The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1901: The Young Man Leaks Secrets

Zhao Tieying, Zhao Mingxuan and their men rushed to the top of the mound, and naturally they saw the same scene that Fan Tongzuo had seen before.

How could they not see that the Japanese and puppet troops were conscripting young men? But the important thing was that Fan Tongzuo, whom they cared more about, was missing.

"Hey, where did this bastard go?" A soldier lying on the top of the hill was muttering to himself.

But at this time, Zhao Tieying and Zhao Mingxuan reacted almost at the same time.

"Find each able-bodied man for me!" Zhao Tieying ordered.

Now the Japanese and puppet troops in the front are escorting the able-bodied men, and they are like a string of people tied together with ropes. They have formed a long string, and there are at least hundreds of men.

Zhao Tieying judged that since Fan Tongzuo had just run down from the top of the mountain, it was impossible for the Japanese and puppet troops not to have seen him.

Since they couldn't see Fan Tongzuo's body in front of them and didn't hear any gunshots, there was only one possibility, that was that the damn Fan Tongzuo actually volunteered to be a soldier!

Otherwise, if he continued to run away like that, even if he wanted to join the puppet army, how could the Japanese and puppet troops accept him?

"You really underestimated this bastard. It's so stupid!" a soldier cursed in a low voice.

But before he finished speaking, Zhao Mingxuan whispered, "Be careful to hide!"

But they have to pay attention to concealment, because now they are less than a hundred meters away from the leading Japanese troops walking on the road!

  Once they are discovered by the Japanese puppet army and a firefight breaks out, it will be problematic for these dozens of people to escape unscathed!

This is not an exaggeration. They can see now that there are dozens of Japanese troops and nearly a hundred puppet troops.

The small hill where they are hiding now is covered with wormwood and bushes. As long as they raise their heads a little higher, they will be discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops ahead!

  How could it be so easy to find Fan Tongzuo in a team of hundreds of people?

In order to prevent the able-bodied men from escaping, puppet soldiers led the way in front. The able-bodied men were strung together into several long lines and walked in the middle of the road. There were also Japanese and puppet soldiers walking with guns on both sides of the road.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the other side of the road would be fine, but the Japanese and puppet troops on this side of the hill would block the able-bodied men.

The soldiers were carefully looking for Fan Tongzuo. Zhao Mingxuan had already whispered to Zhao Tieying: "Captain, are you still going to catch that bastard? If we start a fight——"

Zhao Mingxuan didn't finish his words, but Zhao Tieying certainly understood what Zhao Mingxuan meant.

If a fight really broke out, the dozens of them would not be a match for so many Japanese and puppet troops below.

But to Zhao Mingxuan's surprise, Zhao Tieying answered very straightforwardly: "Fortune and honor are sought in danger!"

Apparently, when he was considering whether he could attack this Japanese and puppet army and capture Fan Tongzuo, the regiment commander Zhao Tieying had already thought about this issue.

  Zhao Mingxuan has been following Zhao Tieying since the Northeast. Of course, he knows Zhao Tieying's temper. He is firm in what he says and no one is allowed to refute!

Since Zhao Tieying has determined that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk, then he can only wait for the opportunity. So let's keep looking, and then start fighting!

At this moment, a soldier whispered, "See that bastard! That bastard is at the back!"

Upon hearing what the soldiers said, Zhao Tieying and his companions naturally turned their gazes to the back of the team of able-bodied men below.

And in that instant, they really saw Fan Tongzuo at the end of the team!

Fan Tongzuo has been tied together with those able-bodied men by the Japanese and puppet troops, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Fan Tongzuo is not wearing the military uniform he wore before.

Fan Tongzuo was from the Security Division, and it had only been a few days since he followed Wu Ziqi to Shangzhenying? Therefore, he had never obtained the uniform of the Northeast Army, and he had always been wearing the shirt of the Security Division.

Yes, it was just a shirt, and he wore ordinary pants underneath, and the shoes were also the same kind of loafers with thousand-layer soles that ordinary people wear.

As for why Fan Tongzuo didn't wear a full set? There's no reason for that.

The Security Division in Shandong was originally a part of the Northwest Army, and was a local armed force formed by recruiting some ruffians and idlers in Shandong.

In terms of family background, they couldn't even compare to the Northeast Army that had left their hometown for almost ten years.

But the Northeast Army’s skinny camels are bigger than horses. Even though their uniforms are torn, they still have something to wear.

