Chapter 18
But Qiu Hengshui also knew that this time the situation was urgent, and he had to rob the medicinal materials for the soldiers to recuperate, so he took the risk. Qin Ruiming also planned carefully with Qiu Hengshui, and ambushed in the winding mountain road of Boshan. First, they chose to be in Boshan to avoid local suspicion; the second is to ambush on the mountain road, one at both ends, it can be said that it is difficult to fly, Qiu Hengshui and Qin Ruiming's plan is not to stay; In addition, Qin Ruiming drunk them during the day and let them set off drunk, which increased the chance of success.
But people are not as good as heaven, this move can be said to be seamless, or let Zhang Baoshan roll down the cliff at the risk of falling to death, and accidentally pick up a life.
Qin Ruiming knew that Zhang Baoshan was extremely flustered at this time, so he didn't suspect himself, if he calmed down after going back, and thought carefully about the causes and consequences, especially when he drunk him in the wine shop, and asked him to tell the time and route of his actions, he would suspect himself when he was asked by the guerrilla scout wearing a straw hat.
But the matter has come to this point, Qin Ruiming had no choice but to take one step at a time, help him into the house, heal him, and then send someone to inform his brother Zhang Baoxing.
Zhang Baoshan is really fateful, so he rolled down from the mountain, and he just wrote about skin injuries and some fright, and he was fine after a few days.
The fact that the Japanese medicinal herbs had been snatched away was also quickly reported to the Boshui garrison, and Suzuki was already extremely angry, he was sure that it was the guerrillas who attacked the train a few days ago who did it, otherwise, they would not have repaired it without repairing it in the case of such casualties, and they would have shot it twice, it must have been for the sake of this medicinal herb, and it was to be used to treat injuries.
Based on the location of the ambush, Suzuki drew a circle on the map, and he concluded that this circle was where the guerrillas were stationed. Because according to the whole process, judging from Zhang Baoshan's explanation, it must have been the day they came to the Qin family to leak the information, in such a short period of time. Feel that the established ambush location can only be the location in this circle to have enough time.
In view of this judgment, Suzuki immediately sent three brigades of people into the mountain to sweep, and Zhang Baoshan was only slightly injured. But with a grudge, he immediately sent his troops into the mountains with the imperial army to search for the Eighth Route Army.
Suzuki also calculated that the Eighth Route Army would not be transferred immediately, because in the previous battle, the Eighth Route Army also suffered a lot of casualties, so after the looting of medicinal materials. After all, he was recuperating from his injuries in the original station, so he searched endlessly for several days in this area of more than ten miles.
On this day, Suzuki personally led the team into the mountains to search, and when he walked to the Daixi River, the troops also felt thirsty and hungry, and coincidentally, he saw Xiyu Village in front of him, he was a person who led the troops, and the first feeling of seeing the mountains and rivers was not the artistic conception of the scenery. Rather, it is the tactical configuration of offense and defense, which is a typical military thinking.
Suzuki looked at the architectural pattern of Xiyu Village, as if it was a one-man pass, and couldn't help but sigh at this terrain, as long as the name of the village was armed, even if it was a wing, plus heavy firepower weapons, it would not take any advantage.
Just when he was so contemplative, the staff officer next to him suddenly said, "Mr. Osa." Would you like to go in and check it out? ”
Suzuki didn't want to go in, but this place Inoue Sawakawa had already sued him, and it was just an ordinary village, and he didn't usually resist the imperial army. But as soon as the staff officer said this, the suspicious Suzuki immediately felt that there was something strange about this Xiyu Village?
So Suzuki ordered to search the village, Xiyu Village used to be a cottage where the Boxers occupied the mountain as the king, and after the Republic of China, it was rebuilt into a village. But it still has its own armament. The guards at the entrance of the village saw a large number of devils coming, so they immediately reported to the patriarch Qiu Hengshui, Qiu Hengshui felt bad, so he hurriedly transferred the wounded in each family to the cave on the south slope of the mountain, and went down the mountain to meet the Japanese soldiers.
When Suzuki saw Qiu Hengshui, he felt that this person was extraordinary, so he said, "Dare to ask if Your Excellency is the patriarch of Xiyu Village?" ”
After listening to the translation, Qiu Hengshui replied: "Lord Hui Huangjun is a villain. ”
Suzuki pointed to the entire village and said, "Your Excellency's village is really well located, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
Qiu Hengshui replied: "This is the ancestors of the villain who fought against the Qing court back then, and finally fell here, and then became the current Xiyu Village." ”
Suzuki smiled and said, "I see. ”
At this time, the devil's team had already entered the village, and Suzuki saw that Qiu Hengshui was a good man, so he asked the soldiers not to be random Jingdong villagers, but when Suzuki saw the cave on the hillside, he asked Qiu Hengshui: "Your Excellency, what is the cave in the south for?" ”
Qiu Hengshui said frankly: "This Xiyu Village is a cottage, and the south was also a part of the cottage back then, but after the surrender to the Republic of China, it is no longer a cottage, and the south does not see sunlight all year round, and the cave is abandoned, and now it has become a tomb for us to bury the dead." ”
Suzuki had a lot of respect for the gods, so he didn't want to go to the gods.
