Chapter 57: Arrogance (II)
"It's not! I mean, do you remember the last time the mountain king said that he was going to kill two people, one was Kato, and the other seemed to be this Ishida Takeo! Zhang Guangzu thought about it carefully and said.
"Hmmm! It seems that there is such a thing! What's the use of saying this now? ”
Xiao Zhenbei didn't understand what Zhang Guangzu meant for a while, but he did remember that he had a relationship with Zhuang Quan, at least, his impression of this mountain king was not bad!
"I'm thinking, it would be nice if I could fight in the county seat, even if it was in Fangtong Town, so that at least it could attract Ishida's attention! Otherwise, after this kid has participated in the celebration banquet, he will not come back and attack us even more crazy? If you can't retreat anymore, if you retreat again, the medical center behind you will be forced to relocate, and that will involve hundreds of wounded! Zhang Guangzu said with some worry.
"Yes! There is still food hidden in the back of the first battalion, and it will be even more troublesome to carry it! So I can only hold on! "Xiao Zhenbei is most worried about the lack of ammunition now, and the casualties are too large, and the three battalions now have a total of only more than 500 people.
"No, positional warfare is not our strong point, we have to set up an ambush for Ishida on the way back!" Zhang Guangzu groaned.
"Report! A company commander they are back! The correspondent reported.
"Call him in!" Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu glanced at each other, hoping that the company commander could bring back some good news this time!
"Report! Ishida had already returned to Yellow Flag Town last night! "I didn't expect the first news to make Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu raise their hearts, and it seems that the battle is about to start again! Now is the time for Ishida to go crazy!
"Humph! What else is the news? Let's talk about it first! Xiao Zhenbei said a little unhappily.
"Yes! There are a few pieces of information that I am not sure about......" the company commander said with some slurring.
"Say! Say it and we'll judge! "Xiao Zhenbei is in urgent need of some favorable information now!
"Yes! I saw the bandit surnamed Chen last time in the county seat! But not for sure! I saw that he seemed to be probing Kato's arsenal......," the company commander reported loudly after standing up.
"And then?" Xiao Zhenbei's heart suddenly perked, and he and Zhang Guangzu looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Later...... It's like he lost it, he seemed to find out that we were paying attention to him, so he entered a big restaurant, we didn't have enough money, so we could only wait outside, and then ......" The first company commander said that he was also very aggrieved, a bandit entered the restaurant at every turn, and these soldiers of his own couldn't even eat a full meal, even when they arrived in the county seat, they just bought some cheapest baked cakes and baked sweet potatoes and the like.
"Alas! I don't blame you guys, what else is uncertain? Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu were a little excited, if there were a few more pieces of such news, there would be a chance that it would be true news, but these inaccurate news would be more uplifting than those news that had been implemented!
"Comrade Chu Ying, who was sent to Fangtong Town to carry out work behind enemy lines, also sent the first batch of news......" the commander of the first company also said with some excitement.
"Oh? So fast, it seems that Comrade Chu Ying's efficiency is still quite high! Zhang Guangzu said with some surprise that sending Chu Ying to Fangtong Town was recommended by Zhang Guangzu.
"That's all she has to say!" Lian Zhang handed over a letter to Xiao Zhenbei.
After reading the letter, Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu both couldn't sit still, although they were not very sure of the news, but it was still very useful:
First, at least certainly, a batch of weapons fell into the hands of these mountain kings.
Second, Heifengling and the devils have already fought a battle, and the devils have not been able to eliminate this gang of bandits, which shows that the team of these bandits is also an anti-Japanese team that cannot be underestimated.
Third, now the situation in Fangtong Town is complicated, and several new groups of bandits have appeared, among these bandits, Zhuang Quan is the most mysterious, and Li Dashan and Sheng Jiu have gone to worship the mountain, and it seems that the deterrent effect of this Zhuang Quan is still very strong.
Fourth, it is more intriguing, Sheng Jiu also sent someone to the county seat to inquire about what news, could it be that he also took a fancy to the enemy's arsenal?
"I have to go to Fangtong Town overnight to meet this little boss!" Xiao Zhenbei felt that this was a very good opportunity, and it was possible to defuse Ishida's offensive plan!
"You're going in person? What about three or four hours of running over the mountain? Besides, you don't know if people see it? I'll go for it! Zhang Guangzu also intuitively felt that this was a good opportunity, maybe Zhuang Quan and they were brewing some big moves!
"No! I'm just not sure, I'm not at ease! Besides, even if the news is not confirmed, I will try to pull him into our camp, and at worst borrow that sniper rifle! As soon as you change into civilian clothes, you can change into civilian clothes and call me the pony, he is more familiar with the mountain roads here. Xiao Zhenbei said whimsically.
……
At this time, Jianmao Mountain was also busy discussing, and it was more than nine o'clock in the evening. Zhou Tong and Chen Dong both rushed back, and the news that the two inquired about was similar, but Zhou Tong's news was more detailed. Anyway, now Zhou Tong is used to coming here, so it's good to eat and drink here! , that Shan Erhu is very hospitable, and every time he is a good hospitality with good wine and meat, so Zhou Tong can't help but swallow his saliva when he arrives!
