On the road south of Baidaokou Town.
There was a troop of Japanese soldiers, with more than ten stretchers behind them.
In addition to six or seven wounded soldiers whose legs were injured and unable to walk, there were also three corpses.
The lieutenant regretted a little. If he had taken a car when he came out, he wouldn't have to worry about marching at all.
According to the current speed, we should arrive at Baidaokou Town at about four o'clock.
It gets dark early in spring, and the sky becomes dark before six o'clock.
It was originally planned to take ten minutes to clean up the village, but it was delayed by nearly an hour!
Fortunately, after finding three bicycles and giving them to Shigenobu, he didn't seem to say anything.
Shigenobu was riding a bicycle found in the village, followed by a squad of Japanese soldiers trotting along the dirt road to the north.
Not far ahead, the low and desolate Baidaokou Town has appeared in sight.
There was gunfire to the south.
The Imperial Army's interrogation in the town was very strict.
Shigenobu's face was grim, not just because these guys messed up the bicycle tire tracks on the ground.
"Hello, Taijun!" The puppet soldier holding a gun looked at the document held by the puppet soldier next to him.
The puppet soldier holding the gun shook his head and lowered his eyebrows and explained: "Yesterday we encountered someone pretending to be the Imperial Army, so we had to be careful..."
"Baga!!@#¥¥%¥%..." Zhongxin was angry and immediately revealed his identity in a bird's voice. How dare the short-sighted Imperial Alliance Army in front of him doubt his identity?
Could it be that the imperial army he was carrying behind him was fake?
He seriously doubted that the person opposite him who was looking at the certificate could not read at all...
Because that person held the certificate upside down in his hand.
Hearing the chirping of the birds, the puppet soldier holding the gun subconsciously raised the gun, then quickly put away the rifle, and continued to carefully accompany the smiling face: "Taijun, please... If you need any small help, just ask..."
Seeing that this person was quite cooperative, Shigenobu raised his hand and pointed: "You, follow me into the town immediately!"
The puppet soldier was very discerning and shouted to the puppet soldier who was holding the little devil's ID card upside down: "What else are you looking at? Hurry up and ask the mayor to prepare. The Taijun has come to our town and is ready to welcome..."
Accompanied by the puppet army, Shigenobu and his party looked at the bicycle wheel marks faintly visible on the stone slabs in the town.
It extends all the way to the town office.
Shigenobu let out a long breath, and finally large and small footprints appeared on the ground.
Very conspicuous.
The newly appointed pseudo-company commander and several other thin figures had been waiting at the door. When they saw three people dressed as ordinary people followed by more than a dozen Japanese, they hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Warmly welcome the princes... "
Zhongxin was suddenly shocked when these two footprints entered the town office...
not good!
Could it be that these people have secretly defected?
Or is their surrender to the empire simply an illusion?
Don't let the ship capsize in the gutter.
Having been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, he looked at the pseudo company commander in front of him, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face to warn: "The imperial army is behind us, please prepare to receive it immediately!"
"It's an honor for me to receive your Majesty when he arrives. I will do my best to receive you..."
Chongxin nodded: "Commander Wu arranged various ministries to encircle and suppress the guerrillas, why didn't you make any move?"
The pseudo-company commander quickly smiled shyly: "...last night our unit encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route guerrillas, and finally fell into the guerrillas' plan to divert the tigers away from the mountains, and suffered heavy losses..."
"Okay, so that's it...you guys performed well..." Shigenobu remained calm. At this time, he didn't have time to think about how to deal with these speculators with evil intentions.
They probably don't know their purpose: "Don't worry, we are just here to take a look..."
After that, he went directly to the town office.
The pseudo company commander didn't know why and hesitantly followed him through the gate.
As soon as we entered the house, there were several groups of Japanese soldiers milling around.
The town hall... is quite interesting. There is a door but no door leaf, and there are windows but no window sash. There is nothing in the room, not even a place to sit...
Not long after, Shigenobu waved the pseudo-company commander to stand aside, and the three people dressed as ordinary people began to sing: "The big footprint went out of the back door, but I didn't see the small footprint going out..."
"In other words, that little girl is still at the town office?" Chongxin frowned.
"It should be so!"
"You immediately lead a team of warriors out of the back door to continue the investigation..."
"Hai..."
Shigenobu waved to the pseudo-company commander: "Your office conditions are quite rudimentary, aren't they?"
"Hey, we are going to take advantage of the slack time in spring to renovate the yard..." The pseudo-company commander was helpless. He couldn't tell Taijun that all the things in the town hall were emptied by the guerrillas last night, right? Rice millet
Farm slack? Can we still grow crops these days? Isn't this lying with open eyes?
Chongxin was very suspicious, but he didn't tell the truth. He seemed to ask casually: "Hey, is there any girl in the town office?"
