In the dark night, shouts of killing suddenly arose. Because of the previous battle, the Japanese troops scattered nearby were alerted. In the darkness, an unknown number of troops surrounded Lin Xiaotang and others.

Along the way, people continued to fall, and occasionally soldiers from the national army who were fighting on their own would join in. The successive explosions illuminated the road ahead as brightly as day, and everyone passed through the smoke and rushed towards Yijiang Gate like crazy. Brave and brave.

The Japanese soldiers were unable to stop this group of ragged defeated soldiers.

When He Chong was marching to Jiuqu Hutong, he was ambushed by the Japanese army and was stabbed with a bayonet in his thigh. While Lin Xiaotang was killing the Japanese soldier, he was also shot in the shoulder. As a result, the two of them were left behind.

Lin Xiaotang helped He Chong with a simple bandage, and supported the limping He Chong to catch up with the team, but the wounds on their bodies slowed them down. Lin Xiaotang loudly greeted the officer surnamed Pei in front, and the officer surnamed Pei seemed to look back.

But for some unknown reason, he immediately followed the team and flew away without stopping.

Lin Xiaotang cursed secretly, and had no choice but to help He Chong and chase after the blurred backs of the team in front. However, gradually, the two of them were left behind by the team.

Lao Quan and Lei Zhen stared at the movement outside the trench without blinking. Since then, Lao Quan and the socialite Chu Yuyan returned to Yijiangmen and reported what happened to the Xiaoshan Order. The Xiaoshan Order became furious and sent Lei Zhen and Lao

Quan cursed like crazy, and then ordered the two men to take two hundred fully armed elite soldiers to lurk at the outer defense line of Yijiang Gate to wait for an opportunity to respond.

The sound of gunfire in the distance gradually approached, and with the flickering flames of explosions, shadowy figures slowly emerged. Three to four hundred people shot backwards while rolling and crawling towards the national army's position.

Lei Zhen gave an order, and the firepower on both sides was fully opened, forcing back the outflanking Japanese troops, and successfully covering hundreds of escaped Chinese soldiers into the position. A group of people jumped into the trenches, lying on the cold mud ground, with their mouths open.

I was wheezing and couldn't get up no matter how I screamed.

Lao Quan checked everyone in the trench one by one. After searching for a long time, he couldn't see Lin Xiaotang or He Chong. A layer of white sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He shouted to Lei Zhen who was standing on the trench,

"Brigadier Lei, there is no Xiao Lin or He Chong!"

Lei Zhen immediately became anxious, "Check carefully, there are so many people, don't miss anything."

Lao Quan spread his hands and said, "I looked for them one by one. I didn't miss any of them. I kept shouting. If there were any, they should have appeared long ago!"

Lei Zhen was a little scared. He simply jumped into the trench and helped Lao Quan identify them one by one. He also kept asking the soldiers who escaped back for news about the two men. Suddenly, he saw an officer named Pei hiding in the crowd.

"Pei Zhongwei," Lei Zhen squeezed to the officer surnamed Pei in a few steps and grabbed him, "Where are the two boys who went to rescue you?"

Pei Zhongwei shrank away from Lei Zhen's gaze, "I, I don't know, maybe they were dispersed during the breakout, I didn't pay attention!"

Lei Zhen kicked him on the waist, "Fuck, if it weren't for you, the two of them wouldn't have taken the risk. It's a good thing you lost your savior!"

A soldier suddenly stood up. The soldier next to him grabbed him and motioned him not to speak, but the soldier looked angry and said, "Sir, the two brothers who rescued us were injured. They were fighting fiercely at the time. I didn't notice them.

After following up and breaking out of the encirclement, the brothers planned to go back to find the two of them, but Chief Pei...".

Lei Zhen was so angry that his fists fell on Pei Zhongwei like raindrops, beating him until he cried for his father and mother. However, Lao Quan stopped Lei Zhen and said, "Commander Lei, now is not the time to settle accounts. We must find a way to bring those two to justice."

Bring me back, kid!"

Lei Zhen was still angry and kicked him twice in anger. He turned and shouted to the crowd in the trench: "Is there any man with a handle? Come out and come with me to save people!"

He Chong's face turned a little pale. The bayonet blow just now caused him to bleed a lot. Fortunately, the shot on his shoulder was at close range and the bullet passed through his shoulder, so it was not a big deal if he simply dealt with it.

I just can't lift my left arm.

The devastated streets were now deserted. Lin Xiaotang helped He Chong stagger towards the dock. The distance should not be too far. Although the two of them were still wearing Japanese military uniforms, if they were discovered by the Japanese, their secrets would be revealed.

Sooner or later.

Not far away, the barking of wolves and dogs and the vague orders of the Japanese army came. Lin Xiaotang's heart sank. He quickly looked around. There was a relatively intact house on the corner of the street not far away. He picked up He Chong and ran quickly

passed.

This wooden building seemed to have been a restaurant originally, and the stairs were blown apart. Lin Xiaotang and the others had to go around to the backyard and hide behind a pile of rubble.

Lin Xiaotang wiped the sweat from his forehead and checked the weapons in his hands. The machine gun had been thrown away after running out of bullets. He only had a Nanbu pistol in his hand, which was the first one he had taken from Nishinogo.

