It turned out that the winding path was covered in snow, but there were barely traces to be seen. The dead grass and thorns on both sides of the road were also covered in thick white, almost mixed with the path.

Under the cover of night, under the guidance of Shen Chen, the team sneaked past the watchtower that closed the mountain, climbed the mountain and crossed the forest, and finally came to the vicinity of Liu Village.

is still that cemetery, Shen Chen once hid a gun in the grave, and once went to Hanji Town from here to catch the market.

Shen Chen narrowed his eyes and searched among the graves that were almost identical in the snow.

Zhao Tie held the binoculars and looked in the direction of Liucun. Liu Village was not visible here, but he only felt that he had to look at it more, and his heart was more steady.

"Let's go a mile or two further, and you can see Liucun." Shen Chen stretched out his finger and pointed, paused, and then continued: "If you turn that way, you will be close to the main road." ”

Zhao Tie put down the binoculars, glanced at Shen Chen, and said, "I'll take two people over there to reconnoitre, and you guys will rest in place." ”

Whether it is a devil or an imperial army, it is rarely dispatched at night. As for the plainclothes detectives, they are engaged in secret operations, and they can't be sure where they are hiding.

Therefore, Zhao Tie had to observe the situation on the main road, wait for dawn, and then wait for the opportunity to dispatch.

For example, a team of Imperial Allies just passed on the road, or a detective team passed by, or a devil's car drove past, which can be used as reference and use of intelligence.

Shen Chen didn't care much about this, he still believed in Zhao Tie's experience.

After Zhao Tie took a few team members away, the remaining team members piled up with snow, surrounded a small open space, and heated hot water around the charcoal brazier.

Winter is like this, the environment is very physically exertive, and there is nothing more comfortable than eating a hot meal and drinking hot water.

In activities behind enemy lines, the detachment has become more and more experienced, and its material preparation has become more and more sufficient. It's like charcoal and coke, which don't have smoke when lit, as long as it blocks the fire.

If you don't have these little things, you can't stay too long in the cold wilderness.

Shen Chen drank hot water and warmed his body, but he didn't forget to tell the team members to pay attention to things.

"Devils, it's just eyes up, looking at the death of no one. If there is a slight mistake, scold, and fan with a big ear scraper. Don't laugh, if you pretend to be a devil or laugh, you have to keep your eyes up, and don't smile at the people......"

"Acting like anything, it's actually very simple, that is, you really think of yourself as the role you want to play. Say to yourself repeatedly: I am a devil, I am fierce, I am very cross, I want to scold people, I want to beat people. Well, if you read it a lot, you will feel like a devil, and you don't have to act deliberately, it will be very similar......"

Cao Xiaobao nodded again and again, admiring. It's a pity that he can't pretend to be a devil, he is Shen Chen's deputy, and when he looks at him, he has to understand, and he has to round the field. So, it's pitiful, he can only pretend to be a translator.

But Cao Xiaobao didn't care, what's wrong with the translator, that's the existence of two devils, second only to devils, let him detective team and the imperial army, he still have to nod to himself.

"Be smart when the time comes, and act according to my gestures." Shen Chen lowered everything with his hand, "If you want to kill, you must be clean and neat, there is no persuasion to surrender the gun and preferential treatment, it is a waste of time." ”

"Don't worry, boss." Yu Baogen preemptively promised: "Just like in the He family, if you don't talk nonsense, you will kill." ”

Shen Chen was very satisfied with the title of boss, smiled happily, and waved his hand fakely: "In front of Boss Zhao, don't call me boss." He's not here, well, you can do whatever you want. Hahaha......"

"Boss, come, drink water." Cao Xiaobao was preempted by Yu Baogen, and hurriedly offered his courtesy.

"Boss, eat a piece of baked bun, brown and crispy." Another team member stepped forward to wait.

"Okay, okay." Shen Chen put both hands on his hand and smiled happily, "Do a good job, let's go to the county seat in the future, I invite you to go down to the big restaurant and have a big meal." ”

"The county seat-" Cao Xiaobao recalled as if he was longing, "I went there once when I was a child, but I can't remember it clearly now, but I think the city wall is old and high, and there are many old ...... trades."

Shen Chen thought about it and felt that neither he nor Damei had ever been to the county seat.

When the sky was bright, Zhao Tie brought people back. He didn't lie still on the side of the road, but walked a long distance and had a new idea.

After some deliberation, the team all set out and approached the main road.

