Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Chapter 580 Turns out to be the fourth category

Another two little yellow croakers!

The eyeballs of the little devil in charge of the survey were about to fall off.

He originally thought that three pieces were the limit of harvest, but he didn't expect two more.

This is really a windfall.

He looked at the two gleaming little yellow croakers, and couldn't help but want to kiss them a few mouthfuls.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the staff officer's pocket, his eyes full of greed.

This guy is really rich.

How could the staff officer not understand this look, he patted his pocket: "No more, it's all in your hands."

The little devil in charge of the survey showed a look of regret, and then put the two little yellow croakers into his pocket.

"We have already talked about it before. The main purpose of these two incidents is supplies, not killing people to build power. If it is the Eighth Route Army, they will be more inclined to build power and will not deliberately clean up the scene."

"As far as I know, the Eighth Route Army troops are stationed in various villages, but there are no traces of wheels being crushed in the field near the supply station. That is to say, the vehicles left by road."

"However, within tens of kilometers on both sides of the entire Changlong Highway, no trace of the Eighth Route Army was found. It is impossible for the truck to fly away across the wilderness."

After collecting so many small yellow croakers, the little devil in charge of the survey really felt much happier, and he talked a lot in one breath, but it didn't change his problem of not focusing on the key points.

Perhaps in his opinion, the more detailed and more he speaks, the easier it will be for the staff officer to understand, and it will better reflect his value.

"Wait, why didn't the Eighth Route Army clean up the scene? Maybe they deliberately cleaned up the scene in order not to arouse our suspicion, without leaving any traces?"

The staff officer interrupted the other party and asked puzzledly.

"Your Excellency, you probably haven't had any contact with the Eighth Route Army?"

The little devil in charge of the survey suddenly laughed.

"does it matter?"

The staff officer was confused by the question.

His contact with the Eighth Route Army was limited to all kinds of intelligence and telegrams, and he had never even been on the battlefield, so how could he have real contact.

"If you understand the behavior of the Eighth Route Army, you won't have such doubts. How our soldiers treat the people here, you should know."

"The reason why the Eighth Route Army confronted our army was to protect these people. If we couldn't find clues, we would definitely vent our anger on the people. The Eighth Route Army knew this very well. They would not hide their tracks for fear of being discovered. On the contrary, if What they did, must leave a proof."

The little devil in charge of the reconnaissance said confidently that because he had been working outside for a long time, he knew a lot more about the style of the Eighth Route Army than the staff officer.

Makes sense.

The staff officer was shocked, and the first thing he thought of was Fujiwara Kujo's Qiao Zhuang plan.

Didn't Fujiwara Kujo dare to formulate this plan precisely because he knew the style of the Eighth Route Army?

Although the final plan failed, according to intelligence, all the villagers in Qiaozhuang escaped from danger, and no one died.

It can be seen that the Eighth Route Army really regards the people as very important. If there were no accidents in Qiaozhuang, Fujiwara Kujo's plan would have been realized long ago.

"So, there is only the fourth category left, bandits?"

The staff officer tapped the table with his fingers. Now that three categories have been eliminated, only the last category remains.

"Yes, although I don't know how the military department views these two incidents, but according to my understanding of these bandits and horse thieves, they are the most qualified category."

"First of all, the Changlong Highway starts from the supply station, about [-] kilometers to the southwest, and it will enter a mountainous area. The depth of the mountains there can reach hundreds of kilometers, which is very suitable for the bandits to drive away and then turn into the mountains. , which is why no traces of trucks were found around the supply station."

"Secondly, bandit gangs are generally relatively large in size, ranging from a few hundred to as many as a few thousand. They occupy the mountains as kings and have sufficient weapons and equipment. Even the army is unwilling to conflict with them. Usually they rely on They make a living by robbing houses, and they are very familiar with the process of robbery."

"Finally, among these bandits, there are some people with unique skills. They live in the mountains and forests all year round, and they can even fly over walls with just a rope. It is said that there are special drugs that make people lose consciousness, which is a bit similar to ninjutsu in our country. school."

The little devil in charge of the survey talked eloquently. Of course, some of these contents were learned by himself, and some were also heard.

As for whether the bandits would really fly over walls, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"However, according to what you said, bandits are generally entrenched in the mountains and forests. It is understandable for them to grab weapons and food, but things like trucks and fuel are not of much use to them. Why bother to grab them? ? And as far as I know, there are very few bandits who oppose our army, and most of their robbing targets are ordinary people who have no ability to resist?"

The chief of staff frowned and thought for a while before asking questions.

In his view, the bandits have strength, but no motive, and the suspicion is not even as great as that of the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency, do you like wealth?"

The little devil in charge of the survey asked abruptly.

The staff officer was taken aback, then nodded: "Of course, there is no one in this world who doesn't like wealth."

"That's it. Your Excellency likes it, and I like it too. People in this world like it, and bandits are no exception. Although trucks and fuel are not useful to them, they are useful to the Eighth Route Army. Do you know the existence of a black market? The Eighth Route Army usually passes through Some special channels to buy the required materials, and bandits can also use these channels to turn some useless things into this."

The little devil in charge of the survey said, and took out a small yellow croaker from his pocket.

"You mean, the bandits robbed our trucks and fuel and sold them to the Eighth Route Army?"

