The team has been stationed in Wild Wolf Gully for eight days, and it is calm on the surface, but the mood of anxiety has been spreading among the army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe entry of the Japanese and Manchurian troops into the steppe and the movement of the border guards were a change of guard and did not pose a threat to the 27th Brigade. But Xiao Dongxue and the others were still not at ease, they seemed to have a premonition that a disaster was about to befall the Manchurian National Salvation Army.

While the Manchurian National Salvation Army was anxiously waiting for Yu Chengchan's instructions, it received a telegram from the Japanese and the Manchukuo Military and Political Department, ordering the 27th Brigade to leave the grassland and go to the place where they had been stationed in Zhalantun to continue standby.

After discussing with the generals, Xiao Dongxue decided to carry out the order and immediately drove to Zhalantun. Because they don't want to arouse the suspicion of the devils anymore and put the team in an even more disadvantageous position. In addition, Zhalantun will be closer to the commander-in-chief, which is convenient for contact, and maybe the team will receive orders from the commander-in-chief before they reach Zhalantun. It is estimated that there will be no letter from Fang Tianzhu's side in the near future, since the Soviet side has decided to let the Manchurian National Salvation Army transit to the inaccessible places in the inner and outer Xing'an Mountains, it will not easily change its mind, and there is no point in the team waiting any longer.

Leaving the wild wolf ditch, the team still moved forward vigilantly and unhurriedly, and at the same time sent people to reconnoiter and listen to the area of Zhalantun to understand the deployment of the devils and the Manchurian army there.

On the way to Zhalantun, the team received a telegram from the Ministry of Military Affairs of Manchukuo. The telegram issued a commendation to the 27th Brigade for its meritorious service in suppressing bandits in the grasslands, and for quelling the rebellion of the steppe bandits for the Manchurian Empire. The telegram also specifically mentioned Xiao Dongxue, commended her outstanding achievements in suppressing bandits, and decided to promote Xiao Dongxue to the rank of colonel of the 27th Brigade and senator, and Wang Zhankui temporarily acted as the vacant post. After the 27th Brigade arrived at Zhalantun, the Ministry of Military Affairs sent dignitaries to present the awards.

"I'm a major general, but we don't even have the rank of colonel in our team, and now you have been promoted to colonel, but this is a bright promotion and a secret descent, obviously trying to take away your military power step by step. I'll reason with them when I'm in the place, but now I can only endure it for now. ”

Wang Zhankui and Xiao Dongxue rode side by side, he felt that such an appointment was unfair to Xiao Dongxue, and he was afraid that Xiao Dongxue would be angry, so he took the initiative to persuade her. But Xiao Dongxue didn't think so, her current mind was mainly to analyze the intention of this telegram, and then make an accurate judgment of the current situation.

"It seems that the Japanese have not alleviated their suspicions of us, and you must be careful to deal with them, and send them a telegram twice a day to report the position of our march and ask for instructions. The purpose of sending us such a telegram was to stabilize us on the way to Zhalantun, for fear of chaos on the way. As for me, it doesn't matter how he appoints it, our team is actually under the leadership of the Manchurian Military and Political Commission and under the command of Jackie Chan, and I represent Jackie Chan, of course, my command will not waver. No matter how they appoint me, I'm still the commander of this team! ”

"That is, you are the commander, Fang Zhenzhong and I are the deputy commanders, this was appointed by the Manchurian Military and Political Commission, and I have definitely listened to Jiang Long's command. It's just that Haizi, why didn't this kid write a letter? Let us put so much effort into it. He is both civil and military, and he is like a god, he should be able to think that we may have the current result, why don't we bring instructions in time, there should be no mistakes, right? ”

Wang Zhankui's words made Xiao Dongxue chuckle in her heart, and she glared at Wang Zhankui angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense! We are far away in the grasslands, and we don't have those contact points and spies in our original territory, how can the commander-in-chief know what we are in front of us so quickly? The commander-in-chief has ordered us not to give up the opportunity to enter the USSR unless absolutely necessary. Now it was the Soviet Union that renounced its promises, refused to take us in, and pushed us into our present predicament. In the plan for this operation, the commander-in-chief has instructed us to find a way to bring the team back to our original territory safely in this situation, and then make plans. We are now acting according to the instructions of the commander-in-chief and trying to find a way to bring the team back safely. The reason why I am anxious to receive instructions from the Commander-in-Chief is that we are now in a position that is conducive to the implementation of other strategic intentions designed by the Commander-in-Chief. Since the commander-in-chief's instructions cannot arrive now, we can only go to Zhalantun first, and we can no longer deepen the devil's suspicion of us. ”

