Chapter 13 Encounters with Peers
The headquarters has a drinking party tonight, and it is very possible to send a gendarmerie to strengthen the external defense of the headquarters, and the military police were not also sent out to patrol during the previous receptions, and the staff officers of the headquarters who are high above have never believed in the patrols sent by the field troops. The flashlight disappeared, and the patrol team on the opposite side heard the shouting and took the initiative to turn off the flashlight, but from the footsteps, it could be heard that the patrol was walking in this direction.
"Ready" An Zairong, who was wearing a captain's military uniform and walking in the front, pulled out a short knife inserted in his back waist with his backhand and put it in his sleeve, and the mercenaries who walked behind him disguised as Japanese soldiers also did the same, and drew out their short knives and did so. Originally, the patrol was supposed to march against the wall, and the two patrols marching in the opposite direction should walk on both sides of the street, but today it was different, the mercenaries were disguised as military police, and they walked directly in the middle of the street in a long snake formation, only 2 or 3 meters away from the wall on the side of the street, and they could lean over with just one step.
There were 14 Japanese patrols approaching, more than half of the mercenary squad disguised as Japanese soldiers, and the mercenaries who were already ready to attack planned to kill them here. "Hey, borrow a fire" An Zairong took out the gendarme's style to intercept the oncoming patrol, and the opposite side was only a second lieutenant, and An Zairong, who was facing the rank of captain, had to stop. "You smoke one too, this is a cigarette produced in the empire outside" lit the cigarette with the match drawn by the second lieutenant, An Zairong handed the cigarette case to the second lieutenant who led the patrol.
"Oh, thank you senior, thank you so much" The Japanese second lieutenant who took the cigarette took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, and when he was about to light the fire, the match in his hand was taken by An Zairong. "Oh, senior, how can this work, I'll just do it myself" Seeing An Zairong put on a posture of wanting to light a cigarette for himself, the second lieutenant was a little flattered and refused again and again, and even took off the cigarette from his mouth.
"It's okay, come on," An Zairong struck a match and leaned forward, urging the second lieutenant to light a cigarette. The officers who led the team were smoking, but the soldiers under them did not dare to do so, the Japanese army was a well-established military rank, and the officers were a privileged class that they could do things that soldiers could not do, such as smoking and chatting while patrolling. The gendarmes were obviously not the same as the guys sent by the field troops, and when their commanders took out their cigarettes, the gendarmes also felt out the cigarettes and gathered together to light cigarettes with each other, and of course there were also people who came to the patrol to borrow fire.
"Okay, let's go" An Zairong, who had a cigarette in his mouth, turned around and called out to the gendarmes under his command, and when he looked back at the second lieutenant, the short knife in his right sleeve was already in his hand. Seeing An Zairong turn around and look at himself, the second lieutenant thought that this senior still had something to say to him, so he hurriedly leaned forward and posed as if he was listening carefully, "poof" An Zairong's left hand was on the second lieutenant's shoulder At the same time, the short knife in his right hand had already penetrated deeply into the second lieutenant's body, and the sharp tip of the knife was in the liver.
The short knife was like a hot iron bar, and the Japanese second lieutenant tensed his body, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't, because the moment An Zairong made his move, the left hand on his shoulder had already choked his throat, and the Japanese second lieutenant who was stabbed in the abdomen didn't shout until he swallowed his last breath. The sentence that An Zairong shouted before he started was a code that he had already made an appointment with his mercenaries, and when An Zairong started, the gendarmes who were laughing together with the Japanese patrol suddenly changed their faces, and the sword light in the moonlight flashed, and the 14-person Japanese patrol was killed in an instant.
"Up, quick, drag all the corpses away" The flashlight flashed three times in a row, and the door of a shop on the corner of the street suddenly opened, and more than a dozen black shadows flashed from inside. The movements of the black shadows are not inferior to An Zairong, grabbing the corpse of the Japanese patrol on the ground and carrying it on their shoulders, turning around and striding back to the store, but in 2 minutes, the 14 Japanese soldiers who had just been killed by An Zairong disappeared without a trace, and even the blood splattered on the ground was cleaned up by the black shadows who came out of the store, if it weren't for the smell of blood wafting in the air, no one would have thought that someone had just died here.
"Don't look at it, those are all military commanders, and they are cooperating with our actions" An Zairong whispered, and reorganized the team and continued to move forward with his mercenaries. According to the information provided by the military commander, these Japanese perimeter patrols will be replaced every six hours, and An Zairong and their attack time is that the patrol team has just changed its guard the night before, and these five patrols with a total of 70 people have been defeated, and An Zairong and they will be able to do whatever they want before 3 o'clock in the morning.
