Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Since the Japanese government has been refusing to sign the armistice agreement, the remaining Japanese troops in Northeast China have been separated from the larger troops, and the small groups of scattered Japanese troops that still have combat capabilities are still resisting, causing a lot of trouble for the local area. Although Kang Fan had ordered Li The captain led the special forces to conduct a comprehensive clearing. However, due to the vast area where the Japanese troops roamed, the number of special forces was small, and the time was short, the clearing was not yet complete.

Since the war started, Mei Xiang and He Shuixiu have been busy with refugee relief work, while Kang Fan has been busy directing operations and have not seen each other. As the war situation has rapidly improved, the refugees have begun to return home one after another. There are fewer and fewer people staying at the refugee sites, and the workload is increasing. Significantly reduced. After learning that Kang Fan was stationed in Andong by the Yalu River, Mei Xiang and He Shuixiu brought their medicine boxes and took a military vehicle of the logistics force to visit Kang Fan. However, the soldiers of the logistics force who drove the car did not recognize them. Dressed in white, he mistakenly thought he was just an ordinary medical rescue worker and agreed.

When approaching Anton, the convoy was suddenly attacked by a group of Japanese skirmishers. During the fierce battle, each vehicle accelerated away from the battlefield while fighting back. Since the cab of each vehicle was full of people, Mei Xiang and He Shuixiu had no choice but to They squeezed into two cars separately and could not stay together. In the chaos, the two cars separated. After the Jin army troops patrolling nearby heard the news and rushed to defeat the enemy army, they only found Mei Xiang and escorted them to Kangxi. Fan's side. Kang Fan almost fainted after hearing Mei Xiang's cry.

Two days later, a "Chasing the Wind" reconnaissance plane discovered the missing "Iron Horse" military vehicle of the logistics force during the search, located in the mountain forest about 10 kilometers west of Andong County. Kang Fan immediately led a 12-person guard battalion Officers and soldiers rushed to the scene of the accident. Captain Li insisted on recruiting a special operations team to Kang Fan, but Kang Fan refused.

"This accident shows the importance of clearing out the remaining enemy forces in the territory. Your manpower is already insufficient. Obey the order!" Kang Fan said.

Mei Xiang said with tears in her eyes: "Kang Fan, please promise me that you will come back safely with Shui Xiu."

Kang Fan pretended to smile casually and said, "Aren't you relieved that I will go there in person?"

The road was full of mountains and forests. The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were clearing the way on foot, with Kang Fan following behind. Near noon, they discovered the "Iron Horse" military vehicle leaning beside a small river. The military vehicle was loaded with rations and drinking water. Water and fresh fruits, some apples, pears, etc. were scattered on the ground. The car was covered with bruises and gunshot wounds, and it should be impossible to drive. Later, He Shuixiu and 3 were found in a pile of rubble not far from the military vehicle. A seriously injured Jin soldier.

Kang Fan's heart dropped, and he shouted in surprise: "Shui Xiu, brother has found you!"

"Brother Kang?!" He Shuixiu didn't believe this was true, and opened her eyes in confusion.

Kang Fan felt so distressed that his tears flowed involuntarily, and he hugged He Shuixiu tightly in his arms.

It turned out that after being attacked by the Japanese army, there were four soldiers on the military vehicle in addition to the driver. After a gunfight, the military vehicle escaped the Japanese pursuit at high speed. When it was about to return to the road, it discovered that the brakes had failed and it was uncontrollably rolling downwards. The mountain surged all the way to this place before finally stopping. But at this time, it was attacked by several Japanese soldiers, and a small-scale fierce battle broke out again.

Since the self-defense weapons equipped by the logistics troops were Type 96 carbines, which lacked firepower and did not have much ammunition, after relying on military vehicles to resist for a while, they ran out of ammunition and could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the rushing Japanese troops. The four Jin soldiers showed bravery.

All five Japanese soldiers were killed, but one of our own troops was killed and three were seriously injured. Almost the entire army was wiped out.

Kang Fan walked over and checked the injuries of the three soldiers. They were all serious wounds caused by bayonets. He Shuixiu could have left them who had lost the ability to move and went to seek help or escape alone, but she did not. Instead, she collected information and collected information.

The few medicines they received took good care of them for three days and two nights! In such a dangerous mountainous place, amidst a pile of blood-stained rocks, I don’t know what kind of courage she had to survive.

of!

