When I woke up, the sunset had just set.

Wei Dayong felt his stomach growling with hunger, so he filled his belly and packed his things properly. By this time, the sky was already dark.

The water beneath your feet is sparkling, giving you the illusion of being unfathomable.

He looked over at Yaojia Town. A row of torches had been placed outside the watchtower, lighting up the night sky.

Wei Dayong moved his muscles and bones a little, hugged the piece of driftwood, and returned to the water.

He slightly avoided the front of the sentry post and began to move in the direction of Yaojia Town in a curved trajectory.

At this time, the sky was dim and the crescent moon had not yet hung on the branches. Although the field of vision over the sentry post was wide, the range of human vision was limited after all. Everything on the water was only vague shadows.

Wei Dayong's movements were gentle and steady. With the help of driftwood, he could maintain a certain speed without expending a lot of energy.

Soon, Wei Dayong arrived at the foot of the mountain in Yaojia Town.

The position he was currently in was to the side and rear of the sentry post, and the distance between them was approximately less than 50 meters.

The reason why we chose to land here is because the vegetation here is relatively lush, easy to climb, and can also cover our tracks.

Wei Dayong had observed the broken wall further away from the sentry post. There was a bare stone wall. If you were not careful when climbing at night, you would fall into the water.

Moreover, during the climb, you are likely to encounter loose stones. If they fall into the water, they will make too much noise and easily alert the sentries.

Wei Dayong abandoned the driftwood, and like a dexterous ape, climbed onto the branch above his head with a beautiful turn.

Along the branch of the tree, Wei Dayong used his hands and feet to climb up quickly and lightly without making any sound, and soon reached the wooden fence.

Looking at the Japanese guard post again, I didn't notice it at all. Outsiders had already touched it right under my nose.

Yao Cheng once said that there was a damaged spot in a corner of the wooden fence outside Yaojia Town, and he escaped from there.

But now that the Japanese have discovered that loophole, there's no way they can't fix it. Trying to sneak into the town from there again is simply a fantasy.

If it were another person who arrived at this place and faced a tightly packed fence more than two meters high, with no place to draw strength from, he would probably be helpless and helpless.

But this is not a problem for Wei Dayong.

I saw him using his fingers to grasp the gaps between the fences tightly with the fingers of both hands. With just the strength of a few fingers, he was like a big gecko, moving along the vertical wood, seemingly without any movement.

Climbed up with great effort.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Dayong climbed over the wooden fence, spread his arms as if jumping into a pile of cotton, and landed quietly on the ground.

At this point, he is alone and has entered an area full of danger and murderous intent. If he is not careful, he may die without a burial place.

However, Wei Dayong was brave and careful, so he didn't feel scared at all.

He looked around.

This is a gathering area of ​​houses, but it's pitch dark everywhere, without any lights or candles -

Everyone was concentrated and detained in the ancestral hall, and the houses here were empty.

Wei Dayong remembered that Yao Cheng once told him that the location of the ancestral hall was diagonally opposite the town hall, and its characteristic was that it had an earthy yellow wall.

The town hall is the only three-story masonry building in the town, and it is very conspicuous even at night.

From where Wei Dayong was standing, he could clearly see the light from the oil lamps on the third floor window of the town office.

He calmed down, took off his baggage and changed into a drier monk's robe, put on his shoes and socks, then faced the direction of the town hall and followed the path.

According to Yao Cheng, although this place has fallen into the clutches of the Japanese, the number of Japanese soldiers entrenched here is not very large.

Yao Cheng did not give an exact number of people.

But he once pointed out with great certainty that the total number of Japanese soldiers would never exceed 100.

It is possible that the Japanese thought that there were no decent armed personnel in Yaojia Town and that there was no need to send too many troops to kill a chicken with a bull's-eye.

Of course, it is also possible that the Japanese soldiers encountered a flood on the way and lost a group of soldiers, leaving only a few dozen people who fled to Yaojia Town.

In such a big town, with less than a hundred troops, it is natural that the cordon cannot be deployed in an all-round way.

It stands to reason that after the flood, there will be a vast expanse of land outside the town, so there will probably be no danger factors.

But Qingtian is a very cautious guy, and these are extraordinary times. There was an escape incident yesterday. He feels that he is alone outside and needs to be more careful.

He divided his men into two teams and rested alternately, so that half of the soldiers were always ready for battle.

The enemy's key defense positions were intersections, ancestral halls and town halls, supplemented by regular patrols on the streets.

In addition, Qingtian also specially set up swimming sentries and latent sentries at the most critical locations.

The soldiers below were somewhat disapproving of this, thinking that the captain was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Because after the flood, Yaojia Town can be said to have been isolated from the world. Except for one wounded person, no one was seen approaching here.

It can be seen that the coverage of this flood must be very wide, and no outsiders will enter here in the short term.

However, Lieutenant Qingtian remained unmoved and arranged the defense work meticulously in accordance with wartime regulations.

If Qingtian had enough troops, it would be more difficult for Wei Dayong to enter the palm-sized Yaojia Town than to reach the sky.

Fortunately, the total number of Japanese soldiers on duty was less than 50. After being spread out in several places, many flaws would inevitably be exposed.

This made Wei Dayong's infiltration quite smooth.

Soon, he avoided the patrols on the street and came to the intersection diagonally opposite the ancestral hall gate.

From here, you have to cross the main street, and then you can use the cover of the houses to continue moving forward without being noticed.

The main street, with a total length of less than 100 meters, is lined with two-story wooden buildings on both sides, with shops on the ground floor and people living upstairs.

The shops are all connected together, and there are no lanes in the middle for walking and hiding.

At a glance, there are about thirty or forty shops on this street.

But now all the shops have their doors closed, and the people inside are either locked up in the ancestral hall or killed.

Wei Dayong noticed that in the middle of the main street, diagonally opposite where he was, there was a cloth shop with a very wide door, with three bays, and two large wooden pillars in front of the door, which were five feet wide.

Bamboo strips awning.

This is the property of Yao Baochang, so these two pillars occupy the street, and no one dares to say "no".

Wei Dayong did not act rashly. He squatted close to the wall and carefully poked half of his head out to peek out.

As expected, about 50 meters diagonally opposite him, the door of the ancestral hall was closed tightly, with two Japanese soldiers standing on either side of the door.

Opposite the two Japanese soldiers, at the entrance of the town hall, there were also two sentries.

The distance between the two is very close, and they can support each other in the event of an accident.

It seems that from the front, it is impossible to approach the ancestral hall without alerting the Japanese soldiers.

Wei Dayong thought for a while and decided to cross the opposite side of the street first, then touch all the way to the front, and then go around to the backyard of the ancestral hall to see the situation.

But the middle of the street was empty, and there was nothing to cover him. He had to run as fast as possible behind the pillar of the cloth shop diagonally across the street in order to avoid being discovered.
Chapter completed!
