After dawn, more than 300 soldiers in ragged clothes, thin and unscathed, carrying Hanyang-made soldiers on their backs, all lined up crookedly.

In a clearing, more than a dozen corpses lay down.

Commander Liu Changhou yelled like crazy, and Liu Changhou decided to take the whole regiment to attack Li Jixian's troops.

Zhang Lei resolutely stopped and said loudly: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and now it's no different from a moth to a fire, look at your soldiers, how can you have the ability to defeat Li Jixian?" ”

In Liu Changhou's room, Liu Changhou looked at Zhang Lei's eyes and said, "I can't swallow this breath!" I don't have the face to see my wife! No face to see my soldiers! ”

Zhang Lei said: "I know that you are a bloody man, but now the situation is extremely unfavorable for you, and if you act rashly, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out." Let's learn Goujian! We should try our courage and reorganize our military affairs well, and as we said yesterday, we will strengthen the army. Only when the army is strong can you take revenge. ”

Liu Changhou gritted his teeth and said: "Mom, I have a scar, Lao Tzu and Li Jixian are incompatible!" Don't take revenge, don't take revenge, swear not to be a man. ”

Zhang Lei said: "I will give you the gold bars and guns immediately, and I will move to the vicinity of the Kangqiao River. ”

Liu Changhou was so moved that he almost wanted to kneel, and said with tears in his eyes: "I really want to call you my father, at this time, only you are the only one who helps us and shows me the way." ”

Zhang Lei said: "Your revenge is also my revenge, I will find a way to avenge you, rest assured, I will slaughter this beast once I have the opportunity." ”

Three small boats rowed forward in the river, escorted by two members of the Einsatzgruppen on each side of the river, and reconnoitred the situation. When encountering an impassable area, the people on the shore get on the boat, and then go ashore after passing.

The enemy situation is complicated, and Zhang Lei must take strict precautions.

Zhang Lei looked at Lynch, who had a white cloth wrapped around his neck, and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?" ”

Lynch said: "It's okay, it only hurt the skin, and it didn't cut into the flesh." ”

Zhang Lei said: "The methods of the people in the special high class are so poisonous, and they can even get out of the way with their black hands. ”

Lynch said: "If Li Jixian's people hadn't robbed the camp, I wouldn't have lived." ”

Wang Yueying suddenly said: "Captain Zhang, it was Captain Lin who blocked this assassination for you, and the target of the special high class is definitely you." ”

Zhang Lei looked at Wang Yueying, nodded and said, "It must be that when Captain Lin was making rounds, someone called him the captain, and when the little Japanese agent heard it, he mistakenly thought that Captain Lin was me." ”

Wang Yueying nodded and said, "I think so too, this agent must have been hiding not far from our barracks at that time." ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "This person is not tall, and his absolute strength is not too strong." ”

Wang Yueying nodded and said, "Yes, if the absolute strength is strong, he will drag Captain Lin away." ”

Zhang Lei said: "From today onwards, no strangers are allowed to approach our team, and everyone must be vigilant. Urine goes into the river, feces are buried, and cooking is burned on the boat, and it must be done so that no trace is left. We passed through the junction of Li Jixian and the Japanese puppet defense zone and went directly to the Kangqiao River. ”

After arriving at the Kangqiao River, he ordered the team to take up camp in the woods near the village next to the river embankment, and sent two groups of people to reconnoiter along the river.

The scouts returned just before dawn.

Zheng Jinchi drew a sketch according to the description of the scouts.

There is a canal between the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, and there is a railway bridge near the Grand Canal, which is part of the Shanghai-Nanjing line. There is an ancient town on the Grand Canal called Kangqiao Town, which is Chen Yuanyuan's hometown. There is a large stronghold of Japanese invaders in Kangqiao Town, with multiple watchtowers, and a small team of Japanese invaders stationed under the railway bridge.

The place where they are stationed is called Xihewan, there are not a few Japanese invaders here, there is an ancient stone bridge on the river, and the Japanese invaders are mainly stationed in Tongjiang Town, an ancient town where the Kangqiao River enters the Yangtze River. In Tongjiang Town, there was a squadron of Japanese invaders, a regiment of puppet troops, and three large pillboxes.

The length of the river is about thirty miles.

On the west side of the river there is a gravel-paved road that can be used for cars and armored vehicles, connecting the towns of Kangqiao and Tongjiang.

There is a large island in the northwest and a small island in the northeast.

The Yangtze River is covered with reeds, and the beach is several kilometers wide, and there are many people who have fled there, building houses with reeds to live there to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

Zhang Lei was very familiar with the Kangqiao area, and after listening to what the scouts said, he felt very cordial.

