When it gets dark, an early crescent moon hangs in the sky.
Hu Yi had no intention of spending the night in the town.
Hu Yi had the ID of the detective team and was not very worried about leaving the town. It was impossible for the traitor to find out Hu Yi's identity in a short time, not to mention that his ID was genuine.
Captain Geng and Goudan continued to stay at the inn, planning to go to the town to catch a tongue in the middle of the night. The town was so big that the security forces could guard the intersection during the day and they could leave at any time by climbing over the wall at night.
To be on the safe side, Hu Yi still arranged for Lao Geng and Goudan to drive the mule cart at the front to visit the security army checkpoint. Even if the security army really wanted to play some tricks, Ma Liang, who was hiding in the north of the town, could handle it.
The mule cart was loaded with grain, and Lao Geng replaced all the meat with grain. The wheels creaked on the stone road.
Yatou and Luo Fugui were hanging behind at a distance of thirty meters.
Hu Yi and Big Dog were last.
The security forces did not search Lao Geng when he passed the checkpoint, nor did they check the goods at all.
The exit from the city seemed to go smoothly. When it was Hu Yi's turn to leave at the end, the security forces guarding the city even greeted Hu Yi and gave him a friendly reminder to pay attention to safety when walking at night...
The traitors' inspection and defense in the town were not as strict as expected, and were even more relaxed than usual, as if they were not worried that the Eighth Route Army might send people to inquire for information.
Baidaokou Town.
Noisy whistles sounded in the town.
The streets of the town were filled with gray figures hurriedly running towards the town hall, where nearly a hundred security troops were stationed.
Wu Laosi, the mayor of the town and commander of the company, had an angry look on his face: "Move quickly, it's so slow to get together!"
The team finally assembled, and a security army platoon leader asked in a loud voice: "Mayor Wu, it's already dark today, can't you let the brothers have a peaceful sleep?"
"It's not dark yet, go to sleep like your mother!" Wu Laosi suddenly pulled out the musket from his waist and fired a shot into the sky.
boom.
The noisy team finally calmed down and the team became uniform.
Perhaps because there is no shortage of bullets, the security forces have long been accustomed to Wu Laosi's habit of drawing his gun at every turn.
"Everyone, check the weapons now!" Wu Laosi shouted loudly, imitating the tone that Wu Laosi had trained him.
A group of security forces quickly picked up their guns, pointed their muzzles at the ground, and pulled the bolts loudly.
Soon, two large barrels of dry millet rice, two large pots of stewed vegetables, and a large basket of white flour steamed buns were brought over. Wu Laosi waved his hand: "After the meal, the team will set off immediately."
The security forces only ate such good food once a month, and the team immediately fell into chaos again.
boom.
There was another gunshot: "Damn it, do you really think that the rules I told you are a joke?"
The team finally regained order.
A platoon leader asked: "Hey, Fourth Brother, where are we going?"
Wu Laosi raised the oar in his hand: "Shut up, have you forgotten the rules that big brother has set for us? Don't fucking ask, eat quickly, we will know when we get to the end of the field!"
"Fourth brother, today is supposed to be the day to deliver food. Why haven't you seen the brother delivering food yet?"
Wu Laosi was angry: "Call me company commander, then you will have to worry about Big Brother's arrangements here."
After saying that, Wu Laosi also felt a little strange. The brothers were generally not allowed to make mistakes in matters arranged by the boss!
Then the deputy captain arranged to raid nine rooms at night...will there be any problems?
...
Jiujianfang Village.
A half-moon hung in the sky, and it was still dark everywhere.
In the darkness outside the village, more than a dozen eyes guarded each intersection vigilantly.
Li Xiang supervised the literacy of the soldiers during the day. He worked hard all day without even taking a few sips of water. After arranging for the soldiers to make fires and cook, he started busy arranging the soldiers on guard duty at night to make preparations.
Time passed quickly. Because of the lack of water, the soldiers directly cooked millet and meat together. In the past few days, the soldiers of the Nine Battalions almost lived a good life with meat to eat every day. The villagers who stayed in the nine rooms were all He was a baseball player, so he was very happy to see it.
