Just when Xiao Dongxue was about to lead the team to cross the border, Wang Zhankui, who was personally leading the team in front and preparing to cross the border, returned and dissuaded Xiao Dongxue from being reckless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Madam, now the situation is unfavorable to us, Lao Maozi has changed his mind, and the Japanese and Manchurian border guards have also come to intercept us, it seems that it is impossible to cross the border smoothly, and we urgently need to make a decision to evacuate the border with the team, and our team cannot be lost. Commander Fang personally sent a message to persuade us to temporarily withdraw from the border, and he would try to negotiate with the Soviet side and contact us when the results were available. Now we will offend the Soviets by crossing the border, and it will be difficult for us to settle there, and if we don't get it right, we will be driven back, and at the same time offend the Japanese, then we really have no place to stand! Madame, think twice and make a quick decision! ”

Xiao Dongxue, who was extremely angry, was in a difficult mood to calm down, scolding Lao Maozi for treachery, scolding Fang Tianzhu for not doing things effectively, scolding Little Japan for pressing step by step, scolding God for being unfair, and even scolding Wang Zhankui for following him to make peace.

"Old calf, go and inform Fang Zhenzhong, evacuate fifty miles away from the border with me, and you will follow behind. Pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese-Manchurian border guards and maintain communication at all times. Send someone to contact Fang Tianzhu, and come back immediately to report when he gets the news. Immediately sent a telegram to the Japanese, saying that most of the 'Manchurian Volunteers' had been annihilated, and the remnants had crossed the border to the Soviet Union. ”

Although Xiao Dongxue was angry, after all, she came through the wind and waves, and shouldered the heavy trust of Jackie Chan and his 'Sanshengmen', she could not be willful in a critical situation, and as soon as she calmed down, she eagerly made the right decision. It's just that he is extremely unwilling, the commander-in-chief has spent so much effort, and the brothers have spent so much trouble together, and Lao Maozi's words of 'not causing stability on the border between the two countries' will all be buried!

Xiao Dongxue led the way in front, and the three teams followed closely, and after more than an hour, the team withdrew fifty or sixty miles from the border, and Xiao Dongxue ordered the team to choose favorable terrain to camp.

The follow-up teams arrived one after another, scattered and camped, and buried pots to cook. Xiao Dongxue and other commanders didn't have time to eat, so they got together to discuss countermeasures and discuss how to get out of the current predicament.

"What did this old man do? This is the moment of truth! What did Xiang Dabing, who stayed in the Soviet Union, eat? No advance notice is given. It's good now, we saw that we were crossing, and we were forced back, which caught us off guard! ”

Ma Liben threw the whip on the ground in a huff, and his chubby body sat heavily on a small mound of earth. Fang Zhenzhong squatted on the ground, smoking vigorously, and the cigarette butts flickered in the dark night. Xiao Dongxue stood straight, looking at the hazy night sky without saying a word. Wang Zhankui, who arrived later, asked the guards to find a wooden pier to sit on it, yawning tiredly and not speaking. Some of the other commanders who arrived were standing and sitting, but none of them spoke. The guards stood on the perimeter, carefully following orders. Everyone was looking at Xiao Dongxue, waiting for her speech.

"At this point, it's useless to complain. It's just that the commander-in-chief's strategic intention may be difficult to realize, and the unremitting efforts of the brothers will be in vain. We are now at a crossroads, and we need to make a decision as to where we go from here. The commander-in-chief is not around, it is too late to ask for instructions, and little Japan will not give us time. This requires us to focus on the overall situation, proceed from the premise that is most conducive to the preservation of this contingent, and determine our next countermeasures in light of the situation we are currently facing. I see that everyone is very irritable and anxious, and I am even more so. But looking back, it's nothing, 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', not to mention that we can't say that we have failed, let alone go to our hearts. Deputy Commander Fang, tell me what you think. ”

"At this time, the commander-in-chief is not around, what a hurry! But what's the use of urgency, the commander-in-chief has entrusted this team to us, and we have to take responsibility. Commander Xiao, don't be too anxious, the brothers are all relying on you. I think, we still have to act according to the strategy determined by the commander-in-chief, didn't Commander Fang say that he still has to negotiate with Lao Maozi? If there is a glimmer of hope, we have to work hard, and we can't let the commander-in-chief's strategic intent be ruined like this! Of course, it will not be as easy as it is today to cross the border again, and little Japan will not be able to give us another chance. However, as long as Lao Maozi can still agree to our crossing, even if it takes a lot of trouble, we must work hard, even if we have to sacrifice! ”

