Rise from the sword

Chapter 197 Information and Darkness under the Lamp
In the early morning, the sky was overcast.

Jiao County, a mountain forest thirty miles to the north.

Ding Wei squatted halfway, hiding in the bushes, raising his binoculars to look at the Japanese gun towers in the distance.

From the outside, this is a medium-sized blockhouse with searchlights on the top floor. There are two devils carrying rifles patrolling outside. There is a circle of barbed wire and deep trenches around the blockhouse. At this distance, through the telescope, one can vaguely see a The extended telephone wires, the series of poles are very conspicuous.

"Bring over the information."

After watching for a while, Ding Wei put down the binoculars in his hand, and reached out to the guard at the side.

The guards he brought from the new group took out a document barrel from his bag, unscrewed the lid, took out a thick stack of documents from the barrel, and handed over a dozen of them to Ding Wei.

Ding Wei looked down at the information in his hand.

At first, he looked carefully, but as he flipped through the pages one by one, his expression gradually revealed shock, which gradually became stronger and stronger, and finally even turned into horror, with a stunned expression on his face.

The guard on the side looked at his head curiously.

Ever since he started following Ding Wei, it was the first time he saw the expression of his regiment leader. Back then, even if he was new to the new regiment, he was not so surprised to see the batch of weapons and ammunition left by Li Yunlong.

This is already shocking!
What exactly is written in the information provided by Li Yunlong?
"Who is it?"

Ding Wei shook his head, his tone full of exclamation:
"Such detailed information can be obtained."

"Great!"

What intelligence, what who?Isn't this given by Li Yunlong? ·····Ding Wei didn't wait for the guards to ask curiously, Ding Wei looked at the pocket watch "given" by the little devil in his hand, and continued:

"Communications, order the troops to rest in place for an hour, and take the mountain road on the left after an hour."

"Yes."

The signal soldiers who had been waiting behind quickly ran to the large army hidden behind.

"Captain."

The guard raised his own doubts: "Two hours later, it will be almost breakfast time, and the weather will not rain today, so let's walk over in front of the devil like this?"

In the distance is the devil's gun tower. Although the mountain road on the left is relatively hidden, but the two battalions walked past, and the devil is very likely to find it standing in the gun tower. Is it really okay to go directly like this?

Although the turret is not big, there are at most [-] devils in it, and Ding Wei, who holds two battalions in his hand, can eat these devils in one bite, but it will be exposed, and the subsequent tasks cannot be carried out. what.

"Things are different."

Ding Wei clapped the intelligence information in his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "There are only three devils in the blockhouse in front of us now."

"Only three?"

The guard looked at the turret on one side in disbelief, and pointed to the two patrolling devils outside the turret: "How can there be only three devils in such a big turret? This is impossible!"

"Now there are two outside, and there must be at least a dozen inside!"

"Ha ha····"

Ding Wei smiled: "Now the devils are aggressively attacking the base area, and the devils are severely understrength. This is only a peripheral guard tower, so half of the devils in the squad have been transferred to the Huting stronghold. Now there are only three devils left. That's all."

"Even the puppet army was transferred to Jiao County."

"So it is."

The guard was stunned, and then he reacted, and asked suspiciously: "No, this is just your guess. What if the devil is still inside? We will have a big problem if we pass by like this."

"Can you rely on guesswork for things like war?"

Ding Wei glared at himself, the young guard, and patted him with a stack of documents in his hand: "I tell you to learn more cultural knowledge, otherwise you won't be able to understand any information."

"Wait an hour and you'll find out."

"Oh···"

The guard touched his head: "Okay."

At this moment when the guards were in a daze, the two devils outside seemed to feel cold, and disappeared into the gun tower with a swipe. One devil even left his gun against the side wall.

The guards watched for a long time, but they didn't see the devil come out again.

"This···"

He stared dumbfounded at the gun tower in the distance: "This, the devil is too..."

It was the first time he had seen such a careless devil.

In the past, the devils in the Shouxian base area were ghosts and ghosts, and the gun tower was guarded by more than three devils 24 hours a day.

This kind of devil's turret, if he didn't come to pull out the turret this time, he would be able to kill the turret with a few people, and maybe he could use a single bullet for a lot of money, just use a knife.

