Yamaki Ariichi said, "Lieutenant, the Sky Wolf is very secretive. They always fall behind him. Further on, there is the control area of the Zhi Na army, and it may not be easy for us to catch up with them. ”

"Lieutenant Report, we found a few suspicious people not far from here!"

"Oh?!" Saburo Sato asked, "Where are they?!" ”

The soldier replied, "It's by the river not far from here." ”

Saburo Sato pondered for a while and said, "Take me over to see!" ”

"Hey!" The soldier answered, and immediately led Saburo Sato to the small river not far away.

When Saburo Sato led the people to the creek under the guidance of the soldiers, a second lieutenant hurriedly ran in front of Saburo Sato and said, "Lieutenant Sato, these people want to run when they see us." I've got you! ”

Saburo Sato looked at the people squatting on the ground and asked, "Have you figured out who they are?!" ”

The second lieutenant replied, "They said they were from the Shishou Police Department. After the Americans were robbed at Shishou, their deputy chief was sent out to look for the Americans because he had some connections with bandits in the vicinity. Last night they spotted the Americans in the village in front. ”

Saburo Sato stepped forward and asked, "Where are the Americans you saw last night?!" ”

"Just half an hour before you came, they were gone!"

Saburo Sato then asked, "Where did they go?!" ”

"They went west. Look at the direction they are going should be Irikawa! ”

"Roar!" Saburo Sato thought for a moment and nodded and asked, "What else do you know?!" ”

The three bandits squatting on the ground glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison. Saburo Sato said, "Since you don't know, let's go on the road!" With that, Saburo Sato glanced at the soldier next to him when he turned around. The three soldiers understood and pulled the trigger at the same time.

After waiting for the gunfire to stop, Yamaki Arachi walked up to Saburo Sato and asked, "Lieutenant, to the west is the road into the river." What do we do next?! ”

Saburo Sato said, "I always had a feeling. Sky Wolf's series of actions are all confusing us. His ultimate goal was to take those Americans to Yan'an. After a moment's hesitation, Saburo Sato continued: "You record it!" Yamaki Arauichi immediately took out a notebook and a pen. Saburo Sato said: "It has now been learned that the Sky Wolf will protect the US envoy to Chongqing, please ask Your Excellency the General to mobilize the surrounding troops to block the Sky Wolf's way into Sichuan." ”

After recording the message, Yamaki Arauichi immediately handed the notebook to the telegraph soldier. After about half an hour, the telegraph soldier handed over the call back to Yamaki Ariichi. After reading the telegram, Yamaki Araichi said, "Lieutenant, Your Excellency the General has mobilized troops to surround the Sky Wolf. At the same time, the general asked us to find the wolf as soon as possible and capture the American envoy alive. It is reported that the operational plan for the counteroffensive against Burma has arrived in Yan'an, and now only the US envoy knows the details of the counteroffensive plan. ”

"Nani?!" Saburo Sato hurriedly took the telegram, quickly read the contents of the telegram at a glance, and said, "Everything in the sky wolf is under the surveillance of the people of the special high class. When did he get those things and send them to Yan'an?! ”

Yamaki Ariichi said: "Lieutenant, will the people of the special high class be mixed into the sky wolf The moment they were among them, it was already exposed. The wolf exposed him just to use him to put smoke bombs on us?! ”

After Saburo Sato heard Ariichi Yamaki's words, his brows furrowed tightly, and his mind kept recalling what happened during this time. After about a quarter of an hour, Saburo Sato came back to his senses and said, "It seems that we really underestimated the wolf!" Saying that, Saburo Sato smiled bitterly, calmed down, and said, "Yamaki-kun, since the wolf wants to mobilize us. Then I'll let him come out obediently. Pass my orders and arrest all the women, children, and young men from all the surrounding villages to the headquarters of the mountain brigade not far from here. Let the old men of the village help us find the wolf. ”

"Hey!" Yamaki Arashi responded, and said excitedly: "Lieutenant, I'll arrange it now!" ”

Although Saburo Sato's plan was good, he forgot that the Battle of Western Hubei had just ended. Although they occupied the area, because of the war, all the villages that could flee from here have already left. Now there are only some old people left in the village, and there are many villages where there are no people at all. After a whole day of busy work, when Yamaki Arachichi told Saburo Saburo about the results of his arrest, Sato Saburo's face instantly turned very pale, as if he was seriously ill, and we will skip this matter and not mention it for the time being.

When the devils were arresting people in the villages around Feng County, Hong Yu led people quietly through the blockade of the devils, and when it was close to noon, their group had already entered Hubei. Finding a place, Hong Woo gave the order to rest.

