Kagesa stood on the roof of the tallest building in the village, observing with a telescope. He was always squatting for fear of being seen. Nehru, who was squatting on the side, was a little strange, the major general was fine in the morning, and he was waiting to greet the Japanese army, why did he suddenly become inexplicably nervous? Nehru naturally did not know how to analyze intelligence, and felt that the major general was a little nervous. Isn't it just a cowherd kid who says he sees cavalry? Perhaps it was the scattered cavalry, and the cavalry itself did not represent a large part following.

"How are the sheep running around on the hill over there?" Kagesa asked the child next to him that since he rewarded the cowherd baby with toffee, several of the child's cousins scrambled to listen to the errand beside Kagesa. Translated by Jawaharlal Nehru.

"That's Old Poole's flock, and their dog is smart enough not to let the sheep run away. Something must have happened. The child said (Nehru did not translate at the same time).

"Oh, that dog isn't there?"

Kagesa Zhenzhao's heart palpitated, the old man was sent by him to check the north, which was the place where the cavalry was seen in the morning.

He dropped his binoculars and the child and dragged Nehru downstairs.

"I think we're going to have to get out of here for a while."

"Why? Just because you see a few cavalry? It's close to the road, and it's not uncommon for some cavalry to come down and take a look. ”

"Maybe so, but our intelligence community says: Suspicious is the best friend; And my personal habit is to avoid and make people laugh at it, but also to stay away from risks. You go with me. Go to the west and meet our team and come back. ”

"Then I'll go and set up a car."

"Okay, I'll have my people sort out the radio and cipher code first, and I'll have to take them with me. After 10 minutes, meet in the west of the village. ”

"Your wives?"

"I don't know where I went to the door in the morning, it's too late to look for it, let's go first."

On the roof, the boy grabbed the telescope and looked around, and the shadow left the telescope here. Of course, this little kid doesn't have a concept of concealment, and he doesn't know how to hide from the sun's reflection, so he just feels fresh and looks around. Soon the glittering reflection was spotted by the Chinese army in the distance. The report said that there was a reconnaissance post on the commanding heights, which contributed to the determination of Pavilion Chief Chu, who was originally going to contact 419 before attacking, but it seemed that it was too late. He quickly ordered an M3 half-track to drive to the edge of the woods and shoot at the rooftop observation post, making sure to kill the sentry. At the same time, he ordered the cavalry to go out, first to surround the village, and then to attack the infantry, and he instructed not to kill the natives indiscriminately, as for the Japanese, it is best to catch them alive.

The machine gun rang out, and Kagesaki, who was sorting out items with several Japanese intelligence officers, was shocked, afraid that something was coming. He hurried to the window to look out, and saw about a group of cavalry rushing down the uphill slope, and saw that the formation did not come in directly, but surrounded the village first.

"General, what should I do?" The deputy asked.

"You can only fight hard," Kagesa Zhenzhao took the saber from the wall, "You and the Captain Omura go outside to resist, be sure to drag the enemy, and drag until the reinforcements arrive, and I will burn the documents here." ”

"Yes."

Several Japanese soldiers grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the house, one of them with a rather crooked handle.

As soon as they left, Kagesa Zhenzhao threw his saber to the ground, and after his imperial saber was captured by the British, he carried a shoddy saber with him, in fact, to hide his identity.

Kagesa smashed the oil lamp and threw it on a pile of papers, but thought that if it was lit, the room would smoke and become the target of the enemy, and anyway, the important information was in his head, and these books were not important. So I hurriedly went downstairs and wanted to slip away.

Wherever he went, he would observe the retreat in advance and analyze various escape plans. It was obviously too late to go to Nehru now, and the ox carts were no faster than the cavalry. Fleeing from the south of the village, I am afraid that I can't outrun on two legs and four legs, and I am wearing glasses and I look like an East Asian, even if I am wearing West Bengali clothes, I am easy to recognize. There is also a road, which is the hiding hole of the old man's family, their family used to use this hole to prevent nearby bandits, this hole is very secret, and only he and his two wives know about it.

By the time he reached the yard stable, there was already a commotion outside, and the bewildered Indians were running around.

He pulled away the straw, found the plank and uncovered it vigorously, then went down, only to find that the plank on his head was uneven, and it was not tightly fitted. Outside, there was a lot of gunfire, and when the cavalry surrounded the village with lightning speed, it was right that they did not flee in the wilderness.

Chu Tingchang and Guo Rugui watched the battle on the hillside. There were several half-tracked vehicles next to it as fire support, and Japanese troops really appeared in the village, but there were not many of them, probably a few dozen. He didn't want the cavalry to rush to increase casualties, and he didn't want to expose the tank too early, so he suppressed it with a 12.7mm machine gun on a half-track.

In fact, this vehicle-mounted weapon was more effective against adobe walls or wooden houses than cannons. He also had to keep his troops on guard for possible enemy reinforcements, he didn't know the location of the Nankai detachment, but it was common sense that Japanese intelligence units would always appear one step ahead of their divisions, and in turn intelligence units would not appear in unrelated places on the offensive route for no reason.

The half-track began to advance, luring out the Japanese light machine gun counterattack, which was quickly suppressed by the heavy machine gun, and the mortar fired several times, destroying the machine gun in one fell swoop. Guo Rugui was surprised that Chu Tingchang's troops counterattacked so quickly and accurately.

