The sound of bombing finally became sparse. Lin Xiaotang, who was running in the night, looked at the white sky and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. But not long after, everyone's hearts immediately started to tighten again, and there was another huge roar in the sky. , Lin Xiaotang and Xiao Shanling looked at each other, with deep worry in their eyes. A new round of bombing by the Japanese army had begun again.

The headquarters of the 18th Army garrison is located at the foot of a mountain only seven or eight miles away from the Huangshan official residence. It is backed by mountains, with high mountains and dense forests. It happens to be an excellent place to hide troops, and it also controls the entry and exit of the Huangshan official residence. The only way to go can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Lin Xiaotang and Wang Sheng's people joined forces with He Chong's troops, and the total number of people reached nearly 400. It was not that easy to sneak around. They didn't go far when they were stopped by the sentry of the 18th Army. .

Once here, Lin Xiaotang and others could not take a step forward. The reason was that the sentry post had received an order from the Eighteenth Army headquarters. No one was allowed to enter the military camp without instructions from the headquarters.

But fortunately, Xiao Shanling, the chief of staff of the Chongqing Garrison Command, was among the people accompanying him. Although it was just a decoration, his reputation was still very useful to ordinary officers and grassroots soldiers. The company commander on duty at the sentry did not dare to If you are negligent, immediately ask the regiment headquarters stationed in the area for instructions.

Not long after, the regiment leader ran over panting with his adjutant and guards.

"What's going on? I want to see Commander Luo, why don't I?" Xiao Shanling asked with a cold face. The frost on his face put great pressure on the regiment leader and others.

Although the weather was still cold, running all the way still made everyone sweat profusely. The regiment leader stood up straight, ignoring the sweat drops on his forehead, "Chief of Staff Xiao Mingjian, it is not a low-level position that prevents the commander from seeing the military seat. , it is true that the command center has issued an order before. Without the order from the command center, I dare not let it go..."

"Then what if I force my way in?" Xiao Shanling replied coldly.

While he was talking, a bright fire suddenly came from the direction of the Huangshan official residence, and then a deafening explosion filled everyone's eardrums.

Xiaoshan Ling was stunned, "Oops, it's too late." The regiment leader and all the guarding soldiers turned back to look at the flames rising from Huangshan's official residence, and were dumbfounded for a moment.

Xiao Shanling kicked the regiment commander to the ground, "Damn it, you see clearly, if we don't rescue him, even your Commander Luo will be left with nothing to eat."

The surrounding soldiers were stunned and hurriedly pointed their guns at Xiao Shanling and others. However, the regiment leader quickly got up from the ground, stretched out his hand and rewarded two big-eared melon seeds, "You bastard, listen to my order and escort Xiao." Commander, go to the headquarters."

Only then did everyone protect Lin Xiaotang, Xiao Shanling and others, and rushed towards the headquarters.

On the way, Xiaoshan Ling asked the regiment leader with a dark face, "Boy, I'm not the commander. Don't scream nonsense in the future."

The regiment leader chuckled and took off his hat, "Commander, you don't know me anymore. I was a soldier of the teaching corps. I followed you out of Nanjing. Not only you, I also know that gentleman." ." He said and pointed at Lin Xiaotang.

The leader gave a thumbs up as he ran, "Commander Xiao and this gentleman, you two are the great benefactors of our brothers who evacuated from Nanjing. If it weren't for you, we would have been the victims of little Japan. Today Even if you didn't kick me tonight, I had already made up my mind to send you to the headquarters. Who knew that you would be even more impatient than me, and you kicked me before I even finished speaking."

Xiao Shanling and Lin Xiaotang couldn't help but laugh. They really didn't expect to meet their old friends at this time. Lin Xiaotang approached the regiment leader and said, "Brother, don't hide your own people. There is such a big movement in the Huangshan Official Residence. What can you do? There was no response, I saw that the military camp was still quiet."

The regiment leader also had a confused look on his face, "Sir, I can't answer this question. I can only promise to send you to the headquarters. As for whether you can see Commander Luo, I can't guarantee that."

Xiao Shanling and Lin Xiaotang froze at the same time, "How to say."

"Since the day before yesterday, we haven't seen Commander Luo. Not to mention Commander Luo, the deputy commander and chief of staff have disappeared. We only have a regiment stationed here to protect the traffic arteries. As you know, we are ten All three divisions of the Eighth Army participated in the Battle of Changde. Our regiment is a guard regiment directly under the military headquarters. Because there are a large number of friendly troops deployed outside Chongqing, our regiment guards the main entrance to Huangshan's official residence. In the past two days, everyone has The orders were all issued by Geng Chunshou, the deputy chief of staff who stayed behind."

"Geng Chunshou." Lin Xiaotang looked back at Xiao Shanling and Wang Sheng. They both shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they were not familiar with this person.

Luo Guangwen's Eighteenth Army is an elite unit of the national army. Luo Guangwen himself is also a general in Chen Cheng's Civil Engineering Department. As one of Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted generals, he placed the most elite guard regiment of the Eighteenth Army in the Huangshan Residence. Nearby, it was also carefully considered. The commander here was not Luo Guangwen originally, but in the previous battle of Changsha, Luo Guangwen was bombed by the Japanese and was slightly injured. Recently, he stayed at the Eighteenth Army headquarters. This was also Chiang Kai-shek's It is a kind of sympathy for the trusted generals. This place is close to the Huangshan official residence. The medical institution of the official residence is nearby, which is convenient for Luo Guangwen to treat his injuries. This alone will make Luo Guangwen feel grateful. Because of this, Luo Guangwen temporarily serves as a guard. Commander of the troops.

"Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Research, why is it such a coincidence? Could it be that Pei Zhongyan is hiding some traps here?" Lin Xiaotang quietly told Wang Sheng and Xiao Shanling his doubts as he walked. The two were shocked. Lin Xiaotang immediately reassured Luo Guangwen and Chen Cheng. There is no doubt about his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek. He is just afraid that Pei Zhongyan will infiltrate the Eighteenth Army through the research department. The key is that he doesn't know what is wrong now, so he can only be cautious secretly and deal with it carefully. There is also this regiment commander who obviously belongs to The real men fighting on the battlefield are definitely not the kind of villains who want to do shady things.

Walking near the headquarters, the regiment commander also became puzzled and couldn't help but ask a sentry on the roadside: "Where are the people in the third battalion? There is such a big movement. Is the commander of the third battalion still sleeping?"

The sentry stood at attention and said, "Report to the commander, the third battalion set out an hour ago. At that time, you had not passed here yet. The commander of the third battalion specifically stated that this was the order of Deputy Chief of Staff Geng. If you ask, You can go directly to Deputy Chief of Staff Geng."

The regiment leader was stunned for a moment, and then he cursed, "Damn it, you transferred one of my battalions without even saying hello. Something has happened now. I can't just bring the first and second battalions over. The rest of the passes How to guard it."

While talking, the regiment leader led Lin Xiaotang and others to the headquarters. The headquarters was brightly lit. The people inside seemed to have heard the complaints of the regiment leader outside, and seven or eight figures emerged from inside.

"Captain Lou, come here so late, is there anything?" A middle -aged officer in the major general's military uniforms asked.

Captain Lou watched the man's face, obviously a little angry, but he still respected a military ceremony honestly. "Deputy Chief of Staff Geng, Huangshan's official residence was bombed. Where did the three battalions go? This is the main transportation of the official residence of the chairman. Without the soldiers guarding, something happened, who is responsible. "

Deputy Chief of Staff Geng apparently smiled a little disdainful, "This thing does not need you to teach me. Captain Luo Jun and they went to the official residence to recuperate. I am the main officer here now. You only need to obey the order. As for the guard force, You don't have to worry, the base camp has been transferred to other troops to set up defense. "

"I am about to ask you, Chief of Luo Jun and deputy army commander, and the chief of staff. I haven't seen them for two days. This is nearly two thousand brothers up and down. Now that there is something, I want to go directly to the army to the army. Report. ""

Deputy Chief of Staff Geng didn't care about the tone of Lou's nearly collision. He waved his hand, "No need, Chief Luo Jun has given me the command to me before leaving, how can I command me to listen to your opinions, Huangshan The official residence encountered bombing, and I had sent San Batt ahead to rescue them. You returned to your post to listen to the order and dare to disrupt the heart of the army. I have the right to arrest you immediately. "

"Wait." Lin Xiaotang pulled the drumming head of Lou, "I want to ask Vice Chief of Staff Geng, the official residence of Huangshan has just been bombed, only ten minutes before and after. Could it be that Deputy Chief of Staff Geng can still be unpredictable. "

"This ...." Deputy Chief of Staff Geng said for a while.

"Also, the Guard Regiment is responsible for the leadership of the guards. The location is given to you, I want to ask, can this that may be so dramatic? "

Deputy Chief of Staff Geng's face suddenly became pale, and Lin Xiaotang continued to ask, "Third, all kinds of communications in Chongqing are interrupted. How did the base camp know that the troops here are scarce and will send other troops to support it. Long, you'd better answer my three questions clearly, otherwise, I have the right to immediately arrest you. "

"You, who are you, where is you qualified to ask the army's deployment." Vice Chief of Staff Geng was a bit anxious.

Xiaoshan Ling and Wang Sheng behind Lin Xiaotang heard Lin Xiaotang said so, secretly instructed his men to prepare for fighting.

Lin Xiaotang took out his own black document and shook in front of Vice Staff Geng, "I am a special agent of the military, do you say I am qualified to ask, and my military level is the middle general, or your chief, is it, is it? More qualified to ask you about it. "

Seeing the black document familiar to Lin Xiaotang's hands, Vice -Staff Geng's face suddenly became a bit distorted. When he gritted his teeth, he loudly said: "I don't care about your military uniform or the middle, in short, this is a military restricted area. The leader of the room cannot enter. "

Speaking, Deputy Chief of Staff Geng waved his hand, and there were dozens of black shadows appeared in the camp next to the camp. Although there were not many people, the team of 400 people was surrounded by the open space in front of the headquarters. Pulling away, it was two very heavy machine guns, the muzzle of the black hole pointed to Lin Xiaotang and others.

"If you go one step further, I have the right to think that you are trespassing into a military restricted area and order you all to be shot." A strange blush appeared on Deputy Chief of Staff Geng's face, and his finger was already on the trigger of the pistol.
