Seeing the puzzled expression on Yiluri's face, Takahashi Nobuo continued: "There is a saying that 'the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.'" Now that person is a praying mantis, we can be the yellow finch hiding behind them, as long as we can keep an eye on them, they find the US envoy, which means that we have found the US envoy! ”

Yilu thought for a moment and said, "Takahashi-kun, your idea is very good, but you underestimated it. Although they can be very stupid at times, when they feel that danger is coming, they react much faster than we think. So in the future, it is better to strangle them in the cradle. Saying that, Yiluli said to the attendants on the side: "Immediately send a telegram to the troops in the defense area, and find that any person or small unit that can be supported will be completely annihilated!" ”

"Hey!" The attendant answered and walked away quickly.

Chasing them all the way, Iverson and Lewis and Jack caught up with Johnson at dusk. Johnson said: "Major, now that there are Japanese everywhere here, where do we go next?!" ”

"We need guides now," Iverson said. Therefore, it is necessary to meet with the people sent by the Eighth Route Army first. As he spoke, Iverson took out the map, looked at it carefully, and said, "Not far from us, there is a village, and the people sent by the Eighth Route Army should be there. ”

"Alright! Let's go a little longer! Johnson took off his backpack and handed it to the white caron, picked up Steven, who had broken his foot, and continued to walk with the team.

After walking for about half an hour, Iverson and his team were very lucky, and they joined up with the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who had come to meet them. After the two teams converged, they ran into trouble again. None of the guerrillas understood what Iverson was saying, and in desperation, Fan Dalei, the guerrilla instructor, had no choice but to arrange them into the village first.

"Old Fan, these orangutan-like Yankees, you just compared with them for a long time, what are they talking about, do you understand?!" Guerrilla captain Zhou Yougen asked curiously.

Fan Dalei said: "No, it's because I don't understand that I'm worried about this?!" ”

When Zhou Yougen heard Fan Dalei's words, he was suddenly bored. Silly asked, "Then what should we do?!" ”

Fan Dalei said: "What else can I do, cold salad!" The mission is dead. Man is alive. Can a living person be suffocated by urine?! I think we'd better mobilize the crowd around us as soon as possible and ask them to help us find the American envoy together. The sooner we find them, the sooner we can send them away. Leave early, rest assured! ”

"Good! Just do as you say, and I'll arrange it! With that, Zhou Yougen left quickly. Looking at Zhou Yougen's rapidly disappearing figure, Fan Dalei smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the room behind him, and beckoned to the child not far away.

Niu Wa saw Fan Dalei waving to him, and immediately ran over, looked at Fan Dalei intently, and asked, "Uncle Fan, what do you call me?!" ”

Fan Dalei said: "Niu Wa, go and call your grandfather." Tell him that someone broke his leg. ”

"Huh! I'll go! Niu Wa answered and ran quickly towards her home.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the whole village was in total darkness, and the people in their dreams never imagined that the 11 Americans brought into the village by the guerrillas today would bring them a catastrophe.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant, we tracked down here, and the traces of those Americans disappeared!"

Saburo Sato heard the soldier's report and raised his binoculars to look in the direction of the village. After three or four minutes, Saburo Sato put away the binoculars, looked up at the sky, showed a faint smile on his face, and said, "Order the troops to quietly surround the village!" ”

"Hey!" The herald answered, and walked away quickly. It didn't take long for the Japanese troops, who received the order, to quietly surround the village according to Saburo's order. All the intersections that could enter and exit the village were blocked with machine guns.

"Knock, knock, knock" "Captain, instructor!" Wake up! Fan Dalei heard the knock on the door, immediately got up from the bed, opened the door with his clothes on, and asked, "Xiao Liu, what's wrong?!" ”

Liu Ergou replied: "We are surrounded by devils!" ”

"What?!" Fan Dalei was taken aback and asked, "How many little devils are there?!" ”

Liu Ergou replied: "It's too dark to see clearly!" It's all over the place anyway! ”

"What's wrong?!" At this time, Zhou Yougen also ran over. Fan Dalei said: "The little devil surrounded us! ”

"What then?!" Zhou Yougen asked anxiously.

Fan Dalei said: "Anyway, let's find a way to take the common people and those Americans to stand out!" ”

"Good! I'm going to assemble the team right away! With that, Zhou Yougen left quickly. Fan Dalei hesitated slightly, and said to Liu Ergou: "Xiao Liu, you go with me to wake up those Americans!" Saying that, Fan Dalei suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked into the house, found half a devil military hat from under the pillow, stuffed it into his pocket, and then ran to the place where the American soldiers lived with Xiao Liu. ……

Despite the efforts of the guerrillas, in the end the American GIs were blocked in the village by the Japanese. After a fierce engagement, all ten American GIs were captured, except for Lewis, who managed to escape. The people in the village, except for those who had just rushed out, were all poisoned by the Japanese.

