The night wind was cold, and two black figures with four short legs were swinging very fast.
A voice gasped: "This Tubal road... runs really fast..."
Shigenobu's deep voice was breathless: "It seems that your training volume has been light during this period."
"We are... doing intelligence work, and we are not competing with Tubalu to see who can run faster... Besides... they also have bicycles... take turns riding them."
"Don't worry, as long as they are targeted by us, even if they run to the horizon this time, we will catch them out."
"If I had known better, we should still ride bicycles..."
"Riding a bicycle? Aren't you afraid of being shot by the Eighth Route guerrillas?"
"Is it possible that the Eighth Route Army has discovered... that we are following behind?"
"That's why I let the advance team leave..."
"The village ahead...is our...contact point..."
The two of them ran into the ditch and hunched over to the south of the village. Shigenobu stopped.
After a while, a night owl sounded in the wilderness.
An unknown animal cry followed in the darkness under the moonlight.
Then, two figures emerged from the darkness.
Soon, the four of them came together.
"Shigenobu-kun!"
"You have worked hard!"
A dark figure asked: "Are you tracing the identity of this group of guerrillas?"
Shigenobu shook his head: "This is no ordinary guerrilla...Have you discovered anything?"
"We hid on the roadside in advance and eavesdropped on their conversation. We can confirm that this team wearing the uniforms of the reconnaissance team and the Imperial Association Army should be the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who attacked the railway blockade some time ago!"
Chongxin didn't want to be wordy with this person: "Is there any other news?"
"Yes, there is news from 'Mockingbird' that the Eighth Route Army Division is performing an important task... It may be related to the Eighth Route Army's secret transportation line to transport gold from Shandong to northern Shaanxi..."
Shigenobu was stunned for a moment: "Is the information reliable?"
"It shouldn't be wrong!"
Shigenobu thought for a while: "Report immediately, and let Robin continue to collect intelligence, mobilize the second team, third team and sixth team to support the Robin. Team 45 follow me to the west. Our most important target now is the team in front." Team.”
The man in the darkness hesitated for a moment: "Your Excellency Shigenobu, let me remind you that our goal should be to clear the Eighth Route Command in the occupied area."
Shigenobu waved his hand: "We have confirmed that the members of the Eighth Route Army's special agent group who attacked the Standing Team are in the front team!"
"Really? Then...why not mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress it?"
"Six pairs of footprints are the same as the footprints at the scene of the attack and outside the county town when the warriors were having a dinner. It's just a pity that these footprints were all left by the Eighth Route peripheral personnel. Therefore, we must stay put for now and follow them until we find those The owner of the bloody footprints!"
"I think there is something wrong here? The warriors were attacked more than a thousand miles away. How could they appear here?"
"That's not the question you should ask!"
"Yes, I understand that if this team goes further west, they will cross the imperial army's railway blockade. Once they enter the mountains, we will be in great danger if we follow them."
Shigenobu said coldly: "As an imperial intelligence officer, your statement is a shame. I will give you five minutes, and you will immediately arrange for each group of intelligence officers to implement the new plan!"
...
In the wilderness, two black figures leaned randomly on the dry ground. The sudden appearance of footsteps from the east made the two of them immediately nervous.
"What kind of ghost and snake is this in the middle of the night?"
"Since we joined the Self-Defense Forces and received pay from the Imperial Army, we have to work, right?"
"I feel like the Railway Self-Defense Force is useless, and the day and night are completely reversed..."
"Don't complain. If you don't want to do it, tell me earlier. There are many people who want to do it even if they don't want to do it."
"If Balu hadn't always destroyed the tobacco grown in my land, I wouldn't have done this thankless job."
"Hey, how much did your family grow this year?"
"About a dozen acres... If it weren't for the lack of water, the more than 100 acres of land would have been planted with tobacco..."
"What a beautiful thought. More than a hundred acres of land? Just paying taxes to Commander Lu costs more than ten thousand yuan. How can your family spend so much money?"
"Money can make all the difference, so wouldn't it be enough to recruit more refugees?"
"You are overthinking. You can make money by growing opium, but that guy named Lu is not a good guy either. After the new year, he increased the price of grain tenfold. We have worked hard all year round and still can't make a few bucks."
"Hey, I heard that you are related to Yu Jingsan?"
"What? You also want to open a pharmaceutical factory? Don't even think about it. How can they let people like us get involved in a business that makes a lot of money?"
"That's what I said, how about we organize some people to transport goods to Tianjin in a few days?"
"What a beautiful thought you have. If there is nothing wrong with you over there...if you meet those cruel and ruthless guys and take advantage of them, you will lose your personal and financial fortune by then?"
"You know what you're talking about. I heard that a few days ago, a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in the north forced their way through the blockade. The imperial army suffered heavy casualties. Later, more than a dozen people in the village next to the railway were killed by the imperial army."
"Uh... I really don't know what those people think about trying to communicate with the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army will not give them food and money. They are really out of their minds..."
"Hey, these are such troubled times!"
Let's guess, what are the backgrounds of these two guys?
"Let me start by saying that those people who passed by just now are from Wu Jinshan, and these two... hehe, they are probably the ones monitoring them from behind."
"You really can think of..."
"Hey, who can really trust whom these days? Who knows if Commander Lu will take advantage of the black man named Wu?"
"Hey, what time is it now?"
"I didn't know, the rooster hasn't crowed yet..."
"No, why didn't those boys in the village come to bring us food?"
"Maybe it will come later..."
Watching the black shadow in the east getting closer and closer, a black shadow warned: "Keep your voice down..."
"There seem to be only two of us. Why are we afraid of what he will do? Now in our area, even the guerrillas don't dare to come and operate."
"Hey, in these troubled times, the timid are starved to death and the bold are starved to death. What are the backgrounds of these two?"
"How about...we rob these two guys?"
"Don't move. These days, no one who dares to act alone in the middle of the night is a good person."
"Look, they seem to be carrying baggage, maybe a lot of money..."
"That's right. How about we hack these two guys and make a fortune?"
"I think so!"
"Then give it a try?"
"Just give it a try!" After saying that, the two men immediately followed the ditch in the wilderness to the roadside.
Seeing the two people walking quickly towards the west carrying their baggage, two black figures jumped out from the ditch: "Don't move, raise your hands, we are... the Eighth Route Army!"
Chongxin was startled and stopped quickly. He chased for eight miles and fifty or sixty miles, and his body was a little tired.
But he was not surprised by the sudden voice on the roadside: "Heroes, don't shoot... We are all good people and good citizens..."
"Hehe, which one of Qin Hui and Gao Qiu doesn't say that he is a good person?" A black figure sneered: "Hurry up, put your head in your hands and squat down!"
"Qin Hui?" Chongxin then remembered that Tang County is Yue Fei's hometown.
The origin of the other party is unknown, but it is unlikely that the Eighth Route Army will stay behind to spy.
As an intelligence officer, he didn't really believe that these two were Eighth Route Army!
Because, judging from the traces left by the group on the ground, the Eighth Route Army had passed through here half an hour ago. It was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to pull the rear team so far!
Relying on his skill and boldness, he planned to catch him alive.
After all, in addition to the Eighth Route Army, there is also an armed work force active in this area of the plain!
