Seeing Lin Xiuxuan get up, Wen Shizhen was a little anxious, he watched Lin pacing around in front of him with his mouth half-open, occasionally stopping, but he wanted to speak and stopped, and the more he looked, the more he intersected.

Wen has a high regard for this fortune teller. Originally, this time he was just looking for someone to tell his fortune to relieve anxiety, and he didn't believe in these things very much.

As soon as Mr. Lin came in, he noticed that this person was completely different from those Jianghu characters, and after a while, he found that he had a wide range of knowledge, and his conversation was very reliable. He himself was worried that if the Japanese continued to do so as they were now, they would fail in a few years, and if the tree fell, what would happen to him, the monkey, where would he go? In the past six months, I have gone to Cuimingzhuang in Beiping to pay homage to Gang Cun Ning many times, and I have learned some bad news, and the Japanese base camp has been pumping out troops from North China and replacing them with newly programmed mixed brigades in China. In this year's May Day Sweep, he saddled his horse and raised food and wages, migrant workers, and arranged for the transportation of the wounded for the Japanese army. He knew how serious the situation was. The seriously wounded who were transferred from the front line to Tianjin alone were several thousand. In the past, the Japanese army in North China had never been so cramped. In other words, either the Eighth Route Army became stronger, or the Japanese became weaker, or both. There is also an ominous atmosphere in the officialdom of the puppet government in North China, and there are rumors that there is a military god in Burma who swept away a number of Japanese divisions, and the myth of the Japanese invincibility is not at all effective in his life.

"Sir, since there is a calamity, what is the way to solve it?" He let go of his reserve and asked.

"Master, my innate way, is indeed more intensive in the congenital, with the position of gossip, the direction of the texture to break the blessing and misfortune, but this palm pattern change, but not congenital, I look at the right palm pattern sudden change turn, it seems to be right in front of me. Say something offensive, my lord has been doing something wrong recently, and has damaged his morality? ”

"This ......"

"Numerology is like chess, in a chess game, you may not be able to understand the situation, but you must know that if you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game."

"Don't hide it, sir, there is indeed an incident recently, which goes against the original intention and is bound to harm the villagers in Tianjin...... But now it's really hard to get out. ”

"Can you talk about it in detail, and I'll see if I can crack it?"

Wen Shizhen hesitated, he felt that the matter was up to now, he might as well say it and let Mr. hear it, of course, he also felt that the matter was not confidential, isn't it that the Japanese are going to requisition people and land again, and within a month or two, the city will inevitably be full of wind and rain, and it is okay to say it now.

"Speaking of the reason, it's not the Japanese yet. I wanted to build a chemical factory in North China, but other places were not very peaceful, so I took a fancy to this place, and I decided to do this thing, and I would solve it within a month. ”

"Got a location?"

"This location also helps to solve the scourge?"

"Master doesn't know, each of these things depends on the direction of the five elements, and the method of cracking it also varies from place to place, slightly different."

"The place has not yet been decided, the first choice is Jiudaogou in the southeast, and 16,000 people must be moved, followed by Daegu Village in the southwest, with a larger population. There are two alternatives. ”

Lin Xiuxuan thought to himself, what kind of calculation did Ying Zuozhen Zhao make, really went to North China to use the gas diffusion method to make * materials? Doesn't seem possible? Where does the electricity come from? Or is it to build chemical weapons? It's kind of like that. Of course, it depended on what they had salvaged, and he knew that Kasuga Maru also had information on the Japanese hidden nervous anger.

"I see...... The old man is in the seventh and eighth months of the lunar calendar, the most taboo southwest groundbreaking, the groundbreaking is Sun Yinde, hurting Yang Shou, the Japanese affairs must be delayed. Now that the Japanese are advocating goodwill, the tone is not low, and the old man can take advantage of their temporary gentleness to seek some stability for his father and fellow villagers, and he will have good fortune in the future. ”

"Thank you, sir, for teaching me."

Wen Shizhen got up and bowed deeply to Lin Xiuxuan.

In the jungles of northern Burma, Chu Tingchang's two reconnaissance troops had already set off and were heading towards the area he had designated. Xu Chong and Ma Qiang each led a team, each with several U.S. troops, including communications and surveying personnel.

Acting with Xu Chong was Ensign Herbert Sober of the 101st Division Training Camp, the second lieutenant was tall and slightly uncoordinated, he graduated from the Supplementary Officer Academy, and was the most important little brother of Zink, and he was bound to be the backbone of the company commander in the future. However, Second Lieutenant Sauber had no experience in jungle marching and was a complete layman. Always holding a map in his hand, he walked straight to the front of the line. Xu Chong reminded him countless times that the jungle here was full of Japanese snipers, but the second lieutenant didn't listen much.

Like all self-righteous Americans, the second lieutenant felt that he had received rigorous and correct training, and naturally understood better than these Asians what war was. After he observed the ceremony of inviting the gods of Pavilion Chief Chu from the sidelines, he strengthened this point of view - these people fighting wars are child's play. Of course, in Xu Chong's view, the training of the second lieutenant was not sufficient at all, not to mention reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and even the basic map interpretation ability was very lacking. He has been frowning and looking at the map, but it is difficult to find his location from the map, if he follows him, then he will not be able to get to the place that Chu Tingchang wants them to go in the next life, and there is a high probability that he will encounter the scattered Japanese troops in the jungle.

