Chapter 773 His memory is fragmented

Gan Rong led hundreds of elite troops to the island and quickly took control of Langtang Island.

The bandits had been entrenched on the island for several years, and the island had accumulated a considerable amount of supplies.

Gan Rong happily reported: "Chief! There are mountains of weapons, ammunition, and food supplies on this island, as well as a large amount of money and fishing boats. It is enough for us to form a team."

Xiang Chu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Great! We should really thank these bandits. They didn't know that we didn't even have rifles. We won with just some artillery, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns."

Gan Rong said hurriedly: "There are more than 100 new Type 10 rifles in the bandit arsenal, and probably more than rifle bullets."

Xiang Chu felt relieved and ordered, "Hurry up and distribute the rifles! Make sure everyone has one."

"Yes!"

Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.

Yu Xiaowan pointed at Langtang Island and said, "Brother Chu! The houses on the island are all ready-made. Should we all move to the island to live?"

Xiang Chu thought about it, nodded and said, "Let's move! We've made such a big noise this time, those puppet troops colluding with the bandits, as well as Okamura Wugang and Isogai Renfu's gang, will all come over to cause trouble."

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "It's safer to stay on the island. We'll recruit more soldiers and then march west to join the Eighth Route Army."

Xiang Chu teased, "You keep mentioning the Eighth Route Army!"

Yu Xiaowan pointed down and said, "Hurry up and order everyone to go to the island. The tide is about to submerge the long levee."

Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "Why rush? Just gather all the fishing boats together and build a floating bridge."

After saying this, he immediately gave the order to build a pontoon bridge and temporarily live on the island.

The bandits on Langtang Island fled around Langya Terrace like frightened birds.

Not all of them were vicious criminals; most of them came from nearby villages.

Moreover, many people became bandits because they were captured or threatened by people like Gao Xiaolong.

The bandit leader was killed, the bandit lair was occupied, and they had to go home.

It was truly shocking that the bandits who had been causing trouble for several years were wiped out in less than a day.

In Wangjia Village, Chief Wang greeted the bandits who had fled back from the village and asked knowingly:

"You guys are fine, why are you all back?"

The leader was called Brother Wang Si, and he said angrily:

"Didn't you hear the gunfire from Langya Terrace today? You're asking even though you already know the answer!"

Chief Wang nodded and said, "Of course I heard it. Who beat you?"

Fourth Brother Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know! But their weapons are too advanced. And their shooting skills are too accurate. Gao Xiaolong was shot in the forehead."

Chief Wang said mysteriously: "These people came to our village to buy food. I think they might be the Eighth Route Army."

"Eighth Route?"

Brother Wang Si and other bandits cried out in surprise.

Fourth Brother Wang said hurriedly, "No! I'm going to tell my cousin who is the battalion commander of the Imperial Army in Jiao County to send troops to destroy them immediately."

But Wang Baozhang said again: "No! They speak Fuso language very well, maybe they are a Fuso army."

Brother Wang Si said angrily, "Chief Bao! Can you be more precise when you speak? Are they the Eighth Route Army or the Imperial Army?"

Wang Baozhang did not want another strong army to appear near Wangjia Village, so he said, "Why would the Imperial Army come to our remote place? They must be the Eighth Route Army!"

Brother Wang said bitterly: "Even if they are not the Eighth Route Army, I, Brother Wang, will avenge Boss Gao. Brothers! Follow me to Jiao County to join my cousin's team, and then come back to destroy those guys on Langya Terrace and avenge our dead brothers."

"Okay! Let's go."

Many bandits immediately expressed their willingness to follow.

Many bandits were also taken home by their families on the spot.

Chief Wang Bao said worriedly, "Fourth brother! Can your cousin's troops defeat those people on the mountain?"

Fourth Brother Wang said disapprovingly: "Of course! My cousin has the support of the Imperial Army behind him."

Wang Baozhang begged, "Fourth brother! Please don't say that I said that the group of people on Langya Terrace were the Eighth Route Army."

"Isn't that what you said? Let's go!"

Fourth Brother Wang sneered, waved his hand, and led the like-minded bandits in the village away.

