Benz cars when they retreated.

Only the 176mm Krupp howitzers promised by Chief Li had not been seen by Lin Fan until now.

But these were all negligible.

Lin Fan had never imagined that so many supplies would be piled up in Jianqiao.

It was truly worthy of being an economically developed area in this era.

Even though the National Army had already begun to evacuate factories and supplies from Hangzhou,

people always had a fantasy before the war broke out: thinking that the Japs would not attack Hangzhou.

After all, the Japs did not take the opportunity to occupy Hangzhou after landing in Hangzhou Bay.

By the time the Japs really started to attack Hangzhou, there were too many supplies to be evacuated.

So they were piled up here. If the Special Brigade hadn't made this transaction, all these supplies would have been burned to the ground.

In one night, each of the eight transport planes made eleven trips.

More than a thousand tons of supplies were rushed out.

Lin Fan was secretly delighted: "Earned! Made a big profit!"

Of course, this business!

Lin Fan also had to safely bring his subordinates back to Anji from Hangzhou before it could be considered complete.

Otherwise, even if they rushed back with more supplies, losing a regiment of troops

would be too much of a blow to the Special Brigade.

They had always been victorious since the founding of the army!

Victory! Constant victory!

This had cultivated the current momentum of the Special Brigade!

All the soldiers of the Special Brigade were not afraid of the Japs.

In their eyes, the Japs were all defeated by the Special Brigade:

not to be feared! When Captain Ji Weilin led his ground crew onto the transport plane,

he saw that the soldiers who had landed at the airport last night really didn't leave with the plane.

He couldn't help but worry about them.

His men were finally relieved.

At twelve o'clock last night, the officers and soldiers of the ground crew battalion

knew that the guard battalion and the air defense battalion had all retreated.

They still had to stick to the airport, and everyone started making a fuss.

It was still Captain Ji Weilin and Lin Fan, one playing the white face and the other playing the black face.

They coaxed and frightened them before they left these people behind.

At that time, Lin Fan said; let them take the 7 o'clock transport plane to evacuate.

At that time, these soldiers were also very reluctant.

However, they saw that the Special Brigade soldiers who had just arrived from Anji were the same as them.

They all stayed at Jianqiao Airport and did not evacuate with other National Army troops.

These ground crew soldiers were finally a little balanced in their hearts:

although they couldn't leave, at least the Special Brigade soldiers who had just been airdropped from other places couldn't leave either.

Now these soldiers who had been busy all night were finally on the plane and were about to leave.

They looked at the Special Brigade soldiers left behind at the airport, and their hearts were full of pride.

At the same time, they were very puzzled:

as long as they loaded fewer supplies, these people could have left with the plane.

Why did they still have to stay behind to die?

These soldiers couldn't figure it out!

On the morning of the 26th: the artillery of the Japanese 18th Division and the 114th Division once again launched a fierce bombardment of the National Army's positions.

Yesterday, they had occupied the National Army's outer defense line, and today they were just waiting to enter the city.

After a fierce artillery bombardment, these Japs launched a general attack.

When Squad Leader Chiba Santaro led his soldiers to charge, he felt a little strange:

today was different from the past, the National Army did not fire when charging.

Not a single cannon was fired, not a single shot was fired!

In these days, Squad Leader Chiba Santaro had seen too many imperial soldiers killed by the National Army soldiers who resisted stubbornly.

Originally, his squad was dispatched to launch the first round of charge today, and Squad Leader Chiba Santaro was still very afraid.

Now he was ecstatic: just rush up and occupy the position!

His entire Chiba squad had completed the mission.

When the entire Chiba squad of Japs rushed into the position, they realized:

the entire National Army's position was empty.

The National Army had all retreated last night.

Such good news was immediately reported layer by layer.

Nishijima Sadao, the commander of the Japanese 18th Division, and Suematsu Shigeharu, the commander of the 114th Division, almost simultaneously received reports from their respective troops: the National Army had retreated.

The National Army had abandoned Hangzhou!

Such good news finally relieved Commander Yanagawa Heisuke:

the price paid by the Tenth Army in this attack on Hangzhou was too great.

