under fire

Xiao Hongying got up from the ground in a bad mood, and with a stern face, she angrily asked Da Gou in a low voice: "Are there any Japanese soldiers as cowardly as you...in the Imperial Army?"

The big dog climbed up and laughed in a low voice: "I have killed more devils than you can see. Anyone would lie down if there was a gunshot in the middle of the night..."

"Nonsense!" Under the faint moonlight, the little girl's childish face was full of contempt: "The first reaction of the Japanese when they were attacked was to shout loudly that they were attacked by the enemy...then they half-crouched and raised their guns to be on guard...the observers searched for the target..."

Listening to Xiao Hongying's lecturing tone, the angry big dog felt a surge of pent-up anger in his heart.

How could I be looked down upon by this little girl?

He opened his throat and howled towards the village entrance: "Damn it...who is...shooting...fucking hell..."

"That's the way it should be!" Seeing the angry look on Da Gou's face, Xiao Hongying gave a direct order to the "Imperial Army" behind him: "Now, spread out your troops, shout loudly and rush forward!"

"Onboard..."

“Kill the chicken…”

Village entrance.

The security forces who heard the warning shots were a little confused when they heard the cursing voices approaching Taijun.

"Oh no! The Imperial Army is charging towards us!"

"How about we run away?"

"Damn it, the Imperial Army is on the same side as us...Don't shoot..."

"Captain, the gunshots came from the east of the village. When Heisan came here, he told us to disguise ourselves as Taijun to defend against the Eighth Route Army." The third platoon leader reminded him anxiously.

"What if the ones coming here are really the Imperial Army?"

"Isn't this easy? This is a battlefield, and the Imperial Army has set rules. Isn't it enough to just ask for the command?"

"You are so smart!" Captain Ma looked at the imperial army rushing over and shouted loudly, "Who is it? Password!"

On a moonlit night, the dark shadows approaching the village immediately half-crouched and dispersed to be on guard after hearing the sound.

"May your military fortune last forever. Reply!" A stiff Chinese voice came from the opposite side, and then a flashlight was turned on, with the light shining on the wall at the edge of the village.

"Oh, they really know the password, they must be the Imperial Army." Captain Ma let out a long sigh, then stood in a conspicuous place from his hiding place and shouted loudly: "Long live the Imperial Army. Don't shoot, we are the Imperial Army, hello, Madam!"

The flashlight stopped on Captain Ma.

"Damn it! Who's shooting?" Dagou tried to hold his voice, came to the opposite side of Captain Ma at the village entrance, and then raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

Then he asked, "Who is your...?"

"I'm Ma Gan, the company commander of the first battalion of the second battalion of the third regiment of the Luxi Autonomous Brigade!" Company commander Ma was so nervous that he answered directly by his nickname.

This guy is as strong as a fat pig, and his name is actually Ma Gan. Da Gou is speechless.

Seeing that Taijun didn't say anything after slapping him, Captain Ma was sweating profusely and didn't dare to say anything.

Is this fair?

I was sticking to my duties, but I got slapped in the face. On what basis did I get that?

There's nothing I can do. Taijun just likes slapping people.

They are getting so anxious that they even beat their own people

I saw someone make a mistake and cut open his belly with a knife

The Imperial Army has a messy personality, so I dare not comment on it.

Captain Ma then discovered that the incoming imperial troops were trying to seize the high ground.

Professional, really professional!

Even if you know you are in front of your own people, you still need to seize the tactical high point according to tactical requirements.

After a while, the tall and strong lady standing in front of him seemed to notice that he was looking up, down, left and right, and finally spoke: "Your... hard-working Etskanisama"

The whole play is played out, with the big dog's broken Chinese and broken bird language.

He even bowed to Captain Ma, who had just been slapped by him, for the first time.

I often hear Taijun say the last sentence, which means thank you for your hard work...

He nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's not hard... It's not Etsikanishama"

"Surrender your guns and you won't be killed!" Xiao Hongying at the back gave the order without any further ado.

The big dog bit his lip and said, "Can't you just let me pretend for a while?"

"There are security forces in the east and west of the village. I have sent someone to notify Fox to come quickly and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Xiao Hongying said calmly, "Then find out the enemy's deployment."

