The southern region is rich, economically developed, and rich in products, especially along the banks of the river, and is the main grain producing area.

After the devils occupied this side, they naturally sent a lot of troops.

"Red deer are converging towards the Huai River? The goal is in the direction of Kangda County? ”

As soon as possible, a commander of the Devil Division in the southern region learned the news.

Suddenly, this devil's heart was full of doubts.

"What do they want to do?"

"What are you trying to do?"

Several reconnaissance planes, intelligence services, and even the marines who were inferior to children were all sent out, and the poor force of the red deer on land was all dispatched.

What's going on?

Military operations?

There's no enemy over there, and it's his territory.

But after all, it is a division commander, even if it is a second-line division commander, but there is something in the brain to be able to mix in this position, thinking for a moment, recalling the news that it was a fake transport ship on the Yangtze River received before, he thought of a possibility:

"Is it..."

"Gold was actually transported from the Huai River? The Yangtze River is just a smoke bomb? ”

"Then, the gold on the Huai River was robbed by the government?"

"Otherwise, what else could make the Navy so bothered?"

Thinking of this, the division commander's eyebrows suddenly widened, with an obvious smile.

That's a good thing.

If the government can really steal the gold of the navy, it will be a great thing.

In this way, when they get it back, the red deer won't even be able to fart.

"Someone."

The lieutenant general called a staff officer: "Order the garrisons around Kangda County to move to Kangda County, and then notify Tegaoke to pay close attention to the movements of the red deer." ”

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head.

······

Ban.

A small town located on the Huai River.

Close to the Huai River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, this town has a large population, plus a dirt road passes, and the little devils have stationed a squadron here, almost more than a hundred devils.

On this day, the little devils patrolled along the highway as usual, and more than a dozen devils walked along the highway with arrogant steps, and pedestrians and the surrounding people avoided them along the way.

"Twelve little devils, a detachment, one crooked handle, and the rest are all three or eight big covers, without grenadiers."

Wang Gensheng left with the transport team, and this time it was the monk who was in charge of the investigation.

"Let's eat all these little devils."

The monk's tone was full of hunger and thirst.

Around Shou County, since the failure of the little devil cage tactic, he has rarely seen more than a dozen devils go out for a walk like a duck, the devils go out at least one squadron to start, and after Wang Gensheng led the special team to fight a few ambushes, even around Yangquan, and even near Shijiazhuang, the devils did not dare to go out.

As he spoke, he rushed forward with someone.

With the formation of these twelve devils, as well as the swaggering duck steps, their submachine gun firepower can be completely wiped out with a single shot.

"Nope."

Zhang Dabiao refused without hesitation.

Their purpose is to attract the attention of the devils and cover Wang Gensheng's transport team, but the little devils are not fools, and they take the initiative here, which may make the devils realize the abnormality.

According to common sense, after getting the gold, you should retreat immediately, and try to avoid fighting along the way.

"Then let these little devils go?"

The monk was very unwilling.

It's a shame to let go of the swaggering devil like this.

"Nope."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes shone with a dangerous light: "We can't take the initiative, we have to let the little devils accidentally discover us, and we can't wipe out all ·····."

"It's easy..."

The monk immediately agreed.

Subsequently, he took a dozen soldiers to the devil's side, during the period, a soldier accidentally let the devil find out when he was fetching water on the side of the road, the devil saw someone with a gun, and immediately shouted and raised the gun to chase over, chased for a while, and saw more than a dozen soldiers of the independent regiment armed with submachine guns rushing out of the woods, fierce firepower, a shot of the dozen devils fell into the water, after more than half of the dead and wounded.

This group of devils is not stupid, they will not be loyal to the locusts here, so they immediately anointed the soles of their feet with oil and slipped away.

The monk did not pursue, but retreated after firing a few shots at random.

"Let's go..."

When the monk brought people back, Zhang Dabiao looked at his watch, then opened the map and said:

"There are a lot of devil garrisons around here, including the Saito Wing north of Kangda County, and a brigade stationed in Kangda County, after the devils know that we will do it, they will definitely send troops to search south."

"Let's go east at full speed, and then find a place to show the devil and disturb the little devil's attention."

"If it's just once, the little devil probably won't be fooled."

