Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 19 Hunting and Counter-Hunting
Shigeru Ito finished nibbling half of the sweet potato in his hand in a few clicks, and even the sweet potato skin went into his stomach.
Takayuki Noguchi handed half of his sweet potato to Shigeru Ito, who licked his lips and blocked Takayuki Noguchi's hand back, although he was hungry and wanted to eat, but he knew better that Takayuki Noguchi was more important than him in this contest between hunter and prey, so it was more important for Takayuki Noguchi to maintain his strength.
Soon after the end of the Battle of Erlongshan, the 19th detachment found that a small group of Japanese soldiers had slipped away at night, and although Takayuki Noguchi tried his best to cover up the tracks, they were still discovered after dawn, so a contest between prey and hunters began in Erlongshan, and by now, a full five days had passed.
In the past five days, Ito Shigeru and his entourage did not dare to take the big road, nor did they dare to go to the big villages, but could only drill the ravine, take the small road, and only when they encountered scattered farm hunters did they dare to grab some food, but even so, they were repeatedly pursued and killed by the nineteen detachments, and after five days of life and death struggle, there were only three people left in Little Japan, Ito Shigeru, Noguchi Takayuki and Kono Jun.
Jun Kono finished nibbling on half of the sweet potato in his hand, and went to the cellar to look for something to eat, but Zuihou naturally found nothing.
Yin Shangwen, the county magistrate of the Longkou anti-Japanese democratic government, is very competent, and with his efforts, the common people of the entire Longkou County have been completely mobilized, and all the grain that can be hidden has been hidden before the little Japan went to the countryside to sweep up, even the hunters and farmers in the deep mountains are no exception.
Kono Jun came out of the cellar and cursed, drew his saber and pressed over to the old Orion tied to the pillar.
Seeing that the old hunter was about to die under Kono's sword, Noguchi Takayuki suddenly stood up and stopped Kono, Noguchi Takayuki opposed the indiscriminate killing of innocents from the bottom of his heart, and he stubbornly believed that the war should only be a contest between the soldiers of the two countries, and should not affect innocent civilians, especially the old and young, women and children.
Because of this, Takayuki Noguchi was assigned to the gendarmerie.
"Noguchi-san, get out of the way, I'm going to kill this pig."
"Kono-san, as a soldier, should not kill innocents indiscriminately."
"Innocent? The man of China hides the grain and makes us hungry, and he deserves to die."
"In short, let's kill a few fewer innocent civilians, because this will only increase the hatred of the Shina people for the Japanese Empire and the Imperial Army, and will only strengthen their determination to resist."
When Kono Jun was about to argue, Takayuki Noguchi suddenly raised his finger and signaled silence.
Shigeru Ito and Jun Kono were alert for a moment, and at the same time pulled out the Wanghachi box and lay down behind the door.
Takayuki Noguchi gestured to Shigeru Ito and Jun Kono, signaling them to leave through the back door, and then picked up the 38 big cover and covered it behind the door, Shigeru Ito and Jun Kono glanced at each other and walked away through the back door.

A moment later, Scar Er appeared not far away with a platoon.
"Old Uncle Li?" Scar Erhun didn't realize the danger, and walked forward with a big grin on his shoulder.
There was no reaction in the hut, Scar Er walked forward for dozens of meters, until he was less than fifty meters away from the hut, and then he suddenly realized the danger, although Uncle Li said that he was old, he was deaf and clear-sighted, so close, he should have heard it a long time ago, unless he went out hunting, but early in the morning, it was obviously impossible for Uncle Li to go out.
"Hidden" Scar Er realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned his head to give an order to the soldiers behind him.
However, it was already late, and almost before Scar Er's words fell, a gunshot suddenly rang out in his ears.
In the next moment, a tracer light had already shot through Scar's brow like lightning, and after the scorching warhead pierced the center of Scar's eyebrow, it lifted the back half of his skull away, and the brain tissue in the cranial cavity suddenly splattered out, like a blood flower that bloomed in an instant, full of cruel and cold beauty.
Takayuki Noguchi fired very quickly, and in just a few moments, he had already finished five rounds in the chamber.
Including the battalion commander Scartwo, the five officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment Battalion had already fallen in a pool of blood, and Takayuki Noguchi was really not blowing, not only the rate of fire was fast, but the marksmanship was amazingly accurate, and all five of them were shot in the eyebrows.
When the remaining 20 or so officers and soldiers reacted and opened heavy fire on the hut, Takayuki Noguchi had already moved, and when the rabbit fell, Takayuki Noguchi's figure had already disappeared into the dense forest.