"I said, with Haizi's wisdom, he won't let us run all the way to the dark. Soon, before we get to Zhalantun, the commander-in-chief will definitely be able to contact us and show us the way. I'm going to send a report to the devils and stabilize them first. ”

While Xiao Dongxue and the others were anxiously looking forward to Yu Chengchan's instructions, Jiang Dazhu, Ye Liaison Officer and other four people were running non-stop on the way to Jiangyuan. For safety, they often take the approach of running day and night to prevent accidents.

"It's another night, and the horses are tired, so let's find a place to rest and let the horses eat some grass."

Jiang Dazhu suggested, and Liaison Officer Ye also agreed. So the four of them found a place where the water and grass were quite plump, and stumbled the horses to graze, and the four of them went into a budding rice field near the meadow and ate dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Coincidentally, this is the place where Yu Chenglong once saved the mother and daughter, but Jiang Dazhu and the four of them didn't know it. The place where they rest is not far from the place where Jackie Chan rests, and they choose places that can not only hide themselves, but also facilitate the observation of the outside situation. Just as the four of them were falling asleep in a daze, a voice came from the graveyard near the edge of the bud rice field.

It was the poor mother and daughter who came to pay respects to their deceased relatives.

"Dead ghost, I've led the girl to see you again! When we are alive, we can't let our mothers live a good life, and when we die, they can't bless us well. The last time you went to the grave, the girl and I almost died, but thanks to the rescue of the well-wishers, our mother and daughter escaped from danger. That's the 'Heavenly Brake God' descending to earth, a god! You give your benefactor a few kind words in front of Lord Yama, and bless your benefactor with peace and security, and a long life! I came to see you this time, and I also poured a few incense on my benefactor's 'Tiansha God', praying that he would be safe and well, and that good people would be rewarded! It was here that the benefactor saved our mother and daughter, and burned incense here to pray for a good result! ”

"After cleaning up the autumn girl, she is going to get married, and her mother-in-law's family is very good. When the happy event is held, let the girl lead the aunt to the grave for you, you see, the aunt is very lovely. The rest of us can live well, and the benefactor who rescued us gave us a lot of money, and we will buy some land next year, and life will be fine. I also bought some dowry for the girl, and I was able to live on my face, thanks to the benefactor who rescued us! I won't tell you more, the girl and I have to pray for our benefactor to go back quickly. ”

The girl's mother cried while mourning, and her voice was miserable. When the mother and daughter had finished burning the paper, they got up and walked to the mound at the edge of the budding rice field, built an altar out of two pieces of adobe, and propped up a small wooden pole behind it, and carefully took out a piece of clothing from the bag and hung it up. Then offer incense and bow down and pray, solemnly and reverently.

All this was clearly seen and heard by Jiang Dazhu and the four of them, especially when the mother and daughter took out their clothes and hung them up, Jiang Dazhu recognized at a glance that they were the clothes worn by the commander-in-chief when he went to the grassland.

"Benefactor, I have set up a tablet for you at home, but I think it is more effective to worship at the place where you rescued our mother and daughter. You are the 'great god of heaven' to save people from all over the world, may your great kindness always bless our whole family, and bless the suffering people in the world. The clothes you left behind will be worshiped forever by our mothers, wishing the 'Tiansha God' peace and security, killing all the demons, and pacifying the world! ”

After the mother and daughter finished worshipping and praying, they hurriedly cleaned up and left in a hurry, fearing that there would be another accident after a long time. Watching the mother and daughter leave, Jiang Dazhu and the four of them fell asleep again. It wasn't until the afternoon that the four of them packed up and left the budding rice field.

"The commander-in-chief must have saved the mother and daughter here, and I know the commander's clothes. It may be that the commander-in-chief saw the unevenness of the road when he came back from the grassland, and drew his sword to help. Jiang Dazhu said to the three of Ye liaison officers on the road.

