Chapter 64: Linked Strategy (3)

  Chapter 64: Linked Strategy (3)

  Japanese officers had never encountered such a stubborn Chinese army, and they were not confident at all; however, the superior order required that the people who escaped from Beidaying must be brought back to the South Manchurian Railway Company, and to achieve this requirement, they had to gather all their strength, and there was no other way.

  A Japanese officer waved his hand, and the orderly continuously fired two red signal flares. By then, all the Japanese soldiers monitoring and intercepting the Northern University Camp had gathered in this wilderness to confront each other for the protection of Chang San and others.

  Huang Yihu saw the last strength of Japan arrive; (In fact, there were only about ten cars coming from east and west, with a total of no more than two hundred people) He ordered the signaler to immediately fire three green signal flares. Watching the signal flares rise into the air, Huang Yifei was delighted in his heart: The first step of "borrowing a tiger's might" had succeeded; Now it all depends on whether Iron Lady can lead several thousand horses and men to safely evade the surveillance of the Japanese!

  In the remaining time, Wang Changtiger arranged his troops to surround all Japanese and Zhang Sanquan, especially in the east and west directions, not allowing anyone to enter or exit!

  Half an hour later, a horseshoe sound came from the direction of Beida Camp: Dada... dada... dada...

  A war horse ran to Huang Yifei's front and said: "The Northern Camp is now unstable, the commander ordered you to return quickly, no mistake."

  Huang Yifei pointed at Chang San and said: "What about that traitor?"

  The mounted orderly replied, "The commander said that the monkey can't escape from the Buddha's palm! First let him jump around for a few days, after a few days he won't be able to do it anymore!"

  Huang Yifei nodded and shouted: "Chang San, I have something to do today, let's get excited another day." He turned his head and shouted: "Let's go, I don't have time to bother with them." After finishing speaking, he led the team to run towards Beida Camp without looking back.

  Japanese officers, Chang San and Zhang Lin let out a sigh of relief at the same time, both feeling as if they had narrowly escaped disaster.

  Chang San often saw Zhang Lin's tone was still understandable, but why were the Japanese officers so arrogant? He left a thought in his mind.

  Zhang Lin saw Chang San's miserable appearance and felt a sense of relief in his heart. He asked Chang San, "What are your plans for the future, Brother Chang?"

  Chang San sighed and said: "The world is so big, there's nowhere to go!"

  Zhang Lin asked in confusion: "Didn't you just say you were going to Qinglong Mountain?"

  Chang San smiled bitterly and said: "The defeat of the Northern Camp was my doing, now I don't have the face to go back and see the two battalion commanders, I don't want to go back and be scolded to death."

  "What about these brothers then?"

  "Whatever, I'm out of here! Do whatever you want, I don't care anymore!"

  Zhang Lin looked at Chang San with a mix of anger and hatred in his heart. If Chang San was useless, Zhang Lin wouldn't have bothered to deal with him. But Chang San happened to hold a power that was hard to resist - the intelligence network of General Guo.

  This intelligence network has been secretly lurking and has never acted; this is also one of the main reasons why Zhang Huamin calculated Wang Changtiger, and Wang Changtiger did not get any intelligence; another major reason is that Chang San was a bit too confident, naively thinking that he had helped the old troops a lot, and the old troops would surely return to Beida Camp with great joy and start anew.

  Who would have thought that this piece of fat meat has been eyed by many people, and even Chang San himself has changed his faith and joined the Communist Party. Four years can really change a lot of people!

  Zhang Lin rubbed his words and said: "Don't you ever think of avenging your dead brother?"

  Chang San thought of Commissar Deng and looked at Zhang Lin, replying: "Of course I want to, but now I only have a strong body, not even a gun, how can I take revenge?"

  Zhang Lin patted Chang San's shoulder and said, "The gun is no problem, as long as you have this idea, my uncle has a batch of weapons in the Japanese railway guard team. You organize these remaining brothers, go to the local area to arm them, and you can immediately go find trouble with the Northern University Camp. Maybe you can even save some old brothers back! By the way, tell me how those brothers were killed?"

  Chang San glanced at Zhang Lin and recounted how they would be disarmed silently and colorlessly, and the slaughter that took place during the welcoming party.

  Zhang Lin frowned and asked Chang San a sentence: "Do you mean that our action this time has been discovered by someone, and they have made preparations in advance?"

  Chang San shook his head and said, "It's impossible; however, I was the deputy chief of staff there, in charge of some trivial matters, major events were not allowed to be handled by me; this Wang Changhu has some old brothers, he believes in these people, and doesn't believe in us at all; oh, right, this Wang Changhu is extremely lecherous, not very old with many wives...

