In a trench not far from the Kaishi city gate, the troops led by Jiang Wenshan were waiting for the enemy's attack in full battle formation.

However, after a long day and night, the exhausted soldiers began to doze off in the trenches.

At this time, Jiang Wenshan, who was in the temporary command tent, was extremely anxious. He asked Adjutant Tian beside him: "Adjutant Tian, the scouts we sent out haven't come back yet?"

Tian Yong frowned and replied, "A scout came back half an hour ago, but the situation doesn't seem optimistic. According to him, the Japanese troops are currently staying more than ten kilometers away from us and are busy removing landmines."

Hearing this news, Jiang Wenshan was very surprised and asked quickly: "Land mines? Who buried them?"

Tian Yong said with a complicated expression: "According to the description of the scout, the people who planted the mines should be guerrillas. Think about it, who else could those people wearing patched clothes be but guerrillas?"

Speaking of this, Tian Yong's heart was filled with gratitude towards the guerrillas.

After hearing this, Jiang Wenshan suddenly had an idea in his mind - he remembered that his younger cousin had told him that he and his son had joined the Xinsijun. So at this moment, could he and his daughter be in the team responsible for ambushing the devils? When he thought of this, Jiang Wenshan could no longer sit still.

He asked them to leave because he wanted to keep the two people away from the battlefield, but now they were standing in his way!

He quickly stood up, picked up his equipment, and said to Tian Yong, "Adjutant Tian, I'll leave this to you. I have to go over there and say hello, and find out what the current battle situation is like!"

"Captain, I'll go with you." Tian Yong was a little worried.

Jiang Wenshan turned around and refused, "No, someone has to hold the place steady. You and Staff Officer Yan must stay. I can take Jing Weiyuan with me."

Ma Chao, Xu Fan and other guerrilla fighters were waiting in the trenches for the Japanese to come over.

At this moment, the guerrilla scout came back with a complicated expression on his face. He stopped to catch his breath and said, "The Japanese troops are already retreating."

"Ah? Retreat?"

"Shouldn't it?"

"Why are the devils so cowardly today?"

……

Ma Chao and Xu Fan looked at each other in silence. Hu Dahe and the others were also worried about Jiang Jiyun and the other three.

"They will definitely be fine." Ma Chao muttered, not sure whether he was comforting them or himself.

"Captain, there are several Guojun officers over there. They want to talk to you." The person who brought the letter back reported.

The captain of the guerrillas nodded slightly to Ma Chao and others, then walked forward.

Captain Jiang followed the others with a confused look on his face, his heart full of doubts.

You know, although they have had some contact with the opposing troops, the relationship between them is far from familiar, so they really can't figure out why the other side came to them at this moment.

At this time, Ma Chao and his companions were squatting on the ground, chewing the hard black-flour cakes in their hands.

While eating, they whispered about how to go and pick up Jiang Jiyun and his group.

Captain Jiang led a few people to the trench and said to Ma Chao, "Captain Ma, these comrades are here to look for you."

When Jiang Wenshan saw people coming out of the trench, he introduced himself, "Hello, comrade. I am Jiang Jiyun's biological father and Jiang Wenming's cousin. I came here to ask if they are here?"

Ma Chao had just heard what Dong Duoyu said. He nodded slightly, then said solemnly, "Captain Jiang, please forgive me! They are not here at the moment."

When Jiang Wenshan heard that his cousin and daughter were not here to participate in the battle, his originally tense heartstrings relaxed a little. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Ma Chao add: "However, they have already headed to the Japanese airport. As for the specific situation, we have no idea at the moment."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenshan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he instantly became nervous again.

Ma Chao now didn't dare to contact Jiang Jiyun and the others easily, for fear that they were lurking in the dark at the most important time, and this contact would inadvertently expose their position. In that case, the loss would outweigh the gain and would harm them instead.

"What? You actually sent two kids, one big and one small, to carry out a dangerous mission?" Jiang Wenshan widened his eyes and looked at Ma Chao with anger on his face, as if his eyes could spit fire.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed Ma Chao's collar tightly, questioning him excitedly.

Dong Duoyu, standing in the trench, witnessed this scene in front of him. He was surprised to see that Jiang Wenshan, who was usually praised as a Confucian general and always behaved gently, would lose his composure at this moment.

All the good impressions and filters that I had of Confucian generals were completely shattered into pieces at this moment.

Ma Chao sighed inwardly, a look of helplessness flashing across his face.

He had originally planned that a fierce battle was about to break out here. If the situation got out of control to the point where it was difficult to manage, they would not be able to take care of the little guy with their small number of people.

What's more, he thought that it was not easy to enter the Japanese airport. It would take a long time of ambush and thinking of a way to get in. As a result, he didn't know how the Japanese troops were guarding it, so he let the three men sneak in.

He had guessed it when Xu Fan and his men came back more than three hours ago and said that the Japanese did not send an entire regiment. He asked Zhang An and Zhao Huashan to take a phone to the Japanese airport to inquire about the news.

Now he had no way to answer Captain Jiang's questioning, so Captain Jiang and the others quickly stepped forward to separate the two men to prevent them from fighting in public.

"Captain Jiang, don't be angry. Is it possible that Captain Ma doesn't want them to participate in the battle here and is using this excuse to send the children away?" Captain Jiang began to persuade.

Ma Chao looked at Captain Jiang in surprise. He saw Jiang Wenshan calm down and said, "That's what I thought before, but now it seems something has gone wrong."

Captain Jiang felt a headache looking at the honest Ma Chao. This might lead to another fight.

"Tell me what went wrong. Say everything you can." Jiang Wenshan asked after calming down.

"They went to the Japanese airport and did something, so the air raid that was supposed to happen this afternoon did not come, and not all of the Japanese regiments that were supposed to come here came." Ma Chaoyue said, and Jiang Wenshan's face became darker.
