Chapter 118
After cleaning the battlefield, Xu Hailang led the independent battalion back toward the defense area of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Just like the last trip to Xingxian, the special forces led by Wang Chengzhu and Duan Peng disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and opened the way ahead.
Only Wang Chengzhu in the entire independent battalion could speak Japanese, so he had to lead the team.
It’s not that Wang Chengzhu doesn’t want to teach Japanese to the special operations team members. The main reason is that language is different from other abilities and cannot be learned overnight. Before learning and training, it will not be of any help to engage in the espionage industry.
Especially spoken English, if you don't learn it well, others will be able to recognize it immediately...
The little devils in the checkpoints along the way never expected that an Eighth Route Army unit would penetrate deep into their occupied area, and they would dare to pretend to be Japanese troops and walk on the road with great arrogance.
Therefore, Wang Chengzhu led the Langya Special Forces to easily break through the Japanese strongholds along the way.
…
Heyuan County.
Hirata Ichiro was drinking tea leisurely with Zheng Qianyi, the president of the Heyuan County Maintenance Association, in the gendarmerie headquarters. Suddenly, a Japanese communications soldier hurried in from outside the door: "Captain, something bad is going on!"
Ichiro Hirata put down the tea cup in his hand, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The Japanese communications corps lowered his head and reported: "Reporting to captain, news has just arrived that the batch of sewing machines, fabrics and other materials transported by the imperial army from Taiyuan in order to expand the Heyuan County military uniform factory were robbed in Jigongling.
All the imperial troops in the transport team, including the team leader Taira Kumamoto Hisashi, were all smashed into pieces, no one was spared!"
Hearing this, Hirata Ichiro immediately stood up and said angrily: "Baga! What did you say?"
"Reporting to the captain, the batch of sewing machines, fabrics and other materials shipped from Taiyuan by the imperial army in order to expand the Heyuan County military uniform factory were robbed in Jigongling.
All the imperial troops in the transportation team, including the team leader Kumamoto Hisashi, were all smashed into pieces, and no one was spared!" The Japanese Communications Corps recounted the situation again.
Hirata Ichiro said coldly: "Do you know who did it?"
Japanese Communications Corps: "It is still unknown, but this Chinese army robbed the Imperial Army's machines and supplies and then evacuated towards the control area of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Therefore, it is possible that the Jinsui Army was involved in this matter."
The 358th Regiment did it.”
Hearing this, Hirata Ichiro's anger turned into surprise: "Nani? You said that this Chinese army has escaped from the imperial army's occupied area and did not find a place to hide?"
The Japanese communications soldier paused heavily: "Hi Yi!"
Ichiro Hirata: "How is this possible? The imperial army had checkpoints along the way. How could the Chinese escape back quietly? Could it be that they took a small road?
If so, where did those machines and supplies go?"
Japanese Communications Corpsman: "Back to the captain, the Chinese army took a big... road, and they also broke through the imperial army checkpoints along the way and killed all the imperial troops in the checkpoints."
"Baga! Idiots, what a bunch of idiots, it's not a pity to die! It's just that they can't stop these Chinese soldiers, they can't even send a signal!"
Ichiro Hirata slapped the coffee table in front of him hard, and with a "bang" sound, the tea sets on the table bounced up, and then fell to the ground one after another, smashing to pieces.
"Go and order the intelligence department to investigate this matter thoroughly for me! We must find out who did it! Focus on Jinsui Army 358!"
"Hiyi!"
The Japanese communications soldier nodded heavily, then turned and left to convey the order.
After the communications soldier left, Ichiro Hirata calmed down his inner anger and said to Zheng Qian who was sitting aside: "Mr. Zheng, I may not have time to accompany you, so I have to excuse myself."
As he said this, he was about to see off the guests.
Zheng Qianyi said in Japanese calmly: "Taijun Hirata, do you want to deal with the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army?"
Ichiro Hirata said: "Mr. Zheng, you can be considered a friend of my Empire of Japan. To be honest, I do plan to deal with the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."
"The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army has more than 5,000 troops. It is not only well-equipped, but also has an artillery battalion. It poses a great threat to the stability of northwest Shanxi."
"However, I only have one brigade of troops and no heavy firepower. It is not easy to destroy the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."
"But if it turns out that this batch of machines and supplies was really stolen by the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, then I will destroy it even if I take a little risk!"
Zheng Qianyi smiled slightly and said: "Taijun Hirata, if you want to deal with the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, I have a good way."
Hearing this, Hirata Ichiro was immediately happy and asked hurriedly: "I wonder if Mr. Zheng has any good ideas? Please tell me quickly."
Zheng Qianyi: "We have an old saying in China, which is to attack the city from the bottom and the heart from the top. To deal with the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, we may start from within them instead of attacking from the outside."
Ichiro Hirata: "Mr. Zheng, please continue."
Zheng Qianyi: "As far as I know, Qian Bojun, the commander of the first battalion of the 358th Regiment, is very ambitious. He has more than 2,000 people under his command, and his equipment is also very sophisticated. His strength has exceeded that of most of the Shanxi-Sui Army and even the
Commander of the Central Army.
Therefore, Qian Bojun has long been dissatisfied and only serves as a battalion commander under Chu Yunfei."
"If Taijun Hirata needs it, I can go to Lijia Town and act as a lobbyist for you."
Ichiro Hirata's eyes shone brightly and he said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to Mr. Zheng."
Next, the two people discussed in detail how to bribe Qian Bojun to rebel...
The other side.
After successfully leaving the Japanese-occupied area, Wang Chengzhu deliberately led his troops towards the defense area of the 358th Regiment for a while, then turned around and rushed towards Wangjiacun. At this time, he had entered the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the system prompt sounded in Wang Chengzhu's mind: "Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host for completing the task and obtaining the "Efficient Clothing Training Manual" skill book."
Then, Wang Chengzhu felt as if he had become a skilled fashion designer, cutter, and skilled lathe.
Various techniques related to clothing design, cutting, and sewing seemed to be imprinted on his mind.
Suddenly, a special operations team member who was responsible for exploring the road hurriedly turned back, ran up to Wang Chengzhu and said: "Batalion Commander, a large number of refugees have appeared in front of us."
"refugee?"
Wang Chengzhu looked puzzled.
In times of war, refugees are not uncommon.
The migration of refugees during the All-out Anti-Japanese War has been identified as 'one of the largest collective migrations in human history.'
According to later statistics, the war of aggression against China launched by the Japanese army resulted in hundreds of millions of refugees.
In addition to party, political and patriotic figures, these refugees also include businessmen, doctors, engineers, educators, freelancers, and skilled workers, etc.
Of course, farmers are the largest group, but compared to the above-mentioned groups, farmers hide close to each other and do not flee far away.
It's not that farmers don't want to flee far away, but they really don't have the ability to do so. They don't even have food to eat. If they flee far away, they will most likely starve to death on the road.
However, at the moment, the enemy and we are mainly engaged in confrontation, and no war has broken out.
Even if the little devil wants to occupy the land, he can't massacre all the nearby people, so how can there be a large number of refugees?