Two hours later, the 5th Brigade arrived at this nameless col.
After examining the bullet wounds of Scar II and the other four officers and soldiers, Gao Shenxing said firmly: "It's him"
"Who is it?" Xu Nineteen's face was so gloomy that he could almost scrape frost, this caught these few little Japan's slips, the nineteenth detachment had sacrificed a full 69 officers and soldiers, and the danger of this group of small Japan had far exceeded his expectations, but the more this was the case, the more he couldn't let go of this little Japan.
Gao Shenxing said: "It was the guy who shot me at the head of Qingyang City when he saved Liu Chang, and I also fought with him in the gap in Nanjing Shuiximen." ”
"Is that him?" Xu Shijiu said, "This is a real sharpshooter"
"Lao Xu, withdraw the main force of the detachment, although there are not many of these little Japanese, it is very difficult to deal with, this is not something that can be lost with a large number of people, and then using a large force to search and suppress is not only futile, but also will add a large number of unnecessary casualties, this matter will be handed over to the 5th Brigade, and only the 5th Brigade can deal with them."
Li Mu expressed his position on the spot and said, "Captain, leave it to us." ”
Xu Shijiu was a little worried and asked, "Boss Gao, can the 5th Brigade work?" ”
If Gao Shenxing was not injured, or his injuries had completely healed, there might still be a chance to hunt this group of little Japan, but now that Gao Shenxing is not the backbone, Xu Shijiu really doesn't have much confidence in the 5th Brigade, and Li Mu is not a little worse than Gao Shenxing.
Gao Shenxing said: "Lao Xu, don't you think this is an excellent opportunity for military training? ”
"Captain, just promise, we will never let you down." Li Mu asked again.
Xu Shijiu's eyes swept over Li Mu, Yan Laosi, Calf, Wang Yidao and the little madman one by one, and found that the five people were all eager to try, and then thought about it, the 5th Brigade had never experienced a real test since it became an army, and only by fighting with real masters would they really grow up.
"Okay, but you have to be careful"
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." Li Mu stood upright and saluted.
Seeing Li Mu disappear into the dense forest with four special combat members, Xu Shijiu turned his head and said to Yin Shangwen: "Shangwen, you must also mobilize the township party in all districts and townships as soon as possible, and you must collect the autumn grain before the arrival of the small Japanese reinforcements, and all regiments belonging to the 19th detachment will also fully cooperate in the harvest of autumn grain." ”
Yin Shangwen said: "Commander, you can rest assured." ”

Takayuki Noguchi copied the 38 big cover and returned to the valley ghostly.
Shigeru Ito and Jun Kono came out of hiding and asked, "Noguchi-san, how are you?" ”
Takayuki Noguchi said: "The main force of Shina has withdrawn from the mountains, and the blockade has been lifted. ”
"So, we can go back to the county seat?" When Ito Shigeru heard this, he was overjoyed, he had had enough of hiding in the mountains for the past five days, almost a savage-like life.
"Not yet." Takayuki Noguchi said, "Although the main force of Shina has withdrawn, there is a small force left, just now in the front of the mountain pass, I took a look at them, this small force is not much, only four or five people, but all of them are powerful people, this is likely to be the special forces of the Shina army." ”
"There are also special forces in the Chinese army?" Shigeru Ito.
"Maybe, maybe not, but we must not take it lightly." Takayuki Noguchi said.
"Do you want to go around in the mountains with this small army?" Jun Kono asked.
"That's not necessary." Takayuki Noguchi waved his hand and said, "Ito-san, Kono-san, you guys are hiding here, and I will try to lure this small group of Shina troops away, and when they are far away, you will try to leave."
"Noguchi-san, what about you? Can you handle them alone? Shigeru Ito asked.
Takayuki Noguchi smiled and said, "Ito-san, don't worry about me, I can't deal with them, but if you just want to get rid of them, it's not difficult." ”