"Humph."

Ding Wei sneered disdainfully: "The little devils here are used to being arrogant. They have not been beaten by our guerrillas. They have forgotten that this is someone else's territory, otherwise they would not dare to divide the troops."

There are no active guerrilla groups near Jiao County, and there is no base area, which is the main reason why the devils rushed to mobilize their troops.

"Captain, you learned this sentence from Captain Li, right?"

The guard smiled.

When his team leader was chatting with Li Yunlong before, he heard the same sentence on the sidelines.

"Hahaha···"

Ding Wei laughed.

While the two were talking and laughing, two ghosts came out of the blockhouse together and walked towards the village beside them, holding bowls and chopsticks in their hands, while a ghost on the top floor came out yawning, took away and leaned against the side wall. The [-]-year-old Gai wobbled and yawned again and walked into the blockhouse, apparently planning to sleep.

"It's time, let's go."

Ding Wei looked at the pocket watch in his hand, the time was exactly one hour.

"Captain, how do you know that the devil will leave the gun tower?"

While the team was marching towards Jiao County along the hidden mountain path, the guard asked curiously.

"To the north of Shouxian County, 27 li away from the Yuanzhuang Paolou, [-] Japanese soldiers belonging to the [-]rd Squadron of the [-]nd Squadron of the Jiaoxian Police Brigade were stationed. Three days ago, this squad was transferred to the Huting stronghold to strengthen security, leaving only three Devils are guarding."

Ding Wei originally said the words in the intelligence materials:

"And the devils inside, every morning, go to the home of the big traitor Yuan Dazhu in Yuanzhuang to have dinner."

"This···"

The guard opened his mouth, dumbfounded.

He understood why his team leader was terrified before.

With this kind of detailed ghost information, the chances of winning a war can be doubled at least...
······
On the road near the Huting stronghold, at [-]:[-] am.

Clear sky.

The weak sunlight in winter can't penetrate the bone-chilling chill of Jindi. At this time, the loess ground is still a vast expanse of whiteness, and the dead branches and leaves are also covered with a layer of fine icicles.

chug chug...

A series of harsh and harsh sounds of inferior engines sounded.

On the mountain road.

Several motorcycles with plaster flags passed by in a line, and each motorcycle carried three devils, one devil was driving, one devil was holding a telescope to observe all around, and another devil was holding a crooked handlebar on the sidecar. The sub-machine gun is on alert.

Under the cold wind, the speed of the team is not fast.

The Devils seem to be very dedicated to their work. Occasionally, when the patrol convoy passes a corner or an area where people are suspected to be hiding, the machine gunner sitting on the sidecar will pull the trigger, and there will be a burst of clicking on the mountain.

The bullet hit the loess, stirring up a cloud of sand and dust.

Some devils even shoot at haystacks and other targets, and the grass clippings fly around.

However, none of the devils got out of the car to check on the spot, and groups of devils wandered around on the road all day.

"Pooh···"

Fang Ligong spat out the grass clippings in his mouth, then shook his head to shake off the dust on his head, and looked at the devil contemptuously, with an extremely disdainful tone: "The devil is nothing more than that, do you think you are serious about what you do?"

"No one is willing to go up the mountain to search on the spot."

What's the difference between this attitude of doing things, apart from weapons and equipment, and those miscellaneous troops?
And the action of the devil also made him somewhat understand what it means to be dark under the lights of the group seat.

Although this place is close to the line of fire, it is the hinterland of the Japanese army after all, and there is no suitable terrain for large troops to hide in. There are even two groups of troops attacking in the surrounding area.

Naturally, he didn't care about the so-called security inspections and was perfunctory.

"What bushido spirit? What elite warriors? I'm bah."

Fang Ligong finally curled his lips.

The devil's propaganda said that the soldiers of the Empire of Japan who were blessed with the spirit of bushido fought bravely and conscientiously. They were absolutely impossible to be negligent. They were the most elite soldiers. In the end, that's all.

"Don't think too much about the little devil."

"Fearless and elite veterans are two different things, and these second-line division devils are not as elite as the permanent division."

