Liu Tianshu and the others returned to their residence, and Xia Shengren was already waiting there.

"How's the meeting going?" Seeing Liu Tianshu enter the house, Xia Shengren asked with concern.

"Lao Xia, we met a devil in Yuelai Restaurant, if we hadn't prepared in advance, maybe we would have fallen into the hands of devils." Liu Tianshu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip and said.

"What? You've met devils?" Xia Shengren was taken aback.

So Liu Tianshu told the situation of meeting with Han Ru in detail, and Xia Shengren heard Liu Tianshu say that the devil suddenly rushed to the Yuelai Hotel, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

"Hermes-Epitek, you said, is it a trap for Han Ru to meet you this time?" Xia Shengyuan looked at Liu Tianshu and hesitated and said.

"This matter should have nothing to do with Han Ru and Liu Jindong, I observed their expressions, and seemed to be surprised by the sudden arrival of the devil, I thought about it carefully, the biggest possibility is that Yuelai Restaurant should be the place where the military commander met before, so it was targeted by the spies. If this matter is related to Han Ru and Liu Jindong, I'm afraid it will not be easy for us to get out. Liu Tianshu pondered for a moment and said.

The devil suddenly rushed to the Yuelai Hotel, and Liu Tianshu initially suspected that Liu Jindong or Han Ru had a problem, but later the reaction of the two did not look like a pretend. Besides, if it was really them who teamed up with the devil to set up a trap, the devil should have ambushed Yuelai Restaurant early, so that when Jian Chen and Sun Bao went to reconnoitre, they should find something unusual.

Therefore, the biggest possibility is that after he arrived at Yuelai Restaurant, the devil got the news and knew that Han Ru was meeting people here.

At this time, he had recalled that when he walked into Yuelai Restaurant, several diners downstairs were very suspicious.

"Fortunately, you made preparations in advance, by the way, what is the main thing about Han Ru's meeting this time?" At this time, when Liu Tianshu meets, there is no need to think about it.

Hearing that Liu Tianshu and Liu Jindong hoped that the two parties would join forces and hijack the train that transported prisoners of war in Jiping County, Xia Shengyuan's brain began to spin rapidly.

After a moment, he looked at Liu Tianshu.

"Hermes-Epitek, what do you think about this?" Liu Tianshu's pseudonym is Wang Hanmin, and Xia Shengyuan didn't know that he was Liu Tianshu of the independent battalion, so Xia Shengyuan always called him Hanmin.

"Lao Xia, I always feel that something is wrong with this." Liu Tianshu said with a deep groan.

"What's wrong?"

"Lao Xia, you see, the devil has cracked the Jinan Station of the military command, according to common sense, the spy Mason who came from Tianjin should know the real purpose of the military commander's special team, and the next thing he has to do is to list the plan to transport prisoners of war as top secret. There are absolutely not many people who know the specific transportation plan, and the inside line of the military command will get the exact time when the devil will transport these patriotic soldiers. Isn't it too easy, you say? Liu Tianshu kept thinking on the way back, and finally figured out where something was wrong.

This kind of top-secret information was easily obtained by the military commanders, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

If things are too abnormal, they are demons.

Liu Tianshu doesn't believe in the ability of the military commander's inner line, but it is worth thinking about quickly obtaining such top-secret information when the devil has just cracked Jinan Station.

"Then your opinion is ......" Xia Shengyuan thought for a while and looked at Liu Tianshu.

"Lao Xia, whether this is a trap or not, we have to go. However, we have only a few small guerrilla units in Jiping County, and it is simply impossible to accomplish such a large task. Jiping County is also the activity area of Ma Xuekui's department, and Liu Jindong's meaning is that it is completed by Ma Xuekui's department. Of course, he hoped that our Eighth Route Army would also send troops to participate in the rescue operation. In this way, I immediately contacted my family and sent troops to move in the direction of Jiping. Then we immediately left Jinan, went outside the city to meet Liu Jindong, and rushed to Jiping County together. Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

When he was about to leave Jinan, Liu Tianshu still told Xia Shengren to let his people keep an eye on the temporary barracks of the Japanese army in Dongguan, and at the same time try to figure out the transportation plan of the devil.

Although he decided to leave Jinan and attack the devil's train with Liu Jindong on the night of the third day to rescue the patriotic soldiers, for the sake of prudence, he would never relax his monitoring of the devil's movements until he succeeded in rescuing the patriotic soldiers.

In order to facilitate the communication between Xia Shengren and the independent battalion, Liu Tianshu handed over a set of temporary short passwords to Xia Shengren.

In the evening, Liu Tianshu and Zhang Xinmei, with the help of the underground party, quietly slipped out of the city from the south of Jinan City, rushed to the woods outside Sujia Village in the south of the city, and waited for a while, and saw a group of people coming.

When the figure reached the edge of the forest, it immediately spread out in battle formation, and then a night bird chirping was heard.

"It's Liu Jindong and them." When Liu Tianshu heard this, he turned his head and said a word to Shi Qiang and the others, and then pursed his mouth and learned a bird call.

Jian Chen immediately ran out, and after a while, he walked into the woods with more than 20 young men and women.

Walking beside Chen Jian were Liu Jindong and Han Ru.

"Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to arrive early." Seeing Liu Tianshu, Liu Jindong's face showed joy.

