Tsuruta Numan knew very well that the breakthrough of Hirakawa Town meant that the Qiaokou stronghold might have also suffered misfortune. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . And the loss of the line from Pingchuan to Qiaokou means that the Tuba Road has reopened the route into the mountain at this time, which means that he is now returning to the mountain.

Looking at the Taihang Mountains in the east, which looked unusually thick under the night, Tsuruta Numan lowered his originally proud head in frustration. He knew that this time the tiger returned to the mountain, at least this year, he no longer had any hope to solve this dirt road. At present, the original troops have been transferred by his superiors, and he is no longer in danger of remobilizing enough troops.

And the destruction of the Okazaki detachment made him no longer dare to use a small force to carry out a sweep in the eastern mountainous area of Hubei. When the time comes, don't let the wolf hit, and you are doing it empty-handed, losing your troops. Tsuruta Numan thinks it's time for him to 'withdraw' from the territory of Hubei for the time being. As for the law and order rectification here, let's let the guy who succeeded Kamishiro have a headache.

Tsuruta thinks it's imperative that he focus on the plan at hand. If his plan is really completed, it will form the most deadly threat and blow to the eight roads in the Taihang Mountains. For these cunning guys, adopting this kind of high-level 'shooting' tactic of killing mosquitoes at the expense of the people and money is really a bit of a "waste" and a waste of troops.

Compared to the exhausted 'essence' who was tossed, plus Tsuruta Nunan, who was almost not so angry that he vomited blood. Wang Tieshi, the captain of the pseudo-Hubei County garrison over there, could almost be said to be about to vomit blood after seeing the current situation in Pingchuan. This is the third time that his garrison headquarters has been terminated, and his old book has almost been lost at one time.

The first two times I had painstakingly accumulated many years of old capital, I was tossed a 'fine' light, not to mention, I was almost not shot by the Japanese on the charge of reselling arms. And the customers in western Henan also lost a lot of money because they couldn't deliver the goods, which also affected the reputation of the business.

Those wanderers in western and eastern Henan, even the transport convoys of the Central Army dare to rob, and if there is a gun, it is the local armed force of the king of grass, but no matter what reason you did not 'deliver' the goods in time. Anyway, they paid a deposit, and if you can't 'deliver' enough weapons, they will settle accounts with you.

The henchmen sent out by themselves said that they had also taken a lot of opium as compensation, so that these guys had postponed the time of 'delivery' to the end of the year. I also tried my best to get some weapons and bullets from Nakajo Mountain and the east of Lingchuan, and I was ready to shoot.

Now the supplies on the side of Zhongtiao Mountain and Lingchuan are not very good. There are also no more weapons on the side of Nakajo Mountain, and the number of bullets distributed is getting smaller and smaller. The generals of the Central Army who were transferred to the defense had a great appetite, and the price of a Czech rifle or a Chinese rifle was twice the price of the original Hanyang rifle.

Moreover, light and heavy machine guns are resolutely unwilling to sell, and are only willing to sell some old goods that they have accumulated 'privately', such as old sleeves, Hanyang-made, and all kinds of miscellaneous rifles. The key point is that as the import channels have been cut off one after another, as well as the depletion of financial resources and the inability of their own military production to rise, the quantity and quality of weapons replenishment over there are also declining one after another.

It is becoming more and more difficult to replenish the miscellaneous army, the number of weapons of a division is constantly declining, and it is somewhat unsustainable on its own, and the number of weapons and ammunition that can be sold is getting smaller and smaller. However, the Central Army, especially the Huangpu Department, has relatively strict control over the troops, and there are not many weapons that can be sold by itself.

Under such circumstances, some of the generals over there had an increasing appetite and asked for more and more quantities of certain materials such as food and Western 'medicine'. Even if it is a big rear, the price of Western 'medicine' is constantly rising. 'Medicine' products such as sulfonamides can even be used as hard currency.

People want Western 'medicine', but it is much more valuable than the fiat currency that is constantly depreciating at present. What people want is Western 'medicine' and some materials that are in short supply in the rear, and they generally don't want fiat currency except for the current ocean and gold bars. If you want to get some weapons, ammunition, and 'medicine', you can only 'get' Western 'medicine' and opium.

And now the Western 'medicine', especially the sulfonamide that is being asked for there, is being controlled more and more tightly by the Japanese. It is becoming more and more difficult to open up new sources of goods from Zhongtiao Mountain. I tried my best to reopen the passage of the Second War Zone in the southwest of Shanxi, and it took a lot of effort to buy some things.

As a result, this time I finally accumulated a little money at one time, and this time I was served by this Tubalu. Although he was by Tsuruta Nunan's side, he couldn't count the losses. But Wang Tieshi knew very well that the arms he had hoarded last time were so hidden that they were found by Balu.

This time, I have painstakingly obtained 200 guns and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition to sell to Yudong, as well as a batch of grenades and yellow 'color' explosives, I am afraid that they will all be lost again, and that Tubalu will not even leave a single 'Mao' for himself. And this time, the losses before and after are combined, and the strength at hand is added together, and there are only more than two squadrons left.

Thinking that the goods that were going to be 'delivered' to those miscellaneous armed parties in eastern Henan half a month later were swept away again this time, Wang Tieshi's face kept 'twitching'. In addition, the garrison suffered heavy losses this time, and it may not be easy to get some reinforcements from the Japanese.

