The fifteen-kilometer march to Taiyuan City was a piece of cake for Xiao Siming, Chen Desheng, and Zhao Changshou. It's just that Zhao Changshou has been in the army for a short time, and his walking speed can't catch up with Xiao Siming and Chen Desheng.

After walking about five kilometers, I encountered a convoy of Japanese troop carriers, with a dozen light tanks and armored vehicles in front, fifty cars behind, and infantry guns and ammunition trucks drawn by pack horses.

Xiao Siming, Chen Desheng, and Zhao Changshou hurriedly stood on the side of the road.

The little devil in the car stood straight and straight, singing loudly, "Across the sea, across the mountains, corpses all over the field, sacrifice their lives for the emperor, and treat death as home!" ”

The Japanese artillerymen sat on the gun carriage, and when they saw Xiao Siming and the three of them standing on the side of the road, a young lieutenant raised his hand and saluted, and shouted feverishly: "Gentlemen, let's meet again at the shrine!" Shayanara! ”

Zhao Changshou squinted and looked at it for a while, and said to Xiao Siming in Japanese: "This is the unit of the 20th Division, it is said that the division commander is called Kawagishi Bunzaburo!" ”

Xiao Siming knew more about the situation of the 20th Division than Zhao Changshou, but he didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the Japanese convoy rumbling past in front of him, and the singing of Japanese soldiers echoed in his mind.

"Across the sea, across the mountains, corpses all over the field, sacrifice their lives for the emperor, and see death as home!"

The soldiers of the little devil's permanent division are really fanatical, completely brainwashed by Japanese militarism, not knowing that they are actually cannon fodder, and opening their mouths and closing their mouths to meet again at the shrine, they simply regard death as glory!

On the battlefield of Pingxingguan, the soldiers of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army were also fanatical, one by one, they regarded death as home, and did not surrender to death, but they did not expect that the 20th Division, whose combat effectiveness was one level worse than that of the Fifth Division, the soldiers were also so fanatical! Compared with them, the old devils of the 109th Division who recruited reservists are simply cowards!

Such a Japanese army can imagine how fierce it was when it launched an attack under the cover of aircraft, artillery and tanks!

Needless to say, this Japanese army was marching southward, and it seemed that the Japanese army's "pacification operation" had begun, and it was attacking southern and western Jinjin!

Xiao Siming silently calculated the time, today is the seventeenth day of the first month, that is, February 16th. In terms of time, this Japanese army should be the vanguard of the 20th Division going south to attack Linfen, and they should have started to attack Han Xinling, which was defended by the Lihuang Department of the Central Army on the 20th!

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Siming felt that it was time to speed up his actions, and there were many things to do, at least to get some equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal, some medicines, and medical equipment before destroying the Taiyuan Airport of the Japanese army. Especially the X-ray machine, Wang Dao doesn't know how many times he has muttered, looking forward to the X-ray machine like looking forward to Ganlin!

The Japanese troop convoy passed, and Xiao Siming led Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou to continue on the road!

After walking about two kilometers, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him.

Chen Desheng turned his head and saw that the five horses in front of him were five knights with black cotton hats, very colored cotton jackets and pants, armed belts, and shell guns, followed by a horse-drawn car, so he pulled Xiao Siming's arm, meaning that he could do it, get a few horses, and ride into the city.

Zhao Changshou was really familiar with the situation in Taiyuan, and after taking a look, he whispered to Xiao Siming in Japanese: "In front is the bodyguard of the famous Yan family in Taiyuan, and in the car behind is the Yan family's Miss Yan Rou." ”

Xiao Siming let out a "hmm" and looked at Zhao Changshou a little puzzled, meaning to let him say it in more detail.

Zhao Changshou said: "This Yan family is said to be the descendants of Xianbei nobles, settled in Taiyuan after sinicization, and there have been many celebrities in history, which can be regarded as a scholarly family." At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Yan family began to do business, that is, to sell tea, sugar, salt, and silk to Mongolia, and made a fortune. With the rise of the Republic of China, the ticket number industry struggled to survive in the warlord melee, and the run on the nascent bank, the Yan family's ticket number could not continue to operate, so they simply closed down and changed to the jewelry business. It is said that after Yan Xishan became the overseer of Shanxi, in order to raise military salaries and stabilize Shanxi's economy, he once received the Yan family's secret help. Later, after Yan Xishan was defeated in the Central Plains War and stepped down, the Yan family was hit hard, and their business shops in other places were looted by the rebels overnight. Not to mention the property, the people also died cleanly, and only the general number in Taiyuan City remained. Ding Buwang, the generation of the Yan family, has two young masters and a young lady. It is said that the two young masters both like equestrianism and tennis, and often live in Shanghai and do not come back, and the operation of the family is in charge of Yan Rou, the young lady of the Yan family. Before the 77 Incident, the Yan family's business had been transformed, and in addition to continuing to maintain jewelry accidents, their strength was mainly focused on operating automobile transportation and opening coal mines. ”

Xiao Siming became more and more puzzled, and asked, "Before Taiyuan broke the city, why didn't the Yan family retreat with Commander Yan?" ”

Zhao Changshou said that it was not clear, it may be that the family has a big business, and the monk can't run the temple if he runs away, so he can't withdraw it!

