"So hard-mouthed?" Chu Tingchang was taken aback, he thought that he was as cooperative as Nehru, "Zhao Xiaoli, find a way to make them speak." He bluffed.

"Leave it to me."

Zhao Xiaoli walked around the livestock shed with people, collecting firewood and straw, and stepped on the wooden plank on Ying Zuo's head several times, but they were careless and did not find that there were people hidden under the uneven wooden plank, this hole in the ground could lead to the canal at the edge of the village, but Ying Zuo knew that he couldn't escape far if he got out.

The guard company piled firewood and grass in the middle of the compound and poured gasoline.

The two sisters were pushed onto the pyre.

"Ask them again, where are their men?"

Chu Tingchang stepped on the gasoline drum with one foot, and carried a horsewhip in his hand, which was all that Kagezuo Zhenzhao could see through the cracks, and he didn't dare to lift the plank up to see his face. He had seen Chu Tingchang's photo on the cover of the magazine, but he really wanted to take a closer look, which was conducive to judging the opponent's character, and as for the lives of his two wives, he didn't care very much. As for Nehru as a person, he now sees his true face more clearly, and he is like two people who opened his mouth to die heroically and martyred Gandhi with his mouth closed, but such a shameless person who prays for life without discipline is a person who can really cooperate, and those who are too faceless and don't know what the interests are are are difficult to get along with.

Over there, Zhao Xiaoli stuffed the torch into the firewood pile, and the fire burst into flames. For a while, the heat wave was rolling, and Chief Chu hurriedly took the hair from the orderly to wipe his sweat.

The two girls, even though they were illiterate, knew that their lives were short, so they simply sat down and did not speak, and they consciously turned away from seeing the barn.

"To say or not to say?"

Chu Tingchang asked. Nehru's translation on the side is also full of voice, and he is almost into the role. This person is simply incurable.

The two girls were very hard-boned, and they did not argue or speak.

"Master, I think one will be burned first, and the other will know that he will be afraid."

Zhao Xiaoli had a doctrine, and Chu Tingchang nodded. Guo Rugui stood with a solemn face and grabbed the side, he was also observing Chu Tingchang, but he didn't expect Chu Tingchang, a white-faced scholar, to be so vicious? It completely subverted the image that he had just established in his mind.

Zhao Xiaoli smiled cruelly, immediately dragged the older one up, pulled down the edge of the fire, and was about to push her to burn to death, and immediately cried and grabbed the ground, making a fuss, Chu Tingchang asked for the last time, and still didn't ask what the situation was, the sisters probably thought about martyrdom, and local women did often have a tradition of dying with their deceased husbands, obviously because of the culture, it doesn't matter.

Kagezo Zhenzhao suddenly realized that Chu Tingchang was bluffing, he didn't even see the other party's face, and guessed this based on his intuition alone.

"Zhao Xiaoli, come back, come back." Chu Tingchang beckoned his subordinates to stop.

"What, the two of them burned together?" Zhao Xiaoli twisted the crying minor in his hand and asked.

"Maybe I really don't know, let it go."

"Just let it go? So much gasoline for nothing? ”

"If you are told to let it go, you will continue to search with someone, I estimate that he will not run far, there may be tunnels in the house, search carefully."

"Yes."

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao felt a pang in his heart, thinking that this was going to be worse.

A platoon of guards burst into the house, smashing it everywhere with * and sticks, searching for possible hiding places under the walls under the floor. They had a preconceived idea that if there was a place to hide, it should be in a big house, not in a barn. In fact, at the beginning of the Kage Satsushi period, I didn't understand why he dug the hole in the yard, but this difference between the north and the south is now working. Not only did he escape for the time being, but he could continue to observe Pavilion Chief Chu walking around the courtyard anxiously.

It seems that this Chu Pavilion Commander likes to personally reconnoiter at the front of the troops. This is in line with my previous judgment. So what's the relationship between this person and Lin Jiu? Are they in a subordinate relationship? Why did he come out to lead the troops and Lin Jiu disappeared?

Seeing that he would be found out at any time, he still had the heart to think about these, but these problems had indeed been bothering him, and it was a heart disease. He had seen Ma Qiang himself, and he was surprised at the time, because he didn't look like a modern Chinese soldier at all, in fact, Ying Zuo himself, as a China expert, had seen so many ordinary Chinese soldiers or military commander killers, but he had never seen such a sturdy soldier, one was his figure, and the other was the disdain that appeared at the corner of his mouth lying on a stretcher. This person is tall and strong, with white teeth, no one has any chronic diseases and old wounds, even the military doctors who examined the body find it strange, they even checked Ma Qiang's excrement, and found no common parasites, so that the diet is very clean.

Lin Jiu's sketches are like him in a notebook and often look at them, and after being captured by the British army, the British also showed them several times during interrogation, and he pretended not to know. At that time, there were many people who had seen Lin Jiu inside and outside the lease, and according to their memories, they were also white and clean, thin and tall, in this era, only Chinese who appeared like this in the concession, but Xiao Kai in the concession could not have that kind of skill.

He carefully strung this line together, and did not draw conclusions for the time being, but just looked at this Chu Tingchang again, almost the same characteristics, and the fierce soldiers beside him were completely different people, although he could only see his hands at present, but they were not human hands that had been rough work since childhood, nor like hands that had received strict military training, he had observed the hands of Japanese soldiers, and the gestures of the army and navy were completely different.

