Judging from the drifting time mentioned by the three wounded people, it is estimated that walking up the river bank less than twenty kilometers is the place where the other two bamboo rafts docked and encountered the Japanese devils.

Daolanxiang was indeed on the second bamboo raft. She and three other nurses were taking care of six seriously injured people. This bamboo raft was the largest. When the first bamboo raft in front was docked, the bamboo raft Daolanxiang was riding followed him and slowly moved closer to the shore. Because there was a village on the shore, she planned to stay in the village for a night and needed some medicine to treat the seriously injured officers and soldiers.

When the Japanese guns were firing at the first bamboo raft on the shore, Dao Lanxiang immediately lay on the bamboo raft alertly. When the bullets shot at the second bamboo raft, Dao Lanxiang had to turn over and roll into the river. She was a person who grew up by the Ruili River. She was very watery and could hold her breath for a minute or two before she could not reveal the water.

After falling into the water, she dived into the deep water and flowed downstream along the river bank. When she couldn't hold her breath, she lifted her head out of the water. Fortunately, she had been moving downward for one or two hundred meters in two minutes, turning a corner, just avoiding the Japanese devils' sight. She could still hear gunshots and shouts. It seemed that several nurses with her were captured by the Japanese. Crying and screaming came intermittently. She also saw three wounded people on the third bamboo raft.

She moved the bamboo raft and drifted down from the middle of the river. She wanted to shout, but she was worried that the Japanese devils would hear it, so she planned to go ashore and hide in the bamboo forest and woods on the shore. Just when she was about to climb ashore, several Japanese devils chased the bamboo raft and shot along the shore. Daolanxiang had to dive into the water again and try to hold her breath. It was not until the Japanese devils gave up chasing the bamboo raft and turned upwards that Daolanxiang suddenly emerged and breathed like a suffocation.

Daolanxiang climbed ashore and ran quickly into the bamboo forest on the shore to hide it. After all the sounds disappeared, it became dark. She didn't know where to go. She thought that if she ran towards the woods, even if she didn't meet the Japanese devils, she would be bitten to death by poisonous snakes or wild animals, and would even starve to death because she got lost. So she decided to walk down the river bank.

After walking for nearly an hour, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps in front of him. Dao Lanxiang thought it was a patrol team along the river bank of the Japanese devils, so she hurriedly hid in the bamboo forest on the shore and lay down.

Dong Limao still ordered Wang Jiagui's sniper squad to explore the way forward with light clothes. The top soldier was the least injured, so as a guide, he and Wang Jiagui and others trot upstream quickly.

Wang Jiagui is a veteran who has been through the battlefield. With his years of experience in killing enemies, he could almost feel whether there was danger a few dozen meters away. When he approached the bamboo forest covered by Daolanxiang, he seemed to feel someone lying in the bamboo forest. He raised his right hand and asked the sniper squad soldiers behind him to stop. The people behind him immediately crouched down, held their breath, and aimed their guns at the bamboo forest on the shore, ready to shoot at any time.

Wang Jiagui knelt on one knee, pricked up his ears and listened quietly for a while, as if he had determined the direction, and then slowly moved towards the bamboo forest, trying not to make any sound.

Dao Lanxiang crawled behind a bunch of bamboos, her heartbeat seemed to be about to pop out of her chest. She wanted to hold her breath and not breathe, but the more she wanted to be quiet, the more her heart was beating. With the help of the moonlight, she could see more than a dozen people wearing steel helmets and long spears crouching outside the bamboo forest. She thought it was a Japanese devil. She thought it was a bad idea. They might have discovered their hiding position and wanted to stand up and run deeper into the woods. But before she could get up, someone suddenly pressed the barrel of the gun behind her back.

Dao Lanxiang thought that it was over. If she had known that she would fall into the hands of the Japanese devils, she might as well commit suicide. She had heard that after being caught by the Japanese devils, women would usually be ravaged by those beasts, so she would have lived or died. When she thought that she would be ruined by a group of beasts, she thought that she might as well fight with the Japanese devils now. So she turned over without any gun barrel on her back.

"Don't move!" Wang Jiagui didn't expect that a person whose back was pushed by his gun could turn over. He was shocked. So he knelt down on one knee, pressed Daolanxiang's chest with his knees against Daolanxiang's just turned over, and at the same time took out a saber and pressed Daolanxiang's throat, but he felt that the position where his knee was pressing was soft.

When Dao Lanxiang turned around, she heard the word "Don't move" and realized that she was a Chinese, but she couldn't speak, and her chest was pressed tightly by Wang Jiagui's knees, and her throat was pressed against the sharp tip of the knife.

Wang Jiagui saw it clearly this time: "Nurse Dao... are you Dao Lanxiang?" He put away his saber and stood up.

Before Dao Lanxiang recognized Wang Jiagui, she sat up and asked, "Which part of you are from?"