The losses were even greater than those suffered when attacking Nanjing.

Not only did they lose more than 10,000 imperial warriors, but they also lost more than 30 tanks, sank six warships, and seriously injured one cruiser.

Fortunately, all of this was over, and the next thing the Tenth Army had to do was to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Through these months of fighting with the National Army, Commander Yanagawa Heisuke had been looking forward to this moment in his heart.

After all, when the National Army retreated, it was the beginning of the rout!

This was the time for the imperial warriors to show their skills.

The Tenth Army Headquarters had already made plans for pursuing the National Army.

It was time to issue them.

It's dawn!

The First Company of the Third Regiment of the Special Brigade set off towards Linping under the leadership of the guide.

The task that Company Commander Na Wenxuan received was: to find a safe road for the large troops behind.

Report the situation in a timely manner.

Five hundred meters behind the First Company was the main force led by Lin Fan.

Among this troop were not only soldiers from the Special Company.

There were also more than 300 ordinary people driving large carts together.

These were the supplies that the airport had not had time to transport.

Even so, there were still many supplies at Jianqiao Airport that could not be taken away.

Lin Fan could only burn those supplies to the ground, he couldn't hand them over to the Japs!

Such behavior was not pitying the supplies, it was helping the enemy!

When the Special Brigade left, the supplies piled up at the airport were burning with raging fire.

The airport's oil depot, hangar, and control tower were professionally demolished by Lin Fan.

If the Japs wanted to use these places, the cost would be much higher than building these facilities from scratch.

At least they had to clean up these unusable garbage before they could build new ones.

The Special Brigade had tried their best to select the most valuable things to transport from the supplies piled up at the airport.

The coolies they hired were actually laborers who had been pulled over by the National Army a long time ago.

These laborers only had food to eat every day, and no wages.

When Lin Fan found out, he generously said: starting from last night, everyone would get five yuan a day.

This made the laborers who had been complaining rejoice.

Lin Fan had promised to give each of these people three yuan tonight.

When the large carts were delivered to Anji, all the money would be paid.

This was the method Lin Fan learned from later generations, advance payment, wage deposit.

These laborers, people were running away every day.

They had many ways to run away, some people secretly gave the National Army soldiers some money.

They would turn a blind eye and let him run away.

This was the safest.

The other people would wait until they turned a corner, and when the guarding National Army was not paying attention, they would run away.

This was risky: they were afraid of being seen and shot.

If they were hit by a bullet, it was their bad luck, if they were not hit, it was their luck.

If it weren't for the five yuan Lin Fan said, there would definitely be many people running away today.

In fact, even three yuan a day was enough to satisfy these coolies.

They were originally pulled over by the National Army for labor, and there was no such thing as wages.

They were now half-believing and half-doubting Lin Fan's words, but as coolies.

These people had no way to think: run? They definitely couldn't run.

There were officers with guns watching around them.

Since they couldn't run, they could only believe it!

Now they could only hope that the five yuan could really be paid to them.

But these laborers were very happy this morning:

the breakfast that the officer who had just taken over gave them was compressed biscuits and canned meat.

These were all good things!

Lin Fan saw that these laborers were reluctant to eat, and said to them with a smile:

"Don't worry, everyone, eat! After arriving at Anji, I will give each of you a pound of this kind of biscuit and five cans of meat.

Not counting the money!

If you don't eat enough now, how will you follow us today?"

The officers gave the order, and these laborers had no choice but to eat the good things they wanted to leave for their children and wives with tears in their eyes.

The taste of canned meat was really fragrant!

The First Company, which was leading the way, encountered the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron who was ordered to take over Jianqiao three miles away from Jianqiao Airport.

The Yatsuya Takumi Squadron was just the vanguard force to take over Jianqiao Airport.

Behind them was the entire Shiboi Taiki Battalion.

It was just because the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron was ahead of the entire battalion, so the battalion commander ordered them to go straight to the airport as soon as possible.

Report the situation at the airport. If the airport could land planes,

the imperial planes would land at Jianqiao Airport.

These Japs in the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron were less than five miles away from the airport.

