As the sun set, twilight engulfed the small village that had been burned down by the fire, and Chutian's team cleared out a place for more than fifty people to rest in a fairly intact house.

After doing all this work, patting the hungry belly, the detachment leader came over and asked: "Detachment leader, does the unit need to be hidden?" The warriors haven't had a serious meal in a day! ”

Chu Tian looked at the team leader and said, "Do you still need to ask?" We're wearing tiger skins and making a big fuss about it, so that the soldiers can have a hot meal, and if we're lucky, we might even catch a big fish! ”

The detachment leader happily agreed, and the special combat team members collected some firewood nearby, lit a few bonfires, took out the dry food they carried with them, and ate and drank sweetly with the cold water in the kettle.

Less than three or four miles away from the village, the Japanese army's marching columns continued to move forward, the whispered shouts of the Japanese officers, the hurried footsteps of the Japanese soldiers, mixed with the roar of trucks and tanks, came clearly, all the vehicles of the Japanese army were lit up with dazzling lights, like the eyes of the devil in the night.

It's a strange feeling, being surrounded by countless Japanese soldiers, close to the enemy fighting for life and death, but the special operators don't have the slightest sense of nervousness, but the low and high voices of conversation are all in pure Japanese, and if it is a real Japanese soldier or officer, it is all pure Tokyo accent.

Chu Tian didn't intend to hide his head and show his tail, with the talisman of the field patrol group of the General Staff of the 14th Army, he acted in a high-profile and slightly arrogant manner, in line with the rules of the Japanese army, and watched the soldiers rest, and after sorting out the intelligence fragments in their minds, he shouted: "Operator, immediately set up a radio station to communicate with the division headquarters, and I will personally report to the division commander." ”

The telegraph operator's fingers deftly tapped the electric keys, and the sound of "tick-tock" was extremely clear, and not far from the countless Japanese brigades marching columns, in the battle of Luzon Island, a small village destroyed by the fire, Chutian's first information was sent out.

Yangon, at about 8 o'clock in the evening of June 6, in the office of the division commander of the rear headquarters of the ** division, Tang Qiuli rubbed his flowery eyes, moved his somewhat sore cervical vertebrae, and raised his head from a pile of newspapers, Liu Xinlan poured him a glass of water, walked behind him with concern, and gently massaged his shoulders.

Looking at Tang Qiuli's slightly tired face, Liu Xinlan's heart suddenly felt distressed, and said: "Qiuli, it's more than eight o'clock, you haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll go to the cooking class to get you something to eat, right?" Otherwise, Sister Xue will come over in a while, and she won't complain that I didn't take good care of you? ”

Tang Qiuli smiled, turned his back to his hand, hugged Liu Xinlan's thin waist, sighed lightly, and said: "Xinlan, I have no appetite, you know, what I am most worried about now is Chutian's safety, five teams, four have sent back news, only Chutian and them, it has been nearly four days, and there is no news, I really can't rest assured, Xinlan, I regret it now, approve Chutian's reconnaissance plan!" ”

Liu Xinlan didn't speak, but the movements of her hands became more gentle, she couldn't intervene in this matter, let alone share it for her man, what she could do was to take care of his life.

Tang Qiuli seemed to suddenly remember something, wrapped his arms around Liu Xinlan's thin waist tighter, sniffed her fragrance, and said: "Xinlan, since you sent the army abroad, you have been busy until you forget about your affairs, your study at Guangzhou Military Academy, there is still more than a year to graduate, right?" I've also thought about it in the past few days, and as far as the current situation in the South Pacific is concerned, we can only stay out of it. ”

"For a long time, there will be no major military operations in the army, and you can't waste your studies, my plan is that you will return to Guangzhou tomorrow and continue your studies, Xinlan, my Tang Qiuli woman, can you not do anything please, give up halfway, just yesterday, your dean also sent a telegram to ask, when will you return to the academy, your batch of internship students, it has been more than a year since you went back!"

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli felt a chill on his neck, hurriedly opened his eyes, and pulled Liu Xinlan in front of him, the girl's pair of water-cut eyes were full of tears, and they were falling down her fair face, Liu Xinlan cried.

