The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 342 Dramatic Performance (seeking monthly ticket)

And Eijiro Takeda, head of the Japanese army's secret service agency in Taiyuan City, believed that it was time to close the net for the big fish of the [-] regiment.

Right now, the imperial army troops are suddenly counterattacking, and they will use the most resolute attitude to end this vicious incident of large-scale looting of the imperial army-occupied area.

For this reason, the Japanese Army Command decided to focus on eliminating the Eighth Route Army and bandits, and incidentally attack the military targets of the National Army and the Jinsui Army.

The Japanese want to use this sudden violent, cruel, rapid, and resolute counterattack.

Completely eliminate the bandits, Jinsui Army, Central Army, and Eighth Route Army's looting trend in the occupied areas, which has brought about the impact on the security of the Japanese occupied areas.

In addition, with powerful means of force and military power, the absolute authority of the Japanese army in the occupied areas was re-established.

This is also the perfect beginning of the next phase of the military operation set by Shinozuka Yoshio - "Iron Rolling Sweep and Beheading Operation".

At this juncture, the forces of all parties, including the attention of the people, are all in Northwest Shanxi.

Such a regiment was published in the Republic of China Daily, and was even commended by Boss Jiang himself, and was called the [-]st Regiment of the National Army's role model in the resistance against Japan in the enemy's rear.

If the Japanese suddenly surrendered.

In Takeda Eijiro's view, it can definitely cause a sensation.

Add another fire to the success of the Great Japanese Empire's counterattack.

"That's why, we're going to save the [-] regiment until today."

Takeda Eijiro, who led the negotiation team and rushed to the gate area of ​​Taiyuan City ahead of schedule, was waiting for the arrival of the [-]st Regiment.

The adjutant standing beside Takeda Eijiro was worried about another matter.

"Your Excellency, Director, it's just that the fish you raise seems to be a bit disobedient."

"Regarding the surrender of the [-]st Regiment, it was organized into the North China Security Army.

Your Excellency the head of the agency even persuaded his superiors to agree to Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment, to give them the establishment of a group army for the [-]st Regiment.

This Lu Duoxian, you even personally agreed to confer the rank of lieutenant general and serve as the commander of the Fourth Army of the North China Security Army adapted from [-]. "

"Even so, regarding the matter of leading the [-]st Regiment to Taiyuan City to surrender, Lu Duoxian is still making excuses to procrastinate. Is this person harboring ambiguity?"

The scheming Takeda Eijiro laughed and said indifferently:
"The so-called Fourth Army is just a false title, isn't there a small number of commanders in the Royal Association Army?

The Royal Association Army of more than 1 people can even produce more than 20 commanders.

The rank of lieutenant general is nothing more than a show.

In fact, the [-]st Regiment is still the same as before, and it hasn't changed much. They can still be recruited to do things for our Great Japanese Empire, so why not do it? "

"As for Lu Duoxian, you can rest assured that I know this person's character well. The hesitation in front of me is just that Lu Duoxian wants to sit on the ground and raise the price."

"By the way, how many people did Lu Duoxian and the others come this time?"

"More than 1000 people." Said the devil's adjutant.

Takeda Eijiro nodded, "Only one-third of his [-]st Regiment's strength.

It seems that after many negotiations in the past few days, this Lu Duoxian has already moved his mind and is ready to lead his team to surrender to our Great Japanese Empire.

But it seems that he still wants to sit on the ground and raise the price. This time he only brought one-third of the troops. If we can't give him a satisfactory answer, the remaining two-thirds of the troops will be his chips. "

"Your Excellency, Director, this person is greedy and hateful."

Takeda Eijiro shook his head and said: "Don't think so, you want the Chinese to do things for us, but in turn beat the Chinese, how can you coax them if you don't give them some sweets?"

"From this point of view, we should take a long-term perspective."

"Hi!"

…………

On the other side, Lu Duoxian, the real master in the mouth of Takeda Eijiro.

He was leading more than a thousand troops from the [-]st Regiment to walk on the mountain path.

This Lu Duoxian is nearly forty this year. At a glance, the biggest feature of the whole person is his richness. His big round face almost covers his ears. Seen from the front, he looks like a bald ball.

