Taking advantage of the strong wind, Tiedan quickly closed the cabinet door, and the inside of the counter instantly fell into darkness.
The Japanese soldiers standing guard outside the door hurriedly came in and closed the door. No one noticed that the counter door that had just been opened had been closed. Even if someone noticed, they would only think that it was caused by the north wind.
Tiedan stood at the counter and observed for a while. Seeing that the Japanese in the headquarters were not suspicious, he quietly knelt down and pointed at Tang Haoer, and the two quietly changed positions.
In the headquarters, Yamada Jiro frowned slightly and looked at Nobumura Sasaki and said: "Your Majesty, Colonel, there is a Gao Family Waizi in Heyan Village, more than 20 miles away from Dagu Town. The rich man of Gao Family Waizi is called Gao Kuirong. This man has both sides. He The eldest son is the battalion commander of the Jinsui Army, and the second son is the translator of Colonel Zuochuan of Sanin. I heard that he also has a nephew who is the company commander of the Eighth Route Army. If we ask him, we may be able to know which battalion he was in last night. The army attacked us."
Nobumura Sasaki raised his eyebrows slightly: "My own heirs serve the three forces respectively. This Gao Kuirong is a bit interesting. Yamada-kun, it seems that all the people in Dagu Town have escaped. There is no point in us staying here. I will go and discuss this. Gao Kuirong, Yamada-kun, you lead the Ono Squadron and the Armored Squadron to burn all this place to me, and then you go directly back to Zhangzhuang."
"Burn it all?" Yamada Jiro was stunned for a moment and said, "We can still get a lot of food from Dagu Town every year. If this place is burned all, the Chinese here will have to move to other places. We in Zhangzhuang There will be problems with food supplies.”
Nobumura Sasaki looked at Yamada Jiro and asked expressionlessly: "Are you questioning my decision?"
Yamada Jiro hurriedly stood at attention and lowered his head: "I don't dare."
Nobumura Sasaki patted Yamada Jiro on the shoulder and said patiently: "Why did the Chinese here run away? It's because they know what kind of troops attacked us, so they are all collaborators. Fortunately, they ran away, otherwise I would Will bloodbath this place and wipe it off the map."
That is to say, Nobumura Sasaki and Yamada Jiro are not familiar with each other, and they are not in the same army. Otherwise, Nobumura Sasaki would have slapped him in the face, and how would he explain to Yamada Jiro.
Yamada Jiro's expression changed, he hurriedly stood at attention, bowed his head and responded loudly: "Hey, Colonel, you are wise, my subordinates understand."
Nobumura Sasaki smiled slightly and walked towards the door.
When Tang Haoer saw Nobumura Sasaki glance at the counter, he panicked and hurriedly squatted down, but accidentally touched the bottom of the counter, making a slight collision sound.
Nobumura Sasaki frowned slightly and turned around and walked towards the counter. As he walked, he took out a gun from his waist and fired several shots at the counter, making several transparent holes in the counter.
Two guards ran over quickly. One of the guards kicked the counter door and smashed it. He turned around and made an evasive action. The other guard cooperated with the tacit understanding and held up the 38 cover and fired a shot at the inside of the counter. .
As a result, the open counter was empty, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Nobumura Sasaki came over to check it out and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe it's a mouse."
Nobumura Sasaki led the guards towards the door, and Tang Haoer in the tunnel turned pale with fright.
Fortunately, Tiedan reacted quickly enough. When he saw Tang Haoer squatting down in a panic, he hurriedly got up and restored the counter floor and added a safety cover, but he didn't have time to cover the tunnel opening below.
If the Japanese were to lift this heavy counter, they would definitely find the tunnel below.
Even if Tang Haoer and Tiedan could evacuate in time, the tunnel would have been exposed.
Then what will happen next will probably be another story. Nobumura Sasaki may not have the leisure to visit Gao Kuirong in Gaojiaweizi.
Hearing that the Japanese had gone away, Tiedan carefully closed the tunnel entrance.
At this time, Xie Tian hurried over with a gun, and was relieved to see that Tang Haoer and Tiedan were safe and sound.
The three of them returned to the headquarters. Xie Tian looked at Tang Haoer, who was still frightened. He first took off the Browning that she was holding tightly in her hand, and then asked: "There was a shooting outside just now. What happened?"
Tang Haoer looked at Xie Tian with a guilty conscience and said, "I accidentally touched the floor and alerted the Japanese. Fortunately, Tiedan reacted quickly enough to hide it from them, otherwise our tunnel would have been discovered by them."
Xie Tian smiled and hugged Tang Hao'er regardless of the presence of others: "As long as everything is fine, I'm not afraid if the tunnel is discovered by them. Discovering the tunnel is just the beginning of their nightmare."
Thinking of business, Tang Haoer hurriedly pushed Xie Tian away and said, "The Japs are going to burn down Dagu Town, and the Japs Colonel is going to visit Gao Kuirong in Gaojiaweizi. This man is ruthless, and I'm afraid he won't have any good intentions."
Xie Tian pulled Tang Haoer with a solemn expression and said, "Tell me what they said from beginning to end. Don't miss a word, and don't add your own understanding."
