"Besides, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would have known that we led the Eighth Route Army to break through the coal field!"
What Wu Ran said was so confident, "It was obvious that the little devils were careless and fell into an ambush by the Eighth Route Army, which led to the capture of the Yingdongji station and the coal yard!"
"What does this have to do with us?!"
Under the temptation of the bounty, the puppet soldiers happily agreed to Wu Ran's idea, and the group decided to do it this way.
Soon, they returned to the Yingdongji site, and there was still no one in the site.
Because Li Yunlong and others left in a hurry, they mainly took away food, clothing and other items. Near the head of a pile of scrap iron-like light armored trains, the puppet troops also picked up a few 38-guns.
It happened that a few puppet soldiers threw away their guns when they were escaping. Now there was no need to worry about being questioned by the little devils because they were empty-handed.
Not long after Wu Ran and the others came back, they were about to go directly to Jiexiu and pretend to ask for help, but they hadn't gone far yet.
In the distance, another group of Japs came from the direction of Pingyao. This time the Japs were quite large. This was an infantry brigade of Japs!
It was originally supposed to gather additional troops to go south. After receiving the order, Major Inoue led his troops to set off directly without waiting for the train and headed straight to the Yingdongji site along the Tongpu Railway.
The leading troops soon arrived at the Yingdongji site and began searching around vigilantly.
Wu Ran and the others cautiously approached, "Taijun! Don't shoot! We'll do the work for our own people!"
Looking at Wu Ran and the others who were dressed in pseudo-military uniforms, the little devils did not relax their vigilance. They surrounded them ferociously and disarmed Wu Ran and the others!
The puppet soldiers were trembling and crowded into a pile. Wu Ran quickly shouted loudly, "Taijun! I have important information! I know Major Songshan from Pingyao!"
When Major Inoue led the follow-up team into the Yingdong Collection site, Wu Ran was brought to Major Inoue alone by the little devil.
Wu Ran kept nodding and bowing, "Taijun, you are one of your own, you are your own!"
"I am a subordinate of Commander Huang, Commander of the 23rd Regiment of the 5th Mixed Brigade of the Pingyao Imperial Association Army!"
At this time, a translator came to Major Inoue's ear and said a few words.
Major Inoue nodded, confirmed Wu Ran's identity, then gently raised his hand and gave a few instructions.
The translator conveyed Major Inoue's question, "Major Inoue asked you, do you have any important information to report?! Also, what is the specific situation here?! What happened?!"
Wu Ran nodded repeatedly, "I know everything about the situation, I said it, I said it!"
"At first, the train stopped at the station and was attacked by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army!"
Wu Ran told the general story. Of course, he concealed how he and others led the Eighth Route Army to attack the coal field. He only said that they were ordered by the railway search team Taijun to go to investigate Captain Watanabe's situation. , accidentally escaped the Eighth Route Army's ambush and the raid on the Yingdongji site.
"Taijun, this group of Eighth Route Army is not ordinary! They not only have mortars, but also mountain cannons, and even a cannon that is directly mounted on the shoulder. The firepower is so fierce that Taijun's armored train cannot be stopped at all. !”
After hearing the news, Major Inoue became serious and immediately sent someone to check the condition of the light armored train.
Soon, Lieutenant Xiaoguizi, who went to check the situation, returned and reported with a solemn face, "Major, from the marks on the wreckage, it is indeed caused by direct artillery fire, and it used armor-piercing bullets!"
This attracted the attention of Major Inoue. There was such an enemy force equipped with a large amount of artillery fire, and it was a great threat to the Tongpu Railway Transportation Line!
Immediately afterwards, Wu Ran told a piece of news that made Major Inoue pay more attention to it, "By the way, Taijun, this is not the most important thing. After our desperate investigation, we found out that the leader of this team is Li Yunlong." !”
Major Inoue looked at Wu Ran in surprise, "Ano Li Yunlong Desi?!"
The familiar name Li Yunlong is quite famous within their First Army.
The previous investigation by the Special High School only found that he was a regiment commander of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. There was no more specific information, let alone finding his whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, traces of Li Yunlong were found here.
In response to this powerful artillery fire, Major Inoue nodded in agreement, "There are many roads, it is indeed a strong opponent!"
Major Inoue looked Wu Ran up and down again, and then asked the translator to send a message, "You did a good job. Major will report your information. You will be transferred to the main team next! Listen to Major Inoue's dispatch!"
The translator expressed his kindness to Wu Ran, "Brother, congratulations, Major Inoue has taken a liking to you. With Major's recommendation, you guys should stop talking about getting promoted!"
Wu Ran nodded happily and bowed, "Haha, thank you, Taijun, thank you, Taijun!"
Then he thanked the translator and built up friendship, "Brother, please take good care of me in the future!"
When Major Inoue reported the intelligence he had obtained, he immediately made new arrangements. He canceled the order for his team to go south to increase troops, and instead asked him to be stationed directly in Pingyao, specifically responsible for the investigation and suppression of Li Yunlong and his team.
With the recommendation of Major Inoue, Wu Ran was successfully promoted to the third level and became a battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army, specifically responsible for cooperating with all actions of Major Inoue's brigade.
By the time he settled down, Wu Ran had already formed a friendship with the translator and others. Taking the opportunity to return home to visit relatives, Wu Ran took away the hidden radio station at the agreed location.
He immediately sent a message to his contact person and reported his recent situation.
After receiving the reply, Wu Ran hid the radio station well again, set out on his way home with firm eyes, and quietly lurked among the puppet troops, waiting for the next contact.
Soon, Li Yunlong met Wu Ran's contact person alone and looked at the information in his hand.
Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, "Haha, I really saw the right person. This guy got into Pingyao so quickly!"
"After you go back, find an opportunity to send a message to Wu Ran and ask him to hide his identity for the time being. He won't need to send any messages for the time being!"
After the contact person read the information to Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong burned the information directly.
In the next period of time, the focus of his work will be on large-scale construction in Baiwanyu. At most, Zhang Dabiao and the others can be broken into pieces and go to the east to blow up the artillery towers.
Let that Major Inoue search for him all over the mountains and plains!
"Hey, I didn't expect our Lao Li's head to be quite valuable to the little devil!"
Li Yunlong walked out of the camp headquarters shaking his head and called the monk. He was going to talk to the villagers of Baiwanyu and the rescued folks about starting a quilt factory.
By the way, I asked the village chief if there were any mines nearby.
There are so many things to worry about. Li Yunlong has been scratching his head a lot these days about construction. He is a good fighter, but when it comes to life construction, he realizes that leading troops to fight is not the same thing!
"It seems that there is still a lack of someone to take charge of life and construction!" Li Yunlong frowned and realized that he might really need to find a political commissar partner!