Along the way, the ordinary people on the side of the road were hiding behind the doors and watching in fear.

There were no other actions, and the march today was very smooth, and they did not encounter a single National Army soldier.

There was no interference at all.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi was very satisfied with the current situation.

When Company Commander Na Wenxuan saw a team of Japs rushing straight over from the road ahead, he immediately ordered:

"The First Platoon attacks head-on! The Second Platoon flanks from the left, and the Third Platoon flanks from the right."

Before the company commander's order was finished, the heavy machine gun of the First Platoon had already opened fire.

Under the leadership of the guides, the Second Platoon and the Third Platoon immediately rushed out from the sides.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi was still walking proudly on the road just now, but he was suddenly brought back to reality by the oncoming rain of bullets.

"Fire back! Fire back!" The captain's order was a little late.

When the Japs in the entire squadron were attacked, they immediately lay down and fired.

The whole set of actions was done smoothly. The ones charging ahead were five small pushcarts-like weapons.

The five gun barrels were firing non-stop.

The mortars of the First Company also fired at this time.

The entire First Company knew: they were in the Japs' hinterland.

They could not fight the Japs for a long time. If they could not repel the Japs and eliminate the Japs in the first time,

the entire team here today would be in danger after the Japs called for reinforcements.

The heavy machine guns of the First Company were charging, the mortars were attacking, and the infantrymen were also charging behind the heavy machine guns.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi had never encountered such a National Army troop.

The two sides suddenly encountered each other: they just charged directly like this, and did not do some normal combat operations such as lying down, hiding, and test firing.

Company Commander Na Wenxuan was now directly pushing, letting the First Platoon push over from the front.

The distance between the two sides quickly changed from 100 meters to 50 meters.

The heavy machine guns were still wreaking havoc, and the mortars were still bombarding.

The Japs in the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron could not bear it.

They lay down on the ground, although they could reduce the possibility of being hit from the front.

But this troop was about to rush in front of them, and people could trample these Japs who fell on the ground to death with their feet.

The Japs in the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron began to roll to both sides of the road, and they were ready to preserve their strength.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi gave the order: "Retreat to the left!"

At this time, there was no need for any cover, five heavy machine guns were facing them, and all the Japs in the entire squadron were on the road.

No one could cover anyone!

On their left was a bamboo forest. After rushing in, it would make it difficult for this crazy National Army troop to chase in.

At least their pushcarts could not enter the bamboo forest.

The squadron leader's order was issued, and the entire squadron of Japs immediately rolled from a few Japs rolling left and right to dodge just now.

It turned into all of them rolling to the left. The firepower of the Special Brigade was too fierce.

None of these Japs dared to stand up and move to the left.

They were all thinking of rolling to the side of the road, getting close to the bamboo forest before getting up, and then rushing into the bamboo forest, so that it would be safe.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi himself thought so too.

He also rolled to the ditch on the side of the bamboo forest road. Although there was some mud in the ditch,

it was finally a small trench, which could be regarded as a natural bunker.

With this bunker, the dozens of remaining Japs in the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron finally had a little bit of confidence.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi shouted loudly: "Machine guns! Machine guns fire!"

The distance between the two sides was too close, and the grenade launchers could not fire.

The mortars of the Special Brigade also stopped bombarding at this time. The First Platoon had already rushed to the front of the Japs, and if they bombed again, they would hurt their own people.

At this time, the soldiers of the Third Platoon suddenly rushed out of the bamboo forest.

Under the leadership of the guides, they came to flank the Japs from the right.

Now the dozens of remaining Japs in the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron were attacked from both sides.

And they had already rushed to the front.

Captain Yatsuya Takumi shouted loudly: "The National Army is too fierce! Retreat! Retreat!"

The soldiers of the First Platoon who had rushed to the front of the Japs rushed out from behind the pushcarts.

The rifles in their hands had already been fitted with bayonets.

These bayonets were stabbed at the Japs.

The First Company did not have time to clean up the battlefield. After annihilating the Yatsuya Takumi Squadron, they continued to explore the way forward.

Because they were delayed here for a while, the large troops behind them had already caught up.

