Chapter 39 The Devil's Judgment

The third update is for book friends to collect, thank you very much.

************************************************************************

Wang Fengming nodded and turned around and announced his decision to pull out and carry out an armed struggle to fight the team members who were so happy that they couldn't stop talking. The team members cheered and were all excited that they would not have to bend down with the Japanese in the future and the traitors bent down to fight.

A team member suddenly ran over with a pale face and said to He Dameng no matter what, "I've killed them all, they are really, really cruel."

"What's going on, explain it clearly." He Dameng asked in confusion.

The team members gasped for a few breaths and said, "The Japanese men who worked in the coal mine company were killed, leaving only women and children locked in the basement."

He Dameng frowned, took two steps, stopped again, sighed and said, "Forget it, let's hurry up and change the time first. This kind of thing has happened and we can't do anything."

…………

The sun rose happily, shining on the vast land, awakening the fields, and seemed to be asking with his scorching and dazzling face: What new things are on the earth, is everything intact?

It was a sunny morning, but it didn't show any brightness and freshness to the Japanese who arrived at the scene of the overturn.

The spy captain of Tongshan County moved his short and thick figure at the foot of the mountain. His face was so gloomy that water dripped. His beard was sticking out and he was tilted, and his eyes were flashing with a cold light.

The scene was in chaos. In the broken carriage, blood stains, limbs and debris were everywhere on the railway. The "Imperial Army" were corpses with different deaths. The carriage was full of holes shot through by guns, and the lower part of the front of the car was hissing, and the damaged cylinder was slowly flowing out.

Another Japanese officer accompanied by several soldiers walked along the railway (the railway was blown up and could not be opened to traffic). Seeing that it was Kawaguchi, the military captain of Tongshan Prefecture, at the foot of the mountain, he hurriedly met him.

"What's the situation? Have you found Lord Suzuki?" Kawaguchi was not in a state of confusion at this time and asked bluntly.

Yamashita knew Kawaguchi's concern. If such a big thing happened in Tongshan Prefecture, Major General Suzuki died, both of them were responsible and punished. But if Suzuki was captured by the enemy, it would be a huge matter. It would be too shocking for the empire and the imperial army.

"We have found the body of Lord Suzuki, but further confirmation is needed." Yamashita said with little certainty.

Kawaguchi glanced at Yamashita and said in confusion: "Further confirmation? Take me to see."

Yamashita reached out to make a request gesture, led Kawaguchi to a cloth stretcher next to the railway, and signaled the guards to lift it up.

Kawaguchi looked closely and understood why the mountain could not be confirmed. The body was burned beyond recognition and was bombed by grenades or shells to be incomplete.

Seeing Kawaguchi's confusing gaze, Yamashita hurriedly signaled his subordinates to take a paper bag, handed it to Kawaguchi and explained: "This is a damaged item found from the body. The conclusion drawn from this is obviously not very reliable, so further confirmation is needed."

Kawaguchi nodded and asked a series of questions, "Have the attacker identified? Where did they escape and sent troops to pursue him?"

The mountain hesitated for a moment and said, "A 'Imperial Army' master wrote the word 'four' on the ground before he was killed, and pointed his fingers to the southeast. Based on this, it should be the work of the gc*d's armed 'New Fourth Army', and he fled to the southeast. But—"

"But what?" Kawaguchi was a little dissatisfied with the desire to speak at the bottom of the mountain.

The mountain pondered for a while and said, "But it is not ruled out that the enemy has set up a suspicion array and misled us because we found a large number of footprints in the west."

Kawaguchi stopped talking and clenched his chin and began to ponder. No matter what, he didn't want to easily draw conclusions, which was related to the issue of responsibility. If he made a mistake in judgment, wouldn't it be the last crime?

"Kun Kawaguchi, please give me some advice in which direction to pursue the focus." Yamashita bowed sincerely.

Kawaguchi sneered secretly, no one knew that you had the nickname of a fox at the foot of the mountain. You wanted to pull me up when you needed to be responsible. You should do this kind of culprit.

"I just arrived at the scene. The situation was not as thorough as you did. It was inappropriate to draw conclusions easily." Kawaguchi said to Yamashita with the same sincere attitude: "Yamashita, if you do it boldly, I absolutely believe in you."

Believe me? It would be better to say that you should be a turtle with your head buckle. The mountain was whispering, but the expression on your face had not changed much. He said slowly: "The southeast is the focus, and the west is not spared. The enemy may scatter and flee. Therefore, you must notify the surrounding strongholds, pay close attention to abnormal situations, and report to the headquarters at any time so that we can adjust our deployment."

"Yo Xi!" Kawaguchi nodded in admiration and said seriously: "Yamashita's idea is very correct, so let's follow this! You know, if such a big thing happens, if the case cannot be solved within a time limit, and the murderer is captured, what is waiting for us!"

