It didn't take long. A dark shadow flashed in the dim bamboo forest. Takahashi Jiro turned his head and looked warily. He saw a thin figure quietly walking out of the bamboo forest on the side. His movements were extremely light. There was no sound from his feet. sound.
Takahashi Jiro knew in his heart that this thin black figure must be the Yoshida who was going to follow him and Saito to the top of the mountain. Sure enough, the person walked up to Saito silently and raised his hand in salute. Then he looked sharply at the person next to him. Takahashi Jiro took a look.
Saito looked at him and whispered: "You follow me and this Takahashi Jiro. This is the cousin of our deputy commander Takahashi." Then he turned to look at little Takahashi and introduced: "This is Yoshida ”.
Yoshida and Takahashi Jiro raised their hands to salute each other at the same time. Their eyes quickly looked at each other in the dim bamboo forest.
Saito immediately arranged a combat mission for Yoshida in a low voice. He then said to the two of them: "We are divided into two groups. The mission of Kameda and his team is mainly to contain the opponent's strength. Our mission is to choose an opportunity to secretly approach the top of the mountain to seize the treasure. Once we Go through the dense forest and approach the top of Lingxiu Mountain. Yoshida and I are responsible for covering. Takahashi Jiro, you are responsible for entering the cave and grabbing the treasure."
When he said this, there was a bright light in his eyes. He stared at Takahashi Jiro closely. Takahashi Jiro looked up at Saito in shock. He was surprised how he could entrust such an important task to himself. Speaking of which, There must be a large number of protection personnel ambushed around the entrance of the cave. The task of covering the entrance into the cave is the most dangerous and arduous.
Saito saw his surprised look and explained: "According to what you said about the situation in the cave, the cave is extremely cold. Neither Yoshida nor I have the kind of feminine skills you cultivate. Even if we enter the cave, we will still be there. The movement is slow in the extreme cold. Although your Fire Dragon Pill can temporarily resist this cold, it does not have a deep foundation of internal strength. Movement and thinking will definitely be affected. So you are the most suitable candidate to enter the cave to seize the treasure."
Takahashi Jiro nodded. He knew in his heart that he was indeed the best candidate to enter the cave to perform this last task. This was not because Saito was retreating or had other intentions. It was indeed a conclusion reached after careful consideration.
I was in the cave at that time. Although I and the two mercenaries both took Fire Dragon Pills, the reaction of the two mercenaries was indeed affected. Otherwise, one of them would not have been hit by the gravel shot from the hall in the cave. .If he was outside the cave at that time, the mercenary who was already on guard would definitely have time to avoid the sudden gravel. Although the opponent was extremely powerful, the hidden weapon thrown out with his bare hands could not match the speed of the bullet.
Takahashi Jiro quickly nodded to Saito. He did have some admiration for this mercenary team leader in his heart.
After he met with these mercenaries, Saito repeatedly asked him about every detail of his last operation. It seemed that the purpose of those seemingly casual inquiries was to understand all aspects of the target's situation and to formulate a thorough plan for this operation. Action plan. No wonder Kuroda sent him to carry out this arduous mission. This man is indeed a rare talent with careful thinking. He is not just an ordinary mercenary with a high technical and tactical level.
Takahashi Jiro pondered in his mind. His eyes were fixed on Saito, carefully analyzing his every order to prevent him from treating himself as cannon fodder, an outsider.
Ever since he met mercenaries like Saito, he has always felt uneasy in his heart. He was afraid that these mercenaries from Yamaguchi Security would regard him as an outsider and worry that they would throw him out to die when the battle was fierce. After all, he was How could an outsider, who could betray his own wife and children at a life-or-death situation, protect an outsider like himself who he had never met before?
Saito raised his eyes and saw Kotakahashi staring at him with a straight eyebrow. His eyes suddenly hesitated for a moment. Then he understood what he was thinking. He stared at Kotakahashi coldly and asked without concealment: "You are It’s not about worrying that we will get rid of you at the critical moment.”
Takahashi Jiro's face turned red. He really didn't expect Saito to be so sensitive. He immediately guessed the worries in his heart. He smiled awkwardly, then pulled out the pistol from his waist and whispered: "I have it in my hand now." The firepower is too weak. I am worried if something happens..."
Saito heard his doubts. A cold light suddenly shot out in his eyes. He replied in a cold tone: "Don't worry. Weapons are not a problem. As long as we enter Lingxiu Mountain, we may encounter the other party's security personnel at any time. With them here Do you still lack weapons..."
Takahashi Jiro was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he understood what Saito meant: As long as you enter Lingxiu Mountain, you may encounter an opponent with a gun at any time. With the concealment skills of people like you, you can definitely approach the opponent quietly and obtain weapons. .
He grinned. In fact, that was not what he was worried about. The answer just now was just a temporary excuse under Saito's questioning.
Saito didn't understand what he was thinking. He looked at the little Takahashi and continued to comfort him: "Although you are not one of our Yamaguchi security guards, we are now comrades who are advancing and retreating together on the line of life and death. The action plan I have formulated now It was the three of us approaching the top of the mountain. The rest were responsible for covering our actions. Once we entered the dense forest, we would have to face several times or dozens of times the number of enemies. In such a situation with such a huge disparity between us and the enemy, how could I possibly take you down? Abandon it. Besides, once you enter the cave and get that treasure, how can we abandon you."
Saito does understand the concerns in the little Takahashi's heart. Now the action is about to begin. He must try to dispel the concerns in the little Takahashi's heart so as not to affect the execution of the plan.
The current situation has changed greatly from the information he obtained before arriving. The original action plan was to deal with some martial arts practitioners armed with bows, arrows and knives. But now there are actually military police with guns appearing here. This made him feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.
In order to carry out this operation, he only brought eleven mercenaries. Including himself and Takahashi, there were only thirteen people. In the brief contact in the afternoon, there were serious combat attrition. Four team members were killed. The opponent was killed in one fell swoop. This really shocked his heart. He felt doubly depressed. It was as if the towering Lingxiu Mountain not far away was pressing down on his heart, making him feel like he couldn't breathe. So I quickly readjusted the action plan I made with the group leader Kuroda before coming here.
But due to the lack of four team members, Saito really felt that he was stretched in personnel deployment. Just a few people had to face several times or dozens of times more opponents. Moreover, they had to climb to the top of the mountain to complete such an arduous task. This made He really felt very troubled.
