Inside the Soviet Consulate in Hecheng, Ivanov was filled with excitement. He even saw the spirit of a fighting nation in Ye Anran.
The first time I met Ye Anran was when Ma Jinshan recommended him to Suzuki Fuliang as the vice chairman of the Black Province.
The first impression Ye Anran gave him was that he was young and energetic, with arrogance in his bones, like an inexperienced playboy.
After meeting today, Ivanov changed his view of Ye Anran.
Today, General Zhang lives in Peiping and serves as the acting chairman of the Peiping Military Commission. He can be said to have peace of mind.
The fall of the three northeastern provinces seems to be a foregone conclusion.
It is rare that there are patriotic generals like Ma Jinshan and Ye Anran in the precarious Hecheng.
There is also a group of patriot soldiers who follow them and look forward to death.
Ivanov gave Ye Anran a military salute.
He said very solemnly: "Please rest assured, Vice Chairman Ye, I will convey your words to General Gallen verbatim."
"You have an old saying in China: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."
"Once the three northeastern provinces fall, the Japanese will definitely covet the Soviet Far East."
"For the safety of the residents of our bilateral countries, I will take your words as my top priority after returning home and report to General Gallen and Moscow."
Ye Anran was very moved.
After returning the military salute to Ivanov, he said: "Please pack your things tonight. Tomorrow the provincial government will arrange a special train to Heihe, and we will send a platoon of soldiers to escort you to Heihe."
"Vice Chairman Ye, thank you for taking care of the Soviet Consulate in Hecheng. From now on, we will be friends."
"After the war, you are welcome to drink in Moscow!"
"I will definitely go, but forget about drinking."
Ye Anran didn't think he could drink better than Ivanov...
After bidding farewell to Ivanov, Ye Anran walked out of the consulate gate. The eyes of the Soviet soldiers at the door lit up, and then they saluted him.
Ye Anran led the army horse and walked on the way back to the provincial capital.
Along the way, many soldiers digging traffic trenches would stand up and salute when they saw him.
The common people who participated in digging the traffic trenches would also greet Ye Anran warmly.
Ye Anran stayed in front of the provincial government office for half a minute, and Ma Jinhai rushed out of the office building.
He saw Ye Anran stroking his bristled hair, "Brother, where have you been?"
"I've been looking for you in Crane City for a long time."
"Can I help you?"
Ye Anran thought about going to Angang River and Sanjianfang area to inspect the progress of the bunker and parapet.
As soon as he got on the military horse, he was stopped by Ma Jinhai.
"Big brother is waiting for you in the office."
Ye Anran glanced towards the second floor. The lights were on in his eldest brother's room, and someone was standing by the window staring at him...
It's scary enough.
Ye Anran dismounted and followed Ma Jinhai into the provincial government building.
When he arrived in the room, Ma Jinshan, who was facing the window, turned around and looked at Ye Anran.
Xie Ke sat on the sofa and stood up when he saw Ye Anran.
"Brother, Chief of Staff."
"What's wrong?"
Ma Jinshan was filled with bitterness, "Brother, you made us a plague patient and even made it into the newspaper. Isn't this just causing trouble for yourself?"
"There's so much work outside, we can't let you do it alone!"
Ye Anran was stunned for a moment, is that all? !
He looked at Ma Jinhai. When he asked him to come into the house just now, his face was as white as white flour.
It really startled him.
Ma Jinhai knew he was in the wrong, so he took half a step back, found a corner and sat down...
Well, he is indeed the second brother.
As the saying goes, the second child is always the most laid-back person in the family. If the sky falls, the boss will take care of it, while the third child will handle the bigger things.
"Brother, is this all?"
"If you have nothing else to do, I'll go to the front line and see how the parapets and bunkers are being prepared."
Ma Jinshan: "Something happened. Some foreign devils came to the gate and wanted to see the person who talked about the matter in Hecheng."
"what's the situation?"
"The commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shige, called and expressed his condolences about my infection with the plague."
"Said he sent an epidemic prevention and health team to Crane City to help us find the source of the plague."
"They also said they have special medicine."
"You can give it to the people and help the people of Hecheng get out of danger as soon as possible."
Ma Jinshan was aggrieved.
Ye Anran's idea is indeed a good one, it can delay the Japanese for a while.
But those bastards are not fools either.
Now, the lingering effects of rumors of the plague are just beginning to show themselves.
Ye Anran looked at Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke. Their expressions were as ugly as sweet potatoes.
Most of the reason for this was that he and Ma Jinshan were the ones who caused trouble.
If it were anyone else, he would probably be scolded or beaten right now!
Xie Ke: "Brother Ye, it was written in your newspaper that Chairman Ma is ill and it is not convenient for him to see people."
"Look at this..."
As Ma Jinshan's chief of staff, Xie Ke stepped forward very promptly to help him out.
Ye Anran suddenly felt that there was a lot of quarrel between the brothers.
He interrupted Xie Ke, "Brother, Chief of Staff Xie, I'm going to meet the foreigners at the door."
"I will report to you if there is any news."
Ma Jinshan: "Ask Xie Ke to go with you. If that doesn't work, capture them and bury them alive!"
Ye Anran felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Although the eldest brother is angry, he will still stand with him in the end.
Maybe these are brothers?
Ye Anran left his eldest brother's office and asked Ma Jinhai to drive.
Taking advantage of his free time, he called Zhao Fangyu of Dongxing Hospital and asked him to temporarily act as a director to dress up the people and soldiers digging traffic trenches on the road.
After explaining this, Ye Anran made another call to Dazhong Daily.
Tell the president Wang Qinghai to find a few girls who know how to put on makeup and go to the traffic trench near the city gate to help put on the people and soldiers with shocking makeup.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Anran relaxed a lot. His status as the vice chairman of the Black Province saved him a lot of scheduling trouble.
After about a few minutes, Ma Jinhai's prepared car parked at the gate of the provincial capital.
Ye Anran went out with Xie Ke. Before leaving, he called Li Yukui, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Shadow Regiment.
A cavalry platoon was called in to act as a guard.
The group of people followed the car and headed straight to the gate of Crane City.
Since the martial law was imposed in Hecheng, six heavy machine guns have been placed at the city gate, and there are soldiers patrolling the city gate tower at all times.
Searchlights shone on the road in front of the city gate, bright as day.
A black car and two military trucks were parked under the city gate.
Some of them were wearing military uniforms, and some were wearing white coats and masks.
An indistinguishable man or woman stood at the front of the team, with his head held high and chest raised, his eyes full of murderous intent, staring at the machine gunner on the city gate tower who was aiming at it.
Two meters away in front of him stood several city defense soldiers from the Northeast Army's City Defense Regiment.
They lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly and kept their fingers on the trigger.
The order they received was that no one was allowed to enter the city without permission, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed!
Facing more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, they refused to give in! !
"idiot!"
"A bunch of Chinese pigs dare to keep the locust army outside the city gate for so long, you will die!"
The Japanese officer angrily pointed at the defenders of the first city defense regiment and lectured.
The garrison captain then raised his gun and responded to the Japanese officer: "Eight your grandma's legs!!"
"If you curse again, I will kill you!"
Snapped!
When the squad leader lost his temper, he lowered his gun and pulled the trigger with his finger.
The warhead hit the Japanese officer's left foot with a bang...
The Japanese officer was so frightened that he took several steps back.
The Japs behind him raised their guns with a clatter!
As they raised their guns, the sound of several heavy machine gunners pulling the triggers of their guns was heard in the silent night sky...
