According to Kato, Lijiatun, where the Kusunno squadron was stationed, was not an important military strategic location, so Shibata of the Japanese army felt that there was no big problem in handing it over to a squadron that was lacking.

This was the opinion of the Japanese commander, and in the eyes of ordinary Japanese soldiers, it was much more comfortable to have a shelter from the wind and rain in this windy and rainy weather than those days when they were in the trenches and squatting in the water. Moreover, this is an inhabited village, and the Kusunno squadron is even more convenient for stationing, and from time to time Japanese troops will break into people's houses and ask for wine, and for a while, in the storm, Japanese songs will be sung in the wind.

Watch the army winding its way down the mountain road in the torrential rain. Kato was a little worried, if he came out by himself, would there be reinforcements and redeployment of the Japanese army? Now go back and what if you happen to run into it? Thinking of this, he cautiously asked Zhao Yun, who was following him in the shadows: "My lord, is our large army preparing to attack?" If there is a signal from the tunzi, then the squadrons on both sides will definitely be reinforced......"

Zhao Yun glanced at him indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, you just lead the way." Just put these people down quietly, I don't like to kill. ”

Kato chicken pecked rice and nodded: "Hey! ”

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhao Yun stayed on a small hill outside Tunzi, watching Kato's figure disappear into the rain, and his heart was uncertain. This is the first time that Zhao Yun has commanded a team to attack and resist the Japanese invaders, and those previous experiences belong to commanding operations, and he has actually come to the front line to fight externally, which is the first time. Zhao Yun was calm on the one hand, and at the same time he looked back at Shao Lao Er and the other personal guards, and he felt confident in his heart. Without him, the anti-Japanese war dramas of later generations described the Japanese army as too "literary", but this time in the real face, Zhao Yun was a little nervous.

Kato and his group of five people, shaking a flashlight, walked to the gate of Lijiatun, not yet close to the city wall. A figure stumbled out of the grass on the side of the road: "Kato-kun, isn't it you?" Did you find anything? Don't hurry back to the camp yet. ”

Kato heard that this was one of his fellow countrymen, who had been in a squad before. This person is quite brave and dares to fight, but once he beat a squadron leader after drinking, and as a result, he was beaten to the end, and he worked hard below the rank of military officer for several years. When he went out of the barracks tonight, Kato also greeted him, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, this guy was actually sent out to be a "dark whistle".

Kato paused, lowered his voice and shouted, "Is it Yamada-kun?" I didn't find anything, but I just caught two Chinese people selling seafood on the way back, and they are going to go back to cook kelp soup and drink it, do you want to drink it? I'll come later if I want to. ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Yamada emerged from the grass, followed by a short soldier.

"It's a double whistle!" Seeing two people coming out, Kato was slightly startled, and generally set up a mobile whistle, plus a dark whistle is already quite vigilant. I didn't expect this Nanye to be so careful, and even the secret post outside the tunzi was arranged with two people. If you thought there was only one secret outpost just now, and you rashly did it, it would definitely alarm the Japanese troops in the tunzi.

Hearing that it was beneficial, Yamada turned around and said a few words to the short man's men, and then came over in a hurry. As he walked, he said, "Your kid is so lucky at all times." Well, hurry back and do it. The rain was so heavy that I almost fell into the pond. ”

Kato's eyes glanced at the dark grass, glanced at the two disguised camp warriors behind him, and smiled awkwardly at Yamada, "Let's go, a few of us are also tired and almost lying down, and our bodies are covered in mud." ”

The place where they were located was more than 20 meters away from the Zhaimen, and there was a slope to cover it, and in the dense darkness of the weeds, the patrol of the Zhaimen noticed that there were people here, and then slowly opened the door for another ten minutes.

However, when they heard that there was kelp, everyone turned over the boxes and cabinets to toss up the "supper". There were also two Japanese soldiers who went to the old Wang's house to make tofu in Tunzikou, and they also got two loads of fresh tofu. Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the firewood inside the house was warm, and there was soup to drink. It didn't take long to not sleep, and the soldiers who were still on duty flocked to it.

Fortunately, the two loads of kelp were enough, and there was not enough tofu during the period, so the Japanese army went to grab it again. However, after more than an hour of busy work, the five Kato did not drink a mouthful of soup, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers except Yamada drank happily.

"Yamada-kun, why don't you taste it!" Kato saw that Yamada was holding a bottle of yakiniku knife in his hand, and handed it over with a bowl of soup.

"No, no, I've got this." Yamada burped and shook the bottle in his hand.

"Oh, this is a rarity, by the way, Yamada-kun, you've been here for so long, do you want to go back to the sentry!" Kato saw that Yamada refused to drink the soup, so he could only find a way to break him away.

