And it was on the top of the mountain that neither the 251st group nor the little devils paid attention to.
Chen Quan, Sun Desheng, Chen Dalian, and Ye Min had already arrived and were secretly following the 251st group.
The two sides kept a distance, and Shen Quan and his party moved forward in secret.
It turned out that just twenty minutes ago, Shen Quan and his party finally arrived and caught up with the 251st group.
It's just that the scene where Liu Cai led the team to leave was missed by Shen Quan and the others.
The cavalry was very fast, and it only took two or three hours to get from the temporary headquarters to Taiyuan City.
After approaching Taiyuan City, if you continue riding, your goal will be too big.
In order to avoid being exposed, Shen Quan ordered the war horses to be temporarily tied up in the mountain stream.
All the soldiers dismounted and walked towards Taiyuan City.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Lu Daxian, who deliberately delayed his pace along the way in order to wait for Liu Cai and his party.
Shen Quan and others rushed over in time and did not miss the handover ceremony for Lu Duoxian's 251st Regiment to surrender to the Japanese army.
"Second Battalion Commander, what should we do now?"
On the top of the mountain, Sun Desheng rubbed his hands and asked.
Chen Quan's eyes were still looking through the telescope, focusing on the Japanese troops and the 251st Regiment in the distance.
Seeing the scene of the little devil and the soldiers of the 251st Regiment living in harmony, Shen Quan was so angry that he cursed:
"These stubborn soldiers are usually very active in targeting our Eighth Route Army troops. It turns out that they have long been hooked up with the little devils in private."
Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team, said: "Second Battalion Commander, that's not all. According to the information from the enemy's Ministry of Industry, this stubborn army is the 251st Regiment of the National Army. This 251st Regiment can be regarded as having some ability to resist the Japanese behind enemy lines." The Republic of China Daily has published stories about their 251st Regiment's multiple counter-mopping victories.
Chiang Kai-shek issued commendation orders.
The national army often uses this incident as an example, saying that there are not a few national army troops who stay behind enemy lines and persist in fighting against the Japs.
It is not just our Eighth Route Army that can survive in the difficult anti-war environment behind enemy lines.
In the areas occupied by their national army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, various reports have intensified publicity on this, for fear that the common people will not know. "
"What's going on in front of you?" Sun Desheng asked.
Instructor Chen Dalian said disdainfully: "Old Sun, don't you understand this? This is called doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. On the surface, it is a model regiment for resisting the Japanese behind enemy lines, but secretly it is colluding with the Japs!"
"What if this chairman is interesting? He is just a layman commanding an expert. He has an incredible eye for seeing people." Shen Quan laughed and observed with the binoculars for a while.
Chen Dalian said: "Second Battalion Commander, there are not many Japs in front of us. There is only one small team, but if we add the 251st Regiment, their strength far exceeds ours.
If we want to defeat the 251 group and the little Japs, I'm afraid it won't be easy. "
"What should we do?" Sun Desheng scratched his head, a little worried: "Our cavalry company finally encountered a mission. If we don't handle it well, I won't be able to communicate with the regiment commander when I get back."
Chen Quan smiled and said: "Company Commander Sun, don't worry. There are few people in front of us. I'm afraid we have to use some brains on how to fight next."
"When we came here, the regiment commander repeatedly told us that a military attack was only a last resort. Don't forget that the mission the regiment commander gave us was to disrupt the 251st Regiment's surrender to the Japanese army."
"If we find a chance, it would definitely be the best if we can catch this little devil and the 251st Group."
Having said this, Shen Quan thought for a moment and said:
"We can't take the initiative. It's best to find a way to provoke a conflict between the Japs and the 251st Regiment. Otherwise, if we take the initiative to show up and start a battle, the Japs and the 251st Regiment over there will definitely have to stand on the same side. Go to camp.
Not only will we face two enemies at once, it will promote the integration of the Japanese and the 251st Regiment.
This is a losing business, and we can't do it. "
"We have to find a way to create friction between the 251st group and the little devils. It's best to make them both suspicious."
"After all, this little devil has a lot of eyes, and he won't trust the 251 group easily."
"It would be interesting if we could fan the flames from the side and let the 251st group and the little devils fight for blood!"
As he spoke, Shen Quan's eyes fell on Ye Min beside him.
Ye Min was stunned: "?"
Shen Quan said: "I thought about it and wanted to create a conflict between the 251st Regiment and the Japs, or even cause a fire conflict between them.
The best way is to take advantage of the handover ceremony between them and take the opportunity to hit him with a black gun and make the situation chaotic.