Wang Baochang sighed and said, "Why do I talk so much? Alas!"

Lianyungang, at the foot of Huaguo Mountain.

Renfu Isotani led a group of Japanese soldiers here.

A Japanese scout ran down the mountain and reported loudly:

"Your Excellency, the Division Commander! There is no Yingzhu Agency Chief and his subordinates on Huaguo Mountain."

Isogai Renfu shouted angrily: "Baka! Why didn't Fujiwara no Daisuke come over?"

The Japanese captain, Ogawa Haneyu, was his nephew. He said with a smile:

"Uncle! Why not ask Okamura Wugang? It is said that he just gave Chief Yingzhu a large amount of weapons and equipment."

Renfu Isogai nodded and said, "Yoshi! Radio operator! Immediately ask Captain Okamura if he has any information on the whereabouts of Chief Yingzhu."

"Hello!"

The Japanese radio operator hurriedly took the order and sent the message.

Not long after, a reply message was received: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Chief Yingzhu and Doihara Xian'er and others went to Sunset Village on the border between Jiangsu and Shandong, where they pretended to be Eighth Route Army soldiers."

Isogai Renfu sneered, "Yoshi! They are such a good impersonator. The commander of our division will go and wipe out these fake Eighth Route Army soldiers right now, and even ask for credit from the higher-ups. Haha!"

Xiaochuan Yuliu said with concern: "Uncle! You don't have to do it yourself. Yuliu is willing to lead our troops to destroy those fake Eighth Route Army soldiers of Yingzhu Agency."

Isogai Renfu thought about it, shook his head and said, "No! You don't have to go either. Let Okamura Wugang send troops to destroy them. Who asked him to provide weapons to Chief Yingzhu?"

At this time, the Japanese radio operator reported loudly:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Fuso Dalian Shipping Company called and said that the 'Akatsuki Maru' that was transporting weapons and ammunition for our army has disappeared."

Isotani Renfu flew into a rage and roared, "Baka! How could such a large cargo ship be missing?"

Xiaochuan Yuliu rolled his eyes and instinctively slandered: "Uncle! The freighter that transported weapons and ammunition for our army was most likely sunk by Chief Yingzhu."

Isogai Renfu slapped the back of his head and suddenly realized, "Right! After leaving Changchun, Chief Yingzhu took the train to Dalian. Who else could it be but him?"

Ogawa Haneyu suggested, "Uncle! To be on the safe side, why not send Okamura's detachment to eliminate Chief Yingzhu? Even if the higher-ups investigate, it will have nothing to do with you."

Isogai Renfu nodded and said, "Yoshi! Radio operator, call Okamura Wugang and ask him to lead his regiment to Sunset Village and kill the Yingzhu head of the agency who really surrendered to the Eighth Route Army."

"Hello!"

The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.

Langtang Island, Xiang Chu's residence.

Zhang Linmao brought the dazed Lu Xiong here.

Yu Xiaowan hurried forward to check Lu Xiong's illness.

Lu Xiong's wife Shima looked at Lu Xiong anxiously.

Zhang Linmao handed the unique spirit-enchanting wine to Xiang Chu and said bitterly, "Chief! This wine was brought back by a guy named Hoshino Taro from the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect of the Japanese. He asked us to bring it back especially for you."

Xiang Chu took the bottle, opened it and smelled it, then nodded and said, "This wine is indeed extraordinary. I have to study it carefully before I can prepare an antidote to save Lu Xiong."

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiong heard it and said with a smile:

"Captain! I'm not sick."

Xiang Chu didn't expect that he still remembered the Military Intelligence Department, and asked with a smile:

"Lao Lu! Who is your wife?"

Lu Xiong shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

When Shima heard this, she burst into tears.

Zhang Linmao asked anxiously: "Who am I?"

Lu Xiong said without hesitation: "Zhang Linmao!"

Yu Xiaowan hurriedly asked, "What about me?"

Lu Xiong shook his head and said, "I don't know him!"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't ask! His memory is fragmented, and he only remembers the initial events of the Military Intelligence Department. At that time, he had no national hatred or family grudges in his heart, so he was relatively comfortable."