"Sentry?" Yamada was startled by Kato at first, and he was stunned for a while before he figured out the situation. glared at Kato fiercely, and then took another sip into the wine bottle, "Whoever likes to go in this kind of weather, who goes." If you dare to give me military justice, then I will get drunk again and beat that Nanye. ”

Seeing that Yamada didn't have any intention of leaving, Kato shook his head and sighed, turned back to his subordinates, and whispered, "Just light your hand and knock you out." ”

Not long after, Zhao Yun entered Lijiatun, and without alarming the villagers, all a squadron of the Japanese army was captured. The mobile sentinels drank the soup and fell asleep in a daze, and the gate had already been occupied by the samurai who touched it in the night. By the time a group of samurai armed with cold weapons put their swords on the necks of the sleepy Japanese soldiers, resistance had become useless. didn't kill anyone, with the help of Kato's "internal responses", Zhao Yun quickly took Lijiatun, but the time had already passed twelve o'clock, and the pointer had already begun to move towards half past twelve.

"Kato-kun, quickly lead Squadron Leader Kusuno, go to the station of the Muto squadron, and change the guard." Waiting for the monks to complete their "reform", Zhao Yun announced the next order to Kato and Kusuno.

"Changing guards?" Kato's face turned a little pale, and he glanced at Zhao Yun unnaturally. Unlike Kusuno's squadron, Muto's squadron is a heavy infantry squadron, which was originally responsible for Lijiatun's fire support, and the artillery of the entire Kimura brigade is in his hands. And the important point is that Muto is a descendant of Kimura, and he originally had the task of "assisting in the defense" of Li Jiatun. For Muto, there is only rescue, and there is no such thing as changing guards. If you go to "change the guard" for no reason, it is obviously to tell the other party that something is wrong here.

Zhao Yun said coldly: "He will obediently change his guard, it just depends on your cooperation." This is a warrant for changing guards, you just need to transfer them out of the Li family's grave, and the rest will be handed over to us. ”

"This is General Takeuchi's warrant!" Kato and Kusuno looked at the warrant suspiciously, and were immediately shocked, could it be that General Takeuchi was also Zhao Yun's "own person"?

Zhao Yun seemed to see their doubts, and said with a wry smile: "If Takeuchi is also my person, there is no need to fight this battle." This is a warrant obtained from within the White Guards, but the content of the above has been changed. The paper, stamps, handwriting, and ciphering are all real. ”

Kusuno nodded, "We promise to complete the mission, but if Kato-kun and I tie themselves all to the battle, I hope that the adults will spare their lives." ”

This Nanye's plea was beyond Zhao Yun's expectations, and he couldn't help but take a closer look, but he saw that this person had a big waist and a round waist, and he was powerful, and he had a lot of tattoos on his face full of horizontal meat, and his face was quite vicious. is completely a "wicked" face, it is said that such a person is not a "good person", how can he intercede for others?

Kusuno said with a wry smile, "Muto saved my life on the battlefield of Japan and Russia!" And before I joined the army, I had always been mixed in the rivers and lakes, paying attention to the word "righteousness". ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I understand, just do as you say." But if you can't tie people up, or if it affects my plans, then I won't take them prisoner. ”

Kato and Kusuno nodded together as if they were pecking rice: "Hi Yi! ”

Nanye asked Zhao Yun for two jars of good wine, and took Kato and ten Japanese soldiers plus twenty samurai in makeup to pick up some food and go to the station of Muto's squadron to "pull relations".

Don't look at Nan Ye respectfully in front of Zhao Yun, as soon as he arrived at the station of the Muto squadron, Nan Ye first gathered the six subordinates guarding the entrance, casually found a reason, lost his temper, tied five, and left only a reddened soldier with two cheeks to pass on the message.

Later, the eight soldiers who were on duty at the open and dark sentry positions near the entrance were transferred and bundled up. Then take down the soldiers who patrolled here one by one.

For a whole quarter of an hour, it went quite smoothly, and most of the Japanese soldiers could only cooperate obediently no matter what they thought in their hearts, anyway, Kumano's squadron leader was there. Although Nanye is not the squadron leader of their squadron, they all belong to the same brigade, and they all know that the relationship between the squadron leader and his own squadron leader is relatively good, so he extinguished his resistance and tied his hands. Anyway, someone had already reported to Squadron Leader Muto, and when the squadron leader of his own family came, Kusuno still had to let them go.

Seeing that they all "happily" obeyed their orders, the monks who came with the team naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity and seize the time to "reform". By the time two short, obviously ring-legged gunmen appeared in the distance, the sentries had completely engaged Zhao Yun's "own people".

