Chapter 89 Entering the city to explore
When Gu Shoufu heard that Liuye County was defeated by the Eighth Route Army, he was extremely angry. Their troops were originally going to be transferred to Wuhan to fight because they killed many of their troops in the Eighth Route Army in the northwest earlier this year, and the 6th Division had to rest in Taiyuan.
And this year, they lost thousands of troops there. As a permanent division in Japan, they could not stay here, and the base camp would not agree. Therefore, the North China Front Army demanded to kill the Eighth Route Army in the northwest, liberate the Sixth Division, and devote themselves to other battlefields.
In order to kill the Eighth Route Army in one go, they also transferred the 20th Division of Fumisaburo Kawakishima's 20th Division and two divisions to kill the Eighth Route Army in the northwest. They were quite confident about this battle, but now that Liuye Prefecture has been beaten, it means that their logistics supplies must be placed in other county towns and the supply line has been lengthened. This is not a good thing for the troops.
"Hi, general, we don't want to do it either, but the Eighth Route Army over there is developing too fast. Before, we had always wanted reinforcements to go over, but most of our brigade troops were performing combat missions outside and there were no soldiers at all. Maybe the Eighth Route Army knew that we were going to attack them, so they captured Liuye Prefecture in advance!" Tsushii Tokutaro said with his head down.
"Yoxi, it's a little trouble now. Damn Eighth Route Army, they are so arrogant there. This time, we must kill them all. Remember, give orders to our various troops. I don't want to see the living Chinese people there, they are not worthy of living.
Besides, if those Chinese are there, they will still support the Eighth Route Army and kill them all!" Tani Shouo said seriously there.
As one of the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre, he had countless Chinese blood stains on his hands, and he always looked down on the Chinese.
"Hi!" the two brigade commanders immediately lowered their heads and said.
"You continue to assemble troops and wait for the 20th Division to come, we will set off. I see how they can hide this time!" Tani Shouo said to them.
"Hi!" the two of them said, turning around and going out.
After resting at the base for two days, Hu Bin took Xiang Feng and Li Qinwei and began to investigate the information in the county town next to him.
To the south of Liuye County is Zhongyang County, which has a larger population than Liuye County. However, when Hu Bin and his friends arrived there, they found that the people were lifeless and not as angry as Liuye County.
"Brother Bin, what's going on with the people here?" Li Qinwei looked at Hu Bin and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, let's go, let's take a look. This time I hide the weapons. Let's go to the county town to inquire about information and leave separately! Come here to gather in the evening!" Hu Bin said to them.
The three of them nodded, Hu Bin dressed up as a student, Li Qinwei dressed up as a true performer, monk, Xiang Feng dressed up as a hunter, carrying several pheasants and hares in their hands. This was what they got when they were rushing here and was just used as props.
The first person to enter was Hu Bin. When he entered the county town, the Japanese did not investigate. Of course, they just didn't investigate Hu Bin. When they saw that Hu Bin was a poor scholar, they probably didn't have much money, so they let Hu Bin in.
After Hu Bin entered, he found that the people inside were almost silent. The entire county town was like a dead city. Hu Bin could only walk along the road and walked to the front of a hotel. Hu Bin walked in, went upstairs, and sat down at a location along the street.
"What do you want to eat, this guy?" At this time, the waiter arrived at Hu Bin, wiped the table with a rag, and asked at Hu Bin.
"Make me two side dishes. I've walked a long way. I'm hungry. I don't have much money. Just make me some home-cooked things!" Hu Bin said to the waiter with a smile.
"Okay, then let's have a stir-fry side dish and a mutton sauce?" the waiter asked at Hu Bin.
"Okay!" Hu Bin smiled and nodded, then continued to look outside. After a while, the waiter brought food. There were not many people in the whole store, so the food was served soon.
"It's time to eat now, why is there no one?" Hu Bin asked deliberately, looking around.
"Hey~ Nowadays, who dares to come to the county town? The Japanese at the door want to exploit them. Those who do business dare not come here!" the waiter said with a wry smile.
"What are you talking nonsense?" At this time, the shopkeeper standing on the counter scolded.
"You can use it slowly!" The waiter heard the shopkeeper's scolding and left immediately.
Hu Bin saw it and was stunned for a moment, but immediately thought of the whole story. Hu Bin smiled and shook his head, and then started to eat. After a few minutes, several Japanese men walked in.
"Oh, Taijun, Taijun, please, please, please, please!" The waiter saw the Japanese coming, and immediately walked over with a smile, very flattering.
