The sky has broken and the sound of the sun has revived, and the orange-red morning glow fills the sky. There are still pinpoint-sized snowflakes in the air, the adobe houses in the village are covered by the heavy snow of last night, and the rugged mountain road is also covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snow layer is already frozen. The whole village is in a sea of snow, which is quite poetic. There is a saying that "suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom", could it be that the Tang Dynasty poet Cen Shen also wrote the poem "Bai Xue Ge Sends the Military Judge to Beijing Back" after facing this situation?

The soldiers of the first regiment got up early, and the ranks of the guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon left behind in the area of the regiment headquarters lined up from the conference room to the entrance of the village, standing in a row on the left and right wings, and a soldier stood every five meters in the queue.

Yang Longfei, Zhang He, and Hu Dequan walked side by side at the forefront of the team to say their last goodbye, followed by the main force of the independent regiment dominated by Zhang Shan, Xie Dacheng and others, most of the soldiers had not woken up yet, and almost everyone was in a hazy state, either yawning or rubbing their eyes along the way.

"As the saying goes, 'thousands of miles to build a long shed, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed', Lao Yang, as soon as we say goodbye today, we don't know what year and month we will meet again. When the team arrives in Shanxi, take the soldiers to work hard and fight a few more beautiful battles. Although our Eighth Route Army lacks communication equipment, there is still a certain tacit understanding between the troops. If your old Yang Zhen made a name for himself in the northwest of Jin, we would be able to get news here sooner or later. To put it bluntly, there is a Taihang Mountain between us, and we may see each other again in the future. Hu Dequan put his hands behind his back and said earnestly.

Zhang He stretched out his two hands in the sleeves of his clothes and interjected while keeping warm: "Lao Yang, let's say it, you kid still owes Lao Tzu weapons and equipment." This is what I gave up this face to beg my old comrade-in-arms to come, you kid don't count it, just accept it. Before you leave, we have to make it clear, this thing is not for you, and in the future, your kid will have to double his fortune! ”

Yang Longfei wiped his palms repeatedly, and laughed: "No problem, I'll write this account down for you." If I also mess with the head of the logistics department one day, the quasi-insurance will be doubled and you will be repaid this favor? Alas, I almost forgot, do you have a master of the grass? If not, when the time comes back to the war, I'll ask the warriors to pay more attention to you, and try to get you a Japanese pussy for dog days......"

"Fuck you, Japanese pussy? Whoever loves wants it, Lao Tzu doesn't touch the light of the devil. One by one, the little faces are white, as if they came out of their mother's noodle pockets, Lao Tzu is not blessed, you kid is okay with this mouthful, just stay and marry as a wife! ”

Political Commissar Hu Dequan sighed with a wry smile: "Alas, I said that you two, it is really people in groups, and things in kind. I really understand the meaning of the headquarters now, obviously, the two of you are not fuel-efficient lamps, if you really let the independent regiment and the pre-first regiment be crowded in this acre and three points of land in the Lunan area, it will really be a bit of a tiger in the dragon pan. At that time, if the two of you don't work together to poke a hole in the sky, it is estimated that you will not stop, and there will really be a day when the headquarters will stop it, and God will not be able to stop it. ”

"It's too late, it's too late, Lao Tzu has been worrying about the lack of holes recently. Lao Hu, it's not that I'm talking about you, you kid is good anywhere, but you're not very bold, no different from a mouse with guts. You have to report everything that is big, and you have to talk to the brigade commander about pulling out the devil's stronghold, which is a matter of pulling grass and beating rabbits? If Lao Tzu takes his soldiers to fight Jinan one day, are you still going to Chongqing to report to Chiang Kai-shek? ”

Hu Dequan snorted coldly and said: "I don't have the qualifications to report to Chiang Kai-shek, if you really dare to do this, first I will stop you desperately, if you can't stop it, then it's not as simple as reporting to the brigade headquarters, and then even if it is a skip to the headquarters and I admit it, it's better than you who don't know how to do it, right?" I admit it. ”

The send-off team walked all the way to the entrance of the village, looking at the snowfall, Yang Longfei sighed: "Okay, let's send it here, it's not that we can't see each other." If you have a chance in the future, come to Shanxi to find me, I heard that Shanxi's Lao Fen wine tastes good, and when you come together, I invite you to drink enough! ”

"Alright, let's settle it. I think if there is really such a day, the little devil is estimated to be almost beaten by us, and on the day of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, let alone Fenjiu, even Moutai Wuliangye, we will also get drunk and rest. Political Commissar Hu Dequan bowed in favor.

