Chapter 374: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

"Signal soldiers, contact the imperial army detachment in the stronghold of Shangguan Village again, and ask them to carefully check the enemy's strength ...... for me."

Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......

Just as the Japanese squadron leader was about to ask the signal corps to contact the Shangguancun stronghold again, the phone in his office suddenly rang.

Puzzled, he walked over and picked up the phone, and the voice of the operator came from there.

"Squadron Leader, Shangguan Village Pingchuan Cao Chang has asked to speak directly with you."

"Take it."

……

"Moxi Moxi...... I'm Squadron Leader Mizawa, please speak. ”

"Report captain, we have been shelled by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and now all the outer fortifications have been lost, we have retreated to the turret, and we have asked for immediate support, and we have requested immediate support, and we have requested immediate support ......!

Boom...... Boom ......! ”

Suddenly, several chaotic calls for help, mixed with dull explosions and fierce gunfire, faintly came from the other side of the phone, causing the Japanese squadron leader's face to change greatly.

"Moximosi, Moximoxi......."

At the same time, perhaps to confirm the ferocity of the enemy's attack, the telephone that had been open was abruptly cut off.

After Squadron Leader Misawa shouted a few times in a row, the voice of the operator came from the other side of the phone, reporting that the communication was interrupted and that he could not contact the Shangguan Village stronghold for the time being.

After a few more minutes, after several successive calls to no avail, Squadron Leader Mizawa's face became extremely grim.

At this moment, Misawa also began to be afraid.

Combined with the recent rumors that heavy weapons have flowed into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, Misawa faintly feels that his defense area is likely to have really jumped into the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

You must know that nearly a month ago, the wing just issued an order from the division commander, urging the imperial troops in each defense area to keep a tight guard before the arrival of summer, and not to take the initiative to attack the Eighth Road in the mountains without an order, so as to prevent being ambushed by superior forces.

Because of this, Misawa has not paid much attention to the puppet army strongholds scattered in the mountains recently.

Especially in the last 10 days, even on the premise of continuously losing the strongholds of the puppet army on the edge of his defense area, he still strictly abides by the orders of the division commander and firmly guards the core area of his defense area.

However, what he never expected was that this group of Tubalu was so bold that they besieged the stronghold near the county seat in broad daylight, and it was also a stronghold with the help of the imperial army!

Suddenly, Misawa felt like he was being kicked in the face, a feeling of being ignored by the weak.......

"Yaga...... Damn the Shina people. ”

Feeling the humiliation of his pride, he turned and walked slowly to his desk, slowly picking up his command knife from the knife holder.

Gently pulling out the blade, feeling the bloody aura remaining on the blade, his spirit was shocked, and then he looked at the communication soldier in front of him.

"Order, all the members of the gendarmerie immediately assemble, and at the same time notify the captain of the county detective team, the captain of the garrison team, the captain of the anti-smuggling team, and the head of the security regiment to immediately come to the gendarmerie for a meeting!!"

"Hey ......!"

Soon, with a terrible siren, more than 100 Japanese soldiers quickly poured out of the barracks and began to quickly assemble in the compound of the gendarmerie.

Not long after, two officers in pseudo-military uniforms and a man in a black short coat also ran into the courtyard out of breath.

Seeing that more than 100 devil soldiers had all assembled, the three of them immediately realized that something was wrong, so they hurriedly ran to the side of the team and stood up, waiting for the appearance of the main master.

Soon, with the sound of leather boots stomping on the floor, Squadron Leader Misawa, who was fully armed, walked out of the house with a gloomy face, surrounded by several lieutenants.

Coming to the steps in front of the courtyard, Misawa saw that all his subordinates had been assembled, nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly:

"Warriors of the empire, just ten minutes ago, nearly 300 guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army surrounded the stronghold of Shangguan Village in the west of the county seat, and carried heavy weapons.

Now, I order that in addition to the Suzuki squad remaining in the county seat, the 1st and 2nd infantry squads, the 1st heavy machine gun detachment and the mortar detachment will immediately follow me out of the city and increase the stronghold in Shangguan Village! ”

"Hey ......!"

After closing the words, Misawa turned his head to look at the three Chinese beside him.

Finding that only three people came, Misawa immediately asked with a displeased expression.

"Who didn't come!"

Hearing the devil's inquiry, several people immediately looked at me and I looked at you, all of them with a confused face.

And just when Misawa was about to get angry, the new detective team captain Liu Qingtai hurriedly patted his head, looked at the devil and whispered:

"Back to Taijun, it's Captain Li of the anti-smuggling team who didn't come. However, I heard from the members of their team who stayed behind that Captain Li was ordered to go out of the city on a search mission, and he was out of ......the city early in the morning. ”

Hearing the reply of Captain Liu of the detective team, the traitor translator who was present hurriedly translated the content to Misawa.

At this moment, the angry devil squadron leader remembered that Li Hongyi had reported to him in the morning, saying that he was going out of the city to carry out a search mission.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Misawa called several soldiers to his eyes, and asked the interpreter to read the order out one by one.

