To the west of Hua County.

Large fields are deserted.

The vicious afternoon sun shines on the bleak earth.

On the north-south highway, two long ruts extend into the distance.

The hot rising airflow on the road blurs and shakes the scenery.

The weather is too hot, and under normal circumstances no one will rush to the sun in the afternoon.

A black dot gradually became clearer and became a human figure. As the distance narrowed, a puppet army figure carrying a rifle gradually appeared in the telescope's field of view.

After looking closely, there was a series of puppet troops following...

The fuzzy team was getting closer and closer, and the observers finally counted clearly, eleven!

A puppet army squad.

As time passed, the road behind the puppet soldiers began to be noisy.

From a distance, you can hear loud shouts and the neighing sounds of mules and horses.

The puppet army's grain transport team finally appeared!

The puppet soldiers seemed to be cursing and asking the villagers who were pushing the grain truck to go faster.

After hearing the correspondent come to report the appearance of the enemy's grain transport team, Ma Liang, who was sleeping in the ditch, quickly got up and raised his telescope.

The marching blanket above my head was hot in the sun.

In the field of vision, the vast grain transport team coming from the south was stretched out to a mile long.

Perhaps the weather was too hot and the puppet army marched at the same speed.

As the grain transport team continued to approach, Ma Liang's heart suddenly became tight.

I once pushed a ox cart with 3,000 kilograms of grain. How heavy is it? I haven't experienced the feeling of pushing a cart at all.

The performance of the gang-pushing merchants on the road was really too easy.

He looked very carefully, and many people were walking with their hands on the food truck.

The wheels of the cart rotate easily, and even a little bumpy.

Even if you only hold a thousand kilograms of grain, the truck should not be bumpy under heavy pressure!

Something was wrong, and those civilians had problems!

Even if you think about it with your toes, you can determine that those civilians are probably pretending to be puppet soldiers.

It is naturally much easier to find out the doubts of the grain transport team based on results.

The villagers who were pushing the cart had no necessary body leaning forward when pushing the cart, and... many people walked neatly!

There was just one problem, and Ma Liang still couldn't figure it out.

Why did the puppet army choose to rush on the hottest afternoon of the day?

"Hurry up the flag language and inform the Second Battalion that the puppet army had a conspiracy..." Ma Liang ordered the correspondent.

The student in charge of the command scratched his head and looked apologetic: "Captain Ma, what you said...I...I only learned the simplest flag language..."

...

In summer, let alone driving a cart, even if you stay under the shade of shade trees, you will sweat all over.

The puppet army pioneer took out a towel and wiped his neck sweat, and asked the puppet squad leader casually: "Brother, you said those cowards from Nanjing, he asked us to rush on the hottest time of the day. In my opinion, it was clearly slandering us!"

The fake squad leader’s military cap is standard, his leggings are arranged in an orderly manner, and even the towels hanging around his waist are neat: "Don’t talk nonsense! We are soldiers, so we should look like soldiers! Everything obeys orders..."

The question was a little dissatisfied: "The person surnamed Wang in Nanjing is called a pseudo-government. Why should we obey their orders..."

"Why? Haha, if you don't obey, you will have to starve to death! How do you choose?"

"It really doesn't work. Let's go back to the mountains and occupy the mountains and become king!"

"Haha, we were in the mountains before, have you never seen the lives of those mountain people? Do you have the attitude to steal them?"

"Let's learn from those bandits to tie up votes and get them..."

"Soldiers should take it as their responsibility to defend their country..."

"Then we are now pursuing Nanjing, but we are actually pursuing the Japanese. This is called being accomplice for the tiger..."

"Shut up!"

"Deputy Squad Leader Zhang, just say less. It's important to hurry up..." Seeing that the squad leader and the deputy quad leader were quarreling, a puppet army behind him immediately persuaded him.

