"Mr. Shen, it's a misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!"

Ding Zhijian also noticed the other side's posture of wanting to start a war, and quickly spoke up to explain.

"They must have mistaken us for Japanese soldiers! They're definitely not after you, it's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

Ding Zhijian was extremely nervous, fearing that Shen Wang might misunderstand the organization because of this, and the losses would be immeasurable.

Shen Wang risked his life for them. If he were to leave because of a misunderstanding with his comrades, Ding Zhijian would be guilty beyond redemption!

"That's right, Master, this must be a misunderstanding!"

"Mr. Shen, please don't fire!"

Sha Zhenjiang and Meng Guanglin also offered words of comfort.

Shen Wang was not angry at all; on the contrary, he found it somewhat amusing.

"Don't be nervous, I understand."

Seeing that Shen Wang's tone was normal and he did not seem angry, Ding Zhijian and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shen, let me go down and negotiate with them! If one of the soldiers gets nervous and accidentally fires, the misunderstanding will escalate!"

Ding Zhijian volunteered, saying that the current situation needed to be resolved immediately.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang pondered for a moment and nodded.

This is the safest approach at the moment. We can't just drive a Type 99A mortar over them, or wait for them to throw grenades before trying to explain ourselves; by then, it'll be too late.

"Okay, go ahead, but be careful."

Then he ordered the vehicle to reverse: "Little Sand, reverse! Maintain distance, back up to outside their effective firing range!"

Shen Wang was also afraid that if things went wrong and Old Ding killed him, then everything would be over!

Sha Zhenjiang immediately took over the operation, and after a day of driving, he had completely mastered the skills of driving a tank.

Rumbling--

Under the astonished gaze of the soldiers of the 99A Cavalry Company, instead of advancing, they began to retreat steadily.

They retreated until they were several hundred meters away from the ambush zone, at a relatively safe distance, before stopping.

Then, a hatch on the side of the 99A turret was pushed open from the inside, and Ding Zhijian crawled out from inside.

"Comrades on the other side! Don't fire! They're on our side! We're on our side—!!"

……

Behind the earthen slope, Li Yunlong held up his binoculars, somewhat bewildered.

"Hey! That's weird! Why is this metal turtle reversing? And someone even crawled out of it?"

He muttered to himself, his binoculars locked on the figure with its hands raised, gradually approaching.

"Commander, judging from their appearance... they really don't seem to be Japanese soldiers or collaborators." Sun Desheng, who was standing to the side, also noticed something amiss.

Monk Wei scratched his head: "Then what the hell is going on..."

Li Yunlong harbored many doubts but remained highly vigilant.

He thought for a moment, then yelled at the top of his lungs, "Listen up, you over there! You're alone, walk over here slowly! Put your hands up so I can see you clearly!"

He was alone, so he wasn't afraid of what tricks the other side might pull.

Ding Zhijian did as instructed, raising his hands and slowly approaching step by step.

When he was about fifty meters away from the position, Li Yunlong gave him a signal, and Wei Heshang immediately led two agile soldiers to search him.

"Commander, it's very clean!" Monk Wei reported.

Li Yunlong then stood up from behind the earthen mound: "I said... who are you?"

Looking at the fierce-looking commander in front of him, Ding Zhijian became even more certain that this was his comrade.

Clothes can be faked, but the temperament developed through years of hardship, hunger, and hiding cannot be faked.

"Comrade, my name is Ding Zhijian. I originally belonged to the Beiping intelligence group, but I was exposed not long ago and just escaped from Beiping City."

"What?"

"You're Ding Zhijian?"

Old Li was completely dumbfounded.

The person they risked everything to meet had appeared before them in such a ridiculous way?

But... something's not right?

Didn't headquarters say it was an armored vehicle?

How did it turn into a tank?

Li Yunlong was filled with shock and disbelief.

Fortunately, headquarters gave him a secret code before he set off.

The code was known only to genuine agents infiltrating Beiping.

"The nightingales sing in Beiping city; how many branches will sprout in spring?"

Ok?

When this code was given, it was Ding Zhijian's turn to be dumbfounded!

This code is one of the highest-level emergency communication codes used by their underground organization in Beiping.

It is only activated when the organization faces a devastating blow or when key personnel need to be identified, and its scope of knowledge is extremely limited!

"Who are you? How do you know this phrase? Who told you?"

Ding Zhijian immediately went into a state of high alert.

Li Yunlong quickly explained, "Don't be nervous. Headquarters already knows about the 'Nightingale' group in Beiping and has specifically ordered my unit to come and provide support."

"However, to prove your identities, please say the rest of the sentence!"

boom--

In an instant, Ding Zhijian's eyes reddened!

This man, who had endured severe torture for over ten days without flinching, suddenly felt like bursting into tears!

It's an organization!

The organization did not abandon them!

And the highest level of security was used!

Ding Zhijian's lips trembled, a slight sob in his voice: "...Unfazed by the clouds obscuring my view, for I stand at the highest peak!"

