The agreed location is not far from the base.
It only took Xu San more than ten minutes to arrive, but when he arrived, there was no trace of the little rich woman.
He didn't know how to track in the jungle, but he still learned a simple method of identifying traces from Kurosaki.
After searching, he easily found the way the little rich woman came, and soon found the place where the grenade had exploded. When he searched further, he found a pool of vomit.
After identification, it was confirmed that there was still undigested canned beef inside.
This is what they had for lunch.
This discovery made Xu San feel chilled, knowing that something had happened to the little rich woman.
A wave of annoyance welled up in my heart.
Even though he knew it was those bastards from Iga-ryu, he still let the little rich woman come out on her own.
After a brief moment of regret, Xu San continued to look for traces.
After patiently searching for more than half an hour with a round aid, he finally found a piece of paper nailed to a tree with a kunai.
After opening it, a few lines of short writing appeared in front of my eyes.
Dear Mr. Edogawa:
If you want your woman not to suffer, please rush to Laohugou, two kilometers and two kilometers west, before the sun sets.
Signed by Hattori Hanzo
Holding the note tightly, Xu San looked up at the sun that was about to set, shook his teeth, and immediately returned to the turret of the stronghold.
He didn't go back and ignore the little rich woman.
Instead, make some preparations.
Without the box cannon, his combat effectiveness would be reduced by more than half, so he had to prepare and calculate the time. Now Kurosaki has notified Yamamoto.
Originally, he planned to relay the information through Kurosaki, but now he decided not to wait and contact Yamamoto directly so that he could exchange some information with each other.
Xu San didn't know his current location, but that idiot Hanzo revealed the place name Laohugou.
With this place name, he could deduce a lot of information from Yamamoto, including the location here.
Rush back to the turret quickly.
Pick up the phone, shake the handle to dial, call the operator, and be transferred to the Yamamoto headquarters in Ping'an County.
It went smoothly. Yamamoto seemed to be waiting by the phone and answered the call immediately.
"Moxi Moxi, is this Colonel Yamamoto?" Xu San asked after hearing Yamamoto's voice.
"It's me. Kurosaki-kun has already told me about you."
"Listen to me first." Xu San rushed for time, interrupted Yamamoto and continued, "Now it has been confirmed that the ninjas guarding this stronghold are Iga-ryu ninjas, the same group of people who attacked us last time. They Not only did they hijack the train, but they also hijacked my woman, so I killed them all.”
"Kill them all?" Yamamoto on the other side of the phone couldn't believe it, and his tone was very surprised.
"Don't worry, I didn't attack the imperial soldiers. The people I killed were all lowly ninjas." After Xu San explained, he continued, "There is a place called Laohugou, which should be located around the Tongpu Line. We He was hijacked in the early hours of last night and then driven on a mountain road for more than an hour."
"Okay, are there any other clues?" Yamamoto asked.
"My place is a stronghold with a blockhouse. It seems to have been built for at least two or three years. It is about two to three kilometers away from Laohugou. However, the location of this blockhouse is unreasonable. It does not stand along the traffic line, but deep in the mountains. Maybe he's guarding something invisible. Nothing else."
After hearing this, Yamamoto turned to look at the map on the side and asked, "Along the Tongpu Line, Laohugou, a distance of 2-3 kilometers."
Standing next to the map, Yoshinohan quickly found the location, pointed at it with his baton, and said, "In the southwest of western Shanxi, south of Zhongtiao Mountain, and north of Chize County."
Yamamoto nodded and told Xu San the location.
Xu San was silent for a while, and then asked again, "Isn't it the order of General Shinozuka that happened this time?"
"This is not something you should know!" Yamamoto said sternly.
"Do you have a mark on the stronghold I am currently at?"
Yamamoto covered the receiver and relayed the question.
Yoshino immediately replied, "We don't have a stronghold."
After releasing the receiver, Yamamoto said, "No!"
Xu San on the other side of the receiver seemed to take a breath, "There should be a problem with Laohugou. I think it is the stronghold of Iga-ryu. I plan to wipe it out. Does Yamamoto have any objections?"
Yamamoto raised the corner of his mouth.
Destroying a stronghold by one person?
Haha, Yamamoto knew that Xu San was testing him.
Because Xu San was hijacked and the train was hijacked, he didn't know about it.
And the most important thing is that when he contacted the Taiyuan headquarters, the correspondent there told him that Yoshio Shinozuka had gone north for a meeting.
He could confirm that Shinozuka went to the meeting to be true, because the person he contacted was a confidant of Shinozuka, and he could tell him Shinozuka's whereabouts because he was a confidant of Shinozuka. Otherwise, how could the whereabouts of each downgraded commander be disclosed to others casually? Even subordinates need to keep it secret.
Through the information in her hands, Yamamoto also knew it at this moment.
Someone is causing trouble, trying to cause something big by taking advantage of Shinozuka being too far away.
The current situation in Taiyuan is considered stable. Although the battle on the Zhengtai Line is fierce at the moment, the war has not spread too far.
After getting the information he wanted, Xu San hung up the phone, and then Yamamoto also hung up.
He didn't look at the map. Even if he knew Xu San's location, it would be of no use.
Because now it is not an eight-way fight, but an internal fight.
He's not good at this.
But as Shinozuka's confidant, he still wanted to do something.
After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and dismissed the staff, leaving only Yoshino Rice.
Yamamoto sat on the chair, and Yoshino poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Yoshino-kun, you should know the matter."
"I guess I know!" Yoshinohan replied.
"What do you think?" Yamamoto asked.
After thinking for a moment, Yoshinohan replied, "It's best for us little guys not to get involved in the game between my big guys. Moreover, even taking a train from too far away to Chizawa will take seven or eight hours. There are too many changes in such a long time."
"Do you want to help that Xu San?" Yamamoto asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
"Master Yamamoto, isn't that what you mean?"
"No! That Xu San didn't take Kurosaki with him on this trip. He was afraid that something happened and I didn't know about it."
"What's going on? Will it be detrimental to us?" Yoshinohan asked.
"I don't know! On the surface, it seems to be related to women, which is consistent with his personality. But is he that simple?" Yamamoto asked.
"I don't know!" Yoshino lowered his head and said in shame.
"He let me go in advance. I'm thinking about how to help Mr. Shinozuka resolve this crisis." Yamamoto said meaningfully.
"Do you have a plan?" Yoshinohan asked.
Yamamoto shook his head, "I don't know the situation over there too far, but I know it's very complicated. Especially after the Xiangshan Town incident, the military's overt and covert struggles have become more and more serious." (End of Chapter)
