Chapter 1637: Doihara Xianer Visited Here
Cao County South, Liuhe East Station.
The station building has been razed to the ground and all the tracks have been removed.
Xiang Chu looked at the empty train and said regretfully:
"What a great freight train, it's about to be blown up."
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Then let's not blow it up!"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "If we don't blow it up, it will be the same as leaving it to the Japs, who can continue to transport supplies to attack us. Since the railway has been torn down and the station building has been demolished, this train won't be a big deal.
Once the main force has left, you can blow it up. Also, plant more mines in the south, put on Japanese uniforms and pretend to be Doihara Kan'er's troops and ambush them. Then, evacuate to the north and make a detour back to the base."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Liu Zhengxiong ran over and said with a smile, "Commander-in-Chief! Everything that needs to be transported has been transported. Can we go back now?"
Xiang Chu said angrily, "Why don't you go back and wait for the Japs to come and wipe them out? Hurry up and leave! Give Lao Gan time to lay the mines."
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise, "Laying mines? What if the explosion hits the civilians who come here to pick up the spoils?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Lao Gan and the others are watching, what are you afraid of? Let's go!"
After saying this, he jumped on his horse and hurried after the transport team.
Liu Zhengxiong mounted his horse and caught up, mocking him, "You're running so fast, what are you afraid of?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "According to intelligence, a large group of Japanese soldiers are coming here from Shangqiu. Oh, right! Take your men and collect these telephone lines. We need to answer the phone when we get back."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "The Japanese troops are coming, and you still want me to collect the phone lines?"
Xiang Chu stood on horseback, pulled the telephone wire from the pole, rolled it into a ball and threw it to him, saying:
"Stay! It's that simple."
"This is like raking grass to catch rabbits!"
Liu Zhengxiong smiled, quickly picked up the phone line and put it in his backpack.
Xiang Chu rode forward and asked with a smile, "Old Liu! Where are Li Deshui and Ding Yizhou?"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly caught up and said disapprovingly: "I left them at the base."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "You are wrong. You should bring them out and keep an eye on them yourself."
Liu Zhengxiong said in disbelief, "Do you still doubt their loyalty?"
Xiang Chu said meaningfully, "Old Liu! We can't be careless. Even Gu Shunzhang, Zhang Guotao, and Gu Zhengwen were able to defect. People like Li Deshui and Ding Yizhou who are prone to change their ways should still be kept a close eye on."
Liu Zhengxiong asked doubtfully, "Who is Gu Zhengwen?"
Xiang Chu replied, "Oh! He was a captain of a reconnaissance brigade under Division Commander Lin. He was captured in Jinan two years ago and defected to the Japanese. He destroyed the Jinan Iron-Blooded Anti-Traitor Corps and our Party's Jinan Working Committee and is treacherous."
Liu Zhengxiong said bitterly, "If I have the chance, I will definitely get rid of this traitor."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Who has the time to care about him? Let's build a good base and complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters."
Liu Zhengxiong said arrogantly: "We now have people, guns, money and food. Building a base area is easy. We must eliminate the bandits, traitors, puppet troops and Japanese troops in the surrounding areas."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Don't be too hasty! First gain a firm foothold, then fight."
Liu Zhengxiong reminded: "Don't forget! We can't stay here for too long."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! I hope Xiaoliu and Ergou can find Lü Zheng's detachment."
At this time, Qian Fu rode up and reported: "Commander-in-Chief! Xiaoliu sent a telegram saying that he has found Lü Zheng's detachment and is heading to Tushan."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Great! Father and son finally meet. Old Liu! You command the troops to march, and I will go to meet Lü Zheng's detachment. Send another platoon to the south to blow up any bridges we see to slow down the enemy's advance."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu, along with Qian Fu and others, rode his horses eastward.
North of Shangqiu, east of Shahe.
A large group of Japanese soldiers crossed the river and rested on the north bank.
"Report!"
The Japanese radio operator ran over and reported:
"Captain! The commander of the regiment has ordered our troops to accelerate their march to Liuhe East Station, detain Doihara Kan'er, and reclaim the supplies from the special train."
