Chapter 5: Blood and Fire (23)

The night is deep, and the spring is cold. There were no lights, no torches, only a faint white glow from the last quarter moon. The team of nearly 3,000 people, there was no noise, no fighting, no coughing, and even the sound of footsteps was quietly unpleasant, only under the shadow of the moon, a long line of people, lined up for four or five miles.

"Rest in place." A soft order came from the front, and the team immediately stopped, did not dare to move, did not dare to leave, sat down in place, no one dared to speak, let alone light a fire and smoke. Before the operation, there was an explicit decree that whoever made a noise to alarm the enemy would be punished as a special enemy. Through the moonlight, I could vaguely see that this was a valley, surrounded by low hills, with no villages, no human voices, not even a dog barking, only the wind blowing the branches and making a soft whistling sound. The soldiers tightened their necks, wrapped their bodies tightly, walked for almost three hours, a little hot, and as soon as they stopped, they immediately felt a chill.

"Did you figure it out?" Xu Ping asked the skinny monkey who had been here for most of the night.

"Basically." The thin monkey replied: "Two hours to change the guard, three open posts, two dark posts, a total of ten people, the mobile post once an hour, the second mobile post by the way." The open sentry is easy to deal with, it can be dealt with crossbow arrows, the dark sentry is more troublesome, the fortifications are made like tombs, the entrance is very small, unless it is stormed, it is difficult to get them out of the grave. ”

Another platoon commander named Luo Wei came over and said, "It's a pity that the regiment commander is not here, if the regiment commander is here, we have packed up three clear posts that are easy to turn around, let him go to the secret post and call out." ”

"Don't talk about useless things." Xu Ping said: "Are you sure you can call the Japanese out of the grave?" ”

"Sure. The one who changed the guard just now didn't even need to bark, but kicked the stone in front of the grave, and the one inside quickly crawled out, like a wild dog. Luo Wei said.

"That's right!" Xu Ping pondered, and after a while, he asked again: "When is the next change of guard for the Japanese?" ”

"It's not long after the mobile whistle, and it's estimated that it will take about 40 minutes." Skinny Monkey said.

"From which direction?" Xu Ping asked.

"Do you want to change the guard?" Luo Wei was very smart and immediately understood Xu Ping's plan, and said, "From the path on the left, it is under that big tree. I'll take people over at once, and set up an ambush around the trees, and I'm sure I'll be able to kill these ten devils silently. ”

"Tell me about your plans." Xu Ping is a very delicate person, he won't listen to anyone who talks big with empty teeth and white teeth, there must be a feasible method.

"I brought all the crossbowmen of the whole company, several people aimed at one, smeared with blood to seal the throat, and fired at the same time to ensure that these ten devils could be cleaned up." Luo Wei said.

Xu Ping nodded, there is no better plan, just use it.

Luo Wei happily turned around and greeted: "All the crossbowmen come with me." ”

Forty crossbowmen and forty strong crossbows are the housekeeping tools of Xu Ping's spy company, made of stainless steel, and the crossbow arrows are coated with a kind of sap called blood sealing throat in the Longzhou area, which is something that local hunters can't use, and can only be used when they are killed, Luo Wei is a native of Longzhou, and he has studied this thing very much.

Seeing Luo Wei leave with people, the thin monkey began to order, and selected the ten tall and well-skilled people in his platoon along with himself, and changed into devil costumes. It is easier for the people of the 1056 regiment to change into devil clothes, steel helmets and leather shoes are ready-made, as long as you change the coat, and then tie the Japanese army's standard armed belt around your waist, and carry a 38 cover on your shoulder, it is really enough to have the image of a Japanese devil, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to see, in this kind of dark night, as long as you don't open your mouth, the gods are difficult to distinguish.

After they dressed up, they followed Luo Wei and the others to lie down not far away, and as long as Luo Wei succeeded in one blow, they immediately took up their posts and took over the work of the Japanese patrol.

Luo Wei and his group of experienced hunters, some of whom chose to lie in ambush in the trees, in the ditch, and on the side, had just made their camouflage and placed themselves in a comfortable position, when they saw a group of Japanese walking over from the side of the ditch. The Japanese have flashlights, but they are not always on, dark and bright, bright or dark, like a ghost fire in the field, fortunately it is early spring, not midsummer, otherwise such lights will really scare people.

The devils walked slowly under the tree in a group of ten, they had been doing this routine changing of the guard for more than half a month, and they had never made any mistakes, and they had long been tired, chatting and saying some messy Oriental words. The guns are carried diagonally on the back, and even in special circumstances, it takes some time to get the gun off. I only heard Luo Wei cough lightly, and forty crossbow arrows that had been wound flashed out, and nine ghost soldiers fell to the ground silently, and only one of them was angry, and he actually let out a final dying cry. The screams were particularly sudden and high-pitched in the silent night, and everyone was frightened, Luo Wei rushed forward with an arrow, grabbed the soldier's neck, and twisted it with all his might, only to hear a click, and the neck was stiffly twisted.

This shout also exploded in Xu Ping's ears like a thunderbolt, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, he was discovered, the plan failed, what should I do?

Sure enough, it was not only the national army that heard the shout, but only the nearest Ming Sentinel also shouted in Japanese: "Who?" What's going on? ”

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the whistle, he could guess the general meaning, Xu Ping's heart was beating so fast that it was almost up to his throat.

