Chapter 532: Stealing a Ship
When Huo Xiaoshan led the team on the way to bomb the Japanese army's heavy artillery, it was not yet dark, and dozens of large and small ships were moored on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ships were guarded by a Japanese squad, which was fortunate compared to the other Japanese troops, because the task of transporting troops was completed today, and they could spend the night on board instead of suffering in the muddy water.
It was past dinner time, and two Japanese soldiers were gobbling up food from the Japanese tin cans in a wooden boat.
The two Japanese soldiers were obviously hungry, and they both turned the can upside down and clasped it in their faces, licking it with their tongues, but finally licked up the last bit of food inside.
"I'm sorry, Kawaguchi-kun, Saiten-kun, I can only provide you with this food." A Japanese soldier who was watching their starving ghosts eat like they were eating for life said.
Hearing what people were saying, the two Japanese soldiers who were holding the canned food box to their faces hurriedly put down the empty iron box and showed their faces.
It's really called Kawaguchi, because his real name is Kawaguchi Kanichi, but it's not Zhaiten, but Shen Chong!
"Kojima-kun is polite, this is good, very good." Shen Chong skillfully politely used Japanese, but in his hand, he unceremoniously took the military kettle handed over by Yukio Kojima, took a big sip, and then handed it to Kawaguchi Kanichi.
The two sides have already introduced each other just now, and the Japanese soldier who gave Shen Chong and Zhai Teng canned food is called Yukio Kojima.
Shen Chong and Kawaguchi Kanichi mixed into the Japanese army, naturally dressed as Japanese soldiers, and they came to the Japanese army's ship.
In Huo Xiaoshan's plan, it was interlocking, Huo Xiaoshan would blow up the cannon in the middle of the night with small stones, but before that, Shen Chong and Kawaguchi Kanichi's team had to get a ferry.
Now the north bank of the Xinqiang River is under the occupation of the Japanese army, and if it is not possible to get enough ships to cross the river after the bombing, it means that the entire battalion will have to face the encirclement and interception of the Japanese army, which has an absolute superiority in numbers.
Therefore, the ferry boat was very important, so Shen Chong and Kawaguchi Kanichi mixed into the Japanese army guarding the ship with their own detachment.
The reason for the two of them was that the truck used by their team to transport troops on the way had fallen into a mud puddle without accident, and they had come over first to see if they could find something to eat, and even if they couldn't find anything to eat, they hoped that the kind Imperial Japanese Army would leave something to eat for their "companions" behind them.
And this small island Yukio was sent by the Japanese officer in charge of guarding the ferry to deliver canned food to the two of them.
After all, Kawaguchi Kanichi is a real Japanese soldier who came over anyway, and he is very familiar with the inside of the Japanese army, and he happens to be a fellow countryman with this small island Yukio, both from the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
When the fellow saw the fellow, he naturally narrowed the distance, so how could Yukio Kojima think that his fellow countryman is now the heart of Japan.
Shen Chong's half-pulled Japanese ancestry makes his Japanese pronunciation extremely pure, so his combination with Kawaguchi Kanichi is generally invincible in the operation of blending into the Japanese army.
"Kojima-kun, there aren't many ferries!" Kanichi Kawaguchi was the first to bring up the topic after drinking water.
"The more than 20 small boats were dragged by land, the dozen or so larger motorboats were driven down from the upper reaches of the river, and some of the wooden boats were snatched from the hands of the people in the upper reaches of the river." Yukio Kojima did not doubt that he opened his mouth to introduce.
"How can there be a motorboat coming down?" Shen Chong asked puzzled.
"The Chinese army did not completely destroy the road in the upper reaches, it was our army that was transported down the river by car, and it was not only these, but when crossing the river a few days ago, it was damaged by the Chinese army, and there is so much left, in my impression, the dignified Japanese Imperial Army is so shabby for the first time." Yukio Kojima sighed.
Obviously, this Kojima Yukio is either a chatter or a real person in the Japanese, the kind of absolute question-and-answer type.
"Who else is in Kojima-kun's family?" Kanichi Kawaguchi changed the subject again.
After Huo Xiaoshan captured another group of Japanese soldiers last time, Kawaguchi Kanichi actively participated in the work of persuading the Japanese soldiers anyway, so he was familiar with chatting with Japanese soldiers.
