When night fell, the whole land fell silent, and even the moon hid in the clouds.

The commander of the Jiujiang garrison, Rin Takao Ren, had drunk some sake tonight and had a big fight with a comfort woman who was with the army, and had just fallen asleep, but he had not long been asleep when there was a sharp knock on the door.

"嫌い......"

Rin Takao, who had just fallen asleep, was naturally woken up, and at the same time the comfort woman was woken up. Annoyed Takao Rin told the comfort women to continue sleeping, and the comfort women muttered in a daze, turned around and continued to sleep.

Rin Takao casually put on a coat and got out of bed, and opened the door a little angrily. As soon as the door opened, before he could speak, a Shao Zuo bowed to him and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night, this is an urgent call from the headquarters that I just received!" With that, Shao Zuo handed him a telegram with both hands.

Shaosa's words made Takao Rin was about to blurt out the curse words in his stomach, he took the telegram with some doubts, looked at it with the help of the dim light of the kerosene lamp hanging outside the door, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then asked in surprise: "Nani?" Is this true? ”

Shao Zuo replied with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency, this situation should be true, because I just received a call from the garrison along the way, and yesterday evening there was indeed a caravan of about dozens of people breaking through the checkpoints along the way and coming towards Jiujiang. ”

Rin Takao shook his head and said, "But the headquarters asked our garrisons along the way to immediately launch a close search, isn't this too exaggerated, just for the sake of dozens of businessmen, is it worth making such a fuss about us?" ”

Listening to Rin Takao's complaining tone, Shao Zuo also said helplessly: "I don't know about this, but I heard that these people were specially named by the Mei organ in Shanghai, so the Wuhan Command had to send us this telegram. ”

"Yo Xi, that's right." Rin Takao thought about it, and then he looked at Shaozo and said, "Kotani-kun, it seems that your news is still very well-informed." You can even hear about this kind of thing. ”

Shao Zuo hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo smiled, I also listened to what my classmates in the headquarters told me. ”

"Humph!" Rin Takao sneered and threw the telegram to Shaozo: "Don't pay attention to them, you tell the troops along the way to be more vigilant." With that, he turned around and prepared to go back to sleep.

Shao Zuo was stunned and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, but the telegram from the headquarters asked us to send search troops to search on various main roads. ”

"Yaga!"

Rin Takao turned his head and scolded: "When will our glorious samurai listen to the orders of those thieves who can only shoot black guns, just convey my orders, and strengthen the guard at the checkpoints along the way!" ”

Although the military is a violent organization, officers in any country will have a natural aversion to intelligence agencies, and Rin Takao is no exception. As soon as he heard that this order was given by an intelligence plane far away in Shanghai through the headquarters pass, the pride in him that came from bushido immediately flared up. There was nothing more absurd in his mind to let the valiant Imperial warriors search for a group of merchants all over the mountains, not to mention that these people had long since hid in that cave in the middle of nowhere, and even if he could catch these people, would it be of a dime good to him? It was Rin Takao who casually closed the door, got back into bed, and put his arms around the comfort woman into his dream.

It's just that what Rin Takao doesn't know is who this group of people he considers insignificant, and what kind of disasters they will bring to the Japanese army.

Just when Rin Takao drove Shaozo away and Shaosa went back to sleep. In an arid ditch on the side of the road outside Jiujiang City, a middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary businessman was squatting in the ditch, and from time to time poked his head out to look at the shining turret not far away and said to his companions: "You all remember, no matter what happens later." Our mission is to protect Mr. Fred's family. Once the battle starts, even if there is only one person left, it is necessary to ensure that they can arrive in Nanchang safely, do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

A low chorus of voices rang out.

But then a very awkward and stiff voice sounded: "Sir, if you can...... Can you give me a gun? This...... This way I can better protect myself and my family. ”

The person who spoke was also a middle-aged man in his forties. Through the faint starlight, Ichiki could see his tall figure and his golden hair, and from the outside, the other party turned out to be a Caucasians.

The middle-aged man looked in the direction from which the voice came, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a pistol and a few magazines from his waist and handed them to the other party.

