Faced with the plan of action reported to Nakatani Zao, Maeda Akisuke reluctantly provided him with some support and allocated a squad of devil soldiers for him to use.

A few days passed in a hurry, and soon it was the afternoon of July 16.

A squad of devil soldiers, under the careful arrangement of Nakatani Zao, quietly left Guhuai City, led by the traitor agents of the detective team, and ambushed near Qilidian Village.

Nakatani wanted to send more troops, but he didn't have that many men, and he was afraid of alarming the underground party, so he canceled the handover. The strength of this squad is already the limit of all conditions.

That's it, for the sake of prudence, Nakatani Zao still sent Lieutenant Kitano Kiyoshi to lead a military police detachment to act with the devil squad, and their task was to capture alive the Guhuai underground party who delivered the goods.

Before leaving, Nakatani repeatedly told Kitano Kiyoshi that he could leave nothing else, and his task tonight was to bring back the underground party who delivered the goods alive.

Nakatani's idea is very wonderful, and the arrangement is also very thorough.

However, Zhonggu Zao could think that according to the order of the head of the military region, the special service battalion of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had already sneaked into Qilidian Village in the early hours of yesterday morning.

According to the prior deployment, the Eighth Route Army arranged for some troops to ambush near the material handover site, and other soldiers set up several blocking positions in the village.

In late July, the weather was very hot, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army overcame difficulties and quietly lay in ambush, and throughout the day, the soldiers drank cold water when they were thirsty, gnawed on dry food when they were hungry, and remained motionless, waiting for the start of the operation.

In the afternoon, a team of Japanese devils sneakily came to Qilidian Village, and according to the arrangement of Nakatani, facing the direction of Guhuai City, they quietly ambushed in the west of the village.

Immediately afterwards, I saw more than a dozen plainclothes spies sneaking into the village and scattering to several corners of the village to secretly monitor them.

It's a pity that the actions of the Japanese devils who thought they were hidden were all seen clearly by the Eighth Route Army scouts who were ambushed on the roof of the village in advance.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark.

God is also very powerful tonight, a large dark cloud obscured the moon and stars in the sky, and it was dark.

Rural people who are tired of a day's work generally go to bed very early, at this time in Qilidian Village, everything is silent, there is no light in the whole village, and there is no figure on the dark street, only occasionally, I don't know where there is a dog barking or two.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the special service battalion of the Eighth Route Army quietly made local adjustments according to the enemy situation observed in the afternoon and the current ambush position of the devils and spies, so as to make the best arrangements for the smooth operation of the troops.

Both the enemy and the enemy in ambush waited patiently, and their eyes were all fixed on the intersection of the west side of the village.

"Stomp, crunch, crunch"

From the west of the village, the sound of a large cart moving could be heard in the distance, and it was very noticeable in this quiet night.

Suddenly, whether it was the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army or the devil spies in ambush, their attention was instantly focused, staring closely at the direction from which the sound of the cart came.

Soon, the black shadows of two large cars appeared from a distance and slowly walked towards the west of Qilidian Village.

The men and horses in the ambush on both sides did not move, and they all stared at the cart with good eyes, their weapons clenched in both hands, and waited for the order to fight.

The big car in the distance gradually approached Qilidian Village, paused for a few seconds at the west entrance of the village, and the handlebar of the car carefully identified the direction, and then continued to move forward with a whip.

The cart slowly entered the village from the west entrance of the village, without stopping, along the central street of the village, through the small Qilidian Village, and came to the vicinity of the Land Temple at the east end of the village, and stopped.

At this time, I saw from a distance that a tall and thin man jumped from the cart, tiptoed forward a few steps, turned on the flashlight, and shook it towards the Land Temple.

As the flashlight lit up, immediately, there were several flashlight responses, and then, several figures flashed out from the shadows on the side of the wall of the Land Temple, and walked quickly towards the cart.

The person who came walked up to the tall and thin man, neither of them spoke, and each took out half a silver scroll.

Four hands, two and a half silver scrolls, under the flashlight, together, tightly, yes, the tall and thin man confirmed that the other party was the merchant who came to receive the goods, so he stretched out his hand to signal that the other party could drive the cart away.

The person who received the goods didn't make a sound, nor did he beckon his own people to catch the car, but glanced at the tall and thin man who delivered the goods, with a look of pity in his eyes, and turned around and waved in the direction of the Land Temple.

Although the goods have been delivered, the subordinate of Diao Yigui, who came to deliver the goods with the car, did not leave immediately, and still waited stupidly, thinking about good things in his heart, thinking about the benefits that the receiver gave him.

In the past, every time he made a delivery, the merchant who received the goods would give him dozens of yuan as an errand fee, and the tall and thin man had developed a habit of rushing to undertake the delivery task in front of Diao Yigui every time for these benefits.

Tonight's delivery task, compared with the past, but it is much harder, the tall and thin man still thinks about whether he can get more benefits, but what he didn't expect is that this time, he didn't wait for the other party's banknotes.

As the other party beckoned, I saw dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army running out of the black shadow, and they came to the side of the cart, either on their backs or on their backs, and instantly transported all the things on the two carts, and disappeared into the darkness.

In this situation, the tall and thin Chinese characters were dumbfounded, and the others who came to the car were also dumbfounded, how could there be the Eighth Route Army? Before he could react, in an instant, gunshots rang out, and a team of devil soldiers suddenly appeared at the west end of the village, rushing towards the east of the village.

Immediately afterwards, out of nowhere, groups of the Eighth Route Army flashed out, intercepting the devils while retreating alternately to the east.

The battle was very fierce, the firepower of both sides was very fierce, one side wanted to force the people to rush over to arrest people, the other side wanted to stop them and delay time, and the other side did not give in to each other, and the fighting became more and more intense.

Because this place is too close to Guhuai, it is not suitable to entangle with the devils for a long time, the Eighth Route Army retreated while fighting, insisted on intercepting the Japanese devils for nearly 20 minutes, and waited for the soldiers carrying the materials to go away.

After a while, according to the plan, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army retreated to the vicinity of the Land Temple, and the devils followed. Suddenly, more than a dozen machine guns that had been ambushed in the Land Temple in advance opened fire together, and in an instant, the Japanese devils who caught up were killed and wounded, and the rest were all lying on the ground, unable to raise their heads.

Immediately after, only a whistle was heard.

Hearing this signal, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, taking advantage of the moment when the devil was suppressed by the powerful firepower just now, turned around and disappeared into the darkness, running without a trace.

There were only two big cars left, and a few people who came to deliver goods stopped in place, and the four people were lying there with their heads in their hands, helpless, pinching and dazed, not knowing what to do.

Before they could react, they were pressed there by the devil soldiers who rushed over with great difficulty and paid a lot of casualties, and if it weren't for Nakatani's strict order to catch them alive, they would have been chopped into meat sauce by the angry devils.

Although the losses were a bit large, they did not wipe out the Eighth Route Army that came to receive the goods, and the goods sent were also robbed by the Eighth Route Army, but Kitano Kiyoshi, a military police lieutenant who followed him, was still very happy.

All the underground party who delivered the goods were captured, which was what Nakatani had told him to do, and his task was successfully completed.

Carrying the wounded soldiers, carrying the corpses, and carrying the four underground parties that delivered the goods, the Japanese devils triumphed.
