Chapter 1136 We Have Food
There are cold stars in the sky and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground.
Tens of thousands of people were on the road, and the torches looked like a long fire dragon.
Xu Lai said worriedly: "Brother Chu! We have more than 10,000 people now, and we need to consume a lot of food every day. If we run out of food, we will disperse."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Indeed! The food we brought from Dongfeng Coal Mine is only enough for three days. Where can we get so much food?"
Xu Lai suggested: "Why not take down the nearby enemy strongholds and seize the surrounding counties."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "We can't fight a tough battle with the weapons and ammunition we have now. If we use them all up, we won't be able to defend Tufei Tunbao."
Xu Lai said thoughtfully: "If you can't support him, you can give him to your master."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "How can I give it to him? My glorious image will be ruined."
Xu Lai said angrily: "You are just trying to save face, but you are going to suffer in the end. Let's see how you can solve the problem of weapons, equipment and food for tens of thousands of troops."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will always find a way to deal with your man."
Xu Lai said angrily: "Just brag."
"Report——!"
Ma Fugui ran over and reported loudly:
"Captain! Ai Hai reports that the gunfire in Wolong Village has stopped. The two Japanese troops suffered thousands of casualties each, and it was discovered that it was a misunderstanding."
Xiang Chu ordered: "Let Ai Hai move the monitoring location south. If the Japanese soldiers attack Tufei Tunbao from the south, delay them appropriately to buy time for the main force to arrive at Tufei Tunbao."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu took out the map, turned on the flashlight and looked at it, muttering to himself:
"We are not far from Tufei Tunbao. We can get there before dawn."
At this time, Shao Qing ran to his side and whispered:
"Captain! Many people are discussing quietly. They are worried that there will be too many people and that there will be problems with food and weapons. Some want to join the National Army or other Eighth Route Army troops to fight the Japanese. Some even want to go home and farm."
Xiang Chu said unhappily: "Following me, food and weapons are not a problem, but those who are not determined can leave if they want to, and we won't force them."
Shao Qing smiled bitterly and said, "It's the only way."
Wolong Village, the residence of Kenji Doihara.
Kan'ei Doihara and Takeo Okazaki were arguing and blaming each other.
Doihara Kenji asked loudly: "Okazaki Takeo! Why did you take the lead in attacking my troops? Why did you kill thousands of my troops?"
Okazaki Takeo said angrily: "Captain Doihara! I have sent you telegrams many times to ask for the specific location, but you didn't say it was in Wolong Village. Moreover, why did your troops wear the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army?"
Doihara Xian'er angrily scolded: "This general is using deception in war, otherwise how can we reach this Wolong Village safely?"
Okazaki Takeo said bitterly: "It's okay to lose hundreds of people, but you must hand over the murderer who killed my nephew Xiaozhi, otherwise I will report to the headquarters immediately and send you to the military court."
Doihara Xian'er rolled his eyes and whispered, "Okazaki-kun! You and I have lost many soldiers and generals. It would be useless to report it. We might as well say it was caused by the encounter with the Eighth Route Army.
Besides, we can make a small deal."
Okazaki Takeo thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense. He said in a gentle tone, "Okay! Go ahead."
Doihara Ken'er smiled mysteriously and said, "I will hand over the captain of the pig Nota who killed your nephew to you for disposal, and you give me 20 kilograms of food."
Okazaki Takeo said angrily: "All my food and ammunition were blown up by your people. Where can I find them?"
Doihara Xian'er said with a smile: "The one who blew up your food and ammunition was also Xiaozhu Yetai. He acted on his own and deserves death. It doesn't matter if you don't have food here. When you return to Jincheng, you can send someone to deliver it to Doi Tunbao."
Okazaki Takeo thought about it and nodded, "Okay! I'll leave after daybreak and bring it back to you."
Doihara Kan'er knew that he was trying to cheat, so he said with a smile, "I have sent someone to collect your nephew's body. I will return the body as soon as your food arrives."
"you--!"
Okazaki Takeo was so angry that he pointed at him and was speechless.
Doihara Ken'er said sternly, "Okazaki-kun! If you don't send the food, won't this general be deceived?"
Okazaki Takeo said bitterly: "Okay! Call Kozuya over here, I want to shoot him in front of you."
Doihara Kan'er didn't care about his subordinates' lives and said happily: "Yoshi! Deal!"
He opened the door and ordered, "Xiaozheng! Call Captain Koinata over. Also, take good care of Okazaki Kozhi's body and belongings."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Komasa hurriedly accepted the order.
Not long after, the little pig suddenly ran into the room excitedly.
"Bang! Bang!" twice.
Takeo Okazaki shot him in the forehead and heart, ending his life, and ran out of the room.
Doihara Kenji and Takahashi Kozen looked at each other.
Doihara Ken'er shook his head and said, "This guy is too cruel."
Takahashi Komasa sneered: "His nephew is even more cruel."
Doihara Xian'er asked in confusion: "Xiaozheng! Why do you think so?"
Takahashi Xiaozheng took out a white flute and handed it to him, saying with a smile:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! This is Okazaki Kozhi's relic. His men said it was the leg bone of a Chinese girl he raped."
"what?!"
Doihara Ken'er exclaimed, took the bone flute and started playing with it, praising it.
"Wow! What a wonderful work of art! Why didn't I think of it before? One day I can make a flute out of the fat girl's leg bones and accompany me wherever I go."
"Report——!"
A Japanese soldier rushed into the room and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, the division commander! There seemed to be a burst of gunfire from the direction of Toi Tunbao just now."
Doihara Ken'er listened carefully and shook his head, "No way! It was Okazaki Takeo who shot and killed Kozue Nota just now."
Takahashi Komasa suggested: "Your Excellency, Division Commander! For safety reasons, it is better to send a telegram to inquire about the remaining team."
Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and ask! It's dawn, and I need to get some sleep to replenish my brain."
"Hello!"
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng bowed and accepted the order, cursing inwardly:
"Fill your pig brain."
Tufei Tunbao, radio room.
The radio operator shadow spy received the inquiry message and rushed into the command post to report to Lan Cheng.
Lan Cheng smiled and said, "Reply to them that a small group of Chinese guerrillas just passed by and have been dispersed."
"Yes!"
The radio operator shadow spy hurriedly received the order.
Not long after, he received a call back:
"The Jincheng Garrison will send 20 kilograms of food. If you receive it, please report it in time."
The radio operator was overjoyed and replied hurriedly: "I will report it in time!"
The radio operator rushed out of the radio room with the message and shouted happily:
"Captain Lan! We have food."
Lan Cheng rushed out of the command post, took the telegram and read it, then laughed and said, "Great! Besides weapons and ammunition, what we lack most is food. Tell the boss quickly."
At this time, there was a noise coming from the foot of the mountain.
The radio operator smiled and said, "Battalion Commander! The detachment commander and his men are coming."
Indeed, under the morning light, an endless team rushed westward towards Tufei Tunbao.
Lan Cheng ran down the stairs, ran to the gate, and shouted:
"Quick! Open the door and welcome the captain and his men in."
The gate opened, Lan Cheng ran to Xiang Chu's horse and said happily:
"Captain! We have food."