At the side, Chu Yunfei glanced at the leaving patrol team, and said in the same tone of disdain: "Devils are human beings, and they also have common shortcomings. There are still people in the Japanese army who take bucks harshly, take bribes and pervert the law..."

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei did not continue, but Fang Ligong understood what his group seat wanted to say next.

The devils may not be as powerful and elite as rumored, but in comparison, the beaten ones, who threw away their armor and retreated all the way, did even worse than the devils.

Some of the army in the government is almost rotten to the bone. The officers only know how to make money and eat empty pay. They don't care about fighting at all. What is it.

And the bigger problem is that many people know this problem, and all kinds of their own shortcomings are familiar, and they have affected the battle many times, but they just let it develop.

Otherwise, even if the equipment is inferior, it is impossible for the situation on the front line to deteriorate like that.

However, the two have discussed this topic many, many times, so there is no need to say more.

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued to talk about devils: "As for their so-called Bushido, it's nothing more than mental brainwashing of low-level soldiers. Few high-level generals believe in it."

"Tuanzao is right."

Fang Ligong took a wave of flattery.

"but···"

Chu Yunfei looked at the group of devil motorcycle patrols who had already left, squinted his eyes, and looked puzzled: "The actions of this group of little devils are really strange."

"strangeness?"

Fang Ligong was puzzled for a moment.

"Don't you think it's strange that these devils are patrolling here?"

Chu Yunfei looked at his adjutant: "Is it necessary to patrol and guard this place with such a big fanfare? They even used firepower for investigation, which is very rare for little devils."

After what Chu Yunfei said, Fang Ligong immediately realized:

"After you reminded me like this, the humble staff also felt strange."

"Although the devils are more abundant in weapons and ammunition than we are, they have always pursued a policy of precise shooting, and such extravagant and wasteful acts of fire detection are extremely rare."

"and···"

"This is a safe area for devils. It's close to the Huting stronghold, and it's not a supply channel. Why are you sending so many patrols?"

Generally speaking, even if it is the road that the convoy passes, the Japanese army will send a few forwards to detect whether there is an ambush, and will not repeatedly patrol like this.

This is not right.

"do not know···"

Chu Yunfei said in a deep tone: "However, this battle seems to be welcoming someone..."

In the established safe area, repeated security patrols are carried out, and the style is mainly based on form. Such a behavior pattern is very similar to the style before welcoming some important people.

But some places are not like...
For example, this place is really not suitable for hosting big people.

"The devil's big shot?"

Fang Ligong was thoughtful: "Could this be Li Yunlong's big fish?"

"Is it possible that Li Yunlong got the news that there will be a devil's headquarters here. Wasn't he the headquarters of Sakata who bombarded Cangyunling? Could it be that he wants to repeat the old trick?"

"You think Command will come to this place?"

Chu Yunfei's rhetorical question made Fang Ligong fall into deep thought.

That's right, this place is not where the Japanese Army Command should be.

The headquarters at the division level are in the rear, or they operate with heavy troops, and they usually stay in the county town. Even if they are stationed, they should be in the Huting stronghold. If you are directly in the army, you will not come here.

Just as Chu Yunfei was about to say something, suddenly another group of devils from the motorcycle patrol drove over here.

Da da da·····

The devil, who was uncharacteristically, seemed to be having a good time, shooting at the hillside from time to time. Judging from the movements and expressions of the devil, the patrol team seemed to be comparing shooting levels, and pointing around from time to time.

After the devil fired, several soldiers hidden in the grass were hit, but no one said anything, they just gritted their teeth and covered their wounds.

"Hygienist."

The platoon leader yelled in a low voice.

Then a hygienist with a medical bag on his back crawled over, took out a sandbag and wrapped the wound up.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong said to the company commanders around him:

"Go and inform the soldiers, no matter what happens, never reveal it, the devil's movement, the big fish is obviously behind."

"Yes."

Several company commanders were excited.

Those who were able to reach the company commander naturally had some sharp eyesight. After being reminded, they also saw something wrong in the devil's behavior, and they all began to gear up.

It feels like water splashes are starting to appear around the float...
　There is another chapter at 11 o'clock in the evening...