"I can see that all the brothers are not bad breeds, and they are not afraid of death! But the key is whether Lao Maozi can let us cross the border and take us in? Now the situation in the Soviet Union is not much better than ours, let the Germans beat him badly, if little Japan stabs him from behind again, he will not be able to stand it, and no one wants to suffer the enemy in the back. In this situation, it is unlikely that Lao Maozi will continue to take us in, and we still have to plan for the worst to avoid this catastrophe in front of us. Through our actions today, little Japan will not fail to suspect our true intentions, and if they concentrate their border guards to encircle and suppress us, our situation will be even worse. ”

"You old calf, don't talk until you follow in. Little Japan has always doubted us, if it wasn't for an accident today, wouldn't it be a crossing? After fighting with them for so many years, I have long figured out their temper, and little Japan is not going to do anything to us now, and besides, we have not left obvious loopholes for the Japanese. ”

Xiao Dongxue didn't disagree with Wang Zhankui's opinion, she was mainly unhappy psychologically, and more importantly, at this critical moment, she didn't want more people to participate in decision-making and shake her determination.

"Commander Wang's words are still reasonable, and we should also be prepared for the Soviets not to take us in. Commander Xiao is the backbone of our current team, so let's give the order. ”

Fang Zhenzhong saw that everyone was silent and felt that the scene was a little dull, so he stood up again and whispered. One is to save a little face for Wang Zhankui, but the main thing is to let Xiao Dongxue continue to talk and explain her decision-making to everyone.

Just when everyone was silently waiting for Xiao Dongxue to give instructions, they received a report from the radio operator.

"The Japanese ordered us to quickly evacuate the border and continue to go to Wild Wolf Gully to stand by!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Dongxue, and they felt everyone's eager gaze in the dark. Xiao Dongxue hesitated slightly, then decisively issued an order, and ordered Wang Zhankui.

"Commander Wang went to send a report to the Japanese. Tell them that after four days of long-distance travel, the brothers are very tired, the logistics team has been left behind, and they need to regroup and rest. Now we have left the border for more than 100 miles, and when we have regrouped and rested, we will go to the wild wolf ditch as ordered to stand by. ”

Wang Zhankui agreed and took the opportunity to leave. Xiao Dongxue said to the commanders present: "Judging from our current situation, it is no longer easy for the Soviets to continue to take us in, and it is impossible to quickly get instructions from the commander-in-chief. I estimate that Commander Fang Tianzhu must know that we are very anxious, and will negotiate with the Soviets as soon as possible to give us accurate news. Now act according to Deputy Commander Fang's opinion, wait for Commander Fang Tianzhu's news here, and then make plans. After the team finished eating, they dispersed and stationed on the spot, and many observation posts were sent on the periphery to prevent being surrounded. Let the brothers never leave their guns, their horses never leave their saddles, and they are always ready to fight! Everyone is hungry, go back to the team to eat, do a good job of team stability, don't infect the brothers with the anxiety in your heart, don't worry, the sky won't fall! ”

It was the middle of the night, and the brothers had finished eating. According to the anti-encirclement garrison, the team was reorganized, and after the second half of the night, the team gradually quieted down, and some brothers did not get a rest all night.

Of course, Xiao Dongxue didn't sleep, and her irritability has not calmed down, but it must not be obvious, and the brothers are all looking at her. While arranging for the team to be stationed, Xiao Dongxue ordered Li Zhongjiang, Jiang Dazhu, and Ye Liaison Officer not to leave the team for the time being, and to send them to carry out new tasks after the situation became clear.

Just when the guards were advised and ready to wait for Xiao Dongxue to rest, they received a telegram from the Japanese, asking the 27th Brigade to immediately go to Wild Wolf Ditch to assemble and stand by.

Xiao Dongxue asked Wang Zhankui to continue to negotiate with the Japanese, under the pretext that the team had not been assembled and the supplies needed to be replenished, so she delayed the Japanese for a few more days and waited for news from Fang Tianzhu.

In this way, while delaying the urging of the Japanese, he anxiously waited for Fang Tianzhu's news.

Three days later, Fang Tianzhu sent someone to report the situation to Xiao Dongxue.

