Chapter 16

1
On the bank of the Yangtze River, a fishing boat was waiting there.After a while, a Japanese-style truck drove over at high speed and stopped beside the Yangtze River.The car door opened, Xiao Hei and others got out of the car, and hurriedly carried Smith onto the boat.

Yanzi Liu put Smith on the deck of the fishing boat, and finally let out a sigh of relief: "Here, I am finally free! This American is really not light."

After Chen Yiming and Leng Feng came to the river, they suddenly turned around and stood with guns.

Seeing Xiao K, he couldn't help asking: "Instructor Chen, why don't you get on the boat?"

Chen Yiming looked at Little K and replied: "We have only completed one task, and there is one more that has not been completed."

Everyone knew what the task that was still missing was, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and stop talking.Butterfly glanced at Chen Yiming and lowered his head even lower.

Little K tried to ask: "Instructor Chen, we escaped after a narrow escape, if we turn back again, we really can't save our lives..."

Little K didn't say any more, but everyone understood.

Yan Ziliu couldn't help but asked: "Instructor Chen, tell me, what should we do now?"

Chen Yiming: "Go back."

"Go back?" Little K couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, "Nakamura is arresting us everywhere now. Going back now, isn't it courting death?"

Chen Yiming was very firm: "Yes, we are looking for death, but we still have to go back!"

After hearing this, Yanziliu couldn't help asking, "Boss, what will happen to you if we don't go back with you?" Leng Feng shot the ground under Yanziliu's feet.

Chen Yiming took out his pistol and shot it on the beach: "That's it, I have the right to enforce battlefield discipline?!"

After Chen Yiming finished speaking, everyone fell silent...

The scholar pondered for a while and replied: "Instructor Chen, I will go back with you."

After hearing this, Yan Ziliu also took a step forward: "I'll go back too! Sooner or later I'll die, so let's die with Instructor Chen."

Little K and Fujiwara just met, and they both took a step forward: "I will participate too!"

Everyone expressed their opinions, but the butterfly remained silent.

Chen Yiming turned to her with a serious face: "Butterfly, why don't you speak?"

Butterfly's face showed embarrassment: "Instructor Chen, can I not participate in this operation? As long as I don't participate in this operation, I will participate in whatever I am asked to do next time!"

Chen Yiming looked at her coldly: "No, if you are not comfortable participating in other activities, you can; but this time, you must participate!"

After hearing this, Die Die couldn't help shedding tears: "Captain Chen, let the other team members do it, but this time... I can't! Let me kill him with my own hands—I can't do it!"

After hearing this, Chen Yiming became impatient: "But he killed many of us, why is he able to do so?! Huh? Say it! Say it?!"

Butterfly stopped crying and stopped talking.

Chen Yiming ignored her, turned around and looked at everyone: "I said, this is a battlefield, and mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law are not tolerated. I have the right to kill anyone who dares to disobey orders! Don't hesitate, set off immediately!"

Everyone had no choice but to follow Chen Yiming on the car back to Nanjing.

It was getting late, and the people in the car finally returned to the Italian church after more than half an hour of bumping.The truck drove directly into the gate, and the tall priest Sal was already waiting there.

The priest was very happy: "My children, you are back, welcome, I will take you to the attic now."

The priest said he was going to take everyone away, and Chen Yiming added: "Father, it's better to take us to the wine cellar to live in, it's closer to the tunnel."

"Oh? Well, I'll take you to the wine cellar right away." The priest said, leading the way.

In the wine cellar, the priest put a lighted candle on the wall and looked at everyone kindly: "Children, you must be hungry? I'm going to prepare something delicious—authentic Italian sausage!"

After the priest finished speaking and left, the wine cellar immediately fell silent...

Chen Yiming said: "Everyone is tired, let's take the time to take a rest, and we will have dinner in a while!"

After hearing this, everyone found a place to rest.Chen Yiming walked up to the scholar and gave him a hand:
"Scholar, come out, I have something to tell you."

After Chen Yiming finished speaking, he went ahead.The scholar hesitated for a moment, and followed him out.

It was late, and the outside of the wine cellar was quiet.After the scholar came to Chen Yiming, Chen Yiming did not speak. After the two of them were silent for a while, Chen Yiming began to speak:

"Scholar, you seem to be hiding something from me."

"What's the matter? No wow!"

"No? I have noticed you several times. You are very special and different from others."

"Different? What's different? What's different?" After finishing speaking, the scholar looked at Chen Yiming calmly.

