For Zhang Xian, this was really a frightening moment. Even in the long years to come, there was no experience like this that made him feel like walking on thin ice. Although he was not the one being arrested, it was even more uncomfortable than being arrested himself. This was all his fault, he cursed himself like this thousands of times.
Negotiations resumed, and the leader agreed to change, and also asked Han Qi to provide him with an accessory for the steam engine. That accessory was sold in Changde and was not difficult to buy, so Han Qi agreed after weighing it again and again.
Time passed by little by little. Looking at Tian Xiuxiu holding her son on the bow deck, Zhang Xian felt like a knife was cutting in his heart. Before dark, the steam engine of the small steamer was finally repaired. Looking at the black smoke bursting out of the chimney, both Zhang Xian and Han Qi knew that the critical moment had arrived.
The two sides were just like exchanging prisoners on the battlefield, allowing two people to run from the other side's position back to their own position at the same time. Here, Tian Xiuxiu had to hold her son from the boat and run along the ferry's pedals back to the embankment on the shore, while Matsushita Yasushi Jiro is just the opposite. This distance is at least more than two hundred meters. A woman holding a child will naturally not be faster than a young and strong major, even if the major has his hands tied, so Zhang Xian and Han Qi are very worried, fearing that after Matsushita Yasujiro jumps onto the boat, Xiu Xiu will be killed. She did not run back to the embankment. In this case, she would probably be shot in the dark by the enemy.
Both sides released people at the same time. Tian Xiuxiu hugged her son and ran towards Matsushita Seijiro. At the moment when they were separated, Xiu Xiu held her son in one arm and freed up her other hand to punch Matsushita Seijiro in the lower abdomen. She hated the mute who brought their mother and son to the enemy ship. Matsushita Seijiro was unprepared, and his hands were tied behind his back. He couldn't resist at all. He only felt a pain in his lower abdomen and almost fell down. He resisted and staggered to the side of the boat, but he was already one step behind Xiuxiu. The one who fired the black gun was not the Japanese, but Xiong Sanwa. It's a pity that Xiong Sanwa's usually accurate shooting skills were a little off today. He was so angry that he lost his normalcy and lost his sight.
Zhang Xian grabbed Tian Xiuxiu and pulled her into his arms from outside the embankment. The family of three rolled on the ground and a bullet flew past them. The other party also shot back.
For a moment, gunfire rang out again, but at this time, it was of no use.
The enemy's small steamer has weighed anchor and slowly left the dock. Zhang Xian got up from the ground, and without bothering to hold up his wife and children, he grabbed the rifle from Xiong Sanwa's hand, and fired a shot at the Japs leader who was heading into the cabin. The leader fell down at the sound and was probably beaten to death.
Perhaps it was because of Zhang Xian's magic gun that Matsushita Seijiro never showed his head again. It wasn't until the ship was far away and out of the effective shooting range that they heard Matsushita Seijiro shouting in half-baked Chinese: "Zhang Xianjun, I will come back! Then I will compete with you in Changde City!"
"I'm waiting for you!" Zhang Xian also shouted without showing any signs of weakness.
***************************
Although he did not annihilate all the enemies, Han Qi still successfully foiled a Japanese infiltration operation and prevented them from sneaking into Changde City in large numbers before the war. For this, he received a commendation from the top. Of course, when writing the report, he said nothing about the fact that Zhang Xian's department had been invaded by the enemy. He just casually said that the 57th Division had helped.
After experiencing many life and death, Tian Xiuxiu has grown a lot. She is no longer the arrogant and unreasonable bandit, she is more rational and gentle.
Han Qi admired Zhang Xian's wife very much. He once jokingly said to Zhang Xian: "I think my sister-in-law is really suitable to be a female spy. She is bold and aggressive, but also as careful as silk. When I want to recruit people, you But let her go to me."
Zhang Xian only thought Han Qi was joking and didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, it is true that Tian Xiuxiu takes good care of his son.
The situation is becoming more and more tense day by day. The war in Changde is imminent. The enemy is deploying troops and generals on a large scale, and it looks like a storm is about to come. Zhang Xian was still worried about leaving Tian Xiuxiu and her son in Changde. He still asked Xiuxiu to take Xiaohu back to Chenzhou. This time, just in case, he called Xiong Sanwa over and asked him to deliver the mother and son home in person. In this way, Xiong Sanwa left Changde with Tian Xiuxiu and her son, and also left Zhang Xian's side for the first time.
*******************************
The Military Commission in Chongqing was also very concerned about the situation in Changde.
At the end of October, facing the sudden increase in the concentration of Japanese troops, everyone had a premonition that a big battle was about to start again. But this time, is what the Japanese did to Changde true or false? It's a feint, in order to achieve the purpose of supporting war with war; in the end, of course, there is also the desire to avenge the defeat of Western Hubei! "
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
I just listened to Chief of Staff Guo continue to say: "The focus now is, where will the enemy's target be when they gather this time? Changde? Changsha? Or Shipai?"
This issue has returned to the focus at the beginning of the Battle of Western Hubei, which is indeed difficult to ponder.
Zhang Linfu, the lame division commander, stood up and said with certainty: "Jun Zuo, in my humble opinion, the enemy will definitely capture Changde this time!"
"Oh?" Sun Zhong looked at him and asked, "Okay, tell me what you think first!"
Zhang Linfu said: "Not long ago, our 74th Army also conducted a discussion and believed that the enemy is most likely to attack Changde. First of all, judging from the enemy's military deployment, if they are deployed along the Yangtze River, if they want to attack Changsha again, , the focus of the force will be on Yueyang, so it is certain that the enemy will not attack Changsha."
Sun Zhong and Guo Wan both nodded, Guo Wan said: "Don't forget, the enemy also arranged their troops in the same way at the beginning of the campaign in western Hubei in May this year. Why are you not sure that the enemy will fight another stone card?"
Zhang Linfu said: "The last time the enemy made a dangerous breakthrough and pretended to attack Changde, the second echelon troops of our army in Changde did not dare to mobilize. It was not until the enemy's intention was fully revealed that they rushed to mobilize. If the Shipai 11th Division had not persisted and resisted, I'm afraid that the enemy has already captured the fortress and won a complete victory. If they do this again, the enemy will definitely gain wisdom and gain wisdom. With their superior maneuverability, they will no longer risk entering the mountains to fight. The capture of Changde is exactly what they are doing. best choice!"
Sun Zhong and Guo Wan nodded, Zhang Linfu said yes. After hearing what he said, the commander of the 74th Army also stood up and stated his point of view. There was not much difference between what he said and what Zhang Linfu said. They both believed that the enemy should attack Changde this time.
A few more people stood up to speak, but contrary to what the generals of the 74th Army said, they believed that the enemy's main attack was Shipai. Some even suggested that the enemy might attack Enshi this time. Sun Zhong and Guo Wan listened to the discussion of these generals, and they all made some sense, but they were just guesses and could not be confirmed.
At this time, Zhang Xian said nothing. He was immersed in the memories of his recent fight with Matsushita Seijiro. He still vaguely remembered Matsushita Seijiro's last shout. The guy vowed to tell Zhang Xian that he would come back. Fight with yourself in Changde City. That should be Matsushita Seijiro's real idea, and it should be basically possible, otherwise he wouldn't shout it out like this. Matsushita Seijiro must have known part of the enemy's plan, he had unintentionally revealed it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
