Beacon 1937

January [-], [-], night

On the No. 13 night of the third Changsha battle, Chen Yuchen was ordered to lead a company to the west of Changsha City to meet a platoon of US Marines.

Since the attack on Pearl Harbor in December last year led to the United States declaring war on Japan, my country also formally declared war on Japan, Germany, and Italy. The United States has become China's largest military and material support country.

The task this time is to meet a transport team of the US military.They must be ignorant, and secretly meet them and a group of armed forces before the Japanese army is aware of it.The reason why Chen Yuchen was sent there was naturally because he was the only officer who could speak English, and another reason was thanks to his background... Although this task is difficult and cannot be underestimated, avoiding the front line itself is the biggest challenge. safety conditions.

They hid under the bushes and watched the road ahead quietly, and the moonless night completely concealed their existence.

"Damn it, this finger is not flexible after being broken by the little devil." Qin Wu suddenly cursed in a low voice.

His ten fingers were broken during the torture, and Dr. Friedrich tried his best to treat and rehabilitate his hands. In the end, the little finger of his left hand and the ring finger of his right hand could hardly move, so Qin Wu felt extremely uncomfortable when holding the gun. uncoordinated.Now it's cold and cold, which makes his knuckles ache even more.

Chen Yuchen turned his head and stared at the sound, but the surroundings were pitch black, no one could see his expression at the moment, only the majestic aura around him immediately infected the entire company.

"Don't talk!" Zhao Han narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qin Wu beside him with a worried face, but now that the task was in hand, he still scolded him in a low voice.

It's January, and the soldiers lying motionless on the ground are really uncomfortable. They are all about to freeze into popsicles, but they have been well trained and remain motionless.

At this moment, Qin Wu suddenly put his ears on the ground to listen, and said after a while: "There is a convoy coming, the sound is definitely our convoy." He only heard the frequency of the engine vibration from the ground, It can determine the model of the vehicle in the distance.

"Get ready to respond, make sure you don't get discovered by the devils." Chen Yuchen immediately ordered in a low voice, and everyone stood ready.

Soon, they heard the sound of the truck's engine moving from far to near, and then saw the two headlights in front of the car shining brightly on the ground, moving quickly here, and finally stopped very accurately in the middle of the road in front of them.

Chen Yuchen and Zhao Han got up and walked forward vigilantly, while the rest of the people were still lying motionless on the spot.

Several Chinese soldiers and two Americans in American military uniforms jumped out of the truck.They could see each other clearly through the headlights.One of them took off his helmet, revealing a head of brown hair and a pair of dark gray eyes. He looked handsome but made people feel bohemian. This person was actually a bit taller than their captain.

"fsh." The brown-haired American soldier suddenly said.

"Thunder." Chen Yuchen immediately responded with a connection signal.

In the eyes of these Westerners, the Chinese and Japanese look similar, not to mention some Chinese who have rebelled, so out of caution, they must confirm the code mentioned in the telegram in advance.

"Great, it seems to be going well." The American suddenly said in substandard Chinese, but he seemed to speak very few words, so he used his mother tongue when introducing himself, "John Thurston, Second Lieutenant. (John Horston, [-]nd Lieutenant, Marine Corps.)"

Hearing this, Chen Yuchen's right hand that had just reached out to shake it was startled: "Excuseme...What's your name? (Sorry...what's your name?)"

"John Thurston, is there something wrong with my name?" Second Lieutenant Thurston said with mixed English and Chinese.

"No, no, of course not... My name is Chen Yuchen, the captain of the No.19 Division. I think we should set off as soon as possible." Because of the shock, Chen Yuchen forgot to speak English. Fortunately, the US second lieutenant could understand.

It's not an exaggeration for him to be surprised, because isn't this name exactly what Ivan asked him to investigate?Although the name of "John Halston" was indeed not on the death list announced at the time, how could it not be surprising that this person appeared here?