"It's really hard for you." Kang Fan said as he hugged He Shuixiu again and couldn't help but kiss her smooth forehead.

He Shuixiu lay quietly in Kang Fan's arms, tentatively wrapping her arms around Kang Fan's waist, never wanting to let go, "In order to protect me and the truck of supplies, the soldiers risked their lives. I just did my best."

It's just my obligation, what I have done is nothing compared to them!" He Shuixiu said with tears in her eyes.

Kang Fan nodded happily, "You all did a good job."

The officers and soldiers of the guard camp began to cut down branches to make stretchers, preparing to carry the wounded. He Shuixiu had not slept for the past three days. At this moment, the long-term tension and fear disappeared with the arrival of Kang Fan, and she fell asleep in Kang Fan's arms.

Kang Fan went over and held her motionless, watching the officers and soldiers of the guard camp busy.

The sudden sound of gunshots woke He Shuixiu up from his sleep. Looking around, he saw Kang Fan holding a pistol in his left hand and pulling the trigger frantically. Smokey yellow-orange bullet casings kept popping out of the gun chamber. There were several

It rolled down to his feet, warm.

"Kill their machine guns and occupy the high ground on both sides of the river." Kang Fan ordered loudly, threw away his pistol, raised his Type 96 sniper rifle and opened fire violently, killing three Japanese machine gun shooters in a row, suppressing the Japanese machine guns and covering the guards.

The officers and soldiers of the battalion occupied several small surrounding highlands and quickly stabilized the situation.

"Shui Xiu, just lie down behind big brother and don't run around." Kang Fan suddenly changed his tone to an extremely gentle tone and spoke to He Shuixiu, with a smile even escaping from the corner of his mouth, "With big brother here, you don't need to do anything.

Afraid."

He Shuixiu smiled tiredly, and there was really no trace of fear on his face, "As long as big brother is here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Kang Fan patted her face, smiled, turned around and opened fire with a ferocious expression.

There were about seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers in this group. They either followed the gunshots of the previous few days or got reports from their companions. The purpose was obvious, which was to rob the supplies of the military vehicle in order to maintain their ties.

It is unknown how many companions are scattered in the mountains and how many of them survive. Therefore, although their firepower is fierce, they do not aim at the military vehicle. The military vehicle is the safest place.

Taking advantage of the lull in the battle, everyone gathered the wounded beside the military vehicle, built a simple shack, and gave He Shuixiu the first aid kits they carried with them, asking her to take care of the wounded.

In this sudden attack by the Japanese army, 2 officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were killed and 4 were seriously injured. Half of the troops were lost. However, the Japanese army was also killed and injured by the fierce firepower of the Type 02 submachine guns and Type 96 semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion.

However, they failed to capture the high ground on both sides of the river. In this way, Kang Fan occupied a quite favorable defensive terrain, but the Japanese army blocked all exits, making it almost impossible to rush out.

"It seems that we can only wait for help." Kang Fan said.

Everyone then split up and picked up the guns and ammunition discarded by the Japanese army for their own use. They built necessary fortifications on the highlands on both sides of the river, repaired damaged weapons, bandaged wounds, and took the time to rest, etc., so as to be fully prepared for the battle.

In order to buy as long as possible, wait for reinforcements.

Ten minutes later, several Japanese soldiers tried to reach out under the cover of the woods, but Kang Fan shot two of them down. The others retreated several hundred meters and guarded from a distance, no longer daring to act rashly. Kang Fan

The sophisticated weapons and superb shooting skills in their hands can cause unbearable casualties to these Japanese troops by relying on favorable terrain during the day with good visibility. If these Japanese troops continue such reckless and desperate attacks, I am afraid that people will not be able to grab the truck of supplies before they can

They will all die.

After waiting quietly for a while, Kang Fan saw that there was no movement from the Japanese army, so he walked over and sat next to He Shuixiu, watching her treat the wounds of the wounded.

After He Shuixiu finished his work, he was covered in blood, so he walked to the river to wash his hands. While washing, he suddenly blushed, turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother Kang, do you still remember when we swam in the Fen River?"

Kang Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "How could I forget such a wonderful thing!"

He Shuixiu's face turned even redder, "Then look at this place and see if it is very similar to the bend in Fenhe River?"

