The strength of the Wuhan battle was tight. After pulling out the nail of Beitai, the Tianlu detachment was withdrawn, and the troops rushed to the Hubei battlefield, leaving only one wing to clean up the mess.

The Japanese army evacuated by boat, there was not even a ghost shadow outside the city, more than 100 people from the remnants of the North Thai army went straight to South Thailand, Chen Zikun looked back at the city in the smoke of gunpowder, and had mixed feelings in his heart, this was the first time he had such a painful defeat in Maicheng, more than ten years of accumulation were ruined, the brothers were exhausted, the advanced weapons purchased from Europe and the United States were exhausted, and the wives and children were all in the hands of the enemy, and he didn't even know whether the newborn child was male or female.

The hero fell into trouble, the tiger fell to Pingyang, the current situation is only slightly better than when he first arrived in Nantai as the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, 100 people, 100 guns, but it is 100 fires that can set the prairie on fire.

The night was like paint, and the black clouds were pressing down on the city, and Chen Zikun silently said: "I will come back." "Never look back.

There are still thousands of residents left in Beitai City, and according to the temperament of the Japanese army, they originally wanted to slaughter the city to vent their anger, but with the arrival of high-ranking generals such as Shunroku Hata and a large number of reporters, it seems that they will have to do some hard work, and then let go of their hands and feet like Nanjing, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult.

Wang Sanliu had a long talk with Aunt Wang, and knew that her mother had been living with Chen Zikun's family all these years, although she was an outsider, but the government respected her as an old lady, and never did dirty work, at most she took care of the children.

"Fang Guan, you must have a conscience as a man, and you will repay your kindness, and people will help you raise your mother, you can't take revenge." Aunt Wang persuaded hard.

Wang Sanliu lowered his head and smoked, his heart churned, he was originally an apprentice in Beijing, one day out of the city to deliver goods was arrested Zhuangding, the military uniforms of the direct Anhui Department were worn, and then he went to the Northeast and became the Praetorian Guard of Emperor Kant, because he was ruthless enough and sleek enough, he became a colonel, and married a wife and had children, which was much more profitable than being an apprentice at the beginning, but all this seems to be not so secure.

"Mother, I know, I don't understand this anymore, isn't it the same as an animal?" Wang Sanliu said.

There was a knock on the door, and the soldier said outside: "Captain, Commander Jin has sent someone to urge." ”

"Right away." Wang Sanliu didn't dare to snub this female devil, so he quickly changed into a clean military uniform and went to "report to work".

There is only one intact building in the entire Beitai City, which is the Chen Zikun Villa in Jiangwan, where the Japanese army heads lived, and Kawashima Yoshiko was no exception, she stayed in a guest room on the second floor, Wang Sanliu came to the door and knocked lightly: "Report, Commander Jin, the humble post is here." ”

"Come in." Yoshiko Kawashima Road.

Wang Sanliu opened the door and went in, only to see Commander Jin changing into a well-fitting cheongsam, showing a graceful posture, facing the mirror thrush.

"Sanliu, come and help me draw my eyebrows." Yoshiko Kawashima didn't reply.

Wang Sanliu hesitated slightly, stepped forward to serve, painting and painting, his eyes unconsciously saw the towering peaks under the cheongsam, although Kawashima Yoshiko often dresses up as a man, but her posture is still outstanding, at this time the lights in the room are dim, the fragrance is fragrant, Wang Sanliu's breathing is heavy, and finally can't stand the teasing, and he picked up Commander Jin and put him on the bed.

As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Sanliu woke up from a daze, felt a pain in his head, and didn't drink at night, why was he so dizzy, there must be something wrong with the incense, and he wanted to get up, but it was like having cramps, and he didn't have any strength at all.

"Wang Sang, you are bold enough to dare to kill the imperial army!" An angry shout came, which made him tremble, and then looked around him, the jade body of Kawashima Yoshiko was long gone, and standing in front of the bed was Commander Jin in a military uniform waist pistol and a saber.

"Commander Jin, you are wronged." Wang Sanliu hurriedly begged for mercy.

Yoshiko Kawashima grimaced and held her saber: "You dare to say that Captain Yamada was not killed by you?" ”

Wang Sanliu's brain turned quickly, his subordinates were all his own irons, he would never betray himself, his corpses were burned to charcoal, how to find out the truth, Yoshiko Kawashima was born as a spy, and she was used to cheating, I am afraid that she is deceiving herself.

He said with a straight face: "Commander Jin, although I have an opinion on Yamada-kun, but on the battlefield, my comrades-in-arms are like brothers, I admire his bravery, how could I kill him, dozens of brothers were present that day, and I saw Captain Yamada die heroically with my own eyes, which is not fake." ”

"Lie!" Yoshiko Kawashima pulled out her saber and put it on Wang Sanliu's neck.

Wang Sanliu calmly looked at her, but her heart was pounding.

After a while, Yoshiko Kawashima smiled and put away her saber: "Scare you, my good man." ”

Wang Sanliu was relieved, but said with a smile: "Commander Huwei, I was almost scared to pee just now." ”

Yoshiko Kawashima pinched his scarred face: "Laughing is more ugly than crying, laugh again." ”

Wang Sanliu was brewing a bright smile, and suddenly heard some animal downstairs making an earth-shattering roar, Kawashima Yoshiko picked up the phone: "Hey, what's going on down there, oh, a bear, I'll take a look." ”

When I came downstairs, I saw a black bear tied with iron chains, and several Japanese soldiers standing next to it, holding axes and kitchen knives.

