Chapter 239: Battle of the Dragon River (3)
The various squads and squadrons that received the order, under the leadership of their respective commanders, began to search for the camping of their troops. Of course, the houses of those big families are the targets of the Japanese army, and those big houses are also places that can accommodate the Japanese army, anyway, the big houses are generally the houses of the rich families in the town.
The captain of a brigade of devils came to a big house with his soldiers, and looked at the huge red lacquered gate, and the captain immediately decided to use this place as his station, so as to show his identity.
"You take your soldiers in and scout and see if there are any activities of the Zhina." The Japanese captain pointed to a military cao beside him and ordered.
"Hey!" Jun Cao, who received the task, looked at the huge house in front of him, and couldn't help but be happy, such a big house, there must be a lot of good things in it, he brought people in to investigate, and he found good things, so he could keep them first, thinking of this, Jun Cao immediately smiled and agreed.
Soon, under Jun Cao's order, more than a dozen devils walked out of the formation and wanted to walk towards the compound in front of them. "You, you, you two, bang on the door." Jun Cao pointed to the two strongest soldiers in front of him and ordered. After receiving the order, the two devils put their rifles aside, shouted slogans, and slammed their bodies against the red paint gate together.
With the sound of the friction of the door skills, the red lacquer gate slowly opened to the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire under the repeated impact of the two soldiers. Looking at the larger and larger crack in the door, more than a dozen soldiers of the avant-garde were all happy, and they rushed to the gate, and were about to break open the gate in one go, when the red lacquer gate was slowly opened. I saw a middle-aged man with a fat figure come out and shouted to the group: "Taijun is good." I'm the mayor of this town, and I don't know if Your Excellency needs help here. The contemptible people will do their best to do it. "As soon as Wang Mancang went up, he was flattering.
"Nani! You're the mayor of this town? ”
"Yes, yes."
"What about the people in your town?"
"Taijun, don't you know, not long ago, a group of anti-Manchu forces came, propagating the ugly imperial army everywhere, sabotaging the plan of co-prosperity in Greater East Asia, and deceiving all these ignorant villagers, I tried my best to stop them or was beaten like this, I looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to the Taijun, and the end of this group of anti-Manchu forces is coming."
"I think the Imperial Army has been walking for more than a day now. It must be hungry, I have asked people to prepare more than a dozen pigs and sheep for the Taijunmen, so that the Taijunmen can have a good meal. ”
"Yo Xi! If the whole of Manchukuo were to do the same to you, the plan for the common prosperity of East Asia would be even better. ”
"It's a drop! It's a drop. ”
Several cauldrons have been set up in the yard, several fat pigs have been washed and shedding their hair and are being put in the pot to boil, the thick aroma of meat is spreading, filling the entire yard, and more than 100 Japanese soldiers have gathered around the cauldron. While pulling the tasteless rice into his mouth, he stared at the fat pig in the pot.
In the corner, three Japanese squadron leaders and Wang Mancang were in the room, steaming food on the table. The fat chicken has been roasted to a golden brown and fragrant body, and a squadron leader tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth and bit it hard, only to feel that his mouth was full of crispy fragrance. Suddenly, the muscles on his face burst into smiles.
At this time, Toshiaki Xiang was asking the chief of staff how much food he had left in his troops and when the logistics supplies would arrive. The troops marched for many days on the back, relying on their own food, and the logistical supplies could not keep up with the speed of the troops. In two days, the troops will be reduced in combat effectiveness due to the lack of food, and this group of soldiers is not a veteran of a hundred battles, but a new recruit who has just been formed, and it is very likely that something bad will happen if there is no food.
"Your Excellency, the transport team following us was attacked by unknown armed forces in the Lanxi area, and now Harbin is sending a squadron of troops to escort the military rations, and it is estimated that it will take about a day."
"Yo Xi! I can only grieve them in the past few days. ”
"Your Excellency, it's time to eat." A Japanese army captain walked into the temporary headquarters of Toshiaki Mukai, followed by several Japanese soldiers carrying a plate of roast chicken, a plate of pork and a roast knife from the northeast of the household.