Ye Min, don’t the snipers of your commando team have sniper rifles? Hit far, hit accurately, and it comes in handy right now. "
Ye Min suddenly understood, nodded and said: "I think it will work. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the handover between them and shoot the officer sent by the Japanese to death."
Chen Quan nodded, shook his head, and pondered: "It is indeed an idea to shoot black guns in secret, but how can we make the little devil believe that it is the 251st group who fired the black guns? This is a headache."
After thinking about it for a while, he still had no clue. Shen Quan said helplessly:
"Forget it, forget about this for now, follow up, and we'll talk about it when we get to Taiyuan City."
As he was talking, some gunshots were heard from a distance.
The gunfire came from a direction far away from Taiyuan City.
There were still little Japs in the 251st Regiment at the foot of the mountain, and they obviously heard gunshots.
Lu Daoxian's expression changed, and he wondered in his heart, could it be Lao Liu and the others?
Seeing Lu Daoxian stop, the Japanese team leader turned to look in the direction of the gunfire, and said in fairly fluent Chinese: "Captain Lu, don't worry, he should be here to cause trouble in the county, he belongs to the bandits. Or some from the Chinese army, ours will ensure the safety of Commander Lu."
Lu Duoxian nodded and tried to ask: "Xiaomu Jun, these bandits or some Eighth Route Army troops are here to cause trouble, are you not worried about anything happening?"
"Captain Lu means that bandits and Eighth Route Army soldiers come to the county to rob supplies and cash?"
"Exactly."
"Captain Lu is indeed loyal to the Empire of Japan and always considers the empire. But Commander Lu, please don't worry. This kind of thing will never happen again."
"What does Mr. Xiao Lin mean by this?" Lu Daoxian was a little confused.
The Japanese team leader smiled and said: "It seems that Commander Lu has not yet learned the news. The imperial command has issued an order for a full-scale counterattack in the morning.
Next, the teams that came to rob the county, whether they were bandits, the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, or the Shanxi-Sui Army, including the Chinese armed forces stationed around the county, would all be wiped out under the counterattack of the Japanese Empire. "
"There are Imperial Japanese troops secretly ambushing us in the county towns. If there are those who don't care about life and death again come to rob us, we will be dead."
Lu Daxian: “………………”
The old boy was completely stunned.
It means that the little devil is preparing to launch a counterattack.
Fortunately for him, he arrived at Taiyuan City before he could see it. On the way, he thought of doing something, pretending to be a bandit, and sneaked into the town. Wouldn't this mean that he had hit the enemy's gun?
Thinking of this, Lu Daoxian was a little worried. Listening to the gunshots just now, Lao Liu and the others must have been entangled by the Japanese, right?
What if Lao Liu and the others were caught, their identities exposed, and they were betrayed?
Find a way to fool him, or tell the truth to the little devil?
This Japs wants to recruit the 251st Regiment, so he won't find trouble just because of this little thing, right?
But what if that old devil Takeda doubts his sincerity in surrendering?
I originally thought I could continue bargaining, but now things got messed up.
The more Lu Daxian thought about it, the more anxious he became. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he couldn't help but stretch out his sleeves to wipe it.
"Captain Lu, what can I do for you?"
The Japs squad leader saw Lu Daoxian's expression change and asked.
"It's okay, it's just hot!" Lu Daxian swallowed and wiped away the cold sweat.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the Japanese team leader couldn't help but shiver, thinking in his mind about the heat Lu Duoxian said and the beads of sweat on his forehead.
I thought to myself, this fat man's fat really has a very good warming effect.
the other side.
The reconnaissance soldiers Chen Dalian sent out to cover the surrounding area returned and reported:
"Report to the second battalion commander that we found a group of bandits fleeing in the direction we came from."
"bandit?"
"Yes, it seems that this group of bandits went into the ghost town to rob, but they were counterattacked by the Japanese and puppet troops and escaped all the way."
Sun Desheng couldn't help but cursed, "What are these bandits doing here to join in the fun at this time?"
Chen Quan was moved in his heart and said with a smile: "The more noisy the better, maybe our chance will come. In this way, Captain Sun, you continue to lead the team through the mountainous area and follow the 251st Regiment and the Japanese army. I will bring some Comrade, go and see what’s going on behind the scenes.”
"yes!"
When Shen Quan led the team to set off.
But said the other side.
From the direction where the gunshots came from, Liu Cai, deputy commander of the 251st Regiment, was leading a team disguised as bandits, as well as Liu Baisheng and a group of bandits, and they were fleeing towards Taiyuan City.
While running, Liu Cai cursed: "Liu Baisheng, you bastard, I think you are impatient, and you deliberately tricked me, right?
