Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Rachel then took Li Guotao to meet the commander of the hospital garrison.

Rachel asked, "You just told me to lie to them and say you were a retired military officer. What rank is that?"

Li Guotao said casually: "Let's talk about the captain!"

After all, Li Guotao is very young, so it is more reasonable to call him a captain.

Rachel nodded and made a mental note of it.

Soon they met the highest commander here, Sergeant Kutu.

Previously, there were many troops and officers stationed nearby, but now there are only a dozen officers and soldiers left in the hospital, so the leader is just a sergeant.

Rachel introduced Kutu, "This is the man sent by Ambassador Fan to pick us up. He is a retired officer, Captain Li Guotao."

When Kutu heard this, he asked in surprise: "You are a retired Chinese military officer."

Li Guotao nodded and said, "Yes."

Kutu quickly saluted respectfully, then reached out and held Li Guotao's hand.

"Sir, welcome here."

Li Guotao was caught off guard by the other party's sudden enthusiasm.

Even Rachel next to him was confused as to why this guy had become so enthusiastic.

Li Guotao could only exchange a few polite words with Kutu.

At this time, Kutu explained himself: "Sir, do you know that our group leader is a student who studied in China?"

"I also took part in the assessment that year, but unfortunately I was eliminated and could not go abroad to study. Otherwise, I might be the group leader now."

"I have longed to visit your country, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to visit it."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "I believe that after the war is over, there will definitely be a chance to go to China."

"I hope so!"

Kutu nodded, his face full of longing.

Li Guotao didn't want to waste time, so he said directly: "Sergeant, I think you already know the current situation, right?"

Li Guotao's words instantly brought him back to reality. Kutu sighed helplessly and said, "We have received some news that Lochino has basically been occupied by the rebels."

"San Fran is also in danger of falling at any time, because there are not many defenders nearby."

"The rebels' offensive was too fierce."

Li Guotao asked: "So what are your plans?"

Kutu said: "We have lost contact with our superiors. They may have died!"

"We are now an isolated army with only a dozen people. It is difficult for us to achieve anything. To be honest, we don't know what to do."

Li Guotao frowned and asked, "If the rebels attack us, will you surrender?"

Kutu shook his head and said, "No, those rebels are cruel and have killed many people. If we surrender, we will probably die."

Li Guotao was obviously relieved when he heard this, for he was afraid that they would really surrender, which would be troublesome.

Li Guotao frowned and said, "I received instructions from above to evacuate with the medical team."

"I hope to get your assistance. I will also help you find your main force."

"What do you think?"

Li Guotao can speak English, so there is no communication barrier between the two sides.

Kutu asked, "You mean, we help each other, we protect the medical staff, and you will help us find our main force."

"Yes!"

Li Guotao nodded and said, "As long as we find your main force, you can go and join them. Then we won't need your protection anymore."

"But before that, we should unite and act together, which will be safer."

Kutu nodded slightly and said, "In fact, we were just discussing this issue. We have lost contact with our superiors and are surrounded by enemies. We can't stay here forever."

Li Guotao nodded and said, "That's right. Staying here means waiting for death. The most urgent task now is to retreat to a safe place as soon as possible."

Kutu readily agreed: "Okay, we can cooperate. When will we start to retreat?"

Li Guotao explained: "It will take some time for the medical team to prepare, so we have to wait a little longer, but I can guarantee that we won't have to wait too long, because this place is no longer safe after all."

"But before we retreat, we must strengthen our vigilance to prevent the rebels from attacking here."

"To be honest, the defense you built is too bad. If the rebels really attack, it will be impossible to stop them."

"I can help you rebuild a line of defense. If rebels arrive, we can buy some time. If the rebels are few in number, we can annihilate them."

Kutu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, we will listen to you."

Li Guotao didn't expect things to go so smoothly. These guys were quite obedient.

Li Guotao turned to Rachel and said, "You should also know that the longer we stay here, the more danger we will face."

"I hope you guys can hurry up."

