Kazuo Yamaguchi received a secret telegram from the military headquarters that the emperor was hatching a plan to capture Wuhan, an important town in the Central Plains, and instructed Kazuo Yamaguchi to do everything possible to eliminate bandits in eastern Hubei and cooperate with the large army to attack Wuhan.

Before Kazuo Yamaguchi entered the Meihe River, he had an understanding of the enemy situation in eastern Hubei.

At present, there are two active teams in the southeastern part of Hubei Province, one of which is the Hubei-Henan-Anhui guerrilla force. The Hubei-Henan-Anhui guerrillas are the most resolute in resisting Japan, and they are the most troublesome team in the Japanese military department. This force was not only large in number, but also had an excessively long front in the Dabie Mountains. Dabie Mountain is densely forested, and it is not easy to encircle and annihilate it at once. This team is the target of extermination.

The other is the bandit team of Dawang Mountain. If you are a bandit, you will be dissatisfied with the current situation, and you can be a target to win over. Kazuo Yamaguchi didn't pay much attention to this team, but they killed his subordinates one after another, which made Kazuo Yamaguchi angry. Although the bandits of Dawang Mountain have a stronghold, they rely on the dangers of the mountains and forests and the familiarity of the mountains, even if they go out, it is estimated that they will not be able to achieve any effect.

Kazuo Yamaguchi decided to go ahead with the envisioned plan.

"Watanabe-kun!"

Watanabe let out a sigh and ran over, straightening up and staring at Kazuo Yamaguchi.

"Please advise!"

Kazuo Yamaguchi paced, swept the sun flag on the front wall and the banner of Wuyun's long history, pondered, and said slowly: "Watanabe-kun, according to reliable information, the Hubei-Henan-Anhui guerrillas have signs of moving towards the Meihe River, and they have to be guarded against. ”

Dozens of county towns in southeastern Hubei will come from which direction, Kazuo Yamaguchi is not sure.

Watanabe said contemptuously: "A few teams with broken guns, Yamaguchi-kun doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

Kazuo Yamaguchi waved his hand: "No, Watanabe-kun, you are too careless." If it were to fight head-on, it would be three or five such teams, not under the words of the Imperial Japanese Army. But they are all rats, and they can't figure out where they came out, so they give us a cold guard, and the Dawang Mountain Volunteers, if they join forces, there will be a lot of trouble. ”

"Then let's exterminate the bandits of Dawang Mountain first!"

Kazuo Yamaguchi shook his head: "It's not that easy, if we send troops, they will escape." Dawang Mountain is high and densely forested, and to catch them is tantamount to catching a needle. Yours is not the right plan. ”

Watanabe's heart was a little disdainful. Was Kazuo Yamaguchi scared by Zong Tao?

"Yamaguchi-kun, the North China battlefield has given us a lot of useful inspirations, we can build artillery towers and strongholds, and we can divide the guerrillas. The Imperial Cooperative Army is not small, and they can serve. ”

When Kazuo Yamaguchi saw Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu present, he couldn't speak, and scolded in his heart: This bullshit emperor alliance army is still a plate of loose sand, relying on them to take the lead, a big bad thing.

"The Imperial Association Army has just been established and has not yet been trained. Luo Jun, your intensified training! ”

Luo Youfu hurriedly replied: "Yes, Taijun!" ”

"Yours and Zhou's are busy with your business."

Luo Youfu saluted and left in a hurry. Zhou Yongsheng saw that Kazuo Yamaguchi had ordered the general, and he had to go out. Zhou Yongsheng was resentful, Kazuo Yamaguchi was like a boar, and Lu Binghua was miserable, but Kazuo Yamaguchi wouldn't let her go out. When Kazuo Yamaguchi had a whim, he vented on Lu Binghua, and Zhou Yongsheng could only turn a blind eye.

Now it's the meat on the chopping board, the chicken in the cage, what can Zhou Yongsheng do?

After Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu were gone, Kazuo Yamaguchi glanced at the right wing, lowered his voice and said: "Watanabe-kun, mine, I have already arranged for the black fox to lurk in Dawang Mountain, but there has been no news from him, is it exposed that he was killed by mountain bandits?" ”

This top-secret plan, Kazuo Yamaguchi only told it, and Wataru was taken aback.

"Yamaguchi-kun, did you make a plan earlier?"

Kazuo Yamaguchi nodded: "The bandits of Dawang Mountain can entrench in the cottage for so long, they must not be an ordinary team." The Hubei-Henan-Anhui guerrillas were too well guarded and did not have a definite territory, so it was difficult for our men to penetrate them. But Dawang Mountain has a fixed goal, so I won't let go of this opportunity. ”

"Then why is there no news from the black fox?"

Kazuo Yamaguchi couldn't answer.

"Watanabe-kun, your Chinese is very good, and you also know a little about the customs and customs of China, so I want to send you up the mountain."

"Up the mountain?" Watanabe was taken aback. It was a bunch of bandits, moody, and they all got into it.

Kazuo Yamaguchi saw Watanabe's timid appearance, and laughed: "Watanabe-kun, you are too worried, according to Zhou and Luo, these mountain bandits are only greedy for money, not for their lives, rest assured." ”

"But I'm Japanese." The death of eight subordinates was extremely miserable, and Watanabe was terrified when he thought about it.

Kazuo Yamaguchi snorted: "Yours, big confused!" You're not Japanese, you're a businessman. I have prepared two German-made pistols for you, and the copycat bandits will never see such a good gun. Give them a great gift, Watanabe-kun, you are their honored guest. ”

Watanabe Mao was stunned: "I understand, I pretend to be a businessman of Zuo'ai Country, get close to them, and gain their trust." ”

Kazuo Yamaguchi nodded with a smug smile and said, "You have two things to do when you go up the mountain, one is to check if the black fox is in the cottage, and the other is that if you can persuade them to come down, it will be a miracle!" ”

"Who is the Black Fox?"

Kazuki Yamaguchi glanced at the other devils and attached it to Watanabe's ear.

Watanabe nodded frequently and sighed.

Kazuo Yamaguchi beckoned, and a little devil brought a delicate small suitcase, and when he opened it, he saw that it was two shiny barge guns. There are also dozens of gold bars.

Watanabe was stunned: "Yamaguchi-kun, give them such a valuable gift?" ”

Kazuo Yamaguchi smiled weirdly: "These are all small!" Being able to buy them and not go against the Imperial Japanese Army is nothing. ”

Watanabe was a little unconvinced.

Kazuo Yamaguchi said, "Even if they are not used by me, as long as I convince them not to oppose the imperial army, it will be a miracle." These mountain bandits are poor, gold bars, and they are very powerful! ”

Since Kazuo Yamaguchi was so confident, Watanabe had to go back to his room and change into the clothes that Kazuo Yamaguchi had prepared. After a while, Watanabe came out, dressed in a blue silk robe and a black top hat. Dressed like a businessman, a few devils laughed.

"Wonderful, Watanabe-kun is the most stylish businessman in Shina!"

Watanabe carried a suitcase, walked out of the city gate, and walked in the direction of Dawang Mountain.

Dawang Mountain is famous, and Watanabe inquires as he walks. Two hours later, they arrived at the mouth of Wangzhai. He looked at the lone peak of Zhanqi Village and smiled slightly.

The rape was covered with green pods, and the wheat was half a man's height; A stream is half a ditch of clear water, gurgling slowly. Watanabe looked at the winding stream and was undecided.

Zhanqi Village is more than ten miles away, the mountains are reckless, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and Watanabe does not know which way to enter. There are very few farmers on the Okikata, and Watanabe asks no one.

Watanabe is like a headless fly, spinning around the mouth.

Suddenly, two young men with spears on their backs rushed out of the mountains next to Okika, and pointed their guns at Watanabe.

"Don't move! What do you want to do? ”

Watanabe looked up and was surprised and delighted.
