It was still the same, with Cui Hao taking the lead to communicate with the Japanese and puppet troops on the platform.

This time, a Japanese captain came out of the train station. This captain was very kind to Cui Hao, and even talked to Cui Hao in a nonchalant manner.

Afterwards, the captain personally ran to the train to greet Jiangdong, his tone full of flattery and respect.

In the eyes of others, the Japanese and puppet troops at Qufu Railway Station were no different from those in other places, and no one had any doubts about this train.

However, Jiang Dong always felt that something was wrong. He carefully observed it, but found nothing.

Jiangdong believed in his own intuition, which he had developed during his two lifetimes of fighting.

Whenever something feels wrong in your heart, there must be something fishy about the surrounding situation.

Jiang Dong gave the captain a few perfunctory words, and then hurriedly ordered the train to continue moving forward.

After the train left, the tranquility in David's eyes was no longer there, instead they were filled with endless coldness.

"Report to the headquarters that the train has passed Qufu smoothly. The enemy is still the same as before, thinking that we are unaware of anything."

"Hiyi!"

Not long after the train left Qufu, it became completely dark.

The uneasiness in Jiang Dong's heart was getting stronger and stronger. He found some clues, but he couldn't catch them.

At midnight, the train arrived at Tai'an Station.

Although Jiang Dong felt uneasy, he still kept the troops as they were and marched into Tai'an Station in a swaggering manner.

This time, as soon as the train stopped, a major officer came up to him with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Colonel, you have worked hard, would you like to rest for a while in Tai'an?"

Jiang Dong was puzzled in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"There's no need to rest, I'm in a hurry to get to Jinan!"

"Hey Yi!" The major officer said simply and did not say anything to force him to stay. "Then I will immediately ask the soldiers to replenish supplies for your warriors."

"Yeah." Jiang Dong softly uttered a syllable.

The major bowed and saluted, and then I made several gestures to the platform.

Soon, dozens of Japanese soldiers came out carrying water and food.

"Come for a drink of water!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Long live the Japanese Empire!"

"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"

…

The Japanese soldiers at the station greeted the soldiers of the Independence Brigade warmly.

But the brothers in the Independent Brigade couldn't understand Japanese. They all laughed without saying a word, acting like a group of fools.

When the Japanese soldiers saw this, no one questioned them and they continued to chat happily and give them water and food.

Jiang Dong's brows wrinkled obviously, and the guess in his heart was completely confirmed at this moment.

The little devils have discovered the identity of the Independent Brigade, but they pretend not to know!

Jiang Dong was anxious and asked calmly:

"How did you know my identity?"

He was sure that he had never told the major about his rank and identity.

The Major replied in a respectful tone:

"We received a call from Tengxian Railway Station, who told me your identity and news!"

"Damn, what a shame!" Jiang Dong cursed in his heart, but what he said was something else:

"Oh, well done!"

"This is what we should do. Sir Colonel, thank you for your hard work on the front line!"

Food and water had been delivered to the train, but the Japanese soldiers still had no intention of leaving. When Jiang Dong saw this, he loudly ordered:

"No talking is allowed, we are pressed for time, the train will leave immediately!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand so that Wan Changshou and others in the cab could understand what he meant.

"Beep..." The train made a long beep.

"You continue to stick to your posts, I won't stop!" Jiang Dong said to the major.

"Hi Yi, I wish you a good journey, Colonel!"

The speed of the train gradually increased, and it slowly left Tai'an and entered the wilderness.

It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Dong's expression changed.

"Damn it, slow down the train immediately and drive slower!"

He was not sure whether there were Japanese troops following him, and it might be more troublesome if he stopped.

"What's wrong, Brigadier?" Xie Chengrui asked strangely.

"Slow down first!"

"clear!"

"squeak……"

In the dark night, the sound of the train's brakes could be heard far away.

"The little Japs have discovered us. If I guessed correctly, there must be a large number of Japs waiting for us ahead!"

"What!" Xie Chengrui was surprised, he was not aware of what Jiang Dong said at all.

"Don't worry, I don't think the little devil will take action for a while!"

Xie Chengrui asked urgently: "What's going on?"

Jiang Dong immediately told his findings,

"I noticed something was wrong when we were passing through Qufu, and I didn't fully understand it until just now."

"When we were in Qufu, a group of Japanese and puppet soldiers stood on the stage. The puppet soldiers were all huddled behind. Although they seemed to be standing neatly, they seemed to be very scared. There were also little Japanese, with their bayonets and guns.

He kept pointing in the direction of our train."

Although the Japanese soldiers had tried their best to restrain themselves, some instinctive expressions could not be concealed.

"When we were in Tai'an, the Japs' behavior was even more abnormal. Think about it, at the station we passed before, did any Japs soldiers come up to deliver water in person?"

Xie Chengrui shook his head slightly.

"Delivering water in person is only one aspect. I also found that the Japanese soldiers were deliberately talking to our brothers. I think the Japanese soldiers were trying to confirm our identities at the end. Our brothers said nothing and stood stupidly. Even so, the Japanese soldiers

The soldiers were still laughing and saying to themselves, something is wrong, very wrong!"

Xie Chengrui carefully recalled what Jiang Dong said, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Now that we have been discovered, why don't you expose us? Is there really an ambush ahead?"

Jiang Dong looked serious and nodded solemnly.

"The major said he received a notice from Tengxian Railway Station. It seems that the Japs second lieutenant in Tengxian County probably reported our news to Jinan, and later the Japs from Qufu and Tai'an came to test us on purpose."

"I think the lack of troops is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that the people from the Jinan headquarters intend to wipe out all of us."

"The Japanese along the way pretended not to know, making us careless and falling into their preset pockets."

"Huh!" Xie Chengrui exhaled heavily, "What should we do now? Get off the car?"

Jiangdong's original plan was to take a train across the Yellow River from Jinan, and then blow up the railway bridge over the Yellow River after crossing the river.

The Jinan Yellow River Railway Bridge is an important node on the Jin-Puzhou Railway. If the railway bridge is blown up, the traffic on the north and south sides of the Yellow River will be paralyzed.

Moreover, the duration of paralysis is not ten days and a half, but half a year or longer.

The Japanese base camp has given up the battle plan of descending from the Central Plains to Wuhan, and instead decided to march west along the Yangtze River to Wuhan.

This resulted in the Japanese army's supply lines being stretched, and various military materials produced in Northeast China could only be transported to the front line through railway lines.

If the north and south of the Jinpu Line lose contact, the supply of the Japanese army will become more difficult.

This is why Jiangdong wanted to hit the Japanese army hard again before retreating.

Just now,

This plan needs to be changed.

"map!"

The train had slowed down, and the soldiers were confused, but they didn't know what was happening.

Xie Chengrui hurriedly laid out the map in front of Jiang Dong.
