Chapter 291 Eagle Castle
"Rebellion!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Fang Hao would never betray! Put me down, put me down!"
Jiang Feiyan yelled at the top of her lungs and even struggled to get down.
Yuan Shuai didn't indulge her and just let go.
But Jiang Feiyan ran so far that her legs could not even stand and she fell to the ground. The pain was so severe that tears welled up in her eyes.
But she still spoke with tears in her eyes, biting her teeth.
"You are lying, Fang Hao can't be a traitor!"
Jiang Feiyan's voice was very loud, and the underground couriers behind her looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing it.
Yu Fei staggered over and said.
"Yuan, General Yuan, this can't be true. Fang Hao has information about the equipment at the Jinling Arsenal. If he really betrayed, the Japanese would have found the equipment long ago! But now the Japanese still haven't found the equipment, which is enough to prove that Fang Hao didn't betray! We should find a way to rescue Fang Hao!"
"Yu Fei is right. Fang Hao can't possibly betray. You just don't want to save him and are trying to find an excuse for yourself!"
Jiang Feiyan pointed at Yuan Shuai's nose and roared.
Yuan Shuai was not angry. He just took out the wine jug, took a sip leisurely, and then spoke.
"I know it's hard for you to imagine, but this is the news I got from Geng Xiangyu, the director of Huangying City. And I went to the police station and released all the criminals there. I didn't see Fang Hao at all!"
"Impossible, impossible..."
Jiang Feiyan cried and roared like a madman.
"Shut up, there are Japanese soldiers chasing us. Are you trying to attract them?"
Yuan Shuai's voice forced her to shut her mouth and not dare to do anything wrong.
However, Yu Fei still said unwillingly.
"Yuan Shuai, could this be a mistake?"
"Impossible! Geng Xiangyu is afraid of death. I have a knife on his neck. He can't lie. Besides, the Military Control Commission members are not in the police station. They must have defected!"
"Don't spit on others!"
Fang Yongqing, who had been silent the whole time, pointed at Yuan Shuai's nose and refuted.
"The Military Control Commission carries poison with them. Even if they commit suicide by taking poison, they can't possibly betray us!"
"I don't want to waste time talking to you. The most important thing now is to evacuate. Evacuate quickly before daybreak!"
Yuan Shuai turned his head and looked at Hu Dacai and said.
"Contact Monkey on the radio station and ask Fatty Monkey and Lao Jiang's team to come over to help..."
Hu Dacai quickly asked the signalman to send a telegram to Lao Jiang.
"General Yuan, this place is not far away. It is one of our bases. Why don't you come over there and take a rest first? What do you think?"
Yu Fei’s words made everyone look at each other in surprise.
Especially Fang Yongqing, who coughed a few times and said.
"Brother Yu, we are in a hurry to get on with our journey, so we won't disturb you!"
As a member of the Military Control Commission, Fang Yongqing certainly does not want Yuan Shuai to have too much contact with the Eighth Route Army. In case Yu Fei pulls Yuan Shuai and the Black Wolf Army over and turns them into the Eighth Route Army, they will be the biggest enemy of their National Army in the future.
He must prevent this from happening.
"How far is it?"
Yuan Shuai did not refuse.
Although his men could run, Jiang Feiyan couldn't.
Moreover, the Japanese planes would definitely look for them everywhere during the day, so he had to find a safe place to rest.
"Less than ten miles!"
Yu Fei answered quickly.
"Okay, go to your place and rest first, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"
"General Yuan, we should continue to retreat. If the enemy finds us, we won't be able to hold out with so few people!"
Fang Yongqing quickly found an excuse.
"Your people can't run anymore, how can you run anymore? Go to Lao Yu's place and rest first!"
"..."
Fang Yongqing glanced at his brothers a few times, and seeing how tired they looked, he could only shut up.
After all, he could hardly run anymore.
If I fall behind, I might as well go to Lao Yu's place.
At the very least, he can still follow Yuan Shuai, which is safer.
Once you fall behind, you will die together with the Japanese.
In the distance, Eagle Castle.
There were more than a hundred civilians living there, as well as a dozen guerrillas.
Originally they had more than eighty people, but they were ambushed by the Japanese last time, and only twelve of the eighty guerrillas returned.
The others were either killed in battle or captured.
Although Yuan Shuai had released all the criminals in Police Shu before.
But the people inside knew that they could not get out of the county, so they could only find a place to hide inside the county to avoid being caught by the Japanese and puppet troops.
Moreover, their guerrilla leader died in that battle.
The highest-ranking commander here is just a squad leader named Shi Dashan, nicknamed Shitou.
When Shi Tou was feeling sad, a sentry came running over.
"Squad leader, something bad has happened!"
"Damn it, they actually chased us here. Tell the people to evacuate to the back hills. Everyone else, follow me to the front to stop the Japs!"
Shitou roared and quickly led the team towards the village entrance.
Feiying Fort is just a small mountain village.
However, the mountain village is located on top of a hill.
The entire mountain village is located on a high ground, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
A guerrilla brother rang the bell in the village square, and all the villagers got up and walked towards the back mountain.
Shitou and his eleven brothers ran to the village entrance and set up their rifles.
Through the moonlight, a figure could be vaguely seen walking at the foot of the mountain. Shi Tou gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
"These damn guys must be the Japanese scouts. Wait until they get within 30 meters before shooting. Try to kill them all and seize their weapons and equipment!"
Yuan Shuai and others didn't know that there was an ambush here, and they mistook them for Japanese devils.
However, Yuan Shuai felt something was wrong and immediately said to Yu Fei.
"You should arrange for someone to contact us first. It's hard to see people clearly at night. If someone mistakes them for Japanese soldiers and kills them, it will be a big loss!"
Yu Fei nodded and quickly arranged for one of his men to step forward.
"Damn it, why did you stop!"
"Why is there only one person coming? Don't shoot, let him come first!"
Shitou saw that only one figure continued to move forward, and quickly told the team not to open fire.
After all, there were only eleven of them, ten rifles and a Czech machine gun.
He had to let the Japanese behind him in before he could open fire.
However, the figure was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped fifty meters away from them and imitated a few cuckoo calls.
"One of our own?!"
Shitou was startled and quickly imitated the cuckoo's call a few times.
"Brothers up there, we're from the county's underground transportation station, we're one of us!"
As soon as the brothers below spoke, the stone in Shi Tou's heart finally fell to the ground.
He thought that the people who came this time were the Japanese. If that was the case, he would definitely die here in order to protect the common people.
But I didn't expect that the person who came was one of our own.
He shouted loudly with excitement.
"How many of you are here? Is Lao Yu here?"
"Here they come. Lao Yu is right behind us! And Yuan Shuai is here too!"
"Yuan Shuai?!"
Shi Tou was so excited that tears flowed out of his eyes.
He had known Yuan Shuai's name for a long time, but he had never had the chance to meet him. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shuai actually came.
