It's too far away. In this early autumn season, it should have been a prosperous place with people coming and going, but it looked much bleaker because the steel plant was destroyed.
Regarding this matter, the devil who is accustomed to covering up the quilt can't cover it up even if he wants to!
After all, the steel plant is only a few kilometers away from the city. What happened there is impossible to escape from the eyes of the common people. Moreover, the huge blast furnace of tens of meters collapsed could be discovered even from two miles away. Faced with this situation, The Japanese simply admitted it and published a newspaper statement announcing that they had captured the main criminal Dong Jinbao, and strongly condemned this barbaric behavior of the Eighth Route Army.
The destruction of the steel plant is not a trivial matter. In the early stage, Lao Yan invested more than 200,000 yuan, and in the later period, the Japanese invested more than 100,000 yuan. In other words, almost 400,000 yuan was smashed into the steel plant, although it was not completely destroyed. , but it was really debilitating. Compared with the power outage some time ago, the damage this time was obviously greater, because the logistics support that the steel plant relied on was basically useless.
Money is what the devils need most right now. Some time ago, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent to repair the power supply and other damage. If the steel plant wants to resume production this time, it is obvious that there are not hundreds of thousands that cannot be spent.
However, the Japanese have no money either!
Multi-front operations have drained the Japanese treasury. They originally wanted to win a quick victory in China, and then divert a large amount of resources from here to assist other battlefields. However, instead of achieving victory, the battlefield in China was like a huge quagmire, and it was still dragging on. Nearly two million Japanese troops lived there.
After lunch, Miss Ji sat on the swing in the backyard, swinging while reading the newspaper.
The newspaper was from the morning. She had to practice shooting, so she didn't have time to read it. Now that she was free, she just happened to read it.
In the past few days, the newspapers were full of follow-up reports about the steel plant. For example, when she saw the news about the capture of Dong Jinbao, the leader of the Eighth Route Army, she immediately cast a scrutinizing look at Dong Jinbao beside her, "Dabao, you have been captured." Caught?"
Ever since Dong Jinbao returned to Ji Mansion alone, he has been in a state of confusion, like a living dead.
None of his comrades have come back. The pressure on him to live alone is not as great as usual. Now he can't even make explosives and barely eats. He is like a walking zombie all day long, following Ji numbly. The eldest lady practices shooting.
It took about half a minute for Dong Jinbao to regain his composure. He looked at Miss Ji who was swinging on the swing and said, "Miss, are you kidding me? I haven't gone out these days, how could I be caught?"
"But, the newspaper said you were arrested!" Ji Wushuang raised the newspaper in his hand, and then handed it to Dong Jinbao while waiting for the swing to swing over.
Dong Jinbao had memorized the newspaper, and without even looking for it, he saw the news of Dong Jinbao's capture on the front page, and it was accompanied by a blurry photo.
The photo looks like it was taken in a hospital. In the photo, Dong Jinbao is wrapped like a mummy. It’s impossible to tell who he is, but people who know Dong Jinbao can tell at a glance that it’s not Dong Jinbao.
Before he even finished reading the newspaper, his hands began to tremble, "This, this, this is Liangzi! It's Liangzi, he's not dead yet, he's not dead yet, what about the mouse? The mouse shouldn't be dead either, he should be digging now He buried himself in a hole, and he would not come out until it was safe. Yes, yes, they were not dead. Digging a hole. Digging a hole, yes, yes, he was digging a hole, just like last time, when it was safe. , if there are no enemies around, he will come out from the ground. Now is not the time." Dong Jinbao stammered and began to act incoherently, and he took the newspaper and planned to return to the laboratory to make explosives.
Miss Ji had been watching Dong Jinbao's movements, so when he was about to leave, she took advantage of the inertia of the swing and knocked Dong Jinbao to the ground with one kick.
It stands to reason that with Miss Ji's small arms and legs, it would be difficult for her to knock down a big man like Dong Jinbao even if she uses inertia. However, Dong Jinbao has hardly eaten these days and is still in a trance, so She can succeed with one blow.
Seeing Dong Jinbao fall to the ground, Miss Ji raised her pretty eyebrows, jumped off the swing, clapped her hands, and walked up to Dong Jinbao. She did not lower her head, but looked at him from the corner of her eyes. The fat man on the ground had contempt and disdain in his eyes, like an evil master teasing his slave.
"Dabao, where are you going?" Ji Wushuang's tone contained ridicule, pity, and a hint of sympathy.
Dong Jinbao stood up unsteadily, glanced at Miss Ji, and didn't get angry. He just pulled the dirt off his butt and said, "I'll go back and make something."
After taking two steps, he seemed to remember that his disguised identity seemed to be a master-servant relationship with Miss Ji, so he turned around and saluted Ji Wushuang, "I'm sorry, Miss, I want to save them!"
After he finished speaking, his pace quickened a few steps, but within a few steps he heard Ji Wushuang say, "How are you going to save them? Do you know where they are?"
Dong Jinbao stopped and said lightly, "I don't know!"
Yeah, I wonder where they are?
How can I save him?
What method to use to save.
Dong Jinbao knew that he was not as skilled as Shen Chunliang and Tu Hanqing. Although he was considered strong, he was only a little stronger than ordinary people. To put it bluntly, he might not even be able to defeat a powerful gangster.
A feeling of powerlessness came to his heart, which also made him calm down. He turned around and walked back to Ji Wushuang, "Sorry, Miss, I was impulsive!"
Ji Wushuang took the newspaper from his hand, pointed at the "mummy" on it and said, "Are you sure this person with the same rice dumplings is Brother Shen!"
"Confirm! This figure is unmistakable. I saw him like this two years ago. At that time, he was not the company commander. In order to deliver information, he rolled down the cliff. As a result, when the information was delivered, he had more than 20 spots on his body. Broken bones, he saved his life that time!" Dong Jinbao said calmly, as if describing a trivial matter.
Ji Wushuang felt pain after rolling down the cliff and suffering more than 20 fractures. He didn't expect that Shen Chunliang, who always looked like the big brother next door, with a smile on his face, would be such a heroic figure.
"That time. Did he make a meritorious service?"
After listening to Miss Ji's inquiry, Dong Jinbao's face finally changed. It was no longer numb, but filled with endless pride, "Second-class merit!"
"You were so seriously injured, why didn't you receive first-class merit?" Ji Wushuang asked.
Dong Jinbao forced a smile and said, "How can the Eighth Route Army military medals be so easy to obtain? If you can perform meritorious service if you are injured, then just go to the hospital to issue medals."