In this day and age, especially among soldiers, it is not common to be as rich as him.

Of course, if the front is tight and some generals are tight behind, it's a different matter.

At this moment, the mellow Lu Duoxian was walking on his fat legs, while still complaining, "Old Liu, do you think I can't feel sorry? Our more than 1000 brothers, when we arrive in Taiyuan City, turn around and vote You little devil, you've become the Imperial Army."

Liu Cai, the deputy head of the [-]st Regiment, said with a smile on his face: "Tuan Zuo, you are wrong if you think so. The subordinates have never seen it before. Who else is smarter than you, Tuan Zuo."

"Take our 3000st Regiment as an example. You were defeated in the Battle of Xinkou, not to mention your ability to preserve the strength of our entire regiment. In more than three years, you have grown the strength of the entire regiment to more than [-] people."

"That's it. Now, whoever hears of your name, Tuan Zuo, in all the lands, won't immediately give a thumbs up?"

"As for the defection of the Japanese to become the Imperial Association Army this time, the original meaning of the little devil was to fool us, let us pass, and then become the Imperial Association Army.

But the regiment leader, you have found an excuse to delay it three or two times, hey, that's good, the little devil directly agreed to give our [-]st regiment a group army establishment.

After this time, Tuan Zuo, you will be the commander in the future, and you will still be the rank of lieutenant general. This is a matter of glory.

I heard that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, was nothing more than a lieutenant general. You can even sit on an equal footing with him. "

After hearing this, Lu Duoxian felt a lot better, and squinted his eyes and asked, "So, we are not at a loss?"

Liu Caidao: "Student, we are definitely not at a loss. Besides, have you forgotten that there is only one-third of the strength of our [-]st regiment in front of you, and there are two-thirds of the brothers behind us. The little devil wants to recruit Our entire army, if we don’t spend some money, what can we do?”

Lu Duoqian laughed and said: "This is called sitting on the ground and raising the price. Back then, the little devil left us the [-] regiment. What the hell, the little devil thought I didn't know what they were thinking? Didn't they just want to use us to contain the Eighth Route Army?" !"

"This little devil wants to use us, but I have to let me take advantage of it, so I don't care about him. In the past few years, hurry up and develop. Whether it is equipment or supplies, if there is not enough, just take care of him The little devil will do it."

"Not long ago, the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale sabotage operation, and now there is a trend of looting the devil-occupied areas. These days, the little devil is having a headache!"

"At this juncture, that old devil from Wutian wants to recruit our [-]st regiment. If I don't raise the price again, I'll be a fool."

Liu Cai hurriedly nodded in agreement, boasted a few words of flattery, and then tried to ask:

"Tuan Zuo, then our [-] group, is it true that we voted for him, the little devil?"

Lu Duoxian sighed pretentiously, and said: "Old Liu, there are many things in this life that we don't want to do as we want.

The old devil Takeda will not fool us in this regard.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army's sabotage operation not long ago really frightened us, and the little devil must have been frightened enough.

Next, the little devil will definitely make a big move in the enemy's rear. If we don't know how to practice, we will carry it with the little devil.

Don't look at the flirting with us in front of the devil, when the time comes, he will clean us up by the way, and we won't have a place to cry.

It's better to take advantage of the current situation and raise the price, get more benefits and then choose to surrender. "

"As for us being the Imperial Association Army, we are in Cao Ying and our hearts are in Han, and we can save the country with these ideas, we just know it in our hearts.

Besides, we have never let go of dealing with the Eighth Route Army.

When the Generalissimo and the others lead their troops to fight over, the little devil can hardly hold on anymore. At this time, if we raise the banner high and act as an internal response, are we afraid that we will not have the credit for it? "

This Lu Duoxian is worthy of being an old fox, he played a good hand of cards.

It's all-round and exquisite, and it can make a living wherever it goes.

The little devil in front of him is very powerful, so he took advantage and voted for the little devil.

In the future, when the national army becomes more powerful, they will rebel again and "return to the party state" with one hand.

Liu Cai, the deputy head of the regiment, admired the whole body.

Or someone is the head of the team!

"A group seat is brilliant, but a humble position is far inferior."

