Chapter 1431: There are Japanese soldiers everywhere
Liu Zhengxiong, Gan Rong and others walked into the command post chatting and laughing.
Liu Zhengxiong said happily: "Chief! The devils have retreated."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The Japs are retreating but not retreating. They are like poisonous snakes. If they are not killed, they will definitely come back for revenge. They must be lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to rush up and bite us."
Liu Zhengxiong said angrily, "It's not as mysterious as you say."
At this time, Qian Fu's voice was heard from the radio loudspeaker.
"Boss! I was scouting behind enemy lines and found that the Japanese who were attacking us had stopped retreating and were hiding in the pine forest five miles south of the village. Some of them knew how to use the radio and had already contacted the higher-ups."
Xiang Chu responded: "Okay! Continue scouting and be careful and safe."
Gan Rong taunted, "Old Liu! The director is right, isn't he?"
Liu Zhengxiong asked in return, "Qian Fu saw it with his own eyes, how could he be wrong?"
Gan Rong shouted, "Old Liu, you are quite good at turning the tables."
Liu Zhengxiong picked up a sweet potato, took a bite, and said with a smile:
"I learned this from our chief!"
Xiang Chu scolded: "Aren't you afraid of worms when eating raw sweet potatoes? Roast them over the fire."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "That's right! I will roast sweet potatoes for you."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! You roast the sweet potatoes, and the others clean up. Set up mines, booby traps, and mechanical traps in the village. Let's prepare to retreat."
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Liu Zhengxiong shouted: "We are fighting well, why are we retreating?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't retreat, you will die here."
At this time, Ma Fugui received the telegram and reported loudly: "Chief! Chen Feng called and he wants to lead his troops to break through the Sanglin blockade and come to rescue you."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "This Chen Feng insisted on leading the army into the encirclement of the Japanese. Call him and Ai Hai immediately. The Japanese soldiers in Lijiazhai have been repelled by me. We will move immediately and do not send reinforcements."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, the radio station with the bamboo machine call sign sounded.
Liu Zhengxiong said hurriedly: "Let me practice!"
He rushed to the radio station to take notes, translated the message, and exclaimed:
"Chief! Genchun Noriyoshi telegraphed Doihara Kenji that he encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment in Lijiazhai, and asked him to come and encircle and suppress them."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the devils who attacked Lijiazhai were hurt, and they want to trick Doihara Xian'er into leading a large force to kill us together."
Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously: "I'll go and clean it up!"
Xiang Chu scolded: "Don't go! Sit down and listen to the radio carefully to understand the movements of the surrounding Japanese troops. I will go and make some arrangements to teach Doihara Ken'er a lesson."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Okay! I can just roast some more sweet potatoes to eat on the road."
Northeastwards, Wanxian Mountain in Huixian.
Kenji Doihara led the Ida Brigade into a village.
The village is located at the foot of a beautiful mountain and has an ancient charm.
Most of the villagers have fled, leaving only a few elderly people basking in the sun at the entrance of the village.
Doihara Ken'er looked at the village name and read:
"Yanshan Valley Village!"
Takahashi Komasa has already returned to the team and said tauntingly:
"General! It should be called Yanyu Village."
Doihara Kan'er rolled his eyes at him and ordered:
"Ida-kun! Go ask the local natives if this village is Yanshan Valley Village."
"Hello!"
Ida Mamoru bowed and accepted the order, pointing at the battalion chief of staff and ordered:
"Ito Dana! Your Chinese is good, go ask these Chinese old men."
"Hello!"
Ito Dana hurriedly accepted the order.
Takahashi Xiaozheng couldn't help but mutter: "The big lazy makes the small lazy."
Doihara Xian'er was annoyed by his sarcasm and scolded him:
"Takahashi Komasa! Send a telegram to Yuanchun Noriyoshi, asking how many Eighth Route Army soldiers there are in Lijiazhai. I need to lead the troops to help."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa bowed and accepted the order.
At this time, Ito Dana had already walked to the entrance of the village.
He drew out his command knife, put it on an old man's neck, and shouted:
"Old Chinese man! Tell me! What village is this?"
The old man was hard of hearing and didn’t know the devil’s cruelty, so he shouted loudly:
"Hey! What did you say?"
"Baka! Pretend you didn't hear anything."
Ito Dana roared and killed the old man with a single blow.
The old man next to him fell to the ground in fear and shouted, "Taijun! This place is called Yanyu Village."
Doihara Kan'er heard this and shouted, "Nonsense! Ida-kun! Immediately implement my 'Five Lights' policy on Yanshan Valley Village."
"Hello!"
Ida was really smart and quickly obeyed the order.
He drew his command knife, pointed at Yanyu Village and roared:
"Wuguang Yanshan Valley Village, kill!"
"kill--!"
The Japanese soldiers howled and rushed into the village, committing evil at will.
Doihara Ken'er looked at the flames rising into the sky and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yoshi! Wherever this general passes, no grass will grow!"
Takahashi Xiaozheng came over and reported:
"General! Yuanchun Jiyi called back and said that there are only 30 or so Eighth Route Army soldiers in Lijia Village. They can handle it. You should go fight the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment of Wuxing Mountain."
Doihara Kenji is used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so he doesn't want to take on tough tasks.
When he heard that there were only so few Eighth Route Army soldiers in Lijiazhai, he immediately became excited and waved his hand, saying, "No! I must go to Lijiazhai. After occupying Lijiazhai, I will use it as my command post."
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng smiled bitterly and said, "But there are only about 30 Eighth Route Army soldiers in Lijiazhai. Yuanchun Jiyi's battalion is more than enough. Do we still need to go there?"
Doihara Xian'er smiled mysteriously and said, "Silly! We can just go and annex his brigade. In addition, we will also train a group of dog soldiers in Lijiazhai."
Takahashi Xiaozheng shook his head and said, "General! Dogs are too weak in combat. Why not train a group of snake soldiers?"
Doihara Xian'er thought of the delicious snake meat, smacked his lips, and shook his head, saying, "Snakes are delicious, but they are too difficult to command."
Takahashi Komasa asked weakly, "General! Shall we reply to Minaharu Noriyoshi? Shall we go to Lijiazhai?"
Doihara Xian'er scolded: "Reply! You can't let him know my whereabouts, do you understand?"
Takahashi Xiaozheng said quickly: "I understand!"
Doihara Xian'er ordered: "Xiao Zheng! Gather the troops and rush to Lijiazhai as soon as possible."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa hurriedly accepted the order.
Lijiazhai, a busy scene.
Xiang Chuzheng was leading his men to set traps and lay mines in the village.
Xu Lai walked up to him and whispered:
"Brother Chu! Caiwei called. According to your request, the shadow spy Qian Gui has already set off with Dongxiang Pinglufu's keepsake and the finger with the ring. He will arrive in Luoyang soon. You can send someone to Luoyang Luoshui Hotel to meet him and pick him up."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Since Qian Gui is here to deliver the gift, then send Qian Fu to Luoyang to meet him."
Xu Lai asked with a smile: "Are Qian Fu and Qian Gui brothers?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! They are twins."
At this time, Liu Zhengxiong ran over and said anxiously:
"Chief! Let's retreat immediately. Doihara Ken'er is leading a large army here soon."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry? Which direction doesn't have Japanese troops?"
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "I listened carefully for a long time, and there were Japanese soldiers everywhere."
