The day after Qin Tian arrived in Ningcheng, Hatta Hiroki received a secret report that traces of the anti-union guerrillas had been found near Wuxia Village.

So Hatta immediately sent people out to reconnoiter and obtained accurate information, confirming that the anti-union guerrillas are now recuperating from their wounds in Wuxia Village.

"Wuxia Village! Old Zephyr! Yaga! This time I'm going to destroy your cottage! Hatta Hiroki still has a good idea of the anti-Japanese forces around him, and he thinks that the anti-Japanese guerrillas will not exceed 100 at most! In addition, there are more than 300 people at most in Wuxia Village, so two squadrons and one battalion of puppet Manchu troops were immediately mobilized to encircle and suppress Wuxia Village, because the purpose was to clear and suppress, so this force was not much.

It will take a day to get from Ningcheng to Wuxia Village at the earliest, and when Hatta Hiroki and his team entered the mountains in the middle of the night, he suddenly received a telegram from his headquarters, saying that a group of bandits claiming to be Qunyingzhai had just stolen five trucks and some weapons, ammunition, and food to break out of the city.

"Qunyingzhai!?" Hatta Hiroki has a headache with this cottage, not because there are many of them, but because Tang Long has a great appeal, as long as he raises his arms, all the bandits around him will respond.

"Chief Hatta! What a movement in Qunyingzhai for two years, this sudden descent down the mountain is a bit strange! Cai Youde, the commander of the puppet army battalion, said.

"What's the odd thing?"

"As far as I know, Tang Long hasn't moved in the past two years because he is injured and has been recuperating! This sudden downhill is such a big move, I think there are two situations! ”

"What two cases! Say it! ”

"First! It's that Tang Long is dead, and now Qunying Village is Qin Hu or Dafeng in charge, because Tang Long was injured in the battle with the imperial army, so their sudden action this time may be revenge! ”

"And the second?"

"The second is that Tang Long's injury is healed! Because they haven't been active for more than two years, they have run out of ammunition and food when they want to come to the cottage, so they will go down the mountain to snatch the arms and food of the imperial army! Because they have no one else to rob! ”

"Qunying Village! Yaga! Do you know how many of them there are? Hiroki Hatta asked,

"Two years ago, there were about a hundred and ten people, but even now there aren't many of them, but they are all outlaws with strong strength!"

"Yaga! They are also Chinese! You are also Chinese! Why is there such a big difference!? Hatta Hiroki also looked down on these Manchurian troops in his heart, and almost all of them were a bunch of rubbish who followed him.

"Chief Hatta! We are very different from them, but we are loyal to the Japanese Empire! Cai Youde said,

"What a nuisance!" Hiroki Hatta thought for a while and said to squadron leader Yuichi Nakamura: "Nakamura! You take a squadron and Battalion Commander Cai to continue to clear out Wuxia Village and the Anti-Union guerrillas! I immediately rushed back with someone! ”

In the middle of the night, Hatta Hiroki led a squadron to run again, and when it was almost noon, they finally rushed back to Ningcheng, and when they returned to the headquarters, they found more than 20 corpses covered with white cloth in the courtyard.

Hiroki Hatta saw the squadron leader Hidenari Uemura who was left behind and asked, "What the hell happened?" ”

"Report Shaozo! According to the judgment of the scene, three trucks came to the headquarters in the middle of the night last night, and the guards saw that the cars were hung with the flag of our Great Japanese Empire and waited for them to arrive at the door, but before they could be questioned, the people in the car suddenly attacked the killer and killed the eight soldiers guarding the gate almost instantly! They killed the patrol team in the yard and drove the car directly to the arsenal, killing the guards there silently, and then quickly loaded the car with some weapons and ammunition, because there was still food in the quartermaster depot, and they also took it. ”

"Yaga! Say it in such detail! Why don't you request support right away!? ”

"It was the middle of the night, the guards and the patrol squad were killed silently, and when the car drove to the city gate, they realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to intercept them, because some of them were ambushed near the city gate in advance, and as soon as the car arrived, the people who were in ambush suddenly came out, and the defenders of a small detachment at the city gate were all killed with only one shot! By the time we chased out of the city gates, the five cars had already left the city and were nowhere to be seen! ”

"Five cars!?" Hiroki Hatta asked,

"Yes! They drove two more from the command! ”

"Yaga! How do you know it's someone from Qunyingzhai!? ”

"Captain! Here's a thank you note they left behind! ”

"Thank you note!?" Hatta Hiroki was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, grabbed something and left a thank you note, which was also too annoying.

Hatta Hiroki took the letter and looked at it, and there were really some words of thanks, and the last signature was Tang Long, the big boss of Qunying Village! Hatta scolded again: "Yaga! Tang Long! You bastard! ”

"Captain! We've checked three trucks, and it's Shuntaro Yanagida! I heard that some of them were injured too! Uemura said,

"Shuntaro Yanagida! Is he okay now? ”

"He's fine, Naruto Ogawa seems to have been injured while protecting the car! It doesn't seem to be a big deal! ”

"Go and get Mr. Yanagida to me immediately!"

