Chapter 211, a big scam
In the mountains near autumn, it is very cold at night.

A small soldier sat on the bluestone, staring at the valley not far away, which was a huge mouth of an abyss full of unknowns.

With the current conditions, you have no idea what you will encounter when you go down there.

Will it be discovered by the eight-way sentry?

He is the captain of the 45th Wing and is responsible for the success or failure of the entire operation.

Once the troops go down and get a foothold, they will be discovered by the Eighth Route Army. There is no doubt that they will become the turtle in the urn, and the ground will not work every day, and there is only one dead end.

With pearls and jade from other troops in front, it doesn't matter if hundreds of people are killed or injured.

The key is that if the task is not completed, there is no way to explain it to the above.

Come whatever you are afraid of.

The soldier with the radio on his back took a step forward: "Sir, the brigade commander wants to talk to you."

Da Zuo reached out to take the earphone that was handed over: "General."

"...The situation is like this. Now all the hopes of the division are pinned on you. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

Ushijima said he was asking if he had confidence, but now that he was at the door, could he retreat if he didn't have confidence?

Of course it is impossible.

Da Zuo replied decisively: "I have confidence and promise to complete the task."

Even if you have no confidence, you have to say so.

The conversation with the head of the brigade, apart from nonsense guarantees, was not fruitless.

He now understood that the movement on the distant mountain just now was caused by the Eighth Route Army firing rockets.

Two things can be determined.

Balu is relatively far away, and their existence has not been discovered yet.

Once the whereabouts are exposed, they will definitely be hit by rockets. On this rugged mountain with almost no roads, there is no place to hide.

"Contact me the first brigade and tell them to avoid making noise as much as possible. The eight-way rocket launcher is on the top of the mountain."

The Colonel ordered the Telegraph Soldiers to notify the First Infantry Battalion, which was on mission.

Going into battle and leading the team in person is for the superiors to hear.

Wouldn't there really be any senior commander who ran to the front line to charge?

No, no, no!
Those who do that either really like to charge forward, or their brains are fooled and lame.

The captain of the alliance who manages 800 people is obviously not that kind of role.

On the contrary, the captain of the First Infantry Battalion, the Major, had to go down to the valley because of the special situation and had to go to the front line to command in person.

At this moment, on a steep cliff.

A thick and strong hemp rope is tied to a big tree at one end and hangs down from the top of the cliff.

The soldiers gritted their teeth and carried their guns, grabbed the rope and slid down bit by bit.

The cliff is extremely steep, and there are few places where you can stand and rest. As long as you start to slide down, you must slide until you hit the ground, without any pause in the middle.

The cliff has a drop of hundreds of meters, which is roughly equivalent to thirty or forty floors.

If anyone does not catch up and fall, it is impossible to survive, the key is to see how ugly the death looks.

It's probably like a watermelon fell heavily on the ground, click, and the head exploded, red and white were scattered everywhere.

Broken bones and tendons are inevitable, and all internal organs are shaken and turned yellow.

One mistake would kill them, and the pressure on the soldiers was extremely terrifying, and all the soldiers who were sliding were trembling.

They didn't even dare to look down.

After a long time, the first batch of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers finally landed safely.

When their feet stepped on the ground, their legs were soft, and they sat down on the ground.

"Mom, it's finally down."

Sergeant Cao who led the team breathed a sigh of relief and spoke out what everyone was thinking.

It was the first time they performed such a scary task.

It would be too unfair to fall to death without even seeing the enemy.

Sergeant Cao took a breath, and immediately arranged a task: "Immediately establish a defensive position."

"Several of you, scout the surrounding area carefully, and pay attention to the guard sentinels on the Eighth Route."

Except for the unexpected rope climbing project, these are their usual training subjects.

The soldiers were well-trained to perform their tasks, spreading out into a circular arc to guard the passage for the soldiers coming down from the rear.

Four clever groups of two were sneaking in two different directions for investigation.

Kunio Yongshan is a senior soldier who has just joined the army for two years. He was originally a worker in a machinery factory, responsible for repairing some not-so-good machines.

Although I don't earn much, barely enough to cover my family's expenses, but my life is quite ordinary.

The coming of war broke all this.

The machinery factory was requisitioned and arranged to serve the army.

Not two years later, Kunio Nagayama received a notice of enlistment.

This is nothing surprising, the army is constantly expanding, and there are only so many middle-aged men in the country, and there will always be people who will be conscripted to fight.

After three months of training, Kunio Nagayama was sent on a ship and came to this strange country to fight for the interests of the empire.

What the big man above is thinking, he, a small soldier, has no idea at all.

Some just carry out one task after another according to the orders of the chief.

Today seems to be NO.15, the moon in the sky is very round, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on it makes it possible to see things slightly in the dark valley.

Kunio Nagayama and his partner groped forward cautiously.

It seems that Balu didn't expect them to descend from the [-]-meter-high cliff, and the security and defense in the valley were not strict.

They walked for more than ten minutes without meeting a single one.

"Hey, look there."

The companion poked him once, and pointed to something covered in tarpaulin in the distance.

