Li Changfu had already cut the rope and helped his brother up, shaking him while calling him.
Lao Li was woken up by him and opened his eyes. Seeing that only his brother and Xiao Wuzi were in front of him, Lao Li sat up with difficulty. He said to Changfu: "Tell the second and third sons to hang out with Commander Zhao from now on. Commander Zhao is a person who can achieve things.
Changfu, after my brother dies, take his ashes back to my hometown. I dream of going home! "As he said this, tears were already streaming down Lao Li's face.
Changfu was about to carry him away, but Lao Li held him down. Lao Li's voice became smaller and smaller, "There is a brother's son in Zunhua City..." Only then did Changfu see clearly that Lao Li's abdomen was full of blood. It has flowed into one piece. And Lao Li's face became paler and paler. He knew that his brother's vitality was gradually disappearing.
Li Changfu cried loudly, but Li Changhe in his arms was silent.
Xiao Wuzi tore a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the wound on his left arm. The gun didn't hurt the bones, it just passed through the muscle.
He saw that Old Li had lost his voice while Xiao Li was still crying bitterly. Xiao Wuzi went over and patted him and said, "Take Commander Li away first. Don't stay here. The Japanese army will be coming soon."
Li Changfu carried his brother's body. Xiaowuzi couldn't use his left hand, so he wrapped Ikeda's head in clothes and tied it around his waist. He held a gun in his right hand and warned Li Changfu to evacuate.
Xiaowuzi knew that Erniu was on the mountain. With him there, there would be no problem for Lao Zhao to evacuate.
The Japanese military police finally went up the mountain, but when they came up, the plainclothes team, snipers, and their captain on the mountain had all been wiped out, and no one was left alive.
The captain of the military police squadron had no choice but to order his men to collect the corpses of his comrades and find the body of Colonel Ikeda. Then he stopped chasing the enemy because Ikeda's death was a big deal and there was no point in winning this battle. If you go back on your own, you will have to suffer the consequences, regardless of whether you directed this battle or not, so there is no value in continuing to pursue them.
So, the squadron leader ordered to withdraw his troops and return to the city.
At the base camp of Wuling Mountain, Lao Zhao was organizing everyone to pay a funeral to his fallen comrades. This time, although the Japanese plainclothes team was completely wiped out, he also killed Colonel Ikeda. But the losses here were not small. Commander Li was killed, and more than ten team members here were also killed, not counting the injured Jin Liang, Xiao Wuzi and others.
Li Changfu told Lao Li's men, the second and third boss, Commander Li's last words in front of everyone.
They and Lao Li are both brothers. So, the second and third children all swore an oath in front of their brother's body, and then left with Commander Zhao.
Lao Zhao said to Lao Li's brothers: "I don't care what you did before. As long as you fight Japanese, you are my brother. I may have more rules here. If you can't be restrained, please bring it up now. I won't stop you." Go, but if you surrender to the enemy, you will be the enemy of everyone on Yanshan Mountain. I believe everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and everyone can weigh it for themselves. "
There were really those who couldn't bear the restraint. More than ten people came out. They kowtowed in front of the elder brother's body, and then said to Lao Zhao: "We swear in front of the elder brother's body today that we will never surrender to the Japanese. But we are used to freedom. Zhao Commander, just let us go?"
Lao Zhao did not stop them, but sent them away. Then, he cremated his body as Commander Li said, and held a memorial service for all the fallen soldiers to bid farewell solemnly.
Jin Liang's injury was very serious. Although he was simply bandaged after returning, he was still unconscious. Liu Xiayi took care of him all night. When Jin Liang opened his eyes in a daze, he was in a trance. He didn't know when and where he was.
When he saw the girl lying in front of the bed, Jin Liang's eyes were wet. He stroked the girl's soft hair and said weakly: "I'm going to die. I know your heart is not with me, but I still can't help thinking." I want to be close to you and want to see you often. When I leave, you will be relieved and no longer have to deal with me under the pressure of the family. After I die, will you be sad for me? "
After speaking, she fainted again, but Liu Xia had woken up long ago. Listening to these love words that were not love words, her eyes suddenly blurred with tears, and her heart was in a mess. She couldn't describe the feeling.
At dawn, Lao Zhao ordered Bayin to drive Xiao Wuzi and Liu Xia to escort Jin Liang to the Eighth Route Military Hospital in Pingxi. He also happened to have Xiao Wuzi go to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei headquarters to complete his task of sending intelligence.
Liu Xia was asked to go because no one at the headquarters knew them, and they didn't know who they were? It must be introduced by an acquaintance.
Lao Zhao kept Er Niu and Cao Shangfei because he had a lot of things going on and he needed talents so much. If Xiao Wuzi hadn't been injured as well, he would have been the first to keep Xiao Wuzi.
At this point, Lao Zhao kept asking his superiors in his report to send Xiao Wuzi back after he completed his mission.
The condition of Jin Liang's injury was not optimistic. Xiao Wuzi's wound medicine could only stop the bleeding, but could not do anything to treat the inflammation inside. I could only keep cooling down Brother Jin Liang with cold water on the road.
