Chapter 1132: A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain
Sha Baoer gave the order, and nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers gathered under the guillotine.
The Japanese captain Matsushita walked up to the guillotine with a samurai sword in hand and a ferocious face.
He wiped his beloved samurai sword with a cloth and stared at Shao Qing.
At this time, Shao Qing had been stripped of his shirt and tied to the pillar of the guillotine.
Sha Baoer specially drew a circle on his heart with coal.
One hundred miners who were to be shot were tied around the guillotine.
Tens of thousands of miners, handcuffed and shackled, were gathered together and forced to watch.
After being tortured by the Japanese in the coal mine for so long, everyone was almost numb.
The Japanese killed people on such a large scale today, which aroused their bloodiness.
"Don't kill people randomly!"
There were miners shouting in the crowd.
The Japanese captain Matsushita pointed in the direction of the sound and roared:
"Baga! Who shouted? Stand up."
"Destroy Japanese imperialism!"
Some captured Eighth Route Army soldiers raised their arms and shouted.
This aroused the blood of all the miners, and they all raised their arms and shouted:
"Destroy Japanese imperialism!"
The Japanese soldiers were so angry that they raised their guns at the miners. The Japanese machine gunners lay down around the guillotine, turned on the safety of their machine guns, and were ready to start the massacre at any time.
Captain Matsushita raised his command knife and was about to announce the massacre order.
At this time, the earth shook and the sound of horse hooves came from far away.
The Japanese radio operator ran up to him and handed him the message:
"Sir, the squadron leader! Captain Doihara Akihi of the Doihara Division is leading his troops here."
Indeed, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a cavalry unit carrying the Japanese flag was galloping towards here.
Captain Matsushita put down his samurai sword, took the message, and sneered, "What a shame! He can't even find food to eat, so he went to Dongfeng Coal Mine to find food. Tell him! We have no food here."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order and rushed down from the guillotine to send the telegram.
Not far away, Xiang Chu led the cavalry company and Lan Cheng's troops and rushed towards the Dongfeng Coal Mine.
Lan Cheng said happily: "Boss! Fortunately, we arrived in time and can fight alongside you."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! I didn't expect the Dongfeng Coal Mine to have such complete fortifications. It is surrounded by high walls with electric fences. I came here with only a hundred cavalrymen, but the force is obviously not enough."
Lan Cheng smiled and said, "Fortunately we brought the Japanese military uniforms, otherwise the Japanese would have attacked long ago."
Ma Fugui was carrying a radio on his back. He heard a message coming from the radio and said anxiously:
"Your Excellency, Commander! Should I dismount and receive the message?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! It must be a message from the Japanese squadron at the Dongfeng Coal Mine, refusing us from entering the coal mine."
"Hello!"
Ma Fugui bowed and accepted the order.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Lan Cheng! The cavalry must approach quickly, and send infantry squads to control the surroundings of the coal mine to prevent other Japanese troops from approaching."
"Hello!"
Lan Cheng hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu asked the accompanying shadow spies to sing Fusang's "Spring in the North" and rushed towards the gate of Dongfeng Coal Mine.
The song "Spring in the North" greatly relieved the tension and antipathy of the Japanese soldiers in Matsushita's squadron.
The Japanese soldiers present were moved by homesickness and sang along unconsciously.
Sha Baoer said with a smile: "Squadron Leader! That troop sang so authentically."
The Japanese squadron leader Matsushita said angrily: "Can't the imperial soldiers sing folk songs well?"
The Japanese radio operator ran up to the stage carrying the radio on his back and shook his head:
"Squadron Leader! They didn't call back."
Captain Matsushita took a swig of wine, threw the bottle away, and waved his hand:
"Forget it! They'll be here soon."
Sha Baoer reminded, "Sir, the squadron leader! You have to be on guard against the people of the Doihara Division. How could they be so hungry that they have no food to eat?"
Squadron Leader Matsushita ordered the radio operator: "Ask Squadron Leader Okazaki whether the Doihara Division is really starving and has no food to eat."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly took the order and sent the message.
Not long after, I received a call back:
"Matsushita Squadron! The Doihara Division is indeed starving and bringing shame to the Imperial Army."
Squadron Leader Matsushita laughed and said, "We can't get food in China. We are such a rubbish unit. Haha!"
Sha Baoer reminded: "Sir, the squadron leader! The garbage troops are coming, and some of them are staggering with hunger."
The Koreans were right. Xiang Chu made some of the shadow spies fall off their horses and run behind the Japanese soldiers. Some of them even ran to the sentry posts, sentry boxes, canteens and other places, and quickly took control of the Dongfeng Coal Mine.
The Japanese captain Matsushita was under the influence of alcohol and had no idea what was going on.
He angrily rushed down the guillotine and rushed towards Xiang Chu who was riding a horse, roaring:
"This is a military stronghold. Who asked you to come here?"
Xiang Chu roared: "Baga! You are just a small captain, and you dare to disobey this colonel. Capture you!"
The two shadow spies jumped off their horses, holding the ropes that had been prepared long ago, and tied up the Japanese Matsushita Squadron in a lightning speed.
The other shadow spies rushed to the platform like the wind and took away the Japanese machine gunner's machine gun before he could resist.
Xiang Chu jumped onto the platform, took out a piece of paper, and announced loudly: "According to the order of the headquarters, in order to speed up the development and management of coal resources, the Dongfeng Coal Mine will be taken over by the Doihara Division."
After entering the Dongfeng Coal Mine, he was shocked by the defense facilities inside.
In addition to the obvious bunkers, fortresses, and shooting shelters, there are also bunkers and tunnels in the dark, and even some places have explosives placed in advance.
A forceful attack now will surely result in heavy losses to ourselves and the miners. We must force all the Japanese here to leave Dongfeng Coal Mine and eliminate them outside.
Sha Baoer stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Excellency the Colonel! What about the people in the Matsushita Squadron?"
Xiang Chu glanced at him and said in a pure Tokyo accent: "Captain Okazaki has led the army to leave Jincheng to attack the Eighth Route Army. Jincheng is empty. The Matsushita Squadron returned to Jincheng to defend it overnight."
Needless to say, this was his strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
A Japanese squad leader stepped forward and said unconvincedly: "Colonel! There is no Chinese army attacking Jincheng, so there is no need for us to return to Jincheng to defend it."
Other Japanese officers echoed: "Yes! Why let us leave?"
Xiang Chu pretended to be so angry that he pulled out his pistol, fired several shots into the air, and roared:
"Don't you want to obey the orders of the headquarters? To tell you the truth, the Chinese Eighth Route Army has already rushed to Jincheng, otherwise this colonel would not have rushed over to take over the defense immediately. Get out of here now."
The Japanese officers looked at each other, still not quite believing what he said.
Xiang Chu ordered Lan Cheng: "Lord Nanbu! Give them two million military notes as military pay."
Lan Cheng hesitated and said, "Captain! Will this be a bargain for them?"
Xiang Chu scolded: "We have plenty of military notes. They will need them to enter the city. It's not a loss to exchange them for the lucrative position of guarding the coal mine. Besides, we are almost starving to death now and need to eat immediately."
"Hello!"
Lan Cheng hurriedly followed the order and threw the two suitcases at the feet of the Japanese officers.
The Japanese officer rushed up and opened the suitcase, which was full of brand new military notes.
The Japanese officers smiled happily and said, "Yoshi! This deal is worth it."
"Boom! Boom!"
There were sounds of artillery fire coming from the direction of Jincheng.
Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army began to cooperate in the operation.
