Qi Yue looked at the carriage. It was full of ammunition. The ammunition boxes were stacked like a hill. Most of them were .79 rifle ammunition made in Hanyang, China, and there were also a small amount of armor-piercing bullets and tracer bullets.
On the battlefield, the Japanese army rarely used submachine guns for one reason - bullets were consumed too quickly.
In order to save raw materials, their standard weapon, the Type 38 rifle, uses .65 caliber. This type of small-caliber rifle has the advantage of effectively reducing recoil. When the recoil is small, the amplitude of barrel jitter is reduced accordingly, thereby improving shooting accuracy.
Spend.
The 17th Brigade of the Fourth Puppet Manchukuo Army stationed in Binjiang is the unit equipped with the most weapons of the Chinese army. Most of the weapons and ammunition that the Japanese army cannot use will be handed over to them.
Watanabe is the captain of the Hosokawa Regiment's baggage team. He received the order very early and will soon hand over 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the puppet Manchukuo army under the supervision of the military police.
Generally speaking, this kind of task is a routine handover of surplus military supplies. You only need to follow the military police's dispatch arrangements. Wing Commander Hosokawa rarely interferes, mainly because he doesn't care much. In his eyes, these unused ammunition and waste
There is no difference between copper and iron.
Idaharao found Watanabe and claimed that he had received intelligence that the resistance organization was plotting to destroy this batch of ammunition and that it must be secretly sent to the 17th Brigade Headquarters immediately.
A military police lieutenant said this and held a warrant stamped with Aoki Masahiko's seal. Watanabe did not have any doubts and obeyed the order without compromise. In fact, the warrant was stolen by Ida Harao.
In order to ensure confidentiality, Junichiro Shibuya did not tell Masahiko Aoki the truth, which also resulted in the military police having no precautions against Ida Harao.
…
Qi Yue basically made a rough guess about these situations.
He thought for a long time and then asked: "Does Jiang Bin know about the situation of this truck of ammunition?"
Idaharao said: "Of course. It was through him that I notified the Binjiang Prefectural Committee of the matter, and they will soon send people to transport this batch of ammunition."
Qi Yue thought for a while: "You just said that you got the news about your identity being exposed... Can you disclose the source of the news?"
"Jiang Bin told me."
Idaharao answered truthfully.
Qi Yue was somewhat relieved. After so many days, Bai Xue did not contact Idaharao rashly. It seemed that his warning had worked, but on second thought, something seemed not quite right...
100,000 rounds of ammunition are more than enough to equip a compendium division of the national army. If some heavy weapons are added, it can even equip a decent compilation division.
For example, the 129th Division in the World War II zone had less than 50,000 rifle rounds in the early stages of the Anti-Japanese War. It was still the main force of the 18th Army.
Therefore, the disappearance of 100,000 bullets is definitely a big event!
If Idaharao is declared a traitor, Jiang Bin will definitely be brought into the interrogation room. If one of the grasshoppers is tethered to a line, the other must be caught. Even if Shibuya Junichiro is determined to take the long term, he will be caught.
Fish, we can only let it go.
A week ago, Qi Yue reported to Du Juan about the situation of Jiang Bin and Ida Harao.
Concealing it was impossible. Once the news leaked out, it would inevitably arouse suspicion - knowing that Jiang Bin's identity was exposed, why didn't he report it?
In order not to alert others, Junichiro Shibuya specifically ordered that the tracking and monitoring of Jiang Bin must be carried out under the premise of ensuring that he is not discovered.
With Jiang Bin's ability and the secret cooperation of the military commander, there is a complete chance of escape.
The question is, why doesn't he run?
"In fact, in my opinion, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should truly put aside their past grudges and unite and cooperate in the fight against Hiss!"
Idaharao put the pistol back into its holster.
Watanabe lost too much blood and had just died.
Qi Yue said: "What you said is not something that little people like us can control. Yitian-kun, listen to my advice, life is more important than anything else..."
Idaharao said: "It's good to be alive, but I don't want to hide here and there like a mouse and live without dignity. I would rather die."
“…”
"goodbye."
"……goodbye."
Qi Yue had no choice but to leave alone.
Idaharao found some branches and covered Watanabe's body, then returned to the car and placed the note filled with last words on the passenger seat.
