At this time, Zhang Dafu was a little restless, and the reinforcements had been gone for nearly a month and a half, but there was still no news. Although Lieutenant Ishikawa and his infantry xiǎo team were there, it should be no problem to clean up a few bandits. But Zhang Dafu, who was cautious, was still very worried, after all, this group of bandits appeared too suddenly, and he had to guard against it

"Zhang Lian, where did you die? Any news? Zhang Dafu yelled at Mén.

Zhang Lian, the second housekeeper of the Zhang family, hurriedly ran in and said breathlessly: "Master, I just led my brothers to check outside the town, and the gunfire in the west seems to have stopped a long time ago, and there should be news soon." ”

"Stopped? Why did the war stop just now, didn't you hear it wrong? Zhang Dafu asked suspiciously, ten minutes ago, his subordinates came in to report, saying that they heard the sound of jiāo fire coming from the direction of Shilijing Village in the west, and it should be that Ishikawa Taijun and the group of bandits were on fire. But now Zhang Lian told him that the battle was over, and it seemed that the two sides had been on fire for only three or five minutes, which was really suspicious.

"Master, I, Zhang Lian, have been with my master for 20 years, don't you know my loyal master? Don't worry, we heard it right, it should be that those bandits are too bad, and our strength is too powerful, so we were all wiped out in a few minutes. Zhang Lian's imagination is still very good, but in his eyes, Zhang Qiuzhen's three or four hundred people dispatched this time are indeed very strong, especially the invincible Ishikawa Taijun in his heart.

Zhang Dafu thought about it, and what Zhang Lian said was very reasonable. As Zhang Lian said, it should be that the bandits' strength was too poor, so they were eliminated early. You must know that this time Zhang Qiuzhen can be said to be jīng sharp, plus the more than 100 people that Zhang Qing took away before, Zhang Qiuzhen dispatched a total of 423 people this time. Even if the bandits were strong, it was impossible to wipe out such a "huge" force in such a short period of time, not to mention that there was a complete infantry team of the Japanese army inside.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dafu suddenly felt a lot more relieved, he was a typical guy who betrayed the country and betrayed his ancestors and did all the bad things, so he regarded his life as more important than anything else. At that time, when Mr. Zhang was forced by the Japanese, in order to save his life, he began to contact the Japanese army, and repeatedly persuaded Mr. Zhang to agree to the Japanese demands. But they were all scolded back by Mr. Zhang, and in order to humiliate Mr. Zhang, the Japanese finally appointed Zhang Dafu as the president of Zhang Qiuzhen's maintenance association, and he himself did not refuse. When Mr. Zhang heard the news, he immediately lay down and died of depression half a month later.

And Zhang Dafu's next behavior is even more disdainful of the people of Zhang Qiuzhen, Liaocheng as the forefront of Shandong's anti-Japanese resistance, there has never been a shortage of anti-Japanese fighters, a large number of young and middle-aged people have joined the army, including the regular army that participated in the national government and the Eighth Route Army, and Zhang Qiuzhen has more than 60 military families. In order to curry favor with the Japanese, Zhang Dafu led his dog Tuǐzi to escort all the military dependents of more than 280 people, regardless of male or old, to the county seat of Yanggu County. Half a month later, more than 280 people were collectively slaughtered in the county seat of Yanggu County, and the corpses were hung on the city for more than ten days before they were thrown out.

After that, Zhang Dafu became famous overnight, but because his role was far inferior to that of Old Man Zhang, let alone the president of the maintenance association in Liaocheng, even the president of the maintenance association in Yanggu County did not give it to him, but only gave him a so-called deputy county magistrate and chairman of the maintenance association of Zhang Qiuzhen. At the same time, in order to appease him, he was also given a number of the plainclothes team and some weapons.

Although Zhang Dafu at this time already knew that he had fallen into the trap of the Japanese and was used by the Japanese in vain, he was already difficult to ride a tiger at this time. After doing so many unconscionable things, there is no turning back, and he can only die for the Japanese. However, Zhang Dafu is still very smart and knows what is the most fundamental thing to survive in the world. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy arms everywhere, whether it was long and short guns, light and heavy machine guns, or even mortars and grenadiers, as long as someone sold them, he would buy them. In just one year, Zhang Dafu's troops have expanded to more than 500 people, and they are fully equipped and have combat effectiveness.

