Meng Shaoyuan changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier.

The leader of the team was Guo Chan's guard company commander He Xinmin.

The eight captured Japanese were imprisoned in a secluded courtyard and were closely guarded, making it difficult to escape from this place.

"If you can help me, tell me. Commander Guo has specially explained it." Outside, He Xinmin said in a very low voice: "The meal will be served immediately. You, Xiao Xu and Xiao Wu will serve the meal together, so you can observe those few people."

A Japanese."

Meng Shaoyuan said "hmm".

To be honest, the Kuomintang government treated the prisoners well. They only ate white rice and a half-vegetarian dish. This treatment was considered quite good among the current Wuhan National Army.

Five Japanese people were doing their own things in the yard.

Some closed their eyes and meditated there, and some were walking around, but no one spoke.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

As soon as he walked into the yard, Xiao Xu knocked on the rice bucket and said.

On the roof, a machine gun was set up, staring eagerly at the yard.

Soon, the other three Japanese who were in the room also came out.

Originally, he wanted to see their class status from the time they queued up to receive meals, but Meng Shaoyuan was soon disappointed.

These eight Japanese people are lined up according to their age.

So cunning.

Meng Shao was originally responsible for cooking, so he could better observe the Japanese at close range.

Japanese people are very orderly when receiving their meals.

Starting from the first Japanese, Meng Shaoyuan naturally raised his head every time he served them food.

Although it was only a very short time, at this moment, Meng Shaoyuan had clearly remembered their faces and the fleeting expressions on their faces.

When the third Japanese person came in line, Meng Shaoyuan raised his head after finishing his meal, and when he met the Japanese person's eyes, both of them had expressions of surprise and shock on their faces.

Meng Shaoyuan recognized this person!

And they are "old friends"!

Lieutenant Xiaolin!

The last time I went to Nanjing to pick up film, Hiraga Shinsaku was Second Lieutenant Kobayashi next to Colonel!

When we evacuated Nanjing, we used him to escape successfully!

Damn it, how could you meet him here?

Rukawa Kaede!

Second Lieutenant Xiaolin also recognized the Chinese soldier in front of him at a glance. He thought it was Rukawa Kaede who had been captured or killed in the raid by the Chinese guerrillas!

…

That day, after repelling the attack of the Chinese guerrillas, Second Lieutenant Kobayashi discovered that "Rukawa Kaede" was missing, and he immediately sent people to search for it.

Unfortunately, he could not find "Rukawa Maple" until dark.

Less than half a month later, Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin was transferred to the front-line unit, and this became a regret for him in the years to come.

The life and death of "Rukawa-kun" is unknown, and there is a high possibility that he was captured or killed by the Chinese.

That is all his own responsibility. If he could let "Rukawa-kun" stay with him that day, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened. That is all his own responsibility.

"Rukawa-kun, I'm sorry."

Every time he had free time during the war, the figure of that young man would always appear in Second Lieutenant Xiaolin's mind.

…

But now, this young man appeared in front of him again, and he actually wore the uniform of a Chinese soldier?

what happened?

Although Lieutenant Xiaolin was shocked inside, his face was expressionless.

This also fully reflects the quality of a Japanese officer.

Find an opportunity to contact him and ask him what is going on.

Then, maybe he can help himself...

…

Damn it, why did you meet Second Lieutenant Xiaolin here?

Has your identity been exposed?

No, that day, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin thought he was captured or missing.

The expression on his face just now was one of shock.

Even, there was a hint of joy.

He was overjoyed to discover that he was not dead!

Plans have changed!

Meng Shaoyuan made a judgment in his mind in the shortest time...

…

"Things have changed."

As soon as he went out, Meng Shaoyuan immediately said to He Xinmin: "There is a Japanese there who recognizes me."

He Xinmin immediately became nervous: "What should we do?"

"It doesn't matter." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "He probably doesn't know my identity yet. Captain He, please find a way to allow me to have personal contact with Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin."

"Okay!" He Xinmin had no time to think: "Their interrogation will continue in the afternoon, and I will specially arrange for you to be alone with him."

The plan has been made, but now there are changes...

…

Interrogation is a daily routine for these eight Japanese people.

This time it was slightly different. It seemed that Lieutenant Xiaolin was taken out too early, and the previous interrogation of the Japanese was not over yet.

He had to wait in the outside room.

Two Chinese soldiers guarded him.

One of them is Rukawa Kaede.

"Hey, I'm going to go to the hut."

said a soldier.

"Go." "Rukawa Kaede" Meng Shaoyuan had no expression on his face.

As soon as the soldiers went out, Meng Shaoyuan looked outside and turned around: "Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin, why were you caught by the Chinese?"

"Rukawa-kun, you, you are not dead." Second Lieutenant Xiaolin asked, "That day, I thought you fell into the hands of the Chinese."

"Yes, I was caught by the Chinese." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about how to answer: "But have you forgotten, I speak Chinese very well, I said I was a college student and was caught by the Japanese

, they believed me and forced me to become a soldier."

In China, things like arresting young men are common. Second Lieutenant Xiaolin didn't find it strange at all: "After you disappeared, I was quickly transferred to the front line. Unfortunately, I was caught by the Chinese this time. Mr. Rukawa, I miss you very much."

"I miss you too, Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin." Meng Shaoyuan said eagerly: "We were such good friends in Nanjing. No, I can't see you being tortured by the Chinese. I want to save you."

"It's not that simple."

Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin's mind is still very clear: "The Chinese people are very well-defended. If you act rashly, you will be exposed."

He liked this young man who was about the same age as himself.

Therefore, he did not want anything unexpected to happen to this young man.

"No, I must do this." Meng Shaoyuan looked very stubborn: "What's more, I have never forgotten that I am a citizen of the Yamato nation. How can I kill my compatriots with weapons on the battlefield?

"

Second Lieutenant Xiaolin thought for a moment: "Rukawa-kun, let's do this. Don't act rashly. I'll think about the plan carefully. You must protect yourself."

"Yes, please don't worry."

"Okay, the Chinese are going to interrogate me soon, Rukawa-kun, don't show anything strange."

The room immediately became silent again.

…

Judging from the tone of Second Lieutenant Xiaolin's conversation and facial expression just now, he did not doubt himself.

Moreover, when he proposed the rescue, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin refused at first, but later he was obviously tempted by his persistence.