The traffic officer from the sub-district ran out of the village and said: "This village is one of our sub-district bases. I just asked a puppet soldier, and he said that before the Japanese swept here, the sub-district had already moved the villagers away."

Hearing this, Xiao Hongying was in a good mood: "In other words, this is the last blockade line set up by the security army. We will be safe if we cross this blockade line to the north." Da Gou frowned and looked disappointed: "Breaking through the encirclement of the devils, this is too easy, isn't it?"

The traffic officer of the division warned: "Don't be careless, there are Japanese soldiers behind us, and the north is still an enemy-occupied area, and there are traitors and detectives everywhere..."

Big Dog frowned and said, "Commander Hu said we should intervene. We can't just leave like this!"

The traffic officer interjected: "The damn Japanese occupied these places and operated them for many years. Every time they raided, they faced small guerrillas, so the troops deployed in the raid were not the main combat troops. It would be a good idea to take a few bites of them in the dark..."

The big dog turned around and looked at the security army captain Ma who was squatting at the foot of the wall: "Tell me, the number of the devils, and the deployment of the security army's troops."

Captain Ma quickly stood up and said, "Report to Master Ba, our regiment has three battalions and ten companies, and they are spread out along this line from east to west."

"The devil's unit number!"

"The 59th Division of the North China Front Army was in charge of this raid. We followed Hirose Toshiyoshi's battalion. I don't know anything else." Captain Ma had no intention of hiding anything. If he didn't say it, his subordinates would tell it anyway...

Xiao Hongying suddenly asked Captain Ma, "Where are the people you relocated?"

Captain Ma looked bewildered: "People? We set out overnight after receiving the order. I didn't hear that they were going to relocate the people here."

Xiao Hongying frowned: "Could it be that the intelligence we received is wrong?"

Captain Ma was stunned for a moment, then explained kindly: "I remember now, I heard that the security group organized a group of civilians to move here to replace the people near the canal, but..."

Xiao Hongying asked: "But what?"

"The villagers near the canal died in the whole village, no one dared to come here." Captain Ma lowered his voice and said, "Also, the Japanese in the Imperial Army issued a strict order that no one is allowed to drink raw water. So everyone is guessing that the Japanese must have poisoned the canal... We are all from the same village, and we can't bear to let them die even if it means breaking bones and tendons, right?"

"Then why do you dare to come?"

"Put on this leather, you have to come..."

Xiao Hongying didn't ask any questions, but just thought silently.

After breaking through the Japanese blockade, they obtained the Japanese puppet army's password from a captured security army messenger.

But no more useful information was obtained.

The devils are throwing tiger lira into the canal...

But why did the Japanese still take the risk to raid the areas where the bacteria were dropped?

It shouldn't be worth it for the Japanese to take such a big risk just to restore canal transportation. There must be other purposes.

The Ninth Battalion crossed the canal to the east to open up the traffic line and the Japanese restored the north-south transportation route, both of which were related to transportation.

It may also be that the railways were often destroyed, so the Japanese tried to reopen the canal transportation line.

I have no idea for the time being.

“…Take him to a yard in the village and keep him there. If he dares to try to be smart, I’ll execute him on the spot!” Feeling that the interrogation was almost over, Da Gou gave an order to the soldier next to him.

After Captain Ma was taken away, Xiao Hongying suddenly said to Da Gou, "I... have a question."

The big dog instinctively thought that Xiao Hongying had discovered something.

He quickly turned around and waited for Xiao Hongying's question.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hongying's question was: "The Japanese threw cholera into the canal and dug up the river bank on the west bank of the canal. Their goal is to kill everyone along the canal! To ensure smooth traffic along the canal!"

The big dog looked at Xiao Hongying as if she were an idiot for a while, then walked out the door without looking back and said, "It's obvious that there are lice on a bald man's head. How can this be considered a problem?"

"The infiltration plan has to change. Let's leave here first!" Xiao Hongying did not argue with Dagou. There were a large number of Japanese soldiers chasing them from behind. Now they were facing not only the danger of being surrounded by the Japanese and puppet troops.

She felt that the Japanese dared to raid the village where nine out of ten houses were empty, there must be some reason that the Ninth Battalion didn't know about... (End of this chapter)
