Let's talk about Hatoda Kan. He led the main force of the Nanjing Military Police out of Shuiximen and chased forward. At the beginning, he was barely able to locate the Langya team members. After all, it was already dark at this time, and there were many vegetable farmers and vendors outside the city. 6 Continue on the road, preparing to go into the city to sell vegetables or goods. It is impossible for the Langya members to kill people and silence them, so through these vegetable farmers and hawkers, the Japanese Gendarmerie can barely bite the Langya.
However, this situation did not last long.
After chasing for about three or four miles, Langya realized the problem and began to move separately.
Langya changed from a collective action to a solo action, and the target was immediately greatly reduced. The vegetable farmers and vendors along the way basically didn't know the whereabouts of Langya. They reluctantly chased him for another two or three miles, and then completely lost Langya. The whereabouts of Hatoda Hiroshi could only be ordered to stop the pursuit, but Hatouda Hiroshi did not give up.
Hatota Hiroshi, this little devil, still has some abilities.
With his extraordinary intuition, Hatota Kan judged that Langya's destination was most likely right outside Shuixi Gate.
Therefore, Hatota Kan immediately summoned the maintenance presidents of several towns and dozens of villages outside Shuiximen, Shichengmen, Qingliangmen, Caochangmen, and Dinghuaimen outside Shuiximen through the pseudo-reform government, and demanded that The maintenance presidents of these towns and dozens of villages will truthfully report any anomalies in the towns and villages under their control.
However, the maintenance presidents of these market towns and villages failed to provide valuable clues.
Hatota Kan still refused to give up, and expanded the scope, calling together the local ruffians who maintained the rule of the president. This time, Hatota Kan finally got something. Zhujia Village, about ten miles away from Shuixi Gate, A gangster in the village reported that a group of strangers came to the village a few days ago.
However, this ruffian only knew so much, because at that time he was extremely drunk and lying on the roadside at the entrance of the village. He only knew that many strangers passed by, but he did not see clearly what these strangers looked like or what they looked like. I don’t know whose home these strangers went to in the end, but Hatota Hiroshi still felt like he had found a treasure.
As a result, Hatuda Hiroshi immediately led the main force of the gendarmerie to attack Zhujia Village.
But by this time, Xu Rui and the others had already moved from Zhujiacun to Niushan.
From the time he decided to climb over the wall from Shuixi Gate, Xu Rui had already realized that his behavior would definitely bring danger to the fortress households in Zhujia Village, so after getting rid of the Japanese pursuers, he returned in person Zhujiacun and the remaining team members hurriedly evacuated to Niushan, where they had their secret camp.
When Xu Rui arrived with Shi Xiaoqian, Feng Wubian and the remaining team members, Sai Hongfu and the four of them had already arrived at the secret camp in Niushan. When they moved separately outside Shuixi Gate, Xu Rui and the others had already arrived at the secret camp in Niushan. Rui had already made an agreement with Sai Hongfu and the four of them in advance to meet at the secret camp in Niushan.
It wasn't until he entered Niushan that Shi Xiaoqian finally found the opportunity to ask: "Captain Xu, how are things going?"
Feng Wubian also said: "Isn't it a mistake? Otherwise, why didn't you kidnap Jun Nakamura?"
"Well, the operation failed. That old devil Nakamura Shun was more cautious and difficult to deal with than expected. We waited all night and didn't get any good opportunities." Xu Rui made nonsense and did not tell Shi Xiaoqian the truth about last night. The two of them, it wasn't that he couldn't trust Shi Xiaoqian and them, but there was no need to let them know.
"Then what should we do now?" Shi Xiaoqian immediately said with a gloomy face, "Now we have not kidnapped anyone, and we have alerted all the Japs in the city. Next, it will not be easy to get into the Japs headquarters. This Everything was arranged, how did it become like this?"
"Brother Shi, don't worry." Xu Rui inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart, but he continued to talk nonsense, "Although Jun Nakamura was not kidnapped last night, our underground party comrades still got the kid through other channels. The entire battle plan, our ancestors are right, this is called losing something in the east and gaining something in the mulberry tree, hahaha."
Shi Xiaoqian said: "You mean the plan has been obtained? Are you going back next?"
"No way?" Feng Wubian immediately said with great disappointment, "I haven't had much fun when I came out this time. Are you going back now?"
"You two brothers are too worried. You won't go back so soon. You will still have to make trouble next time." Xu Rui chuckled and continued, "Although the Japs' battle plan has been obtained, the Japs are preparing to sweep Damei Mountain. We haven't had time to destroy the war preparation supplies, so we have to destroy the supplies before we can go back."
"That's good." Shi Xiaoqian and Feng Wubian were relieved.
At this time, Xiao Taohong, who was staying outside on guard, suddenly came in and reported that there was a situation in Zhujia Village.
Xu Rui quickly left the secret camp and followed Xiao Taohong straight to the guard post on the top of Niu Mountain. Sai Hongfu also followed Xu Rui to the top of Niu Mountain. The Langya team members had long been immune to this scene. Shi Xiaoqian and Feng Wubian were inevitably a little envious, thinking that Captain Xu was really lucky to be with such a pair of beauties all day long.
