Chapter 68: Gunshots in the middle of the night

"Yo Si! Asakusa-kun, at the current speed, we can rush to Pingyao tomorrow, we have collected enough mules and horses along the way, and we can finally relax in Yanwu Town. Come to Asakusa-kun, let's have a drink, and when Watanabe and they send back the results of the reconnaissance, we will be able to know whether Pingyao has been captured by thunder" Goro Hashimoto sent a telegram to several large strongholds in the Japanese-controlled area along the way when they set off, and only a few strongholds west of Yanwu Town replied, but there was no news from Yanwu Town to the east, and the main task of the Watanabe Brigade of the forward force was to reconnoiter the situation in Pingyao.

"Dazuo is really wise, Watanabe is the most capable Zhongzuo in Jiaocheng, it is really a wise move to send him as a striker, and the Watanabe brigade is disguised as the Imperial Association Army to investigate, the people of China would never have thought that the 1000 Imperial Alliance Army was pretended to be imperial soldiers, and when they came back to strength, I am afraid that Watanabe had already taken Pingyao City" There are always people who are funny, this is not! Chief of Staff Asakusa has also learned how to pat himself properly when he is happy under the bridge, at least to avoid being a punching bag when he is in a bad mood.

In order to make Goro Hashimoto live and sleep well, his soldiers recruited the house of the rich man Hu in the town, although it is not as comfortable as Goro Hashimo's residence in Beiping, but at the moment this situation is not bad, and it is still eating and drinking with wine and meat. "Maybe" Asakusa's sycophants didn't get the effect they should, and Goro Hashimoto's words didn't have that joy.

On the way out of Luliang, the seemingly calm itinerary has kept Goro Hashimo's heart hanging, and in the half month since he was transferred from Beiping to Shanxi, Goro Hashimoto heard the most thing is the description of Tuba Road in Shanxi. Sneak attack, ambush, cold gun, these in the eyes of professional officers are scoundrel general behavior appear in the description of the Tu Ba Road, Lu Liang dispatched the Japanese puppet army The action is very big and public, and it is impossible to hide it, from being appointed as the commander of the 7000 day puppet army, the most worrying thing about Goro under the bridge is to be entangled in the Tu Ba Road, once entangled by the Tu Ba Road, it means endless cold guns and sneak attacks.

The real intention of Goro Hashimo's order to change the costumes of the Japanese soldiers and the Imperial Alliance Army was to guard against the cold guns and sneak attacks of the Tubalu, and he knew that the battlefield was sinister, and he didn't believe that the 7,000-day puppet army that had been put together temporarily could solve the Thunder Army in Ding'an and Wuxiang, and in the order that Goro received under the bridge, his temporary wing was only tasked with attracting the attention of the Thunder Troops, and it was an infantry field wing from Jinzhong that really shot to destroy the Thunder Troops.

After walking on the road for a few days, he finally arrived at Yanwu Town, which was still a day away from Pingyao, and Goro Hashimoto was worried about the Tubalu attack but never showed up, it stands to reason that this should be a good thing, but Goro Hashimoto has been very worried, he is worried that Thunder's troops may have taken Pingyao, and Thunder's troops may have opened a big net in Pingyao and are waiting for him to send it to the door. The telegrams of those mud cows entering the sea are the best proof of this, and until now, all the Japanese garrisons in the area east of Yanwu Town have not replied to the telegrams, which makes Goro Hashimoto very worried.

"Dazuo, the sentinels found a fire on the east side of Yanwu Town, and it is estimated that it is more than ten miles away from us" When Goro Hashimoto and his chief of staff Asakusa pushed the cup to change the lamp, the personal adjutant who came in from outside brought a message. Yanwu Town is the place where Goro Hashimoto temporarily stationed his troops, except for the 1,000 Watanabe Brigade pretending to be the Imperial Army, the rest of the more than 6,000 puppet troops are here, and the news brought by the adjutant seems to have nothing to do with their actions, but it makes Goro Hashimota's heart chuckle, because the direction of the Watanabe Brigade to investigate is the direction of the fire.

"Send a squadron to check on the situation, be careful not to fall into the ambush of the Shina people" Goro Hashimoto, who was worried about Watanabe's brigade, pondered for a while, but assigned a squadron of Japanese troops to the place where the fire broke out to find out. Although the sentinels on the outskirts of Yanwu Town only saw the firelight but did not hear the gunshots, Goro Hashimo's heart was still strange, and when everyone else felt that he was making a fuss, Goro Hashimoshita's heart connected this matter with the Watanabe Brigade who went out to investigate for no reason.

If the distance of more than ten miles was placed in the daytime, the Japanese squadron driving the truck might be able to arrive in two hours, but this is night, and when they are in a hurry, they have to beware of the dirt road that will appear at any time, so their speed can already be described as turtle speed, if they didn't drive the truck out instead of walking, maybe they won't be able to go far after dawn. "Tell the brothers to get ready, the Japanese are coming, leave these trucks first, we don't have to run away when we go back" The sound of the trucks moving spread far away in the night, and the Japanese squadron sent out by Goro Hashimoto happened to be hit by Tang Lei, who went out to investigate.

