Bandit Camp

Chapter 108 Unexpected
Shin Takahashi has only done two things these days.

The first thing to do was to send a small team to lurk in the Erlang Mountain area, hoping to find out the actual situation of Ye Tufei's department.

The second thing is to check the carrier pigeons in the whole city, because he suspects that Ye Tufei has installed an eyeliner in the city, and the information transmission between this eyeliner and Erlang Mountain is relying on the carrier pigeons.

Yesterday evening, both of these two things achieved their goals, especially the first thing, which exceeded Takahashi's expectations.

After the team leader and the sniper returned to Xuzhou City in shock, they met Gao Qiaoxin with anxiety.The reason for these two people is that only two people came back from a six-member team, and they didn't get any information. This was a huge failure, and they were already mentally prepared to accept punishment.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the report of these two people, Takahashi Xin smiled happily. He shook the hand of the sub-leader with a little excitement, thanked them repeatedly, and praised the two people for their great contributions to the empire.

Nobu Takahashi is not hypocritical, nor is he trying to control people, he is expressing his feelings, because he concluded that the person who killed his four imperial warriors in the blink of an eye was Ye Tufei, and this person was captured by the empire. The sniper hit him with one shot, and his life and death are unknown.

This is an opportunity!
After dismissing the team leader and the snipers, Shin Takahashi immediately recruited Keigo Yamashita.

"Ye Tufei was shot, and his life and death are unknown now. I think this is our best chance to defeat Ye Tufei's troops in one fell swoop!"

Keigo Yamashita felt the same way, and couldn't hide his excitement. He said, "I'm reporting to the head of the division, asking the head of the division to send troops to help. Takahashi-kun, how many troops do you think we need? One brigade or two brigades?"

Nobu Takahashi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to mobilize the troops so much, at most two squadrons are enough!"

Yamashita Keigo said in surprise: "Two squadrons? Takahashi-kun, Ye Tufei and the others have 800 people. We only have two squadrons, are we sure of victory?"

Nobu Takahashi smiled contemptuously, and said, "Is it useful to have a lot of people? I, General Itagaki, defeated the defense line composed of [-] Chinese divisions with half a division in Xinkou. Mr. Yamashita, once these gangsters are gone, Ye Tufei, that is a mob, not to mention two squadrons, even if there is only one squadron, they can win the battle."

Yamashita Jingwu said: "Then what if Ye Tufei is not seriously injured and is safe and sound?"

Gao Qiaoxin smiled wryly: "Then we can only go back the same way, I don't want to fight Ye Tufei to the death, at least it's not the time yet."

Yamashita Jingwu said, "Why did Takahashi-kun say that?"

Gao Qiaoxin sighed, and said: "There is a saying in the ancient Chinese art of war that you can fight a hundred battles by knowing yourself and the enemy. In this regard, we and Ye Tufei are very similar, and we are very familiar with each other. Then we can only compare the right time, the right place, and the right people. Fighting in the Erlang Mountain area, our army does not have an advantage due to the right time and place, including the harmony of people, and if we want to annihilate Ye Tufei, we must use at least two regiments of troops, and the price is too high, and the division commander is absolutely unwilling to agree."

Yamashita Jingwu was thoughtful, and said: "Erlang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is really difficult to eat Ye Tufei in one fell swoop. Takahashi-kun, don't we have any other way?"

Gao Qiaoxin smiled and said: "Other ways? Do we need to think of other ways now? If our sniper's shot killed Ye Tufei, without Ye Tufei, those hundreds of people would be a mob. It's fine for the army to deal with it, and there is no need to risk the lives of the warriors of the empire. If Ye Tufei is only seriously injured, then we will take the opportunity to kill them and catch them by surprise."

Yamashita Jingwu said solemnly: "With Takahashi-kun planning a strategy, Ye Tufei will surely perish this time. I will report to the head of the division immediately!"

Nobu Takahashi slowly closed his eyes and said, "Soldiers are precious!"

Two hours later, the head of the division agreed to Yamashita Keigo's request and dispatched two infantry squadrons for Takahashi to dispatch.

But at this time, it was already midnight, Gao Qiaoxin worried that the movement of the march at this time would be too loud, which would attract the attention of Ye Tufei and the eyeliners in the city, so he decided to wait until tomorrow morning to set off.

When the troops were ready to go in the morning of the next day, Gao Qiaoxin ordered the troops to leave the city from the west gate.

Keigo Yamashita was puzzled, and when asked the reason, Takahashi Shin smiled and said, "In the short [-]-kilometer journey from Xuzhou City to Erlang Mountain, Ye Tufei did not know how many eyeliners he laid out. In half an hour, there will be information over there, so can we still achieve the purpose of the raid?"

Yamashita Keigo understood, and said, "I understand, Takahashi-kun wants to bypass these eyeliners of Ye Tufei."

Gao Qiaoxin asked his subordinates to unfold a map, and drew a line on the map with his fingers: "We will take a turn here, although we have to walk twice the distance, but we can avoid Ye Tufei's eyeliner, and we will arrive at Erlang The time on the mountain should be around two o'clock in the afternoon, which happens to be the most tired and sleepy time of the day in this season, so we can..."