······

"Unknown enemy traces found in Banqiao Town?"

This news was reported to the head of the Devil Division as soon as possible.

"Yes."

The staff officer in charge of the debriefing said:

"The specific number is unknown, but this group of people uses submachine guns, and they are very combative, and they can lose more than half of the patrol detachment in one face, and they should be elite regular troops."

"Their direction should be east."

"Banqiao Town."

The commander of the Devil Division walked to the map, looked at it, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

He found that Banqiao Town was only more than 30 miles away from Kangda County, and that it was a small port with the main road of the Huai River passing through it. And the Navy reconnaissance planes, the marines are rushing to the town of Banqiao.

If the Navy Red Deer Gold really didn't rob it, then it is very likely that this group of people did it.

"Command."

The commander of the Devil Division pondered for a moment and ordered:

"The Saito United dispatched two brigades, centered on Itabashi Town, to spread and search, and once this group is found, they will be eliminated immediately, and try to capture a few alive to inquire about the situation."

"Secondly, send a telegram to the garrisons of the counties, increase vigilance, block all junctions, especially the north, and prohibit the passage of any caravans."

Although the group of people they got went east, the commander of the Devil Division naturally understood the truth of attacking the east and west, and would not be stupid enough to search all the east.

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head.

"General."

As soon as the staff officer left, another staff officer entered:

"The Banqiao town garrison telegraphed that they found a stranded transport ship on the bank of the river, suspected to be a naval transport ship, and also found the bodies of naval personnel on the bank of the river."

After being beaten by Zhang Dabiao, the devil garrison around Banqiao Town came out to search, and found a lot of good things.

"Yo Si."

Faced with this news, the eyes of the head of the devil division lit up.

Confirmed.

The navy's gold was actually transported through the Huai River, but it was indeed looted by the Chinese.

Sure enough, it's a stupid red deer.

Then, I'll help you take it back, so you don't have to give it to Yoshio Shinozuka, that idiot.

"In addition, three stranded army-type motorboats were found on the tidal flats south of Banqiao Town, and these motorboats have been damaged." (Changed here, when Zhang Dabiao left yesterday, he blew up three motorboats with a grenade)

The staff officer's subsequent report made the division commander frown:

"Our motorboat?"

"Are you sure?"

The production of army motorboats is small, and each one is registered and the status is reported regularly.

"Hi, confirmed."

The staff officer's tone was very confirmed.

"What's going on?"

The division commander suddenly fell into doubt, and his face flickered.

Unknown Army Airboat.

Submachine guns···

Elite Soldiers····

Could it be...

The division commander recalled something.

······

Compared with the army's horse manure, the red deer's land intelligence force is obviously insufficient, but there are many waterways in the south, and the seaplanes rushing up along the Huai River also stopped near Banqiao Town, and then it was also confirmed that the transport ship was hijacked, but at this time the transport ship had been occupied by horse manure.

Naturally, horse manure will not give red deer a chance, and the devil navy who got off the seaplane can only stare dryly, and then report to his superiors, scold horse manure for being stupid, and report what he has seen and heard.

"Three stranded Army motorboats?"

When Lieutenant General Tanimoto heard this, his pupils immediately shrank.

Could it really be the hand of horse manure?

Which stunned young officer who didn't want to die did it?

"Saito United is heading for Itabashi Town, what are they searching for along the way?"

But then the pilot's debriefing made Lieutenant General Tanimoto hesitate again.

Or is it the hand of the government?

At the same time.

It was also Kangda County, near Banqiao Town, where a group of plainclothes people gathered in a house, all of them with bewildered expressions.

"According to the news, the reconnaissance plane of the Devil Navy has already set off and is flying along the Huai River to this side."

"Their Marines also set off."

"The devils from Kangda County also went to Banqiao Town."

"The Saito United, the devil stationed nearby, also sent two brigades to approach Kangda County, and they seemed to be searching for something, and the line was wide along the way."

"From the villagers of Banqiao Town, a few hours ago, it seems that there was a shootout on the Huai River, someone found the body of the devil on the riverbank, there was a transport boat running aground downstream, and there were three destroyed devil motorboats in the south of the village, but there were devils all around, and they couldn't get close."

