The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Outside the west gate of Baoding, Duan Peng and several team members were observing all the people entering and leaving the city through binoculars.

The subordinate seemed to be a little impatient, and couldn't help reminding: "Captain, the little devil hasn't sent anyone out for several hours!"

"Since killing the two waves of scouts and messengers, there hasn't been a single Japanese puppet army out of the city..."

"Do you think the little devil has discovered us!"

Duan Peng replied while observing the city gate: "Even if the Baoding Japanese army knew we existed, they would continue to send people to Shunping to find out the situation!"

"Compared to the safety of Shunping County, the loss of a few messengers is nothing!"

"But the devils will definitely find a way to avoid us. I doubt they will take off their military uniforms, hide among the people and leave the city, so that we can't tell their real identities!"

Speaking of this, Duan Peng frowned suddenly, pointing to a few "common people" who just came out of the city gate and said...

"The lives of ordinary people in Yizhong are not much better than those in Northwest Shanxi. Under normal circumstances, they should be pale and thin, and have no energy. They are submissive in front of the little devils, for fear of angering the Japanese and puppet troops and setting themselves on fire... Look at those people again!"

"Strong and strong, very energetic, and completely unafraid of the Japanese and puppet troops inspecting at the gate of the city... Walking with arrogance, it's like I'm superior to others!"

"They are wearing patched clothes, they should be ordinary people!"

"Do you think real people will show superiority?"

"They're little devils pretending to be!" A team member suddenly widened his eyes and said.

"They're very short, and walk a bit bow-legged... just like little devils!"

"These people must be Japanese scouts and messengers pretending to be!"

Duan Peng immediately ordered: "Let's follow up..."

"Find a place where there is no one to take them down, and you will be able to find out their true identities at the first trial!"

Twenty minutes later, the four devils pretending to be ordinary people were all taken down. After confirming the identity of the devils, they did not hesitate to kill them.

But several team members were not happy at all.

The devil's messengers can pretend to be ordinary people, and the puppet army scouts and messengers sent by the devils can also do the same.

Compared with devils, it is definitely harder to find these people disguised as ordinary people.

Maybe the devils will send out spies who usually dress up like ordinary people, and it will definitely be more difficult for the special forces to find them.

"There is a way!" Duan Peng said suddenly
"We are divided into two teams... One team will continue to guard the city gate, find those little devils hiding among the people, kill them all, and try not to miss a single person!"

"The other team changed into the little devil's uniform with me, and pretended to be a little devil patrol team to patrol the road, questioning all the ordinary people who want to go to Shunping!"

"It is really difficult to distinguish the puppet army hidden among the common people by ordinary means, but devils can!"

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, more than a dozen people drove towards Shunping in a group. Some were carrying loads, some were carrying goods, some were driving mules, horses, and carts... There was nothing suspicious at first glance.

Baoding is the largest city within a radius of [-] miles, with a prosperous business, and many merchants buy goods here.

The group of people in front of them is obviously a group of small traders who have just finished stocking.

A group of little devil cavalry suddenly walked towards them, with sabers on their waists and horse rifles on their backs, all of them were oriental war horses, very mighty...

More than a dozen people hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, intending to let the devils go first, for fear that if they slowed down a bit, they would be angered and burn themselves.

Afraid of what to come, a dozen devil cavalry suddenly stopped, surrounded a dozen or so civilians in a semi-encirclement circle, and stared at them with scrutiny...

A dozen or so people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they stared at the devil with terrified eyes...

The leading middle-aged man hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to stand up: "Hi Taijun...we are all good citizens, businessmen who went to Baoding to buy goods...this is our good citizen certificate..."

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take out the certificate of good citizenship for the Taijun to check..."

The "Japanese" who took the lead did not accept the certificate of good citizenship handed over by the middle-aged man, but spoke a lot of Japanese to the translator next to him...

"Taijun suspects that there are spies of the Eighth Route Army among you..." the translator raised his head and said to a dozen ordinary people.

"Shunping is at war, and ordinary people can't avoid it, so why are you running there? It's too suspicious!"

"Taijun wants to take you back for interrogation, one by one, and he will release you if there is no problem..."

The two spies hidden in the crowd became anxious when they heard this.

The task given to them by the Japanese is to rush to Junping as soon as possible to find out the real situation there!

If he was brought back to the stronghold by the Japanese, after some interrogation, he might not be able to come out in two days.

They glanced at each other and stood up from the crowd: "Hi Taijun..."

"We belong to the Baoding Special Service Team. We were ordered to go to Shunping to carry out the investigation mission. Please let the prince let us go... This is our certificate!"

The "Japanese" who took the lead made a pretentious check, then murmured a lot to the translator, and then stared at the two spies.

The translator immediately said: "Taijun said that the documents of the two of you are fine, you can leave..."