It matches up!

Li Yunlong suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ding Zhijian's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously:

"Comrades, we've finally found you! You've suffered so much!"

Ding Zhijian held Li Yunlong's large hand tightly, biting his lip. He had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

Li Yunlong held Ding Zhijian's hand tightly, refusing to let go, and asked again, "Comrade Ding, what's the deal with that iron...that tank?"

Although Ding Zhijian's identity was confirmed, Old Li still had many doubts.

First of all, how did the armored vehicle become a tank?

Also, how did they escape?

Ding Zhijian took a deep breath and began to explain to Li Yunlong what had happened along the way.

"Commander Li, it's a long story, and all of this is thanks to Mr. Shen..."

From causing chaos in Beiping (Beijing) to shelling Morita's battalion, and then to taking on ten Type 95 heavy tanks head-on...

Ding Zhijian described it vividly!

Li Yunlong and the cavalry soldiers stared wide-eyed as they listened!

"hiss--!"

A collective gasp rippled across the battlefield.

Even Sun Desheng, the tough cavalry company commander, felt his throat go dry and muttered, "My God..."

Along the way, the enemy not only emerged unscathed, but also killed over a thousand Japanese soldiers.

They even... destroyed ten Type 95 heavy tanks?

They wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong was not only shocked but also filled with lingering fear.

Thankfully, he didn't rush up and fight that tank; he really couldn't win!

"Comrade Zhijian! Don't say anything more! Quickly! Take Old Li to meet this Mr. Shen!"

"Old Li has never admired many people in his life, but this Mr. Shen is definitely one of them!"

"That was a brilliantly fought battle!"

Li Yunlong's face was full of admiration.

For no other reason than that Shen Wang dared to withstand the simultaneous firing of nine cannons from the Japanese tanks, Old Li admired him from the bottom of his heart!

Moreover, instead of fleeing when surrounded by the Japanese, they wanted to annihilate the Japanese.

This temperament and this courage suited Li Yunlong's taste perfectly.

To show his respect, Li Yunlong ordered his troops to remain in place, while he took only Wei Heshang with him to meet Shen Wang.

Sun Desheng quickly stopped Li Yunlong: "Commander, why don't you take a few more men?"

Li Yunlong glared at him with his big eyes and said irritably, "What? Do you think I, Old Li, am a spineless coward?"

"Besides, even if I brought you all along, would it make a difference?"

Sun Desheng thought about it and realized it was indeed true.

Even if they brought their entire cavalry company, they still couldn't defeat that tank.

Armor that even a 70mm tank can't penetrate, so having a large number of people is useless.

"Alright, you guys wait here."

After saying that, Li Yunlong led Wei Heshang and followed Ding Zhijian toward the 99A tank in the distance.

As you get closer to 99A, you can feel that sense of oppression even more clearly.

Especially its cannon barrel, which is as terrifying as a 105mm howitzer.

"Tsk tsk tsk...no wonder it could penetrate the Japanese Type 95 heavy tank!"

To be honest, Li Yunlong had never seen such a thick and long tank gun barrel before.

On the other side, Ding Zhijian stepped forward and shouted into the tank compartment, "Mr. Shen! Guanglin! Zhenjiang! Come out, it's one of us! It's a comrade sent by headquarters to pick us up!"

The hatch opened, and several people stepped out.

Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang were both visibly excited.

"Old Ding, what did you say? This comrade was sent by headquarters?"

Ding Zhijian nodded and said, "That's right, it's a unit specially sent by the headquarters leaders to pick us up. I've already confirmed it!"

Now, Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang were even more excited.

Having escaped from a desperate situation and hearing news from the organization again, both tough men felt like crying.

Ding Zhijian turned to Li Yunlong and said, "Commander Li, this is Meng Guanglin, and this is Sha Zhenjiang. They belong to the Beiping Nightingale Group with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong quickly stepped forward, shook hands with each of them, and greeted them.

"Comrade Guanglin, Comrade Zhenjiang, you've worked hard! I'm late!"

"It's not too late, it's not too late..."

The group exchanged pleasantries.

At this moment, Shen Wang also came over.

picture!so similar!

He's practically Li Yunlong himself!

Ding Zhijian quickly introduced them: "Mr. Shen, this is Commander Li Yunlong, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Commander Li, this is the man I told you about, our savior, Mr. Shen Mingyuan!"

Li Yunlong turned to look at Shen Wang.

So young!

He was younger than he had imagined.

"Mr. Shen! I'm just a rough man, I don't know how to use fancy words! But I've heard everything Comrade Zhijian has told me about what you've done!"

"Amazing! Absolutely fucking amazing!"

"Old Li admires you! On behalf of the Independent Regiment and the Eighth Route Army, thank you!"

"Thank you for saving our comrades! Thank you for teaching those damn Japanese devils a lesson!"

Shen Wang smiled, stretched out his hands, and shook hands tightly with Li Yunlong's large hands.

"Commander Li... I've heard so much about you!"
