Chapter 252 Katherine Campbell
"Hello, Major. My name is Catherine. Can you tell me your name?"
"Lu Cheng."
"Hello, Major Lu Cheng. According to your Chinese customs, is your last name Lu? Can you tell me the meaning of your name?"
"Of course, Lu is my last name. In the Chinese language, it means the earth. The earth is vast and nurtures all things. Honesty means integrity. China respects integrity and treats people with sincerity."
"It's a great-sounding name."
Seeing his battalion commander chatting passionately with the blonde foreign girl, Bu La approached Meng Fanle and asked in a low voice, "Fanle, does that foreign girl like our battalion commander?"
"Who knows? This is a hero saving a beautiful girl. The battalion commander has the potential to be a gigolo, so it's normal for him to be favored."
"Hey, hey, are you jealous?"
"Why am I jealous? I'm not jealous, young master."
"By the way, doesn't the battalion commander already have a wife?"
"Then you can't have a lover?"
"Letting a foreign girl be your concubine? That sounds really exciting. Does this count as bringing glory to the country?"
"What are you talking about, you idiot?"
Lu Cheng turned around and glared at them: "What are you talking about? Why don't you clean up the battlefield quickly? Put away all the guns and ammunition that can be used. You are really a bunch of prodigals. You have only had a few days of good life and you have already forgotten your roots."
"Okay, let's go clean up the battlefield now and stop getting in your way."
After a few soldiers went to clean up, Catherine looked around again: "Lu, where are your soldiers?"
"Just those few."
"You just brought a few people and wiped out those damned Japanese people?"
"There are only more than twenty people in total."
"Lu, you are really amazing, just like the legendary Robin Hood."
As they were talking, three jeeps had arrived nearby, followed by three trucks.
After the cars stopped, Colonel William, who was in his fifties, jumped out of the passenger seat of one of the trucks, walked up to Catherine, who had big wavy blond hair, and saluted like a gentleman: "Hello, Miss Catherine from the Campbell family. I'm so glad that you're safe."
Catherine, who was a passionate girl in front of Lu Cheng just now, now showed the etiquette and distance that aristocrats should have when facing Colonel William who was in his fifties: "Colonel William, thank you for sending a hero like Major Lu Cheng to rescue us. I will call my father later and ask him to express his gratitude to the Army Headquarters."
Colonel William was delighted when he heard this: "It is my honor to serve Miss Catherine."
Colonel William is already over 50 years old this year, but he is still only a colonel. If nothing unexpected happens, he will only be able to remain as a colonel in his life and it will be difficult for him to make any further progress.
But if the Campbell family is willing to speak up for him, Colonel William might be able to become Brigadier General William.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not safe here yet. Please follow me back to the airport. There are steaks, whiskey, and our brave British warriors to protect your safety."
Taking advantage of this time, several soldiers under Lu Cheng and two American pilots had collected all the usable items from the Japanese and loaded them onto one of the trucks.
Miss Catherine glanced at the truck in the distance, then walked to Lu Cheng with a smile: "Major Lu, can I ride in the same car with you?"
"Of course. However, my car will be in the front and may be in danger at any time."
"Lu, do you think I would be a war correspondent if I was afraid of danger?"
"Miss Catherine, you are the bravest European and American lady I have ever met, just like our Chinese heroine, Hua Mulan."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment. However, I haven't heard of the story of Hua Mulan. Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course, what I'm best at is telling stories..."
Afterwards, Lu Cheng got into one of the jeeps and sat in the driver's seat.
When they came, it was Lu Cheng who drove with Abao, Bu La and Meng Fanle. Another British driver brought Milong and the other two.
The British jeep was a bit crowded for five people.
As for the two American pilots, they drove over to watch the battle. Unfortunately, there were too few Japanese soldiers, so Lu Cheng had no chance to show his abilities, which disappointed the two American fans.
For safety reasons, Lu Cheng drove the jeep in the front. Catherine strongly requested to sit in the passenger seat. A Bao and Bula sat in the back seat, staring blankly at their battalion commander who was driving and chatting enthusiastically with a foreign girl in English.
The two of them didn't understand anything and could only pretend that they didn't see anything. They didn't know where to look.
More than ten miles away from the church, the car was driving back when a group of suspicious targets suddenly appeared on the thermal sensing radar. Just a thousand meters ahead, there were forty or fifty people lying in ambush on both sides of the road, apparently preparing to ambush their cars.
Lu Cheng immediately slowed down the car, stopped it quickly, and turned off the lights: "Ms. Catherine, there may be danger ahead, please wait here."
"Lu, are there enemies ambushing ahead? Should we go around them?"
"No need to take a detour. I'll go scout first. If there aren't many enemies, I might be able to handle them myself. Besides, this is the only way back to the airport."
Seeing Lu Cheng stop the car, the car behind also stopped quickly. Colonel William also quickly rushed over from behind. Lu Cheng's six soldiers and two pilots also quickly came to Lu Cheng's side.
"Lu, why did you stop suddenly?"
"There may be Japanese soldiers ambushing us ahead."
"Impossible, we just passed through there, everything was fine."
"Colonel William, don't be nervous. These may be a small group of Japanese soldiers attracted by the sound of the truck."
"So what should we do? I only have twenty soldiers with me."
Colonel William hurriedly came to pick you up in a truck in order to show off in front of the eldest daughter of the Campbell family. There were only three jeeps and three trucks left at the airport, and they had to leave space for those allied friends, so they only brought twenty soldiers.
"Colonel William, don't be nervous. This is just my hunch. Even if there are real enemies, there shouldn't be too many. I can handle them myself. You just stay here and protect everyone."
When they heard that Lu Cheng was going to investigate personally, everyone was a little worried. Only the soldiers under Lu Cheng and the two American pilots had full confidence in Lu Cheng.
A Bao stood up and said, "Captain, I will carry your gun for you."
"No need. You guys, protect Miss Catherine. I'll be back soon."
Seeing Lu Cheng picking up a Thompson, loading it with several magazines and drums, and about to rush out, Catherine called out, "Lu, be careful."
Lu Cheng turned around and smiled, then turned around like a cheetah and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Lieutenant Mike, an American pilot, shook his head: "What a pity."
Hearing this, Catherine thought he was worried about Lu Cheng: "Mr. Lieutenant, what are you talking about?"
"It's a pity that it's not daytime now, so I can't see Superman's battle scene. Otherwise, I would definitely watch the whole thing with a telescope."
"No, we should grab our guns and fight with the heroes."
"How long do you think it will take Mr. Superman to finish the fight?"
"I'd guess it wouldn't be more than five minutes."
"Two minutes at most, I bet."
Listening to the two pilots' discussion, Catherine suddenly became interested: "Hello, gentlemen, can you tell me the story about Lu?"
"Of course, we are happy to share with others. Speaking of which, it was two days ago when we were flying a plane to transport Lu and his soldiers. The superiors did not send us any escort fighters. Damn it, those irresponsible guys should go to see God, no, they should go to hell.
Oh, sorry, I got off topic. We were flying in the sky and we encountered the Japanese fighter planes. The situation was very dangerous. If Lu hadn't pulled me, I might have gone to see God..."
Lieutenant Price was a chatterbox and always added some personal complaints when he told stories, but Catherine still listened very carefully, as if she was listening to a legendary tale.
Of course, while listening to the story, Miss Catherine also kept looking into the darkness in the distance, trying to see the protagonist of the legendary story through the darkness...