Shin Takahashi didn't finish his sentence, but laughed loudly, revealing ferocity and pride in his laughter.

After Takahashi Shin led the troops to the predetermined location, the plainclothes scouts who had been dispatched in advance to inquire about the news had already been waiting here. Seeing the arrival of the large army, they hurriedly reported to Takahashi Shin, saying that Ye Tufei had died of serious injuries during the night. The news was undeniable. .

Shin Takahashi naturally refused to believe it, and sent plainclothes again.

Not long after, the plainclothes officers sent by the second batch returned one after another, and the content of the reports was exactly the same: "Ye Tufei is confirmed to be dead. A funeral is being held for Ye Tufei on Mount Erlang. The big families with a radius of tens of miles have all sent representatives to express their condolences."

This time, Takahashi Shin had to believe it.

Keigo Yamashita suggested: "Mr. Takahashi, we might as well take the opportunity to make a surprise attack. I think we will definitely achieve satisfactory results."

Gao Qiaoxin shook his head, and said: "At this moment, they must be preparing for battle. Our army is now making a surprise attack, so we may not be able to get a bargain. In addition, Ye Tufei just died, and his brothers must be full of grief and anger. At this time, the fighting spirit is the highest. Our army launches an attack at this time, it is difficult to destroy the enemy army in terms of belief, and it will only increase our casualties."

Yamashita Jingwu said: "Then Takahashi-kun means that we should retreat here?"

Gao Qiaoxin still shook his head: "No! I still don't believe that Ye Tufei died like this. I need more definite news."

Yamashita Keigo immediately beckoned to his subordinates and told him to organize a group of plainclothes scouts.

Nobu Takahashi stopped Keigo Yamashita, and explained: "No matter how many people we send, the news will be the same. Yamashita-san, we need to use another method to test Ye Tufei."

"Another way?" Keigo Yamashita couldn't turn his head around, "Takahashi-kun, what method are you going to use to test it?"

Takahashi's answer was simple and firm: "Attack!"

Takahashi Shin made an offensive test of Ye Tufei's troops. His idea was that if Ye Tufei really died, then his brothers would fight back angrily out of grief and indignation. If Ye Tufei was pretending to be dead, then they would not Will fight head-to-head.At that time, I only need to flexibly adjust my tactics to achieve the expected goal.

"When attacking, don't invest too many troops. One squad is enough. Also, keep a distance from the enemy, use heavy firepower for long-distance attacks, and don't be greedy for merit and organize infantry to charge."

Just when Gao Qiaoxin was actively preparing to launch a fire attack test, Ye Tufei was lying on the bed and was just listening to Yan Xiwen's report on the information collected by all parties.

"So, Takahashi Shin came here after a long detour." At this time, it had been five hours since Ye Tufei woke up. My head is much better than it was in the morning.

Yan Xiwen replied with a smile: "Looking at the direction from the plainclothes return from Japan, Gao Qiaoxin should be gathered in the Guzhuang area at this moment." After a pause, Yan Xiwen asked again: "Will Gao Qiaoxin believe our arrangement?"

Ye Tufei laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not, just give him some ecstasy soup first."

Yan Xiwen also laughed, and said: "When I was in the national army system, I had the nickname of an old fox. Now compared with your brother Ye, I, an old fox, deserve it!"

Ye Tufei said: "Why do I feel that there is something in what you said? Are you cornering the corner and calling me a vixen?"

Yan Xiwen clapped his palms and laughed loudly, and said, "I'm afraid the vixen will bow his head when he sees you. Seriously, brother Ye, I admire the method you added later, ha ha, as long as he dares to If you act rashly, keep him from eating and walking around."

Ye Tufei curled his lips and said, "I still learned that method from your Communist Party!"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Ye Tufei knew that he had slipped his mouth. He didn't know how to round it up for a while, so he could only let Yan Xiwen tilt his head and ask questions: "What do you mean by this? Where did we teach you these crooked things?" ?”

Ye Tufei laughed and said: "Do you care if he is crooked or evil? Just tell me, is it good to beat Little Japan in this way?"

Yan Xiwen said: "Of course it will work!"

Ye Tufei said disdainfully: "Then it's over! As long as it's easy to do, then do it. It doesn't matter whether he is upright or not, as long as he can kill Little Japan, that's a good way!"

Yan Xiwen gave Ye Tufei a thumbs up with a smile, and shouted, "Well said! That's right!"

The tactics these two people talked about dealing with Takahashi Nobu’s crooked ways like a riddle are actually the tactics used by the Communist Party to deal with the small Japanese mopping up, but Ye Tufei slightly improved sparrow warfare, mine warfare, tunnel warfare, etc., and then synthesized Just together.That's why Ye Tufei said "I learned from your Communist Party".

It's just that Yan Xiwen didn't stay in the base area, so he didn't know the informal tactics created by these people in actual combat, but Ye Tufei had read many books about this kind of battle, so he was naturally very handy in applying them.

However, Ye Tufei's careful preparations were in vain, because Takahashi Xin neither retreated, nor took the opportunity to attack on a large scale, but only sent a small team to suppress the garrison at Erlang Mountain Pass with heavy firepower Sexual offense.

This result was completely beyond Ye Tufei's expectations.
