After cutting down the tree, Yoshida led his troops to search everywhere again. The newly assigned second lieutenant Doi, who had a short temper, was already impatient and grumbled some complaints, which Yoshida heard.
"Hey, Doihara, the Chinese say that when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Have you heard of it?" Yoshida asked Doihara, who didn't read much and didn't know much about Chinese culture, using an old Chinese proverb.
"Ah? The forest is big? Birds?" Doihara had no idea that Yoshida was scolding him.
"Look, you are the black bird." Yoshida pointed to a crow on the branch.
"Crow? I'm a crow?" Doihara was even more confused.
"Yes, you are the crow. What you have to do now is to shut the crow's mouth." Yoshida's eyes showed murderous intent.
Doihara probably understood something. Looking at the major's eyes, he immediately bowed and replied: "Hi." A soldier with a small book is so good at obeying and willing to obey.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was still hot. After Doihara shut up, Yoshida asked the team to stop and rest where they were. He sat under a banyan tree and meditated quietly. His hypocrisy was vivid on the page.
Suddenly, Yoshida opened his eyes, and the sound attracted Yoshida's eardrums.
"Major, there is a sound, click - click -" Doihara whispered softly, and said to Major Yoshida in an ups and downs.
"Shh-" Yoshida raised his finger, signaling Doihara to be quiet, quiet.
A very subtle sound will be heard every once in a while, it is indeed a "click-crack" sound.
Yoshida suddenly came to his senses and said to Doihara: "Chop the bamboo."
"Chopping bamboo?" Doihara looked confused.
"The sound of cutting bamboo, and then the sound of bamboo falling to the ground and hitting other bamboos, is over there." Yoshida pointed to the southwest.
"It seems so."
"Doihara-kun, the army is now divided into two teams. You lead one team and go straight over there. If you find a large bamboo forest, you can find the Chinese reconnaissance team." Yoshida did the same trick again and asked his men to explore the road first and act as scapegoats.
"Hi." Doihara was very excited. The headless fly had been wandering in the vast forest for several days and finally smelled it.
Doihara immediately counted a dozen soldiers, and personally led the team at the front, fearing that the sound would disappear, so he ran towards the southwest.
Yoshida saw that Doihara had already set off for a while, and then he led the remaining soldiers and slowly advanced due south, showing Yoshida Shoichi's old fox-like and suspicious nature.
It is said that after Yuesong, who had been busy for almost a day, checked all the traps, bamboo nails, bamboo arrows and bamboo rafts, he saw the place where the two Japanese were easily fooled and stepped on the trap, so he asked Xizi and the others to chop down a few more.
A piece of bamboo came over, and when Kiko and her brothers were cutting the bamboo, the sound of the bamboo being chopped and slowly falling was heard by the old man Shoichi Yoshida who was meditating. Yuesong did not expect that Yoshida Shoichi would be killed so quickly.
Although most of the traps have been laid out, the secret posts are in place, and the triggering mechanism and staffing of the defense camp have been drilled, as long as a mechanism is triggered, the brothers will automatically rush to their defense posts.
, it can be said that everything was basically arranged properly. Yuesong just wanted to add icing on the cake, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a failure and superfluous.
After Doihara led the team to the bamboo forest, he walked carefully for a while in the bamboo forest and heard the sound of digging. After Doihara asked the team to hide, he took a telescope and looked around to see that Chinese soldiers were digging holes.
Next to the pit were firearms and some chopped bamboo nails. Bamboo nails were something that Tuzhihara knew about. When I was studying in the military academy, the instructor explained that Chinese hunters like to use bamboo nail traps to hunt, and they can also be used to deal with enemies.
"Yoshi, the messenger, report to Major Yoshida that the Chinese reconnaissance team is setting up a trap in the bamboo forest."