He sat blankly for a while and hummed softly: "The hill where I once chased hares, and the small stream where I once fished. The scene is still unforgettable to this day. It haunts me in my dreams. My hometown, my parents in my hometown."
Are you well? My former friends are all well..."
A homesick ballad that makes me burst into tears.
He put the gun to his head with trembling hands.
He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger hard.
Bang!
…
It's evening now.
The sky gradually darkened.
Qi Yue pulled down his rain hat and walked quickly.
I only met one villager on the road, probably because he wasn't wearing a raincoat. He didn't care to look at other people, he trotted along with his hoe and disappeared into the green gauze tent on the roadside.
Amidst the rumble of thunder.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The jungle is nearly a hundred meters away from the intersection.
Qi Yue's car was parked there.
Qi Yue had been to Dongsijiazi before and knew that there was a virgin forest further ahead. In fact, there was no way. Once discovered, the tracking intention would be too obvious.
So, he parked the car at the last intersection mentioned by Watanabe, then put on his raincoat and followed it on foot. The advantage of doing this is that it is easier to hide his whereabouts. The grass everywhere is as tall as a person. In case of emergency, he can be there at any time.
You can hide anywhere.
Facts have also proven that this is the right thing to do.
Neither Watanabe nor Idaharao found anyone following them.
The place where Qi Yue parked his car happened to be blocked by a green gauze tent. As long as he didn't come here specifically for the car, almost no one would notice it in this weather. Occasionally, pedestrians and vehicles passing by would also rush away.
When he was about to approach, Qi Yue slowed down and touched the pistol at his waist with one hand because he noticed that a series of footprints first came to the front of the car and then extended into the green gauze tent. In this case, it was said that they were passing by.
It is not impossible for the villagers.
In the strong storm, the green gauze tent rustled.
Qi Yue observed for a while, then opened the car door and sat in. Before he could sit firmly, a hard object pressed against the back of his head.
A cold voice shouted: "Don't move!"
Qi Yue's body suddenly froze.
He immediately understood that this man found that no one was in the car. In order not to arouse suspicion, he deliberately walked towards the green gauze tent, then went back to pry open the car door and lay under the car seat. The car had the curtains drawn and the light was not good.
Found someone hiding in the car.
The man behind him, Sun Dalong, sneered: "They say that the people in the Secret Service are like ghosts, but that's not a bad idea. I tried my best to scare you, a dog spy. He's as stupid as a pig.
You dare to shoot someone behind your back or something like that!"
Qi Yue asked: "Who are you?"
"Who? Your enemy!"
Sun Dalong said bitterly.
"Sun Dalong, don't mess around!"
Qi Yue looked at the rearview mirror and said.
Sun Dalong was surprised: "You know me?"
Qi Yue said: "I don't have any enemies. I just recently killed a man named Sun Erlong. Before he died, he mentioned to me that his brother Sun Dalong served as the commander of the guard company in the Anti-Japanese War. Judging from your appearance, your facial features are very similar to his.
, so I guess you are Sun Dalong. In addition, judging from the caliber of the gun in your hand, it should be a Mosin sniper rifle. On that day, you used it to attack the execution ground of the Special Intelligence Division. It’s really hard for you to still keep it.
Hold it."
Sun Dalong nodded: "You really have some skills... Erlong, why did you mention me to you?"
Qi Yue said: "He wanted to live and begged me to spare him, saying that I could persuade you to surrender."
"You dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you now!"
Sun Dalong poked the barrel of the gun hard.
Qi Yue said calmly: "Company Commander Sun, please be sensible. If I talk nonsense, how would I know your existence? The fact is that Sun Erlong is greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to survive, he plans to betray and surrender to the enemy..."
In the pouring rain, two black figures, one behind the other, each riding a bicycle, sloping on the muddy road, slowly coming this way.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the largest truck of the Japanese army was the Type 94 truck produced by Isuzu, driven by 6X6, with a total weight of 4.8 tons, a length of 5.3 meters, and a load of 1.3 tons. It could be converted into a dual-purpose tractor.
As for whether it can hold 100,000 rounds of ammunition, with a towing bucket and overloading, it should be possible...