With this force, Zhang Dafu can be regarded as really relieved, at this time there is no formed squadron in Shandong, and some of the remaining fish that have slipped through the net are really not his opponents Zhang Dafu. Therefore, Zhang Dafu's name can be said to be unique for a while, and even several big men in Yanggu County sent people to deliberately marry him, a "rising star". ,

The Japanese army also looked at Zhang Dafu differently because of his great increase in strength, although he had not yet officially given him a position to go out, but Chang Pei Shaozuo, the chief of the Yanggu County Garrison Brigade, had officially decided to expand Zhang Dafu's unit into an independent regiment of the Imperial Allied Army. Zhang Dafu served as the commander of this independent regiment, and for this reason, Amperey Shaozo even sent people to send 200 Zhongzheng rifles and four tǐng Czech light machine guns and two ménxiǎo steel cannons. Of course, Zhang Qing's arms also contained a cashier's check from Huāqi Bank, with an amount of 10,000 oceans, which Zhang Dafu gave to An Pei Shaozuo.

Hearing that the transport convoy had been robbed by bandits, Zhang Dafu was really taken aback. I was really afraid that this group of bandits who were not long-sighted would ruin his big business, so he implored Lieutenant Ishikawa to lead the troops to support. Although 10,000 oceans is not a lot of money for Zhang Dafu, if it makes Taijun Ampere unhappy, it will not be able to balance 10,000 oceans.

When Zhang Dafu was anxious, the second housekeeper Zhang Lian hurriedly ran in and said, "Master, master, good news, Ishikawa Taijun won the battle and captured fifty or sixty bandits. ”

"What, you see that it's really our people?" Zhang Dafu asked with some excitement.

"You can see clearly, they have reached the entrance of the town, and they are about to enter the turret. I thought that our people were coming back soon, so I said, who has the ability to defeat Ishikawa Taijun. Zhang Lian said flatteringly.

"Zhang Lian, you immediately go to the treasury to send two hundred oceans to Ishikawa, and by the way, buy two féi pigs from the town and send them to the turret, and when you see Ishikawa Taijun, you say that I will visit him immediately. Talk to the kitchen again, give the brothers more food and good wine tonight, and go. After speaking, Zhang Dafu walked quickly into his backyard, changed into a typical squire costume during the Republic of China, took a xiǎo delicate cane, wore a black sè top hat and walked out.

But as soon as Zhang Dafu left his house, he saw more than 200 strong men in civilian clothes walking towards him. Although he may not know all the more than 500 plainclothes people in the house, he can recognize most of the people who are familiar with them, but he doesn't know any of these people who are coming in front of him, and they look very unfamiliar, but there are still some people in the crowd who he is very familiar with, although they all look embarrassed, but they are indeed people from his Zhangfu, which will not be wrong.

However, Zhang Dafu didn't think about anything else, how could he come back with Lieutenant Ishikawa be pretended by someone else, he didn't think that Lieutenant Ishikawa was also pretended by someone else. Anyway, it's all my own subordinates, so ask what happened today, and talk about the final result of the treatment.

Zhang Dafu walked over with more than a dozen bodyguards to meet this group of "plainclothes teams", and when the two sides were still six or seven meters away, Zhang Dafu suddenly realized that something was wrong. Zhang Dafu clearly remembered that his plainclothes team was equipped with two shell guns, and almost none of them were equipped with spears, although Zhangfu also had a spear team, but this time it did not go out. The reason why Zhang Dafu did not equip many spears was that, on the one hand, the spears suffered a lot in melee combat, and the soldiers needed to have high tactical literacy. Secondly, the spears were too expensive, and there were no good goods, so Zhang Dafu would equip four-fifths of the plainclothes team with shell guns, and only one-fifth were equipped with spears. But Zhang Dafu found that the oncoming plainclothes team had a lot of spears, and Zhang Dafu knew Ishikawa very well, and it was impossible for him to share even a little bit of the captured booty.

"Stop, where is your captain? Liu Sanpao came out to Lao Tzu. Zhang Dafu shouted.

This group of plainclothes teams was dressed up by Wei Peng and others, and as for Han Yunhua and the guard Xiǎo team, they changed into the military uniforms of devils and killed the devil's turret. And he led the rest of the people to set foot in Zhangfu, but now it seems that someone has discovered the flaw.

