Chapter 55: The Estuary Fire
A team of about two hundred people walked on the edge of the woods. From a distance, these soldiers were wearing khaki military uniforms, which clearly identified them as a Japanese army. The whole team lined up neatly, and there was little conversation between the walks, and these two items alone were more in line with the marching discipline of the Japanese army. If you meet someone who hasn't seen them, you can see that this is an imperial army!
A small river appears ahead. With endless green grasslands on one side and lush forests on the other, the river gurgling out of the trees is a beautiful picture left by nature.
"This is the Green Willow River!" The soldier at the front of the team shouted, "Commander-in-chief, it's time for the Green Willow River!" ”
Ren Laifeng was in love with Feng Wenying, and when he heard the shouts of this terrible scenery, he hurried over to check. Sure enough, the small river flowing out of the middle of the woods was so clear that you could almost see the bottom of the river, and the fish in the river could see it clearly.
This river is the only way for the Japanese adviser Shimizu Jiro to go to the Second Army of Angola! It's not that there are any important roads passing here, but that if Shimizu Jiro is going to the Anguo Second Army, this river is his water supply station. There's a river around here, and he's going to have to come here to get some water!
Ren Laifeng can lead the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion to ambush in the woods by the river, and when the Japanese come, they will suddenly rush out and kill them! How does it sound like a lion lying in ambush by a pond, waiting to attack a critter that comes to drink?
Everything in the world must follow the law of the strong and the survival of the fittest, although humans are more advanced than animals, in fact, they are the same. Ren Laifeng never felt how noble he was, of course, if he stood with the devil and traitor, it was another matter.
Looking at the terrain around here, Ren Laifeng couldn't help but admit that this place was indeed a good place for ambushes. The people he brought with him today were all the elites carefully selected from the New First Company and the New Second Company.
Before leaving, Ren Lai had a wit and asked the two hundred people to change into Japanese military uniforms. Anyway, the soldiers of the new second company are each equipped with two kinds of military uniforms, one for the national army and one for the Japanese army, and they can be dressed up as Japanese soldiers at any time when they need it.
Now these two hundred people are dressed as Japanese soldiers, let alone hidden, even if they swagger and face to face with the Japanese army, the devils may not be able to see that these people are fake.
With this idea in his heart, Ren Laifeng naturally refused to wronged himself anymore and hid in the grass. He ordered the troops to rest in place, and as if it weren't enough, he also asked the soldiers to take local materials, go to the woods to chop dry wood, build a fire and burn water. He also took the dry food he had brought with him to the fire and roasted it, and even ate and drank it with boiling water, which was pleasant.
"Commander-in-chief, if we make a fire and roast dry food like this, will we scare the devils so much that they don't dare to come this way?" This time, it was Chen Zhongyi, deputy company commander of the new company, who followed Ren Laifeng to carry out the task. Although Deputy Chen Lian did not dare to openly oppose the order of the commander-in-chief, he still couldn't help but worry after all.
"Hehe, Lao Chen, when have you ever been afraid of ghosts? It's okay if we don't make a fire, if we make a fire, even if the devil passes by, he has to come over to see what's going on. Ren Laifeng didn't care. In fact, he knew in his heart that there was only one water point within a radius of more than ten miles, and as long as the devils didn't want to endure their thirst and hurry, they had to come this way.
Is that so? Chen Zhong was half skeptical. But since Ren Laifeng said so, if he objected again, even if Ren Laifeng had no idea and made Feng Wenying next to him unhappy, he would be unlucky at the moment! Seeing that Company Commander Feng seemed to have the intention of talking alone with the commander-in-chief, where did he dare to stay here again to annoy people? I quickly made an excuse and went to the side to brag and gossip with the soldiers of the new company.
A few miles away, a troop of cavalry was galloping across the prairie. Running and running, the cavalry slowly slowed down and stopped. The cavalry was wearing a Japanese military uniform, and the leader of the devil wore the rank of Dazuo on his shoulders. The devil looked up into the distance, and there was a forest over there, and several puffs of smoke were rising from the edge of the woods.
"Dazuo, there is smoke in the estuary!" The devil soldier next to him hurriedly reported his new discovery to Dazuo.
"I see it." Dazuo nodded slightly, "That's someone lighting a fire next to the woods, there are quite a few people, there are six fires." ”
"Yes, are we canceling the plan to get water and go directly to the Second Army of the Angola?"
"Just go? No! Coming here to get water and rest was set before departure, we couldn't change the original plan! ”
"But there are a large number of suspicious people there, most likely ambushes of the Shina people. Dazuo, I think we should rush to the Angolan Second Army as soon as possible. The plan to take a break from water should be canceled! "The Japanese army still wants to insist.
"Tanaka-kun, will our Imperial Japanese Army be afraid of the ambush soldiers? If a few fires of unknown origin scared us too close, what was the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army? Since there are people in the estuary, we should investigate it even more. ”
"Don't forget, the Second and Sixth Armies of Angola are not far from here. We just want to make an example for them to see how the Imperial Japanese Army deals with emergencies! ”
"Hey!" When it comes to the dignity of the imperial army, Tanaka Shaozo doesn't dare to oppose it anymore.
Shimizu Jiro said very hard, but his courage was not as big as his mouth. He took a telescope and looked at the fire for a long time, but because the distance was too far, he saw it, but he couldn't see what clothes those people were wearing, whether it was the national army or the national army? Or is it the Japanese army? Guerilla?
"Tanaka-kun, you take two people over to reconnoiter and see who are the people who started the fire in the estuary." It happened that Tanaka Shaozo was quite close to him, and Shimizu Daisa casually assigned a job to His Excellency Shaozuo.
Tanaka Shaosa, who was originally the initiator of the detour, was now sent over to investigate, and of course he was not happy. But in the face of Dazuo's order, he really didn't dare not carry it out. Proposed to take a detour, it was for the safety of the team, and if he refused to carry out the reconnaissance mission, he was personally greedy for life and afraid of death! Shimizu Dazuo turned his face faster than he turned a book, and Tanaka Shaozuo didn't dare to give him an excuse to turn his face.
There are also many kinds of reconnaissance, Tanaka Shaosa took two entourages and rode in the direction of the woods, stopped to take a telescope to observe after walking a hundred meters, and walked a hundred meters ahead before he could see clearly. Who said that investigation is to get close to eavesdropping on people's conversations? Using a telescope is also called reconnaissance!
After walking about six or seven hundred meters ahead, I could see clearly through the telescope that the group of people standing next to the fire were all Japanese Imperial Army! Well, it's all my own people, and I was almost scared to death!
Tanaka looked back at his companion, and Shimizu was looking at him with his neck stretched.
