And he made a patrol at the checkpoint in the west of the city, and was about to get in the car and leave after nothing special happened. The engine of a Japanese military vehicle sounded from far and near, and the snow-white headlights were particularly dazzling in the dark night.

Taro Tanaka was a little puzzled by the fact that there were still cars passing through the checkpoint, so he couldn't help but stop getting into the car to see what kind of vehicle was going out of the city in the middle of the night.

When the truck slowly stopped in front of the Japanese military police Kisai checkpoint, Taro Tanaka finally saw that the truck was a truck of the Imperial Army.

He called the second lieutenant officer in charge of the checkpoint to himself, pointed to the truck that had stopped, and asked, "Is this the car of that department?" Why do you have to go out of town so late? Aren't you afraid that the transported materials will be hijacked by bandits or other people with bad intentions? ”

The second lieutenant of the gendarme put his feet together, bowed and replied, "Your Excellency Nakasa, this is the truck of the 16th Division in the logistics department of Stone Town, and sometimes they have an urgent transportation mission and need to go out of the city in the middle of the night. It's just not every night, it's just occasionally. Now the surrounding Imperial Army of Stone Town can still be controlled, no bandits or anti-Japanese organizations dare to hijack the Imperial Army's vehicles day or night, unless they are impatient. The safety of the Imperial Army's military vehicles is still guaranteed, at least the subordinates have never heard of such a thing. ”

Taro Tanaka asked again, "Oh, I see, did your people inspect their truck when it passed?" ”

The second lieutenant of the Japanese military police replied in the affirmative: "Every time they want to go out of the city, their subordinates have personally checked it, and there is no problem." Moreover, they have a pass issued by the officer of the logistics department of the 16th Division in Stone Town, attached to the back of the transport documents, do you have any doubts about their military vehicles? ”

Tanaka Taro was about to speak, when he saw that a Japanese soldier had already gotten out of the passenger seat of the truck, ran to Tanaka Taro with his feet together, handed over a stack of papers, bowed and reported: "Your Excellency Nakasa, your subordinates have an important and urgent transportation task, and it is an order personally issued by His Excellency the division commander, please let him go!" ”

In fact, this Japanese soldier Cao was still a little scared in his heart, because there had never been a mistake in many previous transactions when he passed by the military police checkpoint in the east of the city in the middle of the night, and not a single officer of Nakasa was still at the checkpoint in the middle of the night.

But today's situation was a little different, and it was obvious that after he had parked the car, he noticed from the snow-white headlights that a Nakasa officer had appeared at the checkpoint in the east of the city. This is not a good sign! After all, it had never been seen before that there were any high-ranking officers of the Special High Division who would appear at this checkpoint at night. Don't have any surprises tonight.

Taro Tanaka took the document and flipped through it, looked at the signature, and after confirming the authenticity of the document, he asked the Japanese soldier: "Why do you 16th Division still have to transport arms tonight?" ”

The military officer replied very respectfully: "This is an order given by our Nomura Shaosa, and our subordinates are just carrying out the order, and please ask Your Excellency Nakasa to ask us Nomura Shaoza for the specific situation, and he will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Taro Tanaka also knew that this military cao was telling the truth, and Hideki Nomura would know the reason for transporting arms in the middle of the night, and the military cao in front of him was just an executor.

He didn't speak, silently pinched the passage documents and walked to the checkpoint booth, and made a call to Hideki Nomura's office, which was quickly answered: "Moxi Moxi? ”

Taro Tanaka opened his mouth and asked, "Nomura-kun, I'm Taro Tanaka from the Special High School, and I'm at the checkpoint in the east of the city. Are your men going to transport a shipment of guns and ammunition out of the city tonight? Why go out in the middle of the night? ”

As soon as Hideki Nomura heard the voice of Taro Tanaka, the cold sweat on his forehead suddenly broke out, and he secretly said that he was unlucky.

He was afraid that Taro Tanaka would find out his secret, so he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Ah, it's Tanaka-kun." Why are you still patrolling checkpoints at this time? The military vehicles of our 16th Division are to leave the city, and the passage documents are also issued by me, which is an urgent order issued to me by the division headquarters, and I must carry it out immediately. Is there something wrong? ”

Tanaka Taro heard Hideki Nomura ask himself in a puzzled tone, so he replied: "Nomura-kun, you misunderstood, I just happened to be patrolling the checkpoint in the west of the city tonight, and I think it's a little strange that the military vehicles of your department have to transport guns and ammunition out of the city so late." So I'll call you to check on the situation, but since it's an urgent order from your 16th Division Headquarters, there's no problem, and I'll let you go immediately. ”

Nomura Hideki had a ghost in his heart, he originally thought that Tanaka Taro had found some clues, but Tanaka Taro's answer reassured him a little, and it might be just a coincidence that Tanaka Taro appeared at the checkpoint in the west of the city tonight.

Therefore, Hideki Nomura wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, soothed his mood and said, "Then please let Nomura-kun let him go as soon as possible." To tell the truth, I also felt a little puzzled by the urgent order sent by the division and regiment headquarters, but the division and regiment headquarters was in a hurry, and I had no choice but to obey the order to transport this batch of guns and ammunition as soon as possible. So please Tanaka-kun! ”

Taro Tanaka saw that the formalities for this military vehicle were complete, and he personally verified it with Hideki Nomura, so he naturally would not embarrass this military vehicle of the logistics department of the 16th Division.

After he hung up the phone, he went straight to the back of the truck with the Japanese second lieutenant in charge of the inspection station and the Japanese soldier from the logistics department of the 16th Division, and said, "Please move down a wooden box, I want to open it and take a look." ”

The Japanese soldier Cao didn't expect that the officer in front of him would still have to open the box and inspect after calling Nomura Shaozo for verification, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Hu Sang and the other three in the carriage had been hidden, and would not be discovered by this officer who suddenly wanted to inspect it, it would be fatal!

But since this Zhongzuo officer gave the order, he had to carry it out, and the other party's rank was much higher than his own, although he did not belong to the same department, but he did not dare to disobey the order.

So the Japanese soldier Cao shouted to the carriage where the canvas was put down: "You two will open the canvas, and Your Excellency Nakasa will open the box and check it!" ”

This is still the only action he can do now, that is, he wants to remind Hu Yongqiang and the other three to hide in the dark behind the wooden box pile, and not to have any problems at this juncture.
