Chapter 619: The Bandits Who Cover Up the Peace
In order to seize the poison gas bomb, Xiang Chu called Gan Rong over and pointed at the map and instructed:
"Captain Gan! Take your elite commandos to Hanshou and seize the 10,000 poison gas bombs that Takahashi Daisho, a subordinate of Kenji Doihara, transported from Wuhan to Hanshou."
Gan Rong looked at the map, thought for a moment and said, "General! To make it easier to capture the city, can I bring a hundred poison gas bombs with me?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course. You should try to arrive before Gao Qiao Dazheng arrives in Hanshou. I will tell you his specific location in advance. Be careful along the way."
"understand!"
Gan Rong hurriedly took the order and ran down the armored vehicle.
Yu Xiaowan clapped her hands and laughed, "The elite commando team will definitely be able to grab the poison gas bombs if they go over there."
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "But why did Doihara Xian'er go to Hanshou? Is he sick?"
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "Doihara Xian'er is just sick, don't think about him anymore."
"Why do I miss him?"
Xiang Chu said unhappily, and seeing Kong Ling still observing with a telescope, he smiled and said,
"Fifty thousand motherfuckers! Why are you so focused?"
Kong Ling asked anxiously, "Five thousand! Didn't the wounded soldiers in the Black Wind Village withdraw?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I have sent the wounded soldiers into the treasure cave in advance."
Kong Ling patted his chest and said, "You scared me!"
Xiang Chu praised: "You have a heart of a bodhisattva."
Yu Xiaowan reminded: "Five thousand of her parents! The Japanese bombers are gone."
Xiang Chu picked up the radio and shouted, "Keep going! Li Tong! Send out the reconnaissance company to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the bandit Qin Tianbao."
"Yes!"
Li Tong and the commanders of various divisions and regiments hurriedly received the order.
At this time, the radio station with the call sign of the 34th Army received a signal.
Yu Xiaowan hurried forward to transcribe and translate the message, then handed it to Xiang Chu and said, "Brother Chu! Zeng Yun's 1st Army Group asked where we are and asked us to wait for them."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Who will wait for them?"
Kong Ling said anxiously: "Don't be so heartless, just say that our army has entered Hunan and ask them where they are."
"it is good!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram.
Soon, the 1st Army Group replied: "The vanguard Lin Qiaoer's 1st Mixed Division has set out from Qiandu, and the main force has just set out from Diandu."
"Lin Qiaoer is now the commander of the Mixed 1st Division?!"
Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan both exclaimed in surprise.
Kong Ling said angrily, "What a fuss! Is it strange for a woman to be a teacher?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! This Lin Qiao'er might be a Japanese spy."
"real?!"
Kong Ling was stunned, and after a while she said, "Let's ignore her for now, and report to the Ninth War Zone first. We have entered Hunan, and according to the order of the Supreme Command, we are going to Xiangbei to fight the Doihara Brigade."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I'll listen to you! I hope Old Xue won't assign me any tasks."
Kong Ling said angrily: "You have an order from the Supreme Command, Lao Xue won't do that."
Yu Xiaowan sent a telegram to the Ninth War Zone, and soon received a reply: "34th Army! Please destroy Qin Tianbao, the bandit who has been causing trouble in Hunan and Guizhou for several years and plotting to surrender to the devil! Ninth War Zone."
Kong Ling shook her head and said, "What a random assignment, Xiaowan! Send a message to refuse to execute this order."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "No! Otherwise, how can our 34th Army survive in the Ninth War Zone? We should ask the Ninth War Zone about Qin Tianbao's current specific location, and then we can sweep him if it's convenient for us."
Kong Ling said angrily: "Okay! Listen to our man."
Yu Xiaowan sent a telegram and soon received a reply from the Ninth War Zone: "The exact location of Qin Tianbao and his bandits is unknown, but they are trying to integrate and win over the various gangs in Xiangxi and plan to surrender to the devils."
Kong Ling said angrily, "Are you asking us to look all over Xiangxi? That's ridiculous."