"The commander-in-chief Buddha is fearful, jealous and hateful, loves the people like a son, and is also close to his brothers, taking the lead, always leaving the danger to himself, and thinking about his brothers everywhere. The brothers also put him like a god in their hearts, and they are willing to go to the soup for him! Liaison Officer Ye also said with emotion.

"The commander-in-chief is wise and brave, clever and omnipotent. I don't know how many villagers in danger have I saved and how many little Japan I have killed over the years? Always able to save the team in the most critical time and show the way to the brothers. The brothers admired him and relied on him, he was the soul of the brothers. The Prime Minister, Commander Xiao and others are also heroes among people, rare geniuses, to be with them and so many good brothers, life is enough! ”

Jiang Dazhu's heartfelt words infected everyone who accompanied him. Liaison Officer Ye couldn't help nodding in agreement, saying that he would definitely guarantee to complete the task of contacting the commander-in-chief this time.

"The team is now in urgent need of instructions from the commander-in-chief, and we must contact the commander-in-chief safely and report back to Commander Xiao. It's not far from Jiangyuan, and we'll try to get to Jiangyuan in two days and get in touch with the General Office of Flowers. The brothers worked harder, neither being able to contact the contact points passing by, nor staying in hotels and going to restaurants to eat, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

A group of four people walked forward cautiously without stopping. Two days later, in the afternoon, the four of them left their horses in a small village leading to the county seat of Jiangyuan, and dispersed into the county seat of Jiangyuan one after another.

The county seat that is about to set seems very calm, and there is nothing unusual to see. The people walking on the streets are still busy with their own business in a hurry, and the shops and vendors are still quietly selling their goods. The four of them walked into the same hotel and checked in separately.

"You two will rest here first, and the two of us will go to the big car shop in the east of the city to connect with the general manager of flowers." Liaison Officer Ye said to Jiang Dazhu.

"Let's go again after eating, we're all hungry."

"It's too conspicuous for four people to eat together, you two eat first, and we can just buy a bite of ready-made food on the street."

"Okay, be careful, cancel the joint if you find something abnormal."

Liaison Officer Ye took a brother to contact the General Office of Flowers, and Jiang Dazhu and a brother stayed at the hotel to eat and wait. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Jiang Dazhu went to talk to the store guy to inquire about the news.

"Your hotel is quite quiet, I haven't been to Jiangyuan for a few years, and when I come back to Jiangyuan, I still live in the big car shop in the east of the city, which is very lively."

The shopkeeper looked Jiang Dazhu up and down for a while, looked back and forth mysteriously, and whispered close to Jiang Dazhu's ear: "You don't know yet, right?" There was an accident at the big car shop in the east of the city, and the shopkeeper Fu Da was arrested! It is said that it has something to do with the Holy Dao Association of Jiang Long. Guo Jianglong was hidden in the small tunzi in the east of the county, was discovered by the Japanese, more than 100 imperial troops went to his nest, and his daughter-in-law was killed, Guo Jianglong was also seriously injured, life and death unknown! Such a powerful and elusive hero has been destroyed by the Japanese, you can't go to the Chengdong car shop to live, don't get into trouble. ”

"I don't want to live, and I don't dare to live now. Thanks for the reminder, I'm okay after eating, go and have a look on the street. ”

Jiang Dazhu's head was about to explode, and he quickly pulled the brother who stayed behind to the street.

"Something is wrong, prepare your weapons, let's go and save the two liaison officers Ye!"

Before they arrived at the big car shop in the east of the city, they heard gunshots, and pedestrians on the street fled for safety. From afar, I watched a brother run back and run this way. The two also drew their guns to support them.

"Something happened, Liaison Officer Ye told you to run quickly and go back to report to Commander Xiao! He's covering behind, run, I'm wounded too, give me a few grenades, I'll cover you, run! ”

Jiang Dazhu handed over the two grenades to his wounded brother, pulled up his brother with him with tears in his eyes, and ran back to the outside of the county seat. The gunfire faded away, and the two ran out of the county town in desperation, burrowing into the crops that had not yet been harvested.

"Officer Ye and his brother who covered our brother may have died! They won't let the devils be captured alive, and brothers who have been engaged in underground liaison for a long time are like this. We can't wait here, move overnight, inquire about some more information, and then quickly go back to report to Commander Xiao. ”

Jiang Dazhu and the others did not dare to stay any longer, and went to report the situation to the team day and night. Just when Xiao Dongxue and the team arrived at Zhalantun, Jiang Dazhu and the others also arrived.