Although Wei Peng didn't know the guys in front of him, he knew that the guy who was talking in the middle should have a very high status in the Zhang Mansion. Now that they have seen the flaws, then Wei Peng and the others have nothing to pretend to, I saw Wei Peng pull out the shell gun and raise his hand to shoot, and after shooting the guy who had just shouted in the head, he quickly rushed to the house.

Wei Peng's gunfire was the signal, and all the special combat team members also rushed in. I heard that the battle was won, and the whole Zhang Mansion is now peaceful, and most of the people went to prepare for the celebration banquet in the evening, and there were only a few people standing guard and chatting. In addition, when Wei Peng and the others came in, almost no one resisted and they were all captured. ,

At the same time, Han Yunhua's side also solved the battle. With more than 60 JĪNG Rui's special combat team members calculating or unintentionally, the only remaining 20 or so devils in the devil turret are not yet hand-to-hand. Han Yunhua and the others almost killed all the way in, starting from the four devils standing guard at the entrance of the turret, all the way to the third floor of the turret, Han Yunhua almost went up to the top to kill the first floor. And all of them used daggers to solve the battle, so until Han Yunhua and others took down the entire turret, no one knew that the turret of the Japanese army's Zhang Qiuzhen had changed hands.

After taking Zhang Qiuzhen, the first battle of Han Yunhua's troops going south to Shandong was completely over. Han Yunhua knew that the captain of the Japanese army in Yanggu County would definitely not give Han Yunhua much time, and from now on, the Japanese army would send troops to check here at a maximum of five xiǎo hours, so Han Yunhua had to withdraw from Zhang Qiuzhen as soon as possible.

Han Yunhua ordered Wei Peng and others to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, especially the huge wealth of Zhang Dafu's family must not fall, this is the first pot of gold for the troops in Shandong. At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered the troops to send out Guo Jianglong's bandit number as soon as possible, so that the people of Zhang Qiuzhen knew that there was such a bandit who fought devils and eliminated Han Jiān.

Two hours later, Han Yunhua led a convoy of more than a dozen carts and returned to Jingyanggang with more than 300 prisoners. In this battle, Han Yunhua's department dispatched four special combat teams, a total of more than 220 special combat personnel, which lasted three xiǎo hours, and completely annihilated all the Japanese puppet troops in Zhangqiu Town, Yanggu County. Among them, 88 people under Lieutenant Ishikawa, the captain of the Japanese army, were killed, and one artillery tower was destroyed. Killed 134 puppet soldiers under Zhang Dafu and captured 375 plainclothes squads. 73 38 large covers, 2 tǐng of crooked handle light machine guns, 1 tǐng of Type 92 heavy machine guns, 3 grenadier canisters, 219 medium formal rifles, 4 tǐng of Czech light machine guns, 2 tǐng of Makqin heavy machine guns, 694 barge guns, and 4 mortars were seized. There were more than 46,000 rounds of ammunition and 220 shells. At the same time, 380,000 pieces of the current ocean, more than 56,000 yuan of legal tender issued by the National Government, and a number of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were seized. In addition, a large amount of grain was also found in Zhang Dafu's warehouse and the warehouse of the Japanese army's artillery tower, and due to the limited transportation capacity, Han Yunhua used Zhang's carriage to load more than 40,000 catties of grain, and then gave all the remaining more than 200,000 catties of grain to the people of Zhang Qiuzhen.

Han Yunhua's department was very happy to win the first battle, but the commander of the Yanggu County Garrison Brigade, An Pei Ichiro Shaozuo, was now very angry, and Zhang Qing and the others had already arrived in Yanggu County according to the distance, but until now they still haven't seen anyone. However, Ampeiichiro Shaozo was not worried that Zhang Dafu would dare to deceive him, and Lieutenant Ishikawa had already called Zhang Qing before his convoy left. It's just that Ampei Shaozuo feels that Zhang Qing's ability to do things is too poor, and he can't do such a thing as escorting some money and grain, so it seems that he has to remind Zhang Dafu that it is better to use less such people in the future.

However, seeing that it was about to be one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiuzhen's convoy still had no shadow. At this moment, An Pei Shaozuo was in a hurry, grabbed the phone on the table and called Zhang Qiuzhen's turret. Ampei Shaozuo is ready to scold Lieutenant Ishikawa and let him beat Zhang Dafu well, this guy's ability to do things is really poor.

