Chapter 125 Gongxian Becomes a Military City
Bai Luo traveled eastward along the main road, encountering three checkpoints set up by the Japanese and countless patrol teams, but he did not take action to eliminate these Japanese soldiers.
They all used monitoring radar to bypass the Japanese soldiers and checkpoints in advance.
He was afraid that by taking action to kill these Japanese soldiers, the Japanese commander would discover Bai Luo's intentions.
Bai Luo, hiding and following the tire tracks left by the Japanese soldiers, arrived at a heavily guarded county town at 6:50 pm that day.
Bai Luo, hiding in a pit on a hillside, covered with a camouflage net, observed the Japanese defenses at the city gate through binoculars. The Japanese defenses were extremely tight.
The Japanese soldiers cleared out all the trees within a kilometer of the city gate.
Judging from the marks on the tree roots, it must have happened a few days ago.
The earthen slope where Bai Luo was lying was also not spared, otherwise Bai Luo would not have bothered to exchange for a disguise net.
The Japanese soldiers set up three heavy machine gun positions at the city gate.
There were trenches dug on both sides of the city gate, where about a Japanese squad of soldiers were stationed.
There were also quite a few Japanese soldiers at the city gate. Due to the angle of view, Bai Luo could not see the Japanese weapons, but according to the monitoring radar, there were at least a company of Japanese soldiers on and behind the city wall.
Bai Luo put down his binoculars and stared intently at the city in front of him.
He thought to himself, "Gongxian is so heavily guarded, the Japanese must be at their ghost fire depot here, but it's not easy to get in."
We need to find a way into the city first; in the current situation, even scaling the city walls is impossible. How can we sneak into the city?
Bai Luo lay in the ditch, racking his brains, when suddenly he noticed truck tracks on the dirt road.
Bai Luo suddenly had a brilliant idea.
9 pm.
Bai Luo looked at the main road he had come from, and finally saw the lights of the Japanese trucks come on.
He immediately perked up and quickly ran to the pile of dry grass by the roadside at the bottom of the earthen slope and lay down.
He also hoped that the truck that came was there to pick up Japanese weapons, so that he wouldn't have to look for them himself after entering the city.
As the Japanese truck convoy drew ever closer, Bai Luo tensed up.
The first one, the second one... ... After the last Japanese truck drove past Bai Luo.
Bai Luo braced himself with both hands on the ground, then suddenly pushed off with his right foot, and strode into the back of the Japanese truck.
Bai Luo looked up and glanced into the carriage. Seeing that there was nothing there, he immediately gave up on entering the back carriage.
Then it rolled over and crawled under the car.
Then, he reached out with both hands to grab the crossbeams under the truck, used his arms to push his body close to the chassis, and at the same time, he pushed off with his feet against the side beams.
With his strong physique, Bai Luo secured himself firmly to the truck chassis.
Five minutes later, Bai Luo arrived at the gate of Gongxian County with the Japanese transport convoy.
Just as Bai Luo had guessed, the Japanese transport convoy was not allowed to pass through immediately after arriving at the city gate.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate of Gongxian were inspecting the truck beds one by one.
After Bai Luo saw the movements of the Japanese soldiers at the city gate through the monitoring radar, he couldn't help but press his body closer to the chassis of the vehicle.
At the same time, he freed one hand to draw his Glock G26 pistol, ready to be used in case the Japanese soldiers searching the carriages looked down and checked the underside of the train.
Fortunately, the Japanese soldiers responsible for checking the carriage where Bai Luo was hiding did not inspect the truck's undercarriage.
"Ono-kun, we've already made three trips today, are you still not reassured?"
Bai Luo, who was hiding under the truck, suddenly heard the truck driver say to the Japanese soldier who was inspecting the truck bed.
"There's no other way, Mr. Jingxia. You know that Gongxian is our largest and closest armory to the battlefield. We can't afford to lose even the slightest thing..."
"Alright, Ono-kun, you're really old-fashioned. I won't argue with you."
The Japanese driver, somewhat disinterested, interrupted Ono Jiro's words.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again.
"When will Ono-kun be rotating to a new post? I got a bottle of local sake, let's try it together after your shift."
Ono Jiro's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"I have one more hour. Please wait for me, Mr. Jingxia." As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
Jiro Ono hadn't tasted local sake in a long time, and he, who always enjoyed a drink or two, immediately perked up when he heard what Mitsuhiro Inoshita said.
When Inoshita Mitsu saw Ono Jiro's eager expression towards the sake, he laughed twice and gave Ono Jiro an approving gesture.
After receiving assurances, Ono Jiro began to inquire about the battlefield situation from Inoshita Mimiya.
What's the situation on the front lines today?
"It's not so good. The south is alright, you know the terrain of Yang City. This morning, a large team came directly from the north... We'll talk tonight."
Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, Inoshita Mimiao saw the convoy ahead starting its trucks and heading into the city, and quickly stopped talking.
This annoyed Bai Luo, who was sitting under the car. These two Japanese soldiers had been talking nonsense for so long, and they had just gotten to the point when they were about to enter the city.
However, Bai Luo also gleaned two pieces of information from this: one was that the Japanese transport team was unlikely to leave the city tonight.
The second piece of news confirmed Bai Luo's guess: there really was a Japanese arsenal in Gong County.
Bai Luo, who had infiltrated the city, did not immediately disembark from the truck after entering the city.
Instead, it was hung under the truck until the Japanese transport team stopped and turned off the engine in a small square.
Bai Luo waited under the truck for a while longer. After all the Japanese transport soldiers had left the truck, Bai Luo slowly climbed out from under the truck.
Looking around, Bai Luo was somewhat surprised to find that there were probably more than 200 trucks parked in the small square.
He hadn't expected the Japanese to have so many trucks in Gongxian.
And that's probably not all of them.
Bai Luo wasn't in a hurry to find the Japanese armory after seeing this.
The armory was easy for Bai Luo to find; the place with the heaviest defenses by the Japanese soldiers was probably their armory.
Bai Luo took out a sack from his spatial storage, which was filled with remote-controlled bombs.
Then they quickly moved through the pile of more than 200 trucks and attached a remote-controlled bomb to the inside of the fuel tank of each truck.
After working for more than 20 minutes, Bai Luo finally arranged for every single one of them to be served.
Looking at his work, Bai Luo nodded in satisfaction, then quickly slipped out of the small square.
Bai Luo, who had just evaded a Japanese patrol squad, was secretly astonished by the Japanese defenses of this county town.
After wandering around for half a day, Bai Luo discovered that the people in this county town must have been driven out of the town by the Japanese soldiers, and he hadn't seen a single person yet.
In Bai Luo's eyes, this place is now a military city.
There were bunkers at all four corners of the county town, equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns.
Clearly, to guard against bombers from the Blue Party, many of the houses below were breached.
There are quite a few Japanese soldiers in this city. There are nearly 2000 Japanese soldiers within the range of Bai Luo's monitoring radar alone. Moreover, he overheard a Japanese major saying that a Japanese Class A division would arrive tomorrow.
After Bai Luo learned that there were no civilians in this county, he became somewhat unscrupulous.
They would plant a few remote-controlled bombs wherever they saw a spot that looked appealing.
If you see a spot that doesn't look right, bury a few more.
The only downside is that it takes too long.
It's already 2:30 AM.
Bai Luo hasn't even explored one-third of the county town yet.
Bai Luo glanced at his watch and decided to find the Japanese armory first, as that was his main target.
