At around 12 o'clock in the evening, a group of people had arrived at Jiangkeng Village in the southeast of Luzhi Town. They had been marching for nearly four hours and were exhausted. However, they must have walked out of the encirclement of the Japanese Special High School. Although it looked on the map that it was far away from Luzhi.

The straight-line distance between the town and the town is actually only 8 kilometers.

Although the Japanese have occupied such a large area, it will still take time to truly control this place. This cannot be achieved in a short time.

According to Li Yuan's idea, he would have to march overnight. However, the pampered men of the military commander could no longer keep up with the pace of Yang Ping's actions. Marching with such intensity, Li Yuan and others were childish, and several leaders of the military commander had already called Wang Jin to inform them.

Li Yuan discussed the next itinerary. It seemed that they had some other arrangements.

Li Yuan asked Yang Ping to be on guard in front, and walked aside with Wang Jin and the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man gasped and spoke: "My dear Chen Chuzhi, this time Platoon Commander Li has given me a generous helping hand. Next we will definitely eliminate the spies within us. There are our national army brothers in Jiangkeng, so we won't bother Brother Li anymore."

."

Having received the signal early, Wang Jin said: "This is Chen Chuzhi, the station commander of our military command in southern Jiangsu. If you hadn't warned us this time, we might have suffered heavy losses."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat: This was an ejection order: "Stationmaster Chen, you're welcome. The wounded of our 49th Army are taking care of you in Kunshan. I haven't had time to thank you yet." Everyone carried the sedan chair.

Stationmaster Chen smiled and said: "I'm a little presumptuous today. Please don't mind me, Platoon Commander Li. The main thing is that things happened suddenly. I don't know much about these situations. If there are any abruptness, please forgive me. It's all for the sake of peace."

The party and the state will need more cooperation in the future. If Platoon Commander Li can be of use in the future, please feel free to ask. I will remember this huge favor from my brother."

Although he didn't like the Juntong group, he couldn't offend him. Li Yuan, who had suffered losses from the Fuxing Society, did not look down upon him: "Stationmaster Chen, Captain Wang, if there is nothing else, we brothers will withdraw first. We

There are still wounded who need to be taken care of."

A future contact method was agreed upon.

Wang Jin sent Li Yuan away: "Please take some time to come to Kunshan. I want to talk to you about something." It was very formal.

"What time?"

"At two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, we will be at the contact point in Kunshan. I will wait for you there then."

After Li Yuan and others left, Chen Chuzhi asked Wang Jin who came back: "You said that Li Yuan was responsible for the last action in Kunshan and the action to rescue you from the special high school in Suzhou?"

"Judging from today's situation, he is very capable. Let's see if there is a chance to find a way to recruit them."

Wang Jin: "I had already sent an application to the Wuhan headquarters before you came here. There were some differences between the Military and Political Department in Wuhan and the 49th Army personnel, so nothing has been done yet."

People within the military command know about the conflicts between the Ministry of Military Affairs and the local troops. Who knows what will happen? It is hard to comment on the high-level affairs. Chiang Kai-shek wants to add sand to the local troops, and the people below just carry out the orders.

"Please implement this yourself."

"Okay, there are our people over there at the east end of the village. They are Xie Shengbiao's people. Now the military has appointed Xie Shengbiao as the guerrilla commander-in-chief of Zhejiang and Suxi. I will take you there to meet with them today. I will leave the contact to your action team in the future.

"

After a pause: "There is an order from above, and the letter of appointment is still with me. You can bring it over in two days. This time, I planned to go to Luzhi first to convince the Yan family, and then go to Xie Shengbiao's department. They are currently stationed there.

There are a lot of people and guns in Yixing. Let's go over today to see the people they left here. Let's take a rest first and then find a way to return to Suzhou tomorrow. It's obvious that the people in Luzhi have rebelled this time. We must carry out the clearing operation immediately. This

You watch and deal with it."

"Okay, Stationmaster Chen, make arrangements immediately when we get back. Today's matter must be dangerous. We need to strengthen the management of our personnel and change the contact method later."

"The Japanese Special High-tech Technology Co., Ltd. can make such a big noise in a short period of time. We cannot tolerate it all the time and let Xie Shengbiao take some action and let the traitors and traitors continue to work for the Japanese. We must always be careful about what we do."

It was the intelligence officers who betrayed their whereabouts, and it was Wang Jin's job to clean up the traitors.

Qin Yifei, who was in charge of the southern district of the Kunshan Operation Team of the Military Command, took the people to the largest courtyard in a village in the south.

Luck is also a kind of strength. Although the National Government's rule has not been extended to the villages, it does not hinder the action team's understanding of the local gentry.

The Republic of China government still had a lot of armed forces in the occupied areas.

For Li Yuan, he wanted to be separated from these people, and he was slow to move. Yang Ping took out the map and spread it on the ground, shining it with a flashlight. He looked at the current location.

The destination is not far away.

In fact, we have already walked east, and now we have to go south, turn west, and then north to reach the agreed-upon Zhubei Village. This place is relatively safe at the moment. The Japanese have an inspection post on the road.

