Chapter Twenty-Seven: Changes in the Mountains and Forests

A weasel with a vole in its mouth carefully poked its head out of the grass, and it was going to go directly to its nest to feed the children, but the slight shaking of the ground made it stop moving forward, and there was a rustling sound in the grass in front of it, and the weasel with the vole in its mouth turned around and ran. But it was too late, a black light flew towards it, "poof" accompanied by the weasel's scream, and a short knife with a black blade had pierced the weasel's body, and the narrow blade nailed it directly into the mud.

The weasel nailed to the ground by the sharp blade kept twitching its body, it was not dead yet, and the next second, an earthy yellow military shoe landed on its neck, but with a soft sound, the weasel stopped twitching. "Inoue-kun, we can drink fresh broth tonight" Hashimoto, who was excited, withdrew his short knife, picked up the weasel that had just died, and shouted to the hillside behind him, and hundreds of people dressed in khaki appeared on the grassy hillside, Hashimoto was just one of them, these people had an independent number in the Japanese army in Shanxiβ€”β€”β€”β€” Nakai Squad.

The Nakai squad is an action team just formed at the Taiyuan Station of the Special High Division, and the captain of the squadron is the rank of Junior Commander of Heiichiro Nakai, which was specially selected by the Special High Division from more than 300 young recruits in the Shanxi garrison, because he has received special operations training from the German army. Not only Nakai Heiichiro, but even his squad members are veterans drawn from the garrison, each of them has served in China for more than 3 years, and the Taiyuan Special High School hopes that after their intelligence officer determines Zhao Zhi's position, the Nakai squad can wipe Zhao Zhi out of this world with their strong combat power.

With an establishment of 150 people, the Nakai squad can't actually be called a squad, because its scale is already the establishment of two Japanese infantry squads, and after being equipped with a large number of 100-style submachine guns, the combat power of the Nakai squad is already comparable to a battalion of the Chinese army, not to mention that the Nakai squad is also equipped with long-range firepower such as sniper rifles and mortars.

It has been more than ten days since they set off from Taiyuan, and in order to avoid encountering the anti-Japanese forces, Nakai and his team have been carefully hiding their whereabouts over the mountains and mountains, and they are getting closer and closer to Zhangwu County, and Nakai Heiichiro's heart is becoming more and more uneasy. The squad was divided into 10 combat squads by Heiichiro Nakai according to a combat squad of 15 people, and the 10 combat squads were divided into three parts, moving forward in a zigzag shape at a distance of more than ten meters from each other, while Heiichiro Nakai, as the captain of the squad, stayed alone in a combat squad and walked in the middle of the zigzag, as the command center of the squad.

"Your Excellency, 10 miles further on, there is a place called Qingshiyu, where the Jewish army is stationed, and their number is 20,000," Hashimoto, who was the spearhead, gestured to rest. The team had been walking for a full 5 hours after breakfast, and in order to maintain everyone's physical strength, Heiichiro Nakai ordered them to stop and rest every 5 hours, and only after 15 hours of marching could they get the opportunity to camp.

Canned food, compressed biscuits and water, everyone eats the same thing, this is their lunch, and the next time they stop to eat, I'm afraid it's time to camp at night. During the day, Heiichiro Nakai was not allowed to light fires because the bonfires would smoke and reveal their whereabouts, and only at night when it was dark could the team light some hot water and hot meals, but that had to be done in a double-decker tent so that the fire would not be emitted.

"It's time to go, let's try to bypass Qingshiyu before dark, Zhangwu County is our destination" Heiichiro Nakai put away the spread map, signaling the top soldiers to set off to explore the road first, and the other combat squads followed. The zigzag Nakai squad continued to advance in the direction of Shobu County, and with the appearance of green vegetation, the team members began to smear their earthy yellow military uniforms with grass juice according to Nakai Heiichiro's orders, and the yellow-green military uniforms could provide them with good concealment in the vegetation area, which Nakai Heiichiro had received in the training camp in Germany.

After climbing several hills in a row, judging by the direction and terrain provided by the intelligence officer of the Special High Division, Heiichiro Nakai knew that they were not far from the county seat of Zhangwu, and he might be able to see the city wall of the county seat of Zhangwu after climbing over the next hill. "There is a situation" Hashimoto Masahiro, who was more than ten meters away in front of Heiichiro Nakai, raised his right hand, and the teammates who followed immediately dispersed and lowered their bodies, and the muzzle of the black hole was already pointing forward.

One, two, three, in a short time, a flock of sheep appeared in Nakai Heiichiro's sight, and the shepherd, dressed in dark blue coarse cloth, eagerly waved a stick in his hand, apparently in a hurry to drive the sheep home before dark. Seeing that the little shepherd, who was only a teenager, did not pay attention to the Nakai Heiichiro and them lying on his flank, he put all his thoughts on this group of disobedient sheep, especially the leading ram, who always wanted to take the sheep to other places.