The black bear was fierce, and several short cooks were dragged by chains and staggered, embarrassed, Kawashima Yoshiko smiled and leaned back together, and only after laughing did she ask, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Report, the squadron found the bear in the basement and planned to kill it for meat."

"Eating meat? You bastards, it's just Lang Fei, such a good bear, you should raise it, and smoke bear bile alive. ”

Kawashima Yoshiko saved Da Zhuang's life with a word, but pushed it into an even more painful abyss, and since then he has been wearing an iron vest and being smoked alive every day for high-ranking officials of the imperial army to clear their livers and eyes, which is worse than death.

Wang Sanliu said goodbye at the right time: "Commander Jin, retire from your humble position." ”

Yoshiko Kawashima waved her hand, as if she remembered something: "Oh, by the way, the imperial army is tight, and there is a lack of useful strength here, I recommended you, do it well, don't lose the face of our Manchukuo." ”

Wang Sanliu wanted to refuse, but after all, he still didn't dare to say it, so he had to heel together: "Yes!" The humble duty will never live up to the cultivation of Commander Jin. ”

Back at the next place, Aunt Wang asked her son: "Why didn't you come back overnight, the Japanese suspected you?" ”

Wang Sanliu said: "Mother, don't think nonsense, the Japanese are solid-eyed, not so smart, they are ready to appoint me as the official of Beitai." ”

Aunt Wang said: "The Japanese officials, whether it is inappropriate, what are you going to do with our mothers?" ”

Wang Sanliu said: "People respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, Chen Zikun helps me to honor my mother, I help him take care of his wife and children, and he is worthy of his spirit in the sky." ”

Aunt Wang was shocked: "He, he, what's wrong with him?" ”

Wang Sanliu said: "On the way back from the bombing of Chongqing, the imperial planes met Chen Zikun's landline and shot him down, and now Chongqing has issued an obituary. ”

Aunt Wang's tears welled up: "Poor orphans and widows, what will I do in the future." ”

Wang Sanliu said: "Now that the Japanese are powerful, and it is inconvenient for Mrs. Chen to leave during confinement, let's stay temporarily, mother, you help me take care of them, and the other girls, I will find an opportunity to let them out of the city." ”

Aunt Wang nodded yes, held back her tears and went back to the house to take care of Lin Wenjing, there was a little baby in the basket next to the bed, with white and tender skin and long eyelashes, she was Chen Zikun's youngest daughter, and she had not yet been named.

Lin Wenjing suffered from dystocia and suffered a lot of blood, her face was extremely pale, and she was extremely weak, Aunt Wang couldn't bear to tell her the bad news, and only said that the soldiers had broken through and everything was fine.

"Then I'll be relieved." Lin Wenjing's face was flushed, she looked sideways at her sleeping daughter in the cradle, and said, "Auntie, you can name her." ”

"I can't help it, I don't know a few words, how can I name it, Mrs., you are a gentleman in the university, you can call it." Aunt Wang hurriedly shook her head.

"This girl's life is fulfilled by you, and you are naturally qualified to name her." Lin Wenjing said.

"Okay, I'll give her a nickname, and I won't give her a big name until I go to school." Aunt Wang looked at the child, but what she thought in her heart was Chen Zikun, who had sacrificed his life for the country, this child was pitiful, he had no father when he was born...... "Let's call it a little cabbage." ”

"Little cabbage, well, that's a good name." Lin Wenjing seemed to be quite satisfied, but Aunt Wang was sad again, and found an excuse to go out to wipe her tears.

Wang Sanliu did not break his promise, released Xia Jingxi and others, and sent a car to escort them to Nantai, which also settled the old lady's heart.

……

For the Japanese army, Nantai County is insignificant, if it weren't for the fact that there are still a few coal mines in the county, they don't even bother to send troops to occupy it, Xia Jingqi, who is subordinate to the Central China secret service, made great contributions in the battle to conquer Beitai, and rewarded him from above, appointing him as the commander of Nantai County's security.

Xia Jingqi was very disappointed, his goal was the commander of the Beitai garrison, but this position had been obtained by Wang Sanliu from Manchukuo, in terms of the qualifications to be a traitor, Xia Jingqi was slightly inferior, so he could only suffer this dumb loss.

It was not bad to return to his hometown, but Xia Jingqi had few soldiers under him, so he had to beg the imperial army to send troops to suppress the formation, and he sent a small team of Japanese soldiers to send him to take office.

On the way to Nantai, the sun was shining in the sky, the green gauze tent was rattling, the buttocks curtain behind the hats of the Japanese soldiers were fanning and fanning, their mouths were dry and their stomachs were hungry, and they suddenly saw a village in the distance, it seemed that there was smoke rising, and the devil soldiers moved their index fingers, and they didn't care about Xia Jingqi who was sitting on the mule cart, and ran to the village with a big gun.

Someone stood guard at the entrance of the village, saw the devil coming, hurriedly sounded the gong to warn, the villagers hurriedly dodged, and when the Japanese soldiers entered the village, it was already empty and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

The devils searched around, trying to catch a few chickens and go back to the tooth sacrifice, a ghost soldier with glasses kicked open a door, looked around with a gun, and there was not even a chicken feather, and was about to turn back, when he suddenly saw a few red and white water-drenched rags hanging on the rope, and helped his glasses to observe, the red stripe seemed to be the light line on the Rising Sun Flag, his breath became short, and he took down the rags and put them together, which was the lost United Flag!

No, the most important part is missing, look left and right, there are still unwashed in the wooden basin, lift it up, there are black characters on it - the 45th Infantry Wing, there is a piece of next to it, and it is the four words of Jiaren (the name of Emperor Taisho).

"Half loaded! The Wing Flag has been found! There were loud cheers in the small village.
