So in war, it's very important to know the terrain.

And the Chinese troops, marching in a certain province in their own country, also have to rely on the maps left by the Japanese army during the invasion of China, and the topographic maps drawn by the Japanese about a certain place in China are more detailed and reliable than those drawn by the Chinese themselves.

So every time the Chinese troops defeated the Japanese devils, they first seized their radio stations, then they seized their maps, and then they surrendered their guns.

The instructor also recounted an incident that he had personally experienced.

During one of their marches, they used a map of captured Japanese people, on which a path was marked that led directly through the mountain in front of them.

But the instructors couldn't find this "shortcut" that could directly cross the mountain. I asked almost everyone who passed by, and they all said that they didn't know that there was such a road. Could it be that the map of Japan is wrong this time? Because even so many locals don't know.

Fortunately, they finally found an old man who was very familiar with the local terrain, and under the guidance of this old man, they cut through the thorny bushes for a long time, and a rugged path with extremely hidden shade and vines appeared in front of them. The map of the Japanese is right, a path so hidden that even the average locals don't know that the Japanese spies can accurately mark it on the map!

The instructor analyzed that the Japanese may be the most "delicate" people in the world, for example, when cooking food, it is even accurate to the gram, etc., and it is even more "delicate" to do research. Some Japanese scholars who have studied Chiang Kai-shek have clearly verified Chiang Kai-shek's residence, restaurants, and walking routes when he stayed in Japan; There are also Japanese scholars who specialize in studying the rituals to be performed by the crown prince during the first three days of the wake after the death of the Tang emperor, but no Chinese scholar has ever done such a "fine" study.

With the Japanese spy ninja-like camouflage ability and penetration ability, it is really not easy to find them out.

So how can you identify this terrible Japanese spy? The best way is to look at the toes, because of the different living habits, the Japanese have worn wooden slippers since childhood, so the big toe and other toes are very separated, obviously different from the Chinese. This point was also written into the US military's combat manual, called "How to Distinguish the Japanese from the Chinese."

Wang Zhengkui knew that with the astonishing ability of the Japanese spy, he must have been aware of his movements, so he used the name of fortune-telling to inquire about the truth and truth.

Why did these Japanese spies have to pretend to be fortune tellers? Because in this extremely closed village, almost all strangers from outside are fortune tellers, in this name, it is relatively unlikely to arouse suspicion, but these Japanese spies never expected that the blind man who told them fortunes was a strange person who could perceive heaven and understand human feelings.

Wang Zhengkui also sighed a little. As a senior officer of the Chinese army, he was pierced through the chest by a Japanese bullet during the battle, but fortunately he did not hurt the vital organs, and the rescue was timely, he picked up a life, thinking that his hometown has a unique terrain and is almost isolated from the outside world, which is a more ideal and safer place to recuperate. Unexpectedly, it was still impossible to get rid of these pervasive Japanese spies.

And the military intelligence that a high-ranking officer has is of immeasurable value to the enemy, so the Japanese did not hesitate to capture him. Wang Zhengkui was actually prepared, and among the pistols that he never left, there was a bullet that he kept for himself.

He cautiously asked the blind man, "Sir, can you tell me when these Japanese criminals will come up to the mountain to arrest me?" ”

The blind man didn't reply immediately, but just picked up the tea made by Wang Zhengkui and took a sip without hurrying. did not answer Wang Zhengkui's question directly, but said lightly: "More than 80 years ago, I was a fortune teller in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there was a wealthy businessman who had a good relationship with me, and I had very few friends, and he was an exception. Although he is rich and rich, he also has a strange fate, destined for a bad fate, whenever he is about to encounter danger, I will inform him in advance of the way to crack it, so he has been safe and sound, and he is very grateful to me. But once, he went to the capital to check his shop, and he walked for more than half a year. One day I was meditating, and suddenly I felt that he was about to be in trouble, but because the distance was too long, I couldn't tell him, so it was in vain. Soon, the bad news came, and he had died tragically. From this, I realized that everyone's life and death are actually in your own hands, and others can help you once or twice, but if you lose the ability to deal with danger and rely only on others to protect your life, then sooner or later you will be swallowed by bad luck. Helping one person too much may be just harming him. And the heavenly machine must not be revealed, if too much is leaked, the retribution will come, fortune-telling is only the stupidity of the mediocre and the laity, not the wise, brave as the general should do."

