Chapter 109: Beheading the hunchback! (8)
"This is a difficult problem." Lu Shan nodded, "Do you have anyone under your command who is familiar with the Hunchback Gold Mine?"
"There are some, but it's far worse than Brother Dong. Brother Dong won't get lost even if he closes his eyes. After the Japanese came, Brother Dong entered the Bombing Waist several times. No one is more familiar with the situation there!" Wang Yong said.
"So, I have to find Dong Shengtang?" Lu Shan said.
"Mr. Lu, can I ask, what are you going to the Huowei Gold Mine for?" Wang Yong said, "The Japanese there hated Brother Dong to the core. If it weren't for the familiarity with the terrain and many acquaintances there, Brother Dong would have been arrested by the Japanese long ago!"
"The hunchback gold mine is still in the hands of the Japanese. Sooner or later, it will be a disaster. We are like finding someone familiar with the hunchback gold mine to take us in and investigate and prepare for attacking the hunchback gold mine!" Lu Shan said.
"Mr. Lu is going to attack the Huowei Gold Mine!" Wang Yong was shocked and suddenly remembered that Ma Xianzhang said in the letter that Mr. Lu is of great origin, and he could get it from above?
"Yes, the gold mine belongs to us Chinese, how can the Japanese take over it?" Lu Shan said.
"That's great, but the terrain of the Huowei place is almost in danger, and after the Japanese occupied it, they repaired a lot of fortifications in the mine. If there were no heavy weapons, it would be difficult to invade the gold mine!" Wang Yong said.
"That's why we have to look for Dong Shengtang to see if we can find a place where the Japanese have weaker defense. In this way, casualties can be reduced a lot if we attack!" Lu Shan said.
"That's true. No one is more familiar with the Huofang Gold Mine than Brother Dong. Unfortunately, Brother Dong's life and death are unknown now. I have sent a lot of people to inquire about the news outside, but there is no result yet!"
"Where did Dong Shengtang encounter hijacking from his opponent?" Lu Shan asked.
"The specific location of the Dongmajiagou area east of Tulongshan Town is still unclear. Anyway, the news was lost in that area!" Wang Yong said.
"Tulongshan Town, that's in Huanan County. It's not far from Tuohaozi Town!" Lu Shan said after a moment in his mind.
"Yes, Tulongshan Town used to be Huanan Town, and Huanan Town used to be Tuohaozi Town!" Wang Yong said.
"Are there any garrisons in Huanan Town?" Lu Shan asked.
"It used to be, but now it's gone. It's now the Japanese. There are only some policemen in the town to maintain order, and the county magistrate Huanan is working in Jiamusi!"
"So, Huanan is in a situation where no one cares about it?" Lu Shan said in surprise.
"No one cares. The Japanese dare not garrison the troops in Huanan County. They just occupied the Huowei Gold Mine. When they were suppressing bandits, they stationed a battalion and a militia, which was similar to the Japanese and puppet troops. However, the bandit suppression failed one after another, and Li Zx wanted to fight with the Japanese. This transferred the battalion and the militia were left behind!
The Japanese took the opportunity to fight out of the hunchback, and the militia was defeated and the murdered fled everywhere. Brother Dong was the battalion commander of the militia at that time. Now it is probably the highest official that the Huanan militia has not been captured by the Japanese!"
"Didn't you say that Dong Shengtang doesn't like being restrained and is used to being free?"
"That's now, it was different before. He still wanted to lead the militia to work with the Japanese. However, the militia was too poor, had no weapons, had insufficient training, and was no match for the Japanese at all!" Wang Yong said.
"Did General Li Du not replenish firearms and ammunition for the militia?"
"I've called it, why didn't I call it? But Li Zx also has his own difficulties. He has to take care of his regular army first. After all, the Japanese are aggressive, and Li Zx is also in a very difficult situation!" Wang Yong said.
"Brother Dong brought a group of people and the Japanese. Without any support, the fewer and fewer people and guns were fighting. Gradually, he almost became single-handedly with the Japanese. In Huanan, no one didn't know Dong Shengtang, everyone called him Brother Sheng, who was a loud man!" Wang Yong said of Dong Shengtang, and he was full of surprise.
"Dong Shengtang should have subordinates, right?"
"Yes, I guess they all hid after something happened to Brother Dong." Wang Yong said.
"Can you find them?" Lu Shan asked.
"This..." Wang Yong showed a hint of disgrace.
"Commander Wang, if you can trust me, as long as Dong Shengtang has not fallen into the hands of the Japanese, I can rescue him!" Lu Shan said.
"real?"
"Of course it's true, but the premise is that others are still near us. If I'm taken to somewhere, I can't guarantee it!" Lu Shan said.
"They must have a purpose in arresting people. It would be fine if they just kidnap the ransom, but if it was because Brother Dong broke their affairs, it would be hard to say!" Wang Yong said.
