Outside Lai'an County, two war horses walked slowly.
One of them is young, about 20 years old, of medium build, wearing a Japanese Army Major uniform. There is another person who is over forty years old, slightly hunched, but physically strong. He is also wearing a Japanese military uniform, but he is only a lieutenant.
The Japanese guarding the city gate saw that both of them were officers, so they quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, please show me your ID."
When Duanwu took out his ID, the Japanese guarding the city took one look at him and immediately ordered him to be let go. Because the ID shows that Duan Wu is the staff officer of the 26th Brigade.
So Duanwu and Ma Ping'an rode their war horses and wandered around the streets of Lai'an County in a swaggering manner.
Ma Pingan said in Japanese: "It seems that our entry into the city went smoothly. It depends on whether those little devils can believe you."
Duanwu also said in Japanese: "If the devil doesn't believe it, I will slap him with a big mouth. The little devils believe in this very much. After a big mouth, they will only say "Hi!"
Ma Pingan smiled and said: "I hope so, otherwise I will have to go inside with you today, brother. Haha, why are you so brave? To lie to the people of the Thirteenth Division in front of the Thirteenth Division? I'm afraid Only you can think of it."
Duanwu said: "This is the power of trust. I believe in the intelligence capabilities of your underground party, and I also believe in the seriousness of your underground party members towards their work."
Ma Pingan said: "Thank you, thank you Brother Duanwu for trusting us underground party members."
"Two sirs, this is the Lai'an County headquarters of His Excellency Tian Tianfu. What can I do for you?"
Duanwu chatted with Ma Pingan, but unknowingly walked to the headquarters of Tian Tianfu's 116th Regiment.
At this time, a Japanese sergeant at the door came forward and asked the two of them if they had anything to do, and asked them to show their IDs.
Danwu dismounted, handed the ID to the other party, and said: "I am Jiro Komura, the staff officer of the staff department. This time I have brought you the secret order of the division commander."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please come inside."
The Japanese officer returned the Dragon Boat Festival certificates and personally led the two people into the headquarters of the old Japanese Tian Tianfu.
Tian Tianfu had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth. He hadn't even eaten yet.
At this moment, one of his guards came to report: "Sir, someone is here from the headquarters. A commander named Jiro Komura wants to see you!"
"Nani? So early?"
Tian Tianfu was surprised, but since he was coming from the headquarters, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered people to invite Duanwu and Ma Ping'an in.
Tian Tianfu didn't recognize him when he saw the Dragon Boat Festival, because as the captain of the 26th Brigade, how could he not recognize someone from the brigade headquarters?
He asked in surprise: "Is Mr. Xiaocun very cool?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "I have just come to the 26th Brigade for training. To be honest with you, I have a little relationship with Prince Beibai."
Tim Tianfu suddenly realized: "Youhe! That's it. Mr. Xiaomura, please sit down quickly."
Danwu's words dispelled Soda Fuku's doubts, because first of all, Prince Kitashirakawarai is indeed in China, and news has come that one of Prince Kitashirakawa's junior students, Taro Aso, has been promoted to colonel.
Moreover, Taro Aso is also a commoner. If he can be promoted to Colonel so quickly and at such a young age, is there any need to think about it? It must be related to the recommendation of Prince Beibai.
So Soeda Fuku felt that the same was true for Komura Jiro in front of him. My surname is not noble, but I am squeezed into the staff at such a young age. Is this normal?
But it would make sense if a prince recommended it.
However, at this time, Danwu did not sit down. Instead, he took out a document from his briefcase and read: "Numatakaku orders (Numata Tokushige, commander of the 26th Brigade): Order your troops to immediately assemble a brigade of troops. With the entire artillery brigade, together with a section of the 58th Regiment, we quickly arrived at Fenghuang Mountain, a hundred kilometers southeast of Mingguang, and completely annihilated the Hutoushan section of the Eighth Route Army without any mistakes."
"Hi!"
Tian Tianfu stood at attention and bowed, then took the secret order in Duanwu's hand and looked at it. There is nothing wrong with the letter paper and the seal on it.
However, Tim Tianfu said a little strangely: "Xiao Cunjun, why does the brigade headquarters not use telegrams, but asks you to deliver the letters in person!"
Duanwu had already expected this, and said with an apologetic smile: "Have you forgotten that the empire suffered losses one after another due to the leakage of secret codes? So this time, the brigade commander, your Excellency, specially explained that this time, we will operate in secret, All the radio stations of the attacking troops were silent. Even if there was a call between Lai'an County and the brigade headquarters, they could not mention this matter. We had to pull out this nail by surprise.
You must know that Tubaludi are very cunning. They are different from the regular army of the Nationalist Government. They never fought with us head-on. Instead, they harassed our rear and stole our supplies while we were fighting the Republic of China government's troops.
But this time, they secretly embedded themselves in the Phoenix Mountain area for exactly this purpose.
Once we engage the enemy's 51st Army, they will definitely raid our supply lines. Therefore, we must eliminate this group of Tubal before attacking.
Your Excellency, you should know what the Brigade Commander means. What he wants is total annihilation, and he must not let a single person escape. "
Tian Tianfu nodded frequently and said: "Omura-kun is right. I will order the mobilization of troops right now. Please wait a moment."
Duanwu said: "Your Excellency, please hurry up, because the people from the 58th Wing are already waiting outside the city."
Tian Tianfu chuckled and said: "Kurabayashi-kun (co-captain of the 58th Regiment) has a short temper, and his subordinates also have a short temper. Okay, I will order people to assemble quickly. Within half an hour, Within, we can definitely set off.”
Duanwu bowed and said: "Thank you for your understanding. I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything. I just brought you a small gift. It's not respectful."
Having said this, Duanwu reached out to Ma Pingan, and Ma Pingan quickly handed the chamber pot in his hand to Duanwu's hand.
Duanwu handed the chamber pot to Tian Tianfu respectfully. Tian Tianfu said with an exaggerated expression: "Is this a Chinese antique?"
Duanwu said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you have really good eyesight. This is said to be something from the Ming Dynasty in China, but I'm not very sure. I just heard a little bit about it from Your Excellency, the Prince of Beibai. So it's just a small thing, but please accept it."
Tim Tianfu was very happy: "Omura-kun is such a good person. I also like these antique cultures in China very much, but I don't have access to them. Although I robbed a lot, they were all worthless. And since this was seen by Prince Beibai, Then there will definitely be no lies.”
Duanwu smiled apologetically: "That's what you said." He also signaled Tian Tianfu to continue admiring.
However, why did the Dragon Boat Festival give the devil Tian Tianfu a chamber pot? The reason is simple. To distract him, it will take half an hour for the Japs to gather their troops. And if two people sit around doing nothing during this half hour, the possibility of being exposed in the Dragon Boat Festival will be greatly increased, and it is entirely possible for Tian Tianfu to use this time to send people to Chuzhou to ask questions. After all, Chuzhou and Lai'an County are not very far apart. .
Therefore, this chamber pot is very effective, firmly attracting the attention of old devil Tian Tianfu to the chamber pot! .
