Hamasaki Ayumi and others have already found the car number of the logistics station car that Gao Han and others were riding in. He inquired by phone at various checkpoints around him, and based on the military vehicle seen by the witnesses, he attacked

After the checkpoint, he drove north, and since there was no record of the car passing through the checkpoint in the north, he judged that the attacker should have turned to a fork in the road.

Going north from this checkpoint, there are only two roads leading to the next checkpoint, one leading to Fancheng and the other to Yu County.

After careful analysis, Hamasaki concluded that the attackers should have fled toward Yu County. His analysis was correct. Gao Han and others took this exact route.

Hamasaki Ayumi and others walked and inquired all the way, and finally got some news.

Someone saw an imperial army unit, about ten people, driving a motorcycle and carrying a lot of weapons and ammunition passing by on a country road. There was also a Japanese woman among them. The situation was all correct.

Hamasaki Ayumi and others immediately launched a search around the area, and finally found the stolen military vehicle in the small woods. The number plate on the vehicle was exactly the one that was lost at the logistics station.

This further confirmed his judgment that the attackers first intercepted the vehicle at the military depot on the highway, and then used the car to attack the checkpoint.

Hamasaki Ayumi and others continued to search, and finally someone provided information, saying that they saw the team walking toward the southeast, but it was almost dark at that time, and they did not know where those people went afterwards.

Hamasaki Ayumi and others didn't care so much. They abandoned the car and searched in the southeast direction.

Xiaowangzhuang.

The village chief finally came back after visiting his granddaughter. After questioning for a long time, he found that there was no evidence that Ma Erbao had stolen the cattle. Finally, he let him go and returned the confiscated oceans to him.

Ma Erbao, who had been imprisoned for a day and a night, was so angry that he wanted to kill the villagers. However, he had no time to argue with these people, so he could only be patient and smile with his face. He took out a few oceans and offered them to the villagers.

We bought some food, hired a carriage, and headed towards Peach Blossom Village.

After Wang Shun fainted again, he woke up again a few hours later. Regardless of his physical weakness, he took out some oceans, thanked the kind people who saved him, and asked them to help hire a car.

The carriage went straight to Peach Blossom Mountain at full speed.

After meeting Wang Shun and Ma Erbao and asking about the situation, Gao Han did not blame them and arranged for them to go down to rest and let the doctor heal Wang Shun's injuries.

However, after this incident, Gao Han felt that intelligence work needed to be strengthened, more manpower should be deployed, and some plans should be prepared to avoid such unexpected situations from happening again.

Shoucheng County.

Shao Ming returned to the county seat and went directly to report to Yang Jiong without taking a rest.

"Shao Ming, you're back, how are you? Has the news reached you in time?" Yang Jiong asked eagerly.

Shao Ming came all the way, and his throat was almost smoking. He picked up Yang Jiong's teacup and drank it in one gulp.

He wiped his mouth and said excitedly: "The news has arrived. Before the Japanese attack, the news was passed to them. Who do you think they are?"

Seeing Shao Ming's excitement, Yang Jiong already guessed eight points. He said: "Is this anti-Japanese team in the mountains the same team that attacked the Japanese army?"

Shao Ming nodded vigorously and said happily: "Exactly, the Japanese team on the Pingtai Highway were annihilated by them."

After speaking, he reported in detail what he saw and heard in Taohua Village.

Yang Jiong was very excited after hearing this and was eager to report to John Chen. Shao Ming stopped him and told him another good news.

I heard that Jiang Xiaomei had organized an anti-Japanese armed force, and with the help of Taohua Village, it had grown to more than 40 people, owned more than 30 guns, and even a machine gun. At the same time, she also received the help of instructors sent by Taohua Village for training,

Yang Jiong felt even happier.

Unable to restrain his excitement, he asked Shao Ming to go back and rest first while he went to report to John Chen.

When John Chen heard the news, he was very happy and immediately sent a traffic officer to report to the higher-level party organization.

Things in the world are like this, some are happy and some are sad. Gao Han, Zhang Quan, Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong and others are very happy, but Hamasaki Ayumi and Shimada are extremely depressed at this time.

After Gao Han, Jiang Xiaomei and others attacked the Japanese checkpoint on the road, they made many twists and turns on the way back to Peach Blossom Mountain. Hamasaki Ayumi and Shimada had some clues at the beginning. Later, Gao Han and others marched at night.

situation, no one saw it. Therefore, Hamasaki Ayumi and Shimada also lost the clue to continue tracing.

Hamasaki was in a terrible mood.

The commander of the regiment has already spoken. If the whereabouts of this anti-Japanese armed force cannot be found within three days, he will have no choice but to commit seppuku.

Now that nearly two days have passed, he has once again lost the clues about the attacker. You can imagine how he feels.

Shimada is not much better. Although he is not the supreme commander of this operation, Hamasaki Ayumi is unlucky and his life is not much better. He will not commit suicide by committing seppuku, but he will not be able to escape if he is dismissed and investigated.

Shimada was in a bad mood and was very tired from the march. He was full of anger and didn't know who to vent to. He stared with blood-red eyes and waved his command knife, slashing at a big tree on the side of the road to vent his inner feelings.

anger.

Ayumi Hamasaki is a ruthless character, and he will not give up easily. He knows that it will be difficult for him to find clues about this anti-Japanese armed force if he follows blindly like this.

He called the telegraph operator, and in the name of the 63rd Regiment Headquarters, he sent telegrams to the military police in several surrounding counties, asking them to provide clues about the surrounding anti-Japanese armed forces.

Then they stopped marching and rested where they were, hoping for a miracle.

Soon after, the Pingyue County Gendarmerie sent them a telegram. The telegram said that on the eve of the attack on the Jizheng Highway checkpoint, a squad of puppet troops in Zhangjiazhuang, on the border of Pingle County and Shoucheng County, encountered an underground anti-Japanese attack.

armed attack.

Judging from the time relationship, the military police suggested that the two attacks may be related, and suggested that Hamasaki and others go to the Zhangjiazhuang area to search.

Hamasaki Ayumi and Shimada were very happy to receive the news. This was the last straw that could save them. They immediately ran as a team towards the place where the car was parked.

Zhangjiazhuang.

In the early morning, a thin layer of mist floated over the land of Lunan, like a graceful veil, covering the fields. In the morning mist, Zhangjiazhuang showed a hazy outline, a place of silence and tranquility.
