Section six hundred and eighty-seventh medicine collection
Two o'clock in the morning.
The bright moon hangs high in the air, sprinkling the bright moonlight towards the village. The visibility is very good and you can clearly see it more than ten meters away, which makes Gao Bin let go of his hanging heart.
The Japanese named Shigeshino Okamoto was inside the house. If they were outside the house, they could easily make the target sneak away or miss some important clues.
The secret service department not discovered anything when he targeted the other party, but all newcomers to Harbin settle down must go through these investigation procedures, and even the Japanese are no exception.
It is no secret that there are non-nationals in Japan who oppose the Tokyo government and the celestial locust. For example, Katsuyama, the founder of the Japanese Underground Party, who died two years ago, is one of them.
Therefore, identification is a necessary means.
It is also licensed by the Kwantung Army.
However, this Okamoto Shigei performed normally after he arrived in Harbin. The past experience he explained was verified by the Special High School Class of the Shanghai Consulate and it was basically confirmed that it was not fabricated.
Investigators also took photos of Okamoto's original pharmacy and collected testimony from several neighbors, proving that the other party had been doing business in Wucheng and did not make any sensitive remarks.
If he did not have suspicious behavior when he left the city this time, it would be enough for the secret service department to keep a low attention to him. After all, there are too many Japanese people coming to the Northeast and they cannot pay attention to them one by one.
Besides, it is also a troublesome to really catch the Japanese. Citizens of the upper country cannot be beaten, scolded, and they have to hand over to the Kwantung Army. They cannot make any contributions.
"Stay in two shifts."
Gao Bin thought of this and yawned, whispered to his subordinates and closed his eyes. In this case, Shigeon Okamoto could not escape, so it would be better to hurry up and take a rest.
Because after returning to the city, they had to continue to investigate the destruction and missing cases. Although they had nodded at the moment, they were far from the destruction case and had to keep their energy and wait for the opportunity.
Ten minutes later, the moonlight became darker.
Two of the five spies who followed Gao Bin to Xiao Niujiaogou were sleeping in Heyi. The remaining three were transferred to different locations to monitor the targets, and they did not dare to slacken in the operation.
They were lying motionless in the dark corner where the moonlight could not be shined, holding the flashlight in their hands to issue warning signals at any time, and the pistol was placed within reach.
Even the clothes on his body were wet by the water vapor in the mountains, and his bright eyes were full of firmness and indifference. Such qualities of action can definitely be called elite.
This is not surprising. The personnel of the secret service department have received training from the Kanto State Police Department or intelligence agencies. It is very simple for them to stay alert while squatting.
One of the spies pulled a grass root and put it in his mouth to chew it. The bitter taste made people feel energetic. Then he saw a haystack on the edge of the village that seemed to move.
Instead of calling others immediately, he stared at them widened his eyes and looked again, so as not to affect the mission. Gao Bin is not a good-tempered person, and being angry will kill people.
As a result, after looking at it for a long time, no suspicious signs were found. The person thought about it and felt that it was either because he had read it wrong or because it was a small animal who went down the mountain to find food for winter.
Anyway, it won't be the goal.
The other party didn't know his location or his observation range. The moonlight was so bright that he would definitely be discovered as long as he came out. Shigeon Okamoto could not be invisible.
Besides, there are many animals in the mountains, and it is normal for one or two to enter the village occasionally. Compared to humans, animals are naturally vigilant, and some can even have night vision, so it is not surprising to find him.
At the same time, Zuo Chong lay in a creeping posture in a ditch next to the haystack, raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, which was so lingering that it was almost exposed to the moonlight.
He knew that there must be Japanese and puppet personnel around him monitoring him. When he left the city, the black car followed them until he approached Xiao Niujiaogou Village.
This is quite a bit like this. There are only two or three villages nearby. The population is over 1,000. The roads are all earthy roads, and there are few motor vehicles passing by.
Even if the number of cars in Harbin is not small in the entire Republic of China, how likely is the two cars to appear in such remote areas at the same time? It can be said that it is very small.
Nothing so coincidental,
It can only be that there are spies following them.
However, this side confirms one thing: the Japanese and puppet should not regard him as a suspect. Tracking is just a normal procedure, otherwise such clumsy tracking methods would not be used.
The trouble is that the location of the surveillance personnel cannot be determined. It will be very dangerous for him to leave the village. The only way is to use the shadows formed by the moonlight on the building to transfer them little by little.
Fortunately, when checking the medicinal materials during the day, he was already familiar with the terrain of Xiaoniujiaogou Village. Combining the height and orientation of the moon, it was not too difficult to find an inlet and exit passage.
After resting for a while, Zuo Chong crawled carefully along the gutter, for fear of disturbing the dogs in the village or the surrounding animals, and it would be dangerous if it attracted the attention of the spy.
He climbed out dozens of meters, and when he approached the foot of the mountain, he rolled into the woods, then stopped in place and observed for a few minutes, and then walked upwards after confirming that no one had found it.
