under fire

Chapter 664

Liang Sansi was in a very depressed mood, and Taijun asked him to lead the way to the Kuomintang-controlled area in the west overnight.

Before departure, the captain of the gendarmerie made a special trip to explain that this time he was going to negotiate with a certain important person.

Accompanying him was a middle-aged man named Tanaka Xiong.

The two set off during the day, took a half-day car ride, and passed the battle zone where the imperial army and the national army were confronted at night.

Under the leadership of Tian Zhongxiong, they carefully avoided the national army patrols and secret sentries, and the two did not dare to stay at the foot of the mountain.

Taking advantage of the dark night, he sneaked into the mountain even after groping and climbing. The physical strength of this surnamed Tian was so damn good that he had to travel all night.

Walking so fast, there should be plenty of time to calculate, and it will definitely be no problem to arrive at the destination the next day.

Liang Sansi was a little nervous, this trip was going to talk to a certain important person, and he still couldn't figure out why he had to follow him.

And he seemed to be unable to keep up with the middle-aged man in front of him. He was short and strong, his legs were not long, and there was nothing special about him, but he ran very fast.

Along the way, there wasn't much conversation between the two of them, so they negotiated with him on their own?what a big deal
The matter arranged by the imperial army cannot be delayed. Liang Sansi is a smart person, so naturally he would not ask too many questions.

The mountains in the dark night, the cliffs, even though it was very dangerous to travel at night, the two still climbed up the mountain with torches.

Liang Sansi raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. He was full of exhaustion and sleepiness, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead. He had never walked such a long distance in one breath.

Seeing the dwarf in front kept walking with a torch, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and had to stop to catch his breath.

Tanaka Xiong, who was walking in front, was dressed as a peddler, leaning on a root in his hand to break off a small tree trunk from the side of the road. Seeing that Liang Sansi stopped behind him, he had to stop, turned his head and whispered impatiently: "Mr. Liang, can you faster?"

"Oh, brother Tian, ​​I'm really bored, why don't we go to the village ahead to rest for a while before we go?"

Tian Zhongxiong looked around, and then looked up at the front: "If you can't make it to your destination before dark tomorrow, you and I won't be able to bear the responsibility if we miss something."

"It's not far away. There's enough time. Why don't we go to the village in front of us to rest for a night, and when we regain our strength, we'll be there in the afternoon if we walk faster tomorrow."

Tanaka Xiong saw that this man was really weak, and said helplessly, "That's okay, we can't just stay in this barren mountain and wilderness, just go to the village in front of you to rest, and continue on our way at dawn tomorrow."

The road up the mountain was narrow and steep. A rock on the road was a little loose due to the drought, and Liang Sansi stepped on it and rolled straight down the valley. There was a rumbling sound for a long time, which made Liang Sansi's legs tremble.

He swore secretly in his heart that if he had such an errand in the future, he would not be able to do it even if he was killed. Now that he has so much money in his hands, it is not worthwhile to send his life in this mountain.

The two hurried and hurried, and finally they were about to reach the village where Liang Sansi had been.

The mountain road finally became gentle, and under the looming starlight, there was still a faint light in the village in the dark night.

There was a sudden sound of dog barking, which startled the two of them.

Tanaka Xiong didn't care, and continued to move forward along the road outside the village with a torch.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a sudden rattling sound from the pile of firewood in the middle, and a black figure appeared.

After the big dog rolled out a bundle of firewood, he was still hiding in the darkness, and carefully looked at the two men in gray with torches on the opposite side: "What are you doing?"

"Hey, we belong to the New Fifth Army, which part are you?" General Tian Zhongxiong had already thought out his speech.

When the big dog heard that the other party belonged to the Fifth Army, he immediately became angry: "Us? I belong to the Forty Army. What are you doing here?"