Zhao Tie led people to wait for the rabbit on the road, while Shen Chen led the "devil" team to march in the opposite direction, and the "plainclothes detective team" followed the "devil" more than 100 meters behind the "devil" and served as a guard.

……………

Sandwiched between the bends of a flat road, the mounds were overgrown with dry, knee-deep puffy trees, broom seedlings, and grass. There are more than a dozen large trees growing below, and a little farther away, there is a field.

In this place, where no one usually notices, a sentry of the Imperial Allied Army suddenly appeared, and seven or eight Imperial Allied soldiers with big guns on their backs were staggering back and forth on the edge of the woods and on the road.

Because this is not the first time that a guard has been set up for inspection, the original broken grass shed is still there. A few ordinary people passing by understood that this was because some imperial troops were short of money, saying that they were setting up posts for investigation, but in fact it was extortion, and it could even be called a roadblock robbery.

The sun had just risen, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, but the ordinary people who occasionally passed by passed the sentry with trepidation, only to find that those imperial troops were not extremely vicious, but just looked at the certificate of good people, and then simply searched down and let them go.

Could it be that looking at the clothes and feeling that there is little oil and water, the people left with questions.

"Captain, there are three guys here, and they don't seem to be good people." A member of the team ran over and reported to Zhao Tie.

"Be prepared." Zhao Tie's spirits perked up and he gritted his teeth, "The dog cub has finally come out, and I will send you to see the king of Hades." ”

In the middle of the night, three people walked along the avenue. The person in front of the head wore an old man's hat and a thick cotton jacket, and the two people in the back wore cotton hats, and the cotton jackets were covered with purple clothes that were often worn by the common people at that time.

"Come here, check." Zhao Tie shook the big gun in his hand, and shouted viciously: "Which village." What to do? What about the certificate of good citizenship? ”

The guy with the old man Dai saw the Imperial Association Army checking, and did not show a panicked look, he still swaggered forward, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "What are you bluffing, what are you doing?" Lao Tzu is a plainclothes team. As he spoke, he lifted his gown, revealing the speed and slowness in his waist.

Zhao Tie's muzzle lowered a little, his tone was still quite tough, he discussed this set of rhetoric with the team members several times, and it was like that.

"It turned out to be a plainclothes brother." Zhao Tie said: "Please take a look at the documents!" The chief explained, and he had to guard against someone impersonating. ”

"Oh, someone dares to impersonate us?" The spy was stunned for a moment, took out his documents, and fell on Zhao Tie's face.

At this time, he also approached, saw a few broken bags littered on the edge of the woods, and couldn't help sneering disdainfully: "I see that your inventory is fake, I'm afraid that you are poor and crazy, so you came here to make extra money, right?" ”

Zhao Tie smiled. He returned his papers with both hands and said, "You can't say that. Look at that shed by the woods, we can find guns and letters! When they are brought back for the first trial, if they are guerrillas, the reward is not old or young. ”

"Guns and letters? Let me see. As soon as the spy was in good spirits, he drilled into the grass hut and muttered: "It's really fucking * shit luck, Lao Tzu's legs are thin, and he didn't catch useful ......."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the spy crashed into it. Before he could see what was going on inside, his mouth was covered from behind, and two knives were stabbed in his chest and back almost at the same time......

Zhao Tie looked at the corpse that fell outside the shed, rolled his eyes, and reprimanded the team members next to him, "It's right to be ruthless, you shout a fart." Or 'kill', when fighting bayonets? And you, why don't you die, you have to get blood and destroy your clothes. ”

"Then let's pay attention to it in the future." The team members who were ambushed in the small shed didn't care and moved the bloody corpses out.

The team member who used murder as a bayonet scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and rubbed the blood-stained bayonet clean on the agent's corpse.

"You guys, hurry up and get these two guys to the snow pit in the back, and remember to find out everything on them." Zhao Tie stretched out his hand and commanded, "You two, hurry up and clean up this ground." The blood is hula, and the next person will be exposed. ”

After giving the order, Zhao Tie took two team members and escorted the prisoners into the woods. Scouting and gathering intelligence is far less convenient than taking it out of this guy's mouth. At least the whereabouts of the plainclothes detective team, this guy can know a lot.

……………

Shen Chen led people to approach the watchtower, but he temporarily stayed out of sight, hiding in a small depression on the side of the road, and did not rashly make any surprise attacks.

In the current state, the three squads have distanced, which can not only support each other, but also provide early warning, and continue to fish in troubled waters when the squad is exposed.