Na Wenxuan ordered: "First Company! Everyone! Run forward!"

Lin Fan ordered: "The Third Company cleans up the battlefield! After cleaning up, follow up immediately."

Shi Feijie, who was pulling the mules and horses with the Special Brigade, looked at the Japs who were dragged on the side of the road.

He said loudly to Quan Wenxing, who was walking in front of him: "I said just now that I heard gunshots in front.

You didn't believe it, saying that the gunshots were from a distance.

Look: these Japs were just killed.

The blood they shed flowed into the ditch on the side of the road."

Quan Wenxing whispered, "These Japs just died, and you can't say that no one was shooting in the distance just now!"

Shi Feijie said to the soldiers who were following them with a smile: "Officer! Were these Japs all killed by you?"

Yu Xiangyu, who was following them, said proudly:

"Of course these Japs were killed by our people.

You also said that the Japs are still bleeding!"

Yu Xiangyu was also a puppet soldier who was captured in Jurong and joined the Special Brigade after receiving training.

These days, he fought a battle with the Third Regiment in Anji, and now he was very proud.

Now that someone was willing to listen, he was also willing to talk.

First, he talked about the heroic deeds of their ambush of two battalions of Japs and one battalion of puppet troops in Anji yesterday.

This was what he had personally experienced, of course he had to explain it with embellishments.

The road was still long enough for him to tell stories.

Unknowingly, more than a dozen people driving large carts ran over to listen to him.

As for those mules, they would follow the large carts in front of them by themselves.

Originally, these people were a little afraid when they heard the gunshots in front, but now they were not afraid because they were listening to Yu Xiangyu's stories about the Special Brigade fighting the Japs.

Jiao Huamao, who was the guide for the First Company, explained to Company Commander Na Wenxuan a little uneasily:

"This road is usually not used by many people. I don't know why these Japs also came this way."

Company Commander Na Wenxuan said with a smile: "It's okay! We just need to find a way to go.

If the Japs want to come and die, we don't mind sending them on their way."

Jiao Huamao quickly said, "That's right! That's right!"

He was now also very impressed with this team. Just now, they had killed so many Japs.

In this team, only two were injured.

Jiao Huamao was an old guide.

He used to specialize in guiding wealthy people who had just arrived in Hangzhou in Hangzhou.

He did not know the road in the entire Hangzhou city and the suburbs of Hangzhou, and he did not know the place.

These were his skills for making a living, and he could not fail to understand them.

The National Army had also asked him to be a guide these days.

It's just that those National Army were obviously not as generous as this team called the Special Brigade, and gave more wages.

They were not as fierce as this team.

Just now, Jiao Huamao saw that after the Japs were discovered, the company commander asked him to hide as soon as possible.

The soldiers of their company, everyone's eyes sparkled, as if people who had been hungry for a long time had suddenly seen countless delicacies.

Jiao Huamao pointed to the road ahead and said:

"Company Commander Na! Judging from the traces on this ground, the Japs just now came from the road on the right.

Let's take the road on the left!

Although this road is farther, it can avoid the Japs."

Company Commander Na Wenxuan thought for a while: "Okay!"

From Jianqiao Airport to Linping, there were 20 miles.

The Special Brigade only encountered that Japanese squadron after leaving the airport.

After that, they had not encountered a single Jap in these dozen miles.

However, people on the side of the road often ran out kindly to ask this team:

"Are you lost?

If you go forward from here, it is the Japs' territory."

Some people who knew Jiao Huamao also asked him in a low voice:

"Are you going to be a traitor? Sending this National Army team to the Japs?"

Jiao Huamao explained with a wry smile: "The officers want to come to Linping to transport back the tanks that were destroyed by the Japs a few days ago."

Hearing him explain this, and looking at the expressions on the faces of the soldiers of this National Army team, it did not seem like they were in a hurry to escape.

The faces of these soldiers were full of fighting spirit, how could they look like defeated soldiers who had been defeated by the Japs?

Immediately someone stood up and said: "I know there are two tanks in front,

lying there for several days.

I will lead you!

