Since the first battalion occupied the high ground, Kurosaki was assigned by Xu San to command the defense.
Fifteen people were given to him. In order to relieve the language barrier, Xu San also specially assigned him the only one in the factory. .
There are fewer people, but a defensive posture still has to be adopted.
Now the attack of the second battalion here failed again and stopped.
Xu San took out his binoculars and looked at the battlefield. After explaining a few words, he took Gray Wolf to the other side to find Kurosaki.
Kurosaki's position was also temporarily built. Because of Kurosaki's command, it looked pretty good, but compared to Murakami's position, the position here was relatively crude.
On the battlefield, Kurosaki disappeared.
This frightened Xu San quite a bit. He knew Kurosaki's shooting skills, which were on par with Li Si's.
It was precisely because of his good marksmanship that Xu San asked him to come over from Yamamoto, just to take a good look at the boy. However, he didn't pay attention and the boy disappeared.
Could it be that his hands were itchy and he was looking for a place to shoot?
But, it shouldn’t be!
Kurosaki is not the kind of person who loves killing people. He will not act without orders.
After asking around, no one among the dozen or so puppet soldiers knew.
Xu San frowned, thinking about Kurosaki's possible whereabouts, but couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
With a frown and some anxiety, after kicking a few puppet soldiers, a big wet tongue began to lick his hand.
It's Big Big Wolf. As Xu San's most loyal henchman and a system-bound henchman, Gray Wolf naturally knows what Xu San is worried about.
Xu San smiled, and while stroking Xu San's big head, he said, "How could I forget you! Come on, take me to Kurosaki."
"Ouch~" After a low growl, Big Big Wolf raised his nose, sniffed hard, and then turned around and took Xu San to Kurosaki.
About an hour later, Xu San, led by Big Big Wolf, touched the butt of the first battalion and found Kurosaki in an inconspicuous tree hole.
Looking at Kurosaki, Xu San said with an unhappy expression, "Kurosaki-kun, how could you leave your post without permission?"
"I sent three people to investigate the Eighth Route Army's movements, but the intelligence they brought back was basically fabricated." Kurosaki said angrily, "I suspect they didn't go at all, but just found a safe place to sleep. "
Xu San sneered in his heart, your guess should be correct. According to the urine of the puppet soldiers, this is what they should do.
"So that's it!" Xu San put away his unhappy expression and asked, "Then what did Kurosaki-kun detect?"
"Time is tight, and I haven't detected much intelligence, but I have a rough idea of the enemy's firepower configuration!"
"Oh~ tell me."
"The Eighth Route Army currently occupying the highlands probably has a reinforced company! Three light machine guns, one mortar, and I haven't figured out the rifle yet, but there should be one in hand. As for the ammunition, it should be sufficient, because Murakami's team has sufficient supplies. If they can capture this highland, they will naturally get supplies." Kurosaki said clearly.
After Xu San secretly noted it down, he continued to ask, "Is it just such a small number of people? I remember Mr. Murakami said yesterday that there was a battalion."
"There is indeed a battalion of troops, but there is only one reinforced company stationed on the high ground. The other troops are scattered and hidden. I don't know the specific location where they are hiding, but from some traces, I can judge that their marching direction should be Chu. good."
"Hiding? Are you calling for reinforcements? Who are you going to fight? The fifth battalion?"
Kurosaki took out a wrinkled sketch from his pocket and said, "It's not the fifth battalion, it should be in the direction of Xinkang. Now that Chuliang is surrounded, the nearest reinforcements are Xinkang's troops, but Xinkang only has one small team. , even if we detain the defenders, we won’t be able to send many reinforcements.”
Xu San looked at the map and seemed to understand something, "In the direction of Xinkang, that is to say, our reinforcements may be assembled in Xinkang. After the assembly is completed, will we attack in one fell swoop?"
"Yeah! That's how the superiors arranged it. But... I think the cement factory and Chu Liang are a trap and a bait. The Eighth Route Army is waiting for us to take the bait."
Xu San thought for a moment and patted Kurosaki on the shoulder, "Reinforcement is a commonly used tactic of the Eighth Route Army. If you can think of it, the headquarters will definitely think of it. And our current task is to guard the cement plant for 24 hours. Now it seems that this task has been completed. , we can’t be distracted by other things. Let’s go back to our position!”
Kurosaki didn't say anything more. He tidied up and went back to the position with Xu San.
.
Shanghu Town, railway station.
The train was filling up with water, and Ji Wushuang took advantage of this moment to jump off and take a breath.
The carriage was too stuffy. Even though it was a private room, he still felt suffocated.
Shanghu Station is not big, but there are also some small businesses, buying some dry food, cigarettes and so on. Miss Ji walked around and found that there was nothing delicious, so I walked to the side to have a look, but within a few steps I was stopped by a A uniformed railway employee stopped him and said, "Miss, you can't go forward. There's martial law over there?"
"Martial law? I've been here before, Shanghu. This is not a military station, so why is it subject to martial law?"
"I don't know about this either," the staff member said.
Ji Wushuang took a glance and found that there were Japanese patrolling not far away.
As an underground intelligence agent, although her rank was not very high, she was still quite aware, so she took out a few dollars from her pocket and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the staff, "What's going on? Tell me about it." !”
When the staff saw the money, they quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into their pockets. Then they rolled their eyes and made sure that no one was nearby before saying to Ji Wushuang, "Miss, the locust army has been gathering there since the morning. It looks like... Want to fight?"
"War? Where?" Ji Wushuang asked in a low voice.
"I don't know about this!" The staff member had a strange expression.
"My hometown is Ping'an County, and this time I just want to go home and have a kiss." Ji Wushuang lied, and then took out a few more dollars.
The staff calmly took the money and said, "Shouldn't we get off at this stop in Ping'an County?"
The corner of Ji Wushuang's mouth moved slightly. She didn't expect that someone would find out the flaw. However, she was also a person who was used to lying, so she immediately rounded up her words and said, "Let's go to Niangzi Pass first, and then go back to Ping'an. That's the way to go."
The staff member nodded and did not dwell on the flaw in Ji Wushuang's words. Now that he has collected the money, he should answer their questions properly, "I really don't know where to hit, but it should be in that direction." Then he arched his chin eastward.
East? Safety?
Probably not.
Chu Liang?
Or Niangziguan, which is further away?
Or somewhere else?