“The scariest thing is not being able to find it!”
Xiang Chu said helplessly, and ordered, "Xiao Wan! Call back and tell them we will do our best."
Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "Yes! I hope Qin Tianbao can run into our gun."
In the northeast, there is a remote small county called Jiangzhi County.
On a dark autumn night three months ago, Qin Tianbao led two thousand bandits to occupy this place.
They killed all the officials in the county and took control of the entire county, allowing people in the city to enter but not leave.
He also reported the situation to his superiors on time, so that no one knew what was happening in Jiangzhi County.
Qin Tianbao appointed himself the county magistrate, and the military advisor served as the chief secretary, in charge of the secretariat.
The second in command was the head of the civil affairs section, the third in command was the head of the finance and grain section, the fourth in command was the head of the construction and education section, and the fifth in command was the head of the military section. Qin Tianbao's wife, Yang Pozi, was the director of the accounting office, Qin Tianbao's eldest son, Qin Dabao, was the director of the police station, and his youngest son, Qin Xiaobao, was the director of the tax collection department. Relatives all held different positions.
In order to cover up the truth, Qin Tianbao also implemented a series of people-friendly policies such as opening warehouses to provide relief grain, tax exemption, distributing land and shops, repairing roads and bridges, etc., which won the respect and praise of the people of Jiangzhi.
Up to now, the people of Jiangzhi still think that the people coming are the great Red Army, and they call County Magistrate Qin the "honest Lord" every day. If they could have a little more freedom, they would build a shrine for him.
At this time, in the meeting room of Jiangzhi County.
Qin Tianbao, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, sat upright in the first seat, scolding the bandits who were not dressed properly: "Can't you change your bad habits of being bandits? Now we are all county officials, we must pay attention to our own image."
The fifth leader cried and said, "Brother! I have nightmares every day. I dream that the government army will come and kill us all. We should hurry back to our mountains. It's so comfortable to drink wine, eat meat and run around."
Qin Tianbao shouted, "What are you afraid of? The imperial army will be here soon. We will go to Xiangdu. I will be promoted from county magistrate to provincial governor. You will also rise with the tide. Why don't you enjoy the good life in Xiangdu?"
"it is good!"
The bandits cheered in unison.
Mother Yang couldn't help but say, "Boss! I heard that Qin Dibao was wiped out by the 34th Army. It won't work if the Imperial Army arrives too late. You should ask Doihara's subordinate 'Little Black Dog' to ask the Imperial Army for some good guns and cannons. We can defend Jiangzhi City by ourselves."
Qin Tianbao waved his hand and said, "Okay! Xiaobao! Send a telegram to 'Little Black Dog' in my name right now."
"Get it!"
Qin Xiaobao hurriedly left the meeting room and ran to send a telegram.
Not long after, Xiang Chu received a telegram from Qin Xiaobao: "Little Black Dog! When will the imperial army arrive in Jiangzhi? If they can't come in a short time, can you airlift some good guns and artillery? We can defend Jiangzhi City ourselves? Qin Tianbao!"
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and replied, "Qin Tianbao! The Dongxiang team will arrive in Jiangzhi City the day after tomorrow evening and deliver a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Little Black Dog."
Qin Xiaobao replied: "Great! Thank you."
Xiang Chu handed the telegram to Kong Ling and said with a smile, "Fifty thousand! Look, it was easy to get."
Kong Ling took the telegram and read it, then nodded and said, "Hmm! I never thought that Qin Tian's treasure was hidden in Jiang Zhi City."
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Let's go over and surround him so that he can't escape."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "No! Then send Gan Rong to lead the Nan Ya Squadron to the city gate and arrest the bandits first."
At this time, the 34th Army's call sign radio sounded.
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly copied and translated the message: "Miss Kong! We have arrested the suspected 'big thief' Zhang Zuoming. Because there is no contact, he refuses to confess. Where did you get the information? Farmer!"
Kong Ling was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she shouted, "What's wrong with this Dai Nong? Isn't he very powerful?"
