Agents of the Republic of China

Regardless of the wound on his hand, Deng Xianfeng grabbed Lin Xiaotang's trouser legs tightly, and cried, "Mr. Lin, it's my fault. I'm obsessed with ghosts. I'm afraid of death. I lied about the military situation. Shangfeng didn't even order to retreat. Order, I retreated without authorization, but I am really scared, I still have a wife and children at home, I can't die!"

Lin Xiaotang knelt down, grabbed Commander Deng by the collar, looked at him coldly, and pointed to Zhang Yaoguo and others standing beside him, "You have a wife and children, don't they? You are a deserter because you are afraid of death. But have you ever thought about the thousands of brothers under your command, the leader of your regiment ran away with oil on their feet, what would they do? When the Japanese came, would they have to wait to die? There is also Changde City behind us , there are still [-]** brothers guarding there, what should they do, run away with you? If everyone is like you, then what's the point of fighting this battle, everyone put down their guns and wait Come and kill the little devil. Tell me, okay?"

Deng Xianfeng didn't say a word, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he just kowtowed vigorously.

Lin Xiaotang stood up and glanced at the officers and soldiers around, "Brothers, we can escape, but where can we escape? The three eastern provinces fell, we can escape to Beiping; Peking falls, we can escape to Nanjing; Nanjing falls, we can escape Flee to Hunan; but after the fall of Hunan, where else can we escape, and then retreat, that is Chongqing, after Chongqing? Is there any place for us to go? The Japanese knife is already on our necks. There can be one result, and that is the subjugation of the country and the extermination of the species!"

Lin Xiaotang pulled out the pistol from the holster on his waist, looked down at Commander Deng who was still kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, "Commander Deng, the enemy is at hand and the country is in crisis. It doesn't matter if you run away, but the consequences are very likely. It is the defeat of the Changde defense line behind you, and even the entire Sixth War Zone. Brother, I am responsible for supervising the battle. I can only say sorry. Don’t worry, I will report to the headquarters and say that you died for the country. I will leave you with a good reputation behind you."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaotang closed his eyes, and fired two shots at Deng Xianfeng who was lying on the ground.

Deng Xianfeng did not make any sound, and fell face down in the soil of the mountain road, blood slowly seeping into the soil under him.

The faces of more than 100 soldiers who followed Deng Xianfeng down the mountain were ashen. They lowered their heads and peeked at the body of Commander Deng with their eyes from time to time.

Lin Xiaotang put the pistol back into the holster, and looked at them with piercing eyes, "Brothers, don't be afraid, you are just bewitched by Deng Xianfeng, the big battle is coming, I will not treat you like Deng Xianfeng. The twisted melon It’s not sweet, I didn’t expect you to go up the mountain with me to fight devils, I just want to say, as a man with a handle, think about it carefully, the things you **** do are what a man can do Yes? Yes, you may be like Deng Xianfeng, you are afraid of death, you are worried about your parents, wives and children at home, but please also think about it, if our soldiers do not block the Japanese, what will happen to your relatives at home? They can flee around like bereaved dogs, and when one day the country is completely occupied, where else can they go? They can only be ravaged and slaughtered by the Japanese. At that time, they will scold you and scold you for not being worthy of being a Chinese Communist. I scold you for not even being able to do the basic duty of guarding the soil as a soldier."

Lin Xiaotang straightened his body, faced the mountain road and shouted loudly: "After I finished speaking, you all think clearly, if you are willing to follow us back to the mountain to fight devils, we will welcome you with both hands; Let us see you! But before you leave, remember to hand over the guns and bullets to the brothers who are willing to go up the mountain. China lacks everything, but there is no shortage of real men!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaotang walked up the mountain in stride, followed closely by Datou, Huoyan and others.

Zhang Yaoguo looked at the more than 100 soldiers who were at a loss, turned his head and spat at them contemptuously, turned around, and waved violently at his subordinates, "Brothers, follow the commander up the mountain to fight devils!"

The remaining hundred or so soldiers froze in place, looking at each other with ashamed expressions, and a voice suddenly burst out from the crowd, "Brothers, I am ashamed to throw you at grandma's house today. Little Japan is also two Arms and two legs, I'm afraid of farts, at worst, I will bury the hundred and eighty catties in Deshan, at least I can enter the Hall of Martyrs!"

Everyone responded loudly and ran towards the mountain together.

……

The West Wharf of Bangkok, Thailand, is sunny. Although the temperature is lower than that of the rainy season, it still feels like a hot summer.Fortunately, this place is located in the lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River and close to the north side of Bangkok Bay. The continuous sea breeze passes through the sky above the river and the plain, blowing every corner of the place. At the same time, you can enjoy the coolness brought by the sea breeze.

The violent advance of the Japanese army across the Pacific Ocean obviously failed to affect everything here. All the people still work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Every day, ships from all over the world will dock here, or sail to different places full of passengers. destination.Compared with the neighboring Philippines and other places that have been ravaged by the Japanese army, this place is like a paradise.

Early in the morning, the pier was crowded with all kinds of people, including dark-skinned locals, most of whom were dock workers, and almost all of them were bare-chested. There is no difficulty; there are also foreign nationals who have fled from the Philippines and Singapore, most of them are British and American nationals. Because of the Japanese attack like a storm, in just three months, all countries in the Pacific region The colonies of the country fell one after another, and Thailand became the first choice for many expatriates when they fled.