"Well, there isn't one in the town office, but there is one in the town. I'll make arrangements right away..." The pseudo-company commander was helpless. Although Captain Wu was not allowed to have prostitutes, there were quite a few widows in the town.
Shigenobu waved his hand: "I mean, are there any girls in the town hall? They are girls, not the comfort girls you imagined. Do you understand what I mean..."
The fake company commander quickly swore: "It's true...if I lie, I will be struck by thunder..."
"Haha..." Zhongxin turned around and whispered to the Japanese next to him. The remaining Japanese immediately dispersed and searched everywhere.
One of the Japs who went out from the back door ran back and went directly to Shigennobu and said, "Report, the big footprints went to the north. After coming back, they turned to the west. At the same time, I found the small footprints..."
You seem quite honest. Zhongxin said hello, and the Japanese searching in the courtyard immediately gathered. A group of people went out the back door and left in a hurry.
The puppet company commander muttered to the skinny puppet soldier next to him: "The kid is looking for a pair of big and small footprints, and he made it clear that the small footprint is that of a girl. Yesterday, the only small footprints at the town office were Li Xiaolian and that girl. Big footprints, nothing unexpected. , should be Company Commander Luo..."
The puppet army knew that the puppet company commander could speak Japanese, and the Japanese were really arrogant, thinking that the puppet army was illiterate, but there were just a few of them who were different.
...
West of Baidaokou Town.
The sun was setting and the sky was slowly darkening.
A group of people from Daomen who were preparing to enter the town were squatting in the ditch and watching the long line of Japanese soldiers in the distance to the south.
Xiao braid's eyes widened even more, and he carefully counted the approximate number of soldiers in the Japanese team.
When she returned to town, she heard gunshots and explosions from the nine rooms.
The Ninth Battalion has long believed that a certain pattern has been formed from warning to communication. The sound of gunshots means something has happened, and there will naturally be corresponding countermeasures.
Hu Yi had already made arrangements for the wounded who stayed in the village.
She was alone now. Even if she went there, it would not be of any use and she could only stare.
Suddenly, Li Xiaolian's apology voice came from the side: "That girl, we misunderstood you earlier!"
Xiao Hongying turned her head and muttered to Li Xiaolian in surprise: "Hey... we are a family, don't talk about this..."
"Thank you for saving Second Senior Brother..."
"I'm not sure whether he can survive. It depends on whether God will accept him..."
Li Xiaolian hesitated for a moment: "Tell me, are those Japs in the east the Japs team that Captain Ma mentioned that never appeared?"
"It should be..." Xiao Hongying suddenly turned her head: "Can you send someone to inform Hu... Camp Commander Hu!"
"What's the use of informing them?"
"Hey, don't you know that Jiuying specializes in fighting Japanese soldiers?"
When Xiao Hongying said this, Li Xiaolian was immediately startled, and even the other people lying on the ground were also startled.
Li Gang next to him had a bit of a dumbfounded expression on his face: "You can really boast that even the regular national army is no match for the Japanese. How can the Eighth Route Army defeat them? To defeat the puppet army, you have to plan and ambush, so you may not be able to defeat them... "
"The Japanese are about to enter the town. I think something will happen. It's best for all of us in the town to evacuate..."
Li Gang's face was full of worry: "But, Second Senior Brother has just finished sewing up the wound and needs to find a place to recuperate..."
Li Laosan next to him shook his head: "Where can I raise it? Why do I have to go to the town? In my opinion... it is better to go to the countryside."
Li Xiaolian stared into the distance: "Let's not enter the town first..."
Li Gang nodded, and then told Li Lao San: "Lao San, you go back from the tunnel to find out the situation first!"
"Okay." After Li Laosan said this, he prepared to enter the tunnel.
Li Gang gritted his teeth and confessed: "Don't do those useless things when you go back. Tell the brothers in the town to find those guys from the Rangers and then take care of Master's funeral."
"Wordy..." Li Laosan entered the tunnel and still muttered.
No one paid attention to the little girl's suggestion that the people in the town evacuate.
In the eyes of everyone in the Taoist sect, Xiao Hongying is actually still an immature child.
It's a pity that no one knows that this man has been in the army since he was a child. The National Army encircled and suppressed him, the Red Army moved, the Japanese raided, and the Eighth Route Army moved.
Together with Hu Yi, the number and scale of the battles they participated in were beyond what anyone in the Taoist sect could compare with.
Since neither Li Gang nor Li Xiaolian believed it, she didn't want to say more.
After all, it took a lot of effort to get the friendly forces to take the blame, and now there is still a key issue to deal with: Li Xiaolian knows the scout under Luo Fu.
This matter will be fatal once it is revealed.
So far, she has no intention of returning to Camp Nine.
When you go back, you must take this team back with you.
Now these Taoist people don't listen to her at all.
Hehe, you won't know until you suffer a big loss at the hands of the Japanese...
