Chapter 66 Farewell to Chen Ruoyun
Ye Feng and his party gradually entered the depths of the mountainous areas and completely got rid of the Japanese pursuers. The sun set, and the sky was getting darker.
"Everyone rests on the spot, we'll spend the night here tonight."
Ye Feng put down Chen Ruoyun on his back and ordered everyone to rest and prepare for the overnight venue. Several special forces were preparing to make a fire, while several special forces were preparing to fight some wild game.
"Zhao Long, turn on our radio station and I want to contact the Third War Zone."
...
The Third War Zone Command.
A colonel staff officer excitedly held a telegram and shouted loudly outside Gu Zhutong's office door. After receiving permission, the colonel walked in quickly.
"The report chief, the Independent Brigade just sent us a telegram. They have completely gotten rid of the pursuers and are currently resting and preparing to head towards Shannan County after dawn tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhutong was also happy. The radio station that Ye Feng and his friends carried with him finally turned on again and sent a telegram, which was good news.
"What else was said in the telegram?"
"The report chief, the telegram is very long. Brigade Commander Ye and others interrogated Hirohiko Asakamiya and learned of a huge conspiracy from the Japanese army. The Japanese army planned to carry out a massacre in Nanjing after capturing Nanjing, and to kill all the people in Nanjing."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhutong changed color. If the news was true, then these Japanese devils would have reached the point of being crazy.
Gu Zhutong had no doubt about the authenticity of the news. After all, it was obtained through interrogation of Hitohiko Asakamiya. Who was Hitohiko Asakamiya? He was a Japanese lieutenant general, former commander of the Japanese Shanghai dispatched army, and commander-in-chief of the Japanese army's siege.
In fact, Ye Feng sent this news without interrogating Hirohiko Asakamiya. Based on his understanding of history, Ye Feng knew that the order for the Nanjing Massacre in the later generations was issued by Hirohiko Asakamiya. This time, Hirohiko Asakamiya happened to be in Ye Feng's hands, and Ye Feng would definitely use it to inform the Third War Zone of the Japanese conspiracy.
Feeling the seriousness of the matter, Gu Zhutong walked around in his office. After a long time, Gu Zhutong decided to send a report to Chairman Jiang in Wuhan to report on the situation.
As a radio wave was released, the entire top leaders of the National Government were shocked, and even Chairman Jiang took it seriously. Chairman Jiang ordered Tang Shengzhi to immediately organize all the ships to evacuate the people in the city and cross the river from the north of Nanjing City to retreat north.
After receiving the order from Chairman Jiang, Tang Shengzhi did not dare to neglect. On the night of December 9, he evacuated the people overnight. Suddenly, a large number of people crossed the river by boat to reach the north of the Yangtze River, and more people were also evacuating.
In addition, Chairman Jiang personally ordered Gu Zhutong to escort the alive Akagaki Hirohiko who was captured alive to Wuhan. However, when Gu Zhutong sent a message to Ye Feng again, the radio station that Ye Feng and his friends carried were turned off again.
Unable to contact Ye Feng, Gu Zhutong had no choice but to report to Jiang Jiang truthfully.
***
It was dawn, and Ye Feng and his team spent the night in the forest, and continued to move towards Shannan County the next day.
On December 10, the Japanese army besieged Nanjing launched a general attack. Five Japanese divisions and two detachments, with the cooperation of hundreds of cannons and hundreds of aircraft, launched a general attack on Nanjing from three aspects, including east, south and west, and the battle was extremely fierce.
A large number of Japanese troops launched a full-scale attack on Yuhuatai, Tongjimen, Guanghuamen, Zijinshan and other positions, and the battle situation was more intense than on the 9th. Especially in the southeast of the city, the Fukuo position had basically been lost and the Japanese army directly attacked the city walls, so the situation was very serious.
On December 11, the 16th Japanese Division attacked the Chinese military positions in the north and south of Zijin Mountain. The Zijin Mountain and its south of Zijin Mountain resolutely fought. The Japanese army made no progress in the fierce battle, but its right-wing troops captured the Yangfangshan and Yinkongshan positions defended by the 2nd Army and advanced to the vicinity of Yaohuamen.
On December 12, a large number of Japanese troops began to suddenly attack the city, and street fighting began in the city. At this time, a large number of ordinary people had not had time to evacuate.
According to Ye Feng's order, Sun Yang and others who had been lurking in Shanghai, left Shanghai quietly shortly after the Asakagu Palace Kuiyan left Shanghai. They arrived outside Nanjing on the afternoon of the 10th. On the evening of the 10th, Sun Yang and several intelligence personnel mingled into the city.
