Yamada soon learned about Wuxi, and he immediately sent a telegram to Kobayashi.

Xiao Lin quickly replied to Yamada: "Zhou Lin is now hiding in Changshu Old Street as a father-in-law. The platoon in Wuxi has already withdrawn and is retreating towards the junction of Wuxi and Changshu, and the platoon in Suzhou is still in Suzhou. Wuxi's business was not done by Zhou Lin. ”

After reading Kobayashi's telegram, Yamada finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was confused again: who did what happened in Wuxi?

In the face of Nanjing's inquiry, Yamada replied: The matter in Wuxi was not done by Zhou Lin. He is now dodging the assassination of Nanking like a rat. With his two platoons of soldiers, can you be sure that he can take out a 150-strong secret service team and a 300-strong Peace Army pistol team?

After Nanjing received Yamada's reply, he was dumb! The Japanese were already dissatisfied with the public assassination of Zhou Lin.

As for the inquiry about the headquarters and base camp of the army stationed in China, Yamada replied: I sent Xiao Lin to lead a team of people to follow Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin is now busy evading Nanjing's pursuit, and he is already fleeing for his life, and his dozens of people have never thought about fighting back at Nanjing.

The Chinese garrison, like the base camp, also recognized Yamada's report.

As a result, the senior adviser of the Japanese army in the presidential palace met with Wang Jingwei and transferred to Wang Jingwei the spies who were dissatisfied with the pursuit of Zhou Lin in Nanjing.

Wang Jingwei broke the teacup after the senior adviser of the Japanese army left.

Besides, after the Taihu detachment withdrew from Wuxi City, it immediately replied to Nanjing: In this battle, 520 enemies were annihilated and all of them were killed. Due to the emergency rescue of the Japanese army, our army had to withdraw from the city of Wuxi after fighting with the Japanese army for an hour. The Americans failed to rescue.

The old man in Nanjing received a telegram from the Taihu detachment asking for merit, happily allocated material rewards, and promoted some more officers.

The two Americans kidnapped by the New Fourth Army were taken directly back to Shajiabang.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? "Two Americans shouted.

Ye Jun walked in with a smile: "We saved you." ”

An American glared and said, "Help me? This is the Chinese idiom, called ...... only then did he get out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's teeth. ”

Ye Jun corrected: "It was only when I got out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again." ”

The American nodded, "Yes, it's a wolf's den." ”

Ye Jun was not angry and said to the Americans: "Are you sure this is a wolf's den?" ”

Another American said, "Sure, I heard the wolf howling." ”

"Li Anguo, you are wrong, this is not a wolf howling, we are calling you."

As the words spoke, three Americans appeared in front of them.

"Li Shimin, why are you here?" Two Americans immediately ran over.

As if they weren't in danger.

"They saved us! They are the ones who saved you. Li Shimin said.

Li Anguo looked at Ye Jun: "Who are they?" ”

"They are the New Fourth Army!" Li Shimin replied.

"The New Fourth Army? Does the New Fourth Army have such good American-style equipment? Have this strong combat power? ”

Ye Jun said with a smile: "We are such equipment, such combat effectiveness, we are indeed the New Fourth Army, the anti-Japanese team." ”

At this time, Li Anguo saw the military uniform on Li Shimin: "He also joined the New Fourth Army?" ”

Ye Jun immediately explained: "Uniform dress is an indication of identity, and the comrades below will not inquire when they see it, otherwise with your blue eyes, the soldiers below will be vigilant." ”

A few people burst out laughing, and the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.

"Why are you all Chinese names and surnames Li?" Ye Jun asked.

Li Shimin said: "Before we carried out our mission, we had already prepared for the worst. So we were all selected among those who could speak Chinese, and we were going to fly directly to Chongqing after bombing Tokyo. ”

Li Anguo took over the conversation: "Our plane ran out of fuel, so we had to parachute in East China, and I still don't know the situation of more than 60 other comrades-in-arms." ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, and Ye Jun immediately said: "Chongqing and Yan'an have sent a large number of people to rush over and come to save people. ”

A couple of Americans nodded: "I hope they're safe." ”

Through Wu Mingtao, Zhou Lin has already mastered the news outside.

Nanjing's attitude, the Japanese's attitude, the Wuxi municipal government's attitude, the police's attitude, and the performance of the Taihu detachment.

This is a big show, you sing and I will go on stage.

However, Zhou Lin ignored these people and still hid in Changshu Old Street.

By this time, Ye Jun had already received thirty-three Americans from various places.

These thirty-three people have been secretly sent to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army by Ye Jun.

On this day, Zhou Lin was leisurely drinking tea and playing chess, when suddenly, Wu Mingtao came over.

Zhou Lin knew that there must be something wrong with Wu Mingtao, so he led Wu Mingtao into the study: "What's the situation?" ”

"Twenty-five Americans were found by the Japanese and the Peace Army in various places."

"Where?" Zhou Lin immediately took out a map.

"They were all gathered at Dingsi Station from all over the country. Ready to be sent to Nanjing. ”

Zhou Lin looked at Dingsi Railway Station and felt a great headache.

It was a large railway station with a Japanese brigade stationed.

There was also a battalion of puppet soldiers, stationed together in the barracks on a mile road outside the station.

Whether it is the strength of the Japanese or the strength of the puppet army, it is not something that Zhou Lin can stretch out his hand, and he will definitely be arrested if he stretches out his hand.

Zhou Lin asked Wu Mingtao to go back first, and he sat in the study and smoked.

After thinking about it for an hour, Zhou Lin really had no way to rescue these Americans.

Please go to the New Fourth Army? No way! As soon as the battle starts, the Japanese will come to the support of a brigade within thirty minutes, and a division of the puppet army will arrive within forty minutes.

This is to send the New Fourth Army into the tiger's mouth, and it will not be able to do so.

Let the Taihu detachment go, that group of Kuomintang soldiers is a few grades worse than the New Fourth Army. The Japanese were able to take them out without reinforcements.

Twenty-five Americans, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it.

Zhou Lin decided to abandon the rescue plan and let them go as prisoners of war.

"Why do you smoke so much?" Xiangjun came into the house.

Watching Xiangjun open the window and expel the smoke out of the window, Zhou Lin said embarrassedly: "Thinking about things, I smoked so much unconsciously." ”

Xiangjun held Zhou Lin's shoulder and said, "Go out!" Kobayashi is here. ”

When Zhou Lin heard this, he raised his head and looked at Xiangjun: "What is he doing here?" ”

Xiangjun patted the cigarette ash on Zhou Lin's shoulder: "How do I know?" He didn't tell me either, you go out, you won't know. ”

Zhou Lin nodded and stood up and walked towards the outside of the study.

When I came to the first floor, I saw Kobayashi drinking tea there.

"Hey! That's the tea I treated. Zhou Lin shouted.

Xiao Lin didn't raise his head, drinking tea: "I'm not just a guest." ”

"What kind of guest are you? You can't get rid of it. Zhou Lin went to the sofa and sat down.

"You think I'm coming? If it weren't for the order of the chief, I wouldn't have come. Kobayashi continued his tea-drinking business.

Zhou Lin immediately felt that something was about to happen, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
