Guo Biao and Qin Xiaolan left the Renqiu Oilfield with regret and moved to the temporary habitat of the task force.

An hour later, the senior officers of the North China Front led by Terauchi Shouichi also left, leaving only Lieutenant General Seishiro Sakagaki, commander of the 5th Division, and the 21st Brigade under his command.

The 5th Division was the closest to Renqiu, so Shouichi Terauchi handed over this first round of defense to Seishiro Sakagaki. The importance of the Renqiu oil field to Japan is self-evident, from the emperor to the ordinary people, after learning the news, they all showed ecstasy. For this reason, Terauchi Shouichi even stopped attacking North China, changed from an offensive posture to a defensive posture, wantonly reduced his troops, and redivided the theater of various divisions and regiments with the Renqiu Oilfield as the center, in order to firmly hold the treasure of the Renqiu Oilfield in his hands. The cautiousness of the supreme commander made the nerves of Sakagaki and other division-level military commanders highly tense, and after Terauchi and others left, Sakagaki immediately summoned the officers of the 21st Brigade and regiment commander and above to hold a defense work meeting.

"Gentlemen, the importance of Renqiu Oilfield to the empire, I don't need to repeat it, right? I remind you that if something goes wrong while our army is on the defensive, then you, including me, can pack your bags and prepare to return home, and what awaits us will definitely be a military court. On the surface, the regular army of the Chinese people has been driven out of Jicha by us, but based on the reactions of the various rural clean-up teams during this period, there are still various forms of guerrillas in the territory of Jicha. These people may not be able to fight, but they are good at sabotage. Jicha was originally the territory of the Scholar Army, and it was deeply influenced by Ouyang Yun, and it was extremely hostile to the Japanese, so we had to guard against the Chinese people from making crazy moves. There's nothing to worry about during the day, and the people of China won't be stupid enough to throw themselves into the net. The point is at night - the fortifications are still under construction, and the lighting is not yet in place. We can only make up for this lack with numerical superiority and diligence. Starting tonight, during the period of our army's rotational defense, I, Major General Toshiji Miura, and General Nishimura Toshiwin will take turns to be on duty at the headquarters and be responsible for scheduling and coordinating the work. I was in charge of eight to eleven o'clock, Miura-kun from eleven to two in the morning, and Nishimura Osa from two to five in the morning. In terms of patrols, a squadron departs every two hours, in small units, at ten-minute intervals, starting with the 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing. Gentlemen, after you go down, please make it clear to the team leader that once you find an abnormality during the patrol, you will immediately fire a flare, understand? ”

All the devils stood up and said loudly, "Hello! ”

Seishiro Sakagaki looked at his watch and said, "So, let's start now." Kuriihara Hideosa, you stay. ”

"Hello!" Kuriihara said respectfully, stepping aside to let the others pass.

After everyone left, Sakagaki walked up to Kuriihara Shu and said: "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, His Excellency the Commander has left four standing teams, Kurihan-kun, you have received special training in Germany, these four standing teams, I want to hand them over to you to command, I hope you don't let me down!" ”

Kurikhan immediately bowed his head respectfully and said loudly, "I will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

Nodding, Sei Sakagaki shouted loudly outside, "Please come in." ”

"Hello!" A loud answer came from the door, and after a few minutes, a little devil wearing the rank of captain stood straight at the door, bowed his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency, the captain of the Ohara Advance Team, Ohara Ken, reports to you." ”

Seeing him, Seishiro Sakagaki showed an appreciative smile on his face, and turned to Kuriihara Hide: "Graduated from the German Army University, specializing in special operations, and can skillfully use more than 20 kinds of well-known firearms at home and abroad; In the graduation examination, he beat many competitors and won the first place in the overall score; He single-handedly formed the Ohara Bandit Team, and when he cleared the Northeast China Bandit Army in May, he led the Ohara Stand Up Team to kill more than 50 Shina bandits and capture 17 people alive, including a bandit leader. Of these, he alone killed nine people and captured three alive. Kurihan-kun, I asked Ohara-kun to be your assistant, what do you think? ”

Ohara Ken walked up to Kuriihara Shu and saluted, "Your Excellency Osa, please take care of me!" ”

Kuriihara Hideki also gave a military salute and said politely: "Let's work together for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Hello!"

It has only been three days since the Renqiu oil field was discovered by the Japanese army. Because of this, no matter how solemn Shouichi Terauchi or Seishiro Sakagaki behaved, Kuriihara Shu was a little unimpressed. I think that the time is so short, and the Chinese top management may not have received the news yet. And those nearby peasant armies who are not equipped or qualified, have nothing to fear at all, and just a few days ago, he easily wiped out one. Out of this thought, after Kuriihara Shu left from Seishiro Sakagaki, he was not in a hurry to combine the four standing teams and explain the specific matters or anything. Instead, he brought Ohara Jian to his headquarters, let his subordinates get a little side dish, and with a little wine, he discussed with great interest some training and combat methods of the German Army, and regarded it as an opportunity to learn and improve.

The slackness of being the chief officer, and the sword of Ohara, who is an adjutant, is not good at acting aggressively. Moreover, Kuriihara Xiu's humble request for advice greatly satisfied Ohara Ken's vanity. So, the two of them looked like they hated each other, talked eloquently, and in less than an hour, they drank so much that their faces were red and their ears were red.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the two were still drinking, when suddenly, the assembly whistle sounded in the barracks outside. Then, there was a mess, a messy footstep. Although the two of them were red-faced, they were not yet drunk, and they were taken aback when they heard this, and quickly dropped their wine glasses and chopsticks and ran out of the headquarters, and when they ran into a captain who had come to report the enemy's situation, Hashizono Nakahito.

