The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 240: That Year I Fight the Japanese with Hu Tuanzuo (Part 2) [Additional Chapter for the Color Shadow Master]

When Boss Dai's back completely disappeared from sight.

Anne slumped down on an armchair behind her, feeling extremely weak all over.

Then he picked up his cup and drank the entire cup of tea in one gulp, and only then did he feel better.

It was at this moment that she realized that she was so nervous that even her underwear was soaked with sweat.

By the way! Because of her work in the modern dimension, Annie has come into contact with many important people.

During these two times of traveling through time, he met David Sunjia, who was like the underground emperor of the Magic City, celebrities like Kawashima Yoshiko, and even met Li Bai, two big bosses of the Gui army.

These people are able to leave their names in history, so they must have something extraordinary.

But even the two big bosses of the Gui army, Li Bai, did not put as much pressure on her as Boss Dai just now.

Even during a conversation between the two after they met, Boss Dai showed a very kind attitude, and even encouraged her and gave her some benefits.

But Anne knew that these were just assumptions.

If my response at that time had revealed even the slightest flaw, who knows how many evil hands would have been attracted to me, Hu Biao and others.

Boss Dai really deserved his death. After his death, the bald principal lamented that if he had not died, the Kuomintang government would not have lost the mainland; and the top leaders of our party commented that it was fortunate that he died, otherwise the victory would have been achieved at least ten years later. He is a legendary figure.

Fortunately, Annie is not a pretty face. In her self-evaluation just now, she scored at least 82 points.

For the remaining 18 points, I plan to give them to myself with three 666s.

"People are made through training. I just didn't have the chance to encounter such a ruthless person before. After a few more experiences, even if I meet the bald principal, I will be able to chat and laugh with him."

Anne told herself this after pouring herself another cup of tea.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed in front of them, and the wizard and Mo Shuiyan hurriedly walked into the large tent.

Mo Shuiyan opened his mouth and asked anxiously, "Annie, what did you talk about with that old bastard like Boss Dai? Just now, several of his men were guarding outside and no one was allowed to get close. We were so anxious."

At this time, Annie had successfully adjusted her mood and was even a little proud.

He said lightly, "It's okay! At least it's okay for now, enough for us to get through this time travel.

I told Boss Dai that Hu Biao and you all came from abroad, from a mysterious organization composed entirely of Chinese. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, you hurried back to China to join the war as individuals, just to fulfill the loyalty of the Chinese people.

The organization has many advanced technologies, penicillin being just one of them.

I just met Hu Biao by chance; maybe it was because I looked very similar to the dancer named Annie in the Paramount that Hu Biao took a fancy to me.

Last year in Shanghai, it was the people arranged by Hu Biao who rescued me from Yoshiko Kawashima at the critical moment; during this period of time, I have been following Hu Biao.

The purpose is to find out more secrets about the mysterious organization behind him."

"Could it be so easy for an old fox like Boss Dai to believe everything you say?" The wizard asked in disbelief.

Anne shook her head and replied, "They say he's an old fox. I guess there's no one or anything he can absolutely trust.

We should be thankful if we can have even a little faith in it.

Fortunately, even though he had doubts, he was willing to take a gamble and play the long game to catch a big fish; so one thing he did was to let me continue to stay with Hu Biao and rely on my female advantages to obtain more intelligence.

The second is to agree to go to the bald principal and help to drum up support, asking the bald principal to strictly order Commander Tang, who loves the people like his own children, not to conserve his strength and to fully participate in the subsequent battles.

Oh, and I'm now a Lieutenant Colonel in the Military Control Commission.

This is one of the benefits Boss Dai gave me before he left. In addition to a promotion, someone will send me $10,000 later.

This is just the initial reward. I have to say that Boss Dai is really generous."

After hearing Annie's explanation, the wizard and Mo Shuiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the Lieutenant Colonel rank and the $10,000 reward, they didn't care too much about it because they were still worried about other things. After thinking about something, Mo Shuiyan complained:
“It’s not difficult for us to make various DIY equipment, and we have no shortage of raw materials.