The tarpaulin is used to keep out the rain, what is the thing underneath, weapons and ammunition, or their targets, the machinery of the Eighth Route Army arsenal.

Kunio Yongshan's heart moved, did God Amaterasu take care of them again?

It's such a good luck.

He didn't dare to act rashly, his eyes swept back and forth, searching for the eight-way sentry.

Weapons and ammunition or arsenal machinery, no matter what kind, should be strictly guarded in theory.

But Kunio Yongshan watched for a long time, but he didn't find any trace of the sentinel.

This is the hell.

He couldn't believe that Balu would be in such an important place without even arranging a sentry post.

It may be that he hasn't found out yet.

He did not act rashly, and discussed with his companion in a low voice. Kunio Nagayama continued to stare and observe, while his companion went back to call for someone.

With the help of the hazy moonlight, he finally saw some clues.

Part of the place not covered by thatch was illuminated by the moonlight, giving off a cold metallic light.

"This is the machinery of the Eighth Route Armory. Is this what the reconnaissance plane took in the sky?"

Kunio Yongshan thought to himself.

Their attack route was not randomly selected. It was based on the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, delineated the location of the mechanical storage, and then made a planning choice.

The purpose is to be able to control the machine at the fastest speed as soon as the troops land on the ground.

Prevent the eight-way dog ​​from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and blast and damage the machine when the failure is known.

If it's just to destroy these machines stored in the open air, they don't have to work so hard, just let the planes bombard them indiscriminately.

Didn't he pay a painful price just to master the machine and turn the enemy's strength into his own?

Didn't have to wait long.

A second lieutenant led dozens of people, like mice looking for food in the dark, quietly groped over.

Under the guidance of Kunio Nagayama, the second lieutenant was very pleasantly surprised when he saw the cold light reflected by the machine. If the environment did not allow it, he would have laughed wildly.

"After staring for so long, didn't you find the eight-way sentinel?"

asked the lieutenant in surprise.

He couldn't help but suspect that the senior soldier in front of him was blind?
Either the secret sentry of the Eight Routes was hidden too deeply to be discovered.

Dozens of people stared wide-eyed, more serious than watching a geisha performance, and searched carpet-like, but found no trace.

This is so strange, did Balu forget to set up sentries?
Or they were too careless and didn't think that there would be enemies touching them.

Think about the difficult journey in the mountains in the past two days, being bitten all over by mosquitoes, and even falling off a cliff and being bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

Ba Lu couldn't have imagined such a difficult detour, right?
Since it was unexpected, it made sense not to arrange sentries in the hinterland.

The ensign was relieved.

However, out of caution, he still asked a few people to touch it to test it out, and found that there was indeed no Eight Ways, so he led the team to lean on it.

The area covered by the thatch is huge, and it looks like there should be a lot of things underneath.

It is estimated that it is easy to fill hundreds of trucks. If these are all the machinery of the arsenal, they will make a lot of money.

"Quickly, take the sheet off and have a look."

The second lieutenant rubbed his hands and gave the order excitedly, he couldn't wait.

More than a dozen soldiers put their guns on their backs, went up and quickly pulled up the tarpaulin and opened it, mechanical machinery... what kind of operation is this?
Everyone was dumbfounded. It turned out that a pile of wood was nailed to the ground to support the tarpaulin.

What about the arsenal machinery that was agreed upon?
The second lieutenant couldn't accept it and ordered the soldiers to remove the sheet in other places.

Then I saw piles of wood, like a tent, supporting a large area of ​​tarpaulin.

This……?
"Sir, we also seized some machinery!"

A chief Cao tried to persuade and comfort him, but all in all, the trip was not in vain.

A voice next to him pierced his fantasy: "No, these machines are not from the arsenal."

Everyone looked over, the second lieutenant frowned: "Sergeant, do you know what you are talking about?"

Kunio Yongshan said without changing his face: "Yes, I was a machine repairer before I joined the army. I know all these machines and they are used for mining.

I don't know where Balu captured them. There are inscriptions engraved in Japanese on the machine, which cannot be fooled. "

The second lieutenant rushed over in three steps and two steps, looked in the direction of his finger, and swears: "Bastard, liar, all eight roads are a group of liars."

These scammers are not even willing to spend money on deceiving people, and the machinery is broken and difficult to repair.

Put it here to play waste recycling!

"Sir, according to the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, there are still three places where such machines are piled up. Maybe some are real and some are fake."

Cao Chang from just now spoke again to comfort him.

Even he himself didn't want to believe that a mission he had worked so hard to carry out was actually a scam.

Now is a gambler.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope of reversing the book, he wants to try.

"Sir, since Eighth Road has set up a false target here, why did they set up real targets in other places?

Kunio Nagayama punctured the fantasy again.

The companions were stunned. This guy has dealt with machines a lot. He is really a straight steel man who dares to say anything.

Cao Chang stared at Kunio Yongshan with undisguised hatred in his eyes.

Those who puncture the emperor's new clothes will naturally arouse the hatred of the "emperor".

The illusion is shattered again, only to meet the reality.

The second lieutenant gritted his teeth and decided to report the situation to his superior first. This is not something that a young second lieutenant can make.