It's just that you people can't move such a heavy lump of iron."

Company Commander Na Wenxuan immediately said: "Don't worry, brother!

Our large troops are still behind, there are cars."

Jiao Huamao also said: "There are thousands of people behind them,

You lead them the way, and you will get one yuan."

This villager immediately happily followed up and talked about the tank battles that had taken place in this area a few days ago while walking.

Na Wenxuan heard this guide say that someone in the neighboring village had rescued a female soldier who drove a tank yesterday.

He immediately became interested: The brigade commander must take these tanks back.

It was definitely not to recycle scrap iron, and there were people in the tank Special Brigade who could drive.

But there was no woman who drove a tank in the Special Brigade.

Na Wenxuan said to this newly added guide: "What is the name of that female soldier?"

"I don't know! We just heard about it!"

Na Wenxuan said to this newly added guide: "We will go and see that female soldier later.

Now this place has been occupied by the Japs, and if you don't evacuate in time,

it will become more and more dangerous."

Two tanks were parked in place, the tracks were broken, and the side of the tank was blown to pieces by artillery shells.

Na Wenxuan ordered the three platoons under his command to set up outposts far away.

After Lin Fan and the others came up, he reported the news he had just inquired about.

Lin Fan ordered: "You send a squad of soldiers over. If that female soldier is still hiding in the homes of the people,

take her over."

Squad Leader Xian Junhao immediately led a dozen soldiers, riding horses and running out with the guide.

The village that this guide was talking about was not actually far away, less than a thousand meters away.

When these people rode their horses into the village, there was immediately a chaos.

When Xian Junhao took this guide off the horse, he staggered two steps before he stood firm.

He shouted to a family: "Brother Zhang! Are you home?"

Someone answered behind the door: "Li Laosan! What are you doing at my house?"

Li Laosan said with a smile: "These officers are from the Special Brigade of the Fifth War Zone. They are here to find that female officer."

A voice came from behind the door: "She has already left!"

Xian Junhao heard the sound of pulling the bolt from behind the door and immediately shouted:

"Don't shoot! We are really from the Fifth War Zone."

A female voice suddenly came from behind the door: "There is no Special Brigade in the Fifth War Zone!

You are the Japs in disguise."

Hearing what this voice said.

Zhang Laosan hurriedly backed away, trying to stay away from these soldiers.

He backed away too quickly, fell down, sat on the ground, quickly got up, and wanted to leave.

Xian Junhao shouted: "Zhang Laosan! Aren't you going back with us?"

Zhang Laosan's face turned red: "No! I'm not going back!"

Xian Junhao could not care about him at this time, and continued to say to the door:

"If we were really the Japs, we would have rushed in directly.

Why would we still be waiting outside.

Don't hesitate any longer, the Japs have now entered Hangzhou.

The longer the time, the more unsafe it will be here."

The person in the door hesitated: "There is no Special Brigade in the Fifth War Zone!"

Xian Junhao said: "We were only established the night before yesterday.

The night before yesterday, the planes with tigers painted on them in the sky above Hangzhou were from our Special Brigade."

The door opened suddenly, and a female officer rushed out with a small pistol in her hand:

"It's really you!"

"Apart from us! What other team would dare to run to Hangzhou at this time!"

Xian Junhao shouted loudly.

The soldiers behind him, riding on war horses, watched the female officer run out.

Nor did they surround her.

Zhang Laosan also ran back at this time: "Officer!"

Xian Junhao got off the war horse, did not pick up the female soldier, and walked into this family's house.

He took out ten yuan, handed it over, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang! This is a thank you from the Special Brigade for protecting our people. A thank you."

Brother Zhang was about to decline.

Xian Junhao said: "Don't make a fuss, it will not be good for you if the neighbors know about it."

Brother Zhang only knew why he came in and spoke in a low voice.

He had to accept it and said: "Everyone is responsible for resisting the war and defending the territory. We cannot go to the battlefield.

We should be able to do what we can for the country."

Xian Junhao nodded.

He came out and asked the female officer: "What is your name?"

"Lieutenant Bao Wubing of the Tank Company, Liu Ziqian!"