The villagers had no objection at all if the team had better food. Even when the soldiers from the cooking team filled a bowl for each of them, the villagers were as excited as the Chinese New Year.
The main force of the Nine Battalions is really rich. This is not a life that ordinary people can live.
Their idea is simple, maybe it won't be too long before the Eighth Route Army wins victory!
After dinner, the soldiers who changed sentries dispersed and walked in all directions into the moonlight outside the village.
The outer reconnaissance post of the Ninth Battalion was placed far away. Two soldiers hid behind a small slope on the southern road that passed through Baidaokou Town and basked in the sun all day. After dark, the weather began to get cooler.
Occasionally, there were caravans going north and south. The two of them observed carefully all day long. By the afternoon, not even a caravan was seen!
There are almost no ordinary people's activities on the road.
The security forces in the town made no movement except for the patrol team that circled outside the mayor. Since they were all unfamiliar faces, in order to avoid causing trouble, the scouts did not enter the town and just watched from a distance outside the town.
When it was getting dark, I looked into the town where the lights started to light up, and I could faintly see the shadows of people wandering in the main square. The security forces who had been in the town during the day came out from everywhere, and I could hear the noise in the distance. the sound of.
As expected, they should be preparing to gather for dinner.
The scout took out the fried rice he had brought with him, stuffed it into his mouth, mixed it with saliva, chewed it, and continued to observe.
It was already dark, and the plain under the moonlight looked like a sleeping giant. As expected, the comrades who were changing sentries should be arriving soon.
There was sudden movement in the town.
The sound of dense footsteps was faintly heard.
A dark shadow flows from the town.
The sentry who was observing felt nervous, and quickly bumped into the sentry next to him who was also observing with his arm: "The enemy has come out, heading south, hurry back and report!"
The person next to him hesitated: "Can you see how many people there are?"
"It's so dark, how do I know? Don't you have eyes?"
"Then why are you anxious? Wait a moment and see clearly before going back to report the news! Besides, can he outrun these puppet soldiers?"
"Hey, you kid don't listen to my instructions?"
"Hehe, who among us is following whom? How about I go back and ask the company commander, what do you want me to say? I'd better see it clearly before I say anything!"
"That's fine. Anyway, we still have an observation post behind us. If we don't go back, they will send someone back to report the news."
"Tell me, why did the battalion commander arrange to cut the phone line tomorrow? How about cutting it tonight?"
"Let's just do what the battalion commander arranges. Why are you worrying so much?"
"That's fine, let's let their team go first and go to the town to catch a tongue!" These two people were quite serious. There were more than 100 security troops who came out, but these two people didn't take the enemy seriously at all.
The battlefield of blood and fire made the living grow up very quickly, because those who could not adapt were injured or sacrificed.
They had only beaten the puppet bandits twice, and in the past two days, even the legendary and ferocious little Japs were beaten to the point of running away. The two scouts were even more confident.
The Ninth Battalion said it had several hundred men, which seemed like a lot, but if they were to be placed on a vast plain, they would not even be able to compete with a slightly larger bandit force. If they really had to fight face-to-face with the main Japanese field force with field artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, it is estimated that He couldn't even resist a Japanese charge.
But when facing the security forces, they all regarded them as soft persimmons. There were so many immoral villains in the Nine Battalions, and they were all daring to commit suicide!
In an environment like the Nine Camps, to be a scout, you must have two unique skills!
After a day in the sun, how can you brag to those cowards if you don't catch your tongue and go back empty-handed?
The battalion commander kept a straight face all day long. How could he have the nerve to say a few words to the battalion commander without knowing the size of the enemy?
After the Ninth Company was promoted to battalion, Hu Yi was away from the station for a long time. He couldn't even name half of the new soldiers!
So much so that the soldiers were even proud to have a word with the battalion commander!
The two murmured for a long time.
Finally, it was clear that the number of the security forces was only over a hundred. The two scouts were relieved and did not even bother to go back to report the news. They directly bypassed the main road and explored the town under the moonlight.
I dare not enter the town when there are many of you during the day, so at night it is not the world for us scouts?
Do you think our training for the past six months has been in vain?
The two scouts not only wanted to find out what these guys wanted to do when they went out in the middle of the night, but they even planned to bring two survivors back.