The Japanese raised their heads slightly and walked up to the second floor. The shopkeeper stood at the stairs on the first floor with a smile and took them up. After they got up, the shopkeeper shook his head in a sigh.
When Hu Bin saw it, he didn't want to find out any information here. After finishing the meal, Hu Bin asked the waiter how much it cost. After giving it to him, Hu Bin continued to visit Zhongyang County.
We visited until after 4 pm, Hu Bin bought two books and started leaving the city. After leaving the city, Hu Bin waited at the agreed place. After a while, Xiang Feng and Li Qinwei came over.
"How is it?" Hu Bin asked looking at them.
"Damn, the Japanese are all a virtue. They took over half of my wild game and gave it nothing!" Xiang Feng cursed after sitting down.
"I'm fine, those Japanese are still very polite to me!" Li Qinwei said while sitting next to him.
"Have you found out any information?" Hu Bin asked again.
"No!" Li Qinwei and Xiang Feng shook their heads and said.
"The people inside are all dead, and we dare not ask too much. We are afraid that they will be exposed and trapped. Those Japanese are too hateful. If they hadn't bullied the people like this, would the people be like this?" Xiang Feng started cursing there.
"The same is true for me. Those people dare not talk to us. When they see people they don't know, they hide!" Li Qinwei said from the side.
"Well, damn, this trip is in vain. The Japanese are here. I don't know how many times they have been cleaned. I guess the people are also afraid of being beaten." Hu Bin nodded and said.
"What should I do now?" Li Qinwei looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"Wait, the Japanese's logistics supplies must be placed here. I calculated that if they put them here, they can also pass through the main road. That is, they can send them from the east of Liuye County, or from the small road on our side.
However, it is estimated that the Japanese will not walk on the small roads, and they should go to the east of Liuye County. Although the distance is a little far, the Japanese have cars, so there is no big problem!" Hu Bin said in the distance.
"Brother Bin, do you mean to attack those Japanese transport troops?" Xiang Feng asked Hu Bin.
"Yeah, but it's not easy to fight. When we go back here, it's a small road. Once we rob it, we still have to take the small road. How to transport it back is a problem. The Japanese will definitely chase it. Alas!" Hu Bin said and sighed. He wanted to pay attention to the logistics troops that fought the Japanese, but thinking about the road on the other side of his base, Hu Bin didn't know what to do.
"Brother Bin, can we go east?" Xiang Feng said immediately.
"You are kidding. It's better to go to the east than to go back to the old army!" Hu Bin said immediately.
"No, Brother Bin, you forgot. The mountains on our side extend to the east. We can ambush the Japanese and those places on our own. I know that I have gone there to hunt before!" Xiang Feng said immediately.
"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? We ran here for a few days to inquire about the situation!" Hu Bin heard it, stood up and asked directly, looking at Xiang Feng.
"You didn't say what you wanted to do, how could I know?" Xiang Feng said aggrievedly.
"Okay, are you sure we can go here?" Hu Bin nodded and asked at him.
"Confirm!" Xiang Feng nodded and said.
"Go back!" Hu Bin heard it and turned around immediately, and the two of them hurriedly followed.
After returning to the station, Hu Bin took Xiang Feng and the others to walk east. After walking for 2 days, he arrived at the mountain road leading to Liuye County in the east. The mountain roads here are much better than those on Hu Bin, and they are all big roads.
What made Hu Bin happy was that more than 30 miles of land passed through the dense forest, and there were too many ambushing places. After Hu Bin investigated there for a day, he immediately went back.
Hu Bin took 500 people from the army and started to rush east. When he got there, Hu Bin asked the platoon leaders to familiarize himself with the terrain here, and then asked the soldiers to set up bunkers in key places. Once the Japanese chased him, he would be able to fight back. In addition, there were some soldiers who were in the forest, using trees to build simple houses to avoid the cold.
That day, Hu Bin was reading a book. Now the time for the exam is getting closer and closer, so Hu Bin dared not be careless. If he really wanted to take the exam and didn't read the book himself, he would probably be scolded to death by Hu Changgui.
"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, hurry up, quick, Japanese!" Xiang Feng rushed into Hu Bin's residence and shouted loudly.
When Hu Bin heard this, he stood up and ran out with his weapons. Xiang Feng followed behind him and ran for 5 miles. Hu Bin and his friends hid in the forest on the mountain and saw a team of Japanese marching below.
"Damn it, a corps!" After Hu Bin saw the Japanese military flag, he immediately knew that this was a corps of the Japanese and the 23rd Regiment of the Sixth Division.
Hu Bin was observing there, observing the Japanese troops and weapons they brought. When the Japanese left, Hu Bin also walked back.
