Chapter 52 Carrier Pigeon

The purpose of the Japanese advance team is obvious, which is to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and destroy it.

Su Qing and Team Leader Zheng joined Captain Sun and more than a hundred soldiers to search the places that had been searched during the battle, inch by inch. In the end, they still could not find the missing Japanese figure.

You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die. Judging from the captured Japanese reconnaissance records, the reconnaissance range of the Japanese is very close to the division headquarters. Even if one Japanese escapes the net, it will be a major risk to the division headquarters. At all costs,

We must also find this devil who slipped through the net.

Su Qing and Team Leader Zheng stood far away on a high ground in the ravine.

In the valley, there are jagged rocks, dense trees and shrubs, and a small stream on the roadside. The soldiers even searched every tree. There were always soldiers acting as vanguards at the mountain pass, guarded by open and covert sentries, but there was no one there.

Withdraw, the Japs definitely have no chance to leave, which means that the Japs are still in this valley. Damn it, where can the Japs hide?

Su Qing recalled the scene of him climbing out at the wine station. The terrain of the valley was simpler than that of the wine station. It was impossible for the Japs to get out. The Eighth Route Army could go up to the sky and enter the earth. The Japs should also be able to do it. Did they enter the earth?

Captain Sun Dal was called over.

Su Qing asked: "Is there a hole in the ground where I can hide?"

"I've searched all possible hiding places, but I can't find any." He looked frustrated.

"Clean up all the places on the ground that have traces of excavation again!"

"I didn't pay attention to this. Arrange it immediately!"

An hour passed, but no suspicious places were found. Most of them were rocks. The soldiers did not even miss the cracks in the rocks, but still no trace of the Japanese was found.

In addition to flying, the Japs...could they go to the sky? There are steep cliffs on both sides. For climbing, even the Nine Company can do it. There is no reason why the elite of the Japs advancing team can't do it. It is entirely possible for the Japs to go to the sky!

Su Qing issued the order again: "Clean up the places on the cliff where you may be able to climb up. If you can't find them again, go back to the division and report the situation."

Company Commander Sun looked at Su Qing, who is this woman? Team Leader Zheng obeyed her advice, and he didn't withdraw anyway. He treated a dead horse like a living horse. At least he had an idea, which was better than wandering around.

After a while, boom? There was an explosion from the cliff. It was a grenade from the Japs. The Japs should have been discovered.

The correspondent quickly came to Team Leader Zheng Su Qing: "Found it, found it, hehe, the Japs climbed up a cliff. The company commander said that it was probably the group of Japs that had been eliminated who set up a ladder to send the Japs up.

of."

"Where is it? Let's go and have a look."

"No, the Japs are still up there. There is no cover below. There is no way for a person to climb up there. There is a depression in the middle of the cliff. The Japs are hiding there. They cannot be found from below. Comrades found fresh traces on the mountain wall.

, when he was about to go up to search, the Japanese dropped a grenade, injuring five or six people, and one soldier died." His expression became gloomy.

Now that the Japs location has been found, hundreds of people have gathered around him. Unless the Japs have wings, there is no way they can escape.

After a while, Company Commander Zheng came over and thanked Su Qing with a smile and a heartbroken look on his face: "If it weren't for you, this Japs would have been able to escape, but now it's very troublesome. If the Japs don't come down, we won't be able to get close.

, several soldiers have been injured or killed, and we can’t fight anymore, so we can only wear them down slowly.”

Team Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good that we found it, otherwise, the division headquarters may have to move."

"It's okay. I've been surrounded by people. I don't believe it. How long can that devil stay up there? I can't kill him, but I'll starve him to death!"

"Okay, if there's nothing else, we still have a mission, so we'll leave first. Remember, there are still two Japanese advancing teams. You still have to work hard and don't lose the prestige of the Beishan Regiment. Have you informed your battalion commander?"

"I've sent someone to notify you. The battalion commander is in the company. Since you are going south, I will send a squad of soldiers to escort you. Otherwise, with just a few of you, you will be in big trouble if you encounter the Japanese advance team."

Team leader Zheng responded calmly: "No, there are quite a few of us, and the Japanese advance team doesn't dare to carry out activities in a big way."

"That won't work, old instructor. I haven't fully completed my mission here yet. After I kill this devil, I have to support the battalion commander and the others. It doesn't matter if I lose one squad.

"Director Su has helped us a lot this time. This matter has been settled. There are still many things to do now. I have to deal with this devil first. I will treat you to a drink next time."

Su Qing was a little confused: "How high is the devil on the cliff?"

"The steep part below is six or seven meters."

"It's not too high, and there's no need to wait. Just let the devil come down by himself."

"Come down by yourself. Isn't your head caught in the door? No, no, I said my head was caught in the door. How could the Japanese come down by themselves? Is there water in your brain?"

"Burn with fire."

The scene of a roasted pig appeared in Captain Sun's mind, and he beamed with joy. He called the correspondent next to him: "Did you hear that? Use fire to burn the bastards up there into roasted pigs. Hurry up and let the soldiers in the first platoon find a way to cover them.

Set fire near the cliff!"

Su Qing stared blankly at a cage covered with cloth that the soldiers had thrown on the ground: "Company Commander Sun, did you bring this cage over?"

"No, it should be the live chickens that the Japanese soldiers brought for food preparation. They found them when they killed those Japanese soldiers. They are made very strong and are going to be taken back to raise chickens."

"Raising chickens? Do we need cages to raise chickens? If the chickens are so small, can they move freely? Raising pigeons is more or less the same!" Section Chief Zheng also became interested.

Su Qing was shocked and thought for a moment: "The pigeons, the devils may be carrying pigeons to convey messages."

Captain Sun curled his lips, "Can pigeons carry messages? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"It is entirely possible that our ancestors invented the flying pigeon to send messages a long time ago. Later, during the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese learned this method of communication after visiting them."

"Director Su, you know so much! But why didn't our Eighth Route Army use it? It's much faster than running errands, right?"

"We are fighting guerrilla warfare and have no fixed residence. Carrier pigeons are not suitable for us. There are radio stations at the regiment level and part of the brigade headquarters, but they gave us a reminder that the division headquarters will not move but we can have one-way communication."

"No, when we marched eastward, we also saw pigeons flying around in the Japanese artillery towers. Soldiers also shot pigeons. The pigeons were also covered with aluminum tubes with strange numbers on them. We didn't think much about it and just drank it.

Had soup twice.”

"This is more confirming that the information transmitted by the Japs is encrypted. According to the Japs' report, the Japs advancing troops into the mountains often stay for a month or two once they are out. They dress up as the Eighth Route Army and cannot bring radio stations. Moreover,

The radio itself consumes a lot of power and the battery doesn't last long, so the cage must be filled with pigeons." Su Qing's analysis was reasonable.

Team leader Zheng was doubtful: "Pigeons are flying in the sky, but there's nothing we can do about this flat-haired beast?"

"Immediately send someone to the Division Headquarters Enemy Engineering Section to report and suggest organizing soldiers in the plains to shoot pigeons. At the same time, consider using pigeons for encrypted communications among the brigades and regiments under the division."
