Towards evening, the main force of the Langya Brigade finally arrived at the outskirts of Tonghua County.
The Zuanshan Leopard, who arrived in Tonghua in advance, immediately came up with the eagle and pheasant.
Xu Rui drank water and asked, "Leopard, what's the situation in Tonghua County now?"
"The situation is very bad. This bastard in Zhensanshan has taken refuge with the Japs." Zhuanshan Bao said bitterly, "He even arrested and killed the working team we sent."
"What?" Yu Bican said angrily, "Why don't you save me?"
Zhuan Shanbao shook his head and said: "The comrades in the working group were already killed when we entered the city. How can we save them?"
"Mom, what a fool." Yu Bican said bitterly, "Captain, we can't spare this bitch like Zhen Sanshan!"
Xu Rui nodded and said coldly: "Zhen Sanshan is secluded from the country and secluded from the people. They must be killed!"
Zhuan Shanbao added: "Captain, when we left the city just now, we also discovered a suspicious situation."
Xu Rui asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Zhuanshan Leopard scratched his head and said, "I can't explain clearly at once. Captain, you should see for yourself."
At that moment, Mountain Leopard led Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng through the woods, quietly climbed to a hill, and then hid behind a large rock with a crack in the middle. The gap from the big rock was just right. Go to another mountain peak on the opposite side of the road. The height of that mountain peak is obviously higher and the view is wider.
Faced with such a dangerous location, Zhensanshan naturally would not ignore it, so a hidden stake was set up.
Although the hidden stakes in Zhensan Mountain are very hidden, for an expert like Xu Rui, they can understand them at a glance. Not only Xu Rui, but also Leng Tiefeng also discovered the hidden stakes at a glance.
Leng Tiefeng asked doubtfully: "Leopard, this is just an ordinary hidden stake. What's the problem?"
"Captain, the problem is not the hidden stakes." Zhuanshan Bao shook his head and said, "The problem is that there is a Japanese sniper lurking halfway up the solitary peak opposite!"
"Sniper?" Leng Tiefeng's expression suddenly condensed upon hearing this.
At the moment, Leng Tiefeng used his eyesight to carefully observe the lonely peak opposite, but after looking for a long time, he found nothing. Then Leng Tiefeng turned around and asked Xu Rui: "Old Xu, have you found the sniper?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said, "No, this sniper is very well concealed."
Although Xu Rui has powerful six senses, it is not omnipotent. For example, if you encounter an opponent who is very good at disguise, it is difficult to detect it. For example, if you encounter an opponent like Machida Ryuji, hearing A Japanese ninja who can conceal his aura may not be able to be detected within a thousand meters, not to mention within ten meters.
If there were really Japanese snipers lurking on the lonely peak opposite, it would be normal for Xu Rui to not find them.
Xu Rui then turned around and asked Zhuanshan Baozi: "Baozi, are you sure there are really Japanese snipers on the lonely peak?"
"Sure!" Zhuan Shanbao nodded and said, "When I left the city just now, I did see a reflection shining on my face from the lonely peak. Unfortunately, when I looked back, I couldn't see it anymore, but I’m sure it’s the reflection of the sun on the scope, so there must be a Japanese sniper hiding on the lonely peak.”
Leng Tiefeng turned to Xu Rui and said, "Old Xu, maybe he is a sniper from the Inoue brigade."
Zhuan Shanbao also nodded and said in agreement: "There are indeed no snipers in the regular army of the Japs."
"It looks like it's really the Inoue Brigade!" Xu Rui said solemnly, "I didn't expect that they really came!"
After a pause, Zuanshan Leopard suddenly let out a low cry and said in a deep voice: "Oh no, if it's really a sniper from Inoue's brigade, wouldn't I have exposed my identity just now when I turned around to look for the reflection of the scope?"
Even if the scope is reflective, it is not too strong and can hardly be felt by ordinary people.
Therefore, it is very abnormal for the mountain leopard to immediately turn around to look for it after discovering the reflection.
"Yes, this matter is difficult!" Leng Tiefeng said with a frown, "Originally, it was troublesome enough for Zhensanshan to take refuge with the little devils. Although these bandits are just a ragtag group, there are still thousands of them. It is still difficult to deal with them. It will take a lot of effort, but now that they have the assistance of the Inoue Brigade, it will become even more troublesome. If they know that our Langya Brigade has arrived in Tonghua County, then this matter will be impossible to solve. "
The Wolf Fang Brigade is indeed very powerful, and the special operations are indeed very powerful.
But there is a prerequisite for this power, which is to take advantage of the enemy's lack of defense!
If the enemy is prepared in advance, the threat of the Langya Brigade will be greatly reduced. If the opponent has the assistance of special forces of a similar level, then the battle will be impossible to fight. After all, the members of the Langya Brigade are also human beings, not It is impossible for one of the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to defeat a hundred of them as rumored by the outside world.
"It's okay, the Japanese sniper hasn't left yet." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Kill this Japanese sniper and prevent him from going back to report the news. Then the Japanese in the city will not know that our Langya Brigade has arrived in Tonghua, and there will be room for redemption! "
Leng Tiefeng immediately drew out his bayonet and said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, I will go over and kill that Japanese sniper."
