Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2814: No one is seen alive, and no body is seen dead!

Under Ito's command, the Japanese search and rescue team became busy on the cliff. They carefully fixed the ropes and then descended the cliff one by one.

Commander Ito and Ino stood on the edge of the cliff, anxiously waiting for news.

Time passed minute by minute, and the search and rescue team searched under the cliff for a long time, but still found no trace of Kujo Miyakita.

Commander Ito's face became increasingly gloomy, and he became increasingly anxious.

Finally, a rescue team member climbed up from the cliff. He was exhausted and reported in a hoarse voice: "Reporting to Lord Ito, we have searched for a long time under the cliff and only found some broken clothes and fragments of swords, but did not find Lord Kujo's body."

Commander Ito's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Continue the search. We must find him alive or dead. Even if Kujo-kun is really dead, we must find his body."

The rescue team followed the order and started the intense search again, while Commander Ito and Commander Ino continued to stand on the edge of the cliff, waiting for the final result.

However, they waited for two days for this result, but nothing came of it. It was as if Kujo Miyakita had disappeared from the face of the earth.

The Japanese soldiers in charge of the search found footprints of wild animals in the woods and guessed that Kujo Miyakita might have been eaten by wild animals, with not even a bone left.

When Ito heard the bad news, he fell into his chair.

On the contrary, although Ino was surprised, she was not as shocked as Ito, and she comforted Ito: "Commander Ito, the dead cannot be resurrected, so we should accept the reality."

Ito had no other choice but to accept this reality and order his troops to return to Chuncheng.

At the same time, at the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base, Duanwu was seeing off Markov and Vladimir.

Markov is an important partner of Duanwu. Although the arsenal of the Anti-Japanese Brigade has begun to take shape, it is not yet able to supply the entire army.

Moreover, especially some anti-aircraft weapons and anti-chemical weapons equipment, the Anti-Japanese Brigade was simply unable to produce them themselves.

Therefore, Markov and Vladimir, as well as the elite team sent to protect Markov, will be entertained well during the Dragon Boat Festival. This must be an important partner in the future development of the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

So at the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base, Duanwu specially arranged a grand farewell party to express his gratitude to Markov and Vladimir.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including local game and fresh vegetables shipped in from outside.

Although they are all very common things, they are the best ingredients that the Anti-Japanese Brigade can come up with at this time.

Markov and Vladimir sat in the upper seats, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Duanwu raised his glass and toasted them, saying: "Comrades Markov and Vladimir, thank you for your help to the Anti-Japanese Brigade. We part today and don't know when we will meet again, but the Anti-Japanese Brigade will always remember your friendship."

Markov also stood up and said in reply: "Brother Duanwu, it is too polite for you to say that. It is my honor to be able to help you. Here, I also hope that you can defeat the Japanese devils as soon as possible and restore peace as soon as possible!"

"grateful!"

Dragon Boat Festival raised a glass and drank it all with Markov.

Everyone present applauded this friendship.

However, at this moment, a communicator came hurriedly and whispered something in Duanwu's ear. Duanwu's face suddenly became solemn, and he apologized to Marklov and others: "Sorry, my two friends, there is an urgent military situation that needs to be dealt with. I have to leave for a while."

Duanwu walked aside quickly and listened carefully to the report from the communicator. It turned out that they had received the news that Kujo Miyakita had been assassinated.

Although the specific details are still unclear, it is certain that Kujo Miyakita has been missing for many days and has not been found yet.

Duanwu thought to himself that Kujo Miyakita was an important figure in the Japanese army. His assassination and disappearance would probably cause considerable trouble to the Japanese army. This was the best time for Markov, Vladimir and others to leave.

So when they returned to the farewell party, Duanwu immediately whispered this to Markov.

Markov also felt that this was a good opportunity, which greatly reduced the difficulties for them to return home.

So Markov immediately ordered his guards to send a telegram to General Bazarov, saying that they would immediately leave the anti-Japanese brigade’s base and then cross Inner Mongolia to return home.

Duanwu did not delay and called Ma Shanpao to come and ask him to bring an escort team of more than 50 people to personally escort Markov and others into the grassland.

In addition, Duanwu also gave thirteen war horses to Marklov and others as a source of support for them after they entered the grassland.

Markov was very grateful and said that when he returned home, he would further convince General Bazarov to support the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

Of course, he could not guarantee the strength of the support, but given his relationship with General Bazarov, he thought the obstacles would not be great.

Duanwu also expressed his gratitude solemnly, because if he got the support from the Soviet Union, then killing the Japanese would not be a big problem, at least in terms of weapons.

Of course, he thought that General Bazarov must also very much hope that the Anti-Japanese Brigade could contain more Japanese invaders or even eliminate more of them.

In this way, the Soviet Union could eliminate many of their enemies without losing a single soldier.

So this is also a win-win situation, otherwise the Soviet Union would not have supported the Anti-Japanese Brigade so strongly.

So, with the arrival of night, Markov and his companions set out on their journey to the grassland.

Duanwu went to the meeting room with Ma Pingan.

Duanwu was still very concerned about the disappearance of Jiujo Gongbei. It was not easy to find such an excellent worker among the Japanese.

Therefore, if Duanwu wanted to find out the situation, he had to go through Comrade Cobra and only had a single line of contact with Ma Pingan.

Under the dim light of the conference room, Duanwu and Ma Ping'an sat opposite each other, and the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

Duanwu spoke first: "Old Ma, how much do you know about the matter of Jiujiao Gongbei? I need to know the specific details."

Ma Ping'an frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said slowly:

“According to the information sent by Comrade Cobra, Kujo Miyakita was ambushed on the way to Spring City.

The people who attacked Kujo Miyakita were very purposeful. Not only were they familiar with Kujo Miyakita's whereabouts, but they were also very ruthless and the battle was extremely fierce, but Comrade Cobra did not witness the specific process.

Moreover, the Japs kept this information strictly under control. It had been three days before he got the exact news from the Japs' fragmentary words! "

Duanwu asked: "Did he confirm that Kujo Miyakita is dead?"

Ma Pingan shook his head, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "There is no conclusive evidence that Kujo Miyakita is dead. According to some clues obtained by Cobra, it is only said that Kujo Miyakita fell off a cliff and his whereabouts are unknown. But Songyuan City is already preparing for Kujo Miyakita's funeral!"
