"Look, we just need to walk thirty miles from here past the cattle and horse farm."
"Cattle and horse farm? The imperial army often goes there, so it's not safe."
"Then how do you go?"
"Let's go to the old graveyard. Where would the imperial army go there?"
"Yes, yes, the old graveyard is good, the old graveyard is good."
"Don't make a mess, don't make a mess. It's so noisy, can you hear me clearly? Where's the pen and the paper? They're a bunch of rubbish. What's the use of just talking? You have to draw it carefully, right? Sir, look, The boss is right. As for you, just take the others and it is safest to go to the old graveyard. After passing here, you can go east."
Fan Changliang carefully drew the route on the paper and explained it clearly.
A large number of puppet troops were talking to each other on the side, and they were all afraid that Meng Shaoyuan would encounter the "imperial army" on the way and that something unexpected would happen.
"Xiao Zhong, where are the cigarettes? Bosses please smoke."
"Hey." Xiao Zhong quickly took out a cigarette and stuffed it into the hand of a puppet soldier: "Boss, help me distribute it."
"Oh, that's so polite, that's so polite."
The puppet army smiled happily.
There, Xiang Yan could see clearly.
How could this military commander be able to get into a fierce fight with these puppet troops in the blink of an eye?
Incredible.
Meng Shaoyuan looked around.
He only has one thing on his mind right now:
Mr. Xing, thank you!
Who would have thought that your movie could actually save me in this day and age?
I wish you that every movie you make will be a box office hit from now on, and every one of your movies will exceed 10 billion!
It's a pity that I can never watch your movies again...
…
"Don't shoot, I surrender!"
Ten minutes ago.
"Xiao Zhong, give me what's in the bag!"
Meng Shaoyuan stood up with his hands raised, and then walked out of the hiding place.
The puppet troops outside looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, with black holes in their muzzles, and they would shoot if they were not careful.
"Etc., etc!"
Fan Changliang, the commander of the puppet army, had sharp eyesight and hurriedly told his men not to act impulsively.
He saw clearly what the person who came out was holding.
That is……
Gold bars and money!
Five gold bars, two stacks of Japanese yen and French currency!
"Gun down, gun down."
Just as he was talking, Meng Shaoyuan came in front of him: "Boss, those who escaped from Wuhan will buy a way out of you."
Fan Changliang stared at the gold bars and money: "The surname is Communist, or the surname is Guo?"
"Surname Guo."
"In plainclothes?"
"Plain clothes, how dare you come here in military uniform?"
Fan Changliang's heart was clear.
Is it possible that he is an ordinary person who dares to appear here at this time?
Those who came were either from the military command, the Central Command, or from the guerrillas of the Workers' and Peasants' Party.
As soon as he heard that the other party's surname was "Guo", Fan Changliang immediately felt a little closer to him. He was also a member of the National Army.
Meng Shaoyuan took the opportunity to stuff gold bars and money into Fan Changliang's pockets: "Boss, it's convenient for me to give way."
"This is a matter of losing your head." Fan Changliang did not dare to be careless: "Who are you following behind?"
If all the wanted criminals of the Japanese are released, it will be troublesome in the future.
"child!"
"Child?" Fan Changliang was startled.
Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand.
As soon as Li Zhifeng and others came out, the puppet soldiers who had just put down their guns quickly raised their guns again as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
It’s really a large group of children!
But……
Good guy, ten big guys, all with their guys.
There are also several flower traps.
"Boss, don't panic." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "You have also seen that my men are all armed with weapons, submachine guns, Jilaike, and five grenades each. But these are not prepared for you brothers. The Japanese use it desperately.”
Upon hearing "Zilaide", Fan Changliang no longer had any doubts about Meng Shaoyuan's identity.
There are all kinds of shell guns, box guns, mirror boxes, etc., but the official name of the Mauser pistol in China, especially in the national army, is "Zilaide"!
Although Meng Shaoyuan downplayed it, it also contained a threat.
If there had been a fight just now, these puppet troops might not be their opponents.
It is so well-armed that the National Army's Rangers will not go deep here. I'm afraid it belongs to the military command, and its background is not small. Fan Changliang made a quick judgment in his mind.
It's okay if you offend other people, but offend the military commander?
If one of them escapes today, there will be endless troubles.
I still have my family behind me. These military commanders are ruthless. What can't they do? When the time comes to seize the opportunity to surrender, it is possible to wipe out your entire family.
You have to leave yourself a way out, right?
Meng Shaoyuan struck while the iron was hot: "Brother, I won't hide it from you at this time. Have you seen that child? His father was Wu Zhikuan, the commander of the second company of the second battalion of the Wuhan Military Police Regiment. He was killed in action, leaving only such a single seedling. It happened to be The International Red Cross saved those two foreign girls, but they didn’t know how to contact the National Government, so Shangfeng gave me this task and told me to bring these children back safely.”
After saying that, he shouted: "Li Zhifeng!"
"arrive!"
"Tell me, Captain Fan, what was your original job?"
"Commander of the First Corps Guard Corps!"