"Hey!"

Hatta Hiroki did not enter the headquarters, and immediately gave an order to the Manchurian Army, which had a battalion of the squadron defending the city, to follow the wheel tracks.

As soon as Hatta Hiroki entered the office, Qin Tian hurriedly ran over: "Hatta-kun! You're back! ”

"Yanagida-kun! You okay? ”

"I'm fine! What the hell is going on, how can anyone in the city still dare to steal our car! Qin Tian pretended not to know what was going on at the headquarters and asked,

"It's the bandits around the area! Yanagida-kun don't worry! Sooner or later, they will be exterminated by our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

"That's for sure! What about my car! Can it be recovered? ”

"Yanagida-kun! I've sent an army to chase after me! I'm sure your car will be recovered! ”

"There's a lot of stuff in the car!"

"Oh! What's in it? ”

"I've been shopping for some supplies in the city in the past two days, it's really hateful!" Qin Tian purchased some herbs and grains, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not purchase more.

"Yanagida-kun go back first! I have a lot of things to deal with here! I'll send someone to inform you when the car finds it! ”

"Good! Then please! After Qin Tian finished speaking, he left quickly.

"It's really time for this Juntaro Yanagida to come!" Squadron Leader Takamura Daiyo said,

"Takamura! What do you want to say? ”

"Captain! As soon as this Yanagida Shuntaro came, the people from Qunying Village also arrived, and they also went to rob their cars to transport things, and I heard that the carriages of those three cars were bulletproof! That's why the bandits left so easily and smoothly! ”

Hiroki Hatta thought for a moment and shook his head and asked, "Takamura!" Do you suspect that Yanagida and Qunyingzhai are colluding? ”

"I didn't mean that! I just thought they were too coincidental! ”

"It's just their bad luck! Besides, they're from Tianjin! How can it be related to Qunyingzhai! ”

"Yes! What the captain said made sense, and it made sense after thinking about it. "Qunyingzhai has not moved for more than two years.

Hatta Hiroki listened to the reports from all sides, this time Qunyingzhai attacked Ningcheng, and twenty-seven soldiers died, and there were no wounded! In other words, everything they saw was killed! The looted munitions and food were also counted, eight light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, twenty grenadiers, twenty boxes of grenades, other rifles, grenades, bullets, etc., together enough to equip two squadrons! The grain was basically emptied, and it was two months' rations for the Hatta brigade!

"Yaga!" Hiroki Hatta slapped the table angrily,

"Captain! Should we ask for support? Takamura asked,

"What support do you ask for! There are less than 100 people in Qunying Village! We have a brigade of troops here, plus a regiment of the Manchurian Army, how can I have the face to ask for support! ”

"But our rations have been robbed, what next?"

"You can't ask for this from the division! Let's figure it out for yourself! ”

In the afternoon, the Nakamura squadron also sent a telegram that they had arrived at Wuxia Village, but there was no one in the village, and what was even more strange was that almost all the things in the cottage had been emptied.

Hatta Hiroki ordered them to continue the investigation to see where Wuxia Village and the anti-union guerrillas could escape.

The next day, the squadron that went out to chase the trucks sent a telegram saying that all five trucks had been found, but there was nothing on them! From the footprints left in the snow, it can be seen that things were taken away by bandits with snow climbing plows.

Just when Hatta Hiroki was stomping his feet and jumping high, the Nakamura squadron sent a telegram that they had now joined up with the Kamimura squadron, and the Wuxia Village and the anti-union guerrillas seemed to be looking for Qunying Village.

Because the supplies brought by the army were not enough to continue to advance, Hatta Hiroki was in a hurry and had no choice but to let all the troops come back.

At this time, Hatta Hiroki was really a little confused, because he couldn't figure out what was going on, and when he was at a loss, Yanagida Shuntaro asked to see him, saying that he brought a heavy gift to thank him for helping him get back the three cars.

"Hatta-kun! Thank you so much! I don't know how to proceed without these three cars! Qin Tian bowed and thanked,

"Yanagida-kun doesn't have to be so polite! Here's what we should do! ”

"Hatta-kun! I heard that the bandits stole your rations? Qin Tian asked,

"Yes! All snatched up! ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do, I can only figure it out by myself!"

"What can Hatta-kun do?"

"What else can be done to snatch it from the Chinese!" Hatta Hiroki definitely can't let his soldiers go hungry, what can he do in this ice and snow, he can only rob the Chinese people.

Qin Tian hurriedly persuaded: "Hatta-kun! Although there are bandits around here, I see that the people of Ningcheng are still very supportive of the imperial army, and if you snatch food from their mouths now, it will definitely cause turmoil! It's not good for your precinct at all! ”

"So what do you say?"