The task force set off from Kangqiao to Suzhou for activities, and the situation has changed a lot when they come back this time. Zhang Lei can no longer act openly in Kangqiao Town. Dazuo, Zhang Tianheng and so many other high-ranking Japanese officials and spies were killed, the Japanese puppet army in Kangqiao Town must regard Zhang Lei as the biggest devil, once they know Zhang Lei's whereabouts, don't go out and hunt down Zhang Lei at any cost!

Zhang Lei looked at the sketch, and after listening to what the scouts said, he immediately decided to move to the Yangtze River, enter the tidal flats, disguise himself as a refugee, and stationed there. After figuring out the situation of Chao Tianwang, he turned around and crossed the river from the ancient stone bridge in Xihewan to find him.

You can't blindly cross the river, you must be prepared to be dumplings made by the Chao Heavenly King.

In the tidal flats along the Yangtze River, reeds three or four meters high are everywhere, and members of the special task force use the moonlight to harvest reeds with daggers to build simple sheds.

Most of them grew up in Jiangnan Water Town, and they are extremely familiar with reeds, especially Zhou Yong, who has been living by Yangcheng Lake and have been dealing with Yangcheng Lake since childhood.

Before dawn, more than 20 people lived in reed sheds.

After dawn, Zhang Lei arranged for Zhao Sixi to take people across the river to reconnoiter the situation of the Chaotianwang, arranged for Wang Yueying and Xiaohua to inquire about the situation from the refugees, and arranged for five people to go into the town to buy nails, rakes, hoes, shovels and other farm tools.

Wang Yueying Xiaohua came back to report, saying that the refugees were all from northern Jiangsu, most of them were from Taizhou, and that some people had been here for a few years, and they were both farming and fishing.

When Zhang Lei heard about fishing, Zhang Lei asked the two of them to go over and buy fishing gear from the refugees.

After the fishing gear was bought, a few people were sent to the beach puddle to catch some small trash fish, and the others dug pits in the ground and buried pots to cook food.

Zhang Lei and Xiaohua sat on the Yangtze River with fishing tools, while fishing, while observing the situation on the river.

In the Yangtze River, there are Japanese warships patrolling, and there are also many small fishing boats fishing.

Zhang Lei concluded that Chao Tianwang was very likely to have reached a peaceful coexistence agreement with the Japanese invaders, and from another aspect, Chao Tianwang was not far from being a traitor.

I found that there were fish eating grass on the shore, so I hung grass on the hook, and after a while, Zhang Lei actually hooked several grass carp of different sizes. It can be seen that in that era, the fishery resources in the Yangtze River were so abundant, and now if you go fishing in the Yangtze River, it is extremely difficult to catch fish.

Xiaohua couldn't stop laughing.

Just when Zhang Lei and Xiaohua were in high spirits of fishing, Wang Yueying brought a fleeing young rural woman to meet Zhang Lei.

The rural woman said that she had fled from other places, and that she had no place to live, and that she wanted to live with Zhang Lei's people, and that she did not eat and drink for nothing, and that she could help everyone wash clothes and cook food.

Zhang Lei saw that this woman was kind and felt that she was pitiful, so he didn't suspect it, so he agreed.

Who would have thought that this young woman would be Kawashima, the ace agent of the Japanese Special High School! It was Lin Qi who she assassinated in Liu Changhou's camp, Zhang Lei was very vigilant, but his compassion was stronger, and he didn't have to guard against this poor woman, even Wang Yueying, who had been trained as a special agent of the military command, actually looked away.

Once Kawashima moved in, it was equivalent to hiding a highly venomous king cobra by Zhang Lei's side, and Zhang Lei's situation was extremely dangerous. Kawashima didn't know Zhang Lei yet, but now it's okay, not only did he know Zhang Lei, but he also lived next to Zhang Lei.

Better an open enemy than a false friend.

Who would have thought that a kind village woman would strangle someone's neck with a thin wire and cut off someone's head?

When everyone ate together, Kawashima ate with a bowl on the side, as if he deliberately avoided listening to Zhang Lei and others.

When the scouts came back late to report to Zhang Lei, Kawashima also stayed aside, pretending not to care about everything at all.

No one was wary of Kawashima.

Kawashima's camouflage technique is really a must.

Kawashima is extremely patient, she wants to be able to enter this group is the first step, winning Zhang Lei's favor is the second step, and the third step is to take advantage of Zhang Lei's unpreparedness and use the thin steel wire hidden in the belt to strangle Zhang Lei's neck.

In her opinion, the army's encirclement and suppression were extremely risky, and the tidal flats were more than three kilometers wide, and the special task force could burrow into the reeds during the encirclement and suppression, and it would be too difficult to find them. The point is that Kawashima is extremely confident, she just wants to act independently, and acting independently is also the way she has always insisted on carrying out her tasks, in her opinion, Zhang Lei is already a dead person.

Zhang Lei is planning a plan to deal with the King of the Nest, the assassination will definitely not work, and he will definitely not be willing to be co-opted, can you meet him first and then make the next step?

How to meet him? Is it hard to break?
