Chapter 15: The Trap!

Before dawn the next day, Liu Chengcheng quietly returned to the Feng Ji grain store.

After more than a month, Liu Cheng did not find any action by Ono Taro, and the formation of the gendarmerie was quietly completed, as if nothing had happened.

During this period, the entire Tohoku region also underwent tremendous changes.

On 9 March, the Japanese supported Pu Yi, the last emperor who had abdicated the throne, announced the restoration in Changchun, and established the "state of Manchukuo," with Pu Yi as the "ruling state," and included the entire three eastern provinces except Lushun and Dalian, as well as Qinhuangdao and Chengde in eastern Mongolia and Hebei, into the territory of "Manchukuo."

As for Liu Cheng, he finally got his wish and joined the first anti-Japanese armed ---- Panshi guerrilla force under the leadership of our party.

During this period, Zhang Zhenguo, Li Min and others actively mobilized the masses to publicize the importance of building anti-Japanese armed forces, held "cadre training courses," and recruited outstanding young people on the basis of the "dog-fighting squad," and the number of them rapidly increased to more than 30 people.

Due to his young age, Liu Cheng still stayed in Feng Ji Grain Store as an apprentice and secretly observed Ono Taro's movements.

In April, the snow melted, and ice rows ran on the river.

When dealing with Miki's corpse, Liu Cheng deliberately tied a few stones to prevent the corpse from floating.

But I didn't expect it, something happened.

As soon as the river opened, fishermen began to fish.

A fisherman was casting a net to catch fish when he inadvertently knocked Miki's body up.

Although the corpse had been severely deformed after a long period of soaking, and even some of the tissues had been eaten by the fish and shrimp in the river, Ono Taro recognized it as Miki at a glance.

If the body was not found, Ono could naturally act as if nothing had happened, but now that the body had been recovered, it was impossible for him to continue to pretend to be confused.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire Panshi County suddenly became tense.

Liu Cheng passed the news to Li Min as soon as possible, and asked them to prepare early.

Ono has not made any moves since the last big trouble, and Liu Chengcheng vaguely feels that something is wrong.

According to the Japanese way of doing things, it is impossible for them not to retaliate when something so big happens.

After Miki's body was found this time, Liu Cheng immediately realized that something was going to happen.

Indeed, Taro Ono was waiting for this opportunity.

During this time, Ono already had some information about the "dog fighting team" in his hands.

The reason why he hasn't done it is because the information is not detailed enough and he doesn't want to startle the snake, and on the other hand, because he doesn't want to take everyone away like last time and let people take the old nest again.

As soon as Miki's body was discovered, Ono immediately reported the incident to Nomura Takudasa, who was stationed in Jilin City.

At the same time, he asked Nomura to send reinforcements in order to annihilate the newly formed anti-Japanese forces in one fell swoop.

For several days, whenever Liu Cheng had the opportunity to go out, he would go around to the vicinity of the gendarmerie to observe the movements, but he never gained anything.

However, he knows in his heart that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the calmer it is at this time, the more it shows that the situation is turbulent, and once it breaks out, it will be a big move.

After receiving the information, Zhang Zhenguo attached great importance to it and immediately began to deploy a response plan.

Wuyang Village is only less than ten miles away from Panshi County, and there is not enough time to react in the event of a sudden incident.

They knew in their hearts that during this period of time, they were propagating and mobilizing the people everywhere, and it was impossible for Ono Taro not to be unaware.

Once he takes advantage of Miki's death to play, this newly formed team is in danger.

A week later, a Japanese army of nearly 100 people suddenly appeared in Panshi County, and after meeting with Ono, without any pause, went straight to Wuyang Village.

They found the courtyard where Li Min had been living, but they didn't find half a figure.

Ono was a little puzzled.

In his opinion, it is impossible for these Chinese people to guess their minds, let alone prepare in advance.

And the matter of asking Nomura for help, the entire gendarmerie except for himself, there is no second person who knows about it!

"Yaga!"

He angrily threw the white gloves on his hands to the ground, and led people back to Panshi County with a gloomy face.

At night, night once again envelops the land.

Ono sat in his office, slowly pouring the freshly boiled boiling water into the teapot, and looked at the rising white steam, and a smile appeared on his face.

A dark shadow reappeared in his office, walked up to him respectfully, and said:

"Your Excellency, those people just entered Jiming Mountain, forty kilometers away, an hour ago, and will spend the night there tonight."

Ono poured himself a cup of tea unhurriedly, leaned under his nose and sniffed it, and let out a soft "um".

The dark shadow hesitated for a moment, then spoke again:

"Your Excellency, do you think you should assemble the troops at once?"

Ono shook his head and waved his hand at the black shadow, who didn't say anything more and quietly retreated.

Putting down the teacup, Ono took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time, slowly leaning back into the chair and squinting his eyes.

In the middle of the night, Liu Cheng, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up from the kang and listened carefully to the movement outside with his ears in the dark.

Gradually, his face became unsightly.

Because he could hear it, it was the roar of the engine, and the number was between five and seven.

At that time, the Japanese had limited truck weight, and generally only one truck could carry 13 people in a detachment, and 5 to 7 trucks were 65 to 91 people.

At this time, the sound of trucks outside Panshi City appeared, and the only possibility was that it was for Zhang Zhenguo and them!

During the day, Ono pounced on the air, and soon after his return, the reinforcements left.

At that time, Liu Cheng deliberately secretly counted it, and there were ninety-one people in total.

It seems that these people did not really leave at all, but waited not far outside the city.

And more importantly, since Ono arranged it like this, it proves that he has mastered Zhang Zhenguo's whereabouts!

Liu Cheng guessed right, Ono did know, but he only knew it not long ago.

After Tian Ruyu's family was rescued, he began to use all his strength to start the investigation, and finally had some gains half a month ago, knowing that those people were hiding in Wuyang Village, right under his nose.

It's just that he couldn't be sure how many of them there were, and how many weapons they had.

Miki's body was discovered, and he immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

He knew that the other party would definitely be prepared, so he arranged for people to stay near Wuyang Village in advance, and as soon as the reinforcements sent by Nomura arrived, he drove directly to Wuyang Village, which was actually just a bluff.

After Ono left, Zhang Zhenguo and the others were worried that he would come again, so they immediately began to transfer the whole group, but they didn't know that they stepped into Ono's trap!
