Taiyuan.

Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.

"Yamamoto-kun, this intelligence work is well done."

Yoshio Shinozuka put down the telegram in his hand and admired Yamamoto, who was standing upright.

Then, he continued to laugh and say:

"There is news from the south that the navy's batch of gold has been intercepted, and the transport ship is escorting it to the shore, and according to the conditions agreed before, we can get one and a half tons."

"The Navy doesn't..."

Yamamoto was stunned.

Counting the time, it's only a few hours since the army started!

It's too fast.

That's three tons of gold, which is quite a lot.

In the cabinet, the navy and the army are fighting for a little military expenditure every year, and the dogs on both sides are beating out, and the emperor can't come down to fight, why is this batch of gold, and the navy recognized it so quickly?

There's definitely something wrong with that.

"It's a good job of your intelligence work."

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't think much about it, and still said with a smile:

"The group of stupid red deer didn't expect that we would be able to investigate the departure time of his transport ship, so they only sent a small team of escorts, and the vigilance force was obviously insufficient."

Yoshio Shinozuka's tone was full of satisfaction.

Yamamoto Kazuki's intelligence ability is really beyond his expectations, this batch of gold, the army in the south has also been looking for it, investigating, but it has not been found, but it was found by Yamamoto.

"And in the inland areas, the navy does not have much strength, and it is normal to give up resistance."

He went on to explain.

The sea and land were mortal enemies, but no one dared to fire the first shot, and in the face of the superior army, the navy wisely gave up resistance and prepared to save the gold through high-level intervention.

But it's too quick to give up resistance, right?

There must be a problem.

Although he still had doubts in his heart, Yamamoto still bowed his head and had a humble attitude: "Hey, this is what a humble duty should be." ”

"General."

Afterwards, Yamamoto bowed his head and asked, "Does the Navy have any reaction to this?" ”

"It's not clear."

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka obviously frowned slightly, obviously he was also very puzzled by this matter:

"There has been no movement from the navy yet, and according to the telegram from the south, Tanimoto has only sent a large sa to deal with the matter."

In contrast, if his three tons of gold were robbed, then he would send a large army to deter him as soon as possible, and at the very least, he would send an officer corps, or an officer at the rank of major general to deal with the matter.

"Speaking of which, the recent naval operations are really weird."

Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka recalled the recent changes in the domestic navy.

Judging by all the investigations, it seems that the Navy is busy, very busy, but does not know what it is busy with?

"I don't know."

Yamamoto bowed his head silently.

As a large sa, he has limited access to information, but judging from the clues in the country and the sudden and difficult supply of materials recently, Yamamoto can guess that the navy should have a major military operation.

But...

Who are they going to deal with?

"Anyway, the gold is already in hand, and the red deer can't go back."

Yoshio Shinozuka finally snorted coldly.

The gold has already been in the hands of the army, so the navy should not want to go back, even if they drive the so-called capital ship in, they can't take it back, can your warship still drive to land?

Moreover, the navy occupies so much money every year, and this bit of gold is not enough for them to eat and drink.

"General, please send someone to inspect the gold."

Yamamoto, who is proficient in intelligence analysis, still feels that something is wrong, and reminds.

"Hmm."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.

For this henchman, although he is not interested in special operations, he still attaches great importance to other aspects, especially intelligence analysis.

······

Huai River.

on board the transporter.

After the two shuttles killed the three devil telegraph operators, the monk rummaged up and down for a long time, and only found a few devil crew members.

For those devils who were holding knives and shouting, the monk was too lazy to talk nonsense, and he didn't even bother to waste bullets, so he rushed up and directly crushed the throats of those little bean devils.

"Fuck..."

didn't find the devil, and the monk, who was not enjoying it at all, grinned and put away the gun.

At this time, in the cabin, Zhang Dabiao lifted the loaded wooden box with one foot, and suddenly, a shining bright yellow shone out. At the same time, the surrounding soldiers also lifted the wooden box.

In an instant, the whole room was illuminated in a golden hue.

"My mother..."

"Mother..."

"How much does this have to be..."

The members of the special squad are okay, after all, they are also people who have seen the world, they have also seen a ton of gold in Taiyuan, and they have touched it with their own hands, and their expressions are not too shocked, but the other fighters are not so calm.

There were dozens of large boxes of gold in front of him, as well as a full of gold, which made everyone else lose their minds for the first time.

Smack...