Wang Tieshi's distressed blood was about to flow out, but Tsuruta Nuanan over there was very generous, patted Wang Tieshi on the shoulder and said, "Wang Sang, the responsibility for your loss this time is not yours." I can see very well that you are loyal to the Imperial Army. Don't worry, I will discuss with the division to make up for the loss of the garrison as soon as possible. ”

Before Wang Tieshi could taste the ruthlessness in front of him, he had always been very distrustful of himself. But he is deeply trusted by his boss and now holds great power in his hands, and his attitude towards himself has changed greatly this time. What did he mean by those words?

Over there, Tsuruta Numan said again: "However, after the replenishment is completed, your troop defense area should not be limited to the triangular area of Pingchuan, Luoma, and Qiaokou. Extend a little bit to the east. Don't be in a hurry, take your time little by little. The Imperial Army will cooperate with you and push your front as far east as possible. ”

"Also, this time the plainclothes team will be expanded to a certain extent. I will 'hand' over to Liu Sang, and his plainclothes team will leave some people in Pingchuan to assist you in your operation. Whether you Wang Sang have this ability, I still believe it, and the empire also believes it. Wang Sang, I am very optimistic about you. ”

Hearing Tsuruta Nuan's words, although Wang Tieshi cursed ten thousand times in his heart, the smile on his face did not dare to decrease for half a minute. He understood what Tsuruta Numan meant, and he could see the intention very clearly. That guy wanted to take himself as the vanguard, and adopt the tactics of encroachment on the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei under the condition that the large-scale sweep and "wave" cost troops and did not achieve results.

This is not a good thing for me at all. You Japanese have no way to take that Tuba Road, and let the family attack Hubei County. At this time, let yourself take the lead for them, isn't this letting yourself be a substitute for the dead? If it's a good thing, why don't they go themselves?

It's just that Tsuruta Numan said that he had a smile on his face at this time, but there was a frightening cold light in his eyes. But in addition to making Wang Tieshi dare not show any dissatisfaction, he had to keep saying words like thanking the imperial army for cultivation. Wang Tieshi knew that if he 'revealed' a trace of dissatisfaction, the end of his deputy captain was in front of him.

When this Tsuruta Shaozo slashed his vice-captain alive with a knife, he had this kind of smile on his face. For Wang Tieshi, he would rather offend the original Luo Hekanshiro than offend this young man who said that he would turn his face and take killing people seriously.

looked at Wang Tieshi in front of him, and his waist was about to hang to the ground. Tsuruta Numan smiled and said nothing. With his troops, he turned around and walked away. And after Wang Tieshi left, until his back had completely disappeared, he dared to take out a handkerchief and wipe the sweat on his head.

Just turned his head to look at the corpses and mess in his garrison headquarters, where he had not had time to clean up, Wang Tieshi almost cried without tears. What should I do if I need to 'deliver' the goods after half a month? And the only remaining troops of my current self, what should I do if I go and return again?

Faced with the broken situation, Wang Tieshi, who didn't know that Li Ziyuan didn't have time to take care of him at the moment, could be described as at a loss. He could only temporarily abandon the strongholds of Luoma and Qiaokou, and shrink the remaining forces at hand to the periphery of Pingchuan. Defend your base camp with all your might, so as not to be attacked.

However, after Tsuruta Nuanan left, Wang Tieshi, who had changed into his garrison uniform, carefully avoided everyone around him and walked towards the hinterland of Taihang Mountain in the east of Hubei. As for what this person did, no one except Wang Tieshi knew anything else.

In fact, now that he is worried about Li Ziyuan's department in Taihang Mountain, Wang Tieshi, who has been killed again, there is no need to worry too much at all. Because the current Li Ziyuan has not withdrawn to Taihang Mountain at all. Moreover, the team he transported supplies did not enter the mountain from Luoma and Qiaokou at all.

Li Ziyuan's attack on Luoma and Pingchuan was just a bluff, and the attention of the Japanese puppet army was focused on the triangle of Luoma, Qiaokou, and Pingchuan. In order to cover his large convoy of supplies, he arrived at his true destination through Basongling, that is, the area where the Ludong Army Division was located.

For Li Ziyuan, who is not very greedy, he can't digest these materials at all. In addition to the winter clothes required by his troops, as well as the corresponding cloth and cotton 'flowers', Li Ziyuan only left a part of the weapons, as well as part of the ammunition 'medicine' and a part of the explosive 'medicine'.

Most of the remaining supplies were transported by him to the military division. In particular, the seized 'medicine', cloth and cotton 'flowers' were also urgently needed by these military sub-districts. Li Ziyuan had no intention of eating alone, and most of these materials were handed over by him. As for whether the military sub-district should be handed over to the military region or kept for use by oneself, that is a matter for the superiors.

After the capture of Pingchuan Town, some of the steel rails and explosives that Li Ziyuan snatched out were also rushed by some mass organizations mobilized by Chang Juan, so they first found a place to fortify the wall. After the end of this anti-sweeping operation, they were sent to the Licheng Arsenal in exchange for the mine fuses they urgently needed.

As for Li Ziyuan himself, after completing a series of true and false battles, he did not enter the mountain at all. He was now in dire need of reinforcements, and the potential of his troops in the mountainous areas east of Hubei had been tapped. We can only turn our attention to the western, southwestern, and northwest areas of Hubei, and the densely populated Shangdang Basin.
