Chapter 100: Breaking In
Since the cavalry disguised as the Mongolian Xinjiang Army successfully attacked the north gate of Fengdian, the morale of the 391st Regiment was suddenly boosted. This battle not only killed dozens of devil soldiers of the enemy's Otsuka Wing on the spot, but also captured nearly 100 Mongolian horses and guns and equipment from the cavalry company of the puppet Mongolian army, which was enough for the whole regiment to improve their diet. The chief of staff took out thirty horses and exchanged a large amount of grain, vegetables, live chickens, pork, and even some wine and game with the people of several villages in the Great Elm Mountain. The 391st Regiment had lived a good life for the first time since it was driven into the mountains by the Japanese.
This is what Qin Zhongxiao wants. This battle can be described as killing three birds with one stone: it dealt a blow to the Japanese army, boosted morale, and solved the food shortage. He didn't care much about the Mongolian horses, and now the whole regiment was nested in a ravine with nine bends and eighteen bends, and even if the cavalry was formed, it was useless, so it was better to let the chief of staff exchange it for food.
Of course, the colonel of the Central Army also took into account that the Japanese would retaliate. They pretended to be the name of Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army this time, originally to scare the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army, but they may also inadvertently play a role in confusing the enemy. It's just that the Japanese have suffered a dumb loss, and they will definitely not give up. Qin Zhongxiao asked Zhao Mutou's spy company to continue to disguise mountain people and peddlers and wander around Fengdian to monitor the reaction of the Japanese army.
Sure enough, within a few days, the Japanese army and puppet army in Fengdian City were dispatched. Zhao Mutou's spies reported that there were about 100 cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army, and in the early morning they left the northern city to search and advance to the area where the Great Elm Mountain had been attacked, but this time, the puppet Mongolian army was not alone, they were followed by hundreds of Japanese soldiers, carrying heavy weapons. Obviously, they went to search for the Chinese troops who had set up an ambush there not long ago. But they searched all the valleys and sorghum in that area, but found nothing; Before dusk, this Japanese puppet army returned to Fengdian. The next day, the Japanese puppet army dispatched again and searched and suppressed a farther range in that direction, but still returned in vain.
Zhao Mutou personally led his men to monitor the enemy army on the adjacent mountain beam, and his men were scattered along the opponent's attack route. The commander of the special service company was worried that the Japanese army would find the path that winded to the 391st Regiment in the Great Elm Mountain, but in fact his worries were unnecessary. And just after the sun set the next day and watched the Japanese puppet army return to Fengdian County, one of his subordinates suddenly came to report that a car was parked in front of a farmer's house next to the highway outside Beicheng, suspected to be the car of a senior Japanese officer, and there was no escort around.
Zhao Mutou was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly sneaked out of the area with seven or eight brothers from the spy company, and in the twilight telescope vision, he could not see the situation in the car. However, the appearance of this high-end car so close to the Japanese-occupied county seat must have had a great deal of collusion with the Japanese, even if they were not Japanese officers.
Because he was traveling in civilian clothes, Zhao Mutou and his subordinates did not carry *, and they were carrying shell guns. The commander of the spy company ordered that once it was determined that the owner of the car was a Japanese soldier, regardless of whether he was an officer or a soldier, he would rush up and shoot him indiscriminately, and then quickly evacuate. He gave this order because he calculated that the owner of the sedan would soon come out of the dilapidated farmhouse.
Unexpectedly, to their great bewilderment, until the night was completely dark, no one was seen walking out of the farmhouse. They were hungry and cold, and watched from a distance until eight o'clock in the evening, when Zhao Mutou lost his patience, and he ordered two of his men to quietly lean over and check the car, only to find that the car was empty. The commander of the spy company was even more puzzled by the second monk - such a luxurious Chevrolet sedan actually stopped in front of the door of an obviously poor family, and it was not necessarily the owner of the car!
The farmhouse was pitch black, with no lights and no human voices, which aroused Zhao Mutou's curiosity even more, and he secretly ordered his men to surround the two-room farmhouse, and then, he chose a thin blade, inserted it into the crack of the door, and gently opened the latch inside.
They swarmed in and instantly controlled everyone on the kang in the outhouse and the inner house.
Wang Suihua, the female major of the military commander, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, was caught off guard, and was directly captured by the other party before she had time to pull out her gun, and in the darkness, she heard someone order to light a small torch with a match, and the room lit up, and the walls and ceiling were full of shadows.
Zhao Mutou's surprise at the moment was not inferior to that when he just found the car outside the door, looking at the noble lady wearing luxurious fur on the cold kang head, and the panicked middle-aged man with glasses next to her, the spy company commander didn't say anything for a while.
After all, Wang Suihua has received professional training and knows how to deal with changes without being surprised, she quickly looked at the group of uninvited guests under the firelight, although the clothes are varied, the guys in her hands turned out to be all twenty rings, and the female major of the military commander knew that she was in trouble - could it be someone from the Japanese secret service?