Xiao Siming muttered thoughtfully: "Being able to rush outside Taiyuan City with bodyguards equipped with shell guns, the relationship between the Yan family and the Japanese army should be good!" ”

Zhao Changshou didn't know about this, so he couldn't answer.

When the two of them were talking, the bodyguards of the Yan family rode to Xiao Siming and them, and they didn't stop, but quickly swept past Xiao Siming and them.

The car that followed did not stop, and also drove past Xiao Siming and them.

Chen Desheng said hatefully: "Seeing that the imperial army didn't get off the horse or stop, it seems that this Yan family is a big official who has a little devil, and he is a big traitor, and he can't look down on our disguised devil soldiers!" ”

There is truth to that!

Xiao Siming didn't speak, leading Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou to move forward.

didn't go far, and there were two crisp sounds of horn hook and horn hook at the bend of the road in front.

Xiao Siming instantly took out the Wang Ba box in the holster on his waist, pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet and loaded it, and then took out another Wang Ba box from the leather bag he was carrying diagonally, holding a pistol in each hand, and led Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou to run forward.

On the road leading to Taiyuan City, the bodies of the two bodyguards of the Yan family were lying, and the two war horses had already run into the field on the side of the road. The other three bodyguards were holding shell guns in their hands and holding war horses, blocking in front of the horse-drawn sedan, and the leading bodyguard was shouting: "We are from the Taiyuan Yan family, our master is from the Taiyuan Maintenance Association, we are friends of the imperial army, please don't misunderstand!" ”

About 300 meters on the opposite side, two Japanese three-wheeled motorcycles were parked. On the first three-wheeled motorcycle, there were three devils, one with a Type 96 machine gun; On a three-wheeled motorcycle in the back, there are two devils: one drives a motorcycle, and in the side pocket sits a little devil about 30 years old with a gloomy face.

Xiao Siming's pupils constricted suddenly, because he could see clearly that the 30-year-old devil sitting in the side pocket of the second three-wheeled motorcycle was holding a Japanese army's Type 97 sniper rifle in his arms!

The sniper rifle was tightly wrapped in strips of cloth, but the quadruple scope was not wrapped in strips of cloth, and Xiao Siming recognized it at a glance.

Although the Type 97 sniper rifle is an antique in the eyes of military fans in later generations, it has such and such shortcomings, but at this time, it is a sniper rifle that the Japanese army has just developed and produced in 1937, and its preciousness is self-evident!

Xiao Siming was a special operations elite before his soul crossing, and he used a sniper rifle. Now that I suddenly saw the latest sniper rifle of the Japanese army, the fate of these five little devils was instantly sealed!

The bodyguard at the head of the Yan family shouted hoarsely, but the little devil on the two three-wheeled motorcycles opposite couldn't understand the Chinese with the Shanxi accent he shouted, or he pretended not to understand, so he heard the devil driver on the first motorcycle shout in Japanese, "Eight Geya Road, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly!" ”

Xiao Siming understood as soon as he heard it, the five bodyguards of the Yan family were a little arrogant, and between galloping horses, they blocked the way of the devil's tricycle, annoyed the little devil, and shot and killed the two bodyguards!

Xiao Siming, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, glanced at the little devils on the two motorcycles again, and knew that the devils on the first motorcycle were acting as guards for the devil snipers on the second motorcycle, and they must have escorted this devil sniper to chase the devil convoy in front, and they should also go to participate in the "pacification operation" and attack Jinnan!

The little devil couldn't understand the Shanxi accent of the Yan family's bodyguards, and the Yan family's bodyguards couldn't understand Japanese, so no matter how much the little devils driving the tricycle roared, they didn't know what the devil meant, but they just rode horses to protect the horse-drawn sedan and shouted loudly, "We are friends of the imperial army!" ”

At this moment, the little devil sitting behind the driver of the first motorcycle raised his gun again, and when he heard the sound of "horn hook", a bodyguard of the Yan family fell from the horse, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

Another bodyguard of the Yan family couldn't hold back any longer, scolded "Wang Ba Lamb", his body fell down, stuck to the horse's back, and as soon as his legs were clamped, he rushed towards the little devil, and the shell gun in his hand also fired, "Da Da Da", "Da Da Da", and hit the devil on the tricycle with a burst of fire.

Such a distance was beyond the range of the shell gun, and the bullet could only fall on the road and burrow into the earth.

Listening to the devil machine gunner on the first three-wheeled motorcycle, the devil machine gunner laughed fiercely, "cluck", the Type 96 light machine gun rang out, and the horse was knocked to the ground in one fell to the ground, and one leg of the Yan family's bodyguard on the horse was pressed under the horse's corpse, and the shell gun in his hand also fell to the ground.

There was another "gurgling" sound, and the devil machine gunner fired several rounds in succession, and all the bullets hit the bodyguard of the Yan family who had fallen to the ground, and blood arrows spurted out of several blood holes at the same time, and he saw that he was not alive!
