In the Jiujiang City Defense Headquarters, Yamamoto sat on the sofa very frustrated and angry. Yoshino and more than 20 of his subordinates disappeared in one afternoon, no one alive or dead. It is unbelievable that in this bustling city of Jiujiang, the leader and subordinates of the imperial army's secret service specially used to deal with the resistance have disappeared for no apparent reason, which is also too terrifying.

The people who had been sent out to inquire came back to report that it was said that the last time someone saw Yoshino was in a small alley near the shore of Gantang Lake. Others say that when they see Yoshino, they seem to be chasing a dog, and so on.

"A dog? What kind of dog is it? Yamamoto asked.

"Probably a wild dog."

"Wild dogs? Yoshino-kun couldn't have moved the crowd to eat dog meat, right? Impossible, keep looking. ”

Later, I found out that Yoshino had found a black dog at the docks, and then they went to track the dog together. Later, they probably chased them into the alley near Gantang Lake, and then they all disappeared. Yamamoto grabbed his hair helplessly and shouted angrily:

"Hurry up and find Wu Yingqi and Peng Fugui."

After a while, Wu Yingqi and Peng Fugui came to Yamamoto's office. Yamamoto told them the information he had gotten.

Yamamoto asked:

"County Magistrate Wu, Director Peng, tell me what happened to Yoshino-kun?"

Wu Yingqi pondered for a moment and said:

"I think they must have been attacked by the Einsatzgruppen and all killed."

"All killed? Impossible, more than 20 people, all killed without firing a single shot? ”

"It's possible. The Einsatzgruppen must have been carefully prepared, and they must have reconnoitred Yoshino-kun's movements. Therefore, the blow was successful, and Yoshino-kun was not given a chance to fight back. ”

"It's incredible. Even killing more than 20 pigs is not so fast, so there will be some movement. Yamamoto sat down weakly.

"So, what's the matter with that dog?" Yamamoto thought for a moment and asked.

"That's definitely a very good hunting dog, it's very likely that someone among Yoshino-kun and them must know it, so the enemy used this dog as bait and lured Yoshino-kun and them to a place where it was easier to ambush, and the shot was surprisingly fast, clean and neat, and hit it with one hit, without any mud and water." Wu Yingqi said slowly, as if he had experienced it himself.

"It was brilliant, the attack was flawless, it was a beautiful sniper operation, it was perfect." Yamamoto couldn't help but praise his opponent.

"So, where are Yoshino-kun now?"

"The enemy must have sunk them into the Yangtze River, leaving no traces. If it were me, I would do the same, so that the enemy could not find any clues, and second, to deal a psychological blow to the enemy. ”

Yamamoto pondered for a while, and he suddenly felt that this Wu Yingqi was indeed very clever, in other words, he was very cunning, he underestimated him too much before, and he should be used well in the future. Especially now that Yoshino is dead, it's time for him to show his skills.

"Wu Jun, please sit down and speak. What do we do next? Yamamoto came over, personally poured tea for Wu Yingqi and Peng Fugui, and handed it to them with his own hands. The two hurriedly took it.

Peng Fugui said:

"Commander, I think we should start with that dog."

"The dog?" Yamamoto said suspiciously, "Now that there are wild dogs everywhere, how do you start investigating?" ”

"The words of County Magistrate Wu just now reminded me that the dog that was tracked by Yoshino-kun was indeed an excellent hunting dog, and it was certain that Yoshino-kun definitely knew this hound or its owner. Otherwise, Yoshino-kun would never have tracked it down. Peng Fugui took a sip of water from the teacup and continued.

"As far as I know, there are a lot of hunters in the Lushan area, and there are even more in the Minshan area not far from here. However, the subordinates felt that this dog must be owned by the Lushan Orion, because recently, Yoshino-kun had never left Jiujiang, so Yoshino-kun and they must have dealt with this dog on a specific occasion, so they would have an impression. Based on this, I dare to conclude that this dog should come from among the hunters of Lushan. ”

Yamamoto's eyes flashed with excitement, he didn't expect this Peng Fugui to be so powerful. He sat in front of Peng Fugui with great interest.