The Japanese battalion commander, Oshima Hiroshi, nodded and said, "Reply to the regiment commander, our army is approaching Cao County."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator bowed and accepted the order.
The Japanese Chief of Staff, Takeshita Kai, asked in confusion, "Captain! How could General Doihara hijack the Imperial military train?"
Oshima Hiroshi smiled bitterly and said, "Takeshita-kun! You don't know that Commander Okamura hates General Doihara and refuses to provide him with supplies. It's normal for him to hijack the special train."
Takeshita Kai said with a smile: "If we engage him in close combat, do we really have to fight?"
Oshima Hiroshi waved his hand and said, "Don't fight! Convince him to leave the supplies behind so we can save face."
Takeshita Kai praised: "Yoshi! This way we can avoid offending General Doihara and report to the regiment commander."
Oshima Hiroshi mounted his horse and shouted, "All troops, speed up and advance. Target is Liuhe East Station in Cao County."
"Hello!"
The Japanese soldiers obeyed the order in unison.
Hiroshi Oshima led the Japanese soldiers in a frantic run and stopped at a three-way intersection.
A scout ran over and pointed to the right, reporting, "Captain! On the right, after crossing the Dongsha River Bridge, there is a beautiful village called Xishi Village. There are many beautiful girls."
Oshima Hiroshi said with a grin, "Yoshi! Xishi is the leader of the Chinese flower girls, and she's the one who goes into the village to sweep the place."
The Japanese scout corrected him: "Captain! It's the poem of poetry."
"Boom! Boom!"
There were series of explosions coming from the direction of Liuhe East Station.
Oshima Hiroshi was stunned and roared: "Baga! Doihara has gone crazy and actually blew up the train station."
Takeshita Kai suggested: "Captain! Should we go to Liuhe East Station first and come back to rob it?"
Oshima Hiroshi shook his head and said, "No! You take the cavalry and go ahead to dissuade Doihara Kan'er from continuing his evil deeds. This captain must enter the village to clean up."
"Hello!"
Takeshita Kai accepted the order reluctantly.
Hiroshi Oshima led the Japanese soldiers towards Nishishi Village.
A long wooden and stone bridge appeared in front of us.
On the other side of the wooden and stone bridge, people were harvesting crops.
Oshima Hiro roared, "Yoshi! All the food and beauties belong to our army. Charge across the bridge, 'Three Lights'!"
"Hello!"
The Japanese soldiers excitedly took the order and rushed towards the wooden and stone bridge.
"Boom! Boom!" There were several loud noises.
The wooden and stone bridge was broken into several pieces, blocking the Japanese's ambitions.
Oshima Hiro looked at the flowing river and the fleeing villagers on the other side of the river and shook his head.
"Stop marching! Go to Liuhe East Station."
Liuhe East Station was filled with smoke.
Takeshita Kai led a hundred Japanese soldiers and quickly approached here.
The scene before them left him and the Japanese soldiers dumbfounded.
The train station is completely unrecognizable, with the exception of a few walls, which have been completely demolished.
The military train carriages had been blown to pieces and overturned on both sides of the railway.
The rails on the railway have disappeared, even the sleepers are gone, stretching into the distance.
Takeshita Kai was so angry that he drew his command knife and pointed at the ruins and yelled, "Baka! It must have been done by the Eighth Route Army. Quick! Go forward and check it out!"
The Japanese soldiers, holding their bayonets, lined up and rushed towards the train station.
Takeshita Kai was extremely smart and just followed from a distance.
"Boom! Boom!"
The Japanese soldiers triggered the landmines, and a series of explosions rang out.
Takeshita Hai quickly rolled off his horse and lay on the ground.
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
The sound of machine gun fire rang out, and countless bullets fired over.
Takeshita Kai roared: "Fight back! Kill these people."
A Japanese soldier ran up to him and shouted while firing back:
"Chief of Staff! He seems to be one of our own."
Takeshita Kai picked up the telescope and observed, saying bitterly:
"Hateful! They're actually imperial soldiers."
To the north, the gunfire stopped and the ambushers quickly moved away.
Takeshita Kai led the Japanese soldiers into the train station cautiously.
A Japanese soldier pointed at the words on the toilet wall and read loudly:
"Kan'er Doihara was here!"
