Chapter 191: Let's See You or Leave
Taking the opportunity of sending a telegram, Hu Biao and the others, who had been in the secret passage for five days and five nights, finally had the opportunity to come out to breathe. Although everyone wanted to stay longer, for safety reasons, Hu Biao quickly ordered the withdrawal of the secret passage.
The reason is that with the Japanese army stationed in Jinling, Hu Biao was worried that the Japanese army would listen to the radio signals in Jinling. According to the information provided by Chen Gongshu, the Japanese army's special high class seems to have the ability to locate the radio station, and it is easy to be locked after too long.
This time, they came out more to report their safety, and then told those who cared about them that the radio would not be activated again for a short time. Unless they continue to send telegrams on the side of the cemetery after they leave Jinling, it is very likely to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army.
After clearing the traces of walking out of the secret passage, tying the iron fence back to the secret passage, Chen Gongshu also said directly: "Old Hu, when are you going to leave?" Looking at the frame of the little devil, Jinling is still very dangerous in a short time. ”
"Stay one more day, and we'll be ready to leave tomorrow evening. Before leaving, I plan to go back to the presidential palace to have a look! ”
"Lao Hu, I'm afraid there will be a little devil's alert force over there, which is alarming them, and it will be troublesome if they want to leave."
"If you don't go there to take a look, I won't leave Jinling if I die. If nothing else, the little devil should confiscate the remains of those brothers who died in battle. If I don't collect their bodies, I'll be upset. That's it! ”
Seeing Hu Biao who made a decision loudly, Chen Gongshu, who knew that Hu Biao was very unhappy during this time, could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, he knew that Hu Biao's night combat and penetration ability was very strong, so as long as he was careful, there should be no danger.
According to the information provided by the military commanders, the Japanese army has set up a forbidden area around the presidential palace where the dead soldiers' battalion held it earlier. Apart from a small number of patrols, there were no sentinels in the presidential palace at all.
The reason why the Japanese army did this was more because the ruins of the presidential palace and the surrounding bombings were still filled with pungent remnants of special ammunition in some places. If accidentally inhaled or contaminated, it may also cause physical harm.
It is determined that he will leave Jinling tomorrow night, and Chen Gongshu, as the head of the left-behind department, will not continue to stay in the secret room, but go to the secret cave set up by the military commander earlier to continue to lurk. It was not until the situation in Jinling stabilized that he continued to come out for activities.
Considering that among the people who retreated into the tunnel, in addition to the military commander and Hu Biao's descendants, there were also two doctors and Lin Yashi, a girl. Hu Biao and Chen Gongshu also discussed how to arrange these three people.
As a result, Chen Gongshu said very directly: "Old Hu, you better bring them with you!" Now that the situation in Jinling is so tense, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous for them to follow me. Anyway, if you want to go back to Anhua Mountain, take them with you! ”
Although he felt that taking three people who were not capable of fighting on the road would increase the burden of the march to some extent, Hu Biao still said: "Listen to their opinions!" If they want to stay, you can find a way to settle them, and if you want to go, I will take them away. ”
After bringing the two doctors and Lin Yashi to inquire, the two doctors quickly said, "We are willing to leave with Chief Hu!" ”
"Miss Lin, what about you?"
Facing Hu Biao's inquiry, Lin Yashi thought for a while and said, "Sir, will my eldest brother come back?" I originally came from Shanghai to join him this time, but he left again. I really don't know, I should go there in the future. ”
In the past few days of staying in the secret passage, Hu Biao has learned more about Lin Yashi's life experience. The ladies who were originally very favored became homeless in an instant because of the war, which is indeed quite pitiful.
Originally, she had three older brothers, and the eldest brother served in the teaching corps and had even been promoted to major staff officer. The second brother's words, in his early years, he studied in Beiping, and later joined the Anti-Japanese War Progressive Organization, and his current whereabouts seem to be unknown.
There is also a third brother who served in the navy earlier, but later chose to be an ocean-going seafarer because he was not used to the atmosphere in the army. Throughout the year, there are few opportunities to go home, and Lin Yashi also studied at the church girls' school earlier.
The only brother who can take refuge is involuntary because of the relationship between the military and the war. Lin Yashi, who is already homeless, really doesn't know where to go. In fact, it is really not easy for her to survive until now!
Thinking that during her coma, Lin Yashi took care of herself without sleep, Hu Biao finally said: "Miss Lin, if you don't dislike being with us bosses, you can go with me tomorrow night!" Get out of the city first, and then I'll find a way to contact your brother.
In a short time, your brother is afraid and has no time to take care of you. In this kind of chaotic year, it is dangerous for a girl to go on the road alone. In a few days, I should lead the troops to the front, and when you go with me, you should be able to find your brother. ”
"Thank you, sir, then I'll go with you! Excuse me, sir! ”
Lin Yashi, who was talking, also knew very well that it was indeed her luck to meet soldiers like Hu Biao and Chen Gongshu. If she really wants to encounter a rout like other soldiers, a young girl like her will not end up too well.
In the midst of the chaos, who cares about the life and death of a girl?