Peng Fugui went on to say:

"My family lives in Pengjiahe Village, at the foot of Lushan Mountain, and there are several hunters in our village, each of whom has at least one or several hunting dogs to help the hunters hunt. Therefore, I think that we should start with this hound and let it lead us to find and solve the mystery of Yoshino-kun's disappearance, and we must open a large net to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all the hunters, and then we will definitely be able to find our enemy, the Einsatzgruppen. ”

"Good! Director Peng is worthy of being a master. I'll put you in charge of this case now, and you can come to me directly if you need anything. After Yamamoto listened to Peng Fugui's words, the anger in his heart gradually calmed down.

"I want to expand the size of the security team in the county, otherwise we will only suffer if we encounter a slightly larger number of enemies." Wu Yingqi took advantage of the situation and said.

"Okay, you report the plan to me, and I'll approve it immediately. Guns, ammunition, and other supplies will be deployed to you immediately. Yamamoto immediately agreed to his request.

"We also need to increase the number of people in the police station......" Before Peng Fugui could finish speaking, Yamamoto waved his hand to interrupt him. Your police station is also the same as the security team of County Magistrate Wu, as long as you report the plan, I will approve it immediately. ”

Yamamoto went on to say:

"After the two of you go back, immediately draw up a specific investigation plan, and the sooner I solve the case, the better."

After the two Han Annihilation walked out of the gate of the Jiujiang Devil's City Defense Headquarters, they looked at each other and smiled. They know that although it is true to solve the case for the devil, the two of them also have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts. Both teams can be expanded, and they will not only strengthen themselves, but they will also be able to install their capable brothers. Then, Jiujiang is secretly their brother's. In the future, even if he is gone, whoever enters Jiujiang will have to rely on a few of their brothers?

The two of them called Liu Huanteng to go to Jiangzhou Hotel together, and they had to sum up their next move.

Xiao Xiong's special forces were really happy for several days because they were commended by the Commander's Department of the War Zone. Two days later, the rewarded ocean was also transported to Jiangxinzhou by water. Xiong Qiang was responsible for the distribution of the bounty and sent a special person to deliver the pension to each martyr's home. Xiao Xiong added all the bonuses awarded to him to the pension, and several other commanders of the Einsatzgruppen were ready to follow suit when they saw the commander doing this, but Xiao Xiong stopped them, but in the end, each insisted on giving 10 oceans before it was over.

During this time, Xiao Xiong began to practice marksmanship with Minghua and them, and he also learned some sniping skills, and he gained a lot. Especially in shooting at moving targets, Xiao Xiong's skills have made great progress. Li Minghua and Liu Junshan taught each other, Xiao Xiong studied hard, coupled with diligence, and his surname was very high, and soon the level of the three of them was almost average. The rest of the team was also training hard, and it didn't take long for another group of team members to be assigned to the Hunter Sniper Team, increasing the number of Hunter Team personnel to more than 100 people.

Due to the importance attached by the Ninth Theater Commander's Department to Xiao Xiong's special unit to resist the enemy in northern Jiangxi, the theater allocated a lot of weapons and ammunition, and ordered him to rapidly expand his troops, establish base areas, take the initiative to strike at the enemy, and cooperate with the combat operations of the main force in northern Jiangxi and northwest Jiangxi. Xiao Xiong ordered each team to recruit troops and horses during this time, and recruited many newcomers from Jiujiang, Xingzi, Ruichang, Huangmei, Susong and other places. Xiao Xiong has a special affection for the veterans who have been scattered, and he goes everywhere to find them. Because if these soldiers with rich combat experience are recruited, the training time can be reduced, and they can also be used as the backbone of the troops, so as to expand the ranks as quickly as possible.