Before walking too far, Xiaowuzi stopped. Jin Liangzhong was in such a bad condition that he couldn't go too far, and his medical condition was not good either.
The best way at present is to send him to Chengde or Peiping immediately, but Xiao Wuzi in Peiping is confused and doesn't know which hospital is safe to send him to, so Xiao Wuzi decides to go to Chengde. He would rather let Jin Liang's family find him than see him. He lost his life because of this good friend.
Bayin turned the carriage around and headed towards Chengde again.
It was already night when we arrived in Chengde, and Xiaowuzi used their police ID and Jin Liang's official ID to send him directly to the largest hospital in Chengde.
Xiaowuzi was a little worried. This was a gunshot wound and might be investigated by the Japanese.
Liu Xia said: "I can go to Brother Jin's uncle. We had dinner at his house that day. He seems to be a powerful figure in Rehe Province."
Xiao Wuzi thought for a while and said: "That's okay, then you have to show yourself as Brother Jin Liang's fiancee. You tell them that we met Hu Hu in the mountains and were robbed. Anyway, Brother Jin Liang's gunshot wound was also It was shot with a box cannon, so it should be able to fool him.
Xiaowuzi's worries were indeed correct. Just after he was admitted to the hospital and before the operation, the police came, saying that they were assigned by Japan to check the wounds of the wounded and identify whether they were anti-bandits.
Xiaowuzi showed them his ID, but the group didn't buy it. Instead, they asked Xiaowuzi to provide a transfer order to prove why they came here.
At this moment, Liu Xia came back, followed by a middle-aged man, a very dignified man.
"What's the matter? Your special agent's investigation into the anti-bandit investigation is on me? Do you know who that is? That's the emperor's cousin. Can he be an anti-bandit? It's a big joke."
The police officers immediately saluted and said hello to the mayor in unison. It turns out that Jin Liang's god-uncle is actually the deputy mayor of Chengde.
This uncle's surname is Yu, and he is the brother of Jin Liang's uncle. It was at Uncle Yu's house that day that Jin Liang went to inquire about the news.
The policemen left in despair, and Xiao Wuzi quickly let the mayor in.
The mayor didn't regard himself as an outsider. When he entered the house, he scolded the little five, saying that you, the bodyguards, failed to protect the master's family. Do you still have the nerve to hang out in the world? Don’t you know that the Lord will humiliate his subjects and die?
Xiao Wuzi could only nod his head in agreement, but he was not annoyed with this man at all. He just found it funny. Although he was scolding Xiao Wuzi, he showed concern for Jin Liang.
Jin Liang was finally pushed into the operating room under the mayor's care, and Xiao Wuzi finally felt relieved.
The operation went smoothly, but the surgeon was a Japanese. He sewed up Jin Liang's damaged intestines, but left a hole in his belly, and inserted a rubber tube into him, saying it was for exhaust.
In order to reduce inflammation, Jin Liang was injected with sulfonamide, which is currently the best anti-inflammatory drug.
(Penicillin was mass-produced in 1943 to 1944)
Xiaowuzi found a hotel next to the hospital and stayed with Bayin. Liu Xia's home was in Chengde City, so Xiaowuzi sent her home again to let her get together with her mother.
The next day, Jin Liang's fever finally subsided and he became sober. Uncle Yu sent two servants to serve him. When Xiaowuzi saw that he had nothing to do here, he discussed with him and planned to leave him here first and report to the headquarters himself.
Jin Liang was worried that if his family knew about it, they would definitely send someone to take him back. Xiao Wuzi said, "I'll leave Liu Xia to you. You can use her as an excuse to say that your fiancée is here." Jin Liang said with a smile. : "That's useless, they will take her away with them. Okay, you can leave first. I will think of a way then and we will meet at Wuling Mountain."
Xiao Wuzi thought for a moment, and Brother Jin Liang must be safe here. After all, his identity is here. As long as his life is not in danger, everything is hopeful.
Xiao Wuzi left, taking Bayin with him, leaving Liu Xia with Jin Liang.
Back at Wuling Mountain, Lao Zhao was surprised to see him back, so Xiao Wuzi told him the actual situation.
Lao Zhao is a good leader who can put himself in his shoes, so he didn't criticize him. But Liu Xia didn't come back, and there was no one to guide them.
Xiao Wuzi said: "No one is needed to lead the way. You tell me the specific location and I will find it myself."
Lao Zhao really couldn't spare anyone. His team was being reorganized and it was a very busy time.
Xiao Wuzi also left Bayin behind. He could help to some extent. Then, Xiao Wuzi rode on his horse alone. He only brought the intelligence and the report written by Lao Zhao. Everything else was left here. . Target, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei headquarters.
Xiao Wuzi did not enter the city when he passed through Peiping. Normally, young people would definitely go and see what a big city is like when they arrive in the capital. But Xiao Wuzi was different. He was a little resistant to big cities in his heart. He didn't know why.
When Xiaowuzi walked around Beiping City and saw the rolling green mountains, he suddenly found a mixed team of Japanese and puppet soldiers in the distance escorting a dozen people with their hands tied behind their backs towards the mountains. Behind them, there were adventurers burning village with black smoke.
