Chapter 172: Joints and Stubborn People

When it was dawn, the 1st Company continued on the road, and was very cautious along the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Military dogs and spearheads are at the front, and if someone passes by, they send an alarm to the rear, and they are all hidden.

Concealment is the first priority in conducting a surprise attack on enemy territory, although after exposure, with the communication technology of this era, it is almost impossible for the enemy to catch up if the cavalry wants to escape, but if the enemy is alerted, it may add great variables to the mission.

What's more, no one wants to be chased by the enemy, and the later they are exposed, the more secure their own safety will be.

Fortunately, Iwami Province has many mountains, few plains, and a small population, except for some merchants who occasionally pass by on the road because of Iwami Ginzan, there are hardly too many people to see, and the speed of the 1st Company is still very fast.

A day later, less than 5 kilometers away from a place called Daejeon in Iwami Province, in an inaccessible mountain pass, Zhao Qingyu took the 1st Company of Rangers to repair, waiting for the connector from the Military Intelligence Department to come to meet him.

Zhao Qingyu was lying on a hillside, holding a telescope and constantly scanning the situation around.

Ye Meng's rough voice suddenly came from behind him, "Company commander, there is a kid sneakily hanging around, I will arrest him, do you want to interrogate?" ”

Zhao Qingyu was puzzled, "This is obviously a barren mountain, how can anyone come here?" You're not going to arrest the connector, are you? ”

Ye Meng shook his head firmly, "Company commander, I really see it, that kid didn't bring the agreed cat with him, and he definitely didn't come to connect." ”

"Okay, pull people over, I'll ask, ordinary people don't come to such a place where birds don't."

"Okay."

After a while, Ye Meng pressed a short man whose hands and feet were tied firmly, his eyes were covered, and his mouth was blocked, and he came to the bottom of the hillside.

Ye Meng casually threw a rib on the ground, which seemed to be the weapon that this person was carrying. Being able to carry a knife with him, the identity of the person in front of him may not be simple.

Zhao Qingyu handed the telescope to a sentry, arranged the guard of the commanding heights, and slowly retreated down the hillside.

Standing in front of the man, let Ye Meng untie the blindfold and let go of his mouth. Pulling out the dagger at his waist casually, Zhao Qingyu said in the not very fluent Japanese dialect, "I ask, you answer, if there is half a lie, I will stab you in the thigh, do you understand?" ”

The other party did not have the slightest fear, his mouth pursed, gritted his teeth and did not say a word, suddenly, the man saw the collar badge between Zhao Qingyu's neck, and his expression was a little hesitant.

Zhao Qingyu was impatient, and he was about to make a move with a dagger in his backhand, but the person who was tied up spoke, speaking the standard Mandarin promoted by Xuanjun "Dizhen Gaogang, a group of streams and mountains through the ages." ”

The dagger stabbed by Zhao Qingyu stopped instantly, and the other party actually knew the code, but this code was not used here to recognize each other, this is a code that will only be activated under special circumstances, and he was entangled in his heart, and hesitated to reply with a sentence "The door is like the sea, and the three rivers flow together for ten thousand years." ”

As soon as the other party heard the correct answer to the code, he said excitedly, "Captain, the Contemptible Military Intelligence Division, the Shinsengumi, the Eighth Team, the head of the group, and Gu Shisanlang under the Japanese Action Team, dare to ask your surname." ”

Zhao Qingyu had some doubts in his heart, although the code was right, but the other party did not bring the cat issued by the army as required, this is very wrong, if the other party can't say a reasonable reason, even if it is a 7 percent chance of wrongful killing, you have to kill the other party first, this mission is very important, there must be no difference.

"My surname is Zhao, don't be busy climbing relationships first, let me ask you, where is your token." Of course, the connector is not a token, Zhao Qingyu said this, just to further test whether the other party is his own intelligence officer.

Gu Shisanlang's face turned red and said, "It's all because I'm incompetent, I couldn't hit the prey, Lord Xiaobai was hungry, so I went to hunt in person." ”

Zhao Qingyu said in a strange tone: "Xiaobai? My lord? Your name is Xiaobai-sama? ”

Gu Shisanlang's tone was firm, "Yes, psychic animals, must have a god position, although Lord Xiaobai is unwilling to tell me, which great god he is, but we can't be lazy, and we should be commensurate with adults in our words." ”

Zhao Qingyu looked at Gu Shisanlang with a fanatical expression a little speechless, and he really couldn't say anything.

At this moment, there was a cute "meow" sound from the tree not far away, and everyone looked up, a snow-white cat was licking its paws on a high branch, and there was still half a carcass of the prey that had eaten the rest of the prey beside it, and it was still dripping blood under the tree.

Gu Shisanlang respectfully barked at the cat in the tree, "Lord Xiaobai, you are back." ”

The cat glanced at Gu Shisanlang, easily fell from a tree more than ten meters high, and came to the small military dog brought by the 1st Company of the Ranger with elegant steps, stretched out a paw, and the small military dog came up and sniffed it for a long time.

Seeing that the military dog could not complete the confirmation work for half a day, the cat seemed to be a little impatient, the paw lazily put on the face of the military dog, and pushed a few times, the small military dog was pushed and staggered, got up and barked at the cat, the cat was not ambiguous, went up to a lock throat, and pressed the military dog under him.