Seeing the things brought by the Japanese soldiers, Mukai Toshiaki was very puzzled: "Nani! Where did you get these things? ”
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, these are all automatically donated by the imperial army friends in the town, treat our soldiers, especially the mayor of this town, Wang Mancang, who has contributed dozens of pigs and sheep alone, so that we can have a good meal."
"Mayor of the town, have you asked where the villagers here have gone?"
"When asked, he replied that not long ago, the people of China sent a working group to spread the anti-Manchurian manifesto, and the day before yesterday they led all the people away, and the whole town was left with the mayor and some friends of the imperial army, and the rest of the people did not know where to go."
After listening to this, Xiang Jing Minming frowned while eating chicken legs, what is the origin of this group of Zhina's working group, so he moved his mouth lightly and ran away from the villagers, this working group is very harmful to Manchurian rule, and it must be eliminated as soon as possible, and the Zhina people took away the common people, could it be that the Zhina people were going to use some conspiracy, he gradually had a bad feeling in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that it might be that the Zhina people evacuated them all because they were worried about the safety of the people, but just in case, he said:" Ordered all departments to add an extra set of mobile posts, I was worried that it would not be safe at night. ”
"Hey!"
It was getting dark again.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, a cavalry of thirty or forty men appeared silently hundreds of paces east of the town.
Although Xiang Jing Minming added double posts for safety and did not send soldiers to patrol outside the city, because the temperature at night was about minus 20 degrees, or even higher, Xiang Jing Minming did not believe that the Chinese Anti-Japanese Federation dared to act in this season, especially at night, they must still be worried about the winter cotton clothes!
Except for a small team of guards on the town wall, there was no patrol outside the city at all, only a pair of patrols inside the city.
One of the horsemen dismounted and searched carefully for a while, and said to the leader: "Commander, I have found it." "Huh?"
Fang Zhensheng's expression moved, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and sure enough, he found a wooden stake inserted in the snow, because the night was dark, if he didn't get close and take a closer look, it was really not easy to find.
"Well, this is it, dig down for me, quick!"
Thirty or forty horsemen turned over and dismounted, and dug around the stake with their prepared sapper shovels, and in less than a moment's time, there was an empty hole underneath that could be entered and exited by three men in parallel! Fang Zhensheng heard the call of an owl, and many soldiers in white trench coats came out of the woods one after another, and the soldiers bent down into the hole one after another with the fire, and disappeared into the dark corridor, several soldiers led the horses away, and the rest of the people scattered in all directions, lying on the snow with the snow horses only showing the eyes and heads of the guns, responsible for guarding around the entrance of the cave.
……
The barracks of the town.
Xiang Jing Minming was suddenly woken up from his sleep, stretched out his hand and touched his face and body, all covered with sweat, looked up at the sky outside the window, it was still dark, and couldn't help but wonder, although some bonfires were lit, but it couldn't be so hot, this is not a hot summer but a cold winter, why is it so hot?
Xiang Jing Minming stepped on the ground, looked ahead with confused eyes, and almost didn't scream, how could there be a fire outside! Could it be that the soldier accidentally set fire to a certain place, and when he was in doubt, Akasawa Nakasa's terrible roar suddenly sounded outside the window.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, a large number of unknown forces have appeared outside the city, and we have been surrounded."
"What?" Mukai Minming was taken aback, hurriedly put on his military boots, and didn't bother to find out who lit the fire, and hurriedly walked out of the house and asked, "How many people are there?" ”
Akasawa Nakasa took a breath and replied, "It's not real in the dark, but the outside of the city is densely packed with torches, and there must be thousands of people, to say the least." ”
"So much?" Mukai Toshiming was very surprised, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
Mukai Toshiaki was escorted by Akasawa Nakasa and the guards to the west gate of the town's only exit, and the group hurried up to the town wall, and sure enough, under the dark night sky outside the city, there were dense torches. People who came out of nowhere surrounded the town on all sides.
"Yo Xi! This group of people finally couldn't bear it, and they dared to take the initiative to come out and send them to death, and they also lit torches at night, isn't this an obvious target? It seems that they do not know the marksmanship and artillery strength of the Imperial Army, so that they can see the strength of our Imperial Japanese Army. (To be continued......)
