Chen Zilin took Cui Lin and others down the hill and walked through the mountains and fields for half an hour. After that, they came to a camp, which was a gathering place for the volunteers. Chen Zilin got a military truck there and immediately took everyone there. Rushed to the Xinghua Volunteer Army headquarters located on a street in Bukit Timah,
When they arrived at the gate of the headquarters, a car drove out. Chen Zilin stepped on the brakes and put into neutral, and said to Cui Lin who was sitting in the passenger seat: "The person who left just now is Colonel Dali, our commander." Officer, a pretty good Englishman."
Cui Lin sneered coldly: "Not bad, he is the only regular soldier in the entire volunteer army, but he is hiding in the safest rear area. Forget it, stop being so sulky, go in and see what Commander Lin and Commander Hu are doing. No one is here."
Chen Zilin got off the car and ran into the courtyard where the headquarters was located. A few minutes later, he ran to the door of the courtyard and waved to Cui Lin, while shouting: "Both commanders are here, you can come down."
Lin Jiangshi and Hu Tiejun, the deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army, had just finished a meeting with Dali and were about to pack up and leave when they saw Chen Zilin running in and saying that the Xuebing Army had sent people. They were not unfamiliar with the term Xuebing Army. , also knew that the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army was Ouyang Yun, but couldn't figure out why Ouyang Yun sent people to look for them. Seeing that the two seemed hesitant, Chen Zilin told Cui Lin's comments about the British, After hearing these words, Lin Jiangshi and Hu Tiejun looked at each other and decided to meet this Cui Lin and that Xiao Yi to see why they came.
Cui Lin asked the other six people to be on guard in the car, took Xiao Yi out of the car and walked into the headquarters of the Xinghua Volunteer Army. He followed Chen Zilin into Lin Jiangshi's office. The two of them still dressed up as British soldiers, but their energy was different from that of the British soldiers. There is a huge difference. Today's British soldiers have wilted heads and brains like eggplants after frost, while Cui Lin and the others have straight backs, resolute expressions, and an invincible sharpness in their eyes. Lin Jiangshi and Hu Tiejun only glanced at them and immediately noticed the difference. The two looked at each other, and their expressions were subconsciously cautious. After Chen Zilin introduced them, after the four people exchanged greetings, Hu Tiejun said: "I have long heard that the Xuebing Army is a tiger and a wolf. The division is currently the most capable force in fighting Japanese invaders in the country, and now it seems that it has truly lived up to its reputation."
Cui Lin: "Commander Hu, thank you for your praise. Our student army is the Chinese army. Fighting the Japanese is our job, but we don't deserve your ridiculous praise."
Hu Tiejun laughed and asked the two of them to sit down.
The five people sat down separately, and Lin Jiangshi asked straight to the point: "You two, do you have any evidence for saying that you came here under the order of Commander-in-Chief Ouyang? Please don't blame me for being suspicious. During this critical period, for the safety of our people, I You have to be more careful.”
Chen Zilin couldn't help but blush when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect that just now." Not only did he not think of checking the identities of Cui Lin and others, he even showed his ID to Xiao Yi.
Hu Tiejun: "I don't blame you. They killed so many Japanese, which is proof in itself."
Cui Lin reached into his arms and took out a steel plate from his chest. He took it off with the chain and handed it to Lin Jiangshi. He said politely: "Commander Lin, this is what it should be. This is my identity plate. Please check it."
Lin Jiangshi took it, looked at it front and back, and handed it to Hu Tiejun. Hu Tiejun was considered an expert because he had studied at Huangpu Military Academy. He read it carefully twice, his eyes became bright, stood up, and politely handed the steel to him. The card was returned to Cui Lin, and he said to Lin Jiangshi: "Yes, he is from Xuebingjun." Then, he turned to look at Cui Lin, then at Xiao Yi, and said: "I didn't expect that the two of you were still Lang Ya. Really disrespectful.”
Cui Lin put the steel plate back on his chest and chuckled: "Listen to Deputy Commander Hu, you know our Wolf Fang."
When Chen Zilin heard that Cui Lin and the others were actually Langya, he thought of something and his eyes flashed brightly. He then answered: "Captain Cui, our Deputy Commander Hu is a graduate of Whampoa Military Academy. He is well-informed. What doesn't he know?" .”
Hu Tiejun waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "What happened in the past is not worth mentioning." Looking at Cui Lin, he straightened his posture and said: "As a cadet from Whampoa Military Academy, I failed to serve the country in the army. I am so ashamed. When I first heard about the Xuebing Army, I heard about Langya. That time, it seems to be in Tianjin, your Langya broke into the depths of the Japanese 108th Division and captured its division commander Doihara Kenji alive..." Hu Tiejun said When talking about Langya's many achievements, Cui Lin and Xiao Yi naturally blushed when they heard it. Lin Jiangshi and Chen Zilin were stunned for a while, and looked at Cui Lin and Xiao Yi. It's getting hotter and hotter,
Hu Tiejun obviously had an in-depth understanding of Xuebingjun and Langya. As soon as he started talking about Langya's glorious deeds, he started talking endlessly. In the end, Cui Lin felt embarrassed, and also wanted to finish the business as soon as possible and speak out. Interrupted him and made him stop,
Hu Tiejun was interrupted and said embarrassedly: "Oh, if you didn't remind me, I almost forgot to ask. Commander Ouyang asked you to come over for something very important, right? What is it?"
Cui Lin: "Two commanders, have you predicted the outcome of this battle?"
Lin Jiangshi and Hu Tiejun looked at each other. The former sighed and said with a wry smile: "Do you still need to predict? It is only a matter of time before the British army retreats. The British army usually looks very powerful. Who would have thought that it would be so unwilling to fight? As for the Australians and Indians, the British are not willing to fight hard, let alone count on them. Captain Cui, just now Zilin said that Commander-in-Chief Ouyang personally led the expeditionary force into the Phnom Penh area. You came to us this time because Are you serving as an outpost for the expeditionary force to send troops to Malaya?"
Cui Lin: "I don't know the commander-in-chief's plans, but what is certain is that he will definitely find a way to help you. The purpose of our coming to Singapore is to establish contact with you. The next thing will be decided by the Cadet Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Specifically in charge, Commander Lin, do you have a radio station here? We urgently need a radio station to communicate with the headquarters."
"There is a radio station, do you need a telegraph operator?"
"As long as there is a radio station, among the eight of us there are communications troops, two commanders, and Company Commander Chen. Without further ado, please arrange a room for us to generate electricity. We want to get in touch with the headquarters immediately to receive new instructions. .”
"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away." Hu Tiejun said,
About a quarter of an hour later, Cui Lin and the others sent a telegram, and only about ten minutes later, they received a reply. The reply was from the Xuexi Expeditionary Force Headquarters. The telegram gave the new information. He asked Cui Lin and the others to send back the latest situation in Singapore and asked him to get in touch with Mr. Tan Kah Kee as soon as possible. Cui Lin informed Lin Jiangshi and Hu Tiejun of the contents of the telegram. Lin and Hu learned the contents of the telegram. Later, when he realized that the Xuebing Army should take further concrete actions, Ouyang Yun's so-called rescue of overseas Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia was not empty talk, and his high-spirited heart couldn't help but drop halfway.
Early the next morning, they took Cui Lin to visit Tan Kah Kee. At about 8 o'clock in the morning, with Cui Lin's assistance, Tan Kah Kee and Ouyang Yun established direct telegraph contact.
At this point, Cui Lin and the others have completed half of their mission. Next, it will be up to Ouyang Yun and Tan Kah Kee to work together to turn the world upside down and rescue the overseas Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia.