A magazine.

Lin Xiaotang sighed, handed the gun to He Chong's hand, and held the samurai sword seized from Yingsen tightly. He originally planned to keep it as a souvenir, but now it seems that he has to make the best use of it.

The two of them stuck behind half of the wall, holding their breath and watching the movement outside. The barking of wolves and dogs was still relatively far away. The two of them just hoped that they would not search this place, as long as they could avoid this wave of Japanese and take advantage of it before dawn.

There is still a chance to sneak back to the dock.

Something suddenly hit the back of his head. Lin Xiaotang subconsciously patted his head, then moved closer to He Chong and continued to look outside. But He Chong's slightly trembling voice came, "Behind!"

Lin Xiaotang was stunned, and when he looked back, a strong wind hit him in front of him. He was punched in the face, and then, a cold gun was pressed against his temple.

Lin Xiaotang covered her bleeding nose, stars flashing in front of her eyes, and it was difficult to see clearly the two ghost-like figures squatting in front of her.

The two men were not wearing hats or helmets. They were wearing strange black tight-fitting military uniforms, and the combat boots on their feet showed a bright color even in the darkness.

He Chong gently raised his hands, threw the pistol on the ground, and said slowly: "One of our own?"

The two of them were not very old, so they looked at each other and smiled, "Little devil, your Chinese is pretty good. Did you learn it from your uncle? Who the hell is talking to one of your own!"

He Chong also received a solid punch in the face.

Lin Xiaotang grimaced.

"Cough, cough." He Chong turned his head and spat blood on the ground, "Fuck you, uncle! The military police are amazing! The Chairman's Guards are awesome!"

One person was about to hit him again, but the other person held him down and looked at He Chong and Lin Xiaotang, "Boy, where are your IDs?"

He Chong nodded to his chest. The person who spoke put his cold hands into his clothes and felt for a long time before taking out his ID.

The man looked carefully at the light and smiled, "Oh, you are really one of your own!"

The man patted Lin Xiaotang and He Chong on the shoulders, "I'm sorry, brothers, your outfit is really too eye-catching, and you too." He pointed at He Chong, "You look too much like Little Japan!"

He Chong was about to get angry, but Lin Xiaotang held him back, "Go back and settle the score with these two Haili Hutian scoundrels (Note 1), and first find a way to avoid the Japanese!"

The man smiled and said, "Come on!"

The two of them asked Lin Xiaotang and He Chong to follow them, turned two corners, and stopped at the ruins of the restaurant's back kitchen. Seeing that there was no one around, the two of them moved away a cracked bluestone slab and cleared away the tangled grass and grass on the ground.

The soil revealed an iron plate.

The man who hit Lin Xiaotang earlier pulled open the iron plate and jumped down first. The other man motioned for Lin Xiaotang and He Chong to follow.

The man stayed at the end, took out a bag of things, and sprinkled it around the route he had just walked and the iron plate. A faint pungent smell suddenly filled the air. He pressed the stone slab against the iron plate at an angle, exposing

The gap between himself and himself covered the iron plate with grass and soil, and then he squeezed into the space under the iron plate lightly and quickly, and put his hand down gently, leaving no trace on the ground.

There was a narrow tunnel under the iron plate. After walking not far, I smelled a strong aroma of wine. It turned out that this was the cellar where the wine was stored in the restaurant. After walking about ten meters, a clear view suddenly opened up in front of me.

It is a spacious place with a dozen wooden wine barrels as tall as a person. In the open space between the barrels, a kerosene lamp is lit, and five or six people are sitting next to it.

Among them, there was actually a foreigner with a tall nose and deep eyes and a man in a suit who looked neither Chinese nor foreign.

Several people in the cellar suddenly saw two Japanese soldiers walking in, and their faces suddenly changed color. Two of them directly pointed their guns at Lin Xiaotang and Lin Xiaotang.

The man walking at the end happened to come in and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Don't get me wrong, I am a brother of the teaching corps!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but did not put down the weapons in their hands. They still looked at the two people with wary expressions.

The man took a step forward and handed He Chong's ID card in his hand to an old man about fifty years old sitting in the middle, "Yun Gong, please take a look!"

Lin Xiaotang then looked at the people in the cellar. Two of them were dressed exactly the same as the two people he met earlier, except that they also wore dark German-made steel helmets on their heads, which were matte and not reflective at all.

There are two other people who should be foreigners, both wearing thick suit jackets. One is a middle-aged man with brown hair who has a look of panic on his face, holding a briefcase tightly with both hands; the other is a black-haired man in his thirties.

, seemed to be a mixed race, with a calm expression, looking at Lin Xiaotang and the two with interest.

The old man in the middle, called Yun Gong, wears a blue cotton robe, black-framed glasses, and has two extremely delicate beards.

Lin Xiaotang coughed and said, "Everyone, we are both injured. Before we tell the story, can you let us clean the wounds with wine first? The main thing is that my brother is seriously injured!"

Everyone looked at Yun Gong, who handed the certificate back and nodded lightly.

The man who hit Lin Xiaotang earlier raised his hand, and a first aid kit fell into Lin Xiaotang's arms. Lin Xiaotang looked at him gratefully, "Thank you!"
Chapter completed!
