Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2620: Following the captain means learning more!

"Captain, we found some Japanese soldiers on the east side of the mine. We don't know the exact number of them, but they look relaxed."

Duanwu had already brought more than 300 former Chunjianghao guerrilla members, as well as Ma Huyuan's men, including some recovered wounded soldiers, and some soldiers recruited from Phoenix City to a place five miles west of the mine.

As for the mine, Duanwu was not very familiar with it, so he sent Ma Hu and his men to investigate.

As a result, before Ma Hu and his men reached the mine, they saw some Japanese soldiers lighting lamps and eating melon seeds on the south side of the mine, three or four miles away. They didn't know what they were doing.

Ma Shanpao laughed and said, "Are the Japs trying to play the empty city trick?"

Duanwu sneered and said, "You are overly praising the Japanese. Do they know what the Empty City Strategy is? It seems that our intentions have indeed been discovered by the Japanese. However, this Japanese soldier does not seem to be very smart and does not believe that we are coming."

Long Qianyan asked: "Captain, what should we do? Should we still fight in this mine?"

Duanwu thought for a moment and said, "We can fight, but we must know how many enemies there are before deciding how to fight."

At this point, Duanwu said to Ma Hu, "Send a few people to keep an eye on the direction of the mine, and you personally lead people to investigate the south side of the mine to see how many devils there are there, and then come back to report."

"Yes!"

Ma Hu took the order and immediately sent six people to the direction of the mine, while he took two people and quietly moved to the south side of the mine.

Duanwu ordered the others to rest where they were and wait for news.

Long Qianyan came over and asked, "Captain, what should we do if there are a lot of Japanese? Will we still fight in the mine?"

Duanwu smiled and said: "In a war, remember to be single-minded. The target is dead, but the people are alive. Moreover, this time we took the initiative to attack. Although our goal is to destroy the mine and rescue the miners, we can't act recklessly.

If this is a trap, we would be foolish to jump into it.

In addition to the mine, we have many other targets to choose from. If the Japanese transferred all the nearby Japanese and puppet troops to the mine, then other strongholds would be empty. If we take advantage of the situation and attack, the spoils we get may not be less than if we take over the mine.

What's more, apart from the soldiers in the mine, Kaoshantun is closer to us, haha!"

At this moment, Long Qianyan suddenly realized and thought: Following the captain means learning more!

At this time, Duanwu turned his eyes and looked at Ma Shanpao beside him: "If it is confirmed that the Japanese puppet troops are here, then each of you will take 30 people to the nearby town and the Japanese stronghold. Do you understand?"

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao nodded at the same time.

But at this time, Duanwu said angrily: "What do you understand?"

Long Qianyan said: "Let's attack the enemy's strongholds and towns and force them to return for support."

Ma Shanpao said: "Take this opportunity to kill more of their traitors and deter other traitors who have surrendered to the devils!"

"・・・"

Duanwu was speechless because he knew that the two people didn’t understand at all.

He helplessly grabbed the two men's shoulders and pulled them closer to him, then lowered his voice and said, "What you said is not the purpose. I will tell you now, your combat goal: go and bring back all the valuables from the devils and traitors. Otherwise, why would I equip each of you with thirty people? Obviously the devils and traitors are all here, so why would I let each of you go on a trip with thirty or so fully armed soldiers?"

"So this is what the captain meant?"

Long Qianyan slowly woke up from his shock, while Ma Shanpao slapped his forehead and said, "Captain always cleans the battlefield so carefully, why didn't I think of you?"

However, at this time, Duanwu said: "It is not too much to be ruthless to the devils and puppet troops. Just do it freely."

"Yes!"

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao were both very happy at this time and were waiting for Ma Hu to come back and report.

At this time, they even hoped that Ma Hu could bring a large number of Japanese and puppet troops who were lying in ambush on the south side of the mine.

And as expected, they were not disappointed. Ma Hu came back and reported that the south side was full of Japanese and puppet troops, at least two thousand people.

Duanwu calculated in his mind, then smiled at Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao and said, "You can act now."

"Yes!"

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao were more excited than if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they hurriedly took their people away. Ma Shanpao took them to the nearest Fuyang Town, while Long Qianyan went to the relatively far Gangyao Town.

An hour later, Ma Shanpao and his men arrived first.

He was very alert and sent two people to check the city gate first. It turned out that the gate was ajar and there was not even a puppet soldier guarding the gate.

When the scout came back to report, Ma Shanpao was immediately shocked and said to the others: "The captain is really accurate. The Japanese and the traitors have all gone to the mines, leaving behind an empty city."

At this point, Ma Shanpao straightened his back and said, "Let's go in and take a look. The captain said to take away all the valuables."

"Yes, take away all the valuables."

Some soldiers agreed, but at this moment Ma Shanpao suddenly stopped.

The soldier next to him asked in confusion: "Captain, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Shanpao asked back: "Where can I find money?"

A soldier thought for a moment and said, "There must be money in the devil's office."

Another said: "The traitor's family is rich."

"And the shops run by the devils have money!"

"Captain, I heard there's money in the bank run by the Japs!"

···········

Ma Shanpao's eyes lit up: "Okay, what you said is right. We will look for these places after entering the city. Let's go!"

"go!"

The crowd was in high spirits and rushed into Fuyang Town and began a large-scale search.

First, after entering the city, they went straight to the Japanese office area.

Although they didn't know where the Japanese's office area was, they could find out everything by knocking on the door of any fellow villager.

The people in the city also hated those devils to the core. When they learned that Ma Shanpao and others were from the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, they directly pointed them in the direction.

But the fellow villagers didn’t dare to go, nor did they dare to lead the way.

Ma Shanpao also understood that the villagers were afraid of retaliation from the Japanese.

However, he roughly knew where the Japanese devils' office was. It was the original location of the town government, and there was also a traitor maintenance organization there.

Ma Shanpao and his men quickly arrived at the center of the town and saw the two-story small white building.

There were two traitors in black guarding outside the small white building. When they heard someone running, they thought it was the Japanese returning and shouted "Imperial Army".

However, what awaited them were angry bullets.

Damn, calling the Imperial Army so kind? The Imperial Army is your father? Since you recognize the thief as your father, I will send you to see your father.

But at the same time, Ma Shanpao also saw the maintenance association.

The door of the maintenance association was closed, but there seemed to be movement in the yard.

Ma Shanpao immediately assigned a dozen people to attack the Maintenance Association.

The soldiers kicked the door open and started to shoot. Several traitors in black were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could react.

The soldiers then continued to rush into the maintenance association.

At this time, Ma Shanpao kicked open the gate of the town government compound and rushed in with his men.

Ma Shanpao shouted: "All the devils and traitors, not a single one will be spared!"