What is going on in front of you? Didn’t you say that the devil can rob the county town if he wants? Why are there so many Japanese and puppet troops secretly ambushing them?
Damn it, not to mention that we didn’t get any benefits from this trip, I also lost most of my brothers.
I really want to shoot you. "
"Sir, I don't know what's going on with this situation. When we were robbing things a few days ago, the Japanese and puppet troops didn't take so many precautions, and we could successfully grab supplies every time."
"As you can see, the situation was so sudden that I lost more than a dozen brothers here!"
Liu Baisheng was also in a panic now. He had no idea what was going on, so he quickly explained.
Of course Liu Cai believed that Liu Baisheng would not risk his brother's life to harm his group.
So, it is somewhat intriguing why there are a large number of Japanese and puppet troops ambushing in the county in front of us.
"Fuck it, run away for your life first, I will come back to you to settle the score."
Liu Cai cursed that his team had lost a lot of people this time when they entered the county.
When he entered the town, there were a total of two hundred soldiers, but now there were only seventy or eighty people around him.
Liu Baisheng was on the verge of tears now. He just wanted to escape from the Japs' pursuit as soon as possible and leave the unlucky guys like the 251st Regiment.
Finally escaping from the town, there is a mountainous area to the left and the road leading to Taiyuan City to the right.
Liu Baisheng said hurriedly: "Sir, let's run to the mountainous area. As long as we enter the mountain, we will definitely be able to get rid of the little devil!"
"Damn it, you want to harm me?" Liu Cai cursed.
Liu Baisheng was dumbfounded, "Sir, I was trying to escape for our lives. Why did I harm you?"
Liu Caidao: "Our regiment leader immediately handed over to the Japanese. You want me to go into the mountains with you and be a bandit with you for the rest of your life?"
While cursing, Liu Cai suddenly saw a steep downhill slope not far away. His eyes lit up and he had an idea. He said, "In this way, I will give you a way to survive. After we all escape to the bottom of the downhill slope, You immediately lead your team and run from the left towards the mountains."
Obviously, Liu Cai wanted to use bandits like Liu Baisheng to lure the little devils away.
Of course Liu Baisheng knew Liu Cai's intentions, but now he just wanted to escape from this hellish place and nodded in agreement without saying a word.
In this way, the team quickly rushed to the bottom of the steep slope and temporarily avoided the sight of the Japanese and puppet troops pursuing behind them.
Liu Baisheng quickly led his remaining 20 or so men and fled from the left towards the mountainous area.
"Sir, are we just going to let these bandits go?"
A platoon leader from the 251st Regiment asked.
Liu Cai sneered: "I just hope they can lure the Japanese and puppet troops away.
In addition, if we take this group of bandits to Taiyuan City, it will not be good if the bandits are not serious and reveal that we broke into the town to rob supplies. "
"Sir Yingming, what should we do now?"
Liu Caidao: "While the escaping bandits attracted the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, we seize the time and continue to flee towards the city of Taiyuan. After getting rid of the Japanese, we found a place to peel off the bandit's skin and put the military uniforms on our backs in advance." Change it back, and then rush to the direction of Taiyuan City. As long as Tuan Zuo and the others make peace, we will be safe."
"With the ability of the team members, we will definitely be able to find an excuse to let us return to the team when the time comes."
"yes!"
I have to say that Liu Cai's little calculation was pretty good.
Liu Baisheng and his party suddenly fled to the mountainous area, which indeed attracted some of the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.
On Liu Cai's side, he led his team and quickly continued to flee in the direction of Taiyuan City.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the rear saw that the bandits were running too fast, so they could only gradually stop.
The Japanese team leader said: "Part of the bandits have entered the mountain, so there is no need to chase them. The other part seems to be heading towards Taiyuan City. Return to the town immediately and pass the news to Taiyuan City, so that they can intercept the gang on the way." bandit."
…
When Shen Quan arrived with his people, he happened to see Liu Cai and a group of guys dressed as bandits fleeing to a small mountainous area and seemed to be changing clothes.
Some of the bandits have changed into national army uniforms.
Shen Quan, who was lurking in the dark with his soldiers, couldn't help but be happy when he took a look at the battle, "Interesting, they don't look like bandits! They are obviously soldiers of the national army, but they have to dress up as bandits and go to rob the town. These idiots Yes, what are you planning?"
Shen Quan, who was thinking secretly, always felt that what was happening in front of him was a little unusual.
I was thinking in my mind that after arresting this group of national soldiers, I would ask about the situation.
He immediately ordered:
"The team is divided into two teams, go around from the left and right, try not to open fire for a while, and capture this group of national soldiers."
"I want to see what's going on?"
"yes."