"But Taijun wants to know if there are other members of the special service team to carry out this mission... Recently, the Eighth Route Army's activities have become more and more rampant. Taijun is afraid of accidentally injuring his own people during the operation!"

The two spies often dealt with the Japanese, and when they heard what the other said, they were sure that they were the elite of the Japanese army, and they answered quickly: "Reporting to the prince, there are more than a dozen people acting with us..."

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army arranged an ambush on the road... In order to prevent everyone from being caught in one pot, we will work in groups of two and separate!"

"Yoshi..."

The "Japanese" who led the team was obviously satisfied with this answer. After speaking Japanese to his subordinates, a dozen cavalrymen stepped aside in an instant, and the translator said at the same time: "You can go..."

"Thank you Majesty...we must successfully complete the investigation mission..."

After speaking, he left the crowd and continued on his way in the direction of Junpei.

Little did they know that as soon as they left, the two "devil" cavalry left the team at the same time, hanging far behind them.

After they were two kilometers away from the crowd, the cavalry suddenly accelerated, holding sabers in their hands, and rushed towards them in a daze.

At nine o'clock the next morning, the buzzing sound of the plane suddenly reached Shunping County.

One minute later, a black dot appeared on the edge of the sky, the buzzing became louder and louder, and the black dot immediately turned into a silver-white plane.

More than 100 soldiers of the garrison quickly stood up to their respective ends, and erected the little devil plaster flag that had been prepared for a long time...

When the plane came over Shunping, all the four city gates in Shunping County were flying devil plaster flags...

On the city wall, plaster flags are inserted every tens of meters.

The captured puppet army, soldiers pretending to be little devils, carrying rifles, patrolling back and forth on the top of the city...

There are also several "devils" waving plaster flags to greet the plane...

The Junpei Garrison Command, the Junpei Arsenal, the Gendarmerie, the Police Station...all of them are flying plaster flags.

The city is orderly and orderly, without any trace of fighting...

Half an hour later, the aviation investigation results appeared at the Baoding Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters.

"General, the results of the plane investigation are in! Shunping County is still in our hands!" the chief of staff reported with a relaxed expression.

"The county is in a state of martial law, and there are patrols of the imperial army and the imperial association army all over the city, and there is no sign of any fighting in the city!"

"When the reconnaissance plane flew over the city, the imperial army waved the military flag to greet the pilots!"

"According to my knowledge, the Eighth Route Army also blocked Shunping County by ambushing scouts and messengers."

"In order to find out the true strength of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, Mr. Harada abandoned martial law and the city gates, and allowed the Chinese to enter and leave the county freely. His scouts and intelligence personnel could enter and leave the county together among the common people, avoiding the Eighth Route Army's blockade troops."

"The effect is very good. Not only have we found out the approximate strength of the Shanxi Northwest Independent Regiment, but we have also found out where they are stationed!"

"The Eighth Route Army must have sneaked into Shunping County during this period and attacked the Shunping Garrison Command, making it impossible for them to contact us by radio!"

"The Junpei garrison suffered heavy losses in previous battles and has not been replenished."

"The limited forces are all concentrated on the top of the city, resulting in a serious shortage of defenders in the headquarters!"

"As long as the Eighth Route Army sneaking into Junping is elite enough, there is at least an [-]% chance of successfully destroying the radio station..."

I have to say that the Japanese are very imaginative.

Just a reconnaissance telegram from the aviation unit can make up a large number of non-existent war scenes.

What he said was well-founded, and the brigade leader nodded again and again, and accepted the chief of staff's nonsensical judgment.

In the end, the two reached a common conclusion: "Shunping County is still in our hands!"

"The Eighth Route Army deliberately destroyed the radio station of the Shunping Garrison Headquarters, artificially interrupted the communication between the two places, and made Baoding mistakenly believe that there was an accident in Shunping, and then sent troops to reinforce Shunping, and they took the opportunity to send reinforcements, exhausting the strength of Baoding's garrison..."

With this judgment, Major General Hase no longer forced the communication department, but asked them to establish a communication channel between Shunping and Baoding as soon as possible.

With less pressure, there will naturally be fewer scouts and messengers sent by the communications staff to Junping.

Coupled with the endless interception methods of the Special Forces, few Japanese and puppet scouts successfully entered Shunping, let alone approached Shunping County.

Three days later, as soon as the communications staff entered the war room, the chief of staff chased him and asked, "Have you contacted Shunping County?"

The communications staff officer didn't answer the call, and walked all the way to Major General Zhang Gu before speaking: "General, we have been tricked..."

"The Eighth Route Army captured Shunping County four days ago... To be precise, it should have taken Shunping five days ago... The scenes seen by the scouting planes are all fake, and the Eighth Route Army staged it in the uniform of the Imperial Army!"

"This is an information sent by the Junpei intelligence department after a lot of effort!"

"A lot of people have entered Shunping in the past few days, and the humble job has asked them to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence content, and news should come back soon!"