The two officers walked very slowly, looking around and bewildering all the way. When he saw Nan Ye from afar, he lowered his voice and asked angrily: "Nan Ye-kun, you didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and you came to my station, what kind of fame?" ”

Kusuno gave Muto a military salute and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Squadron Leader Muto is here, let them go!" This is not so much an order for the soldiers behind him as it is for Muto.

After seeing his soldiers untied, they all walked towards him, but Nan Ye still stood in place with the team. Muto's suspicion has diminished a lot, the horizontal flesh on Muto's face shook slightly, glanced at Nanye, and asked suspiciously: "Nanno-kun, I don't know what my subordinates have done wrong?" It's worth such a big fire from Kusuno-kun! ”

Kusuno didn't answer, glanced at Kato beside him, and slowly walked towards Muto alone. In Nanno's opinion, the easiest way to get rid of Muto and the two is to fire crossbow arrows in unison, and the two of them were caught off guard and fell to the ground with arrows. But one of them is Muto, so Kusuno can't do this.

But Muto must be captured, and he must be quickly, otherwise Muto's shouts will alarm the entire Japanese garrison; After all, only twenty or thirty people have been "reformed", and for the entire Muto squadron, it is only a small number of people.

Kato saw that Kusuno made a fist gesture behind his back, and after a thought, he suddenly took off the raincoat on his body and threw it behind him: "Do it!" After shouting, the whole person threw himself into the rain curtain and rushed towards Muto.

Muto and the others were startled when they saw a person suddenly rush out of the darkness behind Kumano, and rushed to their eyes with swiftness and incoherence. Muto was already on guard, and instinctively drew his gun when he saw this. However, what Muto didn't expect was that Jun Cao, who was originally by his side, suddenly fell to the ground. At the same time, he was also in the back of his head, and when he turned his head, a black stick shadow flashed.

Although Muto seems to be fat, he has many years of battlefield experience, and he slipped on the soles of his feet on a slippery rainy day, sticking to the stick shadow, and slipped out of the attack range of the stick shadow behind him. When he turned around and saw that the person who attacked him turned out to be his own soldier who had just been released by Kusuno, he couldn't help but be angry, "You ......" Before he finished speaking, Kato had already rushed over, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Muto's neck, and then suddenly twisted one arm, which made Muto silent.

At the same time, he tripped Muto to the ground with both feet. Before Muto could react, the soldiers under Muto's command tied him tightly with ropes.

"Hurry up, your lordship is waiting for us!" Ignoring Muto's "why" look at him, Kusuno stepped forward quickly and urged the monks.

With Muto's cooperation, Kusuno and the others easily surrendered the weapons of the Muto squadron in the name of "unified care" of weapons, and then the samurai of the following brigade swarmed up and incorporated the Muto squadron into the sequence of "their own people".

The Shirt Squadron was stationed at the Kidnapping Cave on the left side of Lijiatun, and forty minutes later, the Kusuno and Muto squadrons, which had marched rapidly, rushed to the Kidnapping Cave. Seven or eight open and dark whistles were "lifted" along the way, and hundreds of people finally came to the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave was temporarily reinforced, and the new earth excavated from the cave was piled up around it, forming a mound more than one person high. One is to prevent rainwater from pouring into the hole, and the other is to facilitate defense. Above the mound, in a ring machine-gun fort, there were two Japanese soldiers in raincoats and heavy machine guns, deaf and dozing.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, two soldiers rose in horror, and pointed their guns at the figure in the rain: "Who is it?" Password! ”

"Bastard!" Muto's big thorn flashed out of the rain curtain, and he slapped two slaps on the front and back, and one of the soldiers who slapped him had a gold star in his eyes.

Seeing that it was the two squadron leaders who were there, the other soldier could only look at them with sympathy. Nanye shouted, "Go and report to your squadron leader, I just received an order from General Takeuchi, and our brigade is going to be adjusted!" ”

"Hey!" The soldier immediately turned around and left, "Wait" Kusuno suddenly called out to him, "Aren't you four people in a post?" What about the other two? ”

One of the soldiers replied, "The two of them have just gone in to spread the word, and Captain Kimura and two of his own soldiers have arrived, so how about picking up the grain cellar inside?" ”

Muto was taken aback: "The captain is here?" ”

"Yes, just a moment." The two soldiers were depressed, what was wrong tonight, they all ran here.

was depressed, suddenly the back of his head was stuffy, and both of them fainted. Two samurai figures flashed on the mound.

Kato hurriedly stepped forward: "It's not good, Kimura doesn't know what is crazy, the third watch in the middle of the night came out to find the grain cellar, let's wait first......"
