Anti-Japanese Special Forces Through Time and Space

Chapter [-] Fort Reconnaissance ([-])

Zhang Xiangchun took off his dog fur and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, bring us a plate of peanuts, a plate of sauced beef, and a pot of good wine!" Hearing Zhang Xiangchun's words, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Two guests Please wait a moment! The food and drink will be here soon!"

After a while, the shopkeeper put the food and wine in front of Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai and put them away, and said: "You two, please take your time!" When the shopkeeper was about to leave, Xiao Jianhai suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, we are running around town Why didn't I see the mountain goods store here?!"

Hearing Xiao Jianhai's words, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "The two guests must be from other places?! The mountains near our Hutou Town have been banned for more than ten years! A few years ago, some people went into the mountains to poach. Those who went into the mountain either disappeared mysteriously, or were all arrested as spies, hunters can’t go up the mountain, naturally there will be no mountain goods dealers in the city.”

"Why do you have to be arrested for going up the mountain? The Japanese are so unreasonable! After all, this is still a place for the Chinese!" Zhang Xiangchun said pretending to be angry.Hearing Zhang Xiangchun's words, the shopkeeper at the side immediately stopped Zhang Xiangchun from complaining and said, "Hush, keep your voice down. Those Japanese are murderers without batting an eye! You don't need to provoke them!"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xiao Jianhai also cooperated and said: "Brother, don't say a few words! Don't make things difficult for the shopkeeper!" Xiao Jianhai looked at the shopkeeper and said: "The shopkeeper, then our future mountain goods can be sold here. Do you want to make a move?!"

Hearing Xiao Jianhai's words, the shopkeeper smiled wryly and said, "Oh, I heard that there is some kind of project going on on the mountain. A few years ago, there was an announcement that the entire mountain area around Hutou Town was designated as a military restricted area. In the beginning, there were some hunters who went up to the mountain to hunt secretly, but they were all caught and paraded through the streets with their heads tied up. After that, no one dared to go up the mountain. However, the Japanese wanted to eat game, so they were allowed to eat wild game from other places. People trafficked prey here! If you have any good mountain products in the future, you might as well send them to me!"

"Then thank you, shopkeeper!" Xiao Jianhai took out a piece of ginseng that was hidden on his body beforehand and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand quietly, saying: "This is a trivial matter, and the people in the mountains don't have anything valuable to sell!"

The shopkeeper glanced at the things that Xiao Jianhai stuffed into his hands, and said with a smile: "From now on, why are you so polite!" After speaking, the shopkeeper took the things and turned to leave.

After a while, the shopkeeper looked to see if there was no business, smiled, took a cup and a jug of wine, walked up to Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai, sat down and said, "I don't think you are ordinary sellers of mountain goods!" said the shopkeeper He dipped his fingers into the cup and wrote the word "National Army" and then smiled and looked at Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Zhang Xiangchun looked at the words on the table and said with a smile, "Did you see this from the front of the shopkeeper?!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "My distant nephew is now a platoon leader under the command of the young marshal. Last time I went to visit him in Fengtian (Shenyang), he told me about the little boy who played outside the customs a few years ago. General Zhang Lieyang, the devil's soul is gone..."

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Zhang Xiangchun asked seriously: "Okay, let's not talk about this! I want to ask you whether you know the devils are working in the mountains?!"

The shopkeeper looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he took two puffs of dry cigarettes and waited for a while and said softly to Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai: "In these years, the stuffy tanker trucks have come a few times every year to bring some strong young people. People drove them to the town, blindfolded them with a black cloth, loaded them on a big truck, and took them away. I heard that these were laborers who repaired some kind of project. There must have been more than [-] people in these years. Anyway. I only saw it being pulled out, but never seen it being pulled back." The shopkeeper sighed deeply and said, "What a crime!"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Zhang Xiangchun saw the puppet army commander he had just met at the gate of the city.So he smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Third Uncle, the mountain goods that my mother asked our two brothers to bring to you are filial to the Majesty on the way! Don't blame us two brothers!"

Hearing Zhang Xiangchun's words, the experienced shopkeeper followed Zhang Xiangchun's eyes and immediately said clearly: "To honor the emperor is to honor your uncle and me! You two brothers, don't run around here! Those hillsides outside the town and Do not go to the hills, where many people were caught, beheaded or 'anchored' (referring to people's hands tied behind their backs, a big stone tied on their backs, and then thrown into the Ussuri River)!"

"Understood! Uncle, my brother and I are going around the town to buy some salt, sugar and pastries for my mother!" Zhang Xiangchun said with a smile.

At this time, the puppet army commander had already walked in front of Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Cao, I didn't expect these two to be your nephews?!"

"Yes! Captain Hu, what brought you here today?!" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Of course it was your chicken stewed with mushrooms and pork stewed vermicelli and your top-notch Lao Baigan who attracted me here!" The puppet army commander said with a smile.

Seeing the shopkeeper and the puppet army commander talking, Xiao Jianhai said with a smile: "Third Uncle, my mother asked me to bring you something, should I give it to you now?!" Hearing Xiao Jianhai's words, the shopkeeper smiled Asked: "What is it?! Let's talk about it tonight! You two brothers, let's go to the town for a stroll!"

"Hey! Third Uncle, then my brother and I will leave first!" After speaking, Zhang Xiangchun turned around and left with Xiao Jianhai.About an hour later, Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai returned to the restaurant after wandering around the town.When the shopkeeper saw Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai who came back suddenly and was about to say something, Zhang Xiangchun smiled and said, "Third Uncle, my brother and I rushed back overnight! There are only two old people at home, we don't worry!" Zhang Xiangchun said After taking some money and quietly putting it in front of the shopkeeper, he smiled and said, "Third Uncle, let's go!" Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai left the restaurant after speaking.

The puppet army commander who had been waiting not far from the tavern went home in peace after seeing Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai leave the tavern!After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Xiangchun and Xiao Jianhai went to the woods outside the city to wait for other people.

It was evening in a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiangchun looked at the people who had already arrived and said: "Let's go back and prepare now, and we will use the night to reconnaissance the surrounding mountains tomorrow!" Hearing Zhang Xiangchun's words, Xiao Jianhai thought for a while and said: "Xiangchun, I suspect that the little devil has mobile secret whistles around, should we first find out that he is in action?!"

Hearing Xiao Jianhai's words, Zhang Xiangchun thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back!" After speaking, Zhang Xiangchun turned and left.