"Captain Chen, our mission has been completed." The platoon leader who first received the group of American soldiers walked up to Chen Yuchen and saluted.The handover task has been completed, and he must bring his team back to the original place.

"it is good……"

He just opened his mouth, and an accident happened... A grenade that had been pulled off the safety suddenly rolled over!

"Captain!" As an adjutant, Zhao Han immediately hugged Chen Yuchen and fell to the side.

Unexpectedly, the situation turned around, and before the grenade had time to explode beside them, it was kicked far away by Second Lieutenant Horston nimbly, and fell straight into the grass in the distance.

"Get down!"

"Get down!"

The two languages ​​roared in unison, and in an instant, all the soldiers surrounding the convoy fell to the ground.

There was a deafening sound and a miserable cry not far away at the same time.

"It's a devil!" Qin Wu roared and ran to Zhao Han's side, "Hey! Are you okay? How is the captain?"

Second Lieutenant Horston took the lead in ordering the attack, while Captain Chen's company, which was waiting for the order, still did not move.

Chen Yuchen got up quickly, crouched down and ran quickly to his team in the grass: "The devils only have about one company! They don't know that we sent another connection to respond to the Americans. Listen, everyone, go around with me to outflank them !"

The sounds of fighting around concealed their movements... When he contacted the US military telegram, he expected that the devils would intercept the telegram, so the telegram did not mention that a company would be sent to take over, and lied that there was only one platoon.The devils are confronting our army on the front line. When they learn about the content of the handover with the US military, they will definitely send the least manpower to encircle and suppress.

Sure enough, originally one platoon of Americans and two platoons of our army were no match for a company of devils, but their wishful thinking was too good.The reason why his company did not move at that time was because he planned to surprise him, but the impulsive Qin Wu almost ruined his plan.

Second Lieutenant Horston unexpectedly kicked the grenade back, causing the Japanese army to lose ground. At this time, Chen Yuchen's team unexpectedly appeared behind them and caught the devils by surprise. The victory and defeat had already been announced.However, neither they nor the Americans showed mercy to the Japanese soldiers and killed them all.

After a big battle, Chen Yuchen and Huston praised each other, got in the car and continued to the destination.

However, one wave after another, two figures with flashlights suddenly rushed to the middle of the road, forcibly stopped the convoy, and almost ran over them.

Horston got out of the car and raised his gun to shoot, but when he saw clearly that it was an oriental boy wearing a red cross armband and a medical soldier in a Chinese military uniform, he immediately put away his gun.

"Matsumoto?" Chen Yuchen jumped out of the car in shock.

"Captain! Captain!" As soon as Matsumoto Yukihiko saw Captain Chen, he rushed over and grabbed his sleeve, almost crying in anxiety.

Only then did Chen Yuchen see clearly that the young man and Li Ran were both unkempt and covered in mud: "What's wrong with you? Why did you come here?" For some reason, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.Maybe it's because Matsumoto has been sticking to Aiwen's side, but he can't see that person at this time.

"Ai Wen was taken away by the devil!" Li Ran said, supporting the sobbing little boy.

"What did you say?" Chen Yuchen trembled all over when he heard the words, feeling his heart was suddenly pinched tightly, and he couldn't bear the pain.

"It's not just the doctor, everyone in our class was captured by the devil, and only he and I escaped." Li Ran panted heavily, but remained calm.

"Who are you talking about?" At this moment, Second Lieutenant Horston asked in broken Chinese.

"...Aiwen Abel...your friend...Aiwen Abel was taken away by the Japanese army." Chen Yuchen felt that his heart had been taken away, and his mind went blank.

It is completely different now from the beginning of the war.Because the United States declared war on Japan and the Pacific War broke out, Ivan's "American" gold medal for avoiding death has long since disappeared, and the devils will treat him the same as them.

John Huston beside him was dumbfounded the moment he heard the name "Ewen Abel".