Tang Qiuli hurriedly asked distressedly, "What's wrong Xinlan?" Tears shed as he spoke? ”

Liu Xinlan's tears couldn't stop flowing, and she sobbed and said: "Qiuli, I am reluctant to leave you, for more than a year, I have become accustomed to being by your side every day, do you want to drive me away?" ”

Tang Qiuli's head was big at that time, and he deliberately joked: "Silly girl, you are still a second lieutenant officer, you cry at every turn, and you are not afraid that the staff officers will see the joke, I think so, you did not complete your studies at the military academy, it is a pity after all, when you graduate, won't you be able to return to me again?" Besides, my future wife Tang Qiu dropped out of school halfway just to be by my side, is I, the division commander, suspected of fake public welfare and personal gain? ”

At this moment, Mei Xue carried a few military lunch boxes, stepped into the office, and when she saw Liu Xinlan's appearance of pear blossoms with rain, she hurriedly put it on the desk through the lunch box, first glared at Tang Qiuli fiercely, pulled Liu Xinlan and asked, "Xinlan, is this guy bullying you?" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly, Liu Xinlan sobbed, repeating Tang Qiuli's words just now, Mei Xue showed an embarrassed expression, from a personal point of view, she and Liu Xinlan took care of her husband, and she was a lot more relieved, but what her husband said was also very reasonable, didn't she just go to Dingbian Military Academy for more than half a year after she got married, and after graduation, she always followed her husband.

Mei Xue understands Liu Xinlan's mood very well, what "if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight," to persuade with these words, the little girl who is fascinated by her husband and can't extricate herself has no taste than boiled water, didn't she feel like this at the beginning?

Mei Xue didn't know what to say, so she could only take Liu Xinlan in her arms and caress her round shoulders to comfort her, and at the same time, her big black and white eyes looked at her husband inquiringly, and the meaning of pleading was obvious.

The sadness in Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head firmly, he can't be selfish, and affect Liu Xinlan's life path, if she can't be ruthless now, this girl will never leave again!

Mei Xue sighed lightly in her heart, intellectually, she supported her husband's decision, emotionally speaking, Mei Xue was reluctant to let Liu Xinlan leave, and got along day and night for more than a year.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurriedly came over, holding a few telegrams in his hand, and saw such a scene in the division commander's office, and guessed that the telegram from the dean of the Guangzhou Military Academy was the first to be seen by himself, and he secretly regretted it. U-turns should be avoided.

Tang Qiuli saw it at a glance, and Zhao Yuhe, who wanted to avoid, shouted: "Yuhe, don't hide, come in if there is anything!" Zhao Yuhe saw that he couldn't hide, and came in hard, Liu Xinlan hurriedly wiped away her tears, and together with Mei Xue, opened several military lunch boxes, and the aroma of steaming meals permeated the office, and when she smelled it, she knew that it was Mei Xue's cooking skills, Mei Xue's news office was a big mess, and when she was in the division canteen for dinner, she saw that her husband and Liu Xinlan didn't come to eat, so she knew that he was working overtime, and Xinlan's girl also had to accompany her.

With the help of the pot stove of the cooking class of the division, he carefully made a few small dishes for Tang Qiuli and Liu Xinlan, and hurriedly sent them over, and happened to encounter this scene, Zhao Yuhe smelled the fragrance of the food, and asked in surprise: "Why teacher, you haven't had dinner yet?" However, Director Mei's craftsmanship is really much better than the cooks in the canteen of the division headquarters! ”

Mei Xue smiled indifferently, but Liu Xinlan's heart moved, and she secretly thought to herself: "In the future, I have to learn to cook, when Sister Xue is too busy, Qiu Li can also eat delicious meals!" ”

Tang Qiuli devoured it and said to Zhao Yuhe: "How Yuhe, I'm greedy, let's eat together, by the way, Yuhe, is there any urgent telegram?" ”

Zhao Yuhe didn't answer whether to eat it or not, but said: "Division commander, this is the latest information sent by the special operations team that infiltrated Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi!" ”

Tang Qiuli stopped his chopsticks and asked with some hope: "Yuhe, is there still no news from Chutian?" Zhao Yuhe shook his head silently, and he saw that the worried look in the teacher's eyes flashed.

Tang Qiuli continued: "Yuhe, tell me the intelligence of several groups, I also want to know that after the surrender of the American army and the Dutch and Indian troops, the Japanese army has taken inner actions, and the battle has been over for two days, if judged according to the normal situation, the main force of the Japanese army should go to the battlefield on Luzon Island!" ”

Zhao Yuhe said: "Division commander, this time, your judgment is very wrong, according to intelligence, the 15th Army, 16th Army, 21st Army, 25th Army and other units of the Japanese army occupying the above-mentioned areas did not rush to withdraw from the above-mentioned battlefields and join the Luzon battlefield, but began to search for scattered American and Dutch and Indian soldiers in the occupied areas. ”

"We should step up the strengthening of local public security, and moreover, we will vigorously arrest laborers, build all kinds of military facilities, and take over all kinds of industrial and mining enterprises, especially oil fields, coal mines, and metal mines, and all industries involving strategic materials, and exercise military control!"

Tang Qiuli put down his chopsticks, and his first feeling was that it was not normal for the Japanese to do this!