Rachel nodded and said, "I'll notify Dr. Chen right away. We'll do it as soon as possible."

Li Guotao asked: "Are there enough vehicles in the hospital for transfer?"

Rachel nodded and said, "Our medical team has enough vehicles to evacuate everyone currently in the hospital."

Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good."

Rachel went to see Dr. Chen.

Li Guotao took a dozen soldiers from the hospital and began to redeploy defenses.

Some of the suggestions put forward by Li Guotao completely convinced these people, and everyone praised Li Guotao highly.

……

At the same time, Leng Feng, Qian Bidada and others finally escaped to the embassy.

Although I encountered numerous difficulties and dangers along the way and almost lost my life several times, I managed to make it through.

However, the rebels still had some concerns about our country, so they were safe once they arrived at the embassy.

At this time, a large number of refugees gathered in the embassy, ​​most of whom were Chinese expatriates.

Ambassador Fan immediately contacted the two parties concerned and finally determined the route and time of the withdrawal.

At this moment, the warships sent to carry out the evacuation mission have arrived at the port.

Within the specified time, a temporary ceasefire was declared on this route. In fact, most of the city fell into the hands of the rebels, with only a few areas where officers and soldiers were still offering sporadic resistance.

The rebels received a notice from our embassy and took the initiative to make way for the embassy staff to evacuate.

After all, the rebel leaders dare not offend our country. They are powerful and do not bully the weak. They are respected everywhere they go.

After everything was arranged, cars drove out of the embassy in an orderly manner and began to drive towards the port along the planned route.

Leng Feng sat in the car, looking at the streets outside through the window. The once prosperous urban area had become a mess, and bloody corpses could be seen everywhere on the streets.

In some places, you can see some civilians fleeing with their families. Some people are taking the opportunity to smash nearby shops, some are taking the opportunity to rob, and some are just looking for some supplies to survive in the coming chaos.

Seeing these tragic scenes, everyone's expression was solemn.

Leng Feng also had a gloomy expression. This was the cruelty of war. Only those who had experienced it personally could understand this cruelty.

How blessed it is to be born in China, in a peaceful era.

Of course, our peaceful life is also hard-won by countless martyrs who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

It’s a pity that some people nowadays still don’t know how to cherish.

Tundu is a child after all. Seeing these scenes constantly playing out in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and buried his head in Leng Feng's arms. Perhaps for him, this was the only way he could feel safe.

Leng Feng patted the little black fat boy gently and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, with your godfather here, nothing will happen."

At this time, gunshots were still heard from time to time around, and it was unclear whether they were fighting or the rebels were killing people.

Although the local area is not wealthy, Locino is an international port after all and is still very prosperous. However, after a war, it is likely that it will never be able to recover its former prosperity in a short period of time.

At this moment, warships carrying out evacuation of overseas Chinese from various countries have begun to gradually leave the port.

At this time, our warships marched into the port without hesitation.

When Leng Feng and his crew arrived at the port by bus, the warship had already docked at the port.

This was all negotiated in advance, so it can be a seamless transition.

The car door opened and staff came to greet you.

Smiles finally appeared on everyone's faces, especially when they saw the majestic warship, the sense of security was unparalleled.

Everyone's anxious hearts could finally be put at ease.

Most of the overseas Chinese, even those who love money like their life, no longer care about what they have worked hard for here over the years. After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it.

Now that he can finally return home safely, Qian Bidada is also very happy.

Leng Feng and others began to line up to board the ship. At this time, an officer in charge of checking tickets saw Tundu and asked in surprise, "Where are you from?"

“You can’t go up on this one!”

Leng Feng, who was standing behind, quickly said, "This is my son."

The officer said in surprise, "Your son?"

That’s right, judging from their faces, these two people don’t look like father and son at all.

Qian Bi Da, who was holding the tickets at the back, said quickly, "We have tickets. Look, three. 79, 80, and 81."

