under fire

Chapter 130 Step on a few boats

The dim light emitted by the electric light bulb in front of him turned into an unreal world. Maeda's voice was a little far away, and it felt a little inaudible.

Li Youcai had experienced the feeling of powerlessness before, but now he felt like he was liberated. In the midst of the turbulent waves, even his body was no longer his own, and he shivered a little.

Is the eight roads finished? For me, it seems that there is no loss. Is I still a loser?

"Li Sang, is your drinking capacity so bad?" Maeda was in a great mood, looking suspiciously at Li Youcai's absent-minded look.

Li Youcai was startled, collected himself, and hurried forward.

Maeda squinted his triangular eyes, squinting at Li Youcai who was attentive in the office.

Li Youcai filled the empty glass in front of Maeda with wine, and poured himself a glass too: "Shall I get some wine and food?"

"No, no, just drink!" Maeda was very excited.

Tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing Maeda's call to come in, a devil pushed open the door, came in with a folder and a big horse sword, and looked at Li Youcai with a cold look, with disdain.

The devil turned excited and hesitated, "Captain, this is the news just arrived! Another breakthrough!"

Maeda waved to Li Youcai: "Li Sang, yours goes out first, wait."

Not long after, the devil who went in opened the door and came out. He glanced at Li Youcai who was standing in the distance, and Li Youcai quickly bowed.

"Li Sang, yours, come in!" In the open office, Maeda's Chinese words came, and the reason for drinking was that his speech was a bit awkward.

Maeda raised the cup in his hand: "You know it's a critical moment, why do I still drink."

In Li Youcai's experience, Maeda seldom drank alcohol, and such a gaffe was even rarer.

Li Youcai stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Maeda Taijun, you seem very happy?"

Maeda looked at Li Youcai, stretched out his hand, popped out his index finger and shook it: "Not only happy, Li Sang, you are a friend of the empire, and you will surely know the good news."

While Maeda was talking, although he had drunk, his mind was not in a daze.

"What good news?"

Maeda lost his composure and said proudly: "On the 22nd, that is, yesterday, the northern Mashiko advance team attacked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and was discovered by the Eighth Route militiamen near Matian, which alarmed the Eighth Route Army and caused the Eighth Route Army headquarters to be transferred. In the encirclement, although the number of Mashiko's advance team was only a hundred people, behind him was the No. 30 Sixth Division of the Imperial Army, the first, third, fourth, and eighth mixed brigades, a total of more than [-] brigades with more than [-] people People, reinforcements are available at any time, and none of the eight roads will run away this time."

Li Youcai trembled in his heart, and pretended to be nervous on the surface: "Uh, this is good news. I don't know what you said."

Maeda Zhi was full of pride: "It's not normal if you know this news, yo, the text message at noon said that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has been compressed in the area around Shiziling. According to the intelligence, the Eighth Route Group's resistance is very fierce."

"Uh, didn't those eight groups run away?" Li Youcai's first reaction was to run.

Maeda didn't care about leaking information: "Escape? It also depends on where you can run. The imperial army has adopted a steady advance and controlled every mountain road to ensure that the eight roads in the mountain are hard to fly.

According to the captured Eighth Route Army and some seized documents, the Eighth Route Army was staunch and no one surrendered. However, from the captured documents, it is known that not only the personnel of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but also the Eighth Route Army’s logistics department and the Ministry of Health were surrounded. , the Ministry of Military Industry, the Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China, the Party School of the Northern Bureau, the North China Branch of the Xinhua News Agency, the editorial department of the North China Edition of the Xinhua Daily, and various institutions of the Lu He Art School at the Eighth Road Headquarters. According to preliminary estimates, the Eighth Road has about [-] people. , do you think this is good news? "

"Captain, don't worry, I don't have any skills. I just want to find a way to survive. It's just that I don't quite understand what you mean by the Eight Routes and the Bureau." .

Maeda originally wanted to find someone to show off his military prestige, but in the face of Li Youcai's rare straight-to-the-point sincerity, he punched cotton in the end, which did not frighten the traitor, and felt that he had no interest.

Maeda was surprised by Li Youcai's reaction at first, and then remembered that the traitors in front of the eighth roads certainly didn't know about it, and it would be pointless to talk to him too much. Then he sat calmly on the chair, stopped talking, and picked up the paper from the table again. The glass continued to pour into his mouth.

After he said a word, but couldn't get Maeda's statement, Li Youcai didn't dare to say anything more, so he stood quietly in the middle of the room and waited for Maeda's order.

After a while, Maeda seemed to be thinking about something, coughed and said, "You are a cunning person, you know what you should know and what you should not know. I like a smart person like you, but if you want to live a comfortable life, You shouldn't step on a few boats, you go."

Li Youcai nodded hastily: "Yes! Yes! I will definitely listen to you, Taijun."

"get out".Maeda's triangular eyes slowly moved away from Li Youcai, raised his hand again, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it down with his neck raised.

Li Youcai stepped back obediently, turned around and went out in desperation, greeted the military police in front of the door, closed the door, and slowly moved his trembling legs.

Li Youcai is just a young man who likes to gamble. He had no choice but to join the plainclothes team. As a result, he was paid for nothing and worked as a gun, but he kept getting promoted. In fact, the traitor just wanted to live a good life.

But once he got on this path, there was no turning back. What Maeda said just now stimulated him. Does Maeda know everything?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, Lin Xiu came from the National Army, Maeda knew about it, but he didn't do anything, and even acquiesced that he was with Lin Xiu, so he became a marionette in Maeda's hands?
But tonight, he was scared. The Eight Routes were surrounded and would be wiped out. It didn't seem to have any interest in him. Except for the rotten cloves of Jiulian, he didn't know any of them. Maeda said he was on a few boats. What means?Called him in the middle of the night, and he hung up in the middle of the conversation, what does Maeda mean by this?Is it impossible to specifically remind myself not to step on a few boats?
Maeda knew about Lin Xiu, so he must not be talking about it. Could it be that Maeda also knew about Lin Xiu's contact with Balu?

After trying again and again, he had a hunch that every time he came to a dead end, there would always be noble people to help him, because there were devils behind him on the surface, Li Youde in the dark, and the Eighth Route Army. Why did you follow them? It was considered a small friendship.

Li Youcai didn't want to know where Lin Xiu was in Mei County. He knew that the less he knew, the longer he lived.

It seems that only Su Qing knows that he has contact with Eight Road except Jiulian. No, there is someone protecting him in the gambling house.

Maeda's sheep-head plan has long since disappeared. Could it be that there is Maeda's eyeliner in the independent regiment? Only in this way can Maeda know about it. However, his connection with Jiulian is very hidden and should not be known , but who is that person?
If there is such a person, this person must be in the middle of the Eighth Route, and the Nineth Company is impossible, otherwise, I would have been shot eight hundred times by Maeda.

Maeda said that the Eight Routes were about to be wiped out. Judging by his excitement, he didn't seem to be lying, but the independent regiment was obviously still there, and there was no news from the wine station. So, what happened to the Eight Routes?

I was a little worried, and felt that I should go to Qingshan Village tomorrow.
