After the special combat team completely occupied Zongyang, Bai Fei walked into Zongyang City.

Li Hu greeted him and said, "Tuanzuo, the devils in the city have all been wiped out. ”

"Are there any casualties among the brothers?"

Li Hu said: "Only one brother rushed too hard, tripped over the stone under his feet, fell on his scalp, and was slightly injured, and the rest did not suffer any casualties. ”

Bai Fei said: "Very good, keep it up." You have to remember that your life is worth more than the devil, and this fight is not bad, if you can use a gun, don't use a gun, don't use a knife if you can use a gun, in short, don't be afraid of ammunition consumption, everything has me. ”

"Yes!"

Bai Fei said again: "Have all the vigilantes spilled out?" ”

Li Hu said: "Don't worry, the group seat has been arranged." ”

At this time, a special combat team member ran over quickly and saluted: "Tuanza, captain, we have already found the baggage warehouse of the devil." Vice Captain Li Kuan asked you to come over for a moment. ”

Bai Fei said: "Lead the way, let's go and have a look." ”

After a while, everyone came to the seat of the former Zongyang County Government. Zongyang City is relatively small, and most of the houses and streets are built relatively low, but the transportation near the county government is convenient, and there are more houses and relatively wide, so they are used as temporary warehouses by devils.

Li Kuan, the deputy captain of the special combat team, saw Bai Fei and the others coming, and said to him: "Tuanzao, the devil has hidden a lot of materials here, including clothes, hats, shoes, socks, tents, bedding, weapons, ammunition, and canned food. Come in and see. ”

Everyone walked into the warehouse to take a look, and sure enough, they found that the materials inside were piled up, Li Hu smacked his lips and said: "It's a pity that so many materials are ruined!" ”

Bai Fei said: "It's a pity, but there are no other Chinese troops around here except us, so we can't take so many things away..."

As he was talking, another special combat team came to report that a stable had been found in the east of the city, and there were hundreds of war horses in it.

Li Hu said happily: "This is really sleepy to send pillows, with these war horses, our mobility will be improved a lot, and we can also carry more materials here." ”

Bai Fei was also very happy, and said: "That's right, tell the brothers to act immediately, bring as much as you can!"

Soon, hundreds of war horses were already strapped to food, medicine, tents and other things, as for the devil's weapons and ammunition, Bai Fei didn't look down on it, so he didn't want it at all. But even so, in addition to ammunition, there was still a large amount of food and daily necessities left in the warehouse, and Bai Fei alone couldn't take them all away even if he was exhausted.

Looking at the mountains of materials, Li Hu was very reluctant in his heart, and sighed: "Now that the army is in chaos, there are many people who can't eat because of the war, how good it would be if these food were taken out, Tuanzuo, why don't we dig a few big pits here, bury the things first, and then take them out when we have the opportunity to take them out in the future?" ”

To be honest, Bai Fei was also a little reluctant in his heart, so after listening to Li Hu's words, he was about to nod, but saw Li Kuan coming in a hurry.

"Tuanzuo, the vigilant brother sent a signal that the Japanese pursuers in Anqing are about to arrive at Shishan."

When Bai Fei heard this, he knew that even if he wanted to bury it now, it would be too late, so he said to Li Hu: "Now the situation is urgent, we can't allow us to bury it carefully, the thing is good, but if it is not destroyed, it will fall into the hands of the devil again, isn't it equivalent to a disguised enemy?" Besides, even if it is buried, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be found by the devils. Immediately implement the plan and at the same time let the brothers withdraw from Zongyang! ”

"Yes!"

More than ten minutes later, the Japanese army had already arrived outside the west gate of Zongyang City. In order to catch the sneak attacker, Matsuura Junrokuro really sent all his troops out, and the 136th Infantry Brigade, Major General Aoki Seiichi commanded the former enemy who pursued and suppressed the battle, and gave him a strict order, if he did not catch the sneak attacker, he would be asked to apologize.

Aoki Seiichi carried this black cauldron for no reason, and he was naturally very angry, but he had to take this hot potato, and instead turned all his anger to the "Shina Military Police Regiment" that attacked the artillery brigade. Of course, he still didn't know that this incident was personally planned and led by Bai Fei, the commander of the regiment directly under the gendarmerie. Previously, he received an order to lead the troops to search in the vicinity of Dalong Mountain, but found nothing, just when he was anxious, he suddenly received the news of the attack on Zongyang, so he immediately led the troops to Zongyang to reinforce and rescue.

