Taking advantage of the short break at noon, Liu Chang secretly spread the news of Xu Shijiu's defection.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu 19 is the soul of the 19th detachment and the spiritual pillar of all the officers and men of the detachment.

When Li Zihan hurriedly came, the remnants of the soldiers were gathering in groups of three or five, and there were already signs of mutiny.

Li Zihan saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly gathered everyone together and urgently lectured: "Brothers, it's fake, it's all fake, what kind of person is Commander Xu, don't you know?" To put it mildly, even if everyone had defected, he would never have defected to the conspiracy, this is definitely a conspiracy, a conspiracy by little Japan to try to break our fighting spirit."

"But the battalion, the New Fourth Army, Minister Liu said that he has a nose and eyes, and what else does Commander Xu say that he has publicly published a statement in the newspapers of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan, announcing his separation from the national army, is there such a thing?" The remnants of the army, who were already fluctuating, were obviously not so easily convinced, and a veteran stood up to question it at the moment.

Li Zihan hated that in his heart, he couldn't wait to pull Liu Chang over and shoot him.

However, Liu Chang knows better that now is by no means the time to trouble Liu Chang, not to mention that this is easy to intensify the contradictions between the national army and the New Fourth Army in the entire southern Anhui region, just the nineteenth detachment, if he kills Liu Chang at this time, wouldn't it be true for Liu Chang? Didn't he clearly tell all the remnants of the nineteenth detachment that he Li Zihan was empty-hearted?

At that moment, Li Zihan forcibly suppressed his anger and said loudly: "That's all one-sided, we haven't seen the newspaper with our own eyes, if it's true, I'll tell you the truth, last night Lao Gao and Xiao Mu had secretly infiltrated Yanjia Town, ready to rescue Commander Xu, if it goes well, Commander Xu should come back tomorrow morning at the latest."

Seeing that Li Zihan said conclusively, the remnants of the soldiers couldn't help but doubt the letter, no matter what, Li Zihan is now the highest commander of the 19th detachment, compared to Liu Chang, the minister of the New Fourth Army, of course, they are more willing to believe Li Zihan.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized temporarily, Li Zihan took the opportunity to issue a strict order, saying: "From now on, no one is allowed to spread rumors, dare to disobey, and all military law will be involved."

The remnants of the soldiers were temporarily appeased, but Li Zihan's worries did not dissipate.

Hurriedly returning to the resettlement site for the wounded, Zhao Dahai and more than 20 veterans were still in a confrontation with Liu Chang.

Li Zihan stared at Liu Chang and several agents beside him fiercely, and suddenly shouted: "Arrest them all."

Zhao Dahai suddenly roared, and pounced on Liu Chang first, Liu Chang waved his fist and tried to resist, but he was already pressed to the ground by Zhao Dahai, when even two veterans pounced and tied up Liu Chang, in less than a moment, the six agents of the enemy engineering department who came with Liu Chang were also arrested, although they were all agile agents, but the tigers could not stand the wolves.

Liu Chang's head was pressed to the ground, his mouth was choked into the dirt, and he struggled to raise his head at the moment, and shouted hoarsely: "Li Zihan, do you know what you are?" You are deliberately stirring up friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and you have to bear historical responsibility for your actions today, do you know? If today's incident triggers the deterioration of the situation of the entire anti-Japanese war in southern Anhui, you are a member of the nation......"

"Don't use a big hat to press me" Li Zihan snorted and kicked Liu Chang's ass again

"Be honest" Zhao Dahai and the two veterans next to him were even more fierce, and directly smashed the butt of the gun on Liu Chang's back, which made Liu Chang bared his teeth in pain, and then screamed like a pig.

"Don't beat people to death." Seeing that Zhao Dahai and the two veterans smashed fiercely, Li Zihan had to remind him.

