And Eijiro Takeda, the head of the Japanese army's secret service in Taiyuan City, believes that it is time to close the net for the big fish of the 251st Regiment.

The sudden counterattack of the Imperial Army troops at the moment will put an end to this vicious incident of large-scale robbery of the areas occupied by the Imperial Army with the most resolute attitude.

For this reason, the Japanese command set a decision to focus on eliminating the Eighth Route Army and bandits, and incidentally striking at the military targets of the Nationalist Army and the Jin Sui Army.

The Japanese wanted to launch a fierce, cruel, rapid, and resolute counterattack with this sudden attack.

Completely eliminate the impact of bandits, the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army on the law and order in the occupied areas caused by the bandits, the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, by means of strong force, military force, the absolute authority of the Japanese troops in the occupied areas was re-established.

This is also the perfect start of the next phase of the military operation set by Yoshio Shinozuka - "Iron Rolling Sweep with Decapitation Operation".

At this juncture, the forces of all parties, including the attention of the people, are focused on the northwest of Shanxi.

Such a regiment that has been on the Republic of China Daily, and was even personally commended by Boss Chiang, and is known as the 251st Regiment of the National Army to resist Japan behind enemy lines.

If the Japanese surrendered suddenly.

In Eijiro Takeda's opinion, it can definitely cause a sensation.

It added another fire to the success of this great counterattack of the Japanese Empire.

"That's why, we're going to keep this 251 regiment to this day."

Led the negotiation team, rushed to the gate area of Taiyuan City in advance, and waited for the arrival of the 251st regiment Eijiro Takeda said.

The adjutant standing next to Eijiro Takeda was worried about another matter.

"Your Excellency, it's just that at present, it seems that this fish you raised is probably a little disobedient."

"Regarding the matter of persuading the 251st Regiment to surrender and be organized into the North China Public Security Army.

His Excellency the head of the organ even said that he would mobilize his superiors and promise Lu Duoxian, the commander of the 251st Regiment, to give them the establishment of a group army for the 251st Regiment.

This Lu Duoxian, you even personally agreed to confer the rank of lieutenant general and serve as the commander of the Fourth Group Army of the North China Public Security Army, which was reorganized from 251. ”

"But even so, regarding the matter of leading the 251st Regiment to surrender in Taiyuan City, this Lu Duoxian is still constantly looking for excuses to delay, this person should not have two hearts, right?"

The scheming Eijiro Takeda laughed and said disapprerovitically:

"The so-called Fourth Army is just a false title, is the number of commanders in the Imperial Allied Army still small?

The Imperial Association Army, which has more than 10,000 people, can even smash out more than 20 commanders.

This rank of lieutenant general is just a false appearance.

In fact, the 251st Regiment is still the same as it was, and it hasn't changed much, so why not recruit them to do things for our Great Japanese Empire? ”

"As for this Lu Duoxian, you can rest assured, I know this person's personality well, and the swallowing in front of me is just that this Lu Duoxian wants to sit on the ground and raise the price."

"By the way, how many people did Lu Duoxian come over this time?"

"More than a thousand." The devil adjutant said.

Eijiro Takeda nodded, "Only one-third of the strength of his 251st Regiment.

It seems that after many negotiations a few days ago, this Lu Duoxian has already moved his mind and is ready to lead a team to surrender to our Japanese Empire.

But it seems that he still wants to sit on the ground and raise the price, this time he only brought one-third of the troops, if we can't give him a satisfactory answer, the remaining two-thirds of the troops will be his bargaining chips. ”

"Your Excellency, this man is insatiable and hateful."

Eijiro Takeda shook his head and said, "Don't think so, if you want the Chinese to do things for us, and in turn beat the Chinese, don't give them some sweetness, how can you coax it?" ”

"This vision, we still have to take a long-term view."

"Hey!"

…………

On the other side, Eijiro Takeda is the main lord Lu Daxian.

He was leading more than 1,000 men and horses of the 251st Regiment on the mountain road.

This Lu Duoxian is nearly forty years old this year, and the biggest feature of the whole person is that he is rich, and his big round face almost covers his two ears, and when viewed from the front, it looks like a bare ball.

In this era, especially in the military, it is not common to be as rich as him.

Of course, if the front is tight, and some generals in the rear are tight, it is a different matter.