Entering the woods does not mean safety.
The woods in the northeast are different from those in the south. Most of them are coniferous forests. The shielding effect is not as good as broad-leaved forests. You must constantly adjust the route while walking and try to hide by relying on the trunk itself.
There are also Japanese soldiers patrolling. Zuo Chong did not know their patrol route, equipment status, and personnel composition, so he could only concentrate on observing the surroundings to avoid hitting them head-on.
After walking for a hundred or two hundred meters, he was squatting to a big tree, then took out the Browning M1911 from the space and looked vigilantly at the path twenty or thirty meters away.
"Dadadada..."
A sound of footsteps gradually approached Zuo Chong's hiding place from far to near. He could even hear the collision of bayonets and kettles. He was so lucky that he encountered the patrol team.
Through the moonlight, he saw 15 Kanto soldiers wearing yellow uniforms in shit-like uniforms through the gaps in the branches. The other party was marching in columns, which was not a standard Japanese army unit.
According to the Japanese Infantry Practice, a squad has 13 people, including the squad leader, 4 machine gun shooters and 8 rifle soldiers. Grenade launchers will be provided in the specially strengthened troops.
The patrol team in front of us is such a reinforcement unit. Everyone in the team carries two special grenades and two grenademen with the rank of sergeant commander.
The sergeant was a low-level non-commissioned officer in the Japanese army. He served for a long time. He was both a soldier and a combat backbone. They were usually responsible for operating complex weapons such as grenade launchers.
Zuo Chong slowly withdrew his gaze and started to sweat on his forehead. If there was a fire exchange, not to mention that he only had a Browning 1911, even a Browning light machine gun would be useless.
The gap between professional and non-professional soldiers is not obvious at some point, but it will be very obvious in such close combat, not to mention the two grenade launchers.
At that time, even if the fragments after the grenade exploded cannot hurt him, the broken tree fragments can kill him. The agent is not Superman, he will also bleed and die.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
At this moment, the front row of the Japanese patrol team, the military dog led by a rifleman stopped, pricked up his ears and whined in a certain direction, which was a warning.
The Kwantung Army is worthy of being the most elite among the Japanese army. After confirming that there is a situation nearby, the patrol team automatically divided into several combat teams to find cover without ordering the commander.
In the long-term battle with anti-Japanese personnel, these people knew very well that standing and waiting for orders was to die. The first thing they had to do when encountering an enemy was to protect themselves, not to fight back.
No one speaks,
Only the rustling sound of the breeze forest remained.
Behind a huge rock, the military dog bared his sharp teeth and was eager to try, struggling the rope to rush out, and the soldiers kept stroking its back to calm it down, which would expose his position.
After a few minutes, the team leader did not notice the enemy. His pair of triangular eyes turned around, then turned around and waved to the military dog and soldiers, signaling to release the military dog.
In complex woods and mountains, the speed and flexibility of the dog can be maximized. Once the enemy is entangled, the only thing waiting for the opponent is death, and there will be no second result.
"Wow~Wow~"
The soldier untied the rope as ordered, and the military dog lost its restraint and ran out quickly. After dozens of seconds, it made a loud cry, and the Japanese squad leader showed a look of pride on his face.
He raised his right hand and made several gestures. All the combat teams tacitly opened the distance, surrounding them from the front and flanks in the direction of sound, without giving potential enemies a chance to ambush.
Japanese soldiers either walked or ran, covering trees, earth slopes and stones, and moved quickly and quietly. You should know that this was just a non-Yezhange unit responsible for patrol.
What happens to those front-line troops who are specifically responsible for combat? It makes people shudder when thinking about it. This is not about developing other people's ambitions. Facing the gap is always better than being arrogant.
In just one minute, several combat teams reached the predetermined attack position. The team leader found that the military dog was spinning around the ground, and he didn't even see a shadow of an enemy.
"What's going on?"
The team leader frowned and was a little confused, and ordered a sergeant to go and see the situation. The other party received the order to leave the cover with a short body, and finally brought back a ball of unknown objects to report.
Strangely, the military dog came back with it. It seemed that it barked not because it found someone, but because it smelled this thing. The patrol team put its vigilance down.
But what is this? No Japanese soldiers knew about it. The only team leader sniffed with his hand, poked it with his hand, then his face changed drastically, and he shouted in horror.
"Bu Le (Tiger)!"
The sound of the tiger was even more terrifying than the enemy's attack. Everyone immediately raised their rifles and aimed in all directions. In the mountains and forests late at night, the tiger was even more terrifying than the anti-Japanese personnel.
During a crusade in the past two years, a small team encountered a tiger. At the same time, when the support staff heard the gunshots, they only saw the remains of the corpse on the ground.
Thinking of this, the team leader looked ashen and ordered his retreat without hesitation, preparing to search the mountains again during the day. He had to catch the hateful tiger, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
