Yoshino led a large group of devils to rush into Myochipu, and by this time the entire village was already in flames, and almost all the houses were burning. I saw corpses lying everywhere, some devils, some ordinary people, and many of them were sacrificed Einsatzgruppen soldiers. From the open space in front of the village to the center of the village, at least more than 200 devils were killed, and even more were injured. Most of these devils who were killed were killed by a single shot, either in the head or in the chest, which was fatal. And the commanders of the squadrons and squads that led the devils to attack were basically killed.

Most of the rangers guarding the village were hunters, and they died more than 50 soldiers in the battle, including Li Yaohua, who was in the ancestral hall in the center of the village with his wounded brothers, and finally pulled a grenade when he was surrounded by devils, and died with more than a dozen devils. In addition, more than 20 civilians were killed by the devil's shells.

However, the devils did not find Xiao Xiong, Bai Yu and Bai Daddy among the soldiers who died in the battle and the ordinary people who were killed in the bombing, as if they had never been here or had evaporated from the world.

Yoshino ordered his men to look everywhere like crazy, and the devils searched almost every corner of the village, but Xiao Xiong and the others really disappeared without a trace.

Yoshino suddenly realized something, and ordered the devil to continue the search in the village, and he led the devil of the special high school to gallop away on a motorcycle to Shilipu.

Shilipu was surrounded by devils at the same time as Miaozhipu, and the devils of the gendarmerie took Xiao's family out of the village, and then put them in a car and drove towards the devil gendarmerie in the city. Fortunately, the rangers who were hiding there, after receiving Xiao Xiong's order, immediately went to the direction of Miaozhipu to assemble, and did not encounter the devil, otherwise the situation would be unimaginable.

Yoshino came to Shilipu, and after asking about the situation, he immediately rushed to the gendarmerie.

Xiao Xiong woke up from his coma, and he was lying in Bai Yu's arms. He saw himself still in the cave, surrounded by many people. Among them are Gao Qixing, who has a bandage on his head like himself, and Li Minghua, who has an injured arm. Xiao Xiong was looking for something, what he found, and suddenly he asked:

"How long have I been asleep? What about Yew Wah? ”

"Commander, you've passed out for two days. Yaohua had already died heroically along with the brothers who had been seriously injured and insisted on staying in the village. Minghua replied in a choked voice.

"What about the other brothers?" Xiao Xiong struggled to sit up, looked around and asked.

"More than 50 people died in the battle, and they died heroically. All heroes! Minghua bit his lip and said. Everything else has already been transferred. You were so badly injured that we all stayed in the cave with you and didn't leave. ”

"How's the situation out there?" Xiao Xiong looked at Bai Yu and asked.

"Chief of Staff Xiong and the two captains respectively commanded everyone to reinforce Miaozhipu, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and the two men and horses only tried to attack for a while, seeing that they could not break through the devil's defense, they were afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, causing unnecessary losses, so they quickly retreated. However, the devils did not stop, and the brigade of devils pursued them all the way. Although they eliminated many devils, the troops also suffered many casualties. Now, though, they've all gone into hiding. ”

"What's going on with Shilipu? Is my dad okay? ”

"Don't worry, the devil is surrounding Miaozhipu and Shilipu at the same time. According to the scout's report, Daddy Xiao and the rest of your family were arrested by the Devil Gendarmerie at that time. ”

"What?" Xiao Xiong fainted in a hurry, and after waking up, Bai Yu said:

"Brother, now except for Daddy who is also in the Devil's Command, the rest of the people have been released."

"What's the problem? My dad doesn't know what's going on. Xiao Xiong muttered.

In fact, the problem lies with Luo Pingfan.

After Luo Pingfan sent the information to Xiao Xiong for the second time and returned to the dock, the devil immediately caught him. It didn't take long for him to tell Yoshino everything he knew about him under the heavy sentence. Fortunately, he was only a family member sent by Xiao Xiong to the docks to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and he didn't know much about the specific activities of the Einsatzgruppen, so the enemy didn't get much useful information from him.

But he has completely exposed Xiao Xiong and Xiao Daddy of Miao Zhipu to the devil. Therefore, Yoshino immediately took action, and at the same time sent troops to surround Myochipu and Shilipu. Although hundreds of devils were killed and wounded, it also caused great losses to Xiao Xiong's Einsatzgruppen. After this battle, the Einsatzgruppen had not fully recovered, and more than 100 people died alone, and now the entire team plus less than 200 people were injured.

