"We can provide Brigadier Tang with absolutely reliable information." Yamaguchi Yeming couldn't help but laugh when he saw Tang Bingquan's expression that seemed interested: "Brigade Commander Tang, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, why refuse to cooperate with us Japanese?" ”

"I'm sorry, I, Tang Bingquan, dare to do anything, but I don't dare to be a traitor, and I will send people away." Tang Bingquan didn't know that the Japanese wanted to use intelligence to cooperate with him.

If he agrees to cooperate with the Japanese, and this is a critical period of anti-Japanese resistance, won't he Tang Bingquan become a traitor and lackey?

Even if the Japanese intelligence is very useful, Tang Bingquan still doesn't dare to cooperate or listen, he needs to cherish his feathers and not be scolded as a traitor by the Chinese.

"Is Brigade Commander Tang really not thinking about it?" Yamaguchi Yeming didn't expect Tang Bingquan to suddenly change his attitude.

"No need, it's my responsibility to exterminate the communist bandits, and I have nothing to do with you Japanese, and I advise you Japanese, it's best to withdraw from China, meet you on the battlefield, and I, Tang, will definitely kill you." Tang Bingquan stared, if he could, he really wanted to shoot the two of them at this time.

"Hehe, then we will leave, I hope that Brigade Commander Tang will go well." Yamaguchi Yeming said in response, then turned to leave Tang Bingquan's living room.

The Japanese went out to the door and saw a young officer, then just smiled and left.

"Brigade." The young officer was none other than Liu Zhihui.

"Zhihui, you're so good." Tang Bingquan saw Liu Zhihui let him in.

"Traveler, what are the Japanese looking for you?" Liu Zhihui couldn't help but ask curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese want to cooperate with us and annihilate the bandits in Hutou Mountain." Tang Bingquan said in response.

"Did the brigade say yes?" Liu Zhihui asked.

"Do you think I can say yes? Now, although Shangfeng has issued an order for us to exterminate the communist bandits, we cannot cooperate with the Japanese, and if we cooperate, will we not be scolded as traitors? ”

"What the brigade said is that we must not cooperate with the Japanese, and this is also a critical period of resistance against Japan."

"Yes, I, Tang Bingquan, are not stupid enough to be like that, and they Japanese just want to borrow my hand to help them annihilate the communist bandits."

"I heard that the Japanese have suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the communist bandits recently, not only their brigade commander Konoe Fumi, and the deputy brigade commander Mino were all killed by the communist bandits, but even the Laiyang County headquarters was burned down.

"Well, but the Hutou Mountain of the communist bandits is indeed a little difficult to beat."

"Please rest assured, Zhihui is willing to lead the whole battalion to take the lead in attacking Hutou Mountain."

"Okay, Zhihui has your words, I'm relieved, and we'll have a few more drinks when you come back."

"Okay, then Zhihui will go down first and prepare."

"Go, I'll listen to your triumph."

Liu Zhihui smiled and saluted, then turned around and left Tang Bingquan's living room.

Tang Bingquan really pinned his hopes on Liu Zhihui, because Liu Zhihui was his trump card battalion, and Tang Bingquan still believed in Liu Zhihui's ability to do things very much.

......

Hutou Mountain area.

The two companies under Liu Zhihui were following the guide into the mountain.

"Fellow, how long will it take to reach Hutou Mountain? We've all been walking for more than an hour and haven't arrived yet?. "A company commander wonders, does it take that long to go?

"See the mountain ahead? Climb over to Hutou Mountain, and then you can see the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army. The villager guide pointed to a mountain in front of him and said.

"Okay, please lead the way, fellow." The commander of the machine gun company replied.

Then the two companies continued to follow the guide into the mountains.

But another two hours passed.

The two companies of the national army were tired.

"Fellow, didn't you say you would get there after crossing that mountain? We've all been gone for so long, where is the Eighth Route Army hiding? The commander of the machine gun company asked in confusion.

"It's still ten minutes away, bear with me." The villager guide said in direct response.

"Okay, tell the people behind you to hurry up and keep up." The commander of the machine gun company shouted.

Continue to follow the villager guide.

The two companies followed the villagers' guide for another half an hour.

"Hey, the company commander's guide is gone."

"He's not going to get lost, is he?"

The two soldiers did not see the guide, which was indeed bad news for them, and there was no one to lead the way, and they did not know where to go.

"Mahler, we have been tricked, we have been misled into the mountains." Wang Tian, the commander of the machine gun company, said with a frown.

"Company commander, what should we do then?" The soldiers at the bottom are also worried.

"Don't be afraid, be vigilant immediately, and inform the people behind to follow quickly, so that you can't be left behind." Wang Tian hurriedly ordered the soldiers to urge the team behind.

"Yes, company commander." The soldier hurriedly ran back.

But...... What about people?

Where did it go?

The soldier was also confused, the people behind him should be lost, right?

"Report, company commander, I didn't see anyone behind, they probably got lost." The soldier went back and reluctantly reported to Company Commander Wang Tian.

"What? No one behind? Wang Tian also asked with a confused expression.

"Yes, they are probably lost, I believe they will be able to catch up with us soon!" The soldier said in direct response.

"Okay, order the troops, rest in place for ten minutes and wait for them." Wang Tian could only order the team to rest in place and wait for the follow-up troops to continue to advance.

But...... Ten minutes passed.

Not a single soldier was seen in the rear.

What about people?

Why don't you see anyone?

"Company commander, shall we continue to wait?" The soldiers also began to be a little scared, after all, now they only have the strength of a platoon, what if they really encounter the enemy?

"Made, what are those guys doing? Can you get lost? Wang Tian was very dissatisfied.

"Company commander, what should we do then?" The soldier looked at Wang Tiandi and asked.

"Moving on, we must find the position of the bandits, and we must not retreat because of this matter." Wang Tian continued to order the troops to advance.

But Wang Tian's team became smaller and smaller.

All of a sudden, there was only one platoon or so left to follow Wang Tian's side.

Now Wang Tian also feels that it is becoming more and more eerie and terrifying.

There are so many fewer people at once.

And they're not aware at all.

"Signal soldier, contact the camp immediately, and say that we are lost in the mountains." Wang Tian asked the communications corps to quickly contact the battalion commander Liu Zhihui.

"Report, company commander, I can't be contacted, and I can't call at all." The communications corps hastened to respond.

"What? Can't get in touch? Why? Wang Tian was even more confused, he couldn't contact the camp?

"Yes, there's no signal here, and there's no way to contact the camp for instructions." The soldiers reported the situation to Wang Tian, and now there is no signal in the mountains.