It didn't take too long, and Zhao Tie rushed over with all the people. It turned out that from the confession of the captive, it was learned that there was only one large class of imperial troops stationed in the watchtower in front.

After a few people discussed, Zhao Tie took off the clothes of the Imperial Army, changed into civilian clothes, and walked towards the watchtower with seven or eight "detective teams".

On the main road, a small two-story artillery tower made of adobe is stuck at the fork in the road leading to the other place.

The sun was hanging in the sky, and the Imperial Allies on duty on the turret saw people coming on the road.

Seven or eight elephants are ordinary people, but looking at the swaggering pace, they don't look like ordinary people's guys, coming towards the small turret. And farther away, it seems that there is still a team of devils still following behind.

According to the order of Shangfeng, the turret was to search and interrogate passers-by on the main road.

As soon as a few people approached the turret, the sentries guarding the turret tore open their throats and shouted and asked. But the other party was like wind in his ears, no one answered, and strode forward as usual.

The sentries of the Imperial Association Army were in a hurry, but they didn't dare to shoot people casually, so they fired warning shots into the air.

After two gunshots, the men were frightened, and they had to answer, but their tone was as hard as a stone.

revealed his identity, and someone came over with his documents to confirm, and the Imperial Association Army knew that he had made the wrong object.

Several people scolded and rushed to the turret, and the leader and the most fierce one was a guy with a strong body and eyes like buns.

"x, blind dog's eye? Who wants you to shoot casually? Tell your captain to come to me! "This guy has a hard tongue and a rough tone, so powerful that he really wants to eat a person in one bite, and he doesn't pay attention to the people in the turret at all.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, several Imperial Allies hurriedly ran back to report. When the puppet army squad leader heard this, he knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, and hurriedly ran out in three steps and two jumps.

Since it was a plainclothes team, he wanted to explain the reason for the shooting, and just eliminate this misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, he walked up to this strong and fierce guy with a smile, and had just introduced his position and name. What the other party sent over was a few big slaps that slapped him, making his eyes burst into golden flowers.

"I ask you with a slap, ask how you educate the soldiers? Why do you dare to look down on plainclothes teams like this? Lao Tzu lay down in the field for a night, hungry and angry with you......" The other party scolded loudly while fanning.

The squad leader of the puppet army knew that the plainclothes team was under the direct jurisdiction of the Japanese gendarmerie, and when dealing with this group of guys who ate people and did not spit out bones, he could only swallow his anger and accept it. He hurriedly smiled and begged: "Yes, yes, all the responsibility is borne by me, and I complain that I am not strict in discipline." I will punish them severely! ”

The plainclothes agent who beat the man stretched out his left palm with five fingers outstretched, and turned his head to look at his companion behind him. smiled: "This thing is the top thing!" His companions laughed with him "hahaha".

The puppet army squad leader smiled bitterly and gritted his teeth secretly, hoping that these bastards would get out of here quickly.

But these plainclothes spies didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and after the leader laughed at the puppet army, he glared at him again, and said: "Get some hot water or something, staring at your eyes and looking stupid, didn't you see Taijun behind?" ”

Taijun, there are devils to follow. The puppet army squad leader churned in his heart, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to let the plainclothes spies into the turret, and ordered his subordinates to boil water and cook quickly.

There was not much time, and the seven or eight devils behind caught up, and there was already an imperial army outside the turret that respectfully greeted them.

"Taijun has worked hard, brothers have worked hard." The squad leader of the puppet army nodded with a smile on his face, and kept saying good things.

"There's hot water in it, and the meal will be available in a while. It's just that it's in a hurry, and the hospitality is not good. Please bear with me and bear with me. After speaking, he laughed two or three times without laughing.

Although the guy with the mustache on his lips is a devil, he doesn't look too fierce, and with the laughter of the puppet army squad leader, he grinned, waved his hand, and walked arrogantly towards the turret with a few people.

The other plainclothes detectives had already scattered in all directions, quietly watching the Imperial Army.

"Please come in, please come in." The squad leader of the puppet army took a step forward and opened the door of the turret.

Several Japanese soldiers hugged the mustache into the turret, and the mustache looked around, and made eye contact with the leader of the plainclothes detective team, with a sneer on his face.

Immediately, the plainclothes detectives and the devils all changed their faces, drew their pistols, picked up their bayonets, and shouted: "Don't move, stay honest." ”
