The cavalry company galloped all the way and finally arrived at the Tongpu line after more than two hours.
Once you get here, you can't search along the railway line on horseback.
In recent days, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attacks have severely beaten the Japanese, and they have also made tight defenses along the railway.
After changing into civilian clothes, the troops were divided into three groups.
All the way to the south, all the way to the north, and all the way to guard the horses and equipment hidden on the roadside.
Among them, Sun Desheng went south and Wei Monk went north. The two teams dispersed and searched on foot along the railway.
After Monk Wei walked for about twenty minutes, he saw several people walking along the railway carrying luggage in front of him.
The night wind was bleak, and several people were walking unsteadily, with their heads lowered and dejected.
Seeing this, Monk Wei hurriedly went up to him, grabbed a middle-aged man in his thirties and wore a long gown and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
Monk Wei has a bald head and a ring scar on his head, and he looks a bit silly, which makes people like him.
The middle-aged man stood with one hand upright and bowed slightly, "Amitabha, master, it's better not to move forward!"
Monk Wei returned the courtesy and asked, "Why?"
"There are bandits ahead! No, it's the Eighth Route Army robbing?"
These words made the corner of Monk Wei's mouth twitch, but he did not show it and continued to ask, "I heard that the Eighth Route Army is a people's army. It does not take care of the people. How could such an army do something like banditry?" Woolen cloth?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "I've heard about it too, but rumors are worse than meeting. If I hadn't met today, I would have believed it! However, some of the words are the same as the rumors."
"What words?" Monk Wei asked.
"They don't take a needle or a thread, but they take money!" The middle-aged man laughed at himself, "But luckily they didn't hurt anyone. They took our money and let us go."
"I see you guys are still carrying your luggage. You must have taken the train?"
"Yes, we took the train. They stopped the train, and then sent troops to kick us off. They also said they were raising money for the Anti-Japanese War, and then they started to search everyone one by one. Finally, they even pretended to give us an IOU."
"Can you show us the IOU?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and took out a piece of paper from his arms.
At this moment, the sky is slightly bright, but you can see the writing on it clearly.
[Today I borrowed fifty French currency from XX. When the revolution is victorious, the arrears will be returned together with interest. Borrowing unit, New Second Group]
Looking at this IOU, Monk Wei not only felt a little amused, because Li Yunlong had also issued an IOU, and the format was almost exactly the same, but Li Yunlong was in his personal name, and this IOU was in the name of the New Second Regiment, and he also pretended to deduct an IOU. A bright red official seal.
Monk Wei returned the IOU to the middle-aged man and said casually, "Brother, the seal on this IOU is fake!"
"Haha~" the middle-aged man continued to smile bitterly, "Master, even if this article is true, do you really expect me to get it? Do I dare?"
"If it is true, I can really come back! Well, I will come back." Monk Wei explained for the Eighth Route Army.
The middle-aged man stood up with one hand and bowed slightly, "Master, I'm on my way, so I'll take my leave first."
Monk Wei didn't say much, but waved to two Eighth Route Army soldiers and asked them to escort the fellow villagers to a safe town.
After parting, Monk Wei continued to move forward.
Not long after, we encountered a large number of people coming towards us.
There were a large number of people in this group, at least two hundred.
I stepped forward and asked, and found out that they were probably the last batch of people to be released.
This time there were so many people that Monk Wei did not arrange for any more soldiers to escort him, but instead accelerated forward.
After running for a while, Monk Wei slowed down because the stopped train appeared in his sight.
He waved his hand to disperse the soldiers who were following him, and walked towards the train alone.
Everyone should have left by now, and only the conductor was left cleaning up the mess.
In order not to attract attention, Monk Wei deliberately pretended to be passing by and walked along the railway from the rear of the car to the front of the car. Only then did he realize that a large section of the track was missing at this moment, and the front of the car had derailed and rolled over beside the railway.
Continuing forward, he discovered many chaotic ruts and footprints.
Monk Wei was not a professional scout and could not tell much about these traces, but he was certain that the troops pretending to be the New Second Regiment came from the southwest.
Monk Wei is the ceiling of martial arts in "Bright Sword". His senses are very keen. Even if he is far away, he can feel that someone in the bushes not far away seems to be peeping at him.
He turned around and saw a figure waving to him.
It seems that I know myself, but I am not from the independent group.
After walking over, I found a handsome man, nearly 1.8 meters tall, almost the same as me, but slightly thinner than me.
"Hello, comrade, are you Wei Dayong from the Independent Regiment?"
After being called a comrade and being recognized, Monk Wei cautiously touched the pistol at his waist.
"Who are you? How do you know me?"
"I am Yun Conglong from the New Second Regiment. Our regimental leader told me that your kung fu is very powerful, so I am particularly impressed by you." Yun Conglong said and stretched out his big hand.
Monk Wei stretched out his hand and shook Yun Conglong's big hand, "You guys came so fast!? Is Commander Kong here?"
"Can you be unhappy? If you don't clear up this unjust injustice," Yun Conglong smiled bitterly, "We were the ones pretending to be the devils in the past. I didn't expect these little devils to learn so quickly."
"Did you find any clues?" Monk Wei asked.
"Go and talk over there, the regiment leader is analyzing the intelligence with them over there." Yun Conglong pointed in a direction and said.
Monk Wei nodded and followed Yun Conglong.
Seeing Kong Jie squatting on the ground studying the map, he immediately walked over and stood at attention, saluting, "Report!"
When Kong Jie saw it was Monk Wei, he immediately stood up and returned the salute, "Where's Lao Li?"
"The leader is at the back!" Monk Wei replied.
"Have you discovered anything?" Kong Jie asked as he continued to sleep.
"I found the ruts and footprints, and I judged that the people pretending to be you came from the southwest." After finishing speaking, Monk Wei thought for a moment, "This time they also issued IOUs to the people in your name!"
Kong Jie sighed slightly, "I know this, and they also released all the people. This time our New Second Regiment really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean it."
"Those who are purified will purify themselves. We have never done that thing. We are not afraid!" Yun Conglong said.
Kong Jie shook his head, "How come there are seven or eight IOUs among more than a thousand fellow villagers? Everyone is saying that the Japanese plan is so vicious this time!" (End of Chapter)
