Chapter 257
As for Xia Zhizhi.
Of course she took Ah Ju to watch the game openly.
She set out at ten o'clock and was stopped immediately when she arrived at the place. Her press card and letter of introduction were checked to confirm that she was not an enemy spy. The comrades who stopped her put away their guns and then persuaded her.
"Comrade Xia, there might be a gunfight soon. It's not safe here. You should go back and wait."
How could Xia Zhizhi leave now that she was here?
If she wasn't afraid that things would get chaotic and cause trouble for them, she would have gone to the sea to watch the battle up close.
"How can that be possible? I am a reporter, I have the right to know, I want to follow the investigation throughout!"
No matter how those little warriors tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen.
After all, she is also well-known to a certain extent, and this news was also found out by her and Aju at great risk. She can't just forcibly take these two away.
A young soldier went to find their platoon leader.
The people came over quickly. Their platoon leader was not very old, about 20 years old, tall, with a straight back, and he had the youthful vigor of a young general. At this time, he had a stern face and looked a bit serious.
The family background is good.
This is the demeanor that can only be cultivated through good food, good drink and good education.
If nothing unexpected happens, he must be a second-generation military prodigy.
The young soldier complained: "Platoon leader, Comrade Xia refused to listen and insisted on following us."
The platoon leader looked at Xia Zhizhi twice more, and seeing that she was adamant about her opinion, he stopped trying to persuade her. After all, time was running out. "If you want to come over, you have to follow our instructions. There will definitely be a conflict. Guns and knives have no eyes. We cannot guarantee your safety 100%."
Xia Zhizhi nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a good cover and hide and not run around."
The platoon leader arranged them in the rear.
How much later?
The wind is so strong at the seaside that even if someone shoots someone on the beach, you may not be able to hear the sound clearly here.
Xia Zhizhi did not want to take any further advantage and climbed to a place with a higher view and hid behind a large rock.
The young platoon leader looked around and determined that this place was safer, so he said, "Don't run around, just stay here."
Xia Zhizhi nodded repeatedly. The wind was strong by the sea and even stronger on the mountain top. The big rock she had specially chosen was just the right place to block the wind. Where else could you find such a good spot?
At about 1:40, several small fishing boats staggered close to the beach, attracting the soldiers on duty.
While checking fishing boats and educating fishermen, a ship approached the shore from the rocks on the side of the mountain.
No normal person would choose to dock here. There is no place to step and if you are not careful you will get a big cut.
The good thing is that there are reefs here to cover it, so it is difficult to be discovered.
The Japanese soldiers chattered in low voices while climbing up the mountain with great difficulty.
Xia Zhizhi felt that they could be bolder. The waves were hitting the shore from time to time, which was very noisy, and no one around could hear them even if they spoke loudly.
For fear of alerting the enemy, they jumped into the sea and escaped.
The soldiers waited until they reached the shore and climbed halfway up the mountain before they began their attack.
After a few gunshots, five were killed and the rest were captured alive.
Except for a young soldier whose arm was scratched by a stray bullet, the injury was not serious, and no one else was injured.
There was no surprise or danger, and it can be said that a complete victory was achieved without any casualties.
The Warriors were all excited.
The Japanese were taken back for trial, and the rest of the troops withdrew, leaving only one company to continue squatting and cleaning up the battlefield.
The young platoon leader came over and squatted next to Xia Zhizhi, grinning and showing a tiger tooth: "Hello Comrade Xia, I am Cheng Yao, Cheng Rong (Pig Girl) her third brother, has Cheng Rong told you about me?"
Cheng Rong did say that she had three brothers, but after her eldest and second brothers failed in their careers, she never mentioned the third brother again. Xia Zhizhi didn't know the name of the third brother of the Cheng family.
But she definitely couldn't say that. Xia Zhizhi immediately shook hands with him and said, "I've said that before. After seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a young hero, and your reputation is well deserved!"
"No, no, thank you for the award." Cheng Yao tried hard to suppress the smile on his face and be polite to her, but he really couldn't, so he could only grin foolishly.
Cheng Yao smiled foolishly for a while and said, "It's getting late. Where do you live? I'll have someone take you back. It's a rare occasion for you to come here, and it's such a coincidence that we meet. I'll take a day off tomorrow and show you around here."
"Nothing, no need to worry. Just go ahead and do your work. I'll handle it myself. I won't affect your work."
Cheng Yao was just a platoon leader, responsible for leading the team on missions. The subsequent interrogation work was not under Cheng Yao's jurisdiction and had no impact on him.
Xia Zhizhi tried to refuse, but seeing that Cheng Yao insisted, she let him do it.
She was in no hurry to leave anyway.
We stayed in the guesthouse as usual at night.
Cheng Yao came to see her early the next morning.
When he is not working, Cheng Yao is very cheerful. After learning that Xia Zhizhi has already been shopping here, he no longer mentions taking her shopping.
Instead, he said to her mysteriously, "I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
Speaking of this, Xia Zhizhi also became interested: "Which hotel's specialty is this?"
Cheng Yao shook his head: "Come on, come on, you'll know when you get there."
Cheng Yao went to the grocery store to buy some things. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be going to visit someone's home.
Xia Zhizhi didn't want to go empty-handed, so she bought some fruits to carry with her.
As expected, Cheng Yao took her directly to a family's yard and shouted at the door: "Fourth Master, Fourth Aunt, I'm here!"
"Yaozi is here!" A little old lady came out of the house and said, "Come if you want to. Why do you always bring things with you? Your grandfather went to the next door. I'll go call him."
The old lady saw Xia Zhizhi and Ah Ju behind her, let go of Cheng Yao, and came forward to say, "Look at how good these two children are. I've lived for so long, but this is the first time I've seen such pretty people. Come on, come in and sit down. I'll let your grandfather make you something delicious!"
The two old men were used to Cheng Yao bringing people over to eat and drink.
Cheng Yao and Xia Zhizhi introduced: "My fourth uncle is from my grandfather's cousin's branch. His ancestors all opened a restaurant. Now the restaurant has been merged into a joint venture. My cousin is running the hotel. He is retired and rarely works at home. But whenever I come, he will cook for me. You will taste his cooking skills later. I am not exaggerating, it is definitely worth the trip!"
An old man came into the room and his eyes lit up when he saw Xia Zhizhi. Cheng Yao had previously brought comrades-in-arms, all of whom were male comrades, and this was the first time he brought a girl here.
Mr. Cheng felt that he understood.
As for the huge orange next to it.
People can only see what they want to see.
Master Cheng smiled very kindly: "Don't listen to this kid's bragging. I just know a little bit and can cook a few dishes. It's not as good as he said. It's just enough to fill my stomach."
Master Cheng went inside to change his coat, and then took out a plate of brown sugar cakes. He said to Xia Zhizhi, "Your grandma just made this yesterday. The girls in my family love it. You should try it too. You guys play for a while. Your grandma and I will go buy some food."
He gave Cheng Yao a few more instructions, then took the vegetable basket and went out with his wife.