"Commander Fang urgently made several representations with the Soviets, but the results were not satisfactory. Now Commander Fang has been placed under house arrest by the Soviets, and he is not allowed to entangle him anymore. There was no way, Commander Fang was afraid that something would happen to the team, so he urgently sent me back to report. The Soviets agreed to our transit, but on two conditions. First, we should not transit here, so as not to cause border disputes between the two countries, and we are required to go to the sparsely populated places in the inner and outer Xing'an Mountains to cross the border, saying that it is easy to cross the border secretly and will not cause panic at the border. Second, after the crossing, the contingent must be reorganized and go to the front with the Soviet Red Army to fight the Germans, and the contingent may have to be under the command of the Soviets. Commander Fang's opinion was not to rush to cross the border for the time being, if it did not arouse the greater suspicion of the devils, the team would find a way to leave the prairie, and the border area was very dangerous. Hurry up and report the situation to the commander-in-chief and listen to his instructions. Commander Fang estimated that the commander-in-chief had already entered the mountain, and he also sent someone to contact the political commissar Jin Yunji. He specifically explained that this contingent must be carefully preserved, and he will continue to negotiate with the Soviet side to strive for the best results, and to report it at any time. He reassured Commander Xiao that the nearly 200 brothers who had already crossed the border had been properly settled, and he would definitely do his best to protect their safety. ”

"This old man is not a good thing, he should not have trusted these gringos for a long time. Order the team to quickly go to the wolf ditch and make plans there. Deputy Commander Fang opened the way in front and sent a reconnaissance team to reconnoiter the situation in and around the Wild Wolf Ditch, and only after confirming that there was no danger could the large army enter. Commander Wang immediately sent a telegram to the Japanese, telling them that the Japanese team had gone to Wild Wolf Gully to assemble and stand by, and asked for instructions on the next step. Commander Li Zhongjiang took your forty brothers who had not crossed the border to the mountains, changed into civilian clothes, followed the route we had come, and carried out covert while reconnoitring, and kept in touch with us at all times, to be our vanguard reconnaissance guards, and when we returned to our former station by the same route, we went directly into the mountains to meet Jin Yunji. Battalion Commander Jiang and Liaison Officer Ye took the two brothers to Jiangyuan directly, connected with the General Office of Hua, reported the situation to the commander-in-chief, and went back quickly. If the commander-in-chief is not in Jiangyuan, let the General Office of the Flower Department contact him, and you will also return quickly, you must be careful on the way! We are now fighting to return to our original territory in the name of the 27th Brigade. The Japanese have not yet made clear their suspicions about us, so we will do our best to show an obedient and docile posture, and Commander Wang will have to worry more. When the commander-in-chief has new instructions, we will act according to the commander-in-chief's orders. I am responsible for arranging for continued contact with Commander Fang Tianzhu, hoping to get good news from him. Now let's split up and make arrangements, and the team will leave in two hours. ”

Xiao Dongxue issued an order to the commanders who came to listen to the situation, and in the past two days, most of these commanders have concentrated here with Xiao Dongxue, anxiously waiting for news. This will learn the news sent by Fang Tianzhu, although this news is not heartfelt, but the heart is calm, to be honest, most of them do not want to go to the Soviet Union to rest.

The team moved slowly through the vast savannah, cautious and lazy like wolves swimming aimlessly. Xiao Dongxue walked in the middle of the team, and from time to time, heralds came to report the speed of each team's progress and current position, as well as the surrounding situation, Xiao Dongxue gave timely instructions. Riding on a horse, looking at the prairie that has gradually withered and yellowed, her mood is still very heavy, she regrets that Jackie Chan's carefully planned strategic intentions were easily buried, she regrets not persuading Jackie Chan to act with the team, she doesn't know if her current decision is correct? Is it harder to predict what will happen next? What she is most looking forward to now is that Jiang Dazhu and them will get in touch with Yu Chengchan as soon as possible and get his instructions, it is best if Yu Chengchan can come to the team in person, and she and her brothers will have the backbone.

She understands that the current team is difficult to lead, and it can be seen that the brothers are in low spirits, their mood is very low, there is no clear goal for the next step, and the confused and helpless thoughts and emotions are quietly spreading in the team. Yes, although the commander-in-chief's strategic intention to go to the Soviet Union to rest and wait still leaves a tail of hope, it will definitely need to make greater efforts, and I don't know what variables there are. Let's go to the mountains to fight guerrillas, the Japanese devils are so powerful, it is difficult to hold on, not to mention that without the order of the commander-in-chief, it cannot be done. It is also a risk to continue to pretend to take refuge in the Japanese, but to live under the ill-intentioned recruitment of the devils, not to mention that after this incident, it is impossible for the Japanese devils not to suspect it, and it is even more difficult to continue to mix. ran out of Manchuria and went to the interior to cooperate with the government to resist Japan, but how could he break through the layers of defense of the devils? I heard that the commander-in-chief, the prime minister, and the general office of Zhang have already contacted the national government, and I don't know how the progress is now, if the team can get out of the grassland safely, I must suggest that the commander-in-chief take this road.

