Chapter 966 Intelligence Expert
The lieutenant of the advancing team who arrived by car arranged an elite squad into the mountain according to the Chongxin plan, and the other Japanese left at the railway station to stand by.
Shortly after dark.
The elite Japanese squad, who had only slept for about two hours, was led by a second lieutenant. He did not care about his fatigue and changed into the Eighth Route Army uniform and followed Chongxin with special weapons and equipment.
A team of nearly twenty people quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The mountain road is rugged, dark, and thin mist. It travels very slowly. The flashlight covered with black cloth illuminates a very small area and does not reveal its whereabouts.
But every step forward has to be careful, which is really uncomfortable. When the moon is dark and windy, I feel a little inexplicably panic when I am used to the strong wind and waves.
Almost no one spoke in the team except for the sound of footsteps.
An intelligence officer and a ghost acted as scouts in front, observing the marks on the mountain wall next to the mountain stream path from time to time.
Soon, the mountain road ahead suddenly became steep and upward.
The team stopped by the cliff.
Chongxin, who followed, looked up at the darkness of the mountains, and the vanguard lowered his voice: "There are guard posts set up by the enemy on the hillside..."
Chongxin was silent for a while and immediately ordered the Japanese behind him: "Be sure to clear the enemy's posts carefully, please."
Soon, the three Japanese soldiers, led by the military commander, used them to touch the mountainside in the dark.
The mountain wind whistled and whistled, covering up the sound of footsteps.
The steep mountain path turns west halfway up the mountain, looking from above, you can see it completely.
Maybe it's because I've been safe for a long time, maybe it's because I feel it's easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the defense is a bit slack.
The eyeliner placed at the foot of the mountain had already lit the fire, but the mist on the mountain was shrouded in the mountains and the guard post was not noticed.
There is a small flat land at the bend of the mountain road. A low and simple shack is set against the wall. In the shack, several soldiers were wearing clothes and guns, wrapped in dirty quilts, and sleeping soundly by the fire.
Outside the shack, opposite the mountain road below, among the simple fortifications made of stones, three soldiers looked at the trains passing by occasionally on the plain in the distance and said a few words from time to time, but they did not see the warning fire looming at the mountain pass.
"…I don't know when the Japanese will be able to run away. Let's go back to our hometown in Heishan Baishui."
"I have fought with the Japanese for more than ten years, and the Japanese have occupied more and more places. I think I may not wait until that day in my lifetime."
"You can't say that. Isn't the young coach okay now? Maybe one day he can take us back."
"Stop dreaming, the young marshal himself is unable to protect himself now..."
"I'll be furious when I say this, I won't talk about this anymore... Alas, those who transport opium were not here today, and in my opinion, they will come tomorrow."
"He can only go our path now, and he can't afford to buy a single money..."
"Last time they promised to send us two baskets of roast chicken, maybe everyone will be able to have a tooth-beating ceremony tomorrow."
"You know how to eat."
"I always feel that something is wrong. The Eighth Route Army just passed, and these guys followed and said they wanted to deliver goods to the west. Will it be..."
"Don't worry about him, we should collect money. If anyone makes a mess, I will tell him that he will never come back..."
"I heard from the regiment commander that the Japanese in the south have taken action against the New Fifth Army Defense Zone."
"Yes, the Japanese are clearly going to attack us this time. We have not been moved yet, which is unreasonable."
"Come on, wouldn't it be better if the Japanese don't come? Besides, it's easy to defend but difficult to attack. Most Japanese people plan to pick up soft persimmons first, use Sun's surname to start the operation, and finally get our turn."
"Last year, the Eighth Route Headquarters hidden in the mountains were all taken over by the Japanese. How could the Japanese be more fond of us?"
"I heard that it was the Japanese advancing team who found the Eighth Route Headquarters in advance and then took it all in one fell swoop."
"No matter what he advances into the team, no one here can think of going here tonight..."
"You two are watching first, I'll sniff for a while, and call me later..."
These three people didn't pay any attention, just on the mountain road not far from their noses.
The two black shadows moved upward like geckos against the mountain road.
The railway line in the distance was again, and in a hazy dimness, another train rumbled and roared southward.
The two soldiers looked bored and dazed in the distance, not knowing whether they were thinking about home or something else.
In the darkness outside the simple fortification, two black shadows suddenly appeared, and they were still stunned and even forgot to shoot and warn.
