Chapter 1076 Encountering a Large Japanese Force
Aunt Lin was speechless after being confronted by so many people. She felt extremely frustrated and a nameless anger was rising within her.
She glared at those people fiercely, then turned her head and prepared to leave.
Just then, Xu Chuntang suddenly shouted, "Aunt Lin, what you're doing is truly disheartening! Aren't you afraid that no one will be willing to lend a helping hand to you in the future?"
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Aunt Lin's heart.
She couldn't help but tremble, and her hurried steps abruptly stopped.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, she seemed to have made up her mind, quickened her pace and ran forward, soon disappearing into the dark night.
Watching Aunt Lin's departing figure, Xu Chuntang couldn't help but recall those two familiar and warm smiles. Tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
She knew that if it weren't for these two kind-hearted people stepping forward and risking their lives to save her, everyone here would probably have met with misfortune today.
They gave their lives to give everyone a chance to survive.
They should never forget this great kindness.
So, suppressing her grief, she said to her younger brother beside her, "Xiao Chunsheng, we must try our best to live on and not let down our two benefactors' expectations of us. As long as we remember everything they did, their spirit will live on forever and never be forgotten."
"Don't worry, sister, I will never forget their kindness!" Xu Chunsheng nodded solemnly, his eyes shining with determination.
Xu Chunsheng looked around and said firmly, "One day in the future, I will definitely erect a monument for them and inscribe their names on it so that generations of people can remember this history and cherish the memory of these brave and fearless martyrs."
"Moreover, I already know that the uncle's surname is Jiang. I will try to let more people know about him and Jiang Xiaomei's deeds." After saying that, Xu Chunsheng wiped away his tears with his sleeve.
So much so that many years later, when the new China was founded, Xu Chunsheng had already grown up, but he never forgot the promise he made back then.
He bought a plot of land in the suburbs and began construction on a magnificent monument and memorial hall for the heroes.
Thanks to his efforts, the monument was successfully completed and has attracted countless people to come and pay their respects.
Standing before the towering monument, Xu Chunsheng was deeply moved and his emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
He carefully examined the densely packed names on the monument, the most prominent of which were the names of Uncle Jiang and Sister Jiang, which he had personally carved!
At that moment, he seemed to see the relieved smiles of his two benefactors...
Later, someone passing by saw it and told Jiang Jiyun, and that's how she learned that she had been sacrificed and become a martyr.
At this moment, the uncle and nephew, who were still unaware of what had happened and had been "sacrificed," were re-equipping themselves and preparing to go out and wreak havoc.
The two returned outside once again, but they found themselves in a large pit, surrounded by gruesome corpses and limbs.
After the two climbed out of the pit, a faint, painful groan reached their ears.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there were still many Japanese soldiers struggling to survive on the land in the distance.
The two men exchanged a glance, then stepped forward with their guns, cleanly and efficiently killing the remaining fugitives.
After clearing out all the surviving enemies, Jiang Wenming saw the marks on the ground.
He asked softly, "Xiaoyun, it seems the other Japanese soldiers have already retreated. Should we continue the pursuit?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun abruptly shouldered his spear, his eyes wide with fury, and roared, "Of course we have to go! We'll wipe out all those little devils to vent our anger. Anyway, we're all fighting to serve our country, so it doesn't matter where we do it!"
However, as soon as she said it, she deflated like a punctured balloon, muttering, "But the problem is... I don't know the way at all, and you're completely lost. Even if we manage to catch up with those bastards, will we be able to find our way back?"
"Uh... well... we'll just have to play it by ear then. At worst, it'll just take a little more effort. Things will work themselves out. Your brother and the others will definitely come looking for us!" Jiang Wenming said, glancing around nervously.
After some discussion, the two boarded the drone's support structure and sped off in the direction the enemy troops were fleeing.
Before long, many guerrillas arrived at the scene.
They had just finished clearing out the remaining Japanese soldiers in the city and rushed here.
These soldiers were filled with doubt. Why did the enemy suddenly launch an attack, and then choose to retreat without any warning?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the chaotic and devastated area in the north of the city.
Buildings near the explosion site have been reduced to ruins.
The scene before them made everyone wonder: had a large-scale explosion occurred here? Had their comrades perished together with the enemy?
With deep sorrow and reverence, the guerrillas silently removed their hats to pay their highest respects to their comrades who may have already sacrificed their lives.
Afterwards, they began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Yu Mosheng learned from the villagers who had managed to escape that a comrade surnamed Jiang had saved them at the cost of his life.
Upon hearing the news, Yu Mosheng was extremely anxious and led his team to the scene of the incident with all his might.
But when they arrived, all they saw was a heartbreaking scene of ruins and their comrades cleaning up the battlefield.
Jiang Jiyun held a telescope, his gaze sweeping across the distance, searching for the Japanese soldiers' location without missing a single detail.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a specific point on her right, and she quickly pointed in that direction.
Jiang Jiyun excitedly shouted: "Uncle, look over there! There are flashing lights over there, I think they are probably the truck lights! They are not far ahead!"
Upon hearing his niece's voice, Jiang Wenming manipulated the remote control in his hand, adjusted the drone's direction, and flew it straight towards the northeast.
In the blink of an eye, the drone flew above the enemy convoy, looking down at everything below.
When the camera zoomed in, the scene before Jiang Wenming was astonished: behind those military vehicles were dozens of huge and powerful tanks!
Not only were there tanks, but there were also vehicles towing various cannons along the main road.
“Xiaoyun, this scene doesn’t look like the panicked fleeing troops we imagined. Judging from their current speed and the neatness of their formation, it looks more like a well-trained and disciplined army marching at high speed.” Jiang Wenming stared intently at the scene on the screen, his brows furrowed, and analyzed the situation with a puzzled expression to his niece beside him.