Although Li Zihan hated Liu Chang very much in his heart, he also knew that he must not really kill Liu Chang at this time, as Liu Chang just said, if he really wants to provoke friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party because of killing Liu Chang, and eventually lead to the collapse of the anti-Japanese war situation in southern Anhui, then he Li Zihan really can't afford this responsibility, at least, he would not dare to kill people casually before receiving the order of the Governor of the Third War Zone.

At this time, Yu Jiaxi, who was taking care of the wounded, suddenly shouted: "Noguchi, Noguchi, don't cough." ”

Li Zihan turned his head and saw that Noguchi had woken up, and he was coughing violently, and while coughing, a large amount of blood blisters overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the eyes of the whole person quickly dimmed.

"What's wrong with Noguchi?" Li Zihan hurriedly came over and asked Yu Jiaxi.

Zhao Dahai and more than 20 veterans also turned their attention to Noguchi, although Noguchi is Japanese, and he has only joined the 19th detachment for more than half a year, but they all admire this Japanese very much, just as they admire Gao Shenxing and Li Mu, they are all the same, in the army, people with real skills are always very easy to be recognized by others.

Liu Chang felt that the four big hands holding him had loosened, however, he did not act rashly, but pricked up his ears, now, he is more concerned about Noguchi's life and death than running for his life, if Noguchi does not die, then he will escape, I am afraid he can only go to Little Japan to be a dog, if Noguchi can't survive and die, then he will have a chance to continue to lurk.

Yu Jiaxi briefly checked Noguchi's heartbeat, measured his blood pressure, and shook his head gloomily: "His blood pressure has been low above the warning line, and it is still continuing to drop, it is estimated that there is internal hemorrhage, judging from the blood blisters he coughed up, it is very likely that a pneumothorax has been formed, if he is not rescued in time, I am afraid that it will ......."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and rescue it." Li Zihan said urgently.

Yu Jiaxi sighed and said gloomily: "Without surgical equipment, how can I rescue it?" ”

"So, Noguchi is out of control?" Li Zihan looked at Yu Jiaxi blankly, and helped her say these two extremely cruel words, "Noguchi is really not saved?" ”

"It should be." Yu Jiaxi nodded, and said gloomily, "If I can provide complete surgical equipment and medicines, and perform the operation immediately, I still have a forty percent chance of saving him, but now I ......."

Li Zihan sighed, but Liu Chang breathed a sigh in his heart.

However, Liu Chang's heart immediately hung again, because Noguchi on the stretcher suddenly sat up and stretched out his hand to point straight at him.

Li Zihan, Zhao Dahai, Yu Jiaxi, and more than 20 veterans turned their heads in unison, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Liu Chang very unfriendly.

Just when Liu Chang thought he was about to finish, Noguchi fell straight back and fell into a coma again.

Li Zihan really couldn't think that Noguchi Weishenme would make such a move, but he also hated Liu Chang for leaking the news in his heart, and immediately ordered Zhao Dahai and more than 20 veterans: "Beat him for me, but don't beat people to death." ”

Zhao Dahai and more than 20 veterans rushed up and punched and kicked at Liu Chang.

Li Zihan couldn't get angry, so he also rushed up and kicked Liu Chang's thigh twice, and when he withdrew from the crowd again, he saw Yang Dashu hurrying over.

"Tuanza, the little madman has captured a prisoner." Yang Dashu reported, "I'm clamoring to see you." ”

"Captive? See me? Li Zihan pursed his lips and said angrily, "Bring him up." ”

After a while, two veterans brought the Niu interpreter over, and after asking Li Zihan's identity, he asked a veteran to borrow a bayonet, picked open the bottom layer of the military boots, took out a secret letter from the compartment, and handed it to Li Zihan.

After Li Zihan read the secret letter, the expression on his face suddenly became cloudy.

Yang Dashu looked at Li Zihan with a look of wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Li Zihan didn't mean to show the letter to Yang Dashu at all, after reading the secret letter, he directly took out a match and lit the secret letter, until the entire secret letter turned into ashes, Li Zihan clapped his hands and said to the Niu translator: "You go back and tell him, I will go to the appointment on time"