I only heard Zhang He shout after looking around: "All the pre-regiments are there, listen to my orders, send off the brother troops to change their guards, and salute ———"

The soldiers of the pre-first regiment standing on both sides of the road raised their hands to salute, and Yang Longfei also shook hands with Zhang He and Hu Dequan to say goodbye, each cherishing it.

……

The mountains in the northwest of Shanxi Province are also covered with layers of silver snow, and Wang Hongkun, commander of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, has the habit of getting up early to practice Tai Chi. As soon as he finished the fight, Chief of Staff Geng Biao took a big step to help him bring this breakfast——— two elm money nests, which were still hot and tasted good.

"Brigade commander, there is news from the independent regiment, the chief of staff of the 115th Division has just sent a telegram to our brigade headquarters, Yang Longfei, the commander of the independent regiment, has led the cadres and soldiers of the whole regiment to start the march, and it is expected that they will be able to enter the defense area of our division in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. The division headquarters asked us to pay more attention to it and see if it was more appropriate to arrange this independent regiment in that place. Chief of Staff Geng Biao reported.

The brigade commander bit off half of the head in one bite, and his voice was a little slurred: "I heard the division commander say that this independent regiment had two brushes when it was in the national army before, and it dared to fight with the Japanese with bayonets?" This kind of seedling can't be wasted, always put it in a critical part of our division for him to keep an eye on, it's best to find a place where the defense of the enemy and the enemy is more important, in case of a war, this is a good card! ”

"Then put them in Yangquan, there are no troops from the enemy and our armies in the area of the General's Temple northwest of Yangquan. Since the division of troops in each regiment, I have been staring at this place, which is the throat of our brigade, in case the devils occupy it, we will be passive in the future. I didn't think about it, and I forgot about it when I was busy these days. I just got the inside information, the Japanese Isoya Brigade suddenly entered Yangquan, and the Matsuo Gendarmerie that remained in the original city also transferred two squadrons to occupy the Moyunling area. I said in my heart that I couldn't delay it any longer, and I originally planned to let the 769 regiment change its guard to the General Temple. Since this independent regiment is about to arrive, let's just send them over. ”

Brigadier Wang Hongkun swallowed half of his head again, nodded in agreement: "That's it, but you also said that this independent regiment can only arrive the day after tomorrow at the earliest." I'm worried about what the devils will do in the meantime...... In this way, the direction of the General's Temple is not far from the station of the 2nd Garrison Regiment, so let them send a battalion to temporarily change the guard to the General's Temple, and then handle the handover of the defense area when the independent regiment is in place. ”

"Okay, then you eat first, and I'll arrange it." After saying that, Chief of Staff Geng Biao turned around and left.

……

Matsuo Hirasaki Nakasa, captain of the Japanese military police stationed in Yangquan, was sitting behind a huge desk and talking on the telephone with Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front in Jinjin. He was very curious why the headquarters of the First Army did not greet him, the supreme commander stationed in Yangquan, and suddenly sent a force of more than 1,000 troops to Yangquan, and transferred all the two squadrons under his command to the area of Moyunling outside the city. He couldn't figure it out.

Matsuo Hirasaki was different from the average Japanese army, he was not a belligerent militant in the first place. He did not receive a military academy education in China, and he can be said to know nothing about the arrangement of troops. On the contrary, in the face of the nationwide wave of aggression against China, he preferred the gendarmerie industry in which he was engaged.

In his view, the conquest of China was not achieved by brutal militaristic policies and bloody killings, but by the gendarmerie system, which had almost universalized around the world. Only by making the Chinese truly obey and fulfill the Japanese gendarmerie system can we change the thinking and minds of the Chinese from the bones. Relying on the continuous killing alone will only further intensify the hatred and revenge of the other party, and will not have much of a deterrent effect.

