The First Book of National Heroes: The Lonely City's Bloody Battle Chapter 36: Escaping the Tiger's Mouth

  The prototype of Ueda Sakura is a Japanese spy codenamed "Jiujiu", who repeatedly stole and obtained intelligence from our army in Burma, later followed refugees into Kunming, was captured 2 years later in Kunming, after being turned by the Military Bureau, provided a lot of false intelligence to the Japanese army, foiled several sabotage actions by Japanese special forces, but the Japanese side had some suspicions and cut off contact with her. This person's whereabouts are unknown afterwards. Some book friends didn't like it, so the woman's storyline almost disappeared, don't worry about it! Writing women is also very tiring for me! There's still one more chapter before the first part ends! The formal war is about to unfold, tonight at 24:00 I'll post another update, please everyone give your support!

  The pistol captured from Ueda Sakura by Song YuHang fired! The first one to be hit was surprisingly the sergeant sitting in the driver's seat? The Japanese military police sergeant who had been shot through the head was stunned for a moment, and as he raised his hand to touch the wound on his head, his arm had only lifted halfway when he fell out of the open car door.

  Two gendarmes standing beside the car with pistols were shot one after another. Song Yuhang chose to ignore the Japanese gendarme who ran towards the truck to grab a rifle, and instead chose to shoot and kill the Japanese gendarme who dropped his bucket and rushed into the woods.

  Song Yuhang finally turned the muzzle and aimed at the Japanese soldier who had already picked up his rifle, nervously pulling back the bolt to load a round.

  Bang! Song Yuhang accurately hit the head of the Japanese military police officer.

  Ueda Sakura was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, as if the killed cats and dogs had nothing to do with her. She cooperated very well with Song Yu Hang to throw the bodies of the Japanese military police into the woods, and pushed the small truck down the highway.

  Song Yuhang left himself a Type 38 rifle and over a hundred rounds of ammunition!

  The car continued driving on the highway, and Ueda Sakura's words became much fewer. Song Yu Hang was willing to keep quiet at the same time, silently calculating the route.

  The so-called highway in Burma is actually a dirt road with a width of about five meters. On sunny days, it's dusty and on rainy days, it's muddy. During the British colonial period, they only exploited various resources without investing in any basic infrastructure construction. Recently, the British have already tasted the bitter fruit of poor roads, as an entire battalion of tanks from the 7th Armoured Brigade of the British Indian Army was destroyed by Japanese forces on the highway.

  At this moment, Song Yuhang was facing an extreme speed of about 40 kilometers per hour and could only sigh helplessly. As long as he could climb smoothly until tomorrow, he would not be far from the Chinese troops' defense zone. Thinking of this, he could only silently sigh.

  Ueda Sakura seemed to have sensed Song Yu Hang's dissatisfaction with the speed of the car, and said in a tone that was almost teasing: "Mr. Song seems to be very dissatisfied with the speed! Have you driven even faster before?"

  Song Yuhang, who hadn't reacted in time, casually retorted: "Is this the best speed? My Dongfeng Iron Armor can easily reach speeds of 130-140 kilometers per hour!"

  "A speed of 140 kilometers per hour?" Sakura Ueda looked at Song Yuhang with an incredulous expression.

  Song Yuhang, who was usually eloquent, blurted out in a fit of rage: "Drive your car well!"

  Song Yuhang's hasty expression drew a huge question mark in Ueda Sakura's mind. It is common knowledge that China does not have its own mature automotive industry, and the name Dongfeng Tie Jia has such a strong Chinese flavor, matching Song Yuhang's words, this car must exist, judging from its name it is likely to be an armored vehicle or combat vehicle, only this speed of one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour is a bit too ridiculous.

  Unintentionally, she had obtained such an important message, and Sakura Ueda's mind suddenly fell into a professionally habitual analysis!

  Suddenly, the car made a loud screeching noise and lost control. Although Song Yu Hang realized that the axle had broken and grabbed the steering wheel in time, the out-of-control car still rushed off the road and plunged into the ditch beside the road.

  Song Yuhang, who had crawled out of the car in a sorry state, pulled out the amulet of Uta Sakaki and used the Big Dipper to determine their direction. After finding a water bottle, three cans of food, and two packages of crackers in the car, Song Yuhang and the other person entered the woods beside the highway with a rifle, continuing on towards Mandalay.

  According to Song Yu-Hang's judgment, although the battle of Tonggu was prolonged compared to history, it effectively contained the Japanese army's offensive! However, after reorganization and replenishment, the Japanese army will still make Mandalay a forward outpost for attack.

  Moreover, the destruction of the 200th Division would also prompt the 66th Corps, which was the general reserve force of the expeditionary army, to advance from Kunming, and the new 38th Division's entry into Mandalay was a natural consequence.

  Approaching Mandale is the best choice for Song Yu Hang at this moment, not only is it the closest distance, but also the current commander of the 38th Division, General Sun Li Ren and the Song family have a deeper relationship.