"Your Excellency, I just received a report that the strong man in charge of leveling the corn field is **."

"Eight squares! These stupid pigs, since they want to find death, they are all dead! Kurikhan roared loudly, pulled out his pistol, and fired a shot into the air. Soon, a squadron-sized gendarme, a unit directly under the wing, rushed out of the barracks. Kuriihara Xiu was still completely awake at this time, and took care of Ohara Ken and hurriedly gathered four standing teams to strengthen the defense of the construction site, in case he was hit by the plan of the people to divert the tiger from the mountain, and asked people to immediately report the situation to Sakagaki Seishiro, and then gathered the team, got on a three-wheeled motorcycle, and drove towards the cornfield that was in chaos in the southeast.

The so-called strong man ** is naturally Guo Biao's handwriting. After reconnoitering during the day, and getting acquainted with the strength and arrangement of the Japanese army, he realized that it would be very difficult for the task force of 27 people alone to complete the mission. First of all, getting in is a difficult problem. The contingent was too small in number and lacked the weapons to attack the fortifications, and it seemed that the Japanese army had to be disrupted and disorganized. When he returned to his temporary habitat and met Cai Taigen, the guerrilla leader in the area, he came up with such a plan.

The guerrillas in the Renqiu area were all spontaneously reorganized by the former Self-Defense Forces who were stranded there. Qin Xiaolan and the others wanted to operate in Renqiu, so they naturally had to rely on their strength, and many of the people in charge, such as Cai Taigen, were developed into offline. Qin Xiaolan came forward, and Cai Taigen took over this task without shirking his responsibility. Then he personally led about 130 guerrillas, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's overnight construction, quietly infiltrated the young and strong team, and single-handedly planned this **.

Because of the importance of the Renqiu oil field, although the top level of the North China Front Army showed signs of taking precautions, its lower-level officers and men did not have such awareness. During the day, these devils still perform their duties as overseers decently, and at night, many of them begin to desert. The leader of tonight's overseers is Maseichiro Mura, a squadron leader under the 4th Brigade of the 21st Wing.

The village was disgusted with the poor food of the troops, and he did not eat a bite at dinner, and when it came to seven o'clock, he was so hungry. He found Lin Yang, the captain of the puppet army's plainclothes team, and said, "Lin Sang, the imperial army is hungry, yours, go to the nearby village and order some wine and food." ”

Lin Yang naturally didn't dare to refuse, and immediately nodded respectfully: "It's good!" Then he beckoned to his subordinates: "Brothers, if Taijun wants to fight tooth sacrifices, let's go and order wine and food." ”

Lin Yang's hands and feet were neat, and in less than half an hour, he scourged a village, led a pig, carried a few chickens, and returned to the construction site with two jars of rice wine. In order to let Taijun eat and drink well, he even caught a cook.

After another half an hour, a group of devil officers led by Muramasa ate and drank around the fire.

Lin Yang didn't know what to say, the cook they captured was actually one of Cai Taigen's subordinates. This cook is cunning and cunning, at least, he understands that this is exactly what the village who came here thinks, because the other party actually drugged the dish, and it was in front of him openly.

Muramasa is actually very cautious, so when the cook named Big Dog is cooking braised pork, he has been watching it himself. Seeing the big dog take out a small bottle from his body, it seemed that he was about to pour it into the pot, and the vigilant little devil immediately snatched it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then stared at a pair of fish bubble eyes and shouted: "Eight grids, what is this?" Poison? ”

The big dog hurriedly shook his hand: "Taijun, you wronged me, how can I have the guts, this, this is the seasoning." I add it and it is delicious. ”

The powder in that bottle does have a fragrance. Muramasa listened to it and was skeptical, he sniffed and sniffed, and stared at the eyes of the big dog again and again, and felt that he didn't see a flaw, so he handed the bottle back to him and said, "It's done, yours, eat two pieces first!" ”

"Yes, yes, Taijun, don't worry, I'll eat first." The big dog was drugged, the dishes were cooked, and in front of the village, he ate a few pieces of everything first, eating, and smashing his mouth.

The big dog's performance dispelled Muramasa's most doubts, and the little devil directly picked up a piece of braised pork with his hand and threw it into his mouth, chewed it beautifully, and then patted the big dog's shoulder and said: "Yours, the good people are very good!" ”

As soon as the village started, the other squad leaders were not polite, and more than a dozen devil officers surrounded a big plate of braised pork, a large plate of chicken soup, and a jar of rice wine, and they couldn't wait to eat and drink. Seeing this, the big dog took out a pill from his body and threw it into his mouth—it was the antidote he had prepared.

Muramasa waited for the devil officers to eat and drink first, and then it was the turn of those devil soldiers. And just when the big dog sent braised pork and other dishes to the sentry posts of the little devils, in the cornfield surrounded by the little devils, many young and strong men threw away the household goods that cut corn in their hands, some of them held the short guns hidden on their bodies, and some simply lay on the ground and pulled out the spears from the corn stalks. They stared at the big dog a little nervously, waiting for him to make a gesture.
