Hei Qi had no choice but to find branches to disguise the weapons and ammunition, and then led people to ambush on the road, preparing to rob a few horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts. [Read full text]
Although this kind of behavior is no different from that of a hair-cutting thief, it doesn't matter.
There was no way, Xu Rui gave Hei Qi a fatal order, and if he couldn't fulfill it, he would have to engage in military law.
After waiting for a while, a carriage came slowly on the highway.
Hei Qi gave the order, and a dozen remnant soldiers who were ambushing on the roadside swarmed forward to stop the carriage.
"Taijun, we are good people, we are good people." The chariot driver was startled, begging for mercy repeatedly, and reining in the horse hard, but the result was that the green horse was so painful that it ran wild. He came, dragged the carriage off the road, and rushed into the paddy fields on the roadside. Not long after, it overturned in a ditch.
Seeing this sudden scene, Hei Qi and a dozen remaining soldiers looked at each other in shock.
Old Mother Diurei, what's going on? I originally wanted to grab a carriage, but ended up overturning the carriage.
It wasn't until the groaning sound came from the ditch that Hei Qi woke up from a dream and hurried over to save people.
When Hei Qi and the others rushed to the carriage, they found that the carriage handle looked vaguely familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere.
But the handlebar style recognized Hei Qi at a glance and shouted: "Brother Qi"
This sound of Brother Qi also reminded Hei Qi that this handlebar style dare was Chang Suo, a servant of Xu Mansion. They were stationed at Xu Mansion in Baoxing two days ago, and Chang Suo once boiled bath water for them.
"Longsuo" Hei Qi said in surprise, "Why is it you?"
"Brother Qi, what are you doing?" Changsuo's tense expression relaxed instantly. He rubbed his painful waist just now and complained, "Why are you acting like a hair-cutting thief?"
"Don't mention it, Brother Qi can't do anything about it." Hei Qi said, "Chang Suo, where are you going?"
"It's like this. The Japs asked our master to go to the provincial capital for a meeting. I'll drive him there." Only when Chang was locked up did he think of his master. He seemed to have been silent since the car rolled over just now. Nothing could have happened. That's it. Changsuo immediately turned around and got into the carriage with a groan to see Xu Liufu.
Xu Liufu, on the other hand, held his breath and didn't know where he was knocking.
After being locked for a while, Xu Liufu finally woke up after stroking his chest and beating his back.
Hei Qi was so embarrassed that he apologized: "Old man, I didn't know it was you. I'm really sorry."
"It turns out he is the military commander of the 79th Division. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter." Xu Liufu waved his hand and said, "Commander, are you encountering any difficulties?"
Hei Qi waved his hand: "It's nothing."
Xu Liufu then said: "Although I couldn't speak just now, my ears can still hear. I heard what the military master told Chang Suo just now. As long as I can help, the military master can speak."
Hei Qi was a little moved, and immediately said: "If possible, I hope the old man can lend us the carriage."
Xu Liufu looked at the carriage that was overturned in the ditch and found that the axle was broken and it would not be repaired for a while. He immediately waved his hands and said: "This carriage is broken, but there are still oxen, carts and donkeys in the old man's house." If the military master needs a car, he can pick it up at any time. But, is one car enough?"
Hei Qi was overjoyed and said, "It would be great if there were more ox carts or donkey carts."
Xu Liufu then said: "Then please ask the military master to give me the number. I will go home and prepare now."
As Xu Rui expected, although Xu Liufu was timid, he was still unwilling to be a traitor in his heart. When he got the opportunity, he was still willing to do something, firstly to gain peace of mind, and secondly, to think about what might happen in the future. He also secretly helped the Japanese to fight against the Japanese in order to drive away the Japanese, and no one cared about being the chairman of the maintenance committee.
Hei Qi said: "If there are two, oh no, three bullock carts, it should be enough."
Of course, three ox carts were not enough, but Heiqi thought that a few more trips would be enough.
Xu Liufu was old and mature, and he saw Hei Qi's dilemma at a glance. He smiled and said: "Let's do this. I'll prepare five oxcarts. I don't know if they will be enough. If not, I can go to several nearby villages." I don’t dare to borrow more, and there will definitely be no problem in getting five more trucks together.”
"That's enough, that's enough." Hei Qi was overjoyed and responded repeatedly, "Five cars are enough, that's enough."
If there are really five oxcarts, this batch of weapons and ammunition can be transported to the fork of the river more than ten miles away in four trips at most, and then they can directly take the Yangtze River waterway to Nantong. It is still only the morning, and there is still enough time, but Asking Xu Liufu to borrow five more oxcarts would take too much time and make too much noise. What if the Japanese were alerted
At that moment, Hei Qi said continuously: "Old man, five ox carts are enough."
"Okay." Xu Liufu said, "You can follow me back to set up the car."