Xiao Xiong's intelligence agency also grew rapidly, and on the basis of the original intelligence agency, he also set up intelligence groups in all counties in northern Jiangxi, gradually forming a relatively complete intelligence network. In particular, in Shahejie, Huanglaomen, Mahuiling, De'an, Tujiabu, and other places through which the Nanxun Railway passes, the intelligence agencies are very perfect. Not only that, but he also established underground power in various counties in northern Jiangxi, and was responsible for the local struggle against the enemy. According to the order of the Theater Commander's Department, Xiao Xiong established contacts with other guerrilla units remaining in northern Jiangxi to coordinate joint operations.

In view of the continuous growth of the troops, Xiao Xiong upgraded the previous six squadrons to squadrons, the original six squadron leaders were promoted to squadron leaders, and each squadron was subordinate to three squadrons, and all of them were combat units. The special water guerrillas in Wang Yantai and the Jiangxinzhou guerrillas were regrouped, and they were divided into Ruichang, Jiujiang, Hukou, and Pengze squads according to the section of the Yangtze River, and Poyang Lake squads were also formed based in Xingzi, including Duchang and Yongxiu, and other areas along Poyang Lake. Wang Yantai and Jiang Yongming are the captains and vice-captains respectively. Wang Yantai was in charge of water guerrilla operations, and Jiang Yongming was mainly responsible for the construction of water base areas in the northern section of the Yangtze River and the Poyang Lake area, as well as coordinating and cooperating with the navy's mine-laying brigade in water combat operations.

By the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Xiong's operations in northern Jiangxi had been fruitful, and the contingent had expanded to nearly 1,000 people, and the work of the Einsatzgruppen had been affirmed and praised by the Theater Commander's Department.

In addition, Wu Yingqi, Peng Fugui, Liu Huanteng and other Han anniversaries, with the support of the old devil Yamamoto, quickly expanded the ranks of the security team and the police station, and they planted their own henchmen and sworn friends into it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a large number of devils being transferred to Jiangxi, they attacked everywhere under the banner of raising military salaries and materials for the imperial army, looting the people's fat and ointment, and the puppet rule in Jiujiang became even more cruel, and the people were struggling to make a living.

The Han Jelders also did not relax their secret pursuit of the hunting dog that caused the disappearance of Yoshino's gang of devils.

Peng Fugui learned from the devils who participated in the Miaozhipu operation that before the battle began, two hunting dogs had entered the hidden positions of the devils and bit them, revealing their whereabouts and forcing the battle to start. However, the two dogs that attacked them were not killed. Of the two dogs they depicted, one of them was black and the other was yellow.

This news confirmed Peng Fugui's judgment that there were indeed hunters from Lushan in the Einsatzgruppen. He secretly sent his subordinates to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the hunters near Lushan to find out the situation of these hunters, especially to pay attention to their hunting dogs, to see if they were still staying at home.

After careful investigation, there are indeed many hunters in the vicinity of Lushan who are not at home, and their families told the security team and the police that these people are no longer at home, some have gone out to do things to make a living, and some have died. At present, only a few villages on the mountain have not been checked.

Peng Fugui felt that the time to solve the case was not far away, and he asked his subordinates to continue to search for those Orions who were likely to be the Einsatzgruppen.

After a few days, he finally targeted a small village on Lushan Mountain.

Since the battle of Dalin Temple in Lushan, Li Minghua and Liu Junshan have never been to Lushan and have never returned home. The brothers and sisters who have been away from home for a long time are very homesick, especially after Yaohua's death, they miss Lushan's home even more.

Xiao Xiong heard that the brothers and sisters wanted to go home, and he also wanted to go out to see the situation, so he immediately agreed to their request. He took more than 20 brothers from the hunters' team, rowed a few fishing boats, and quietly crossed the Yangtze River from Fujiazhou to Poyang Lake. Along the way, they avoided the devil's patrol boat, and did not take Gutang Town, which was heavily defended by the devil's troops, but went ashore near Centipede Ridge. They first went to Haihui Temple, and from there they crossed the Five Old Peaks.

