The fellow looked at Nojiri Shoji thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's very dangerous ahead, this is true, but that was before." ”

"Before? What do you mean by that, folk? Nojiri sensed that he was about to get some important information, so he hurriedly asked.

"In the past, if you dared to go to the county seat from the Wufeng Mountain Boundary, you would definitely be robbed, but now it's okay, don't worry about this."

When the fellow said this, the scalper seemed to be frightened, and suddenly prepared to run wildly, but fortunately he was held in time, "You brute! ”

"Fellow, what do you mean, the bandits here have been exterminated by the government?"

"Extermination? Why do you want to exterminate it? ”

The fellow controlled the scalper and turned his head to look at Nojiri Shoji in some surprise.

When Nojiri Shoji heard this, the look of surprise on his face disappeared, and instead he became lost, paused, and after sorting out his emotions a little, he continued to ask, "Then why don't you worry about it now?" ”

"Because of the manifestation of the Bodhisattva, since more than two months ago, the master of Wufeng Zhai suddenly changed his temperament and no longer attacked the poor people."

The fellow seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "By the way, are you really refugees and poor?" ”

Nojiri Shoji was a little puzzled and confused when he was asked, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Yes, we really fled." ”

"Then there's no problem."

With that, the fellow led the ox towards the mountain path.

Nojiri Shoji seemed to want to ask something, but in this stunned kung fu, the fellow had already led the scalper out twenty or thirty meters away, and he could only shake his head helplessly at the moment, and did not catch up.

Otherwise, if you ask too many questions, it will seem abnormal, thus exposing your goals.

"Your Excellency, what useful information can you find?"

Nojiri Shoji shook his head and did not speak, but waved his hand to signal everyone to continue moving forward.

Standing at the top of the slope, looking at the back of Nojiri Shoji and his entourage, the corners of the cowherd's mouth were lightly raised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

If there were officers and men of the new regiment standing here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this fellow was none other than Hu Yunfei, commander of the first battalion of the new regiment......

"Your Excellency Captain, we don't seem to have encountered anything abnormal along the way, you see those places suitable for ambushes, we have all gone to reconnoitre, and we have not found any traces of enemy fortifications at all."

A little devil in civilian clothes walked down the hill on the side of the road and came to the side of Captain Shoji Nojiri and bowed down to report.

As everyone knows, before they left the city, they were already firmly targeted by the new group.

Along the way, they thought they were very well disguised, but they didn't know that their every move had been completely exposed under the new mass of eyelids, just like a big girl without clothes, completely looked at.

So, if they can still detect something useful, that's hell.

Along the way, when he encounters a suitable place for an ambush, Nojiri Shoji will send someone to scout carefully and record it at the same time.

During this time, they also met many ordinary people, but they did not get the information he wanted from these people.

No, it can also be said that these messages are also good for them if they are completely true.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Nojiri Shoji did not lead the team to the foot of Wufeng Mountain, but turned around less than five or six miles away from Wufeng Mountain and headed towards Yongcheng from another road.

"Huh? Before, the reconnaissance company sent a telegram to report, saying how many little devils are coming? ”

"Report the camp, plus the little devil who led the team, a total of nineteen people."

"Then why are there only fourteen people here now, and where are the five little devils?"

Zhang Jinpeng frowned and slowly put down the telescope in his hand.

"This ......"

The Sixth Company Commander was silent for a moment and then said, "Could it be that they are going to take another path?" ”

"Where did these little devils come from?" Zhang Jinpeng did not answer the rhetorical question.

"It seems to have come from the same road where the first battalion was stationed."

"Quickly send a telegram to the first battalion, and ask how many people there are when the little devil comes."

"Yes!"

The commander of the sixth company responded and took the order, and after a while, he rushed back.

"How?"

"Report to the camp, a battalion called back, and there were indeed nineteen people when the little devils came."

"And where did the other five little devils go?" Zhang Jinpeng muttered in a low voice, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Quickly send a power to the third battalion and ask if you see the traces of those five little devils." ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the sixth company took the order again, and this time he came back much later, and it took nearly half an hour.

"How's it going?"

"Report to the camp, news came from the third battalion, and no trace of these five little devils was found!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jinpeng's heart suddenly "chuckled", because he had realized that the situation was wrong.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jinpeng ordered again: "Quickly send a telegram to the regiment headquarters and report this situation to the regimental seat!" ”

"Yes!"

After the commander of the sixth company responded, he left again, as if he had become a signal soldier.

Zhang Jinpeng looked at the little devil who had almost walked to his feet, his brows were wrinkled, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his face was a little gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the voice of the fifth company commander suddenly sounded in his ears: "Yingzuo, should we leave this group of little devils here?" ”

The fifth company commander's tone was cold, and his words were full of undisguised murderous intent against the little devil; Since the previous commander of the fifth company had been martyred in the battle of Linhuai Pass, the new commander of the fifth company had just been promoted from the platoon commander below.

"Let them pass, withdraw! Destroy the traces! ”

"Yes!"

Orders are forbidden, and words are followed.

Although the officers and soldiers of the second battalion were very unwilling to see these little devils leave, they still gritted their teeth and retreated towards the back of the mountain with Zhang Jinpeng, who was at the base of the battalion.

Sure enough, not long after everyone retreated, two little devils sneakily touched the location where everyone in the second battalion had been hiding before.

"Yingzuo, you are really a god, you actually know that the little devil will come up to reconnoiter the situation!"

Zhang Jinpeng just smiled faintly, and then signaled everyone to pay attention to concealment, seeing that the little devil did not continue to touch them, and they did not continue to retreat.

Wufeng Village, the new regiment headquarters, Yang Yun sat behind a simple old desk with a telegram in his hand, his brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.

"Tuanza, what's the situation?"

Chief of Staff Yang Ronghui couldn't help but ask out loud.

"See for yourself."

Yang Yun did not answer, but slowly handed the message in his hand towards him.
