Chapter Fifty-Seven Scheming

  Through Master's explanation, Lin Feng gained some understanding of the current situation of the Security Team.

  The security team began to gather in Huaiyin Town on the third day after he left the county town, and now there are about 30 or 40 people gathered, with their base set up in the town government office.

  "These people were still honest when they first came to our town, but since that Yao Wenyong appeared, there have been several things happening in the town, all related to him." Ma Wenliang said finally.

  "Are all these things related to Yao Wenyong?" Lin Feng knew that Yao Wenyong was not a man who kept a low profile, but he didn't expect him to be so reckless. In less than half a month since his arrival in Huaiyin Town, he had already gotten into many troubles. He asked, "What kind of things are they?"

  "It's probably because the soldiers' supplies are insufficient, so Yao Wenyong often leads people to ordinary people's homes to grab food as soon as they see it, and even had conflicts with ordinary people, injuring several people." Ma Wenliang said, "This is not the worst, Wang Guixiang, who opened a restaurant on South Street, was forcibly taken away by soldiers to be a partner at the town government office, while Yao Wenyong openly slept at Wang Guixiang's home at night. Wang Guixiang's wife felt ashamed and not only didn't dare say anything but also helped Yao Wenyong cover it up, but the truth eventually came out and almost everyone in the town knew about it."

  A good man protects his neighbors, Lin Feng's thoughts are very traditional and have a strong local flavor. After listening to Master Shifu tell about Yao Wenyong's actions in Huaiyin Town, he couldn't help but burn with anger, raised an eyebrow and said: "This is outrageous, I'll go find Lian Zhang to report this."

  Lin Feng didn't even eat breakfast and went straight to the town government office.

  Huaiyin Town has four streets, namely East Street, South Street, West Street and North Street. The town government is located in the middle of these four streets.

  When Lin Feng arrived at the town government office, he found two sentries standing guard at the entrance. Although they looked somewhat familiar, he couldn't recall which squad they belonged to. So he walked up and said: "I'm Lin Feng, the young master of the Lin family in Huaiyin Town. Would you brothers please announce my arrival? I want to see the commander of the third company."

  Lam Fung did not report his identity in the security team because he didn't want to return to the team yet.

  A sentry went in and reported it.

  It wasn't long before footsteps echoed from inside and Lieutenant Colonel San brought a guard out into the doorway.

  Lin Feng saw San Lian Chang and instinctively straightened his posture and puffed out his chest.

  Three consecutive gazes fell on Lin Feng's face, and his expression was clearly stunned for a moment before quickly recovering to its natural state. He smiled and said, "So it's you, young man."

  It seems that Yao Wenyong hasn't reported to Lianzhang yet, otherwise Lianzhang should have known that I, Lin Feng, am the young master of the Lin family.

  Lin Feng thought of Yao Wenyong in his heart, but didn't hesitate on his lips, saying: "Commander Lian, it's me."

  Sanlian Chang was delighted to see Lin Feng: "You little scoundrel is still alive, great! Come on, let's talk inside!"

  A room in the town hall.

  This was originally the mayor's office, but now the entire town hall has been occupied by the security forces, and this office naturally became the command post of the third company commander.

  The office's facilities were somewhat simple, with several tables joined together in the middle, covered with military maps, and several chairs placed around the tables.

  Sanlian Chang let Lin Feng sit down casually and sat down on a chair himself.

  Because Lin Feng came over this time using his identity as Young Master Lin, Commander San didn't treat him with the courtesy due to a visiting officer.

  Lin Feng didn't stand on ceremony either and plopped himself down in one of the chairs.

  "Lin Feng, how have you been since the Battle of Luhe?" The company commander pulled out a cigarette, lit it up and took a drag, exhaling white smoke as he tossed the pack along with the matches to Lin Feng, asking about his recent situation.

  "I was knocked unconscious by an explosion when I raided the Japanese artillery position at night, and when I woke up, I was the only one left. At that time, I was seriously injured, so I came back to my hometown to recover." Lin Feng waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke, and briefly talked about his recent situation.

  "How is your injury now?" Captain San asked again.

  "It's not fully recovered yet, but it's no big deal," said Lin Feng.

  "It's all right as long as nothing serious happens." Squadron Leader said, "Lin Feng, you're a good material for being a soldier, I have high hopes for you, strive to return to the team as soon as possible!"

  "This..." Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly, "Lian Zhang, it's not that I don't want to return to the team, but there are still some things I need to take care of right now. Can you give me a little more time, Lian Zhang? Once I've taken care of these things, I'll immediately return to the team."

  "Private matter?" Lian Chang asked.

  "Some are private matters, some aren't." Lin Feng then recounted the events that had occurred in the county town recently and said, "I must kill Xiao Ye and Ito Kamejiro, and I must also rescue my father from the county town as soon as possible. This little devil is definitely plotting something by detaining my father."

  Sanlian Chang furrowed his brow after listening to Lin Feng's account, and thought for a while before saying: "It seems that the Japanese army is not yet stable in the county seat, and the soft detention of Mr. Lin is one of their means of controlling Xiping."

  "Commander Lian, I actually have an idea." Lin Feng said with his eyes rolling around.

  "Oh, tell me about it." Squadron Leader seemed very interested in Lin Feng's idea.

