As soon as Hua Chun said this, he knew that he was wrong, Zhuang Jihua didn't open his mouth, Wu Ziniu first glared at him dissatisfied, Gong Xiuhua shook his head slightly, Zhuang Jihua frowned slightly, these guys from the Seventh Company were used to it casually in front of him, Wang Xiaoshan was the most stable, and occasionally made some jokes, but no matter who he did, he didn't pull it on Liu Yinshu, especially after his authority became higher and higher, Wu Ziniu didn't even joke very much. The whole book

"Is it the protagonist of your scandal?" Zhuang Jihua just frowned and didn't say anything, but Hua Chun stuck out his tongue, looked at Zhuang Jihua with some concern, and replied with confidence when he saw that Zhuang Jihua was not angry: "I have nothing to do with her, it's really nothing, it's all nonsense from others." ”

"It's okay if it's nothing." Zhuang Jihua reminded him lightly: "You have a wife and three children in Chongqing. ”

A cold sweat broke out on Hua Chun's back, if the three of them went back and said a few casual words, his wife was...

"I'm really fine with her," Hua Chun was a little anxious, Wu Ziniu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Yes, I believe it too, but ,...。 ”

Hua Chun helplessly knew that he had to bleed, took the declaration of giving up Xuzhou, made a few promises to Wu Ziniu and Gong Xiuhua, and Hua Chun walked heavily to see the reporters who were still waiting outside.

This retreat was different from the retreat from Nanjing, the retreat of the Japanese army was still far away and could be arranged in an orderly manner, but this time the Japanese army had already approached the city. The sudden retreat plunged the citizens of Xuzhou into a panic, and some citizens hurriedly collected some belongings and followed the army to the west, while more citizens closed their doors tightly, and no matter who called the door, they did not open the door.

The sound of artillery in the east was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who had come down from the front line dragged their heavy steps, supported their wounded brothers, and with grief and indignation, through the empty city, and after two months of hard fighting did not repel the enemy, and now they had to retreat, abandoning the land.

"Brothers, we have abandoned Shanghai and exterminated 80,000 devils; abandoned Nanjing and eliminated 100,000 devils; In the last battle to defend Xuzhou, we eliminated 120,000 devils; Give up Xuzhou today, but we have eliminated at least 150,000 little devils, brothers, raise your head and puff up your chest, we are not defeated, we can eliminate the little devils in the east of Xuzhou, and we can also eliminate the little devils in the west of Xuzhou. Brothers, puff up your chest and stride out of Xuzhou. ”

A schoolgirl stood at the crossroads and spoke loudly to the procession passing through the street, accompanied by five or six men and women, all dressed in military uniforms and wearing red armbands on their arms.

As they puffed out their propaganda, most of the soldiers puffed out their chests, and a sense of sadness gradually condensed in the air. Not far from the propaganda team, there is a long table, and there are more than a dozen dustpans on the table, which are full of white-flour steamed buns.

Xu Yuancang, who had a fluttering white beard, took a steamed bun and stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers passing by: "Brothers, it's good; Well done, brethren, the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition; We're waiting for you to call back. ”

The soldiers, with steamed buns in their hands and tears in their eyes, walked forward step by step, close to the west gate, more tables, more gentry, these people who did not want to leave the country, as a way to express their hopes.

Outside the city, in the countryside, a larger number of villagers, led by the patriarch squire, saw off their troops, and the cars sped westward with all kinds of substances, and occasionally several small cars sped by, on which were either foreigners or high-ranking officers with generals and radios. Zhuang Jihua shot Zhou Lan after the Nanjing War, so that all the officers in Xuzhou City did not dare to leave without authorization, and the officers of the combat unit did not dare to leave the troops and run by themselves. The high-ranking generals who are now leaving are obviously on orders.

The jeep was bumpy on the road, Stilwell and his two assistants sat in the car, looking at the soldiers on both sides, Stilwell fell into deep thought, this kind of Chongqing-made sedan is really suitable for driving on this kind of road in China, which is in poor condition in China, at first he was a little disdainful of this kind of car, but now he likes this car a little

He didn't put away the canopy, but let it open and let the cold wind blow. The Chinese soldiers on both sides just looked curiously at the foreigners in the car, and no one cared about them.

"It's a pity, I played well, but how did I lose like this all of a sudden." Neptune was obviously very sorry that the tide of the battle had suddenly turned so big that it hadn't turned a corner for a while.

"It is said that the Japanese broke through the northern front," Mike was also a little frustrated, in the past few months in Xuzhou, he has gradually changed his understanding, no longer thinking that the Japanese will easily win the war, but the sudden reversal of the war situation has shaken his confidence: "After all, the war is still fought with comprehensive national strength, although China can achieve a temporary victory, but Japan's strength is stronger after all." ”

"yes." Neptune looked at the soldiers on both sides of the road, "Colonel, put the canopy up." ”

Stilwell hummed softly, "Major, look at them. Stilwell's chin lifted slightly, signaling to pay attention to the Chinese soldiers on either side, and Neptune and Mike looked around, but found nothing.

"Look at them, their demeanor is still firm, their fighting spirit is still high, their spirit is not broken, they can still fight. I have said a sentence before, China has the best soldier quality in the world, not lost to any Western power, this country, this nation, the more you know about it, the more you feel its unfathomable, you see, this simple face, they are kind, brave, fearless, not afraid of any sacrifice, as long as they can be organized, can have a good leader, they can defeat any enemy. ”

As he spoke, two soldiers flashed past the car carrying a wounded man, whose body was covered with a quilt, and whose exposed head was covered with bandages, and his face was no longer visible.

