The overall rescue operation lasted until noon the next day. It was originally planned that at 4 a.m. the latest train was loaded with US Navy prisoners of war. Then a support force guided them into the mountains. *Book! Bar*

However, after the Japanese and puppet troops who received the news, the train had been on and off since they passed the Suihua Station. The nearby Japanese army continued to counterattack and responded to the troops, and even the 28th Division, which participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Little Hing'anling area, drew several brigades to return to defense in reverse and intercept the train. Fortunately, it started to rain heavily after dawn, which stopped the bombing of Kanto Army aircraft in time. After the rain stopped, the only remaining eight I 16s and one Jacques 1 in the mountains were dispatched. They fought desperately with more than 20 Japanese aircraft over the area along the northeastern Suihua railway line. At the cost of the four planes crashing, they finally stopped the bombing of Japanese aircraft and covered the prisoners of war trains to safely reach their destination.

A few days later, Stante, the special envoy of the US president, sent a report back to the distant United States.

Dear President! As your envoy, I think my mission has been basically completed. With the help of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces of China, more than a thousand American prisoners of war have successfully arrived in a safe area. They will wait for the right time to cross the China-Russia border to reach Russia.

There is another issue that the president is very concerned about, which is the safety of Navy Major Franklin Jr. Two days ago, I sent you a briefing to explain Franklin Jr. He was not in the prisoner-of-war camp at the time. I believe you were very sad after knowing this result, but today I have good news to tell you.

The Chinese special agents captured three more important figures of the Japanese army, including Major General Shiro Ishii, the head of the Bacterial Force of the Japanese Kanto Army, and Major General Masaji Kitano, the president of the "Manchukuo" Medical University. It is reported that Masaji Kitano is also an important figure in bacterial warfare, and the other is Colonel Nakaru Kinzo, the general affairs director of the Bacterial Force.

These people are very important to Japan. Without them, the development of the bacterial force will decline. So when the Anti-Japanese United Army notified the Japanese side to exchange captured personnel, the Japanese side quickly gave an answer, allowing Shiro Ishii and Masaji Kitano to exchange Franklin for Kobayashi. The Anti-Japanese United Army only allows one person to exchange for one person. If all three of them are going back, 20 Chinese underground intelligence personnel must be released. The two sides are in a new round of negotiations, but I think they will eventually compromise with each other. After all, both sides have the personnel they want, and I judge that this problem can be solved in the short term.

Now, please allow me to introduce you to this Chinese resistance army. Before I came to China, I had never heard of a Chinese team like this where the Japanese had been operating for many years.

Through communication with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces generals, I have a preliminary understanding of their establishment and current composition.

Their predecessor was first established in 1931. It is a remnant of a local warlord unit called the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. It is a mixture of civil resistance organizations of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrillas and several armed forces of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army.

At the beginning, the teams were spontaneously organized by Chinese people who were unwilling to be conquered. Later, they gradually gained leadership. **They had strong organizational capabilities, had clear programs, and the concept of equality among all, and quickly integrated most of the chaotic resistance armed forces.

These people who believe in Marx's theory are not evil, they are not as fierce as we promote. They do not act badly to the people and are kind to us.

They fought extremely frequently with the Japanese. According to the information they provided, from 1931 to 1942, they fought as many as 100,000 battles with the Japanese and the "Manchukuo" government forces, killing more than 40,000 Japanese and more than 20,000 armed forces of various types, including the "Manchukuo" government forces. During their development, they once had a scale of 300,000. However, two years ago, the armed forces suffered a devastating blow. The Japanese used their superior forces and economic means to divide and disintegrate the troops. By February 1940, the remaining 3,000 Anti-Japanese United Army soldiers retreated into Russia and reappeared on this land after resting in Russia for a period of time.

As for what deal they made with the Russians, it is unknown, and this is still a secret to us.

When they returned to China in March 1941, the team composition changed greatly. Some Chinese workers working in the mountains joined them, and their weapons and equipment improved greatly. The biggest development was during the brief border conflict between Russia and Japan. Tens of thousands of Chinese workers working on the border fled into Russia while the chaos was in chaos and were incorporated into an army by the Anti-Japanese United Nations. Then, after short-term training, these workers entered Northeast China and joined the resistance armed forces.

This emerging army fought against the Japanese many times, and there was a case of killing more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers. After more than a year of fighting, they gained a foothold in the mountains of northeastern China and controlled the large and large Xing'an Mountains of up to 100,000 square miles. Although this control was not very stable and some areas were still under heavy pressure from the Japanese army, there was finally a rear area, which they called the base area.

According to my interview with ordinary soldiers, I learned that these soldiers were still illiterate farmers a year ago, but in the Anti-Japanese United Army team, literacy is a necessary subject. They use all their spare time to recognize words and learn culture. Even during the march, the people behind hung a white cloth full of words on the back of the people in front, and read while walking. In this way, they mastered culture and were free from ignorance and were able to better use and maintain the weapons in their hands. This is a miracle that they had never heard of.

The army's weapons and equipment are very advanced, including several new individual weapons that do not even have the US military, such as infrared fluoroscopy, automatic grenade launcher, gun-mounted grenade launcher, controlled rocket systems that can destroy tanks from a long distance, and remote-controlled explosive devices. These are things I have never seen in the US military.

Logistical supplies can barely support the operation of this army in general. The arsenals they cooperate with the Russians sometimes transport weapons and ammunition. As for food and grass, they rely on the provisions of people's organizations in the mountainous areas. The land here is fertile, and it looks like this year is a good year. The weather is good, and the food will definitely be a bumper harvest. Their meat supplement is mainly hunting, and the animal food in the mountainous areas is surprising.

From generals to ordinary soldiers, this army was filled with an optimistic spirit. Ordinary soldiers were simple and kind, and had high morale.
Chapter completed!
