Chapter 1072 The Japs are coming
After being interrupted by Da Bai, Jiang Jiyun didn't have time to think about home anymore. She began to direct Xiao Hei and the other animals in combat training.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wenming carefully sorted out the various herbs he had picked and then went to the fields to continue working.
He skillfully picked tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, and winter melons one by one.
Time slipped by quietly, and night fell.
When the innkeeper gently knocked on the door and called the two downstairs for dinner, they finally snapped out of their daze and realized they had been busy for quite some time.
So, Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyun went out of the space together to have dinner.
After they went outside, they saw Xu Fan carefully carrying a steaming bowl of pig's trotter soup into the room. He even greeted them as he passed by.
Jiang Jiyun stared quietly at his missing limb, thinking of the best way to help him walk normally again.
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Jiang Wenming asked in a low voice with concern, "Do you still hope to have his broken leg reattached?"
Jiang Jiyun nodded silently, but then sighed helplessly, "Although I have this idea in my mind, it's not that easy! Do you expect me to just find someone on the street, take off their leg, and use it to perform surgery on Brother Xu Fan?"
After speaking, she walked to the table and sat down, her gaze sweeping over the dishes laid out on the table.
A plate of crispy peanuts, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and a large bowl of fluffy black steamed buns.
Jiang Wenming thought to himself that his little niece needed to be properly cared for.
So he turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, is your shop out of meat today? I'd like to give my niece some extra nutrition."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper sighed heavily and replied with a worried expression, "Alas... in this world, prices are skyrocketing, especially meat, which is ridiculously expensive. Ordinary people can barely afford to eat! Where would they find the money to buy meat!"
The Japanese soldiers were on the run for several months, and prices rose extremely fast, leaving them with no way to cope.
"Buzzing..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Before they had finished their meal, a faint and indistinct buzzing sound suddenly rang out, followed by a series of deafening explosions.
Jiang Jiyun quickly dropped her chopsticks and ran out. Jiang Wenming didn't delay either, and followed closely behind her, rushing out of the house.
The two looked up and saw streaks of crimson streaks across the pitch-black night sky, like shooting stars.
The city was filled with deafening roars, a sight that transported them back to the war-torn era. The two men, who hadn't participated in a large-scale battle in a long time, were filled with excitement.
"Oh no! The Japanese are attacking!" someone shouted in terror.
"Run! Everyone! It'll be too late if you don't escape now!" another person screamed in anguish.
Faced with such a grim situation, Jiang Jiyun looked solemnly at Jiang Wenming beside him with a firm gaze and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, the situation is critical right now. We have no way of knowing which direction the enemy's main force will launch its attack from."
"You need to find a way to contact my brother right away and tell them everything that happened here. I need to go in first and go back to Brother Xu's room to make sure his family is safe."
Jiang Wenming nodded and took out his phone to contact Jiang Jiyuan and the others, but he couldn't get through to any of them after several attempts.
When Jiang Jiyun arrived at Xu Fan's room in the backyard, Xu Fan was holding a gun. Upon seeing Jiang Jiyun, he said, "Xiaoyun, is it the main force of the Japanese army coming?"
Jiang Jiyun looked at him and said, "Okay! I'll take you inside."
Xu Fan looked at her seriously and said, "No need. I'm entrusting Duoyu and my daughter to you. I'm a soldier, and I will never back down!"
Dong Duoyu took out all the things he had bought for the child today and handed them to Jiang Jiyun. "Xiaoyun, if your brother Xu Fan and I die on the battlefield, Qingqing will be in your care."
Jiang Jiyun looked at the child in her arms and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. We've charged out and won so many times, we won't fail this time either!"
After she finished speaking, she took the child and ran out. After putting the child into the space for placement, when she came out, she met the couple who were already equipped.
Dong Duoyu wasn't curious about her at all. She smiled and said, "When we were traveling together, I knew you had special identities. But my mother always said that if someone doesn't want you to know something, you should pretend you don't know. That's how friendships last."
Jiang Jiyun pursed her lips. This was something others discovered on their own, not something she deliberately leaked, so the higher-ups couldn't find fault with her.
"They're attacking the north of the city!" Jiang Wenming shouted as he ran in.
They are now located in the south of the city, and the Japanese planes are bombing their north side.
The group quickly headed north of the city. Jiang Jiyun quickly wrote a note in the car for Ma Chao, so that he could quickly contact nearby troops for support.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Explosions echoed throughout the city, and those who couldn't escape were engulfed by the artillery fire.
"The car can't go any further!" Jiang Wenming stared solemnly ahead, the road completely blocked. He turned to the people in the car and shouted.
Sitting in the back seat, Xu Fan looked in the direction Jiang Wenming was pointing and saw groups of panicked people desperately fleeing south.
He opened the car door, put his feet on the ground, patted his prosthetic leg, and said confidently, "Don't be afraid, my prosthetic leg is very sturdy. We can run over there."
Jiang Jiyun also got out of the car, but she did not rush forward with Xu Fan and the others.
Her gaze was fixed on the enemy planes whizzing across the sky, her eyes revealing a hint of determination and courage.
While everyone was distracted, Jiang Jiyun quickly climbed onto the drone and started it up.
When Jiang Wenming turned around to look for Jiang Jiyun, he found that she had already disappeared.
Just as he was searching for Jiang Jiyun, an explosion suddenly came from above them!
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun was lying quietly on the grass in the space. She saw with her own eyes the drone rushing towards the enemy's fighter jet. The large amount of explosives carried on its fuselage detonated instantly, turning into countless fragments scattered all over the ground along with the enemy aircraft.
Jiang Wenming said, his face flushed, "Jiang Jiyun, you better be lucky enough to survive!"
After he finished speaking, he shouldered his gun and ran north.
When they arrived at the north of the city, the city gate had already been breached. Two of the three men were using heavy machine guns, and the other was using a mortar to bombard the city gate.
But the Japanese tanks still managed to break into the city despite their attempts to intercept them.
The Japanese soldiers, using the cover of tanks, rushed into the city, and Jiang Wenming and his men were unable to stop them.
Many young people in the city also joined the battle, wanting to defend their homes and protect their loved ones as they evacuated.