Kang Fan looked around carefully and said, "Well, except that they are much smaller, they are quite similar."

"I want to swim." As soon as He Shuixiu finished speaking, he plunged into the clear river water and started swimming happily.

Although Kang Fan was surprised, he did not stop him. It was noon, and the early autumn sun was still hot. It was a good idea to go for a swim, but it was just the wrong time. He did not dare to neglect at the moment and followed him with a gun.

guard.

After a while, He Shui came ashore dripping with water. He took out some toiletries from his luggage and put them back into the river. He hid them behind a clump of reeds, took off his clothes and washed them one by one. The river bank here was covered with

Covered by a dense forest and blocked by reeds, it is a good hiding place.

"I've been really dirty these days." He Shuixiu threw the washed clothes to Kang Fan through the reeds and started taking a bath again.

Kang Fan hung her clothes to dry on a tree branch. Looking at her looming figure, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: his appearance really made her forget all the dangers. In such a situation, she still had the heart to swim.

Take a shower and wash clothes! How much do girls love to be clean?

"Brother Kang, I want to die cleanly." When He Shuixiu said this, he could still squeeze out a smile on his face! Then he walked up from the river naked and stood in front of Kang Fan.

Kang Fan was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.

He Shuixiu said, "In the past three days, I have been thinking about how I will die. Because of fear, I thought about committing suicide several times, but in the end I convinced myself not to do that. Brother Kang, you know I will find it for myself

What’s the reason?”

Kang Fan shook his head numbly.

He Shuixiu smiled, "I said to myself: Brother Kang will definitely come to save you. You have to wait for him to come. If he can't see you, he will be very sad."

Kang Fan said nothing and stared at He Shuixiu's face, motionless.

"Brother Kang, we will definitely not be able to get out this time, and we will definitely die here, right?" He Shuixiu asked.

Kang Fan understood that the current situation was very dangerous: he could withstand it for a while during the day, but at night, even though he had night vision goggles, facing the rapidly changing battlefield situation in the dark night, he would definitely not be able to do it as calmly and with a numerical advantage as during the day.

The Japanese army will eventually win. However, our reinforcements do not know their exact location at all. The mountains are high and the forests are dense along the way. Coupled with the harassment of the Japanese army, if the reinforcements cannot arrive before dark, it will be more difficult to find this place at night.

. Therefore, life or death depends on tonight, but Kang Fan is not sure that he can survive tonight. He doesn't want to deceive He Shuixiu, and he doesn't know what to say, so he has to keep silent.

He Shuixiu suddenly laughed and said: "Then I will die with Brother Kang, and there will be no need to be afraid when we get there... Look at this body, so far she has only been touched by one man, and that is Kang

Brother, is Brother Kang willing to have her before I die? In that case, even if I really die, I won’t have any regrets."

After He Shuixiu finished speaking, he waited quietly. But Kang Fan still stood motionless, with a stern expression. As time went by, He Shuixiu's original eager eyes gradually dimmed, dimmed, until they turned into despair.

He Shuixiu cried, bursting into tears: "...Because I only have Brother Kang in my heart, so when I had to follow my parents' orders to get married, I made plans to fight with death to protect my innocence. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and it is just right for me.

I met a good-for-nothing man, so he never touched me, so I could keep my innocence for Brother Kang... If Brother Kang doesn't want me, I will be raped by those Japanese soldiers sooner or later! They are all beasts,

I won’t even let a dead woman go…”

"Shuixiu..." Kang Fan collapsed. He Shuixiu's desperate tears tore his heart mercilessly. Looking at this pure face and this beautiful body in front of him, even though he had a far stronger will than ordinary people,

But at this moment, even the steel will be melted, let alone his flesh and blood?

...After being confused and infatuated, there was an irresistible fierce sleepiness. He Shuixiu fell asleep in Kang Fan's arms again, with a satisfied smile on her pretty blushing face.

"Brother Kang, I finally gave it to you..." Kang Fan's ears echoed with the words He Shuixiu said, and he felt a burst of sadness in his heart: Shuixiu thought that there was no hope of survival this time, so she asked him so desperately.

Yes, this infatuated girl! So, am I really going to die here? In this era that does not belong to me? What will Mei Xiang do if I die? Is she really going to be stupid and go with me?
