Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Fang Family Guard is strong and strong

The county seat of Lin'an County. The front yard of the Fang family compound. In the war room of the Japanese command.

The obscene Liu Guangxiong bowed grovellingly and then introduced himself and said:

"Captain, the contemptible person is Liu Guangxiung, the special commissioner of Nanjing, please take care of me."

Guo Lin bowed timidly and said flatteringly: "Wing Captain, the contemptible Guo Lin is the secret intelligence officer of Hegu Shaozuo, please take care of it." ”

Eiichi Nakagawa sat on the sofa next to him and said, "You guys have worked hard, please sit down and talk." ”

Liu Guangxiung: "Captain, I was looted by the Communist Eighth Route Army on the way back to Nanjing. Unfortunately, the secret cooperation agreement signed between our Nanjing government and the imperial army fell into the hands of **. I ask the Wing Commander to contact General Murayama and Nanjing immediately, and give me a copy of the agreement to bring back to Nanjing, so that it can be implemented as soon as possible and bring about a new situation of coexistence and co-prosperity in North China at an early date. ”

Nakagawa Eiichi said impatiently: "Don't say any more cooperation agreements, there are no secrets in the hands of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and now there is no practical meaning at all." Although a cooperation agreement has been signed, the Nanjing government will not do anything, and the cooperation needs to be re-studied and formulated. Mr. Liu, now I want to know how you got caught? How did you escape back? You have to make it clear to me. ”

Liu Guangxiong: "Yes. Captain, the situation is like this, after the cooperation agreement was signed, I left Beiping and went to Baoding. In half a month's time, I negotiated with the local rich businessmen and squires to raise funds, but I didn't expect to just leave Baoding, just in time for the imperial army to sweep, in order to facilitate the movement on the road, I had to ask the national army stationed nearby and the imperial army to sign an armistice agreement to send troops to escort me back to Nanjing, unfortunately near Shengcang Village met the imperial army's sweeping troops, because the national soldiers did not know the inside story, so they fought with the imperial army, and then the Eighth Route Army came over again, and arrested me, the national army and part of the imperial army. Soon after, the Imperial Army surrounded the village of Shengcang and launched a fierce attack, but the Eighth Route Army was no match for the Imperial Army, and they resisted for a while before fleeing from the tunnels in disarray. ”

"Mr. Liu, please forgive me. At that time, my troops were ordered to urgently move from Baoding, and they did not know the situation in Lin'an County at all, so the vanguard encountered the Kuomintang troops escorting you, and misunderstood the start of the war, which frightened you, and when I knew the troops of the warring party, I immediately ordered my troops to stop the attack and withdraw from the battlefield immediately. Mr. Liu, you also went out from the tunnel? Do you know where the tunnel crossing is? ”

Liu Guangxiong: "Yes, I went out of the tunnel, but they blindfolded me and tied my hands, so I didn't know where the entrance and exit of the tunnel were. When he came out of the tunnel, he had already reached a long way outside the village, and he was beyond the encirclement of the imperial army, and then he walked all the way west, and only settled down in Shuihe Village. A few days ago, it was the intelligence officers of the Imperial Army who were lurking in the Eighth Route Army who killed the soldiers guarding me that rescued me. ”

"The Communist Eighth Route Army is so cunning! Do you know their numbers? ”

Liu Guangxiung: "The supplementary regiment is the regular unit of the Eighth Route Army and the militia guerrillas. ”

"Okay, Mr. Liu, you have worked hard, go down and rest first."

Guo Lin took out the information and said: "Wing Commander, this is the information that 'Taishan' asked me to hand over to you, including the exact location of the tunnel entrance and exit outside the village of Shengcang Village, as well as the detailed report and deployment map of the Eighth Route Army's troops, weapons and armament in Shuihe Village. 'Tarzan' said that now was the best time, and asked the wing commander to immediately send out heavy troops to encircle and suppress him. ”

Nakagawa Eiichi took the information and said, "Okay, Mr. Guo, you have done a good job, and I will reward you heavily." I ask you, who is 'Tarzan'? ”

Guo Lin: "'Taishan' is the intelligence officer of the imperial army sent by the Baoding Special High School to enter the supplementary regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the western Hebei region, and I am the liaison officer, directly under the command of Hegu Shaozuo. ”

Eiichi Nakagawa: "Well, that's good. Mr. Guo, the two of you can only obey my orders and commands in the future. ”

Guo Lin stood up and bowed flatteredly: "Yes, thank you Wing Captain for your support and cultivation, from now on, we will do our best to work for the Great Japanese Empire and the Wing Captain." ”

"Alright, you go down to eat and rest first."

Shuihe Village. Inside the regimental headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Han Dagang, commander of the second battalion, said that Franciscan entered the mountain in order to mobilize troops out of the mountain to ambush the Japanese army. Several leaders of the supplementary regiment were skeptical, and some were not convinced at all. Han Dagang could only explain and explain to them based on what he knew and knew about a long time ago.