"I would rather believe the latter. Since Dong Shengtang has such a great reputation, ordinary bandits do not have the courage to tie his tickets. And what you said is that the Russians kidnapped him, which is even more strange. It should be the second possibility. Russians transport gold from a hunchback. This is an important clue. Following this clue, you can definitely find Dong Shengtang's whereabouts!" Lu Shan said.
"Yes, but we don't know much about this group of Russians. Maybe Brother Dong's subordinates know a lot of news!" Wang Yong said.
"So we have to find one or two people who are familiar with the situation before we can investigate!" Lu Shan said.
"It's not that I don't believe Mr. Lu, but this matter is of great importance. I have to be careful. In this way, Mr. Lu is here now and I will give you a reply tomorrow morning?" Wang Yong said cautiously after thinking about it.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's stay first, but we still have some people taking care of our equipment at a small dock by the river. Please send someone to pick you up!" Lu Shan nodded.
"Okay, no problem!" Wang Yong nodded.
After arranging a room, Lu Shan moved in.
"How is it, Mr. Lu, when will the person arrive?" Wu Zi asked.
"When something happens, we may have to save people first!" Lu Shan said, "Wang Yong and the others don't trust us now. I guess he should communicate with Ma Xianzhang and give us an answer tomorrow morning!"
"Why, they don't believe us?" Yang Shangwu said dissatisfied.
"This is human nature. We come to the door rashly and don't show our identity. Of course, they don't believe us. Even if they show our identity, they may not believe us!" Lu Shan smiled, "Sleep down tonight and will have a result tomorrow morning!"
"Mr. Lu, this is a must-have to guard against others, so we should be careful!" Wu Zi reminded.
"Be careful, there is no big mistake. You are right and make people secretly wary!" Lu Shan nodded.
After about forty minutes, the people who stayed at the dock also entered the militia's headquarters and were arranged to live with Lu Shan and others!
"Mr. Lu, Secretary Feng's telegram!" Dexin took out a stack of paper and handed it to Lu Shan.
"Oh?" Lu Shan received the telegram and looked at it one by one under the light, most of which were some situation reports and the progress of the case.
Soon, a piece of news aroused Lu Shan’s idea!
These are two confessions, one of which is Yulia's and the other is whose pseudonym Peter.
Both of them have a similar confession, that is, the guns and ammunition they purchased are also sold on the black market in addition to supplying themselves.
What’s very strange is that their customers are fixed, they buy as much as they have, and they use all the money to pay the bill!
It is not rare to be able to use gold to buy weapons and ammunition, but it is doubtful to continue to pay with gold!
Could it be that the person who bought weapons and ammunition was the Japanese who camel-backed gold mine?
Lu Shan learned about Ma Xianzhang that several times of attacking the Huoweizi Gold Mine, and found that the Japanese were increasing their strength, but did he find that Kanto had much support for them, so he wondered if they used planes to transport supplies and guns and ammunition to them.
Originally, Lu Shan thought so, but now seeing this news, Lu Shan felt that his previous judgment might be wrong.
The Japanese actually opened up such a magical supply line, using the White Bandits as intermediaries to him, smuggled weapons and ammunition from the Yilan Arsenal to provide him with supplies, and then they paid the White Bandits gold as reward!
In this way, such a very secret supply line was realized, mined the Chinese gold, bought Chinese bullets, and then attacked the Chinese!
I have to say that this is a perfect plan!
Since the Japanese can use gold to buy weapons and ammunition, they must have a way to transport the gold out of the Tuoxiao Town. In contact with what Wang Yong said, could Dong Shengtang discover the arms deal between the Japanese and the White Bandits?
It is still the Japanese who cooperated with the White Bandits to transport gold. Isn’t Japan afraid that gold will be swallowed up by the White Bandits?
It seems that to solve this mystery, you have to find Dong Shengtang to know.
Peter confessed that he was responsible for the purchase of weapons and the transaction with Ma Bokai, and Yulia was only the nominal leader, and the transaction he had purchased was responsible for the transaction of weapons.
The person responsible for handling weapons transactions was a Belarusian colonel named Jiuganov. He was a close confidant of Rozaevsky and his power was second only to Rozaevs's basics.
Peter also confessed to the facial features of Jiuganov, mainly because there is a black mole on the tip of his left eyebrow, three red hairs on it, and a beard. He usually likes to wear a cowhide military coat, leather boots, etc., and likes to linger in the romantic places, etc.
This person has been active in Huanan County and is used as a cover for the owner of a logging factory. First, the logging factory is in the mountains and forests, with little contact with people, and is very secretive. Second, he can turn his subordinates into loggers, which is also easy to manage.
Peter knew only these. Peter couldn't explain which logging farm it was, and Yulia became even more unfamiliar with it. The situation she got was secretly heard by herself.