Seeing this situation, Zhang Dabiao's eyes flashed, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly took out a gun and shot it at the top of his head, and the piercing sound of gunfire pulled everyone back from their distraction.

"In groups of three, load up the gold and load it to the motorboat."

"Move fast."

"We don't have time to delay."

Zhang Dabiao said sharply.

Although the wealth is moving, it is not only the elite fighters who can enter the team this time, but also the warriors with firm beliefs, and everyone reacts quickly, without command, and they have started to act.

The gold is removed from the chest, wrapped in a canvas that has been prepared long ago, and lowered onto the motorboat by rope. A hundred men worked together, and in just half an hour, three tons of gold were released into the boat.

Before leaving, the monk did not forget to catch the radio in the cabin.

There were even many warriors who took the time to loot the belongings of other cabins, and took everything they could with them, anyway, the gold was transported by large mules.

"Let's go."

Glancing back at the transport ship, Zhang Dabiao waved his hand and led people away directly.

If there was enough time, he would have wanted to blow up this transport ship, after all, this is a devil's thing, but now he is in a hurry, and he does not carry explosives or grenades, so he will let this search transport ship go.

The engines hummed violently, and the three motorboats rowed out violent waves and headed for the shore.

Although the motorboat provided by Chen Fan was exactly the same as the motorboat of the Devil Army on the surface, the power was obviously much larger, and the speed was very fast, and it arrived on the river bank in a few minutes.

In the spirit of disposable things, use them casually, the three drivers directly crushed the accelerator and washed the motorboat onto the riverbank.

On the banks of the river, fifty large mules were already waiting here.

"Load the gold on the mule and move quickly."

Turning over, Zhang Dabiao jumped off without waiting for the boat to stop shaking.

However, his order was obviously redundant, and before he could finish his words, the warriors began to move, carrying the bags of gold on top of the mules, and tying them with ropes.

Fifty large mules were divided into two groups, one of forty horses, each of which weighed less than eighty kilograms, and the other group of ten, which were already loaded with provisions, weapons, ammunition, and so on.

In less than half an hour, the gold was loaded.

"I'll go first."

After talking to Zhang Dabiao, Wang Gensheng took sixty warriors and forty mules and quickly left along the mountain road.

In order to speed up, their weapons and equipment and other main loads were placed on large mules, and even so, the weight on each large mule did not exceed 95 kilograms, not even two-thirds of the standard load, and it was easy to walk.

After all, feed and food are already prepared on the road, and there is no need to carry too much.

"Find a hidden place and burn these."

Looking at Wang Gensheng and the others who were far away, Zhang Dabiao, who stayed behind, pointed to the devil military uniform on the ground.

"Let's go over there."

Tightening the submachine gun in his hand, Zhang Dabiao pointed to a route that deviated from Wang Gensheng's departure route about ninety degrees: "There is a devil's stronghold over there, let's go show our faces." ”

Burning the military uniform, before leaving, the monk pointed to a few motorboats:

"Then this ship..."

"It's useless, just stay here."

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand and ran into the distance with the remaining forty people and ten big mules.

·····

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General."

Inside the naval headquarters, a staff officer walked in again: "Koizumi Daisa's telegram." ”

"Oh? Show me. ”

Lieutenant General Tanimoto was still leisurely wiping his katana.

Putting down the katana, he took the telegram handed by the staff officer, and at first glance, his face suddenly changed:

"Nani?"

"Koizumi met the horsemanure motorboat?"

Fortunately, the number of them in the back, as well as Koizumi Daisa's speculation, made him breathe a sigh of relief: "There are only three, and there are no heavy machine guns, so it is estimated that they have encountered a patrol motorboat." ”

Then, he scolded:

"Baga, how did the intelligence department get it, the location of the army's motorboat has not been clarified."

Like the navy's tanks, there are not many army motorboats, especially around the Huai River, and there are only a handful, and the intelligence department swore that there are no army motorboats near the Huai River, where did these three jump out.

"Waste."

Scolding again, Gu Ben still had a smile on his face.

A small accident, he is not worried.

It's just that before he could smile for three seconds, another staff officer came in in a panic, and his tone was even more flustered:

'Your Excellency'

"Koizumi Osa convoy was attacked by horse manure..."

"Moreover, we lost contact with each other."

The first time he heard the news, Lieutenant General Tanimoto was stunned, his smile disappeared instantly, and then he reacted, stood up suddenly, and his eyes widened: "What's the matter?" What's the situation? ”

"How dare horse manure?"