"Something is wrong! The commander-in-chief was surrounded by devils in Xiaodongshantun, Jiangyuan, and the Yun assistant was killed when he broke through, the commander-in-chief was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, and others may have successfully broken through, including the commander-in-chief's family and Commander Xiao's son. I heard that Premier Yang and others were also attacked by devils, and most of them have already died, some of them said that they were also sacrificed, and some said that they escaped smoothly. These messages may not be very exact, but there is no doubt that something happened to the commander-in-chief and Premier Yang. ”

This was a bolt from the blue, which made Xiao Dongxue not relax for a long time. There was a burst of vertigo, and she almost went limp. Could it really be that the sky is falling? She had never thought about it like this, and the sudden bad news made her unbearable, and her spirit almost collapsed. Under the call of everyone, she stood up forcefully. She knew that she couldn't fall down at this time, everyone was looking forward to her, and the Manchurian National Salvation Army still needed her leadership.

"Find Deputy Commander Fang and them, I have something to explain."

Xiao Dongxue endured the vertigo and asked Lan Ling and Ru Fen to help her groom and dress up. She needs to be strong at this time and boost the morale of her brothers.

"The commander-in-chief and Premier Yang may have had an accident! It is not yet possible to determine the extent of the incident, but we have reached this point, and we have not yet received instructions from them that the accident is real and that there can be no illusions. I think that Premier Yang was suddenly attacked, the people around him will definitely try their best to protect, with Premier Yang's skills, he will not fall easily, and now it is likely that he is secretly healing somewhere, it is estimated that the injury is very serious, and the people around him did not tell him about the situation outside, otherwise he would have contacted us. As for the commander-in-chief, he must have been seriously injured when he was desperately trying to protect the safety of his family and brothers around him, which is his consistent character. I estimate that the people around him have been safely transferred to Yu's mother and children, and Monroe died unexpectedly because she was reluctant to leave Jackie Chan, and their relationship between husband and wife is too deep. Looking at it now, the commander-in-chief's injuries must be very serious, otherwise he will definitely find a way to contact us. It is estimated that the commander-in-chief is now rescued by someone and hidden somewhere, and second, he may have been caught by devils and secretly imprisoned somewhere. Whatever the possibility, the commander-in-chief probably doesn't know where we are now. But one thing is certain, neither of them is dead, and they will not die, otherwise the devil and the newspapers of Manchukuo would have published the news a long time ago. ”

"Now that the commander-in-chief and Premier Yang are still alive, we have hope! Don't lose your mind, stand up and work together to climb this hurdle! Since the devils have attacked the commander-in-chief and Premier Yang, it shows that the devils have always distrusted us, and their ultimate goal is to eliminate our team and eliminate tens of thousands of 'Sanshengmen' brothers, and we must have a clear understanding of this. ”

"According to the current situation, I have decided that the team will be stationed here for the time being, vigilant against any conspiracy of the devils, ready to rescue the commander-in-chief and Premier Yang at any time, and then according to the conditions prescribed by the Soviets, cross the border and hide in the mountains of the inner and outer Xing'an Mountains. Commander Wang was also responsible for dealing with the devils, asking the Ministry of Military Affairs of Manchukuo for some weapons and ammunition supplements, or secretly raising some by himself. Be careful not to arouse the suspicion of the devil. Deputy Commander Fang temporarily assumed my post and was in charge of the military affairs of the Manchurian National Salvation Army. I plan to leave the team for the time being and go to find the commander-in-chief and Premier Yang to manage the 'Sanshengmen'. My departure can also dispel some Japanese suspicions about the team, and it can also reorganize the close relationship between the 'Sanshomon' and the team, and coordinate the overall situation. ”

Xiao Dongxue emphasized that she issued an order on behalf of the commander-in-chief, Premier Yang, and the Manchurian Military and Political Commission, and no one is allowed to raise objections, and it must be resolutely implemented!

The Manchurian National Salvation Army and the 'Sanshengmen' are in a critical period of life and death, and the situation is critical and cannot allow Xiao Dongxue to hesitate any longer, and she must fully shoulder the immediate responsibility and turn the overall situation around.