The devil also arrested Daddy Xiao and his family to the gendarmerie. After interrogation, it was confirmed that these people did not participate in the protest activities, and Yoshino released them again. However, Daddy Xiao did not let go. They took Daddy to the Devil's Special High School.

Yoshino returned to the special high school class and immediately called Wu Yingqi, Peng Fugui, Liu Huanteng and other Han anniversaries over. He proudly took them to the cell and said to them:

"Gentlemen, look, who have I invited?"

"Isn't this Daddy Xiao from Shilipu? Why did you get his old man? They said in surprise.

"Mr. Xiao's son, Xiao Xiong, is the commander of the Kuomintang Jiangbei Anti-Enemy Special Forces. I invited Mr. Xiao to ask him to send a message to Commander Xiao, as long as Commander Xiao Xiong and his team return to the imperial army, we will work together to build Jiujiang into an imperial paradise, and the imperial army will definitely ignore the past suspicions. I also want to ask Commander Yamamoto to be in charge of the security regiment and give him the head of the security regiment. What do you think, sir? ”

"Yoshino Taijun, I really didn't know that Inuko Xiao Xiong was a rebel, and now I don't know if he is dead or alive. Where did you tell me to find him? ”

"It's okay, you just stay with me for a few days, I'll send a word out, as long as Commander Xiao knows that you are here with me, he will definitely come to see you." Yoshino smiled sinisterly.

Xiao Xiong's injuries gradually improved, and the team members who inquired about the news came back, and they told him what they had heard: the devil used Xiao's father as bait and waited for Xiao Xiong to throw himself into the net. Xiao Xiong was very anxious after hearing this, what should he do now? He's a little at a loss.

For the sake of safety, the troops were all moved to Jiangxinzhou for rest. After the last two heavy battles, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and with the addition of the wounded, there are now less than 200 people left. The hunter team, which used to be more than 100 people, now has only about 30 people left.

Xiao Xiong's mood was extremely heavy. He gathered Gao Qixing together and said:

"Now the situation we are facing is quite bad, and the devils have taken my father to force us to lay down our arms and surrender. But that's absolutely impossible. Tell me, what should we do next? ”

"At present, the devil regards Daddy Xiao as a trump card to attack us, and tries in vain to force us to comply. However, I think the reason why the devils are taking my father hostage is because they can't destroy us, they can't help us. Therefore, we must continue to fight against arrogance against people. This time, they put the bodies of our fallen comrades-in-arms on the dock in a vain attempt to destroy the people's will to resist. We must also pinpoint the enemy's vital points, strike a severe blow at them, and re-energize the people's fighting spirit to resist the enemy. Xiong Qiang said sadly but firmly.

"I also feel that after this battle, everyone's mood has also been affected and they are a little depressed. We must immediately find the target, strike hard at the enemy, boost the morale of our troops, and absolutely not allow the enemy to suppress our morale. Zhang Shan also said firmly.

"Commander, let me go and kill the little devil Yoshino. This attack was completely planned by him, I want to avenge Yaohua and the dead brothers, and I want to rescue my father," Minghua said excitedly.

"'Hit the snake and hit the seven inches', this time the devils tried to kill us, but their conspiracy did not succeed. We should also poke their rabbit nests and beat them up. Otherwise, the little devils, they really don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has. Wang Xiaofei also said excitedly.

"Okay, if you don't fight, you won't fight, if you want to fight, you will hurt him!" Xiao Xiong clenched his fists and waved, then said:

"I think I'll turn him upside down again. My father is now locked up in the prison of the devil's special high class, and they never thought that we would dare to go there to rob the prison, so we took it by surprise and went to attack the devil's special high class. However, it is definitely not possible to simply fight, the devils are well defended, and the special high school is not far from the devils' gendarmerie, and if we don't get it, we will fall into the encirclement of devils. Therefore, other operations had to be carried out before the attack on the special high school. In my opinion, we will concentrate most of the men and horses to attack the devil's Shilipu Airport, the louder the better, and it is best to blow up all the devil's planes in the airport. Xiao Xiong paused for a moment, and then said:

