Operation New Sea Lion Paris, I'm here (2)

  Zhou Tianlei and Long Meir pushed away the guards protecting them. They walked over to the dark figure beside the car that had crashed into theirs.

  Zhou Tianlei carefully looked at the black shadow lying on the ground, and saw that the black shadow was half-propped up on the ground, with a long, black hair covering its entire head.

  "Is this person a woman?" Long Mei'er asked the guards. "Have you checked her?"

  "The guard replied: 'Report to the general, we have checked her out. She is a woman and does not carry any weapons on her body. However, it is impossible to distinguish her nationality, and she is currently unconscious.'"

  Zhou Tianlei had already crouched down while the guard was speaking, and he flipped over the woman who had crashed into their car. When he first flipped her over, he was startled to see that the woman's oval face was covered in blood, and on her beautiful forehead, blood was still slowly flowing down.

  "Who brought the medical kit? Who brought the medical kit?"

  At this time, the cars of other German officers also stopped because Zhou Tianlei and Rommel's cars stopped. After hearing Zhou Tianlei's shout, a German soldier ran over from Lifenhoedshi and Kaiselin and said: "Sir, do you want a medical kit?"

  "Yes, hurry up and get some water." Zhou Tianlei shouted at another guard.

  After the water was brought over, Zhou Tianlei took a bandage and carefully wiped away the bloodstains on the woman's face after wetting it in the water. He also cleaned up the area around the wound. The German soldier who had brought the medical kit quickly treated the wound and then wrapped the bandage around the woman's head to secure it.

  It was probably the soldier's excessive strength that caused the woman to moan softly in Zhou Tianlei's arms and slowly come back to consciousness. When she opened her eyes, a group of men appeared vaguely before her. She felt as if she was being held in a man's arms. Thinking she had been caught up by those chasing her, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and slapped Zhou Tianlei's face.

  Zhou Tianlei was caught off guard and slapped in the face. Fortunately, the woman had just woken up and didn't have much strength in her hand, so it didn't hurt too much. However, the woman fainted again from swinging her arm and turning her head, which pulled on her wound.

  Although Zhou Tianlei was startled by the woman's slap, he still didn't throw her to the ground. He took a closer look at the woman and saw that after wiping away the blood on her face, she revealed a pale complexion, a slender neck, and shallow eye sockets. Zhou Tianlei knew that the woman was Asian. Looking further, the woman was wearing traditional Chinese clothing for women. However, it was unclear whether she had been fighting with others before meeting them, as the chest area of her clothes was torn open, revealing half of her full and white **.

  Zhou Tianlei asked a soldier to take off his clothes and cover the exposed parts of the woman's body. Seeing that the woman had not yet woken up, he stretched out his right hand to press the woman's Renzhong acupoint.

  She pinched herself a few times, and the woman finally woke up. This time she clearly saw that the people surrounding her and holding her were Europeans, and she had already been covered with a man's shirt.

  Zhou Tianlei saw the woman wake up and was about to ask her something when several men's shouts came from the alley.

  The woman, upon hearing the man's cry, instinctively hid in Zhou Tianlei's arms. Zhou Tianlei helped the woman up. He had already detected that the voice was speaking Japanese, although he couldn't understand what it meant.

  A few Japanese people walked out of the alley, and suddenly a strong smell of wine came towards Zhou Tianlei, several people stumbled over and walked over, with one person holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

  That person looked around and then saw the Asian woman leaning against Zhou Tianlei's station, and smiled: "Hana-chan, you've run all the way here, we've been looking for you everywhere (he said in Japanese, I'll translate it here)."

  Another person saw Zhou Tianlei and Rommel, as well as other German officers, because they were not wearing German military uniforms but rather civilian clothes, so the Japanese initially did not recognize their identities and thought they were ordinary French people.

  That man shouted in French: "You bunch of Frenchmen, get out of here quickly and don't interfere with our arrest of this flower girl, or we'll be rude to you."

  The German officers present who understood French translated the Japanese words. The German officers were furious upon hearing this. Although the Japanese had mistaken them for Frenchmen, they had told them to mind their own business and even went so far as to threaten them in the end. How could the German officers tolerate such an insult?

