This was the first time that Li Zhifeng was given such an important task alone, which made him a little nervous.
Tang Yufu's tragic death made him constantly remind himself that he was no longer a reckless man who only knew how to charge into battle.
He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
All the way he was thinking about what to do.
The location for the ambush has been set:
Aduo Village!
This is the location chosen by the chief himself.
His mission was to deliberately reveal his "tail" so that Shihogo would take the bait.
At the same time, Shihogomi must be angered!
There was no movement on Mei Miao's side.
Everything is operating according to the original normal channels.
Shihogomi will find out soon.
Tang Yufu's death had no impact on the Chinese people.
It seemed that Tang Yufu was just an insignificant person.
So, this is also a blow to Shihogomi.
He planned this game carefully, tortured Tang Yufu crazily, and deliberately left a humiliating note on Tang Yufu's body.
He has only one purpose:
Hit Meng Shaoyuan hard!
However, Meng Shaoyuan did not make any reaction.
As for Mai Mei, all the troops who came to collect food died tragically, which made them a little anxious.
What if the British are angered and come to take revenge?
When the second batch of troops led by Li Zhifeng arrived, the atmosphere in Maimei was tense for a time.
However, Mai Mei soon discovered that her worries were unnecessary.
The men didn't ask about the ambush in the woods at all.
Their mission is to ensure that the food collection proceeds smoothly.
This made Mai Mei feel relieved.
Some people also wonder why the two people who came to collect food were Chinese.
"Sino-British cooperation, we are allies." Li Zhifeng gave a good explanation: "The British army is defending the Japanese army. We cannot fight. We mainly have to rely on the British army, so we are responsible for the task of collecting food."
Shi Yongfu, who came with him, rolled his eyes.
Li Zhifeng made up this nonsense, one after another.
If you stay with your superior for a long time, will it become like this?
"Sir." A local man who could speak some Chinese gave Li Zhifeng a cigarette to please him: "I heard that the previous group of people were attacked and all died?"
"Ah, dead." Li Zhifeng took the cigarette.
The local people hurriedly took out a match and lit it for him: "Your commander must be very angry, right? We are also very angry. This will affect us. We are willing to help you."
"Assist us? What to do? Revenge?" Li Zhifeng said nonchalantly: "It was just a little second lieutenant who died. How could our commander be so upset over such a trivial matter? In a war, such low-level officers would die every time they were caught. A lot of it.”
He was acting so well that even he almost believed it.
"Hurry up." Li Zhifeng shouted: "We'll spend the night here tonight."
…
Another food collection army?
No, no.
The previous food collection force had just been wiped out, why was another one sent in such a short period of time?
There must be something wrong here.
Shihogomi was keenly aware of something amiss.
"Maungma is back."
"good."
The one who came back was the Burmese man who offered cigarettes to Li Zhifeng during the day and kept talking to him.
As soon as he saw Shihogo, Maoma immediately said: "A total of eight people came this time, equipped with submachine guns, pistols, and a machine gun. We will spend the night in Maimei now."
"Oh, is it so?"
Shihogo frowned.
Spending the night in the village openly?
"Sir." The one who spoke was the sharpshooter Awang: "There are only eight people. Let's just conduct another sneak attack and kill them all."
"No, we can't take risks. Their choice is very smart. If we still spend the night in the woods as before, it will be our chance. But spending the night in the stockade? Once discovered by them, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Shihogomi is still very sober.
Although the opponent only has eight people, they are all regular troops and have strong firepower.
With the rabble in his hands, a sneak attack would be impossible, and a forceful attack would have no chance of success.
Once the delay continues and reinforcements come from the other side, it will be troublesome.
"How did they react to Tang Yufu's death?" Shibogo asked casually.
"No reaction."
"What? No response?"
Shihogo looked in disbelief.
"Yeah, nothing happened."
Maung Ma told exactly what Li Zhifeng said during the day.
no response?
Shihogomi started to feel a little unhappy.
Did the other party really not care about Tang Yufu's death, or did he say that on purpose?
"The Chinese say that if a little second lieutenant dies, he will die."
Maoma's words made Shihogomi even more unhappy.
Meng Shaoyuan actually adopted this attitude after he had carefully designed the humiliation?
"If he doesn't care about the death of a second lieutenant, then let us look for opportunities to annihilate this eight-man team!"
Shihogomi sneered: "Continue to monitor and don't let them return to Meimiao alive."
"yes!"
…
Its daybreak.
The whole night was uneventful.
The attack never came.
The hidden sentry's machine guns were withdrawn.
Shi Yongfu, who was personally responsible for controlling the machine gun, was somewhat unwilling to do so.
"Captain Li, what should we do now?"
"It's all part of the commander's plan." Li Zhifeng was not worried at all: "Gather the team and set off."
The eight-man team was quickly assembled.
Li Zhifeng called the handsome "Wu Dulun" over and told him to hurry up and pay the food: "We have to go to Aduo. I hope you will be ready when we come back."
Du Lun is equivalent to the village chief with a big eyebrow. Generally, the honorific "Wu" is added before the name. He agreed repeatedly.
Last time, all the people from the grain collection team died in Maimei, and the Chinese didn't hold them accountable at all, which reassured him a lot.
"Let's go to Ado." Li Zhifeng shouted in a loud voice: "Damn, this road is not easy to walk, and I can't go back today."
…
"Hodor?"
Shihogo frowned: "Going to Ado? Ngawang, what's going on with Ado?"
"Sir, it's very poor there." Awang is very familiar with Meimiao: "Most of them don't have enough to eat."
"What are they doing there?" Shihogomi murmured: "They are so poor that they can't even afford food, and they still go to collect food? Is that a suitable place for an ambush?"
"There are several suitable ambush spots."
Awang quickly replied: "When we were fighting in Myanmar in the past, a Qing army entered Meimiao, and we staged an ambush in Addo, which caused heavy losses to the Qing army."
Shihogo nodded: "I understand, this eight-man team is here to lure us into taking the bait."
He suddenly became excited.
It's not that Meng Shaoyuan didn't care about Tang Yufu's death, on the contrary, he wanted to avenge his subordinates!
Therefore, this eight-man team was sent to seduce!
"Follow them." Shibogo saw a smile on his face: "This time I want to make Meng Shaoyuan steal the chicken but lose the rice. I want to make him lose miserably!"
