He and Hao Mengxuan pretended to be agents of the Iwai Mansion, and this matter could only deceive the devil officers in Fukan Town and Houji, as for deceiving the transition side, Liu Tianshu never thought about it. Even the Japanese army captain Noeda Shaosa, he was not sure that he could deceive.

At Watanabe's level, he naturally knows much more about the various secret services of the empire than the junior officers, and maybe at this time, Watanabe is already checking with the Iwai Mansion through the radio.

When he was passing by Jing Dazhuang's defense area, while drinking alcohol, he heard Jing Dazhuang say that the Japanese devils had set up a new spy agency in Shanghai, called the Iwai Mansion, which was specially responsible for intelligence work in the fields of culture, education, and diplomacy.

After receiving the task of receiving patriotic students, Liu Tianshu had an idea, and made up an identity for himself Ichiro Shimizu, and at the same time made a secret agent certificate issued by the Iwai Mansion for himself.

The people of the Iwai Mansion are mainly active in the south and rarely come to Shandong, but this group of patriotic students and overseas Chinese came from Shanghai, which can be regarded as being related to the business of the Iwai Mansion, and it is reasonable for the Iwai Mansion to send capable personnel to track it all the way.

It's just that Watanabe, as the co-captain of the main division of the Japanese army, should not be easy to deceive. When he learned that he was going north by car from Fukan Town, he would definitely ask someone to investigate and verify with the Iwai Mansion.

However, according to Liu Tianshu's estimate, during the period when he traveled from Fukan Town to Houji and then from the Wolf's Tooth Valley to the north, even if Watanabe had any suspicions, he would not have been confirmed from the Iwai Mansion so quickly.

Sure enough, as Liu Tianshu expected, when he and Hao Mengxuan drove their cars westward for 70 kilometers and finally had to leave their cars without fuel in the mountains, Watanabe received a telegram from Shanghai, confirming that there was no person named Shimizu Ichiro in the Iwai Mansion.

The conjecture was confirmed, which made Watanabe very angry, his two brigades had formed a siege of the Fuyashan base area, and at this time, someone pretending to be the Iwai Mansion appeared, and this person had successfully passed the defense line of the Wolf's Tooth Valley, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Could it be that the person pretending to be an imperial agent is Liu Tianshu, if he is in a hurry to return north, he must know that the Imperial Japanese Army is about to sweep the Fuyashan base area.

In that way, the radio station lost by the Fujisa team can be determined to have fallen into the hands of Liu Tianshu.

It is a pity that the Noeda Brigade is closely arranging defenses along the line of the Wolf's Tooth Valley to prevent the group of college students from escaping to Fuya Mountain, and the main force of the rest of the troops is concentrated around Fuya Mountain, and only wait for four o'clock in the afternoon to launch a full-scale attack on the area occupied by the Eighth Route Army of Fuya Mountain.

Watanabe looked at the map for a long time, and finally ordered Noeda to send a team to pursue the Wolf's Tooth Valley in a car, and at the same time ordered the strongholds along the line, and when they saw the car, they all forcibly detained it with people and cars, and if they encountered resistance, they would all be killed.

After arranging for someone to pursue the people who were pretending to be Imperial agents, Watanabe thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to launch an attack on the anti-Japanese base of Fuyashan an hour in advance.

After Zhu Aiguo received Liu Tianshu's telegram, he immediately followed Liu Tianshu's instructions and ordered Yang Donghu and Hua Xiaohu to quickly shrink the defensive line, and at the same time asked Yang Donghu to order all villages to organize the villagers to prepare for the safe transfer of the villagers.

After confirming that more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops, commanded by Japanese army captain Saito, were approaching Songkan Town with a murderous spirit, Zhu Aiguo immediately ordered Yang Donghu to organize the cadres of the Songkan Town District Committee and District Government to withdraw to Fuya Mountain, and at the same time, the militia of each village also began to organize the villagers to retreat from Fuya Mountain.

As for the first and fourth companies, as well as the district team formed by Yang Donghu in Songkan Town, they were concentrated in Yang Donghu's hands, ready to have a good time with the devils in the mountains and forests of Songkan Town.

Although there are more than 1,000 enemies, Songkan Town is more than 50 miles in radius, and there are mountains and forests everywhere, and it is not easy for the little devils to catch them.

Yang Donghu ordered Hua Xiaohu's fourth company to stay in Songkan Town to wage guerrilla warfare with the devils, while he commanded the troops to avoid Saito's edge and quietly rushed to the Maotang stronghold in accordance with Zhu Aiguo's order.

According to the battalion commander, you beat yours, I beat mine, after the masses in various villages and the party members and cadres in Fukan Town withdrew, Yang Donghu was able to loosen his burden, and he could easily fight with the devils.

Rushing from the direction of Pingyuan Town to Shigou Village was another brigade of Watanabe, the captain of which was Oda Tashiro, whose brigade had not yet fought with the independent battalion, and he did not know the strength of the independent battalion at all. This time, Wing Captain Watanabe put him in charge of commanding operations on the Western Front, and he secretly laughed in his heart that Wing Captain was making a fuss. There are less than 1,000 people on the Tuba Road in Fuya Mountain, and the Imperial Army alone has dispatched more than 1,500 people in this sweep, plus the Imperial Association Army that cooperates with the battle, the total strength is as high as 2,400 people.