"Tomorrow? Lunch, two trucks, four motorcycles, two classes of devils? What do you guys say? Zhuang Quan repeatedly muttered the news sent back by Zhou Tong, the enemy was really trusted, so he sent two classes of devils to escort him, of course, the proximity is also a reason.
"Our boss will send ten people to ambush in advance, and I will go too!" Zhou Tong replied, it seems that Sheng Jiu still doesn't want to come out.
"Okay, I got it! ……”
Zhuang Quan was about to discuss the specific time and place with Zhou Tong, when suddenly two dogs outside the cave barked wildly. The sentry outside also shouted, "Who is it? Don't go any further, or you'll shoot! At the same time, Shan Erhu also rushed out, and a sniper rifle was already aimed at the comer, and at this time it was still about one hundred and fifty meters away.
"Brother Zhuang! I've come to visit old Short, is that how you treat you? Xiao Zhenbei under the mountain shouted at the mountain with a smile.
"Why is he here? Well, put down the drawbridge, please! Zhuang Quan was a little surprised and ordered Shan Erhu. Then there was a warning: "Oh, by the way, prepare some more food, poor relatives come to the door, and the quasi-guarantee is to keep the stomach!" ”
If Zhuang Quan was a little surprised, then after Xiao Zhenbei entered the cave, he was shocked, the high and low beds in the cave were all stacked like tofu cubes of boxy quilts, and each team member was equipped with a unified long and short two guns, and they looked very organized and disciplined. The conditions of these bandits are also too good, it is estimated that they did it to rob the devil's armory, Xiao Zhenbei secretly estimated in his heart, and when he saw the mortars, heavy machine guns, shells and grenades in a cave inside, Xiao Zhenbei knew that this trip was right, and he had to take some back to say anything, the only regret was that he seemed to have brought too little strong labor!
When he saw the wine, meat and rice on the table, Xiao Zhenbei regretted it even more, he was quite good at bringing all the men and horses from a battalion, this was simply to make up for the Spring Festival for himself!
"Having friends from afar?" Xiao Zhenbei is quite good at making an opening statement.
"I'm not happy, are you happy? Anyway, the way I look at you is much more professional than that of bandits! I estimate that the first bandit in Fangtong Town who was robbed by the Eighth Route Army was about to be born! Zhuang Quan said with a smile.
"Huh? You...... Are you eight-way? Zhou Tong was taken aback when he heard this, and his head was a little unfavorable, it was still far from Sheng Jiulai!
"Huh! Big boss, I really admire you, make a cottage like a military camp, I'm afraid you're the richest boss in these mountains, right? Xiao Zhenbei praised with a sigh.
"Come on! Cheers first! Then grab a bite to eat! If you come to me and you're full, you'll look down on me! Don't give me a chance to do the friendship of the landlord! Zhuang Quan said with a smile.
"! I love to hear this, it's so kind! Xiao Zhenbei shouted happily.
"Please!" Zhuang Quan also smiled and gestured to the company commander and the pony!
I heard that the other party was the Eighth Route Army, Wei Baobao and Yan Xiaofu also rushed over from the top of the mountain, and deliberately took a look at the Eighth Route Army that they had admired for a long time, but it was far worse than what they saw on TV.
Since Xiao Zhenbei sat up, Zhou Tong and Chen Dong haven't moved their chopsticks much, and they can't keep up with the speed, the battalion commanders are like this, and their subordinates are even more unscrupulous, so they see that the wine and meat on the table are almost swept away.
Immediately, irrelevant people were driven out of the cave, leaving Zhuang Quan and Xiao Zhenbei, as well as Zhou Tong and Chen Dong and the first company commander.
"Boss! You're not going to work with the Eighth Route Army, are you? Zhou Tong asked cautiously.
"I've always worked with Hachilu!" Zhuang Quan said lightly.
"Huh! You're Sheng Jiu's Imperial Cooperative Army, right? Your Captain Sheng is now covering the sky with one hand in Fangtong Town! Xiao Zhenbei asked with a smile, because Zhou Tong was still wearing the costume of the Imperial Army.
"Yes! Sir! I'm the squad leader under Captain Sheng, my name is Zhou Tong! "Zhou Tong is very disciplined and righteous.
"You're welcome, your Captain Sheng is also a brave man!" Xiao Zhenbei nodded and said.
"Camp Commander Xiao! How many shells do you still have in your hands? Zhuang Quan stood up at this time, walked up to the mortar and patted him lightly and asked.
"It's long gone! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly! Now even the mortars are left with only two is good! It's been really aggrieved for a while, the little devil is very arrogant with enough ammunition! Xiao Zhenbei said very regretfully.
"How! Let's be arrogant tomorrow too? Shoot the cannonballs back at Ishida's nest? ”
"What do you say? ……”
A tone of ecstasy followed!