  That Asian woman already knew that Zhou Tianlei and the others had bandaged her wound, she said to Zhou Tianlei in French: "I am Chinese, you quickly leave, you can't afford to offend them. I don't want to implicate these kind-hearted people."

  The Chinese woman's words were like pouring oil on the fire of German officers' anger. They decided to show off their chivalry as German knights to this injured Chinese woman.

  Zhou Tianlei put his mouth close to the Chinese woman's ear and said, "Miss, rest assured, it's not us who will escape, but them." Zhou Tianlei spoke in Mandarin. The woman's face showed a look of astonishment, but before she could ask Zhou Tianlei anything, he handed her over to the German guard behind him. Along with other German officers, they walked forward.

  The Japanese saw the Germans as no threat at all. A hint of panic began to appear. Zhou Tianlei said in German, "If you bow your heads to us three times now and promise not to bother that girl again, we can consider letting you leave. However, since what you say is almost as reliable as a fart, I still have my doubts about your promises."

  The Japanese people started to sober up a bit after hearing Zhou Tianlei's German, and those who understood German told their companions that they were not French but their allies, the Germans. However, after hearing Zhou Tianlei's last sentence, the Japanese were enraged by his last sentence. The Japanese man holding the wine bottle shouted and swung the bottle at Zhou Tianlei.

  "Be careful." A woman's voice came from behind Zhou Tianlei, and it was in Chinese. Of course, everyone knew that it was the Chinese woman who, in her anxiety, had forgotten to speak French and directly used her mother tongue - Chinese.

  Zhou Tianlei's eyes looked at the Japanese man with disdain as he waved a wine bottle in his hand and rushed towards him. The Japanese man was further enraged by Zhou Tianlei's disdainful gaze, and he quickened his pace to rush over. The Chinese woman saw this scene and couldn't bear to watch, covering her own eyes with her hands, not wanting to see Zhou Tianlei get beaten up.

  Only when Zhou Tianlei and the Japanese man were one step away from each other did he suddenly turn to the right with his right foot as the axis. His left foot lifted off the ground, tangled around the Japanese man's leg, his right hand stretched out, reaching under the Japanese man's arm holding the wine bottle, gave a boost upwards, and his left hand grabbed the wine bottle and pulled it towards him. The wine bottle somehow ended up in Zhou Tianlei's hands, while the Japanese man, unable to regain his balance with Zhou Tianlei's help, rolled onto the ground. By the time he got back up, he found himself sprawled out in front of the Chinese woman, his posture eerily similar to that of someone kneeling down to beg for forgiveness.

  The Japanese man let out a loud shout and suddenly pounced on the Chinese woman, this situation was far beyond the expectations of the German officers present, they had thought that after the Japanese man suffered this loss, he would turn around and pounce on Zhou Tianlei again, but did not expect him to pounce on the Chinese woman instead.

  The Chinese woman seemed to have not expected the Japanese man's action either, and let out a scream as she tried to dodge him. But it was too late, and all that could be heard was a dull thud as the Japanese man who had pounced on the Chinese woman crashed to the ground unconscious, while Zhou Tianlei held a shattered wine bottle in his hand, which he had just snatched from the Japanese man's grasp.

  Originally, Zhou Tianlei saw the Japanese man get up after being knocked down and instead of pouncing on him again, he pounced on a Chinese woman. He knew that if he didn't intervene in time, the Chinese woman would be in big trouble. He quickly stepped forward, and with his left hand gripping the wine bottle, he smashed it onto the Japanese man's head.

  When the sake bottle and the Japanese man came into close contact, the bottle shattered, and the Japanese man also fell to the ground, unable to move. For a while, he was unable to attack anyone again.

  Zhou Tianlei turned around and looked at the Japanese people who were stunned by his actions. He said, "Is there anyone else who is not convinced? Step forward."

  The remaining Japanese were already frightened by Zhou Tianlei's familiar grappling moves, and they did not expect the German to also know this trick, so they all stayed on the scene. It wasn't until Zhou Tianlei shouted for the second time that someone said, "We don't dare, we don't dare."

  "If you don't dare to take him away, then are you all satisfied with your lives for daring to provoke our great German military officers?"

