Not long after Duanwu, Commander Yu and others left, a Guangxi Army patrol found the place.
They were in charge of patrolling, and they were afraid that the Japanese would infiltrate and threaten Xuzhou's safety. But they suddenly heard gunshots, so they ran over to check.
But this was unbelievable, as one of Gui Jun's brothers was killed.
"Who did this? A spy must have infiltrated in. Let me check and see if anyone is alive. We must find out who did it!"
A company commander-level officer was angry because his initial judgment was that a spy had infiltrated and was discovered by a group of Gui army brothers. Then the two sides exchanged fire and all the Gui army brothers died here.
So you can imagine his anger at this time.
"Reporting to the company commander, none of the brothers survived. But what is very strange is that we did not find any traces of a large number of enemy troops. There were only ruts of an off-road vehicle in the woods, and we picked up a strip of polished bullets.
Take a look at the sniper rifle."
After that, the soldier handed the sniper rifle he picked up into the hands of his company commander.
The company commander looked at the gun and felt that it looked very familiar. Then he looked at the position of the butt of the gun and saw the word "De Neighbor" engraved on it.
"commander?"
The company commander was shocked when he saw these two words, because this gun belonged to their commander.
"You continue to search for survivors here, I will go to the headquarters immediately."
After that, the company commander took a gun and rode a horse, and rushed all the way to the headquarters.
Because the gun belonged to Li Zhongren, he was worried about the commander's safety.
But when he returned to the headquarters, Li Zhongren was still sitting at the headquarters.
Li Zhongren was still very surprised. Why was one of his junior officers so eager to see him?
The officer presented the gun. Li Zhongren was shocked when he saw the gun. Wasn't this gun borrowed by that guy from Duanwu for hunting? Why did it appear in the mountains and one of his own soldiers died?
"Did that guy at Dragon Boat Festival lend me the gun just to kill my patrol?"
Li Zhongren was shocked, but then he thought it was wrong, because there was no need for this during the Dragon Boat Festival. He was so idle that he was so idle? He borrowed his sniper rifle to shoot his own patrol, and then left the gun where it was? This is not possible after he is full.
Come and play with the tiger's beard?
So he felt that things were definitely not that simple, not to mention that Commander Yu was still here, so Commander Yu would definitely not be so ruthless.
"Go back immediately and investigate the identities of the deceased. I want to know which unit they belong to and what they were doing at that location. I also need detailed information about each of them. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The company commander took the order and turned back to investigate. At this time, Li Zhongren picked up the phone and contacted the 51st Army, asking if Commander Yu and Duan Wu had gone back?
But the other party's answer was that they had not yet seen Commander Yu or the Dragon Boat Festival Commissioner.
Li Zhongren ordered that the military headquarters of the 51st Army immediately send someone to respond to the commander Yu and the Dragon Boat Festival Commissioner. Once the two men returned to the 51st Army safely, they would report to him immediately.
At this time, when the other party responded, Li Zhongren took a long breath and hung up the phone. Because he had begun to suspect that the battle in the south of the city was not that simple.
···············
At the same time, Duanwu and Commander Yu were still on the road.
The Dragon Boat Festival was surprisingly quiet for a while, but Commander Yu was not used to it and asked: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, are you worried?"
Duanwu thought for a while and said to Commander Yu: "We are all brothers, so I won't hide it from you. In this battle, I need the cooperation of the 51st Army. I wonder if you, Lao Yu, are interested in this?"
Commander Yu smiled and said: "What do I think it is? Brother, don't worry, as long as you say a word, I dare to fight with my brother through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
Duanwu bowed his hand, but then said: "This time, when we fight, we have to cooperate with the underground party, so we ask the brothers of the 51st Army for their convenience."
Commander Yu looked embarrassed, because the Northeast Army was now worse than before. Not only had it withdrawn from the Northeast, but it was also not trusted by the Chairman. At this time, if it continued to have contact with the underground party, the consequences could be imagined.
But how smart is Duan Wu? He could see Commander Yu's worry at a glance. He said to Commander Yu: "It's okay. If something goes wrong, just blame it on me. I will give you the next instruction when the time comes. If the superiors ask
If you are responsible, just say this is my order."
Commander Yu hurriedly said: "How can this happen? Don't I even have this responsibility for someone?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Of course I trust you to be loyal enough. But I'm fine! The Chairman loves me. Do you understand?"
Commander Yu thought the same thing. Based on Duanwu's relationship with the Chairman, it doesn't matter even if he has some relationship with the underground party.
However, he was still worried about Duanwu's future. He said to Duanwu: "I think brothers should not use this underground party if they can. Aren't my 51st Army not enough for you?"
Duanwu shook his head and said: "I use not only the army, but also the underground party's intelligence network and their familiarity with the terrain. Because next, we may use their guerrilla tactics, which are very important for the terrain requirements.
, I don’t want to lead the team to a dead end and be surrounded by Japanese soldiers when I’m fighting, can you understand?”
Commander Yu nodded and said: "Brother Duanwu, don't worry, our 51st Army will cooperate with you in everything."
Duanwu smiled and nodded, because he had one more thing done.
However, at this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded from ahead, and Commander Yu quickly slowed down the car.
Because he had encountered an attack before, he suspected that there were enemies ambush ahead.
But at this time Duanwu said: "Don't worry, we have arrived at our territory, no one will ambush us anymore. And there are not so many little devils, otherwise it won't be us they want to assassinate, but us
Chief Li, haha!”
Duanwu laughed, and at this time, when the car turned out of the woods, what he saw was the flag of the 51st Army. There were three trucks in total, and they were all Commander Yu's guards.
These people were overjoyed when they saw Commander Yu. They quickly stopped their vehicles and ran towards Commander Yu.
When the captain of the guard approached, he asked with concern: "Sir, are you okay?"
Commander Yu said: "What can I do? I'm just going to Xuzhou for a meeting."
The captain of the guard said in surprise: "But that's not what the headquarters said. It said that you and the Dragon Boat Festival Commissioner were most likely to be attacked. Let us immediately reinforce along the route you came back?"
Hearing this, Commander Yu looked at Duan Wu who was standing aside. Duan Wu said with a smile: "He should have received the gun I gave back to Lao Li. Let me just say, Lao Li is not that stupid. The Japanese spies wanted to kill him, but he didn't."
