Under the night, the road in the wilderness was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
After ending the ambush, Xu San and Xiao Hong slowly approached the bodies of the nine puppet soldiers. This was Xiao Hong's first battle. Although it ended quickly, the first killing still made her feel extremely uncomfortable. , she resisted the feeling of vomiting in her belly and followed Xu San closely.
When there were still more than ten meters away, Xu San made a stop gesture.
Seeing this, Xiao Hong quickly asked, "Is there anyone left alive?"
"I don't know! But just to be sure, it's better to test it out." Xu San said as he took out a grenade from his body, pulled off the safety, cracked it on the ground, and then threw it out.
"Boom!" After an explosion, Xu San and Xiao Hong continued to approach. Instead of checking the body first, they aimed at the head and pulled the trigger in advance.
Xiaohong could still hit the target at this distance. Although it was a little off, she could still fire another shot with enough ammunition.
After more than a dozen gunshots, the night returned to silence again.
Xiaohong's heavy breathing was clearly audible at this moment. Even if the evening breeze was bleak, a layer of fragrant sweat oozed from her body.
After trying hard to steady her breathing, she asked, "There's no chance of survival this time, right?"
"Well! It should be gone, but you can't let down your guard and seize the time to lick the bag and touch the body!" Xu San said sharply.
"Um!"
Xiaohong agreed softly and began to touch the corpse.
It was a bit disgusting, but the excitement of collecting the loot also made her reach out to the bloody corpses on the ground.
Among the nine people, Merida's death was the most miserable. First, his head was blown off by a shot from the box cannon, and then he was shot again by Xu San while he was refilling the gun. At this moment, his head was already to pieces. It's hard to identify, but fortunately if you look carefully you can still tell that this is the commander of the communications battalion who teased Xiaohong at noon.
"Hey~" Xu San sighed quietly and said to the dead Merida, "You idiot, it's not good to be alive, why do you have to ambush me? Don't you know that I am a time traveler? For you little ones, As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what shit you’re going to poop on.”
"Leader, what did you say?"
"Nothing, just scold this idiot." Xu San laughed and started touching the body.
"Oh~ but he can't hear you when you scold him." Xiao Hong asked in confusion.
"Just treat it like a curse."
As Xu San said, he took out a small book and took a look at it. It felt like it was a pornographic book. He flipped through it casually and threw it aside.
Then he dug out some ocean and French currency, as well as a handful of Braunings.
This is good, I can easily carry it on my waist.
"Leader, there is a telegram here, but it is cipher text."
"Secret text?" Xu San glanced at the little yellow book he threw aside, "Look to see if this is the code book."
Xiaohong came over with a document, and Xu San handed over the flashlight.
By the light of the flashlight, Xiaohong flipped through the yellow book and checked the secret text, her expression solemn and serious.
After a moment, she closed the little yellow book and said, "This is indeed a code book."
"What's written on it?" Xu San, who was still touching the body, asked casually.
"I haven't read the details of the message from Taiyuan Command to the Ninth Brigade. It's a bit long!" Xiaohong said.
"How long will it take to decipher it?"
Xiaohong: "About half an hour."
"Hurry up and decipher it!" Xu San said, walking to the motorcycle and turning on the headlights to provide sufficient lighting for Xiao Hong.
Then Xu San's movements of touching the corpse became much gentler, trying not to let his voice disturb Xiao Hong.
Forty minutes later, Xiao Hong handed her notebook to Xu San, "This is the Japanese's strategic deployment of the Ninth Brigade, and it is related to the autumn harvest raids."
After Xu San read the message, his brows tightened and he thought to himself, the Japs have finally started.
I reconfirmed the start date of this Shanxi sweep, August 20th!
this day
Is it a coincidence?
August 20th, isn’t it the date when the Hundred Regiments War begins?
Xu San looked at the tragically dead Merida and said, "It's true that you are stupid. You went out to fight an ambush and brought a message with you. Not only did you bring the message, you also brought a code book. I think you almost even carried the radio on your back. .”
"Leader, you are right. I have never heard of such an idiot. As the commander of a communications battalion, he would make such a mistake." Xiaohong echoed, "But, leader, you are scolding him now." Isn’t it a waste of words?”
"Why are you wasting your breath? Look at me scolding him, but he doesn't even dare to fart. Isn't this very enjoyable?"
"Haha~" Xiaohong smiled awkwardly.
"Why are you laughing? There is a saying that villains die by talking too much. The more they talk, the faster they die!"
"But he didn't even say anything?" Xiao Hong couldn't help but ask.
Xu San raised his eyebrows and said, "As a leader, I order you not to be stubborn!"
"Uh~~" Xiaohong pouted in grievance and snorted, "Humph!"
Looking at the codebook in Xiaohong's hand, Xu San asked, "Did you write down the codebook?"
After hearing what Xu San said, Xiaohong immediately rolled her eyes at Xu San, "Leader, I am not a god. This book has at least 30,000 words. How is it possible for you to ask me to write it down in such a short time."
"Then how long will it take for you to memorize it exactly?"
"At least one day!" Xiao Hong replied proudly.
Although 30,000 words is not too much to memorize by rote, the codebook is different from others. It not only needs to remember the content of the article, but also the layout. That is to say, the page, line, and word must be remembered exactly. .
Xu San thought about it, it was too difficult for Xiaohong to memorize it completely in a short period of time.
After thinking about it again, he reached out to get the code book back, looked at the title of the book and its related information, "Have you written down the title and author's edition number?"
Xiaohong nodded proudly, "Of course, this is necessary."
"That's good!" Xu San said and handed the code book to Xiao Hong again, "According to the code book, you can't forge a fake message again."
"No problem? But, leader, I can't imitate this mark."
"It's okay. Come on, I'll write it. My handwriting is ugly, like a soldier's handwriting, and it's impossible for a communications camp to have only one person write the message." Xu San said.
The message didn't change much, except that the location of the fifth camp was changed to a position that was easier to stir up trouble.
Xiaohong compared the two messages and asked, "Leader, this has changed almost nothing, it just changed your fifth battalion."
Xu San smiled, "If you change too much, the secret will be revealed. This is the best. The fifth battalion is now in the center of the entire sweep. As long as the fifth battalion acts properly, it will definitely make the Japanese and puppet troops in western Shanxi uneasy."
Xiaohong blinked and thought Xu San was so awesome.
It’s hard to code, hard to write, in short, it’s hard to do anything with your fingers, even opening a Coke bottle is painful.
Feeling very depressed