"Bring me a towel." Chu Tingchang shouted, and the orderly beside him came over and lowered the towel again. Kagesa had met Makino and Asano last summer, and both were also very sensitive to heat, and according to them, in their time, the indoor temperature could be adjusted by a machine that would not exceed 25°.

"Report!" A soldier rushed into the courtyard, "The Indians are going to riot at the temple gate." A few Diao people began to incite. ”

"Machine gun preparation." Zhao Xiaoli dropped his hand to search, and ran to him, "Arrest the few who take the lead, and kill a few first, and you will know that you are afraid." ”

"Company Commander Zhao, don't mess around." Chief Chu Ting hurriedly stopped, the enemy is winning the hearts and minds of the people in this area, and we can't kill innocents indiscriminately.

"Master, do you know what the Japanese do in my hometown in Shanxi? The brutes drove the people to the entrance of the village and then machine-gunned them...... My uncle is ......," Zhao Xiaoli asked, patting his chest. Looks a little excited.

"So we're not Japanese."

Chu Tingchang's words shocked the scene, Guo Rugui stood in the corner of the wall and nodded slightly, he may not be mistaken. This person is indeed not a traditional warlord, although he was bluffed by the torture scene just now, I didn't expect him to play fake.

"Then, I'll set the house on order, leave them some thoughts, and know how powerful the soldier is." Zhao Xiaoli is still haggling. A brain is destroyed.

"No, I can't. There are also jewelry in the house, and those local chickens and goats in the pen are not allowed to touch. ”

"That ......"

Suddenly there was a gunshot in the distance, followed by a brief exchange of fire.

"What's going on?"

"Report, the head of the village found the Japanese cavalry, fought and ran away, probably the advance force."

"How did Huang Chenghua's vigilance work. Let the enemy touch so close. ”

"Master, what should I do?"

"It is estimated that the Hainan detachment is coming, but I don't know the number, the terrain here is low-lying and not suitable for combat, so we will withdraw first."

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was shocked, why did Chief Chu Tingchang know the number of the Hainan detachment, and he never even mentioned the number in his telegram correspondence with the Kimura headquarters. He didn't know which of the imperial army was coming today. Chief Chu actually knew. The officers who had been defeated at his hands all lamented the opponent's ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and it didn't seem to be all prevarication.

Outside there was a messy pace, then the sound of cars starting, and the Chinese troops were withdrawing, quickly and quickly.

About a thousand Indians in the square quieted down, they realized that the goddamn Chinese were about to get out, don't look at them driving machine guns, and armored vehicles (half-tracks) in and out, the Japanese in the distance fired a few shots, and they were about to run, it seems that the rumors that the Japanese are sent by the gods to descend to the mortal are true.

Chu Tingchang did not want to fight the Japanese too early in this place surrounded by mountains, mainly because the enemy situation was unclear, and he only wanted to fight a war of annihilation with complete intelligence, not any encounter. So he chose to withdraw first.

As for the pair of Indian sisters, they can only be released first, and it is estimated that they really don't know anything. Knowing that Kagesa is still alive in the world is indeed the worst information of the day. Perhaps his fate has been entangled with the three traversers, and it is not so easy to kill. As for Nehru, he must take it, and how to dispose of it, you have to listen to 419. He wasn't even sure it was the same person who had been printed on Indian banknotes in later generations, and the appearance was so different that maybe it was just the same name?

Guo Rugui's observation of the retreat of Chu Tingchang's army was also unexpected, there was absolutely no mud and water, and no one was seen robbing the villagers' livestock and poultry, the convoy left the village in an orderly manner, and the cavalry team at the edge of the village finally retreated, and some Indian children who did not know what to do began to throw stones, and did not fire a single shot, which shows that the order and prohibition of military discipline are good. Sure enough, combat effectiveness does not depend on weapons and brute force alone.

The Ono Brigade of the Nanhai Detachment came quite in time, the reconnaissance troops in front of them encountered the Chinese cavalry, and the main force behind them rushed to march on bicycles, and the enemy did not dare to fight and had already withdrawn. retreated without a fight, which shows that there is no courage.

The soldiers grabbed a spy from the courtyard and dragged it to Captain Ono only to find out that it was Major General Kagesa.

At this time, Chu Tingchang was on the top of the mountain, waiting for reconnaissance information. After a while, it was reported from the front that the enemy who came was very numerous, more than eight hundred men, and there were at least 4 92 rifle guns, which seemed to be reinforced brigade-level troops. Indians were holding funerals near the temple for several children killed by machine guns and mortars, looking filled with righteous indignation. It seems that some Japanese soldiers also attended the rally.

He knew the number of the South China Sea Detachment, which was naturally the result of the 419 interception, but daytime reconnaissance in the jungle area was not the strength of drones, and many times scouts had to check the ground traces or look out from afar, so he did not grasp the situation of the incoming enemy.

Commander Chu held an impromptu meeting with several company commanders to discuss how to annihilate the enemy. Guo Rugui attended the meeting as an observer, Director Guo is well versed in the art of war, of course he knows the truth of ten sieges and five attacks, and the Chinese battlefield may not be able to encircle the Japanese army with ten times the number of troops, and the five times the strength may not be able to attack, and the defense may not be able to prevent it, and now the strength here is roughly equivalent to that of a large group of enemies, but they are not only discussing the attack, but discussing the total annihilation.