  Zhang Lin coughed and thought to himself: I ask a question, you just answer one sentence, why so much nonsense! Hmm, he said Wang Changhu is lecherous, this is a good breakthrough!

  Zhang Lin asked: "You say Wang Changhu is very lustful?"

  Chang San nodded and said: "Yes!"

  "Does he have any requirements for women? For example, nationality?"

  Chang San shook his head and said: "I've never heard of it, it seems that as long as she's a woman, it's okay. I've also heard that he's been with more than one sixty-year-old old lady!"

  The rebels next door were all in a difficult situation, squatting on the ground and shouting: "Oh my stomach hurts; oh my feet hurt..."

  Zhang Lin looked and asked Chang San: "What's wrong with them?"

  "Still, it's all because of me. I haven't eaten for a whole day and was forced to stand all night, what a crime!"

  Zhang Lin hastily contacted the Japanese military officer and first let these mutineers be stationed in the barracks of the Japanese railway guard, and then figured out a way after dinner.

  These people followed Zhang Lin and the Japanese to the end, and Chang San observed these Japanese soldiers while walking: The military appearance of these Japanese soldiers was still quite neat, but there were too many small movements, such as loose leg bindings; some carried their guns on their backs very casually: some on their shoulders, some slung diagonally, and others held them in their hands, anyway, all kinds of postures existed, compared to the elite Japanese soldiers, the difference was too great.

  Chang San approached Zhang Lin and asked: "Are these Japanese soldiers?"

  "Ha! You've finally figured it out," Zhang Lin said with a big laugh. Lowering his voice, he continued, "These people are just a bunch of Japanese rascals, thieves, and hoodlums, completely here to intimidate us!"

  Chang San said: "Fake! Where did the real ones go?"

  Zhang Lin said: "I'm going into the mountains, but I can't tell you what I'm doing, and don't ask!"

  After sitting for about half an hour, they arrived at the garrison of the Japanese defense team. Zhang Lin was busy back and forth like a host, helping these soldiers arrange their accommodation. After finishing, he found Chang San and handed him a cigarette, saying: "How come all these brothers are from Deng Shihua's regiment? Not one from my uncle's regiment?"

  Chang San rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the nerve to say that. Your uncle's team had dozens of brothers who rioted and implicated all the brothers in the entire team. I was even beaten half to death! Tomorrow morning you'll see all the brothers!"

  "Why?" Zhang Lin asked.

  "Tomorrow morning, all the brothers in Beida Camp were taken to Shenyang Prison. Didn't you see that?" Chang San said with a bad tone.

  Zhang Lin furrowed his brow and said "oh" as he spoke to Chang San, "I'm going out for a bit. You take care of these brothers and don't let them run wild!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.

  It wasn't long before Zhang Lin came back, holding a letter in his hand, and said to Chang San: "I told my uncle about your situation, and he wants you to stay here for a few days. After this storm passes, he'll send someone to pick you up and take you back. I'm really sorry, Brother Chang San."

  Chang San let out a sigh and said, "A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, what else can I choose? However, living here makes me feel uncomfortable. Although General Guo has left, his teachings still linger in my mind; as for the Japanese, I don't have a good impression of them. Tell Uncle to hurry up and pick us up, I can barely last a day."

  Zhang Lin's face turned red with anger upon hearing what Chang San said, and he covered it up by saying: "My uncle is going to avenge Commander Deng in the next few days, please be patient!"

  Chang San suddenly jumped up and asked: "What's wrong with Comrade Deng?"

  Zhang Lin said with a heavy heart: "Just yesterday, my uncle and Commander Deng invited Iron Girl to dinner. Unexpectedly, they had a dispute at the dinner table with Iron Girl, and things escalated into physical confrontation. Commander Deng was secretly injured, and after returning home, he coughed up blood nonstop and died of his injuries..."

  Chang San's eyes moistened and he asked: "Did Commander Deng leave any words behind?"

  Zhang Lin wiped the corner of his eye and said, "Captain Deng asked me to help him take care of his troops and territory, and avenge him. Tomorrow morning, my uncle will be able to avenge Captain Deng's enemy - Iron Lady!"

  Chang San-yi listened and was shocked in his heart; he hastily asked: "What time will we launch the attack?"

  Zhang Lin looked at Chang San with a puzzled expression and asked: "What's this?"

  Chang San hastily covered up and said: "I will avenge Commander Deng personally!"

  "Never mind! The attack started at 5 o'clock this morning, and now it's already past 10. We can't make it back in time if we go now, so you'd better rest!"

  Chang San muttered to himself after calculating the time, thinking that Tie Niangzi leading the nearly 4,000-strong special operations team would arrive at Fenghuang Mountain on time. He sat down on the edge of the bed and mumbled: "Tie Niangzi got off cheap!"
