Xiao Junping heard the news alone, and until the sad and angry tone of the female announcer of the Hankou Radio Station disappeared, the staff officers of the Jin army did not break free from the shock.

Otsuka Wing, the Otsuka Wing of the Sena Division of the Japanese Army!

Xiao Junping recalled that he led a telecommunications squad and escort company of the brigade headquarters from Wencheng to aid Fengdian, but it was the cavalry of this Sena division that was routed and pursued outside the city. Unexpectedly, this group of brutal devils actually carried out large-scale massacres and rape against defenseless people after they conquered Fengdian!

Female telecommunications soldier!

At this moment, Xiao Junping suddenly remembered the * and brutal killing carried out by the cavalry of the Sena Division when they captured his female telegraph soldiers in the valley of Dawangyu - the brutal nature of this group of Japanese soldiers was undoubtedly revealed at that time.

Fengdian is lost, what is happening to Wencheng now? Xiao Junping was anxious, and he couldn't help but resent this Eighth Route Army team that ran to the mountains with him-run! Run! You know what to do when you run, leave your allies, leave your compatriots, and run into this wilderness!?

The 5th Company and 1st Platoon followed by the staff officers of the Jin Army were stationed in an idle house in Hekou Village at the foot of Guanmen Mountain, and he was in the same room with Wu Zijian. At this time, Wu Zijian and Xia Lianshan, who were panting and running, looked at each other in shock after listening to Xiao Junping's painful story.

And Xia Lianshan immediately thought of the safety of his sister Xia Baihe's family, he grabbed Wu Zijian's thick arm, and almost pleaded:

"Deputy battalion commander, I'm going to Fengdian now! Please give my go, I don't bring any fighters, you just let me go alone! ”

Xiao Junping stopped his angry accusations against the second battalion, and he looked at the deputy company commander of the 5th company with sympathy: Yes, what he is concerned about is only the army city, and the relatives of the deputy company commander Xia are in Fengdian City, God bless him and his relatives!

Wu Zijian held Xia Lianshan's hand on his arm with one hand, looked at him fixedly for a moment, and then said sadly: "I agree with you to go, but not alone!" Now, this is not just your family matter, this is related to the honor and disgrace of the entire Eighth Route Army Forest Division! Staff Officer Xiao was right in criticizing, our second battalion is responsible for the loss of Fengdian and the slaughter of the people of the whole city! ”

Xia Lianshan's tears flowed down, he let go of the arm of the deputy battalion commander, squatted on the ground weakly, and sobbed silently.

Wu Zijian made a decision immediately, and Xia Lianshan led the investigation team to Fengdian again. According to the content of the Central News Agency, Xiao Junping judged that the Japanese army, which had completed the cover-up operation of the massacre, had opened the city gates to allow people to enter and exit. Wu Zijian asked Xia Lianshan's reconnaissance group to try to enter the county seat and find out the deployment of the Japanese troops left there and the whereabouts of the two friendly forces.

This shame, the second battalion must be snowy!

"Chief Xia, I said something that maybe shouldn't be said," the Jin army staff officer on the sickbed said to Xia Lianshan in a low voice, word by word: "I understand your feelings of worrying about the safety of your relatives, but if you engage in intelligence, don't care about it, you must calm down and not be impulsive." ”

After Xia Lianshan wiped his face, he replied resolutely: "Don't worry, Staff Officer Xiao, I can distinguish family affairs and state affairs!" ”

Wu Zijian sent three warriors to accompany Xia Lianshan, and this was all the warriors who could ride horses among the warriors who stayed in the mountain pass. Previously, considering the rugged road into the mountain, the main force of the 2nd Battalion left most of the horses in Hekou Village when it turned to the mountain, and Xia Lianshan was planning to carry out horseback riding training for a whole platoon of soldiers.

Before leaving, Xiao Junping seized the time and described to Xia Lianshan the sequence composition, number characteristics, and armament of a division of the Japanese army, so as to facilitate his reconnaissance and take a seat with the right number; Xia Lianshan carefully memorized word by word. Like many grassroots commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army, he was also unfamiliar and ignorant of the Japanese army's unique military structure. Wu Zijian told him that once he could enter the city, he should not waste time and try to find out the situation as accurately as possible.

Seeing off Xia Lianshan and his entourage, Wu Zijian continued to study the situation with Xiao Junping. The staff officer of the Jin army suggested that he simply send a reconnaissance team in the direction of Wencheng and Lingshi to determine whether Wencheng was still in the hands of the national army, and at the same time try to find out the whereabouts of the Japanese troops who Xia Lianshan saw on the outskirts of Fengdian last time and drove to Wencheng.

"Sir Wu, now your army is lonely behind the enemy," Xiao Junping took the map drawn by Xia Lianshan and pointed to the markings on it and said: "The two key points in your north: Fengdian and Wencheng, are very likely to have been occupied by the Japanese army, and the Tongpu railway line in the west is only more than 20 miles away from here, and the point of Lingshi is the closest point on the railway line to you. ”

Xiao Junping had already made many errata and corrections to this hand-drawn local map drawn by Xia Lianshan based on his memory of examining the military map at the headquarters of the 12th Brigade of the Independent Brigade. Through these two days of getting along with Wu Zijian, the staff officers of the Jin Army gradually understood the purpose of the battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division to venture into this unfamiliar area alone, and he had his own understanding of the word "base area": that is another way of saying grabbing territory.