Tian Zhongxiong lowered the muzzle of the gun, and with a torch in one hand, he walked slowly towards Tang Dagou in the dark night, until the flames illuminated the opponent's attire, and then shouted to Liang Sansi behind: "It's my own."

The big dog was worried that the other party would ask for the password, so he hurriedly asked again: "What the hell are you doing in our defense area in the middle of the night?"

Tian Sanxiong looked at Tang Dagou carefully, and put away the pistol: "We have something important to rush back to Lingchuan, so we took a shortcut. My surname is Tian, ​​what do you call my brother?"

Tang Dagou didn't let down his vigilance: "My surname is Tang, why don't you have a radio station? Why do you have to run errands yourself?"

"There is an important situation analysis, how can I explain clearly in the telegram, so."

The big dog is not interested in talking nonsense with them: "Uh, then hurry up and go!"

Tanaka Xiong was about to speak, but was pulled by Liang Sansi, Tanaka Xiong hesitated: "Brother, we are indeed a little tired, look. Can you arrange a place for us to rest?"

Tang Dagou was stunned for a moment: I have so many people, but I couldn't find a place to live in this dilapidated village. You two bastards can really think about it, but I can't tell them about this matter!
Thinking of this: "This place has been requisitioned by us, hurry up and get out."

Liang Sansi and Tian Zhongxiong looked at each other, and they had to continue walking up the mountain with torches.

The figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Minister Zhang stood beside the small temple, quietly looking at the torches in the distance, a little absent-minded.

Hu Yi next to him suddenly asked: "Is there a problem?"

Minister Zhang hesitated for a moment: "I always feel that something is wrong, but I don't know what is wrong."

"It's just two soldiers, what's wrong?"

"Go back and talk."

In the ruined temple, Minister Zhang pointed to the map: "If they are really members of the Fifth Army, they can just go straight to the plains. Why do they have to take the risk of taking the mountain road in the middle of the night?"

Hu Yi frowned deeply, and said to Minister Zhang in a deep voice, "It should be an intelligence officer!"

"What? Why do you say that?" Minister Zhang turned his head, puzzled.

Hu Yi thought for a while: "According to the habits of the national army, the people who can analyze the situation will definitely not be low-level officers, so most of the escorts will be in squads, and they are just two people going over mountains and mountains in the middle of the night. , which is unreasonable."

Minister Zhang nodded: "This is the Kuomintang-controlled area. They don't use the radio, maybe they are afraid of being intercepted by the devils, so let's not meddle in our own business."

"You didn't understand what I meant. I think they might be spies of the devil."

Minister Zhang was stunned for a moment: "No, they still want to spend the night in the village?"

"If they don't stay overnight, it will arouse our suspicion. According to the regulations, when a strange team meets, there should be the most basic identification friend or foe password?"

"Forget it, we can't control that wide. The people in the military command are not vegetarians. The situation here is complicated. We have to hurry tomorrow and find a way to cross the blockade. Let's rest early."

in the dark.

Ma Liang was woken up by someone: "Brother, why are you here?"

"Go to the temple and sleep for a while, and I will watch in the second half of the night."

"No, Li Xiang and I will take turns watching..." Ma Liang tightened the marching blanket.

"Hurry up, call Li Xiang to go back together."

"No, I've been watching." Li Xiang's voice came from the darkness.

Ma Liang didn't move: "Brother, what happened to those two people just now?"

Hu Yi lowered his voice: "Don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with us."

Ma Liang sat up and asked tentatively, "Did you do anything at the headquarters during the day?"

In the darkness, Hu Yi was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Ma Liang said proudly: "Aside from you, who else can shoot a shell gun like a machine gun?"

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "The sound of the shell gun. It's so far away. Can you hear it too?!"

"Anyway, I haven't seen anyone who can shoot a shell gun like a machine gun, all in three bursts?"

"Don't talk nonsense, go back quickly."

"Brother, I always feel that this exchange seems not easy."

"Don't think too much, some things are not our turn to worry about."