Knowing from the noble lady that they were doing business and staying here, Zhao Mutou would not believe it, and his eyes fell on the suitcase beside the middle-aged man.
"What's inside? Open it! ”
The subordinates quickly searched for the key to the suitcase, and the result of opening it surprised Zhao Mutou again, of course the commander of the spy company recognized the contents of the box, which was a standard military radio station, German goods.
"Search this woman!" Zhao Mutou snorted.
When it was too late, Wang Suihua grabbed the wrist of the person closest to her, snatched the other party's shell gun in the blink of an eye, and at the same time raised her foot and kicked over the other person next to her, but almost at the same time, four or five shell gun barrels with the nose wide open were firmly pressed against her head and chest. The female major of the military commander sighed secretly and stopped resisting.
This time, Zhao Mutou couldn't help but be impressed by this woman, he couldn't imagine that such a beautiful woman was actually a martial arts master! The company commander searched her with his own hands and found her pistol in the pocket of her leather jacket.
"Browning?!" Zhao Mutou couldn't believe his eyes, he whistled happily: "You little girl, with this thing on your body, what kind of business are you doing?" I think you're a Japanese spy! ”
Wang Suihua, who was almost desperate, listened to Zhao Mutou's last sentence, and her heart was overjoyed: because this place was close to the Japanese-occupied area, she had a preconceived idea that this group of intruders was a Japanese force, but now it seems that there are still variables.
"Brother, please don't talk nonsense, I am an upright Chinese." Wang Suihua cautiously tested.
Zhao Mutou and his subordinates couldn't help but say, and took out the letter of introduction of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" from her and Lao Liu, as well as a code book.
"And say it's not a Japanese spy?" By the light of the torch, Zhao Mutou pinched the letter of introduction and asked angrily: "What kind of bullshit is this provisional government, isn't it opened by the big traitors in Beiping?" What else do you have to say? ”
Wang Suihua smiled slightly: "Brother, please think about it the other way, if we are not Japanese spies and we have these things on us, then what do you say we should do?" ”
The spy company commander was stunned for a moment, he understood the meaning of the woman's words, and carefully looked at the man and woman who were subdued on the kang.
"Are you two doing things for the national government?"
"If we were to do things for the Japanese, wouldn't we be able to even enter a county town?"
Zhao Mutou hesitated.
"Brother, can you tell me your identity?" Wang Suihua then asked slyly, "You shouldn't be doing things for the Japanese, right?" ”
"Fart! Lao Tzu is the anti-Japanese Central Army! In the dark shadow, one of Zhao Mutou's subordinates shouted.
Wang Suihua became more and more bottom-up, and she remembered the number of the national army defending the city that Fang Moshu and his wife brought back when they first went to Fengdian to reconnoitre: "You are from the 391st regiment, right?" Is your chief nearby? ”
"You want to see my sir? Well, I'll fulfill you. Zhao Mutou waved his hand at his subordinates: "Take them away, be careful, this woman will punch and kick, tie her hands!" ”
Wu Zijian and Li Tianlin rushed to the vicinity of the Hongxing Gorge of Guanmen Mountain with half of the troops of the 5th Company, and the soldiers of the 8th Company, who had gone down the mountain to report the news, were identifying the path to the battlefield with the bandits, but they unexpectedly saw Lu Dajiang, the commander of the 8th Company, walking back with a team of soldiers and dejected.
Wu Zijian asked a few words out of breath, only to learn that the bandits had disappeared from the battlefield.
"These turtle suns, just left two machine guns to suppress us condescendingly," Lu Dajiang explained to the deputy battalion commander angrily and ashamedly: "The brigade didn't know when it slipped away, and when we found out, they caught up, and even the machine guns that were covering were gone." We searched for a long time, but we couldn't find their nest. ”
Wu Zijian looked at his 8th company commander in disbelief, wanting to scold but couldn't. Li Tianlin on the side started a fire: "Lao Lu, Lao Lu, you really show your face to our second battalion, the regular army of the dignified forest division, let a group of bandits lead the nose to play!" ”
Lu Dajiang's face was already flushed, and he had the heart to pay tribute to the 5th Company Commander, who had always been arrogant, thought about it, and closed his mouth again: It's really too embarrassing!
On the battlefield just now, he was still waiting for the bandits to continue negotiating, but he was first stunned by the fierce machine-gun fire that the other side suddenly began, and the other party's strafing fire was unrestrained, Lu Dajiang decided to endure it. After the machine gun stopped firing, the battlefield was quiet for a while, when a soldier in the far position reminded him that the rifle shooting in the mountain forest on the side had become very sparse, Lu Dajiang suddenly realized that he might have been hit by the bandits' golden cicada shelling plan, he ordered a platoon to charge the front first, and sure enough, there was no resistance, and when they all rushed to the bandits' position with great effort, they found that there was no one there.
The commander of the 8th company understands that he has been completely tricked by these bandits today, and he has made a mess!