For the past few days, Xiao Dongxue has been meditating on the road, and she hopes that this team will get out of the current predicament as soon as possible. Just when she hadn't come up with an eyebrow, she received a report from the communication corps sent by Fang Zhenzhong.

"Report to Commander Xiao! Our team has approached the Wild Wolf Gully, and the brothers who came to investigate in advance reported that no suspicious situation was found within two hundred miles of the vicinity, and they were still expanding the scope of the investigation, and Deputy Commander Fang asked for instructions. ”

"Order the team to enter the wolf ditch one after another, and stand by according to the position they were stationed in before."

On the second day after Xiao Dongxue led the team into the wild wolf ditch, he received a report from the brother who was in charge of monitoring the movements of the Japanese and Manchurian border guards, saying that there was an abnormal movement in the Japanese and Manchurian border guards, and it seemed that they were quietly assembling. At the same time, the brother who was in charge of perimeter surveillance also came to report that he had found nearly 3,000 Japanese troops and Manchukuo troops entering the steppe from the interior, and their exact whereabouts were unknown. Xiao Dongxue ordered to continue to be closely monitored, and at the same time urgently summoned Wang Zhankui, Fang Zhenzhong, Ma Liben and others to discuss countermeasures.

"I don't think the movement of the Japanese Manchurian army is aimed at us, there is no indication that the Japanese want to destroy us, not to mention that we are in a more advantageous position than theirs, we can retreat and defend, and the devil will not be so stupid. We just need to step up our precautions. ”

Wang Zhankui was the first to express his position, saying that he felt that through the telegram contact with the Japanese in the past few days, he could not see that the devils had the intention of destroying the 27th Brigade. Fang Zhenzhong also felt that what Wang Zhankui said was reasonable, it was impossible for the devils to come to the grassland to eliminate the 27th Brigade at this time, first, the opportunity was not good, and second, it was easier to force the 27th Brigade out of the border. What's more, with the current weaponry and combat effectiveness of the 27th Brigade, it is impossible for the devils to easily eliminate it. But Ma Liben disagreed with the two of them, and he emphasized that the team must determine the next action target and be ready to prevent the devils from raiding.

"Little Japan is not a good thing, and after this incident, it must be even more suspicious of us, and it is likely that we want to cross the border to destroy us, and we must be prepared for everything. Now the most important thing is to leave the grassland as soon as possible, and find a way to go to our original territory, where the mountains are reckless, and there is more room for maneuver, and when we get there, with the support of Sanshengmen, we are not afraid of anything. What's more, it's closer to the commander-in-chief, which is easy to contact, and with the commander-in-chief by his side, the brothers have the backbone! ”

"Jiang Dazhu, who was sent to contact the commander-in-chief, will not be able to come back for at least twenty days, and I have a lot of dreams at night, and I plan to leave the grassland as soon as possible, but without the instructions of the commander-in-chief, we should not leave the grassland immediately, it is not easy to enter the grassland again, and wait. Now it is still necessary to pay close attention to the movements of the devils, make all preparations for them, and if the devils attack, they will kill them to the border, from the Mongolian border to the Soviet Union! ”

Xiao Dongxue was a little undecided at the moment, she was most anxious to hope that Jackie Chan would send instructions soon, and she even complained that Jackie Chan should not close the channel for contacting the 27th Brigade. Fang Zhenzhong was also a little hesitant at this time, not knowing how to continue to implement the commander-in-chief's strategic intentions.

"If only the commander-in-chief were here, we wouldn't bother so much. It's a pity that the commander-in-chief is not there, and we can only take responsibility and try our best to protect this team. I agreed with Commander Xiao's decision, calmly observed, and waited for the commander-in-chief's order. I think the commander-in-chief must be keeping a close eye on our movements, and may already know about our situation, and will write back soon. ”

"The stars of the river dragon are destined to achieve a great cause, brothers cheer up, we have not yet reached the end of the mountains, this kid will definitely show us the direction in time!"

Wang Zhankui stood up, waved his big hand, and shouted happily, looking like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth. Ma Liben also stood up and echoed Wang Zhankui.

"It's nothing remarkable, the commander-in-chief is a god, tell the brothers, the commander-in-chief let us rest here for a few days for the time being, and prepare to do something bigger!"

Xiao Dongxue didn't speak, and sent everyone away with a smile. These confident anti-Japanese heroes did not expect that a more critical situation awaited them.