A few soldiers next to him were startled and were about to step forward to chase away the cat, the military dog is a good helper for the rangers in battle, and they can't be bullied by other animals.

The cat was also extremely smart, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and when everyone came back to their senses, they heard a "meow" from the tree before.

Zhao Qingyu has determined the identity of the cat, in addition to the cat domesticated by the general, there are such weird and intelligent cats there, and the rest of the points will be asked by the military dog.

Walking over and gently stroking the little head of the military dog, Zhao Qingyu pointed in the direction of the white cat and asked, "Little girl, is he his own person?" ”

The military dog rubbed his head on Zhao Qingyu's hand a few times, sprinkled for a while, and then reluctantly barked a few times according to the long and short tones.

Zhao Qingyu checked the barking with the code book in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, stuffed a piece of jerky for the military dog, and then instructed Ye Meng, "Mengzi, loosen the tie, it's your own person." ”

"Oh." Ye Meng hurriedly untied the rope on Gu Shisanlang's body, then clasped his fists and saluted, and said apologetically, "Don't mind, I didn't see a cat around you, and I thought we were exposed." I apologize to you here. ”

Gu Shisanlang hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed back, "Senior, you don't need to be polite, the army is respectful and orderly, and you are only a sergeant rank, so you can't be a sergeant." ”

Gu Shisanlang's serious look made Ye Meng stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and revealed the matter.

After a while, Zhao Qingyu walked over, and Gu Shisanlang also greeted him, took out a bamboo tube from his intimate private place, opened the lid, took out a piece of leather and presented it to Zhao Qingyu with both hands.

"Captain, this is Iwami's defense map, because of the uninterrupted raids of our army in the past six months, the shogunate has also strengthened the defense of Iwami, and now there are no less than 200 samurai near Iwamimori's mansion, and the nearby farmers have also been told that if they hear the warning signal, they will immediately assemble in front of Iwami Mamoru's mansion, and according to the speed at which they have practiced twice, 300 peasants can be gathered in two quarters of an hour, and 800 peasants can be assembled in two hours."

Gu Shisanlang said, looked around, frowned and asked, "Captain, did you only bring less than 100 people?" ”

Zhao Qingyu took the defense map, looked at it carefully, and replied casually, "Yes, my people, except for the four sentinels who are on guard outside, are all here." ”

Gu Shisanlang said with a straight face, "Captain, please let me go, if you want to use this manpower to raid Iwami Shou's mansion, it is absolutely impossible, and please ask the lord for help quickly, otherwise, I will wait for the battle to die in a small matter, and I will miss the master's plan, but I will die a hundred deaths." ”

Zhao Qingyu put down the drawings and said seriously, "I will never take the task assigned by the general as a child's play, my company is enough to complete this mission." ”

Gu Shisanlang obviously didn't believe that a mere 100 people could raid Iwami Mamoru in an army of nearly 1,000 people, but because he lived in the Wa Kingdom all the year round, his sense of hierarchy was very serious, and he knew that as a sergeant, he couldn't argue with the captain, so he didn't argue.

Just said in a firm tone, "Yes, I understand, in the next battle, my new selection group of the eighth team will be the captain of the precursor, we will definitely fight to open a passage for the adults to raid Iwamimori, I just hope that the adults can remember our names, so that I can enter the Martyrs' Shrine after death." ”

Zhao Qingyu said word by word, "I said, we can successfully take down Iwamimori, and we don't need you to play the striker." ”

Gu Shisanlang ignored Zhao Qingyu's words, carefully took out a list from his arms, knelt on the ground, and touched his head to the ground, "This is the list of all the members of the eighth team of my new selection group, and I will leave this matter to the captain." ”

Zhao Qingyu is going crazy, why is this guy so stubborn, he said that he didn't need them to open any channels, but the other party just didn't listen, when he met this kind of person, Zhao Qingyu really didn't know what to do, obviously the other party was all for Xuanjun and for the general, but...

Zhao Qingyu forced himself to calm down and thought of a solution.

"Gu Shisanlang."

"Here." , snapped upright, it was obvious that Gu Shisanlang had received complete recruit training from the Xuan Army.

"Now that I'm the highest-ranking officer here, do you have any objections?"

"Captain, there is no objection to the next, in Iwami Province, the captain is the highest-ranking officer in our army."

"I have the right to arbitrarily decide on the basis of this mission granted by the General's Palace, and in accordance with the operational regulations of our army, I announce the formation of a temporary detachment of Zhao Qingyu as the highest-ranking officer in this place, with Zhao Qingyu as the supreme leader, and it will be automatically disbanded after the task is completed, do you have any objections?"

"What the captain has done is in accordance with the relevant provisions of our army's "Regulations on Fighting in the Territory of the Enemy", and there is no objection here."

"Since there is no objection, then in my capacity as Zhao Qingyu's temporary detachment and temporary supreme commander, I order that the eighth team of the new selection group of the action team under the Military Intelligence Department be temporarily incorporated into Zhao Qingyu's temporary detachment until the task is completed and automatically disbanded."

"Yes. The subordinates obeyed the order, and the head of the eighth team of the Shinsengumi, Shisanro, officially reported to the detachment leader. ”

"I accept your report, and order your people to meet with me at the outskirts of the destination, and no one shall be left behind, and no one shall act without authorization, otherwise he will be severely punished."

"Yes."

Zhao Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally solved it, such a strong seed still has to be dealt with in the form of a military law order.
