Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 698 Ten Thousand People Umbrella

Okamura Neiji was so frustrated that he finally regarded Yuzhou as a soft persimmon. He mobilized two squadrons of Japanese devils and more than a thousand puppet troops, and marched towards Yuzhou in a mighty manner.

Just when Wan Danian was holding a celebratory banquet in the restaurant, the Japanese were only five miles away from Yuzhou County.

"Dear colleagues and celebrities, today I, Wan, have returned to Yuzhou and become the governor of Yuzhou. I feel a great sense of responsibility. I have prepared some wine today, and I would like to ask you to support me in the future! I'll drink first!"

After Wan Danian finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank a glass of white wine.

The rest of the government employees and so-called celebrities all raised their glasses to congratulate him.

"County Magistrate Wan, I definitely support you, but I'm worried that we can't defend Yuzhou City!"

"Oh, what are you talking about? The police station and the militia have been reassembled. If there is any movement, I will know immediately.

Moreover, I, Wan, have the confidence to defend Yuzhou County. In order to protect the people of Yuzhou, I am willing to die in battle!"

As soon as Wan Danian said this, there was thunderous applause, as if everyone was cheering for him.

"Everyone, let me tell you another thing. According to the intelligence I got from the First War Zone, the Japanese have already retreated to Zheng County. They can't even protect themselves, so they won't care about Yuzhou at all!"

If what Wan Danian said before was just bragging, then the information he is talking about now is real good news.

The depressing atmosphere at the scene was swept away and the guests raised their glasses to celebrate.

At this moment, a policeman in black uniform ran in in a panic.

"County magistrate, this is bad!"

Wan Danian looked displeased. After all, tonight was a good day for him to be officially announced as the county magistrate. Why was it so bad?

"You are calm even when the sky is falling. Why are you so flustered? Speak slowly!"

The young policeman looked at the hundreds of guests and felt that it might be inappropriate to speak loudly, so he moved closer and prepared to whisper.

But Wan Danian pushed him away heroically.

"Everyone here is Wan's friend, the backbone of Yuzhou. If you have anything to say, just speak up!"

The young policeman looked at the expectant eyes of the people around him, so he plucked up his courage and shouted at the top of his voice:

"The Japanese are outside the city. There are about a thousand of them. They are expected to be under the city wall in half an hour!"

When Wan Danian heard this, he subconsciously crawled under the table. Fortunately, he was pulled under by his staff and recovered his composure.

"What did you say? The Japanese are coming again? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Haven't they been driven away by the independent column?"

"County Magistrate Wan, I guess the Japanese heard that the independent column had retreated, so they came back again?"

"What? How did they know that the independent column retreated?"

"The Independent Column broadcast this afternoon. I guess everyone in China knows about it!"

Wan Danian really wanted to slap himself, but when he raised his hand, he slapped his aide instead.

"Asshole, why didn't you tell me such important news?"

The aide covered his face innocently and said painfully:

"County Governor, I'm here to play mahjong with you this afternoon, so how can I have time to listen to the radio?"

Wan Danian thought about it and agreed, so he didn't pursue the matter any further.

Now his wish to use the independent column to bully others has been dashed. What should he do now?

"County Magistrate Wan, didn't you just say that you would live and die with Yuzhou City? How do you plan to defend Yuzhou County next?"

This question stumped Wan Danian. He never expected that the Japanese would come so soon. How could he lead troops in battle?

Now he has only one way out, and that is to run!

"Everyone, you are all the elites of Yuzhou City. I now declare that the head of the militia and the chief of the police department will be responsible for the defense of Yuzhou City. I will go to the first war zone to get reinforcements! We will act separately!"

After Wan Danian finished speaking, he walked away without paying attention to the surprised looks from everyone present.

Of all things, staying alive is the most important!

If he died in Yuzhou, who would spend his millions of dollars? Who would take care of his four concubines? Who would pity the women in the brothel?

Wan Danian got on the jeep given by Jiang Dingwen and fled through the west gate of Yuzhou City.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at the police chief for help. He was the only backbone now.

"What should we do now? My whole family just fled back from the countryside. We haven't even been here for two days. Are we going to run away again?"

"Yeah, give me a definite answer. If it doesn't work, I'll run away as soon as possible, otherwise I'll be caught by the Japanese. I'll be skinned alive if I don't die!"

The police chief now understood what evil people's hearts were. It was because he, Wan Danian, insisted on becoming the county magistrate that he drove away the independent column. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?

Even if the independent column had only one platoon of soldiers standing at the four city gates as door gods, the Japanese would not dare to act recklessly even if they were daring enough!

Damn Wan Da Nian!

Now we can't let his hundred or so policemen, plus more than two hundred militiamen, go to war with more than a thousand Japanese devils and puppet troops, right?

Although those Japanese devils and puppet troops were far inferior to the independent column, it was still effortless for them to defeat the police and militia.

“How about this, I will send someone to find the people from the independent column. If you are willing, write me a letter about the umbrella of the people, and I will go and talk to you.

We drove them out after crossing the river, and now we are in trouble and want to invite them back, so we should at least give them an explanation, right? "

"Okay, let alone making an umbrella for all the people, even if I just give my concubine to them, it's fine, hurry up!"

The desire to survive always inspires people's potential, and an umbrella for all was completed in less than ten minutes.

The young policeman took the Wanmin umbrella and ran towards the west gate of Yuzhou City. As luck would have it, he saw soldiers from the mobile battalion in camouflage uniforms standing guard on the roadside after he had gone less than two miles away.

"Who is it! Put your hands up!"

The young policeman immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly.

"Sir, don't shoot. I'm a police officer from the Yuzhou County Police Department. The chief asked me to bring something to your commander!"

The young policeman slowly took off the umbrella on his back, put it on the ground, and then stepped back ten meters.

"what is this?"

"Military officer, this is the umbrella written by the people of Yuzhou City. Please enter the city to protect the people. The Japanese army of more than a thousand will be here soon!"

"Okay, I'll report right away!"

It's called a report, but in fact it's just shouting.

The situation in Yuzhou City was under the control of their mobile battalion and work team, and they had been waiting to enter the city.

In less than a minute, the neatly-lined mobile battalion, armed with guns and cannons, marched rapidly towards Yuzhou City.

"Comrades, we must set up defenses before the Japanese arrive in Yuzhou City. We cannot let the people of Yuzhou City suffer any harm!"

"Yes!"