Early the next morning, Yan'an, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou, something happened!"

"What's there to do?! The sky can't fall! Mr. Zhu saw the confidential staff officer who ran in in a panic, and his face showed a look of displeasure. Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and asked, "What happened?!" ”

The confidential staff officer said: "Vice Chairman Zhou, the village where the Allied team lives was attacked by devils last night. Except for a few civilians who rushed out of the village with the guerrillas, all the others were killed by the devils. All but one of the Allied teams were captured by the devils. ”

When Mr. Zhu heard the news, he unconsciously gasped and asked, "Is there any news from the US envoy?!" ”

"Nope!" The confidential staff officer shook his head and replied.

Vice Chairman Zhou asked, "Mr. Zhu?!" Now something has happened to the Allied rescue squad. What do we do next?! ”

When Mr. Zhu heard Vice Chairman Zhou's inquiry, his brows furrowed tightly. At this time, Commander Chen, who originally wanted to talk to Vice Chairman Zhou, walked in from outside, and saw that Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou both looked sad, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?!" ”

When Vice Chairman Zhou heard the inquiry, he told Commander Chen in detail what had happened. After listening to Vice Chairman Zhou's narration, Commander Chen suddenly laughed and said, "I'll help you solve such a simple matter!" ”

When Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou heard Commander Chen's words, the two unconsciously glanced at each other, and Mr. Zhu asked, "How can you help us solve it?!" ”

Commander Chen said with a smile: "I guess you all know about our New Fourth Army Independent Regiment, right?!" Seeing that Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou both nodded, Commander Chen continued: "There is a special task force in the Independent Legislature. Their code name is Sky Wolf. This force can be described as elusive. As a result, neither the devils nor the Kuomintang, the Party, and the army dared to approach the base areas of the Independent Regiment. And most importantly, everyone in this unit speaks Japanese and American. ”

"That's great!" Mr. Zhu couldn't help but scream, and made eye contact with Vice Chairman Zhou, who said: "The troops are ready-made, so who will lead the team?!" ”

Commander Chen said: "Then you still need to ask?!" I think I will directly let Hong Yu, the head of the independence group, personally lead the team. ”

"I think it can!" Mr. Zhu immediately nodded.

"Okay!" Vice Chairman Zhou thought about it and nodded in agreement, and said to the confidential staff officer: "Immediately send a telegram to the independent group, and let Hong Yu lead the Sky Wolf Special Operations Team to rescue the American special envoy Hawkes in the mountainous area where Hunan and Hubei are handed over." In addition, the situation of Hawks was also telegraphed to Hong Yu. ”

"Yes!" The confidential staff officer replied and left quickly.

After the confidential staff officer left, Mr. Zhu said: "Lao Chen, you recommend the independent group, I'm afraid it's not just to help us, right?!" ”

Commander Chen looked at Vice Chairman Zhou and said, "Hong Yu's affairs are clearest to Old Zhou. Now someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to mess with me and find trouble with Hong Yu. They gave us all their possessions. We can't let people chill our hearts, can we?! ”

Vice Chairman Zhou immediately understood the meaning of Chen Junchang's words, and said: "I will deal with this matter, you don't have to worry!" Saying that, Vice Chairman Zhou noticed the eyes cast by Mr. Zhu, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Gao Miao Village, independent regiment, regiment headquarters.

"Report!"

"Come in!" Hong Yu put down the pencil in his hand and turned to look at the door of the regiment headquarters. Gao Xiaohua walked in from outside, saluted Hong Yu, took out the telegram from the telegram folder and handed it to Hong Yu, and said, "Regiment commander, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yan'an is in an emergency!" ”

Hong Yu heard the five words of the urgent telegram from the "Eighth Route Army Headquarters", his brows immediately furrowed, he took the telegram and looked at it, and hurriedly said to Gao Hu: "Huzi, go and find the political commissar!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Hu responded and ran out of the regiment headquarters quickly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Zhenghai hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters with Zhang Guohua, Tang Xingye and Gao Ming, and asked, "Hong Yu, what's wrong with being so anxious to find us?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "This is a telegram just sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!" Let's take a look! ”

When Gu Zhenghai heard Hong Yu's words, he took the telegram and read it with Zhang Guohua and them. After three or four minutes, Gu Zhenghai handed the telegram to Zhang Guohua and asked, "When do you plan to leave?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "Saving people is like fighting fire!" I'm going to take someone out right away. ”

Gu Zhenghai asked, "Then how can the military department explain it?!" ”

Hong Yu said with a smile: "Political commissar, don't worry!" I think Yan'an has already sent a telegram to the military department! I guess I haven't left yet, and the order from the military headquarters will arrive! ”
