Chapter 623: The Mine Guards Are Exposed
Although Liao Fan hid in Yingxian, he did not let go of the matter of Datong, after all, the Kang family had already attacked the New 33rd Army, of course Liao Fan would not be merciful to the Kang family, but the only estimate that Liao Fan estimated was Kang Hailong's third son Kang Youting.
If Kang Youting really worked hard for the country on the front line, he cut off the Kang family's heads behind his back, which is the killing of the family members of the anti-Japanese generals, and the entire Chinese people will not consider what the Kang family has done, but will only launch a public opinion attack on the New 33rd Army.
Although he had ordered the personnel of the New 33rd Army in Chongqing to investigate this Kang Youting, there was no news yet. As long as Kang Youting is there, Liao Fan can't help but have a little more scruples in his heart.
This is also the reason why Liao Fan came to Yingxian, there are many things in Datong City, and there is no way to consider the fact that Kang Youting is the commander of the national army, he must find a quiet place to think about the stakes.
Liao Fan had a rare lazy sleep in Yingxian County, he didn't know how long he hadn't slept so comfortably, compared to the prosperity of Datong, he preferred the tranquility of Yingxian.
The spring sun had forced people to take off their heavy clothes, and the weather was getting warmer, and the fields were already green in the distance from the city walls. Looking at the scenery in the distance, Liao Fan thought of the mine protection team, and the mood that had just relaxed became entangled again.
The mine guard team has been missing for several days, and there is still no news, and the soldiers of the special operations brigade have been sent several times to go deep behind enemy lines, and there is no news that the mine guard team has been wiped out.
Thinking of the mine guards, the scenery outside the city became more and more annoying, and Liao Fan simply walked down the city wall and no longer enjoyed the scenery of spring.
It has been the fourth day since the mine protection team entered the Shandong territory, at least these four days have proved that Shen Zhengwen's decision is correct, the Japanese army in the direction of Hebei has been looking for this force attacking them to find madness, but they have not found any news about this force.
In the past three days, the commander of the little devil has fired at his subordinates I don't know how many times, but they have already searched all the areas under their control, but they have found no trace of the mine protection team.
"Your Excellency, Commander, could it be that they have already escaped?" The little devil's staff officer asked cautiously, for fear of incurring the commander's wrath.
The Japanese commander glared and looked at the staff officer, and the staff officer's analysis was not impossible, so much time had passed, and there was no news that could show the traces of this unit, they really might have escaped.
But how could the commander of the little devil be willing to flee this army, not to mention the losses on the border of Cangzhou, the Pinghan line was attacked, a large amount of munitions and materials were turned into ashes, and his superiors were shaken, how could he report to his superiors that the Chinese army had fled. What his superiors wanted was for this army to disappear from the face of the earth, not to run away.
"You can't! Absolutely impossible, not a single unit will be able to escape from the hands of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”
As long as there is no definite evidence, the commander of the little devil will not allow this to happen.
"Keep looking until you find it!"
No matter where this unit is, the commander of the little devil has already given a death order, that is, to find this army, no matter what the cost, to find out the situation of this army.
Although spring has arrived and everything has recovered, the land of China is still in shambles. The little devils go around grabbing strong men to repair turrets, especially in their occupied areas, where they can kill people with impunity.
Just as the mine guards marched to the hilly boundary of the cave, a Japanese squad was slaughtering a village with impunity, just because one of their turrets was attacked by a Chinese, and while pursuing to the village, the Chinese attacking the turret disappeared. So the little devil decided to take revenge on the villagers to the end and began to massacre the village.
Before the local people could react, the butcher's knife of the little devil fell on them. The invaders enjoyed the blood unscrupulously, and the people of the village were unarmed and could not resist at all, and soon half of the village was killed by the little devils.
Coincidentally, the place where the mine guard team rested was not far from this village, in order not to alarm the little devils, the mine guard team was day and night, and even the village was avoided when marching.
However, today they were destined to be unable to avoid the little devils, and the reconnaissance soldiers conveyed the news to Shen Zhengwen that a small squad of Japanese troops was sweeping a village.
The Japanese army who took down a squad was no problem for the mine protection team that was not what it used to be, but this also meant that they were completely exposed, and it was impossible for them to sneak like this again.
Several officers of the Mine Guard did not agree to rescue the village, because saving the village would require a great sacrifice, and it is likely that more people would be sacrificed than the people of the village.