The team members looked at the sheep that had turned down the hillside, their throats itched, and they wanted to drink the hot mutton soup after eating canned food and compressed biscuits for many days, but none of them dared to move without the order of the captain Heiichiro Nakai. Heiichiro Nakai also wanted to nibble on the leg of mutton and drink mutton soup, but the purpose of their trip was Zhao Zhi in Zhangwu County, once they exposed their whereabouts in order to eat mutton so close to Zhangwu County, then they would be pursued by tens of thousands of enemies, and their mission would immediately come to naught.

"Keep going" Hashimoto looked back at the captain Heiichiro Nakai, and gave a secret signal to move on, and the others got up from the ground and continued to march in the direction of Shobu Prefecture. On the other side of the low hillside is a basin, beyond the basin is a mountain forest, Nakai Heiichiro held the binoculars and observed for a while, before Hashimoto was leading a combat squad to search the mountain forest, and he wanted to put the camp tonight in the mountain forest.

Hashimoto was constantly gesticulating, and his teammates who followed him down the mountain watched his gestures form an arrow formation, and Hashimoto's position was on the tip of the arrow. Looking at the cooperation between Hashimoto and them, Heiichiro Nakai nodded slightly, it seems that the past few months have not been in vain, these veterans from different units already know the importance of cooperation, over time, this team will definitely shine, and he, Heiichiro Nakai, will become the commander of the first special operations unit of the Imperial Japanese Army.

At the beginning of April, the grass and trees in the mountains and forests were not very lush, and Hashimoto Masa, who entered the mountain forest, only had to look at it, and they could see a piece of the boss's place, such a terrain could not hide people, so after moving forward for dozens of meters, they all lowered their vigilance a little. Only Hashimoto Masa's heart has always had an uncomfortable feeling, so Hashimoto Masa, who stopped and looked around, gradually fell from the front of the queue to the back of the line, but he didn't find anything, Hashimoto even beckoned his team members to stop and listen to the movement in the forest, but there was still nothing abnormal.

"Hashimoto-senpai, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong here? Young Inoue slowed down slightly, and Yu Hashimoto walked side by side. Inoue is the youngest member of the team and a fellow Hashimoto villager, and the village where the two families live is separated by a river.

"I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong" Hashimoto shook his head, a wariness in his eyes. Everyone is a veteran, and Hashimoto said a lot, everyone carefully lowered their figures, whether there was danger or not, it was better to be careful. The things that made Hashimoto uneasy never appeared, and as they went deeper into the mountains and forests, the grass and trees began to flourish, and the big trees that the two hugged together gradually increased, and Inoue even saw a towering tree that only four people could hug.

"Nakai Shaosa should like it here, this is a good place to camp" After walking forward for more than ten meters, a mountain stream appeared in Hashimoto's sight, and the big trees shaded the sun, coupled with this mountain stream, Hashimoto guessed that Nakai would definitely use this as a campsite. "Inoue, you go to the edge of the mountain forest to signal Nakai Shaosa, everything is safe here" The desire for the cold stream water made the uneasiness that Hashimoto was suppressing in his heart dissipate a lot, and he couldn't wait to investigate the surroundings, he immediately sent Inoue back to signal Nakai Heiichiro, and he himself followed the other team members to the mountain stream.

"Hmm, it's so comfortable" Half a pot of water in the stream, Hashimoto was wiping the water droplets on his chin, and he just wanted to fall asleep immediately. "Kuroki, you and Sato each take two people to reconnoiter around, and I need you to complete the reconnaissance before they arrive" Hashimoto arranged for his two subordinates to reconnoiter along both sides of the mountain stream, and he himself took the remaining nine people to prepare to start building a defensive line in situ. No matter where they were, the first thing they did to stop the march was to build a defensive line, which was what their commander Heiichiro Nakai had told them on the first day, that they had to learn to defend before they learned to fight.

Trees, rocks, and bushes were all cover that Hashimoto could use when they built a defensive line, and Hashimoto knew that the 10 of them were a little small, but Heiichiro Nakai, who was leading the brigade, would soon arrive here. "Hanada, you and the mountain go down to the left wing, Shigemon, you and the water town go to the right wing" Hashimoto Masa's arrangement has not yet been completed, and the mutation suddenly came, and a few black lights suddenly flew out from the mountains and forests, shooting towards Hashimoto Zheng and them by the mountain stream.

The black light appeared so suddenly that Hashimoto didn't have time to watch out for it, "Ah" Hashimoto was too late to notice the change, and he only had time to let out a half-scream when an iron arrow shot through his mouth, and the bloody arrow came out of the back of his head through his mouth.