  Just half an hour after Song Yuhang abandoned the vehicle, a team of armed Japanese military police found the abandoned vehicle. The leader, Consul General Kitagawa, personally inspected the car in the ditch and returned to the highway, pondering for a moment before pointing at the radio soldier: "Immediately send a telegram to the Ministry of War, my department has discovered traces of the bandits who hijacked Lieutenant Colonel Ueda, I believe Lieutenant Colonel Ueda is still safe. The previous attack on the five military police was likely done by the same bandits who hijacked Lieutenant Colonel Ueda, and we are now pursuing them with all our might."

  The reason why the Japanese military police could react so quickly was that the medical officer found Mada Tsuguo tied up like a rice ball in his tent. Later, it was discovered that the wounded soldier who had been treated had also lost contact. Since he was a wounded soldier entrusted by the division commander, the medical officer naturally did not dare to be careless and immediately reported it.

  After the Kempeitai searched the tent and questioned Matsuda Tsukasa, Lieutenant Ganki, who was in charge, found that the identity of the wounded soldier being treated was highly suspicious. He sent it to the division headquarters together with a gold badge found inside the tent.

  When Togo Masao saw this gold badge, he was stunned for a moment. This engraved commemorative medal with the words "Port Arthur" is only available to a few people who participated in the Battle of Port Arthur in the military, and as far as he knows, no one in the 11th Army has such a badge.

  Iida Shoji, who had arrived earlier, lifted the veil of confusion for Watanabe Masao. Iida sat down carelessly in Watanabe's usual seat and, mistakenly thinking it was a token of Ueda Sakura and Watanabe's engagement, tapped on the badge with his finger and said in a low voice: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Ueda's badge, how did it end up in your hand? Where is Lieutenant Colonel Ueda now?"

  Just thinking about how Ueda Sakura repeatedly politely refused him, and then gave the precious badge representing the family's brave honor to this 11th Army's famous pretty boy Watanabe, Iida Shoji couldn't help but feel infuriated, especially since Watanabe even deliberately took it out to show off in front of him, losing face!

  Looking at Watanabe's thoughtful expression, Inada Shoji glared angrily and said: "Hey! Mr. Watanabe, I'm asking you where Miss Ueda is!"

  Watanabe Masao had no idea that Ina Shoji was thinking so much at this moment, he just didn't understand why the army commander would be so angry today.

  "Didn't Lieutenant Colonel Ueda Sakura come to the division headquarters?" Watanabe Masao then told Hanada Yoshiji everything about the badge's origin.

  Ryōji Iida, who knew the importance of Uemura Sakiko, immediately realized a serious problem: Uemura Sakiko might have been kidnapped. If she were to fall into the hands of the Chinese army, it would be a disaster for the Imperial Army.

  A temporary task force composed of elite personnel set out quickly! Inada Shoji also gave this pursuit unit the power to mobilize all previous reconnaissance teams.

  On a moonless night, Song Yu Hang walked through the thorny forest, and after walking for several kilometers, he had to stop his footsteps. The engine sound from the highway not far away was tempting him! According to estimates, this place is at least about 100 kilometers away from Mandalay, right in the dangerous area where the Chinese and Japanese armies' reconnaissance teams frequently exchanged fire. The only choice was to quickly pass through this area, and Song Yu Hang's physical condition at this moment did not allow him to make a long-distance trek on foot.

  After crossing a small stream, Song Yuhang led Ueda Sakiko back to the highway and hid on one side. What Song Yuhang did not expect was that his unintentional move saved his own life. Half an hour later, several Japanese military police cars rushed past, and soon after, human shouts and dog barks as well as flashlight lights came from the woods on the other side of the road.

  Because Song Yuhang was walking upstream along the creek, the Japanese military dogs lost their source of smell at the creek! Beikuan Mingyi scolded his opponent's cunning after dividing the troops into two routes and quickly led the team to search forward. What Beikuan Mingyi never expected was that the target he was looking for was actually missed by them right under their noses.

  The Japanese military police closest to Song Yuhang simply used a bayonet to roughly sweep aside the grass, and the bayonet just grazed over Song Yuhang's hair. Song Yuhang, who was covering Uemura Sakura's mouth with his hand, didn't dare move at all. Fortunately, the Japanese military police's search was quick and perfunctory.

  After the Japanese army passed by, Song Yuhang also felt strange about Sakura's unexpected cooperation. Since the pursuers had already surpassed themselves, wouldn't it be safe to say that they were basically out of danger now? Song Yuhang clearly didn't think so, as the Japanese must have been calculating their walking speed; if the Japanese army didn't gain anything within a certain range, they would inevitably turn back, making his situation even more dangerous.

  Then he and Ueda Sakura shared a can of beef after, followed the Japanese army search team's behind advance, Song Yu Hang's theoretical basis is that the Japanese army could not possibly re-search the place they had just searched half an hour ago, so keeping a certain distance to follow the pursuit troops' behind was theoretically the safest.

  Song Yu-Hang's bold and daring actions left Sakura Ueda utterly shocked, she was deeply impressed by the Chinese soldier's wit and courage.

  Behind them, several Japanese army reconnaissance units were also rapidly approaching the pursuing troops in North River...
