Agents of the Republic of China

Lin Xiaotang's idea is very simple, that is, to use the Sean card in his hand to force the Americans to put pressure on the Nationalist government, and promote the peripheral troops to open up the situation as soon as possible, throw off or break through the containment and obstruction of the Japanese army, in order to successfully break through the siege of Changde City , but Lin Xiaotang didn't know exactly what to do to bring Sean's role into full play.

There are no independent military reporters in Changde City, but to Lin Xiaotang's surprise and pleasant surprise, there are actually two American reporters in the headquarters of Yu Chengwan's 57th Division.So after Company Commander Yu and Chang Huan went down the mountain, Lin Xiaotang quickly sent a report to Yu Chengwan, asking him to send someone to send the American reporter to the Deshan defense line safely as soon as possible. At the same time, he also revealed his thoughts to Yu Chengwan. Yu Chengwan, who had nothing to do at present and could only defend the isolated city, was no less than grabbing a life-saving straw in despair, so he readily agreed to all of Lin Xiaotang's requests.

Looking at the sky, it was early in the morning, Lin Xiaotang never felt sleepy, he walked straight out of the tent, ready to breathe some fresh air.In the criss-cross trenches outside, there was a slight snoring sound, which meant that some Japanese soldiers had fallen asleep.The light of the moon has dimmed a bit, and with the cold wind blowing from time to time on the mountain peak, the entire Deshan battlefield is quiet and serene, and it is not at all obvious that this place was once a dead place where thousands of people fought each other with their lives, and their flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

Lin Xiaotang pondered his plan over and over in his mind. It is true that the Battle of Changde is now a dead end. Nearly 20 elite soldiers are restrained by more than [-] Japanese troops and cannot move. The two isolated islands that are connected together, maybe when another huge wave comes, the two isolated islands will be swallowed at the same time. At this time, Lin Xiaotang only hopes that his good luck can be more.

In fact, Lin Xiaotang did not know that since the day when the Sutra fell, history has gradually deviated due to the continuation of his life. Unknowingly, Lin Xiaotang quietly changed the people and things around him in his own way, which in turn affected the people around him. A battle, a campaign or even a war.And all of this, Lin Xiaotang didn't notice at all.

The Deshan defense line in real history has already fallen at this time, and the two hundred warriors led by Zhang Yaoguo have already followed the Deshan position and left it in the annals of history forever, but it was Lin Xiaotang's arrival that changed everything unconsciously. The mountain defense line is still solid, and the Toda United team that once stepped on the Tokuyama defense line has also been wiped out. It is just that we don't know where the history will go in the future. Perhaps, Lin Xiaotang, a little butterfly's wings, can really help. Bringing a stormy sea that makes history look sideways.

"Sir." A timid voice suddenly came from behind.

Lin Xiaotang's train of thought was interrupted, and he turned his head to look, under the moonlight, a wrinkled, swarthy face was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You are?" Lin Xiaotang looked carefully at the dark-faced veteran, and found that he did not know him.These are veterans who are about 50 years old. They are not tall, and they are lean and slender.

"This, this." The black-faced veteran mustered up his courage several times, but he still couldn't speak.

"Don't be nervous, talk slowly if you have something to say." Lin Xiaotang took out the Japanese cigarette that was given to him by the big head from his pocket, handed one to the black-faced veteran, and held out the lighter.

The black-faced veteran saluted and bowed, hurriedly took the cigarette and lighter, lit it with trembling hands, took a deep breath, and then calmed down.

His eyes flickered, "Here, sir, I am from the cooking squad of the 188rd Company of the 3th Regiment. My surname is Zhao. Everyone calls me Lao Zhao."

Lin Xiaotang smiled and nodded, "Oh, Lao Zhao, what do you need from me?"

Old Zhao smiled unnaturally, "Yes, that's what happened, Battalion Commander Zhang, ah no, Commander Zhang, ordered me to prepare some laxatives yesterday, and our regiment didn't have ready-made medicinal materials, so I just brought a few. A brother went to Deshan to collect herbs, hehe, I am a local, and I am familiar with Deshan, so this... ".

Lin Xiaotang slapped his head, suddenly realized, and waved his hand at Lao Zhao, "Okay, Lao Zhao, I understand, you wait here for me."

As he said that, Lin Xiaotang turned around and went into the tent, rummaged through the belongings seized by the Japanese army, and took a few pieces of Mexican eagles, which seemed to be the collections of Japanese military officers.

When he got outside the tent, Lin Xiaotang stuffed a few hawks into Old Zhao's hands, "Old Zhao, I mean what I say, this time we sneak attack on the devils' barracks, without your medicine, we wouldn't be able to do so beautifully. Head Zhang said, I want to give you a credit, these are my thoughts."

Lao Zhao's lips trembled excitedly, and he kept touching Ying Yang with his hands, "Thank you sir, thank you sir, I have lived most of my life, and this is the first time I have met such a kind sir like you. Prosperity, more children, more blessings!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and waved his hands, "Thank you for your good words, Lao Zhao, there is one more thing I want to ask you!"

"You say, you say."