After setting up the sentry post, Hong Yu had just sat down, and Hawkes walked to Hong Yu's side and asked, "Hong, there are no outsiders here now, can you tell me the whereabouts of those things?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "My people have already sent these things to Yan'an. ”

"Oh?! My God?! It's unbelievable! As he spoke, Hawkes suddenly danced excitedly. Hong Yu continued: "Hawkes, when things arrive in Yan'an, then now your danger will increase!" Because you are the only one among you who knows the exact plan. In other words, you will truly become the target of the Japanese! ”

Hawkes immediately calmed down and asked, "What do we do now?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "From now on, you must follow us closely. Don't be left behind, or act on your own terms. ”

Hawkes replied, "That's no problem! ”

Hong Yu smiled at Hawkes, took out an American-made grenade from his pocket and handed it to Hawkes, saying, "You Japanese have caught it once." Know what they will do to you. ”

Hawkes took the grenade, smiled wryly, and said, "I hope I don't use this thing." ”

After lunch and a rest, Hong Yu set off with them. At dusk, Hong Yu led them to the vicinity of the Yangtze River. Looking at the calm river, Hong Yu was unconsciously stunned. At this moment, Gao Hai came to Hong Yu's side and said, "Commander, now all the boats have been searched by the little devils. If we want to get there, we can only swim in arms. ”

Hong Yu came back to his senses and asked, "Can't you get a boat?!" ”

Gao Hai shook his head and said, "Commander, there is no way on my side. Now it will only be up to Huzi to see if they can find the boat. ”

Hong Yu nodded slightly, raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, and asked, "On Changsha, how long does it take for the devil's patrol boat to go over?!" ”

Gao Hai replied, "About an hour." ”

"An hour?!" Hong Yu muttered, raised the binoculars and looked ahead. After about ten minutes, the devil's patrol boat slowly drove over the river. Hong Yu carefully observed the preparation of the patrol boat, his frowning brows slowly loosened, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Gao Hai saw Hong Yu suddenly laughing, and couldn't help asking, "Commander, what makes you so happy?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "Maybe we can use the devil's patrol boat." ”

"How to use it?!" Gao Hai looked at Hong Yu with a puzzled expression and asked.

Hong Yu said: "Keep it secret for the time being. I'll talk about it when Huzi comes back. ”

After about half an hour, Gao Hu ran back with three people in a hurry. Without waiting for Gao Hu to speak, Hong Yu asked, "The ship has been found?!" ”

Gao Hu nodded heavily, and couldn't hold back his excitement and replied, "Found it!" And there is more than one, there are five. Each boat can seat twenty people, enough for us. Saying that, the excited expression on Gao Hu's face disappeared, and he continued with a bitter face: "But there is a big problem. These five boats are all owned by Li Long, a fisherman. His son was the commander of the Imperial Association under Zhijiang under the devil. Worried that he Lao Tzu would be bullied by others, he helped him Lao Tzu set up a nursing team of more than 100 people. These more than 100 people are usually divided into two groups, one to watch the house and the other to guard the ship. According to what I have learned from the common people, Li Long's escort force bullies the weak and fears the hard, and specifically seeks trouble from the common people. ”

"Say no more!" Hong Yu interrupted: "To deal with the fishing tyrant, there will be opportunities in the future." Our mission now is to protect the US envoy to Yan'an. Saying that, Hong Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, and then said: "In another half an hour, it will be completely dark." After dark, you and Gao Hai will take twenty people to get me the boat. We crossed the river overnight. ”

"Yes!" Gao Hai and Gao Hu responded in unison. Gao Hai then asked, "Commander, the idea you just came up with, can you say it now?!" ”

Hong Yu smiled at Gao Hai and said, "Since there is a ship, that idea is useless." Saying that, Hong Yu's face changed, and then said: "Okay! Go ahead and prepare! If you bring the devil here, see if Lao Tzu doesn't pick your skin! ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, Gao Hai and Gao Hu quietly led people to the vicinity of the dock not far from the fishing village. Look out of the dock, the sentry posts walking back and forth, and the machine-gun positions at the entrance of the dock. Gao Hai said softly: "These guys are not simple?!" Even machine guns are available. If you want to get the ship out bloodlessly, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Gao Hu said: "It's not easy and there is no way, who let this be a death order issued by the regiment commander!" Saying that, Gao Hu's eyes lit up and said, "I have a way!" ”

Gao Hai reacted immediately and said, "You mean that Qiao makeup disguised himself as a devil and then disarmed them?!" ”

Gao Hu smiled "hehe" and said, "It's really the same thing that heroes see!" It seems that we are getting more and more acquiescent! ”

"Who has a tacit understanding with you?!" Saying that, Gao Hai raised his binoculars and looked at the dock for a while, silently counted the number of people, and said, "Isn't that right?!" Why are you such a small person?! ”
