Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 374: The end of the adventure

As Shirane said by himself, as a naval officer of the Japanese empire, how could he not swim. He has swimed several famous seashores along the coast of Japan, and he has some confidence in his water quality.

But after he jumped into the Yangtze River, he realized that reality and imagination are completely different. The Jiangtian Island Naval Academy has strict swimming courses, but they have never been taught how to escape in the rushing river water.

As soon as Baigen jumped into the water, he took a sigh of relief, and swam a distance against the direction of the river, because he was afraid that the coworkers on the boat would shoot at him. In fact, his judgment was very correct. The distraught workers did shoot into the river indiscriminately from behind. Unfortunately, these people just learned to pull the trigger an hour or two ago. Even with a fixed target, they may not be able to hit, let alone. It was shooting at a moving target in the river on a swaying ship.

At this time, the wooden boat was still descending rapidly along the river, and when Shirane emerged from the water, he found that in just ten seconds, the boat had already left itself about 30 meters away.

The boatmen apparently also found Shirane's trail at this moment, but no one had the guts to jump into the water to catch the escaped Japanese. They are just trackers and boatmen who are hardworking. Knowing how to sail does not mean that they are familiar with water. So a group of people could only shoot randomly, and then watched the black dots in the river quickly leave them.

Fifeo Shirane was in a crisis of life again at this time. He was not ready to go into the water. He was still wearing the full set of clothes before. The Chinese-style cloth buckle was difficult to untie with one hand, and the tightly wound cloth The waistband was soaked in water that it could not be torn, the trouser legs were tightly wrapped around the legs, and the cloth that had soaked up the river water dragged people down.

Heavy clothing severely interfered with Shirane's swimming movements, coupled with the turbulent water flow, at this time he spent several times more effort than usual for every second he persisted on the water. Soon Baigen was a little unable to hold on. He felt that his physical strength was declining rapidly, and the effect of adrenaline began to fade away. His head became severely painful again, and after a few more sips of water, Baigen began to worry about himself. Perhaps you will never be able to swim on the bank of the river that seems so close at hand.

"Tas opened the bag! (Help!)" The lieutenant of the navy couldn't help crying for help, but before he called twice, he was hit by a wave of waves, and Shiragen choked on the muddy river again.

At this moment, Feifu Shiragen is almost desperate. His limbs are gradually losing strength, and his lungs are painful as if he inhaled a handful of gravel. When he was panicked, his movements were completely out of shape, and he could only swing his eyes mechanically with his eyes closed. The arm slapped the water indiscriminately. Just when Shirone was about to give up struggling, suddenly a solid arm strangled the navy lieutenant's neck from behind, and Shigen felt a pain in the back of his head, and immediately went black and unconscious.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying under a big tree. The warm sunlight passed through the treetop and shone straight on his face. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and mud. Shiragen turned to the side and started coughing violently. His lungs had actually inhaled a lot of river water before.

"I thought you would be unconscious for a long time, Lieutenant." A familiar voice suddenly remembered in my ear. Supporting Shiogen's back with both hands, helped him sit up.

"Cough cough cough..." Shirane coughed fiercely, trying to clear his airway. He felt a little blurred in his vision, but he could still make out the face of the person in front of him.

"Adjutant Liu...Did you save me?" Shirae recalled the moment he was about to drown. The memory behind was not very clear, but after a little reasoning, he wanted to get it and saved his life. It was the Chinese officer in front of him.

"Sorry for knocking you out, Lieutenant. You know the situation at the time. Otherwise, I can't take you ashore." Lieutenant Liu said with a smile.

"No, no, no need to apologize." Shiragen improved a little, and he hurriedly shook his arm.

"I don't know how to thank you, Liu Sang, I owe you two lives. No matter what happens in the future, you will be a good friend of my life." Shirane said gratefully, recalling now With the helplessness and despair in the Yangtze River, Shiragen still felt afraid for a while.