Changsuo next to him reminded: "Master, you are not going to the provincial capital for a meeting."
"We'll leave the Japanese matter later," Xu Liufu said, "The Japanese matter is more important."
"The kindness of the old man has been remembered by our brothers in the ** camp." After Hei Qi finished, he stood up at attention and saluted Xu Liufu with a standard military salute, "Salute"
The dozen or so remaining soldiers stood at attention and saluted.
Dividing line
An hour later, Hei Qi led a dozen remaining soldiers and drove five ox carts back to the weapons and ammunition cache.
Although the weapons and ammunition were hidden less than three kilometers away from Wuxi, fortunately it was rainy and snowy today, and the woods on the outskirts of Wuxi were dense, so the Japanese military police stationed in Wuxi did not discover the woods outside the city. There is an army hidden inside.
The bullock cart is available and loading begins immediately.
The first three runs went smoothly and there were no accidents on the way.
But on the fourth trip, I encountered an accident. Because the load of the ox cart was too heavy, the road was no longer passable, so we had to take the highway. The first ox cart had just turned onto the road, and it was slowly coming from the direction of Wuxi. Two trucks, with plaster flags on the front hoods of the trucks, transport vehicles for the Japanese.
At this time it was too late to avoid it because the ox cart was too slow.
After looking at the Japanese military uniform on his body, Hei Qi immediately calmed down.
The few remnant soldiers following the first bullock cart had already appeared, and they could no longer hide. Hei Qi immediately winked at the thirty or so remnant soldiers who had not had time to turn onto the road. The thirty or so remnant soldiers immediately Scattered out, and then quickly entered an ambush position using the cover of the woods and dirty grass on the roadside.
It's now time, and Hei Qi has no other choice.
We can only kill the Japanese truck with lightning speed.
If you can seize the Japanese truck, you can transport the remaining weapons and ammunition together with the personnel, and the speed will be much faster than the slow ox cart.
However, Black Seven really picked the wrong opponent this time.
The Japs in these two trucks were not ordinary Japs, but the headquarters special service team dispatched by Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Central China Front who had just resigned. Although this special service team was not a real special force, its equipment was similar to that of ordinary Japanese soldiers. There is no difference, but the combat skills of the soldiers are much higher.
Matsui Iwane sent a special service team to Wuxi to pick up Shikahara Junsi.
Kawara Junsi had a right side of his heart, so he survived Xu Rui's gunshot. He was rushed to Suzhou for treatment, and then transferred to Wuxi. After his injury stabilized, Matsui Iwane sent a special service team over, planning to Take Lu Yuan Junsi back to Hongkou in Shanghai because the medical conditions there are better.
"Stop." Kawaguchi Heiji, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the first truck, suddenly raised his right hand. The driver sitting on the left of Kawaguchi Heiji stepped on the brakes without hesitation and stopped the car.
The other two trucks following behind also stopped.
The driver turned back to look at Kawaguchi Heiji and asked: "Captain, what's wrong?"
"The people in front have a problem." Kawaguchi Heiji pointed at the friendly troops on the cubic highway and said in a deep voice.
The driver took a look and said in confusion: "Captain, they should be the food collection teams sent by the gendarmerie to various villages and towns. They don't seem to have any problems."
"No." Kawaguchi Heiji said, "If it were a grain collection team, they should still be collecting grains from door to door in every township and town. How could they come back so soon?"
The driver said: "Maybe this trip will be smoother."
"Mitsui-san, you don't understand China very well." Kawaguchi Heiji shook his head and said, "The poverty of the Chinese people is beyond your imagination. They value food more than their lives. Therefore, it is impossible for the Chinese to hand over the food obediently. Yes, it’s already good if the grain collection team can complete half of the quota, but look at them, the cart is actually full.”
Mitsui said: "In this case, this team is really suspicious, otherwise we will form a battle formation."
"No, they all ran away as soon as we formed the battle formation." Kawaguchi Heiji shook his head and said, "Order each combat unit to hang up all the armor plates, and then pretend that nothing happened and continue to move forward. If the gang is really Chinese pretending to be Chinese, it is enough to prove that they are not an ordinary squadron, so they must be eliminated."
"Hai." Mitsui paused heavily, then knocked on the window between the carriage and the driver's cab, and passed on the order. The Japanese in the carriage immediately hung up the five-meter-thick armor plates that were originally under their feet to the cars on both sides. On the wall, in the blink of an eye, three ordinary trucks turned into three simple armored trucks.
With the armor plates in place, Kawaguchi Heiji raised his hand and pressed forward with his white-gloved right hand, shouting: "Open the way!"
Driver Mitsui immediately shifted gears, then lightly stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, and the truck's engine roared. When he released the clutch with his left foot, the truck began to move forward again. When he saw the car in front of him moving, the two cars behind him started to move forward. The trucks followed suit and drove slowly towards Hei Qi and the others.