Seeing someone interrupting, Deputy Squad Leader Zhang became even more excited: "This thief is so hot, and those cowards must let everyone rush on the road. It would be not beautiful if they have heatstroke... I think I'd better find a shade to rest until the sun is about to set before leaving..."

"Damn it, where can I find shade everywhere?"

"Look for a ditch and use a rifle to get a marching blanket to rest for a while..." Deputy Squad Leader Zhang looked proud: "How good is it to sleep in the ditch and wait until it's dark and cool before leaving?"

"You know, the boss wants us to do this, just to lead the Eighth Route Army out. We are not really transporting grain."

"This place is endless. Even if the Eighth Route Army ambush, do you think it may come out in broad daylight to seek death?"

"Looking for death? Don't underestimate the Three Guns of the Eighth Route Army. Last time we went to communicate with the Eighth Route Army, we went to a group that didn't even have a number...

"I know, you are talking about the independent regiment in the Eighth Route Army guarding the mountainous area of ​​Meixian County. Tsk, that shooting technique, a 100-meter range, will definitely not hit your black eyeball..."

"Damn it, are you bragging like this? When that shot, you will be blasted even if you have black eyes or white eyes..."

"What are you anxious about? I'll just give this example..."

"Legends are always legends, and none of us have seen them before..."

Deputy Squad Leader Zhang looked mysterious: "I've seen it!"

"real?"

"Of course it's true!"

"I remembered it, you seemed to have sent them ammunition..."

"As a result, the Eighth Route Army has some friendship with us, right?"

"I do have friendship. What about our national army that used to fight against Japan now? The Eighth Route Army called us a puppet army..."

"It is the loyal and brave army to save the country!" The puppet army immediately corrected it.

"I said, why don't we send a few brothers without guns, find a way to find the Eighth Route Army and discuss with them?"

"Do you have any problems with your brain? We are officers and soldiers, and the Eighth Route Army is bandit..."

"Tsk, I really feel like I'm 25."

"Hehe, even if we discuss, the Eighth Route Army should come to see us, don't you?"

"If I could find a way to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing us, wouldn't it be me, he and everyone?"

"Then you think about it quickly..."

Deputy Squad Leader Zhang changed the topic: "I heard that Hu Zongnan mobilized heavy troops and was preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army in northern Shaanxi..."

The fake squad leader's face changed: "I said, why is your tongue so long? Why would I help you to dial it out..."

"It's such a hot day, can't you even say something?"

"You also know that the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out soon. Then you should know that in order to relieve the pressure from northern Shaanxi, they are like mad dogs who are caught and bitten in the occupied areas..."

"Brother, to be honest, I think the Eighth Route Army is actually quite pitiful..."

Deputy Squad Leader Zhang curled his lips: "Fifty steps and one hundred steps, and since we were wearing this skin, we are even more pitiful than the Eighth Route Army..."

...

On the east side of the highway, Gao Yidao kicked his fast leg while holding up the telescope and watching: "Do you think about it, how much is it worth if all the guns on the puppet soldiers on the road are captured..."

He didn't care at all when he got kicked, so he turned around and asked, "Money? Hey, what do we want money?"

Gao Yidao lay in the shadow of the ditch and stared: "Come on now!"

"There are more than a hundred puppet soldiers in military uniforms, and there are about two hundred puppet soldiers disguised as civilians. It is estimated that there are 300 guns... A gun is calculated as 120 yuan acres, plus bullets and those mule and horse trucks, which should be sold for 50,000 yuan!"

"Is the equipment of a battalion worth so much?" Gao Yidao nagged, his face remained unchanged.

"You talk every day, you have to ask questions knowingly..."

Gao Yidao held up the telescope and shook his head while looking: "It's a pity that not many of the puppet soldiers hung shell guns..."

"Battery Commander, are you planning to get equipment for our newly established spy company?"

The telescope stared at the back of the telescope: "If he has it in the Ninth Camp, our second camp must have it! If he does not have it in the Ninth Camp, we must also have it..."
Chapter completed!