Tang Haoer said "Oh" and started to talk about what she heard from beginning to end. If the matter was not serious and it was not a joke, she would have to repeat the above words in Japanese according to Xie Tian's instructions, and then see if Xie Tian would change. A big donkey face.
How can you translate a foreign language without adding your own understanding? Um?
After listening to Tang Haoer's story, Xie Tian and others' expressions changed.
The Japanese colonel who came here was indeed ruthless, and he actually wanted to bloodbath Dagu Town.
Fortunately, Xie Tian forcefully escorted the monks into the tunnel, otherwise they might have been poisoned.
"Captain, they want to burn down Dagu Town, what should we do? If not, let's fight." Wu Wenhua looked at Xie Tian and said eagerly.
Tang Haoer took Xie Tian's arm and said, "That commander is going to the Gao Family Waizi. You have to find a way to save Meijuan and the others."
Xie Tian snorted and looked at Li Changshun and said: "Go and arrange for Ge Dazhuang to leave the cemetery and rush to the Gao family enclosure before the Japs. Notify them that the Japs are coming to them soon. Just say it was me who said it and let Gao Kuirong take him with him." I came to Dagu Town to avoid the Japanese."
Li Changshun complied and turned around and left. It would be twenty miles up the river, and only Ge Dazhuang could reach there in one breath.
Xie Tian looked at Wu Wenhua and ordered: "Keep an eye on the Japs' movements and report to me at any time. Tell the soldiers not to shoot, but to hide first. Even if the Japs burn the house, ignore them and let them burn. Let the soldiers appease the people. If the house is gone, we can build it again, but if our lives are gone, we are gone.”
Wu Wenhua was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded: "Yes, let them burn it."
Wu Wenhua turned around and left quickly. Xie Tian limped back to the corner of the Dagu Town tunnel where the sand table was arranged. He stretched out his hand to hold down the sand table. Only then did he realize that he was still holding Tang Hao'er's gun in his hand. He turned off the safety and handed the gun upside down. Tang Haoer said: "I won't allow you to shoot unless it is absolutely necessary. This is an order."
Tang Haoer pouted and put away the gun, looked at Xie Tian sideways and asked, "Do you really want the Japanese to burn down Dagu Town?"
Xie Tian hummed and lowered his head to check the sand table.
Now he doesn't know the name of Nobumura Sasaki, so that doesn't matter, as long as he knows that he has the final say.
This Japanese commander wanted to go to Gaojiaweizi, and he was taking two squadrons of Japanese with him. He knew that Gao Kuirong would have a difficult time going through this without asking.
Xie Tian was not that concerned about Gao Kuirong's life and death. Compared with the more than a thousand people in Dagu Town, Gao Kuirong was as light as a feather.
If it weren't for Gao Meijuan's sake, he probably wouldn't have arranged for Ge Dazhuang to make this trip.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. The gathering of three to four thousand Japanese soldiers really gave him a headache. But now, with this God-given opportunity, the Japanese soldiers actually took the initiative to divide their troops, and they sent most of them to Gaojiaweizi.
There is only one Japanese squadron and one temporary armored squadron left in Dagu Town. Their number will not exceed 500, which is about the same strength as the Second Battalion.
The current situation is that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. This is Xie Tian's biggest advantage. The Japanese on the ground have no idea that there is such an army hidden under their feet, staring at them eagerly.
By launching an attack with equal forces and a superior situation, Xie Tian was confident of winning this battle.
But it also depends on how to fight.
The messages from the observation post were passed to Xie Tian one after another. The small flag on the sand table in front of Xie Tian changed its position with each message.
To others it is a war.
For Xie Tian, this is a war game.
He is the one with the war chess in his hand.
"Report, a Japanese armored infantry vehicle and two infantry squadrons left Dagu Town and headed south."
"Um"
"Report, Ge Dazhuang has left the tunnel from the cemetery to Gaojiaweizi."
"Um"
"Report, the Japanese set fire to Xiangmanlou."
"Um"
"Report, all the Japs have dispersed. They set fires everywhere. Many houses in the town were set on fire."
…
Thanks to God's preparation before the battle, there was no chaos at all.
But other people in the command center were already in chaos.
According to the news transmitted from various observation posts, Dagu Town overhead is now a sea of fire, and the little devils are reveling in this sea of fire.
A blazing fire is the easiest way to ignite the hidden animal nature in human hearts. When faced with a blazing fire, especially one lit by oneself, many people will get short-term sensory stimulation and enter a state of madness.
The entire Dagu Town was on fire. Now on the ground, in addition to the crackling sounds of burning fires, there were the screams of arsonists.
The ordinary people of Dagu Town in the tunnel lowered their heads, and even more people shed tears.
Home is gone...
but……
They are still alive! ! !
Xie Tian raised his wrist and kept staring at the watch until the hands jumped to the time he wanted. Then he stood up with a sigh and said to the anxious Wu Wenhua: "I'll go to the stage. You can sit here and wait." As soon as the cannon fires, you give me the fucking order to launch a full-scale attack and wipe out all these Japanese beasts above me."
Wu Wenhua said hurriedly: "Captain, you'd better direct here, I'll go to the big stage."
Xie Tian stared at his eyes and asked, "Can you drive a tank?"
Wu Wenhua was speechless for a moment, but looked at Xie Tian in disbelief.
I can't drive a tank, can you?