After the other party took the object, he first put the magazine in his pocket. Then he swept the heavy pistol, skillfully pulled the insurance, and said with a smile on his face: "The American's 45 Colt, this is a good gun!" ”

Seeing the other party's smile, the middle-aged man couldn't help but admonish again: "Mr. Fred, although I gave you a weapon, it doesn't mean that you can participate in the battle later, the biggest role of this gun is to give you the ability to ensure your safety at the most dangerous moment, not to let you participate in the battle." If...... I mean, if something happens and we all die or your family loses contact with us, you can go all the way south, about twenty kilometers away is the defense zone of our army, and you can get help as long as you see our troops. ”

The middle-aged man named Fred nodded: "You can rest assured that Mr. Major, I will ...... Once a military man, I'm not going to mess with you. And I don't think our luck was that bad. ”

"Thank you for your good words!" The middle-aged man nodded, and then said to the people around him: "The first group will go over first and occupy the favorable terrain." If the Japanese find out, you will cover the retreat. ”

"Yes!"

Soon, seven or eight were bent over and quickly touched forward......

More than ten minutes later, a Japanese soldier who had just changed the guard turned the searchlight in front of him a few times in a fit of boredom, and accidentally found that there seemed to be a group of figures flashing on the road hundreds of meters ahead.

"Who...... Hold it...... Otherwise, I'm going to shoot. ”

The shouts of the Japanese soldiers alarmed the figures of the other side, but instead of stopping, the other party accelerated and ran forward. Without thinking, the Japanese soldier immediately removed the Type 38 rifle from his shoulder and fired a shot forward.

"Bang ......"

The crisp sound of gunfire spread very far in the night sky, and soon alarmed the Japanese troops in the entire turret, and for a time the entire turret was immediately lit up, and with a rush of footsteps sounded, several Japanese soldiers rushed to the roof of the building, and opened fire in the direction illuminated by the searchlight......

In the early morning, when the sky was already showing a white belly, a group of vigilant people staggered out of a wood, led by the middle-aged man from last night.

Behind him were more than twenty people dressed in ordinary people's clothes with wary expressions, but all of them had weapons in their hands, either submachine guns or pistols, and although they seemed to be loosely formed, they consciously or unconsciously protected several people in the middle. One of the people who was guarded in the middle was the middle-aged white man from last night, and behind the middle-aged white man were two beautiful Caucasian women with some similar appearances.

After leaving the woods, the middle-aged man led by him took out a Zeiss telescope from his waist and looked ahead, when he saw a position and the sentry figure faintly appearing on it from the telescope, he exhaled a long sigh of heavy burden, and turned his head to everyone: "Brother, we are home, and in half a mile it will be our position!" ”

"Great......"

There was a low cheer from behind.

"Bell bell bell ......"

The phone rang urgently, and Su Jin, who had just signed a document and was about to go back for lunch, picked up the phone and said in a deep voice: "Hey...... I'm Su Jin...... What the...... Chi Yu, you said they arrived? Great, where are they now? Good...... Good...... I'll go right over! ”

At the same time, outside the barracks of the 202nd Division, the white man named Fred and the two women behind him were looking at the soldiers standing guard around them in surprise, especially the two white women, one large and one small, who exclaimed in surprise, if it weren't for the yellow skin and Asian faces of these soldiers, they would almost think that they were back in the German barracks.

The gray-green Wehrmacht combat uniforms, M35 steel helmets, familiar armor straps, MG34 machine guns mounted around, and even the rifles that the soldiers had in their hands that they couldn't name were all Germanic. God, what the hell is going on?

Fred hesitated a little and said to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Major, is this Zhou's troops?" Did he serve in the German mechanics of your country? ”

The middle-aged man replied: "Mr. Fred, I can't answer your questions now, if you really dare to be interested, you should wait until Chief of Staff Zhou arrives before asking him personally, my task is to bring you and your family back safely." ”

Fred nodded: "Of course, I can understand. And I am so grateful to you and you and your companions for all that they have done for me and my family! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from the side: "All of them, salute ......"

"Whoa!"

The soldiers who were standing guard all stood up straight, their rifles straightened, and their left hands raised their flat chests in a gun salute.

Seeing the movements of the soldiers, everyone was shocked, and their eyes immediately looked towards the door, and soon the group walked out of the gate...... (To be continued.) )