Lieutenant General Shinozuka told Matsuo that he had discovered a new type of combat concept and affirmed that this new method of warfare was expected to be unique in the operations of large corps with many peaks, and that it would play a pivotal role in future wars. According to the Chinese, it is called four or two thousand pounds.

Matsuo Nakasa was puzzled, and he was puzzled, what kind of new combat concept dared to boast of such a sea mouth? Could it be that this combat concept creates more lethality than the battles between corps and corps? This is obviously impossible.

Lieutenant General Shinozuka smiled faintly at this, and like Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the former commander of the 9th Division of the Central China Front, Lieutenant General Shinozuka cited to Matsuo Nakasa the story of a Serbian young man who killed the crown prince of Austria-Hungary and then set off World War I. And he made a philosophical point of view: we must not underestimate the ability of the little people, in this complex international situation and the prospect of war, the sudden death of an important person can lead to the rapid end of a war, and the little people can also create such achievements. As far as the Chinese battlefield is concerned, one of his elite troops is even confident that Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing, disguised as a civilian, can kill the bald chairman who opposed the Japanese Imperial Army.

Matsuo Hirasaki still asked in a daze, "Commander Shinozuka, do you mean that this elite army has entered Yangquan with the army?" But I didn't find any sign of this team. I only know that the highest commander stationed in Yangquan is Isoya Nakasa, is he the commander of this elite force? ”

Lieutenant General Shinozuka smiled on the phone: "Of course not, Isoya-kun has his own work to do." The reason why you have not found any trace of this secret force is precisely what I told you. As I said, this is a secret force that is very good at disguise, and they are masters of disguise from officers to soldiers. However, the ordinary soldiers disguised as the Isoya Brigade are not very good, and their skills are far beyond what you and I can imagine. But it's still worth thanking, even Matsuo-kun didn't find out the whereabouts of this team, and I don't think the Eighth Road in Shanxi will definitely not be aware of it. Matsuo-kun, before I spoke to you, I already spoke with the commander of this secret force, Kimura Jibu Daisa, and if I am correct, he is currently on his way to you, and it is estimated that you will meet him in a few minutes......"

Before the words fell, Matsuo Hirasaki Nakasa found that a person suddenly stood at the door of his office. Perhaps because of his long-term overwork, Matsuo Nakasa's eyesight is not very good. He picked up his glasses from the table, put them on, carefully observed the rank worn by the Japanese officer standing at the door, and then continued to say to Lieutenant General Shinozuka on the other side of the phone: "Commander Shinozuka, the Kimura Osa you mentioned should be standing at the door of my office right now, I have seen him...... Well, okay, okay, then the next issue will be left to me and Kimura-kun to negotiate, you are busy, I will hang up. With that, he hung up the phone.

When he looked up again, the Japanese officer wearing the rank of Osaku was already sitting opposite him, and there was only a table between the two of them. Matsuo Nakasa glanced at the officer sitting across from him for a short time: this man was very rugged, with a pair of beautiful and murderous sword eyebrows, and a pair of godly eyes in his deep eye sockets. The bridge of the nose is straight, the cheekbones are slightly high, and it is a typical "national character face". The lips are thick, and the cheeks and below the lips are blue. The contours of the whole person's face are very good, but his face is not very good. Perhaps due to the brutal war environment for a long time, the officer's skin was yellow and black, and a few subtle scars could be faintly visible.

In all fairness, Matsuo Nakasa felt unhappy from the bottom of his heart for his casual behavior of becoming a guest. Matsuo's idea is very simple, even if you are a big sa, you should know the truth of being a guest, right? It stands to reason that I didn't invite you in, so you should have stood at the door and waited. He came in without saying a word, and sat across from him in a dignified manner. This person is a little too arrogant.

Matsuo endured the displeasure in his heart, and greeted him with a polite attitude as much as possible: "The contemptible person is Matsuo Hirasaki, the captain of the gendarmerie stationed in Yangquan, presumably Your Excellency is the Kimura Jibu Daisa that Commander Shinozuka specially named to me, right?" ”

"It's despicable." Kimura is neither a recognizant nor a self-acquainted man in the traditional sense, and the calmness he speaks with is entirely dependent on the self-confidence he has built up on the battlefield. In other words, he is a military man with the right to be arrogant.