But what about the security division? When it was first established, some soldiers only got a piece of clothing, like Fan Tongzuo.

  As for wearing a white shirt underneath the clothes, that's impossible!

It's good enough to pursue uniformity in one shirt, but there are all kinds of people wearing singlets and even shirtless. So, after Fan Tongzuo ran down the hill and took off his military uniform, he was just an ordinary citizen, and an especially wretched one at that. Who would think he was a soldier?

It was precisely because he changed the color of his clothes that Zhao Tieying and the others did not discover him at the first time.

  At this point, all the people led by Zhao Tieying suddenly realized that the bastard must be at the end of the team, right?

He volunteered to be a soldier. People in the front were already tied up with ropes, so how could they tie him in the middle? Shouldn't they tie him at the end?

"Stay hidden, everyone obey my orders.

Wait until that bastard gets closest to us and then start fighting.

Changshengzi, you take a few people to watch over the Japanese soldiers and traitors in front, and we will be responsible for fighting the ones behind you.

  After the fight started, Mingxuan was responsible for leading a few people to rush down and bring that bastard back to me!

Don't be afraid, everyone. Even though the Japs have a lot of people, we have a lot of box guns. Don't be afraid of them at such a close distance.

As long as we catch that bastard, everyone will get a reward!"

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Zhao Tieying was able to become a regiment leader, so he naturally has his own unique qualities. You can say that he is brave, or you can say that he has the personality of a gambler.

But, can Zhao Tieying’s plan really be implemented?

Next, just when they pulled the bolt of their guns and were ready to snatch Fan Tongzuo back, their plan was directly destroyed by others.

Who is that person? Who else could it be except Fan Tongzuo?

Zhao Tieying and his men had been searching for Fan Tongzuo on the top of the hill, but Fan Tongzuo had also been paying attention to their movements.

“You can cure the wound in front of you but you may cut out the flesh in your heart”, which can be expressed as “drinking poison to quench thirst”.

  Did Fan Tongzuo ever want to be a soldier?

He was also forced into a corner by Zhao Tieying!

  No matter whether they are Japanese troops or puppet troops, at least someone wants to rob able-bodied men, and we can’t just sit back and watch!

As for Fan Tongzuo's impression of people from the Northeast, apart from the time he met people from the Northeast like Zhao Tieying, he mostly listened to Wu Ziqi's nonsense.

  Wu Ziqi was also not well educated. When he was talking to Fan Tongzuo about the Northeast Army where he used to be, he used a word that left a deep impression on Fan Tongzuo. That word was "tiger whistle"!

No one knows how to write the tiger whistle, whether it is a copper whistle, iron whistle or gold whistle, but it does have the meaning of being daring and doing something.

  When Wu Ziqi was talking to him about the veterans under Shang Zhen, he said that there was nothing those fierce whistles dared not do!

Fan Tongzuo remembered this word.

So he also felt that as people from the Northeast, these guys with hooked noses would not do anything that a tiger-whistle like them would not dare to do!

What if I became a soldier? God knows whether those people will ambush the Japanese and puppet troops and then take me back.

In the queue, he had been aiming at the hill.

The Japanese and puppet troops did not know there was an ambush here so they walked over in a swagger, but Fan Tongzuo knew there must be one.

Fan Tongzuo, a man with a keen eye, had been observing this small mound of not very high. Because of his keen eye, he naturally saw a human head among the weeds.

So, when he got closer to the mound, before Zhao Tieying on the hill gave the order to shoot, he shouted: "There are Eighth Route Army soldiers over there!"

Fan Tongzuo wanted to say that the Northeast Army was there, but he was afraid that the Japanese soldiers who were conscripting men would not understand what the Northeast Army was. However, the "Eighth Route Army" Japanese soldiers would definitely understand.

He suddenly let out a roar, raised his hands that were tied with ropes and pointed towards the hill.

Sure enough, the Northeastern Japanese Army did not understand, but the Eighth Route Army did.

When they saw Fan Tongzuo raising his tied hands and pointing at the mound, the Japanese and puppet troops immediately discovered the abnormality of the hill.

Then suddenly there was a gunshot and the bullet hit the mound directly.

  "Damn it!" Zhao Tieying was so angry that he cursed harshly. His ambush plan hadn't even been implemented yet, but it was leaked by that bastard!

What the hell! Without the advantage of surprise attack, he really can't do anything with such a small number of people!

"Retreat quickly!" Zhao Tieying said helplessly.
