While the Japanese Major was performing his grief and indignation, Lieutenant Okawa Tokichi, who was hiding in the mountains, gathered another team of his men, more than a hundred people, all dressed as ordinary Chinese people, equipped with both long and short guns, and three machine guns.
There is only one missing team of Japanese soldiers, who are marching on the mountain road. They have the strongest firepower: light machine guns, long and short guns.
It was getting late, and the team stopped at the roadside. The Japanese began to replenish food and conduct routine inspections of equipment. Okawa Tokichi checked the map carefully and found that they had crossed to the north of the Eighth Route Replenishment Group.
He once again used the radio to contact the Japanese regiment headquarters that entered the mountain, and circled around the mountain.
It has been confirmed that a division has entered the mountain from the west. The Japanese troops reinforcing Meixian County have taken the lead in entering the mountain, followed closely by a brigade from Meixian County.
The goal of this plan is to raid the division headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, to teach these shameless Eighth Route Army a lesson, and to avenge the missing Yamato elite of a small team. After this time, the Eighth Route Army will be removed from the map. Completely erase it!
The position on the map is on the way from the supplementary regiment to the division headquarters.
Okawa Momochi had already thoroughly explored the terrain. According to the previous plan, he arrived at the outskirts of the Eighth Route Division headquarters a few days ago. He spent a whole day in covert observation and did not dare to go deep. The troops were too small and he saw a lot of Eighth Route incoming troops. The small team that went in and out without daring to take action and disappeared was probably already in pieces.
There were too many people in the advancing team in the mountains, and the target was too obvious. In order not to affect the other advancing team's attack on the Eighth Route Headquarters, before the Japanese brigade came up, they had no choice but to leave two leading Japanese soldiers behind. Most of them retreated southward into the mountains, but they just happened to Encountering the replenishment regiment returning to the base, Okawa Tokichi was unwilling to fight head-on with the Eighth Route Army for fear of exposing his target. After retreating overnight, he walked two miles west and then turned east on a small road. He did not leave the mountain at all and headed east. After walking for two days and making a big circle, we finally reached the north of the supplementary group. We made a miserable circle in the mountains.
After working hard for so long and running through so many wrongful paths, this time, the division headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was unable to escape!
With a gloomy face and a sinister smile, he wandered around in the mountains. With the map drawn by Chiba Ogami, who was the first to enter the mountains, he had already understood the situation in the mountains thoroughly in the past month. Another advance team from the north, His friend, Masuko Shigeo, led the same squadron from Liao County to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
The glorious battle is just around the corner, and it will take at most two days.
The radio said that the main vanguard force has arrived at Xiaowangzhuang. Even if the large force marches a little slower, after tonight, the vanguard force can advance to the three-way intersection before dawn. However, there is an Eighth Route Army blocking in front of the vanguard force and marching all night. You can reach the three-way intersection in the middle of the night. If you get there earlier, you can just block the back road of the eight-way gang!
The key now is that the troops entering the mountains from the east have been delayed. The order has been issued, requiring them to march with all their strength. The information coming from the radio is that they are blocked by eight sporadic routes and will only reach the designated position after two days.
No one would have thought that the Japanese advance team would be inserted right between the Ninth Company and the supplementary regiment, which was equivalent to them all on their way to the division headquarters. The Ninth Company was right in front of the Japanese advance team.
There is a herringbone distribution of troops. Hu Yi is followed by the troops of a division. On the road to the left of the herringbone, the frontmost team on the left of the herringbone is the Ninth Company, followed by the advance team emerging from the mountains. Behind the advance team is The supplementary regiment and the independent regiment were followed by two large groups of Japanese troops from Meixian.
"Report, there are scattered people from the Eighth Route Army on the mountain road ahead, walking south."
"Attention everyone, proceed normally, let them pass, and don't cause trouble!" Okawa Tokichi said with a gloomy face, there are still many benefits to pretending to be the Eighth Route Army.
Two female soldiers, carrying rifles on their backs, headed south quickly along the mountain road. They found a team appearing in the valley to the south, which aroused their vigilance.
Don't underestimate Okawa Mokichi's advance team. They all speak Chinese and have sneaked into "enemy lines" many times. This guy is still so courageous. He likes to deal with the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army only looks at the costumes and has no passwords. I don't know. Distinguish friend from foe.
He can just find an excuse to get through, so this guy likes not to take the ordinary path, and likes the sense of accomplishment of bravely breaking into the enemy's hole. It was through this that he successfully found the Eighth Route Army Division Headquarters. If he hadn't cooperated with the large troops to advance Shan, prepare to take down the Eighth Route Headquarters, otherwise we would have taken down the division headquarters in the south.
The two female soldiers watched the team warily on the road and stood on the side of the road. There were more than a hundred people coming from the other side. The female soldier who did not know how to count thought that they were almost the same as the people from the Ninth Company. The exact difference was not clear, but it was own people.
Little did he know that the strange team on the opposite side was a Japanese soldier disguised as a Japanese soldier, and that the female soldiers had also followed the Ninth Company to become immoral and courageous. Although there were many people on the other side, they were not afraid.
Although there are not many people coming out of this wine station, they are all willing to commit suicide!
Beside the road, a female soldier widened her innocent eyes: "Tell me, which unit do you belong to?"
Okawa Tokichi looked at the two dark female soldiers in front of him and grinned: "We are from the 8th Brigade and are on a mission. Which part are you from? How come we haven't seen each other before?"
The two female soldiers were dumbfounded: Eighth Brigade? Never heard of it. They know about the Independent Regiment, they know about Qingshan Village, they know about the Japs in Meixian County, and they know about Li Youde in Luoye Village. They just learned yesterday that there is a supplementary regiment in the north. As soon as they entered the mountain, their eyes were blackened. As for these eight Travel, only the devil knows.
A bold female soldier blinked: "Eighth Brigade? Never heard of it, we are the civilian... Ninth Company, the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment... We also have missions, hey, then you go, be careful, be careful, listen. They said the Japanese had an advance team entering the mountain, a platoon!"
The number of people in the team here is obviously more than one platoon, so it is definitely not an advancing team.
Okawa Tokichi saw that several Japanese soldiers had surrounded the two female soldiers, and made a gesture, and the Japanese soldiers immediately retreated.
"Well, we are also looking for Japanese soldiers to advance into the team. Hey, what mission do you have?"
"Our mission? That's confidential, how can I tell you!" the little female rear soldier said warily.
"So you don't know, what mission can you two have?" Okawa Tokichi smiled jokingly.
"Huh, I won't tell you anyway. The company commander said before that we have to go back and report that we found the Japanese advance team on their way out of the mountain in the west." The little female soldier said proudly.
Okawa Tokichi originally wanted to capture these two female soldiers, but when he heard this, he was stunned. He made a circle and arrived at the east side. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army had made a mistake in judgment. It was just right. It was better to let them report the news.
"Those behind, get out of the way quickly and make way for the comrades of the Independent Regiment." Okawa Tokichi gave the order to the side.
In a uniform movement, the Japanese made way for the south.
The female soldier said happily: "Thank you!" Then he hesitated: "There are many of you, how about you leave first?"
Okawa Tokichi turned around and gave the Japs behind him a stern look, warning them not to be exposed. Then he turned around and smiled: "It doesn't matter. If you want to convey the order, you should leave first!"
