Age of Rebirth

As the sun set, the twilight engulfed this small village that was burned by the flames of war. The Chutian team cleared out a place for more than 50 people to rest in a relatively intact private house.

After finishing these tasks and patting his hungry stomach, the branch leader came over and asked for instructions: "Detachment leader, do the troops need to hide? The soldiers haven't had a serious meal in a day!"

Chu Tian looked at the team leader and said, "Is there any need to ask? Let's wear tiger skins on our bodies and do it with great fanfare. Let the soldiers have a hot meal. If we are lucky, we may catch a big fish!"

The squad leader agreed happily, and the special forces members collected some firewood nearby, lit a few piles of bonfires, took out the dry food they carried with them, and ate and drank sweetly with the cold water in the kettle. Clusters of blazing bonfires are particularly eye-catching.

Just less than three or four miles away from the village, the marching ranks of the Japanese army continued to move forward. The Japanese officers' low-pitched orders, the hurried footsteps of the Japanese soldiers, mixed with the roar of trucks and tanks , Clearly, all the vehicles of the Japanese army were lit up with dazzling lights, like the eyes of the devil in the dark night. [

This is a strange feeling. Surrounded by countless Japanese soldiers, the enemy who is fighting for life and death is close at hand, but the special forces members are not nervous at all, but the low or high voices of the conversation are all proficient The Japanese spoken by a real Japanese soldier or officer would have a pure Tokyo accent.

Chu Tian didn't intend to hide his head and show his tail. He wore the amulet of the No. 14 Army Staff Headquarters Field Inspection Team. After tidying up, he shouted: "Radio operator, immediately set up a radio station to communicate with the division headquarters. I want to report to the division commander in person."

The telegraph operator's fingers tapped the keys dexterously, and the sound of "tick-tick-tick" was exceptionally clear. Not far from the countless Japanese army brigades marching, one of them was burned by the flames of war in the Battle of Luzon Island. In the small village in the village, Chutian's first information was sent out.

Yangon, at [-] o'clock in the evening on June [-]th, in the division commander's office at the rear headquarters of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli rubbed his dizzy eyes, moved his sore cervical spine, raised his head from a pile of telegrams, Liu Xinlan gave He poured a glass of water, walked behind him with concern, and gently massaged his shoulders. Tang Qiuli closed his eyes slightly contentedly, but his twitching eyebrows from time to time revealed his restless heart.

Looking at Tang Qiuli's slightly tired face, Liu Xinlan felt distressed in her heart, and said, "Qiuli, it's already past eight o'clock, and you haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll go to the cooking class to get you something Eat? How about, when Sister Xue comes over later, she can't blame me for not taking good care of you?"

Tang Qiuli smiled, turned his hands away, put his arms around Liu Xinlan's slender waist, sighed softly, and said, "Xinlan, I don't have an appetite, and you know that what I'm most worried about right now is the safety of Chutian and the others. The team, all four of them have sent back messages, only Chutian and the others have received all the news in nearly four days, I am really worried, Xinlan, I regret it now, and approved Chutian and their reconnaissance plan!"

Liu Xinlan didn't speak, but the movements of her hands became more gentle. She couldn't get her hands on this matter, let alone share it with her man. What she could do was to take care of his life.

Tang Qiuli seemed to suddenly think of something, and wrapped his arms around Liu Xinlan's slender waist even tighter, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, and said, "Xinlan, since she sent troops abroad, she has been busy, so I have to give your affairs to you. Forgot, you still have more than a year to graduate from your studies at the Guangzhou Military Academy, right? I have also thought about it these days, as far as the current situation in the South Pacific war is concerned, we can only stay out of it."

"For quite a long period of time, the army will not have major military operations, and you can't waste your studies. My plan is that you will return to Guangzhou tomorrow to continue your studies. Xinlan, Tang Qiuli's woman, can't Whatever you do, please give up halfway, just yesterday, your dean sent a telegram to ask when you will return to the academy, your group of intern students have been back for more than a year!"

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli felt a chill on his neck, quickly opened his eyes, and pulled Liu Xinlan in front of him. In the girl's pair of water-cut eyes, tears were streaming down her fair face, and Liu Xinlan was crying.

Tang Qiuli hurriedly asked distressedly: "What's the matter, Xinlan? Are you crying while talking?"

Liu Xinlan's tears couldn't stop flowing down, she sobbed and said: "Qiu Li, I can't bear to leave you. It's been more than a year, and I'm used to being by your side every day. Do you want to drive me away?"

Tang Qiuli's head was getting big at that time, and he deliberately joked: "Silly girl, she is still a second lieutenant officer, she cries at every turn, and she is not afraid that the staff will see the joke. This is how I think about it. You haven't completed the military academy. Studying is a pity after all. After you graduate, won’t you be able to come back to me again? Besides, my future wife, Tang Qiuli, dropped out of school just to be by my side. Is my teacher cheating on public affairs for personal gain? suspect?"

