Chapter 439 The Yellow Bird Behind
At the foot of the mountain, Liu Dazhuang felt relieved when he saw Gu Changfeng coming back. He smiled and asked Gu Changfeng, "How is it on the mountain? Have you figured it out?"
Gu Changfeng nodded, then asked the team members to take out paper and pen, and started recording with flashlights...
Two days later, when Xiaowu and his group returned, the news they brought back confirmed Gu Changfeng's guess.
First of all, they are undoubtedly the Japanese. Secondly, the Japanese are slowly recovering their strength and preparing to attack the surrounding forces. This wave of Japanese is just one of them.
Judging from the news from various sources, Gu Changfeng felt that he had to remind the headquarters not to let the Japanese take advantage of them.
Shortly after the telegram was sent, a telegram from headquarters was sent to Gu Changfeng. Looking at the events recorded in his hand, Gu Changfeng's face instantly became gloomy.
"Damn it! These bandits actually attacked our brother troops before us."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenhua asked curiously, "Brother unit, which division of the Eighth Route Army?"
This is easy to guess. The only thing that can make Gu Changfeng angry is the Eighth Route Army. Gu Changfeng doesn't care about other things like the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.
Gu Changfeng said directly: "It's the 129th Division in southeastern Shanxi. This time they came out to transport supplies to the headquarters. There are kilograms of food and several hundred guns."
In fact, only a few people at the headquarters knew that he was coming here, the others were Commander Yang and the commanders of the various regiments of the independent brigade.
It was just a coincidence that the boss had just seen the report in the morning, and not long after that, Gu Changfeng's telegram arrived. He just remembered that Gu Changfeng was leading the team over, so he asked Gu Changfeng to clean up the matter. They were too lazy to make any more trouble.
"These bandits even dare to rob the regular army's supplies. I'm afraid they are desperate."
Yang Zhenhua didn't take these bandits seriously at all. He said that if he was not afraid of the Japanese division, why would he be afraid of more than 2,000 bandits in the mountains?
Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "Call Xiaowu over. I'll arrange the combat mission."
In the following time, the two men surrounded Gu Changfeng and listened to his battle arrangements.
The bandits were about to start a fight among themselves, which was obviously a good opportunity for them. They could save some energy and wipe out the Japanese at the same time.
"Xiao Wu, take two teams up from the back mountain tonight and hide. The bandit leader has a secret passage under the main hall in the center of their village."
"I haven't explored where this path leads to before, so you have to be careful and don't let anyone get away."
Xiaowu understood as soon as he heard it, the brigade commander was not going to leave any escape route for the bandits.
"Brigade Commander, based on what you said, I feel the Japanese will take action in the next few days. Since the bandit leader has no intention of surrendering, I feel the Japanese will take action against this group of bandits."
Gu Changfeng nodded and agreed: "You are right, so we should attack both sides at the same time after the Japanese attack, and try not to let go of any Japanese or bandits."
With the Second Regiment and the Special Forces, he would not take the Japanese seriously even if one or two battalions came. Moreover, it was impossible for the Japanese to mobilize a large number of troops to deal with such a small number of bandits.
That night, Xiao Wu and his group sneaked up the mountain and hid. The bandits in the mountain were not very well defended, so it was no problem for them to hide more than 20 people.
Two days passed in a flash, and the soldiers on guard outside finally received news that the Japanese had indeed arrived, and brought more than a thousand of them, led by Yoshiko Nakajima again.
"Captain, the Japanese are really cautious. They've made two preparations. It seems they're planning to take down this gang of bandits in one fell swoop."
Yang Zhenhua was quite excited. He hadn't fought the Japanese for more than half a year, and his hands were itching to fight.
Gu Changfeng laughed and said, "Let's go and make some space for the devils. We'll attack them when they're almost done fighting."
After he finished speaking, the two of them led the large army directly into the Taihang Mountains.
Liu Heiqi was also afraid of retaliation, so he chose a place close to Taihang Mountain. The village was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If all else failed, there was a cable car on the cliff behind the mountain for evacuation. It was indeed an ideal base.
An hour later, Yoshiko Nakajima led a squadron of Japanese soldiers to the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers also deployed an attack formation in the rear.
Her goal was simple. She had to capture this group of bandits today. If she could persuade them, that would be the best. Otherwise, she would just beat them down directly. Such a large force was not allowed to exist around them.
Just over ten minutes after Yoshiko Nakajima arrived, several people came down from the mountain, led by none other than the fourth in command, Lin Xuefei.
"Master Lin Si, are King Liu and the others ready?"
Yoshiko Nakajima didn't want to waste time and directly stated her purpose.
Lin Xuefei was recruited by her and is one of her own, so there is no need to say so much.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuefei humbly said, "Miss Fangzi, don't worry. The second and fifth brothers have been locked up, and all those who disobeyed have been stripped of their military power. The third brother is loyal to us, so Liu Heiqi can't command several people at this moment."
"Yoshi, Mr. Lin is indeed a talent that the Empire is eyeing," Nakajima Yoshiko nodded with satisfaction, then asked inconspicuously, "Is it okay for me to lead two squads of the Imperial Army up the mountain?"
As an intelligence officer, she is still relatively cautious. After all, if she wants to survive long in the intelligence front, she must be careful.
Lin Xuefei's heart was already with the devil, so he naturally didn't hesitate at all. He bowed and said, "Miss Fangzi, please come in!"
Half an hour later, Yoshiko Nakajima led dozens of Japanese soldiers to the top of the mountain. After leaving one group of Japanese soldiers in front of the village gate, Nakajima led another group of Japanese soldiers and followed Lin Xuefei to the hall leisurely.
At this point, Yoshiko Nakajima had already put her mind at ease. Lin Xuefei did not stop her from placing people there, proving that the mountain had indeed been under their control as Lin Xuefei said.
Moreover, the imperial army at the foot of the mountain is ready and can attack the mountain at any minute, so she can be fearless now.
After walking for another ten minutes on the mountain road, they entered the inner gate. There were more than a hundred bandits guarding the inner gate. Four or five machine guns were mounted on the simple fortifications, which made Yoshiko Nakajima sigh.
Even though the bandit's weapons seem to be good, as soon as the imperial army attacks, these bandits are nothing but chickens and dogs.
Lin Xuefei didn't know what Nakajima was thinking. Seeing that she suddenly stopped moving, he immediately bowed and said, "Miss Fangzi, please go in first. The headmaster is already waiting for your arrival inside!"
Yoshiko Nakajima nodded slightly and led her men towards the largest building in the village. She was well aware of the situation of the bandit's lair and naturally knew its exact location.
"King Liu, you are still so handsome after not seeing you for a few days. Fangzi has met King Liu."
Nakajima brought two Japanese soldiers into the hall. When he saw Liu Heiqi sitting at the top, he immediately bowed and smiled.
In the hall, people like Chang Yungui and Qian San who were loyal to the Japanese saw Nakajima Yoshiko coming in, and they all came forward to please her like dogs seeing their master, completely ignoring Liu Heiqi who was at the head of the group.
Liu Heiqi watched coldly, watching this group of people perform, not taking it seriously at all.
In fact, it is no wonder that Chang Yungui and others are like this. Nakajima has not done nothing these two days.
On the contrary, she made promises to all these leaders, big and small, such as the commander of the Imperial Army Corps, battalion commander, and company commander. As for Liu Heiqi, she only gave him the position of deputy county magistrate without power.