Fan Changliang took a breath of air.
Xue Yue’s people?
"Xue Yue has been alarmed." Meng Shaoyuan whispered: "Xue Yue lent me his guard regiment. Brother, although the Japanese have the upper hand at the moment, it is hard to say in the future. In case the situation changes, Wouldn't it be good for you to sell friendship to Xue Yue?"
Fan Changliang nodded slightly and no longer hesitated: "Sir, I won't ask who you are, and don't tell me your name. This will save everyone from trouble in the future. If you are an important person today, I will definitely not dare to let you go. , but these children? Hey, these children may not necessarily go to the battlefield, right? If I make things difficult for these children, am I still considered a person? "
…
Meng Shaoyuan and the children are temporarily safe.
"The puppet soldiers there often complain there, and the supplies delivered are always inconsistent. Many times they have to find their own solutions."
When Xiang Yan told this, Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about what to do if he met Fan Changliang.
Of course, some of the puppet troops were dedicated to serving the Japanese, but those stationed in small counties like Linshan County were all miscellaneous troops.
Grandma doesn't love my uncle.
It’s not necessarily a matter of letting them risk their lives with you.
Five gold bars and two stacks of money were an urgent need for Fan Changliang.
Meng Shaoyuan used money and notes to completely win over these puppet soldiers who did not want to risk their lives in the first place.
Fan Changliang and his people not only showed them the way, but actually escorted them for a while.
This can be regarded as one of the great wonders in the world.
"Sir, if you go a little further, you will be out of my defense zone. I can only send you here. In front of you, there are guerrillas from the Fourth Route Army operating there. That man's name is Xiang Yan, and he is also a guerrilla from the Fourth Route Army. In the team.”
Fan Changliang deliberately pulled Meng Shaoyuan behind the team: "He sent people to deal with me several times, just to drag me over, but I didn't agree and fought with them several times. Sir, when you get to their territory, be careful. , they are very good at their work.”
"Are you worried that I will be pulled over by them?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly sighed: "Captain Fan, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I have been shot several times by the top of the mountain, but they were all to scare me. As for me, I am greedy for money, lustful, and unscrupulous in doing things. If I really get past this, I will be shot for real sooner or later."
After saying that, he lowered his voice: "Captain Fan, listen to me again. The Japanese will be finished sooner or later. Brother, I promise you this by patting my chest. You can't do it wearing this kind of skin. You need to leave more roads. The Fourth Route Army will come." You don't have to agree to pull you, but you can turn a blind eye. For example, if they want to borrow a road from you, lend it to them. The Japanese want you to fight. If you raise the muzzle of your gun, when the Japanese run away in the future, You can’t go to Japan with them, right?”
Then, he added a special sentence: "Whether the surname is Communist or the surname is Guo, everyone is Chinese."
"Sir, I take your words to heart." Fan Changliang cupped his hands: "Sir, I will send you here. You will reach Huangshi if you go. We are destined to meet again."
"Goodbye, Captain Fan!"
…
No one thought that Meng Shaoyuan would escape in this way.
These children have been exhausted from running around for days.
Meng Shaoyuan saw this and found a small village for the children to rest. He first politely asked Xiang Yan to contact the nearby Fourth Route Army guerrillas. After he left, he called Xiao Zhong and asked him to contact him immediately. Huangshi Detachment of the Loyalty and Salvation Army.
Immediately, he called Li Zhifeng over again: "Go and see how many entrances there are in this village. They are all blocked by me. You can only enter, but not leave!"
The exhausted children ate something and fell asleep one after another.
"Poor children." Sophia came to Meng Shaoyuan's side: "There is still a long way to go. I'm really afraid that they won't be able to persevere."
"They will grow up, they are already growing up." Meng Shaoyuan said silently: "In the past, they were at home, with their father doting on their mother and loving them. No one knew the hardships outside. But you see, when they arrived in Shanghai, the absolute majority of them Most people will grow out of it.”
"Meng, I always thought you were not a good person." Sophia actually took the initiative to hold Meng Shaoyuan's hand: "But in fact, you are a very kind person."
kind person?
Meng Shaoyuan's other hand suddenly made a small movement, but a moment later, District Chief Meng's screams were heard: "It hurts, it hurts, please be gentle, be gentle."
"Report!"
Li Zhifeng rushed in uninterested.
Meng Shaoyuan quickly sat upright: "What's the matter?"
"Bao Anxi, captain of the Huangshi detachment of the Loyalty and Salvation Army, is here."
"Please!"
As soon as Bao Anxi came in, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Who is Mr. Zhu?"
Congratulations sir?
Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "It's me!"
Bao Anxi saluted: "I just received a telegram from Shanghai. Mr. Zhu, an important figure in our military command, passed by Huangshi and asked for full assistance from our Huangshi detachment. Mr. Zhu, I brought twenty-five people, all of whom are capable of fighting." . I will take you all the way to Hefei. When you get to Hefei, there will be a team to pick you up."
When they arrived in Hefei, the people sent by Wu Jingyi were probably already waiting there.
Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