What happened in Yuelai Restaurant during the day, at first he was suspicious of Liu Tianshu, but after going back with Han Ru, he repeatedly scrutinized the whole process, and finally believed that Liu Tianshu had no problem.

"Hehe, Captain Liu, Miss Han, we meet again." Liu Tianshu was also very happy when he saw the two.

Liu Jindong saw that there were only six people who met them in the forest, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Brother Wang, there is still a long way to go from here to Jinan, so let's rush over?" It was said that it was discussed, but in the tone it was actually decided.

"Okay, let's rush over, but, Captain Liu, we are on Jiping's side, and there are not many people, I'm afraid we have to rely on you this time." Liu Tianshu said politely.

"Brother Wang's words are too foreign, they are all to rescue the anti-war soldiers, why bother to divide each other. Besides, your Eighth Route Army also belongs to the army sequence of the National Government. This time, to save people, there are Ma Division's troops, as long as we can stop the train, the rest of the things will naturally be easy to do. Liu Jindong glanced at the few people behind Liu Tianshu and said with a smile.

After the two parties merged in one place, they walked forward a short distance, and saw a person who came to answer Liu Jindong said a few words, and then everyone followed him and walked towards the mountain forest.

The 120 kilometers from Jinan City to Jiping County, Liu Tianshu and Liu Jindong's special forces spent almost two days, and finally arrived in Jiping County at 6 p.m. on the third day to join Ma Xuekui's troops.

Ma Xuekui was a tall soldier, and his station was in Yongle Town, Jiping County.

Yongle Town is a large town in the Changlai Mountains, and Ma Xuekui was originally a regiment leader under Chairman Han. When the devil attacked Shandong, his troops were ordered to stay behind to cover, and as a result, they lost contact with the main force. In desperation, he retreated to Changlai Mountain with the remaining more than 600 people.

After the devils occupied Shandong, because of the limited troops, they only controlled the important market towns and county towns along the railway, but as for the remote mountainous areas, they were powerless.

Under these circumstances, Ma Xuekui's troops were able to be stationed in Changlai Mountain, and after the chairman of the committee ordered Chairman Han to be shot, the units of the Nationalist Government Army that were scattered behind enemy lines were reorganized, and Ma Xuekui was promoted to lieutenant general and division commander.

After the troops had their numbers, Ma Xuekui took advantage of the situation to integrate the various armed forces that had fallen to Jiping County, and then incorporated two armed bandits, and finally got the scale of more than 3,000 people.

After Zhang got the name and took refuge in Ma Xuekui, he was named the head of the regiment by Ma Xuekui.

Although Ma Xuekui is a lieutenant general and division commander, Liu Jindong is the most mysterious military commander from the Nationalist Government after all, so as soon as Liu Jindong and others arrived in Yongle Town, they were immediately warmly received by Ma Xuekui.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Xuekui looked at Liu Jindong, Han Ru and Liu Tianshu and said: "Captain Liu, Miss Han, Mr. Wang, all three of them are distinguished guests, but Yongle Town is a place of mountains and wilderness, and where hospitality is not good, I also hope that a few distinguished guests Haihan." ”

When Liu Jindong heard this, he said with a smile: "Master Ma is too polite, it's all for the party-state, it's all for fighting devils, this time Jin Dong was ordered to Jiping, and the next thing has to rely on Master Ma." ”

"It's easy to say, as long as you can stop the devil's train, my people will definitely be the only one to see Captain Liu." Ma Xuekui said in his mouth.

However, he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Since receiving the order from the war zone to fully cooperate with the military commander's special forces and try to save those patriotic soldiers who were captured, he has not been able to sleep well.

In the past six months, the main reason why he has been able to develop and grow in Changlai Mountain and live a leisurely life is not because he is outstanding, but because after he arrived in Yongle Town, he never went to trouble with devils.

His troops just hid in Yongle Town to eat, drink and Lazar, and did not attack the devil's stronghold, and the devils stationed in Jiping County did not go to Ma Xuekui for trouble, and the two sides were at peace, but they were also happy.

But this time the war zone asked his troops to cooperate with the Einsatzgruppen to save people, that is, to pull out the devil's tiger whiskers, once the devil is angry, then the Einsatzgruppen will pat his ass and leave, leaving him alone to bear the wrath of the little devil.

Thinking about the serious consequences, his teeth ached for a while.

"Master Ma deserves to be a pillar of the party and the state." Liu Jindong praised happily.

"Captain Liu, as far as I know, the Fuyashan Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army has very strong combat effectiveness, and Fuyashan is less than eighty kilometers away from here, or, Mr. Wang, in this operation, we are responsible for saving people, and let the Fuyashan Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army be responsible for blocking the devil reinforcements, what do you think?" After Ma Xuekui knew that Liu Tianshu was the Eighth Route Army, he suddenly came up with an idea.

As soon as Liu Tianshu heard this, he secretly scolded Ma Xuekui in his heart for being a treacherous and slippery, this time to save people, as soon as the devil's army was stopped, his reinforcements must flock in. He wanted the Eighth Route Army to block the devil's reinforcements for him, and he was responsible for saving people, if this person was successfully rescued, the credit would naturally fall on him Ma Xuekui, and once the rescue failed, he could still say that the Eighth Route Army did not block the devil's reinforcements as agreed.
