Liu Hong frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he replied: "I'm not familiar with the terrain in the vicinity, and I'm lost, and I don't know where it is." However, I estimate that the place where I found this dirt road is about thirty or forty miles southeast of Hejian City, and it is about thirty or forty miles away from the county seat. They had come from the east and were marching to the west. Since I was alone and had lost contact with the main force, I didn't dare to catch up and check it out. ”

Hearing this, the devil lieutenant stood up with a 'poof', strode to the huge map hanging on the wall, took a closer look at the map, nodded and said, "Yo Xi! The location you mentioned is not far from Liuzhuang, and Kato Shaozuo's troops were attacked in Liuzhuang yesterday, so it seems very likely that this group of Tubalu did it. You drop~! Come with me immediately to His Excellency the Wing Commander and report back to His Excellency the Wing Commander in person. ”

"Hello~!" Liu Hong lowered his head and responded respectfully, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the headquarters of the 3rd Wing of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the 3rd Wing, Maeda Masaji, was furious, and this old devil pointed to a group of devil officers in front of him and scolded loudly: "Hundreds of imperial warriors have broken jade, a large stronghold has been completely destroyed, you can't even find out who the murderer is, what use do I want you to waste?" ”

The devil officers present lowered their heads in shame one by one, did not dare to plead, or even dare to speak, allowing Maeda Masaji to scold them with blood.

At this time, a little devil walked in and said cautiously: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, Lieutenant Xiaodao brought a wounded soldier over, saying that there is important information to report to Your Excellency Dazuo, about the attack on Liu Zhuang's imperial army." ”

"Nani?" Maeda Masaji couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and hurriedly said, "Let them in." ”

"Hello!" The little devil hurriedly answered, turned around and hurriedly walked out.

Then Lieutenant Kojima hurriedly walked in with Liu Hong, Lieutenant Kojima lowered his head and said to Maeda Masaji with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, today I found a wounded soldier of the Imperial Army who fell behind during the patrol, and after inquiry, I learned that he found a main force of the Eighth Route Army last night, marching from east to west, and the location of the discovery was thirty or forty miles southeast of Hejian County, not far from Liuzhuang, and the Eighth Route Army rushed from the direction of Liuzhuang, Humiliation guessed that they should be the Dohachi Road who ambushed Kato Shaosa in Liuzhuang. ”

After Liu Hong followed Lieutenant Kojima in, he secretly glanced at Maeda Masaji, and then slowly lowered his head. After listening to Lieutenant Kojima's report, Maeda Masaji's eyes fell on Liu Hong, and asked in a cold voice, "Did you really see the main force of the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"Hello!" Liu Hong replied with great certainty: "Don't dare to deceive Your Excellency Dazuo, I did see the main force of the Eighth Route Army, with a strength of more than 1,000 people, but because it was dark at night, I didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't see it too clearly, but I was sure that it was undoubtedly the main force of the Eighth Route Army." ”

Subsequently, Maeda Masaji asked Liu Hong about some specific information, including the location of the Eighth Route Army, weapons and equipment, etc., and how Liu Hong disappeared and fell behind.

When he learned that Liu Hong had amnesia, and he didn't have an identity tag, and he couldn't even remember his name, Maeda Masaji couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, Maeda Masaji instructed Lieutenant Kojima: "You take him to the infirmary to treat his injuries." ”

When Lieutenant Kojima saw Maeda Masaji winking at him, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Hay! Then he left the headquarters with Liu Hong.

Liu Hong has been secretly observing Maeda Masaji's every move, how could he hide Liu Hong's little action, he knew that this old devil had become suspicious of him, but Liu Hong couldn't help it, he had killed a lot of little devils before, and they did have identity cards on them, but these little devils were all from the Third Wing, if Liu Hong casually took an identity card and pretended to be a soldier of the Third Wing, it was easy to be recognized. Because the Third Wing has a total of less than 4,000 people, all of whom are stationed in Hejian, Cangzhou and several surrounding counties, many people know each other, even if they don't know each other, they have at least met, not to mention that the headquarters of the Third Wing must have kept the files of each soldier, and there must be photos among them, as long as you check the authenticity, you can find out the authenticity, so Liu Hong did not find an identity card to take with him, and it was not Liu Hong's negligence.

Originally, Liu Hong just wanted to pretend to be a wounded soldier and enter the city in a justifiable manner, and take the opportunity to find out the truth of the devils in the city, but just now he heard Lieutenant Kojima mention the Huaizhen stronghold and Liu Zhuang, Liu Hong had an idea, and deliberately fabricated such a false information to confuse the Japanese army. Now that I think about it, this move is indeed a bit risky, after all, the little devil is not a fool, and once the stuff is exposed, it will be troublesome.

After Lieutenant Kojima left the command headquarters with Liu Hong, Maeda Masaji glanced at the devil officers present and asked, "Do you think what this guy said is credible?" ”

A devil Shaozuo frowned and said, "Well~!" It is difficult to judge, but last night the imperial army rushed to Liuzhuang, carefully inspected the situation on the battlefield, and conducted a careful search in the surrounding area. No trace of the big eight roads was found. ”

"Hmph~! According to what you say, did Kato Shaosa and the 200 Imperial Army warriors commit suicide? Maeda Masaji said angrily.

"That's not what it means." The devil Shaozuo hurriedly explained: "What the humble position means is that if the main force of the Eighth Route Army ambushes Kato Shaozuo's troops in Liuzhuang, then there will always be some clues, but according to the traces left on the battlefield, there is no large force of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Liuzhuang, and we also asked the people of the surrounding villages, and they all said that they did not see the main force of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Hmph~! This is the cunning of the dirt eight roads, it must have been that they destroyed the scene and deliberately did not leave any traces. As for the confessions of those people in China, they are not credible at all, these hateful guys are originally in the same group as those Tubalu, and of course they will cover for them. Maeda Masaji said angrily.

"Hello! This possibility is not ruled out. But this guy lost his identity card and lost his memory again, which seems to be too coincidental! This person is even more suspicious, so he should not be taken seriously. The devil Shaozuo said thoughtfully.

Maeda Masaji nodded and said: "This person is indeed a little suspicious, and his words cannot be fully believed, but one thing is certain, that is, there is indeed another main force of the Eighth Route Army in the vicinity, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to make more than 300 imperial warriors fall into pieces in such a short period of time." ”