After Xiaohe Village easily killed the Watanabe Brigade with poison gas bombs, Tang Lei contacted Zhao Zhi at night and asked to send Jewish infantry to Xiaohe Village to clean up the battlefield, and he wanted to take his mercenaries to Yanwu Town. The intelligence sent by Wang Chen said that the number of the Japanese puppet army in Luliang was more than 000, but the Japanese army that Tang Lei found and eliminated was pretending to be the imperial army, so that the data of 7000 people in Wang Chen's intelligence mentioned in the Japanese puppet army could not be counted, Tang Lei wanted to face the Japanese puppet army in Luliang, he wanted to touch the bottom of this group of Japanese puppet army, and figure out how many of the 7000 Japanese puppet army who came this time were real Japanese soldiers.

Tang Lei and others, who were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Allied Army, walked over to the Japanese truck, and dozens of people suddenly appeared on the highway in the middle of the night. "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we are the Imperial Cooperative Army of Pingyao City, we are out of the city to grab the Eighth Road, don't shoot" Tang Lei, who was walking in the front, stopped and waved his two hands, indicating that he had no malicious intent.

"You are the Imperial Allied Army of Pingyao? Why are you the only ones who come out to catch the dirt? Where are the soldiers of our empire? Although the Japanese soldier who led the team did not order the machine gun to fire, he only stuck his head out of the cab to ask Tang Lei and others, and the light machine gun on the front of the car was also aimed at them.

"Taijun, it's not just us, the Taijun who went out of the city with us are on the hill on that side, a few of us are blocking the road here, the radio station in the city was destroyed by the Tuba Road, Kameda Taijun was angry, so he ordered us to go out of the city to catch the Tuba Road, it's been three days" Tang Lei took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it into the cab, pointing his finger at the two light machine guns set up in the grass on the side of the road, indicating that these people were the troops sent by Pingyao to block the road.

"Baga, you are Pingyao's troops, then why did we send you a telegram when we set off from Luliang but didn't reply" The Japanese soldier Shaozuo who jumped from the cab was obviously a little unconscious, Tang Lei had just told him that the radio station in the city was destroyed by Tubalu, so naturally there was no way to give them a telegram. Tang Lei continued to repeat what he had just said, while taking out a match to light a cigarette for the Japanese soldier, anyone who saw it would say that Tang Lei was a traitor and lackey at all.

may have realized his slip of the tongue, the Japanese soldier Shaozuo took the cigarette handed over by Tang Lei and put it in his mouth, but just when he stretched his neck and tilted his head to wait for Tang Lei to light a cigarette for him, the short knife that suddenly appeared in Tang Lei's hand cut his throat. "Do it" With Tang Lei's shout, dozens of black shadows came out of the dark night on the side of the road, and approached the truck parked on the road in pairs, "Da Da" The last memory of the Japanese soldier Shaozuo who was cut by Tang Lei cut his throat was the dozens of tongues of fire that shot into the truck compartment, and his subordinates who were napping in the carriage did not come back to their senses at all, and they were already engulfed by the tongue of fire.

In less than a minute, 220 Japanese soldiers on eight trucks were beaten into blood gourds by Thomson submachine guns with a rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute, including the machine gunners on the front of each truck. "Mend the gun, then clean up the corpse, hurry up" Tang Lei took off his Imperial Army uniform in a few clicks, they attacked the Japanese squadron on the highway to seize the truck, this was only a temporary decision, he did not send the front guard and the scouts on both wings, although the gunfire was only less than a minute, but who can guarantee that the Japanese army will not come again from Yanwu Town, today's harvest is not small, Tang Lei suddenly changed his plan and wanted to retreat to Pingyao.

"Report, there are gunshots from the east of Yanwu Town, it seems that it is not very far away from us, it is estimated that the Gangjing squadron and the Zhina people who left an hour ago exchanged fire, but the gunfire only lasted less than a minute before stopping, do we want to send troops to investigate?" The Japanese sentry who heard the gunshots ran to report the situation, and Goro Hashimoto, who had just fallen asleep, broke out in a cold sweat. It was shown that a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the direction of the Watanabe brigade, and then less than an hour after the Okai squadron left, gunshots were heard, and Goro Hashimoto secretly screamed that it was not good and rushed out of the house with two feet barefoot.

"Immediately gather troops to blockade the entire Yanwu Town, a large group of Kobayashi squadrons immediately set off to support the Gangjing squadron, stop other officers from coming to me for a meeting, and immediately" The barefoot Goro Hashimoto was a little hysterical, anyone who was awakened in his sleep would also be such a virtuous, not to mention that Goro Hashimoto had already judged that the Okai squadron was fighting with the thunder at this time, I am afraid that the Watanabe brigade that came out a few hours ago is already fierce and unlucky at this time, this thunder is really terrible.