"It is my honor to have the friendship of Baigensang." Adjutant Liu helped Baigen to sit on the tree trunk.

"I didn't expect your swimming skills to be so good. I never thought that Yangtze River would be so dangerous." Baigen coughed a few times before exhaling a long breath.

At this time, he realized that his clothes had been taken off, leaving only a loincloth all over his body.

"I'm looking for a place to dry the wet clothes. Now you need to take a break to regain strength." Adjutant Liu is also wearing only a pair of big pants. What makes Bai Gen curious is that his two calves are like leggings. Wrap the same cloth strips.

"This is..." Shiragen asked, pointing to Lieutenant Liu's calf.

"Are you asking this? This is the guarantee that we will return to the imperial army alive." Lieutenant Liu looked down, then answered with a smile.

"Captain Wu didn’t believe in Boss Qi, so he gave the remaining thirty-two gold bars with him to me for safekeeping. The boatmen didn’t know how to search and only took away the pen and The pocket watch missed this huge fortune." Liu Jianchang knelt down and patted his leggings.

"You carried a load of almost one kilogram, and you wore clothes to swim such a long distance in the Yangtze River, and you still have enough energy to save me?" Baigen felt a little weird.

"I grew up by the Yellow River when I was a child. I have good swimming skills and good physical strength. If you know some more skills, this is not impossible." Adjutant Liu patted his chest and showed his strong muscles. , Said he is a thin man wearing clothes.

"Let’s not talk about this for now. I went to the neighborhood. There was a dirt road not far from here. Looking at the traces, many people walked by the road. Obviously there is a small village nearby. Waiting for the clothes to dry. After we did it, we set off and figured out a way to get some food and replacement clothing." Adjutant Liu proposed to Baigen.

"Now it's all up to you, and I completely obey your arrangements." Shiragen was full of trust in Lieutenant Liu at this time.

"Okay, then you take a rest here, I'll go and see if the clothes are dry." Adjutant Liu patted Bai Gen on the shoulder, then stood up cautiously and got out of the bushes on the side.

It was almost evening when a foreigner came up to Liumu Town on the bank of the Sichuan River. At first glance, it looks like something has happened. There is only one set of clothes and pants on the whole body, no luggage items, and no shoes on the feet. This is a very common sight in these days. It is either a thief or a ship. Difficult, one or two of these guys who don’t know if they are lucky or unlucky come to this town every month.

However, these two foreigners are a little different from the others, and they don't have the look of a lost dog. They asked the townspeople for the address of the bank's bank account in the town, and when they came out of the bank called Fuxin, the two of them had changed a lot.

Liu Jianchang exchanged five taels of gold bars in the silver account. The owner of the silver account was a bit cheating, and he could see that they were waiting for the money. Didn’t they see that they both ran away with their shoes, so they tried their best Depressed the price. At this time, Liu Jianchang didn't want to make any extravagances, anyway, gold belongs to Wu Dewei, and when people are in trouble, they have no stance to care about.

But that's it. Five taels of gold have also been exchanged for a full 170 yuan to the ocean. The principle of Shengshi antique chaotic gold is the same everywhere in the country. Although the Republic of China does not use gold as currency, the preservation of gold has become a hard currency that merchants are keen to reserve, and the exchange price has been rising steadily.

In the early days of the Republic of China, one or two gold in the Beiyang era could be exchanged for 30 yuan big head. By the 1940s, the value of gold had almost risen by half, and if the war continues like this, it may increase by one in the future. Fan.

The shopkeeper knew that he had hacked the other party a lot, so he couldn’t do too much, so when Liu Jianchang asked him to sell some clothing and daily necessities on his behalf, the boss immediately agreed enthusiastically. The support buddy went to the garment shop in the town to call for service. After half a day of Kung Fu Baigen and Liu Jianchang changed their faces, looking like two businessmen going out to discuss business.