"Li Ran, you immediately send someone to get in touch with Hu Maosheng's guerrillas, tell him our plan, and ask him to lead all his men and horses to Jiujiang to join us on the 12th Flower Dynasty Festival of February. In addition, we telegraphed to the theater command our specific operational plan, asking our superiors to allocate some weapons and ammunition to us, and to give us a few more mortars, and requesting that the Yangtze River mine-laying brigade cooperate with our operations on the Yangtze River at the same time. After the battle starts, try to fight quickly, concentrate all your firepower on the enemy's planes, and kill as many as you can. Minghua and I took the brothers of the Hunter Team to attack the Devil's Special High School and rescue my father. Xiong Qiang, you are responsible for quietly transferring the villagers of Shilipu out of Jiujiang in the near future. The time of the attack is set on the night of the Flower Dynasty Festival! Now the divisions are ready to move and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy! Have you had the confidence? ”

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

In Jiujiang in March, although the spring is still cold, but the vernal equinox is approaching, the sky has been sunny for more than ten days in a row, and the temperature has risen. Some of the flowers can't help but rush to bloom, and most of them are already budding. In the suburbs, in the fields, and on the slopes of small hills, there are already people who go out to enjoy the flowers.

March 19, the twelfth day of the second lunar month, this day is the flower festival of Jiujiang.

"The hundred flowers are said to be good days, and they have not yet reached half of the spring; Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are draped in splendor, and Shang Lao is embellished with the god of flowers. This is a portrayal of the grand occasion of the folk celebration of the hundred flowers in the old days. On this day, the people of Jiujiang will hang the "flower god lamp" on the branches of the flowers at night, and the lights and the red flowers and green branches reflect each other; Young men and women strolled among the flowers, admiring the flowers and falling in love. When selling the flowers, the flower sellers routinely use red cloth strips or red paper to bind the flower branches, and many flower farmers also hang colored silk and red paper on the flower branches, which is called "appreciating red" or "protecting the flowers". Everywhere is a scene full of spring.

Although the devils have occupied Jiujiang for more than a year, Jiujiang in the occupied area is still full of people buying and selling flowers from the station to the wharf on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, which is very lively. The ladies and ladies wore bright flowers on their heads, and they were all very beautiful. There are a lot of various kinds of flowers in front of every house, bright and eye-catching, purple and red, and they are very beautiful. The vendors selling all kinds of dim sum were the happiest on this day, because the wives and ladies who enjoyed the flowers could not stand the temptation of the traditional delicacies of Xunyang City, which were different in color and delicious, and after a while, the fragrant tea cakes, halva, sesame cakes, baked rice cakes, and baked glutinous rice cakes had already become the delicacies in their mouths.

In the evening, the Flower Dynasty Festival is at its most, and all kinds of lanterns in the streets and alleys of Jiujiang begin to light up. Especially on the edge of the lake and the Yangtze River in Gantang Lake, everyone began to release lanterns into the lake and the Yangtze River, and everyone prayed in their hearts to drive away the little one, pray for peace, and pray for blessing and auspiciousness.

Not far from Shilipu, the devil's airport, the searchlights are turning mechanically.

In the airport, there are more than 10 planes of devils. These planes had supported the devils in the previous Wanjialing Campaign, Nanchang Campaign, and Changsha Campaign, and many of our officers and men died under their strafing and bombing.

Gao Qixing and Hu Maosheng led a total of more than 300 soldiers to quietly come to the vicinity of the airport. This time, Hu Maosheng heard about the attack on the Einsatzgruppen, and as soon as he received Xiao Xiong's request, he brought all his more than 100 guerrillas without saying a word.

Because it was the Flower Dynasty Festival, some of the devils went to the city to watch the lanterns, leaving only a small number of devils to defend the airport. As a result, the defense of the airport has been much slackened than usual, and the intensive patrols outside the airport in the past can only be temporarily canceled today.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was the most important time of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and fireworks began to be set off in the city. Gao Qixing hurriedly ordered the team members to also set off fireworks in the village of Shilipu. Colorful fireworks burst out over the village, making them a sight to behold. The devils in the airport were all attracted and looked up at the fireworks in the sky.

"Hit!" Gao Qixing ordered.

In an instant, in the sky above the airport, the trajectory of guns and cannons was crossed, and the rain of revenge bullets beat the devil who was watching the fireworks to cry and cry for his mother, hugging his head and running away, and immediately fell into a large area. The snipers knocked out the searchlights almost simultaneously. The mortars, who had already aimed at the planes parked on the runway, whistled towards the planes of the devils. Suddenly, the airport was in flames, and one plane after another was blown up into flames and explosions.

A mortar shell hit a gasoline drum stacked next to the runway, and in an instant, the entire fuel depot burst into flames.