Even if she has a big brother who is a major staff officer in the teaching corps, for some of the ruffians in the rout, they care more about girls like Lin Yashi, who can make them happy. So it's a fluke that she has survived until now!
After confirming the time and route of the retreat, Hu Biao and the others, who had rested enough in the secret passage, finally drilled out of the iron fence of the secret passage again in the evening of the next day and appeared in the mountain where the cemetery was located.
Looking at the moonlight, which was brighter than last night, Hu Biao immediately said: "Lao Chen, you stay here first, and I'll take someone to the front to explore the way." If there is no danger, we will separate later at the bottom of the mountain. ”
"Good! Be careful, too! ”
Although there are few people visiting the cemetery at night, there is still no guarantee that someone will come here. For safety reasons, it is also very necessary for Hu Biao to lead people to explore the road in advance. In this regard, Hu Biao is more powerful than Chen Gongshu.
Walking at the front of the team, Hu Biao kept making special combat gestures, and commanded his subordinates to march down the mountain. Just as he was about to leave the cemetery, Hu Biao saw the sound of someone chatting not far away.
Immediately made a gesture to stop advancing, and Qin Tianyou and the others who followed quickly squatted down and hidden. Hu Biao, who carefully touched the past, soon saw that the chatting person seemed to be a group of fleeing people hiding in the cemetery.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tianyou immediately said, "Captain, do you want to drive them away?" ”
"No, you don't! They are all homeless, and although this cemetery is eerie, it can provide them with a shelter from the wind and rain. Leave two people on guard, and we will continue to search, there is no need to alarm them. ”
After saying that, he retreated back into the bushes, and Hu Biao arranged for two soldiers to stay behind and watch the every move of these people. As long as they don't come this way, the two warriors ignore the people and let them continue to hide here.
Fortunately, except for some people who hid in the cemetery to escape the war, Hu Biao did not find any trace of the little devil. Then he ordered: "Go, inform Director Chen that they can go down the mountain, pass by the people's gathering place, and leave some food there." ”
"Yes, Captain!"
The soldiers who were ordered to return soon returned to the place where Chen Gongshu and the others were. Knowing that there were people fleeing in the cemetery, Chen Gongshu was also shocked. Fortunately, they came out to ventilate earlier, and they never let the people see it.
I really want the people to see that there are people wearing military uniforms here in the cemetery, but I am afraid that it is very likely to leak the news. When the time comes, invite the little devils to search on a large scale, and it is really possible to discover the existence of the secret passage. But here in the cemetery, the little devil should send someone to patrol.
After staying in the secret passage for too long, Chen Gongshu didn't know what the latest developments were in the city. Only when they are transferred to the secret cave and the spies who are still lurking in the city can they collect the information collected into Chen Gongshu's hands.
Hearing that Hu Biao asked him to leave some food for the people, Chen Gongshu was also very surprised: "These foods are for you to take on the road, leave the food for the people, so what do you eat on the road?" ”
To Chen Gongshu's surprise, the sniper who conveyed the order said with a smile: "Please rest assured, sir, we never worry about finding food during the field march." It seems that among the people who fled there were children! ”
With the words of the team members, Chen Gongshu didn't say much. In the final analysis, the food they brought out from the secret passage was originally prepared for Hu Biao and the others. Now that Hu Biao asked him to leave it to the people, Chen Gongshu naturally couldn't refuse.
The so-called gathering of like things, can form such a deep friendship with Hu Biao, and their attitudes towards some things are similar. Hu Biao took pity on these fleeing people, why didn't Chen Gongshu understand?
At present, it is the middle of winter, and the people who dare not burn a fire in the mountains to keep warm are hiding in the already gloomy cemetery, but they are afraid that they will feel even more cold. If they had food to survive, maybe they would be able to hold out until the situation in the city eased.
Putting down the food that had been prepared for Hu Biao and his party to take on the road, Chen Gongshu and his party were very careful to return to the bottom of the mountain without alarming the people. Looking at the lights in the city in the distance, Chen Gongshu also said goodbye in time.
"Brother Hu, there is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, how precious you and I are. Hopefully, one day, we'll see you again! ”
"I'm sure there's a chance! In the enemy camp, the elder brother can also be said to be lying on his salary and trying to kill every step of the way, and I hope that the elder brother will cherish it more. If you need my help in the future, remember to send me a telegram. If you have a chance, I will come to Jinling to invite you to drink!! ”
"Good! Then it's decided, we'll see you there! Brothers, how precious! ”
With the etiquette of the army, Chen Gongshu saluted and left with all the soldiers who were about to separate, and all the soldiers who left with Hu Biao also returned the salute and watched Chen Gongshu leave with his action team members, and continued to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations to each other.
After Chen Gongshu and his entourage left, Hu Biao did not stay at the foot of the mountain for long, and selected a few team members to stay behind to protect the radio station carried by Zheng Jingwu and Lin Yashi and others, and Hu Biao took the rest of the people and went straight to the presidential palace that had been evacuated earlier.
Although Hu Biao knew in his heart that sneaking into the presidential palace would not be able to collect the remains of any fallen soldiers. But Hu Biao felt that it was necessary for him to say goodbye to those dead heroes, otherwise he would not be at ease on the way to leave Jinling!
