my bright sword career

Chapter 388
"My goodness!"

Looking at those people who were desperately running towards their position, all of them were wearing military uniforms... no... one of them was wearing a suit, and the soldiers were rushing towards them in the middle of him, it seemed that that guy Should be a big shot.

Recalling the order from his group boss on the phone just now, Lei Xiangdong also became anxious. He picked up an MP40 submachine gun and shouted: "Everyone's maximum firepower output, suppress the devils, and the mortars continue to fire smoke bombs!"

After cursing, Lei Xiangdong continued to yell at the people in front: "Come here quickly...we will cover you with all our strength!" After speaking, he also took up the Schmeisser submachine gun and fired violently at the Japanese army's position!
Harry and Goth picked up the injured driver and ran forward desperately, while McLaren ran behind with a briefcase in one hand and a suitcase in the other, and the lieutenant named Tom was holding a Thomson The submachine guns fired at the back while running, and behind them were two orderlies carrying huge backpacks, a major's staff officer carrying a wooden box, and five or six entourages.

As a pampered professor, Harry swore that his cup had never been run on such a difficult road before. The bumps along the way and the disastrous landing made him exhausted, and now he had to run on the potholed battlefield.

He only felt that he was about to exert all his strength to feed, his lungs were burning like he had eaten several burritos with too much chili, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Just when he was out of breath, an officer appeared from the trench ahead, shouting desperately at him.

"Hurry up... we'll be there in less than 100 meters!"

The other soldiers in the trench also stopped shooting on the second floor, and people kept poking their heads out and waving at them, cheering them on.

When Harry and the others were less than 20 meters away from the trench, the smoke bombs covering them had gradually dissipated, and it was obviously too late to fire the smoke bombs again at this time.

The bullets of the Japanese army kept whizzing past them, hitting the position and raising clouds of dust and smoke.

There were even a few grenade bombs exploding around and making loud noises, and the shock wave knocked these people back and forth.

Lei Xiangdong became anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly said to the surrounding soldiers: "Follow me and bring these people over! And don't stop, keep shooting!"

After finishing speaking, he jumped out of the trench and rushed towards Harry and his party. With the help of Lei Xiangdong and several soldiers, Harry and his party managed to run for the last ten meters or so. When Harry plunged into the While in the trenches, there was a burst of cheers and laughter in the trenches.

The Japanese positions at the rear stopped shooting when they saw Harry and others entered the position, and the gunfire gradually stopped.

Harry leaned against the trench and sat down on the ground, and the aftereffects of strenuous exercise also appeared. At this time, he felt like a dog sticking out its tongue in the hot sun.

Just when he felt that his whole body was failing, a water bottle was lowered in front of him, "Drink some water, you will feel better."

"Thank you!"

Harry took the kettle and drank it in big gulps, and didn't stop until he drank all the water in the kettle in one go.

He didn't feel better until the pot of water was finished.

The people who entered the trenches with Harry were similar to him. Gao Si, the US ambassador to China, was worse than Harry. Handed over the water bottle, these guys took the water bottle and all started filling it with all their might.

"Thank you so much." Harry returned the empty kettle to the other party and thanked him.

"You're welcome, I was also ordered to take care of you." Lei Xiangdong took the water bottle and hung it on his waist with a grin.

Only then did Harry have the time to look around, but he was not only taken aback by this look, he couldn't help blurting out: "My God, did we crash-land into the German Empire's military camp?"

The officer in front of him was wearing a standard gray-green German Army Type 36 military uniform, limestone trousers, a German Type 35 steel helmet on his head, and a base plate composed of four silver twisted wires on the armband on his shoulder. With a golden four-pointed star, anyone who is a little familiar with the German army can tell at a glance that this is a standard army captain.

Looking at the soldiers around, they are all wearing standard German Wehrmacht field uniforms, Army field leather boots on their feet, and all holding German standard 98K rifles and MP38 (actually MP40) submachine guns. Harry even I also saw a machine gun bunker less than five meters away, and a machine gun that looked like an MG34 was placed inside.

If it weren't for the yellow skin and black hair of the officer and the surrounding soldiers, as well as the blue sky and white sun badge on the helmet representing the Chinese army, he must have thought he had broken into the German army's position.

McLaren and others have also seen this situation, but they didn't ask too much. Everyone knows that China and Germany have a very close relationship as early as the 30s. They imported a lot of German equipment from Germany. Now they see the Germans here. There's nothing surprising about that.

After drinking water and resting for more than ten minutes, everyone finally recovered some strength. Harry turned his head and asked, "Is everyone okay, no one was shot?"

"Professor Harry, we are all fine, but we couldn't bring George and Johnson out." The driver said a little depressed.

"It's okay, after we see General Gao, ask him to find a way to get the bodies of the two of them out." Harry patted McLaren on the shoulder.

After finishing speaking, Harry said to Lei Xiangdong in front of him: "Mr. Captain, I am Harry Hopkins, the commissioner sent by the US government to China, and this is the US ambassador to China, Clarence Edward Gorth. President Roosevelt ordered to come to the Liantai militia to discuss some matters, could you please take us to the headquarters where General Gao Hongming is?"

Lei Xiangdong looked a little strange, "Hello Commissioner Harry, we are indeed the Liantai militia, but our officer Gao Hongming is just the head of a militia, not a general, are you mistaken?"

"No...it's not a mistake." Harry said solemnly, "Facts have proved that the Liantai militia is top-notch in China in terms of scale and combat effectiveness, so there is no problem in calling him a general."

"Okay!" Lei Xiangdong didn't want to argue with him about these things, "Commissioner Harry, I have just received an order from Chief Gao to escort you to the headquarters safely, now please pack your things and join us Go to the command post in the rear."

"No problem at all."

Harry obviously didn't want to stay in such a dangerous place. It was less than 500 meters away from the Japanese position. A single shell could kill them, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Soon, they arrived in Yangping Town in three Willys jeeps and two trucks, escorted by a squad of soldiers...
