This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

Chapter 503 Bai Luo's Exchange Conditions

12:45pm.

Wei Huang had just arrived at the front-line command post of the 71st Army when he encountered Zhang Yunhai and others who had been waiting for him.

Wei Huang quickly walked up to Zhang Yunhai and the others as soon as he saw them.

"open.."

The moment Wei Huang opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't seem to know the other person's name, and he glanced awkwardly at his confidant behind him.

"General Wei, just call me Zhang Yunhai."

Seemingly noticing Wei Huang's embarrassment, Zhang Yunhai immediately stepped in to help him out.

"I'll call you Brother Yunhai then. Brother Yunhai, are you sure you want those child soldiers and students?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhai nodded affirmatively.

After Zhang Yunhai confirmed, Wei Huang pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Could you please tell me what we plan to do with these children?"

Wei Huang paused involuntarily as he spoke.

But fearing that Zhang Yunhai might misunderstand, he quickly added something else.

"Brother Yunhai, we're all soldiers, so I won't beat around the bush."

Most of these children are orphans, and the vast majority of them are the orphans of soldiers who fought against Japan under my Blue Party. The reason I asked them these questions was to give their deceased parents some closure.

After hearing Wei Huang's explanation, Zhang Yunhai's expression did not change; he remained as amiable as before.

Wei Huang had asked Bai Luo the same question a few hours earlier.

Bai Luo didn't hide anything and directly told Zhang Yunhai his purpose in wanting these children.

Now, Zhang Yunhai relayed Bai Luo's words to Wei Huang in front of him.

"General Wei, please rest assured, our purpose in taking these children is to get them back to school. At least they will not be sent to the battlefield before they reach adulthood."

Upon hearing this, Wei Huang's expression turned somewhat awkward, and he turned to glare at Zhong Ling, who had just rushed over.

Upon hearing Zhang Yunhai's words, Zhong Ling couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

But Wei Huang was a general after all, and the embarrassment on his face vanished in an instant. He completely ignored Zhang Yunhai's next words and spoke.

"go to school?"

"Yes, I went to school, but it was a military academy."

Upon hearing this, Wei Huang began to understand the other party's intention in wanting the dolls and student soldiers.

You should know that these children were on the battlefield and fought the Japanese soldiers with real swords and guns.

If we allow them to study and train in peace until adulthood.

That was definitely an elite force.

Thinking about this, Wei Huang couldn't help but admire the vision of the city's leaders.

However, it will still take time.

If he were to do this, he probably wouldn't have the time or energy to raise so many children.

Thinking of this, Wei Huang looked up at Zhang Yunhai, who was waiting for his reply.

“I agree. Not only these child soldiers, but if you wish, you can take all the students in Yunnan Province with you.”

This way they can have a relatively safe learning environment, and by the time they finish their studies, the war will probably be almost over.

"Then they will be needed to rebuild the Dragon Kingdom."

Zhang Yunhai and the others opposite Wei Huang were also surprised by Wei Huang's words.

Zhang Yunhai, who was standing at the very front of the first squad, was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his senses.

After thinking through Wei Huang's words, Zhang Yunhai's expression became serious.

"General Wei, our city is heavily surrounded by the Japanese. You have so much confidence in us, do you think the Japanese won't break through the city?"

"You know, there's a Japanese Northern Expeditionary Army fortress less than 200 kilometers away from us, with hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers stationed there. Aren't you afraid..."

Before Zhang Yunhai could finish speaking, Wei Huang waved his hand to interrupt him.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to Songshan on the other side of the river.

"That mountain was much shorter than I remembered. If you, with such terrifying weapons, couldn't protect these children, then..."

Then this Dragon Kingdom is truly beyond saving.

When Wei Huang said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yunhai in front of him.

His eyes were full of sincerity and trust.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunhai said no more.

He solemnly saluted Wei Huang in front of him.

"Please rest assured, General!"

"Hahaha!!! I'm definitely not worried."

With Wei Huang's loud laughter, the tense atmosphere that had gradually become clear was swept away.

Afterwards, Zhang Yunhai inquired about Wei Huang and his team's battle plan.

Which city they need to bombard first.

After some discussion, Wei Huang decided to attack Ling County behind Songshan first.

There were probably more than 6000 Japanese soldiers there.

They were the reserve force of Songshan Fortress, but they are no longer needed.

The shelling was scheduled for around 7 p.m.

After all, Wei Huang and his fellow Blue Party officers hadn't expected that the Japanese Songshan Fortress would fall so quickly.

The mountaintop sank more than 100 meters.

This caught them somewhat off guard.

Therefore, some time is needed for preparation.

After everything was settled, Zhang Yunhai sent Sun Jiahao with half of the New Ninth Army's First Platoon to recruit child soldiers and student soldiers.

However, Sun Jiahao's recruitment efforts encountered some minor problems.

When these child soldiers heard from Sun Jiahao that they wouldn't have to go to the battlefield, they didn't feel the excitement and relief they had expected.

Instead, they felt somewhat lost and confused.

They had all come prepared to die, but the person standing before them was telling them to return to Kunming.

Although they didn't understand what was happening, they were all relatively obedient.

The student soldiers on the side were not so easy to deal with.

Upon hearing Sun Jiahao's words, he was immediately bombarded with questions and didn't know who to answer first.

Enraged, Sun Jiahao drew his pistol from his waist and fired a shot into the air.

"puff."

A barely perceptible gunshot rang out.

Sun Jiahao's initially annoyed expression instantly turned into one of embarrassment.

He forgot to remove the silencer from the pistol.

However, his action still startled the student soldiers who were surrounding him and asking him questions.

Especially the student soldiers surrounding him.

They definitely saw Sun Jiahao fire the gun, though they didn't understand why the gunshot wasn't as loud as a fart. The spent cartridge case on the ground was still warm.

So everyone shut their mouths and subconsciously took a step back.

As the student soldiers surrounding Sun Jiahao fell silent, the once noisy square gradually returned to quiet.

Sun Jiahao was finally freed and quickly went to a microphone on the stage and shouted loudly.

"I know you have many questions, but I can't answer them all right now."

All I can tell you now is that you are no longer needed here. You will be taken to a battlefield that suits you, where you can truly shine.

Now is not the time for you to ask questions. Everyone, listen to my command and run towards Kunming.

With Sun Jiahao's order issued.

The members of the first squad did not give the child soldiers and student soldiers a chance to react.

One man led two columns of child soldiers and ran towards Kunming.

At that moment, Bai Luo also received a message from Zhang Yunhai.

He's so happy his mouth is practically crooked.