After all, he was Japanese, and although he decided to help the Chinese army end this damned fascist war with his own modest strength, he was also unwilling to let the Chinese kill Japanese soldiers who might repent.
"There are grandparents, parents, and a little sister at home, alas, I am so homesick, this damn war!" Yukio Kojima answered Kawaguchi's question, and cursed the war by the way.
But apparently he also knew that the last sentence must not be heard by others, so he lowered his voice and glanced quickly at the largest motorboat where the Japanese officer was in the darkening sky.
No one paid attention to them, there were no Japanese troops on the adjacent wooden boats, and most of the Japanese soldiers went to rest on the larger motorboats after eating, after all, the bigger the boat on the river, the more stable, and no one liked to sleep and sway.
Neither Kanichi Kawaguchi nor Yukio Kojima continued the conversation and began to speak in their hometown dialect as they saw two Japanese soldiers approaching from the direction of the motorboat.
It was already dark, and when they got closer, the three people on the wooden boat found that one of the two people who came was carrying two buckets of white rice, which was used by Shen Chong and Kawaguchi to satisfy their hunger after their team rushed over.
Another Japanese soldier was sent to serve as a guard with Yukio Kojima.
The Japanese officers of their squad apparently didn't think there was any need to wait for a team about the same number as they would not know when they would be able to get here, and they needed a rest after a tiring day.
As Kanichi Kawaguchi and Yukio Kojima spoke, it was finally completely dark.
Shen Chong didn't talk to the Japanese soldier who came to stand guard, but his attention was always on which ship there was a Japanese soldier.
Shen Chong was pleased to observe that there were no Japanese troops on these wooden boats, and perhaps he really didn't need to make a movement to get them away.
Because Huo Xiaoshan told him that this time his task was to lead someone to steal the ship, and it would be best not to be discovered by the Japanese army.
When deploying before the war, Huo Xiaoshan also said that all we have to do is four words: "Bomb the cannon and leave", as long as these four characters are achieved, it is a Japanese soldier who does not kill, it doesn't matter.
Shen Chong now understands the meaning of Huo Xiaoshan's words, that is, to keep a low profile, because the Japanese army has obviously begun to pay attention to them some time ago.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and from time to time Shen Chong pretended to muttered why his large army hadn't come yet, and pretended to be sleepy and began to yawn incessantly.
Under Shen Chong's demonstration, the Japanese soldier who later yawned for days, and finally couldn't stay up just after midnight, and no longer stood but sat in the cabin and began to nap.
Shen Chong smiled secretly when he saw this scene, people said that yawning is contagious, and it is true, he proved with his own leading demonstration that yawning is not only contagious, but also transnational contagious regardless of nationality.
It's just that Yukio Kojima is not sleepy, and he is still reminiscing about his life at home with Kawaguchi Kanichi.
Finally, in the darkness of the night, there was the sound of rustling footsteps in the mud,
"Here they are." Shen Chong said in a low voice, and he got off the boat and went forward to greet him.
In the darkness, Kojima Yukio could hear Shen Chong's vague and low voice ask a question, and then there was a reply in the same low voice, and after a while, Kung Fu Hei pressed a large number of people to come to Kojima Yukio and their ship.
After Shen Chong got on the boat again, Yukio Kojima suddenly felt a sudden lightness on the wooden boat, and then he heard a noise.
It wasn't loud, like the sound of someone trying to go to the middle of the river to touch the fish and try to go into the deep water.
But Yukio Kojima saw a dark shadow in the back boat falling into the river through the faint moonlight.
That position was where the soldier who stood guard with him later sat and snoozed.
Naotake fell into the water, no, it looks like he was thrown!
Yukio Kojima was shocked, but before he could think about shouting loudly, a military thorn was already pressed against his throat, and then a hand covered his mouth.
Yukio Kojima was instantly blindsided, because he knew that the only person who could move to him so close was the fellow named Kanichi Kawaguchi whom he had just met.
The Japanese soldiers on the motorboat were still asleep, but they didn't notice that the wooden boat below the river they were in suddenly moved, and it was being pushed into the deep water.
There were no people on the boat, no one to play the oars, no one to rock, but the boat slowly drifted downstream under the influence of the river.