But we are seriously short of manpower, and the output is far from meeting the requirements of Hu Biao and his team. Where can we find some manpower, preferably young people with some education and quick minds. "

Amidst the complaints, Annie's smugness about her military rank catching up with that big pig's hoof Hu Biao disappeared completely.

Yes! The most important problem right now is the lack of manpower.

The three of them naturally knew that after suffering a loss in Teng County, the Japanese had become smarter, making it very difficult for Hu Biao and his men to defeat them.

Not only is there a shortage of manpower to process equipment, but there is also a shortage of manpower to pick up weapons and join the meat grinder.

The problem is that they have no solution to this problem for the time being.

We can only hope that the telegram sent in plain text in the name of Hu Biao will have some effect.

As it turned out, the plaintext telegram not only had some effect, but the effect was extremely good; there were far more Xuzhou men than they expected who came to help the legendary Hu Tuanzuo.

It’s just that after the Battle of Taierzhuang, whether it was when traveling through time or when people were in the modern dimension.

Except for the native Lao Yu, for a long time, all the other members of the time travel team deliberately avoided coming to the Xuzhou area.

Because they don't dare, because they feel guilty...

******
At the same time in the modern dimension, in a ward of a tertiary hospital.

Xiao Wang, an unlucky intern on night shift, found a centenarian lying in bed during his ward rounds. The man was not sleepy at all and probably couldn't fall asleep.

After thinking about some rumors, I suddenly became interested and couldn't help but propose:

"Grandpa, I heard that your grandfather once joined the Subei Independent Regiment and fought against the Japanese in Taierzhuang with Commander Hu. Would you like to tell me about it?"

After hearing this, the old man who was lying on the hospital bed in a listless state suddenly became energetic.

That brief experience that happened in 87, scene by scene, emerged in my mind, as clear as if it happened just yesterday.

Under such circumstances, the voice in his mouth began to sound:
That year, I was just two months old when I turned 18. Because my parents had passed away due to illness, and I was too lazy to farm for the landlord in the countryside, I simply went to the train station in Xuzhou to make a living as a porter.

It is hard, but as long as you are willing to put in some effort, you can survive.

However, since the Japanese invaders attacked, most of the transportation on the Longhai Railway has been cut off, and the work at the train station has become less and less every day, and it seems that food is about to run out.

After noon that day, I was squatting on the platform waiting for work.

Suddenly, I heard a lot of people shouting in the street outside. I ran out with a few of my colleagues to see what was going on. It turned out that many people were talking about the same thing:
"Commander Hu was at Taierzhuang on the canal, fighting the Japanese with all his might.

Although Commander Hu is a fierce general like Zhao Zilong and Zhang Yide, he has only a few people in the Subei Independent Regiment under his command.

The Japs had planes, cannons, and iron turtles, and it seemed like they were about to be defeated.

Now they are sending a telegram to all the men in Xuzhou to go to Taierzhuang to fight the Japanese.

When I heard this, I started to think: "Instead of dying of starvation, I might as well follow Commander Hu to fight the Japanese; dying is a quick death, and living is even better.

Besides! How can it be that Hu Tuanzuo, a foreigner, is fighting for his life while we, the locals, are hiding behind him? "

At that time, I asked a few guys who were doing the work, is there anyone willing to go to Taierzhuang with me to join the Subei Independent Regiment?
They all grumbled about having elderly mothers at home or the burden of wives and children, and were unwilling to go with me.

After hearing this, I didn't get angry. I imitated the movements on the stage and saluted them with my fists. After that, we said goodbye and walked out of the city gate towards Taierzhuang.

After saying this, intern Xiao Wang was surprised to see that there was suddenly light in the old man's originally cloudy eyes.

Suddenly, a sentence from nowhere involuntarily came to my mind: The young man has not yet properly equipped his sword, but he will go out into the world of martial arts...