The foot of the mountain sighed softly, waved his hand, and signaled the soldiers to cover the bodies on the stretcher. His eyes swept over the bodies being discharged beside the railway subgrade, and his mood was extremely heavy. More than 300 wounded soldiers of the "Imperial Army", including several intermediate officers and an imperial general, suffered losses of no less than a small battle. Even if the case was solved and some murderers were caught, he would inevitably be punished. But now, it is important to calm down and focus on the serious matters.

To be honest, the mountain was meticulous enough and thought about things comprehensively. Gao Yunhuan's design of guise and misleading did not achieve a very effective effect, but it also won some time for the retreat of the advancing team.

……………………

The tiny clouds blew up in the light blue and clear sky, and slowly changed at every moment.

After excitement and joy, what exists in Yang Tianfeng's heart is worry and anxiety. How to bring the troops home safely became an indelible thought surrounding his mind.

Although the Japanese army's defense was weak in the occupied areas at this time and could only ensure the occupation of points and lines along the railway and large and medium-sized cities, it spanned two counties and was nearly 120 to thirty miles, which was still full of dangers for this army of more than 300 people.

Although the prisoners of the Imperial Army in the Hanzhuang stronghold were tied up and locked up, no one was in charge of it. The abnormal situation in the stronghold would sooner or later be discovered by the Japanese. Will the Japanese connect these with major events on the railway?

In addition, can the fake traces Gao Yunhuan made at the scene lead the Japanese's attention to the west? Where is the route he looked for when he returned?

Yang Tianfeng rode on the horse, his mind was rotating rapidly. Despite all kinds of unknown difficulties, it should be much better than the original planned situation. There were no large number of national military prisoners of war, and there were not many wounded and sick people to take care of. If that were the case, the action would be slower and the goal would be larger.

The troops walked for more than 30 miles in one go and turned onto a trail. In order to prevent the Japanese from chasing them by cars, although the trail was difficult to walk and the speed of several mules and carriages slowed down, it was necessary to do so for safety and avoid the Japanese strongholds ahead.

At this time, in the vast rural areas, the power of the Japanese was still very weak, and all kinds of miscellaneous armed forces were quite happy. But Yang Tianfeng was not afraid of them.

Perhaps it was like returning home. Although the soldiers were busy for the middle of the night, they did not look too tired. Their steps were rapid and the march was quiet. Only low rustling footsteps could be heard, and occasionally one or two coughs could be heard.

After noon, the troops arrived at a place called Dongwa Village. Gao Yunhuan's ranger, who was the leader, had already controlled the village and strictly blocked the news. The village was placed in plain clothes and sent off guards. People in the village were not allowed to leave the village, and outsiders were detained. When the troops entered the village, every family was closed and there was no sound.

Yang Tianfeng majesticly intimidated the trembling village chief. The village chief nodded and bowed in fear, then took a caller to prepare food, vegetables and meat, and asked a few people to help, and prepared meals for the group of Japanese and puppet troops in the ancestral hall.

Fortunately, although this group of Japanese and puppet troops did not allow villagers to go out of their houses, they did not kill, set fire, and rape, but just eat and sleep.

In order to deal with the evening marches and possible battles, the soldiers of the army all ate and drank enough to go to bed except for the posts. From the outside, the village seemed as peaceful as usual.

Others can rest, but Yang Tianfeng couldn't relax. He looked at the map, pondered carefully, and calculated. Relatively speaking, marching at night is safer, because the Japanese devils rarely set off after sunset, and darkness is the best cover for the troops.

After rushing more than 70 miles overnight, I entered Xiaoxian's boundary. The situation there should be much more relaxed than Tongshan County, which had just had a big incident.

When Yang Tianfeng thought of this, he leaned back and scratched his scalp. He really hoped that the sky would get darker soon. He hid here because the march was too conspicuous during the day, and secondly because of the physical strength of the soldiers. The last consideration was that it was close to the mountainous area. In case of adverse circumstances, the troops could also abandon supplies and retreat into the mountains lightly, so as not to suffer too much damage.

"Sir, please disturb me." Seeing that Yang Tianfeng had no intention of rest, Song Qingpu came over and pointed to the "Boya Tactics Essence" in his hand and said: "The beginning of this article talks about guerrilla warfare "only one of the tactics, no matter how you specialize in guerrilla, you can win." Later, you raised guerrilla warfare to a strategic height and discussed it in detail. Is this a bit inconsistent?"

Yang Tianfeng blinked and smiled, "I don't read carefully. I want to criticize you for a few words, haha, but I'm very happy if you can ask questions."

"It's not that I'm not careful, it's because I haven't finished reading the book, right?" Guo Songlin yawned, got up and carried a gun, and went out to patrol.
Chapter completed!
