Ma Xiaoguang took the telegraph newspaper and quickly browsed it.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Shopkeeper Luo asked worriedly.
"As expected, the old Japanese from Shibahara used a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and Lishe Airport was raided..."
"Ah! What should we do?"
"But fortunately, Fatty's telegram was quite timely, and Wu Chengzhang and his gang at Ningbo Station were able to deal with it well. They only injured a few guards and had no other losses."
Ma Xiaoguang replied with a smile. While answering, he lit a match and burned the telegraph newspaper.
"Sir, it is true that he has a clever plan and is planning a strategy..."
Shopkeeper Luo's expression softened, and he quickly lost no opportunity to flatter him.
"It's not as impressive as your brother said. I did realize it after fighting with those idiots, so I arranged for Fatty to go to Xiangshan County..."
Ma Xiaoguang threw away the flaming telegraph newspaper and explained to Shopkeeper Luo with a smile.
"No wonder the chief told the fat man to let him shake people! This is also because he has predicted the enemy first. It is indeed the style of Zhuge in ancient times."
Shopkeeper Luo still persisted in patting the horse.
"That's why the chief asked you to tell Zongfang Guiwu later in the village that we still have one person..."
"This is to buy us time, otherwise we won't be able to deal with more than a hundred Japs in one village! This is called planning..."
Brother Guishou didn't let shopkeeper Luo know how to be beautiful at the side, so he quickly followed up and took a photo.
"Ahem...this seems to be a bit much!"
Even though Chief Ma was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he couldn't stand the two martial arts masters bragging to death like this. At that moment, the old man's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while. The fat man had already finished his errands and came over with Battalion Commander Qian.
"Brother Ma, you are so prosperous this time!"
Battalion Commander Qian walked in front and said to Ma Xiaoguang with a red face.
Ma Xiaoguang also took a step forward and said to Battalion Commander Qian: "Haha, Brother Qian has done a great job in wiping out the 'Xuanyang Society' this time. Arrangements have been made in advance, but this is only the first battle. The rat pulls the shovel - the big head is probably still behind!"
"Brother Ma, if you have any plans, just arrange them. When you came here, Mr. Chen had specially warned me to cooperate fully."
Battalion Commander Qian didn't go through the bureaucracy like other officers of the national army and got to the point directly.
Of course, before coming to Ningbo, Ma Xiaoguang passed Director Dai to greet Chen Defang, the commander of the 194th Division stationed here, and asked for full cooperation.
This battalion commander Qian is a capable person and has a good eye, so he seems to be able to deal with things well.
"You're welcome, Commander Qian. There are three things that need to be done right now. First, we need to send some engineering brothers to the mountain to check what's weird about the position of the 'eye of formation'. The specific location has been marked on this map."
"The second is to send more brothers to build defenses near the beach below the 'eye of formation' on Banbian Mountain. I guess the Japanese are afraid of taking action..."
"Three, just leave some people in this village, enough to keep an eye on these devils, but you don't need too many."
Ma Xiaoguang said to Battalion Commander Qian while taking out a calibrated map from his bag.
"I'll deploy immediately."
Battalion Commander Qian nodded, took the map, turned around and left quickly.
"Sir, we're almost done here. When will we return to Ningbo?"
The fat man asked Ma Xiaoguang with some confusion.
In fact, this is also a question that two martial arts masters want to ask.
"I won't go back for the time being. Things are over here... There is Ningbo Station in Ningbo, and even if the devils are stationed in Ningbo and destroy it for a short period of time, it won't have much effect."
"And you think that 'Xuanyang Society' went to great lengths to occupy a village, it must not only be to cultivate some latent agents, but also probably there is a conspiracy."
"Also, that 'formation eye' looks strange, so we need to investigate further."
"Finally, I estimate that the old Japs from Shibahara might have tried to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so they should attack from the east to the west. Their real target is still here at Half Mountain."
"So, we still have to stay."
Ma Xiaoguang lit up a Hard Gate by himself and said thoughtfully to his three companions.
"Then what should we do next?"
Shopkeeper Luo quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Let the brothers of the 194th Division interrogate these Japs first. First, we must find out their identities and determine whether they are Japs."
"After confirming their identities, the four of us separately verified that these 100 or so people, both male and female, will have to appear in court again."
"In addition, Brother Guishou and Shopkeeper Luo have to work hard. In addition to interrogating, they also need to search the village to see if there are any hidden places, especially the bones of more than a hundred villagers..."
Ma Xiaoguang gave instructions to the two martial arts masters in a deep voice.
The two of them didn't say much after hearing this. They just nodded solemnly and left with solemn expressions.
After explaining their respective tasks, Ma Xiaoguang was not idle. He took the fat man and hurried to the barn where the neon agents were detained, and began to ask those who were captured to come over one by one to be interrogated again.
The interrogation lasted from noon until late at night.
At the village chief's home.
"According to Munakata Guigo's instructions and our investigation, the bodies of the villagers have been found."
Shopkeeper Luo's men reported the most important thing.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang quickly asked: "Is there anything missing?"
"Sir, don't worry, it's absolutely not the case. I found the genealogy from the ancestral hall in the village, and the number of people is basically correct. It's just that there are so many people together, they are all mixed up, and I can't tell who is who..."
Shopkeeper Luo replied in a low voice.
Ma Xiaoguang said in a deep voice: "That's good. Since they have been buried, let's not disturb the ancestors. Let's erect a monument for the villagers and engrave everyone's name according to the genealogy..."
"By the way, senior brother also discovered a cellar, and found a lot of treasures in it, as well as a lot of gold bars and antiques. Senior brother is still counting in the cellar."
"What's more important is that I found this..."
Shopkeeper Luo continued to report, handing over a roster as he spoke.
"Hey! Brother Guishou did a great job!"
The fat man stood aside, glanced at the roster and couldn't help but praise.
This is exactly the list of agents of "Xuanyang Society" lurking in Chaijia Village!
"Hmm! This is good. Based on this and comparing the confessions of these people, we can clearly identify all these more than a hundred people without making any mistakes."
"Although there is no list of agents trained by Hiraoka Eikichi to lurk in other places, it is enough for now."
Ma Xiaoguang slowly said to the two of them, with a hint of ferocity in his expression.
"Sir, this is preparation..."
Shopkeeper Luo asked timidly.
"Let's not rest tonight. Let's check the list again for all the hundreds of living Japanese!"
Ma Xiaoguang suddenly stood up and said to Fatty and Shopkeeper Luo.
Looking at Ma Xiaoguang's expression, the fat man had already understood. He lowered his face and turned his hands into palms to make a beheading gesture.
"Are you going to kill all these more than a hundred Japs?"
The fat man gritted his teeth and asked Ma Xiaoguang with a grin.
"Yes, chop them all down, leaving no one alive! Avenge the folks who died in vain twenty years ago!"
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and replied through gritted teeth.