The officer took them and looked at them. They were indeed tickets issued by the embassy, ​​and there were three real ones, so it was difficult to stop them.

But the officer was still a little confused, probably wondering how Leng Feng gave birth to such a purely black son.

So much so that he was absent-minded when speaking.

"79, 89, 30?"

However, although the words were not spoken clearly, they still made way, and Leng Feng and Qian Bidada took Tundu onto the warship.

When he arrived on the deck, Leng Feng held the railing, feeling the sea breeze, holding the bullet hanging around his neck in his hand.

Qian Bi Da glanced in the direction of the city, and finally realized his loss. He couldn't help but sigh, "Twelve years of hard work! Once the war started, everything was gone."

This time, Qian Bidada suffered heavy losses. Apart from a little cash, all the goods, houses and cars were gone.

Seeing no response, Qian Bidada turned his head to look at Leng Feng, only to see that the boy was distracted with a bullet in his hand.

Qian Bi Da looked at Leng Feng, who was worried, and couldn't help asking, "Is there any story behind this bullet?"

Hearing this, Leng Feng couldn't help feeling heartbroken and sighed slightly, but was unwilling to say anything more.

At this time, Tundu, who had already boarded the ship, finally realized that they were going to China after boarding the ship.

So Tundu suddenly turned around and ran under the boat. Leng Feng noticed the figure of the little black fat man out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and saw that the guy had actually run away. He hurriedly chased after him.

The little black fat guy ran quite fast, all the way off the boat, but was stopped by the soldiers on guard outside the boat. Only then did Leng Feng catch up with him.

"Tundu, what are you going to do?"

Tundu cried, "I don't want to go to China, I want to find my mother!"

Leng Feng could only try his best to comfort the little black fat boy.

"Trust me, godfather. We will pick up your mother."

Qian Bi Da also got off the boat and shouted to Leng Feng: "Brother!"

Leng Feng turned his head to look at Qian Bi Da and asked, "Why did you come down too?"

Qian Bi Da raised the ticket in his hand and said, "The tickets are all here with me. I'm afraid you won't be able to get back on after you get off the boat."

"Brother, there is something I must tell you the truth."

"I've seen the bullet you're wearing!"

Hearing this, Leng Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. After searching for so long, he finally got some news.

Qian Bi Da continued, "The pattern on this bullet looks like a mark from the rebels."

"I heard from a friend who sells arms that they have now hired the most expensive mercenaries in Europe."

"I don't care what grudges you have with them. I advise you not to go and die."

Leng Feng's eyes were determined. He had been searching for several years and now he finally had some news. How could he not go?

Not to mention that they are just a group of ragtag rebels, even if it is a dangerous place, he would still try to break in.

At this time, Ambassador Pan introduced to the captain: "There are still 47 Chinese employees trapped in the Chinese-owned factory in Sangkuga Town. The most terrifying thing is that in San Fran, kilometers away, there is also the medical aid team of Dr. Chen."

"According to the intelligence we have received, Dr. Chen has become the rebels' number one target and is extremely dangerous."

The captain said with an embarrassed look on his face: "The entire area from Lochino to San Fran has been blocked, and our combat personnel are prohibited from entering the combat zone."

Ambassador Fan said: "This evacuation is of great importance. We must ensure the safe evacuation of all Chinese employees and Dr. Chen and others."

The captain went on to say: "Our combat personnel cannot enter the war zone, but they must resolutely complete the evacuation mission."

"We can only send non-combat personnel to provide support, but..."

The captain was also very clear that, given the current situation, this mission was not only difficult but also full of dangers.

Leng Feng, who was not far away, heard the conversation between the two and immediately said, "I'll go!"

"stop!"

"What?"

The alert soldiers immediately stopped Leng Feng.

Ambassador Fan and the captain heard the voice and turned to look at Leng Feng.

Leng Feng stood at attention, saluted with a standard military salute, and said loudly: "War Wolf Squadron of the former Southeast Military Region Special Operations Brigade."

"Leng Feng!" (End of this chapter)