But all the busy tones came from the phone, and at this time, Ampei Shaozuo's heart trembled, and he suddenly had a lot of bad premonitions. Hurriedly shouted loudly to the guards outside Mén: "Guards, immediately order the cavalry xiǎo team to assemble and let them search in the direction of Zhang Qiuzhen. Report immediately in case of emergency, fast"

"Hai"

Half a xiǎo hour later, the Japanese cavalry xiǎo team found the bodies of Zhang Qing and others, followed by the bodies of Lieutenant Ishikawa and others. The captain of the cavalry xiǎo team did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent back two cavalry to report the news, while he led the cavalry xiǎo team to continue the search.

After listening to the reports of the two cavalrymen, An Pei Shaozuo was taken aback, when did such a strong force appear in Yanggu County. The squadron that can completely annihilate the Ishikawa Xiǎo team should be at least a complete infantry battalion, plus more than 100 corpses of the Imperial Cooperative Army at the scene, so what will be the number of this squadron, I think it should be no less than two battalions.

Two battalions of the Zhina troops appeared in their own defense area, which was okay, and An Pei Shaozuo immediately gathered his troops and went to Zhang Qiu Town. Now that the Ishikawa Xiǎo team has been shattered, then I think Zhang Qiuzhen has also fallen into the hands of the Zhina, but Zhang Qiuzhen still has a turret of the imperial army and Zhang Dafu's hundreds of people, and it seems that he is unwilling to be broken by the Zhina army so quickly, and An Pei Shaozuo still has a trace of luck in his heart at this time. ,

However, the reality is very cruel, when An Pei Shaozuo led two infantry squadrons to Zhang Qiuzhen, only the ruins of the ground remained. The former invincible imperial army turret can still be seen faintly, as for the mansion of Zhang Qiuzhen's largest landlord, the wealthy man, it has not been damaged in the slightest, but the things inside have been looted, and even the tables, chairs and benches have not been left. It turned out that after Han Yunhua and the others left, the people of Zhang Qiu Town saw that Zhang Dafu had been killed by bandits, so the people in the town ran to Zhang's house to grab things, as long as they could take everything away, even the beautiful big mén of Zhang's mansion was demolished, not to mention those tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans and other bits and pieces.

What made it most difficult for Ampei Shaozo to accept was that all the devils in Zhang Qiuzhen were brutally cut off and piled up, while the headless corpses were discarded aside, which was a provocation to the Great Japanese Empire. The Japanese who believe in Buddhism and Amaterasu believe that death is not terrible, and that dying in battle is the most glorious thing for a samurai. However, the Japanese are afraid of death without a complete body, especially the separation of the head from the body after death, and they believe that in this way the soul will not return to its homeland and will not return to the arms of Amaterasu.

Annoyed and angry, Ampei Shaozo ordered the soldiers to find a large pile of firewood to cremate all the soldiers killed in battle, and then collected the ashes and prepared to be transported back to Japan, where they were sent to the Yasukuni Shrine to be worshiped and worshiped by future generations. As for the bodies of Zhang Dafu and others, they were buried on the spot by digging a big pit at random, and they didn't even leave a single earthen bag.

Now Ampei Shaozo is like an angry bull, desperate to find the murderer who killed Zhang Qiuzhen's defenders. However, this matter is really easy to investigate, and all the residents of Zhang Qiu Town said in unison that the Taijun in the town was killed by a bandit army, and the leader of this bandit force seems to be called "Guo Jianglong" or "Guo Jianglong".

After listening to the report of the Ministry of Intelligence, Ampere Shaozo was furious that a reinforced Xiǎo team of the Imperial Japanese Army had been wiped out by a bandit, which would only make the Japanese Army lose face. Therefore, the gag order issued by An Pei Shaozuo said that Zhang Qiuzhen had been raided by a large force of guerrillas in China, and that a defender who had strengthened Xiǎo's team suffered heavy losses, but its strength was still there, and that an infantry regiment of the Imperial Allied Army was all broken. Ampei Shaozo knew that he would definitely be reprimanded by His Excellency the Brigade Commander for losing a Xiǎo team, and no one would care how many Imperial Allies died. At the same time, Ampei Shaozuo ordered to find the hateful Chinese bandits as soon as possible, and find them out and destroy them all, so as to bring shame to the Snow Emperor Army.
