After three hours, they arrived at a place more than 20 kilometers north of the city.

Looking at the surrounding mountains in the distance, they could say that they had already run out of that mountain range and reached the highway leading to the county town. After walking for a while, they would probably see other pedestrians on the road.

"This is……"

Looking around, the group sat down in the woods and began to rest.

Meanwhile, Secretary Liu, Old Li, and Old Zhou gathered together again and began to discuss things in hushed tones.

"Old Li, have you thought it through? Are you coming with me to the county town, or are you going to continue guerrilla warfare outside the town? But we absolutely cannot go to the area east of the town again, at least not in the short term."

"Secretary Liu, don't worry, we won't go to the county town. We plan to set up a new camp on the mountain west of the city. After all, we're not used to going to the city center."

Old Li thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Take this comrade over there. He's badly injured, and we don't know if he has any shrapnel in him."

"Besides, seeing that he has amnesia, perhaps he can properly recuperate in the city. After all, outside the city, we don't have the conditions for recuperation, we haven't even found half a chicken. We originally wanted to borrow half a chicken from Sister Liu's house, but those damned Japanese devils..."

At this point, Old Li's eyes turned red; clearly, he hadn't expected that the Japanese devils weren't human at all.

"Sigh, I already know about what happened in Liujiazhuang. Those Japanese devils are really treacherous!"

Secretary Liu was also quite helpless, his eyes still filled with pain.

“Secretary, we will find a chance to avenge ourselves on those Japanese devils. All 132 people in Liujiazhuang are dead, all of them are dead!”

Old Zhou also lowered his head in pain, covered his face, and his voice trembled slightly. He clearly did not expect that the Japanese devils would do such an inhuman thing.

“Secretary, we…”

"Sigh, I heard the news too. What a pity, what a real pity!"

Secretary Liu's eyes were also a little red, and there was even more worry in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Tianhao.

A young man of unknown origin, but whose status is definitely not low, and most importantly, a pilot—this is a talent, a real talent.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you don't want to go to the county town, I'll have to take him there myself. Don't worry."

Do you have a certificate of good conduct?

"That's easy, but the photos are a bit of a problem!"

After thinking for a moment, Secretary Liu still spoke with some concern.

"Didn't you send anyone to take photos?"

Old Li, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment and then asked with some concern.

"There's no other way, I only thought of the photos now. But don't worry, there's a small village about three miles from the county seat, and I've already made arrangements there."

"That's good!"

When Old Li heard that Secretary Liu had already made arrangements, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Li, if there's an opportunity, let's recruit more people. We still have far too few people, and we can't keep up with anything."

“I want to too, but we have no funds and no food. It’s easy to recruit people, but without food, they will starve to death. We only have a few pounds of cornmeal left, and we don’t know how many days we can last.”

"Alas, this is my responsibility. It's my fault for not making sure my comrades are well-fed!"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu immediately understood why the team had no food. They couldn't even feed a dozen or so guerrillas, let alone recruit more members.

"I'll find a way to send you a batch of grain. Where are you in the west?"

"Let's keep it here!"

The three of them discussed it in hushed tones. After all, they shouldn't tell anyone outsiders about the specific camp location, not even other team members; safety was the top priority.

"What? Young Master's flight was targeted by the Japanese, and it exploded and crashed during a battle with them?"

Inside the Northern Jiangsu Command Headquarters.

Zuo Mingming and Chief of Staff Zhao were also shocked after receiving the news.

They never expected that the first message they received would be this. Their eyes almost spit fire, and their eyes were even slightly bloodshot.

"Damn it, those damned Japanese devils, I will never rest until I avenge them."

"Chief of Staff Zhao, I'd like to strike the Japanese. What do you think?"

Zuo Mingming also took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Also, we will keep this matter a secret for now, but the young master's revenge must be taken."

"No, we should pretend nothing happened."

Chief of Staff Zhao also took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "If something happens to the young master, our haste will only expose that something has happened to him."

“On the contrary, we are not in a hurry now. It is the Japanese who are in a hurry. We can have Number One walk around outside in place of the young master to show that the young master is still here. This will not cause panic among the subordinates.”

"But we must intensify our efforts to capture Japanese spies. We must kill every single one we catch and leave no loose ends."

"At the same time, we have sent people to secretly investigate the young master. This incident happened in Changfeng County, which is not far from here. We have sent a number of people to Changfeng County to investigate whether the news of his death is true."

"Although the plane exploded, I estimate that the young master is not someone who is careless, and he may not be dead. This is just a gut feeling."

"Young Master is alright. Falling from mid-air, that's hundreds of meters high, how could he possibly survive?"

When Zuo Mingming heard this, her mouth dropped open in disbelief.

"No, you know better than I how many injuries the young master has suffered, even more seriously than I do, but have you ever seen the young master die?"

"No, so we can only conclude that something happened to the young master, but he's definitely alright, understand?"

"Not only that, we also need to pretend that we know nothing. Instead, we should secretly send a team to Changfeng County to keep an eye on things, and we can even send people to take Dingyuan and press our troops close to Changfeng. This will make it easier for us to carry out our mission."

"This method is good, but what if..."

Zuo Mingming was still somewhat worried, and her expression showed a hint of bitterness.

"There are no 'ifs,' remember, there are no 'ifs'!"

Chief of Staff Zhao didn't say much, but his voice was somewhat hoarse, clearly indicating that he was also in considerable pain.

"understand!"

Zuo Mingming took a deep breath, then looked out the window, a hint of inexplicable melancholy in her eyes.

"Young Master, I hope nothing really happens to you. After all, you are the backbone, the pillar of the entire Subei region. How can anything function without you!"

He took a deep breath, looked at Chief of Staff Zhao, and said seriously, "You can arrange this matter, but Dingyuan County must be taken. There can be absolutely no mistakes. The army should also advance westward slowly."

"no problem!"

"What about Madam?"

"Let's keep it a secret for now and not let Madam worry. You know the situation there, so it's best not to alarm her."

"Okay!" (End of Chapter)
