Hearing this, Shangjiu Yifu suddenly fell silent.
If the enemy really retreats, they may really become a laughing stock.
"Impossible, this group can't retreat easily. Since they came so far, they wouldn't just attack once and then choose to retreat." Kamikyu Kazuo expressed his analysis.
I think that this Jinsui army must have a bigger target after coming so far. If they don't kill more of them, they will never leave.
"Co-captain, I'm just saying it. It may not be true." The Japanese Major replied. He only said it was possible, but he did not say absolutely.
"It's definitely not true. Just stop talking so much. Go down and do what you are still doing." Kagiri waved his hand.
"Hi!" The Japanese Major nodded and quickly turned around and left the office.
After the Japanese Major left, only Shangjiu Yifu was left in the office.
He got up and went to the window, took out a cigarette and lit one.
In fact, he had thought before that the enemy had retreated. The previous attack on Xiangyang was the enemy's last attack. The enemy planned to cause him more damage before retreating.
But after thinking about it, I still felt that the enemy should not have left, and probably went to Jingmen.
…………
At this time, Yunling County.
Two scouts came here in disguise.
There were Japanese and puppet soldiers at the gate of the city checking the people passing by.
The two lined up in the queue and entered the city smoothly.
"It feels like the puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers in this county are similar to the Japanese soldiers in other counties we have visited before." Mu Xiaoliu said as he walked.
This county is not big, with a population of only tens of thousands. In a county like this, the Japs can only send one or two squadrons to guard it.
Judging from the number of Japs at the city gate, there are not many Japs and puppet troops in this city.
"Yes, does that mean there is nothing wrong with this county? We can retreat and go to other counties?!" Jiang Cheng next to him suggested.
Since there is no problem, there is no point in continuing the investigation. It is better to go to the next county.
"We can't draw a conclusion so quickly yet. We are still conducting investigations. In this way, you go to the east gate and south gate to investigate, and I will go to the northwest gate to investigate and see if there are any Japanese military camps. There are more Japs," Mu Xiaoliu said.
Since the battalion commander sent them to investigate, there must be a reason for the battalion commander to not be so hasty. Moreover, this county is the closest to their current residence, so they need to do more investigation.
If the intelligence is wrong, they might kill one of their own people, so they can't be careless.
"Yes, that's what you said. Okay, that's it. We'll meet in front of the teahouse around three o'clock in the afternoon." Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement and chose the small teahouse not far ahead as the meeting place. .
“No questionIf there is a problem, then take action separately. "Mu Xiaoliu turned around and walked towards another street.
Jiang Cheng walked in the opposite direction.
At noon, Mu Xiaoliu came to the roadside stall to sell hot drinks. Eat at a dry noodle shop
“Boss, has anything happened in the city recently? ! "Mu Xiaoliu couldn't help chatting with the boss while eating hot dry noodles.
"Looking at your accent, you are not from here. "The boss heard from his accent that Mu Xiaoliu was not a local.
"Well, yes, I came here to join my relatives. The place where I was was attacked by the Japs before. I was afraid that the Japs would kill people when they entered the city. I ran towards my relatives. Unexpectedly, this place was also occupied. "Mu Xiaoliu nodded, telling lies without blinking an eye.
"Then you are lucky, but this place is not that good. Although the Japanese did not kill people here, they still did. Those who bully men and dominate women,
Look at the streets, you can see women everywhere.
They are all hiding at home, not daring to go out, for fear of being spotted by the Japanese. "When the boss was talking, he subconsciously looked to see if there was anyone nearby, and then became emotional after he spoke.
Those little devils are not doing human affairs, and the county is much more chaotic than before.
"Then why don't you leave? ! They also set up stalls in the city. "Mu Xiaoliu asked.
Since you think the city is unsafe, why don't you leave here.
"Leave? ! Where can I go? ! There are wars everywhere now, and we don’t know when this little devil will be driven out.
This way, we don’t have to be so afraid when doing business. "The boss replied helplessly. With the war raging, he doesn't know where he can go. He might as well stay here. At least he can make some money and support his family.
"That's true. "Mu Xiaoliu also felt a little heavy.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what happened recently. A lot of puppet troops suddenly came to the county. They seemed to be transferred from other counties. "The boss suddenly changed the topic and mentioned this matter.