"Also, there was a shootout south of Banqiao Town, and it seems that a few devils were killed, and a large number of devils were also found over there, but they were not confirmed, so they couldn't get close."

The messages were summarized one by one, making everyone even more confused.

It seems that something big has happened, otherwise the devil would not have made such a big move, gathering by sea and land, but what happened?

"What the hell is going on?"

Fingers tapped on the table, and the head of the intelligence officer here was running at full speed.

The oni Saito United approached this side, but slowly, as if searching for someone. A transport ship suspected of being a devil ran aground, and three devil motorboats ran aground or were even destroyed.

"Someone should have robbed the goods on the devil's transport ship, and it was an important cargo, otherwise the devil wouldn't have made such a big move."

He speculated on the possibility.

"But what kind of cargo is it?"

"Could it be gold? There was news from the above that a batch of gold from the devil will be shipped back to the devil's homeland, so let's investigate. ”

"Didn't you say that it was transported from the Yangtze River?"

The crowd was gossiping for a while.

At this time, it is not clear here, what happened on the other side of the Yangtze River, after all, the time is too short, and there is no time to communicate with each other.

"No matter what happened, it's a fact that the devil was attacked."

The person in charge knocked on the table, quieted everyone down, and began to speak in a solemn tone: "Our primary purpose at the moment is to find out, who did it?" And what did he do? ”

"Then, can we take this opportunity to find out the news of some devils."

The person in charge of intelligence is obviously well versed in the way of intelligence, and knows very well that this kind of unexpected moment is the best time to inquire about intelligence.

Everyone began to think in unison.

For a moment the room fell silent.

"Mountain bandits?"

"Could it be their hands?"

Seeing that the anger fell silent, someone said a joking speculation.

"That bandit dares to move the devil's transport ship on the Huai River? Even we only dare to ambush with mines. ”

"Moreover, three more motorboats have been vandalized by this gang."

"That bandit is so fierce?"

This joke suddenly made people roll their eyes.

There are indeed a lot of bandits who fight devils in the Anti-Japanese War, but the bandits themselves are poor, and they can only occasionally attack in the face of the small devil troops on the ground, let alone the devil boats on the river.

"You say, is it possible that they did it?"

In the eyes of a group of whites, someone suddenly had a flash of brains.

There was a sudden silence in the crowd.

Everyone knows who they mean by this, allies and enemies.

"Impossible."

The person in charge narrowed his eyes, then shook his head:

"I haven't heard of their traces in this area, and the nearest one is nearly a hundred miles away from here, and they don't have the strength to survive in this vicinity, let alone rob the devil's transport ship."

Kangda County is close to the Huai River, since it was occupied by devils three years ago, the little devils are heavily stationed in this vicinity, including the Saito United, there are nearly 4,000 devils and a large number of puppet troops stationed here, all the surrounding guerrillas have been beaten and fled into the mountains, even they are these intelligence officers, are cautious, for fear of being arrested that day.

The reason why I dare to gather today is also because the devils of Kangda County collectively dispatched to Banqiao Town, otherwise, where would I dare to have such a blatant gathering before? Still so long?

······

Time passes slowly.

More and more people from the devil's navy gathered in Banqiao Town, and as soon as there were more people, the red deer's waist straightened up, and put pressure on the army to investigate the transport ship, as well as the three motorboats that were also stranded.

And the army's horse manure did not back down at all, did not give it at all, not even the transport ships of the navy, and the two sides quarreled all night.

That night.

Wang Gensheng kept hurrying, and the group barely rested, marched rapidly for fifteen hours in a row, and forced the march on foot for more than 110 kilometers under the condition that there were big mules carrying baggage, and arrived at a predetermined rest point, and the next day, during the day, the group repaired here, preparing to rush again at night.

"Hurry up and rest."

After panting vigorously, checking the concealment of the soldiers, and unloading the weight for the big mule and feeding it, Wang Gensheng immediately lay down and began to rest.

Fifteen hours, two hundred miles of travel, still a mountain road, even if it is not loaded, all the soldiers are tired and lie down.

Even the big mules began to gasp for air.

Fortunately, at such a distance, as long as they are not detected, it is safe.

? It's a little confusing, and it's written hastily...
