Platoon leader Wang Liujin, wearing a security regiment uniform, successfully passed the suspension bridge and sneaked into the county town.
The security forces guarding the city couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when they looked at this neatly dressed soldier.
With a clean and upright figure, cloth shoes and leggings stained with dust, an armed belt, and a seven-nine rifle strap held with one hand, he looked like a battle-hardened soldier.
The afternoon sun was fierce, and Platoon Commander Wang's back was completely soaked. He took a closer look at the moat. It was three to four meters wide. The gray city walls were all made of gray bricks. He was determined not to be able to climb up by himself.
Following the people driving the grain truck in front of him, he was now a member of the security regiment protecting the food delivery, and followed this group of people towards the county town.
There was almost no one on the street, and a few signboards hung listlessly in front of the shops.
There were soldiers from the special agent platoon in the food delivery team. Thinking back carefully, they had not visited the county town in almost three or four years, and the soldiers were a little excited.
The platoon leader of the security army who led the team was one of his own, and Lao Zhou and the others did a good job. They successfully obtained the escort mission from the company commander of the security regiment.
Of course, it also cost Luo Fugui a fortune.
After part of the city's intelligence system was destroyed by the Japanese, it was quickly reorganized.
In addition to the rebellion of the traffic officer, after being arrested, the person in charge of the Southern District actually bit his tongue and committed suicide in the prison cell. Because he swallowed all the blood in his stomach, the gendarmerie guards didn't even notice.
He is indeed a tough guy, but with that kind of pain, it is impossible for ordinary people to do it!
Platoon leader Wang observed all the houses and side streets he passed.
Even the height of the houses and the edges and corners of the buildings at the intersection of light and dark have passed through several street intersections.
He was paying attention to the house numbers, restaurants, and grocery stores, because most of these places had back doors.
On the street under the sun, amid the squeaking of mule carts, the roadside is lined with old houses that are in disgrace. When passing those shops, the people inside just cast their eyes indifferently on the crowds of people walking in the sun.
Most of the shops are dilapidated and old, and the people sitting in the house have become a bit blurry.
Outside the grain depot, there were more than one team delivering grain.
The grain truck was parked in the sun, and the crowd was squatting and sitting on the walls of the courtyard. The mules that had been unshackled were far away from the sun.
The platoon leader of the security group entered the courtyard through the wooden gate.
"About two hundred meters along this wall, you will find the Japs barracks. The Japs arsenal is inside. Beyond that is the Japs military police, the police station, and the hospital and county maintenance government." A security guard in an old khaki military uniform stood in front of Wang. the platoon leader whispered next to him.
Platoon Leader Wang looked at the street carefully. The houses on both sides were one floor next to each other, with five or six houses separated by a brick firewall in the middle.
There is a dark alley between about ten houses, but I don't know where it leads.
"Did you see those alleys?" Wang Liujin said to the person next to him.
"Those alleys lead to the streets behind. Some places are very narrow. After I hand over the food later, I will take you for a walk while eating." The soldier from the security group next to him took out a cigarette and said He handed one to Wang Liushou.
After the two clicked, Wang Liujin leaned against the courtyard wall and looked around at the nearby terrain.
It took a long time to deliver the grain, and tens of thousands of kilograms of grain went into the Japanese warehouse.
He only took out a stack of papers stamped with red stamps.
The common people carried a few bags from the grain trucks and dispersed on their own. There was not much grain in the bags.
You have to go to those grain stores to sell them and exchange them for some daily necessities, even oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Everyone in the group also let out a long breath, and then it was time for free activities, in twos and threes, looking for a place they liked.
The shopkeepers of the nearby grain shops had been waiting for a long time, and several girls dressed up in gorgeous clothes also appeared in the sun.
The sound of Yingyan was heard endlessly, and several members of the security team were quickly pulled away.
The remaining people were a little embarrassed, even a little envious.
"That little Wang, come with me to get something." The security team platoon leader finished his instructions to Wang Liujin, and then turned to the remaining people and said: "You go and get your drinks first, without waiting for us."
"Okay, platoon leader, don't forget that you can't leave the city after dark."
"Go to this shitty city, find a place to rest for the night, and come back tomorrow."
There are always a few people in the team who have relatives in the city, and they are all familiar with each other and go in groups on their own.
"Let's go." The platoon leader whispered to Wang Liujin.
The two of them raised their legs and disappeared into the distance along the wall into the sunset. Several people who had paid their food supplies followed the two of them from a distance.
A three-story building appeared in the wall on the north side of the street ahead. A plaster flag hung high on a pole on the roof, swaying gently in the breeze, much like a menstrual towel.
There was a sign hanging at the door, "Japanese Gendarmerie", the door was open, no horses were allowed in front of the door, there was a barbed wire fence, and a Japanese soldier stood in the guard box, warily eyeing several security groups approaching.
"This used to be the seat of the county government. The Japanese took over this place after they came and kept the county government next door." The platoon leader of the security group spoke quietly to Wang Liujin in a low voice.
Platoon leader Wang looked at the opposite side casually: a restaurant, a brothel that was not open yet, and a trading company selling Japanese goods that was open next to it. Judging from the Japanese sign on the lintel, it must be owned by the Japanese.
The hand holding the rifle was trembling a little. The face of the Japs standing guard in front of the gendarmerie was nothing special. Apart from being relatively short and stocky, he didn't feel that the Japs were very scary, but the military uniform made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Resisting the idea of stepping forward and breaking the Japanese's neck, he walked slowly past the gendarmerie gate with a smile, and took advantage of the opportunity of his smile to glance at the buildings inside the gendarmerie.
A car and two three-wheel motorcycles were parked in the yard.
There were two Japs with guns standing at the door of the gendarmerie building.
The sunset sunlight was blocked by their bodies, casting long shadows behind them.
Platoon leader Wang quickly counted the windows of the building, estimated the distance, and judged how confident he could be if he shot in the building opposite.
However, the result disappointed him. The distance was more than 150 meters. With the gun in his hand, even if the opponent was standing at the window, he had no confidence that he could hit him.
"The office of the gendarmerie captain is at the back, and there are only civilian personnel in front. Therefore, there is no chance of shooting from the opposite side. In the past, the anti-rape team organized by the national army carried out two attacks on the opposite side, and even used artillery. As a result, There were no Japanese casualties at all." The platoon leader of the security group knew Wang Liujin's thoughts and warned carefully.
Wang Liujin raised his head and looked around, and took a closer look. There were countless bullet holes in the outer wall of the small building, and only a few pieces of glass were obviously old, indicating that the house had been renovated.
The gendarmerie building in the distance also had some faint traces of smoke and fire.
There was a rumbling sound from the front, and a three-wheeled motorcycle drove over with blue smoke, followed by a truck.
The two quickly stepped aside and lowered their heads.
The Japanese on the tricycle glanced at the security team members for a few times and rushed over without caring.
There was a machine gun mounted on the roof of the car behind, and there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers standing in the car. Following the motorcycle, they quickly turned into the gendarmerie gate where the Japanese sentry moved away after hearing the sound.
Platoon leader Wang suddenly felt relaxed. I can't break into the gendarmerie, so I can fight against your Japanese convoy assembly, right?
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