"Puppet soldiers? ! When were you transferred? ! "Mu Xiaoliu wasn't particularly concerned about this, he just asked casually.
For him, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is the same as never before. No matter how many more troops are mobilized, they will not be able to pose any threat to them. .
"About ten days ago, three groups came one after another. They seemed to come from other counties. However, these puppet troops have not been seen much since they came to the county. The defenders of the city, The patrols are still the same batch of puppet troops from the original county.
I don’t know what the puppet troops transferred here do. Come here to eat? ! "The boss began to recall.
"How do you know that the patrols are all the original puppet troops? ! Maybe you don’t know about their changing of the guard? ! "Mu Xiaoliu suddenly became a little alert.
He felt that these puppet soldiers might not be simple.
"I have been shopping in this city all day long. I have basically seen all the troops, and they look familiar, so I know them. As for whether the puppet troops patrol at night, I don’t know., anyway, I didn’t see it during the day. "The boss replied.
After all, he has been in the city for many years and has sold hot dry noodles for so many years. If he doesn't even know some people, wouldn't his work be in vain?
"That's it. "Mu Xiaoliu suddenly fell silent.
"Speaking of which, these groups of puppet troops came, there were probably thousands of them, and each group of people who came over were escorted by carriages. I don’t know what’s inside, and I don’t know why the Japanese would send so many puppet troops to this small county. It’s really strange. "The boss couldn't understand this either.
When the county town was occupied, the number of Japanese and puppet troops did not change much. Suddenly, a lot of puppet troops increased.
"What kind of guns are those puppet soldiers carrying? "Mu Xiaoliu asked quickly.
"What kind of gun could it be? The puppet soldiers in the county only have those two types, the ones made in Hanyang or something like that. "The boss is somewhat knowledgeable. Business people and those who come to this stall to eat are all travellers. He also knows a lot of things.
Mu Xiaoliu frowned, he always felt There is something wrong with this group of puppet troops, but they can't tell what is wrong.
Although several groups of puppet troops came, the guns they used were all made in Hanyang, so there seemed to be no problem.
What’s going on?
Mu Xiaoliu couldn’t figure out the key to the problem.
“By the way, I found that the puppet soldiers who were transferred here are pretty good-looking. Strong and short, almost as tall as a Japanese! "The boss continued to speak at this time and pointed out the most critical point.
"Are you sure? ! "Mu Xiaoliu asked. He concealed his inner happiness. It looked like he was right. Those who came to this county were disguised as Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers wore puppet army clothes and used puppet army guns. , and then came over. As for the things they were escorting in the carriage, they were probably the weapons that these devils wanted to use.
In addition, the devils did not patrol the city very much. This was to avoid attracting too much attention, after all. Suddenly, there are a bunch of unknown puppet soldiers patrolling the city. It seems strange.
But if the Japanese stay in the military camp, there will be no such situation. The puppet soldiers come to the county town. , most people wouldn’t pay too much attention to it.
If the owner of this store wasn’t so powerful, I’m afraid Mu Xiaoliu might not have thought of this, and would most likely choose to ignore it.
"Boss, I'm full. The noodles you made are delicious. "Mu Xiaoliu left the money and got up and left.
"Come here often when you have time. "The boss looked at Mu Xiaoliu's back and shouted.
"Strange, why do you feel there is something weird about this boy? ! Forget it, it’s none of my business! "The boss shook his head and started to clear the dishes on the table.
Mu Xiaoliu continued to inquire about the situation, and it was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that he came to the teahouse to meet up.
What Mu Xiaoliu didn't expect was that Jiang Cheng didn't arrive in time.
"This guy is actually late, will something happen? ! "Mu Xiaoliu was a little worried, afraid that Jiang Cheng might be in trouble.
I wanted to go find the other party, but I was afraid that the other party would come over and not find him, and then go look for him again. But that's trouble.
"Waiting for him for a while, maybe he found some important news. "Mu Xiaoliu calmed down and waited quietly.
If you think about it carefully, if something happened to Jiangcheng, the county would probably not be so quiet. Therefore, he should be overthinking it.
< p>After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jiang Cheng finally appeared in sight, which made Mu Xiaoliu breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward.“You kid, you make me so worried. "Although Mu Xiaoliu's tone was blaming, it was full of concern.