At this time, Liu Jianchang estimated that Boss Qi’s transport ship should have found the dock and docked. Maybe the boatmen are reporting to the government at this time. However, Liu Jianchang is not very worried about this, because in accordance with the efficiency of the national government and local governments, even if it is a large case, when the lower level reports are up, the higher level will approve it level by level, and then mobilize the military and police forces in each county and township. Searching, this series of processes will take three or four days at the earliest, and by then, he will have already run a hundred miles.

However, walking along the Yangtze River is absolutely impossible. Now I can only pass through the mountains in eastern Sichuan, because these places are all blank areas controlled by the government.

The management of the villages and castles in the mountains are all local clan forces. They are completely holding the mentality of the emperor from the sky. They don’t pay attention to the government’s decree. There are also various religious altars everywhere. , Such as the Red Flag Club Iron Gun Club and the United British Club, many altars have been circulating since the Qing Dynasty.

Nowadays, what white lotus, red flags and red lights are shining all over the mountains in Sichuan and Shushan. There are hundreds of such groups in ten miles and eight townships, and the National Government is simply unable to manage them. Even many local officials in the towns and counties are in the altar. Some of the leaders of the cult have some connections, so these obvious cults and rituals are left to flourish.

After making up the idea of ​​going back through the mountains, the two did not stay in the town for too long. The next day, under the introduction of the hotel owner, they spent 30 yuan as a reward and took a trip to Pakistan. The county caravan. Unexpectedly, halfway down the road, while resting in a certain village, Liu Jianchang and Bai Gen accidentally ran into Zhao Fugui.

At the dinner table, Liu Jianchang found out that Zhao Fugui was a smuggler and was about to transport a batch of goods back to Hubei from a small road. This happened to be in the arms of Liu Jianchang who wanted to avoid the counties and towns of Jiang'an.

So Liu Jianchang spent a full fifty yuan in the ocean and asked Zhao Fugui to send the two of them to the shore of Qingjiang River. At that time, this was not a small sum of money, enough for a family for two or three months. Zhao Fugui agreed immediately, because with two people, even if there was any evil intentions, they couldn't make any waves in the caravan. Looking at the two people, they didn't look like bandits and bandits' eyeliners, Zhao Fugui. Can't find any reason not to make this money.

Originally, there was nothing wrong, but it was unexpected that Shiran had an argument with a Miao hunter near Enshi, accidentally revealing the identity of the Japanese again. Zhao Fugui immediately approached Liu Jianchang for the theory. Although he smuggled cigarettes, he had never been a traitor. He regarded Shirane as a spy sent by Japan into the government-controlled area, and he was afraid that he would accidentally be implicated in him and cause some murder.

Liu Jianchang tried his best to explain to Zhao Fugui that all methods of coercion, profit and temptation were used. In the end, it was the power of money that overwhelmed the little businessman’s little patriotism. The price Liu Jianchang paid for this was that Zhao Twenty taels of gold were taken away by wealth. As I said before, as long as there is a large enough temptation for profit, the greed of businessmen will make them trample on all fear and conscience.

Finally, Zhao Fugui is a creditable smuggler~IndoMTL.com~ believes that since he took the money, he must fight with others. This caravan has overcome numerous obstacles and traversed countless steep mountains, although there were some bumps and bumps, there was no major accident.

In this way, Liu Jianchang kept looking for opportunities to chat with Zhao Fugui, and finally successfully aroused the greed of this smuggler. Under Liu Jianchang's repeated hints and guidance, the little businessman began to dream of being able to hug the Japanese thigh, and from then on, relying on the Japanese power to make a fortune. ⑧☆miào⑧☆bi(.*)gé⑧☆.＄.

Speaking of which, Zhao Fugui did have some knowledge on the front line of Sichuan and Hubei. He did not break his promise, and easily found a cargo ship willing to carry them on the Qingjiang River.

So after more than ten days of hardships and several life and death tribulations, Lieutenant Fifeo Shirane, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force, finally returned to the Japanese-controlled area and his own territory one day in early October.
