The troops were soon assembled. Bai Yihua led the troops into Qinglin Town. The moment he entered the Azure Forest Town, the scene before him made Bai Yihua furious. A few places on the street were still on fire. The rafters, cotton, tables, and chairs that had not been burned were still emitting smoke. A mountain breeze came from a far distance, swirling yellow leaves and paper scraps in the alley. The sky was grayish yellow, and the dust on the ground was blown by the wind. The pungent smell of burning floated in front of Bai Yihua's nose. In the open space in the middle of the town, there were corpses lying all over the place. Some of them were from the Green Forest Town, and some were from the Independent Regiment. There was a little girl lying in a pool of blood. Her face could no longer be seen clearly. Her messy hair was tied with a bright red headband. There was a woman holding a baby in her arms.
This scene made Bai Yihua and the soldiers of the children's group furious. They all demanded to investigate the attack on the devils and avenge the people of Qinglin Town and their comrades who had died. After Bai Yihua, Tang Jian, Shan Haitao, and Cai Shan stabilized everyone's emotions, they sat together to discuss how to attack the devils at Tumen Train Station and rescue Cai Shan and a company commander. Lin Gang, the third battalion commander, was also informed of this meeting, but he said that he was sick and did not attend. When Shi Shoutian saw that Lin Gang didn't attend the meeting, he was furious." After all, they were not brothers who had gone through thick and thin together. It was heartbreaking that they did not come just because such a big thing had happened.
"Let's not bother about him. Let's start the meeting now." When the time came, he would just have to inform him about the contents of the political commissar's meeting.”
Tang Jian also sighed and said,"This Battalion Commander Lin is so good at throwing a tantrum." He has the greatest opinion on our reorganization this time. He was originally the deputy commander of the Third Regiment, but now he was the battalion commander. He had been holding back his anger, so please don't take offense.”
Shan Haitao was the first to voice his thoughts."This time, we can only use our wits, not force. According to the current situation, it is impossible for us to ambush the Japanese on the way and rescue the Chief of Staff. I think we should split up and approach Tumen City. When the time is right, we will take action and defeat the Japanese in Tumen City. Only then can we rescue them.”
Bai Yihua and Tang Jian affirmed Shan Haitao's opinion. Seeing that the regiment commander and the political commissar had the same opinion, Shi Shoutian was speechless and could only sit there and circulate his qi. Bai Yihua and Tang Jian only looked at each other and smiled.
With that, Bai Yihua and the Independent Regiment were stationed in Qinglin Town. They helped the residents bury the bodies of their loved ones and returned to their barracks. The night was silent.
Early the next morning, the sentry reported to Bai Yihua and Tang Jian,""Battalion Commander Lin, take the 3rd Battalion and the others to Tumen City.”
Bai Yihua and Tang Jian were shocked and asked almost at the same time,""When did Lin Gang and the others leave?”
The sentry said,"Commander Lin left with the entire battalion at around three o'clock at night. He said he was carrying out an order." I didn't dare to ask. After I went on sentry duty in the morning, I saw that there were still people from the 3rd Battalion who didn't follow him. They left when I was on sentry duty. I am responsible, so I came to apologize to the regiment commander.”
Bai Yihua said,"This is not your responsibility. You can go back first." The sentry saluted and retreated. The soldier from the 3rd Battalion came in and handed Tang Jian a letter.""Battalion Commander Lin asked me to give this to you.”
After Lin Jian finished reading the letter, he said,"Scum."”He then handed the letter to Bai Yihua. Bai Yihua took the letter and read it."Guild Leader, I'm leaving. I've also brought along those who are willing to follow me. Leader, ever since we reorganized with the Independent Regiment, our brothers all said that you've changed. You've become obedient to the little white dragon. I also thought that you had left, so I left and led my brothers to live a good life.”After Bai Yihua finished reading the letter, he tore it into pieces."Father is dead, mother is married, everyone cares about each other, let him be.”
Bai Yihua said to Tang Jian,"You stay at home and preside over the work. I'll take Hu Zi to Tumen City to take a look." If you have something to discuss with Haitao. I must keep an eye on Morida. He's easily agitated."
Tang Jian said to Bai Yihua,"Can't someone else go?"”Bai Yihua shook his head." I have to go personally.”After saying that, he entered the house and changed his clothes. He called Hu Zi and set off.
Bai Yihua and Hu Zi arrived outside Tumen City. Tumen City was not very big, but it was connected in all directions. It was an important transportation hub for the three eastern provinces. The geographical location was very important. The Japanese Kwantung Army attached great importance to this place, so the Japanese stationed a regiment and nearly three regiments of the Imperial Association Army here. There were many merchants coming and going here. In order to ensure the economic prosperity here, the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters adopted a tight internal and loose external strategy.
Bai Yihua and Hu Zi entered Tumen City dressed as merchants. At this moment, the streets and alleys of the city were all discussing the tragedy in Azure Forest Town and the captured Resistance Alliance soldiers. After several inquiries, Bai Yihua learned that Cai Shan and the others were locked up in the Japanese military police headquarters. To save them, it could be said to be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
Bai Yihua and Hu Zi left Tumen City. At this moment, Bai Yihua and Hu Zi both felt that they were being watched. Bai Yihua was sure that there were two people, so they went to the mountain outside the city to meet them. After seven or eight turns, Bai Yihua and Hu Zi arrived behind the two people. Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, Bai Yihua and Hu Zi's guns were pressed against their waists." Don't move. Hand over your guns." Alright, squat down." The two of them were quite obedient. They took out their guns and squatted down."Regiment Commander, don't shoot. I was sent by Battalion Commander Lin.”When Hu Zi heard Lin Gang's name, he was furious. He pulled the trigger. Bai Yihua realized that Hu Zi was about to shoot, so he pushed Hu Zi's gun away."Hu Zi, don't be rash."
Bai Yihua helped the two men up and returned the guns to them."Why did Battalion Commander Lin ask you to look for me?”
One of them answered," Regiment Commander, my name is Wang Dalong. Our Battalion Commander has invited you to come to our place." Now, he was already the commander of the Imperial Association Army.”Bai Yihua said to the man,"Alright, I want to meet your Colonel Lin." You guys lead the way."
Hu Zi mumbled,"What bullsh * t leader, he's just a traitor."”