This time, with the exception of dozens of members of the security regiment, whose troops were mostly scattered in the strongholds outside the city, temporarily cooperated with some devils to stay behind, the garrison and the detective team were almost all dispatched, and they were ordered to rush to the Shangguan Village stronghold within three hours, otherwise they would all be severely punished.

Seeing that the face of the devil captain was not good-looking, although Zheng Weishan of the garrison and Liu Qingtai of the detective team knew that they would be exhausted to death if they were not killed, they did not dare to delay in the slightest, and then hurriedly returned to their respective troop stations, picked up their men and horses and went straight to the destination.

For a time, dozens of bicycles of the detective team lined up in a long line, passing through the streets and alleys of the county town majestically, and heading straight for the city gate.

Unlike the detective team, which has bicycles available, the county garrison, like the newly established security regiment, is a hard-working force that relies on a pair of iron feet to maneuver. Originally, they could still take the devil car to act together, but now the devil soldiers didn't give them a chance to hitchhike at all, and everyone was gone.

In desperation, Zheng Weishan, the captain of the garrison, could only forcibly requisition more than a dozen horses and mules in the county, and then collected five carts, which could barely be regarded as a means of transportation.

Just like rushing to a market, the nearly 100 people of the garrison were like a chaotic caravan, and those who shouted at Wuyang and Wuyang also followed the detective team out of the county seat.

……

The Bank of East Asia Hengxian Branch is located at the intersection of two prosperous commercial streets in the south of Hengxian County, occupying the southeast corner of the most prosperous intersection in Hengxian County.

The reason why the bank is located here is that the Japanese have a good vision from time to time, but before the devil came, it was actually a bank, but it was a branch of the Shanxi Bank of the Republic of China.

At this time, although the city had just experienced a chaotic mobilization of troops, because the people in the vicinity had long been accustomed to it, there were still many pedestrians on the commercial street. Not only that, but the Bank of East Asia has no intention of closing its doors early, and still allows people to enter for business.

At this moment, a tall man in a suit suddenly ran out of the south street of the bank in a hurry, and then went straight to the door of the bank with a panicked face.

Seeing someone rushing straight and straight like this, the two ghost soldiers on duty outside the door immediately raised their rifles alertly.

"Hey......! What kind of work!? ”

However, what they didn't expect was that the person who came shouted for help with the fluent Japanese army.

"Imperial soldier, I am a merchant of a Japanese trading company, and my companion has just been attacked by robbers in the south, come and help us!"

"Nani? How dare the people of China attack the people of the empire in the city? ”

The devil's senior soldier was stunned when he heard this, and then followed the man to the crossroads and looked south.

I saw that under the sun, the businessman in the same suit and leather shoes was falling to the ground at the moment, while the surrounding people were hiding in panic, as if they were frightened.

"The important things we were carrying were just snatched away by the Shina people, and they also injured one of our companions, and asked the kings to help, please!"

Listening to the sincere pleas of the businessmen around him, after looking at the "Japanese" lying on the ground, the devil's senior soldier immediately ran back to the bank lobby and shouted to the other three subordinates:

"Recruit Xiaoyuan stays, and the others come with me!"

……

Faster, the three Japanese soldiers followed the man who came to ask for help, and ran straight to the man lying on the ground.

"You two are on guard, and I'll see his injuries."

After the words were closed, the Japanese senior soldier put his weapon on the ground and immediately leaned down to try to turn the wounded man who was lying on his stomach with his head down to check the wounded in turn.

However, just as he struggled to turn the other party over, as a cold light flashed in front of him, a sharp dagger had already pierced into the heart of the devil soldier.

Poof......

was suddenly stabbed, making the ghost soldier subconsciously want to retreat, but the old ghost on the ground didn't give him this chance at all.

I saw that the old ghost tightly grabbed the devil's collar with his left hand, and the right hand holding the knife quickly pulled out the blade, and then stabbed it in again.

This time, the dagger almost pierced through the opponent's back.

As the tip of the knife stirred in the body of the devil soldier, the Japanese soldier's eyes immediately turned white in pain and trembled all over.

At the same time, just when the two vigilant devils found out that something was wrong, Zhao Shixun, who had been staying by their side, also suddenly made a move.

kicked a spear-wielding devil soldier to the ground, and Zhao Shixun immediately grabbed a ghost soldier next to him, raised his hand and stabbed him under the ribs.

The devil who was kicked over also reacted at this time, and immediately jumped up screaming.

"Yaga...... Go to hell......! ”

Angrily getting up from the ground, he rushed towards Zhao Shixun with a rifle with a bayonet.

However, what made him a little puzzled was that in the face of his blade, the other party did not dodge or dodge, but sneered at him slightly.

Just when the ghost soldier thought that the other party was looking for death, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his neck, and the whole person was pulled backwards violently.

Click...... Caught off guard, the Adam's apple of the devil soldier was directly strangled, making his eyes black in an instant.

Puff ......

The devil who was struggling in pain was still on the ground, Dapeng picked up the 38 big cover on the ground and slowly walked to the other party's side.

"Bunny...... I can't breathe. ”

"Huh...... Grandpa is in a good mood today, so I'll let you suffer less! ”
