Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!"

"..."

"The Imperial Army is here to wipe out the Eighth Route Army!"

"..."

"If you are willing to cooperate with the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will not treat you unfairly!"

"..."

"If you are unwilling to cooperate, you will bear the consequences!"

“…You will suffer the consequences at your own risk!”

The effect this time was good. Zhao Gang and others in the distance could vaguely hear some sounds, but they couldn't hear clearly what was said.

Zhao Gang and his men didn't hear clearly, but the soldiers near the Dashiqiao Bridge did. Shen Quan glanced at the messenger beside him and said, "Tell the political commissar that the Japanese think we are bandits from Heiyun Mountain and are coming to surrender us!"

"Yes!"

Soon Zhao Gang knew what the group of puppet soldiers and devils on the opposite side were shouting.

"Are the Japs cheating?"

This was Zhao Gang's first reaction, but Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said, "Probably not. The news that we have taken over Black Cloud Mountain should not be known to many people outside. The people around here have either gone into the mountains to hide or are in the mountains behind us. Moreover, the people don't know that Black Cloud Mountain has been occupied by us!"

"what do you mean?"

Zhao Gang looked at Zhang Dabiao, who thought for a moment and said, "Political Commissar, maybe we can send someone to make contact!"

Zhao Gang frowned and asked, "Are you planning to have us disguise ourselves as bandits?"

"Yes, I guess the Japanese are planning to use the enemy's strength to their advantage. They don't understand the terrain of Taihang Mountain and want to rely on the bandits in Taihang Mountain to lead the way. I think we can make good use of this!"

"Will it be too risky?"

"Political Commissar, the regimental commander had to pretend to be a Japanese soldier before, so he could capture and kill a Japanese major general. Given the Japanese's behavior of searching one mountain after another, we can't hide. Why not take advantage of this opportunity and trick the Japanese into leaving!"

After thinking about it, Zhao Gang felt that what Zhang Dabiao said made sense, but he still felt it was a bit risky.

"Political Commissar, I'm going to contact the puppet army and see what conditions they can offer!"

"Okay, let's go around the back mountain. We don't want to expose our position on the mountain for the time being!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Dabiao immediately rushed to the back mountain, and at the same time instructed all the troops on Heiyun Mountain to hide everything related to the troops so as not to let the Japanese or puppet troops find any clues.

Half an hour later, Xie the translator and others, whose throats had become hoarse from shouting, sat on the ground panting.

"Thank you for the translation. Are you mistaken? No one is paying any attention to us! Are we on the wrong hill?"

Hearing this, Xie the translator fanned himself and said, "Impossible! This is Black Cloud Mountain. There's absolutely no way we could be mistaken. Perhaps these bandits knew the Imperial Army was coming, so they ran away!"

"If you keep yelling, I won't believe these bandits won't even give up their nest!"

"Thank you for the translation. Let's take a break. We can't shout anymore. Our voices are hoarse!"

The puppet army squad leader lay directly on the ground, gasping for breath.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly rang out from a distance, "I'm from Black Cloud Village. What are you doing here? We and the Japanese have always kept our distance!"

At this time, Zhang Dabiao had already circled around the back mountain and hid behind a rock.

"who?"

The puppet soldiers got up in panic, while the Japanese soldiers who came with them had already raised their guns and aimed at them.

After hearing this, Translator Xie excitedly said, "Put down your guns, put down your guns! They are the bandits from Black Cloud Village!"

As he spoke, he was talking to a Japanese sergeant, who then signaled all the Japanese to lay down their weapons.

Translator Xie shouted, "Heroes of Black Cloud Village, I'm here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Imperial Army. Can you please come out and talk?"

"Say it right here!"

After hearing this, Translator Xie didn't hesitate any longer and said directly, "The Imperial Army wants to cooperate with you!"

"How to cooperate?"

"The Imperial Army wants you to lead the way to the Eighth Route Army. If you find them, you will be rewarded. The Imperial Army said that as long as you cooperate, you will definitely not be treated unfairly!"

Zhang Dabiao thought for a moment and said, "Are the Japs really coming here to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, not us?"

Hearing this, Translator Xie patted his thigh and said, "Good men, there are only a few of you. As for the Imperial Army sending 200,000 men to wipe you out, let me tell you, the Taihang Mountains are already surrounded by the Imperial Army, and it's only out of mercy that the Imperial Army is leaving you a chance to survive. Otherwise, they would have razed your Black Cloud Village to the ground in a matter of minutes!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao was silent for a while, as if frightened by Xie the translator's words. After a while, he said, "Okay, but we also have conditions!"

When Zhang Dabiao went down the mountain, he was thinking about how to get away with it, so he wanted to test the bottom line of the Japanese.

"You say! The Imperial Army will not treat you unfairly."

"First, we want ten thousand dollars!"

As soon as this was said, the fat translator laughed: "As long as you are willing to cooperate, ten thousand yuan is nothing!"

"Second, we will not send troops to help you fight the Eighth Route Army. We don't want to be cannon fodder!"

After hearing this, Translator Xie immediately said anxiously, "How can we cooperate if you don't send troops?"

Zhang Dabiao immediately said, "We can send someone to take you to find the Eighth Route Army. We are very familiar with the Taihang Mountains. We even robbed the supplies of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army some time ago. We know where they are!"

