Chapter 430 The commander was tricked
After carefully recalling the several contacts with Kawai Jiro today, the convoy manager finally showed a look of realization: "I thought that the guards who followed Taijun today were all strange faces. When talking to Taijun, there was always someone following him, which was very unnatural."
"If Taijun is threatened, then his strange behavior today can be explained."
"Sir, Taijun must have been taken away by the person who threatened him. What should we do now?"
The captain of the cavalry squadron cursed angrily: "Of course it's a pursuit, otherwise do you think our cavalry squadron is here to play?"
"Anyone among you can ride a horse and take us to the place where Kawai Jiro is separated from you as quickly as possible. We must catch up with them, rescue Kawai Jun, intercept them and threaten Kawai Jun to transport the supplies from Taiyuan City, and catch the culprit!"
"I can ride a horse, I'll go with you!" The convoy manager also began to get anxious.
Kawai Jiro is his parents for food and clothing. His appreciation and promotion are all due to his appreciation and promotion. If something happened to Kawai Jiro, his current status will definitely disappear.
The lieutenant general and commander of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan were also alarmed by the fact that Jiro Kawai was robbed.
Behind Jiro Kawai was a big chaebol in China. Because of his relationship, he was given a benefit of 100,000 oceans in less than a year after he came to Taiyuan, and he also received the support of the chaebol behind Kawai.
If something happened to Kawai Jiro, the chaebol standing behind him would definitely not support him anymore, and the dividends of more than 100,000 oceans will be gone every year.
After confirming that Kawai Jiro was robbed out of the city, the commander sent cavalry out of the city to pursue him while ordering the troops and strongholds outside the city to strengthen their vigilance and search for his traces together.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a telephone soldier hurried to the commander and reported: "Sir, the cavalry squadron found the enemy's large truck for transporting materials through Kawai Jiro, but it was empty. Kawai Jiro and the enemy who robbed him were missing. The cavalry squadron was splitting troops around and searching!"
The commander was furious when he heard this and was very upset about the order: "This enemy is too cunning. I ordered the cavalry squadron to find them for me and wipe them out, but I must ensure the safety of Kawai Jiro!"
"In addition, the city defense forces immediately dispatched two squadrons to reinforce the cavalry squadrons in cars to search for the enemies who robbed Kawai Jiro."
"Although the cavalry squadrons are very mobile, they are not suitable for entering the mountain. If two infantry squadrons reinforce them, the enemy will definitely not be able to escape from their palms."
"Hayi..." The telephone soldier quickly took the order.
This search gave people a feeling of being indescribable. The commander waited until six o'clock in the afternoon to receive the latest search progress of the cavalry squadron.
"Sir, we have found Kawai Kan, but it was not found by the cavalry squadron and the two infantry squadrons!" The telephone soldiers brought a piece of news that surprised everyone.
"Is it the garrison of the nearby strongholds found?" The commander thought for a while.
The telephone soldier quickly shook his head: "It was Kawai Kwani who found the stronghold by himself. The one who called Kawai Kwani himself just now. He just said: The Chinese who took him as hostage and the grain transport team separated and transported the supplies from the cart to the mule and horse, and then walked into the mountain with a small path."
"The cart pulled the stones and moved forward in the opposite direction, confusing us."
"He was led by two Chinese people in another direction. After walking for more than ten kilometers, he threw him on the side of the road and ran away. Kawai Jun walked for another three hours according to his memory before finding a stronghold in our army, and then called..."
The commander felt that he was being fooled, and his anger became even stronger on his face. He cursed without hesitation: "Bageyalu, so many of us were actually fooled by more than a dozen Chinese people. This is simply a shame for the imperial army. I must tear this enemy into pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to vent my hatred."
The Chief of Staff also felt that these Chinese people were too arrogant and that their actions were completely provoking the military headquarters. It would be too embarrassing to let this enemy slip under everyone's noses, so he quickly asked for instructions: "Sir, since the enemy no longer has the places where the cavalry squadrons and the two infantry squadrons searched during the day, I immediately ordered them to finish the operation, march quickly toward the enemy's true retreat direction, and continue to search for them!"
After all, the commander of tens of thousands of troops was the commander of the army. Although his face was very angry, he did not lose his mind because of this little loss. He vetoed it without hesitation: "How to find it? According to what Kan Kawai said, the Chinese who took him as a hostage had been in the mountains for four or five hours."
"It will take them an hour or two to kill from the current search ground to outside the mountain. When they kill, the enemy has already entered the mountain for dozens of kilometers and ran out of sight. How can we find them?"
"The cavalry squadron and two infantry squadrons end their search and return to Taiyuan."
"The order for the Special High School to find out the identities of these Chinese people. As long as they are still in Shanxi, we can avenge this hatred sooner or later!"
The staff officer of the cavalry squadron came back less than half an hour after leaving. His expression was obviously more serious than when he left. It seemed that the contact was not going well just now.
He walked quickly to the commander: "Chief, the cavalry squadron and two infantry squadrons have finished their operations as ordered, completed their assembly, and are on the way back to Taiyuan."
"But nearly forty cavalry squadrons were missing, and the two infantry squadrons also lost more than thirty men?"
"Nani?" The good mood that Kawai Jiro was saved safely suddenly disappeared.
For the entire Shanxi garrison, this loss is minimal and is not worth the army commander's fuss.
But the problem is that all these soldiers were missing outside Taiyuan City, and they must be inseparable from the Chinese who robbed Kawai Jiro.