Chen Yiming also looked at him attentively: "I can't say exactly what is different, but you do have something different from other people. If I read correctly, you are not only a scholar, but also have other more important things. Hmph, those stupid judges of the military command may be able to pry open the ghost's mouth, but they will certainly not be able to pry your mouth open. So, I want to tell you, no matter what purpose you come to my team Lilai, you must strictly abide by my rules and never mess around! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

After hearing this, the scholar smiled meaningfully: "Instructor Chen, you are worrying too much. The reason why I joined this team was to take the opportunity to get out of the concentration camp, and I had no other intentions. However, when it comes to fighting , I am not your opponent; and when it comes to seeing things, my vision may not be worse than yours! Sometimes the reason why I have to say a few more words is just so that we can successfully complete this task, and then we can get an amnesty smoothly As for the amnesty, don't worry, Instructor Chen, I won't rely on you, unless you keep me when the time comes."

Speaking of this, Chen Yiming couldn't say anything more.He smiled and eased his tone: "Okay, scholar, then we have made an agreement, as long as you can help me complete this task together, I will never make things difficult for you; but, the same sentence, if you Dare to do something that is not conducive to this operation, you know my temper and methods."

The scholar looked at Chen Yiming and smiled: "Are you threatening death? In fact, you know, I am not afraid of death! The reason why I joined the Death Squad was to fight devils! Yan Ziliu joined the Death Squad, and he acted so bravely, not just because he was afraid that you would be castrated He, but because his mother died at the hands of the Japanese, he wants to pay back the blood debt from the Japanese! And little K, why did he go and come back, not because he has nowhere to go, but because he wants to pay for his sister Revenge! So, the reason why we all come back with you in such a dangerous situation is not because we are afraid of you, let alone because we are afraid of death, but because we want to fight devils—it is this noble purpose that brings us together to you under his command, and nothing else, don't you really understand?"

Chen Yiming was taken aback by the scholar's words.From the bottom of my heart, the scholar's words did speak to the essence of the problem: If it wasn't for fighting the devils, no matter how capable he was, Chen Yiming would not be able to guarantee that the people in the team would not leave him; People with different abilities and dispositions gathered together to obey his command.

Thinking of this, Chen Yiming looked at the scholar and nodded deeply.Seeing Chen Yiming like this, the scholar smiled.

The scholar said: "Instructor Chen, don't worry, as long as you are beating devils, my scholar will follow you, and there will be no difference!"

Hearing what the scholar said, Chen Yiming laughed, and he patted the scholar on the shoulder excitedly: "Brother, I can trust you!"

Seeing Chen Yiming's excited look, the scholar also smiled.

In the church hall, the children adopted by the priest are celebrating mass at this time.The team members of Yanzi No. [-] were sitting on the sidelines watching the excitement.Chen Yiming pushed open the door.Walking in with the scholar, Chen Yiming glanced at the team members who were watching the excitement, walked over and sat next to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng lit a cigarette, handed it to Chen Yiming, and lit one himself: "Have you talked with the scholar? How is it?"

Chen Yiming took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled thick smoke: "We talked...very good?"

"What a good way?" Leng Feng looked at him strangely.

Chen Yiming said: "The scholar talked to me a lot, and made me understand a lot of things..."

Leng Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who the hell is he?"

Chen Yiming shook his head: "Don't ask."

Leng Feng wondered: "Is he a Japanese spy?!"

Chen Yiming: "No."

Leng Feng: "Then he is...the Communist Party?!"

Chen Yiming took another puff of cigarette: "Let's not worry about these things that have nothing to do with us. The scholar is very reasonable. I just hope that the scholar can help us persuade the butterfly so that we can successfully complete the task. I will bring you all back alive. "

After hearing this, Leng Feng looked at Chen Yiming in disbelief: "Do you really think that the scholar has such a good eloquence?"

Chen Yiming turned around and said, "Do you think... I'm such an easy person to convince?"

Leng Feng quickly replied: "No...of course not."

Chen Yiming smiled: "Then you have to admire his eloquence. It's just that I am reasonable; but women can't be reasonable when it comes to feelings."

"But...what if the scholar can't convince Butterfly?"

"Then go hard."

"Take it hard? - If we don't use the inside line of Butterfly, even if we can kill Nakamura, we will all die."

