During these more than 10 days, Sasaki ordered reconnaissance planes and intelligence departments to search for the mysterious troops hiding in the mountains, and at the same time dispatched troops to gather the troops that had just returned to the garrison to carry out a dragnet sweep, waiting for the arrival of the Eighth Wing of the Fourth Division attached to the Fourth Division that was resting in Jiamusi, and immediately preparing to enter the mountains as soon as it arrived. With the cooperation of the Manchurian Forest Police Brigade in Tangyuan and Jiamusi and the Manchukuo Army, they first carried out a dragnet sweep in the northern mountainous area of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in Tangyuan.

In view of the combat effectiveness of this group of Shina people, although they were also damaged in the last battle, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and after hesitating for a long time, Sasaki Toichi still decided to use the 8th Wing, which performed well in the Shimoe area, as the main force of this clearance. As for the main force in the Xiajiang area to suppress the anti-Japanese alliance, the military and police of Manchukuo were still used to coordinate operations.

In five days, the Manchukuo army, which had mobilized more than 8,000 people, came to the county town of Yubara, and Sasaki sent a squadron of troops to lead a battalion of Manchukuo troops to Heli Town to make a forward station for the encirclement and suppression army.

In Yubara, the temporary bandit suppression headquarters Sasaki and Yamaoka Michitake were studying the map, "Yamaoka-kun, you said that the branch of people who have been killed and injured can be more than there, your intelligence officers have been searching for a long time these days, and now they haven't even found their shadows, did they run away?" It will snow in less than a month, which will make it more difficult for us to find their traces, and it will also have an impact on the clearance troops. ”

"Your Excellency, please don't worry, I think this Chinese army must be resting in a hidden place in the mountains, although they used some small means to defeat us by luck, but they themselves suffered great losses, I estimate that they have at least nearly a thousand wounded, affecting their marching speed, as long as we wait for the arrival of the Eighth Wing, we will be able to pull them out of this area."

"Report, message from the 1st Division."

"Nani! Is he here to laugh at me? Sasaki took the message and said.

"Inside the temple, cunning Shina man."

"Your Excellency General, what did the commander of the Kimura Shohiro Division say in the telegram?"

"The leader of the bandits who fought against us is named Meng Qingshan, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 people, this person is good at guerrillas and raids, I think I know where they are hiding now." Sasaki said confidently.

"Your Excellency General, where did Meng Qingshan, the leader of the bandits, come from, isn't the army of China Zhao Shangzhi of Northern Manchuria and Yang Jingyu of Southern Manchuria?"

"This Meng Qingshan came out of a member of Xie Wendongjun's army who had just returned to us, and led less than 30 soldiers to fight with us around March this year, so far he has grown to thousands of people, which seems to be really in response to an old Chinese saying: "Heroes are born in troubled times." "But even if he is heroic and dares to resist our Imperial Japanese Army, I will make him a bear." Sasaki finished speaking, handed the long telegram in his hand to Michitake Yamaoka and said.

Seeing that there are not many deeds of Meng Qingshan written on the telegram, there are only two, but it is written that since he led the troops in March to the present seven months, he actually killed nearly 5,000 elite imperial soldiers, Yamaoka Daowu said: "This Meng Qingshan is our great enemy, we must destroy him, Your Excellency General, I think we should ask the headquarters to send a kamikaze special combat team that has just returned from training in Germany to solve this problem of our henchmen." ”

"Shangang-kun, your idea is very good, but don't you think it's overkill? You must know that that special combat team is the treasure of our military department, how can the trump card used to attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Guannai be used in this small place, see that I will wipe them all out here this time. Sasaki's right hand pressed heavily on the position of Fengxiang Fortress

In a bungalow in Harbin City, a Japanese woman with a big belly was stroking her belly while talking to herself: "The child doesn't know if your father knows that there is a child like you, you say that your father will come to us and my mother, and I don't know when he will come back, if he can come back, you will be able to talk when he comes, and you will not be frightened by then." At the same time, thinking about the bits and pieces of the days with Meng Qingshan for more than a month, he showed a sweet smile when he thought of being funny.

Keiko Murai's parents who saw themselves talking to themselves at the window were used to it, "Old man, you look like Keiko is crazy now, do you want to find her another husband." ”

"Who can marry her, a big-bellied mother-in-law, blame me, for not having much ability as a father, to let her become like this." After speaking, Taro Murai squatted on the ground and knocked on his head.

"Don't do this, old man, it's fate, or let's go back! It's not an option to stay here all the time. ”

"No, that wild old pervert in the village is still staring at my daughter, I can't let her fall into the fire pit again, I just let her be a widow, I will not let the wild old pervert succeed in raising her for the rest of my life, even if I die, let her brother Xiaogu continue to raise her."

"But we are running out of savings, and in a few months Keiko's child will be born, and I see that she is only five months old and has such a ridiculous belly, I guess it must be twins."

"It's okay, I'll go and discuss with my brother tomorrow morning, let him borrow some money to open a small restaurant, so that even if she gives birth to as many as I have, I will raise her, but I can't always talk to myself stupidly, let her be more active, and take her outside to relax when you are fine."

"Father, father," shouted a chubby Japanese boy in a Japanese military uniform, hurriedly running in with a newspaper in his hand.

"Smack!" Taro Murai gave the young man a slap in the face and scolded: "What are you yelling for, don't make a noise about your sister, if you frighten your sister and see that I don't pick your skin, what are you doing when you don't come back from training at this time, is it because you can't stand the suffering and become a deserter." ”

"Why, father, I saw my brother-in-law." Murai Kotani said.

"What? You see your brother-in-law, tell me where it is, let's get him back, your sister is pregnant, he actually left her and ran around, see if I don't kill him. After saying that, he grabbed Murai Kotani with a wooden stick in his left hand and walked outside.

After dragging for a long time without dragging, Taro Murai turned around and scolded with a gloomy face: "Why hasn't the rabbit cub left, what if I can't find it after a while in the ink?" ”

"Father, I saw my brother-in-law in the newspaper, not on the street."

"Nani! Show me how your brother-in-law is a wounded soldier and can be in the newspapers? Murai Taro grabbed the newspaper and saw a photo in the newspaper, there were many photos taken by people, one of them was his son-in-law, these people were wearing imperial clothes, Murai Taro thought it was a group photo of Meng Qingshan's original troops, nothing happened, walked to Murai Keiko's side, handed her the newspaper and said: "Keiko, don't be stupid, look at your man's photo, he is still alive and has not run away, one day Daddy will help you catch him back." ”

Murai Kotani on the side heard what his father said and only felt that his father's courage was great, if he let his father know that his brother-in-law is now the biggest anti-thief leader in Manchukuo, I don't know if he will say big things, fortunately, my father is illiterate, when I saw my sister excitedly picked up the newspaper and read it seriously, while reading it with tears, Murai Kotani made up his mind to catch the brother-in-law who abandoned his sister and ran to the mountains, so that he could admit his mistake in front of his sister, but if he wanted to catch his brother-in-law, he needed to be a big official, Otherwise, it is a question of whether he can save his brother-in-law's life at that time.
