Rise from the sword

Chapter 334 Who is it?What did you do again?
The southern region is rich, economically developed, and rich in products, especially the river bank, which is the main grain-producing area.

After the devils occupied this place, they naturally stationed many troops.

"The red deer are converging towards the Huaihe River? The target is in the direction of Kangda County?"

The head of a ghost division in the southern region got the news immediately.

Suddenly, the devil was full of doubts.

"What do they want?"

"What is this for?"

Several reconnaissance planes, intelligence agencies, and even those marines who are not as good as children were sent out, and the poor strength of the red deer on land was all sent out.

What is this doing?
Military action?

There are no enemies there, and it is his territory.

But after all, he is a division commander, even if he is a second-line division commander, it is a bit of a brain to be able to get into this position. After thinking for a while, recalling the news that there were fake transport ships on the Yangtze River, he thought of A possibility:
"Could it be..."

"Is the gold actually transported from the Huaihe River? The Yangtze River is just a smoke bomb?"

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

"Otherwise, what else can make the navy spend so much trouble?"

Thinking of this, the division commander's brows opened wide, with a distinct smile on his face.

This is good.

If the government can really steal the navy's gold, that would be a great thing.

In this way, when they brought it back, the red deer couldn't even fart.

"Come on."

The lieutenant general called a staff officer: "Order the garrison around Kangda County to move to Kangda County, and then notify the special high-tech department to pay close attention to the movements of the red deer."

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head and said yes.

······
Banqiao Town.

A small town on the Huaihe River.

Close to the Huaihe River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, this small town has a large population, and a dirt road passes by, so the little devils stationed a squadron here, with more than 100 devils.

On this day, the little devils patrolled along the road as usual. A dozen or so devils walked along the road aggressively. Pedestrians and ordinary people around them avoided them when they saw them.

"Twelve little devils, one team, one has a crooked handle, and the rest are [-] big caps, no grenades."

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 little devil cage tactics failed, he has rarely seen more than a dozen devils go out for a walk like ducks. After the ambush, even around Yangquan, or even near Shijiazhuang, the devils didn't dare to go out.

As he said that, he was about to rush up with people.

With the formation of these twelve devils and their swaggering duck steps, their submachine gun firepower can wipe out all of them with one face-to-face encounter.

"No."

Zhang Dabiao refused without hesitation.

Their purpose was to attract the attention of the devils and cover Wang Gensheng's transport team, but the little devils were not fools. They took the initiative to do something, which might make the devils aware of 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 not reconciled.

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

"Do not."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes were shining with a dangerous light: "We can't take the initiative to do it, let the little devil accidentally find us, and we can't wipe them out..."

"This is easy..."

The monk immediately agreed.

Afterwards, he took a dozen soldiers to touch the devil. During this period, a soldier was accidentally discovered by the devil when he was fetching water beside the Gong Road. When the devil saw someone holding a gun, he immediately screamed and raised his gun to chase Came over, chased for a while, and saw a dozen independent regiment soldiers armed with submachine guns rushing out from the woods. With ferocious firepower, they beat the dozen devils to pieces in one encounter, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

These devils are not stupid, they will not be loyal to the locust here, so they immediately put oil on the soles of their feet and run away.

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

"Walk···"

When the monk brought people back, Zhang Dabiao looked at his watch, then opened the map, and said:
"There are a lot of devils stationed around here. There is the Saito Regiment north of Kangda County, and a brigade stationed in Kangda County. After the devils know that we are doing something, 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 distract the little devil's attention."

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

······
"An unknown enemy was found in Banqiao Town?"

This news was reported to the head of the devil division immediately.

"Correct."

The staff officer in charge of the report said:
"The exact number is unknown, but this group uses submachine guns, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. A single face-to-face loss of more than half of the patrolling unit should be an elite regular army."

"Their direction should be east."

"Banqiao Town."

The head of the devil division walked to the map, looked at it, and then his eyes lit up.

He found that Banqiao Town is only more than 30 miles away from Kangda County, and it is a small port with the main road of Huaihe River passing through.The naval reconnaissance plane and the Marine Corps are all rushing to Banqiao Town.

If the navy red deer gold is really not robbed, then it is very likely that this group did it.

"Order."

The head of the Guizi division thought for a moment, and ordered:

"The Saito Alliance dispatched two brigades, centered on Banqiao Town, and spread the search. Once this group is found, they will be eliminated immediately, and try to capture as many as possible to inquire about the situation."

"Secondly, send a report to the garrisons in the counties, raise your vigilance, block all intersections, especially the north, and prohibit any caravans from passing."

Although the group of people he got was heading east, the head of the devil division naturally understood the principle of attacking west and east, and would not search all of them foolishly eastward.

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head and said yes.

"General."

As soon as the staff officer left, another staff officer came in:
"The garrison in Banqiao Town sent a telegram that they found a stranded transport ship on the river bank, suspected to be a navy transport ship, and found the bodies of naval personnel on the river bank."

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

"Yo Xi."

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

confirmed.

Navy gold was actually transported via the Huai River, but it was looted by the Chinese.

Sure enough, it is a stupid red deer.

Then, I'll help you get it back. If that's the case, you don't have to give it to that idiot Shinozuka Yoshio.

"In addition, three stranded army-type motorboats were found on the beach in the south of Banqiao Town. These motorboats have been destroyed."