  Romell also came to his senses from the surprise just now and scolded the Japanese.

  Several Japanese people didn't dare to make a sound and quietly came over to carry away the Japanese person who was still groaning with his mouth hanging open.

  "Get out of here quickly and disappear from my sight immediately. If I see you doing evil again, it won't be as simple as today."

  The Japanese carried their wounded away like a defeated dog slinking away with its tail between its legs.

  Zhou Tianlei turned to the Chinese woman, who was now able to stand alone with her own strength. She asked Zhou Tianlei in a pleasant voice: "Are you Germans? Are you German officers?"

  Zhou Tianlei nodded and said: "Yes, we are German officers. How did you get chased by them?"

  All I saw was that Chinese woman lowering her head, seemingly hesitating about something, then raising her head to ask: "Aren't you and the Japanese allies? You just...".

  Zhou Tianlei said: "Our great German will is an ally of Japan, but that does not mean we will tolerate the Japanese doing whatever they want."

  The Chinese woman suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Tianlei's sleeve, saying loudly: "Please, please hurry up and save my father, my brother, and my neighbors."

  Zhou Tianlei said: "What's going on? Please speak a bit slower."

  The Chinese woman said with a sob: "We're late and I'm afraid we won't make it."

  Zhou Tianlei said: "Then let's get on the car and you take us there."

  The car carrying the German officers, the woman and their guards arrived at the place where the Chinese woman had said. There were many Japanese people in that place, entering and exiting various rooms, dragging out one after another dark-haired, yellow-skinned people, apparently Chinese overseas students in France. Some houses' windows had already been smashed by the Japanese. The Japanese held wooden sticks and other objects, surrounding the Chinese people's houses, fiercely smashing them inside and out, laughing loudly while doing so. Meanwhile, the Chinese people were staring at the Japanese with angry eyes, but not one of them went to stop the Japanese actions.

  The woman also saw the scene after getting off the bus, and suddenly she pushed away the German guard standing beside her and rushed into the crowd. Zhou Tianlei didn't catch up with her either, so he had to follow her running towards the crowd.

  Long Mei'er saw Zhou Tianlei follow the woman and hurriedly ordered a few guards to follow behind Zhou Tianlei. Although Long Mei'er had just seen Zhou Tianlei's martial arts skills, he was still worried that he would get hurt in the chaotic crowd.

  He turned around and ordered another guard to hurry off and mobilize the German army troops stationed in Paris. The guard immediately drove away.

  After seeing the guard leave, Rommel turned around and continued staring at Zhou Tianlei.

  The woman was seen in the crowd talking to an obviously older Chinese old man, who was tightly holding onto another young Chinese man. These two should be the father and brother mentioned by the woman. Zhou Tianlei stood aside with several guards, standing out in the crowd.

  Zhou Tianlei stood with several guards in the crowd, listening to the woman tell his father about her encounter with Zhou Tianlei.

  "Child, how did you bring the Germans here? Don't you know that the Germans and Japanese are in cahoots?" The elderly Chinese man said to the woman.

  "Dad, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you."

  "What's going on, sister? How come you can't see us? And what about the wound on your head?" a young Chinese man asked.

  "Little brother, it's like this. I escaped from that small alley over there and was planning to go find the French police according to what you guys said. But before I could even run out of the alley, I bumped into four or five Japanese people who were dead drunk. When they saw me, they shouted 'Stop right there, flower girl!'"

  I rushed to another alley, and on the way I fell down. One of the Japanese pounced on me and started tearing my clothes. I kicked him and he let go of me in pain. When I reached the entrance of the alley, another Japanese caught up with me and grabbed my clothes. After I broke free from his grasp, I ran out of the alley and bumped into their car. They bandaged my wounds for me and even chased away those Japanese who were chasing me.

  "Dad, France has already fallen, and the French police don't care about anything anymore. What's the use of going to find the French police?" The woman continued.

  "We can't go find the Germans either, you think, Japanese have already slaughtered many Chinese in China. And the Germans are their allies, they're not helping the Japanese to harm us is already not bad enough, do you still think they'll come help us?" The young man said with hatred.