The four of them didn't take any risks. They just took off their clothes and swam across the river in the middle of winter. Most people in the Northeast are afraid of water. Everyone in Li Yuanpai's group was pretty good at water. They arrived at the east entrance of Zhu Beicai's village in more than an hour.

Li Yuan looked at his pocket watch, which was not very accurate. It was almost three o'clock in the morning.

Zhubei Village was on a hill in front of them. Li Yuan stopped the team's progress. He didn't want to enter the village in such a showy manner. He planned to have something to eat first and then let Yang Ping go to the contact point alone.

Li Yuan is still very confident about Yang Ping's work.

We have walked such a long way, and it has been almost 20 hours since yesterday morning when we were attacked and pursued by the Japanese. We have almost been advancing through the woods. At this time, there is a breeze blowing in the woods, and it is cold. At night in Yangping

We still had some of the things we bought, so we ate something and drank some water.

Although I received some care from the military commander when I was recuperating in Kunshan, I didn't take it out when I was with the military commander just now. This is not stingy. Yang Ping was alone in front, and three people were two or three hundred meters away.

Following behind, I heard footsteps coming from the road outside, and the dogs in the village started barking.

Zhubei Village is not a big village. It is as quiet as the countryside at night. All the villagers have gone to bed at night. Many people wake up and know that this is the way the world is. No one comes out to meddle in other people's business.

Yang Ping walked to the door of a courtyard at the east end of the village. There was a paper cut on the door. This was agreed upon in advance. Yang Ping looked around and saw that there was no other sound except the barking of dogs. Then he knocked on the door, three long and two short.

After a while, the lights were lit in the two rooms in the house. After a while, the door was opened and the face of a middle-aged man was revealed. When he saw Yang Ping, his face was full of smiles and he opened the door, "You are Platoon Commander Li."

Well, you guys are finally here, how have you been along the way? There are a few other brothers too, why didn’t you come over?”

Seeing Yang Ping carrying a 79 rifle on his back and holding a pistol in his hand, he pulled Yang Ping into the yard enthusiastically because the door was closed because of the knock signal.

Yang Ping was a little surprised. Shouldn't this be where the student soldiers stayed? Why was he alone?

Li Yuan did not follow him. Yang Ping asked calmly: "I didn't answer his question. Where are the others?"

"We got the news that there were Japs searching everywhere. They went south as soon as it got dark. Many suspicious plainclothes personnel were wandering around nearby. For safety reasons, it is not convenient for them to stay here for a long time. Don't worry, there are no injured people.

thing."

"I'm causing trouble by disturbing you so late."

"Why are you so polite? Our batch of students are all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, Lao Lin and the others might have explained it. By the way, why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

"They're fine. They're right behind them. We're fine. We didn't notice the Japs."

"By the way, my surname is Zhao, just call me Lao Zhao."

Yang Ping returned to the door and called cuckoo cuckoo three times to the head of the village.

After hearing the sound, Li Yuan and three others had already walked over from the entrance of the village. The dogs outside were still barking and no one came out.

At this time, everyone entered the yard, and the barking of dogs outside gradually stopped.

After Li Yuan came in, he said to Wan Chuan: "You will be responsible for guard duty for a while, and I will take your place in the morning." Behind enemy lines, this cannot be relaxed.

Wan Chuan put down his backpack and rifle, opened the door and disappeared to the east.

Yang Ping briefly explained the situation to Li Yuan, and Lin Gen took the wounded to Dingshan Lake. Because there were too many people, it was not necessarily safe here.

Soon, Li Yuan lay on the bed where he had prepared his accommodation.

Early in the morning, Li Yuan was already in the woods next to the south road, and Wan Chuan went back to sleep. There were farmers who got up early on the road. In the days of early February, farming became busy, with roosters crowing and dogs barking, and a new day of work began.

They dug up soil, built ridges, cleaned ditches, and turned over the land that had been dormant all winter.

This kind of calmness brought Li Yuan's thoughts.

I have been thinking about it for more than a month, but I still can't grasp something in my mind. What should I do? Is it to be a soldier who obeys orders? The country is ruined, the mountains and rivers have fallen, and I just gather the defeated and wounded soldiers. What is the future?

Where? We should just follow the military command and have our own people fight against our own people. It's too disgusting and there's no way to do it.

Or if your destiny is to return to the 49th Army in Wuhan, and the Japs come and run away, killing a few Japs leaders? It is a drop in the bucket and cannot change the general trend of the country.

My mind is a mess.

When he left yesterday, Wang Jin asked him to discuss in detail what he meant. They were all old classmates and had to give him face.

After returning from a work-study program in Europe, with my love for this country, my young heart has seen too many joys and sorrows. I have also been running around in the chaotic world, and my personal power is so small.

At noon, a group of four people were walking on the way to Kunshan and went back to see the situation in Dutou Village.

There should be nothing going on at Dingshan Lake for the time being.
Chapter completed!