At this moment, the mellow Lu Duoxian was walking with fat legs, and he was still complaining, "Lao Liu, do you think I can not feel distressed?" Our more than 1,000 brothers, when we arrived in Taiyuan City, turned around and voted for the little devil and became the emperor's army. ”

Liu Cai, the deputy head of the 251st Regiment, said with a smile on his face: "Tuanzuo, it's wrong for you to think like this, my subordinates haven't seen it, and who else is smarter than Tuanzao." ”

"Take our 251st Regiment as an example, the Battle of Xinkou was defeated, you can preserve the strength of our whole regiment, not to mention, in more than three years, the strength of the whole regiment has grown to more than 3,000 people."

"Just rush this, now on the boundaries of all sides, who hears your name in the group, doesn't it have to give a thumbs up immediately?"

"As for the defection of the Japanese to the Imperial Association Army this time, the original meaning of the little devil was to fool us and let us pass, and then we will still be the Imperial Association Army.

But the regiment commander, you have made excuses to delay three or two times, hey, this is good, the little devil directly agreed, and gave our 251st Regiment a group army establishment.

After this time has passed, Tuanza, you will be a commander in the future, or with the rank of lieutenant general, this is a matter of glory to the ancestors.

I heard that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, is just a lieutenant general, and you can even be on an equal footing with him. ”

When Lu Duoxian heard this, he felt a lot better, squinted his eyes and asked, "So, we don't lose?" ”

Liu Cai said: "Tuanzuo, we will definitely not lose, in addition, have you forgotten that the current is only one-third of the strength of our 251 Regiment, and there are two-thirds of the brothers in the back, the little devil wants to incorporate our entire army, without a little blood, so what can you do?" ”

Lu Duoqian laughed and said: "This is called sitting on the ground, back then the little devil left our 251 regiment, what about him, did the little devil think that Lao Tzu didn't know what they were thinking?" Don't you just want to use us to contain the Eighth Route Army! ”

"This little devil wants to take advantage of us, but he has to let Lao Tzu take advantage of it, so I don't care about him, in the past few years, I have seized the time to develop, whether it is equipment or materials, if it is not enough, just take care of him Little devil."

"Not long ago, the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale sabotage operation, and then the trend of robbing the devil-occupied areas everywhere during this time, these days, the little devils have a headache!"

"At this juncture, that old devil from Takeda wants to come and incorporate our 251st regiment, if Lao Tzu doesn't raise the price again, he will really become a fool."

Liu Cai hurriedly nodded in agreement, praised a few sycophants such as the cleverness of the group, and then tried to ask:

"Tuanzao, then our 251st regiment, is this really a little devil who voted for him?"

Lu Duoxian pretended to sigh and said, "Lao Liu, this life is alive, and there are many things that we don't want to do as we want.

Takeda, this old devil, won't fool us in this regard.

In addition, the sabotage operation of the Eighth Route Army not long ago really frightened us, and the little devil was probably scared enough.

Next, the little devil will definitely make a big move behind the enemy, if we don't know the practice anymore, and the little devil will carry it hard.

Don't look at the devil's eyebrows and our eyebrows, when the time comes, clean us up, and we have no place to cry.

It's better to take advantage of the situation to sit on the ground and raise the price, get more benefits and then choose to surrender. ”

"As for our concept of being the Emperor's Army, being in Cao Ying, being in Han, and saving the country with curves, we know it in our hearts.

Besides, we have never let go of dealing with the Eighth Route Army.

When did the chairman of the committee lead the troops to fight, and the little devils couldn't hold on anymore, at this time, let's hold high the banner again, and in turn act as an internal response, are you still afraid that there will be no credit for us at that time? ”

This Lu Duoxian is worthy of being an old fox, and he plays a good hand.

It is exquisite, and when you see the wind and rudder, you can mix it with food wherever you go.

The little devil in front of him was powerful, so he took the benefit and voted for the little devil.

In the future, when the national army is powerful, it will rebel again, and it will be enough to "return to the party-state" with one hand.

Liu Cai, the deputy head of the regiment, admired the five-body throw.

Or someone else is the head of the regiment!

"The group seat is smart, and the humble position is far worse."

Hahahaha –

The two old bastards were talking, and the communications corps rushed to report.