Wu Zijian looked at the map and listened to Xiao Junping's explanation seriously. He really had a sense of crisis - he had always imagined that Guanmen Mountain was a blank area where there were neither Japanese troops nor national troops, and he could let go of building a base area, but at this moment, looking at the map in Xiao Junping's hand and listening to the analysis of this intelligence staff officer, the deputy commander of the second battalion felt extremely heavy.

According to Xiao Junping's suggestion, he asked the villagers of Hekou Village to help, and sent two reconnaissance teams to Wencheng and Lingshi respectively, driving the carriage and donkey cart to go. At the same time, he wrote a brief explanation of the situation, preparing to send people into the mountain to find the main force of the second battalion that was being transferred to the mountain and was setting up camp, and asked the battalion commander to send Li Tianlin to pull out the entire 5th company and return to the mountain pass to strengthen the defense force of the first line.

"Do you want Xiao Zhang to come and get the repaired radio back?"

It was Xiao Junping who spoke.

Wu Zijian heard the insincerity of the Jin army staff officer behind the pretending nonchalant tone, he smiled secretly, paused for a moment, and said: "I can ask Xiao Zhang to come to the paperwork, please hurry up and make a copy of the map drawn by Deputy Company Commander Xia, and let Xiao Zhang take it back to the battalion headquarters." As for the radio, I think it's better to stay with us for now, you turn it on every day and listen to it, and you can get a lot of news from the outside. lest we sit in the mountains and watch the sky, and the blind man touches the elephant! ”

The staff officer of the Jin army secretly breathed a sigh of relief: he really wanted to see Zhang Xiu, but he was really unwilling to send the radio back to the deep mountains - this unremarkable Chief Wu was really a quiet and powerful character!

The bandits of the Black Stone Cliff ran back to the bandits' nest in a panic to report: The Eighth Route Army has entered the mountain!

Liu Wumei, the female bandit leader, was lazily leaning against the hot brazier, playing Go with her cousin Xiaoju, while the sisters were eating the specialty they brought back from Wencheng last time: ice dates and peach kernels (that was also a gift from the military commander agent Li Yan to the female boss). After getting this amazing news, Liu Wumei was almost choked by a walnut kernel: Eighth Route Army?! What are they doing here?!

The minions who reported the news were originally hunting hares in the mountains, and were touched by a few armed soldiers of the national army, and the minions knew a few words, and the word "eight roads" on the armbands of the soldiers of the national army was still recognized. The other party was quite kind, thinking that he was a local hunter with a shotgun (fortunately, it was not a standard gun like Zhongzheng and 38 Dagai, both of which were armed with Black Rock Cliff), and walked away after asking a few words.

Liu Wumei was shocked.

Balu shouldn't have come for her, in the past few years, when his subordinates were making trouble, the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army stationed in Wencheng organized a team to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, but they couldn't do anything to her. The Eighth Route Army, but it has never appeared in this area, I heard that they have been in the north of Jin.

The Japanese came, and so did the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese occupied Fengdian and Wencheng, and the Eighth Route Army even touched Guanmen Mountain! What did they mean by going into the mountains? In the future, how will you live the days of robbing houses?

Liu Wumei, who had no intention of playing chess again, sent her cousin away, summoned her master, and urgently discussed the situation.

Last time, Liu Wumei killed the ruffian who molested her and her cousin in Wencheng, and then saw the devil's attack on Wencheng outside the city. Not long after they returned to the mountain, Wangzi, the bodyguard who stayed in Wencheng Baoyuan Restaurant, also came back, and Wangzi brought back two news, one is that Wencheng was occupied by the Japanese soldiers without blood, and the 12th Brigade abandoned the city and fled south; And then there is Bai Baoyuan, the second leader, who has already mastered the background of the gang of mischievous ruffians who molested the big boss last time. For this reason, the female bandit leader is already planning to go to Wencheng again.

At this moment, the summoned master listened to this sudden situation, stroked his goatee for a long time, and did not squeak. The master was also a well-informed generation back then, but now he has been nested in the mountains for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the current situation, and he knows even less about the Eighth Route Army. After pondering for a long time, the master suggested that a few more spies be released, all dressed as hunters, medicine collectors, and mountain goods hunters, and groped towards the area where the little minions met the Eighth Route Army, to see if they could be found again; If you see them, it's best to find out their intentions in the mountains. Judging from the location, they were not very close to the road of the Black Rock Cliff.

Liu Wumei thought about it, and she had to do it first. She ordered the three leaders in charge of the armed forces of the cottage to restrain their subordinates, suspend all activities in recent days, and no one should carry weapons out of the village without receiving an order.

"Master, I want to go out for a walk in person," the female bandit leader said anxiously: "As the old saying goes, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, I have to figure out the number of these eight roads." Also, by the way, I will go to Wencheng again - the Japanese are here, and I am a little worried about the second master's place. ”

The master nodded: "Big boss, it's okay for you to go." The Eighth Route Army, we have never been clear about their style; It is said that they are also from bandits, so you have to be careful of their true intentions in coming to Guanmen Mountain. ”

Liu Wumei immediately asked a few bodyguards to prepare, and the female bandits first wanted to meet the mysterious force that crossed the Yellow River in person.
