Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 405: The Battle of Mianshan Begins

"Thank God, you're finally back."

The moment Wu Gensheng saw He Songling's figure solidify in front of him, he let out a long sigh.

Although he had no intention of bringing He Songling with him on this trip, he originally planned to gather a group of people to kill the Japanese and help the Tang Clan.

But what people fear most is giving hope and then taking it away.

If there had not been the expectation that "He Songling would come to help", Wu Gensheng and Quan Xing and the others would certainly not say anything. Those who decided to come were already prepared to die.

But since He Songling had already come and declared his intention to participate, but then ran away halfway, the blow to morale was absolutely devastating.

Especially Quan Xing's gang of thieves, even if they were able to kill the devils, they were mostly thieves themselves, and their cooperation and discipline were extremely low. After waiting for a day or two, seeing that the scheduled time was approaching, He Songling still did not return, and many people began to quarrel and curse.

Even the sect leader Wu Gensheng couldn't suppress it.

Fortunately, He Songling came back.

"If you don't come, my group will have to disband." Wu Gensheng looked at a group of "fellow disciples" in the distance, with lingering fear in his eyes.

What he was afraid of was not that these people would not obey his orders, but that the plan would fail.

"Disperse? That's not that easy." He Songling sneered, "Where is this? A battlefield! If they come here, they will join the war. We won't force them to come here, but as long as they come, they are soldiers on the battlefield. How can they be deserters on the battlefield?"

He Songling's voice was not loud, but it was sent far away by Qi. The group of people who were a hundred or two hundred meters away could hear it clearly, as if He Songling was speaking right in their ears.

"If you're a deserter, you'll be shot!"

He Songling simply walked over with Wu Gensheng, looked at the group of Quan Xing in front of him and said, "I don't care what you did before, as long as you are here, you can't escape. Even if you escape to the end of the world, I will catch you and shoot you. Do you believe it?"

It has to be said that He Songling's work over the years was not in vain, and his deterrent power is indeed strong. His words were very harsh, but the whole group, even Liang Ting, did not dare to raise his head to refute.

"It's time, right? Let's go!"

At this moment, it seemed as if the head of Quan Xing Sect was not Wu Gensheng, but He Songling. It really fulfilled his words back then, "When the guns and cannons sound, all the strange people in the country will listen to me."

Mianshan Mountains.

"Squeak!"

The sound of car brakes was heard, and a military truck slowly stopped on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain.

"Everyone, this is it. The Mianshan Mountains are complex and densely forested. Cars can't go up." A military officer wearing a navy blue military uniform and round-framed glasses jumped out from the co-pilot seat. He looked sinister and smiling. He was shouting at the back of the truck. After he finished speaking, he walked forward and wanted to lift the curtain of the truck's back to let the people inside out. But when he reached out, he found that there was no one inside.

The officer was subconsciously startled, and then he heard a voice behind him: "That's enough. Thank you, Commander Fang, for escorting us personally. It saved us a lot of effort."

The officer named Fang's eyelids twitched and he felt a chill all over his body. He thought that this group of people were truly professional killers. Even he, a veteran soldier who had fought in many battles, had no power to resist them.

He turned around and saw ten people standing in front of him. They were the ten people from the Tang Sect who had accepted the mission to assassinate the ninja leader. The one who had just spoken was naturally the leader, Tang Jiaren.

"You're welcome. Not to mention that Mr. He is here to save our country, I admire your determination to save the country and kill the enemy." Officer Fang bowed, "Everyone, I wish you a successful start."

"Thank you very much. Please also thank Commander Chu for us. If it weren't for his maps and intelligence this time, we would have had to work much harder. Commander Chu's maps are truly eye-opening." Tang Jiaren also bowed in return.

He was not being polite. Mianshan, also known as Jieshan, is the place where Jie Zitui, a famous minister of Duke Wen of Jin, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, lived in seclusion with his mother and was burned. The mountain is steep and has many cliffs. The total area is 294.75 square kilometers.

At that time, Duke Wen of Jin led an army of tens of thousands to search the mountains and seas but could not find Jie Zitui. He set fire to the mountains for three days and three nights, burning Jie Zitui and his mother to death. This was how the Cold Food Festival was created.

There is such a large mountainous area that tens of thousands of troops could not find their way, and it is located in Jinzhong, Shanxi. They are from Sichuan and are unfamiliar with the place. Once they get here, even if they have all the means, they will inevitably have to spend a lot of effort.

But after arriving in Shanxi by train, He Songling directly arranged for a main force regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to pick them up and took them to the regiment headquarters. The regiment commander personally met with them and gave them detailed intelligence. The commander's map work was extremely professional, and all kinds of data were extremely accurate, which really saved a lot of effort.

You have to know that they are assassins. They have to think about failure before they think about victory. Although most people didn't think about going back alive this time, they still have to check out the surrounding environment first, know which door to enter and exit, where to retreat and how many routes there are, and if the enemy escapes, where to chase and where to intercept, all these have to be studied clearly.

It can be said that I owe them a great favor.

"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment. Our regimental commander is just like that, striving for perfection. He often says that a professional soldier should have the qualities of a professional soldier." The officer surnamed Fang laughed loudly, seeming to be happier than hearing himself being praised. "The regimental commander said that if we can succeed, he will treat you all to a banquet when we meet in the future!"

Needless to say, the person He Songling found to help the Tang Clan was naturally the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. In the original novel, Boss Zhao was alone and could only contact some guerrillas and county brigades of our army to reluctantly provide support.

But He Songling now has such a powerful influence that even if he wants to find Yan Laoxi, let alone Chu Yunfei, he will have to wait politely.

Of course, the main reason was that our army was in difficult conditions and was mainly engaged in operations behind enemy lines, so trucks and troop carriers were in short supply. In contrast, the Jinsui Army, which was the main force on the surface, could provide more vehicles to help.

He Songling sought out Chu Yunfei because, of course, he was impressed by his precise drawing work.

Of course, as the head of a regiment, Chu Yunfei could not personally follow the car to send a few assassins over, but he also took it seriously enough, because the person who came was the chief of staff Fang Ligong, the third most important person in the entire 358th Regiment.

"Thank you both for your kindness. Goodbye!"

Tang Jiaren didn't say much nonsense. After bowing, he led his men into the mountains. Fang Ligong looked at the backs of the ten people from the Tang Sect, saluted slowly, and murmured, "What the commander said is right. If the whole country's military and civilians have this spirit, there is no need to worry about the Japanese invaders!"