Lin Xiaotang stroked his chin and thought for a while, pointing to Lao Zhao's lower body, "I asked you to prepare a laxative, yes, the effect is good, but why are these little devils so hard as flagpoles, they were all beaten to death Are you still sticking a tent?"

Old Zhao blushed, "Sir, I'm really sorry. When Commander Zhang gave the order, he didn't tell me how much you wanted. I didn't know how much I wanted. I always thought that since I was fighting devils, the more the better. But time was urgent, so I had no other choice, so I gathered some medicine to make animals go into heat, and added it in, thinking that this would also make the devil feel uncomfortable, so????? ".

Lin Xiaotang was taken aback when he heard this, and then he laughed loudly, "Old Zhao, you've made some mistakes this time, it's not bad."

Seeing that Lin Xiaotang was so happy, Old Zhao knew that this was a good match for the officer, so he felt relieved suddenly, his face was also full of smiles, and his waist straightened a lot.

Lin Xiaotang looked at Lao Zhao, and suddenly his heart moved, "Old Zhao, do you know the devil's poison gas warfare?"

Lao Zhao nodded quickly, "I heard that the brothers who participated in the Songhu War of Resistance said that the devil's poisonous gas bombs are very powerful. If a person smells the smoke, the milder one will feel dizzy and nauseated, and can't open his eyes. If it is serious, the eyes will be blind, and the flesh of the body will rot."

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "That's right, many devil troops are equipped with this kind of thing, I'm afraid they will use it in our Deshan position."

Old Zhao pondered for a while, then raised his head, his face showed an unprecedented seriousness and determination, "Sir, I'm just a veterinarian, my ancestral skill, if you want me to crack the little devil's gas bomb, I don't have that ability, but I There is a way to find the herbs on Deshan Mountain, as long as the medicines are prepared and the wind is in the right direction, I guarantee that it will have the same effect as that little devil's gas bomb when it is ignited."

Lin Xiaotang looked at Lao Zhao in disbelief, he never thought that an unremarkable veteran would actually understand these things, it's really unbelievable.

He took a step forward and pressed Lao Zhao's shoulders with both hands, "Old Zhao, just do as you said. I will ask Captain Zhang to send you a platoon brother. You go to the mountain to collect herbs immediately. The sooner the better." , Of course, the more herbs the better, understand?"

Old Zhao raised his head and stood at attention in a standard manner, "Yes, sir, the task must be completed!"

Lin Xiaotang watched Old Zhao's upright back disappear into the night, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. For a long time, he had always been afraid of the poison gas weapons of the Japanese army, because he had seen poison gas weapons as early as the fall of Nanjing The only thing he worries about is that the Japanese army will use this powerful killing move while guarding Tokuyama this time.Fortunately, when the Japanese barracks were breached, the Communist Party found a batch of well-packed and unused gas masks, which could help Japanese soldiers deal with the Japanese army's poison gas offensive head-on.With the appearance of Lao Zhao, it is possible for the police to possess poisonous gas weapons, which made Lin Xiaotang's heart inexplicably happy.

After making arrangements for Lao Zhao, it was already early morning when the guards came to report, and the American reporters from Changde City arrived.Now, the passage between Changde and Deshan is still open. During the day, the Japanese planes will bombard them non-stop. At night, the passage will be relatively safe. As long as you pass through the Yuan River safely, you can get rid of the Japanese planes once you get into the jungle of Deshan. entanglement.

When Lin Xiaotang walked into the tent, two Americans in woolen suits were having a lively conversation with Sean. Seeing Lin Xiaotang coming in, Sean immediately stood up warmly, and as usual gave another warm hug, and then went to According to his compatriots, the two reporters are China correspondents of the American "Independent Daily", namely Thomas and Sam. They have been engaged in reports on the Sino-Japanese War for several years. The two insisted on interviewing and reporting on the front line of the war, so they did not withdraw until the Japanese army completed the siege of Changde.

Lin Xiaotang shook hands with the two people one by one, and sent someone to invite Zhang Yaoguo, who was still inspecting the battlefield, to come back. After all, Lin Xiaotang didn't want to show too much in front of the two reporters. Moreover, Zhang Yaoguo was the local military chief, and he was the one to accept the interview. It's the most suitable.

After Zhang Yaoguo came, perhaps because he had never been interviewed, he always seemed a little nervous when facing reporters' questions. Although Lin Xiaotang had already explained all the details before, he still involuntarily looked at Lin Xiaotang. The American reporters quickly caught this point, and together with Xiao En's admiration for Lin Xiaotang during the period, they expressed their doubts about Lin Xiaotang's identity in a very subtle way, but Lin Xiaotang talked about him, and then made excuses, Turned out of the tent.

Lin Xiaotang slowly walked to the commanding heights of the position, the wind was very strong, he couldn't help wrapping his coat around the military uniform tightly, the sun had already peeked out, breaking free from the shackles of the darkness little by little, quietly spreading his own light to every corner .

In the distance, dusty and murderous, the endless truck convoy and the marching khaki torrent are slowly converging at the foot of Deshan Mountain, and a bloody battle is about to kick off.