Translator Xie didn't know how tempting the New 1st Regiment was to the Japanese, and the Japanese had never mentioned anything about it to him, so after thinking for a moment he replied, "I can't agree to this condition. I need to go back and discuss it with the Queen!"

"Okay, let's meet here at 5 o'clock this afternoon! Don't bring too many people, otherwise I won't come out to meet you!"

"No problem, I don't know what your name is yet."

"The second in command of Black Cloud Village, Mountain Cat!"

Chapter 77 Li Yunlong is kilometers away from Taiyuan

"You two follow him and see how to get up the mountain!"

After translator Xie agreed to Zhang Dabiao's request to meet at 5 pm, he immediately whispered to the two puppet soldiers beside him.

After hearing this, the two puppet soldiers immediately followed.

However, when the two puppet soldiers came behind the stone, Zhang Dabiao had disappeared.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao was walking back along the way he came, and did not take the big stone bridge in front. After all, it was daytime, and if he went around it openly, the Japanese might find his way up the mountain.

After circling around and arriving at the back mountain, Zhang Dabiao came to the foot of the cliff. Someone was already waiting there and used a winch and a bamboo basket to pull Zhang Dabiao up.

"I'll never ride this thing again. It's too scary!"

Sitting in a bamboo basket at a height of over 100 meters, the basket would shake when the wind blew. It was only because Zhang Dabiao had a good psychological quality that he persevered. A less courageous person might have fainted from fright.

"Captain, don't worry. We've even used this bamboo basket to pull an ox before. It's very stable!"

The soldier in charge of the winch on the back mountain said with a smile.

After Zhang Dabiao returned to the mountain, he immediately found Zhao Gang and told him what had just happened.

"This move by the Japs is really insidious. The bandits in the mountains are definitely willing to cooperate with the Japs. Our troops are in danger!"

The bandits in the mountains also live in the mountains, so they are very familiar with the Taihang Mountains. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's activities in the area inevitably require them to deal with people around them, so the bandits can easily obtain information about the Eighth Route Army's base.

"It's a pity that Lao Li's bandit suppression plan had just been formulated when the Japanese came to sweep, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry!"

Old Xing nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "We'll send some people out tonight to report this news and minimize the losses as much as possible!"

"Well, send out a few more teams to deliver the message safely!"

"no problem!"

"What about the Japs? Why do they just attack directly?"

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and shook his head. "Our mission this time is to avoid fighting and delay as much as possible. Do you have any good ideas?"

"I think we can fool the Japs!"

Shen Quan thought for a moment and then raised his hand.

Everyone looked at Shen Quan. Shen Quan thought for a moment and said, "Since we want to delay time, why not send a few people to pretend to cooperate with the devils and lead them to find the person!"

"We can take the Japanese soldiers to explore places we've been stationed in before, such as Guojia Town, Yixiantian, and Yangcun. We can delay for a day, and the better. We can also take the Japanese soldiers to explore some places with dangerous terrain that we know of. Anyway, there are no troops there. What do you think?"

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately won the approval of most people: "I think this method is good!"

"I think it's feasible!"

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "If we still can't find the person, the Japanese will get angry and embarrassed, and then..."

"We can just find a time to run away. Five days, I think we can delay it for five days. Didn't the commander say that the Japanese can retreat in a week to ten days? Let's delay it for five days and lead the Japanese to a farther place. Even if the Japanese react and want to cause trouble for us, it will take time!"

"Let's hold on for another two or three days, and the Japanese will retreat soon!"

"can!"

"I'll take the devils shopping. I'll tell them I'm the second-in-command, Shanmao. If the fake second-in-command shows up, the devils will trust me more!"

"Bringing two more people will also provide some support!"

"I'll go!"

Shen Quan raised his hands: "I'm quite skilled, which will be convenient for me when I run away."

"..."

On the other side, the Japanese were stationed.

Translator Xie trotted over to Riyan Qie Xiu, panting. "Hoo, hoo, Madam, Madam, hoo, hoo, good news! We found them! We found the bandits!"

Higanchi Hide was already getting a little impatient, but after seeing Translator Xie panting, he calmed down a bit and asked, "Are the bandits willing to cooperate?"

"Yes, they are willing to lead the Imperial Army to fight against the Eighth Route Army, but they have a condition!"

Translator Xie stated Zhang Dabiao's conditions. Ri Yanqie Xiu frowned and said, "Yoshi, Translator Xie, you did a great job. The Imperial Army can give them the money they want, and the Imperial Army doesn't need them to send troops to help. They just need them to find the Eighth Route Army. Tell them that the Imperial Army has agreed to their conditions!"

Zhang Dabiao asked for 10,000 oceans and the condition of not sending troops. Ri Yanqie Xiu had no doubts, which was also consistent with Ri Yanqie Xiu's understanding of the domestic bandits and puppet troops.

These puppet troops who surrendered to the devils and their messy armed forces were all after money and getting rich. If there were no conditions, Ri Yan Qi Xiu would still think there was a problem. Once the conditions were put forward, Ri Yan Qi Xiu did not think much about it. Instead, he wanted to cooperate as soon as possible, find the Eighth Route Army troops earlier, and then make meritorious deeds!

"Hayi, Hayi, I'll go and inform them right away, but they said they'll meet again at five in the afternoon. Do you think you should send someone over?"