Wang Zhengkui listened quietly, he nodded thoughtfully, and after the blind man spoke these few words, the two of them didn't say anything, just sat silently and dryly, and a thousand words were already in silence.

After the blind man's nudge, Wang Zhengkui greatly increased his vigilance. He often took a walk to carefully examine the terrain around him, thinking about where he would enter the village if the Japanese raided and captured him.

First of all, the Japanese army generally does not choose the only road that communicates with the outside world, because if they enter the village from that path, even if they are far away from the village, they will be discovered, and the Japanese army will definitely avoid being exposed in advance.

With the Japanese army's combat and raid style, where will they come from?

After repeated observation and reflection, Wang Zhengkui determined the cliff behind the village where the Japanese army was most likely to choose for "landing."

Because ordinary villagers rarely come here, if you enter the village from this place, it is not easy to be discovered. In addition, although the terrain here may seem dangerous, if you climb from here, you will not have to take a few dozen miles of mountain roads to climb from here. And this kind of approaching the target in the shortest time and at the fastest speed is the most basic principle of sneak attack tactics.

So Wang Zhengkui was almost certain that if the Japanese wanted to capture him, this would be the best place they chose. Moreover, according to Wang Zhengkui's understanding, the troops stationed in Japan in this region have been trained in mountain warfare, and in particular, among their reconnaissance troops, there are many mountain climbers, so it should not be too difficult for them to climb such a cliff.

Will it be a sneak attack at night? Because the usual sneak attack is at night.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Zhengkui felt that it was more likely to act during the day. Because in such a complex and dangerous terrain, it is very inconvenient to move at night, and climbing at night is even more dangerous.

After considering these factors, Wang Zhengkui also had clear defensive measures, and he would focus on observing the movement behind the village and on the cliff every day. He also moved his parents and family to an empty house at the back of the village, not far from the cliff. This empty house, about a mile from the village, was originally lived by a hunter in the village, but because it was the off-season for hunting, the hunter returned to live in the village. The reason why he moved to this house was because he could easily observe the movement on the cliff, and if he spotted the Japanese army, he could easily escape from here to the mountain on the left.

For some reason, when the blind man fled to the mountains in advance, he didn't tell anyone except the patriarch, including Wang Zhengkui. Wang Zhengkui didn't expect the blind man to flee to the mountains, let alone when he would escape. But he persistently paid close attention to the cliff behind the village every day, because that was probably the breakthrough point of the Japanese army.

As he expected.

One day, he was exercising silently on the grass next to the cliff behind the village, when he suddenly heard a movement under the cliff, because although the cliff is very deep, because there are peaks on both sides, as long as there is a little sound, it will come up. So he hurriedly lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down, through the mist, he vaguely saw a few black spots on the cliff, slowly moving. Sure enough, it came! It must be Japanese!

He wanted to run home, but because his body had not fully recovered, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, which almost made him faint, and he hurriedly squatted on the ground, trying to adjust his breathing in order to calm himself down. After squatting on the ground for dozens of seconds, he gradually eased up.

When he walked to his nearby house, he simply said to his parents, "The Japanese are here." The parents immediately understood, because of all this, Wang Zhengkui had already told his parents in advance. As soon as they heard that the Japanese were coming, they immediately picked up the baggage they had prepared and went out to escape to the mountains in a hurry.

By the time the Japanese entered the village to toss, Wang Zhengkui's family had already hidden in the depths of the mountains, a very hidden place. In this way, Wang Zhengkui escaped, and if it were not for the blind man's reminder, he might have died without a place to be buried. But when Wang Zhengkui returned to the village and saw the huge disaster brought to the village by the Japanese burning **, his heart was bleeding. If it weren't for him, maybe these murderous Japanese would not have come to such a remote and peaceful village to harm the villagers. Although he was a division commander and had commanded thousands of troops, at this time, he felt so small and powerless, alone and weak, and he would pant badly if he ran a few steps. He really wanted to catch these Japanese devils who came to the village one by one, peel them off, rip out their hearts, and light sky lanterns. But it's so powerless.

How he hoped that the blind man, who was a master of the world, would reappear in the village as soon as possible, and he would be able to ask the blind man how to take revenge on these Japanese devils. He was convinced that with the wisdom and ability of a blind man, he could definitely hatch an astonishing and terrible plan of revenge.

But to Wang Zhengkui's disappointment, the blind man did not return to the village.