The loaded rifle was right next to it, but unfortunately, they never had the chance to put their fingers into the trigger hole again.
The sound of the bayonet entering the flesh, the two of them shook their bodies for a moment, and their bodies quickly became twitching.
"Be careful..." The black shadow was skillful in movements, covering his mouth and stabbing the knife in one go. Even so, the movement was not small.
The man lying in the ditch naturally heard the noise, and he muttered subconsciously: "Can you be quieter..."
As soon as the words were finished, a black shadow pounced on him and his hands tightly grabbed his neck.
With a crisp sound of bones, the one who slept no longer moved.
Another black shadow appeared below, and one was alert. Two darknesses were against the mountain walls, moving quickly towards the shack with caution.
A scream finally rang out in the shack, and soon the scream stopped abruptly.
The faint flashlight swayed down the mountainside, and the three night owls cries blew away.
A large group of black shadows began to climb upwards.
Most of the defenders lived in mountain villages, and the mountain pass usually only arranged one shift to watch. Perhaps, it was not a strategic location, and the patrol density arranged was not high.
The movement of the ground on the mountainside was not small, but no one noticed that anyone had touched it in the dark.
Chongxin had no interest in copycats, and after leaving behind the people who were left to guard the rear, the team quickly left.
The two leading Japanese vanguards suddenly stopped: "I seem to smell the smell of blood..."
"I smelled it too, probably not far away, be careful..."
One groped forward carefully, the other was guarding with a gun behind.
Soon, I saw the naked body on the mountain road.
"It seems that an animal has been bitten... It's Takahashi-kun..." The man from the SEK class who was squatting on the ground put away the flashlight and his face turned pale: "The death should be two hours ago."
Soon, Chongxin followed, and the man on the ground stood up and bowed: "Chunxinjun, Takahashi Jun's jade is broken."
"See if there are any traps."
"Yes..." The man who had just gotten up immediately checked carefully and after a while, he stood up to report: "There is a grenade hidden under the body..."
"Don't move the corpse first, and notify the engineer to come and deal with it." Chongxin forced himself to calm down. It seemed that this group of Eighth Route Army was not simple!
However, in the eyes of experts from the intelligence department, they are all small means that they cannot be put on the table.
If he can kill his warriors, there are definitely people in the Eighth Route Army who have good kung fu, which makes him be careful.
Chongxin thought quickly in his mind. He believed that even if his subordinates died, they would not reveal their plans.
The Chinese who entered the mountain with his subordinates did not care about the life or death of the Chinese, because they should not know much.
And now, there are no footprints of him on the ground!
Therefore, it is highly likely that he has become a corpse and was pushed down a cliff by the Eighth Route Army.
After thinking for a while, he finally judged that the Eighth Route Army might know that the Imperial Army discovered that some of them were targeted.
However, it is normal for the Imperial Army to clear out the Eighth Route Army.
He proposed that the headquarters deliberately let the Eighth Route Army leave, but he didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would dare to attack the Imperial Army Railway Station, which made him unbearable.
Now, he has no way out. Regardless of whether there is anyone tracking the Tujiao Route Army or not, he has to chase it now, otherwise he will not be able to give an explanation to the headquarters.
I only caught a few peripheral soldiers and shrimps, and I guess I couldn't find any valuable information at all, and I was really unwilling to accept it.
The time was not long, and the second lieutenant from behind arrived: "The radio was just started, and the headquarters announced the latest news that this afternoon, the enemy's new Fifth Army headquarters had surrendered to the Imperial Army, but some grassroots officers and soldiers in the army mutiny and are suppressing it!"
Chongxin's eyes lit up: "Map!"
The second lieutenant pulled out the map, and the subordinates next to him quickly turned on the flashlight.
The second lieutenant pointed to the map: "This is where we are now. There is a hilly area in the north of the front. There should be an imperial army. We can ask them to send an army to block the Eighth Route Army."
Chongxin shook his head: "Please don't take your own initiative. This plan is not to wipe out them, but to track down the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army through this group of Eighth Route Army."
The second lieutenant bowed quickly: "I am stupid."
"Put the body into a body bag and hide it, and notify the people at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain... and encircle the team stationed in the mountain village and occupy the mountain village." Chongxin, who was used to life and death, did not hesitate anymore, and ordered the soldiers who acted as scouts, and said: "Continue to move forward."
The moon was unaware of when it was coming out.