Before dark, they came to the vicinity of Guling Street, and not far away was the small village of Minghua and their family.

Seeing that they were about to get home, Black Tiger and Er Huang seemed more excited than people, and they ran all the way to the direction of the village.

However, after running not far, the two of them suddenly lay down in the grass, crawling forward quietly, their tails wagging slowly, their eyes vigilantly watching not far ahead, quietly waiting for Minghua and their arrival.

"Not good, there is a situation." Seeing this, Minghua motioned for everyone to squat down quickly. He removed the rifle from his body and loaded the bullet. Checking the pistol pinned in front of him again, the cat ran forward with his waist bent. Xiao Xiong and Liu Junshan followed closely behind him and came to the side of the two hounds.

Not far from the entrance of the village, there was a large ambush on the left, about 100 people. On the right, there are also nearly 100 puppet army security guards and police officers dressed in black. I saw a group of devils setting up mortars and machine guns, and it seemed that they were going to attack the village soon.

In fact, when the enemy had just arrived, the village chief Li Zuquan already knew, because the hunting dogs in the village had already smelled the danger. Instead of howling, they walked back and forth in a restless and restless manner, a low roar coming from their throats.

Li Zuquan came to the hillside behind the village, only to see that in the setting sun, a large group of devils and puppet soldiers were running in the direction of the village. He hurriedly called the old man and the woman, took the children and prepared to retreat. He also called the remaining 10 or so men in the village, brought shotguns, bows, crossbows, animal clips, etc., and hurried to the entrance of the village to decorate, so as to gain a little more time, so that the women, children, and children in the village could be transferred out. After arranging, they lay down by the low stone wall at the entrance of the village and waited for the enemy to arrive.

Soon, the enemy at the entrance of the village began to attack. The puppet soldiers rushed straight into the village with guns in hand, and the little devils of the brigade followed them closely.

Li Zuquan and other devils rushed not far from the wall and shot first. only heard the sound of "pop", and a devil officer who commanded the devil's attack with a war knife fell to the ground. At the same time, more than a dozen shotguns fired almost simultaneously. After a burst of gunfire, more than 10 more devils were knocked down.

The puppet army that rushed in front heard the gunshots, turned around and fled on both sides of the road. However, a scream came from the grass and the woods by the roadside. It turned out that some of the puppet soldiers who hid on the side of the road were caught by the beast clip, and they desperately blocked the steel clamp and tried to open it. Some fell into the trap and were either pierced through the chest or stomach by a sharp bamboo stick on the spot and died, or pierced through the legs and feet, howling inside. Others were killed on the spot when they were shot with poison-soaked crossbow arrows. The worst thing was the puppet army who was hung in the air by the rope around their necks, and when they saw them struggling in mid-air, they kicked their legs, spit out half of their tongues, stared at their bulging eyes, and did not move.

Those puppet soldiers who were not recruited saw the puppet army hanging in the air, and heard the screams of crying father and mother around them, and wished that his father and mother would give him a few more legs, and turned around and fled desperately to the back. And the shotgun bullet in the back is like an eye, and the bullet is fatal. Of the more than 30 puppet soldiers who rushed to the front, only a few escaped back.

As soon as the devils saw that there were preparations in the village, they all withdrew. Heavy shelling ensued the village, and all the machine guns opened fire on the village. After a while, puffs of smoke rose from the village, and the fire burned. The cries of women and children were heard in the village.

Just when the devil launched a charge, Xiao Xiong also ordered the team members to quietly move forward, preparing to attack the puppet army lying in ambush on the right side of the village entrance, and then take advantage of the situation to rush into the village.

At this moment, there was a burst of shotgun gunfire in the village, and Minghua knew that Daddy and they were already prepared. At this time, the charging devils and puppet soldiers suddenly retreated. Immediately afterward, the devils began to shoot frantically at the village.

"Fire! Charge! Xiao Xiong immediately gave the order.

A platoon of gunfire rang out, and the devils and the puppet army fell into a large area.