As just now, An Zairong and the others turned around the corner and walked not far away, and met a Japanese patrol of 14 people again, still using the old-fashioned trick of fire, An Zairong and the other party's lieutenant officers got together and talked about small words, and the gendarmes under him mixed with the Japanese soldiers on the patrol. The arms that were secretly raised fell sharply, and the short knives held by the mercenaries stabbed into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and another patrol arranged by the Japanese army on the periphery of the headquarters was wiped out, and this time it was no longer the man in black who came out to help move the corpse, but looked like a serious businessman, and there was even a guy in a long shirt inside.
"Contemptible CCP Taiyuan Underground Party Leader Ma Wenbo" The man in the long shirt bowed to An Zairong, and then whispered, "We came to the news from the inside of the Japanese army headquarters, this drinking party was organized by a group of staff officers in the Japanese army headquarters, on the grounds that the wife of one of their Zhongzuo officers gave birth to a boy, but our inside line said that those senior officers of the Japanese army in Taiyuan, such as their commander and chief of staff, are not in Taiyuan City, and there are only some ordinary officers in the headquarters now, and the highest rank is only Zhongzuo." ”
"Damn, what kind of information did these guys from the military commander" Listening to Ma Wenbo's words, An Zairong glared angrily and sulked. The best way to provide a response to the troops waiting outside the city was to create a large-scale disturbance in the city to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, but this must be guaranteed on the premise that as many Japanese officers as possible who can command the troops, and only the leaderless troops will be easily defeated. The information provided by the military commander did not say that the senior officers of the Japanese army in Taiyuan were not in the city, and once there was a riot in the city and those senior officers who were not in the headquarters took over the command of the troops, the Thunder troops who were lying in ambush outside the city and were waiting to attack would be under tremendous pressure.
Zhao Zhi's plan of action is to attack Taiyuan City in one night, so there is a mercenary team that sneaks into the city to raise the flag flank, the Japanese army deployed less than 10,000 troops in the city, but they still have a lot of troops around Taiyuan, once the other party's senior officers escape and make a comeback, Zhao Zhi's surprise attack operation has become a fight with the Japanese army, which is not a good situation for the thunder that does not have an advantage in troops, especially now when the attitude of the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army is not very clear, The Thunder's situation will become even more worrying.
"The operation continues, our goal is the entire Taiyuan City, not just to kill a few Japanese officers" Xiao Ziyun's order was quickly passed over, and An Zairong, who was aggrieved, had to take his mercenaries to continue to move forward to clean up the Japanese patrols outside the headquarters. The task of these two teams of 60 mercenaries is to provide peripheral security for Xiao Ziyun and them when Xiao Ziyun and them attack the Japanese headquarters, and the mercenaries under An Zairong are all guys who can speak a few words of Japanese, even if they stand with the Japanese army face to face, they will not show their feet in a short time.
"Everyone speed up, there should be only the last team of Japanese patrols left, take them, and we will meet the people of the second team" An Zairong wiped the blood stains on the short knife on the corpse of the Japanese soldier. This is the third Japanese patrol they killed, according to the difference between them and the second team's travel route, when they kill three Japanese patrols in a row, the second team that is going in the direction with the Japanese army should also kill one Japanese team, according to this estimate, the five patrols arranged by the Japanese army on the periphery of the headquarters should be the last one.
The brightly lit Japanese headquarters was still full of laughter, and the Japanese officers and Japanese expatriates who were laughing as usual had no idea that danger was slowly approaching them, the officers were gulping down the sake brought from China, and the Japanese women in kimonos were smiling and talking about private conversations. Xie Yunxiao and Fujiwara Hideo sat together, absent-mindedly he dealt with the Japanese businessmen without saying a word, the hands on the watch were slowly pointing to the time when the action began, and Xie Yunxiao, who knew that there was no hope of survival, was now left with the idea of exchanging his life for his life.
"Mr. Xie, someone over there asked you to come over and catch up" A man dressed as Japanese smiled at Hideo Fujiwara, and dragged the restless Xie Yunxiao directly to the corner of the hall, where there was a man in the same suit as Xie Yunxiao. Xie Yunxiao, who was confused, didn't know the Japanese man who called him and the man in the suit in front of him, the hall was full of Japanese, and he couldn't help it before the action started.
"I'm here to pick you up," the man in the suit flipped his wrist and flashed an earring in his palm. Xie Yunxiao was shocked, his eyes tightened like pinpoints, and his right hand that was idle on his thigh also moved to his waist, the earrings he bought for Nanxiang Yunzi, it must have been an accident with that woman. "Mr. Xie, don't be nervous, I am a member of the CCP, and our CCP also participated in this operation" Xie Yunxiao's hand that wanted to touch the gun was pressed, and the man in the suit said softly, the words of the man in the suit were no less than earth-shattering thunder in Xie Yunxiao's ears, the CCP was simply pervasive, and they actually arranged agents in the hall of the Japanese headquarters.
