Chapter 1083 The Missing Jiang Jiyuan
Chapter 1083 The Missing Jiang Jiyuan
Unlike the others, Xia Tao and his group did not rush to the battlefield to fight the enemy. Instead, they chose to lead Uncle Lu and the others back into the city.
Wu Tao saw that the battle was almost won, but they still hadn't received any signal from Zhang Qiang and the others, so they decided to go back into the city to see if the spies had escaped.
Just as Jiang Jiyun was charging forward bravely, he glanced back and seemed to see Wu Tao and his men gradually disappearing into the distance.
She knew that Wu Tao was by no means a coward who feared death. Otherwise, why would he have risked his life to pursue the traitor, and even after recovering from serious injuries, would he still bring his men to join the battle without hesitation?
Their hasty departure at this moment must have a reason.
"Watch out!"
Just as Jiang Jiyun was deep in thought, a startled cry suddenly rang in his ears.
Xiao Dongbei reacted quickly, shooting dead a Japanese soldier who tried to ambush Jiang Jiyun from behind. He warned, "You better be on high alert. On the battlefield, a slight mistake can cost you your life. How dare you be distracted!"
"Thank you, Brother Northeast!" Jiang Jiyun, still shaken, thanked him profusely before throwing himself into the fierce battle.
She and Xiao Dongbei worked closely together with perfect understanding, entrusting each other with their safety and fighting side by side.
As time ticked by, the fierce and brutal battle was finally nearing its end.
When the Japanese soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered, a young Nationalist soldier suddenly lost control of his emotions. Tears streaming down his face, he cried, "Uncle Quan, we've finally won! We really won this battle! Can you see us from heaven? Waaah..."
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Dongbei were exhausted and overwhelmed. They leaned against each other, sat on the ground, and gasped for breath to calm their tense and excited emotions.
After resting for a while, Jiang Jiyun saw Xiao Dongbei hand him half a cucumber.
Hearing the clear, pleasant sound from the other side, it was clear that Xiao Dongbei was chewing his food with relish.
Jiang Jiyun took the cucumber and quickly took a bite, making a similarly pleasant and satisfying sound.
At the same time, she casually took out a big, bright red apple and handed it to Xiao Dongbei next to her.
Xiao Dongbei accepted it without hesitation, then picked up the machete that was still stained with the enemy's blood and wiped it on his clothes until the bloodstains disappeared.
He then deftly sliced the large apple in his hand into several thin slices, and then passed them one by one to his comrades around him to share.
To Jiang Jiyun's surprise, the people did not seem to mind; instead, they all showed bright and warm smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
Despite their faces being covered in dust and grime, it didn't stop them from fully enjoying this hard-won sweet taste.
Everyone happily savored the fruit in front of them, chewing and tasting it slowly, one small bite after another.
Jiang Jiyun simply handed his apple over to Xiao Dongbei to handle, then stood up and looked around to take in the overall scene of the battlefield.
This was the first time in her life that she had participated in a battle alone for such a long time. In the past, she was always accompanied by her brothers or uncles during battles, but this time she was all alone.
The fierce battle ended in victory, but why did she feel not joy, but rather a deep sense of loss in the face of such an outcome?
Jiang Jiyun said to Xiao Dongbei, who was still cutting an apple, "Brother Dongbei, I'm sorry! I won't be able to clean up the battlefield with you guys. I have to hurry and find my uncle."
After saying goodbye to Xiao Dongbei, Jiang Jiyun gripped her long spear tightly and strode toward the wounded soldiers' camp.
Along the way, the occasional, sporadic gunshots could be heard.
Those Japanese soldiers who tried to fake their deaths and escape in the chaos were being eliminated one by one.
Trying to use such petty tricks to deceive everyone is simply wishful thinking!
At this moment, Jiang Wenming was extremely anxious. Since the start of the war, he had been unable to successfully contact Jiang Jiyuan.
Not only that, but now even Xu Fan has disappeared without a trace.
Left with no other choice, he had to call Ma Chao and tell him the truth about Jiang Jiyuan and the others going missing.
After much searching and making inquiries, Jiang Jiyun finally managed to reach the vicinity of the wounded soldiers' camp.
After contacting her uncle and confirming that he was safe and sound, drowsiness instantly overwhelmed her and she could not resist it.
At this moment, her eyes seemed to weigh a ton, her legs were weak and unable to support her body, and she was swaying precariously, as if she would fall to the ground and fall asleep at any moment.
Jiang Wenming came over and reached out to support the person who was swaying back and forth, saying, "You haven't rested for two days. Why don't you go and get some sleep?"
Jiang Jiyun shook her head and looked at Jiang Wenming, saying, "No, I still can't get in touch with my brother and the others. They didn't leave any notes on their social media. Do you think something might have happened to them? Let's go back and check on them!"
Jiang Wenming hesitated, looked around, and said, "Are you sure we can still find that place? Don't let us run off to some unknown place again, and end up not only failing to help but also making them look for us."
Jiang Jiyun thought about it and realized that she really didn't remember the way back, and she couldn't count on her uncle.
So he said, "Let's go into the city and find a place to rest first, and wait for my brother and the others to come find us."
Jiang Wenming led Jiang Jiyun into the city, and the two struggled through ruins and broken bricks and tiles.
Looking around, the once bustling city has now become a desolate place, with buildings destroyed beyond recognition by bombs everywhere, leaving only some crumbling walls and broken pillars.
After searching for a while, they found a simple little shed that offered some shelter from the scorching sun.
So the two of them sat down next to each other, intending to take a nap there.
Many other survivors around them followed their example, seizing every precious second to conserve their energy so that they would have enough strength to face the crisis to come.
Just as the night was deep and quiet, a deafening roar suddenly ripped through the night sky.
"boom!"
The sudden explosion terrified everyone, and some people even instinctively got up and fled before they were fully awake.
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming did the same, leaping up from the ground in the blink of an eye, quickly loading ammunition into the guns they were holding, and then began to anxiously search for the exact location of the explosion.
"Look! There it is!" Jiang Wenming reacted quickly, grabbing Jiang Jiyun beside him and running wildly toward the place where the flames were shooting into the sky.
Along the way, people kept running towards them in panic, and cries for help could be heard everywhere.