  "Now that the Japanese army is still unsteady on its feet, why don't we launch a pincer movement from both inside and outside and give them a blow?" Lin Feng said.

  Sanlian Chang looked at Lin Feng without saying a word.

  Lin Feng was seen through by San Lian Chang and thought to himself: "Could it be that my plan has been seen through by the company commander?"

  What kind of ghost idea did Lin Feng come up with?

  It's actually quite simple, if he can get the cooperation of the security team this time, he wants to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of Xiao Ye and Ito Kamejiro at the same time, and arrange for his father to leave the county under the cover of chaos.

  Although the plan is risky, it's not impossible to succeed, and it's much better than waiting for death by letting Father be softly imprisoned by the Japanese army in the county town.

  Lin Feng had a guilty conscience, and when faced with San Lian's piercing gaze, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

  "You little scamp..." Squadron Leader raised his hand and pointed at Lin Feng, chuckling as he said, "You're really a sly devil."

  Obviously, his own tricks had been seen through by Lian Chang. Lin Feng, this guy's face was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all, he smiled and said: "Lian Chang, I think this idea is really good, we sacrificed so many good brothers in the Luhe River array, don't you want to avenge them?"

  Lin Feng mentioned the Battle of Luohe River, and the face of San Lian Chang instantly turned solemn: "They are all good men, they are the good sons of my Chinese nation!"

  Sanlian Chang's words were full of emotion, and Lin Feng found it hard to discern his decision from them.

  "Continue..." Lin Feng wanted to struggle again.

  Three consecutive swings of his hand, Lin Feng stopped him from continuing: "Lin Feng, I understand your thoughts, and I also want to avenge our brothers, but you just came back and probably don't know the current situation in the troops."

  "What's wrong with the troops?" Lin Feng asked.

  It seems that Lao Chang is not perfunctory, and it's possible that the troops are really in trouble. Lin Feng still wants to understand, maybe he can help the troops solve some difficulties, such as providing supplies.

  "The Liaohe Battle, my troops have almost been wiped out. Until now, only one platoon has returned to report back, and the whole battalion is left with just this many people, most of whom are also wounded. If these wounded soldiers can't receive treatment, I'm afraid we'll lose even more men. We're currently in urgent need of medical supplies, food, and ammunition." The company commander said worriedly.

  "Is it that serious?" Lin Feng didn't think the security team's situation would be so severe.

  "Yes, it's indeed very serious." Captain San nodded, his eyes filled with deep concern.

  Lin Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Commander Lian, I can help solve some of the food problems, and my family also has some stored ammunition, but the quantity won't be much. We can take it out to cope with the emergency first. However, the medicine is difficult to handle. The Western medicine in the county town has been controlled by the Japanese army, and it's hard to get."

  No medicine, the wounded are hard to cure. Weapons and equipment are not the most important for a team, talent is fundamental, without people there is nothing.

  "This is a top priority, Lin Feng furrowed his brow and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. He then said: 'Medicine, I really can't get my hands on it right now. If you have a way to obtain it, I can provide the funds to see if we can buy some from other places.'"

  The three consecutive tight frowns immediately relaxed, and with a hint of excitement, he said: "Good, as long as you can solve the difficulties of the troops, I can dispatch troops to cooperate with you to rescue Mr. Lin from the county seat."

  Lin Feng agreed to help the security team solve their difficulties, and in return, San Lian Chang promised to cooperate with him in his actions in the county town. This matter was considered settled.

  "After discussing this matter, Lin Feng said again: 'Lian Chang, there's something I need to report to you.'"

  "What's up?" The difficulties of the troops have been resolved and the company commander is in a very good mood now.

  Lin Feng then told the story of what he had heard from his master about Yao Wenyong's misdeeds in Huaiyin Town, as well as yesterday's incident where Yao Wenyong went to the Lin residence and caused trouble. Finally, he said: "Yao Wenyong's actions have seriously damaged the feelings of the common people, I, Lin Feng, absolutely cannot sit idly by."

  A loud "slap" sound was heard, and three consecutive slaps landed on the table: "This is outrageous, completely outrageous."

  He took a deep breath, his chest heaving up and down, and snorted loudly through his nose: "I've got it, Lin Feng. Don't worry, I'll handle this seriously and give the people justice."

  "Alright, I believe Lian Zhang will give the ordinary people a fair judgment." Lin Feng saw that San Lianzhang was very indignant about Yao Wenyong's actions, so he knew he wouldn't shield his own subordinate.

  After finishing the proper matter, Lin Feng waited for San Lian Chang's anger to dissipate before saying: "Lian Zhang, I want to ask, has our squad leader Wang Yuzhu come back?"

  When Lin Feng mentioned Wang Yuzhu, San Lian Chang's face immediately turned gloomy.

  Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this situation.

  Could it be that the class leader has sacrificed himself? Lin Feng did not want to believe that this would be the outcome.

  In Lin Feng's heart, Wang Yuzhu is not only his class monitor but also his brother, a brother who cares for him deeply and has saved his life, more than a real brother.

  The next sentence made Lin Feng's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

  Sanlian Chang said: "That night, your dare-to-die corps was the deepest in the enemy's rear, the battle was also the most tragic, and the loss was even more severe..."

  When Lin Feng heard Lian Chang say this, his heart sank even further. Had the class leader really sacrificed himself?