Ha ha ha ha--

Two old bastards were talking, and the messenger came to report.

"Report to the regiment, the rear guard encountered a group of bandits, and has already sent people to block them."

"Bandits?" Lu Duoxian wondered.

"What are the bandits doing here?"

The messenger said: "From what the bandit in the lead said, it seems that they came here to rob."

"How many are they?"

"Two teams of 30 people."

"Interesting, it seems to follow the trend of looting the devil-occupied area. Let's go, Lao Liu, let's take a look."

"Yes, group seat."

But who are these bandits?
It was a coincidence that it was the bandits from Xiaoliang Mountain who escaped from Dalong Mountain near Tan County.

The master is Liu Baisheng who is known as the timely rain.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, there was an upsurge in looting the Japanese-occupied areas.

Although the instigator was Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, Liu Baisheng was a very important part of the incident.

If it weren't for him to spread the news to the bandit villages around the devil-occupied area, saying that the devil-occupied area has advantages.

The bandits in the northwestern Shanxi area will not successively participate in the camp of robbing the devil-occupied areas.

If the bandits were not the first to rob, the Eighth Route Army would not join them either.

In the end, even the Jinsui Army, the National Army, and the Central Army all joined in the fun.

It has also evolved into an upsurge of robbing the devil-occupied area.

It is said that after Liu Baisheng escaped from Dalong Mountain with the bandits from Xiaoliang Mountain, he took the opportunity to fish a few in the devil-occupied area.

There were not many bandits in this group, but they robbed a lot, from Tan County to the vicinity of Taiyuan City.

As for the sudden counterattack launched by the Japanese army, it started from Yangquan as the center point.

As for Taiyuan City, because the Japanese army's law and order became stricter, there was no outbreak immediately.

Coupled with the Japanese counterattack, it was just the beginning.

The news was blocked, so that the bandits in Xiaoliang Mountain had not received the information that the Japanese army had begun to counterattack.

Including some counties and villages around Taiyuan City, they have not received the news yet.

This Liu Baisheng, as usual, brought his bandit team today, and wanted to take a look around here to see if there was any chance to strike.

As a result, it happened to collide with the troops of the [-]st Regiment, which blocked the rearguard troops of the [-]st Regiment.

There is also the scene in front of me.

The two sides met.

At this time, Liu Baisheng and his party had already been disarmed, and they squatted obediently together with a look of bad luck.

Liu Caihe asked: "You bandits, which one is in charge?"

Liu Baisheng got up, and hurriedly replied: "I have met you sir, I am Liu Baisheng, the head of Xiaoliangshan."

"Xiaoliangshan?"

"Sir, we were originally bandits on Dalong Mountain near Tan County, nicknamed Xiaoliang Mountain."

Lu Duoxian said happily: "It's kind of interesting. I've heard about you. It seems that you gangsters were the ones who robbed the devil's bank in the first place, right?"

Liu Baisheng gave a wry smile in his heart, and he didn't bother to explain much. Anyway, jumping into the Yellow River now wouldn't make it clear, so he nodded obediently.

"What are you doing right now?"

Liu Baisheng said: "Sir, right now I am taking my brothers to step on some ground, and I am going to enter the devil-occupied area to grab something!"

The news that the Japanese army has secretly prepared a big counterattack, Lu Duoxian is still not clear, his intelligence is still stuck in the big wave of looting the devil-occupied area.

"So, are the supplies and cash of the puppet army really so easy to grab?" Lu Duoxian asked suspiciously.

Liu Baisheng nodded quickly, he was eager to divert the attention of Lu Duoxian and others.

If this master accidentally shoots his group to death, there is no reason to go.

"Sir, it's really easy to rob. During this time, shops and banks in the devil-occupied area are being robbed everywhere.

Anyone who makes a move can get some benefits.

On the other hand, in the surrounding area of ​​Taiyuan City, there are actually relatively few people being robbed these days, and the county town is quite rich in supplies and cash. "

Benefits are touching, Lu Duoxian immediately turned his head and said to Liu Cai in a low voice:

"Old Liu, what this bandit said reminded me that we are going to take refuge in the little devil, why don't we give him another vote before we take refuge?
I have heard of the situation after becoming the Imperial Association Army.