Zhuanshan Bao then volunteered and said, "Captain, I know the approximate location of the Japanese sniper. I'll go with you."
With Leng Tiefeng's skills and the Mountain Leopard, he was almost certain to deal with a mere sniper, so he just nodded in agreement.
The hunting operation went smoothly. In less than half an hour, Leng Tiefeng, with the assistance of Zhuanshan Leopard, successfully found and killed the Japanese sniper lurking halfway up the opposite solitary peak, and then secretly concealed the bandits on the top of the mountain. The piles were also cleared, and after clearing the hidden piles of the bandits, Zhuanshan Bao stood on the top of the mountain and continued to sign to Xu Rui, indicating that the work was done.
After receiving the message from Zuanshan Leopard, Xu Rui sneaked into the county with the Langya Brigade without hesitation.
More than a hundred Wolf Fang troops formed small groups. Qiao dressed up as nearby mountain people or hunters, entered the city in batches, and then lurked in the streets and alleys.
Long before coming to Tonghua, Xu Rui had already formulated an action plan. He would first enter the city in batches, wait until the dead of night before concentrating, and then carry out a beheading operation against Zhensanshan's headquarters. As long as Zhensanshan and other leaders were killed, , the so-called advancing corps of the three eastern provinces will immediately disperse. Xu Rui is still very clear about this characteristic of the bandits.
If it were just the bandit troops in Sanshan, there would be absolutely no problem, but now that there is an additional Inoue brigade, the situation immediately becomes subtle and infinite variables are added.
…
After night falls, the entire headquarters in Zhensanshan is brightly lit.
Zhensanshan has set up more than a dozen banquets in the hall and courtyard of the headquarters, specifically for the more than one hundred Japanese special forces of the Inoue Brigade to cleanse themselves from the dust. Now that they have decided to join the Japs, the Japanese have become their masters. Sanshan naturally wanted to entertain Chiyoko Inoue and his troops.
Of course, the key reason why Zhensanshan decided to defect to the Japanese and become a traitor was because the price offered by Inoue Chiyoko was very attractive. Inoue Chiyoko conveyed Yamashita Fengfumi's sincerity. As long as Zhensanshan and his troops loyal to the imperial army, And blocked Xu Rui's troops to the west of Tonghua County. From now on, Tonghua will be his independent kingdom in Sanshan!
As a bandit with no integrity, Zhen Sanshan does not care who occupies or rules the three eastern provinces. All he cares about is his own interests. Compared with the Communist Party, which only gave him a small battalion commander position, and there are many rules, Japan The conditions offered by Ren were obviously higher, so Zhen Sanshan joined Little Japan without hesitation.
Zhensanshan wanted to serve wine to the Inoue Brigade to cleanse themselves from the dust, and Chiyoko Inoue did not refuse. When the special operations brigade that was about to stay outside the city was summoned into the city, they came to the banquet. Chiyoko Inoue was very good to the members of the special operations brigade. He even specially asked Mai Asahina to go to the lonely peak outside the city to replace the lurking sniper and come back for a banquet.
As a result, within an hour of leaving, Asahina Mai came back.
Seeing Asahina Mai hurried in, Inoue Chiyoko asked in surprise: "Xiao Mai, why are you back?"
"Master!" Mai Asahina walked up to Inoue Chiyoko and whispered in her ear, "Tachibana-kun lurking on the lonely peak outside the city has been killed!"
"Nani?" Chiyoko Inoue's expression suddenly became serious when she heard this.
The sniper Tachibana Shuichi lurking on the isolated peak outside the city is an excellent sniper of the Inoue Battalion. He is not only outstanding in marksmanship but also very good at lurking. It is impossible for ordinary people to see through his disguise, let alone quietly kill him. Kill it, so this can only be done by Langya, which means that Langya brigade has arrived in Tonghua!
Zhen Sanshan over there has been paying attention to Inoue Chiyoko. When he saw this, he said: "His Majesty Colonel, is there any problem?"
Chiyoko Inoue stood up and said in blunt Chinese: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, according to my intelligence, Xu Rui's Langya Brigade has arrived in Tonghua, and has probably entered the city, so I hope you will assemble immediately. Troops, while imposing martial law on the entire city, prepare for war as soon as possible."
"What did you say? Wolf Fang Brigade?" Zhen Sanshan seemed nonchalant after hearing this.
Tonghua County is located in the mountains, and the news is very limited. Therefore, Zhen Sanshan and his bandits have not heard many stories about Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade, so they did not take the Langya Brigade seriously at all.
At that moment Zhen Sanshan waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty Colonel, how many people are there in a brigade? Don't be afraid!"
After a pause, Zhen Sanshan said domineeringly: "It's okay if they don't come. If they dare to come, I'll let them come in straight and go out lying down. In Tonghua County, not just anyone can come in if they want to, hehe."
Listening to Zhen Sanshan's wild talk, Inoue Chiyoko and Asahina Mai could only roll their eyes.
Even so, Chiyoko Inoue could only pinch her nose and say: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I suggest you gather your troops as soon as possible and impose martial law on the entire city."
