Chapter 173 Rescue

The charge of Yuchang echoed in the valley, overwhelming the disgusting gunshots and the chilling cry. For Wu Fei and the others, no sound was better than it at this critical moment.

There were not many people surviving the village, so they did not pursue the Japanese and puppet troops in panic and retreated, but not everyone just watched them retreat. Wu Fei was an exception. After the grenade he threw exploded, he broke away with Xiaotong holding his hand, pulled out the half-parted dagger from his leg, and rushed out of the hiding room.

Xiaole also wanted to rush out, but Xiaotong was wary at this time, hugged her tightly, and comforted her: "The third master was injured before. Let's go see him first. Wu Fei is so powerful, there will be no problem."

In the rebuilt hall, the Sanding House was panting and slumped on the chair like mud. His injury was not serious. The bullet penetrated his right shoulder and was injured by a small piece of grenade on his back. For veterans like him, such injuries could only be considered minor injuries. After bandage, he was still a fierce combat power. He looked tired and shocked now. Like Wu Fei and the others, all the ammunition was exhausted. If it weren't for the timely sound of the military call, he would have been ready to fight with the Japanese. If he could pull one cushion, he would have pulled one more. He would never have thought about suicide.

As Wu Fei expected, the Eighth Division Independent Regiment came. He just used the broken knife left by Uncle Guo to end the life of a Japanese man. When he saw Company Commander Wu led his troops to cut off the retreat of the Japanese puppet army. Unfortunately, the enemy who was intercepted was only the last enemy, with no more than twenty people in total, and almost all of them were puppet soldiers. The only Japanese soldier was slaughtered by Wu Fei.

When Captain Shi walked into the cabin hall, the third leader was in tears. He had rescued others several times, including Company Commander Wu and Zhao Dachun, all owed him his kindness, but when he was truly rescued by others, he could feel this excitement after being rescued.

Ermashan became like this, and it was meaningless to stay again, which made Xiaole still reluctant to leave, but she also knew that she had missed it once and had no reason for her private love to let less than twenty brothers stay with her to experience today's situation again.

"The Liu family, brothers Xiaole, brothers Wu Fei, we all blamed us for receiving the information too late. If we could arrive early, there would be much less casualties in Ermashan." The reproachful words of the regiment leader surprised the San family and the others. No commander of any unit apologized to others after rescued others.

"Chief, this is my fault. Actually, I had obtained this information yesterday and conveyed it to my liaison officer. However, because the Japanese were too cunning, they actually took measures to lock down the city, which made us unable to send the information out in time." Yang Guofeng took the initiative to take the responsibility. Although his direct boss was Secretary Tan, a high-level leader like Chief Shi could also command him.

"Captain Shi, Brother Yang, stop talking. This time, these people from Ermashan have survived, all thanks to the help of the army. We will repay this kindness." The third leader spoke out. This was really from his heart. If he came a few minutes later, including him and Xiaole, they would probably be corpses on the ground.

"Director Liu, you're out of your opinion. In the past, our anti-Japanese armed forces in the Eighth Division received a lot of assistance. If we really settle the accounts, we may still owe a lot. But..." Speaking of this, Commander Shi suddenly changed his mind: "Although we have severely defeated the Japanese today, they did not hurt their vitality. In a few days, they will definitely make a comeback. I want to know Liu's family, brothers Xiaole, brothers Wu Fei, what are your plans?"

This sentence happened to ask Xiaole's thoughts. After the battle, she finally understood that Ermashan was not solid and unbreakable. A day ago, she was full of confidence and wanted to live quietly with all her brothers and Wu Fei. But now, she had only one thought left, that is, to preserve the remaining brothers of the twenty-six, and to preserve the roots of Ermashan and even her father's old army.

Before the Third Head Office spoke to Wu Fei, she stood up first and made a series of gestures to Captain Shi. Xiaotong also translated her words when Captain Shi was about to ask for his meaning: "Captain Shi, can we let people go to Zhaojiazhuang first? If we think the name is inappropriate, we can also join the army first."

"Of course, we are a family. Warmly welcome all the heroes of Ermashan to join us!" Captain Shi's words got into Xiaole's thoughts. Isn't Xiaole's words the result that Captain Shi wants?

Wu Fei glanced at Xiaole. He didn't expect that Xiaole would take the initiative to join the Eighth Route Army. This was unimaginable in the past. Although he didn't understand why Xiaole had to guard the three-point land of Erma Mountain before, it was very gratifying to see him change now. At least his approach was to protect the surviving brothers.

The Sandangjia and Brother Shan naturally would not object to Xiaole's opinion, but they still looked at each other, obviously there was still a little worry, but this worry could not be expressed.

This time when she went down the mountain, Xiaole was no longer reluctant to give up the copycat. She lit these houses that had only been repaired for a while, which could be regarded as burying the last trace of attachment in her heart with her own hands.

After arriving in Zhaojiazhuang, Wu Fei realized why the Baishishan guerrillas did not appear in the rescue of Ermashan. It turned out that Secretary Tan and Dachun led the Baishishan guerrillas and the Eighth Division militia to feint the attack on Yangzhuang watchtower, successfully restraining most of the Japanese and instantly promoted the successful rescue of the Independent Regiment. In the process of rescuing Ermashan, the regiment Shi did not completely block the Japanese retreat, and also allowed most of the Japanese puppet troops to escape. It was not that the Independent Regiment could not block the gap, but with the current strength of the Independent Regiment, even if these Japanese puppet troops were eaten, they would suffer severe damage. This was an unbearable result for a new army that had just been established.

In fact, when he was going down the mountain, Wu Fei had already guessed the reason. After hearing Captain Shi telling these frankly without any concealment, he thought for a moment and realized that such a choice was very correct. This silent lesson really made him learn a lot.
