After Zhang Tuanzhang took his medicine and fell asleep, Wang Wankai sat beside him in meditation. The political commissar and the chief of staff were also very puzzled; why was the second fool so obedient today?

Around 11 o'clock, the outside was unusually quiet, and the snow started to fall again. The command post did not dare to start a fire, fearing that the Japanese would bombard them.

The chief of staff and the political commissar were discussing something in the command post. Hu Hao stood up, took out his blanket to cover Zhang Tuanzhang, touched his forehead, and found that the fever had subsided a bit. Hu Hao grabbed his gun, picked up the clothes he had just stripped from a Japanese soldier, and headed outside.

"Hey, Second Fool, where are you going?" the political commissar shouted when he saw Hu Hao about to leave.

"To take a shit," Hu Hao said without turning back.

"Then come back quickly," the political commissar believed him and instructed.

After Hu Hao went down the mountain, he found a place, took off his clothes and pants, and put on the Japanese soldier's clothes. Looking at his own shoes and then at the Japanese soldier's shoes, he cursed, "Dead man, you don't need such good shoes, lend them to me." He then took off the shoes from the dead Japanese soldier's feet.

"Sure enough, you have the same size feet as me!" Hu Hao said.

After dressing up, Hu Hao started to loot the Japanese, taking out some grenades and heading towards the Japanese camp.

When he arrived at the Japanese camp, he saw that the Japanese sentries and guards were listless. Hu Hao found a good hiding spot and crouched down.

Most of the Japanese had already fallen asleep, and the bonfire outside had been extinguished by the snow.

"God, you're being nice this time. I won't curse you next time, and you don't strike me with lightning. If you do, make sure I can get back."

Hu Hao crouched into a Japanese tent and found that the Japanese were sleeping soundly. He pulled the pin on a grenade, set up a booby trap at the tent's entrance, and then left.

He continued setting up traps, and when he ran out of grenades, he crouched down and took the grenades from inside the tents. By around 2 a.m., he had almost finished setting up traps in all the tents in the camp.

Hu Hao grabbed a few landmines, pulled the pins, and threw them into a Japanese tent.

"Boom"

"The Eighth Route Army is attacking, everyone get up, the Eighth Route Army is attacking!" Hu Hao shouted, and the Eighth Route Army really did attack.

"Boom, boom, boom" The Japanese camp was filled with explosions.

Hu Hao grabbed the machine gun he had taken from the Japanese and started firing.

"Watch out, the Eighth Route Army is wearing our clothes, everyone be careful," Hu Hao shouted again.

The camp was in chaos. Many Japanese died as soon as they came out of the tents, and with Hu Hao's loud shouting, the Japanese didn't know how many Eighth Route Army soldiers had come, and they even heard that they were wearing their own clothes.

"Bastards, everyone be careful," a Japanese officer shouted.

"Bang" Hu Hao shot the Japanese officer and immediately changed his position.

"Fire, over there," a Japanese soldier saw the gun flash and shouted.

"Bang, bang" The Japanese in Hu Hao's direction suffered.

"Bastards, the Eighth Route Army is in that direction, fire!" the Japanese soldiers shouted.

Hu Hao lay on the ground and saw that the Japanese on both sides were shooting at each other. He set up the machine gun and started firing at the opposite side.

More and more Japanese joined the battle, and Hu Hao continued to stir up trouble. He fired a few shots in one direction, and the Japanese immediately responded, firing back in his direction. The Japanese on his side immediately retaliated.

Fire a shot and change position, Hu Hao continued to cause chaos in the Japanese camp.

"What's going on, what's happening outside?" Tofu Yuanxianji woke up and asked when he heard the intense gunfire.

"General, General, the Eighth Route Army is attacking the camp. Our soldiers are fighting back. Please rest assured, the battle will end soon," a major said.

"Good, order the soldiers to fight the Eighth Route Army fiercely," Tofu Yuanxianji said.

Outside, it was a mess. The Japanese no longer trusted each other. They shot anyone who wasn't behind them, regardless of whether they were the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese. The Japanese were good shots; wherever there was movement, the Japanese would shoot first, and that direction would immediately quiet down.

Hu Hao fired in different directions, a few shots here, a few shots there. The Japanese were fighting and shooting in all directions. The Japanese tents caught fire but were quickly extinguished by the snow. The entire Japanese camp was pitch black except for the light from the grenades being thrown.

"What's going on, what's happening with the Japanese?" Zhang Tuanzhang was awakened by the explosions outside, and the political commissar and the chief of staff were observing from the small window in the command post.

"Tuanzhang, we don't know what's happening. The Japanese are fighting, and we haven't received any telegrams about other units attacking the Japanese tonight," the political commissar turned around and walked to Zhang Tuanzhang's side when he heard his voice.

"Hmm? Are the Japanese fighting fiercely?" Zhang Tuanzhang asked.

"Very fiercely, it has been going on for almost two hours. The gunfire is much quieter now," the political commissar said.

"Help me up, I want to see what's happening!" Zhang Tuanzhang shouted. The political commissar carefully helped him up and supported him to the observation window.

"Did you see anything?" Zhang Tuanzhang asked the political commissar.

"Nothing, it's very strange. The Japanese are in chaos, fighting each other. Without a division, it's impossible for the Japanese to make such a big commotion. And the noise is much quieter now," the chief of staff said.

Zhang Tuanzhang carefully observed the situation outside and was puzzled. "Old Wang, send a telegram to the division headquarters to find out which unit is attacking the Japanese camp so we can assist."

"Tuanzhang has already sent it. Commander Chen said they didn't receive any information about friendly forces attacking the camp tonight, and there are no other units around us except our own," the political commissar said.

"Then it's damn strange," Zhang Tuanzhang was puzzled. "Could it be a mutiny?"

"A mutiny!" "A mutiny!"

"Yes, it's a mutiny. Quickly, gather the soldiers, and those who can run, arm them with bayonets and bring the light machine guns," Zhang Tuanzhang immediately ordered.

"Old Li, you lead the team down. Tell the soldiers to keep quiet and just kill when they reach the Japanese camp," Zhang Tuanzhang instructed.

"Okay, I'll go right away," Li Zhudong immediately left.

Zhang Tuanzhang couldn't figure out why the Japanese would mutiny. It didn't make sense!

Zhang Tuanzhang looked around and noticed that the second fool's blanket was where he had just slept. "Where's the second fool? Where did he go?"

"Oh, right, at 11 o'clock, he said he was going to take a shit, and then the Japanese camp started to get noisy. Could it be the second fool?" the political commissar asked uncertainly.

"Who else could it be, that damn kid!" Zhang Tuanzhang didn't know what to say. He knew why the second fool did this.

"This kid..." Zhang Tuanzhang was still a bit worried about the second fool. After all, in a mutiny, bullets fly everywhere, and many generals in ancient times were killed in such situations.