On the first day of the march, just after entering the control of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, Second Lieutenant Sober arbitrarily judged that there would be no hope of continuing on, of course, after seeing Chu Tingchang's foolish request, the American army began to disagree with this reconnaissance operation, and then saw the endless Rakhine Mountains here, anyone would have a resentful thought. It is worthless to feel that your actions are completely guided by the divine stick.

Early the next morning, Second Lieutenant Sober, who had been bitten by mosquitoes for refusing to use mosquito repellent made by Chinese soldiers using herbs, complained to Major Zinke over the radio and informed his superiors of his judgment. Major Zinke told him to move forward and that he had to reach the assigned position. Even if you don't find a place to land, try to reconnoiter the deployment of troops and road conditions behind enemy lines. Zink reminded him that time was already running out and that he had to act in a few days.

Such a time-limited and very cramped action is naturally not the most correct way for Zink, but behind them is Stilwell under heavy pressure, and behind Stilwell is Marshall and Roosevelt, and the entire Axis is seizing this matter to focus on propaganda, and soon there will be reporters from France and Belgium to "investigate" the racial segregation issue in the US military, which is an extremely embarrassing moment for the United States, which is in need of internal integration and unity with the outside world. A significant proportion of the engineers, transports, and cooks in this unit were black. And in the U.S. military, black soldiers and white soldiers still can't stay, eat, or even drink in the same place. Essentially, it's a fly biting a slit egg.

The Japanese 2nd Mixed Brigade was retreating, and the surviving remnants of the Ichiki detachment were scattered, occupying the main passage in the jungle, making it necessary for Xu Chong's reconnaissance force to find some more hidden roads. Xu Chong is an expert in this field, and his search unit is also a master of jungle warfare, and it is completely possible to quietly pass by the side across the 50-meter-wide jungle from the Japanese, but the biggest problem is that the Americans in the army do not have such skills, but they feel good about themselves.

At noon, the conflict between Xu Chong and Sober finally broke out, and Sober found that Xu Chong had missed an obvious path in front of him, and instead went to the thorn bush where there was no road at all. Xu Chong knew that although there were no traces of the Japanese army on that road, there were many traces of rattan cutting, and it was likely to be the road of the Meng hunters, and the Mon people, as allies of the Japanese army, would appear on the map of the Japanese. But his English was not good enough to express his thoughts clearly to Sauber.

In the end, Sauber threatened to part ways, but Xu Chong couldn't resist him and was forced to follow them. He arranged for the top soldiers to go to the front and make a trip for the large army to see if there were any traces of the Japanese army, but the American troops went too fast and often overtook the top soldiers. The march lasted until 2 p.m., and sure enough, there were no Japanese encounters, which strengthened Second Lieutenant Sober's judgment that he was right.

The area where they were located was only separated by a mountain, less than 10 kilometers from the place designated by Chu Tingchang. The second lieutenant felt that he should follow his feelings to the southwest instead of climbing over the ridge in front of him. That would have led to the possibility of missing the clearing. The two sides quarreled again, and in the end, because of the language barrier, there was no result. Second Lieutenant Sober decided to throw out his own plan again, and Xu Chong compromised again. The second lieutenant had long tasted the sweetness of willfulness, knowing that this group of Chinese could only follow him in vain. Although he did not know why, as a Jew, he would never give up his advantage and not take advantage of it.

During the march, they found the bodies of the slaughtered American soldiers in the valley, and these soldiers were American scouts who were thrown here by planes for a one-way reconnaissance mission more than half a month ago. Stilwell threw in a dozen two-man teams, none of which have survived. Most of the team was killed by the Japanese, and the rest disappeared into the jungle after the radio battery ran out, and they would have become a number in the missing column counted by Stilwell's staff.

The corpses were mutilated, but it is not difficult to tell that they were stabbed to death with bayonets, indicating that the Japanese were present here. Still lucky, Sauber decided to keep going, and an hour later, the wreckage of a Vickers armored car discarded a few months ago with a Japanese plaster flag was found, indicating that the road must be on the Japanese map.

The second lieutenant was still stubborn, and he couldn't bear the paths he had found in Xu Chong that required a machete to cut through the vines to walk, and those paths were full of mosquitoes and miasma, and they were really not walked by people. If he had been wiser, it would not have been difficult for him to figure out that the easier the path he took, the greater the chance of encountering the Japanese army.

In the evening, the second lieutenant once again rushed in front of Xu Chong's spearhead, and without any concealment, he stood at the intersection to check the map, with his back to a round of sunset. Of course, there is no north to be found at all. His ability to interpret maps is limited to finding obvious landmarks, such as mountains or rivers, and then finding their locations, where the course of the river is not fixed. The undulating terrain in the vicinity makes it difficult to find the corresponding mountain from the contour line.
