Chapter 676: Hiding in the Puppet Army
"Boom boom boom"
The explosion of the grenade triggered the explosion of the tank shell, and the huge explosion shock wave sent the tank turret into the sky.
The armored vehicle and the tank were already very close to each other, and the shell exploded, and the other tank and the armored vehicle were not spared either.
"This is more powerful than we imagined!"
Yao Pengju was stunned, watching the tank's turret soar into the sky, and then hit his feet hard, almost scaring him out of his wits.
"A tank is a confined space. An explosion inside is more powerful than an explosion outside!"
The huge explosion shocked the little devils. The little devils who came to check the situation were stunned on the spot, as if they had forgotten what they were here for.
It was Zhao Zhiguo who woke them all up.
"This way, they escaped from this way!" Zhao Zhiguo directed the little devils in Japanese.
At this time, Zhao Zhiguo seemed to really think that he was a Japanese soldier. He seemed to have witnessed the attackers running out of the gap in the courtyard wall.
The kid, who was shocked by the explosion, then remembered that they were here to catch the attacker.
When they saw Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju wearing the same military uniforms, they did not have the slightest suspicion and immediately chased them towards the gap in the courtyard wall.
In his panic, the little devil even forgot to ask them for tonight's password.
Yao Pengju silently gave Zhao Zhiguo a thumbs up: "Captain, you are so awesome. I will never be able to learn this move in my life."
"Don't be poor and leave quickly. If the little devils can't catch us, they won't stop searching easily!"
A large number of Japs have given up searching civilian houses and have begun to return to their military camps to support them. If they do not leave at this time, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will not be able to leave even if they want to when the Japs deploy troops at the gap.
Kawazuki Zhi also heard a huge explosion from his military camp.
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain! You've been fooled!"
Kawazuki Zhi shouted that he had been deceived and that the other party's attack on their sentry post was a fake and the purpose was to destroy their tanks and armored vehicles.
After returning to the military camp, he heard that armored vehicles and tanks had been bombed. Kawazuki was furious and ordered a search of the entire city. Troops were deployed at various intersections. As long as there were capable personnel, they would be arrested first.
The city was in chaos, and the streets were filled with Japanese troops the next day. No common people dared to go out.
The people of Wangxian County also felt that the county town, which had not had a war for hundreds of years, would probably change due to the arrival of the Japs.
That night, after Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju left the Japanese military camp, they went straight to the puppet military camp.
Cui Rongxing was still praying, hoping that this matter would not involve him, but he did not expect that two mourning stars would come to his door in a matter of seconds.
"Report to the captain, two princes are looking for you!"
When he saw the puppet soldiers, Zhao Zhiguo was not polite at all and slapped the puppet soldiers in the face.
The puppet soldier didn't know what he had done wrong and was slapped, but seeing that the other party was the imperial army, he could only endure the slap.
"Taijun? Do you want us to search the city?"
Cui Rongxing had already heard the explosion coming from the Japanese military camp, but the Japs never sent anyone to notify them, and Cui Rongxing didn't bother to assemble the troops.
Anyway, for the puppet soldiers, no matter whether they do good or bad, they will be scolded by the little devils. Cui Rongxing has become accustomed to it.
But when Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju appeared in front of Cui Rongxing, Cui Rongxing became energetic: "Too... too... Taijun?"
"Commander Cui, why didn't your troops assemble? Can you hear the explosion?"
In front of the puppet soldiers, Zhao Zhiguo naturally could not directly tell Cui Rongxing that I would like to hide here for a while.
Instead, they used their status as Japanese soldiers to scold Cui Rongxing.
Only then did Cui Rongxing react: "Quick...quick...notify our troops to assemble urgently and be on standby at any time!"
Using the excuse of gathering troops, Cui Rongxing drove out everyone around him.
"Captain Cui, please find two puppet army uniforms for the two of us!"
Wearing Japanese military uniforms, they will certainly not be able to leave the city. Now the Japanese army has sent troops to guard the city gate, and anyone leaving the city will be subject to interrogation.
The Japanese military uniforms Zhao Zhiguo and others were wearing were not from Kawazuki Chi's detachment. After dawn, if the little devils paid a little attention, they would be able to identify them.
The best place to disguise their identity at this time is Cui Rongxing's pseudo-legion.
Cui Rongxing quickly found military uniforms for Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju: "I tell you two ancestors, you should leave as soon as possible!"
"Let's go? Where to go? There are little Japs outside. When we go out, we will hit the muzzle of the gun. When we came here, I had already thought about it. There is no place safer than your place. We will leave the city after the storm of the search has passed."
The Japs are being hunted all over the city, so leaving the city at this time is the most unwise choice.
Cui Rongxing was even more anxious when he heard that Zhao Zhiguo wanted to stay with their puppet army. He also had two underage girls hiding in his private residence. If Zhao Zhiguo found out, wouldn't that make him guilty even more?
Fortunately, after Zhao Zhiguo came to him, he didn't ask for anything. He just hid in Cui Rongxing's place and didn't care about anything except eating and drinking.
Shortly after Zhao Zhiguo and the others arrived, the Japs sent people and asked the puppet army to immediately send people to participate in the search.
"Stay here honestly. If anyone asks, just say you are my orderly! Remember, you must not move around. If you are captured by the little devil, I will not save you."
Cui Rongxing told Zhao Zhiguo that he only asked Zhao Zhiguo and the others to hide with him honestly, so that the little devils would not come back to search.
After dawn, there were still Japanese soldiers breaking into people's homes, but every time they searched a yard, they were disappointed. The person who attacked them last night seemed to have fallen from the sky, catching them off guard, and finally evaporated and disappeared without a trace.
Kawazuki Zhi stood in front of the abandoned tank all night, and the flames caused by the explosion also burned all night.
"Zhao Zhiguo... Zhao Zhiguo must have sent someone to do it!"
Although he didn't even see the figure who attacked them, he concluded that it was Zhao Zhiguo who sent people to do it.
"The troops have been searching all night and found no clues. Could they have fled the county?"
A Japanese officer reported to Chuan Yuezhi that they had used almost all the troops available in Wangxian County. Wangxian County was not big to begin with, and they searched for a whole night, but no suspicious persons were found at all.
"Impossible! They can't escape. Before they attacked our camp last night, we blocked all the intersections. How could they escape, unless they have wings and continue to search for me!"