The battle situation in Nanjing City was sent by Sun Yang from time to time to Ye Feng and the radio stations brought by Ye Feng were turned on on the afternoon of December 10 and never closed again.
During this period, the Third War Zone contacted Ye Feng many times and asked Ye Feng to escort Chaoxianggong Jiuyan to the Third War Zone. Ye Feng called back and asked him to come and ask the Third War Zone to come and ask him personally. He has only a few more than twenty people at present and is weak. If there is any accident on the road, it will be more than worth the loss.
Ye Feng's reply was a bit perfunctory. Ye Feng had his own little plan in his heart. For Ye Feng, Asakagumi Kuchihiko had a great purpose.
This was Ye Feng's first disobedience. Gu Zhutong seemed to have noticed something. Gu Zhutong was slightly dissatisfied. However, Ye Feng made a lot of sense. Ye Feng was indeed only twenty people now, and the journey to the Third War Zone Command was long. If there was any accident, Gu Zhutong could not afford it.
Finally, after thinking about it over and over again, Gu Zhutong also agreed and allowed Ye Feng to take Kuiyan Chaoxiang Palace to Shannan County first. In this way, many of Ye Feng's subsequent plans could be implemented.
Asakagumiya Hirohiko was captured alive with great effort, and Ye Feng didn't want to hand it over to the Third War Zone and hand it over to the top leaders of the National Army. Who knows whether Chiang Kai-shek would make some transactions with Asakagumiya Hirohiko and Japan for political interests.
On the afternoon of the 12th, Shannan County was in sight.
"We will soon reach the mirror of Shannan County, and it is only half a day away from the county town." Zhao Long next to him said happily.
"Yes! I'm finally going home." Ye Feng sighed a little.
This time, I went to Nanjing. Although it was not very long, about ten days, there were a lot of things happening in the middle. Ye Feng not only earned a lot of meritorious points, close to 100,000 points, but also captured Hikari Asakamiya alive.
"Everyone have some rest."
Hearing Ye Feng's order, everyone rested on the spot, carrying the special forces member of Asakagumi Kurahiko and also placed Asakagumi Kurahiko heavily on the ground, causing Asakagumi Kurahiko to grin.
"Captain Luo, we are about to return to Shannan County. What are your plans?"
Seeing Ye Feng ask, Luo Anhua seemed to have already thought about it, and immediately said: "Brig Commander Ye, I want to join the Independent Brigade to fight the Japanese with you."
After saying that, Luo Anhua was full of expectations and looked at Ye Feng nervously, as if he was afraid that Ye Feng would not agree.
Ye Feng smiled softly, "Bathman Commander Luo, welcome you. When you arrive in Shannan County, you can serve as the battalion commander in our Independent Brigade."
"Yes! Thank you Brigade Commander Ye!" Luo Anhua replied with excitement.
After solving Luo Anhua's problem, Ye Feng fell in love with Chen Ruoyun next to him. Ye Feng said with concern: "Ruoyun, what about you? What are your plans?"
Chen Ruoyun also hopes to stay with Ye Feng forever, but as a war correspondent, Chen Ruoyun has a large amount of precious information, especially some photos taken in Nanjing, such as Ye Feng and others blowing up the Japanese artillery positions, blowing up the special trains of Kyuhiko Asagakuen, capturing Kyuhiko Asagakuen alive, etc.
In addition, Chen Ruoyun also wrote several reports, and Chen Ruoyun wanted to publish them immediately in the Central Daily News, but Chen Ruoyun did not want to leave Ye Feng.
Chen Ruoyun was very confused.
As if he knew what Chen Ruoyun was thinking, Ye Feng held Chen Ruoyun's little hand and said, "Ruoyun, you do the important business first, and when you have time, you will come to our Shannan County as a guest."
Chen Ruoyun thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, Brother Ye, then I will report back to the agency first. When I finish my business, I will come to Shannan County to find you."
"Okay, Zhao Long, send ten special forces members to escort reporter Chen back to the report agency."
Originally, the Central Daily Newspaper was in Nanjing, but before the Nanjing Defense Battle, everyone had temporarily moved to Changsha. The journey to Changsha was long, so Ye Feng sent ten special forces members to escort them at one time.
"Brother Ye, I will come to find you."
Seeing that the parting was about to be gone, Chen Ruoyun's eyes were red and she even sobbed gently. It was obvious that she did not want to leave Ye Feng and could not bear to leave Ye Feng. Although she had not been with Ye Feng for a long time, Chen Ruoyun's reluctance to Ye Feng was written on her face at this time.