"Brother Chu really led the troops well, and the mortars hit so accurately. I look at the domestic troops, but I can't do it? ”

"Hahaha, how can I talk about leading soldiers to have a room," Chu Tingchang pretended to be modest, "However, when it comes to training, I only have two things, one is to learn from the Americans, and I don't hesitate to practice more artillery shells, and the other is to strengthen range-finding training. If one test shot had been fired, and a few more rounds had been corrected, it would not have been in place, and the enemy's machine guns would have run away long ago. My request was that the two shots had to reach 5 meters near the enemy's machine-gun position. With these boastful words, he seemed to have picked himself out of the army.

"Oh, I see."

The infantry began to charge, and under the cover of machine guns, attacked the village, and it seemed that the attack was unusually smooth.

Gunfire erupted in the village. It looks like the battle is almost over.

"Report, 25 Japanese soldiers were eliminated and 11 rifles were captured." Zhao Xiaoli, the commander of the guard company, reported through a walkie-talkie.

"Director Guo, let's go and see if there are any important people in the corpses? I bet there is at least one Shaozo. Chief Chu sent out an invitation.

"Let's go and have a look."

Guo Rugui watched Chu Tingchang talk and laugh and reimburse dozens of enemies, dealing with small stocks like crushing a chicken and a dog, which is really fascinating. He was in China, and he had also seen a small group of Japanese soldiers seize a county town from a security regiment.

The two entered the village, the common people had been controlled, rushed to the open space in front of the temple in the center of the village and sat down, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were still on the side of the road, and the result disappointed Chu Tingchang, the biggest official position was lieutenant, no prisoners were captured, and the last Japanese soldier detonated * and committed suicide. Two shoddy sabers were captured, and it didn't look like a place where high-ranking officers had stayed. This made Chu Tingchang a little embarrassed, and they immediately went to the landlord's compound where the Japanese radio station was hidden. When they arrived at the center of the courtyard, they were searching, and someone came out with a radio.

"Master, I found the code book, and I was drenched in oil, but I didn't have time to burn it."

"Well, a great achievement, have you found any traces of a high-ranking officer living there?" He was still a little unwilling.

"Nope. It looks like a squad department. ”

"Squad with radio? Zhao Xiaoli, you have a little brain, okay? ”

"Yes, I'll take someone to search again. Dig three feet into the ground, and find out the big officials. ”

Guo Rugui saw that Chu Tingchang was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but look at it with a smile.

"Report, caught an Indian in leather shoes at the head of the village, and found a pistol."

"Bring it in and ask."

Two soldiers dragged a terrified Nehru in. As soon as the soldier let go, he fell to his knees.

"It's a pity that there is no translation," said Zhao Xiaoli, the commander of the guard company, "Look at this cowardice, it is not an important role, it has collapsed." ”

As he spoke, he drew his pistol, and Nehru was so talented that he could guess from the other man's demeanor that he was in a bad situation.

"I speak English. I speak English. ”

Chu Tingchang was taken aback, it seems that this person can ask some famous words.

"Name?" He asked lazily.

"Jawaharlal Nehru."

Chu Tingchang came over and squatted down, carefully examined this person, not sure if it was a politician of later generations, maybe it was just the same name? It seemed to him that Indian intellectuals all looked about the same.

"Listen, I'll ask you, if you are dishonest, I won't ask you a second time." Chu Tingchang untied the holster of the pistol and said in English.

"Yes." Nehru's face was sweating profusely.

"The supreme commander of the Japanese here is ......"

"It's Akira Kagesa." Nehru almost rushed to answer, and said the answer without waiting for Chief Chu to finish asking.

"Impossible."

"It's true, it's true."

Chu Tingchang stood smart, he thought that Nehru was instigated like this, why did he lie to me? Moreover, the action of killing the eyeshadow Zuo Zhenzhao was done by Lin Xiuxuan with someone, and it must be said that there are not many times when Lin is reliable. He used to admire Lin Xiuxuan very much, but now he has some other opinions.

"Where are the others?"

"He ran away and went to the east to find the Japanese army." Nehru hastened to reply.

Not far away, under the livestock shed, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao could clearly hear Nehru's words, and thought, this person who asked is Chu Tingchang? He had just heard someone call him for a master's seat. Although Kagesa spared his life, he was a little bold, and quietly looked out through the gap in the wooden plank on his head. Nehru can be seen kneeling down and his long legs walking around Nehru, and for the time being, you can't see your face, you can only hear Hokkien English.

"What did he leave behind?"

"He stayed...... That's right, his wife. This house was his wife's dowry, and they usually lived here. ”

"Can you recognize it?"

"Yes."

"Go to the square and find out Kagesa Zhenzhao's wife."

"Yes."

The soldiers hurriedly dragged Nehru out.

Chu Tingchang stood and looked at the three-story buildings around him, but Ying Zuo Zhenzhao had found a good place for himself. If there is time, this place should be demolished and searched carefully, but the Japanese army may come back at any time, and he must use the fastest speed to confirm whether he has escaped or where he is hiding, and usually the most secret things, such as hiding places, or the password to the safe, will only be told to his wife.

After a while, there was a noise outside, and two Indian girls were dragged into the yard.

"Master, that's it. It doesn't look open, so the Japanese official is too much of a thing. ”

"Ask where their man is."

This time it was Nehru's turn to translate.

"They won't say they will kill them."