"Colonel, which troop is this?" Mike asked suddenly.

"It should have been withdrawn from the Eastern Front, looking at the military uniform, it should be the Central Army system, it should be the Thirteenth Army, Tang Enbo's troops." Stilwell said that the troops on the Eastern Front were different from the Northwest Army and the Central Army, and there were significant differences in the uniforms of the two.

It is true that this is the unit of the 20th Army Corps, but this is not the 13th Army but the 85th Army Wang Zhonglian's department, and the broken rear troops led by Wang Zhonglian have just reached the West City Gate, when a staff officer from the theater headquarters caught up with him and handed him an order.

"The headquarters ordered us to seize Nghe An Mountain and pick up Guan Linzheng and Zhang Zizhong." After reading it, Wang Zhonglian said to the adjutant: "Order, immediately change the route and seize Nghe An Mountain." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant agreed, pulled out his horse and ran quickly.

Soon the team turned slightly downward and headed northwest.

In a quiet small courtyard in Xuzhou City, from the outside, there is nothing special about this small courtyard, but in fact this is the secret stronghold of the military commander, and the Xuzhou station of the military commander has been evacuated, but Han Feng did not leave.

"Boss Dai ordered that the troops can retreat, but our military commanders cannot retreat, the lurking team must insist on lurking, and there must be our contact point and action group in the city." Han Feng said to the two young people in front of him: "Wu Qixiu, you are excellent in all subjects in school, and you are responsible for leading the action group; You are responsible for setting up the point of contact. ”

"Yes, stationmaster." Wu Qixiu and Bao Guoyong quickly stood up, Wu Qixiu also looked at Lin Yueying and Guo Shasha on the side proudly, but they didn't say anything.

"The failure of the Battle of Xuzhou, I suspect that there is an element of intelligence failure, we did not find Japanese spies, but are there any Japanese spies in Xuzhou City? Are they already close to the theater command? I don't know, Lin Yueying,"

Lin Yueying stood up with his shout, and Han Feng looked into her eyes calmly: "I'll hand over this question to you, and you go to the Propaganda Office of the Theater Command to report." ”

"Yes, stationmaster." Lin Yueying agreed expressionlessly.

"Do you know why you were sent to the theater command?" Han Feng's tone was still calm.

"Please make it clear, sir."

"It's very simple, not because of your good grades, but because you know Mei Youlan and Commander Zhuang, which is of great help to you in your work in the theater command, and there are also people from us in the theater command, and he will contact you if necessary."

Lin Yueying thought that he was done and was about to retreat, but Han Feng added: "You are in the theater command, not only pay attention to the Japanese, but also pay attention to the GCD, and see if Commander Zhuang has a connection with the GCD." ”

"Stationmaster." Lin Yueying looked at Han Feng with some surprise, she didn't expect that her mission would also include monitoring Zhuang Jihua.

"The chairman of the committee famously said that the Japanese are our elbow and armpit; GCD is our henchman, don't think that we are uniting with GCD now, and we will eventually destroy them. Han Feng stared coldly at Lin Yueying's eyes, as if this flower and moon appearance did not have the slightest attraction to him: "You have to pay special attention to his secretary Gong Xiuhua, this person once participated in the GCD and later left the party, but I don't know if it's true or not, we found that she met in private with Xuanxia's father and Huang Mincheng of the New Fourth Army Office." ”

Lin Yueying did not hesitate at all: "I understand. ”

"Okay, let's go, Xuzhou will fall the day after tomorrow at the latest, I hope you have good luck."

Lin Yueying, Wu Qixiu, Bao Guoyong, and the three of them stood up and left, and after they went out, Han Feng turned to face the remaining three people.

"Liu Fangxia, Sha Min, Zhao Qixiang, according to the information we have, there must be GCD in the Jiangnan front team, you have to find a way to get close to them, and then go to Yan'an through them. Zhao Qixiang, your identity is a student of Shandong Normal School, Sha Min and Liu Fangxia, your identity is a student in exile in Beiping. ”

Their identities are all real, they were before they joined the military command, so they are not afraid of investigation at all.

"Sir, what about after you go?" Shamin asked, "Who do we contact?" ”

"Don't do anything, stay inactive." Sending an undercover team to Yan'an was Dai Li's plan, and all stations were taking action, and Dai Li also held a training class in Hanzhong, and all the students in it were ready to be sent to Yan'an: "There is no call, you don't have to contact anyone, you must be patient." ”

"Yes."

After they left, Han Feng let out a sigh of relief, he felt that a youth cadre class had been set up in Xuzhou in the past few months, and these six people were the six best students in the first phase of the youth cadre class.

"Stationmaster, when are you leaving?" Shen Wenhui, chief of the intelligence section, asked.

Han Feng didn't look back, he deliberately let the deputy stationmaster Yan Sifu go first, he didn't want him to participate in these things at all, Shen Wenhui was his cronie, so he naturally wanted to stay.

"Wen Hui, you stay to preside over all the work in the occupied area of Xuzhou, be careful, if necessary, you can retreat." Han Feng's tone was a little heavy.

"The country is ruined, why don't I regret this body, it's a big deal to be shrouded in horse leather." Shen Wenhui replied nonchalantly: "The old father in the family is entrusted to the brother." ”

Han Feng nodded heavily, shook his hand tightly, and then walked out of the small courtyard without looking back.