On the pier, a passenger ship flying the Spanish flag docked slowly. Before the sailors on the side of the ship had time to put the gangway on the shore, hawkers, drivers and porters flocked to the pier. The sailors on the ship tied the cable to the stone pier on the shore of the pier, and then they couldn't wait to use the local language or English to start enthusiastically soliciting business.

In less than an hour, almost all the passengers on the ship got off, and the side of the passenger ship became quiet immediately. The sailors on the ship began to quickly replenish coal, oil, food and fresh water. It can be seen that they are only here for a short stay. Soon after, the passenger ship will go to its next destination.

At this time, two brand new black Pontiac sedans drove in from outside the pier. When the car entered the gate of the pier, the police guarding the pier glanced at it, but suddenly found that the car was marked with a royal guest. They wanted to step forward to question The two policemen hurriedly stopped, one stood at attention, and saluted the two cars respectfully.The people in the two cars simply waved their hands and drove straight to the berth where the Spanish passenger ship was on the pier.

The two policemen did not dare to neglect, and immediately greeted the colleagues who were chatting in the duty room. Six or seven policemen rushed over, waving their batons to drive aside the vendors who were trying to approach, and then dispersed, straight stood near the two cars, conscientiously getting up to work.

A few young people in shirts got out of the car. Compared with the short and thin locals, they were much taller. It could be seen that they should be local Chinese in Thailand, and their waists were bulging. , obviously with a weapon.

One of them opened the door of the first car, and Dong Jiacheng, who was wearing a pure white stand-up collar shirt, got out of the car. After getting out of the car, he walked to the second car, opened the door, and helped Dong Zhennan get out of the car.

Dong Zhennan pushed his hand away, "Let go, I haven't reached the point where I need someone to help me when I walk!"

Dong Jiacheng smiled, followed closely behind, and several young people behind him unloaded their luggage from the car.

Dong Jiacheng accompanied Dong Zhennan to the pier, and Dong Zhennan urged him again, "Jiacheng, you must remember the relationship I told you. You Jiang Bo are also in Chongqing. If there is anything you don't understand, ask him more. Xiao Qi must have entrusted everything to him before he left, and you are going this time to use our relationship in Chongqing to fully cooperate and ensure that Xiao Qi escapes safely."

Dong Jiacheng nodded solemnly, "Father, don't worry, Xiao Qi is our own family and our leader. I will do my best, so don't worry too much."

Dong Zhennan sighed, "Ever since I heard the news about Xiaoqi's accident, your sister seemed to have gone crazy, and I felt distressed when I saw it. I didn't even dare to tell her about your trip to Chongqing this time. rely on you!"

Dong Jiacheng nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly, a car drove in from outside the pier, and the car braked to a stop not far from Dong Zhennan and his son. Before the car stopped, a man jumped out and hurried to the Beside Dong Zhennan, "Master, it's not good, something happened at home!"

Dong Zhennan's face changed, "What's the matter, what happened at home?"

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Miss is gone!"

Dong Zhennan heard this, and grabbed the man's skirt, "Why did she disappear? Didn't I order her to be locked up in the bungalow in the garden? She is guarded 24 hours a day, why did she disappear suddenly?"

"After you and the eldest young master went out in the morning, when it was time to change shifts, the brothers went to the backyard to take over the shift, but when they arrived, they found that the people in charge of taking care of the young lady were all knocked out and tied tightly, and the young lady disappeared. , Also, Miss’s bodyguard, the local Muay Thai boy Chai Ba, is also missing. The Second Young Master and the wives asked me to inform you immediately that people have been sent everywhere to find their whereabouts.”

Dong Zhennan stomped his feet resentfully, "You damn girl, don't you think the house is not messy enough?"

Dong Zhennan gave a few hasty instructions, and hurried back to the car to go home.

Although Dong Jiacheng was worried about his sister, but the passenger ship was about to set sail, he had to ask the servants at home to notify him as soon as there was news, and then he brought two bodyguards to carry the luggage on board.

The captain of the passenger ship was an authentic Spanish old man named Lopez. Hearing that Dong Jiacheng had boarded the ship and checked into the VIP cabin of the passenger ship, he hurried over to meet him.

Lopez's passenger ship often travels between Hong Kong and Thailand. During this period, he made a lot of money from the Dong family, so he is a business partner of the Dong family's ocean-going passenger transport industry. This time, Dong Jiacheng took his passenger ship to Hong Kong.Since it was Dong Jiacheng, the big beneficiary, Captain Lopez was very enthusiastic, and he chatted with Dong Jiacheng for nearly an hour, which made Dong Jiacheng tireless.

It was so easy to wait until Lopez was about to say goodbye and go out, but he seemed to remember something again, turned around and asked in English with a smile on his face: "Mr. Dong, your companions have also boarded the ship. If you want to meet them, I'd be happy to lead the way for you."

Dong Jiacheng was taken aback, "Partner? We are the three of us going to Hong Kong this time. Where did you get your partner from?"

Lopez was also taken aback, "Impossible, your secretary personally booked your boat ticket, and I received a call from your company this morning, saying that you want to add three more boat tickets, and that you want to meet Mr. Dong You went to Hong Kong together, that's right!"