"Report to the regiment, the rearguard unit has encountered a group of bandits, and someone has been sent to block it."

"Bandits?" Lu Duoxian wondered.

"What are the bandits running here for?"

The communication soldier said: "Listening to the bandit who took the lead, it seems that he came to rob around here." ”

"How many of them are there?"

"A team of twenty or thirty people."

"Interesting, it seems that it also follows the trend of robbing the areas occupied by devils, let's go, Lao Liu, let's take a look."

"Yes, Danza."

But who are these bandits?

It was a coincidence that it was a group of bandits from Xiaoliang Mountain who escaped from Dalong Mountain near Tan County.

The big boss is Liu Baisheng, who is known as timely rain.

Speaking of which, there was a boom in robbery of the Japanese-occupied areas during this period.

Although the initiator is Kong Jie, the head of the independent regiment, who can add fuel to the fire, this Liu Baisheng is a very important part.

If it weren't for him, he sent news to the major bandit villages around the area occupied by the devils, saying that the areas occupied by the devils had a cheap advantage.

The bandits in the northwest of Jin Province will not participate in the camp of robbing the areas occupied by the devils.

If the bandits were not the first to make trouble and rob, the Eighth Route Army behind would not join them.

In the end, even the Jin Sui Army, the National Army, and the Central Army all came to join in the fun.

It has evolved into a craze for robbing the area occupied by the devils in front of you.

It is said that after Liu Baisheng escaped from Dalong Mountain with the bandits of Xiaoliang Mountain, he took the opportunity to catch a few handfuls in the devil-occupied area, and took advantage of the sweetness, and he couldn't hold it back.

This gang of bandits is not many in number, but there are a lot of robbers, from Tan County to the vicinity of Taiyuan City.

As for the sudden counterattack launched by the Japanese army, it started from Yangquan as the central point.

On the side of Taiyuan City, because the Japanese army was more strictly enforced, it did not break out at the first time.

Coupled with the counterattack of the Japanese army, it was only just the beginning.

The news was blocked, so that the bandits in Xiaoliangshan had not yet received information that the Japanese army had begun to counterattack.

Including some counties, villages and towns around Taiyuan City, they have not yet received news.

This Liu Baisheng, as usual, is taking his own team of bandits today, and wants to take a look around here to see if there is any chance to start.

As a result, it just collided with the troops of the 251st Regiment, so that the rear guard of the 251st Regiment was blocked.

There is also this scene in front of me.

The two sides met.

At this time, Liu Baisheng and his entourage had already been disarmed, looking like they had fallen blood mold, and they were honestly squatting together.

Liu Caiyu asked, "Which of you bandits is in charge?" ”

Liu Baisheng got up and hurriedly replied: "I've seen the chief, I am Liu Baisheng, the big boss of Xiaoliang Mountain." ”

"Xiaoliangshan?"

"Sir, we were originally bandits on Dalong Mountain near Tan County, nicknamed Xiaoliang Mountain."

Lu Duoxian said happily: "It's a little interesting, I've heard of you, it seems that you gang of bandits were the first to rob the devil's bank, right?" ”

Liu Baisheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't bother to explain, anyway, he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River now, so he nodded honestly.

"What are you doing here?"

Liu Baisheng said: "Sir, I am taking my brothers to step on a little bit in front of me, preparing to enter the devil occupation area again and grab some things!" ”

The news that the Japanese army has secretly prepared for a big counterattack, Lu Duoxian is still unclear, and the intelligence on his side is still stuck in the big tide of robbing the area occupied by the devils.

"So, the supplies and cash of the devil's puppet army are really so easy to grab?" Lu Duoxian said suspiciously.

Liu Baisheng nodded hurriedly, he was eager to turn the attention of Lu Duoxian and the others away.

In case this master accidentally shoots his group again, there is no place to reason.

"Sir, it's really easy to rob, during this time, I have been robbing shops, banks and the like everywhere in the devil-occupied area.

But whoever makes a move, he can reap some benefits.

However, around Taiyuan City, in fact, there are quite few robberies these days, and the materials and cash in the county town are quite abundant. ”

The interests are moving, Lu Duoxian immediately turned his head sideways and said to Liu Cai in a low voice:

"Lao Liu, the words of this bandit reminded me, we are also ready to take refuge in the little devil, why don't we vote for him again before we take refuge?