However, an order is an order, since the joint commander gave a combat order, he could only obey it, and after arriving in Pingyuan Town, he immediately asked Zhang Deming, the commander of the Imperial Association Legion who cooperated with the operation, to send troops to search the surrounding villages.

After receiving the order of the wing commander to launch an attack in advance, he immediately commanded the troops to leave Pingyuan Town and go straight to Shigou Village.

The one who rushed to the front, as usual, was the Imperial Association Army named after Zhang.

Zhang Deming rode a black horse and followed Oda Tashiro riding a tall Oriental horse, pointing to the surrounding mountains from time to time to introduce the situation.

When he saw that he was less than five miles away from Shigou Village, gunshots suddenly rang out in front, and then he saw a puppet army running over panting.

"Report to the regiment commander, the eighth road has been found on the hill ahead, and the first battalion has already fought with the eighth road."

The interpreter next to him immediately told Oda Tashiro about the situation, and when Oda Tashiro heard that the Dohachi Road had been found on the hill in front of him, he immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted Yo Xi, and ordered a squad of Japanese troops to move forward quickly, and use the fastest speed to eliminate the Dohachi Road that dared to block the imperial army, and clear the way for the march into Shigou Village.

A squad of Japanese soldiers received the order and immediately rushed to the front.

When I arrived at the hill in front, I saw that the first battalion named by Zhang was exchanging fierce fire with the Tuba Road blocking on the hill in front, and the two sides were fighting inextricably, but although the gunfire was fierce, the progress of the first battalion was not great.

When the leader of the devil squad saw this scene, a trace of contempt flashed on his face, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, and then with an order, more than fifty devil soldiers followed behind the Imperial Association Army and rushed towards the hill in front.

When these devil soldiers ran only 200 meters away from the mountain, the grenadiers immediately began to prepare for the bombardment, and at the same time, the machine gunners of the squad also began to look for positions and prepare for fire suppression.

Although the Tuhachi Road in front of him occupied a favorable terrain, the Japanese squad leader believed that with the strong combat effectiveness of the brave and fearless Imperial soldiers, it would be easy to destroy the Tuhachi Road on the hill.

Sure enough, as the cannonballs from the grenadiers exploded on the top of the mountain, the firepower of Tubalu suddenly weakened, and then the leader of the devil squad waved his knife forward, and countless devil soldiers rushed forward while shooting, even with those imperial alliance troops.

Guarding the top of the hill was a platoon of the second company, because the people of Shigou Village had not yet all withdrawn into the mountain, Jin Zhenbiao had to order a platoon to block the hill south of the village.

The platoon commander saw that the devil had rushed to the front of the Imperial Alliance Army in the blink of an eye, and immediately waved his pistol and shouted loudly, and the soldiers guarding the hill immediately raised their guns and shot at the devil.

The attacking devils were hit by the rain of bullets poured on the hill and had to lie down, and for a while, the two sides launched a fierce fire in front of the hill.

Most of the soldiers of the second company were veterans who had considered the war, and when they saw that the devils stopped attacking and just blindly shot at each other, they immediately carefully lay down in the trenches, aiming at the devils and constantly shooting.

Seeing that there was only a little light fire on the hill, the attacking devils gradually became bolder, and the two crooked machine guns began to move forward, along with the grenadiers.

At this moment, a row of two grenadiers attached to it finally began to speak, only a few soft sounds were heard, and the shells carried a vengeful fury. Fly straight towards the grenadier position and light machine gun position of the devil.

The devil machine gunner, who was firing vigorously at the top of the mountain, heard the sound of a cannon whistling overhead, his face suddenly changed, and he grabbed the crooked handle and was about to run to the side, but unfortunately it was still half a second late, and the shell fell from the sky and landed right in front of him, and then with a bang, the devil's crooked machine gun was blown up and flew into the air, and the devil's machine gunner fell in a pool of blood.

At the same time that the devil's two crooked handles were knocked out, the devil's grenadier position was also retaliated by a platoon, and two shells fell on the grenadier position, and as the explosion sounded, the devil's four grenadiers were directly blown away.

Two grenadiers in a platoon fired six shells each in the blink of an eye, and then immediately began to move.

As soon as the grenadier walked ten meters, the shells fired by the 92nd infantry cannon of the devil fell from the sky.

The platoon commander saw that the devil's infantry artillery began to bombard, and was about to direct the soldiers to hide, when the messenger ran to report that the company commander Jin ordered them to retreat.

The platoon commander immediately shouted to retreat, and quickly ran to the back of the mountain with the soldiers.

However, a small scale of resistance still left twelve warriors lying on that small hill forever.

Jin Zhenbiao withdrew from Shigou Village with the Second Company, and was just about to go around to the side of the devil, when a messenger from the battalion headquarters came and said that the instructor had ordered the Second Company to quickly withdraw to Xiaotangba Village, and cooperate with the Third Company to hold the Xiaotangba position and ensure the safety of the base area.

After listening to the order conveyed by the correspondent, Jin Zhenbiao couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the correspondent and said, "You're not mistaken, the instructor ordered us to retreat to Xiaotangba?" ”

You must know that in the morning, the instructor's instructions on the phone still asked his second company to avoid the front of the devil and look for an opportunity to attack the enemy from the flank after covering the transfer of the villagers in Shigou Village. (To be continued.) )
