"Yes, Brother Fan got off work in the afternoon." Hou Pingliang thought for a while and asked, "If Mr. Tian has something urgent to call Brother Fan, I can..."
"No need, tell him when he comes back and tell him that I have something to ask him," Ohta Yuichi said.
"I know."
Ohta Yuichi hung up the phone and frowned slightly.
He just called Cheng Qianfan's house, but Cheng Qianfan was not at home.
Neither at home nor in the patrol room, where has Kentaro Miyazaki gone?
"Young Master, Kunshan Huaqiao Guards is calling." A Japanese soldier ran in and handed the telegram to Yuichi Ohta with both hands.
Ohta Yuichi lowered his head to read the message, with a look of excitement on his face, "Great! This guy Saito did a great job! I want to take credit for him!"
After thinking for a moment, Ohta Yuichi revealed a fierce look in his eyes, "Call Saito back. I'm waiting for news of his victory."
"Hai."
…
soon.
Kunshan Flower Bridge.
"Captain, Master Ota called back and approved our unit's action."
Saito Kazuo glanced at the telegram, folded the telegram and put it away, waved his hand and said, "Action."
Just one day ago, the Chinese people in Huaqiao Town who were close to the empire reported to the Locust Army that there was a small group of Chinese troops hiding in Huaqiao Garden Garden.
Saito Kazuo arranged for people to conduct a secret investigation, and sure enough he discovered this small Chinese army of less than thirty people.
Kazuo Saito decided to conduct a sneak attack this afternoon.
Therefore, Kazuo Saito led a full squad of more than a dozen people, as well as more than 60 soldiers from the Nanjing Reform Government, and an armed force of nearly 80 people, carrying light and heavy firepower, led by spies, quietly headed toward Huaqiao Garden.
Zigou is close.
They did not go by land, but approached secretly through the waterway of Yangcheng Lake.
…
Gardenia Valley.
The New Fourth Army sentry on guard saw a small wooden boat slowly approaching the village in the lake and couldn't help but become alert.
He picked up the gun and pulled the bolt.
He observed carefully and found no other boats following, and there were only two fishermen on the boat who seemed to be playing with their fishing nets.
The sentry judged that this was probably a nearby fishing boat and felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the awning boat docked, the Japanese troops hiding in the awning quickly jumped out and launched a surprise attack.
The sentry was shocked. Just when he raised his gun and pulled the trigger to warn the troops, the Japanese army's crooked light machine gun opened fire fiercely.
The sentry was hit by multiple bullets and fell heroically.
Almost at the moment when the gunfire rang out, two enemy motorboats hidden in the reeds not far from the village also drove towards Gardenia Valley at full speed. There were Japanese machine gunners lying on the deck, shooting continuously along the way.
, clear all obstacles.
…
in the village.
He Guan was in a meeting with Propaganda Officer Fang Muheng and two other squad leaders when he heard loud gunshots.
"Enemy attack!" He Guan was shocked.
He picked up the Mauser pistol on the table and listened carefully.
Then, the expression on his face became more serious.
"What?" Fang Muheng asked in a deep voice.
"At least three crooked machine guns, and the sound of motor boats." He looked up at Fang Muheng, "Muheng, the enemy is coming with bad intentions."
"Aguan, you lead the first squad and the propaganda team to cover the evacuation of the people in the village. I will lead the third squad to go up." Fang Muheng pulled out the short gun from his waist and was about to rush out.
"Who are you!" He Guan grabbed Fang Muheng very roughly.
Fang Muheng stumbled and almost fell.
He Guan ignored Fang Muheng and looked at the third squad leader beside him with a cold face, "Third squad leader, tell Director Fang who I am?"
"Report to Deputy Company Commander He, you are He Guan, Deputy Company Commander of the Third Company of the Jiang Kang Advance Special Detachment of the New Fourth Army." The third squad leader said loudly.
"My order." He Guan said in a deep voice, "Comrade Fang Muheng, first squad leader Liu Mingzhao."
"Here!" First squad leader Liu Mingzhao said in salute.
"Here!" Fang Muheng's eyes turned red, and he saluted.
"Squad leader Liu, you lead a squad and work with Director Fang and the comrades from the propaganda team to cover the retreat of the people in the village." He Guan said in a deep voice.
"Deputy Company Commander He!"
"Deputy company commander."
The person who calls Deputy Company Commander He is Fang Muheng, and the person who calls Deputy Company Commander is Liu Mingzhao.
"This is an order. The situation is urgent and must be executed immediately." He Guan saluted the two of them. He glanced at Fang Muheng and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say much.
He did not look at the two of them anymore, but directly inserted the short gun into the holster, took the Hanyang-made rifle handed over by the third squad leader, and shouted in a low voice, "Third squad, follow me! Kill the Japanese!"
"Kill the Japanese!"
When He Guan led the soldiers to the village lake, the Japanese and puppet troops were rushing towards the village.
"Hit!" He Guan was running, stopped suddenly, half-crouched, and pulled the trigger. A soldier with a Japanese flag hanging on his bayonet fell to the ground at the sound.
…
"The south room is the kitchen, and there is rice in the jar."
"The water tank is in the yard, half full of water."
"There is nothing special about the surroundings. Of the two families next door, one is temporarily vacant and the other is an old household."
"This place is relatively remote, and even police officers rarely come here."
Cheng Qianfan took his eldest brother Lu Xingge with him, and he was introducing the situation of the house to Lu Xingge.
The two brothers were both extremely good agents. After hugging each other hard, they quickly wiped away their tears and returned to reason from the excitement. For them, even the exchange of heartfelt words of "reunion after a long separation" was a luxury.
"When you go out, turn right and keep walking. There is a river." Cheng Qianfan pointed to the west. "If you encounter an emergency, you can swim across it. I arranged for someone to hide a awning boat in the reeds."
Seeing his second brother conducting Ruoding and telling the story seriously, Lu Xingge felt extremely happy.
Cheng Qianfan stretched out his hand, and Hao Zai handed over a cloth bag.
"Brother, there are two grenades and dozens of rifle rounds inside." Cheng Qianfan handed the cloth bag to Lu Xingge.
"Are you leaving?" Lu Xingge took the bag and asked.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "My identity has attracted much attention, and it is not suitable for me to be out of the public eye for a long time."
He looked around the house and said, "This house is temporarily used as a shelter for the eldest brother to avoid the limelight. I have ordered Tanhuo to send someone to help the eldest brother."
"Okay!" Lu Xinge nodded.
Having just 'recognized' his second brother, he felt extremely reluctant to let go.
He still had a lot to say to Cheng Qianfan, and a lot of things to ask his second brother.
In addition, he also had too many questions in his mind, especially that his second brother turned out to be Xiao Mian, the leader of the Shanghai special situation team, which shocked him. Of course, Lu Xingge knew the discipline. He had seen through some things and knew it.
It means he can get to the bottom of it.
Just as when the two of them were talking just now, Lu Xingge didn't ask a word about the situation of the Shanghai Special Situation Team, and Cheng Qianfan didn't inquire about the situation at the Shanghai Station.
"Second brother, take care of yourself." Lu Xingge stretched out his right hand.
"Brother, take care." The two of them held their right hands tightly together.
Cheng Qianfan then saluted his eldest brother again, then turned around and left resolutely.
