Chapter 43 Victory and Rotation of Troops

  Yang Jingyu rushed up a few steps and pulled Zhao Xiaofeng's hand, laughing: "But Commander Zhao? I've long admired you, long admired you!"

  Zhao Xiaofeng shook his hand vigorously and replied, "The pleasure is mine! The pleasure is mine! Jingyu brother's great name is also well-known to me! And these two..." Zhao Xiaofeng looked at the two people beside him and asked.

  "Under Zhao Shangzhi! Under Xiao Le!" The two took turns reporting.

  Zhao Xiaofeng immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Shangzhi and Xiao Lei, laughing: "So brother is the 'small' Manchukuo, big Zhao Shangzhi that the Japanese called!"

  "What's with Commander Zhao?" Zhao Shangzhi was perplexed by Zhao Xiaofeng's words.

  Zhao Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that he had made another mistake in history, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Sorry! I haven't been resting well lately, so I've been talking nonsense!" But in his heart, he not only felt a good impression of this sturdy man who was shorter than others by a head, because during the War of Resistance, there was a saying circulating in Northeast China called "Southern Yang and Northern Zhao". "Southern Yang" referred to Yang Jingyu, and "Northern Zhao" was Zhao Shangzhi.

  At this time, Zhao Xiaofeng suddenly found that his hand was gently shaken off by someone else. He was taken aback and turned to look, only to see Xiao Lei standing there with a red face, at a loss for what to do. It turned out that he had still been holding her soft little hand while speaking just now.

  "Hehe! You look lovely when you're shy, that little hand is simply stunning!" Zhao Xiao Feng secretly exclaimed, but immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Jie, I was just momentarily excited earlier, I really apologize!"

  It's better not to explain, but as soon as she explained, Xiao Le's pretty face turned even redder.

  "Ah!" Zhao Xiao Feng couldn't help but exclaim, thinking to himself: "Damn it! How did this little girl grow up? So chubby and cute, just like a Barbie doll! If this is..."

  "Commander Zhao!" Yang Jingyu interrupted Zhao Xiaofeng's daydreaming, saying: "I have been ordered to come to Fengtian to intercept the Japanese. Commander Zhao can now retire with honor!"

  "No rush, no rush!" Zhao Xiao Feng immediately smiled and said: "I still have many things to discuss with Brother Jing Yu, please come to the Daqing Building for a chat!" After that, Zhao Xiao Feng turned to his soldiers and said: "First take your brothers to eat a big meal, then bring them to our secret fort to take a look!"

  "Yes!" Inside the Qinglou, Zhao Xiao Feng had put away his own "lustful heart" and seriously pointed to the map, introducing: "The Japanese are now stationed outside the south gate with a large number of troops. The highest commander, Hayashi Tadayoshi, is the Major General commanding officer of Japan's 39th Mixed Brigade, and there are approximately 10,000 Japanese soldiers!"

  "Commander Zhao!" Yang Jingyu stood up and said: "We all understand the enemy's dynamics, it's just that our... weapons..."

  "Oh!" Zhao Xiaofeng immediately smiled and said: "I've already prepared this for everyone a long time ago!"

  Zhao Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said: "I have prepared for you three Japanese 88 artillery pieces and one hundred and fifty shells, one hundred mortars and two thousand shells, fifty machine guns and thirty million bullets, as well as one thousand rifles and five thousand hand grenades!"

  "Ah!" Yang Jingyu exclaimed in surprise, and even Zhao Shangzhi and Xiao Lei couldn't help but be moved. This Zhao Xiaofeng is really generous!

  Actually, Zhao Xiao Feng didn't want to leave them with so many weapons, but thinking that they were all comrades in the fight against Japan, and moreover, everyone was someone he admired, plus that doll-like face, so he decided to be generous this once.

  "And another thing!" Zhao Xiaofeng added.

  "Anything else?" Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi and Xiao Lei immediately exclaimed in surprise. Suddenly, all three of them felt their faces flush red, and they quickly sat down, each mocking themselves.

  Zhao Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I originally prepared three months' worth of food for my own army, now I'm giving it all to you. These supplies are in various hidden bunkers, including clean water, mantou, salted eggs, canned goods, instant noodles, and so on."

  "Good!" Yang Jingyu immediately smiled and said: "Commander Zhao is really thorough! I admire you!"

  "Also!" Zhao Xiao Feng looked at the three people who were no longer surprised and said: "We have already set up more than 2,000 large and small traps, hidden forts, and hand grenade ambushes. Hope you can grasp the location as soon as possible!"

  "Good! Thank you!" Yang Jingyu said sincerely.

  "We'll give you a big gift before we leave!" Zhao Xiao Feng was indeed a man of his word.

  "No! No!" The three of them shook their heads in unison as they looked at Zhao Xiaofeng.

  "No! You have to take this thick gift!" Zhao Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Before we retreat, we will launch a surprise attack on the Japanese camp once, give them a heavy blow, and also alleviate some pressure for you!"

  "What?" Yang Jingyu said with a disbelieving expression: "You... how many of you are there now?"

  "Three hundred!" Zhao Xiaofeng said without hesitation.

  "Ah!" Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi and Xiao Lei exclaimed in unison. Yang Jingyu said, "No way! Commander Zhao really can't make it! Brothers, thank Commander Zhao for his kindness first, you guys retreat first, we can do it!"