After hearing this, Chen Yiming thought for a while and said softly: "Leng Feng, you are the only remaining seed of the 88th Division's special agent company. If you think this mission is too dangerous, I think you still have a choice. You don't have to participate in the operation, and With your skill, I believe you can escape from Nanjing smoothly!"

After Leng Feng heard this, his face immediately became serious: "Staff Chen! Do you think I will do this?"

Chen Yiming stopped talking.

Leng Feng looked at Chen Yiming seriously: "Chen Staff Officer, if you think we have to die this time, then even if I am the only one left, I will accompany you!"

After hearing this, Chen Yiming looked at Leng Feng movedly: "Brother, with you by my side, I won't be alone even if I go to the underworld..."

After hearing this, Leng Feng couldn't help being moved: "Mr. Chen, not only me, but also the dead brothers of our 88th Division spy company. We won't be alone!"

After Chen Yiming listened, he looked at Leng Feng resolutely, and raised his right fist: "We live together and die together!"

Leng Feng also raised his right fist: "We live together and die together!"

The two fists collided powerfully.

Almost at the same time, in the wine cellar, the scholar and the butterfly were having a difficult conversation:
"Scholar, stop trying to persuade me! I know that Nakamura is a Japanese spy and invader, and his hands are stained with Chinese blood! You...or anyone among you can kill Nakamura, but I can't—I can't kill my child's father with my own hands!"

"Butterfly, I know, this is bad news for you, and it is a very difficult thing to do, but—"

"You just think it's bad news?"

The scholar was stunned after hearing this: "So, you still love him?"

Butterfly looked up at the scholar without answering.

The scholar sighed slowly: "Emotions are indeed the most subtle things in this world - people are not plants, and no one can be ruthless. Butterfly, I understand you!"

Butterfly looked at the scholar and was stunned: "What did you just say - understand me? You..."

The scholar nodded: "Yes, I not only understand you, but also sympathize with you. Using a child to threaten his mother, and then using the child's mother to kill the child's father - no matter what, this is the world I have seen One of the cruelest conspiracies in the world! From this point of view, this is too cruel..."

After hearing this, Butterfly couldn't help but shed tears again...

The scholar looked at the butterfly and sighed, and handed her a handkerchief: "You are the mother of the child, I sympathize with you!"

Butterfly was in extreme pain: "But what can it do? After all, Nakamura is a Japanese spy, he deserves to die, but why is it me who killed him? Why?!"

Seeing Butterfly's question, the scholar hurriedly interjected: "Butterfly, do you think Nakamura... really deserves to die?"

Butterfly's complexion immediately turned dark: "Yes, I did love him, and I believe he loved me too... But, who has experienced the Jinling massacre, who else would like the Japanese? How can more than 30 people like the Japanese?" ——There are more than 30 living Chinese people! Just being treated like that by them... really bleeds like a river!"

When the scholar heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head.

Butterfly went on to say: "I have personally seen tens of thousands of Chinese being massacred. The whole city of Nanjing is like a slaughterhouse! The ground is soaked in blood. Every step I run, the blood under my feet seems to stick me. I am from Nanjing, I dare not recall all this! I am a singer, I am sensual, I just want to forget all this! But now, you let me kill Nakamura and the father of the child with my own hands-I can’t do it I can't do it no matter what. I hate the Japanese and I hate Nakamura, but I still can't - I really can't!"

Butterfly said, crying even more painfully.

The scholar paused for a while, then asked her softly: "If... If we make a compromise, do you think it will work?"

"A compromise?" Butterfly raised her head in astonishment.

"In this way - you don't have to sanction Nakamura yourself, but someone else will do it; but you must lure Nakamura out -"

"You mean...you want me to be the bait?"

"Yes, if you would—"

"You want me to be the bait to lure him out?!"

"Yes, this is the only way we can find Nakamura."

"But, have you ever thought about it, it's one thing if I don't face him now; once I face him, then...even I dare not say what I will do—"

"You only need to lure Nakamura to appear under Leng Feng's gun for five seconds - and it's done."

"You want me to watch him die with my own eyes?!"

"No, we will hide nearby and immediately cover your evacuation. If you need to repair the gun, I will do it instead of you."

After the scholar finished speaking, he looked at Butterfly expectantly, but Butterfly looked at the scholar with strange eyes——

"You...why do you seem to be a different person suddenly, not like the scholar you were yesterday?"