At this moment, Mei Xue carried a few military lunch boxes and stepped into the office. Seeing Liu Xinlan's pear blossom and rainy appearance, she hurriedly put the lunch box on the desk, first gave Tang Qiuli a hard look, and pulled After Liu Xinlan asked: "Xinlan, did this guy bully you?"

Tang Qiuli smiled wryly, Liu Xinlan was sobbing, and repeated what Tang Qiuli said just now, Mei Xue showed a troubled expression, from a personal point of view, she and Liu Xinlan were taking care of her husband, so she felt relieved, but her husband said The words are also very reasonable. Didn't I just study at the Dingbian Military Academy for more than half a year after I got married, and after graduation, I have been by my husband's side all the time.

Mei Xue understands Liu Xinlan's mood very well, "If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?" Using these words to persuade, the little girl who is obsessed with her husband is more tasteless than plain water. At the beginning, she didn't Do you feel the same way?

Mei Xue didn't know what to say, so she could only hold Liu Xinlan in her arms, caressing her round shoulders to comfort her, at the same time, with big black and white eyes, she looked at her husband inquiringly, the intention of begging was obvious.

Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with sadness, and then she shook her head firmly, she can't be selfish and affect Liu Xinlan's life, if she can't calm down now, this girl will never leave again!

Mei Xue sighed softly in her heart, rationally, she supported her husband's decision, but emotionally, Mei Xue was also reluctant to leave Liu Xinlan, and after spending more than a year together day and night, she was very careful about this little girl who was sometimes cunning and sometimes gentle I like it, the relationship between the two is closer than sisters, deep down, Mei Xue has already regarded Liu Xinlan as her own sister. [

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurried over with some telegrams in his hand. Seeing such a scene in the division commander's office, he also guessed that he was the one who saw the telegram from the director of the Guangzhou Military Academy first, and secretly regretted it. Hey, it's not the right time to come, the teacher is here sad about parting, and he stepped in, what's the matter?U-turn is necessary to avoid.

Tang Qiuli saw it at a glance, and Zhao Yuhe, who wanted to avoid it, shouted: "Yuhe, don't hide, come in if you have anything to do!" Wipe away tears, together with Mei Xue, opened a few military lunch boxes, the aroma of steaming food permeated the office, one could tell it was Mei Xue's cooking skills, Mei Xue's news office was a big deal, dinner was served in the division When I was in the cafeteria, I saw that neither my husband nor Liu Xinlan came to eat, so I knew that he was working overtime, and that girl Xinlan had to accompany him.

With the help of the pots and stoves of the cooking class of the division headquarters, I carefully cooked a few small dishes for Tang Qiuli and Liu Xinlan, and hurriedly sent them over. Just happened to encounter this scene, Zhao Yuhe smelled the aroma of the food, and asked in surprise. He said: "Why, sir, you haven't had dinner yet? But, Director Mei's craftsmanship is undeniable, much better than the cooks in the canteen of the division's headquarters!"

Mei Xue smiled lightly, but Liu Xinlan's heart moved, she thought to herself: "In the future, I have to learn how to cook. When Sister Xue is too busy, Qiuli can also eat delicious meals!"

Tang Qiuli started to devour it, and said to Zhao Yuhe, "Why Yuhe, I'm hungry, let's eat together. By the way, Yuhe, do you have any urgent telegram?"

Zhao Yuhe did not answer whether to eat, but said: "Master, this is the latest information from the special warfare squad that has infiltrated Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi!"

Tang Qiuli stopped his chopsticks, and asked with some hope, "Yuhe, is there still no news from Chutian and the others?" Zhao Yuhe shook his head silently, and he saw a flash of worry in the teacher's eyes.

Tang Qiuli went on to say: "Yuhe, let me tell you the information of several groups. I also want to know that after the surrender of the U.S. Army and the Dutch Indian Army, the Japanese army took inner actions. The battle has been over for two days. Judging by the normal situation, the main force of the Japanese army should go to the Luzon Island battlefield!"

Zhao Yuhe said: "Master, this time, your judgment was completely wrong. According to intelligence, the No. 15th Army, 21th Army, 25st Army, and [-]th Army of the Japanese Army occupying the above-mentioned area did not rush Withdrew from the above-mentioned battlefields and joined the Luzon battlefield, but began to search for scattered US and Dutch-Indian soldiers in the occupied areas."

"Strengthen local law and order, and wantonly arrest laborers, build various military facilities, and take over various industrial and mining enterprises, especially oil fields, coal mines, and metal mines, etc., involving strategic materials and other industries, all of which are subject to military control!"

Tang Qiuli put down his chopsticks, and his first feeling was that it was not normal for the Japanese to do this! ! ! !
