Early in the morning, Chen Feng asked the team to continue resting in seclusion, while he went up to yesterday's high ground and kept an eye on the movements of the Sichuan Army's positions. Although the Japanese did not come, the Sichuan Army did not dare to relax their vigilance on the opposite side of the positions. In case the Japanese suddenly launched a sneak attack and broke through the Sichuan Army's positions, the defense line in the rear would be even more difficult to defend.

Before eight o'clock, Chen Feng noticed that five trucks drove to the rear of the position and a platoon of soldiers got off the trucks. Chen Feng observed through the telescope that it was the same guard platoon from yesterday, led by Wu Tianxiang. After a brief exchange with Zhang Xuanwu who was guarding the position, Zhang Xuanwu ordered the soldiers to start moving the supplies on the trucks. Wu Tianxiang led the guard platoon and went straight out of the east position and ran towards Chen Feng's hill.

Chen Feng exposed his body. Wu Tianxiang noticed it and ordered the soldiers to put away their rifles and wait on the spot. He went up to the high ground. Chen Feng was a little confused. The two communicators from the Fifth War Zone Command did not follow him yesterday. Wu Tianxiang took out the package in his arms, opened the layers of packaging, picked up the secret message book and handed it to Chen Feng:

Captain Lengqiang, this is what Li Yunyan specifically asked Master Wang to ask me to lead the team to deliver. Please keep it.

Chen Feng took the secret book, flipped through it roughly, closed it and continued to wrap it up, stuffed it into his arms, and expressed his gratitude to Wu Tianxiang. The two chatted casually for a while, and Chen Feng asked curiously:

Why didn’t Li Yunyan come yesterday?

I received a telegram from Xuzhou last night and was recalled early this morning. I don’t know what urgent matter requires me to go back and deal with it. However, Li Yunyan asked me to tell you a message when she left, asking you to contact her as soon as possible. She will ask the headquarters when she returns, and will let you know any news she can share at any time.

Chen Feng looked at the guard platoon that had come down from the high ground, his eyes flickering. Although he had established contact with the Fifth War Zone Command, he still couldn't expose the team's goals and habitat in the future. He remembered that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japanese spies were omnipresent, not to mention the Fifth War Zone, even the Chongqing Command had been infiltrated.

In addition, after I become thoroughly familiar with the Fifth War Zone, I will create a set of my own code book. This code book is not safe. I just took a quick look at it. As long as the eavesdropper has patience, he will be able to decipher it.

The secret message book was handed over, and the team had rested. Considering that it was daytime and the target would be too conspicuous no matter where they went, Chen Feng ordered the team:

Continue to rest during the day, and when evening comes, march quickly to Hujia Mountain. Bring all your equipment and wait for my news. I will go and do reconnaissance in disguise first.

When the team heard this, they all wanted to go with Chen Feng, but Chen Feng refused without hesitation. Daytime reconnaissance tests not only martial arts and abilities, but also high psychological qualities. If they are exposed, they will not be able to escape. In addition, if the team goes out now, it will definitely fall into the eyes of those who are interested, and there are many who will take risks for the reward. After all, the ruffians who are usually very active in this period, and they still dream of getting promoted and making a fortune every day. Now is the early stage of the War of Resistance, and it is not so bad. In a few years, traitors will emerge in endlessly, and they will be even more hateful than the Japanese. The Lone Wolf Commando must be careful in their future actions, and it is better to hide as much as possible if possible to avoid being exposed.

Chen Feng only took a few dozen nails and a Browning rifle from Liu Caiyun and set off alone.

Instead of advancing along the main road, Chen Feng walked through sparsely populated areas. In fact, since leaving the front line of the Sichuan Army's position, even if he had entered the enemy-occupied area, the Japanese did not have the energy to occupy towns and villages. The main troops were either on the battlefield or in the city. At most, some troops were allocated to protect the railways and major highway hubs. Chen Feng knew that with the fall of Teng County and Linyi, the Japanese army would definitely integrate the entire Shandong region, and his team's struggle would become more difficult at that time.

Chen Feng was moving forward cautiously while considering future strategies for the struggle when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the direction of the road. He quickly hid in an earthen embankment to observe. After a while, dust and smoke rose up. It turned out to be a large group of Japanese troops, heading for the Longshan position. Chen Feng was a little embarrassed because he was just about to go to Zou County to inquire about intelligence, but they came out early. The Japanese troops were very long, probably because they were afraid of a surprise attack. The three three-wheeled motorcycles in front were all equipped with Type 99 light machine guns, taking turns to fire at suspicious locations. In front was about a squadron of Japanese infantry and behind were trucks.

There were no cannons or tanks. It seemed that the Japs were ready to fight the Sichuan Army. After Chen Feng and other teams went there, they made a rough calculation and found that this group of Japs consisted of less than a regiment, more than 2,000 people. They were probably the follow-up troops of Lai Guqi's brigade, because at that time Lai Guqi's brigade had only 3,000 to 4,000 people. That's not right. Lai Guqi's brigade had long been gone. It should be called Chishiba Brigade. That's not right either. Commander Zhang Xuanwu said yesterday that Chishiba Yaezao was gone too. Forget it, they were all bastard Japs. It didn't matter what they were called. Chen Feng was not worried about the Longshan battlefield. The Sichuan Army had just received equipment and ammunition replenishment this morning. He believed that this group of Japs would not be able to break through the Sichuan Army's defense line in a short time.

Chen Feng continued to head towards Zou County. This group of devils were very vigilant. If they really had some ideas, it would probably be difficult to realize them. He was in no hurry to travel, because the team members would not arrive until the evening anyway. It was almost noon when Chen Feng arrived in Zou County and found that there was no martial law in Zou County. This group of devils were really bold and passed through the city gate smoothly. Chen Feng went directly to the restaurant he had visited last time. There were not many people on the road, and it was estimated that many people were hiding at home, looking forward to the end of the war.

The restaurant was very lively, with groups of Japanese devils occupying the private rooms, and outside were traitors with box guns. I thought this group of people acted quickly, as they had only been occupied by the Japanese for a short time and they had already surrendered to them.

Chen Feng found a corner to sit down, ordered two dishes, asked the waiter to make a pot of tea, and then quietly listened to the news.

The news from the traitors were all insignificant, such as who was summoned by Rensuke Isogai, who arrested suspected saboteur and was praised by the gendarmerie.

Chen Feng was not in a hurry. He asked for a few steamed buns after the dishes were served. He ate while listening. The Japanese were making a lot of noise and the atmosphere was very lively. They were talking in bird language and were not afraid of being overheard by outsiders. Chen Feng summarized some useful information during the meal. The Japanese follow-up troops arrived one after another and the supplies were almost ready. They were going to replenish the team within three days and then attack Teng County directly. However, the Japanese did not mention any supplies, but mentioned the train station and station warehouse several times.

After Chen Feng finished his meal, he heard that the Japanese were about to leave, so he threw down a dollar in advance and left the restaurant, preparing to go to the train station to take a look. When he turned a corner, he habitually looked out and found a group of Japanese soldiers escorting a group of Chinese people towards this side. Chen Feng wanted to hide, but there was no space. The Japanese were about to come over. The whole street was empty and every household had closed their doors. Chen Feng could only hide under the eaves of a resident, hoping that the Japanese were not coming here. As soon as the Japanese showed their heads, the door behind Chen Feng opened and an old lady waved to Chen Feng. Chen Feng hurried into the yard. The old lady then closed the door and peeked at the street outside through the crack in the door. The Japanese were indeed coming over. Fortunately, otherwise he would have definitely encountered the Japanese.