"I am Wang Jiagui, Ertiao, don't you remember me?" Wang Jiagui squatted down and said to Dao Lanxiang.

Dao Lanxiang then realized that it was Wang Jiagui. She jumped up and asked loudly: "Where is Brother Dong? Where is Brother Dong?"

"Shh..." Wang Jiagui raised his right index finger and placed it on his lips: "Speak quietly, the company commander is behind."

When Dong Limao and the others caught up, Wang Jiagui and Dao Lanxiang happened to walk out of the bamboo forest.

"Company Commander, see who I found?" Wang Jiagui walked to Dong Limao with a smile, followed by Dao Lanxiang.

Dong Limao also found it strange, why Wang Jiagui and his people stopped here and stopped leaving, and planned to come forward to ask clearly what was going on.

"Brother Dong..." Dao Lanxiang felt sad when she saw Dong Limao, and almost couldn't help but rush into Dong Limao's arms and burst into tears.

"Lanxiang..." Dong Limao heard Dao Lanxiang's voice. He ran a few steps forward, grabbed Dao Lanxiang's shoulder with both hands, and asked, "How are you? The Japanese didn't do you, right?" Dong Limao's question seemed to care about the most was whether Dao Lanxiang was ruined by the Japanese.

"Brother Dong, I'm fine, I'm fine, oh... you hurt me." Dao Lanxiang replied, unable to help but scream, and her bones were almost numb by Dong Limao's big hands.

Dong Limao quickly let go, pulled her hand and asked, "Lanxiang, tell me quickly, how did you escape the Japanese and come here?"

So Daolanxiang simply talked about how she escaped.

After Daolanxiang finished speaking, Wang Jiagui interrupted: "Company Commander, we have found Nurses Dao. Should we let the brothers return the same way? I guess there are many Japanese in front of us. With more than 100 of us, we may suffer a loss."

"Brother Dong, and a few sisters with me, have been caught by the Japanese devils. Go and save them, otherwise... or... they... will..." Dao Lanxiang grabbed Dong Limao's arm. When she thought that the nurses with her would be ruined by the Japanese devils, her heart felt as uncomfortable as if she had been ruined, so she told Dong Limao with tears in her eyes.

Dong Limao knew in his heart that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to rescue General Qi Xueqi from the Japanese, so he was also considering whether he should retreat. After hearing Dao Lanxiang's words, he felt that he could not ignore this matter. If he took the spy company to retreat like this, he would feel uneasy in the future. It would be fine if he didn't know that his compatriots and sisters were tortured by the Japanese devils, how could he not save him when he saw death?

Dong Limao turned around and glanced at Pan Guangzu, Zhao Yong and others behind him, and asked: "Do you think we should retreat?"

Gou Hao had seen with his own eyes how the Japanese devils abused women. After hearing Dao Lanxiang's words, he was already so angry that he was: "Company Commander, you can't let the Japanese devils abuse our sisters!"

"Instructor Gou is right! Company Commander, take our brothers and fight with the Japanese!" Zhang Dali also echoed.

Dong Limao wanted to hear Zhao Yong's opinion the most, so he focused his eyes on Zhao Yong's face.

"Brothers and I, listen to you, the company commander." Zhao Yong understood the meaning revealed in Dong Limao's eyes when he looked at him, and answered calmly.

Dong Limao nodded firmly and said, "Okay! Then let's do a big fight!" He looked at the soldiers surrounding him again, and then said, "Brothers, our sisters have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Maybe they are being abused by those beasts at this time! Do you think, can we agree?"

"Don't agree..." Almost everyone answered firmly.

"The many Japanese in front of us are several times more than us. Are you afraid of death?" Dong Limao asked again.

"Not afraid of death..." Another answer was unanimous.

"Okay! I'm a genital!" Dong Limao knew that his morale was strong and there was no need to say anything, so he ordered Wang Jiagui: "Erzhao, you will lead the sniper squad to continue exploring the way forward. After discovering the village where the Japanese settled, send someone back to report immediately. Don't act rashly."

Although Wang Jiagui was a little unhappy and thought it was not worth killing the spy and his brother's life for a few women, since Dong Limao decided to fight the Japanese, he had no objection and answered readily: "Yes!" The people who brought the sniper squad left first.

Dong Limao continued: "The purpose of this battle is to rescue the arrested sisters. They must be ruthless, accurate and fast. After rescuing the arrested people, they must quickly return to the same route, gather at the parking spot, and strive to return to the joint place before dawn. Do you understand?"

"Understood……"

"Okay! Speed ​​up the marching! Go!" After Dong Limao said that, the company began to run forward. He grabbed Dao Lanxiang and asked, "Lanxiang, can you still leave?"

Dao Lanxiang nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Brother Dong, I won't drag you down. Please give me a gun."

Dong Limao handed the submachine gun on his body to Daolanxiang and said, "The battle begins, follow me closely and don't run around."

Daolanxiang took the submachine gun and nodded and replied: "Yes."
