Chapter 1130 What a Poor Countryside
On Lingchuan Highway, Xiang Chu led his troops westward.
There were so many people and horses that it seemed as if there was no end in sight.
Ma Fugui reported: "Captain! Lan Cheng reported that there is a Japanese checkpoint at the entrance of Wuli Tushan Pass ahead. Please ask whether to destroy the Japanese checkpoint."
Xiang Chu checked the map and said anxiously, "We can't move the checkpoint. There are still a large number of Japanese troops stationed nearby. Let them avoid the checkpoint and go west through the mountains and forests."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
Gan Rong said worriedly: "Captain! I didn't expect to encounter the Japanese checkpoint so soon. If we pass by, will we be exposed?"
Xiang Chu took out two bags and handed them to him, saying with a smile: "Now we are in a dilemma, we can only move forward. You lead the vanguard cavalry unit and play the role of Doihara Ken'er's men. Under the pretext of being hungry and stealing food, use the Enchantment Handkerchief to control the sentries, and then make them take the Enchantment Pill."
Gan Rong took the two bags and said with a smile, "Everyone is familiar with the route. Wait for my good news. Let's go!"
After saying this, he rode his horse forward with a small group of fake Japanese soldiers.
Xu Lai sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Brother Chu! Taoist Gan is almost catching up with Lao Liu's humor."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! But his humor is rational, while Lao Liu's is natural."
Xu Lai said angrily, "Is there so much to be said for humor?"
At this time, Ma Fugui received a telegram and reported loudly:
"Captain! The spy hiding near the Dongfeng Coal Mine reported that a squadron of Japanese soldiers left the Dongfeng Coal Mine and headed towards Jincheng."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "God helps me! Now there is only one Japanese squadron guarding the Dongfeng Coal Mine."
Xu Lai asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Why did this Japanese squadron go to Jincheng?"
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "I think there will be a major military operation. Could it be that my master has launched an operation?"
Xu Lai suggested: "How about I send a telegram to ask your master? It's better to cooperate in this battle."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Don't send it for now. Put the two radios at the Jincheng Garrison Army and Doihara Division respectively. I will listen to their movements."
Xu Lai nodded and said, "Okay! I'll listen."
At the mouth of Tushan Pass, Gan Rong had led a cavalry squad to the checkpoint.
There was a squad of Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint, building fortifications.
The leader of the Japanese squad saw Gan Rong and others coming and shouted loudly:
"Stop moving forward! Dismount and check."
Gan Rong jumped off his horse, took out a cigarette and threw it to the Japanese squad leader, saying with a smile:
"Sergeant! We are the Doihara Division, heading to Guanjiazhai to conduct a cleanup operation."
The Japanese squad leader took the cigarette, took out a light and in the time it took Gan Rong and a group of shadow spies in Japanese military uniforms to enter the inspection post.
Moreover, two people were fighting against one person, asking the devils for food.
Gan Rong extended his hand to the Japanese squad leader and said anxiously:
"I'm starving! Give me some food."
The Japanese squad leader took a long puff of his cigarette and shook his head:
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel! I have no food."
Gan Rong said angrily: "How is that possible? I'll look for it!"
He quickly took out a handkerchief, covered the Japanese squad leader's mouth and nose with it, causing him to faint, and then immediately stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Shadow Spy takes action, completing the same moves as him.
The checkpoint was controlled by Gan Rong and others, and Xiang Chu led the large force through quickly.
After Gan Rong and other large forces had passed, he ordered the shadow spy to use cold water to wake up the Japanese at the checkpoint.
The Japanese squad leader asked in confusion: "Lieutenant Colonel! What just happened?"
Gan Rong put a newly lit cigarette into his mouth and scolded:
"What else could happen? There's not even any food, and you're wasting my cigarettes. Let's go!"
After saying this, he jumped on his horse and led the shadow spy to deliberately gallop northward.
The Japanese squad leader walked into the sentry box and reported to his superiors what had just happened.
East of Jincheng, Wulipu.