  "No!" Zhao Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "I won't leave without killing a few devils first! Haha!" In fact, Zhao Xiao Feng had already forgotten what his own surname was, he was so pleased with the shocked looks on their faces.

  "I'm awesome, right? Worship me! Beautiful woman, come on! I'm fearless of whoever comes!"

  "Good fellow!" Yang Jingyu suddenly interrupted his daydreaming and said: "Commander Zhao! I have an impolite request."

  "Speak!" Zhao Xiao Feng said.

  "I want to be sworn brothers with Commander Zhao! I am willing to acknowledge Commander Zhao as my elder brother! But...?" Yang Jingyu is indeed a man of great character, loving and hating with all his heart!

  "Great!" Zhao Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise: "Really!" His heart was now blooming with joy, he could be sworn brothers with this anti-Japanese hero, and he was even the big brother, ha! He would surely go down in history!

  "May I, Commander Zhao?" a soft voice sounded in Zhao Xiao Feng's ear.

  "Really!" Zhao Xiao Feng excitedly pulled up Xiao Lei's slender hand again, and Xiao Lei immediately grasped Zhao Xiao Feng's large hand with a crisp sound.

  Suddenly, another hand patted Zhao Xiaofeng's back and said: "Good things don't pull me down!" Zhao Shangzhi also spoke up.

  "Ah! You scared me!" Zhao Xiao Feng was gently stroking Xiao Lei's soft little hand when he got startled.

  "Good!" Zhao Xiaofeng laughed and said: "Today the four of us brothers and sisters will become sworn siblings! Let's go pay our respects and burn incense!"

  "No!" Yang Jingyu waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhao! This matter must not be made public! Besides, we don't believe in that nonsense about kowtowing and burning incense! As long as we are of one mind and work together to kill the enemy, isn't that what it means to be a real man?"

  "Great!" Zhao Xiao Feng took the opportunity to squeeze Xiao Lei's small hand again and said, "Don't forget we still have a little sister!"

  "Come on! Pour wine!" Zhao Xiaofeng shouted.

  Zhao Xiaofeng is the eldest brother, Yang Jingyu is the second brother, Zhao Shangzhi is the third younger brother, and Xiao Lei is the fourth younger sister. In this way, a secretly formed sworn brotherhood team was established, and everyone made it clear that no one would publicly mention this matter in public, but only use the titles used when they were sworn brothers when the four of them were together.

  Zhao Xiaofeng, in order to protect the life of his newly sworn little sister and to please this beautiful woman with a pretty doll face, gave the handgun he brought from modern times to Xiao Le for self-defense.

  Xiao Lei took the delicate handgun with Zhao Xiao Feng's body temperature, turned it over and looked at it lovingly, and asked in surprise: "Big brother! What kind of gun is this? I've never seen such a exquisite handgun before?"

  Zhao Xiaofeng dared not tell the truth, and immediately made up a story: "This is a soldier from my unit who gave it to me. I heard that he used to study in Germany and spent a lot of money to ask someone to make this gun for him over a year's time. It's very precious! However, you mustn't let anyone else see it! What a pity! That soldier has already died on the battlefield!" Zhao Xiaofeng pretended to shed a tear.

  "Good shot!" Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi both exclaimed sincerely.

  Xiao Lei immediately said politely: "Big brother! This gun is still left to you for self-defense, I am a woman and it's not suitable for me to keep such an expensive thing!"

  "No!" Zhao Xiao Feng immediately waved his hand and said: "You are our little sister, good things should naturally be left for you!"

  "I'd better stop here!" Xiao Lei laughed and said: "When my son grows up, I'll let him take over and beat a few more devils!"

  "Ah!" Zhao Xiao Feng was shocked, "You!...... You have a son now?"

  "Really!" Xiao Le smiled: "My son is already one year old now!"

  "Oh!" Zhao Xiaofeng's spirit almost collapsed, but he still said humorously: "Really can't tell! Our little sister actually has a child at such a young age!"

  "You're still young!" Xiao Le teased: "I'm already a 25-year-old person!"

  "Ah!" Zhao Xiao Feng almost didn't come back to his senses, "A demon! A demon! How can it be like a little girl, and even have a doll-like face!" Zhao Xiao Feng muttered to himself in his heart.

  "Hahaha! …… " Everyone burst out laughing together. Zhao Xiaofeng laughed the most happily, after all, he had two younger brothers and a sister during the war of resistance!

  This time, Zhao Xiaofeng's military operation did not get close to the Japanese position, but it also eliminated all three small teams set up by the Japanese on the periphery! More than 160 Japanese soldiers died in a muddle! In the end, Lin Zhonglang mobilized his troops, and Zhao Xiaofeng reluctantly fired a barrage of artillery at the enemy before retreating.

  Seeing the intact and undamaged Northeast Anti-Japanese Army coming out of the North Gate, Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, and Xiao Lei exclaimed in unison: "Good military might! Good morale!"

  Ten days later, Zhao Xiaofeng arrived at the designated location, and all the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army had already found a place to settle down near the three rooms.

  They followed Zhao Xiaofeng's instructions and hid the entire team in a strategic location in the mountains, even hiding those few tanks.

  Zhao Xiaofeng personally went to Qiqihar, the provincial capital of Heilongjiang Province, to meet Ma Zhanshan, who was still serving as the commander of the Heihe Defense Command and the commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Heilongjiang Provincial Army.

  He knew that Ma Zhan Shan was a patriotic general. If he could get his support, all his beautiful wishes might come true.
