Chapter 4 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
"How many?" Yan Wu, who was munching on the roast chicken, asked casually without raising his head. The kid who was busy recording next to him turned sideways and took the notebook in his hand to Yan Wudao and glanced at it. "This Feng family is quite capable of making money" Yan Wudao had already heard about the few guys who could speak Japanese had been found out, but Yan Wudao didn't want to let go of the Feng family like this, so several detachments that followed him to Zhaoyuan Town immediately became bandits, as long as they were valuable and carried, they were all searched out and piled up in the front yard of the Feng family, waiting for Yan Wudao to finally come up with an idea.
"You all listen, if anyone has collusion with the Japanese like the Feng family, break off the relationship as soon as possible, otherwise the next time we come back, it won't be as simple as taking the money" Carrying a leather bag full of gold bars, Yan Wudao laughed and walked out of the Feng family's courtyard, and drove away with his people in several big cars of the Feng family. Waiting for Yan Wudao and they drove the cart all the way to the west, and a few fast bicycles rushed out of the Feng family's compound and went straight to the county seat, the Feng family was arrested by Yan Wudao and robbed of money, naturally they couldn't swallow this breath, but the guns of the Imperial Association Army and the militia were disarmed, and they had to ask the Japanese army in the county for help.
Zhaoyuan Town is more than ten miles away from the county seat, and the bicycle that runs all the way only takes half an hour to enter the county seat. "Report to Taijun, the troops of the national army have just attacked Zhaoyuan Town, and our Feng family has resisted desperately, but the regular troops of the national army are coming, and our Feng family really can't stand it, so please Taijun quickly send troops to support" It was Feng Yicai's brother Feng Zhanbing who rushed to the county seat to move the troops, and he followed his brother into the Japanese barracks in the county seat, and also knew the Japanese commander who led the troops.
"Nani? Regular troops of the National Army? Commander Tada didn't believe Feng Zhanbing's words, when he occupied the county seat, he led his troops to sweep the surrounding villages many times, and there was no trace of the national army and Tubalu, it was not the Feng family's people who were lying. But the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Feng family are acting as translators under themselves, they shouldn't have the courage to coax themselves, and they also sent a squad of soldiers to the Feng family today to congratulate their birthdays.
Tada, who is straight, just thought about it in his heart for a while, then agreed to Feng Zhanbing's request, and was ready to personally lead the troops to rescue Zhaoyuan Town. It's just a dozen miles away, in case it's a misunderstanding, then eat a good meal from his Feng family in Zhaoyuan Town. Feng Zhanbing did not explain that Tada's squad leader Kogoro had been killed, he was afraid that after saying it, Tada would be angry with him, as long as Tada could take the Japanese soldiers to Zhaoyuan Town to rescue, then he would say that Kogoro was killed by the national army, and it would be a big deal to spend some money, anyway, Zhaoyuan Town had the final say, and Feng Zhanbing was not afraid that someone would tell the real cause of Kogoro's death.
Although Tada is a straight guy, but after all, he is still a squadron leader, and he still has the ability to arrange troops, after some thought, Tada left a small team of Japanese troops and dozens of imperial troops in the county town to defend, and he took the other two squads of Japanese soldiers and more than 100 imperial troops to follow Feng Zhanbing to Zhaoyuan Town. Fearing that he would be ambushed in the middle of the road, Tada divided his troops into several parts, and not only sent sharp soldiers to explore the road, but also sent scouts on both flanks of the road, taking 500 meters on both sides of the road as a reconnaissance range.
There are more things arranged, and the speed of travel naturally slows down, Tada who is nested in the three-wheeled motorcycle is not in a hurry, but Feng Zhanbing, who is riding a bicycle, is anxious, if he rushes to Zhaoyuan Town at this speed, the guy who robbed the Feng family will already run away. I thought so in my heart, but Feng Zhanbing didn't dare to say it, so he had to follow Tada on the highway at a rapid pace, only a dozen miles to walk for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the periphery of Zhaoyuan Town, but Tada suddenly ordered the troops to stop, he wanted to send sharp soldiers to reconnoiter first.
Zhaoyuan Town, which had just experienced the impact of the national army, was quiet at this time, and there was not even a single person inside or outside the town, let alone those imperial troops who were supposed to be guarding the entrance of the town. When Yan Wudao and the others left, not only did they take away the Feng family's regiment and the imperial army guarding the town, but even the Japanese soldiers who came to pay their respects were all killed, and now there is no defense force in Zhaoyuan Town at all. The silence of Zhaoyuan Town made Tada can't help but give the order to stop advancing, in his opinion, it is very likely that a large number of Shina troops are in ambush in this quiet town, waiting for him to enter the ambush circle.
More than a dozen worried Imperial Allies were sent out, and under the leadership of a squad leader of the Imperial Allies, they cautiously approached the town. 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, until the dozen or so Imperial Association troops entered Zhaoyuan Town, Tada still didn't hear the gunshots he expected, could it be that he was wrong, Tada looked at the Imperial Association Army squad leader who was turning around and waving his hand with a puzzled face. "Forward" Tada waved his hand, and the troops that had been assembled behind him strode into Zhaoyuan Town.
The sound of cowhide military shoes stepping on the stone road broke the silence in the town, and many people secretly looked out from the cracks in their doors or walls, and some squires who were usually pro-Japanese saw that it was the Japanese army, and hurriedly took their families to stand in front of their houses waving small Japanese flags and shouting Sino-Japanese friendship. China's place is too big, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, some people do this, naturally there are people who follow the trend, in the face of life and death, most people have chosen not to have integrity and face, but choose to live in secret.
When Tada entered Zhaoyuan Town on a three-wheeled motorcycle, there were already many guys standing on both sides of the main street waving small Japanese flags and shouting Sino-Japanese goodwill. "Nani? They captured Kogoro? When Tada arrived at Feng's house, the yard was still in a mess, but the blood stains on the ground had already been cleaned, and after the meat oil was sprinkled on the ground again, even the military dogs couldn't smell the blood on the ground.
A squad of Japanese soldiers was killed in the Feng family, such a thing is not something that the Feng family can afford, after the caliber was unified, those Japanese soldiers buried in the Feng family's cellar magically became prisoners of the national army, and the first to bear the brunt was Second Lieutenant Kogoro under Tada. "Report, the county town is under attack, Yamahashi Juncao asks you to immediately bring troops back to help" A Japanese soldier on a bicycle ran in with a sweaty face, and Tada, who was already angry, kicked over the table full of food in front of him as soon as he raised his foot.
