191, Bloody Tiesaw Ridge 75

There is no doubt that Monk Wei is a decisive and decisive person.

He was born in Buddhism, and his murderous intent was swift and ruthless.

However, Monk Wei is not bloodthirsty.

On the battlefield, he could kill dozens of Japanese soldiers without hesitation, without blinking an eye.

However, outside the battlefield, Monk Wei would not kill easily unless absolutely necessary.

Just now in the toilet, Monk Wei started killing two people in a row to prevent his identity from being exposed.

As for "Broom Eyebrow", Monk Wei had no intention of harming him until the other party fled. If he didn't do anything, he would rush to the door and yell.

In desperation, Monk Wei could only kill him.

Now Musashi's life and death depend on Monk Wei's thoughts.

Even though Musashi, who was "loyal to the emperor and patriotic," made it clear that he would not surrender or cooperate, Monk Wei still did not kill him with a single blow.

After knocking Musashi unconscious, Monk Wei found two strips of cloth, tied Musashi's hands behind his back, and strangled his mouth tightly. In this way, even if Musashi woke up after a while, he would not be able to make any big noise.

Monk Wei glanced around the room, dragged Musashi to a corner, and covered him with a military blanket. If he only took a cursory look without a closer look, it would be difficult to detect his presence.

After taking care of Musashi, Monk Wei left this tent and moved to another place.

Several tents here gather together to form a community, which is what Monk Wei thinks is an ideal place.

Monk Wei looked around and saw that there was no one around. He got into one of the tents, took out a fire flint and other fire starters, directly ignited several marching blankets, and then threw the burning blankets on top of the tent's tarpaulin.

The flames roared and leapt up to Lao Gao.

Monk Wei quickly evacuated and went straight to the open space in the center of the camp, where the military vehicles were parked.

Colonel Dovetail was still standing there, supervising the soldiers checking the number of poison gas bombs.

At this moment, Kojiro realized that Musashi was not behind him.

It's just that this is a very safe barracks, so no accidents are likely to happen.

Musashi must have gone to the toilet in the back hut out of sudden panic, so Kojiro didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, someone discovered the dense area of ​​the tents, and thick smoke was coming out. He hurriedly pointed there and shouted: "It's not good! The tents are on fire! Put out the fire quickly!"

As soon as Commander Jiuwei heard the cry, he looked in the direction of the man's finger, and sure enough he saw flames jumping up. Lao Gao was shocked:

If the fire spreads, the entire barracks will be burned down!

By then all the weapons and equipment in the barracks will be burned to the ground.

If that's the case, let alone attacking the first high ground, I'm afraid the Dovetail Regiment won't even have a foothold, and the only way to retreat is to retreat.

Colonel Jiuwei, who had always kept his emotions secret, was in a panic at this moment and immediately ordered: "Everyone rush to put out the fire immediately! Quick, quick, quick!"

The soldiers around were busy looking for buckets and shovels, and they rushed towards the fire, splashing water and shoveling soil, they were very busy.

Fortunately, the fire had just started and was not violent. Hundreds of soldiers were busy and immediately controlled the spread of the fire.

As the supreme commander here, Captain Hatio naturally did not have to go shirtless to fight the fire in person. He just stepped forward a little distance to observe the fire-fighting scene.

Kojiro did not lose his position. On the contrary, he followed Colonel Hatio very calmly, keeping an expressionless expression on his face.

After just one glance at the fire, Kojiro concluded that it would not be difficult to extinguish the fire.

He has always been a very considerate person, and he immediately thought, could this be arson?

The barracks management regulations of all units of the Botian detachment are very strict. No matter officers or soldiers, smoking is prohibited in the dormitories where tents are gathered, unless it is in an open outdoor area.

Not only that, even starting a fire in the tent is not allowed. Once the violation is discovered by the superior, he will be directly detained for three days.

Under such strict management regulations, Kojiro had never heard of a fire in the barracks of the various regiments of the Hasada detachment.

At this time, the staff officer who directed the fire extinguishing came back and reported to Colonel Jiuwei: "Your Majesty Colonel, the fire has been put out, please give instructions!"

Colonel Jiwei asked with a gloomy face: "Do you know why the fire started? Are there any casualties?"

The staff officer replied respectfully: "Report to Colonel, the cause of the fire is unknown, no casualties were found at the scene, and no other suspicious circumstances were found."

Colonel Jiwei nodded and was about to continue asking questions when Kojiro interrupted and said, "Sir Colonel, can you let me see the situation at the fire scene?"

"sure!"

Commander Jiuwei agreed simply, but in his heart he disagreed. He said to himself, "My staff has already said that we can't find the cause of the fire. What else can you make?"

Due to Kojiro's prominent family background and the fact that this young man was a popular figure among Lieutenant General Namada and had a promising future, Colonel Hatio would certainly not speak out what was in his heart.

Although there was a two-level difference in military rank between the two, when talking to Kojiro, Colonel Hatio's tone always tried to keep both parties on an equal footing.

With Captain Hatio's permission, Kojiro quickly walked to the small piece of ruins.

Due to the timely discovery and extinguishment, the fire's burnt area was not large, and it only burned down a few tents used as temporary dormitories for soldiers.

These tents had been completely burned and collapsed, and the remaining parts that were not burned were in dilapidated condition, with only pieces of pitch-black canvas remaining.

Kojiro walked around the fire scene with lingering smoke, and he could basically conclude that the fire started from the innermost tent first.

He picked up a shovel from the ground and gently opened the surface of the canvas, revealing a large piece of ashes underneath.

Kojiro's eyes were immediately attracted by the pile of ashes.

It can be seen from the bits and pieces of residue that have not been completely burned that they are the marching blankets issued by the army to the soldiers.

Judging from the size of this pile of ashes, it should be the traces left after seven or eight marching blankets were piled together and burned.

The problem is that the first thing the soldiers do after getting up is to tidy up their personal bedding and place them in the designated locations. They will never pile up everyone's marching blankets in the room randomly!

Kojiro deduced from this that someone must have entered the tent, piled several marching blankets together, and then set it on fire!

In this case, it is very likely that the enemy has sneaked into the barracks of the Jiuwei Regiment!

This is a barracks. If the enemy wants to sneak in, the best way is to pretend to be a soldier of the imperial army, which can make people hard to detect!

Kojiro had no time to think about the man's motive for setting the fire. He had a more pressing question that needed to be confirmed -

So far, Musashi has not shown up yet. Could it be that...

Kojiro did not dare to think further, he shouted in his heart:
Chapter completed!