I only heard an answer from the thin monkey team, and it was pure Japanese: "Eight grids, voles." ”

Hearing the answer, the devil on the sentry laughed unscrupulously, and the laughter was like the cry of an owl, which was particularly ugly in the night sky, and he said something in Japanese, which means, really fucking cowardly.

Xu Ping's heart and the hearts of all the secret service brothers returned to their original place again, Xu Ping heard it, it was a brother in the thin monkey team who spoke, because he had a sharp mouth and long hair, and his nickname was called vole, and he himself felt that this nickname was more vivid, so he took the initiative to learn a Japanese word from Mo Di, vole. In addition to this, there will only be a general sentence of "eight grids", but I didn't expect that this nickname would make a great contribution this time.

Seeing that the thin monkeys were able to take it smoothly, Luo Wei and the others sat on the ground, their whole body was paralyzed, and they couldn't get up anymore.

Coming to the nearest sentry, the two Japanese devils standing guard were still smiling, and the thin monkey took out two Japanese cigarettes on his body, handed them over, and at the same time lit the Japanese-style lighter, which was seized when he was in Jiaxing, and was a luxury item carried by a wealthy Japanese businessman. Sure enough, seeing the fire of this lighter, the two Japanese devils also looked a little out of favor, and immediately approached the lighter to light a cigarette.

At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the back of their necks, a hand stuck in the throat of the Japanese devil, and a sharp sharp knife pierced from the back of the heart, until the front of the heart, and the tip of the two-inch-long knife was exposed, and under the reflection of the lighter fire, drops of blood flowed down the tip of the knife.

Putting down the first sentinel, the ten men continued to walk down. The second is the dark whistle.

In front of the dark whistle, the vole kicked the stone in front of the grave, and a devil crawled out, crawled halfway through, stretched out his hands, and let the people outside pull a hand. The two warriors pulled out one hand on each side, and the little devil was lifted in the air, and when he fell, the third hand had already covered his mouth tightly, and the devil was immediately properly taken care of, and his life returned to the west. The second devil was also soaked, clean and neat.

Continue to the whistle in the middle.

The position of this bright post is the highest, and there is a searchlight with a battery belt, and every once in a while, the light will be turned on, and it will shine in all directions, and more often it will be turned off, because of the battery. Seeing the arrival of the changing of the guard, they kindly turned on the lights and showed the way for the thin monkeys, but fortunately, the thin monkeys did not step into the stream.

Walking around the back of the hill and walking up the hill, searchlights have been illuminating their way. The thin monkey thought, this is not good, always like this, before he reaches the top of the mountain, the devil will recognize it, and he must be asked to turn off the lights. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and waved it at the mountain, and then began to untie his pants, took out his second child and released the water, and several other soldiers saw this and also released their second child. Seeing this, the devil on the mountain turned off the light with a smile, knowing that others still have to take a pee, which is too rude, unless you are the great god Amaterasu.

At this moment when the lights were turned off on the mountain, the thin monkey said to the vole, "I am attracting their attention from the front, and you take five people up from the side and kill the two guys on the mountain." With that, he took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and a soldier behind him who usually didn't smoke also lit one, took a puff, and choked and coughed. The cigarette butt is particularly bright in the night sky, which is particularly eye-catching, the cigarette butt is slowly moving towards the mountain, and the vole is moving quickly, the cat is waisted, like a vole.

Just when the Japanese devils on the hill thought that the changing of the guard was still on the way, a blade that stretched out from the void behind them easily slit their throats. The blood vessels of the arteries gushed out like a fountain, and the vole let out a heavy breath of turbidity, and he was tired from rolling and crawling along the way.

The light of the whistle continued to shine, shining on the sky, then on the earth, and on the left and on the right. Xu Ping knew that this most difficult whistle had been taken, and he felt a little more relaxed. The thin monkey and the others came to the sentry post, and when they saw this place, they couldn't help but exclaim, here, there is not only a searchlight, but also a crooked handle, a crooked handle with a loaded bullet, as long as the people here are given a blink of an eye, they can hold the crooked handle. Closing the safety of the crooked handle and reloading the loaded bullet, the thin monkey breathed a sigh of relief and praised the vole tree. The vole smiled and said, the next one is easy to do, there is a bright whistle and a dark whistle, just repeating the previous work.

In order to maintain the searchlight here, the skinny monkey left two people behind, and the remaining eight people moved on.

Luo Wei only returned to Xu Ping at this time, he wore leather gloves, and took back forty crossbow arrows that sealed his throat with blood in the dark, this thing is the same as the poisonous gas of the Japanese, it is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, who encounters and who suffers. He only took the guns, ammunition and leather shoes of the Japanese army, and did not dare to take anything else, for fear of being stained with blood and hurting his own people. didn't complete the task successfully, and almost messed things up, Luo Wei was guilty, and kept patting his head all the way, very regretful. Fortunately, voles are quick and able to act on opportunities, otherwise, a big action would have been folded in their own hands. The more I think about it, the more terrible it becomes, and I want to go back and admit my mistakes.

Xu Ping saw Luo Wei's apologetic face, patted him on the shoulder with relief, and said, after completing the task, invite the vole to dinner, and his nickname has made a great contribution today. Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and said excitedly, the head of the regiment has already asked us to learn a little bit of Japan, and we have all only learned one sentence, Bage, I didn't expect this guy to know more than us. Xu Ping smiled dumbly, if it weren't for his nickname being Vole, it is estimated that he would not have gone to school.

As he was talking, another eight-grid sound came from the second dark outpost, which almost didn't scare Xu Ping and Luo Wei into the street.