Matsuo looked at the extremely arrogant guy in front of him with a smile, and continued to ask patiently: "The order I received is to hand over the defense with the third brigade of Isotani-kun, and the two squadrons under the command of my gendarmerie have all been transferred to the area of Moyunling. The tasks given by Commander Shinozuka have all been completed, I wonder what Kimura-kun has to do? ”

Kimura Jiwu raised his chin slightly, almost looked at Matsuo Hirazaki Shaosa from a downward angle, and said, "I'm sorry, Matsuo-kun." When the contemptible first arrived in Yangquan, he didn't know much about everything about your military police headquarters, and he had to trouble Matsuo-kun to help solve some things. ”

After hearing this, Matsuo agreed without thinking: "Kimura-kun is polite, your ministry has just arrived, and Matsuo should give the friendship of the landlord." The accommodation I have provided to your department is in the left and right wings of the gendarmerie headquarters, which are the two best rooms in the entire gendarmerie, and I hope Kimura-kun will not dislike it. ”

"A place to live is a small matter, and if war requires it, my soldiers can stay in the primeval forest for a long time, and will not lose their lives because of the harsh conditions in which they are made. What I would like to ask Matsuo-kun for help is to find me an open space at the Gendarmerie Headquarters that is large enough for me to use as a training ground for my agents. ”

Matsuo Nakasa asked straight to the point, "How much open space do you need?" ”

"A venue that can accommodate 100 people to train casually without being crowded. I think that in the huge Yangquan, open space with this condition can be said to be everywhere. But what I really needed was to find an open space inside the gendarmerie that would not be visible to the outside world, and it had to be absolutely hidden. ”

In the face of the almost harsh conditions proposed by Kimura Jiwu, Matsuo Nakasa agreed without thinking about it: "No problem, I will immediately find someone to arrange, and by this afternoon at the latest, let your department officially enter the training camp...... Kimura-kun, I have a question for you, according to Commander Shinozuka, this new combat concept of yours is explained in a narrow sense, in fact, by virtue of its own inferiority in numbers and equipment to the opponent, it can still create a combat effect of one enemy and one hundred, right? ”

Kimura Jiwu shook his head with a sneer, and patiently explained, "Matsuo-kun, there is a certain deviation in your understanding. You must know that in the battle, my secret service is far superior to the current government army and the local army of China, except that it does not have an advantage in troops. In terms of the weapons we are equipped with, even our current Japanese army can only match it, not to mention those inferior equipment and poor as Hanako. ”

"May I ask if the weapons you are equipped with are southern*?"

"Of course not, my operatives are armed with Finnish M1931 Somi*. Although it is not famous, it has inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet army in the Soviet-Finnish war that year. Both the shooting accuracy and the performance of the guns have reached the first-class level of the production process of the year. It's a pity that because this * manufacturing process is more complicated, the price naturally becomes very expensive. You know, buying 100 of these from other countries through informal channels not only requires a lot of money, but also wastes a lot of manpower and time. Frankly speaking, our army's southern type * is really a bit unworthy compared to the M1913 type Somi*. ”

"Last question, since His Excellency Osa said, this kind of * purchase process is quite cumbersome, and it also requires a lot of money. Then I would like to ask, is this fund provided by His Excellency Osa himself? ”

Kimura Jiwu smiled and shook his head, and a trace of arrogance suddenly appeared on his face: "How is this possible?" I can't do it with my own ability, and it involves not only funding, but also special channels. The 100* were specially selected from the military expenses by the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, and sent a special person to Finland to purchase them, which took three full months. ”

Matsuo Nakasa couldn't help but gasp, he originally thought that this big sa who didn't know the height of the sky was just a red man in front of Lieutenant General Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army stationed in Jin, but he didn't expect that there were still major characters hidden behind this guy. What kind of charm does this not-so-surprising guy have? How could the top commander of the North China Front Army attach so much importance to him that he would not hesitate to allocate funds for his little-known secret service to buy the so-called Finland*? It's incredible.