Basically, the devils don't distribute equipment and supplies to the Imperial Association Army, and the puppet military government prepares them themselves.

After we go over, if we want to live a comfortable life in the regiment, we probably have to work harder on our own. "

It is always right to save more money now. "

"Since their No. 30 bandits can go to the devil-occupied area to grab things, it will definitely work if we go up."

Liu Cai thought for a while, and immediately responded: "Tuan Zuo, I think this idea is successful. After the big robbery craze started, because we have a different relationship with devils here, we have not been able to make a move. I am afraid that the little devil will catch you." got the handle.

But now we are going to go to Taiyuan City to join the devils, and we will vote along the way, so the little devils should not suspect us. "

"Oh, you have an idea?" Lu Duoxian asked in surprise.

Liu Cai looked at Liu Baisheng and his party with a smirk, and said, "Tuan Zuo, isn't there an opportunity in front of us, if we pretend to be a bandit team and enter the county to rob, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea." Lu Duoqian was immediately moved, and the two old foxes hit it off immediately.

After finishing the discussion in a low voice, Lu Duoxian strode up to Liu Baisheng and his party of bandits, and said loudly:

"Brother Liu, it's not easy for you to be bandits these days. It's fate that we met. Don't worry, we are all Chinese. I won't kill you."

"In this way, let's work together to make a deal, and I'll let you go when it's done, how about it?"

People were under the eaves, seeing that Lu Duoxian was willing to let him go, Liu Baisheng didn't dare to hesitate, he quickly responded:

"Please command, sir, we will cooperate."

Lu Duoxian laughed and said: "Okay, happy, this way, this way..."

………………

After ten minutes.

Lu Duoxian continued to set off in the direction of Taiyuan City with the team of the [-]st Regiment, but this time the speed slowed down a lot.

And in the middle of the journey, Lu Duoxian seemed to have weak legs, and even stopped and stopped, constantly letting the soldiers rest on the spot.

What?
Deliberately delaying time.

It turned out that just after Lu Duoxian led the team to leave, Liu Cai, the deputy head of the regiment, secretly led two hundred soldiers from the [-]st Regiment, as well as Liu Baisheng and his party, and left on the way.

what to do?

Partnered to rob the devil-occupied area.

The target location of the robbery was a town in the middle of Taiyuan City and Yangquan.

The bandits led by Liu Baisheng and his party first went to the bandit village where Liu Baisheng and the others were.

Liu Cai and the soldiers all put on bandit clothes.

Although Liu Baisheng's group of bandits were not many in number, they robbed and looted everywhere during this period of time. They also saved some clothes in the stockade, and managed to scrape together [-] sets of clothes for the soldiers of the [-]st Regiment.

Immediately a new team of bandits was born.

At first glance, it really looks like that.

Then this group of bandits set off towards the town occupied by the devils.

Lu Duoxian and Liu Baisheng have discussed the conditions.

As long as bandits like Liu Baisheng can bring the soldiers of the [-]st Regiment into the town, they can successfully grab supplies and cash.

Lu Duoxian agreed not only to give Liu Baisheng a portion, but also to let them go.

Liu Baisheng thought for a moment, this person has a lot of power, and more than 200 people entered the county to rob, and the success rate must be higher.

It is a good thing to be able to survive and get some benefits, so I naturally nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Lu Duoxian continued to lead the team, trying every means to delay the time, waiting for the rendezvous with the deputy head Liu Cai and others.

I look forward to Liu Cai and the others being able to grab more supplies, cash and so on.

But he didn't know how long he waited, and he didn't get any news.

Even if the team stopped and stopped on purpose, they were already approaching Taiyuan City.

On the other side of Taiyuan City, the ghost Takeda Eijiro couldn't wait any longer, and while cursing Lu Duoxian, he sent people to meet the [-]st Regiment in advance.

After the devil's support team arrived, there was no movement from Liu Cai's side.

Lu Duoxian had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the team to continue heading towards Taiyuan City.

Only this time, under the urging of the corresponding captain of the devil, Lu Duoxian could no longer delay time wantonly.
