Chapter 136 Wolf Dog (1)
Ono's words were obviously provocative, and Tsukada wouldn't be unable to hear them. He glanced at this fat and indifferent guy, and then he felt the same contemptuous view as his dead brother. How could such a brainless guy get into the rank of the Grand Master? How could such a visionless guy stay by Commander Miyamoto for so long?
"Ono, can you close your mouth?" Tsukata did not refute, but Miyamoto spoke first. From his squinting eyes on Ono, Tsukata saw the information he wanted. This guy was not very popular with Commander Miyamoto.
"If these people are not the Eighth Route Army, who are they?" After scolding Ono, Miyamoto asked Tsukada again.
"The subordinates were also very confused at the time, so after arriving in Laiyuan, they specifically asked several grassroots officers and soldiers, and confirmed from them that my judgment was correct."
"What did you hear?" Ono asked. He was a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. He was scolded by Miyamoto and still couldn't remember it.
"Sanlang actually found on Qingtengling that the people who were ambushed and annihilated by him were not the Eighth Route Army!" Tsukada said in a narrow voice: "He not only inspected the bodies on the battlefield, but also the supplies these people carried with him. I believe that with his ability, it is absolutely impossible not to see that these people are not the Eighth Route Army that he wants to destroy!" Speaking of this, Tsukada showed an incomprehensible expression and said to Miyamoto: "It's just that I can't figure it out. He had clearly seen it, but he reported that the Eighth Route Army that he had annihilated was.
"You don't need to spend time guessing and inferences about this. I know what Grandpa Tsukada thinks." As soon as he said that, Miyamoto immediately understood the idea of Grandpa Tsukada's report. In Laiyuan, the Yangzhuang watchtower was first removed, and not long after, even the Shangzhuang watchtower on the edge of the county town was removed. It was also confirmed that the main force of the Eighth Route Army entered Laiyuan. However, after spending so much time and manpower, he could not block the Eighth Route Army. He was worried that he would blame him, and even feared that he would no longer be trusted by him, so he pointed out those who were not the Eighth Route Army as the Eighth Route Army.
"Commander, Tsukada wants to ask you to tell..."
"Sa Tsukata Naka, if you don't say something, you're good to your brother who is broken. Don't worry about this meaningless answer, and continue to tell your discovery." Miyamoto picked up a glass of sake on the low table beside him, raised his head and drank it all. His face was still so plain, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised, with a smile that seemed to be a smile.
"Hi!" Since Commander Miyamoto had already said this, Tsukada would certainly not be stupid enough to ask. He continued: "I interrogated Saburo for some of the soldiers around him when he checked the battlefield, and got a name from them, Nimashan!"
Tsukada made the words "Rima Mountain" very important, obviously because he had a deep hatred for the place represented by this name. He had just arrived in Laiyuan and had never heard of it before, but combined with many clues and details, he pointed the hatred that killed Tsukada Saburo at Nima Mountain.
"Erma Mountain? What is this place?" Miyamoto asked in confusion.
"Your Excellency Commander, I really need this captain to answer you in this question." Tsukada pointed at Captain Yamashita. When he said that he did not continue to leave his troops to ambush at Qingtengling, he found that Captain Yamashita bowed his head in shame, and then he realized that this person was Saburo Tsukada.
"Captain Yamashita, can you tell me what Nima Mountain is located in what Zuzuka Tanaka Sa said?" Miyamoto looked at Yamashita, who had never dared to speak, and his chest was already wet with sweat on his back.
"Report to the commander, Erma Mountain is a mountain in Laiyuan. I think what Zukata Nakasa wants to hear is not the place Erma Mountain, but the people on Erma Mountain."
Tsukada was obviously satisfied with Captain Yamashita's words, so he made a continued gesture and signaled Captain Yamashita to continue.
"There is a bandit nest in Erma Mountain, with 2300 people on it. However, they had already joined the Imperial Army a few months ago. Captain Guigu went there several times and gave them some guns and supplies."
"Supplement and weapons to the bandits? Why?" The answer was obviously beyond Tsukada's expectations. He asked: "Wouldn't you be incorporated into the Imperial Army if you surrender to the Imperial Army? Why did you still let them stay in Erma Mountain?"
"This is what Captain Tsukada's meaning. During this period, the bandits in Laiyuan were very serious. He wanted to use bandits to control bandits." Yamashita answered truthfully.
"Bandits to control bandits! It's ridiculous. Saburo has been smart for a lifetime and is confused for a while. How could he think of such a stupid idea of raising a tiger for trouble?" Tsukada could roughly deduce a contour in his mind. His brother's original intention was good, but he did not expect that the one who fell into the straits in Erma Mountain was not ordinary bandits at all, but a national army unit that was unwilling to escape. If it weren't for this large-scale clearance, the gang of people in Erma Mountain would have mistakenly thought that they would suffer, and the future result would probably be even more difficult to deal with. Thinking of this, Tsukada also inferred why Commander Miyamoto didn't let him ask Saburo for lying about military affairs. He was preserving the last trace of dignity for Saburo and the dignity of a samurai.
"Zuzuka Nakasa, according to your statement, the enemies that Zuizuka Dazuka annihilated on Qingtengling are bandits from Erma Mountain, and they are the regular Chinese troops lurking in Laiyuan, are they?"
"Yes, Commander, I dare to guarantee with the dignity of the warriors that if they are not bandits from Ermashan, their subordinates will voluntarily cut off their stomachs!"
"Tell me the order, gather the troops immediately to clear Erma Mountain!" Miyamoto stood up, his narrow eyes shining.
"Please wait a moment," Tsukada stopped Miyamoto, "Commander, I have sent people to check before I come. As long as they are still there, they will definitely not be able to escape the palm of the Imperial Army, so there is no rush to be at this moment."
"Don't you want to avenge Major Tsukada earlier?" Miyamoto didn't understand his intention. If it were Ono, he would have been clamoring to send troops.
"Of course I want to avenge Saburo is my biggest wish at the moment, but..." Tsukada's expression began to become a little deep and ferocious. "We have more important things to do now!"
"What is more important than revenge on Lieutenant Tsukada?"
"Fishing! We have the best bait, so it would be a pity if we don't use it to catch a big fish?"
"Fishing? Bait? Tsuka Tanaka Sa, what are you going to say?"
Even Miyamoto didn't understand Tsukada's words, let alone Major Ono and Captain Yamashita.
