Independent mixed brigade department.
The brigade leader, Rikio Komatsuzaki, an old Japanese soldier, had a smile on his face and held a teacup in his hand.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite was sweating profusely.
There was a Go game between the two of them, and the situation was in a stalemate.
"Nie Sang, you seem to be having a hard time?" The old devil spoke very proficient Chinese and asked with concern.
"General Komatsu is so good at chess that Nie has to go all out!" The middle-aged man wiped his sweat. He couldn't lose or win. How could it not be hard?
Next to the two of them, Nuo Da's conference room was packed with people.
The commander of the gendarmerie, the detective captain, the city defense commander, and the police captain were all present.
The phone next door rang non-stop, and the sound of birds chirping in Chinese did not stop at all.
From time to time, military police and traitors in black came in and out with folders and whispered in front of the heads of each unit.
After summarizing the latest information from each unit, the military police commander came to Komatsu's side and bowed to report.
"Report, so far, we have found that county brigades and district teams from five counties are gathering. The total strength should not exceed 600 people."
"Commander of the Independent Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column of the Southern Hebei Military Region!" Commander Xiaosong Brigade twitched his lips, put down the chess piece, looked at the middle-aged man opposite and smiled: "You lost!"
The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said: "The general is strategizing, Nie is willing to lose."
Old Japanese Xiaosong narrowed his eyes: "There are only 600 cowards in five counties?"
The military police commander smiled: "Your Majesty General, it seems that the policy of using China to govern China has achieved results."
A short, fat Japanese man with three stripes and two stars on his epaulettes was marking the troop positions and movements of the Eighth Route Army on the map.
After a while, the old Japanese bowed to the Japanese and said: "Your Excellency, the troops transferred have entered their predetermined positions."
The old devil put his hands behind his back and walked to the map and looked at it: "It seems that the Eighth Route Army is still very united."
The commander of the military police smiled grimly: "Tomorrow, all of them will disappear!"
The old devil waved his hand and said seriously: "Suzuki-kun, you should be like brother You, who can't express his emotions and anger!"
The commander of the military police put away his smile: "Yes, thank you general for your guidance!"
"Yoshi, it's getting late, everyone should go to bed early."
The police chief, detective captain, and city defense commander in the room looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.
When I say rest early, I mean go to the four-person duty room downstairs with a telephone and lie down for a while.
At this time, no one will leave rashly. If something goes wrong, who the hell can tell clearly?
The conference room returned to calm.
The old devil arranged a separate room for the middle-aged man named Nie.
The middle-aged man asked the gendarme who led him into the house for a pack of cigarettes and lit it.
He took a deep breath and thanked the military policeman with a smile.
Then, he blocked his sight with his body and kept bending and waving his index and middle fingers while holding the cigarette.
Suddenly, there was a rushing sound in the yard.
Then a Japanese soldier yelled: "Stop, don't disturb the general's rest."
A low bird voice whispered in the corridor: "Report, it's urgent!"
"What's the emergency?"
"Prisoner Li Chenghua is dead."
"What? Take me to see you." The Japanese's voice was urgent: "Call the military doctor."
The sky is bright.
HD Eastern Outer Suburbs.
The endless blue waves, green and yellow waves rise and fall in the morning breeze.
The big trees dotted in the blue waves swayed left and right, full of vitality.
A deserted village with no one around, with ruins and ruins without a single good house.
Wang Peng was surprised. He couldn't believe that he would see Hu Yi in such a place.
Hu Yi was not surprised. As expected, the supplementary group also sent people. Their defense area was not far from here.
Wang Peng stepped forward quickly: "You...why are you here?"
"How many of you came on a mission?"
Wang Peng did not hide anything: "There is one company in the vanguard, and there are three more companies to the west of the railway line at the junction of the two counties."
Captain Guo, who came out of the village with Hu Yi, was a little surprised: "Do you know each other?"
Wang Peng nodded: "We are in contact with the independent regiment's defense area and have had exchanges before."
Captain Guo nodded: "You came a little late, the meeting is over."
At this point, Captain Guo turned to Hu Yi and said, "Well, Captain Hu, you and Captain Jia go out for a walk first, and I will talk to Wang Ying about the mission."
Hu Yi said nothing more and followed a young soldier on guard duty outside the village.
Walk outside the village to a small mound slightly above the ground.
