Chapter 115 Killing them would alert the enemy
Zhang Dahu and the other two soon reached the path at the foot of the mountain.
"Jiang Wukui! I'm very angry about your behavior! How many times have I told you to put the overall situation first! Why are you acting like a chivalrous knight in the martial arts world?" Zhang Dahu knew that there was not much danger and could not help but say something to Jiang Wukui.
"Da Hu, I couldn't help it. I'm sorry, I was too impulsive." Jiang Wukui said.
"Wu Kui, I actually wanted to kill that couple, too. What they said was too shameless!" Li Jianwei touched Jiang Wu Kui, "But I thought about our mission and held back. When they walked under my crotch, I restrained myself."
"You must restrain yourself when you need to! Forget it, no more talking! Stay alert!" Zhang Dahu said as he took a few quick steps. Li Jianwei and Jiang Wukui quickly formed a triangle formation for searching and moved quickly forward.
The three of them soon arrived at the foot of Hutou Mountain. Zhang Dahu took out the map, pointed to the mark on the map that had been marked last night, took out the compass and began to test the direction. He looked up at the direction that had been determined, put away the map, and walked quickly towards the location of the big cave.
Zhang Dahu stopped three miles away from the cave.
"Li Jianwei, climb up the tree and observe the movements around you!" said Zhang Dahu.
"Yes." Li Jianwei quickly climbed up the big tree, took out the telescope, and observed carefully.
Li Jianwei discovered a large cave with an entrance about three meters wide and four sentries in front. He took the cave as the center and observed the situation around it. After watching for a while, he found that there were mobile sentries moving on a small road to the north about a mile away from the cave.
Li Jianwei continued to observe. There were also mobile sentries patrolling in the south. He wondered what secrets were in the cave.
Li Jianwei continued to observe for a while, then got down from the tree and explained what he had observed to Zhang Dahu and Jiang Wukui while looking at the map.
"Based on the analysis of the observed situation, this cave may really be related to Operation Mantis. However, we don't know what Operation Mantis is. This requires us to continue our reconnaissance and preferably get the plan and program of Operation Mantis," Zhang Dahu said softly.
"They named this operation 'Operation Praying Mantis'. Is it related to the word 'praying mantis'?" Jiang Wukui asked softly, then looked around and remained alert.
"I don't know about that. Let's go towards this path, conduct close reconnaissance and learn more about the situation. Please note that we should try not to be discovered by the mobile sentries and alert the enemy." Zhang Dahu said.
"I understand. Let's go!" Li Jianwei stood up and said.
"Li Jianwei, you lead the way in front, Jiang Wukui and I will be responsible for the left, right and back guard. We should still march according to the formation just now. Be alert with your ears and don't alarm the sentries so as to save their lives." Zhang Dahu said.
"I understand. Let them live a few more days." said Li Jianwei.
"Okay, no more noise." Zhang Dahu said and made a gesture, and Li Jianwei walked in front.
After the three of them walked for a while, Li Jianwei gestured to Zhang Dahu and the others that they had reached the mobile sentry post and asked them to be careful.
When Li Jianwei was gesturing, he tripped over a vine. His foot slipped and made a little noise. Then he heard someone ask in Japanese: "Who!"
Li Jianwei quickly hid in the bushes on the roadside and meowed twice like a cat. Zhang Dahu and Jiang Wukui also hid in the bushes and grass next to them.
"Wild cat?" It was in Japanese.
"Of course it's a wild cat. Who could come here? It's really incredible that they made us so nervous while we were guarding a few empty beds in an empty cave!" said a sentry in Japanese.
"Why are you saying that? What if anyone hears you!" said another sentry.
"How could there be someone?"
"I'm talking about the possibility of a catastrophe! Mishima Kawako said that the Kongyan Cave is also top secret! If she knew that you were talking about what happened in the cave, you'd be in trouble!"
"Mishima Kawako? Why would she come here at night ? She rarely comes during the day. She came the day before yesterday and also gave a lecture. You said she is so beautiful, how could she be so heartless? We work hard, but she seems not to notice it. She only knows how to criticize us." The sentry complained.
" Stop talking. The replacement will be here soon."
"Okay, no more talking. Let's go and take a walk." The sentry said as he walked towards Zhang Dahu and the others.
Li Jianwei saw the sentry walking past, got out and walked quickly forward, Zhang Dahu and Jiang Wukui also came out of the bushes and followed him half-backward. After walking for a few minutes, Li Jianwei stopped and waited for Zhang Dahu to approach.
"Keep moving forward and be careful not to be discovered by the sentry who comes to relieve the shift." said Zhang Dahu.
"Shall we go to the edge of the cave?"
"No, let's go a little further and find a big tree to scout. We don't need to go to the cave. We can talk about it after we go back. Let's go." Zhang Dahu said in a low voice.
After a while, Li Jianwei saw many big trees around, so he stopped and thought it was an ideal place for observation.