The staff officer yelled in disbelief.

"Not only these, weapons, ammunition, medicine, food, many, many, bandits are for money, the Eighth Route Army is for goods, in this world, there will be a market for demand, those bandits are not only good at robbery, they are also very shrewd businessmen , know how to create the greatest benefit for yourself.”

The little devil in charge of the survey put the little yellow croaker in his pocket, and counted them with the staff officer on his fingers.

"Is this what you mean by maximizing demand and benefit?"

The staff officer finally understood.

"Yes, the interest of the Eighth Route Army is how to defeat us. They need weapons, ammunition, food and other materials, while the interests of the bandits are wealth, so they need to obtain wealth through robbery. When they cannot directly grab wealth, they It’s going to grab something that can turn into wealth.”

The little devil in charge of the survey admired himself a little, how could he see the problem so thoroughly?If you don't go to the staff headquarters to be a staff officer, you will be inferior.

Feeling a little wronged in his heart, he continued: "As for your Excellency's statement that the bandits are not against us, that is only on the surface. In the face of interests, anyone may be an enemy. The bandits robbed trucks and supply stations and killed us." Soldiers who sold supplies to the Eighth Route Army, obtained wealth, cleaned up the scene, and avoided being suspected by us, isn’t this a sure-fire business for them?”

"So it is!"

The staff officer understood.

Chapter 580 What is the truth

As for whether he figured it out on his own, or if the little devil in charge of the investigation made it clear, I'm afraid even he himself didn't know.

But in any case, he has got the answer, and it is the most reasonable truth.

The robbery of the truck and the attack on the supply station were caused by bandits in the mountains and forests along the Changlong Highway.

"Come on, let me toast you, your analysis is too thorough."

The staff officer picked up his wine glass and said excitedly.

Although the five small yellow croakers were somewhat beyond his budget, the money was well spent. At least it led him to the right direction and locked the target.

"Your Excellency is too polite. This is just my personal analysis, and it is just for your reference."

The little devil who was in charge of the survey was also very happy. He got five small yellow croakers, which were heavy in his pocket.

He was even a little thankful that these two things happened, otherwise how would he have the opportunity to receive these benefits?

As for the looted trucks and supplies, what does it have to do with me?It's not something I bought with my own money.

And those soldiers who were killed were worthy of death, and these five little yellow croakers also had their credit.

The problem was solved, and both of them got what they wanted. They were a lot more relaxed and happy, and they began to exchange glasses and drink.

Soon, under the false flattery of each other, the two became the most "close" brothers in their lives.

In the middle of the night, the wine on the table was finally finished, and the little devil in charge of the survey was already too drunk to be human, and he sat on the chair.

The staff officer was also dizzy and had the urge to vomit.

"You can't drink any more, I'll help you back to your room to rest."

The staff officer shook his head, staggered over, helped up the little devil in charge of the survey, and planned to end the drinking session.

"Actually, it may not be the bandits who did it. The biggest suspect is our own people. The bodies of the soldiers who were killed did not show any signs of resistance, which shows that they were killed without knowing it. What to guard against... Hehehe, in this world, the emperor is just a created god, the allegiance advertised by the army is just a lie to brainwash the soldiers, and the guys in high positions in the military are just a group of people wearing hypocritical masks The evil spirits are just seeking benefits for themselves for various reasons..."

The little devil in charge of the investigation was completely drunk, so drunk that he passed out, and poured out all the words in his heart.

The staff officer, who couldn't even stand still, broke out in a cold sweat at the words, and immediately became sober.

He arranged for the little devil on duty to send him back to rest, while he himself returned to the office, sitting under the lamp and meditating.

In terms of investigation, he is not as professional as the little devil in charge of investigation, but in terms of scheming, he is far superior to the other party, at least he will not say this kind of heart.

What emperor, what slogan, what interests, just as the real purpose of launching this war is to satisfy some people's selfish desires, he knows it well.

The reason why he got involved was just to take the opportunity to satisfy his own selfish desires.

What shocked him was, could these two things really be done by his own people?

It seems that this is really the case. Both incidents happened in the occupied area of ​​the Fujiwara brigade, and they were done very cleanly, leaving no clues for people to trace.

If the truth cannot be found, what will be the final result?

Fujiwara Kujo took the responsibility, and their subordinates died with them. The Fujiwara brigade changed its name and changed hands, and this occupied area became someone else's territory.

Just as the little devil in charge of the survey said, only if you do it yourself will you not be on guard.

It is for profit to invade this country, and there are also interests involved among themselves.

The value of the materials lost in these two incidents is not high, but they are of great significance. It is hard to guarantee that Fujiwara Kujo's enemies did not intentionally retaliate and use the military's knife to kill people.

It is even possible that Kitahara Qianye's opponent is deliberately making a fuss.

The struggle between high-level officials did not see blood, but it was even more bloody.

Connecting all the possibilities in series, it seems that my own person is the most likely.

The staff officer didn't feel sleepy at all, and he didn't even have the joy of finding the truth before, all that was left was panic.

Because he seems to know a truth that he shouldn't know.

With his status and status, in this vortex of internal struggle, he would be chewed until there was no bone left.

How to make the final conclusion?

When it was almost dawn, the staff officer made a decision.

Keep your mouth shut, the truth is that the bandits did it.