"Sorry, I got some good news, so I was delayed for a while. Fortunately, you are waiting here. "Jiang Cheng explained, and was glad that Mu Xiaoliu didn't go looking for him.
"Okay, okay, let's leave the city first. It's not safe here. I also got some good news. "Mu Xiaoliu urged.
The two of them hurriedly left the county seat. After a hundred meters away from the county seat, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"What news did you find out? ! "Mu Xiaoliu asked.
"I found that the puppet soldiers in the Japanese army camp were not very simple. I saw many people wearing puppet army uniforms actually having trouble-free conversations with the Japanese soldiers.< /p>
The most important thing is that those puppet soldiers are not afraid of the Japanese at all. Therefore, I can confirm from these two points.
The extra puppet soldiers in the military camp can never be Puppet soldiers, but devils in disguise! "Jiang Cheng concluded after speaking.
Anyway, he had never seen the puppet soldier, so he could talk and laugh with the Japanese, and have seemingly barrier-free communication.
In addition, there is no puppet army that does not bow to the Japanese. It may not be necessary for one or two puppet army officers who are highly regarded.
But the ones he saw were all ordinary puppet soldiers. Why? Maybe he didn't have any fear when facing the Japanese.
"The information I found is almost the same as yours. Some time ago..." After hearing this, Mu Xiaoliu also immediately said. Share the news you know with Jiang Cheng.
“So, these groups of puppet troops are definitely not puppet troops, but devils! "Mu Xiaoliu also concluded in the end.
"It seems that the information we have found out is basically true. If we guessed correctly, the same may be said for several nearby counties. This situation! "Jiang Cheng said.
Fortunately, they observed carefully, otherwise they would have been deceived by the Japanese.
"Wait a minute, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the Japanese were killed ten days ago? We started making preparations. Is this to trick us? ! "Mu Xiaoliu reacted.
The Japs started making preparations ten days ago. The purpose was not to let them find out any information, but the Japs did not expect that Mu Xiaoliu and Jiang Cheng would still find out and question them.question.
"Well, it's very possible. I didn't expect the Japanese commander here to be so sinister. Fortunately, the battalion commander didn't let us attack the Japanese inspections and bunkers.
Otherwise, these The Japs will probably surround us immediately," Jiang Cheng said with a nod.
Although they are not afraid of the Japanese coming, but if they are suddenly caught off guard, there will be casualties, which will be a big problem.
"Yes, fortunately our battalion commander is more cautious and sees the problem." Mu Xiaoliu also said, if it were them who were in charge, they might have fallen into a trap.
"Let's go back and report the situation to the battalion commander." Jiang Cheng said.
After the two got into the woods, they started running.
At about 5:30 in the afternoon, they rushed back to the temporary camp and found Li Jin.
"You two have found out the news?!" Li Jin couldn't help but said when he saw this. The two of them were sweating profusely. It looked like they had run all the way back. It must be urgent information. , that’s why we are in such a hurry.
"Yes." Mu Xiaoliu nodded.
Li Jin didn't waste any time and immediately called several company commanders over.
"Tell me what you found." Li Jin motioned to the two of them to share the information.
"I'll go first." Mu Xiaoliu began to tell the information he had discovered.
Everyone frowned after hearing this, and then Jiang Cheng also told his information.
"Damn it, this little devil is so cunning. He started trapping us ten days in advance!" Liu Changshun couldn't help but curse.
"Now it is basically certain that the Japanese are waiting for us to attack the checkpoints and bunkers so that they can surround us." Zhao Ming also had a stern face.
His previous thought was to attack. Fortunately, the battalion commander was cautious and chose to explore more information about surrounding counties.
We found out now that the Japanese had set a trap for them.
"Battal Commander, what should we do now?! Should we leave, or should we find an opportunity to attack the Japanese?!" Zhao Ming continued.
He felt that since the little devils wanted to ambush them, they should make these devils pay a price and let the devils know that they are not so sinister.
"Since it's been determined, there's no need to say anything. Naturally, we have to teach the Japanese a lesson so that they will never dare to ambush us again!" Li Jin also said with a serious face.
He had to make the Japanese regret setting this trap.
