After a lot of trouble, Yu Chenglong led his people to find a secret camp of Commander Xiao's Central Route Army. Yu Chenglong ran over first, wanting to know the situation here as soon as possible.
However, there were only six brothers who escaped in this camp, and three of them were injured. However, Commander Yang, Commander Xiao, Captain Xiao and other brothers were not seen at all.
Although he came to the secret camp of the Central Route Army, he did not see the shadow of the main leaders such as Commander Yang, Commander of the Navy and Commander Xiao, which made Yu Chenglong very anxious.
"Where are Commander Yang, Captain Yang, and Commander Xiao now?"
"We don't know. The commander-in-chief ordered us to disperse and retreat. We don't know which direction they retreated to. The commander-in-chief, Commander Xiao, and the navy commander were the last to withdraw."
A brother answered Yu Chenglong's inquiry, which made Yu Chenglong even more anxious. Tianyaoling was captured and most of the brothers died in the battle. Will the commander-in-chief and the others be in danger?
"Go quickly and lead my people to the secret camps to inquire if there is any news about the commander-in-chief and them."
Yu Chenglong asked the three uninjured brothers to take people to inquire, and to return as soon as possible to report the results. After sending them away, Yu Chenglong asked the three injured brothers again.
"How are your injuries? How many people from your center army have withdrawn?"
"Our injuries are not serious. How can we evacuate our seriously injured brothers? They have all died in the battle. The Japanese will kill anyone who has a bad temper."
About thirty brothers from our Central Army retreated to the secret camp, and most of the rest died in the battle. How miserable! Especially our Commander Xiao, there is still no news yet. "
An injured brother answered Yu Chenglong's inquiry, which made Yu Chenglong feel very heavy. Of course, he was more worried about Xiao Sanyi and prayed that nothing would happen to her.
Yu Chenglong walked out of the secret camp and took a look at the mountain topography and the settings of the secret camp. When he returned, the brothers who were sent out to inquire about the commander-in-chief also came back one after another.
These brothers who went to inquire about the news also brought two battalion commanders under Commander Xiao. Yu Chenglong knew both of them. One was named Yu and was from the same family as him, and the other was named Pang.
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Commander-in-Chief and the others?"
"Reporting to Commander Yu, we don't know yet. The Commander-in-Chief, Navy Commander, and Commander Xiao all evacuated together. They were protected by more than 20 brothers. We don't know exactly where they evacuated.
But what is certain is that they did not retreat towards our secret camp. Commander Xiao told us to retreat to the secret camp and hide, and she would send someone to contact us. "
Battalion Commander Yu reported to Yu Chenglong what he had learned. Yu Chenglong seemed to understand somewhat. The commander-in-chief, the navy captain, and Xiao Sanyi retreated in other directions.
This is to protect the retreating brothers from safely evacuating to the secret camp, but they are likely to have to evacuate outside the mountains.
Its purpose is also to lure the Japanese out of the mountain to ensure the safety of the brothers in the mountain. In addition, it is also because there is no other place to go unless we evacuate outside the mountains, and there is no way to solve the food problem in other places.
"Do you know the secret camp of the Navy Captain and his left army?"
Yu Chenglong continued to ask about the situation. At this time, Battalion Commander Yu called a brother named Xu Mancang over.
"A brother has just contacted us from there. The secret camp of the Left Route Army is more than a day's journey from here. It's this brother. His name is Xu Mancang."
"Reporting to Commander Yu, I have just returned from the secret camp of the Navy Commander and others, and I was sent to lead them. There is no news from the Commander-in-Chief, Navy Commander, or Commander Xiao.
Now there are less than thirty people left there. Among them, two battalion commanders and one are injured. Seven or eight brothers are also slightly injured. The report is completed! "
Xu Mancang stood at attention and saluted. After hearing this, Yu Chenglong pondered for a while. He felt that it was difficult to know the news about the commander-in-chief, the navy captain, and Xiao Sanyi.
However, in the process of tracking the Japanese team, we only found traces of one small-scale battle. It was probably the encounter between the brothers who were responsible for covering the commander-in-chief and his brothers and the little Japanese.
Since then, no traces of fighting have been found, which shows that the commander-in-chief and the others are out of danger under the desperate cover of their brothers.
Although we still don’t know where the Commander-in-Chief and the others are now, it is estimated that their lives are not in danger. The top priority now is to appease the brothers in the secret camp.
"Until Commander Xiao comes back, your secret camp is temporarily in charge of the battalion commander and assisted by battalion commander Pang. Let the brothers spread out and hide, and not all gather together, just in case.
You, a group of three or five people, are not allowed to leave the secret camp at ordinary times. You have to hide here throughout the winter and are not allowed to go out of the mountain, otherwise military law will be enforced.
Go and tell the secret camp brothers of the Navy Commander Zuo Route Army to do the same thing. I will be responsible for finding out the information about the commander-in-chief, navy commander, and commander Xiao. You will stay in the secret camp and wait for orders.
I will send someone to bring you some food in a few days. You are not allowed to leave the secret camp to find food privately. Do you understand this clearly? Orders must be strictly followed! "
"Listen clearly and resolutely carry out Commander Yu's orders!"
Everyone present responded in unison, indicating that they obeyed Jackie Chan's arrangements. Yu Chenglong then introduced the current situation to the brothers to stabilize their mood.
“Although our Manchuria Liberation Army suffered heavy losses, the commander-in-chief is still there, the navy commander, Commander Xiao and I are still there, and our foundation is still there.
This time I went down the mountain and robbed a large amount of food from the Japs, enough for us to eat for several years. This is the capital we can use to fight the Japs to the end.
We must tell our brothers to firm up their beliefs. Sooner or later, little Japan will be driven away by us. We must be full of confidence, continue to train our troops, and prepare to fight against the little Japanese again when spring comes next year!
We want to avenge our brothers in the Liberation Army who died in the battle, and avenge our fellow citizens! I'll leave for now. Brothers, please take care of yourself. Goodbye! "
After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, he shook hands with the brothers in the secret camp one by one and said goodbye, leading the brothers from the right route army to leave the secret camp of Commander Xiao and his middle route army.
Yu Chenglong and his brothers did not go looking for news about the commander-in-chief and the others, but returned directly to their own secret camp that had been built.
After returning to the secret camp, Yu Chenglong sent someone to find Hua Mama, told her what happened in the mountains, and asked her to try to find out the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief and others.
At the same time, all secret contact points and undercover agents were notified to strictly lurk, minimize their activities, and wait for instructions from the mountain.
Yu Chenglong estimated that the commander-in-chief, Commander Xiao, and the navy commander would not be able to return to the mountains this winter. At most, they would send people to deliver news of their safety to the mountains and give necessary instructions.
The Manchurian Liberation Army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Nearly two-thirds of the brothers were killed. It will take time to recover. Moreover, it is winter, which is not conducive for the team to go out to fight, so they can only hide in secret.
