Chapter 407: The Verge

After dragging the two bodies into the house and hiding them, the two searched the house again, took a few items that were barely of some value, and then immediately left the courtyard.

Cai Zhong has been rampant in Ningcheng for many years, and long before the Japanese came, the valuable objects in the hands of the people of Ningcheng had been almost looted by him.

The old couple who had just been killed did have some valuable things at home, but in order to save their lives, they had already been obediently given to Cai Zhong.

Although the two of them took things just to simply fake the illusion of killing people for money, they really didn't pay attention to what they found, and they threw them directly into the river shortly after leaving Ningcheng.

Not long after the two left, Liu Cheng quietly infiltrated Ningcheng with Xu Zhi and Song Wen.

Liu Cheng and Xu Zhi didn't need to worry about being recognized, because they had never appeared in public in front of the people of Ningcheng.

As for Song Wen, most of the times he appears at night, even during the day, he will not show his true face, and he also does not need to worry about being recognized.

After the three of them entered Ningcheng, they swaggered around the street a few times, and found nothing other than seeing some suspicious people.

After that incident, no one in Ningcheng has come to take over so far, and for these people, in addition to being panicked, they have also enjoyed rare freedom.

A few of them were lively, and they packed up their belongings and slipped away overnight the night after Liu Cheng and the others left.

As for whether they can escape into the gate alive, it depends on their creation.

Liu Cheng and the others originally went into the city to inquire about the situation, but after arriving in the city, they found that this matter had become a topic of conversation among the people of Ningcheng after tea and dinner.

The restaurant and tea shop are all talking about Cai's house, and even the storyteller has compiled this matter into more than a dozen episodes of stories, which can be told every day.

Liu was still a little worried that due to the tight time at that time, there would be no traces left, so that someone would find their heads.

But now that I look at it, I can be regarded as completely relieved.

Cai's fate was the same as that of the Zhenhe Gang back then, it was burned down in a fire, and the house and the corpses were all burned clean in the fire.

This is really not that someone is deliberately helping, but the people of Ningcheng acted completely spontaneously out of resentment towards Cai Zhong.

Another reason is that after discovering that there were no living people in Cai's mansion, some bold people simply sneaked in at night and swept away things that could be slightly valuable.

In order to avoid settling accounts with the Japanese or Zhang Haipeng's army after they came in the future, they simply set fire to Cai's mansion, and when someone asked, they said that the person who killed Cai Zhong did it, and ordinary people would not suspect it on the heads of the people.

It can be seen that after honest people have been bullied for a long time, once they seize the opportunity, the counterattack is also quite terrifying.

It's just a pity that the Japanese didn't realize this until now.

At noon, the three of them casually found a small restaurant to eat.

While Song Wen went out to the toilet, Xu Zhi whispered to Liu Cheng:

"Battalion commander, isn't it a little too dangerous for you to let Li Dezhong and those people follow us? I always felt that they had another purpose. ”

Liu Cheng looked at Xu Zhi with a smile and said lightly:

"I'm the same as you think, the reason why I let them follow is to see what they want to do; As for the danger, that's not all, if there really is any purpose, then they have put so much effort into it, and they definitely don't want to catch us off guard. ”

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said:

"By the way, then we can't go back to the rock? Qian Lu's kid is still in the rock, there won't be any danger, right? ”

Liu Cheng shook his head:

"Don't worry, that kid has a lot of eyes; Although after we transfer, the devil will definitely conduct a thorough inventory of the rock, but Qian Lu will definitely prepare in advance. ”

Although Liu Cheng's answers were all very firm and seemed to be confident, Xu Zhi was still a little worried in his heart.

Especially the remnants of the army that followed them to Ningcheng, people who were a little more active could realize that it was not normal.

Although Liu Cheng said this, he was as worried as Xu Zhi in his heart.

If Li Dezhong and those people really followed them with some kind of purpose, then the person who set up this strategy must know Liu Cheng very well.

If Li Dezhong had given Liu Cheng a reason that could stand up to scrutiny, then Liu Cheng would have concluded that they had another purpose at the first time.

But the more such seemingly clumsy excuses, the more Liu Chengcheng felt that it was not fake.

And now that he has arrived in Ningcheng, Liu Cheng always has to figure out what these people want to do, and then make a decision.

After eating, the three of them left Ningcheng and returned to their temporary station.

Knowing that Li Dezhong and those people had been sleeping since he left, Liu Cheng had fewer doubts in his heart.

People lie, but bodies don't.

Judging from the sleeping state of those soldiers, it is indeed a manifestation of not getting rest for a long time, and they sleep very deeply.

At this time, Liu Cheng became more and more anxious to know the truth behind the whole thing.

From the transfer of the independent battalion to Rehe, it is very important whether there are people following them all the time along the way, and how much the enemy has mastered the current situation.

In the evening, the soldiers who went out to reconnoiter returned one after another, and the news they brought back made Liu Cheng feel a little surprised.

A Japanese squadron is no longer worth worrying about for Liu Cheng now, and he is absolutely sure that he will be able to take it out.

But a regiment of puppet troops, this is a bit of nonsense.

Liu Cheng was confident in the combat effectiveness of the special operations company, but it did not swell to the point of getting carried away.

A company against a regiment, not to mention a Japanese squadron, and even an enemy that he has not discovered for the time being, this regiment alone will definitely not be able to cope with the special operations company.

Even in the case of street fighting or assassination, a soldier of a special operations company can easily take out a dozen or even dozens of enemies, and in the case of a head-on battle, he is sure to lose.

On the battlefield, it is not the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, but the firepower to combat deployment, and then to mutual coordination and cooperation.

One of the most important factors is firepower.

The other side is a regiment, and even if it cannot be fully equipped according to the standard configuration, there will definitely be heavy firepower.

Even if there is only one mountain cannon, it is enough for Liu Cheng to drink a pot.

Also, now that they have found the Japanese squadron and a regiment of the puppet army, it is likely that the other party has also discovered them.

In this situation, Liu Cheng must think of a way to get the best of both worlds, otherwise he is likely to fall into the abyss from which he will never recover.

At the same time, he also has to take the opportunity to attract the attention of Zhang Haipeng and the Japanese to himself, and then find a way to throw this pot to others.

For example, Yan Lao Xi'er......
