Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight The Land of Plenty!
Li Ping and Shen Wei continued to move forward along the Jinshan Railway, crossing a dense mountain forest. When they were still twenty-five miles away from Tangshan, suddenly, the terrain ahead changed, and a relatively flat valley appeared between the hills. .
At this time, Li Ping suddenly became vigilant, signaled Shen Wei to stop, raised his right hand, pointed to the 2 o'clock direction, and gave a warning.
Japanese secret sentry!
Bearing 2 o'clock, distance 25 meters.
Shen Wei nodded and understood what he meant. His keen eyes immediately discovered the hidden Japanese sentry hidden in the dense forest. He took out a dagger from his waist and touched it slowly with a slight movement.
The whole person slowly approached the hidden sentry like a silent cheetah. While staring at the Japanese hidden sentry, he scanned the ground with his peripheral vision to see if there were any areas with human traces.
Where there are hidden sentries, there are mines.
This is common sense learned after paying the price of blood.
Sure enough, Shen Wei found a landmine about 15 meters away from the Japanese hidden sentry. He carefully avoided it and moved more and more lightly.
The Japanese soldiers on duty at the sentry post had a comfortable posture and did not strictly follow the secret sentry regulations. They sat on the ground and looked forward, looking at the vast land around them quite comfortably.
"It's such a rich place."
After reading it again, I couldn't help but sigh again.
rich.
This is soldier Fujita's most intuitive impression of the land of China.
To him, the richness and vastness of this land far exceed that of his poor hometown.
Fujita's family doesn't have much arable land, only three acres. The food grown by the family of five in a year of hard work is simply not enough to eat. In order to maintain the family's livelihood, the mother weaves clothes and works every day to take care of her young brother. The father works in the fields, and the younger sister even more. Go to town every day and exchange your body for a small amount of money.
In order to change the current situation at home, Fujita chose to join the army and became a glorious soldier, hoping to fight for a future.
Now, standing in this strange and fertile land, he finally saw the future of his family.
Fertile and flat land like the one in front of us is rare in Japan, but there are so many in China that Fujita can't even imagine, and so much that Fujita has a fanatical and firm ambition in his heart.
Such a rich and vast land should not belong to those sick men. Only a powerful empire deserves to own this land.
This is Fujita's idea, and it is also the idea of thousands of soldiers in the 6th Regiment.
However, according to the commander, your Excellency, it won't be long before they get their wish and use the most direct and effective method to expel those sick men and become the masters of this land.
"My son, when I win the war, I will go back and marry..." Fujita, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the continuous land and mountains, and murmured softly. Suddenly, before he finished speaking, someone suddenly strangled his neck and made him unable to speak. , a sharp and sharp dagger sank into his neck.
"Pfft!"
The sound of metal cutting muscles was heard, and blood gushed out from the wound like a spring. Feeling the severe pain, Fujita wanted to speak, but was unable to struggle. There was a trace of panic in his eyes. After a few seconds, his eyesight went black. lose consciousness.
Shen Wei gently put down the body of the Japanese soldier, with some blood on his face, turned his head and nodded to Li Ping, the leader of the reconnaissance team.
Li Ping immediately stepped forward and came to the sentry post.
"There is a hidden sentry of the Japanese army here, something is obviously wrong. According to common sense, the hidden sentry is often accompanied by the open sentry. The open and dark sentry system often means... an organized army. Commander Li, you see, this is a valley, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. A large-scale force is stationed. If nothing else, this is the Sixth Regiment we are looking for." When Li Ping arrived, Shen Wei gently wiped the blood on his dagger and explained in detail what he had observed.
The light and dark sentry system can only be used by troops of an organic size, and the organization must be at least company level. The corresponding Japanese army is a small team.
The valley in front of us is surrounded by hills on three sides, covered by dense forests, and has high concealment. It is flat in the middle and is close to the Jinshan Railway. As long as there is any disturbance, the troops stationed here can immediately board the train and rush to the destination within three hours. Arrive at Tianjin City.
Taking into account the terrain and the sudden appearance of Japanese secret posts, Shen Wei, a top spy, made his own judgment.
"I agree with your judgment, but we need to get closer to confirm. This situation is very important." After listening to the analysis process, Li Ping nodded and replied immediately.
Get close and confirm that this is the core purpose of this mission and must be completed.
Only by confirming that this unit is the Sixth Regiment can the authenticity of the red secret deciphering data be verified.
When Shen Wei heard this, he immediately nodded: "Then move quickly, we don't know the other party's changing of guard mechanism and time."
After saying this, he quietly moved forward.
Li Ping followed closely behind, holding a flying knife with a poisoned edge in his right hand. At this moment, cold weapons were far more practical and reliable than hot weapons.
The two of them moved forward like cheetahs, seemingly slow, but actually very fast. On the road near the middle of the valley, they once again eliminated a Japanese hidden sentry, and finally arrived at the edge of the dense forest.
Shen Wei raised his right hand and made a fist, signaling Li Ping to stop. With his index and middle fingers pointed forward, Li Ping looked in the direction and saw the military camp more than 200 meters away through the gap in the dense forest.
There are a series of field tents in the military camp, and there are heavy equipment such as 75mm mountain cannons in the distance.
In this area effectively controlled by the Japanese, there is only one army that can be stationed - the Japanese army.
Knowing that the last moment was coming, Li Ping took a deep breath, took out the monocular optical telescope he carried with him, and looked carefully. There were day flags with a red sun on a white background erected throughout the military camp. On top of the largest tent in the middle, there was a rising sun flag and a broken flag flying. Union flag.
Li Ping's attention was not on the Rising Sun Flag and the Rising Sun Flag, but on the dilapidated alliance flag. After careful identification, he finally confirmed that it was the alliance flag of the Sixth Alliance.
The Japanese military regiment flag represents the reputation of the regiment from the day it is awarded and issuance, and will not be repaired or replaced.
A damaged military flag signifies seniority and military exploits. The more tattered the regimental flag, the higher its seniority and status.
Since the establishment of the Sixth Regiment, it has participated in dozens of battles, large and small. The damage to the regiment's flag is particularly serious, with one-third of the flag missing.
"Okay, let's go." Li Ping visually confirmed the organization and identity of the Japanese army. He breathed a sigh of relief and then signaled Shen Wei to retreat.
This Japanese army is the Sixth Regiment, the vanguard of the Greater East Asia War!
After confirming the identity information and the location of the opponent's station, all the previous doubts became clear immediately. No wonder the opponent did not arrive in Tianjin on April 7.