At the same time, at the pier, the soldiers of the mine-laying brigade who had dived over at the risk of death also lit the fuse of the explosive bag placed on the devil's steamer, and then dived to a small fishing boat parked in the river. Suddenly, with the sound of an explosion, one of the devil's steamers was blown up and caught fire, and soon sank into the river. When the devils found out and chased them in a motorboat, a loud bang suddenly sounded from the bottom of the motorboat, and a mine exploded. It turned out that the devil's motorboat touched a mine placed at the bottom of the river, and the devil's motorboat was sunk by a powerful explosion. The guns on the rest of the devil's motorboats opened fire on the fishing boats that were rapidly rowing. Soon, several fishing boats that had no time to escape were sunk by the dense rain of bullets from the devils.

At the airport, the devils began to organize personnel to fight back. Relying on the large number of people and strong firepower, they launched a charge outside the airport. The enemy, stationed not far away, also quickly reinforced the airfield. As the fighting continues, there are already quite a few casualties. Gao Qixing and Hu Maosheng led the team members to retreat to the mountains on the outskirts while fighting, and soon disappeared into the night.

The fierce gunfire confused Yamamoto. When he learned that the Shilipu airport and the dock had been attacked at the same time, he angrily ordered the devils from all over the country to rush reinforcements to the two places.

Yoshino's special high school also received an order for reinforcements. He led his devils to the dock in a car. However, on the way, he suddenly stopped, and asked his deputy to lead most of the men and horses to the dock, while he hurried back to the special high school with a team of devils. He was worried that Mr. Xiao in prison would not be kidnapped by Xiao Xiong.

Xiao Xiong led the hunter team to sneak up near the Devil's Special High School, which was located next to the first road by the Longkai River, and less than half a mile away was the Devil's Gendarmerie located on the side of the second road. After the battle between the airport and the dock began, the devils of the special high school were also ordered to drive to reinforcements.

The Devil's Prison is located behind the office building of the Special High School, and the entire courtyard is surrounded by a one-foot high fence with a two-foot-high barbed wire fence.

Xiao Xiong led a team of hunters disguised as the ghost gendarmerie and walked in a neat queue towards the gate of the special high school.

When they came to the gate, the devil sentry asked them what they were doing, and Xiao Xiong replied that they had come to pick up the prisoners on the orders of Captain Yuanshan. Before the sentry could react, Minghua and a few brothers rushed forward and stabbed Xue Liang's hunting knife into the devil sentry's chest.

Everyone immediately rushed into the prison and eliminated all the more than 10 devils left behind. Xiao Xiong quickly opened the cell door, picked up his father and left.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the special high school, I saw the lights of the devil's motorcycle on one end of the road, and several pillars of light shone on the team members who were about to leave.

"Oh no, the devil is coming. Minghua took a few brothers to cover, and the others hurriedly retreated. Xiao Xiong hurriedly gave the order, and as he spoke, he carried his father on his back and ran to the alley next to him.

"Da da da", the devil's machine gun fired, and the bullets hit the wall and sparks. Xiao Xiong suddenly felt that his father seemed to tremble, and several team members were hit and fell down. Minghua and several members of the team who served as cover immediately fell to the ground and opened fire on the headlights on the devil's motorcycle and the devil's machine gunner. They deserved to be sharpshooters, the guns went out, and the devils' machine guns were dumb. Taking advantage of this extremely short time, the last few members of the team who were blocked in the door of the building also rushed into the alley.

Xiao Xiong and the others ran desperately and desperately, and they didn't know how many alleys they crossed, and finally got rid of the devils who were chasing them.

They came to a very secluded place by the river, and hurried to board the wooden boat that had been waiting for them. Xiao Xiong cautiously put his father on the bow of the boat, but Father Xiao fell limply on the boat. Xiao Xiong took a closer look, only to see that Daddy Xiao's back was wounded by a machine gun bullet, and blood was still gushing out. Xiao Xiong hurriedly took out gauze and plugged it. He turned his father over gently, only to see that the old man's eyes were closed and his expression was serene, Xiao Xiong probed with his hand, and it seemed that he had long been out of breath.

"Daddy, Daddy. Wake up, wake up. Xiao Xiong hugged his father and screamed.

The boat had left the shore and rowed across the river. Xiao Xiong sat silently on the bow of the boat holding his father's body, big tears rolling down his eyes and spilling on the old man's very peaceful face. Everyone was silent.

The river whimpered, the river wind cried, and the boat moved forward silently......