Tanimoto's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

Although the empire has constant sea and land disputes, and even has the intention of fighting, secretly, in order to fight for resources, almost all the dog's brains have been played, but on the surface, both sides are very restrained, and everyone knows very well that once whoever makes the first move, will definitely suffer a big loss in the end.

Horse manure shouldn't be able to do it, and it can't be so stupid.

However, it is not excluded that the stunned young army fool dares to do this.

"According to the telegram, it was the hand of the horse's manure, but the other party should have disrupted the communication contact, and the last telegram received only a few words."

The staff officer bowed his head.

"What did you say at the end?"

Tanimoto narrowed his eyes, his face extremely gloomy.

Whoever does it, then, this time the gold is probably ·····

It's just that didn't Koizumi say that there were only three motorboats? How could it not even be sent by telegram?

"The convoy is attacked, and the enemy is..."

Seeing the telegram handed over by the staff officer, Tanimoto was so angry that he almost wanted to cut someone.

"Order the reconnaissance flight team to take off, all of them take off, and quickly reconnoiter Banqiao Town."

Taking a deep breath, Tanimoto pulled out his katana in a hoarse voice and roared hoarsely: "The surrounding naval personnel are also moving closer to Banqiao Town, and the naval ships around the Huai River want to get closer to Banqiao Town. ”

"Check it out for me."

······

On the shore of a port along the Yangtze River.

More than a dozen motorboats slowly stopped around a transport ship, which aroused the curiosity of the surrounding people, but these ships were planted with plaster flags, as well as the devils who blocked the port in advance, so that the people could only suppress their curiosity.

But on a hidden hillside more than a kilometer away, a few people lurking in the grass looked through binoculars:

"This should be the gold that the bureau is looking for, right?"

"Yes, it should be."

"Hmph, was this robbed by the Devil Army? The little devil is really at odds with the sea and land..."

Let's take a closer look. ’

When a few people sneaked closer.

On the side of the riverbank port, the captain in charge of this mission suddenly saw his own co-captain coming, and immediately bowed his head and saluted.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander."

"You get on board, open a few more boxes, and see what's inside."

The wing captain was in a bad mood and his tone was very impulsive.

This time, it cooperated with the First Army of the North China Front to intercept the gold of the navy.

It's a good thing, but it also makes the garrison on their side very faceless.

They had known about this batch of gold for a long time, but they had not robbed the navy before, and they could not find it after the search, but the First Army, which was hundreds of kilometers away, investigated the information, which made them lose their faces.

Just now, the First Army actually suspected that there was something wrong with the goods they seized, and it might not be gold, which suddenly made him feel even worse.

Are they so stupid?

This has been confirmed for a long time, and it is indeed gold inside.

But in the face of the requirements of the rank of lieutenant general, even if it is not his direct boss, he can only implement it, after all, he is a close friend of the commander of his own division.

"What do you want to do?"

"We're going to check the cargo again."

"No, as I said before, this cargo is a confidential material for the Navy, and it can only be opened after an officer comes."

The conversation on the boat suddenly made the mood very unpleasant realize that something was wrong.

I've checked it before, why didn't I let it check this time?

"Is it..."

The captain of this devil wing narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and ordered the troops to forcibly rush up to check.

In the face of superior forces, the resistance of the red deer was delicate and weak, and a group of devils and horse dung suddenly rushed in.

A few minutes later, the devil captain rushed out in a panicked tone, still holding a box in his hand.

"Wing Captain..."

"Except for one box of gold, everything else is stone."

"Nani?"

First, his face changed, and then the wing commander suddenly became a little angry: "Hmph, the intelligence department of the North China Front is nothing more than that, and it hasn't been tricked by the navy." ”

Before, he was haunted by the mistakes in intelligence, but now, despite the loss of gold, for some reason, he is in a much better mood.

"It's not gold."

At this moment, a staff officer ran over and handed the captain of the Great Zuo Wing a telegram.

At this look, the captain of this devil wing suddenly raised his eyebrows, full of surprise:

"Navy planes are dispatched en masse, even the Marine Corps is dispatched, what is this for?"

"Moreover, it is heading in the direction of the Huai River..."

As for the navy stationed on the coast, the army stationed in the south is naturally keeping a close eye on it, and it can be known as soon as there is any movement.