But Shen Zhengwen is the commander of this army, no matter whether Shen Zhengwen was a useless scholar before, but now Shen Zhengwen has proven their ability in front of the soldiers.
"What are we soldiers for?" Shen Zhengwen asked those officers who did not agree with the action, "Brother Fan, I said that we are soldiers to defend our family and country, and these ordinary people are part of our country, if we don't save them, how can we protect our family and defend the country?" ”
The officers of the mine protection team understand all these truths, after all, they are officers, but things happen to their own heads, it is easy to say, but it is not the same thing to do, their own lives are in danger, how to talk about protecting the family and defending the country.
"I listen to the captain!" An officer looked at Shen Zhengwen firmly.
"We listen to the captain too!"
Whether you want to or not, Shen Zhengwen just wants everyone to unite as one, and only when they are united can they have the most powerful strength to get out of the current predicament, return to Jingcheng, and return to the battle sequence of the New 33rd Army.
"All of them act quickly to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, and after the battle is over, the troops go south!"
According to Shen Zhengwen's plan, he originally planned to wander around the border between Shandong and Hebei, and when the Japanese troops in Hebei relaxed their vigilance, they took the opportunity to return to Hebei, and then return to Jingcheng.
But now things have changed, once they eliminate this Japanese squad, the Japanese army will definitely be able to know their whereabouts, and the Japanese army in Hebei will definitely block the border between Shandong and Hebei, and their original plan will definitely not be carried out.
Shen Zhengwen didn't think about it anymore, now they have to rescue the people in the village first.
The Japanese army was in full swing of killing, and the captain of the little devil's squad held his command knife high and only picked up a baby, showing off his might.
"Da Da Da"
The light machine gun sprayed tongues of fire, and then there were shouts of killing all over the mountains, and the squad leader of the little devils panicked, judging from the sound, they encountered more than ten times their Chinese.
However, before he could think about it, bullets killed him, and a soldier rushed in and picked up the crying baby.
The mine protection team really caught dozens of little devils, except for one killed and more than a dozen people slightly injured, the mine protection team no longer had any losses.
The dazed surviving villagers looked at this unit falling from the sky, and just stood dumbfounded, since Shandong fell to the enemy-occupied area, they had never seen a formed Chinese army again.
Shen Zhengwen stood in front of them, not knowing if they hadn't reacted yet, or if they had been frightened by the little devil.
"Folks, I'm afraid you can't stay here anymore, you should hurry up and take refuge in the mountains, and come back when the limelight comes!"
Shen Zhengwen shouted loudly to the villagers they had rescued, it was impossible for them to transfer so many people, so they could only let the people take refuge in the mountains.
However, at this time, all the people knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Zhengwen, wanting to thank Shen Zhengwen for saving his life.
"Fellow, fellow, what are you doing here!" Shen Zhengwen hurriedly stepped forward to support an old man with a relatively large grade.
"Sir, where are you from the army, I will definitely erect a monument to your immortality!"
"Uncle, we are from Taihang Mountain, you better hurry up and take the villagers up the mountain, the little devil will come in a while, and we have to hurry up and transfer!"
As soon as the gunshots rang out, there was not much time left for the mine protection team, and then they didn't have a detailed plan, and they had to face the encirclement and interception of the little devils.
The news of the ambush of the Japanese squad soon spread to the Japanese troops in the surrounding counties, and of course the Japanese had to take a look at the situation at the scene, but the village had already been empty, and no one saw them, only the corpses of their soldiers.
However, this does not delay the little devil's nonsense, with the ability of the Chinese army, if you want to annihilate the strength of their small team, you need at least two companies, or even a battalion of troops, except for the perverted troops of the recently rising New 33rd Army, of course.
However, in their defense area, there were very few Chinese troops of more than 50 people, and when so many Chinese troops suddenly appeared, the commander of the little devil began to think crankily.
It didn't matter if he was thinking about it, when he reported up, the other commanders also began to think nonsense, their Imperial Japanese Army was invincible, and after several layers of reports and exaggerations, it was really exaggerated to 2,000 people.
If Shen Zhengwen knew that the commander of the little devils was so cranky, he would definitely hang a small blackboard and give these little devils a good lesson in seeking truth from facts.
After determining the "real" number of this force, the first thing the little devil thought about was where this force came from, there had not been a force with so many people in their defense area for a long time, and a unit with so many people suddenly appeared, what was their purpose.
The Japanese army hurriedly called an emergency meeting of all the officers, which was a big deal, and they had to find out the situation and purpose of this force.