Zhang Dahu came over and gestured to Li Jianwei and Jiang Wukui to go into the woods on the left.
The three of them entered the woods, and Zhang Dahu said, "Jianwei, you go up the tree to scout, and we'll be on guard below."
Li Jianwei climbed up the tree like a monkey again, took out his binoculars and looked around. There was no sentry coming to relieve the guard on the road, he knew that the sentry at the beginning said "a while", not a few minutes, according to reason, the shift should be relieved at 2 am, and it was just past midnight.
I could see the area around the cave more clearly, and the situation around the cave was also clearer. Although the moonlight was dim, the human figures were still relatively clear.
Li Jianwei didn't find anything new. He slid down the tree and said, "No new discovery. The situation is the same as at the beginning. What should we do? Should we try to find the cave?"
"No need. Retreat. Be careful when returning so as not to alert the sentries. We will hide in the bushes on the side when they are walking back. We will leave after they pass by." Zhang Dahu said.
The three men walked back and hid in the bushes when they heard a slight sound ahead. After the sentinel passed by, they came out and walked towards the city.
When I got home, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"Let's take a shower! Wash your body clean, then we'll discuss it and go to bed." Zhang Dahu said.
"Go wash first!" said Li Jianwei.
Zhang Dahu went into the bathroom, and Jiang Wukui took off his nightgown. He said, "We killed two sentries, which was like eating tofu. But I know that killing them would alert the enemy."
"If we kill two sentinels, we might as well kill them all and take a look in the cave." Li Jianwei also took off his night suit.
"We were launching a surprise attack, so of course we could kill them and get into the cave. Tell me, why didn't Dahu do that?" Jiang Wukui said.
"Are you discussing this? Let's take a shower! Jiang Wukui, go take a shower." Zhang Dahu came out.
"good."
Jiang Wukui went in. Li Jianwei looked at Zhang Dahu and said with a smile, "It is still very useful for us to learn Japanese."
"It's a required course, how can it not be useful?" Zhang Dahu said with a smile.
"The Japanese sentry said that no one would hear us. Who would know that we were next to them?" Li Jianwei said with a smile.
"Okay, Jianwei, go take a shower." Jiang Wukui came out wearing shorts.
"I just took a quick shower and was in a hurry to discuss. I want to hear what you have to say!" Jiang Wukui said as he draped his clothes over his shoulders.
"I'm so impatient. I have to wash slowly to get rid of the sweat on my body." said Li Jianwei.
"Wash it! It's better to take a knife and scrape off the skin." Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
Li Jianwei went in and started washing. He just rinsed it briefly and didn't have the patience to wash it slowly.
"Dahu, just now we said that we could kill the sentry and go into the cave to take a look. Why did you turn back?" Jiang Wukui looked at Zhang Dahu.
"What do you think?"
"I don't understand it, do I?"
"What did Jian Wei say?"
"He didn't say it directly. I said that killing those two sentries would be as easy as eating white tofu. He said that in that case, it would be better to kill everyone and go into the cave," said Jiang Wukui.
"I'm right, right? Killing two sentinels has already alarmed them. We might as well go into the cave and take a look. Dahu. Don't you think so?" Li Jianwei came out.
"Didn't you say to wash it thoroughly? Why is it so fast?" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"I heard you talking about me and was afraid that you would say bad things about me." Li Jianwei laughed.
"Okay. Let's start with the discussion we just had. Why are we returning? Jianwei, do you think it's appropriate to return?" Zhang Dahu asked.
"Of course. We have heard the sentinels' conversation and know that there are only empty beds in the cave, so there is no need to alert the enemy." said Li Jianwei.
"That's right. If we are discovered by two sentinels, we have no choice but to kill them, then eliminate the other sentinels and go into the cave to find out the situation. But in this case, our actions will be completely exposed? Think about it, why did Mishima Kawako choose this place? What is her purpose? Concealment! Right? If we take down this cave, she will find a more hidden place to implement the 'Cockroach Operation', which is not a good thing for us." Zhang Dahu said.
"I understand. Dahu is wise!" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"At present, what we need to figure out is why there is an empty bed in the cave? What does this indicate? Let's talk about it." Zhang Dahu asked the question, wanting to understand what Li Jianwei and others thought.
"I see that there are empty beds in the cave, which means people will live there in the future. This cave will not be used for just one or two days," said Jiang Wukui.
"That's right. Who will live there? What will they do there?" Zhang Dahu asked again.
"This is a crucial issue. At present, we can only guess but cannot determine. Will they move in technical personnel? For example, what kind of weapons will they develop that are urgently needed on the battlefield?" said Li Jianwei.
"This possibility is very high. The cave is hidden, and any sound it makes cannot be known to the outside world. If you are developing weapons, choosing a cave like this is ideal. This possibility does exist. Have you thought of anything else?" Zhang Dahu is very inspiring.
"I can't think of anything else at the moment," said Li Jianwei .