Qiu Hengshui immediately asked the villagers to take out dry food and drinking water to reward the devils, and they were full of food and drink before these devils left.
After going down the mountain, the staff officer asked Suzuki if he had any discoveries, and Suzuki said: "Qiu Hengshui is a powerful person, but I didn't find anything unusual. After all, they have their own armed forces in their own village, and to say that they are the Eighth Road has no real evidence. ”
After Zhang Baoshan was robbed, he picked up a life, and he hated Balu to the core, so he chased him every day, and he came to his brother's house to rest on this day, Zhang Baoxing called him alone to his room, and said:
"Brother, are you okay these days?"
Zhang Baoshang cried: "Brother, my brother almost won't see you again." ”
Zhang Baoxing was also a conscientious person, he knew that Balu was fighting Japanese devils, but after listening to his younger brother's story, he couldn't help but be cold, but he didn't expect Balu to be ruthless and leave no one alive, even if it was a puppet army, wasn't it just to eat and have a safe family? After snatching the medicinal herbs, why hurry up and kill them? “
But when Zhang Baoxing thought of this, he suddenly understood, and he solemnly said to his younger brother: "Brother, let me ask you, do you know all the big families in ten miles and eight towns?" Especially those landlords who have a few guns to guard their homes? ”
Zhang Baoshan didn't expect his brother to suddenly ask about this, so he said: "No, the landlord with a gun, Qiu Hengshui in the Western Regions is a family!" ”
Zhang Baoxing hurriedly said: "Ah, think about it, why did the Eighth Route Army rush to kill all the medicinal materials? ”
Zhang Baoshan smiled bitterly: "Brother, we are the kind of traitors that the people say, who will we kill if they don't kill us?" ”
Zhang Baoxing shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong, although the Eighth Road is to kill devils and eliminate traitors, they don't do a loss-making business." There are a lot of people you brought with you, it stands to reason that this battle of trapped beasts is not easy to provoke, but they rushed down the mountain without their lives, then they will have casualties, they will not fight so hard, if that is the case, the Eighth Route Army would have been lost. There is only one reason why they are doing this to you, and that is to kill you! ”
Zhang Baoshan's face was suspicious and puzzled, Zhang Baoxing continued to explain: "Then why do they want to kill you and kill you? Brother, think about it. ”
Zhang Baoshan suddenly realized and said: "You mean that some of them I know, they don't seem to expose themselves!" ”
Zhang Baoshan continued: "Then according to what you say, when I come back, Qin Ruiming still knows me if this guy is still for me, I think he seems to be with the Eighth Road!" No wonder he drunk our brethren when he set out! ”
Zhang Baoxing listened to Qin Ruiming and his younger brother have such a paragraph, and couldn't help but be even more shocked, he already understood that Qin Ruiming was colluding with the Eight Roads, and it stands to reason that he is willing to do this, but since he has harmed the Zhang family, Zhang Baoxing feels that the Qin family also wants to kill people with a knife to avenge his grandfather's revenge against his mother.
When Zhang Baoxing thought of this, he also understood that now he and the Qin family were actually incompatible, so he also said to his younger brother:
"Brother, you have to be careful in the future, Qin Ruiming and Qiu Hengshui will still deal with you."
Zhang Baoshan said: "I told the Japanese about it now. ”
Zhang Baoxing hurriedly drank and said, "Absolutely not! ”
Zhang Baoshan was a little puzzled, and said: "What's the matter, let the Japanese teach him a lesson, doesn't it save our brothers from busy?" ”
Zhang Baoxing shook his head and said, "Brother, don't you think things through?" Why do the Japanese believe you, do you have any real evidence, and do you rely on your speculation? The Japanese may still think that you see that the Qin family is prosperous and deliberately sow discord! ”
Zhang Baoshan was speechless, thinking that his brother still thought comprehensively, so he turned his mind and said to his brother:
"Brother, you see if this will work, if he Qiu Hengshui is the eighth road, then Xiyu Village must be their base. I see, Ming'er took people to search near Xiyu Village, and these imperial troops have also been searching, but I pretended to search in the name of the Eight Roads, looking for medicine residues near their village, foreign medicines are not easy to find, but internal medicine always has to be boiled, and they are calculated to make powder, but if you look carefully, you can still find these medicine residues. ”
Zhang Baoxing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised his younger brother: "Your method is good, but also thanks to our Zhang family is from the inverted medicinal materials, Suzuki and Inoue will not think of this hand even if they want to break their heads, and Qin Ruiming and Qiu Hengshui are also cautious people, but he feels that their Seven Spirit Flower Scatter has almost no medicine slag, so he will be unguarded, this time he will definitely be able to find evidence, and when the time comes, they will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
Zhang Baoshan was overjoyed, especially when he heard his brother praise his method for being good, and said that he would hide Qin Ruiming and Qiu Hengshui from him, he was even more proud, but Zhang Baoxing saw that his younger brother was like this, and he also instructed:
"Don't get carried away, you can't talk to anyone about this method until you find the evidence, otherwise the news will leak out, and the evidence will be destroyed by them, and it will be over!" (To be continued.) )