They entered Taiyuan quietly, attacked the Japanese merchants in Taiyuan defended by the Imperial Army, and then used the merchant as hostages, leaving Taiyuan with a large amount of contraband under the eyes of the Imperial Army. Then they set up a suspicion array, not only making the Imperial Army chased them, but also taking the opportunity to eat dozens of elite Imperial Army soldiers...
The army commander was very powerful. After a little analysis, he came up with the general action plan of the reconnaissance team in Taiyuan City, which was almost no different from their actual actions.
But for the army commander, every action in this place was a slap in the face, so he became angry because of the losses of dozens of subordinates.
But it's too late to say anything now. The reconnaissance team has entered the mountain. The only thing that can be remedy now is to find out the specific identity of the team and find an opportunity to take revenge.
After taking two deep breaths, he ordered with a murderous intent: "Tell the Special High School that the specific identities of these Chinese people must be found within two days."
At this moment, the Chief of Staff came over: "General, the drug dealer has just sent someone to contact Beizhi. They have a deal outside the city tonight. I hope we can send troops to cooperate and let the Chinese lose their wife and their troops!"
The commander was so angry that he had no place to vent. The Chief of Staff's report directly asked him to find his target for venting and quickly ordered: "This transaction came too timely. During the day, we suffered such a huge loss in the hands of the Chinese. We said to get everything back tonight."
"Did the drug dealer say how large the transaction size is and how many people the other party participate in the transaction?"
"This time, I must never let the Chinese who buy medicine slip away. I not only have to get all the funds they have to buy medicines, but also kill them all!"
When he said the last sentence, the commander became murderous.
The Chief of Staff quickly reported: "The drugs traded by both parties are worth 500,000 yuan. In order to stabilize each other, let them relax their vigilance, and successfully reach this transaction, the location and trading time of the transaction will be determined by the Chinese. There cannot be more than twenty people involved in the transaction!"
"This is such a large scale!" The commander was shocked by the Chief of Staff's report, and then his eyes began to shine.
"Chief of Staff, immediately draw an infantry brigade from the city to cooperate with the operation, and strengthen a cavalry squadron."
"The Special High School also needs to arrange for people to cooperate with the action, lurk near the trading location in advance, and keep an eye on the Chinese who traded with us and the medicines they bought. I want them to pay for their wife and soldiers."
Tengjia Village is located at the junction of plains and hills. After leaving the village, marched northeast for two kilometers, it was rolling hills. Continue to advance for seven or eight kilometers and enter Shanxi.
The southwest direction is full of plains, and five or six kilometers away is Taiyuan City.
The trading point agreed by Zhou Cheng and the Japanese was here, but he did not participate in the transaction personally, but handed over the task to Wang Tieshan and two infantry squads in the first platoon of the reconnaissance company. He led three assault teams and sniper teams to ambush the Japanese drug dealers on the only way to enter and exit Taiyuan.
The firepower team and the remaining reconnaissance squad were ambushed on a hill nearly five kilometers away from the trading point. In front of them were two 120mm caliber mortars that had just been seized from the arsenal, and twenty shells were neatly placed next to the two mortars.
Starting at 10 o'clock in the evening, some strange faces began to appear around Tengjia Village.
Some were intelligence personnel sent by the Special High School, and some were reconnaissance troops sent by the Japanese army to ensure that the entire transaction was within their field of vision.
Wang Tieshan knew about their existence, but did not alert the enemy.
As long as there is no ambushing Japanese troops nearby, he will be confident that with the cooperation of the reconnaissance team, he will quickly leave the trading point with the medicine and enter the mountains.
At that time, the Japanese will bring an infantry corps over and will not be able to find themselves.
At one o'clock in the morning, the drug dealer appeared at the entrance of the village with the medicine.
The Japanese who participated in the escort were equipped with submachine guns that were rarely seen in the Japanese army, and also brought two light machine guns, which were well-equipped, which shows how strong the drug dealer is.
Wang Tieshan appeared at the entrance of the village at the same time with two investigation squads.
In order to facilitate marching, only half of the soldiers were equipped with 38 large covers and half were equipped with short guns. Although they did not look as good as the Japanese submachine guns, their momentum was not inferior to the Japanese who were mixed. At a glance, you could tell that they were a group of veterans on the battlefield who had been stained with blood on their hands!
As soon as the two sides met, the trading point became tense and they started trading directly.
The Japanese counted the ocean and gold brought by the National Salvation Army, and the Investigation Team counted the medicine brought by the Japanese, and then tied it to the mules, horses and horses brought by it.
In less than half an hour, both sides left the village entrance at the same time and disappeared into the dark night.
At this moment, the real battle has just begun.
The intelligence officers and scouts lurking around the UHC took action quickly, with some following the mule and horse team, and some contacting troops a few kilometers away...
Soon, a huge encirclement formed around Wang Tieshan.
As long as the encirclement is closed in time, no matter how powerful Wang Tieshan is, he will not be able to escape the pursuit and interception of a Japanese infantry brigade.
Zhou Cheng is also ready for battle.
When the drug dealer passed by him with the medicine, although the investigation team did not move, they found out the equipment of all the Japanese around the drug dealer.
The Japanese have a submachine gun and have an advantage in numbers. If they raid at close range, they will definitely have the advantage.
Zhou Cheng immediately adjusted his deployment and set up three anti-aircraft machine guns brought out of the arsenal by the reconnaissance team.
Chapter completed!
