Pudong.

May 17th, cloudy and rainy.

Pudong, which had not seen rain for half a month, was hit by heavy rain.

Flags were hung high on the streets. Han Chunxue looked at the flags on the streets, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then his pace quickened a lot.

As they walked, they heard Japanese patrol cars broadcasting on the streets. Some people in kimonos clapped their hands after hearing the news, with smiles on their faces.

Newspapers were constantly being distributed, one after another, to passersby for free.

Some accepted, while others refused service.

Some people stopped walking when they heard the sound from the patrol car, and walked on the wet, flooded streets as if they had lost their souls. Others, after hearing the sound, clenched their fists tightly at the street corner, and their eyes in the darkness looked at the patrol car with murderous intent.

Han Chunxue walked to the bottom of a street, pushed the door and entered the National Salvation Newspaper Office, holding the newspaper in his hand with a gloomy look in his eyes.

When she saw Xu Lan in the room, she walked over with a newspaper in her hand.

"Sister Xu Lan, General Zhang of the 33rd Army...has died." Han Chunxue clenched his fists, his face flushed with anger.

Now the entire Pudong, or any area controlled by the Japanese, is spreading this news.

They were widely publicizing the progress of the Japanese attack and the results they had achieved.

"I will die to show my determination and let the whole country know that there are still people who resist on this land."

Xu Lan spoke with regret and sighed softly. It was obvious that she had known some of the news a long time ago. Being busy was just an appearance, which was just a cover for her inner anxiety.

"Sister Xu Lan, the Japanese offensive across the country is becoming increasingly powerful, and the newspapers also reported that Jin Chayi has begun the second step of the cage strategy, mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress the base in the cage."

Han Chunxue exhaled lightly, and the worried expression on her face became more serious.

Now the whole country knows that there is a team in northwest Shanxi that is attacking the Japanese strongholds and fortresses everywhere.

Whether it was the battle in Ping'an County or the battle in Qiufeng Pavilion, it made her heart surge with emotion.

Now that the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army Group had died, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, the general had died in the battlefield, not to mention that Commander Lin had personally intervened and kept sending high-profile messages to inform the whole country.

"The more the Japanese spread propaganda like this, the more determined we must be in our beliefs." It would be a lie for Xu Lan to say she wasn't worried.

But in this era, nothing is easy.

After Xu Lan finished speaking, she handed the lists to Han Chunxue.

"These are the supplies we collected during this period. Please sort them out and send them to Boss Xu."

"Ah."

......

Insects are chirping freely and the moon is hanging high in the sky.

The wind blew the leaves gently, and the stars and the bright moon hung high in the dark sky.

A train is moving fast. The night sky is starry and the bright moonlight is falling.

The rumbling sound of the train rang in Wang Jiantang's ears, and Wang Jiantang pushed open the door of the train.

"Commander, the Japs' clear-coded telegram says that Commander-in-Chief of the 33rd Army Group was killed in action."

Wang Jiantang's tone was filled with regret. He had not expected that the leader of an army would be at the front line, and was blocking the enemy with the determination to die.

Wang Jiantang felt indescribably complicated about this resolute decision to die.

"Yeah." Lin Tianchen took the telegram, holding it in his hand, his eyes moved slightly.

He naturally knew the purpose of the Japanese's clear-text telegram.

"The Japanese are probably promoting this battle vigorously," Wang Jiantang added.

Lin Tianchen's expression turned cold when he heard this.

"I want to take advantage of the situation and win it in one fell swoop." Lin Tianchen looked at the map in front of him and said seriously.

The Japanese wanted to take advantage of the victory of this battle to advance straight towards Wuchang. However, Lin Tianchen's gaze did not fall on Wuchang, but looked at the location of Beizhen Station on the map, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's not easy for the Japanese to gain momentum. Let Chen Qiang find a way to speed up. We must take over Beizhen Station as soon as possible. Also, help me find Zou Min..." Lin Tianchen said in a cold tone.

After all, the Japanese are from a barbaric country. They don’t understand the feelings of their hometown and don’t understand what their homeland means to them.

This means that the Shu people could travel thousands of miles to the Jin-Cha-Yi region, and millions of people would be mobilized at a time.

Since the Japanese wanted to make a fuss about this matter, he had to reach Beizhen as quickly as possible and take over Beizhen Station.

"Yes."

Wang Jiantang immediately signaled, and a soldier went to inform Zou Min.

Not long after, Zou Min and Luo Wensheng quickly appeared in the train compartment where Lin Tianchen was.

"Commander." Zou Min saluted.

"How much do you know about the guerrillas operating along this line?" Lin Tianchen pointed to the location of Beizhen Station on the map, drew a line with his hand, and asked.

Hearing this, Zou Min leaned closer to the map and spoke quickly, "Captain, there is only one guerrilla force in this area, and it only has about four or five hundred people."

"Because Beizhen Station is surrounded by mines, they were very strict in clearing the area, even burning down several nearby villages."

"The leader of this guerrilla unit is Zhao Jinxue. She had been studying in Pudong before. Three years ago, she returned from Pudong and formed a guerrilla unit. They have been operating behind enemy lines. She is as capable as any man."

Zou Min introduced the guerrilla force to Lin Tianchen in detail.

Educated? Lin Tianchen listened quietly and turned to look at Fang Bailu.

"Is there a white cross among the seized supplies?" Lin Tianchen suddenly asked.

"Yes." Fang Bailu nodded.

"Hang these white crosses immediately on the outside of the vehicle, without reducing speed, and tell the soldiers to pay attention to safety."

.......

...

mountain city.

There are green trees and flower beds distributed in an orderly manner in front of a gate.

At the main gate, the sun is high in the sky.

In an office inside the building, a middle-aged woman in casual clothes put away a piece of paper after hearing footsteps outside the room.

"Director Shen, the death squad has retrieved General Zhang's body and is transporting it back to the mountain city." A man in military uniform handed a document to Shen Mei with respect.

When Shen Mei took the document, she looked at the contents on it, her expression became solemn, and she sighed softly.

In fact, when Shen Mei heard that he would fight to the death, she had already guessed what he was thinking.

"But the price is too high. An entire army's general was sacrificed on the battlefield when they could have evacuated." Chen Zhongfu sighed. He knew that if he retreated, he could definitely survive.

"He used his death to defend the backbone he had worked so hard to straighten."