Green sorghum and green wheat about to be harvested are scattered high and low around the village.
Hu Yi planned to leave the village to take a look at the terrain near the county seat. It would not be a big problem with or without Captain Guo.
"Captain Hu, you guys are very generous." Captain Jia looked at Hu Yi who still had a shell gun hanging on his shoulder, a Zhongzheng Duo rifle on his back, and three heavy leather boxes on his waist belt.
Hu Yi took out the telescope from his backpack and said calmly: "As long as you dare to attack the Japanese, you can have anything."
In the field of vision of the telescope, the fields are no longer barren, and everywhere as far as the eye can see are patches of green gauze tents and wheat fields about to be harvested.
In the concentrated settlements and villages in the distance, smoke is rising everywhere.
Blown away by the morning breeze and drifting across the fields.
Occasionally, you can see people getting up early in the distance and busy in the vegetable fields.
At the end of the green, the blurry HD ancient city is looming in the morning mist.
Just across the Zhanghe River, the scene in the fields is completely different.
Vice-captain Jia, who was squatting next to Hu Yi, said with envy in his voice: "Captain Hu, your telescope is really advanced."
Hu Yi ignored it. The telescope was a treasure and it was impossible to give it away casually.
While marching at night, we discovered that sorghum and wheat began to appear on both sides of the road.
Breathing the lively air makes you feel happy and the cells in your body seem to become more energetic.
I only slept for two hours, and I didn't seem to feel tired at all.
Carefully calculate the distance to the mass burials in the eastern suburbs of HD.
I passed here before when I went south in the early years, but unfortunately I only walked around the city wall and was not very familiar with the surrounding terrain.
He took out the map from his backpack and compared it with Captain Guo during the meeting last night.
He stared blankly at a place called Lincun in the western suburbs of HD: a military airport.
After a while, Hu Yi suddenly asked Captain Jia next to him: "Captain Jia, it's still early. Let's follow the sorghum bushes to the edge of the city to have a look?"
Captain Jia shook his head: "No one can leave the team at this time without Minister Liu's approval."
Hu Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll go back to find Minister Liu."
As soon as they entered the village, they saw Minister Liu leading Wang Peng, Gong Shaofeng, and Wang Dashan out of the village.
Minister Liu, who was walking in front, greeted Hu Yi with a smile: "Hey, Battalion Commander Hu? You don't want to sleep, so you came out so early to reconnoiter the terrain?"
Hu Yi looked at Minister Liu who was walking with a slight limp and said hello calmly: "Hello!"
"Just now, Battalion Commander Wang also said that he wanted to reconnoiter the terrain. It seems that you have the same idea. Let's go out and have a look." Minister Liu's attitude towards Hu Yi was very different from yesterday. He should obviously know it from Wang Peng Something happened.
Following, two figures trotted over from behind.
Hu Yi looked calm.
It was Zhao Wu, commander of the second company of the first regiment and the first battalion, who had led the team out at night. He shouted from a distance: "Report to battalion commander Hu, Zhao Wu of the second company is reporting to you!"
Hu Yi nodded slightly: "Yeah"
Minister Liu was stunned for a moment: "This is"
Captain Guo, who was following us, looked a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "We are from a follow-up team. They just arrived."
Since we want to conduct reconnaissance, we must have a plan.
The group returned to the village again.
But I saw a compound that had just been cleared out.
There were neatly arranged bicycles parked in the courtyard, and the ground was full of people sleeping.
Rifles stood in a clump.
There is one mortar, but there are two seats, and there are three shell boxes next to it.
There were four light machine guns, and four backpacks were placed next to them. The small half exposed from the mouth of the bag should be spare magazines.
One heavy machine gun and four ammunition boxes next to it.
Minister Liu's heart jumped: "You guys brought so many things here?"
Zhao Wu showed off proudly: "Hey, we don't have many bicycles, so we can't carry too many things."
Minister Liu turned to Hu Yi and asked: "How many people came yesterday?"
Hu Yi frowned: "More than two hundred"
"How's the firepower?"
"We are moving in a hurry and are armed with light weapons."
Liu Bu turned to look at Guo Xing and whispered: "Why didn't you say anything last night?"
Captain Guo's face turned red: "As soon as Battalion Commander Hu arrived, he arranged the accommodation for the soldiers and brought him over for a meeting without looking carefully."
