Chapter 57: Discovery!
Liu Cheng planned to organize these ten squads into two platoons, but did not select a suitable person to be the platoon commander.
On the twenty-fifth day, Liu Cheng sent a soldier named Yu Lin back to report the situation to Zhang Guanyi, and at the same time learn about the recent movements of the devil.
After such a high-intensity training lasted twenty-five days, Liu Cheng decided to let the soldiers rest for a day, send the reconnaissance squad out to hunt, and improve the food for everyone at night.
In the afternoon, Tian Liuwa suddenly led someone to carry a wild boar and a few pheasants and ran back in a panic.
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile:
"What's wrong? Caught up with a tiger or a blind bear? ”
Tian Liuwa didn't answer, grabbed Liu Cheng's hand and pulled him aside, leaned into his ear and whispered:
"I found a devil!"
Liu Cheng's face changed instantly:
"How many? From which direction? ”
Tian Liuwa finally took a breath, waved her hand and said:
"They didn't come to look for us, they were on a hill forty miles to the east, and it seemed that they were stationed there, but I didn't find their camp after looking at it for a long time."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said:
"How many people do you see?"
Tian Liuwa's face suddenly became a little ugly, and she slowly stretched out two fingers.
Liu Cheng was a little puzzled:
"Two hundred?"
Tian Liuwa swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her voice was almost inaudible:
"Two, two."
Originally, he thought that Liu Cheng would scold him for making a fuss, but he didn't.
Liu Cheng didn't speak for a long time after listening, and it took seven or eight minutes before he asked again:
"What did they all have on them? Like a duffel backpack? ”
Tian Liuwa was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she said:
"At that time, the distance was relatively far, and I only saw them holding guns in their hands, and I couldn't see what else was on them, but there were absolutely no backpacks."
Liu Cheng nodded and was silent again.
Tian Liuwa waited cautiously, for fear that Liu Cheng would criticize herself.
After a while, Liu Cheng raised his head, patted Tian Liuwa's shoulder and said:
"You take two people and go to the vicinity overnight to reconnoitre, there are definitely not only two devils there, but a team of devils stationed there, try to find out their number."
Tian Liuwa agreed, turned around and called the two soldiers to leave the camp again.
In fact, after listening to Tian Liuwa's words, Liu Cheng immediately thought that it was likely to be a secret base of devils, but he didn't know what it was for, and he didn't know how many people were stationed.
He naturally knew what the Japanese had done during the years of occupation of Northeast China, where they looted a large amount of gold, silver, treasure, and various mineral resources.
The only possibility of garrisoning troops in the mountains is that it is either a secret base or that some kind of mineral has been discovered.
Sending Tian Liuwa to the main thing is to scout the number of devils, if possible, Liu Cheng can just use these devils to test the results of training.
The next night, Tian Liuwa and the three rushed back to the camp.
He told Liu Cheng that there was a cave on that mountain, and those devils were there, and two devils would come out every hour and walk around the cave, and it seemed that there should not be many people.
Although there is no accurate news, Liu Cheng still plans to go there.
He could basically conclude that the number of devils there must be limited, and they were not particularly important, otherwise, it would not just be two people coming out every hour to go around the cave, but patrolling twenty-four hours a day.
Early the next morning, Liu Chengcheng set off with his troops.
After seeing the two devils enter the cave after turning around, Liu Cheng made a gesture towards Tian Liuwa, and Tian Liuwa immediately took a soldier from the reconnaissance squad to quietly touch it and ambushed them on both sides of the cave entrance.
An hour later, just as the two devils walked out of the cave laughing, they were suddenly strangled from behind.
This is a kind of fighting strangulation technique taught by Liu Cheng: one hand around the opponent's neck from behind, the elbow is bent towards the Adam's apple, and the palm of the hand is clasped around the big arm of his other arm; The other hand grabbed the back of the opponent's head, and both arms pressed at the same time.
The arteries on both sides are squeezed by a huge force at the same time, and the brain is instantly deprived of oxygen, and the person will immediately lose the ability to resist, and he will fall into a coma after more than ten seconds.
However, this method is only suitable for opponents who are similar to their height or shorter than themselves, and if the opponent is taller than themselves, it is easy to be countered by the opponent.
Tian Liuwa and the others dragged back the two stunned devils, stuffed rags in their mouths first, and then woke them up.
The two devils opened their eyes in a daze, and they were instantly stunned.
Liu Cheng held a bayonet in his hand, lowered his voice and said to one of the devils:
"Now I'll take out what is in your mouth, and if you dare to shout, I'll kill you immediately!" Do you understand?! ”
The devil looked at Liu Cheng with blank and frightened eyes, and did not react.
Liu Cheng repeated it again in Japanese, and the devil suddenly nodded again and again.
As Liu Cheng had guessed, it was a small Japanese arsenal that produced bullets, grenades and gun accessories.
Due to the secrecy of the position, there was only one squad in charge of garrisoning it, but two machine guns and two grenadiers were added to the original firepower.
Liu Cheng calculated, and in this way, there were five light machine guns and about fifty rifles in this cave.
If you attack by force, the opponent is condescending, there is a cave as a cover, and there are enough grenades, so you have no chance of winning at all.
The only way is to let the two of them change into devil's clothes and blend in.
But now there is no second person who can speak Japanese except himself, so he immediately said to Tian Liuwa:
"You stay here, I'll take someone to change into the devil's clothes and blend in."
Tian Liuwa was anxious when she heard this, and was about to speak, but was glared at by Liu Cheng fiercely, and swallowed her words back.
Liu Cheng naturally made sense to do this.
The only person he can fully trust now is Tian Liuwa, if both of them go, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will be a big trouble.
In the end, Liu Cheng picked a soldier named Zhu Xingwen in the reconnaissance squad to go with him.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the cave, someone inside suddenly asked in Japanese:
"Ikeda, where have you been?"
Liu Cheng deliberately said angrily:
"Unlucky, I accidentally fell and rolled down a steep slope of seven or eight meters."
The voice burst out laughing:
"Haha, you idiot."
Liu Cheng also laughed, laughing as he walked into the cave.
After getting used to the light, Liu Cheng saw clearly that more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, there was a bunker on the left and right sides, on which two machine guns were erected.
Instead of holding the machine gun in their hands, the four devils sat around and baked a brazier.
When he was still seven or eight meters away, Liu Cheng suddenly whispered to Zhu Xingwen:
"Prepare to shoot!"
