The next afternoon.

Hashimoto Cavalry Squadron Station.

This was originally Huasheng Electrical Appliance Factory.

In the 25th year of the Republic of China, Huasheng successfully developed an AC three-phase generator of 500 kVA, 2300 volts and 500 rpm, and is also the largest alternator in China so far.

Now is the peak period of the booming development of national industries.

The annual industrial economic growth rate of more than 10% has attracted worldwide attention.

You know, the UK has only a growth rate of about 3%.

However, war destroyed everything.

Under the muzzle, everyone is like a lamb to be slaughtered.

After the Battle of Songhu broke out, including technicians, Huasheng Electrical Appliance Factory moved to Chongqing as a whole.

After the fall of Shanghai, it became the garrison of Hashimoto's cavalry squadron.

Based on this, it is about fifty meters. It is the famous "big temple" built in the Yuan Dynasty - Zhenru Temple.

The nameless river is near the temple.

At this time, 120 prisoners of war were cleaning the horse circle.

Because it was still raining, the military police did not monitor it nearby, and they all stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain.

In their opinion, these prisoners of war who were shackled had no chance to escape.

While working, Lieutenant Liu Quanfu whispered to a sergeant: "Passing it down, after the shackles are opened, they all run into sweet water, and someone there is picking us up..."

One passes one, and the order is quickly passed.

Before this, only prisoners of war in the same cell knew about this.

Commander Honda from the cavalry squadron came over, looked at the silent prisoners of war, and said in a stiff Mandarin: "Hey, you two, come here!"

The warrant officer and the private who were named were the injured leg.

Private Xiaohou is only seventeen years old this year and used to be an orderly soldier.

The two followed Chief Honda to a two-story building.

This is the office building of Huasheng Electrical Appliance Factory, and now it has become the headquarters of Hashimoto Cavalry Squadron.

There is also a horse ring downstairs, inside which is a war horse that is close to dark brown.

This is the mount of the squadron leader Hashimoto, and it is an extremely rare purebred Dayuan Ryoko.

Hashimoto cherishes this horse very much and specially builds a horse ring to raise it separately.

The terrain of the horse circle is low, and after a heavy rain, the surrounding area is muddy.

Under the order of Chief Honda, the warrant officer and Xiaohou used a trolley to transport sand to flatten the low-lying area.

After a while, Chief Honda covered his abdomen with his hands and frowned.

Two Japanese soldiers were also with him.

One of them asked, "Honda, what's wrong?"

"The stomach is uncomfortable."

Chief Honda untied the bullet belt, handed it to his companions together with the rifle, and walked quickly towards the team.

There is a bathroom with a flush toilet on the first floor of the team headquarters.

There are also many fragments in the bullet belt, and they weigh at least a dozen pounds together.

Now it's not on the battlefield, so of course there is no need to bring in troubled weapons and equipment.

The Japanese soldiers put the bullet belt on the fence of the horse ring.

The two chatted while watching the prisoners of war working.

The warrant officer pushed the wheelbarrow, and Xiaohou helped.

Xiao Hou didn't pay attention to the empty footsteps, and his body lost balance. He first hit the fence. Before he could stand firm, his feet slipped and he fell down four feet towards the sky, making his body covered in mud and water.

Seeing Xiaohou’s embarrassing appearance, the two Japanese soldiers laughed.

None of them noticed, the fence was shaken, and a grenade fell out of the bullet belt.

At this time, Chief Honda walked over with a relaxed look on his face. He also laughed for a while when he saw this scene. He picked up the bullet belt and put it on his body. He shouted, "You two, don't be lazy, hurry up!"

The warrant officer pushed the wheelbarrow hard, and a cart of sand fell under the fence.

The sand just covered the Type 97 grenade.

Seeing that Chief Honda did not notice that there was anything missing in the bullet belt.

The warrant officer then said to Xiaohou: "Stop here and don't let people see it!"

Xiaohou was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the warrant officer's meaning, blocking the Japanese soldiers' vision with his body.

The warrant officer fumbled in the sand for a while and quietly put the grenade in his arms.

Xiao Hou whispered, "If you are discovered..."

The warrant officer glared at him: "Crow's mouth!"

...

After an hour, the rain gradually weakened.

The prisoners of war led their army and horses toward the unknown river.

The Hashimoto Cavalry Squadron had a total of 144 people and a total of 134 war horses.

The army may be brought out at one time.

In case of an emergency, the cavalry squadron will not be able to do without a horse.

So, this time, only 50 military horses were brought out.

After heavy rain, the Wuming River was turbulent.

All the military horses were led by the river, and basically two prisoners of war washed one horse.

Just as Xu Yanlin guessed, Kenji Nakajima and a few people rushed to the sweet water excitedly.

I finally came here, but I had to bring back a few buckets of well water.

Liu Quanfu and Xiao Hou were in absent-mindedly washing the military horses.

I saw the machine gunner hurried to the nearby forest.

There is only one deputy shooter left in the machine gun position.

Liu Quanfu knew that according to what the insider who passed the notes to him, now is the opportunity!

He squatted in the water and quietly opened his shackles with the key.

Xiao Hou looked around nervously.

"Company Commander, see what this is!"

The warrant officer came over and lifted a corner of his clothes.

Seeing the riveter pull ring, Liu Quanfu was surprised: "Where did it come from?"

The warrant officer smiled and said, "It's the Japanese."

"You stolen it?"

"Um."

"Did no one see it?"

"have!"

“………”

"Hehe, Xiaohou saw it."

"......Open the shackles first, tell the brothers, listen to my order!"

At this moment, a horse came like the wind.

It was the Honda Soldier immediately.

He now wishes he could reach the river in one step.

I just returned to the barracks to rest and found that a grenade was missing.

Any damage or loss of weapons due to improper storage is a violation of military discipline.

Honda doesn't want to try out the taste of a military soul stick.

He didn't dare to make a statement, so he searched the place he had been.

After searching for more than half an hour, I still couldn't find the grenade.
