When we arrived at the county town, the battle on the city wall had ended. There were only a dozen soldiers cleaning the battlefield, while other troops spread out to clean up the Japanese everywhere in the county town.
As soon as Li Qiufan and others stood still, figures came out of the darkness around them.
The leader was holding a head in his hand, which was still dripping with blood.
Seeing someone coming over, Zhao Gang and Ji Zi immediately pulled out their guns, while Heizi directly pulled Li Qiufan behind them.
"If you're nervous, put down your guns and stay with us!"
Li Qiufan pulled Heizi's hand away, walked out from behind him, and said to Zhao Gang and Su Shi.
"One of our own?"
Zhao Gang frowned and looked at Li Qiufan, but put down the gun in his hand.
Although he was a little confused, he still believed in Li Qiufan.
While the two were talking, those figures had already come closer. Zhao Gang squinted his eyes and saw that the leader turned out to be a monk.
"Master, the mission is accomplished, but two brothers died."
The monk raised the head in front of Li Qiufan. It was a Japanese man with a mustache.
"Qiu Fan, who is this head? And what happened to the monks and the others?"
Zhao Gang looked at the head in the monk's hand, then at the monk and the people behind him, and asked Li Qiufan in confusion.
"Haha, this head is the highest commander of the devils in the county. As for the monks, I sent them to lurk in."
Li Qiufan explained to Zhao Gang, and then looked at the monk.
"You did a good job, you didn't let me down! Cremate the bodies of those two brothers and take them home after the war!"
Li Qiufan looked at the monk and the twenty-nine people behind him, and nodded with satisfaction.
He did not doubt that the head belonged to the Japanese commander, because the monk would not lie to him.
The monk and his companions completed their mission very well this time, opening the city gate and assassinating them. The only regret was that they sacrificed two soldiers, but in war, people will die, and no one can change this.
"Go and collect the bodies of those two brothers, and then come back to me!"
Li Qiufan took the Japs head from the monk's hand, kicked it far away, then patted the monk on the shoulder and said.
The monk nodded, then left in one direction with the soldiers behind him.
"Qiu Fan, why have you taken the monks and the others into the mountains for two months? Why do I feel that there is something different about this group of people?"
Zhao Gang frowned and looked at the backs of the monk and others. This group of people gave him a different feeling, which he couldn't describe yet.
"It's nothing, just hunting and grilling skewers, or just running in the woods."
Li Qiufan shook his head and did not tell Zhao Gang the truth. The less people know about Monk and the others, the better, and he will try his best to make this group of people disappear from everyone's sight in the future.
Seeing that Li Qiufan didn't want to say more, Zhao Gang didn't ask again, but he remembered the matter in his heart and decided to find time to find out.
The cleaning battle did not last long, and the scattered gunfire soon stopped.
Erhu was arranging the signal troops to notify the troops to assemble, and Li Qiufan also sent people to bring in the troops outside the city.
The Japs in the county had been wiped out, and the subsequent pacification work was left to Zhao Gang, while Li Qiufan went to find a monk and the others alone.
"Is it dangerous?"
Li Qiufan found the monk and others in a corner. He walked to the monk and asked.
"Dangerous, almost died. One of these two brothers died trying to save me."
The monk nodded towards Li Qiufan, pointed to one of the people lying on the ground and said.
"The road in the future will be more dangerous than this time. Do you want to go back and be your captain?"
Li Qiufan followed the direction of the monk's finger, looked at the corpse, and asked without looking back.
"Teacher, I listen to you!"
The monk didn't think about it. He just said that he listened to Li Qiufan and he would carry out the orders given by Li Qiufan.
"No, listen to yourself this time!"
Li Qiufan shook his head and looked at the monk. At first, he was only interested in this man who had saved him several times because of the story about the sword.
But as time goes by, Li Qiufan has integrated himself into this place. He is a person in this world, and the monk is his brother, the brother who saved several of his lives.
He wanted to give the monk some autonomy, and he didn't want to force the monk to do something he didn't want to do.
"I no longer want to be the regiment leader, I want to be the division commander. The knife in your hand!"
The monk is not stupid. Although he doesn't know Li Qiufan's purpose of training this team, he knows the characteristics of this team.
This is a knife, a sharp knife that only belongs to Li Qiufan.
He could tell that Li Qiufan would need this knife and would do something for him in the future, but he was willing to do so.
"Call me brother from now on! Burn the bodies of these two brothers, collect the ashes, and bury them properly when you return!"
Li Qiufan squeezed the monk's shoulder, then turned and left.
The monk's eyes turned red as he looked at Li Qiufan's back. After taking a deep breath, he led others to move the firewood and cremate the body of the deceased brother.
After returning to the army, Li Qiufan ordered the troops to repair in the county while waiting for news from Li Yunlong.
"Qiu Fan, let's have something to eat!"
Li Qiufan, who was sitting on the ground looking at the moon, suddenly heard a voice, and it was a woman's voice, and it was very familiar.
"Tian Yu? Why did you come with me? Aren't you staying in Shanglin County?"
Li Qiufan followed the voice and saw that it was Tian Yu. Unexpectedly, she also came with the army.
"What, I'm not from the Independent Division? The entire Independent Division has left and I'm left here by myself?"
Tian Yu was a little angry when he heard Li Qiufan's words, and immediately pouted.
"Well, that's not what I meant. I meant that fighting is too dangerous. Why did you, a girl, follow you here?"
Li Qiufan scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling suddenly nervous when facing Tian Yu.
"I'm a nurse, not a flower vase. Shouldn't I follow you during the war?"
Tian Yu rolled his eyes at Li Qiufan, and then threw a sweet potato in his hand into his arms.
"What about that? This sweet potato looks pretty good, haha..."
Li Qiufan was embarrassed. He held up the bumpy sweet potato and praised it, smiling like a fool.
"snort!"
Tian Yu glanced at the sweet potato, snorted coldly, and sat down next to Li Qiufan.
"Tian Yu, I..."
"Brother! Big brother! It's not good! Something happened over there with Li Yunlong!"
Li Qiufan had just held back his breath and was about to apologize, when Heizi ran over shouting from a distance, holding a telegram in his hand.
"what happened?"
Li Qiufan stood up and went to greet you, asking you.
"Brother, see for yourself!"
Tired and out of breath, Heizi handed over the telegram, and Li Qiufan frowned and read it.