Takeo Okazaki led two Japanese battalions and a squadron here.
Tanaka Tani Rong rushed forward to report: "Your Excellency the Regiment Commander! The Tushankou checkpoint reported that a squad from the Doihara Kanji Division just went north to grab food."
Okazaki Takeo said unhappily, "What's there to report about such a small matter?"
Tanaka Tani Rong suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander! If it is the Eighth Route Army playing the role, it will be troublesome. We should call Doihara Kenji and ask him the truth."
Okazaki Takeo said impatiently: "Okay! Ask his troops why they went north to grab food."
"Hello!"
Tanaka Tani Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
He ordered the radio operator to send a telegram to the Doihara Division.
Not long after, I received a call back from the Doihara Division:
"Someone in our division is starving to death. Is it possible for us not to steal food?"
Tanakatani Rong hurriedly handed the telegram to Okazaki Takeo and said with a wry smile:
"Your Excellency, the Regiment Commander! The Doihara Division is a disgrace to the Imperial soldiers. They can even let people starve to death in China."
Okazaki Takeo tore up the telegram and shook his head, saying, "No! Doihara Ken'er has always been cunning. He is probably leading his troops north to attack the weak Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment. Order all troops to advance quickly and try to reach the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment's lair before dawn tomorrow."
"Hello!"
Tanaka Tani Rong bowed and accepted the order.
Okazaki Takeo muttered to himself: "Doihara, you bastard! Don't think that you are a fake general, the head of the intelligence agency, or the head of the teacher group. This colonel's dream is to surpass you and make you kneel down and lick my ass."
North of Wuxing Mountain, Lijiazhai.
When Doihara Kan'er arrived here and saw a large bamboo forest, he said happily:
"Yoshi! Quick! Dig some bamboo shoots to eat."
Takahashi Komasa smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! Bamboo shoots are only available in spring. It's winter now, how can there be bamboo shoots?"
Doihara Xian'er scolded: "Baka! In addition to spring bamboo shoots, there are also winter bamboo shoots. Hurry up and take people to dig them. This general is too greasy to eat so much fish."
Takahashi Xiaozheng responded indifferently: "Okay!"
Doihara Ken'er slammed his whip on his head and yelled, "Come on!"
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa obeyed the order loudly and led the Japanese soldiers into the bamboo forest.
Doihara Xianer pulled out his machete, pointed at Lijiazhai and yelled:
"Peach, give it to me! Five Lights is doing the job. Kill!"
"kill!"
The Japanese soldiers rushed into Lijiazhai howling.
"Boom!" Several loud noises.
The minefield at the entrance of the village was detonated, and countless Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
"Protect this general!"
The fearful Doihara Ken'er shouted loudly, jumped off his horse and prostrated himself on the ground.
The Japanese soldiers surrounded him and fired fiercely in all directions.
Takahashi Komasa stepped forward, helped Doihara Kan'er up, and suggested:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Why not send a troop wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army to explore the way ahead? This way, our army will be safer."
Doihara Xianer nodded and said, "Yoshi! You lead a squadron to play the role of the Eighth Route Army."
Takahashi Xiaozheng didn't expect that whoever proposed it would execute it. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit. He said helplessly:
"Ha! Xiaozheng will definitely play the role of the Chinese Eighth Route Army well."
Doihara Kenji asked, "Where are the bamboo shoots I asked you to dig?"
Takahashi Xiaozheng didn't even have time to dig, he spread his hands and shook his head:
"There is nothing in the bamboo forest except bamboo roots."
Doihara Xian'er said bitterly: "This is such a poor and remote place, there's not even any bamboo shoots."
Gao Qiaoxiaozheng suggested: "Your Excellency, the division commander! It's getting dark now, why don't we sneak into Wolong Village at night and destroy the Chinese Eighth Route Army Special Operations Detachment?"
Doihara Xianer nodded and said, "Yoshi! You lead the fake Eighth Route Army to explore the way ahead."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa bowed and accepted the order.