However, by the time he arrived outside Zongyang City, the battle in Zongyang had already been over for a long time. Looking at the quiet Zongyang County City and the open city gate, Aoki Chengyi relied on his strong soldiers and horses, and was not afraid of ambushes, so he pulled out his saber and pointed to the city, and his soldiers immediately rushed in.

Unexpectedly, not long after the soldiers entered the city, a violent explosion suddenly came out of the city.

Aoki Cheng was shocked, thinking that the troops had been attacked in the city, but he heard the staff officer say: "It's not good, it's the direction of the warehouse, it seems that the Chinese army has blown up the warehouse." ”

"Bagaya Road!" Aoki was furious: "Hurry up and send someone in to put out the fire!" ”

However, where is the time? In order to completely destroy this large amount of materials, Bai Fei also made great efforts, and ordered people to move powerful explosives such as shells from the ammunition warehouse to the warehouse where daily necessities were stored, and then poured gasoline on the materials, so that the time bomb was planted. At this time, as soon as it exploded, the fire burned extremely fiercely, and even if the dragon lord came, he couldn't save it.

After a while, a dust-faced herald ran up with a strip of cloth in his hand and said, "Report to Lord Aoki, we found this on the eastern gate..."

Aoki Seiichi took it and took a look, and saw that it was written: "Those who blow up heavy artillery and destroy warehouses, Bai Fei, a regiment directly under the gendarmerie!" ”

"Bagaya Road! Bagaya Road! At this time, the provocation of Chiluoluo! ”

Aoki Chengichi was so angry that he threw the strip of cloth on the ground, pulled out his saber and cut a small tree next to him into two pieces with a single sword: "Order the 123rd Wing to immediately send troops to chase me!" At the same time, the information was communicated to His Excellency the division commander. ”

Soon, it reached the headquarters of the 106th Division.

At this time, Junrokuro Matsuura was still angry about the matter of the heavy artillery brigade, and the chief of staff, Yoshitaka Akiyama, took the telegram and said happily: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, temporarily suppress the anger of the thunder, news has come from Zongyang, and the traces of Bai Fei, the head of the regiment directly under the military police of China, have been found to have fled eastward. ”

"What?" When Junrokuro Matsuura heard this, he immediately stood up, grabbed the telegram and read it. After reading it, Junrokuro Matsuura frowned again and said, "Just a strip of cloth, how can you determine that it must be Bai Fei?" ”

Akiyama Yoshitaka said: "Your Excellency the division commander, whether it is Bai Fei or not, it must be a regiment directly under the military police. I propose that this telegram be transmitted to Commander Okamura Ninji intact for his guidance. ”

Junrokuro Matsuura said, "Why is that? ”

Akiyama Yoshitaka said: "Isn't it for this Bai Fei and his troops that we are besieging Anqing so hard this time?" Although he finally let him run away, now that there are clues on the side of Zongyang, we have the right to treat the cloth information as if it is true, and we only need to send troops to pursue it closely. At the same time, we passed the news of Zongyang to Commander Okamura Ninji and asked him to make a judgment, what do you think he will do? ”

Junrokuro Matsuura thought for a moment and said, "Presumably, he will also order us to continue the pursuit and mobilize troops to participate in the siege in line with the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person rather than let it go." ”

"Exactly!" Yoshitaka Akiyama said: "In this way, even if the news is false, it is the judgment of His Excellency the commander, and we are only acting on orders. But if it is true, there will be three situations: first, we have captured or eliminated Bai Fei; Second, we cooperated with other troops to capture and eliminate Bai Fei; Third, let Bai Fei run away. ”

"Your Excellency Matsuura, think about it, with the importance that the empire attaches to Bai Fei, no matter if the first or second situation happens, we will have no merit, and when the time comes, the loss of the heavy artillery brigade will not be the evidence of our guilt at all."

When Junrokuro Matsuura heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "But what if he let him run away?" ”

Akiyama Yoshitaka said: "This is not afraid, we can find a way to pass the responsibility on to others, let's just say that it is not good for others to cooperate, and when the time comes, more people will carry it with us, presumably our guilt will be smaller." ”

Junrokuro Matsuura thought about it after hearing this, and said, "Okay! That's it. Send a telegram to Okamura Ninji immediately. At the same time, order the 111th Brigade that Huaining withdrew to quickly bypass Caizi Lake and intercept Bai Fei and his troops from the side! ”
