The villagers brought flour and eggs from their homes, the women lit fires to boil water and wash the noodles and vegetables, the children went to help collect dry firewood, and the old people chatted with the soldiers.

"Aunt Qin, why did you bring the old hen at home?" Ren Laifeng saw the landlady coming over with a reed hen, and hurriedly went up to ask.

"You're leaving, and I don't know if you'll be able to come back later. Aunt Qin, I don't have anything to do with it, so I brought this chicken raised at home and stewed it for you to make up for your body. As Aunt Qin spoke, she handed over the hen in her arms to Huang Tian. Huang Tian hugged it with two hands, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Aunt Qin, you, alas. You don't need that. The eggs laid by this Luhua hen can subsidize the family, and if they are killed, the family will have one less source of income! Seeing that Aunt Qin was resolute and had no intention of taking the old hen back, Ren Laifeng had no choice but to ask Huang Tian to hand over the hen to the cooking class.

Reaching out and taking out a few silver dollars from his arms and handing them over, "Aunt Qin, you must accept this." It's not the money to buy a Luhua hen, nor the living expenses for me to live in your house for these few days, it's a small gift from you. I didn't refuse to give me a hen when you gave me it, and you have to take it. As he spoke, he stuffed the silver dollar into Aunt Qin's hand.

Smoke rose from the cooking, the aroma of food spread, and the soldiers and villagers sat around and talked affectionately. The relationship between the military and the people, the situation between fish and water, is strongly displayed at this moment.

After eating, Ren Laifeng refused the villagers' retention, and resolutely led the troops to the west and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River. Needless to say, when we were still ten miles away from the bank of the Yellow River, the scouts came back and reported that there was not even a single ferry boat at the crossing of the Yellow River, and the troops could not cross the Yellow River west overnight.

This is actually to be expected. The New Yellow River has large waves and many whirlpools, and it is still very dangerous to cross the Yellow River during the day, let alone cross it at night. It was simply impossible to cross the Yellow River overnight, and no boatman was willing to cross the river overnight. The Flying Tiger Battalion is going to cross the river, and it looks like it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Ren Laifeng ordered the troops to find a leeward slope and set up camp and wait for dawn. The winds on the banks of the Yellow River are too strong, and it is inconvenient to camp on the banks of the river, so it is wise to find a leeward hillside. Of course, this choice is definitely wise on this night, and whether it will be wise after dawn is another matter.

It's dawn. Ren Laifeng got up early, and after washing up, the troops began to prepare breakfast. After eating, you can cross the Yellow River and return to Zhengzhou.

Breakfast is a big pot dish of noodle soup and steamed buns, Ren Laifeng drank two bowls of soup in one go, and ate a bowl of steamed buns plus a bowl of vegetables. As soon as he put down the bowl and had the first full burp, the investigator came to report: Devils have been found on the bank of the Yellow River!

The devil has come to the bank of the Yellow River? Ren Laifeng was shocked, hurriedly mounted his horse, and took the guard platoon to check the situation. Climb a small dirt slope and look over the banks of the Yellow River with a telescope. It's okay not to look at it, but under this look, Ren Laifeng's heart can't stop sinking. I saw dozens of Japanese soldiers suddenly appear on the bank of the Yellow River in front of me!

If only these dozens of devils don't take him seriously, but the devils are not just this group. A hundred meters away from this group of devils, there are dozens of other devils, on the left and on the right! Obviously, a large number of devils have blocked the banks of the Yellow River!

Forcibly rushed across the Yellow River? That's a joke! It's not a forced capture of a castle on land, you knock the enemy away, and you can defend the castle by capturing it. The ultimate goal of Ren Laifeng is to cross the river! If he kills the devil away, what if the troops cross the river halfway through the river and the devil returns?

Then it's not a devil, it's suicide! Ren Laifeng was not arrogant enough to think that he would be able to conquer the world with the Flying Tiger Battalion, so when he saw that this was the situation, he decisively led his troops to set up the barracks far away from the devils, and sent all the reconnaissance platoons out to reconnoiter the enemy situation around. He wants to find a way to cross the Yellow River!

In fact, this is a mistake in judgment by Ren Laifeng. There are really not many devils who appear on the banks of the Yellow River. Although Yuichiro Muto gave the order to block the banks of the Yellow River, there were really not many troops that could be mobilized within his scope of authority, and even the troops that Ren Laifeng saw through the telescope were basically all of them!

If Ren Laifeng really gritted his teeth and led the troops to rush forward forcefully, and rushed and beat for a while, he might really be able to make a chance to cross the river. But he didn't. No one is perfect, Ren Laifeng is not a saint, and he also has times when he makes mistakes in judgment. It was this mistake that caused the Flying Tiger Battalion to miss the best opportunity to cross the river! By the time he realized this, it was too late.

Time passed in anxious waiting. After noon, the reconnaissance platoon commander came back in a daze. The news brought over in a daze confirmed the success of Ren Laifeng's assassination yesterday.

Now that Kaifeng City has been opened, thousands of devils are spreading out around Kaifeng City in different directions, and it is said that the military order of Okamura Ningji is to arrest the murderer! What murderer? Of course, it's the murderer who killed Sadazo Yoshikawa! Ren Laifeng killed the nephew of the Japanese emperor yesterday, and the Japanese devil was annoyed!

Ren Laifeng asked about the enemy situation on the bank of the Yellow River, and he was stunned and showed a wry smile. If we had rushed through this morning, we would have crossed the river early. As for now? Don't even think about it, at least one division guards the banks of the Yellow River! Don't say it's us, it's Sun Tongxuan's Twelfth Army, and now it's the same as in the past!

So what to do? Hey, Ren Laifeng remembered, didn't Tang Enbo say it when he took over the mission, and the matter of the return of the Flying Tiger Battalion would be handed over to him. As long as Ren Lai Feng Neng successfully assassinated Yoshikawa Sadasa, he Chief Tang would definitely try to take the Flying Tiger Battalion across the Yellow River! Now it's time to use Chief Tang, why wait if you don't find an organization if you have difficulties?

"The order sent a telegram to Chief Tang: The Flying Tiger Battalion has successfully assassinated Yoshikawa Sadasa, and now it is necessary to cross the river and return to the west. The Japanese invaders blocked the banks of the Yellow River and asked Chief Tang to send powerful troops to respond! ”

The telegram was sent. Ren Laifeng took the Flying Tiger Battalion in anxious waiting.

On the west bank of the Yellow River, the headquarters of Tang Enbo. When the confidential officer handed over the telegram for help from the Flying Tiger Battalion to Tang Enbo, he jumped so high that Lao Tang jumped excitedly! Wow, this Ren Laifeng is really capable! Tang Enbo excitedly walked around the room twice, and then ran to the confidential room and called Commander Jiang Dingwen to report the situation.

It is not a trivial matter to send troops across the river to meet the Flying Tiger Battalion, it is useless to go if there are fewer people, and the alarm is too great if there are more people. Although Tang Enbo was the deputy commander of the theater, he had to get the approval of his superiors to carry out major military operations.