The scholar sighed, with a heavy tone: "Because there is not only one child, not only one mother, and not only one father in China! For the sake of thousands of children, mothers and fathers, we must do this! Otherwise, the pain of losing a father You are not the only child, and you are not the only one who lost your husband. Don't you understand this truth?"

Butterfly looked at the scholar and stopped talking.Although emotionally she still can't turn the corner, but intellectually, she knows that the scholar's words are right.

Butterfly thought for a while: "Scholar, let me think again, okay?"

The scholar nodded: "Okay, just...don't take too long."

In the church hall, the children's mass has not yet been finished.The scholar came over gently and stood behind Chen Yiming.

Chen Yiming asked: "Agreed?"

"I haven't finally agreed... But, she's shaken."

Chen Yiming glanced at the scholar and nodded, "Sit down and listen for a while."

The scholar sighed.Sit down slowly: "Are you religious?"

Chen Yiming shook his head: "No, although I have studied in Germany, my father respected Confucianism and Zeng Guofan, but not foreign religions, so I grew up watching "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter", but now I suddenly feel that Mass It's very nice, I haven't heard such beautiful music for a long time."

In the distance, Father Sal was playing the organ; beside him, a group of well-dressed children were singing carefree.

Chen Yiming sighed deeply while listening: "The war seems to be far away from me at this moment."

The scholar listened and did not speak.After a while, Butterfly walked over slowly, knelt down in front of the Jesus statue, with tears on his face——

Butterfly prayed silently: "I'm sorry, I love you...but, I must kill you!"

Beside her, the children still sing reverently;
Behind her, all the team members gave her sympathetic and approving glances...

In the general manager's office of Jinling Hotel, the lights were still on.Huang Yunqing, head of the Nanjing Intelligence Station of my underground party, was standing in front of the window with a glass of red wine, thinking.

Manager Lin knocked on the door and walked in: "The traffic officer just sent information that the military commander has kidnapped Smith, and he should have passed the blockade now."

Huang Yunqing turned around, her face full of exclamation: "Sure enough, they are well-trained rangers! Although I guessed that they would attack in the hospital, I didn't expect them to act so fast and plan so smartly and thoughtfully! Become a performance team... Hehe, only Chen Yiming can think of it!"

Manager Lin said: "Comrade Jinyu, I don't think the behavior of these people is like professional secret agents, but more like..."

"Military action." Huang Yunqing interrupted unavoidably.

Manager Lin said: "Yes. Secret agents seldom use such methods in operations behind enemy lines. Directional blasting, three-dimensional infiltration, and long-range sniping - this is a typical military commando style. But they can speak Japanese, and they can understand magic performances, Japanese singing and dancing, with women and short-sighted eyes in the middle - this made me wonder again, it seems that the army would not have such characters."

After hearing this, Huang Yunqing frowned unconsciously: "Ace of Spades, have you sent the detailed information about the Death Squad?"

Manager Lin said: "Not yet. The Japanese army has strengthened the blockade of the city, and it is now difficult for our underground transportation to enter the city, because the intelligence information it carries is very important, so he dare not take risks; once the Japanese army finds out, this death squad will be completely exposed It is now in the sight of the Japanese army, we will not be able to help, but will add to the chaos, so I asked him to wait."

Huang Yunqing analyzed: "Judging from the situation of their disguised Japanese performance team, the main members should be agents, but such capable operational agents are indeed rare in the Military Command. If my judgment is correct, this Ranger Team of the Military Command must be professional soldiers. out of training."

Manager Lin: "You mean... trained by professional soldiers?"

Huang Yunqing: "Yes, it is the kind of professional soldier with overseas study background. This ranger adopts the assault tactics of airborne infiltration, which is consistent with the assault tactics of the German Airborne Forces, which have been mentioned in the world's airborne troops tactics textbooks. record, so I made such a judgment.”

After hearing this, Manager Lin immediately widened his eyes in surprise: "Comrade Jinyu, I really admire you for knowing so much! Although I was also a military cadre in the base area, I really don't know anything about airborne troops."

Huang Yunqing said: "That's because I have had the opportunity to meet these people. They are young officers of the German Airborne Forces studying abroad. Most of these people died in the Songhu battlefield. Only a few survivors drifted to the It is a pity that the whereabouts of the various places are still unknown, but if these young officers can be used by us, they will definitely show their talents on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.”

"Hey, if that's the case, why didn't we focus on instigating outstanding talents like this when we were engaged in military operations in the Kuomintang army?" After finishing speaking, Manager Lin looked at Huang Yunqing puzzled.
