Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

The next thirty-odd miles.

Zhou Tianyang went through the same thing.

Riding that three-wheeled motorcycle, wearing that Japanese sergeant's uniform, I drove slowly north along the dirt road.

At each checkpoint, he would slow down and adopt an air of official business.

None of the Japanese soldiers at the checkpoints stopped him when they saw his uniform.

At some checkpoints, the Japanese soldiers would even come up to us, stand at attention, and salute us with great respect.

"Sergeant, you've worked hard!"

"Sir Sergeant, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhou Tianyang would nod each time and say a few indifferent words in fluent Japanese.

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep up the high alert."

"Yes! Please take care!"

Then, amidst the stares of the Japanese soldiers, he swaggered through the checkpoint and walked away.

This feeling is fucking awesome.

Zhou Tianyang cursed inwardly, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

In this Japanese-occupied area, a Japanese skin and Japanese language were practically a passport.

Not only do they have unimpeded access, but they are also respected.

Those Japanese officers of higher rank wouldn't ask him a single question when they saw his attire.

After all, no one would have expected it.

A person dressed in Imperial Army uniform and speaking fluent Tokyo dialect could be the assassin who killed the Imperial Army Lieutenant General.

It's like someone wearing a police uniform who speaks fluent Mandarin.

If he struts around on the street, who would suspect that he is a murderer?

Zhou Tianyang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

But he held back.

We haven't left Taiyuan yet, and we're not in a safe place, so we can't be careless.

He continued riding his motorcycle northward.

The sky gradually darkened.

Zhou Tianyang looked around at the terrain and decided not to travel any further today.

Further north, you'll enter the mountains, where the roads are rugged and driving at night is unsafe.

Moreover, he has now left Taiyuan.

He will spend the night here and continue his journey early tomorrow morning.

Zhou Tianyang parked his motorcycle under a big tree by the roadside and jumped off.

He glanced at the three-wheeled motorcycle, then at the bushes by the roadside.

This thing can't be kept.

This motorcycle is too conspicuous; it's easy for people to spot it if it's parked on the side of the road.

"System, store the sidecar motorcycle into the system space."

[Have you confirmed adding the item to your system space? Confirm?]

"confirm."

A faint light flashed, and the sidecar motorcycle vanished into thin air, leaving only a few shallow marks on the ground.

Zhou Tianyang started looking for a place to spend the night.

Walk about 100 meters east from the roadside, and you'll find a small grove of trees.

The woods weren't dense, but they were enough to block the view.

There is a large rock in the woods, sheltered from the wind.

There was also a patch of dry weeds nearby, which could be used as a mattress on the ground.

Zhou Tianyang walked over and sat down on the rock.

He took out dry food and a water bottle from the system space and started eating.

After a while.

He put the kettle into his system space, then leaned against the rock and looked at the stars in the sky.

Zhou Tianyang took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

My nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed.

"system."

"Open my properties panel."

As soon as he finished speaking, a screen of light unfolded in his mind.

Zhou Tianyang looked at the score number and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

112,236 points.

One hundred thousand points came from that Japanese lieutenant general, and ten thousand points came from that Japanese colonel.

The remaining change was what he had left over from before.

There were also the 100 points I got from killing that Japanese sergeant and the 5 points I got from killing another Japanese soldier when I stole the car.

More than 110,000 points.

That's enough for him to do a lot of things.

That's enough for him to fully arm the Second New Regiment to the teeth.

That's enough for him to raise the physical condition of all the soldiers in the regiment to its peak.

That's enough for him to equip every company with mortars, every platoon with submachine guns, and every squad with light machine guns.

There might even be quite a bit left over.

Zhou Tianyang leaned against a rock, his mind starting to plan how to spend this huge sum of money.

But all of that will happen after we get back.

The most important thing right now is to sleep.

We still have to travel tomorrow, walking dozens of miles of mountain roads before we can get back to Lijia Yu.

He needs to get enough rest.

Zhou Tianyang closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and slowly relaxed.

……

at the same time.

Taiyuan City, First Army Headquarters.

The lights were still on in the commander's office.

Yoshijiro Umezu sat behind his desk, his gaze fixed on the two spent cartridge cases on the table.

He has been holding this position for a long time.

He had been sitting there almost the entire afternoon since he returned to headquarters, barely moving.

There were also many documents piled up on the table, all of which were search reports sent back by various military units.

None of them were of any value.

"Report!"

The adjutant's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Yoshijiro Umezu put down his teacup and leaned back in his chair.

The adjutant pushed open the door and walked in, stood at attention and saluted, his face somewhat grim.

"Commander, the latest reports from all units have been compiled."

"read."

Yoshijiro Umezu spoke calmly.

But there was something indescribable in his eyes.

The adjutant opened the folder in his hand and began to read.

"Report from Taiyuan Garrison Command!"

"We searched the hilly area north of Taiyuan all day and found several suspicious traces, but we couldn't find the killer no matter how hard we tried."

"The First Army's directly subordinate units reported that a thorough search was conducted within a 20-mile radius of Guangshe Airport, but no suspicious persons were found."

"Reports from all checkpoints: Today, a total of over 1,200 pedestrians were checked, and 43 suspicious persons were detained. After interrogation, all of them were cleared of suspicion."

After the adjutant finished reading, he closed the folder, lowered his head, and dared not look Yoshijiro Umezu in the eye.

The office remained silent for a long time.

Yoshijiro Umezu didn't speak, but just stared at the two shell casings on the table.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, once, twice, three times.

Then he spoke.

"What about the airport?"

"The airport military police have been searching the north all day with their men."

The adjutant's voice grew softer and softer.

"Some footprints were found, but they disappeared after we traced them to the hilly area."

"The terrain in that area is too complicated, and the vegetation is too dense. It's impossible to search after dark."

"Yamamoto-kun said to continue the search first thing tomorrow morning."

Yoshijiro Umezu's lips twitched slightly.