I've heard about it after I became an Imperial Army.

The devils basically do not distribute equipment and materials to the Imperial Army, and they are all prepared by the puppet military government itself.

After we pass, if we want to live a comfortable life in the group, I guess we will have to work harder. ”

It's always a good idea to save a little more money right now. ”

"Since these twenty or thirty bandits can go to the devil-occupied area to grab something, we will definitely be able to do it."

Liu Cai thought for a while, and immediately responded: "Tuanzuo, I think this idea has come true, after the big robbery boom began during this time, because our relationship with the devil is different, we haven't been able to make a good move, so I'm afraid that the little devil will catch the handle."

But right now, we're ready to go to Taiyuan City to join the devils, and we have a vote on the way, and the little devils shouldn't be suspicious of us. ”

"Oh, you got an idea?" Lu Duoxian said in surprise.

Liu Cai looked at Liu Baisheng and his party in front of him with a wicked smile, and said: "Tuanzuo, isn't there an opportunity in front of us, if we pretend to be a bandit team and enter the county town to rob usably, what do you think?" ”

"That's a good idea." Lu Duoqian was immediately moved, and the two old foxes hit it off.

After discussing in a low voice, Lu Duoxian strode up to Liu Baisheng and his group of bandits, and said loudly:

"Brother Liu, these years, you are bandits, it is not easy, we meet is fate, rest assured, we are all Chinese, I will not kill you."

"In this way, let's work together to make a deal, and when it's done, I'll let you go, how about it?"

Under the eaves, seeing that Lu Duoxian was willing to release people, Liu Baisheng dared to hesitate, and hurriedly responded:

"Please command, sir, we will definitely cooperate."

Lu Duoxian laughed and said, "Okay, happy, like this, like this......"

………………

Ten minutes later.

Lu Duoxian led the team of the 251st Regiment to continue to set off in the direction of Taiyuan City, but this time the speed slowed down a lot.

And in the middle of the way, this Lu Duoxian seemed to be unable to do his feet, and he even stopped and stopped, constantly letting the soldiers rest in place.

Do?

Deliberately procrastinating for time.

It turned out that after Lu Duoxian left with the team, Liu Cai, the deputy head of the regiment, secretly took two hundred soldiers from the 251st Regiment, as well as Liu Baisheng and his party, and left halfway.

What to do?

The co-robbers went to the occupied area.

The target location of the robbery was a town in the middle of Taiyuan City and Yangquan.

Liu Baisheng and his entourage of bandits were responsible for leading the way, and they first went to the bandit village where Liu Baisheng and his party were.

Liu Cai's soldiers all changed into bandit clothes.

Liu Baisheng's group of bandits, although the number is not large, but during this period of time they robbed everywhere, but they also saved some clothes in the stockade, and barely scraped together 200 sets to change into the soldiers of the 251st Regiment.

Immediately, a new team of bandits was born.

At first glance, it looks like that.

Then the gang of bandits set off towards the town occupied by the devils.

The conditions, Lu Duoxian and Liu Baisheng have discussed it.

As long as Liu Baisheng and these bandits can take the soldiers of the 251st Regiment into the town and successfully grab supplies and cash.

Lu Duoxian agreed, not only gave Liu Baisheng a part, but also let them go directly.

Liu Baisheng thought about it, this person has a lot of strength, and more than 200 people entered the county town to rob, and the success rate must be higher.

It is a good thing to be able to live and get some benefits, so I naturally nodded and agreed.

On the other side, Lu Duoxian continued to lead the team, trying his best to delay time, waiting for the rendezvous with the deputy head Liu Cai and others.

Looking forward to Liu Cai and them, they can grab more materials, cash or something back.

But he waited like this, and he didn't know how long he waited, and he didn't wait for news.

Even if the team deliberately stopped and stopped, they were approaching Taiyuan City.

On the side of Taiyuan City, the devil Eijiro Takeda couldn't wait, and while scolding Lu Duoxian, he sent someone to pick up the 251st Regiment in advance.

After the team that the devil responded to, there was no movement on Liu Cai's side.

Lu Duoxian had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to set off in the direction of Taiyuan City with the team.

Only this time, under the urging of the leader of the devil squad who answered, Lu Duoxian could no longer wantonly delay time.