"Bomber guns and machine guns!" Everyone threw dozens of grenades at the mortar and machine-gun positions of the devils in unison. With the sound of explosions and rising smoke, Black Tiger and Er Huang took the lead and rushed towards the puppet army gate. The two of them were biting the puppet soldiers as they roared and rushed into the village. Xiao Xiong and the others also rushed into the village with the two hounds, and joined Li Zuquan.

Xiao Xiong saw that the devil's fierce shelling just now had killed several hunters and injured a few others. He didn't care about saying anything, and immediately ordered the hunter team to take over the position, block the enemy, and let Li Zuquan lead the group to retreat.

The other hunters all supported each other and withdrew, leaving only Li Zuquan, no matter how Xiao Xiong and Minghua persuaded him, he refused to retreat. He just said one sentence repeatedly: "The devil who said the dog, you ruined my village, and Lao Tzu fought with you." ”

It is estimated that most of the devil's mortars have been blown up, and now only sporadic shells hit the positions. The people of the village are retreating down the mountain in an orderly manner.

It turns out that the location of this small village is very unique, only the only path enters from the entrance of the village, which is flanked by steep slopes and overgrown with very lush trees and weeds, which is simply impassable. After entering the village, there is a slightly flat valley, and the houses of the villagers are built here. Behind the village is a deep valley with trees. People in the village usually enter and exit from the village entrance. I don't know who stumbled upon a way out of the valley to get down to the middle of the valley through a long ladder, and there was a very deep and large cave in the cliff that could accommodate hundreds of people.

One by one, the people of the village went down to the cave.

At the entrance of the village, the battle was extremely fierce, and there were less than ten hunters left in the team of more than 20 people, and Li Zuquan was already seriously injured. Minghua bandaged his father's wound with tears in his eyes, and he told his father about Yaohua's death. Li Zuquan laughed after hearing this:

"There's a kind! is worthy of being a good son and grandson of my old Li family! Good! All right! After saying that, he turned over and picked up his gun and kept shooting at the devils who rushed up. Although he was wounded, his hand holding the gun was very steady, and his marksmanship was wonderful, almost the key point of the gun hitting the devil.

But after all, there are too many devils, and there are only four people left on the position: Xiao Xiong, Li Zuquan, Li Minghua, and Liu Junshan, and Heihu and Erhuang are guarding the injured Lao Li, licking Lao Li's wounds from time to time. They were unfazed.

Taking advantage of the gap when the devil's attack was repulsed again, Lao Li asked Minghua to withdraw with Xiao Xiong and Liu Junshan, but Minghua refused to evacuate. Taking advantage of Minghua's inattention, Li Zuquan smashed his son unconscious with the butt of his gun, put his shotgun on his son's body, and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

The devils attacked again, and they knew that there were not many people left to resist. Xiao Xiong and the others took one last look at Lao Li, gritted their teeth and turned to leave. Behind them rang out fierce gunfire and grenade explosions. After a while, they went down to the cave, but they were still waiting for Lao Li.

On the position at the entrance of the village, Lao Li added several wounds to his body. Under Lao Li's orders, Heihu and Erhuang delivered the guns, bullets and grenades of the sacrificed hunters and warriors to Lao Li with their mouths.

Li Zuquan is just holding on to it with the last will in his life. He picked up the last grenade, lifted the lid, pulled the string, and he was just about to throw it when one of the enemy's bullets hit, and the grenade fell to his side.

Suddenly, Er Huang rushed to the middle of the devils who pounced on him with a grenade that was about to explode with his mouth. There was a loud "boom", and Erhuang and the devil died together.

Li Zuquan touched the head of the black tiger who had been lying there staring at him, and pointed in the direction of the village with the last bit of strength, and closed his eyes. The black tiger whined and cried, and it found a cigarette purse in Li Zuquan's pocket, held it in its mouth, and rushed towards the village.

"Look, Hound Dog! It's this hound. The devil who had seen the black tiger before exclaimed.
