Chapter Seventy-One: The End of the Road
In the white light of the banquet hall, there were several large round tables, with cups and plates lined up on snow-white tablecloths, and a bouquet of flowers in the chief table, standing upright like a broom.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese puppet leaders were pulling and pulling to give up their seats, Sun Fang of our underground party quietly turned on the music and walked outside the gate, and instructed the guards: "Today, the captain will hold a banquet to entertain the senior officers, and no one in the banquet will be allowed to enter, and all major military affairs must be dealt with after the banquet." โ
The banquet began, and a smile appeared on the face of the captain of the devil brigade, he stood up with his back bowed, raised his wine glass, and first gave a welcome speech: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, gentlemen: Jiaoxian County was safe and sound, thanks to the direct leadership and command of the garrison commander Nagano Rong, and today Your Excellency has worked tirelessly to inspect our county, and we are even more grateful......
Ono picked up the wine glass and touched it with the captain, tilted his neck and drank the "red sorghum" to the fullest. The guards hurriedly poured him wine, put a few fried prawns, and persuaded: "Eat while it's hot, eat it while it's hot!" โ
Xiao Ye devoured for a while, wiped the sweat on his forehead and smacked his lips, and said to the captain of the devil in fluent Chinese: "You are so polite, too polite!" This time I was lucky to be here is really an eye-opener, just now the county has been checked enough to see that the management is well-managed, and the hard work is high! โ
"Where, where!" The captain pretended to be humble, but his actual mouth was already grinning to the root of his ears, "Since I received the order, regardless of Wen Taowu strategy, it is to protect the water and soil." Fortunately, the city wall was built and it was solid. However, in order to further strengthen the offensive against the base areas of the bandits and communists, we still pursue the all-round defense and offensive and two-pronged approach, so that the natural granary of the Binbei region can become the occupied area that we and the first to ensure the occupation, that is, the 'national management area' that everyone has created for it. โ
The more the devil little man spoke, the more proud he became, and after waving the chopsticks in his hand for a while, he picked up a big piece of meat and stuffed it into the small red hole.
Ono Sanichi heard the reasonableness of what he said, and clapped his hands and praised: "It's very good!" Greatly good! "I'll definitely report to Commander Li Yannian and Commander Rong Nagano when I go backโ" Suddenly, he saw that the captain was so stuck by that big piece of meat and egg that he rolled his eyes, and he forgot to finish his words in shock.
Chi Yaodong, who was sitting on the other side, his squinting mouse eyes may not have seen this action, he habitually stretched out two fingers: nodded forward and said: "Everyone, there is also good news, Lao Jiang recently mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to surround the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. โ
Zhang Hongfei never got the opportunity to speak, and at this time, his gray face also said shit fart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chi Yaodong is right!" Not to mention anything else, as far as the group of tourists in our coastal area is concerned, it may have been a candle in the wind and rain! โ
As soon as the words ended, the audience immediately burst into applause, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became lively.
Among them, the most comfortable is Gao Bailian. Although he did not disclose his identity after returning to his hometown, he still maintained close ties with the high-ranking Kuomintang secret services hidden in Wang's puppet government, and secretly collected information on the Communists, Wang, and Japan in the northern Binbei area according to their secret dispatch to participate in the "sweep."
Before the banquet, Zhang Hongfei had a secret meeting with him, first praising the activities he had participated in since the "sweep", and then conveying to him an instruction from Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to quickly organize the old Kuomintang personnel in Wang's puppet center, actively carry out ** activities, and promise to allocate funds to him. Listening to Zhang Hongfei's words, his heart is even happier than others.
Liu Erlou on the side saw that his godfather was in a very good mood tonight, and estimated that he had encountered something on his mind, so he often leaned his head over and joked to cheer up.
Sitting diagonally opposite, the mulberry leaves are in stark contrast: he does not say a word or smile, his face is tense, his cheekbones are higher and higher, and his two suspicious eyes shoot obliquely through the lenses of his glasses from time to time, staring at Zhang Hongfei stubbornly, as if he has seen something famous.
Previously, foodies had discovered that Zhang Hongfei had had abnormal contact with Gao Bailian, and immediately reported it to Ono. Ono attached great importance to this and ordered him to continue investigating, and he naturally did not dare to slack off. At this moment, he looked at Gao Bailian's smiling eyes and Zhang Hongfei's shiny bald head, and said fiercely in his heart: Don't get carried away! Put it in my hands, and make you look good!
The captain of the devil brigade was suffering from another heart disease, and he heard the faint sound of gunfire in the noise and music, so he left his seat while everyone was talking and laughing, and wanted to call next door to inquire.
Sun Fang, who was sitting in the lower seat, had a deep understanding of his meaning, hurriedly stopped him, and said into his ear: "Taijun, the first train back from patrolling outside the city has just arrived at the barracks of the first squadron, it is reported that everything is safe and sound along the way, listening to this faint gunfire is our own weapon, it may be to prevent militia harassment and show the military might of the imperial army, I hope Taijun cherishes etiquette, and it is important to accompany guests!"
Seeing that Sun Fang was reasonable, the captain of the devil team listened to the sound of the gunfire and thought that the reinforcements would arrive soon, so he put down his hanging heart, returned to his seat, and drank heartily.
Ono only cared about tasting the unique delicacies of Jiaoxian, and even forgot to make an answer, Mulberry touched him with his hand, and he woke up like a stake, glanced around the audience, and moved two oily lips.
Then the wicked creature smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, when I arrived here, I was not only warmly welcomed, but also the fortification of the city, which made us deeply inspired!" Commander Li Yannian, Commander Nagano Sakae, and Commander Hosokawa Tadayasu have all said, 'If Shandong is entrenched, most of China's war will be completed', so on behalf of the three commandersโ"
Ono stood up with a slurp, and everyone in the audience stood up.
I only heard him deliberately raise his voice and say word by word: "I would like to express my warmest congratulations to Your Excellency the Captain and all the gentlemen!" โ
There was a round of applause, as if several bulls were urinating at the same time.
Ono raised his wine glass high, and the captain of the devil team hurriedly raised his wine glass when he saw it.
All the Japanese puppet officials who accompanied them raised their glasses.
All the reporters and mulberry leaves present at the banquet also raised their glasses.
Ono's voice rang out again: "To celebrate the success of the blockade, and to wish His Excellency the Captain and all of you more victories in the future 'battle', do-"
Before he could say the word "cup", before the wine glasses hanging in the air touched their lips, suddenly there was a sound of "horn-", the lights went out, the music stopped, and the darkness occupied the entire banquet hall!
Everyone panicked, chaotic, and rushed to the window to look out: Ah! The fire around Ersanli Jiao County was soaring, the guns were loud, and the earth shook the mountains!
Gao Bai beat his chest unconsciously, and cried out as if he was mournful: "It's over! I'm done! Oh my God, my territory is finished! โ
The captain of the devil brigade was as angry as a male dog, rushed into the phone room, and howled in his throat: "A squadron! A squadron! The ...... of the 1st Squadron"
The squadron leader's report made him feel like he had swallowed a piece of gunpowder, angry and hateful, anxious and afraid, and blood was coming out of every pore. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the command knife hanging on his seat, and wanted to lead the men and horses to fight with the Eighth Route Army.
Ono, a guy who had never been on the battlefield, was even more frightened, and he pounced on him and dragged the captain and said informably:
"Yours, help...... Defend the city! โ(..)