Han Dagang: "Fang Jiren's entry into the mountains is by no means to mobilize the troops of our Eighth Route Army, even if there is him, he can't be moved, let alone not, this is simply impossible." I mean, he goes and mobilizes his own troops, and pulls out the mountain to put a strong team into battle. ”

Staff Officer Wu said disdainfully: "Battalion Commander Han, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, where did Fang Jiren come from his own team?" Still tough? Look at what you said, you said that you had spoken to him as God. ”

Han Dagang: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Do you remember? When Fang Jiren left, he said that he was going to the mountains to find herbs to heal injuries and diseases, which is certainly true, but in fact, another main purpose of his trip to the mountains was to transfer troops out of the mountains to prepare for an ambush. ”

Yu Genshan: "Huh? The more I listened, the more confused I became. Battalion Commander Han, you can tell me in detail. ”

Han Dagang: "Yes." Probably more than sixty years ago, the Fang family began to mine and dig coal in the gourd valley of Yufeng Mountain, starting from the grandfather's generation of Fang Jiren's grandfather. A few years ago, it was said that there were five or six coal mines, two iron mines, copper mines, and salt mines, and it was estimated that there were more than 1,000 workers in total, all poor peasants and mountain people, as well as family members and children. In order to guard against the frequent harassment and robbery of warlords and bandits all year round, the Fang family organized and equipped a standing armed guard of more than 300 people in full accordance with the establishment of the regular army, all of which were composed of young and middle-aged people under the age of 30. In the summer before joining the Eighth Route Army, I followed Fang Jiren in a horse-drawn carriage to deliver medicine and see a doctor in the mountains, visited all the villages and mining areas, and lived in the Hulu Valley for more than a month. When I returned to the county seat, I brought back a cart full of pork, beef and mutton. I've seen them in Hulu Valley, a team with strict discipline, rigorous training, and constant readiness. It was rigorously trained by Fang Daxin, Fang Jiren's second uncle, from military instructors sent from the Kuomintang army. So I think they are stronger in combat than the county brigade, especially good at mountain warfare, and if they are ambushed in the plains, it will be even more fine. This team has been trained in martial arts by the Fangjia Martial Arts Hall all year round, and is better at hand-to-hand combat with close quarters and close-to-hand. Fang Jiren's seventh uncle Fang Zhenhai's personal guards and guards are even more powerful, they are all strong and strong, strong in martial arts, with unique skills, loyal and brave in battle. Think about it, can such a team be poor in combat effectiveness? ”

The chief of staff said disdainfully: "Hmph! Battalion Commander Han, what you said is so lively, I think this Fang Family Guard is just a reckless mountain people's army, is it as amazing as you say? ”

Huang Zhongde: "No! They are not only a reckless mountain people's army, but also a fierce landlord army, how can they fight the Japanese devils? ”

Han Dagang: "Maybe." What I said is just my personal opinion, but there is no need for me to say that the Fang Family Guard is superb, and the chief of staff can not believe it at all. However, Director Huang, I think it is inaccurate for you to say that the Fang Jiawei is armed by the landlords. ”

Yu Genshan: "Okay, let's not talk about the nature of the Fang Family Guard. Battalion Commander Han, even if Fang Jiren has the ability to find more than 200 people, how are their weapons and equipment? Do they take spears and broadswords and go to ambush? Don't they know what weapons and equipment the devils have? ”

Han Dagang: "Regiment Commander, this is exactly what I want to talk about about weapons and equipment. In those years, I saw in the mountains, the Fangjia Guard had the Min-24 heavy machine gun and the Czech light machine gun produced by the Jinling Arsenal of the Nationalist Government in imitation of the German Makqin heavy machine gun, and the German MP41, the British Stern and the Soviet Bobosha submachine gun. Rifles, mortars, grenadiers, mines, and grenades were all bought by Fang Zhenhai from the Kuomintang army through Fang Daxin's relationship with himself, and it can be said that they are fully equipped and have sufficient ammunition. There are also those captured during previous battles with warlords and bandits. It is said that there are also mountain artillery, but I didn't see it, so I said that their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the county brigade, and not even weaker than our supplementary regiment. Now I'll talk about Franciscan again, these people he organized already had some weapons in their hands, and more of them were captured from the devils. Today, Fang Jiren sent six Oriental war horses, military maps, several binoculars, and compasses, but did not send a single shot, saying that he left the weapons and ammunition to prevent the sneak attack and encirclement of the devils. We all know that the people who can ride this kind of war horse and use this kind of telescope are generally officers of the Japanese army captains and lieutenants, and these six Oriental war horses also indicate the size of the Japanese army, and the weapons captured from them should also include machine guns, mortars, grenadiers, and about 100 rifles. From the analysis of these seized weapons, it can be concluded that the team organized by Francis now has a certain size and combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is entirely possible that Francis combined these two teams together to ambush at night. ”

Political Commissar: "Xiao Han, tell me again, who is the commander of the Fang Family Guard?" What kind of person is Francis' seventh uncle? What kind of mysterious place is Hulu Valley? ”