Let’s talk about Xu Rui and the three of them. On the way up the mountain, Sai Hongfu said to Xu Rui: “I always feel that this old devil, Shun Nakamura, cannot be trusted, and the information he tells may not be true.”
"Nakamura Shun can't be trusted?" Xu Rui turned around and asked, "Why did you say that?"
Sai Hongfu said: "Regardless of whether the combat plan is true or false, Nakamura Shun said that the gasoline supplied to the 8th tank regiment and each baggage regiment will take three days to arrive in Shanghai, and then be transported to Nanjing via the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. I think this information is very suspicious, and it is most likely false."
Xu Rui said in surprise: "Why did you say that?"
Sai Hongfu said: "The truth is obvious. When little Japan transports fuel from the country to China, it must be through oil tankers. Since the fuel oil must be transported by oil tankers on both sides, why can't it be transported directly to Nanjing in one step instead of going to Shanghai first? Unloading the fuel and then transporting it to Nanjing by rail? Isn’t this unnecessary?”
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "You don't know this, right? After the Japanese occupied the Songhu and Nanjing areas, the trade between the Western powers and China collapsed. Because of this, little Japan was in a stalemate with Britain and France. Now Japan The navy is confronting the British Royal Navy fleet in the Yangtze River. If we transport fuel from the Yangtze River, it will be a lot of fun if we are shot by the British navy."
Sai Hongfu frowned and said: "I have also heard about the Japanese bombardment of the British ships. But if the British ships dare to bombard the Japanese oil tankers on the Yangtze River, I am afraid they would not dare? After all, this is in In the Far East, although the British Royal Navy is powerful, it is not powerful enough to dare to dominate in the Far East, right?"
"Then you underestimate the British." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Don't forget that Britain is still the number one military power in the world today. Although Japan is increasingly looking down on Britain, at least at this stage , they still dare not take it lightly when facing the British, especially when facing the British Royal Navy."
Sai Hongfu must admit that Xu Rui is right. Britain is a superpower after all!
However, Sai Hongfu obviously would not be convinced so easily, and said: "But I always feel that this old devil, Shun Nakamura, is not worthy of trust."
"Honey, you really worry too much about this." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "No matter what intentions this old devil Nakamura Shun has, he has only one way to go now, and that is to cooperate with us obediently!"
Sai Hongfu said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid that Jun Nakamura is playing dirty tricks?"
"Playing tricks? He doesn't dare, and he doesn't have the courage!" Xu Rui said, "If Nakamura Jun really had the courage to risk everything, he would never have agreed to us when he was still at Wang Ji in the morning."
Sai Hongfu said: "Maybe he is just giving in?"
"It depends on the situation. If you take the initiative and give in, it really doesn't mean anything. For example, when I teased Dofeihara before, it was not because I was timid." Xu Rui stopped here and continued. Said, "But giving up in a passive situation is just an excuse for the coward. In Wangji this morning, Jun Nakamura was giving up and giving in, which is enough to show that he is already timid and scared in his heart. As long as he is timid. , if you are afraid, you will no longer be willing to risk everything."
Sai Hongfu nodded, shook his head, and whispered, "I hope what you said is true."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "It's not wishful thinking, what I said is true."
Sai Hongfu said nothing more.
Soon, the three of them reached the top of the mountain. Looking down the mountain through the telescope, they could clearly see Zhujia Village.
Seeing the villagers in Zhujia Village being escorted out of the village by the Japanese military police and gathering at the measuring field at the entrance of the village, Sai Hongfu's heart immediately tightened and he whispered: "The little Japanese's dog nose is really good. Ah, we have been so careful, but we didn’t expect that they would still find traces, and Aunt Wang’s family is in danger!”
"Uncle," Xiao Taohong begged softly, "Save Aunt Wang and her family, please?"
"Don't worry." Xu Rui remained calm and analyzed, "The fact that the little devils are engaging in such a big battle shows that they don't know that Mrs. Wang's house is a fortress, otherwise the devils wouldn't have gathered all the villagers. On the drying ground, Aunt Wang and her family will only be captured and put on the drying ground to be shown to the public."
Sai Hongfu nodded and said, "That seems to be the case."
But Xiao Taohong said: "I'm just afraid that the Japanese will anger the innocent villagers."
Xu Rui's heart sank and he said: "It shouldn't be the case. After all, Nanjing is the seat of the pseudo-reformation government. If the devils kill people outside Nanjing, the impact will be very bad, whether it is to win people's hearts or for superficial reasons." Article, no kid would think of such a trick."
Sai Hongfu sighed and said: "Even if the Japs really go on a killing spree, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. There are open areas around Zhujia Village. The Japs are not only large in numbers, but also have armored tanks." , even if we continue to kill, I'm afraid we won't be able to save the villagers of Zhujia Village, but only a few lives will be lost."
Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong fell silent. (To be continued.)
