The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

Chapter 350: Getting by with deception

The supply truck moved slowly forward along the narrow mountain road.

The battalion commander sat in the car and chatted with the escort officer. Since neither of them knew each other and had no common friends, they were having a very happy chat for a while and did not notice anything wrong at all.

When he arrived at the camp gate, the battalion commander quickly lowered his neck and hid his head.

"Hey, what are you doing..." The escort officer looked at his strange behavior and asked in confusion.

We're almost entering the camp, why are you still embarrassed?

"Shh!" the battalion commander whispered, "Don't let them see this, or someone will definitely leak the secret to their superiors."

"I understand!" The escort officer immediately understood what he meant and gave him a reassuring look.

During patrol time, you cannot change your post at will. I think this guy was afraid of being discovered by people here, so he did this.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the camp and the same process happened again.

The patrol team on duty came forward and greeted them warmly.

"Why are you here so late? We haven't had meat for two meals!"

"We were delayed on the road and encountered an attack by the rebels." The escort officer smiled and distributed cigarettes to everyone, looking back from time to time, afraid that the battalion commander hiding in the driver's seat would be discovered.

"What was delivered today? Is there any fresh fish?" The patrol officer, with a diligent and responsible attitude, lifted the curtain at the back of the car and began to check carefully.

Due to Inoue Sanye's strict requirements, they now conduct a comprehensive inspection of every car entering and leaving to prevent any mistakes.

"It's a bit difficult to get fresh fish today. We'll be able to get it once it thaws." The escort officer, cigarette butt in his mouth, chatted with the driver at the door of the car. "Even if there's some fresh fish, it's given priority to the superiors. If we want to eat it, we'll have to wait in line."

"I eat dried vegetables every day, and I feel like a piece of dried vegetable!" The patrol team member kept muttering and complaining while checking.

When they found the carriage behind the escort officer, a young man lifted the tarpaulin, his eyes sparkling, and he shouted happily, "What a good thing! I didn't expect you to have such good stuff hidden here."

Upon hearing this, everyone around became interested and gathered around to see what it was.

The escort officer hurried forward, and when he saw several boxes of Coke hidden in the carriage, he immediately relaxed and joked to the others, "This is what Watanabe-kun from Logistics asked for. If you don't mind the punishment, feel free to drink it."

"Watanabe-kun?" Sure enough, when they heard that it was their boss's thing, the expressions of these guys suddenly changed, and they put down the Coke bottles reluctantly.

It is freezing cold during this period, and some places are even snowing, which makes the transportation of logistical supplies extremely difficult, and some ordinary things have become precious.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. How long will it take to investigate in this cold weather?" Seeing that it was almost night, the escort officer sent them all away and waved to the guards at the gate: "Open the door, open the door. There will be a snack tomorrow, with meat!"

As he was speaking, the vehicle started again and slowly drove into the camp under the gaze of everyone.

……

Ten minutes later, the convoy stopped at the logistics department. The battalion commander, who had been hiding in the driver's seat, poked his head out and secretly looked around.

"Don't look. It's safe here. No one will find you." The escort officer pulled two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed them to him. He leaned casually against the front of the truck and kindly reminded him, "You have half an hour. I'll take you out after we unload the cargo."

"Okay, thank you, brother, you are so nice!" The battalion commander expressed his gratitude with great joy.

It was like a pillow was given to him just when he was sleepy. He was thinking about how to get out, but he didn't expect this kid to be so smart.

"I'll go back first and see you later!" The battalion commander pretended to walk towards the depths of the camp.

Only after he completely disappeared into the darkness did he crouch down and search around.

There are seven or eight thousand Sakura Country troops stationed in this camp. Assuming there are ten people in one tent, there are hundreds of tents. If we search one by one, we may not find Jin Zaishan before dawn.

Just when the battalion commander was having a headache and didn't know how to start, a team of patrolmen came towards him from around the corner.

The moment their eyes met, everyone was stunned.

Fortunately, the battalion commander was quick-witted and the first to recover. He asked, "I'm from the logistics department delivering supplies. Inoue-kun asked me to bring over some medicines. He said there's a seriously injured soldier waiting to be treated. Where's the doctor?"

"Oh, the logistics supply truck is here?" The leader of the other side immediately smiled with joy after learning his identity and asked, "Is there any meat this time?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Pork, mutton, beef, plenty of it!" The battalion commander lied with his eyes open and almost blurted out dragon meat.

Anyway, the fire will not start until tomorrow morning, and he will have run away by then, so who cares about the meat?

"Yoshi!" The leader was delighted to hear that. He patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the center of the camp, reminding him, "The doctor is in the tent next to the headquarters. He's caring for the patients. Be careful."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The battalion commander bowed ninety degrees to the other party, then marched confidently towards the center of the camp.

The more times like this happen, the more he must not panic. If these dwarfs notice anything amiss, he'll be finished.

Five minutes later, they deceived the two patrol commanders again and finally found the target tent.

At this moment, the lights were still on in the tent, and several figures could be vaguely seen sitting inside.

"Huh..." The battalion commander standing at the door took a deep breath, relieving his inner pressure while patting his stiff face to make his smile more natural.

"report!"

"Come in!" A slightly tired response came from inside the tent.

The battalion commander no longer hesitated and lifted the curtain and walked inside.

As he walked deeper, the scene inside the tent suddenly came into his sight. At this time, two medical staff were standing on the left and right of the bed, and there was also a doctor in his forties or fifties, wearing a white sanitary cap, drinking tea leisurely on the side.

Under the care of several people, Jin Zaishan, lying on the hospital bed, looked pale and sleepless. He just lay there straight, with dull eyes, like a piece of wood.

"Who are you and what's the matter?" When the military doctor saw that the person coming was a stranger, he immediately perked up and asked softly.

"I'm here to deliver medicine." The battalion commander maintained a faint smile, took two steps forward to stand in front of him, and pretended to take something from his arms.

The doctor who saw this scene immediately sounded the alarm in his heart, and stood up to yell at him to stop.

However, facing the agile battalion commander, he was still a step slower.

The battalion commander took out a dagger emitting a cold light from his arms, and with a flick of his hand, he easily cut his throat.

When the blood spurted out, the remaining two medical staff were dumbfounded.

What's the situation?

Kill your own people?