The situation reported by the staff officer later made the division commander frown:
"Our launch?"

"Sure?"

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

"Hi, confirmed."

The staff officer's tone was very affirmative.

"what happened?"

The head of the division suddenly fell into doubt, his face flickered.

Unknown army launch.

submachine gun...

Elite Soldiers...
Could it be...
The division commander recalled a few things.

······
Compared with the army's horse dung, the red deer's land intelligence strength is obviously insufficient, but there are many waterways in the south, and the seaplane rushing up the Huaihe River also stopped near Banqiao Town, and then confirmed that the transport ship was hijacked, but at this time Transport ships have been taken over by horse manure.

Naturally, horse dung would not give the red deer a chance. The Devil Navy who got off the seaplane could only stare blankly, and then report to his superiors, scolding the horse dung for being stupid, and reporting what he saw and heard.

"Three stranded Army launches?"

When Lieutenant General Tanimoto heard the news, his pupils shrank immediately.

Could it be that it was really the hands of horse dung?
Which desperate young officer did it?
"The Saito United team is heading towards Banqiao Town, what are they searching for along the way?"

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

Or, is it the government's hand?
at the same time.

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

"According to the news, the devil's navy's reconnaissance plane has already set off and is flying towards this side along the Huaihe River."

"Their Marines are off too."

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

"The Ghost Saito Regiment stationed nearby also sent two brigades to approach Kangda County, and they seemed to be searching for something, and the team stretched very wide along the way."

"According to the information from the villagers in Banqiao Town, it seems that a gun battle took place on the Huaihe River a few hours ago. Someone found the dead body of the devil on the river bank. There was also a transport ship stranded downstream, and three other ships were destroyed in the south of the village. Devils launch, but there are devils all around, so you can’t get close.”

"Also, there was also a gun battle in the south of Banqiao Town. It seems that a few devils were also killed. A lot of devils were also found there, but they haven't been confirmed, so they can't get close."

One piece of news was put together, making everyone even more confused.

It seems that something major has happened, otherwise the devils would not have made such a big move, sea and land gathered together, but what happened?
"In the end what happened?"

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

The Devil Saito United approached this side, but at a slow speed, as if they were searching for someone.A suspected devil's transport ship ran aground, and three devil motorboats were stranded or even destroyed.

"It should be that someone robbed the cargo on the devil's transport ship, and it was important cargo, otherwise the devil would not have made such a big move."

He figured it out.

"But what kind of cargo is it?"

"Could it be gold? There was news from above that the devil has a batch of gold that will be shipped back to the devil's homeland. Let us investigate."

"Didn't it mean to transport from the Yangtze River?"

Everyone was chattering for a while.

At this time, it is still unclear what happened on the other side of the Yangtze River. After all, the time is too short to communicate with each other.

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

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

"Then, can we take this opportunity to inquire about some devils?"

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

Everyone began to think in unison.

For a while, the room fell into silence.

"Mountain bandit?"

"Could it be their hands?"

Seeing that the anger fell into silence, someone made a joking speculation.

"That bandit dared to move the devil's transport ship on the Huaihe River? Even we dared to ambush with mines."

"Moreover, this group of devils also destroyed three motorboats."

"That bandit is so fierce?"

People immediately rolled their eyes at this joke.

There were indeed many bandits who fought against devils during the Anti-Japanese War, but the bandits themselves were weak, and they could only occasionally attack small devil troops on the ground, let alone devil boats on the river.

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

In a group of blank eyes, suddenly someone's brain flashed.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Everyone knows who they are referring to, both allies and enemies.

"impossible."

The person in charge narrowed his eyes, then shook his head:
"I haven't heard of them around here, and the closest one is nearly a hundred miles away, and they don't have the strength to survive here, let alone rob the Devil's transport ship."

Kangda County is close to the Huaihe River. Since it was occupied by the devils three years ago, the little devils have stationed heavily in the surrounding area. Including the Saito unit, there are nearly [-] devils and a large number of puppet troops stationed here. All the guerrillas around Those who were beaten fled into the mountains. Even the intelligence personnel like them were cautious, for fear of being caught that day.

The reason why they dared to gather today was also because the devils in Kangda County had collectively dispatched to Banqiao Town. Otherwise, how could they have dared to gather so blatantly before?so long?

······
Time passed slowly.

More and more people from the Devils Navy gathered in Banqiao Town. As soon as there were more people, Red Deer's waist straightened up, putting pressure on the army to investigate the transport ship and the three motorboats that were also stranded.

And the army's horse manure didn't retreat at all, and didn't give it at all, and even didn't show it to the navy's transport ship. The two sides quarreled all night.

That night.

Wang Gensheng kept on walking, and the group barely rested. They marched for 110 hours in a row. With big mules carrying luggage, they marched forcibly over [-] kilometers on foot and arrived at a scheduled rest point. The next day, the group marched Finish here and prepare to drive again at night.

"Take the time to rest."

Panting heavily, after checking the concealment of the soldiers, unloading the big mule and feeding it, Wang Gensheng immediately lay down and began to rest.

Fifteen hours and a journey of two hundred miles, it was still a mountain road. Even without carrying heavy loads, all the soldiers were exhausted and lay down.

Even the big mule began to pant.

Fortunately, at such a long distance, as long as they are not found, they are safe.

　Some confusion, hastily written...
